041, the gambling contract of the gods

Yin Nanna's body was soft and full of seductive bullet surnames, leaning on Amengjiao and said, "With such a strong and handsome hunter as you, of course I won't be afraid...... But why should you forgive them, they obviously want to kill you, they do not deserve mercy, and leaving the enemy may bring danger to themselves. ”

Amon thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not interested and don't think it's worth it, I've already given a punishment, I just don't want to kill." They are not my enemies, they are my enemies, and I don't care if I dare to let them go. ...... An elder once told me that if you choose to forgive, you need to understand and be able to bear the consequences, and know whether doing so is settling the grudge or causing more harm to yourself or others. ”

Yin Nanna glanced at him, her eyes in the moonlight seemed to be asking something, and she still smiled and said, "Your elder is really interesting, and you are even more interesting, the young and handsome hunter speaks, but it is very much like the tone of a god." ”

Ammon himself didn't think he knew what the tone of the gods was saying. In the beautiful scenery, she continued to stroll, and saw Yin Nanna's expression as if nothing had happened just now, as if she was intoxicated by Amon's arms.

Walking on the road, Amon did not speak for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing that he was silent, Yin Nanna asked in a weak tone, "Amon, are you angry with me for not speaking? ”

Amon shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, I didn't speak because the night was beautiful, and I didn't want to disturb this peaceful enjoyment." It's not your fault that these things are these things, so why should I be angry with you?...... I have been punished in front of the whole town, and I have been condemned by the kingdom for having my head cut off. But I know in my heart that I haven't done anything wrong, and since I've had such an experience, why should I blame you today?"

Yin Nanna covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Amon, it turns out that you have so many legendary stories, I adore you so much, you are my hero!"

No matter how long the road was, there was a time when I was finished, and I finally came to the grassy slope where I met Yin Nanna. Amon looked around and asked curiously, "Where are your flocks and sheepfolds?" ”

Yin Nanna untied the whip rope that led the sheep, handed it to Amun, and said, "This is given to you by the shepherd, you keep it, I live nearby, you don't have to send it, my master will be unhappy to see you." ...... Thank you, handsome hunter, I won't forget you, would love to see you again...... Come home with me, lost little lamb. ”

She lifted her skirt and ran away very briskly in the moonlight, skirting a grassy slope and disappearing, while the little lamb was not led by a rope, but jumped and ran with Yin Nanna's footsteps, very affectionate and cheerful. Seeing this scene, Amon was stunned - the sheep would follow Yin Nanna by himself, it seemed that it was really the one she lost!

...... Yin Nanna ran to a distance that Amon couldn't see or detect, and the sheep that followed behind suddenly disappeared, and her body became like a light smoke and flew into the distance. At the end of the grassy slope was a hill, and on the top of a small hill stood a burly old man, whose flying figure stopped not far in front of him.

The two men seemed to have made an appointment to meet here, and if Amon saw the old man, he would have been surprised to find that he was the shepherd from outside Sumerian town.

Yin Nanna smiled after standing still: "Enriel, you have lost, and the young hunter has fulfilled all your conditions! He has not been taken captive by my beauty, he has not eaten up the bread in my hand because of the delicacy of the world, nor has he demanded more than he needs because of greed, nor has he delayed what he has done because of laziness, he has not hurt others because of unwarranted anger, and he has not been jealous of others for having better things than himself...... out of thin air. ”

At this point, the shepherd interrupted her in a slightly mocking tone: "Yes, this dress he bought you is more expensive and beautiful than the one he bought for himself." It's just that it's funny that you're dressed like this!"

Yin Nanna ignored the shepherd's ridicule, and continued to herself: "He has not yet shown the ridiculous superiority of mortals because of his unwarranted arrogance in possession of power and wealth. ”

The shepherd nodded, and there was no disappointment in his expression: "You won, you can freely enter and leave my divine domain in the future, and also redeem the lost Duke Town, but what's the point of all this?"

Yin Nanna smiled: "Maybe it makes sense, maybe it doesn't make sense, but I have to try, the great god Enriel, you will also lose to me." ”

The shepherd sneered: "In the long years, one day you will find such a person, I am just a little curious how you can find it so quickly?...... The lad bought a lamb for two silver coins, and did not make an offer to me. ”

Yin Nanna laughed, this laughter was as light as a silver bell in the night: "The reason is very simple, he is a child who grew up in the town of Duke, and I am afraid that he will laugh at you for selling it too cheaply! ...... I have lost my flock, but I have found a lost lamb. ”

Enriel's face changed slightly: "No wonder he is only a fifth-level magician, but he has that kind of strength, just to defeat those two people, it is indeed the miner skill of Duke Town." There are still miners from Duk Town alive!, and you have found them, and they have met my conditions?"

Yin Nanna smiled even more happily: "Yes, just before you unleashed that angry flood, there was a child in Duk Town who was banished, and it is said that he secretly sacrificed the Tears of the Gods to Isis, but it was not his fault! In the future, the people of Duke Town will return to that land, and it will still be my divine domain. ”

Shepherd: "Mu Yun, why are you smiling so happily? Everything is still full of unknown hardships"

It is no wonder that Amon would have been surprised if he had heard that the shepherd had called the shepherd "the great god Enriel", and the shepherd had called the herdsman "Mu Yun".

Yin Nanna replied: "I am happy because the great god Enriel also has miscalculations! Don't forget our bet, there is such a man, as long as he is not deceived by my beauty and has not eaten up the bread in my hand, to come to you, to redeem what I have lost, and not to turn the redemption into robbery or to give up my promise, even if I win the bet." ...... If he meets all the other conditions, you can't hurt the people of Duk Town without permission. ”

Enriel showed a sneering expression again: "That person is just a young fifth-level magician, wandering around this treacherous continent, he should ask for more blessings." As for what will happen in the vicinity of Duketown, even you can't predict it. ”

Yin Nanna: "You don't have to care about what will happen to this magician, I've already won the bet anyway." Don't forget that in addition to Amun, there are descendants alive in Duk Town, and you can't stop them from returning to their ancestral lands. ”

Enriel nodded indifferently and said, "I won't stop it, but you can't directly intervene to help." ...... That magician has already won the bet for you, aren't you going to let him go?"

Yin Nanna smiled again: "He is very handsome and funny, I am very interested in him." ”

Enriel sighed: "Another poor man has fallen into your hands, and I mourn in advance for his impending bleak life!"

Yin Nanna's laughter paused, and then showed an angry face: "Enriel, you care about too many idle things!"

Enriel turned a blind eye to her anger and said indifferently: "What man who has won your favor has ever had a good end? It's just that don't forget, when you leave my divine domain this time, you can't use divine power, and the Youngdi River is guarded by Humbaba, how do you want to cross it?"

Yin Nanna snorted coldly with anger on her face: "If Hong Baba listens to your orders to stop it, I can also use divine power!"

Enriel shook his head: "Humbaba will not stop you, he still wants to save a few more of his nine heads, but there are descendants of his race in the Youngbottom River, the ferocious serpent lurking in the river." Hopefully, that young man named Amon won't be the most unlucky of all the men you've ever been tempted to...... Hehe, if he hadn't had some ability, he would have been unlucky just now. ”

...... Amon didn't know at the moment that Yin Nanna he met was the goddess Mu Yun, the patron saint of Duke Town, and he didn't know that Goddess Mu Yun made a bet with Enriel, and he just helped Mu Yun win the bet. What's even more interesting is that Amon is obviously only a fourth-level magician, but Enriel said that he is a fifth-level magician when he talks to Mu Yun.

After seeing Yin Nanna go away, he used his detection magic to scan the surroundings and make sure that no one was following him, and then he waited for a while before walking towards the Youngdi River, which Amun had originally planned to cross and set off towards the east.

Medanzo had told Amon that if he wanted to get to Barron, he needed to cross the Youngdi River, but not at night, because there were fierce crocodiles and even more terrible monsters. The monsters are said to be descendants of Humbaba, the guardian god of the Eudi, and that they only come out at night. No matter how good your physical strength is, you should not swim past, and you can only take the ferry at noon.

Amon didn't need a ship, his bone was an invisible ship, but after what happened in Sumertown, Amon didn't plan to use it easily. A few divine stones have caused so much trouble, if this precious holy relic is recognized, won't there be endless troubles?

The moonlight was very bright, and standing by the river, Amun's eyes could even faintly see the fields and villages on the other side, where an invisible boat crossed the river, and it was inevitable that someone would see it. If you happen to be a magician, you can know at a glance that someone is performing magic, and with the help of an extremely magical artifact, you may be in big trouble.

There may also be monster attacks at night, but it is even more inconvenient to wait until daytime, and people on both sides of the strait can see it clearly. He thought about it, and it was better to go a little further downstream, and find a ferry to take a boat over. Anyway, it's not in a hurry, it doesn't matter if you walk slowly, find a place to rest for the night first, and I'm really tired today.

Amon walked a short distance along the river's beach with shallow grass, and sat down in the hollow between two small hills, remembering that he had to make something for Schrödinger. This cat slept very heavily today, and with so many things happening along the way, it didn't even purr.

Just after untying the leather bag from his shoulder and putting it away, Amon wanted to take Schrödinger out, but he heard a wine burp, and Schrödinger jumped out lazily, stretching his limbs and shaking the hair on his body as if to relax his muscles and bones. Looking at the two bottles of wine in my pocket, Schrödinger had already opened the stopper and drank one bottle.

Amon smiled and asked, "Schrödinger, you still have a bottle of wine, is it for me to drink or for yourself to drink tomorrow?"

Schrödinger didn't pay much attention to him for a year, but Amon always joked and coaxed the cat to talk, but he didn't expect to react today, Schrödinger stretched out his paws and began to write on the dirt floor. Amon was taken aback, and quickly stood up and looked carefully in the moonlight, only to see what Schrödinger had written: "Don't look for me, I'll come back to you." Beware of the woman, don't let her see the bones, don't anger her, and don't ...... She, otherwise she'll be out of luck!"

Amon was stunned: "What do you mean?...... Don't want me to look for you, are you going somewhere?...... Who is that woman, and you want to talk about Yin Nanna?"

Schrödinger didn't answer Amun's words, he stretched out his cat's paw and quickly wiped the handwriting off the ground, then turned around and ran to the nearby hill, and disappeared into the grass with a whoosh. It was not easy to find a cat that had run away in the middle of the night, and Amon's detection magic could not sense Schrödinger, so there was nowhere to chase it.

He understands the magic of this cat, and his actions cannot be measured by common sense, since Schrödinger said that he will come back to him, it is useless for Amon to be anxious. Looking at Schrödinger's message, it was clear that he was asking him to be careful of Yin Nanna, that girl was not an ordinary shepherd slave girl, Amon had already seen it, but what was the secret of her identity?

Schrödinger reminded Amon that "you must not ...... She", the divine text in the middle is empty, and it can't be done without writing, leaving infinite room for imagination, but from the most likely judgment between young men and women, I'm afraid it's that kind of thing. And Schrödinger at the same time said, "Don't anger her", clearly telling Amon not to offend this woman yet, and then it ran away on its own, without any explanation.

Amon sat there and thought about it for a long time, but he still decided to listen to Schrödinger, he trusted this cat to get to where he is today, but he thought in his heart - will he meet Yin Nanna again?

It was useless to think about the questions that he couldn't figure out, so Amon immediately shook his head and settled down, which was a good habit of his. He used the water elemental magic to wash his hair and body, as well as the old clothes on his body, and then changed into a new set of linen clothes that he bought today, and also changed into the pair of soft-soled cloth shoes that the tailor boy had given him. It's really comfortable, and I have to thank Yin Nanna for saying that she wanted these shoes.

Put the old clothes and another new set of clothes in the leather pocket, and the bones are collected at the bottom of the leather pocket. This sacred artifact of the Temple of Isis and the rib of the god Osiris cannot be discovered with the detection of divine arts. As long as Amon didn't take it out in public, no one knew that he had this bone. In fact, Schrödinger is the same, even the most brilliant master of magic, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that Amon had a cat hidden in his leather pocket.

Meditation every night has become a habit of Amun, which not only restores physical strength and energy, but also brings peace to the heart. In this state, Amon will be accustomed to trying his divine power, not to cast a specific divine art, but the ability to communicate with the outside world contained in the spirit, which is the basis of all divine arts.

At the softest time of the moonlight at midnight, Amon's extremely peaceful state of mind seemed to feel a trace of disturbance, not any kind of distraction, but a kind of power germination. He didn't use the detection technique, but he seemed to see his heart and body, as well as the moonlight, mountains, and rivers outside his body.

This kind of "seeing" is a kind of induction, and he senses that there seems to be a power of the same origin as his "divine power" in the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers fluctuating, and the ubiquitous diffuse is almost imperceptible, but it is deep and vast and boundless. The source of the power of the sorcerer is to sense the natural laws of heaven and earth, communicate with them, and control them, and only by reaching this state can they comprehend the true mysteries of many divine arts.

According to the annotation left by Bell, this is a realm that only a fifth-level magician has!

But Amon was only a fourth-level magician, he opened his eyes suspiciously, his eyebrows locked and fell into deep thought. He didn't remember when he ushered in the test of promotion, let alone break through! The physical technique had already broken through the fourth level and also had the achievement of a fourth-level magician, and the test he would face if he continued to cultivate was the "Devil's Temptation".

Bell's commentary on this test is vague, and does not say what the devil is or what the temptations are, and the old madman's message is equally vague, saying only that it needs to go through all the things of the world. Amon wondered if he was mistaken, but since this had happened, he might as well give his mana a try.

He sat there and waved his staff, and from his own perspective, nothing changed around him. But if someone were looking at it in the distance, they would find that the moonlight shining between the two mountains suddenly seemed to disappear, leaving a shadow where Amon was. This is the spatial shielding technique, Amon not only conceals his body but also isolates the sound, theoretically only a fifth-level magician who is proficient in power control can do it, and he has successfully used it with his staff at this moment.

Amon didn't interrupt the magic because of surprise, he keenly felt a little change, and the power that permeated the heaven and earth seemed to fluctuate with it. Continuing to cast such a magic spell consumes a lot of mana over time, how can we achieve a stable state? There should be another way to use it.

He took out five divine stones one after another, and put them beside him to gradually excite them, although he sat upright, he felt like a drop of water in the ocean drifting with the waves, echoing with the natural forces of the outside world. It took him a while to find the right way, using the power inspired by the five divine stones to communicate with the power of the ubiquitous laws of nature, and finally reached a stable state of resonance.

At this time, from a distance, the shadow area in the moonlight disappeared, and there was still a hazy valley, as if everything was normal, but Amon could not be seen. Amon has created an abstract space of his own, but he does not need to continuously consume the mana of the space shielding technique, as long as the five divine stones are kept in this stable and orderly state of excitation, they can "lurk" in it for a long time.

The joy of success made Amon even more puzzled, and he had a better way to verify it, which was to take out the Pupil of the Earth and read the information left inside. Every time Amon was promoted, he would read a new message in the Pupil of the Earth, so he took out the Pupil of the Earth and activated it with mana, and sure enough, he heard the voice of the old madman again - "Hahaha, Amon, you have finally become a fifth-level magician and passed the 'Temptation of the Devil'." I don't know whether to congratulate or comfort you, you must have experienced a lot of hardships in the world. This test can be the easiest or the hardest, and everything happens without realizing it. You won't suddenly realize it until you look back, but no one can say it beforehand, because no one else can replace your own experience, and I can't ......."

Next, the old madman explained how the power that can be used will change from the low-level magic "Awakening of Power" to the mid-level magic "Control of Power". The elemental magic that Amon first learned was the use of the power of a natural law, but when he first awakened this power, he could not fully sense and control it.

The power that can be used at this stage has added a lot of ingenuity, and the old madman is not introducing specific cultivation methods of divine arts, but the principles of the use of various divine arts. Then there was another item in the message that Amon had not been exposed to before, that is, various divine magic arrays.

The Divine Array is not the cultivation achievement of the Divine Magician himself, but its effect is very ingenious, it can not only unite the forces of many people to achieve a certain special effect, but also communicate the power of nature according to a certain law. There are many magic arrays that can also assist magicians in cultivating certain special abilities, such as the old madman himself who laid down a magic array to create a cold spring.

So far, all the things that a magician can learn, the old madman has taught Amun!

These include the crafting of scrolls, staffs, and artifacts, the arrangement of the Divine Circle, and the cultivation methods and principles of all types of Divine Arts. Even a top-notch great magician can't be proficient and good at all the magic and skills, and the direction of cultivation must be emphasized.

The old madman himself could not do this, but with his hundred years of experience and the materials and classics collected in various parts of the mainland, he sorted out and compiled them into essences, and passed them all on to Amun. He not only wants to train Amon to become a great magician, but also hopes that Amon can become an encyclopedic master of magic, artifacts, and formations.
