Amon stretched out his hand and pushed away the people around him, shook his head and said, "No, it's not an accident, it's me who took the whip for this miner." Lord John, I should be the temple envoy you just mentioned, right? This season's divine stones have been handed over, and I didn't order these miners to mine more, what do you mean by this, did I let you whip these people to force them? If that's the case, your whip should indeed be on me. ”

Amon demolished the stage in front of him, and there were so many people around, John's expression was very embarrassed, but after all, he was the one who injured the envoy, so he had to apologize: "Mr. Amon, please don't blame, I'm just angry with these filthy miners." Just now, this person destroyed the precious mineral core that he had worked so hard to mine. As for mentioning your arrival, just want to remind them of their more serious work. ”

Amon still had a calm face, and said in a reprimanding tone: "Mining divine stones does not guarantee 100% success, it is normal to occasionally damage a mine core, why are you so angry?"

John waved his hand and pointed to the miners around him, "Mr. Envoy, I am afraid you don't know, these people are all slaves of the Pharaoh, they come from the town of Duk in the Hati Kingdom, which is a land rejected by the gods, they are cursed and banished by the gods! It is their honor to whip and whip myself in my noble capacity!"

Amon's expression had gradually calmed down, but when he heard this, his face suddenly turned red again, his eyes were gloomy and sharp, and he stared at John and said coldly: "In this way, it is also my honor to whip you!"

John's hair was straight from Amon's staring, and he replied a little confused: "Mr. Amon, although you are not a nobleman, you are also the patrol messenger of the temple, how can you compare with these outcasts in Duke Town?"

Amon: "Master John, you have lost your mind, I am a sixth-level warrior, how can this thin miner bear such a strong body and bones are still injured by your whip? If you had won the lottery just now, you might have killed him! They are not sinners, they are craftsmen who mine sacred stones for the temple, their skills should be respected enough, what qualifications do you have to say what you just said?"

Mary sent Amon to inspect Mount Horeb to make sure that the descendants of Duk Town were here, and he didn't know what was going on, but John's words aroused Amun's irrepressible anger. John was not only scolding the miners, but also insulting Amun's people and ancestors, including his dead father, who was only a child under the age of eighteen, how could he stand it?

John didn't know the details of Amon, Amon's actions seemed to be deliberately provoking and finding fault in front of everyone, and he was also enraged at this time, and snorted coldly: "Mr. Amon, you deliberately stood under my whip." I'm also a sixth-level warrior, you can't catch my whip, but you want to blame me for hurting you? Why are you injured, you should ask yourself, why didn't you learn martial arts better? And what you just said is very disrespectful to an imperial noble!"

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the retinue did not know how to persuade them. Everyone knew that John was impulsive, irritable, irritable, and very rough with his subordinates and the minions of the mines when he started a fire. These craftsmen who mined the sacred stones served the pharaoh and were also a valuable resource, and the pharaoh had orders not to harm them at will.

But the captain of John's guard was angry today, and drew such a whip, and if it had been done to Moses, he would not have paid for his life, but he would have been punished and rebuked. He had experienced a similar disaster in Mengfeisi City, so he was sent to He Lie Mountain, but his old habits were difficult to change.

Amon was unaware of these circumstances, and his heart was filled with rage, so without saying a word, he turned around and snatched the hammer from Moses' hand, and walked slowly around the hall, swinging the hammer at every workbench. He spun around and everyone was stunned because the envoy had opened all the cores on the anvil.

With each blow of the mine hammer, the hard shell of those ore cores turned into light white fine sand and leaked out, and more than 30 divine stones were presented intact in front of people's eyes. What an amazing feat! Amon didn't use a staff like a sorcerer, he had a mining hammer in his hand. Needless to explain, everyone had vaguely guessed the origin of this envoy, and even the miners were stunned.

After a few moments of hard work, more than thirty divine stones were mined, and none of them were damaged, which was quite difficult for Amon, and he walked back to John's side, his forehead was already oozing fine sweat, and the green tendons on his arm holding the hammer were beating, and he said coldly: "Have you seen it? I am also a miner from Duke Town! I want to ask, what qualifications do you have to say what you just said and insult such a skill?"

You have insulted my people, my ancestors, my deceased father, my esteemed teacher. Noble samurai, I would now formally request a duel with you. According to the decree of the Eju Empire, this must be agreed to by you, and I, as a commoner, will suffer the consequences of hurting my request to the nobles for a duel. Lord John, you just asked me why I didn't learn martial arts better, so please grant this request and let each other know what real martial arts are. ”

The decrees of the Eju Empire provided for duels between samurai, and in certain cases duels could be requested, one of which was the case that Amon said, that the duel had to be fought by a notary and that the other party could refuse. In a duel between a commoner and a nobleman, even if the nobleman agrees, if the commoner hurts the nobleman, he will still be punished. Such a decree may seem unfair, but the status between nobles and commoners is inherently unequal, and this decree at least provides a way to take revenge before the consequences.

Amon made a request for a duel, and his act of mining more than thirty divine stones in a row just now had already eliminated most of the anger in his heart, and now he looked at John with more sneers. How could John's temper refuse, he was completely enraged by Amon, and pointed to the door and said, "Let's go outside to duel, you can choose the weapon you are good at!"

Amon shook his head and said, "I don't need any weapons, just this mine hammer. His contemptuous tone made John even more furious.

The two walked side by side towards the door, and the attendants couldn't stop them. At this moment, Blanca rushed in with his staff, grabbed one of them with one hand and persuaded: "Two samurai, why do you want to fight a duel for these lowly miners?

When Blanca heard that Amon had been injured unexpectedly, he immediately rushed over, but he didn't know the specific situation, and saw that the two were about to duel in front of the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him. John was also not polite to his superiors, and replied with a straight face: "As a noble samurai, I have agreed to Mr. Amon's request for a duel, and unless he proposes to withdraw from the duel, I will not regret it." ”

Amon directly pushed Blanca away and said, "My lord, I grew up in Duke Town, and I am what you call a lowly miner. He insulted my people and ancestors, so I made a request for a duel. But don't worry, I'll only defeat him and won't hurt him in a duel. You're just in time, so be the notary of the duel. ”

Blanca stomped his foot, eager to slap his mouth, he came too hurriedly to ask about the situation, didn't he just persuade him to add fuel to the fire? When he came back to his senses, the two warriors were already standing face to face in the open space outside the door, John took out a heavy broadsword, Amon held the mine hammer in his hand, and the duel was unstoppable.

Blanca had to stand in front of the door as a notary, staff in hand ready to perform magic spells, and if the life of either of the two sides of the duel was in danger, he would immediately intervene to stop it and avoid the consequences of the uncontrollable. At the same time, he was anxiously thinking in his heart, how to suppress this matter, and quietly solve it in He Lieshan, so as not to spread it to the Temple of Isis.

He was pondering when he suddenly heard Amon urging, "Lord Blanca, why don't you start yet?"

Only then did Blanca realize that he had been in a daze, and reluctantly raised his staff to signal the start of the duel. John's figure was like an arrow from the string rushing towards Amon who was more than a dozen paces away, raising the broadsword in his hand, and the sword body was full of light. Instead of slashing directly with the tip of his sword or the blade, he slapped the spine of his sword against Amon's hammer-wielding shoulder.

This man is not completely brainless, although it is a duel, but he just wants to knock Amon to the ground and teach him a lesson. This sword was much more ferocious than the whip just now, and its speed and strength were exerted to the limit. The onlookers let out an exclamation of amazement, only to see that John was still standing a dozen steps away when the kung fu sword slapped Amun's shoulder in the blink of an eye.

The exclamation then turned into an exclamation, which was again drowned out by a loud sound that pulled out a long note. Amon stood still and did not move, but saw John's sword break in two and fly out, and the man fell on one knee in front of Amun, and the mine hammer was placed on his shoulder. With a flick of his wrist, John's head could have been smashed like a core, but Amon didn't kill him.

Only a handful of people saw what had just happened, John was fast, and Amon was faster, faster than John's reaction. As John rushed in front of him, before the sword fell, the hammer in Amon's hand turned into an afterimage and struck him on his left knee. John's legs fell to his knees as soon as his legs went limp, and the sword had already fallen.

In a short period of time, Amon swung a second hammer, grappling the sword on his shoulder, and let out a deafening loud sound that shattered the light on the sword's body. John couldn't hold his sword, and the heavy broadsword flew out of his hand, trembling in the air, and flew into the air and suddenly broke in two. Amon flipped his wrist and the hammer rested on John's shoulder.

Seeing this, Blanca hurriedly shouted: "The duel is over, Amon wins!"

John, who was kneeling on the ground, was already drenched in sweat, and no one knew better than him the horror of Amon's shot just now. When he rushed over just now, he clearly saw Amon's mine hammer swing out, although he wanted to block but couldn't react at all, when the hammer hit his knee, his heart was cold, thinking that this leg was about to be wasted. It felt very strange, there was no severe pain, but a strange shock and shock all over the body, and I knelt down as soon as my legs were weak.

Immediately afterwards, Amon swung his hammer upwards and struck the broadsword, and there was a huge impact on the blade, and the tremor was so violent that John could not hold the sword at all. The force of the impact continued after the sword flew out, shattering a heavy broadsword in midair. John had a feeling that whether the other party wanted to kill him or hurt him, it was just a matter of a thought, and even Blanca had no time to stop it.

Just now, John was still full of anger, and in a moment he was drenched in a chill from the inside out, only to hear Amon say unhurriedly: "This is the miner's skill in Duk Town, it can open the core of the mine without destroying the divine stone, and it can also disperse your power but keep you intact, the gods blessed me with good control and did not hurt you." Do you throw in the towel, Lord John, or do you want to do it again?"

Blanca has already come over: "No need to come again, I'm a notary, this duel, John has already lost!"

John, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly bowed his head and saluted: "Mr. Amon, I admit defeat!" If he does not admit defeat, it is also a humiliation, although he is also a sixth-level warrior, he doesn't even have the strength to fight back in front of Amon. Although this samurai's surname is short-tempered, his impulsiveness comes and goes quickly, and he has no temper at all at the moment.

It seemed that Amon's anger had not subsided, and he turned to Blanca and said, "Since this warrior has admitted defeat in the duel, then he should repent and apologize for his words and deeds." ”

Blanca was about to persuade John to bow his head, but John nodded himself: "I apologize, take back what I just said, apologize to all those who have been insulted by me, and compensate for my actions." ...... Come on, give me that whip, and I'll pay you back!"

One of his subordinates brought the long whip just now, and John handed it to Amon with both hands. Blanca's face was a little ugly, and she wanted to say something but stepped aside. John took a few steps back and turned around, but Amon was not polite, picked up the whip and flicked his wrist and pulled it out. John was not wearing armor, the whip whipped him on the back, his clothes were torn, and a bloody mark was left on his skin. This whip was neither light nor heavy, just like the one Amun received.

Only then did Blanca greet him and said, "Okay, okay, two samurai, everything is settled, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, you can become friends!"

Amon threw down his whip and said, "Two adults, can you find a place to talk alone? ”

...... After the duel, I calmed down and was finally able to speak calmly. Amon and John were drugged on their backs, but in fact, it was only a skin injury, and there was no hindrance, and Blanca also performed healing magic for the two.

Blanca, as the head of Ho Lie Mountain, only wants to be a peacemaker, and orders someone to put on the table with good wine and food to laugh and talk to Amon. As for John being his subordinate, of course, his tone was harsh, and he scolded: "John, thank you, Mr. Amun, those miners are Pharaoh's slaves, and they are ordered not to be harmed at will. That young man named Moses is their leader, if you really kill him, you will only be punished severely, Amun actually saved you today!"

Amon interrupted him and said, "Lord Blanca, I am also a miner from Duke Town, but it's very strange, how did the descendants of Duke Town come to Holie Mountain?"

Blanca replied embarrassedly, "I don't know about it, they were sent by the guards of the city-state of the headland, and at the same time there were orders from the pharaohs. ...... I beg your pardon, I don't know where you came from, but I'm curious how Mr. Amon is from Duke?"

Amon replied indifferently, "Haven't you heard of it?" The Tears of the Gods embedded in the Staff of the Holy Maiden were mined by my own hands, and I was banished for the punishment of offering the Tears of the Gods to the goddess Isis, but I escaped a catastrophic flood because of this. ”

John was amazed, "You mined the Tears of the Gods?no wonder the Holy Maiden has a special grace, and the miner's skill in Duk Town is indeed not to be underestimated, it has overcome me, please forgive me for my recklessness." ”

Amon could have brought the matter to a successful conclusion with two more beautiful words, but he shook his head with a calm face: "Lord John, your recklessness and impulsiveness are a disaster, not only violating Pharaoh's orders to hurt those miners for no reason, but also another dangerous tendency, which means a more serious crime, I wonder if you realize it?"

John was startled and asked a little confused, "Please tell me clearly, Mr. Amon, what's wrong with me?"

Amon asked coldly, "Which god do you believe in?"

John replied simply, "Horus, of course, the great patron saint of the Eju Empire, and the Virgin Isis...... and he said the names of a series of gods.

After he finished speaking, Amon asked unhurriedly, "What gods are you referring to when you say that those miners are cursed and exiled by the gods today?"

John was stunned, but Blanca realized that something was wrong, and replied stubbornly: "This is just an unintentional statement, and Mr. Amon does not need to pursue it." ”

Amon bit the topic, turned to Blanca and asked, "Captain John doesn't know, you're a magician, you should know." I'm not going to pursue it, but I just want to ask me clearly, please answer me. ”

Blanca's cold sweat flowed down his face, and he had to answer, "It is the gods of the Anunnakai gods, the gods of Hatt, Baron, and Assyria." Actually, I don't know much about the legend of the miners in Duketown, but I just heard people talk about it by chance. ”

Amon turned to John again with a straight face, and said, "Do you want to betray your faith or treason when you curse the people around you with foreign gods?"

The calm words were heavier than the incomparably powerful mine hammer just now, and John, who had just calmed down, couldn't sit still anyway, so he quickly got up and knelt down and saluted: "Mr. Amon, this is my fault, and I will never dare to say the same thing again in the future!"

Amon also stood up, looked at him and said, "Noble warriors, even if they are cursed by the gods, you are not a foreign god, so it should not be your curse...... If I tell the temple of Isis what happened here, I wonder what will happen?"
