078. Accustomed to self-consciousness

Not only is the highest-level collection room protected by a magic circle, but the borrowing of materials requires the approval of a high priest, and even the cleaning work cannot be carried out by slaves. The samurai on duty also have ranks, and Amon is hand-picked by the Holy Maiden, and of course has the highest rank and is qualified to guard all the archives and clerical rooms.

Maria had said that she would give Amon a chance to consult the canonical records of Duk for himself when he became a great warrior. As soon as Amon entered the temple of Isis, he actually had the opportunity to consult any of the texts here, and no one knew that this warrior from a foreign land actually understood the Aeju script.

But Amon couldn't flip through them openly, a warrior on duty would be suspicious of reading a scroll, and some of the most precious tomes were locked in special boxes that could only be opened in the company of a high priest. He could only take advantage of the opportunity to patrol alone, flipping through the books while sorting out the shelves. The higher the size of the archives, the more relaxed they are, and there are few people who come to borrow the books, which Amon always has to find.

There are two types of texts that Amun is most interested in: one is the various legends about the gods from a long time ago, and now the Eju Empire has a unified divine decree, and those different myths can only be seen here in ancient times. The other type is the cultivation experience and notes left by the magicians and samurai of various periods, which are the precious wealth of countless people's efforts.

Amon quietly flipped through some of the classics he was interested in, and only then did he really understand how precious the message left by the old madman was. Bell must have been here back then, and had consulted all the valuable records, and the old madman had heard from Bell. The records he left to Amon are the essence of condensation, Nietzsche has been to many places in his hundred years, and he has consulted not only the classics of the Temple of Isis, but also the compilation and compilation of them to Amun.

But Amon still gained a lot here, because the old madman left him only records related to the cultivation of divine arts, and many other materials also contained important information, and it was impossible for the old madman to tell Amon everything. The legend of Duk that Amon was most interested in was not found for a while.

The archives of the Temple of Isis are too large, and even if they are on duty in one archive room a day, it will take more than a month to go through them all, and Amon can only quietly flip through them when no one is around, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to read all the classics in a short period of time.

It was the most leisurely time Amon had ever spent in his life, sometimes patrolling the archives with other samurai, and sometimes being on guard in a fixed place, helping the priests who consulted the texts to retrieve the materials. The warriors had their own residences in the temple, Amun had a separate hut, although it was not big but comfortable enough to live in, and the monthly salary was five gold coins, which was enough for the expenses of ordinary large families, and the temple of Isis was really luxurious.

If Amun wanted to marry and start a family, he could also buy a house in the city of Meffil, have children, work in the temple of Isis during the day, and return to "home" at night, but the son who was on duty at night had to live in that hut. Although a glorious warrior like him is not a nobleman, he seems to have some kind of aura with the light of the temple, coupled with the fact that he has a good and leisurely life, many families in Mengfeisi City are willing to marry their daughters to this kind of person.

Amon is already a fifth-level warrior at a very young age, and he still has an income of five gold coins a month, and the young man is also very energetic, and of course he is very popular. Occasionally, when he left the temple to go to the city to buy something to eat, there were always people like restaurant owners and shopkeepers who accosted him, and asked him about the cold, wanting to introduce him to the girl.

For this situation, Amon always smiled and refused, he really didn't have the same mind. Although everything seems to be safe for the time being, Amon is clear about his identity and burden, he is a magician, he wants to unlock the secrets of the gods, and he has promised a goddess that he will find the surviving people of Duk Town to return to their hometown to rebuild their homes, and the road ahead is dangerous and difficult.

Amon rarely travels out, spending most of his time in the archives of the Temple of Isis, and he is probably the most dedicated warrior on duty. I have visited the bustling city of Montfilth a few times, and the guide is Aesop, a slave of the merchant Theo. Amon had kept his promise and paid a visit, and Theo was surprised and enthusiastic when he learned that the benefactor in front of him had become the honorary warrior of the Temple of Isis.

Xi'o even wanted to marry his daughter to Amon, and when he met people, he boasted that he had long seen that the future of this foreign warrior was limitless, and he was indeed a great figure. But Amon prefers to take Aesop out of the house, and listen to the chauffeur tell all sorts of anecdotes as he walks the streets, which are more interesting than the old texts in the archives.

Of course, Amon's main energy is still focused on the cultivation of two sides of the same body, and his nightly meditation on the foundation of divine arts has never stopped. It is inconvenient to openly practice divine arts in the temple of Isis, but it does not hinder the cultivation of strength, as for the training of physical skills, he is already a warrior, and there is nothing suspicious.

Amon's injuries healed quickly, but his strength recovered quite slowly, and he felt as if his body had gone through a process of growth again, and although his strength was recovering slowly, it was growing every day. While Amon himself felt that he had fully recovered to his original state, the growth did not end.

Amon was somewhat surprised to find that it was not only the power in the bloodline that increased, but also the mana that used divine arts, was this the magic of the power of two sides of the same body? He could even "see" the changes in his body, from the bone marrow to the muscles and flesh, as if he had undergone a refinement, his physical strength and endurance were far beyond that of ordinary fifth-level warriors, and this time it seemed to have broken through some kind of limit.

When the growth of strength and the change of physique finally reached a stable state, Amon clearly felt the change in himself. In the past, although he could recover his energy and mana through divine meditation, he still needed to sleep and rest after all, but now as long as he meditates quietly for a period of time every night, he can fully recover, even if he doesn't sleep for many days.

If necessary, he can even go without food for a long time, but he needs to replenish the power consumed through special divine meditation. Then he did a private experiment, and he didn't eat for half a month, and he felt that there was no obstacle to being light and healthy, but after all, he couldn't go without eating forever, and there was still a limit to what he could bear.

Is this the process of advancing from a fifth-level samurai to a sixth-level samurai, a "breakthrough to the limit"? No wonder that the samurai Haven has been following him for so long, and still has amazing strength in the final fight, if Amon hadn't used the scroll beforehand, and used his magic at the last moment with the help of his staff, he would definitely fall before Haven.

One night, Amon was in a very quiet state of meditation, and finally felt that the slow growth of strength in the past six months had reached a stable state, and he had completely "recovered". After recovery, Amon almost has a new physique, and his strength is much stronger than before, as if he has experienced a more perfect new life.

Has he already passed the physical test to become a sixth-level warrior? Does it also mean that his divine achievements will also be advanced? If you want to verify it, you just need to take out the Earth Pupil left by the old madman and read the next piece of information. Amon didn't dare to do this in the temple of Isis, although he had his own hut and could set up a magic array to cover it, but there were too many high-ranking people here, maybe there was still the attention of the gods.

One day when it was not his turn to be on duty, Amon left the temple in the evening and went out, many samurai liked to drink some wine and have some fun at this time to relax, and those who had families went home, even if they did not have families, they would not return until the next morning, and Amon had a hard time going out for a walk. The city was very large, and when he arrived in the north of the city, he first found a tavern for a meal, and watched the artist's performance, and after dark, he came back a long way, so he simply found a big inn to live in, and asked for the best room with a separate small courtyard.

Amun's income is very high and he is very rich, but he usually has almost no place to spend money, and it is nothing to go out luxuriously.

In the middle of the night, he used the Divine Stone to set up a magic array in the bedroom to hide the sound, and then took out the magic staff and the pupil of the earth that had not been used for a long time, and the voice of the old madman sounded in his ears again-"My child, I want to congratulate you again, seeing this message, you already have a sixth-level divine achievement! Now I want to tell you one thing, maybe you haven't come back to your senses yet." Becoming a sixth-level divine magician means that you can cultivate high-level divine arts, but there is one requirement, that is, for a long time before, the basic meditation of divine arts has never stopped.

There are many fifth-level divine magicians who cannot advance for life, just because they have not done this, once they give up their divine cultivation for a certain period of time, the process of breakthrough will have to start again. Don't go to the scriptures, there is no such clear record, this is the conclusion that Bell came to after studying the cultivation records left by all the great magicians in the archives of the Temple of Isis, and Bell relayed it to me.

Everyone's situation is different, it is impossible to tell what kind of accumulation is needed for someone to break through the sixth-level achievement, some people may be very fast and some may be very slow, but the process of accumulation cannot be interrupted, otherwise it will have to start again. Magicians should consciously concentrate on cultivation, and they should not disturb the process because of the various things they encountered, which itself is also part of the breakthrough.

At this point, you can't deliberately cultivate divine arts for the sake of cultivating divine arts, it is a part of your life. It is possible to do it because of perseverance, because of perseverance, because of persecution, or just by luck, but the best state is to get used to it, so that you can maintain the most peaceful state of mind in the basic meditation of the gods.

Many great magicians, including me, are more or less aware of this when they recall their own experiences, but they don't explain it to their students and disciples, just as I didn't tell you beforehand. My expectation of you is to unlock the secrets of the gods, let alone complete this mission if you don't even have the consciousness to which you are accustomed. Luckily, I wasn't mistaken about you from the beginning, so, my child, you finally read this message. ”
