Gabriel was only halfway there, and there were still many mysteries in his mind that had not yet been solved, but he felt that the letter was very important, and hurried back to the temple in the town to report it to Mary. She wasn't worried that Amon would run away, and with his current condition, he couldn't go anywhere, not to mention that the courtyard had been closely monitored.

In Mary's bedroom, the saint opened the envelope in front of Gabriel, and as she looked at it, her expression became more and more solemn, and her fair face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and she did not speak for a long time. Gabriel asked uneasily, "My lord, your face is wrong, what is written in the letter?"

Mary handed the letter over and said, "See for yourself, please remain calm and not impulsive. ”

Gabriel looked at the letter, couldn't help but be angry, one hand subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword, gritted his teeth hatefully and scolded: "What a despicable person, you will be rejected by the gods! Your original decision, Your Majesty, was completely wise, the Temple of Isis does not need a high priest like Julian, and the one who will never have to come back should be him!"

Mary was relieved, "You and I already know what kind of person Julian is and what he is thinking. Amun's appearance was like a divine guide, and with him and this letter, Julian would certainly not be able to return to the temple of Isis. Vitru is dead, thank the gods, Amon is still alive! as long as he copies the contents of this letter and sends it back to Julian, he will naturally no longer be able to disobey the next order of the temple of Isis. ”

Gabriel nodded, "Use the information magic to copy this letter and send it to High Priest Burke, and tell him that this is a letter written to him by Julian." I don't think the High Priest of Burke can say anything more for Julian, much less prevent you from reappointing a High Priest who is more determined in his faith. ”

Maria: "Alright, that's it, you do it yourself." Amon is important and can't let him be hurt again. ”

Gabriel glanced at the Holy Maiden and asked in a tentative tone, "Listen to you, do you mean to pardon Amun?, a foreign commoner who killed the high priest of the temple of Isis, and he will not be held accountable in any way, and no one will even talk about it again?"

Mary raised her eyes to look directly at Gabriel, and calmly asked, "Shouldn't it be like this?" Amon is innocent, he did not hurt anyone, on the contrary, his noble and selfless conduct symbolizes the inspiration of the gods. It was he who offered the tears of the gods, under the gaze of the goddess Isis. He received Nero's staff, but did not keep it for himself, and returned it to the city-state of the headland. And what this letter means, you should know very well, but he still trusted me and handed it over directly. Is there any reason for such a person to hurt him?"

Gabriel couldn't help but bow his head: "Holy Maiden, what you said is very right, of course I understand this. But I've seen too many noble people doing shameful things, like Mistress Julian. It is precisely because I have witnessed too much evil in the world and the black tail under the gorgeous costume that I have strengthened my faith and the brilliance of the guardian spirit. ...... If it falls into the hands of another adult, Amon will put his life in danger if he hands over this letter, and I am just worried about him. ”

Maria: "That's what I thought, so I decided to protect Amun." ”

Gabriel: "I would like to ask one more question, why do you think so, my lord? You are not in the same position as I am, and you should understand that Amun knows about the scandal involving the temple of Isis, which may bring shame on the gods or the temple. ”

Mary smiled faintly: "The only shameful person can humiliate is himself, and as the patron saint of the goddess Isis, I am guarding the dignity and brilliance of the gods." Whether in the sun or in the dark, I will not do anything that disgraces the gods, this is true faith. ”

Gabriel bowed and said, "You are indeed a holy woman, and your eyes symbolize the mercy of the goddess. I want to confess to you, I just suspected one thing in my heart, Amon himself knew the contents of this letter, and I was still wondering what to do if he knew?"

Mary looked at the envelope on the table and said, "The envelope doesn't look like it was moved, and the contents are written in the Aeju script, so he shouldn't know what is written in it." In fact, even if he had read it, what could he do? It was not his fault that the letter had fallen into his hands. The content of the letter is important to us and we should thank him...... Gabriel, you haven't finished asking your words, I want to ask him personally. ”

Gabriel thought for a moment, "You saved him, and he should thank you." I will arrange for him to have a chance to be summoned by the Holy Maiden, tomorrow morning. It's a small town and not the Temple of Isis, where everything is more convenient. ”

...... While touring the river Ronnie, the Holy Maiden rescued a fainting passerby on the shore and ordered him to be taken to the town. Early the next morning, the rescued expressed their reverence and gratitude to the Holy Maiden. It was a great honor for the merciful saint to summon him.

Amun, under the guidance of his servants, waited outside the temple and waited for the Holy Maiden to finish her breakfast, and then ordered her to be summoned to the ceremonial hall of the temple, which was also the place where the Holy Maiden temporarily conducted official business. The blanket had already been laid on the ground, and Amon could not get too close, so he saluted the Holy Maiden on the blanket according to the prescribed etiquette, and prostrated his knees and elbows on the ground, bowing his head and kissing the ground.

The saint sat there, beckoned him to stand up, and said with a calm expression: "I really didn't expect it to be you, the one who mined the tears of the gods in Duk Town, and reunited by the river of the gods, this is the guidance of the gods...... Come, give Mr. Amon a chair and ask him to sit down and talk. ”

The servants were taken aback, and the commoners were not qualified to sit in the presence of the Holy Maiden, unless there was a reason to receive a special gift. It was this young man who mined the tears of the gods in the first place, and the Holy Maiden did not hide it, admitting that she had known Amon for a long time, and everyone looked at Amon with a look of surprise.

After Amon sat down, he replied in a proper manner: "I was a miner back then, and it was my duty to mine the sacred stones, and it was the gods who gave the tears of the gods to the holy woman by my hand. And today it was the Holy Maiden who saved me, and I don't know how to express my gratitude!"

Maria: "I didn't expect it to be you. ”

Amon: "yes, I didn't expect it to be you!"

If there was anything special about this summoning scene, it was that Amon always looked the Holy Maiden in the eye when he spoke, just as he had done in Duketown. He looked at her, with a wordless sigh in his heart, knowing that there was a world of difference in status between the two, staring into her eyes may be the only thing he can do, and the once budding youthful feelings can only be buried deep in his heart.

Since Aiko can recognize him, he must still remember the "accidental" hug and touch, and he almost kissed her. This is a past that must not be spoken, and Echo did not get angry with him because of it, and buried this common secret in his heart, otherwise Amon would not have sat here in a good manner. A simple question and answer, two people say almost the same thing, and only they can understand.

The saint waved her hand, her posture was indescribably elegant and noble, and said with a smile: "Mr. Amun, not only have you mined and offered the tears of the gods, but I have also heard another thing, not long ago, you returned the staff of the Lord Priest of the Cape City, as well as a large number of precious relics, what a noble and selfless character. I saved you, it should be the call and guidance of the gods, and you should thank the goddess Isis for watching. ”

The Holy Maiden then inquired about how Amun had obtained Nero's relics, and because it might involve the secret past of a great magician, she ordered all her servants to retreat, leaving only Gabriel by her side.

Amon had already said that "experience" twice in the Cape Temple, and it was only a matter of repeating it at this time. Then he recounted what had happened to the city-state at the headland, and Maria asked, "You are a fifth-level mid-rank warrior, but as far as I know, Vitru is a sixth-level magician, and Julian's personal guards are all mid-level warriors, how can you kill them all?"

Amon's heart tightened, this fateful question could not be avoided after all, he could not recount the complete battle, which would reveal all the secrets.

However, Maria did not wait for him to answer, and then asked, "The patriarch of the House of Lington did not thank you for your kindness, but also brought the magicians and warriors to hunt you down. Two groups of people who seek money and kill people appear for the same purpose, and neither of them can expose themselves, I think it is because they are fighting and losing both, that you have a chance to leave your surname. Is that so?"

Is there a more perfect answer, O gods? Mary asked him if that was the case, and she actually answered it for him. Amon had already pondered this explanation, but now he didn't need to bother with his words, so he quickly nodded and said, "The Holy Maiden is wise and wise, that's right!"

Gabriel interjected, "Can you recall and describe the physiognomy of everyone around Vitru in as much detail as possible?"

Amon described the physiognomy of several warriors, the weapons they were wearing, and so on, Gabriel turned around in surprise and said, "Holy Maiden, among them is Julian's nephew Schutt, and his personal guard captain Haven. This Haiwen is quite good, and he has a good chance of advancing to the Great Samurai, but he didn't expect to die!"

Mary said with a look of regret: "Mr. Amon, I want to apologize to you on behalf of the Temple of Isis, it is very likely that High Priest Julian is behind this matter. But all of them died, and there is no conclusive evidence that he did it. According to the Eju Decree, commoners could not directly sue a great magician, and all accusations had to be made on behalf of another nobleman with knowledge of the matter, and the Supreme Priest's Court decided.

Since everyone present is dead, I am afraid that there will be no nobles who are familiar with the inside story to file charges on your behalf, and even if you go to the court of the highest priest of Eju, Julian will not be dealt with in any way, and after it is made public, it will be very unfavorable to your situation. But please rest assured, I will not let this happen in vain, and I will definitely expel Julian from the temple of Isis because he has hurt the dignity of the gods. ”

Amon stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "Your Excellency, how can you apologize to me? I understand your words, you saved me and protected me. ”

Maria waved her hand again: "Amon, you should sit and talk." Then he pointed to Gabriel and said, "You have given us a secret letter, and you have confessed that it came from Vitru's corpse." You know, a foreigner could put his life at risk by doing this, why do you trust Lord Gabriel and me so much?"

Amon seemed to be smiling bitterly: "People live in the world, facing many unknown dangers, you don't know when and where it will appear. But you have to trust some people, and if there is no one in this world to trust, then what's the point of living in this world?"

Maria's calm expression was finally slightly moved, and Sakura's lips opened slightly, and she wanted to say something but didn't say anything. Then Gabriel asked, "Amun, do you know how to read?"

Isn't this nonsense, how could Amun understand Nero's last words if he was not literate? And Mary should know better, Amun probably knew not only the sword book but also the Egü cursive script, otherwise how could he call the name "Aiko"?

Amon replied honestly, "My lord, I am literate. But he didn't explain which script he knew.

Gabriel asked, "Do you know the Divine Text?"

Amun replied respectfully, "In my capacity, I should not know the Divine Script, and no one will teach me." ”

Gabriel stopped asking, and Mary diverted the subject: "Gabriel, can you go outside the door for a while, I have something I want to ask Amon alone." ”

Gabriel was stunned, but without saying a word, he immediately obeyed the order and went out, and Saber himself guarded the door. It seemed a little inappropriate to leave a grown man alone in a hall with the Holy Maiden, but Gabriel knew that there would be no problem, and she trusted Mary even more than herself.

What if Amon was an assassin? There was no need to worry, not to mention that Amun was now weak and barely able to walk, even if a great magician suddenly attacked, Maria could resist it with the staff of the Holy Maiden and other magical artifacts in her hand.

When only Mary and Amun were left in the hall, they were both silent, and for a moment they did not know what to say. The question just now did not mention the contents of the secret letter, Amon did not ask what was written on it, and Mary did not ask Amon if he had read it, and they all deliberately avoided the subject.

After a long time, it was Maria who first asked, "How do you know that my name is Echo, Amon, and is it just a coincidence that I hear you call me like this by the Ronnie?"

How do you answer, do you want to tell Maria that a great magician used information magic to record the handwriting she had written?Amon finally lowered his head and stopped looking directly into her eyes, and replied slowly, "Your Excellency, you once wrote this name on a wall in Duk Town. Everything that happens in this world, there will always be traces, whether people know it or not, it has happened, please forgive me for calling you that. ”

Mary was not angry, but also looked down at her finger and said, "Amun, you can no longer call me that, I don't use this name anymore." ”

Amon raised his head again and said, "Yes, Holy Maiden, I will not call you that again, but is it also a blasphemy for me to call you by this name in my heart?" ”

Mary was stunned, and did not dare to look up into his eyes, and replied in a low voice: "When we look up to the gods, we can see the starry sky above our heads and our honest hearts, Amon, the gods will not blame you, how can I blame?"

Amon sighed silently: "Thank you for your answer, Holy Maiden, someone has said something similar to me. ”

Mary raised her eyes: "Who?"

Amon: "His name is Aesop, and he was a slave of a merchant in Monfilth, who told me in the city-state of the headland. ”

Maria twisted the fingers of her two hands together and sighed softly, "The nobility of the soul does not differ because of identity. ...... Amon, if you want to call me Akko, you can call me that today, but out of this door, remember what I just said. ”

Then the two of them were silent again, as if they didn't know what to say, and after a while, Amon finally asked, "Aiko, are you doing well?"

Mary asked rhetorically, "Amon, why do you ask this when you know that I am already the patron saint of the Temple of Isis?"

Amon lowered his eyes and looked at his toes, and replied weakly, "Yes, I know that you are already a saint. But I also know that the high priest around you, who is supposed to be loyal and upright, is not what people think, and I think you also have your difficulties, so I want to ask you if you are having a good time?"

Mary smiled, as if it were the innocent smile of the girl: "As I said earlier, when I look up to the gods, I see the starry sky in the sky and the honest heart. I am the patron saint of the goddess Isis, and what I am guarding is the holy faith, and the fact that there is sin and darkness in the world is my stronger reason. Under the protection of the inner light, I have a good life, it should not be described as unhappy, this is my honor and honor!"

Aiko didn't hide anything from Amon, his special ability to feel the true emotions in her heart, and at this moment, Amon fully understood her words. He looked at her, and already thought that sooner or later this holy lady would become a great magician, and that the "fusion of faith" was a difficult test for others, but in her state of mind, it was just an inevitable process.

Amon already knew that Ai Ko had a sixth-level divine art achievement, and it had only been a little more than two years since she started cultivating divine arts. The speed at which Amon advanced was already quite amazing, but so far he only had the fifth-level achievement of the power of one body and two sides, although this power was more difficult to cultivate, but he started much earlier than Maria, and the old madman had laid various foundations for him several years ago.

If Mary did not have superhuman talents, she would not have passed the selection of the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Isis, and when she became a Holy Maiden, she would have all the conditions more convenient than Amun, she could read any books she wanted, and she could use any utensils she wanted, and she also had the Holy Maiden's Staff, and the trial of any divine art was extremely smooth.
