092, strange oath
These two naked beauties with scorpion tails actually held magic staff in their hands, and I don't know what kind of animal long bones they were made of, the one on the left had a bone staff inlaid with a flame spirit at the top, and the one on the right had a bone staff with a blue water center inlaid at the top. Among them, the giant man with a human body and a scorpion on the lower body should be the legendary Scorpion King Surabaya, a monster human-faced poisonous scorpion made by the fallen ancient gods, which has the same origin as the hydra snake Humbaba.
It's a pity that Amon and the others are not Gilgamesh and Enqidu, and it is almost impossible to kill Surabaya. Raphael whispered to Wallette with his information magic technique: "The Scorpion King is invincible, throw the scroll, take the opportunity to take out the shuttle and escape!"
Wallette replied quietly: "My shuttle can only take two people, they just risked saving each other, and they can't just leave it behind." ”
Golie gives Wallette a flying weapon that allows him to escape with Raphael in times of crisis, and gives him three flying scrolls to help trigger the shuttle. But with Wallett's skills, he can only take himself and Raphael with a shuttle. The two high priests were righteous enough and did not flee in the first place.
Raphael said quietly: "At least the Scorpion King can speak, it's not that you can't negotiate, it's better not to do it." ”
The two of them were muttering in secret, but Amon and Medanzo couldn't hear it, but the scorpion king Surabaya heard it, and suddenly said, "Is there such a fool among the despicable human beings? What are you two talking about, you two think you can run away but don't run away, then try." ”
His voice was low and hoarse, like something hard rubbing, with the echo of metal colliding. Only Medanzo didn't know how powerful he was, with Amon by his side, Medanzo's courage has always been very big, he swung his sword and was about to form a battle formation at the front like just now, but he was pulled behind by Amon.
Amon took a few steps and stood at the front of the crowd, his voice was very calm, and he asked without a trace of trembling, "Are you the legendary human-faced scorpion king?"
The Scorpion King nodded his huge head: "Yes, I am the Scorpion King Surabaya, they are fire scorpions and ice scorpions." Despicable human beings, do you want to die in the face of me not praying for forgiveness?"
Medanzo and the others behind didn't see it, Amon had already taken out a gray scroll and held it in front of his chest, he replied with Storm of Destruction in his hand: "Begging for mercy! Is this useful? Those giant scorpions just now should be your subjects, if we only beg for mercy and don't fight, we won't survive now." May I ask the great Scorpion King, it is said that you have the power of a god, why did you appear in front of the humble mortals?"
The Scorpion King snorted coldly and said, "Despicable man, you dare to ask me, knowing that they are my subjects, but you have killed so many! Do you think that your life is more noble than that of the scorpion?"
Amon shook his head: "I don't think my life is more noble than a scorpion, but I don't think a scorpion's life is more noble than mine, but Your Majesty the Scorpion King, you call me a despicable human being, and you must think that you are nobler than all of us?"
The Scorpion King suddenly laughed, this laughter was like sand rubbing together, which could almost shake people dizzy, and he sneered and said, "What a bold man, you didn't even kneel down to pray when you saw me." I admire your courage, so I have decided to give you a chance, two of you will pay for the lives of my subjects, I can spare the other two, and you will choose who will die!"
The scorpion king was deaf and clear-sighted, and he had already discovered that Wallette and Raphael were not in the same group as Amun, and it was those two magicians who clashed with the mutated giant scorpion swarm, which led to the great battle just now. He didn't want to be an enemy of Amun, who was wielding the Storm of Destruction, but he made such a request.
The Scorpion King's request was an order, and his cold tone was not open to any discussion. Wallette and Raphael in the back glanced at each other, and exchanged their eyes for a decision, if Amon chose the two of them, they would immediately use the flying magic weapon to escape. And Medanzo whispered behind him: "God Amun, don't be fooled! This scorpion king is very cunning, and wants to break up the four of us and win without a fight." ”
Amon shook his head and said, "I don't have the right to choose who to let die, whether it's a human or a scorpion, it's my own choice." We didn't take the initiative to hurt any of the scorpions, but we were constantly attacked by the scorpion swarm in the desert, all out of self-defense, it didn't matter whose life was more noble. Your Majesty the Scorpion King, if you were me, please answer, should you kill those scorpions?"
The fire scorpion on the left side of the Scorpion King finally couldn't help but interject, her voice was slightly hoarse but with a magnetic surname: "You have killed so many of Your Majesty's people, and only repay two lives, what's unfair?"
Amon shook his head again and said, "We killed a lot of scorpions, not because we wanted to do that, but because we had to do that. The scorpions I encountered in the desert along the way were different from ordinary scorpions, and only one person should be blamed for such heavy casualties, but I don't know if I can describe it as human. ”
The fire scorpion asked rhetorically, "Who is to blame?"
Raphael, behind Amun, interjected, "Those scorpions have sapience, apparently trained, but the person who trained them used the opened sapient mind to bury them. They attack and coordinate, but the purpose of the fight is inexplicable, and that attack is meaningless, just a waste of lives. Whoever drives and trains them is responsible for their death. ”
The Scorpion King's face became ugly, and the ice scorpion on the right also spoke, his voice was very crisp, as if with some kind of seductive power: "Isn't this exactly what you anthropology with? ”
Amon shook his head again and again, and said, "This female scorpion who can hold a magic staff, you are wrong! There is not only the meanness and horror that you understand, but also the thinking and pursuit of all good things. Those with humble hearts can only see the humility of others in their eyes, and the wisdom opened by those scorpions is not the real human surname, if you think that it is unique to human beings, it is precisely the brilliance of the human surname that is obliterated. ”
Wallette also stepped forward and stopped in front of Raphael to speak: "Lord Scorpion King, please allow me to call you an adult. Do you want to raise an army of scorpions by training those scorpions like a battle formation and ordering them to launch senseless attacks in the desert?...... My name is Wallette, and my companion Raphael and I are both high priests of the temple of Enril in the city-state of Syria, and our teacher is the chief priest of the temple of Syria, and also a ninth-level great magician, commanding the military and civilians of the entire city-state, much more powerful than your scorpion army array. But we will not wage a senseless war and send the military and civilians to their deaths senselessly. ”
Medanzo also said: "Since we are not injured today, we can ignore this matter, your scorpion is dead, you should go back and think about it yourself." ...... Also, these two beautiful scorpions with surnames, I want to ask, you keep expressing contempt for human beings, why do you still look like Chengren?"
After the initial nervousness and panic, they found that the Scorpion King did not move his hands but only moved his mouth, and Amon showed calm and calm, and these people also calmed down and spoke reasonably, and their eloquence was not bad.
The Scorpion King's face was very ugly, the flame-like patterns on his cheeks changed color, and before the two human scorpions beside him could speak, he replied in a deep voice: "This is not the appearance of a human being, but the appearance of a god, and legend has it that the gods created human beings according to their own appearance." Possessing a body like a god, stupid humans don't know how to cherish it. ”
Amon said in a deep voice, "We cherish our bodies, so we don't want to be hurt by your scorpions. Scorpion King, I would like to ask you another question, is it possible that humans created gods in their own likeness, do you know how to become gods, or do you want to be a true god as well? If so, Your Majesty the Scorpion King, shall we make a pact today?"
Only Amon knew that the Scorpion King didn't want to die if he didn't make a move, and of course he didn't want to use the Storm of Destruction, but it was not a way to stalemate with this arrogant and powerful Scorpion King, and he had to find a staircase for the other party to end up.
Amon's words made Wallette and the others stunned, but the Scorpion King's face changed several times, as if he had been told something on his mind, and finally nodded after being silent for a long time: "Interesting person, what is your name, and what do you want to do with me?"
Amon replied, "My name is Aroha, and the agreement is simple, as long as your scorpion army does not take the initiative to attack, my people and I will not harm your men. The desert is not a suitable place for humans to live, and you want to have your own godland, although you can try it. In fact, you should be glad that you met us instead of Enkidu and Gilgamesh, and think about the fate of Humbaba. And we should also feel fortunate that we happened to meet His Majesty the Scorpion King and were not endlessly surrounded by mutated giant scorpions. ”
Amon's words made Wallette secretly frightened, and he hurriedly said loudly: "On behalf of the city-state of Syria, I also made the same agreement with Lord Scorpion King, do you know that this desert is within the territory of the city-state of Syria?"
The Scorpion King narrowed his eyes and asked, "This high priest, why don't you represent the Enriel Temple?"
Wallette shook his head and said, "In my capacity, I don't have that qualification, I can only make a covenant with you on behalf of the city-state of Syria." ”
The Scorpion King asked Amun, "How do I know who your people are?"
Amon raised the iron branch in his hand and said, "This is my staff, it is very special, you can recognize it, if my people pass by your territory, they will hold this staff." ”
The Scorpion King thought for a moment and asked, "What if someone breaks the agreement?"
Amon smiled: "Then, powerful and noble Your Majesty the Scorpion King, although you can appear like a god and give punishment, you will not be subjected to retaliation, hatred, and curse. ...... In order to make a formal covenant, we must all take an oath. ”
The Scorpion King let out another contemptuous sneer: "Is the human oath valid, what kind of oath do you want to make?"
Amon replied unhurriedly, "Your oath is that you will never become a god if you violate it, and my oath is that you will always be a lowly human being if you violate it." ”
Wallette and the others in the back all looked a little strange, what kind of oath is this? It is definitely nonsense in nonsense! And this scorpion king's brain is indeed different from that of ordinary humans, he actually nodded and said, "The four of you must make the same oath, so that's it!"
Medanzo couldn't laugh out loud, and pointed at the fire scorpion and ice scorpion behind Amon and said, "Then the three of you also have to swear, so it's fair." ”
Unexpectedly, the Scorpion King simply said, "Okay, it's decided." ”
Wallette and Raphael looked at each other, but they didn't dare to laugh if they wanted to, so the four of them and the three scorpions finished their oaths. The Scorpion King waved his huge claws and turned into human hands, and his lower body also turned into a human form, looking like a sturdy giant, he pointed at Amon and the other four: "Please remember today's agreement and keep your oath!"
Quicksand surged up and covered the three humanoid scorpion demons, and the sand dunes then calmed down, and the Scorpion King and his two men were gone. Medanzo patted his chest and said, "Ah, Arohe, you are so amazing, you just sent the Scorpion King away? I thought I was going to confess here today!"
Amon had already put away the Storm of Destruction, and turned back to Medanzo with an iron branch in one hand, "Come and help me." ”
Medanzo quickly stepped forward and grabbed one of Amon's arms, and then said in surprise: "What's wrong with you, covered in cold sweat?"
Amon waved his hand and didn't speak, and Wallette and Raphael stepped forward and saluted, "Lord Arroha, thanks to your wit and bravery today, we were able to get away with it. Thank you very much for not choosing to hand us over to the Scorpion King in the face of threats. ”
Amon smiled bitterly: "I'm not qualified to do that, if I really do that, it's me who really deserves to die." Let's go, don't you still have to deliver the letter, and it's safer to get out of here as soon as possible. ”
Hua Lai nodded and said, "Let's leave now, the two of you can't stay for long, looking forward to meeting in the city-state of Syria!" He threw out a shuttle-shaped magic weapon, turned into a boat-shaped space, wrapped himself and Raphael's bodies and flew into the air, and unfolded another flying scroll in mid-air, and the shuttle suddenly accelerated and disappeared into the sky.
Amon looked at the direction in which the shuttle disappeared and said, "These two people are really good, they could have escaped on their own at the first time, but they stayed behind to fight with us." ”
Mei Danzuo's mouth opened wide, and he asked with some envy: "What kind of thing did they throw out?
