202. The day of leaving the gods
Amun was gone, and the people no longer felt the gaze of Amun in the temple of the city-state of Salem, and he no longer listened to the call of the faithful. At the most complicated and critical moment in the struggle for the plain of Duk, in the admiration, praise and expectation of thousands of people, Amon left here. It was not only the man who left, but his mind also disappeared, and the avatar of the god on the altar seemed to have entered a closed slumber.
At that time, everyone in the temple did not know what was happening, and Link rushed to the Garden of Eden and saw a confused Medanzo. When Amon left, Medanzo didn't know, he was meditating in his cave, a long hiss of pain woke him up, and he was almost not swallowed up by the sudden disturbance of the spirit world in the tumbling of blood and blood, and he quickly came out of the cave only to hear that Amon and Gabriel were gone, and Perran Rose and Moses did not know what was happening.
Link was a little flustered, he had been confident in everything he had done for so long, but for the first time at this time, he had lost his backbone and was a little panicked and overwhelmed.
The disciples searched for days like headless flies in the valley of the Eudes and the plains of Duk, but found no trace of Amun or heard of him. In desperation, George convened a secret meeting in the city of Salem, they did not know what emergency had happened to the god Amun, but now without the help of God Amun, it was up to the people of Salem to face the future themselves.
God Amun has given guidance not to lose faith because of his departure!
The Anu Legion of the Hati Kingdom is about to enter the Duk Plain through the Black Fire Swamp, and the news of Amun's departure must be kept tightly sealed, otherwise it will cause unrest in the hearts of the people of the city-state. The conflict and friction between the city of Salem and the city of Enriel in the north continued, and no one could escape.
Having lost his strength and facing a test, Medanzo walked out of the Garden of Eden and volunteered to go far away to find Amon's whereabouts, and he guessed that Amon might have gone to Eju. Link said worriedly: "You have lost your strength, this trip is very dangerous, it is better to let me go." ”
Medanzo shook his head and said, "You can't leave the city of Salem now, and I am the chief of the disciples of the god Amun, and I should also go to find the whereabouts of the god Amun." Although I can't use mana, I'm still a strong samurai, and with my advanced martial arts and perfect physique, I'm stronger than ordinary mid-level samurai. I think that back then, I was just a fourth-level warrior, and I crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to smuggle horse leather steel embryos into your tribe, don't I dare to travel far now?"
Link, desperate to know Amon's whereabouts, agrees to allow Medanzo to disguise himself as a merchant and join Theo's caravan on his way to distant Eju. Before setting off, Medanzo made one last effort to find information from Amon. He asked Link to secretly convey Aroha's oracle as an oracle, and asked the miners of Duk Town to build a shrine and hold a ceremony to summon the gods.
The miners of Duk worshipped their only god, Aroha, and when they arrived in the city of Salem, they set up the large tent in the clearing, and made a temporary shrine in the tent with a gold plate with the ten covenants written on it. Aesop ordered them to build houses and agreed to build their own temple in the city, but soon the war began, and the construction was delayed.
At this moment, the main body of the temple was quickly completed, and the altar was not dedicated to the idol of Aroha, but a bright cross symbolizing the brilliance of Aroha. When the main temple was completed, the Twelve Judges summoned their people to hold a ceremony to summon the gods, and Link, George, John, and others all hid in the dark to watch. Disappointingly, Amon did not descend to incarnate on the altar.
Did Amon really abandon the city of Salem and his people?
Medanzo set out to find Amun, but he was not able to leave. That night, Link prayed to the idol of Amun, and no longer felt the unwavering gaze he had been looking at for a long time, and he suddenly felt a sense of weakness, and his mana seemed to have disappeared with the departure of Amun.
Coincidentally, when Medanzo was packing up at night wearing a soft armor and a sharp blade, he inadvertently waved the short blade made of the fangs of the two-headed monster snake, and only to hear the familiar roar of the monster again, and his mana was actually restored at this time!
Medanzo passed the test inexplicably, with the eighth-level achievement of the Origin Power, and Link's test came at the same time. Medanzo had no choice but to replace Link and stay in the city of Salem, and Link planned to replace Medanzo and go to Eju, but was stopped by the crowd, and Medanzo forced him to go to the Garden of Eden as the head of the disciples.
Medanzo, who has passed the test, looks back at his experience, and understands in his heart that the test that Link is facing is not simple, and the chance is related to the disappearance of God Amun, I am afraid that it will take the day when God Amun returns, and Link can break through the obstacle in his heart and have an eighth-level achievement.
Link finally agreed to go to the Garden of Eden to cultivate, because everyone heard the voice of the goddess Mu Yun in time. The goddess Mu Yun finally spoke on the altar, and she told everyone the shocking news - something happened to Eju, and the patron saint of the temple of Isis ordered everyone to leave the temple and launch a storm of destruction to kill the demons that had descended on the earth.
This is the official announcement issued by the Eju official to the people, and it is also recorded in the annals of the Eju, and the people have infinite respect for this holy woman, and they have expressed their remembrance in various ways. Of course, such a big thing cannot be covered up, and the Eju official must give the people an acceptable explanation, so this is the kind of statement.
However, the goddess Mu Yun told Medanzo and the others that Maria was not using the scroll to kill the demon who had descended to the temple, but the archangel Seth, who was now enshrined in the Eju Empire. Seth did not die, but was seriously injured and fled back to the kingdom of God, and will never reappear in the short term, and if Amon wants to seek revenge on Seth, it is absolutely impossible to find him.
I finally knew what was going on, and I am afraid that this is the only thing in the world that can make Amon rush out of the Garden of Eden like crazy. This young man, who has always looked like a god, has a broken heart. Even if the disciples found him, they would not be able to comfort him. Now that Goddess Mu Yun has heard about this, perhaps only this god can find and comfort Amun.
...... Gabriel also saw everything in the light and shadow of the pupil of the earth, and when the storm of destruction unfolded, the shadow vanished, and Amon shook to the ground, spurting blood from his mouth and letting out a long hiss that shook the Garden of Eden, and then flew out. By the time Gabriel chased him out of the Garden of Eden, Amon had long since disappeared.
Gabriel was a warrior who had witnessed many sacrifices and deaths, and was ready to do so at any time. When she left Eju, she knew in her heart what Mary was doing, but she didn't expect it to be the result. At this point, when he finally understood why Mary had written that letter to her, Gabriel remembered what Mary had said in the letter: "Now that you have seen this letter, you may have passed the test, and you will face another choice." Amon will make a ransom demand that the Eju Empire simply cannot accept, and you will become his prisoner of war, and after the Eju Empire officially refuses, he will release you and set you free. What kind of guidance will you receive in your faith at that time?
I know your belief so well that I don't have to change it, and I know your belief in the gods, which is the radiance of your heart. I want you to find the true source of God's surname and accept that glorious guidance. Finally, I would like to ask you for a favor, and if Amon is sad and heartbroken one day, please protect him as you once protected me. ”
Gabriel, who has always been strong and not afraid of life and death, was already in tears at this time, and her first thought was to rush to Eju. But what can they do when they rush to Eju? The light and shadow displayed by the Pupil of the Earth ended when the Storm of Destruction unfolded, and neither Amon nor Gabriel knew what happened next, nor did they know if Seth was still alive, and the archangel was likely to have perished with Mary.
If that's the case, you can't find a partner if you want revenge, it's the most heartbreaking torture!
The storm of destruction has begun, and it is impossible for Maria to still be there, but Amon must go to Monfilth himself to be willing! He will also confirm Seth's whereabouts, and if Seth is still alive, Amon will definitely seek revenge on this god!
Gabriel shares the same idea as Amun, if Seth is not dead, she must kill the god with her own hands, but she has another mission, which Maria has long told her to do - she must find and protect the heartbroken Amun.
Gabriel has already comprehended the power of the Origin, but comprehension is not the same as possession, she is an eighth-level great warrior and needs to re-verify her cultivation. Fortunately, there was a foundation for the second awakening of power before, and the power of the source was very fast, and now he has a sixth-level achievement in divine arts, and he can fly through the shuttle.
Amon had given her a shuttle to travel in the Garden of Eden, and she had harnessed it to chase after him. After chasing Amon for a day and a night without seeing him, and after regaining his composure in grief, Gabriel was also thinking about how to find Amon. In her opinion, it was indeed too cruel for Mary to let Amun see that scene with her own eyes.
The Holy Maiden has always cared for General Amun, silently caring, selfless help, but silently but with ten thousand tenderness. In the end, Amon saw that scene, and I am afraid that even Maria herself did not think that the pupil of the earth should not have been used like that.
Thinking carefully about what Mary said to Seth, it was a very important message to Amun. One is that if the gods don't want to meet mortals, mortals can't see them at all, no matter how good you are. The second is that if you are locked in battle, the gods cannot leave this world at will.
To deal with a transcendent deity, it is necessary to force him to appear, and to be close enough to lock it in with powerful mana. If Seth hadn't died and Amon wanted revenge, would Seth give him this chance?
If you want to destroy the gods, the best prerequisite is to become a god who is beyond eternal life yourself—this is the last testimony that Mary left to Amun.
...... Gabriel didn't know where to go to find Amon, but she first had to find out what was going on in the Eju Empire, and she could do it in her own way. The great warrior returned to the territory of Aegü alone, and first "met" Rod Dick.
Rod Dick was woken up in his sleep by Gabriel in his bedroom in the City Lord's Mansion. The lord of the city was so frightened that he almost fell out of bed, but the woman who accompanied him had been sleeping deeply, apparently fainted by Gabriel. The great warrior sat in the darkness, holding a battle axe with a glimmer of lightning.
Rod Dick was relieved when he recognized her, he had not offended Gabriel, and she had no reason to stab him, so he asked tremblingly in his bed, "Lord Gabriel, why are you suddenly here?"
Gabriel stretched out his hand and stroked the battle axe, and replied with a blank face: "Lord of the city, the guards of your mansion should be strengthened, if I were an assassin, you would have been in a different place. Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you what happened in the city?"
As soon as she arrived in Eju, she came to Rod Dick, the lord of the promontory has always been well-informed, and the decrees of the Eju Empire will be delivered to the lords of the city-states as soon as possible, and there are some things that ordinary people cannot know. Rod Dick understood as soon as he heard this, and quickly replied, "Are you here for the business of the Holy Maiden? ”
The guardian of the temple of Isis, the Virgin Mary, received an oracle from the archangel Seth, bringing a terrifying demon to the earth, bringing disaster to the city of Memphel. The Holy Maiden then ordered the priests of the temple and the people of the city-state to retreat three miles away from the main temple and destroy the demons with the power bestowed by the gods when they came.
This is an official announcement from Eju. According to internal information from the royal capital, Pharaoh Elahet will also posthumously confer the title of Holy Maiden Mary as the chief high priest of the empire, and enshrine her in the main temple of the empire, which is the highest honor that a hero of the empire can enjoy. This decree has not yet been published, as Elahet intends to announce another thing.
The main temple of Isis was destroyed, and Elahet intended to rebuild it, but instead of building the original temple, he built the temple of Seth on its original site, making Seth the new patron saint of royal power in Lower Eju, to commemorate this momentous event. Erahet gave Maria the highest glory in the history of the Empire, and the brilliance of the patron saint of the Temple of Isis reached its climax, but the mission of its successive generations also came to an end at the hands of Mary.
After listening to this, Gabriel asked again, "Lord Dick, do you really believe that it was a demon who descended on the temple of Isis?"
It may also be that the night air is too cold, Rod Dick couldn't help but shiver, and lowered his voice: "According to the gossip from Monfils, the last person the Holy Maiden has ever seen is the Dragon Warrior. She told the Dragons to send the Isis Legion to stand guard away from the temple, and no one was to approach it. Several of the high priests of the temple had also said privately that the scene on the side of the main temple was clearly a storm of destruction.
As far as I know, in the past hundred years, Nero has been the only one on the continent who has succeeded in crafting a Storm of Destruction, and General Amon has obtained Nero's relics. With the relationship between the Great General and the Holy Maiden, it is entirely possible that he gave this Storm of Destruction to the Holy Maiden.
I heard that the Holy Maiden had just been promoted to a ninth-level Great Divine Sorcerer not long ago, and she had an incomparably powerful Holy Maiden Scepter, if she wanted to deal with any demon, would she still need to launch a storm of destruction and sacrifice herself? No matter how powerful that demon was, she could summon all the High Priests of the Temple of Isis and even the Isis Legion to besiege her, without having to take action herself. So some people talk about ......"
Rod Dick stopped talking at this point, and Gabriel took over and said, "So there is talk that the Holy Maiden wants to destroy a god! ”
Rod Dick shuddered again: "These are just private discussions, and no one dares to say it." But at that time, many people heard a long hiss, and saw a figure rushing into the sky and fleeing. ”
Gabriel was taken aback, stood up and asked, "Is that man not dead?"
Rod Dick: "No one can see who it is, so it's hard to guess, but I'm afraid the only ones who can escape from the Storm of Destruction are the gods...... Lord Gabriel, I have told you everything I know, both what to say and what not to say. ”
Gabriel realized that he had walked to the edge of the bed with his tomahawk in hand, and this frame scared Rod Dick. She sighed and put away her battle axe, looked at Rod Dick and said, "Seven years ago, it was you and I who sent Maria to Monfils, and in order to make her a saint, we also took her to Duk Town to find the Tears of the Gods. Remember Mary back then, she was just a child, we sent her, and we also have our responsibility. ”
The first person Gabriel came to find was Rod Dick, not only to inquire about the news, but also to remember Mary, and there was indescribable sadness and emotion in his soul. Imagine that she was also alone, and traveled thousands of miles to the city-state of the headland to protect the candidate of the Holy Maiden, Maria, and later, under the persuasion of Rod Dick, she went to Duk Town to find the Tears of the Gods.
The first time Gabriel saw Maria, he thought she was supposed to be the patron saint of the Temple of Isis, and Rod Dick really found the Tears of the Gods. From the very beginning, Gabriel felt that it was his duty to protect the Holy Maiden, not only because of his status as the Grand Samurai of the Temple, but also because of Rod Dick, who was also involved in the incident.
There is also a very special episode in this incident, at the time, there seemed to be a person who seemed insignificant, but played a role in determining the surname, it was Amun, a child from the town of Duk, who mined the tears of the gods. Mary thus became a saint, and Amun was punished for "privately" offering the sacred stone and was forced to leave his hometown, so he could get Nero's relics and have so many encounters.
Rod Dick also let out a long sigh and lowered his head, and after a long time said, "Lord Gabriel, do you need me to do anything?"
