166, Sealed Eye
Amon was in a bad mood, and he punched Prince Snake of the Eju Empire to death, which did not give him the pleasure of raising his eyebrows and showing off his might, this was just revenge and punishment, and Snake paid the price for his actions.
Even Schrödinger is gone, what else in this world can shake his heart? Can the title, title, and status of the great general of the empire be compared to that cat? That sense of loss has always been with him, since Snake deserves to die, he will be killed with one punch, even if he is facing Pharaoh Eju, Amon will do the same!
At this moment, Amon is sitting in a desolate field, where it seems to have suffered from insect plagues, many leaves have large and small insect eyes, but not far away there is a small green lake, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, the scenery is very beautiful. Amon turned a blind eye to all this, just sat there and stroked one thing in his hand.
It looked like a slender metal blank, but it was not clear what it was made of, and a transparent spar was fused in the middle, not any kind of divine stone. If you look at this spar against the light, a thin seam-like pattern will appear in the middle, just like a cat's eye, which changes between day and night, but it is not an opal in the world.
With Amon's vision, it could be seen that this was a holy artifact, and it was by no means something that could be created by ordinary refining methods. When Amon mastered the power of the Origin, it was this kind of weapon that he should use, which could be used as a staff to stimulate divine magic, or as a weapon that could be indulged by divine magic, and all kinds of magical uses.
Amon can realize that this thing has two special powers, one is "sealing" and the other is "parting". This is a relic of the cat god Best that Link gave him. When Moses and the others walked across the Red Sea, Best's figure disappeared from the clouds, and the staff in his hand seemed to melt, and flew towards Link, who became like this when Link caught it.
This is the scepter of the goddess Best, the weapon used to slay demons for hundreds of years, and she has tempered it countless times with the power of her soul. Unlike regular weapons or staffs, it can change physically and mentally. When she finally left, she left behind this thing, like the last testimony of her existence.
Why it became what it is now, and what kind of magic it has been endowed with, I'm afraid Best himself can't tell, as if it is the remains of a scepter, or as if it is a brand new artifact, which has been tempered and pure, but has not yet been formed.
After Amon killed Snake, he did not flee the Eju border, but drove north to the eastern shore of the Red Sea. He found that Moses and the others had crossed the sea safely, and Medanzo and Link were still secretly following. He appeared to call the two disciples and asked what had happened, only to learn that Schrödinger had used the power of the goddess to give him one last help, and Medanzo and Link had seen her disappear with a smile on their faces.
Amon couldn't describe his feelings, so he asked Medanzo and Link to leave as soon as possible with Moses and the others. Don't forget to bring enough water and food before you go, as you'll be crossing the desert a short distance from the border.
Medanzo asked, "God Amun, aren't you going to leave with us?"
Amon shook his head and said, "Your road is still very difficult, be careful. I have just killed the eldest son of Lacis II, Prince Snake of the Eju Empire, and I will go straight out of the border checkpoint to let everyone know my whereabouts, and Moses and the others can escape from no one's place. ”
The two disciples wanted to say something, but Amun waved his hand and closed his eyes, and they had to go. Amon sat there, stroking Schrödinger's short staff, sensing the strange thing, as if he were gently caressing her. He didn't weep silently, but tears quietly dripped down on the artifact, and the spar had a smart luster like a blink of an eye, and Amun's tears were absorbed into it without leaving a trace.
Amun has a name called Allah, which means day and night, like the change of a cat's eye. He sat from day to night, and from night to day, as if in contemplation, in a daze, in reminiscence, in meditation. When the sun appeared on the horizon, he suddenly stood up with a short staff in his hand, tears were dry, opened his eyes and turned back and shouted: "You have been sneaky for so long, if you want to do it, do it!"
With a short swing of the staff as he spoke, a strange force sealed all the aura fluctuations around him, and a hidden powerful aura was finally revealed, and a man in armor appeared on the hillside. His cheeks were red, his helmet was decorated with wings, his armor reflected colorful light, he was a small man, but his arms were much longer than the average person, he could almost touch his calf and face bones, and the weapon in his hand was like two half-volleyed pike guns.
The man was suddenly forced out by Amon in the lurking, and he was also taken aback, and opened his two long arms to hold a weapon and said: "I'm just a passerby, such a big mountain field, you can stay here, I can also pass by!"
Amon didn't talk to him, and directly opened his mouth to reveal his identity: "Worm God Kebli, who sent you? What are your intentions to follow my people? Seeing that I stayed here, he stopped and stared at me for a day and a night, don't forget, this is no longer the divine domain of the Nine Divine Systems!"
Kebri was so frightened that he took two steps back, and his eyes widened, "How do you know me? Don't call me the worm god, I am the scarab angel!" On the orders of Archangel Seth, he will spy on the movements of the group and give them guidance at the right time. ”
Amon walked over step by step with a short staff in his hand: "Guidance, don't think that I don't know what you did to threaten after you are cornered, right? ”
Kebri shook his head and said, "I'm just completing the mission, like a scout in the army." General Amon, I didn't attack you. If you sin against me, you will sin against Archangel Seth. ”
Amon walked forward step by step, Kebri stepped back step by step, Amon pointed at him with a short staff and said as he walked: "What if I don't offend Archangel Seth? ”
Kebri shook his hand and said, "Amon, don't mess around, I am the messenger of the gods." ”
Amon said with a calm face: "I didn't mess around, I just want to tell you not to follow my people anymore, don't send down insect plagues again! No matter who you are or what your name is, if you don't leave, please never leave." ”
Kebri's face was cloudy, and he had retreated to the top of the hill, and he shouted: "You are only a mortal, not an opponent of angels—you are not my opponent!"
Amon's face did not change at all, he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations, and said lightly: "Kebri, I know that you have a lot of magical abilities, which are related to your origin, and some of them can't even be done by real gods." But I also know your weaknesses, your combat power is not strong, and if someone breaks the spell, you will become very vulnerable......"
Amon had already reached the top of the mountain step by step, and raised his short staff unhurriedly. Below was a steep slope, and Kebrie stepped backwards in the air: "Don't come, if you dare to do it, I will dare to ......" Before the words fell, he rolled on the spot and turned into a cloud of smoke, and there seemed to be countless small dots in the smoke, flying away in all directions.
Amon shouted, "When it comes to escaping, you're quite clever!" and then stuck his staff at his waist like a sword, and turned to walk eastward with his hands behind his back.
Amun knew Kebri, the insect god of Eju, and had seen it in Schrödinger's soul imprint. This insect god has very little courage, but he is changeable and good at lurking, and he is better at driving all kinds of insects. Moses and the others had already left the Nine Divine Domains, but Seth still sent such a divine envoy to follow behind, but Amon noticed it in time.
...... There was a god on the clouds who scolded dissatisfiedly: "Useless things, I haven't grown after so many years of cultivation!"
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from a distant place: "Seth, is this what you do?
The person who can only hear the voice but cannot see the speaker should be far away. Seth said in the direction where the voice came from: "Mu Yun, you are really infatuated, so nervous that little lover! Don't worry, out of my divine domain, I will not embarrass him again, everyone knows who you are." ”
Goddess Mu Yun let out a string of coquettish smiles: "This place is not the Nine Divine Domain, if you really want to do it, you will violate the agreement of the gods, send such a sneaky messenger out, and say that you don't want to be embarrassed? Everyone is a god, don't play this trick!"
Seth said with a straight face: "Don't call me a god, I'm the archangel Seth!"
Goddess Mu Yun stopped laughing: "It's just another name, you still have the realm of transcending immortality, if this is really your belief, I don't mind being called a false god by you." I'm just here to warn you not to meddle in the affairs of the Duk Plains, it has nothing to do with you!"
Seth smiled: "Your flock has finally broken through the obstacles, you think it is your flock, but don't rejoice too soon, I don't think those people can really believe in you." ”
If she could see this goddess appear, Mu Yun's face must not be good-looking at the moment, and she replied in a deep voice: "This is my agreement with Enriel, and it is also my promise to Amun. As for how they choose to face it, if they turn their backs on the Patron Oracle like the people of Duc Town, I can't protect them. After all this suffering, the lost flock should understand the choice of fate. ...... I'm just warning you not to hit Amun's idea. ”
Seth was still laughing: "Do you still need others to deal with Amon? It's enough to have you! Have you forgotten your magical spell, who has ever had a good end between the man who fell in love with you and the man you love? Enqidu has just proved this, how can Amon escape? Take a good look at Amon, he is still a child, how much suffering he has endured over the years! The gods are waiting to witness, and the spell that haunts you once again exerts its incredible power. ”
Seeing the clouds rolling, the goddess Mu Yun, who was holding the ivy, appeared and said angrily: "Seth, what do you want? Do you still want to do it directly, for the gods who have transcended immortality, the series of consequences caused are unpredictable!"
Seth looked at the goddess Mu Yun, shook his head slightly, his hands closed and the light and shadow flickered in the sky, he turned into a distorted light and disappeared, but the voice still came: "Mu Yun, you have hurt too many men, so many that you even forgot about yourself." Don't forget that there is also a wandering Lion King in the Nine Gods, who is not as timid as Kebrie. Amon has a devastating storm at hand, and no one wants to force him, but the Lion King's temper may not be true, and your spell will soon be fulfilled once again. ”
Mu Yun shouted angrily, "You want to send the Lion King out to deal with Amon, what good will this do you!"
Seth's voice became more and more erratic: "I didn't send the Lion King out, just tell him all this and let him leave, he will naturally find your little lover to duel, let Amon pray to the goddess Mu Yun for protection! Amon killed the prince of the Eju Empire, the temple will send someone to arrest him, as the archangel of their faith, let an oracle help, this is also my responsibility." ”
...... Amon set out towards the border of Eju, he encountered mountains, mountains and waters, and crossed villages and roads without avoiding it, not caring that no one had seen him. At night, he also ate and lodging in several towns and bought a lot of things.
Rod Dick has ordered Amun to be hunted down throughout the city-state, with the city-state and its garrison guards performing checkpoints, and the An-La legion conducting searches throughout the city-state. With such a large city-state, it is impossible for thousands of people to search them all, and if Amon wants to deliberately hide, almost no one can find it.
But Amun was walking in a straight line towards the border, passing through populated places and seeing soldiers on horseback, and it was clear that they had all come out to arrest Amon, many of whom Amon still felt familiar, because they were his former men.
Strangely enough, these soldiers galloped back and forth on various roads, but they couldn't catch Amun. Some cavalrymen even saw Amon walking on the road, and deliberately shouted: "Hurryers, be careful, don't let the horses crash! Then he quickly walked away from him.
This made Amon a little depressed, and the soldiers obviously saw him on the road, but they pretended not to know him and didn't arrest him. In fact, Amon didn't want them to catch him, and he didn't want to hurt these soldiers, how could a small group of cavalry be his opponents?
An eventful mayor reported to the cavalry squad patrolling the town that a man resembling Amon had passed through the town yesterday and had stayed overnight at the inn. The mayor was immediately taken away by the soldiers, and he was questioned all day about all kinds of details, as if he were the one who was wanted. After confirming the situation, the brigade was mobilized, and the soldiers came to the vicinity of the town to search for chickens, flies, dogs, and jumps, and Amon had already walked through the mountains.
The road was peaceful, and the mountains and rivers came and retreated under their feet. Amon encountered a troop of cavalry galloping down the official road, and when he saw him from afar, he took his horse and walked slowly, and then passed cautiously by his side. The leading officer also made a special greeting: "We are on a mission, and we are on the border, and you have to get out of Eju in one night, you are in a hurry." ”
Amon nodded and said, "General right away, thank you!" He finally smiled, and even felt a little relieved in his heavy heart, Eju's trip was not in vain, and he left a lot of good memories. After resting in the mountains for the night, he continued to reach a checkpoint on the border, where dozens of soldiers were stationed, ten days after he had killed Snake.
...... The temple of Isis received an urgent order from the royal capital, and several high priests immediately reported it to the Holy Maiden, and discussed it for a long time. Then Mary sent everyone away, and called only Gabriel, who sat there silently. Gabriel had followed the saint since she was a girl, and had never seen her look so melancholy.
As the sky grew darker, and there was a twinkling starry sky outside the window, Gabriel finally asked, "Holy Maiden, is the order of the royal capital related to General Amun?"
There was no emotion in Maria's tone, and she replied softly: "Yes, not only the order of the Pharaoh, but also the secret order issued by the main temple of An-la and the imperial council of priests, and the oracle of the archangel of Seth, ordering the temple of Isis to immediately send people to hunt down Amun. ”
Gabriel's tone suppressed grief and indignation: "Why do you do this?"
Maria looked out the window, her eyes looking into the distance for some distance: "Amun's killing of Prince Snake in the midst of the army has symbolized a break with the Eju Empire, and any monarch can only decide like this." ”
Gabriel said: "I know about it, and there are more than 1,000 people present to witness it. Snake calls Amon back, Amon walks back, it is Snake who orders the attack, and is then killed by Amon with a punch. ”
Maria nodded: "If you are Amun, can you still return to Eju to stand trial?" Just like with Bell back then, the Empire decided not to pursue this matter publicly, but to directly send someone to assassinate him. ”
Gabriel frowned and asked, "Who are you going to send?"
Mary pushed a scroll of papers to the other side of the table: "The oracle has called your name, and Pharaoh has officially ordered this task to be given to you. It was Amon who you found on the banks of the Ronnie River, and he made a meritorious service to the Empire, and it is also your meritorious service. Today he breaks with the Empire, and it is also your responsibility to destroy him. These are the words of the Pharaoh's edict, the empire will send you directly!"
Gabriel lowered her head, her lips pursed tightly and did not speak, and Mary looked at her so melancholy. I don't know how long it took, Gabriel finally looked up and said, "Holy Maiden, what else do you have to tell before I go?"
Mary took out two sealed parchment scrolls: "Here are two letters, if you find Amun, give them to him first, and then draw your sword when he has read them." Another letter is for you, to open after you have fought Amun. This is what I command and what I command, and you must do it. ”
