079, Isis's blessing
Behind this message, is the cultivation content of various high-level divine arts, which is slightly different from the previous teaching of intermediate and low-level divine arts, the old madman this time did not introduce the cultivation and application skills of all high-level divine arts in great detail, first made a comprehensive introduction, so that Amon can understand the cultivation of various divine arts, and then focused on the detailed explanation of the space divine arts, information divine arts, elemental divine arts and other areas that the old madman himself is best at.
The time and energy consumed to cultivate high-level divine arts is huge, and even a great divine magician can hardly take care of it all. Nietzsche is an eighth-level divine magician, and his own divine achievements have not reached the peak, but he is definitely a top great divine magician, and he has studied almost all kinds of divine arts and the cultivation content related to divine arts.
With Amon's current "convenient conditions", he can already consult various high-level magic classics on his own, which is probably something that the old madman could not have imagined in advance. However, the old madman's message in the Pupil of the Earth was still extremely valuable, and he gave a detailed explanation in the most concise way, not to mention what he was good at, even if he did not personally cultivate to a very high level of divine art, he also quoted and sorted out the most appropriate essence of the cultivation experience of other great magicians and taught it to Amon.
If Amon was left to explore, research, and confirm on his own, I don't know how many years and painstaking efforts it would take. The old madman naturally did this because he wanted to unlock the secrets of the gods, and although he did not fulfill his wish in the end, Amon benefited greatly from receiving this inheritance.
After reading this message, Amon immediately had a plan to cultivate high-level divine arts--with the teaching of the old madman as the core, and the various classics of the Temple of Isis as the auxiliary. However, the old madman himself is not good at physical arts, and the cultivation method of one body and two sides left by Bell has been confirmed to the end, and if he continues to explore, everything can only be relied on by Amon himself.
...... Although he was in the temple of Isis, Amun rarely saw Mary, except for public ceremonies and other occasions, when the Holy Maiden was in the center of the light of all respects, and Amun could only stand in his own position and look from afar. In normal times, Amon did not have the opportunity to meet Maria alone, and the temple of Isis was as large as a small city-state, and the high saint had little chance of dealing directly with a warrior on duty at the archives.
The Holy Maiden would never come to the archives to borrow materials, she would take any book she wanted to see, and someone would bring it to her. Theoretically, she didn't have to come to the archives in person as Gabriel, but she came several times, and each time it happened to be the archives that Amon was on duty for, claiming to be collecting the secret documents for the Holy Maiden, and because the documents were very important, she would come in person.
Amon had a feeling that Maria was asking Gabriel to see how he was doing, and this feeling might just be wishful thinking on his part, because the documents Gabriel came to get were the most precious, and even Amon was not qualified to see them, and they were usually locked in boxes protected by a magic array, and the keys were in the hands of the full-time senior priest in charge of the archives, and they could only be opened in the presence of the warriors on duty.
Gabriel's status was higher than that of the full-time priest in charge of the archives, so he would sometimes come directly with the key and open the chest in the presence of Amun. The last time the great warrior came to return the literature, he had a brief chat with Amon and asked him how he was recovering from his injuries, and Amon answered Gabriel's question truthfully when he was in that state of slow growth in strength.
Gabriel reacted a little surprised, and only said that he would find an opportunity for Amon to talk about physical cultivation. Of course, it is impossible to wait for the guidance of such a great warrior, Amon thanked him repeatedly, and then asked the Holy Maiden what kind of literature he wanted to read? Gabriel replied that this document was very important for breaking through the seventh-level achievement and advancing to the rank of Great Divine Sorcerer.
The test of becoming a seventh-level sorcerer is the "fusion of faiths". Amon has just passed the test of "breakthrough to the limit" in physical arts, and the power of one body and two sides has been cultivated to the sixth level, according to the context of Bell's last words, the next test he will face is likely to be the "fusion of faith" in divine arts. As for whether this is the case, it needs to be verified in person to be clear.
A document that is very important for the promotion of the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Isis to the Great Priest, of course, makes Amon very curious. This time, Gabriel came and went in a hurry, and after returning the document, he handed the key to the chest to Amun, and asked him to return the key to the priest, so Amon had the opportunity to look through this precious document.
This document was written by the holy woman of the temple of Isis two hundred years ago, and to Amun's surprise, this document does not say anything about the cultivation of divine arts, nor does it mention the test of divine advancement. The whole text is a hymn, not only the words are beautiful, but the kind of pious and truthful description that even Amun was deeply shocked when he read it.
Even if one does not believe in the existence of the goddess Isis, one cannot but admire the spirit of faith of this holy woman, which is real and powerful - this is how Amun felt. However, Amun was still thinking about what kind of mystery such a hymn described in the "union of faiths" and what kind of help and inspiration Mary would receive from it.
Gabriel said that he had the opportunity to come to Amon to talk about physical cultivation, but more than a month passed, and until Amon was sure that he had the sixth-level achievement of the power of one body and two sides, he did not see Gabriel again. Just a few days after Amon read the old madman's message, the annual "Goddess Blessing Ceremony" began, one of the most important festivals in the city of Meffil, where Amon finally understood what Gabriel was up to during this time.
Of course, the goddess Isis will not appear at this ceremony in person, and the person who represents the blessing of the goddess is the holy woman, and Mengfei has not held this grand event for thirty-three years, but because there is no holy woman. This ceremony was not performed two years before Mary came to the temple of Isis, and it is said that the saint was growing up under the care of the goddess.
The most important thing about this festival is that after the sacrifice, the Holy Maiden blesses all the people in the square in front of the temple.
The square in front of the temple of Isis was so large that it could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, and almost all the inhabitants of the city came, even farmers and herdsmen from outside the city, as well as the people of other city-states who had heard the news. It was very difficult to maintain order with so many people without crowding and stampedes, and even Amon was sent to the square to take duty. Standing between a group of people with a shuttle gun in hand.
When the blessing ceremony began, Mary wore a golden crown and held a scepter on her head, and ascended to the high platform that had been erected in front of the temple, and the gods lined up a large array of divine magic. When the bell rang, the people in the square knelt down towards the high platform, only to see Mary with a solemn expression, silently chanting something in her mouth, slowly raising the staff of the Holy Maiden, the tears of the gods emitted a golden light, this light was very faint at first, but the scope of irradiation was extremely wide, and the divine array laid by the gods and magicians under the high platform converged in mid-air, turning into a golden beam of light to shoot into the sky. The beams grew brighter and brighter, gradually plating the entire canopy into gold. The golden sky was a rare spectacle on earth, and it made the people kneeling in the square deeply awe.
When the canopy turned golden, the beam disappeared. It looked like the staff of the Holy Maiden was held high, and the sky was gilded with a layer of golden light. The bell of the temple rang unhurriedly and melodiously, echoing loudly in the square. With the sound of the bell, there was a milky white light in the golden light of the sky slowly drifting down, like a light veil like a milk waterfall and like a hazy moonlight.
This is the "Blessing of Isis", which Mary used to heal Amun's wounds, and at this time it was performed on hundreds of thousands of people. The high-level effect of this magic can not only heal injuries and diseases, but also eliminate pain, wash away fatigue, restore strength, and give people confidence, strength, and courage. This blessing ceremony is an important reason for the worship and dedication of the Egyptian people to the goddess Isis, and it is also the symbol of the temple of Isis.
Although there were nearly a hundred priests holding magic staffs to form a great array of divine magic to help, but to perform this divine magic on hundreds of thousands of people, and at the same time make everyone present feel its effect, Mary on the high platform must be at least a great magician. She has finally succeeded in advancing and resuming the most important ritual of the Temple of Isis! From this moment on, she is the true Holy Maiden of the Temple of Isis, and her position is unshakable.
Amon also bowed down in the crowd, and no one knew better than him what a gentle and gentle soothing blessing Isis's blessing was, and he had a familiar feeling, and the feeling that came from his heart when he knelt down was also a serene one. The effect of this kind of large-scale divine magic is obviously not as good as the healing of Amon alone when Maria was a sixth-level magician, but everyone in the square felt it.
Everyone bowed to the ground reverently and intently, hundreds of thousands of people were silent, and few people would notice what was going on around them. At this moment, Amon suddenly became alert, unexpectedly bounced off the ground, and threw the shuttle gun in his hand towards the left front.
In terms of pure strength, Amon at this time was almost comparable to a great warrior, and the shuttle spear flew out with a sharp and subtle tremor and scream, and there was a circle of silver light in the air, like the ripples of a fish stirring up in the water. The pike spear met a black crossbow arrow in the air, five feet long and the thickness of a wine glass, and suddenly shot from the crowd towards the holy woman on the high platform.
The dull-looking crossbow bolts collided with the pike in the air, making a roar of waves crashing against the reef, and the pike gun, which could pierce even a brick wall, was bounced away. What's even more incredible is that the crossbow bolt did not change direction, but only paused in the air, and then seemed to suddenly gain new power and continued to shoot towards Maria.
The people knelt on their knees, not seeing this scene at all, and the sound of crossbow arrows and pike guns in the air rang at the same time as the bell in the temple, and people would never have dreamed that there would be assassins in such a sacred and solemn ceremony!
