204. Let me make mistakes
A huge tail with bone spurs suddenly stretched out from the void, and swept silently towards Gabriel's back, only to let out the whistling wind when it was close. Gabriel couldn't dodge, and she didn't want to dodge at all, the light from the blade of order was so sharp that it swept over the tip of the tail that nearly hit the back of her head.
I heard a cry of pain, and the extremely hard tail was actually cut off a little and flew away, this axe was too sharp! The long tail suddenly retracted and disappeared in pain, and Gabriel snorted and rushed forward, coming to Sobek and swinging his axe. This is a contest between samurai, a hard-hitting impact of energy and power, with no room for dodge.
Sobek swung his long whip to hold the battle axe, and the two powerful weapons struck each other like two mountains colliding in the air, and the echo over the Ronnie River was endless. The force of the impact caused both of them to fly backwards, landing on both sides of the Ronnie River. Sobek's face was ugly, and after landing on the ground, he picked up the injured Hequet and turned to leave, flying close to the ground and soon disappeared.
With Gabriel's might, holding the blade of order alone against either Hequet or Sobek will not suffer, but it will definitely not resist the two joining forces. But today's situation is a bit peculiar, these two oracles are chasing after them from the distant source of the Ronnie River, Amun is exhausted and falls into the clouds, and they are also at the end of their crossbows. Gabriel suddenly rushed out, and the two of them couldn't resist it, and immediately fled when they saw that the situation was not good.
Gabriel landed on the bank of the river and finally saw Amun. Amon fell unconscious with his long hair scattered, and stretched out a hand to grasp something, but only the muddy water on the ground, his clothes were tattered and dirty, and even his hair was tied together. Gabriel glanced at the other side and knew that the two oracles had fled, and she didn't dare to stay here for a long time, this was the place of the Eju Nine Divine System, and if there would be more oracles chasing her, she would leave with Amon immediately.
...... How could Amon appear in this place, and he was also hunted down by the Nine Divine Envoys? In the past six months, he has wandered around Eju, and once he was in a state of seeming to be awake but not awake, frantically looking for Mary, who is long gone, and his heartache is always with him. When he came to his senses, he tried to go to Seth again, but the last message left by Mary already stated one thing, as long as the gods did not want to see mortals, mortals could not find him.
Amon was unwilling to accept all this, and his tenacious surname had now become a kind of stubbornness, and he actually went to the distant Nine Links Divine Palace. The location of the Nine Divine Palaces is very secret, and if no one leads the way, it will not be discovered at all, but Amon knows the secret of this Divine Palace in Schrödinger's soul imprint.
The Nine Links Divine Palace is not the real residence of the Nine Links Heavenly Gods, only Horus used to live here for many years, and its geographical scope is very large, and it is also the usual place for many gods to cultivate. The Nine Divine Palaces are separated by a large array of space divine arts, and Amon can't attack it no matter how great his ability is, but he knows where the portal is.
He flew into the shrine with Osiris's ribs, the ribs of the god of the underworld itself were an artifact, carrying the imprint and breath of Osiris, unfolding like an invisible space ship. After Amon had a ninth-level achievement, he could fly this big ship, and he opened the portal and entered the Nine Divine Palace directly, without even attracting the attention of many divine envoys.
The most heavily guarded place is often the most laxly guarded, it is impossible for outsiders to enter and exit the Nine Divine Palace, and all the divine envoys usually practice in their respective palaces in addition to performing tasks, so there is one more person between such a vast heaven and earth, if you don't deliberately search, no one really finds out.
Amon wandered like a ghost in the magical mountains, looking for Seth, but Seth wasn't here. Best is long gone, but her palace is still there, abandoned in a deep valley, empty on all sides. Amon crashed headlong into Best's palace back then, and only then did he fully regain his consciousness and realize that he might have done the most daring thing in the world, how did he run into the Nine Divine Palace?
There are dozens of oracles in this palace, and if they are discovered, Amon will be able to fall into the net! But Amon did not sneak out as quietly as he did when he entered, and he did not give up his original intention of seeking revenge on Seth. Whether the Nine Divine Gods were present or not, the Nine Divine Palaces were still reserved for them in the Valley of the Heavenly Gods in the very center of the Nine Divine Palace.
These nine palaces are arranged in an arc at the foot of the mountain. Horus is the tenth transcendent god of the Nine Divine Systems, and his palace is in the center of the nine palaces, symbolizing the status of the main god.
Ever since Horus lost his throne as the main god, the ten palaces in the Valley of the Celestials were empty, with only Seth occasionally visiting. But in normal times, there are still various divine envoys who regularly inspect, and the nine-link divine mirror, which watches all the subtle movements of the entire divine palace, has been placed in Seth's palace at this moment. Through this mirror, the oracle can directly call to Seth, and Seth can also issue his own orders.
Since Amon had entered the Nine Divine Palace, he simply ventured into Seth's palace, he wanted to hide in this grand palace and wait for the opportunity to assassinate Seth. That Celestial God was seriously injured and fled to the Divine Kingdom, and he would definitely not show up easily, but after all, he was the main god of the Nine Divine Sect, and he would return to this place one day. Who would have thought that Amun would be waiting in his palace, which was the most favorable environment for his assassination!
But Seth didn't come back for a long time, and even the divine envoys in the Nine Divine Palaces didn't know where the main god had gone. Amon didn't deliberately hide when he entered the Nine Divine Palace, but miraculously he wasn't discovered, and when he wanted to hide, he was unexpectedly pulled out.
Because the Eju Empire was going to build the Temple of Seth on the site of the Temple of Isis in the City of Monfils, the envoys came to the palace to report to Seth through the Nine Divine Mirrors, and when they ran the Divine Mirror, they swept the situation of the Nine Divine Palaces, and found that outsiders had sneaked in, and they were hiding in Seth's palace!
Amon stabbed the hornet's nest this time, and at that time, four divine envoys attacked him at the same time, and the fierce battle even destroyed Seth's palace, and the other divine envoys who were cultivating in the Nine Divine Palace were also alarmed and rushed to the battlefield one after another. Amon is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die here, he still has too much to do, and he struggles to open a way to rush out of the Nine Divine Palace before the gods encircle.
Seven or eight oracies chased after him, and Amon fought and retreated, flying thousands of miles southward, and most of the pursuing emissaries were thrown off by him, only Hequette and Sobek were still in hot pursuit. Amon broke out of the siege and fought fiercely all the way, and after repelling many oracles, he was seriously wounded, but he did not finally escape the pursuit, he was exhausted.
With the last of his strength, he flew to the place in his memory on the banks of the Ronnie River, but in fact, there was no need for Hequet and Sobek to make any more moves, and Amon fell into the clouds by himself. He struggled and fell on the beach where he had been unconscious, and his eyes turned black, as if countless golden lights flickered in the void, and every little golden light turned into the shadow of Mary.
Amon knew that his life was about to end, no matter how much regret and unwillingness he had, he didn't feel a trace of pain when he fell on the river beach, but only saw a piece of golden light coming in front of him. It felt so warm and happy, and he seemed to have returned to the warmest scene he had ever experienced in his life.
As Amon approached the end of his life, he struggled to fall here, and he searched for the origin of reincarnation. He should have died here, if nothing happened. That time, when he was rescued, he was still in a trance, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Aiko was becoming clearer and clearer from the haze, and the girl seemed to have come out of a memory, with a mysterious and mature noble temperament, Amon still looked directly into her eyes.
Amon once murmured, "Is it you, Aiko, you look so beautiful, exactly like I imagined, I finally saw you...... Am I dead? How can I see you here? This is not the gloomy Hades, is it another home for the soul?...... What the hell is this? What should I call it? If I had a name, could it be heaven?"
When he fell here again, a faint golden glow was seen in his coma, and Mary appeared before him again. Almost without thinking, Amon looked at her and said the same thing. Then he stood up and walked towards the golden glow, and with open arms he held Mary tightly in his arms, and bowed his head to kiss her lips, and the two seemed to melt into one in the golden light.
And what people saw Amun was throwing himself down in the muddy water, but he struggled to embrace the earth with open arms. After Gabriel repelled Hyquet and Sobek, the unconscious Amon was embracing Echo in his soul.
...... Amon had a long dream, in which he could be crazy or obsessed, probably to make up for the regrets of this life, and the content of the dream could be absurd or sweet, just like the delusion in his meditation when he broke through the seventh-level achievement.
Amon did the same thing as Bell back then, taking away the patron saint of the Temple of Isis, and being chased and killed by the gods of the Nine Gods of Eju, and he fled for the same purpose as Bell, or the huge hollow in the belly of the Eudi Valley. But it had become the Garden of Eden, and he repelled the pursuit of the angels and brought Mary back to the Garden of Eden.
Mary is no longer the patron saint of the temple of Isis, the temple in the distant city of Memphis has become the temple of Seth, and the legacy of Isis's patron saint has come to an end. Amon and Mary lived in the Garden of Eden for many, many years...... Until one day, he was awakened by Gabriel!
...... Gabriel woke up Amun, a month later. She took Amon to a mountainous region west of Eju, where monsters were crisscrossed by ravines and deep cliffs filled with caves of all sizes, where almost no one could find them. This is the place where Gabriel slain the monster years ago, and it is very hidden, and she brings the unconscious Amon to heal his wounds.
Survive the endless test of the ninth-level achievement with the origin power, in fact, he does not need to heal like ordinary people, his vitality seems to be endless, if there is no additional damage to damage his body, it just needs years to recover, as for other means or help, it will affect the speed of recovery and the degree of recovery.
Amon's injuries were not serious, he rushed out of the Nine Divine Palace as fast as he could, and the battle along the way was only to block the pursuers, but the loss was very large, and the exhaustion was like a depleted spring. On the other hand, if the soul is in eternal trouble, Amon may fall into a slumber forever until the end of that seemingly endless life.
Gabriel cast various healing spells on Amon, but he couldn't help him recover his losses, so he could only wait for Amon to be no longer so weak and wake him up. Amon woke up and lay there with his eyes open, looking at the rock wall at the top of the cave, and watched silently for a day and a night, while Gabriel sat at the mouth of the cave in the distance, also without saying a word.
A day later, Amon finally spoke, and it sounded like he was talking to himself: "It seems that I have had a dream, and I can't help but think about something after being woken up by you. If I had been like Bell back then, maybe I wouldn't be where I am today. Bell took away the saintess at that time, although it was that ending, but it should be what they were willing to bear. ”
Gabriel said: "With your achievements, you have already passed all the trials of the world, and you should not fall into this kind of thought, the world is a flowing river, and the foothold is the source, do not look back and assume." Even if you assume, it's impossible, Maria is not a green girl, she has her protection, she can't be taken away by you, and you can't force her will. ”
Amun sighed, "You're right, but those trials don't just last when they get through, they go throughout, and I now understand why gods who have transcended immortality have fallen?...... Did you save me, why did you end up in that place? What a coincidence!"
Gabriel: "It's not a coincidence, it's almost certain. Remember that before I duel with you, the Holy Maiden gave us a letter separately, in which she said that if one day you are sad and heartbroken, I hope I can protect you. I didn't understand why you needed my protection at the time, but today I don't know if I can't find you, so I'll go to that place by the Ronnie River, and if you're immersed in the memories, you'll go. ”
Amun: "She is no longer a saint, the goddess Isis and the patron saint of Isis are gone, for me she is Mary, Echo-Maria." ”
Gabriel was silent for a moment before asking, "What Maria let you see, up to the moment she unleashed the storm of destruction, may have been too cruel, but do you know why?"
Amon replied slowly, "I know that she wants to tell me a lot, including the testimony she gave me at the end. But that's not the main thing, it's more important that she knows me, knows me better than I know her. As long as this happens, I will definitely go crazy and ask all kinds of people in various places in Eju, and I will not be willing to be reconciled if I don't find out the situation at that time, that would be a great risk for me, so I might as well see it with my own eyes. ”
Gabriel nodded: "It should be like this, if you don't know what's going on, you'll turn Monfil upside down, and if you lose your mind as you, it's like sending you to death." But even so, you almost lost your life, what happened to those two messengers who tracked you down?"
Amon sat up and recounted his experience of breaking into the Nine Links Shrine. Gabriel was dumbfounded when he heard this, where is this what the always calm General Amon did, a stupid boy who has never seen the world will not be so stunned, he ran to the Jiulian Divine Palace to die, it is really great luck and ability to escape!
Gabriel finally turned around and asked, "You also broke into the Nine Divine Palace, and your life was almost sent, what are your plans next?"
Amon gritted his teeth and said: "Seth won't show up easily, I made such a big disturbance in the Nine Divine Palace, and even his palace was destroyed, he can still hold back and not appear, it seems that the injury is really not light, whether he can recover his peak is still a question." If I want to kill him, this is the best chance, and I can't let him recover calmly. ”
Gabriel couldn't help but remind, "You should also understand that if Seth doesn't want to see you, you can't find him!"
Amon raised his head, and his gaze seemed to look at the distant sky through the mountain rock: "I can find a way to force him to show up, even if I can't force him to show up, at least let him fall off the altar." ”
Gabriel also stood up: "This is not your style! Even if you want to do this, you must wait for yourself to regain your strength." Doing something like trespassing on the Nine Divine Palaces again is meaningless to seek death, and it is not something that Maria wants to see. ”
Amon stood up: "I know what to do, I will heal my injuries and recover my strongest strength, and then I will force Seth to appear, even if I disturb the Eju Empire, I will not let him feel better!"
Gabriel suddenly said very sadly: "You seem to have changed! Your current state is very weak, but the aura that you exude when you say these words is incomparably powerful. I'm sure you'll get stronger and stronger, but that's not the path you're pursuing, and the farther you go, the farther you go, the farther away you may be. ”
Amon suddenly said with some excitement: "Why can't I make mistakes? If this is wrong, then let me be wrong! One day I may have to return to that altar or pursue the realm of true transcendence of eternal life." But here and now, I am not the god Amun, I am not the great general, I am Amun!"
...... Rod Dick built a vigilant magic array for his mansion and strengthened guard patrols, and he has lived a very stable life for most of the past six months. Although he is not very old, as a hereditary city lord, he has lived in officialdom for a long time and almost never makes mistakes, he is very good at preparing for a rainy day, and he is not stingy with his own actions. Over the years, although he has not established the feats of national admiration like Goret or Amon, he has done no less, and his position in the city-state of the headland and the Egü Empire has become more and more secure, and he is almost irreplaceable as the lord of the city.
Seven months earlier, Gabriel had come to visit late at night, and Rod Dick had learned that General Amon had infiltrated the Eju Empire, and from a personal point of view, he was also worried about Amun, and at the same time sentimental about what had happened to Mary. Sometimes in the middle of the night, Rod Dick will sigh, feeling that it is in vain to cherish the ancient ambitions and do the blood boiling things, but after sighing, he still is the lord of his headland.
