105. Give it back to you
Link laughed, "O god Amun, this place is still desolate, but I already see a rich city-state in my eyes. If Aesop really had this kind of talent, he would be a good financial officer or an agricultural and pastoral officer in the future, and he would be a real adult. These are the second things, to build a new home on this fertile soil, and every day to harvest and witness new creations every day. As long as you have such a heart, life is full of positive meaning. ”
Medanzo smiled and gave him a punch and said, "You moved here from that ghost place in the mountains, and the whole tribe cheered, of course you will think so, others may not be able to say." But this is really very reasonable, it seems that you have not learned from the god Amun in vain!"
Amon nodded and said, "This time when I go back to Mengfeisi City, I will tell Aesop about this, if he wants, Medanzo, I will send you to escort him over." ...... Now that you have spoken of this truth, I have a question that I would like to ask seriously, you already have the sixth-level achievement of the power of one body and two sides, and the test you are about to face is the fusion of faith. So look into your heart, what is your true desire and what path you want to take? Don't tell me that I want to be a great mage or a great samurai, it's just the result of the process. ”
Neither of them smiled, and Link said: "My wish is very simple, that is, to lead my people out of the mountains to establish a peaceful home, watch this wasteland become a new city-state, and build a temple for the god Amun, and I am the one who witnesses and accomplishes all this with my own hands." ”
Amon smiled and said, "The temple is not in a hurry, wait until the walls of the first inner city begin to take shape, since you are willing to worship the goddess Mu Yun, then build a statue for her." ”
Link: "God Amun, what we want to build is your temple. ”
Amon smiled: "Don't worry, just leave me a place." ”
Medanzo also replied: "I used to just want to restore the status of nobility and the title of my ancestors, but when I was able to do all this, I found that this was not the most sincere pursuit of my life. I am a person who is constantly searching and discovering, witnessing the miracle of the god Amun, and I just want to continue to witness and explore the ultimate power existence!"
Amon smiled and said, "Okay, you guys go and confirm, if you want to break through the seventh-level achievement, you not only have to rely on the growth of strength, but the most important thing is the breakthrough of the heart, which can only be understood and cannot be spoken." Medanzo will return to Eju with me tomorrow, and Link will lead his people to continue to do their work here. ”
The huge wealth obtained from Mu Yun's treasure, Amon did not dare to put it all here, and only left a small part for Link in case of emergency. The next day, he left the huge island surrounded by swamps with Schrödinger and Medanzo on his shoulder, and set off again through the wasteland south. The return journey was different from the way he came, Medanzo had successfully passed the trial journey, and Amon also had a seventh-level achievement, unknowingly ranking among the top powerhouses in the continent.
I didn't encounter too many dangers along the way, and when I came, I had already touched the approximate range of various monsters, and I crossed the inland lake to the desert without being disturbed by the scorpion colony. Amon didn't walk fast, and this desolate and uninhabited place was the most suitable place to demonstrate all kinds of high-level divine arts, which was exactly what Medanzo, who had just achieved a sixth-level achievement, needed to learn well.
Amon himself was also practicing the seventh-level physical arts, and he was only a qualified great warrior after he had mastered it completely. What is the difference between a seventh-level samurai and a sixth-level samurai? Amon has a profound understanding that the power awakened in the bloodline can not only be stimulated from the inside out, but also exerted this power to the extreme, and can even control the operation of the power in the environment!
The power in the bloodline has become a way to stimulate energy, which is already very similar to the effect of divine magic, and even very similar to the esoteric energy divine magic. The gap between a sixth-level warrior and a sixth-level sorcerer is huge, and if it weren't for a sudden sneak attack from close range or a fight in the military formation, it would be difficult to defeat a sorcerer of the same level who had mastered various magical methods. However, the gap between a seventh-level warrior and a seventh-level magician has been significantly narrowed, and he has at least the power to fight face-to-face.
It's no wonder that Enqidu is even willing to only practice pure physical arts, if he can reach the peak state of this kind of power, and break through a hundred skillful skills, he will indeed not be afraid of any master. But it is too rare for a samurai to reach the realm of Enqidu, after all, the magicians have more means, and the magic is not just a manifestation of strength.
Along the way, Amon practiced seventh-level physical arts, while instructing Medanzo in various high-level divine arts, and the two often practiced fighting together, occasionally repelling monsters that suddenly appeared. In terms of actual combat skills, after this long journey, both of them have improved by leaps and bounds, especially Amon, although he seems to have not changed much, he is already a rare master on the mainland, not to mention that he has the power of one and two sides.
A little more than a month later, they returned to the territory of Eju and entered the city-state of the headland. Because they were on a secret mission, the two were still disguised and did not greet the local government office.
It was during this time that Julian received a letter. The messenger handed over the things to the porter and left, leaving no words, and the contents of the letter are unknown to outsiders. But the night after Julian received the letter, a tragedy struck in the city of Cape, and Fayol Judas, the clerk of Lord Rod Dick, hanged himself, leaving a suicide note full of confessions.
In his suicide note, Judas confessed that he was tempted by greed and was bribed by Morton, the treasurer of the city-state of Syria, and not only leaked the military and political secrets of the city-state of the headland, but also betrayed the spies sent to the city-state by the temple of Isis. Judas's suicide note also led to another person, that is, Mister Morton, the treasurer of the city-state of Syria, Judas had spent a lot of money to bribe Morton and obtain a lot of confidential information, which was also praised by Rod Dick. But on the other hand, Judas also accepted bribes from the other party and divulged a lot of military and political secrets that he knew. Neither of them is a good thing, and they do something very interesting, bribing each other with a lot of money in exchange for information. The money used for bribes belonged to the city-state, but after such an exchange it became their own, and they all made a contribution, and it was indeed a business of fame and fortune for individuals.
It was only at dawn that the servants found Judas's body hanging from the beams of the house, having been dead for a long time. But one thing is incomprehensible, in addition to the autographed suicide note on the table, there are thirty silver coins at Judas' feet, and someone has written a line on the ground - return to you!
It seems that after Judas's death, someone else crept into his room, and whether Judas committed suicide or he killed him is a matter of opinion. Rod Dick was furious, and the matter was eventually dealt with as a suicide, but the lord ordered a secret search for the man who was writing on the ground, but no clues were found.
Only Julian knew how Judas died, and vaguely guessed who the man who wrote the letter was, but he didn't say a word. Although the great magician knew in his heart, there was one thing that he still couldn't figure out, why someone would put thirty silver coins under Judas's corpse, and what kind of symbol was this?
Although the matter was handled privately, it was not completely covered up. The city-state of Syria also had spies here, and learned about the contents of the suicide note through Judas's servants, and the news spread back to Xiao Mo and Ge Le, so Mister Morton was taken down and questioned. Judas is dead, thousands of miles away, and Amon and Medanzo have left the city-state of the headland to return to Monfils.
...... The first thing Amon did when he returned to Monfilth was to go to his manor and ask Aesop if she would like to go to the wasteland to help the troglodyte tribe build a home.
Aesop readily agreed, and he said to Amun, "I am a slave, and you have given me the status of a free man, but the so-called freedom is not only the bondage of status, but the ability to witness the traces of one's own life, like seeing the trajectory of the stars in the sky." I look forward to such a mission, to repay you and to examine myself. Master Aroha, if you allow me, I hope to make all this into a story and sing it on to the world. ”
Amon was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I know you like to tell stories, the legends and the past events of the gods and spirits in various parts of the continent have been arranged by you, and you are telling the world in your eyes and the wishes in your heart." If what I do will become a story that people make up, if you want to, tell it in the future. ”
During the time that Amon was away, Aesop not only kept the manor in order, but also used the money left by Amon to take the servants to do business and make a lot of money. Although Amon didn't care about the money, it also showed that Isolt was very capable, and he sent Medanzo to escort Aesop to Link first, and then return to Monfilth to join him. After all this was arranged, he returned to the temple of Isis to resume his life, while Schrödinger was still among the cats outside the temple.
It has been half a year since Amon left Monfils, and the captain of the guard of the Temple Archives has already been replaced by a new candidate, and he still lives in the original courtyard, and he only receives a salary for the time being. The Holy Maiden soon summoned him, and the place was still the usual study. After greeting her, Mary once again asked her servants to stand down.
This time, without the special instructions of the Holy Maiden, Gabriel took the initiative to go out and close the door, anyway, Mary always had to speak alone every time she saw Amun. Gabriel glanced back at Amon meaningfully as he came to the door, with a look of inquiry and admiration in his eyes.
When the two are alone, a habit or a tacit understanding has been formed, and they both don't talk for a while, just look at each other. In front of the holy woman, according to etiquette, Amun could not take the initiative to speak, and it took a long time for Mary to say quietly: "Amun, you have changed again. ”
Amon smiled slightly: "What, you don't know me anymore?"
Maria shook her head lightly and said, "No, you have become clearer, and you have never been more real in my eyes than you are today!"
