Marduk replied: "I asked you to be the bait to lure Enriel into action, it is a great adventure for you, what do you want, you can ask." ”

Amon thought for a moment and said, "First, you can't attack me, you can't take the opportunity to get rid of me together, including your divine envoys. Second, the people of Salem have their own gods, and you must not force them to change their beliefs as you did in the past, nor can you interfere with their choices. ”

Marduk smiled: "There is no problem with the first condition, it is completely normal for you to make such a request. As for the second condition, I can also promise you, even if my followers occupy the entire Tianshu Continent, they will not interfere with the faith of Salem City. But I would like to remind you of one thing, people believe in gods, not because they were born to believe in them, but because they can receive spiritual comfort from the gods, or realize themselves in the name of the gods. Things are changing, and people's hearts are changing, and the descendants of Salem will make different choices, and then you will probably watch your idol fall, and this is not my breach of the covenant. ”

Amon nodded, "Okay, it's a deal, how can I inform you when everything is ready?"

Mardok replied, "You are also a god, and you should know that there are many Maldok temples in the world that can summon me. ”

Amon shook his head and said, "If Enriel wants to kill me, he will definitely not give me a chance to summon you." ”

Malduk smiled, stretched out his hand and shook it in the air, as if grasping something in the void, condensed into a blood-red stone, he handed the stone to Amon and said: "This is the blood I shed in the test of becoming a god, you crush it with mana at the right time, and I will naturally appear." Remember, call me by my name when using mana—Bo Xun!"

Amon took the blood-red stone and said with a slight startle, "Bo Xun?"

Marduk stood up and held his head high, "This is another name of mine, I have many names in the world, please don't reveal it to anyone." ”

After saying that, he turned and stepped into the void, and Amon shouted behind him, "I will tell you my plan in advance, and then crush this stone at the most opportune time." But you should provide another kind of assistance, how can I get rid of Sinakh?"

Marduk's voice came: "That's your business, solve it yourself." But I can give you two small hints. He left in style, but left a message imprinted into Amun's soul, saying two "little things" - the first is the origin of the Assyrian queen Semir, which is actually related to the monster Charm Mermaid King guided by Amat in the battle of the gods of the Anunnaqi gods. The name of the Mermaid King is Siren, and he disappeared after the Battle of the Gods, and neither Surabaya nor Renyun knew his whereabouts, but Maldok and Enriel found out the Siren's whereabouts later.

The enchanting mermaid is a mutated kraken in the depths of the ocean, and Amon has seen Celia's summoning beast ballad Leo, who was born as a charming mermaid and has succeeded in spiritual cultivation. The Seductive Mermaid King Siren also came to the Tianshu Continent in this way, but he was more fortunate than the Song Leo and accepted the guidance of Amat and became a powerful divine envoy in the Nine Divine Systems.

The siren was badly wounded in the War of the Gods, and after escaping, he finally became incurable, so he made a choice - to abandon his body in this life and start over with his soul trace.

When Best made a new choice, he still wanted to be a cat, but the siren became a man, born in the northern city-state of the Assyrian kingdom. A newborn baby grows up in the world, and gradually awakens the imprint of the soul. Recultivating the power of the origin in the new life is naturally much faster than the kraken back then, but it doesn't mean that he will definitely be able to achieve the same achievement.

There are many experiences, trials and encounters in life, and the luck of chance encounters may never come again, and the newborn sirens have finally reached the end of their lives. He may have overlooked one thing, that human life is much shorter than a Siren. His experience and confirmation on the path of cultivation back then may not be suitable for this short period of 100 years. Before he has yet to pass the test of life, his life will end. At this time, Enriel discovered his whereabouts.

When the siren came to the end of his life, he made a decision that he would not be reborn with the soul imprint of his former life, but would leave completely. He dissipated all his powers, including the memories of his rebirth, just to do one thing before he died, to leave a certain imprint in the soul of his descendants, and pass it on from generation to generation until someone could awaken it one day.

The sirens disappeared, but he left behind descendants, who branched out to form a tribe in northern Assyria, and the soul imprints of the power guide were passed down from generation to generation in the souls of one of them, the last of whom was by far Semir. Semir is now a ninth-level great warrior, but Amon noticed that she knows how to use divine arts, although she does not directly use high-level divine arts, but she uses her power very well, much like an oracle who focuses on combat.

Semir must have awakened the mark in his soul, guided by the power left by the sirens, and then the mark disappeared. Shortly after the death of her ex-husband, the imperial general, Sinach wanted to marry her. She would either marry the king or watch her people be wiped out - this was the choice that Sinnah gave her, and Enriel told Sinnah Semir in his oracle of his origins.

Semir was forced to agree to marry Sinakh, and there was a pact: she could not harm the king, and the king could not harm her people.

This is the case with regard to the origin of Semir and the circumstances surrounding her marriage to the king. Marduk told Amon another little secret, which was about Faust.

The Assyrian sage Faust was respected by the whole country, but he loved knowledge but was not close to women, and lived a pure life. But when he met Semir, his soul was never at peace, because he fell in love with him. In addition to knowledge, this sage and national teacher also yearns for love, but this wish is almost impossible to achieve.

...... By the time Amon came back to his senses with the blood-red stone in his hand, the sun had risen over the valley, and before he knew it, it was noon. Goret and Faust end their conversation, only to see Faust stand up and bow to Gore, and then walk down the mountain.

Although Amon had been discussing things with Marduk, he also knew exactly what was going on. Goret does not tell Faust to do anything, but only talks about Faust's wishes and Sinakh's actions, points out the past, present, and future of the Assyrian Empire, and proposes a possible choice. Only a change of king, and a change of its national focus, can put an end to this catastrophe.

To put it bluntly, it was to stage a palace coup d'état that would have Emperor Sinach die at the height of his life's exploits. But the new king had to be supported by all the forces in the country and be able to control the priests, bureaucrats, and military cliques. This person must have sufficient authority and a desire to change the national policy.

Faust neither agreed nor denied what Goret said, but silently said goodbye and left. Semir heard all these words, and said nothing, and when Faust came down the hill and walked beside her, she also turned and walked down the hill together. Ge Lie held his wine glass and watched the backs of the two disappear into the vast peaks.

...... Faust walked silently on the way back to the city of Enriel, he was suffering in his heart, and every word that Goret said was right, which was what his ** meant. He didn't say anything negative during the meeting, but in fact he had already expressed an attitude, and the desire in his heart had sprouted.

Semir walked right behind him, and Faust had made a ninth-level warrior so close and defenseless, it would be easy for Semir to kill him now if he wanted to prevent a possible coup d'état in the future. But the empress did not move, and walked out of the mountains to the plain, and the silent Faust suddenly heard Semir's voice: "Whatever you want to do, I will not hurt Sinakh." ”

Faust did not look back, but asked, "Do you still believe in that god?" ”

Semir replied, "My oath may have nothing to do with the gods. ”

Faust sighed: "Your Majesty, you can kill me, I would rather die at your hands to end this suffering." Semir replied with silence, and she did not move.

The two of them crossed a brook in the middle of the wilderness and walked into a lush wood, when Faust suddenly heard an ethereal voice: "Wise man of earth, why are you so miserable? Why bear witness to the disappointed self in patience, tell yourself what you want, free your soul, and be guided by that joy. ”

Faust was taken aback, the voice was imprinted directly into his soul from a long distance, and Semir behind him would not hear it. The fact that Faust could not detect the source of the sound showed that this person's magic was even more sophisticated than his, which I am afraid only a god can do. Years of cultivation have made him very calm in the face of trouble, and he does not show any abnormality on the surface, and when he walks, he asks in his soul: "Who are you and which god are you?"

Then a scene appeared before Faust's eyes, directly in the world of soul meditation. A god stood in the clouds in the light of the sky and replied with a smile, "Call me Satan, or Mephistopheles in the Assyrian language." I am the antagonist, helping you to fight against the disappointing fate. ”

This is a doppelganger of the god Amun, completely different from his usual appearance, this image was created by the artists of the world, and came from the murals and carvings of the Eju Empire. The Eju Empire once declared that the name of the "blasphemous demon" was Satan, and he lured people to fight against the will of the gods, and if it were written in the Anunnaqi script, it would be Mephistopheles.

The Elakht pharaoh did not declare this man to be Amun, but the craftsmen and craftsmen of the world created the image and depicted it in the frescoes of the temples and even the carvings of the tombs, often with the theme of people freeing themselves from the temptation of Satan, looking to the brilliance of the gods, or the victory of the gods over Satan, and so on.

In their works, the artists of Eju give Satan a double image: a flawlessly handsome face, but behind him is shrouded in a black fog that contains a shadow that reveals hideous horns and a spiky tail.

Amon had just unexpectedly learned that Marduk had another name called Bosun, and he couldn't help but remember that he also had another name called Aroh, and he also had a human title "Satan". No one knows that Satan is Amun, but this image has been brought to life from the imagination of countless people.

As soon as Amon moved, he manifested in Faust's soul, which was not a whim for no reason, and such an identity was exactly in line with what he was going to do.

Faust instinctively rebuked in his soul: "Mephistopheles, don't shake my faith!"

Amon smiled: "If that's your belief, I'm unshakable, people's beliefs have always been the masters of their own hearts, I just let you examine your heart." Please release your desire and tell yourself how to achieve it. Along with the words, a message naturally imprinted into the depths of Faust's soul, and it just hit the secret of the great magician's heart.

Amun knew Faust's wishes: what he wanted was not knowledge itself, but the fruit of wisdom, what he wanted was not abstract love, but Semir around him, and what he wanted was not the power of magic, but the desire to transcend the misery of life. This information was like a fiery imprint into the soul, and Faust couldn't help but tremble.

Semir, who was behind him, asked, "Sage National Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

Faust hastened to reply, "It's nothing, I'm just feeling pain, the pain of choice." ”

Amon said again in his soul: "Faust, if you make a choice and let me help you fulfill your wishes, we can make an agreement. ”

Faust asked, in an almost groaning tone, "What agreement?"

Amon had not thought of exchanging anything with Faust, but at the moment he felt that this might be another option to test the souls of the world, so he slowly replied, "Your desire is the master of your heart, and the power I guide is its servant. When it comes to fruition, give your soul. ”

Faust asked, "But how can you get it? How ethereal it is!"

Amon laughed and said, "The gods have their own means of the gods, and when the servants become masters, you will understand! If you agree, I can tell you an answer right now, which is to become the source of the power of the gods." And Queen Semir, who is next to you, actually knows this secret too. The answers you are searching for in the ocean of knowledge have long existed in places you can't see. ”

Faust asked, "You seem to be able to see through the soul of man, please tell me, does Semir love me?"

Amon laughed again: "Your wishes are the master of faith, and my guiding power is only its servant, so you should ask yourself if Semir will fall in love with you? Goreh has already told you what to do, isn't that what you want?"

...... As Semir was walking, he suddenly saw Faust turn to her and say, "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty Sinnach wants to marry Princess Akane and make another queen, I must also preside over the ceremony and clearly point out your faults. ”

Semir replied with a blank face: "With Sinakh's madness, he could have made two queens and ordered the decrees of the empire to be changed. But you do need to preside over the ceremony, and you should be ordered to get there soon. ”

Faust: "I ask you to come with me, for this is both a request and a command! Although I have never exercised this power, as the chief priest of the Empire, I have the right to ask Your Majesty to have another Empress present when he canonizes him, whether or not His Majesty intends to depose you. ”

...... The most important thing in the recent Barron Kingdom is that the princess of Xiaoqian is married, and a princess marries another king, which is often a sign of an alliance between the two countries, and a very common political marriage. For example, the former Pharaoh of Egypt, Lassis II, once married the daughter of Lucill, the former king of Hatties, when the two countries concluded a peace treaty after the Great War.

But now the situation is clear to all discerning people, Princess Xiaoqian married Sinah, after the Kingdom of Barron submitted to the Assyrian Empire, which means both the alliance of the two countries to recognize the status quo, and it also means the harmony of the people. But in any case, the devastated kingdom of Barron needs a respite, and there are many people who hope that the beautiful and wise princess Akane can bring peace and change to the kingdom.

Although the kingdom had just been defeated, Princess Xiaoqian's dowry was still lavish and luxurious, filled dozens of luxurious carriages. Sinach the Great married the princess in the city-state of Rees in the former kingdom of Barun, which is now part of Assyria. Rees was a rich city-state and the last of the six city-states to fall to Assyria in the fall of the Kingdom of Baron.

At Faust's suggestion, the new policies of the Assyrian Empire had been introduced, so the city-state was less devastated and more or less prosperous. After Sinach occupied the city of Rees, he scattered all the indigenous people, and moved a large number of people from other occupied areas, and gave them land to settle here, serve the kingdom, and pay taxes.

The city of Barron is located on the eastern bank of the River Reese, where the River meets the lower reaches of the Eudes River to form a vast impact plain where the city of Barron is located, the birthplace of an ancient civilization. After Sinah's capture of the city of Reis, his military expansion had reached its limit, and the Assyrian army had to manage a vast area of occupation, and production had not yet recovered in the devastated areas, so the emperor took a break from his sword army.

Sinach liked the climate and the beautiful surroundings of the city, which was much more comfortable than the Assyrian capital of Neveh. The River Rees sparkles through it, and to the northwest of the city-state is a natural hunting ground for the exclusive royal hunting grounds of the Sinach Great, with beautiful mountains and rolling grasslands, lush vegetation and aquatic plants, and many wild animals.
