203. Looking for the gods

Gabriel replied, "If you have news of Amun, inform the city of Salem in the plain of Duk at once, I know you have a good way, and it will not be difficult to send people into the caravan to deliver the letter." People are looking for him, and I'm looking for him. ...... General Amun must have arrived in Eju, didn't he come to you?"

Rod Dick shook his head and said, "No, the general didn't come to me. ...... Uh, no, I didn't have a dream the other day!" At this point, he suddenly raised his head in horror and recalled: "I had a dream a few days ago, and General Amon was standing at the head of the bed looking at me, and I woke up in fright, but there was no one in the room. ”

Gabriel was also stunned: "It seems that General Amon has already come, because it was you who sent Lord Mary to Duk Town back then, and she will become a saint." I'm worried that what happened to the Holy Maiden will make him lose his mind, and I'm glad you're still alive. ”

Gabriel said this and went away, but Rod Dick did not dare to sleep any more, got out of bed in his cloak and took off his hanging sword, and sat in the room until dawn. After daybreak, he summoned the chief priest of the An-la Legion and the priests in the temple, saying that now that a scuffle was breaking out in the Duc Plain, the city-state of the headland should also be on guard, and to strengthen the guarding force of the city lord's mansion, and ordered the magician and the craftsmen of the city to build a vigilant magic array and arrange it in his mansion.

Rod Dirk, who is now the commander of the Legion of Allah, has asked the Pharaoh to send another great sorcerer to the city-state of the headland in the name of securing the frontier since the chief priest George has not returned. As a result, an honorary high priest, Yi Bin, was transferred from the Temple of Isis to serve as the chief priest of the city-state of the headland and the Legion of An-La.

Yi Bin didn't understand why the City Lord suddenly wanted to strengthen the vigilance and guarding force of the City Lord's Mansion, but he did so anyway. Rod Dick wasn't worried that Gabriel or Amon would assassinate him, but last night's experience really scared him, and if there really were assassins with the ability of Amon or Gabriel, wouldn't his situation be in great danger, so it was better to take precautions.

...... After leaving the city-state of the headland, Gabriel arrived at Monfis, the main temple of Isis, which she had once known so well, reduced to a scorched earth. Half of the temple square was destroyed, and there were guards on duty at the edge of the square to keep the common people from approaching, and it was said that the temple of Seth would be built here, and there would be a special place to worship Mary in the side hall.

Amon must have come here or had already been here, Gabriel wandered around the square for days, but never found Amun.

After the destruction of the main temple of Isis, the chief great warrior of the temple and the leader of the Isis legion, Long Teng, was once the most nervous and busy person in the city of Memfils. He had to answer inquiries from all quarters and wrote a detailed report to Pharaoh Eju. The atmosphere in the city was also tense, and he had to step up his patrols to prevent any more chaos at this time.

It wasn't until more than a month later, when the official announcement of the Eju Empire came out, and the incident could be regarded as a clear official statement, that Long Teng breathed a sigh of relief. On this day, he still personally led the guards to patrol the city, and when he passed the ruins of the Temple Square of Isis, he sighed inexplicably, stopped his horse and was silent for a moment before continuing to move forward and return to his mansion.

He had just dismounted, but a person walked in front of the mansion gate, shouting in a deep and clear voice: "Lord Longteng, do you have time to talk?"

Hearing this voice, Long Teng was taken aback, and the surrounding guards were about to go up to stop him, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is my friend, quickly invite him into the mansion and close the door." ”

This man wore a cloak to cover his face, and followed Long Teng into the mansion, and came to a small reception hall, where Long Teng sent all the servants away, and then asked, "Gabriel, how dare you go back to Monfil?"

Gabriel took off his cloak and said, "I was ordered to hunt down Amun, and as a warrior I asked for a duel, and was defeated in the duel and became a prisoner. The Eju Empire rejected the General's request for ransom, and he could decide what to do with the captives, so he released me. I haven't violated any imperial decrees, so why can't I come back?Captain of the Dragon Teng Legion, you are responsible for the security of Mengfeisi City, do you want to arrest me, and for what reason?"

Long Teng's face was a little embarrassed, and he said in a low voice: "What you said is the truth, of course I won't arrest you and have no reason to arrest you, isn't this inviting you in! I could have thought that the general would come to me, but I didn't expect you to come too." ”

Gabriel leaned forward with his hands on the table and said, "The general has already come?"

Amon had indeed come to look for Longteng, just three days ago, and it was almost the same scene as it was today. At that time, Long Teng was patrolling the city and returning home, and was dismounting and entering the door, when a ragged beggar suddenly came in the distance, and the guards were about to step forward to drive away, Long Teng suddenly heard a voice in his ears: "Long Teng, I have something to ask you!"

This sound was like thunder on dry land, Long Teng was startled, and hurriedly said to the guard: "This is an elder from afar, please come to the backyard quickly." ”

It was Amun, his head was covered with dirt, his clothes were ragged and he looked like a beggar, and without saying a word, he walked into Long Teng's mansion, and Long Teng followed him and respectfully welcomed him into the backyard. According to Long Teng's recollection, General Amon was quite conscious, but his eyes were red, and he always looked fixedly at an unknown place when he spoke, not knowing what he was thinking.

Long Teng, of course, knew why Amon was looking for him, and detailed everything that happened in the Temple of Isis. Amon then took one of Mary's belongings and disappeared.

Gabriel asked, "What else can be left of the Storm of Destruction?"

Long Teng replied, "I saw a figure rushing into the sky with a hissed of pain, and no matter what kind of great magician it is, it is impossible to fly straight to the infinite height until it disappears. I can't say who that is, but you can imagine. The Storm of Destruction could not destroy everything, the Holy Maiden was gone, and the Scepter was destroyed, but in the center of the scorched earth was a Tear of the Gods. ”

After the destructive storm disappeared, people did not dare to approach the ruins of the Temple of Isis for a long time, and it was the remnants of the dragon and the legion warriors who entered there to clean up. The great warrior walked in alone, and he found that the only relic in the scorched earth was the Tears of the Gods, lying quietly in the dust and shining with tears.

Gabriel asked, "Why did you keep the Divine Stone and not hand it over?"

Long Teng bowed his head and replied, "I don't know why, the luster of that tear of the gods really shimmered like tears, and I quietly put it away." I also know that this sacred stone was mined by General Amun himself, and maybe one day, he will return here, and I think the relics of the Holy Maiden should be handed over to him instead of the Eju Empire. ”

...... Once again, Gabriel did not find Amun, but learned the latest news from Amun, who had already come to Memphis and taken the Tears of the Gods from the dragon. Amon has experienced a lot of hardships, but he has never been depressed, he has lived a simple life and does not pursue luxury, but he has never been dissolute. Now he was unkempt and ragged, and it seemed that he didn't care about anything else, not even the clothes he wore and the dust on his face.

What kind of state of mind is this, which can make a ninth-level Great Achiever fall like this! According to Long Teng, Amun's mind is still quite clear, but he has always been in a state of confusion. Fortunately, he looks like a down-and-out beggar now, and it is not easy to attract attention when he blends in with the crowd.

Gabriel searched for Amun in the city-states of Ejug, a mission that Mary had given her, which she had to accomplish, and the search for Amon had even become her faith. The young man who had walked out of Duk Town had now become the god Amun on the altar, but he had given up everything he had, and his clothes had disappeared into the smoke of the world. Half a year passed, and Gabriel still did not find him.

With the passage of time, the unforgettable pain seems to be no longer so intense, and inadvertently becomes long-lasting and lasting. Gabriel could not go back without finding Amon, and as soon as she turned around on this path, it was as if she could see the eyes of Mary, like the light of the tears of the gods.

Gabriel's final stop was on the east bank of the Ronnie River, surrounded by a wilderness with crocodiles in the distance, and a few farther away from the bank was a rolling mountain with a pass between the mountains, and a flat valley when it entered the col.

This place Gabriel remembers vividly that when Amun first came to Eju, Julian, the high priest of the temple of Isis, sent people to chase him all the way, and it was in this valley that there was a fierce fight. Amon had eliminated all his pursuers, exhausted his strength and was seriously wounded, and walked out of the col to the bank of the river, where he fainted and fell unconscious.

Maria and Gabriel happened to pass by the river of Ronnie in a boat, and were alarmed by Schrödinger's cry and went ashore to rescue Amun, an unexpected reunion, as if it were a fateful encounter. If Amon could not shake off the lingering heartache, sooner or later he would come to this place to remember Mary, and Gabriel was waiting in this valley.

After living in seclusion in the valley, Gabriel did not give up the power of cultivating the origin, and to find Amon and protect him, he must have great strength. Amon is facing the archangel of the Nine Divine Systems, and Seth's injury is definitely not light, and he will definitely not reappear in the short term, and Amon will not be able to find it. But Seth can command many divine envoys in the Nine Divine Systems, and no matter how great Amon's ability is, it is difficult for one person to deal with it.

Conflict may have broken out, but Gabriel had been wandering in Eju for so long, and had never heard of a fierce fight anywhere. Cultivation was more than strength, Gabriel had to be at peace with her soul and find the clear and firm conviction that guided her, and she had been recalling what Mary had said in her letters.

Mary knew what kind of impact this would have on Gabriel's soul, so she specifically asked, "How will your faith be guided at that time?" and reminded, "I know your faith in the gods, which is the radiance of your heart, and I want you to find the true source of the divine name and accept the guidance of that radiance." ”

Mary didn't want Gabriel to be confused by this, and even tactfully told Gabriel to accept Amon's guidance, and the holy woman knew very well what path Amon was on to explore. But now the one who is confused is Amun, who may be getting farther and farther away from the path to the gods.

The people of the city of Salem had lost the god Amun, and Amun had lost Mary, and he had to find her. And Gabriel's desire to find Amon is also equivalent to recovering the source of the divine surname that guided her in her faith. On this day, when the sun rose, Gabriel sat in the valley and prayed quietly, listening to the voice of his soul becoming clearer and clearer: "Whose voice rings in the soul, like the light of the sky, is the inspiration of the eternal source." Whose eyes do I see full of compassion and holy sorrow? Who and where are you, O God, the God I call, who are you, and find my desires, my ways, and my glory!

Open your eyes and see, the sinful people of the world have created everything that makes them feel sinful, and those who put on the white robe promise blessings to the world, but the tail of sin is revealed under the white robe. O people of the temple, to whom are you paying tribute? The idol with blood on its hands is being praised by the people.

The true God will come, and will carry out a great and all-encompassing inventory, and the golden grain will be left behind, and the chaff of the sinner will be burned, and I will not forgive him......!

Gabriel, who was praying, suddenly raised his head, and several powerful breaths approached rapidly from the direction of the Ronnie River in the distance, accompanied by the violent impact and humming of energy explosions, which was a fierce battle between the great achievers. Gabriel carried the Blade of Order and flew into the air, she was already an eighth-level great warrior, and now she also confirmed the eighth-level achievement of the Origin Power.

Gabriel had just flown out of the valley when he saw a figure fall from the sky like a meteor, barely falling into the river and landing on the shore. The man's cloak was covered in dust, and he smashed a large pit into the soft wet soil on the river beach, and the muddy water splashed everywhere as if he was unconscious. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, the familiar figure was Amun, whom Gabriel had been looking for for a long time.

In the distance, there were two people flying in front of him, one after the other, and the first one was the frog god Hequette in the Nine Divine System, his cheeks and forehead had brownish-green stripes, reflecting a strange floating luster. The frog god flew forward, waving his robe sleeves in the air, and the Nile rolled up on the waves, and a transparent water arrow flew out of the waves, drawing a curved arc towards Amun, who had landed.

Huge waves also surged up the river and washed ashore, white foam tumbled, and the wall of waves was like a huge strange hand stretched out from the river, grabbing Amon who fell on the river beach with muddy water.

Just then, Gabriel arrived, and with an axe in the air, it was as if the space had been cut open, separating the wall of waves that rushed to the shore from the waves in the river, and the huge power roll splashed in all directions, and several huge crocodiles flew back into the river with their teeth and claws as the waves scattered. This is a spatial cutting magic art, emitted with a magical blade of order, and its power is indescribable.

Although Gabriel has mastered the eighth-level achievement of the Origin Power and can instantly perform high-level divine skills like a great magician, she has always been a samurai in her bones, and she always has the habit of being the best at shooting. The volley slash only activated the power of the spatial cut, scattering the wall of waves that rolled towards Amon, and Gabriel's form did not stop, and slammed towards the high-speed Hyquet flying in the air like lightning.

The tomahawk erupted in a silver arc of light, drowning Gabriel's figure in it, dispersing the water arrows that Hequet had rolled up with a crisp cracking sound. Gabriel's appearance was so sudden that Hequett was almost defenseless, and hurriedly turned around and folded his hands, and the scattered water arrows and the waves rising in the river quickly condensed into a thick wall of ice in the air.

With a "click", the ice wall was slashed by silver light as soon as it appeared, and a majestic blonde woman wielded a half-moon-shaped battle axe in the silver light. As a divine envoy, Hequet has rarely encountered this kind of battle, Gabriel is a man and axe in one and a straight collision from the air, and he doesn't put on a frame to fight him at all, it is completely the style of killing the enemy in front of the battle, and he doesn't even ask.

Hequette hurriedly opened his mouth and roared, and a drum of sound unfolded in front of him, with a huge impact, the shattered ice wall instantly scattered and exploded, and the silver light that enveloped Gabriel was also dispersed, but Gabriel still slashed out with an axe.

Hequet's frog roar can shatter even a boulder, and even if a strong samurai can withstand it physically, the impact in his soul can also make people unconscious, which is what he is best at protecting his life and attacking his enemies. Although the arc light created by the fusion of Gabriel's axes was scattered, the axe swung forward seemed to cut a gap in the roar impact.

A green mist erupted, with scattered brown streaks, and the air seemed to be splashed with a splash of oil paint, and Hequette screamed and rolled and fell towards the other side of the Ronnie River, his green robe already in tatters. He was cut down by Gabriel's axe, and he was already wounded. If it weren't for the crocodile god Sobek rushing behind him, Gabriel would have rushed over and killed him with an axe.

Sobek was a little further back, and when Hequette flew to the middle of the Ronnie, he had just crossed the shore. Amon landed and had no power to fight back, and he was about to be captured, the crocodile god was overjoyed and relieved, and his speed slowed down slightly, but he didn't expect an accident to suddenly happen at this time.

A cloud of silver light flew up on the opposite shore, and from his point of view, a single shot knocked Hequette into the air, and even the impact roar that Hequet was best at did not stop the enemy. The frog god fell down with his teeth and claws, and the crocodile god saw Gabriel holding an axe in the air, and the blonde female warrior had already swung his axe at him, and an arc of light flew with a thunderous sound.

Sobek roared, and the crocodiles on both sides of the Ronnie River followed suit, and he waved the knob-like whip in his hand, and a volley of light and shadow appeared in the air, like a chain of knots, locking the arc of light from the axe. Gabriel struggled to stir the blade of order in his hand, and the silver light flipped in all directions, slashing the illusioned chains into pieces.
