A simple sentence, but it said too many unspoken meanings, and also confided in Maria's worries and worries, because of this, when he appeared in front of him, he felt extraordinarily clear and real, and even this silent gaze was particularly worth cherishing.

Amun didn't feel the same way, and when he returned from his journey to see Mary again, he sat in front of him the real Echo in his heart. In the past, when he saw Mary, he was always in a trance, and he couldn't tell whether it was the saintess of the temple of Isis or the girl Echo who he had met in Duketown, and there was always an indescribable conflict in his heart. But at this moment, he can finally see clearly and truly, she is her, it is the Ai Ko in his heart and the saint in front of him.

Amon didn't want to and didn't need to tell her, but he had seen her in a divine meditation in the middle of the night when he had slain the two-headed snake and landed on the other side of the lake. It wasn't a dream, it seemed like a real thing that had happened. They went back to the little building in Duk Town, and the man was no longer what he used to be, he was Amun now, and she was now Mary. But Amon hugged her again as he had done then, took her body in his arms and caressed her, and kissed her for real...... When the sun rose the next day, Amon opened his eyes and smiled. When he stood up, the inexplicable entanglement in his heart for a long time had been relieved, and he looked at the world under the sun very calmly.

At this moment, Amon's smile was as hearty as in the sun, and he said with a smile: "Holy Maiden, I have two things to report to you this time. ”

Mary looked at him too, her eyes shining like the stars in the silent night: "I'm waiting for you to say it." ”

Amon: "First of all, on this mission, I have already surveyed the terrain and landforms around the original site of Duk Town, and handed over the recorded information to the priests' committee of the temple. ”

Maria nodded with satisfaction: "I have read your report, the description of the terrain and landform is completely consistent with the results of the investigation from other channels, and you have also made a sand table for a detailed demonstration. The rarest thing is the distribution area of the various monsters, and the investigation you do is the most detailed, and you have to trek through those places on foot to get valuable information, which deserves extra praise.

Archpriest George has made a request to reward you, but I have suppressed this report for the time being, not because I don't want to praise you, but because the report is not enough to reward you for what you have achieved. Amon, is the second thing you want to say about it related to your personal cultivation?"

Amon nodded, "Yes, as you would expect, I have become a seventh-level great warrior. ”

Maria smiled, the girl's innocent and happy smile: "Many people have seen it, but you don't say it yourself, just wait for the first one to tell me? According to the old practice, the city-state will hold a celebration ceremony for you, and you will also be given the nobility of the Eju Empire, so prepare well when you return." ”

Amon: "What do I need to prepare?"

Maria thought for a moment and smiled: "After I came to the temple, you were still the first subordinate to be promoted to the rank of great warrior, in fact, there is nothing to prepare, I know your name is Amon, but you also need an official title, not only to be recorded in the noble roster of the city-state, but also to be registered in the temple's power awakening ceremony." ”

Amon was slightly stunned, and then reacted and said, "Is it a second awakening ritual of power? I have been allowed to study the Divine Script, and at the same time, I can also practice the Divine Arts?"

The Holy Maiden rarely showed a somewhat playful look: "Yes, I have already arranged it, it depends on whether you can achieve this kind of achievement yourself." The second awakening of power is not always successful, and only a great sorcerer can perform such rituals. Amon, I allow you to make your own request to choose any of the Grand Magicians in the Temple of Isis to preside over the ceremony for you as a special reward.

Do you choose Wald, the highest level of achievement, or do you choose me, who has just become a level 7 great magician? I would like to remind you, the higher the achievement, the greater the likelihood of success in the ceremony, but the most important thing is to see if you can awaken the power given by the gods. It takes a process, the ritual is just a symbol, like the opening of a door, which I have never presided over and have no experience. ”

Amon replied without thinking, "There is always a beginning to everything, and I am honored to ask the Holy Maiden to preside over the second awakening of power for me, and this is the first time you have presided over such a ceremony, which makes me even more honored. ”

Maria kept laughing, her eyes like a pair of crooked crescents: "Alright, that's it." I'm here to preside over the second awakening of power for you, and hopefully it will be successful. ”

Amon stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Lady Saint, you will definitely succeed!" When he called her Lady Saint at this moment, Amon was as calm as he was Echo.

You can guarantee that this ceremony will be successful, because Amon himself has long been a great magician. As long as he goes through this ritual, he can naturally use a lot of divine arts, and people will only admire the miracle of the Holy Maiden. However, he was also very interested in the second awakening ritual of this power, and perhaps the cultivation of the power of one and two sides could learn a lot from it.

When he was about to take his leave, Mary stood up and asked, "Have you read all the books I asked you to read?"

She was referring to the military books and materials related to the Legion's operations. Amon nodded and said, "Yes, in addition to the catalog you gave me, I also tried my best to find relevant documents to study, and I simulated deduction in my mind for a long time." ”

Mary added, "It's not enough to memorize, it's also necessary to think about how to use it." You can walk through such a wasteland, and you have learned so many military books, I believe you should have the experience of commanding a march in various environments. ”

Amon said thoughtfully, "Holy Maiden, are you hinting at me something?"

Mary replied meaningfully: "It will soon become clear to you that success and failure are the only things to do if you want to forgive your people." ”

...... A few days later, Daya Tuyan, the lord of the city of Memphas, personally held a ceremony for Amun and made an announcement. The people all heard the good news - Amun, the glorious warrior of the Temple of Isis, was promoted to the rank of seventh-rank Grand Warrior.

The name given to him by his drunkard father from childhood, Aroha Men-Jesus-Messiah-Hohua Allah Yah Montmon, finally came in handy for the first time, and was even written in the temple roster in the divine script by the priests. But this long list of titles is usually too difficult to remember, and people still call him the Great Warrior of Amun.

It was not Amon himself who was most pleased with the news, but Amun's friend, the merchant Theo. Xi'o said excitedly: "My vision is absolutely right, I have long seen that Amun will become a real nobleman, and today he has indeed become a respected great warrior!"

When he was drunk, he often boasted to his friends: "Master Amun once said that I also hope to become a noble lord in the future." And his friends laughed at Xi'o and said, "Forget it, why do you want to practice physical skills and become a great samurai?"

...... Shortly after the celebration, Amon underwent another ceremony, in a small hall in the temple of Isis. The presiding officer is the noble Holy Maiden, who awakens the power bestowed by the gods. This ritual is almost impossible to succeed in common sense, because Amon did not devout himself to the god in front of him, he only looked into his own heart, and silently looked at Echo who held the staff.

Since the ceremony was presided over by the Holy Maiden herself, the specifications were quite grand. Amun first bathed in incense, put on beautiful and mighty armor, put on his weapons, offered sacrifices to the gods, and received congratulations from the people. As Amon walked to the ceremonial hall, the warriors lined up on both sides of the staircase shed lotus petals, while the priests in the temple chanted psalms in unison, and Mary stood at the altar wearing a golden crown and holding a staff.

When the ceremony began, Mary gently raised the staff of the Holy Maiden, with an indescribable grace and grace, and sang a poem in praise of the goddess Isis, and a soft golden light from the staff enveloped Amun, who was kneeling in front of the god.

This is the "Blessing of Isis" magic technique, where Maria first calms Amun's body and mind, allowing him to experience all the magic in tranquility. Then the golden light began to flicker and swirl, and the body surrounding Amon was like a light veil floating, and there was a change of light and dark. This is the most basic magic power that is operating and unleashing, but it guides Amon into a state of calm meditation.

Mary's voice rang in Amun's head, "Let go of all your troubles and hesitations, and forget all your sorrows and sorrows."

Pray earnestly to the gods and ask them to give you strength.

As you enter into calm meditation, close your eyes and gaze at the solemn image of the deity.

It is like a ray of light rising from the eastern sky, spreading grace in all directions.

This light dispelled the darkness, and the earth awoke from its slumber, and the earth was no longer confused.

Please open your heart to meet and draw on the power bestowed by the gods.

You wake up in the fog and will spread your wings and fly. ”

Amon did not resist all the guidance that Mary had done, and when the blessing of Isis enveloped him, Amon opened his heart completely and entered a state of calm and clear composure. Although he was not a believer in the goddess Isis, he did not have the slightest contempt, and put his faith into Mary's piety to carefully experience.

When Maria's voice sounded in his head, Amon closed his eyes and really saw a "god", but it was not the goddess Isis on the high platform, and the appearance and posture of this "god" were clearly Mary. He also felt the power of the so-called gods, which surrounded him and permeated the heavens and the earth, like an eternal rhythmic existence, like the resonance of the harmony between the nature of heaven and earth and the introspective body and mind.
