The title of this story is "The Book of the Dead", and the beginning is not unlike today's Eju mythology. Man's life is like the rushing Ronnie River, ending in Hades, which Osiris is in charge of. When the goddess Best, the goddess of Hades, who is a cat, appears next to the corpse, the soul of the deceased will be resurrected in the underworld to Osiris to receive a verdict for the good and evil of a lifetime.

But the story also specifically mentions the origin of Best, a goddess who became a cat in the judgment of fate and atoned for the sins of the Eju by guarding the granary. As she gradually regained the power of the gods, Osiris sealed and controlled her powers, making her a waiter in Hades to attract souls in the gods.

Oh, I see! This is a story that Amon had never heard of, and it seems that the former goddess must have suffered some kind of accident and became a cat. Amon had seen the existence of the Scorpion King, and he wouldn't find it strange if the cat could also cultivate the power of the gods, this cat was controlled by Osiris, and the divine power was sealed, which was incomprehensible.

The contents of this book were not too long, but Amon read it all night, and only when the sun rose outside the window did he close the book and put it back in the copper box. Schrödinger wanted to tell him about the Aeju Nine Divine Line, and why she was trapped in the body of a cat and couldn't be freed, and if Amon wanted to save her, he had to understand the cause and effect, and this book explains it all very well.

Thinking of this, Amon couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was very sympathetic to Schrödinger's plight, and he was willing to do everything possible to help her, but now he couldn't even protect himself, and the lost power showed no signs of recovery, Amon didn't even know what to do, let alone help Schrödinger break the seal.

...... George had lived in Amun's manor for a few days, and he had read the tome, but he was confused.

The general's newly rewarded territory, of course, must be built well, and it looks like he wants to live in it for a long time. Many houses, camps for the Guards, stables, and the Shogun's own private garden were built on the estate.

The so-called garden is to expand the backyard of the manor, which is not ordinarily large, it is necessary to plant trees, dig ponds, level the martial arts field, and build a private temple according to the custom, which is generally dedicated to Horus. But Amon had his own requirements, just like his manor in the city of Monfils, where the cat god Best was enshrined in the temple, apparently to Schrödinger's pleasure.

When Amon gave this order, George happened to be on the side, and said with a smile: "I have heard people privately mention that when you held King Hatie hostage, you actually let a cat sit on the right seat and eat first, Lucille waited on the side, and you yourself stood aside to roast meat. The general's love of cats is truly unparalleled in the world, and even the temple in the manor is dedicated to the goddess Best. ”

Amon smiled and asked, "Isn't it possible, what does this violate?"

George replied, "The goddess of Bester is also the deity of Eju, and of course the general can be worshipped. ”

Amon glanced out the window, and didn't know where Schrödinger was going to play at this moment, and nodded: "Even the high priest said so, I should worship this god well." ”

George suddenly remembered something, and joked again: "The general loves that cat so much, the whole legion knows it." The tome you borrowed also mentions the goddess Best at the end, no wonder you're interested, could it be that your cat made you see it?"

Amon didn't answer, just smiled, changed the topic and lowered his voice: "High Priest, I have something I want to ask you. ”

Seeing that his expression suddenly became very serious, George also lowered his voice and said, "If you have something, just say it, if you need my personal help, just ask." ”

Amon thought about it very seriously: "You also know my current situation, although the scenery is infinite, but every move is inconvenient, and if you leave your territory to do anything, you need to report to the nearest city-state and Eju officials." But I wanted to find an opportunity to go out for a walk, and it was only natural that no one would object. ”

George smiled again: "It's not easy, in a few months, the annual blessing ceremony of Isis will be coming." You used to be a glorious warrior of the Temple of Isis, and you also made meritorious contributions at the ceremony the year before last, so it is natural to go to Mengfeisi City to participate in this ceremony, just say hello. ...... The Holy Maiden often mentions you, and you should visit her as well. ”

Amon: "I almost forgot that last year's blessing ceremony was during the war, when we were still on the front line. The next ceremony should be half a year later, and I will wait patiently. ”

George asked again, "Is there anything else I need help with?"

Amon wanted to speak and stopped: "There is nothing to trouble you, I wish you a safe journey, go back to see the Holy Maiden, please convey my greetings and gratitude!"

Amon wanted to ask George if a seventh-level magician would lose his strength when he was promoted to an eighth-level magician, and if this was a necessary test, how would he get through it? Even if he couldn't get an answer, he wanted to ask the eighth-level great magician for advice on how he could get out of the predicament? He knew very well that George was different from ordinary great magicians, he was also a magician like the old madman.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, no matter how good his personal relationship with George was, after all, the other party was also the high priest of the Temple of Isis, and it was better not to tell some secrets, even the topic of the old madman back then, the two of them deliberately avoided it. Amon has lost his strength, this is an absolute secret, even Medanzo and the others do not know.

When George took his leave, Amun, of course, could not let him be empty-handed, and gave a batch of extremely valuable gifts, and now the great general has money. George accepted his gift, but returned the gift with the Crystal Shuttle he had flown with Amon to spy on the enemy camp.

This artifact is like a translucent small saucer, with a Wind Charm Dance fused in the center, and three dark blue water cores symmetrically fused on the outside, which does not look like an inlay but a refining whole. It is not as fast as the most common wind shuttle, but it can turn the space into a hazy translucency, which is difficult to detect in the background light and shadow of the sky.

If you want to conserve mana and sneak in the sky, you can also reveal a gray or white mist, like a floating cloud. Riding this shuttle can evade the detection of divine magic, and if you keep a safe distance, even the great magician will not be able to detect it. It was with this magical artifact that George took Amon to discover King Lucill's camp.

This magic weapon must at least be indulged by a great magician, but George gave it to Amon and said meaningfully: "With my current status, I have enough wealth and power to get what I want, but something like the Crystal Shuttle is hard to find." It was created by my own hands and symbolizes the suffering that has been experienced. You must accept it, this is a memorial to our past birth and death together, and in your hands, perhaps more useful than in my hands. ”

It's a good thing, and it's a great weapon if Amon regains his strength and wants to escape from Eju quietly. Even if Amon himself didn't use it, it would be excellent to give it to his disciples, but he was not polite, and he accepted it after saying thank you.

George was gone, but John remained in Amun's manor, and he didn't think about it at all, and took Amun's guards to hunt on horseback and even go to the Ronnie River to catch crocodiles, which was quite fun. During the construction of the temple, John also volunteered to help oversee the work, transport supplies, mine stones, and assign workers, all as if he were commanding the legion to carry out the task.

The miners of Duk Town were the best craftsmen, and it was naturally impossible for the Amunsius Manor to do without these slaves, so he simply left the matter to John. John asked Moses to transfer one-third of his men to the manor to help the general repair the Temple of Best. After the general was promoted to the rank of great samurai and integrated that restless power into his body and mind, his temper was much better than before, and he no longer beat and cursed indiscriminately. But as soon as he stood there, he was invisibly murderous.

Amon asked John when he would go back, and John shook his head and said, "I don't want to go back to Mengfeisi, so I'd better be comfortable with you." Just let me stay here, there's a lot to do in your territory, I'll help you train your guards, and I want to wait for Medanzo to come back and learn martial arts. ”

Amon had to leave John in his domain, and soon after, Medanzo returned, bringing back Link with him. Before Medanzo left, Amon had explained that if Link could take a break, it would be best to come and meet, there was something to hand over to Link to do, and at the same time, he wanted to see how the disciple's cultivation of the power of two sides of the same body was.

The news brought by Link was very good, and in a short period of time, he not only led the troglodyte horde tribe to gain a firm foothold, but also gathered thousands of people to build a walled city, and the rudiments of a city-state had appeared. It is impossible for so many people to come from Link's tribe, many are cavemen from other tribes in the mountains, and many are plateau giants.

When the flood gradually receded, the isolated island where Link was located became larger and larger, a fertile soil in the middle of the swamp, and several paths to the east and north also appeared, and it was not always necessary for Yunmeng and a few other ironclad beasts to carry it outside. With the change of climate and landform in the surrounding area, many wild beasts appeared on the Duk Plain, and some tribes also came out of the mountains to hunt on the plains, knowing that there was a large village and town here, and many people took the initiative to join Link.

Coincidentally, the Assyrian Plateau was recently hit by a flood. After the climate change, there was also a lot of rain, and this time the torrential rain had nothing to do with the gods, and it went up and down the plateau for a long time, causing flash floods. It was a minor disaster, but it was a catastrophe for the highland giants who had lived there for generations, and their villages were washed away and many of their prey were missing, so they were forced to walk out of the mountains and into the plains.

The simple-minded highland giants had several conflicts with the caveman savage city at first, but they were all cleaned up by Link. Later, Link took in a lot of wandering plateau giants, gave them work, and gave them a place to live and something to eat, which was considered to save these people.

All this is thanks to Aesop, who came to Link to help a lot, he divided the work for everyone, took charge of different things, made plans, reclaimed the wilderness with the greatest efficiency under the existing conditions, built houses and walls, sent people to guard and scout the surrounding environment, organized warriors to hunt collectively, and managed thousands of people in an orderly manner.

Link didn't have anything to do, and before Medanzo could speak, he asked Medanzo to bring him to Amun, and Medanzo brought him back.

Link was the patriarch, the most capable leader of the troglodyte horde, and now quite knowledgeable, but like Amon as a teenager, he had never been anywhere else but in the mountains of the river valley and the wastelands around Duketown. As he flew through the sky, he was surprised to see everything, and he couldn't help but beg Medanzo to take him to the town to see the world.

Medanzo laughed at him several times, but still took Link into a few city-states on the way to open his eyes. The dazzling things in the city-state's shops made Link's mouth water, and he bought a bunch of messy things, all of which were packed in the space magic tools that Medanzo carried, as well as a lot of grain seeds and various new farm tools.

After several days of delay on the road, the two men returned to Amun's territory. There is another thing that makes Medanzo a little depressed, he has become a great warrior and a great magician, and he secretly thinks that this time he will definitely be able to look good in front of Link. As a result, Link broke through the seventh-level achievement and became a great warrior and a great magician, going hand in hand with Medanzo.

The two ran to the swamp to discuss privately, and when it came to fighting mana, they were evenly matched, and no one's means were weak. But it was Medanzo who had the upper hand, after all, he was a military general who fought on the battlefield, and even the first samurai in the mainland, Enqidu, had fought hard, and his actual combat skills and experience were not comparable to Link.

Link couldn't beat Medanzo and was about to admit defeat, but he suddenly whistled, and Yunmeng jumped out of nowhere. Link and the Iron Beast King Yunmeng beat Medanzo all over the swamp and won a big victory! Medanzo yelled at Link to play a trick, and Link laughed. Looking back at the starry eyes of Link along the way, Medanzo laughed at him a lot, and finally got the field back.

Seeing that Link also had a seventh-level achievement, Amon was of course very happy, and nodded with a smile: "You said at the beginning that building a brand new home on fertile soil will yield harvest every day, and you can witness new creations every day. As long as you have such a heart, life is full of positive meaning. It seems to have confirmed this state of mind!"

Amon did not rush to send Link back, but left him in the territory to work as a steward for the time being, mainly responsible for managing the daily life of Moses and other slaves, and assigning them the daily work. Amun's arrangement was also well-intentioned, because even if Moses returned to the town of Duk, they would have to integrate into the new city-state and have to live in harmony with Link's people and other residents.

Amon himself is not particularly close to the clansmen of Duke Town, he is still a high-ranking general, and he usually doesn't even have the opportunity to meet, and good people and good deeds are left to Link to do. What supplies Moses and the others needed, and what kind of labor tools and food they were provided with, were all handled by Link. Link had a very good attitude towards these people and did a lot of favors, and Moses and others were also grateful.

Link also has a task to secretly supervise the cultivation of Moses and others, although no one in Amun's territory will be nosy, but it is still necessary to pay attention to secrecy, in case there is any accident if the news is accidentally leaked. Link now has a seventh-level achievement, and he secretly monitors and protects himself from being detected by Moses and the others.

Amon had thought about it enough, but one day when Moses was leading twelve of his people to practice magic in the valley, he was still discovered, and it all started with John.

...... John was overjoyed to see that Medanzo was back, he had just been promoted to the rank of Great Samurai, but there was no opponent around him to compete with him, so it was difficult to find General Amon to compete. As soon as Medanzo arrived, he was dragged out by John to drink, and then he had to compete in martial arts in the hunting grounds. As a result, Medanzo won three games and three wins for three consecutive days, beating John to the point that he had no temper at all.

John was very puzzled, they were all seventh-level great warriors, and John was able to operate a restless explosive force, which was much stronger than ordinary great warriors in this state, but he still couldn't deal with Medanzo. Medanzo will use all kinds of magic to assist in battle, and the use is very concealed, almost no trace can be seen, and there are endless tricks and methods.

John was very unwilling to admit defeat, and he was defeated and fought repeatedly, and continued to "ask for advice" from Medanzo while practicing diligently. Medanzo was bad and quietly told John that Link was also a great warrior, and like him, he had received the same teaching and guidance from Amun, so he could find Link to compete.

If Medanzo didn't say it, John really wouldn't have seen it, because Link was now a butler, and he had never seen him touch a weapon all day long. As a result, John went to Link with a weapon, and Link was supervising the construction site at the time, so he fought with John in front of Moses and others, and John was defeated by Link again!

Now John is obedient, knowing that there are more strong players in the strong, and Amon is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger by his side! He saw that Medanzo came back but did not continue to serve as the captain of Amon's personal guard, so he went to ask Amon to stay with the general no matter what, and simply let him be the captain of the personal guard.

Amon has the right to appoint a nobleman as the captain of his personal guard, and his status and position are quite high, although the captain of the personal guard does not have many people in charge and does not have much power, but his status is not low. The appointment of John as the captain of the guard was equivalent to giving John a knighthood, and since John himself was willing, Amon agreed.

John became the captain of the General's personal guard, and in addition to protecting Amun, he also managed the security of the territory. This captain is very conscientious, and when he has nothing to do, he will take his guards around to see where there is any chaos that needs to be settled, and there are really no public security incidents to deal with in the general's territory, and there are a total of four great warriors living here plus Amon himself, and thirty-six wolf-like guards, who will come to cause trouble? Even the wandering thieves are far away!

Amon left so many masters by his side, of course, he had something to consider. He was unable to regain his strength for a long time, and there was naturally a deep anxiety in his subconscious, if he didn't even have the strength to protect himself, how could he fulfill those difficult wishes? Even his own situation seemed very dangerous, and the more trustworthy masters the better.

It is said that Amon could already send Moses and others to the Duc Plain and let Link "escort" them, but he did not let this group of people leave for a long time, in addition to wanting to continue to train them, there is also this reason. This is his wish and a promise to Yoon Nanna, it is best to wait until he recovers his strength, and if something happens, he can deal with it.

John patrolled the territory with his guards, and often slipped away to the mountains to the west to hunt in his spare time. One day, the great samurai suddenly sensed mana fluctuations in a hidden valley near the quarry, as if someone was casting some powerful magic spell. He was taken aback, quietly let his subordinates rest in place, and quietly climbed to the top of a nearby mountain, where he saw Moses demonstrating high-level elemental magic to the twelve miners!

John was surprised, but when he returned, he didn't say anything, and still led his men to continue to patrol the territory. Link was supposed to be in charge of spying on the surveillance, but John was very alert, and by the time he found out, Link was too late to stop him. Link knew that the general was already aware of the secrets of Moses and the others, and reported it to Amon when he returned.

Amun, hearing that John had not moved, waited for the rest of the story in the same way. He knew very well what John must have planned if he did this.

...... The Eju people do not eat fish, and the Eju people worship cats. There is an interesting relationship between the two, because cats like to eat fish, but cats generally don't catch fish themselves, so Eju's cats don't have fish to eat. Schrödinger enjoyed a lot of food and wine, but he still liked Amun's barbecue the most, and the cat certainly didn't catch rats himself, let alone go down to the river to fish himself.

Amon often roasted Schrödinger with his own hands, and one day Schrödinger suddenly said something when he was eating meat: "Amon, your barbecue is so good, the grilled fish must be very fragrant!"

As soon as Amon heard this, he knew that Schrödinger wanted to eat fish, and this was the first time that this cat had offered to make a request, so how could this little wish not be satisfied? The Eju people never fished, and thought that eating fish was blasphemous, so it was naturally inconvenient for the servants to catch fish. As for Schrödinger's confession, Amon has always done it himself, so the general personally went to fish in the Ronnie Divine River, and did not bring any entourage.

John patrolled the river bank with his guards that day, but saw the general get a boat to go around the Ronnie River, so he stayed on the bank and asked the general what was the matter? Amon smiled and replied that it was okay, just to see the scenery. Later, John found out that the general had been alone in a lonely boat to the Ronnie River for several days in a row to see the scenery, and then came back after a circle, what was there to see?

One day, when John was inspecting the manor temple, he smelled a very tempting scent, with a strange fishy smell, and suddenly understood something. He turned around and went to discuss the matter with Medanzo, who was very embarrassed at first, but then he didn't know what John said, but the two of them muttered for days anyway, and then John was going to set up a feast for Amon to drink.
