Amon was weeping for the old madman, weeping for his father, and weeping for Duketown, and he already knew the news of the disaster, which was confirmed in the surviving information of the Pupil of the Earth. Nietzsche died, his father died, Mayor Dasty died, and no one survived the flood!

When he heard the sound of rolling thunder and saw the clouds hanging low in the east, Amon knew that it was raining there. In his short fourteen years of life, he has never seen a summer rain in Duketown, nor has he ever seen so many days of heavy rain in a row. As the thunder grew louder and denser, and the clouds rolled thicker and thicker, Amon realized what was coming.

It was too late for him to return to Duk Town to do anything, for it was raining in the lower parts of the plateau, flash floods overflowing the valleys, and torrents were rushing into dangerous whirlpools, and there were no roads for a long time, no wonder the old madman would let him go higher.

Amon stood on a high slope and looked into the distance, and could see nothing but thick clouds and raging lightning in the lower places, which was the direction of Duk Town, and his eyes were always filled with tears. The old madman had said that the next message in the Pupil of the Earth would appear after the catastrophe, but Amon had not been able to "read it".

Two days after the thunder sounded, Amon vaguely heard a particularly shocking thunderclap, and his heart seemed to be inexplicably tightened, and he suddenly sensed that the pupil of the earth in his arms seemed to be calling him. He immediately returned to the village and entered the quietest cave, ordered everyone not to disturb him, and then took out the pupil of the earth. Using the power of meditation to try to stir the message again, he heard and saw the message of the old madman.

The old madman's hair and beard were still messy, as if he were standing in front of his eyes and talking—

"Child, when you see the contents of this information magic, I have just said goodbye to this life. You heard me right, I'm dead, and your father is gone. I died of the wrath of the gods, because I was going to fly into the sky to see the true face of the gods, and deliver the strongest blow of my life. I've wanted to unlock the secrets of the gods all my life, but I've never seen them, so naturally I won't give up this last chance.

You don't have to ask me why, I can tell you plainly, I'm tired of being alive for a long time! You can also think that I'm really crazy, I'm one hundred and fifty years old this year, and the magic has made me very powerful, as if full of power, but these things don't mean much to me anymore. I know you have a doubt in your mind, and I can explain it to you now.

Do you want to ask me why I don't wait for you to unlock the secrets of the gods, and maybe even make me a god myself?

You awakened the power of two sides of one body, passed the ** test of two sides of one body, and became a first-level magician and a samurai, and then passed the test of the purity of the body, and became a second-level magician and samurai. I have seen these things with my own eyes, but you don't know it, I myself can't repeat this path, maybe you think it's incredible.

I haven't exercised my physical skills for many years, my life expectancy is far beyond ordinary people, and I still look strong, but the strength in my blood has gradually exhausted. Over the past 100 years, I have suffered countless injuries and unimaginable illnesses, and if I start again on this path, I will not even be able to pass the test of physical purity. Don't you think it's ridiculous, an eighth-level great magician, even inferior to you!

If you take the wrong path from the beginning, the farther you go and the higher you achieve, the harder it may be to turn back. So that's what I'm telling you, and that's why I'm asking you to find out what Bell is, and as far as I know, Bell may have found all the right paths before becoming a High Rank Magician and High Rank Samurai. As for what he hasn't proven yet, it's up to you.

You may ask me how I prophesied this catastrophe, but let it be an eternal secret, I have told you everything, and this is the ultimate reservation. As for Duk Town, its demise may be deserved, and the people are to blame, and I am one of them, and my death is the price to be paid for everyone. ”

At this point, Amon also received a message, similar to the one that Goret had seen in the temple but in more detail, about the series of tragedies that happened in Duk Town some time ago, including the origin of these tragedies. Amon couldn't help but shout in his heart: "Old madman, you know that disaster will come, why don't you save everyone? My father is also dead, he is innocent!"

The old madman seemed to have expected Amon to have such a question, and left a message laughing: "Amon, do you want to ask me why I didn't save your father, why didn't I save everyone?...... Child, I have saved you and shown you a path to becoming a god, and you will not be grateful to me but will resent me?...... I've been through many of these questions in my life, and I think the gods are even more so!"

Amun, who asked this, was speechless for a moment, and then he cried like a child, no, he should be said to be a child.

The old madman and his father ended their crazy and drunken lives respectively, and buried the whole Duke Town, how could Amon not be sad? At a young age, he had to face the suffering of life and death, and the destruction of Duke Town meant that he no longer had his hometown and relatives, and Amon had a feeling of being abandoned by the whole world.

Amon was not God, he did not see Nietzsche rushing into the sky, and he did not know how the flood happened. There were some things that the old madman did not understand, such as why he claimed to have died in the wrath of the gods, why did he rush into the sky to strike the strongest blow at the gods, and which gods did he face?

Perhaps for Amun, explanations are useless, he has not yet reached the point where he can understand it all. The ignorant boy had no time to figure it all out in his grief, and Amon was surrounded by great grief, and could no longer concentrate on his meditative state, and the process of reading the divine information was interrupted.

When he had cried enough and was tired of crying, he wiped his tears, remembering that the message left by the old madman didn't seem to have finished reading just now, so he tried his best to collect his mind and reactivate the pupil of the earth, but there was a little accident.

The old madman was not an all-knowing and all-powerful god, and he did not expect that when the disaster came, Amon had already passed the test of "firmness of faith" and became a third-level magician. Amon interrupted halfway through the reading of the previous message, and then using the pupil of the earth naturally triggered the next magic message, so the old madman's previous message disappeared, and he didn't know how many words Amon hadn't heard.

What Amon read next was a variety of mid-level magic secrets, not all of them, but the parts that could be learned by the third-level achievements. When he saw these contents, Amon had to stop thinking about anything for a while, and concentrate on receiving the information, because it would only appear once and then disappear. Only by passing the test of "firmness of faith" and being able to enter a state of concentration where the soul is stable and not disturbed by distracting thoughts can one remember so many complex and profound contents at once.

The Divine Techniques that Level 3 Divine Magicians are good at are different, and the ability to use various divine techniques also varies considerably, but the achievement standards achieved by Basic Meditation are the same.

At the end of this message, the old madman left another message-

"Kid, when you read this, you already have a third-level achievement, I don't know if you've found Bell's whereabouts, and the rest is on your own. You already have nothing to worry about, and the entire Tianshu Continent is waiting for you to break through.

I have given you my token, which is the sign with the emblem on it. I haven't told you yet, but I also gave it to Bell, and it was in that sign that Bell sealed the message for Schrödinger to bring to me, and it was once Bell's token.

I have traveled around the continent for 100 years, and many of them have received my favors and vowed to repay me or my descendants. Bell was once the patriarch of the Divine Council of the Eju Empire, and had instructed many nobles and priests in their spiritual cultivation, and some people had sworn to thank and repay him.

When you encounter hardships in your travels on the mainland, you may be able to turn to them for help, and this is my last gift to you. But after so many years, it is difficult to say whether the oath of that year is still remembered and whether it will really be kept. You have to be careful to protect yourself, the identity of a little magician is dangerous in the Tianshu Continent, and the test of dealing with people may be more difficult than the test of divine magic.

At the end of this message, a series of names or family introductions appear, the first of whom is the chief priest of the temple of Syria, Gore. The old madman specially told Amon that if he became a great magician in the future, he must go to Gore. An introduction to the Medanzo family also appears in the message, and the background of that year is explained. The old madman didn't know that Amon had already met Medanzo and had taught him magic tricks.

......

At dusk, Amon came out of the cave, his eyes were still red and slightly swollen, and his expression was deeply tired.

Amun, who has been silent for the past few days, wept loudly in the cave today, and the cavemen felt a little frightened and inexplicably frightened and uneasy, and some even speculated -- Is the heavy rain under the mountain the tears of the spirits? Seeing Amon come out of the cave in good shape, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

To Link's surprise, Amon offered to ask him for wine for the first time. Link immediately went to fetch the wine, and carried it to the large grass hut where Amon lived in the fine brass bottle that Amon had given him.

Amon also doesn't know why he wants to drink, perhaps because he misses his alcoholic father. However, he didn't want to drink any more that night without a few sips, and sat there in contemplation with the bottle in hand. The old madman said that the entire Tianshu Continent was waiting for him to explore, but Amon felt that he was homeless and had nowhere to go, and the future was a chaotic place, and there was only one path in front of him.

If he doesn't want to be a "false god" forever in this troglodyte savage tribe, then the only way to become a magician and unlock the secrets of the gods is to follow the old madman's wishes, even if he can't find Bell's whereabouts, he can repeat what Bell did back then. What do people have to do in the world, Amon can't think of any other choice at this time.

He got up and lamented, "Old madman, you knew what was going to happen, did you arrange all this? You did it so hard, and I can't hate you!"

Since he didn't want to drink anymore, Amon never wasted anything, which was already an unconscious habit, and he put most of the remaining bottles of wine into Schrödinger's grass nest. Schrödinger had been squatting in the grass nest and watching him just now, when he saw Amon take the wine, he turned over and pressed the bone and dozed off, as if he was not interested in the wine of this troglodyte savage tribe.

Since this time, Amon has been serving this cat deliciously and well, but before he knew it, Schrödinger became thinner and thinner, his body became slender and fit, and his coat color was also smooth and beautiful, and he was no longer the fat and dirty lazy cat in Duk Town. The changes in it were gradual and unnoticeable, but Amon looked at Schrödinger at the moment and suddenly realized that the cat had changed too much.

It's not just a cat that has changed, the entire town of Duk has been wiped out by the flood, and Amon is no longer the boy he was a few months ago!

Schrödinger had been following Amon and staring at him today, was he afraid that if something would happen to him, would he care about him? In any case, this cat was already Amun's only young companion in Duketown, and would continue to accompany him on his way. I don't know where the emotions came from, Amon reached out and hugged Schrödinger into his arms, stroked its back and said softly: "Duke Town is gone, everyone is gone, and now only you and I are left." ”

Schrödinger was startled by Amon's sudden movements, it seemed to be very reluctant to be held and caressed by Amon like this, its sharp claws stretched out from the flesh pads at the tips of its toes, and it raised its claws to grab Amon's arm, but when it heard his words, it didn't really scratch it, but it just twisted around and looked very unhappy.

Seeing that the cat was uncomfortable being held by himself, Amon sighed and put it down again, and then sat down in the house and began to practice divine meditation. Only by allowing his body and mind to be in a state of stability and undisturbed can he temporarily forget the sorrows of the world.

Amon was already able to cultivate some mid-level divine arts, and in addition to the elemental divine arts, he had always been most interested in the spatial divine arts and information divine techniques, which were all related to the special divine stones left by the old madman. But a third-level magician can't cultivate these two divine arts, so he is practicing the detection divine technique tonight.

The basis of these two divine techniques is the detection divine art, especially the information divine art, which itself is a branch of the detection divine art cultivated to a high level. Amon had already understood the detection of divine techniques before, and it was easy to start with the most basic "puppet eye induction" cultivation.

You don't have to look or hear, everything around you in the dark is so clear. However, as if disturbed by something, Amon suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, interrupting the magic he had just mastered. The "Golem Eye Sense" is much clearer than what is normally seen and heard, which is common sense for any magician.

But Amon was surprised to find that there were two things "missing" in the house, Schrödinger in the grass nest and the strange bone, which did not exist in his puppet eye sense!
