303, playing the piano to Mongolia

A few dozen miles north of Macedonia, in the steep mountains, there is a relatively gentle open land on top of the cliffs, and there is almost no grass in the glade between the forests, except for a strange-shaped boulder. The duel where Apollo challenged Amon was here, and Medanzo followed the two gods here.

Along the way, Medanzo muttered in his heart, he didn't think that Apollo could defeat Amon, but he was also thinking about how much Amon's defeat of Apollo would cost?

Self-confidence is also a kind of capital, backed by strong strength. Among the twelve main gods of the Olympus god system today, Apollo's combat power is second only to Zeus, and he is also the most meritorious in the battle of the gods that year. In terms of the achievements of the gods, Apollo was a little worse than Amun, similar to the peak of the Creator.

The Olympian kingdom is different from other gods, and the achievements of the gods are also slightly different, and gods like Apollo can also attach to the kingdom of heaven to create their own world, and this world is unfolded. This is not because Apollo's achievements are higher, but because Zeus, the lord of heaven, is higher in his realm.

But such a "creator world" does not change the face of the kingdom of heaven, nor is it touched by other gods, but is just a landscape in the kingdom of Olympus. In Amun's kingdom of angels, there are also angels who have the achievements of the creator, such as Eah, the god of wisdom in the original Anunaqi system, who also had his own creator world.

When Amun fused with Anuna's kingdom of enlightenment, Ea became an archangel and his creator world was completely integrated with the kingdom of heaven, which was related to the vows made by the angels to join the kingdom of heaven, and also showed Amon's higher achievements.

In terms of realm analogy, Apollo is already equivalent to the peak of the creator, and he is a god known for his strong combat power, and his years of becoming a god are much older than Amon's, and he has a stronger accumulation. Apollo promised Amon to fight a duel as a warrior on earth, which was actually more beneficial to him.

If it is in the immortal eternity, Amun may have more subtle means, but the power of calculation is not as good, and he can also use other methods to promote his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. But on earth, the means of the gods will be limited, because this is not the world they created.

This battle was even more difficult for Amon, so Apollo appeared confident. Medanzo looked at Apollo's appearance and said to himself in his heart: "Duel like a samurai? You are looking for the wrong person if you compare your fists! Do you think you are a god who has passed the test of a samurai like Enqidu? Don't fight with Amun, it will scare you when you do it!"

While thinking so, Medanzo quietly asked Amun, "You have given all the powerful weapons to your disciples, do you need to take the key of destiny and use it?"

Amon smiled, "No, when I left the city of Salem, I brought with me the most handy guy." When you start your hand a while, you stand by with the Key of Destiny to prevent disturbing the outside world. If someone tries to plot against it, you should warn you in time. ”

Medanzo: "No one dares to hide and plot, the eyes of the gods are watching, but I will be careful." ”

When they came to the duel place, the two gods stood a hundred feet apart, this place was indeed dangerous, only the wind was howling on the high cliff, and between the two stood a strange boulder, and even the birds were nowhere to be seen. With the Key of Destiny in hand, Medanzo retreated to the edge of the mountain forest outside the clearing.

Apollo's white robe fluttered in the wind, and he reached out to straighten the clothes on his shoulders in a very dashing manner. As he moved, the howling wind suddenly stopped, and there was silence on the cliff, and he raised his eyes to Amon and said, "Are you ready? ”

Fools know that whoever strikes first in a head-on confrontation can have an advantage, and Apollo showed great self-confidence and let Amon strike first. Amon smiled and shook his head: "Apollo, you made a mistake, you challenged me instead of me challenging you, if you don't want to do it, admit defeat!"

A hint of anger appeared on Apollo's handsome face, and he picked up the harp and stretched out his hand, only to hear the sound of "Zheng", and a murderous aura swept in. The strange stones in the clearing twisted and wriggled under the shroud of light and shadow, and did not turn into pieces, but softened and fell silently, and disappeared like a stream of water.

Outside the clearing, Medanzo was taken aback, no wonder Apollo dragged it like this, and his shot was indeed amazing! The mana inspired by plucking the strings was accompanied by the most brilliant magic in the world. It is still an elemental magic, and it does not surpass the means that can be used by human magicians, but it is a combination of all elemental magic, and it can control all the forces in the environment.

If the person facing the sound of the piano is Medanzo, he can only wield the key of fate to protect his body, and everything around him will be shattered by Apollo, and there is no room to use magic to fight back. The strange stones in the clearing were scattered by the rippling sound waves, and it was like being wiped out by an invisible giant hand in an instant, and the impact of the piano had come to Amun's eyes.

Amun had the last boulder in front of him, the top flat and about waist-high, like a table or anvil. Amon stretched out a hand and pressed it against the stone face, and the boulder seemed to merge with his form, and the rippling impact dissipated here, and Amon was unharmed.

The first blow was silently defused, Apollo narrowed his eyes, his fingers kept plucking the strings, and one attack after another continued, accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano and attacked Amon. The sound of the strings is not dense, with a beautiful melody, Apollo's posture is very elegant, but the attacks from his hands are strong like waves.

Medanzo was secretly frightened as he watched from the sidelines, Apollo took the lead as soon as he made a move, and seemed to be playing the piano for a long time, but he had blocked all of Amon's return routes. Amon's situation has become a mana resistance, and he can't even fight back if he doesn't break the sound of the piano. This was the most disadvantageous for Amon, who knew what to do against him, despite his conceit.

Medanzo was a little anxious in his heart, Amon and Apollo duel, the most important thing should be to stand still and simply resist with mana. After all, Amun's time to become a god is very short, and this is his weakest link. Even if his powerful mana lasts for a long time and is not under Apollo, but Apollo uses the magical harp to deal with Amon with his bare hands, Amon can hold on to the back, and the result is also a lose-lose!

Just as Medanzo frowned, Amon also moved, his movements were too unexpected. I saw that this god grabbed it with his left hand, took out an oval pebble out of thin air, which was the core mined from the divine stone mine, and with a wave of his right hand, he drew a sledgehammer.

This hammer is not a divine weapon, it is a mining hammer used by the miners of Duke Town since ancient times, the hammer head forged by horse leather steel is slightly rough, but it is hard and heavy, and the wooden handle is very tough, infused by Amon's mana, faintly emitting a faint golden light. The hammer was taken with him when Amon left the city of Salem, and he had crafted it with his own hands in the newly built courtyard of his house.

The hammer and core were both placed in a space artifact, and they were taken out at this time. Medanzo knew the origin of the hammer, but he didn't know when Amon had brought the cores with him. Amon placed the cores on the boulder and struck them down. He didn't know how many times he had done this action when he was a teenager, and he was already extremely skillful, but the undisturbed completion at this moment also showed a powerful mana.

Under the sound of Apollo's piano, everything around is in chaos, and various elements seem to be broken and fused, and can change at will with the sound of Apollo's piano. As long as Amon reveals the slightest flaw, Apollo can control all kinds of attacks as he wants. The only ones in this battlefield who remained intact were Amon and the boulder in front of him.

The hammer fell, and only a "ding" sound was heard, which was not loud but echoed with a small hum for a long time, piercing through the sound of Apollo's lyre. The heavy hammer was like a fluttering feather in Amun's hand, and countless fine cracks appeared on the surface of the core that was harder than pig iron. The cracks staggered and stretched into dense clusters, and then turned into grayish-white powder.

The core of the ore shattered into powder and scattered around, falling from the boulder, and then disappeared into the storm of piano sound, leaving only a colorless and transparent divine stone on the boulder.

Apollo's squinting eyes in the distance suddenly opened, and a hint of gloom appeared on his face. The blow that Amon swung the hammer from just after he had struck the strings of his violin, and the sound was small but penetrating, disturbing the beauty of the rhythm of the sound. What did Amun want to do? Did Apollo play his harp, and Amon opened his mines? I had never seen anyone duel like this, and no warrior on earth could do this!

However, Amon ignored Apollo's reaction, and unhurriedly took out another core, swung the hammer and knocked it down. The debris poured down and swept into the storm of piano sounds, and there was another sacred stone on the stone platform in front of Amun. Not to mention that Apollo was surprised, even Medanzo opened his mouth wide and didn't react for a long time - a duel between gods, still play like this?

Apollo realized that Amon was going to destroy the rhythm of his piano with the sound of percussion, and immediately closed his eyes, ignoring what Amon was doing, and still plucked the strings according to his own tune, playing a beautiful melody undisturbed, but mixed with fierce killing intent attacks. As long as he breaks Amon's talisman mana, he wins, and the last stone in the clearing is to be broken no matter what!

The sound of the piano was melodious, like the most beautiful music in the world, and the rhythm of Apollo's plucked strings changed, and between two syllables, Amon could not swing the mine hammer calmly every time.

This seemingly comical but implied dangerous "duel" went on for a while, and Apollo suddenly reacted that Amon did not deliberately use the mine hammer to break his rhythm, it was just a coincidence. Looking at Amon's appearance, he didn't care what Apollo was playing, he was mining the divine stone there and following his own pace.

Hammer after hammer was struck, one divine stone after another was mined, and Amun, like one of the best and tireless miners in the world, had mined hundreds of divine stones and filled the boulders in front of him. With a wave of his sleeves, he put away these sacred stones, and then took out the core of the mine and continued to knock.

The miners' skills in Duke Town are very peculiar, including both physical and divine skills, in other parts of the continent, taking out the divine stone from the mine core is generally the work of low-level divine magicians, and Apollo has opened his eyes today. But he is very inexplicable, Amon casts a spell like this as if he is fighting against his piano attack, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the piano attack, and looking at Amun's continuous action of taking out the ore core, how many ore cores does this god have on his body, and when do you want to knock it?

Apollo was very puzzled, there were people who were more composable than him, only to hear Medanzo finally ask: "Amon, where did you get so many cores?" Amon once specifically instructed Medanzo not to call himself Amun God when there were others in the Olympus God Domain, but Medanzo remembered it very clearly.

I only heard Amon reply unhurriedly: "A while ago, I asked Alexander for a favor, and asked him to help me collect a batch of mineral cores, and I will take out the divine stones. But I didn't do it in vain, this is a job, and for every time I take out a divine stone and give it to him, the Macedonian kingdom will pay me a gold coin. If I am not good at learning and damage the cores, I will pay thirty silver coins for each core. ”

Amon was telling the truth, he did find Alexander a while ago, asking the prince to help such a "small favor", and the remuneration was also very fair, and he was definitely not bullied. Alexander didn't dare to slack off, and treated it as a national matter, and sent people to collect the cores and hand them to Amun, who put them in the space magic weapon he carried with him.

Medanzo was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes lit up, he realized something, and asked with a smile: "Amon, do you want to earn some money to spend?"

Amon nodded honestly and replied, "Yes, we should make some money too." We have lived in the Kingdom of Macedonia for more than a year, and we have not been given money for housing or food, and although Mr. Aristotle does not care, how can we be embarrassed to always eat and live for nothing?"

Mei Danzo also nodded again and again: "Yes, I was also negligent, mortals in the world should behave like this, and guests have their own rules for being guests, how can there be a guest who stays for such a long time? ”

Medanzo has been following Amon for the longest time, and he knows the temper of this god very well, and at this time he has already reacted to what Amon wants to do, and deliberately accosted him, and the conversation was quite lively. It didn't matter what they said, but they almost made Apollo's nose crooked!

In the dueling arena, Apollo took out the harp and plucked the strings to play, with beautiful melodies and beautiful music, full of surging mana and infinite killing power. His posture was so elegant, with an incomparably powerful bearing, that Amon couldn't even look at it enough in front of him! But Amon's response made Apollo almost vomit blood, it turned out that this god didn't take the duel seriously at all, but was there to mine cores to make money.

Amon chatted while working, and chatting did not delay his work, and he didn't take Apollo seriously at all, and even treated this god who was attacking as if it didn't exist at all! No matter how elegant Apollo's posture was, how beautiful the sound of the piano, and how powerful his attack was, it seemed to have become meaningless at the moment, and Amun, who was "dueling" with him, didn't even look at it, and this god had completely become a clown who was there to entertain himself!

In fact, judging from the battle scene between the two gods, Apollo seized the opportunity and completely gained the upper hand, and Amon was only passively resisting. Fight like this to the end, no matter what the outcome of the victory or defeat is, as long as Amon can't break the sound of Apollo's piano, both sides will pay a huge price. But Amon was not "serious" at all, and mined the sacred stone while chatting.

Do the gods need to earn money? Even if Amon wanted to earn a lot of money for food and lodging as a mortal, there was no need to be at such a time, right? Apollo was very strong, so he was confident, and because he was confident, he was proud. Such a proud deity, not afraid of a powerful challenge, is the most unbearable thing is precisely this contemptuous humiliation!

If it weren't for the mining of sacred stones, miners were one of the lowest jobs, usually performed by slaves who had been flogged. And the sound of Apollo's piano is so elegant and wonderful that even the emperors of the world are rare to hear. How could Amon face his challenge in this way? It was so shameless and too bad! This attitude and behavior hit the soft underbelly of Apollo's arrogance.

Apollo was angry, and the consequences were severe! His lyre suddenly became so soothing and wonderful, like a thousand golden snakes dancing wildly on the strings. The pure white marble-like fingers plucked the strings, scattering dazzling lights, and these rays condensed the ** force that penetrated time and space and shot towards Amun, but they were scattered in front of the stone platform.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of Amun, which happened to cover the stone platform where he worked. But the sound of Apollo's piano also contains a soul-piercing force, which cannot be stopped by any tangible divine art, and must be fought with a stronger soul. At this time, the mined divine stone was placed on the surface of the boulder again, and Amon waved his sleeve to put it away, took out another mine core and shot it down with a hammer.

I only heard a muffled sound of "poof", and the core of the mine was shattered into several pieces, and no divine stone appeared. The Lord of Heaven, Amon, one of the highest gods in the Nexus Continent today, used his most skillful skills since childhood, and actually destroyed the mine core by mistake! This is simply unimaginable, but under Apollo's powerful attack, Amon did not control the mine hammer well this time.

At this time, it was clear that Apollo's magic power was profound and his methods were mysterious, and he was definitely a fierce opponent that Amon had never encountered before! Even Medanzo couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Amon let out a long sigh, stopped his movements, looked up at Apollo and said, "You are really powerful, let me lose thirty silver coins!"

Apollo's fingers trembled, and he almost didn't pluck the strings of the artifact harp, such an earth-shattering means that all the gods would admire was worth only thirty silver coins in Amun's mouth!

Amon didn't answer, he took out another core and was about to continue knocking, but Medanzo, who was outside the battlefield, took over the conversation and shouted: "Apollo, you are so rude! I don't know what you used to do, you may be a performer, and you are really good at playing the piano." And Amon has been a miner since he was a child, and mining divine stones is a family heirloom, and his miner skills are no worse than yours!"
