Raphael explains: "It is not easy to understand, because many people do not understand the difference between fantasy, ideal, and delusion. My teacher, Gore, taught me to prove it myself, and I can tell you how I feel. Commoners without power often fantasize about becoming an emperor, which is not unrealizable, because there are emperors in the world. But if everyone thinks so, it is delusional rather than ideal.

The true ideal is that whether you can become an emperor or not, you have to realize what is the master of your heart when you have such thoughts. I have seen many kings, countless commoner delusional kings, in their hearts may not be as happy as you, the ironclad beast, and they also have their own fantasies, and the original surname will not change because of their status. ”

Raphael was silent for a moment when he said this, looked down at Yun Meng, and saw that this ironclad beast had been silently thinking about something, he suddenly asked, "Yun Meng, why are you asking me this today?"

Yun Meng seemed to wake up from a dream, came back to his senses and replied: "Because God Amun said to me that my cultivation accumulation is already enough, and I have passed many tests, but if I want to have a seventh-level achievement to integrate my body and mind, it may be very simple or difficult for me, and I need a kind of sudden enlightenment guidance, just like opening my eyes and seeing a bright light." The person who can guide me to open my eyes may not necessarily be him. ”

Raphael asked, "When did Amon say that to you?"

Yunmeng: "It's just a few days ago on the way here, when you followed behind, he whispered to me, so I'm going to ask you today, please tell me your understanding and feelings." ”

Raphael's expression became serious: "My teacher Golie once asked me a question - what is the greatest delusion of mortals?"

Yun Meng blurted out: "Of course, it is to become a god-like existence. ”

Raphael nodded, "Yes, that's the answer." For the vast majority of people, this is just a delusion, but gods exist! So what is the true meaning of the divine surname contained in the human surname? We live in the world around us, and we also live in our own thoughts. Don't look at life according to what you have, your ideal is your path, and what kind of life you are depends on how you look at life. It is pointless to think only about being like a god, and the real meaningful question is how a god became a god......"

Raphael looked at the moon and was explaining, and suddenly heard Yun Meng say again: "Thank you, let me understand when I hear it!"

Raphael replied casually: "You're welcome, these are the teachings of the teacher, and I am personally verifying their meaning, and today I will just tell you my understanding." ...... Well, how did your voice change?"

While speaking, Raphael suddenly realized that Yunmeng's voice was wrong, it was no longer an exchange of information in the soul, it was directly in the ear, and it became a soft woman's voice, which was very comfortable to listen to. He immediately turned his head to look, and was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, his face turned red, and he quickly lowered his head and whispered, "You, you...... I don't wear a piece of clothing!"

The huge ironclad beast was gone, and there was a slender woman sitting in the moonlight, about ten years old, with long golden-brown hair, her face was very delicate and even a little bewitching, her cheekbones were slightly high, her lips were slightly thick, and her eye sockets were slightly deep, but her facial features had a unique charm, and she was a beautiful woman with exquisite personality. What's even worse is that she is naked at the moment, and her body under the moonlight shows the most primitive and natural beauty.

Hearing Raphael's words, the woman suddenly reacted and said in a shy tone: "I forgot, I didn't pay attention for a while." She stood up and spun around, put on a very common linen dress, and said, "I didn't scare you when the clothes are on, right?"

Of course, this woman will not be someone else, it is the appearance of Yunmeng's transformation into Chengren, she is indeed inexperienced, it is the first time in her life, and even she feels very sudden. Raphael turned his head to look at it again, and hurriedly twisted his head and said: "Your dress, ordinary people don't look flawed, but in front of high-level information magic, it still means that you don't wear anything." ”

Yun Meng asked: "It's equivalent to wearing nothing? You deliberately peeked at me! You are a great magician, of course you can use high-level information magic, in the face of the clever detection magic, does it make a difference whether ordinary people wear clothes or not? You know everything you hide!"

Raphael, the great magician who was still talking eloquently just now, was a little knotted at this moment: "I, I don't! Just to remind you, detect divine detection items, that, that's different from this situation." Your clothes are just a disguise of information magic, and you have to use mana at all times...... I'm sorry, I forgot you didn't have any clothes with you in the first place. ”

Yun Meng's face was also red, fortunately she couldn't see it too clearly in the moonlight, she turned around and said, "Look at it again, what about now?"

Raphael cautiously turned his head to look at it, and exclaimed slightly: "It's a suit of armor!"

I saw that under the illusionized linen robe on Yun Meng's body, another close-fitting dark gold soft armor appeared. Yun Meng smiled and said, "You forgot, I am an ironclad beast, and changing this armor is a natural ability, which is very useful in battle, and can also be worn as clothes in ordinary times." ”

Raphael asked, "Why has your voice changed?"

Yun Meng walked into the tent and sat beside Raphael, and explained a little embarrassedly: "I have never spoken, don't you think that the voice I used to communicate with you was a bit similar to Link and Amun God?

Raphael nodded, "That's good." ”

Yunmeng: "It's really good, it's fake?"

Raphael replied earnestly: "That's good...... Is this the first time you've changed like this?"

Yun Meng looked at the moon and let out a sigh of relief: "I didn't change like this, I am like this now, if there is any difference between me and an ironclad beast, this is the difference, years of cultivation to the point, just like the transformation of those insects in the mountains." God Amun said that it may be difficult or easy for me to take this step, and now I finally understand. No wonder he wanted to drain me of my strength and let you stay to protect me, it turns out that the god Amun had expected it. So I want to thank you for pointing me out!"

Raphael touched his chin a little embarrassed: "Don't say that, it's because your cultivation has accumulated enough, at this moment, it's like gently opening a window and seeing the light, and when you look back, you suddenly realize that the moon has always been there." ”

Yun Meng muttered to himself, "Yes, the moon has always been there, it turns out to be so beautiful, it feels so good." As she spoke, she couldn't help but lean on Raphael's shoulder, she was born as a mutant Iron Armored Beast King, and her body sense was very keen, and then she asked: "Raphael, half of your body suddenly tightened, as if you had found some enemy, did I make you so nervous?"

Raphael hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, it's just that you suddenly became like this, and I was a little uncomfortable for a while. ”

Yun Meng asked again, "You don't like me being close to you?"

Raphael: "No. ”

Yunmeng: "Then why did you react like you were secretly on guard?"

Raphael's brain was sweating when she asked, and he explained: "The body's reaction is indeed similar, but the situation is different. A lot of people's habits and reactions are complex, and you still need to learn how to experience and separate, and I'm nervous not because I don't like you sitting here. ”

Yunmeng: "But I always think you're a little weird now, different from the other day. ”

Raphael said helplessly: "You are not the same now as the other day." Before he finished speaking, the young great magician suddenly spoke, and the muscles in his whole body tightened imperceptibly.

Yun Meng said with some grievances: "You obviously don't like it, this is the reaction when there is danger, am I dangerous to you?"

Raphael didn't speak, but said in his soul: "Be careful, the Divine Array seems to have a sense just now, and the power of the touch is very weak, could it be that someone is secretly spying on it?"

Yun Meng was taken aback, and immediately communicated with the information magic technique: "Is there really an enemy? Why don't I feel it, no, my reaction is more sensitive than yours." ”

Raphael: "I'm running a magic array, and Amun laid it before leaving, and the detection range covers the surrounding swamps, which is certainly stronger than your natural senses. There was indeed a fluctuation just now, very faint but with mana, I shouldn't be mistaken. ”

Yunmeng: "Could it be that the mutated monsters in the swamp passed by accidentally?"

Raphael frowned, "Maybe, but it's better to be careful." ”

Yun Meng smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'm the king of the swamp, I can protect you if you encounter any enemies here!"

Raphael smiled bitterly, "The Lord of the Swamp? No, you should be the Goddess of the Swamp, the patron goddess of the Black Fire Swamp. Looking at you now, I wouldn't be surprised if people called you that in the legends of the future. Now I'm protecting you, and your strength hasn't been restored. ”

Yun Meng shook his arm: "My recovery speed is fast, which is also a talent. ”

Raphael: "Your physical strength has recovered, but the mana recovery can't be so fast, it has nothing to do with talent, you still need to rest for a while and continue on the road to be safe." As soon as he said this, he suddenly stood up, drew his staff, looked up and shouted, "What man!"

"It's me, John, ...... Amun God asked me to come" An answer came from mid-air, John retracted the shuttle before he landed, jumped in front of the tent, and then was stunned: "Raphael, where is Yunmeng? ...... this girl again?"

Yun Meng stood up and pulled Raphael's sleeve, blinked his eyes and said, "I am the goddess of the swamp, the legendary patron saint of the Black Fire Swamp, don't you know me?"

John touched his head: "What legend, why haven't I heard of it?"

Yun Meng replied with a smile: "The legends that Raphael told just now, those legends in the world, maybe that's how they circulate." ”

John looked at her for a long time, then frowned and asked Raphael: "God Amun asked you to protect Yunmeng here, and also asked me to come over, but you are with this woman, Yunmeng, why are you not protecting it?"

Yun Meng interjected: "Yun Meng is here, John, you try to find her!"

John was a little puzzled, so he could only glare at Raphael, who gestured with his eyes and quietly stretched out his hand to the woman next to him. John suddenly realized something, his jaw was about to fall off, his eyes were round, and it took a long time to react and say, "Yunmeng! is it really you?"

Yun Meng stood there and twisted his body: "It's me, you only recognize it?"

John rubbed his eyes: "I didn't recognize it at all, I guessed! You are really the goddess of the swamp, in the blink of an eye, the ironclad beast has become a great beauty!"

Yunmeng giggled, not to mention how happy she was, John and Raphael both watched her laugh from the sidelines. Yun Meng finished laughing before asking, "John, why did you come here, is there something wrong with God Amun?"

John rubbed his eyes again and nodded, "Of course there is something, there is a monster that stabbed the god Amun halfway, and was injured by the god Amun and fled into the swamp. The god Amun was afraid that it would not be safe here, so he sent me here. ”

Raphael and Yun Meng were both taken aback, and Raphael said: "This person is so capable that he can escape under Amon!" Yun Meng shouted: "This person is so bold that he dares to assassinate the god Amun!"

John explained: "The origin of this man is indeed not simple, but he should be at his weakest now, and there will be no threat for the time being, but God Amun is still not at ease. Sit down and talk, and I'll tell you the details. ...... Yunmeng, seeing you like this, I really didn't feel comfortable, and I almost forgot what I was here for. ”

...... Three days later, Amon finally walked out of the Black Fire Swamp, the winding path that stretched from the southernmost part of the swamp to the eastern edge, exiting closest to the city of Salem. Link and Aesop are waiting here, and the city of Salem is now home to wanderers from all over the continent, cavemen from various tribes in the mountains, and some plateau giants who have migrated to the plains.

Aesop picks the strongest craftsmen among them and builds a fortress here. Amun wanted to open a trade route, but he did not want anyone to invade the city of Salem through this road, so he built a fortress at the end of this narrow road, not only as a post for caravans to rest and replenish, but also the terrain here was suitable for garrisons.

Half of the fortress's walls stretched into the swamp, dug deep into the mud to the rock formations, and then built with boulders, which are only halfway up to construction. When Amun walked through the city gates, the craftsmen of Salem were busy with nervousness, and when they heard that he was coming, they put down their work and knelt down in the clearing.

The scene was grand and spectacular, which made Amon feel slightly embarrassed. Although he was worshipped as a god in the tribe of cavemen and savages, after getting along for a long time, everyone was not so exaggerated. He immediately reacted, Link had built a temple in the city of Salem, and the gods on the altar were like him and the goddess Mu Yun. In the minds of the people of Salem, he is not a god, but a god!

Now that such a big living person as Amun suddenly came to his eyes, to these people, it was the gods who were performing miracles! What kind of miracles did the god Amun show? Alone in the impassable black fire swamp, he opened up such a winding and long road, which is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, it is a miracle!

Amon waved his hand lightly, and countless soft white light curtains fell in mid-air, gently sprinkling on everyone. This is a mid-level prayer technique, which can eliminate fatigue and pain, make people feel uplifted and refreshed, and the mid-level sorcerer can perform it. However, Amon did not use a magic staff at his fingertips, his magic power was strong, and the scope of divine magic was very large, and this was a blessing from the gods for everyone. Everyone prostrated on the ground and prayed, not even daring to breathe.

Amon could feel the thoughts of these people in front of him, very focused and sincere, and their work was very tiring, so he naturally performed the blessing magic technique. Aesop and Link in front of them also smiled and saluted on the ground, as if they had expected this scene for a long time.

I saw that behind everyone, there were two people standing in the distance, which seemed so dazzling at this time. One of them bowed down with a staff in his hand, and his expression was a little strange, it was George, the high priest of the Temple of Isis. The other person stood straight with his hand on the hilt of the sword, looking at Amon expressionlessly, with a tall posture and a beautiful face, exuding an indescribable majestic aura from top to bottom, it was the great warrior Gabriel.

Amon felt a little bitter in his heart, and met an unexpected assassin in the swamp, but the person who should have really assassinated him was waiting here. As Goret had already said, the pursuers sent by the Eju Empire were George and Gabriel, the last people he wanted to be enemies of. It was like fate had to face it sooner or later, so Amon had to sigh and walk over.

The voice of the god Amun was heard in the souls of all the people who bowed to the ground: "The road through the Black Fire Swamp has been opened, and the official trade route will arrive here in two months." You have worked hard to build your home, and the faith in your hearts is a true blessing, so keep working. ”

Amon quietly instructed Aesop to lead the craftsmen to continue their work, leaving Link to follow. Everyone got up, lowered their heads and slowly dispersed with awe, and Link followed behind him and whispered: "These two people came to Salem City to look for you, and later heard that you would be here, so they came to wait. I know they are your friends and benefactors, but I've also heard that the pursuers sent by Eju are ......"

Amon interrupted him: "I know everything and will solve it, they are the guests of the city of Salem, and they cannot be neglected. ”

Link: "Of course I know that, I've always been careful to receive them well, and let them come when they want to come." Thirty-six of your guards are in ambush in the house next to you, and I will be with you, so there will be no problem. ”

Amon waved his hand and said, "Don't let others interfere, I'll handle my affairs, let's find a place where no one is there to talk first." ”

As he spoke, he had already walked through the clearing and approached, Amon bowed down and said, "Two adults, I haven't seen you for a long time, and it's been hard to come from afar! ”
