Pivot of the Sky

Wen Shili smiled back, his delicacy could not be said, with a smile: “If the information illusion of the divine art, this is how things are viewed, such as bird marks in the air, such as people's troubles, as dreams have awakened. Now that you are out of your misery, why don't you follow me? ”

The clouds dropped their glasses and chased down the dunes. Those people walked, but the human cloud couldn't catch up, and then the roar turned into a lion and ran, quickly disappearing on the horizon. The Scorpion King put down the Ice Scorpion and the Scorpion and turned around and drank: “Lion King, you have just escaped from the realm of the Nine Leagues. Where are you going to run with these people? We're not done here! ”

The sound of water echoed in the desert, but the clouds were gone. "The lion's temper hasn't changed, but it's still so easy to be impulsive and stubborn. He had just escaped from the Jiulian Divine College and had been abducted by a god from somewhere. ”

Then he turned around and sat down, and this fierce scorpion king looked at Xiao Xiao, looking at the wine on the table as if he was talking to himself: “Where are these people from? What are they preaching? Looks like there are unknown gods in this world! Without the guidance of the Divine System, it was too hard to explore alone, but I didn't want to look back. ”

The human cloud went away, the Scorpion King drank a few big mouthful of muffled wine and raised his head to Ammon: “The Goddess of Mu Yun sees you, the gods are circulating, she will not hesitate to abandon her ex-husband, Tumz, or even send Tumz to the Underworld to exchange you, you will surely be introduced to the Anunaki Divine System.

You are a worldly monk, and that is very fortunate for you. But truly beyond eternal hardship, I hope you have this day. If you're not interested in the words of the gods, I'm afraid you're even less interested in the advice of my scorpion. Anyway, you've stepped into the Anunaki Divine System, so there's really no need to shake your faith. ”

Amon grinned. “Don't you understand my relationship with Enrique? The flood he started destroyed my home, and I said goodbye to my people, no matter what their sins were. ”

"So you want to join the Marduk side? I have heard that Goddess Mu Yun won a bet with Enrir to free access to the realm of Anunaki and to introduce you to the side of Marduk. ”

Amon shook his head: “The path I want to demonstrate may be different, with the perception of the former man and his own quest, and I've been wondering —— how can the gods transcend eternal life and what is the so-called divinity? I'm just a witness seeker, and I don't want to be part of any divine system. ”

These words are heartfelt words, Amon is an odd number, he has never been guided by any divine system, solved the mysteries of the old madman and Bell in a difficult exploration, finally understood and mastered the power of the source, has had eight levels of achievement, and has experienced everything in Schrödinger's soul tracks, even understood the questioning of destiny and the judgment of the end in advance. Before he became a true god, he could no longer need the guidance of any divine system, just by himself, which the Scorpion King did not know.

Shui chuckled: “You may think too much, whoever you are, whether you believe it or not, the gods are there. I was a messenger of the gods, guided by the Oracle, knowing how different the power of the source is from what you practice, so I just want to be a god truly beyond eternity. Don't look at how powerful I am in the world to fight them, but being a living spirit doesn't mean the same thing. I also want to tell you one last thing: Destruction Storm cannot kill a god who truly transcends eternity. ”

Amon was not surprised to reply: "Thank you for reminding me that I have read the record of the Destruction Storm, saying that it can even rebuild a god, and not saying that its power must destroy a god. Is that the last thing you want to tell me? ”

The water sighed: “I made an oath that although Amat, who guided me, had fallen, I could no longer be driven by Anuna's divine system, the secrets of the gods could not be revealed. I will not tell you what that path is until the day I can guide you, unless I become a god truly beyond eternity, with my own divine domain and divine system.

It was a covenant between the gods, and I was only then eligible to join that covenant, which is why I said those words to you. But you already have an off-the-shelf shortcut that doesn't have to rely on the hope I haven't seen yet. Do you understand now why the Lion King just left and why I ignored those gods? We all have the path we want. ”

Amon raised his glass: "The covenant of the gods has nothing to do with me, but in any case, I want to thank you for telling me this today! As you can see, you also want to find someone to tell you that you are clear and firm in your beliefs. ”

After half a day of drinking this wine, the Scorpion King reached out for the first time and touched Amon in the cup: “You're smarter than I thought, you really see through a lot. In order to thank you for listening to me today, I would like to offer you another commitment, which is a hope. ”

In the legend of the Heavenly Pivot Continent, a divine messenger who lived the endless test like him could be called a god, just like Best of the year. And when they refer to the true god, they refer to it as the "god who truly transcends eternity”, which is deliberately different.

Amon asked, “What kind of hope? ”

"You're a rare genius! But don't forget about the famous spell of the goddess, if one day you leave the Anunaki goddess like a cloud of men, and I have truly become a goddess out of eternity and built my own. Welcome to the gods of this god family. I wanted to talk to King Lion about this, but he ran away. ”

Amon replied, "Thank you for saying this, but I'm not a human cloud. You may have misunderstood my relationship with Mu Yun, but I'm just fulfilling my promise to the Goddess, regardless of whether she loves me or not. ”

Scorpion King shook his head: "If bad luck really comes the day, it won't be easy to say, good luck! ”

Amon lowered his head and laughed bitterly: "Even if the Mu Yun Goddess had such a spell, I would have suffered enough. ”

Xishui stood up and patted Amon's shoulder: “Little age is not easy, don't forget what I said today... Your little friend has been here for half a day, it seems like something is wrong, solve your problems first. ”

The three roars of the Lion King were astonishing, and although the water was used to protect the ice scorpion and the scorpion from harm, the two scorpions were still unconscious. Xishui picked up the two lovers and left, and the strange sand burst beneath her feet disappeared. Amon turned to the far halfway street: "Medanzo, how long have you been here? Come down and take a break. ”

A white cloud drifted loosely, the crystal shuttle closed, and Medanzo walked a little toward the sand dunes, sitting in the chair where Shui had just sat, gasping. Amon looked at him and said, “How can you get drunk without drinking in front of you? ”

Medanzo looked bitterly: "Amon, God! Fortunately, I came too late to get far away. The Lion King's roar was so powerful, I almost didn't fall down and barely held myself in the air. ”

Amon pointed to the wine table in front of him: “They're all gone. Don't waste the good wine dishes. Let's eat and drink before we say you look tired. ”

Medanzo picked up a sip of wine and sighed: "Good wine, excellent wine! That lion king knows how to enjoy it. ”

The two of them enjoyed an almost untouched table, and Amon asked, “When did you arrive, what did you see and what did you hear? ”

“I flew from afar in the roar of King Lion," replied Medanzo. "Then those strange guys passed by, and I heard everything they said. Who are they? Weird talk, no shelves, but it feels like there's more dragging in the bones than the gods! ”

Amon did not hesitate to say, "Ask them who they are. Just stick to your own faith and ask for your own path.... You didn't follow Moses to the Turk Plains, but came this way to me. What happened? ”

Medanzo sighed directly: "O Amon God, your tribe is a vortex, a magnet, no matter where you go, it's surprising that nothing should happen! ”

……

Moses et al. left Ecuadorian territory and crossed the Syrian desert along the eastern shore of the inland lake into the Duke Plains, which should be the most secure route. Because the West Bank of the Inland Lake is a trade route between Ecu and Hattie, there are now municipalities, farms and garrison checkpoints, as well as places where Amon is going to fight Celia, and then head into the Duke Plains, as well as vast swamps, which are difficult to navigate.

Moses et al. passed along the eastern shore of the inland lake, close to the valley of the young bottom, and although there was a very rough road, it crossed the mountains to reach the plains directly. At that time, the Dooku Plains had attracted explorers from the surrounding countries, but such a vast wilderness was hard to see where people were gathering, at least a year ago.

But when Moses led the people over the mountains on the shore of the lake and appeared at the mouth of the plain, a new castle, or just half a small city, appeared ahead. This is the market where the adventurers and the warriors who slaughtered the monsters stood at rest and traded. Moses and others could have rested here and bought supplies before leaving, but they were stopped by the “army” sent by this “city state".

Moses had only sixty men, and the other side had 800 warriors with all kinds of weapons, among them the plateau giants who were able to recruit good fights and form army formations. Moses was surprised, and went up and asked, "We just want to get deep into the wilderness. We're not fighting against you. Like all other explorers, we'll exchange supplies and pay taxes in your town. Why do we have so many warriors to stop us? ”

The city under construction is actually called Marduk City, and its owner is a short plateau giant named Eucil. He sent Moses, “You are the Duke Township miners who fled Ecu, and you have two options to enter the Duke Plains. Either stay in my city, declare your faith in Marduk and swear in the temple; if you wish to return home through this place, promise the Spirit that you will build the temple for Marduk where you will stand and that you will perform the ritual of summoning the Spirit to come. As a pledge, you will leave the leader behind until the pledge is fulfilled. ”

Medanzo knew Eucil, who was the leader of the plateau giant coalition tribe that kidnapped Princess Xiao Xi. In fact, she was sent by Princess Xiao Xi to the Tuk Plains to build a city state, and then extorted a lot of materials from Acad Town. Today, the city is stuck on the eastern shore of Inland Lake into the throat path of the Duke Plains.

Moses et al. were unable to break through, and Medanzo, as a stray hunter, blended into the city of Marduk and found Yussir's owner “old”. He woke up in Eucil's bedroom in the middle of the night and forced the city lord to let go with a short blade around his neck.

Eucher cried: "O fearless warrior, that is not only the command of Princess Sydney, but also the message of the Great God of Marduk! Even if you kill me, it's useless, and if you kill me, you can't get away with it. ”

Medanzo exclaimed: “Marduk's Oracle, what is this? ”

“I don't know what's going on, either," Eusier explained. "I built this city state to be the owner and chief cleric here, with the support of Princess Xiao and the Kingdom of Baron. After the temple was inaugurated, I led several priests to the end of the ceremony, when the Great God of Marduk spoke in my soul that night. The spirits told me that the miners of Turk Town were going to pass through here and that they had to promise not to build idols for any god except Marduk, otherwise they would not be allowed to pass. ”

The situation was beyond Medanzo's control, and he returned immediately to discuss it with Link. They developed two plans, either to have John lead the Link tribe into battle and drive a path to Moses et al., or to have Moses et al turn around from the West Bank on Inland Lake, avoiding the control of the city of Marduk.

The former programme was too costly, and the city state built under the auspices of Iso was the first of its kind, and John, the warrior there, while not afraid to fight the city of Marduk, had to suffer the damage of two losses. The latter option is a difficult one, with Moses and others having to cross the territory controlled by the State of Syria and the inland lake through the impassable Black Fire Marsh. The two decided to get ready with their hands, Medanzo went to explore the road first, and Link rushed to Duke Town to get John ready to take over.

When Link returned to Duke Town, he found out there had been an accident. At the foot of the mountain in the Assyrian plateau north of Duke town, a large group of plateau giants suddenly emerged. Unlike the inhabitants of the Mountain Tribes, they were clearly organized and trained to carry all kinds of equipment and supplies with them, and quickly established camps and fortifications, forming the prototype of a city state at an astonishing rate.

This is clearly not spontaneous and spontaneous behaviour; they are strong soldiers, well-supplied and staffed in a very orderly manner, as is the practice of long-standing army fighters and logistical munitions personnel.

The concentration they built was less than a hundred miles away from the city and state that Link built, they took over the wilderness and planted it on the spot, and they also took over the mining sites where the original Duke townspeople had mined the sacred stone and iron ore, organized the manual mining of the sacred stone and iron ore, and smelted the fine iron on the spot, obviously in preparation for large-scale immigration and propulsion to the whole of the Duke plain.

Link built a city that occupies one of the largest fertile soils in the Duke Plains, and of course clashes ensued after the exotic circle took over the mine. Fortunately, Link had already built a solid city wall, with thousands of people under Iso's rule and stabilised heels, otherwise they could not fight each other at all.

Neither Link nor Medanzo were present, and Iso initially avoided clashes. Later, John came with thirty-six personal guards, gathering the warriors trained by Medanzo into battle formations, demanding that the other side withdraw from the occupied mines. Two battles took place, and neither side took advantage of them.

So they started negotiating, and the other side assumed that the mine was ownerless, and John produced a deed to the town of Duke proving that it was not ownerless, that it had been mined since ancient times, that roads had been built and that veins had been drilled. The other said that the Duke Township miners had long disappeared because of the punishment of the spirits, who refused to give way to the most precious mines on the continent. In fact, both sides understand that it is the most important strategic base for annexation of thousands of miles of fertile soil based on the Duke Plains.

John assembled the warriors to fight them again and found it okay to rely on his city to defend them, but it was unlikely that he would defeat them, so he sat down for a second round of negotiations. John had no backup, but the other side was growing, as they crossed the Assyrian plateau and the walls around the settlements were getting stronger, the first permanent building being the Temple of Enrique.

John's continued offensive was clearly unfavourable under the circumstances, and Iso made another suggestion in due course.

Iso had previously lacked a strong labour force to mine ore and mineral nuclei, and today's inhabitants are not the miners of the town of Turk back then, but mainly cave wildlings, absorbing the scattered tribes around the neighborhood and the wandering explorers of the surrounding countries. They had to grow land to feed themselves, they had to build urban states, and they could not draw enough labour to exploit such a large area of the mine.

So Iso suggested that the two sides cooperate, so long as they recognized that the mine belonged to the people of Duke Town, they could organize a strong plateau giant to carry out heavy mining work and, in return, they could leave 60% of the ore and the core, either smelt the iron ore themselves and take the sacred stone, or let Iso buy it at a fair price on the continent.

This is a wonderful idea. The other side is accumulating strength. Without wanting to have a full-scale conflict with tribes such as cave wildlings, who already have an advantage, it is agreed to this condition of cooperation. Temporary peace has been restored on the Turk Plains.

But Iso is also aware that this apparent safety and security cannot last too long, and it is clear from the other party's posture that the plot is to proceed towards the whole of the Turk plain, based on the settlements at the foot of the Assyrian plateau.
