Gore, perhaps too excited, his voice broke through the ban laid by the old madman, and the next conversation Amon couldn't hear it again, only the two people in the room knew it.

The old madman sat there with a glass of wine and made a gesture of volleying down: "You can not believe it, but when that day really comes, I hope you will remember what I said and be prepared yourself...... Not to mention, I've lived in Duke all these years, and I've been at peace with you, and I've even done you a little favor, right?"

Ge Lie owed a debt and said: "When I first met you, I was only a fifth-level magician, you didn't ask me for any trouble, and you helped me solve my troubles a few times, and gave me a lot of guidance on my divine cultivation, otherwise I wouldn't have advanced to a great magician so smoothly." From a personal point of view, I have always been grateful to you, there is no doubt about that. ”

The old madman was actually modest, he waved his hand and smiled: "You don't need to thank me for your own achievements, I just introduced some of my own experiences, and you also let me consult many documents and classics in the temple, I also thank you." It's just that today, how about asking you for a little favor?"

Ge Lie was silent for a while, and then replied with a slight sigh: "No problem, we all know that the child is innocent." I'm afraid the whole continent knows it. Dusty was a wise man, and this matter was easy to do, and the messenger of the royal capital would not come until three days later. ”

The old madman stood up and said, "Then go to him, I'll go with you, he won't dare not do what you want, and he will never dare to tell you about today's events." ”

Ge Lie smiled: "Naturally, I won't embarrass him when the time comes." ”

The two were about to go out, when the old madman suddenly said again: "Ge Lie, although you won't let me say it, I have to mention it one last time, if the catastrophe really comes, I hope you can live, don't bury yourself needlessly, and don't despair of your beliefs, I understand your achievements, you will become a ninth-level magician." ”

Ge Lie stood still in front of the door, and was silent for a while before he said, "What else do you have to explain?"

The old madman thought for a moment: "If Amon comes back one day, I hope you can comfort him and help him if you allow it." ”

......

Amon stood in the corner for an unknown amount of time, when he suddenly saw the courtyard door of the old madman's house open, and two people walked out, and the guest was an old man with a goatee. It wasn't very real at night, but the old man glanced at him, and his eyes in the darkness were quite clear and sharp. Amon just wanted to take a step, but he couldn't help but stand there silent.

The old madman and Geret went to the mayor's house, the small building where Maria had lived, what were they doing so late in the morning?

Amon looked at the small building from afar, there seemed to be a light on the second floor but not like a light, and after a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and the boss looked shocked, and he clearly saw a figure flying out of the window. The figure was like a big bird, a giant eagle, and a night owl, and it rushed directly into the sky and disappeared into the night, and it actually flew away out of thin air!

......

"Old madman, who is that guest here today? He can fly!" Amon asked, as the old madman had already returned from the mayor's house.

The old madman smiled: "What is this, I can fly too, otherwise how can I have the opportunity to watch from the battlefield?" It's just that I feel too tired to walk. ...... An eighth-level great magician like me can fly out of thin air without the help of any divine artifacts. In fact, a mid-level magician can fly, but it only needs to rely on some things. ”

Amon had always been in the habit of speaking with a certain point to figure it out, and asked, "You haven't told me who Goreh is?" ”

Old madman: "Don't worry, sooner or later you will find out who he is, and if one day you have any trouble in the city-state of Syria, you may be able to go to him." ...... Amon, is there anything you have to do with coming to me at night?"

Amon: "I have passed the test of 'purity of the body', and I am generally a second-level warrior, but according to you, I should learn second-level divine arts, but I am not a second-level magician, how can I learn it?"

The old madman looked at Amon and muttered: "If my speculation is correct, you are not only a second-level warrior at this time, but you can also learn divine arts to become a second-level magician, whether this is the case or not, you will know by trying." ”

Amon: "But you haven't taught me second-level magic yet. ”

The old madman laughed again: "There is no so-called second-level divine art, but there are low-level divine arts, and I have taught you almost all of them." If you can combine a magic technique with different techniques, you are a qualified first-level magician, and you can't be better than you can't be better. Being able to use two different low-level divine techniques separately to enhance the power of each other is the standard for testing second-level divine magicians in the temple, so you can test yourself. Take this branch back, and these three divine stones. ”

As soon as the old madman stretched out his hand, he pulled out of thin air the fine iron branch of Amun, and with the other hand, he grabbed it in the void, and three divine stones of different colors appeared, which were placed on the table in front of Amun.

Looking at Amon's shocked appearance, the old madman smiled again: "The red one is called 'Flame Elf', the black one is called 'Earth Pupil', and the white one is called 'Wind Charm Dance', plus the 'Blue Water Heart' that has been given to you, there are four special divine stones." Don't be surprised, a great magician in his hundreds, who has been a miner in Duke Town for so many years, is quite normal to get all of this. You take them with you and try out the different uses of each of them yourself, and explore and cultivate other divine arts. ”

Amon thought about it, the old madman's words made sense, he had been a miner in Duke Town since he was a child, and he had been here for more than a hundred years, and as a great magician, it was very easy to collect these things. For people like the old madman, money is not important, things depend on what they are used for, and cultivating magic for Amon is the greatest use now.

So Amon didn't shirk it, he carefully picked it up and put it away, picked up the stick and looked back and forth for a long time, but he didn't find any change, it was more like a branch. Seeing that the old madman didn't speak and only looked at him with a smile, Amon also moved his heart, and "touched" the stick in the way of awakening divine power, and felt that there were a few places that felt different from before.

So he used his hands to break every knot on the "branch", and finally found that the wood-grained mechanism had a very hidden mechanism that required a lot of strength to open. Amon almost broke his fingers, and found four grooves in the iron branch, each of which could be inlaid with a divine stone.

Amon asked with some hesitation, "What is this......?" Magic...... Scepter?"

The old madman nodded, took the fine iron branch and said, "The staff of the magician and the magician are the same, but as a young low-level magician, holding the staff is equivalent to announcing your identity to everyone, which is similar to looking for death, so I transformed this fine iron branch into a magic staff."

The material of the staff has changed throughout the staff, but it can still be used as a fighting weapon. It took a lot of effort for me to inlay the Divine Stone, and even damaged the Divine Stone just to use the complete core shell material to cover it up, and it was difficult for a great magician to find out that it was a staff. Even if the ninth-level mages don't pay attention, I'm afraid they won't be able to find out, as long as you don't use their staff to cast magic in front of them.

There are a total of five grooves in it, and the four hidden grooves on the body of the staff can be inlaid with various divine stones, and of course you can inlay all four divine stones into them, which is the most widely used. There is also a most hidden groove on the head of the staff, even if you know, if you don't have the achievements of a mid-level samurai and a mid-level magician at the same time, you can't open it, and I can't even open it myself after I finish processing, I'm afraid that only the gods can find it.

If possible, this groove is ready for you to inlay the tears of the gods in the future. If you have the Tears of the Gods embedded in the staff, then the remaining four grooves can no longer be inlaid with other Divine Stones at will, and must be embedded in the Blue Water Heart, the Fire Spirit, the Pupil of the Earth, and the Wind Charm Dance in turn, which is the same as the structure of the staff of Isis's guardian goddess, but it looks completely different, and the effect may also be different.

You know I'm a great magician, but it's not clear that I'm probably the best master craftsman on the continent, and this twig-like thing in your hand is the most proud work of my life. ”

The old madman said these words in one breath, rubbing his hands against the fine iron branches, and his face also showed a slight smug expression. It may be that there are too many lice and it is not itchy, if an ordinary magician sees these spars and this staff, I am afraid that his jaw will fall, but Amon has been shocked too much during this time, his nerves have been quite tough, and he is very calm, he stood up and only said three words: "Thank you!"

The old madman waved his hand and said, "We can't tell who should thank whom more, but I led you to what may be the most difficult path in this world." ”

Amon: "So what, do you think I'm going to be unwilling? Do you want me to be a miner like my father for the rest of my life, and I can't leave Duktown, maybe I've had a finger cut off by now?"

The old madman looked at Amun, his eyes seemed to be studying something: "Amon, you are a child who can hide things in your heart, just like this iron branch can hide the divine stone so that people can't see that it is a magic staff." But you have a question hidden in your heart for a long time, about me, say it today, I can read the eyes of you when you see these divine stones. ”

Amon lowered his head and said, "In that case, I asked, the core that mined the Tears of the Gods was borrowed from you by my father. That's why I've had so many encounters, and you said, a lot of things are bound to happen from the moment I mine the tears of the gods. Did you do it on purpose? I knew that inside the core was the Tears of the Gods!"

Amon finally said the question that had been held in his heart for a long time, and the old madman was a little embarrassed by what he said, and looked down at Jing Tiezhi and said: "Among all the great magicians and great magicians, I should be the one who knows the most about the mining of divine stones, and it is impossible for anyone else to be a miner in Duke Town for more than a hundred years. The core of the mine is a magical thing, and no one is sure that there must be a divine stone in it until it is opened, and it is not clear what kind of divine stone it will be.

It took me a lifetime to figure it out, but I knew that the core was different from the others I was familiar with, and that it was probably the Tears of the Gods that I had never mined. Lend it to your father, you open it, and sure enough, it's the tears of the gods! ”

Amon wanted to speak and stopped: "Then why don't you ......?"

The old madman took his words and said, "Then why don't I keep it for myself? The Tears of the Gods are of no much use to me, and it was Bell who abducted the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Isis, and also took away the Tears of the Gods from other people, in the final analysis, it is all my fault, and I will have a Tear of the Gods plus a Holy Maiden." ...... Besides, if I don't let you mine the tears of the gods, how can I go ahead with my plan? You're right, I did it on purpose. ”

Amon didn't mean to continue asking, just nodded and said, "Oh, I see." ”

The old madman pointed to the black divine stone and said: "There is more than one use for the special divine stone, such as this earth pupil, which is the best auxiliary artifact for using the earth element divine art, and can also assist some power-based divine arts, and can also be used as a carrier of information divine arts." I wrote down everything I knew about my cultivation in the form of a scroll of divine arts, and you can read it slowly. But there is a feature of the information magic technique I use, only when your magic has reached a certain point, you can see the content of a certain stage, and after reading it, the recorded information will automatically disappear. ”

Then he pointed to the white divine stone again and said, "The Wind Charm Dance is not only the best auxiliary artifact for casting air magic, but also one of the best carriers of space magic, but it sometimes needs to be processed. This Wind Dance has been in my hands for many years, and I have processed it into a space artifact that can hold a lot of things, but it is empty now. If one day you become a Level 6 Magician and are able to use high-level spatial magic, you can open it and use it. ”

Amon interjected and asked, "Isn't the sixth level a mid-level magician, how can he use high-level divine arts?"

The old madman smiled: "It's not only high-level magicians who can use high-level magic, in fact, all kinds of magic can be performed with the help of auxiliary props, and the measure of a great magician is another meaning. In fact, the evaluation criteria for assessing a sixth-level magician in the temple are not only to pass the test of 'Devil's Temptation', but also to be able to use high-level magic with the help of props, and to perform at least one high-level magic without using any props, etc. It's too early to talk to you about this, the Pupil of the Earth has all the information it contains, and you'll know it when you can see it. ”

Amon suddenly felt that something was wrong with the old madman's behavior today, as if he wanted to explain everything at once, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you today, am I going to leave immediately?"

Old madman: "Poor boy, you are so clever, you will be banished tomorrow morning, and today is your last night in Duke! Now I want to ask, did I never say you were my student, and you never called me teacher?"

Amon realized that he had really never called a teacher, and had always just called Nietzsche an old madman, not because he was disrespectful, but because he had been used to it since he was a child. As soon as he heard this, he knelt down, kissed the dirt at the feet of the old madman, and then said: "Teacher Nietzsche, in my mind you are already my teacher, and of course I am your student. ”

The old madman did not stop Amon from performing the most solemn gift, but laughed and said: "Amon, if one day you can unlock the secrets of the gods, or even be called gods, then this scene today must be very memorable, or there is a wonderful irony! I have recorded this scene in the pupil of the earth, child, you don't have to call me teacher, in fact, I don't teach you much, and I don't want you to be my student or another me, but I just want you to fulfill my wishes, which seems to be something that no one can teach, and it is difficult for you." ”

Amon replied respectfully, "I won't forget." ”

The old madman seemed to sigh with infinite emotion: "To forget or not to forget, who can tell? I have recorded two messages in this pupil of the earth that will never disappear, one is the scene where you knelt before me and saluted, and the other is related to Mary, do you want to see it?"

Amon was curious: "Maria, I want to see it!"

Old madman: "You haven't cultivated the Information Divine Technique yet, I'll show you first." ”

Before he finished speaking, Amon saw that the black divine stone on the table had become colorless and transparent, and the edges and corners were glowing, becoming the appearance of a dodecahedral crystal ball of light, and then this ball of light was expanding and enlarged, and a three-dimensional picture appeared in it, which was a line of Eju cursive written on the wall - "Amon, my name is Aiko." ”

Seeing Amon's puzzled expression, the old madman explained with a smile: "That's a line that Mary wrote in her room, she wanted to tell you her name, but she didn't say it, just wrote it in a corner of the room, but then erased it. This is probably the last time she will use this name, and the last time she will write secular words. Do you say, has she forgotten or is it hard to forget? I'm afraid even the gods can't tell!"

......

The next day, when the people were still having breakfast, the bell in the Mu Yun Temple to gather the townspeople rang again, and when the people hurriedly ate their food and rushed to the square in front of the temple, they found that this time the bell was ringed by Dusty himself, and the townman's expression was very solemn.

Seeing that the people were almost here, Mayor Dusty opened a scroll of documents and read aloud: "Accept the decree issued jointly by the Eju Empire and the Hatti Kingdom that will never be revoked." Warriors should be sent to assist in the pursuit of the evil magician Bell, who was last seen in the jungle of the Eudi Valley, west of the town of Duke. ”

Thinking of this, Dusty closed the book, paused in his tone and said: "Bell is an evil magician, and the person who pursues him must be a true warrior, he escaped from the temple of Isis in Eju to the jungle of the Eudyes, and those who can find and destroy him must have received the blessing of the goddess Isis and the goddess Muyun, and there is finally such a warrior in this town, and I have decided to send him to carry out the decrees of the kingdom." ”

Xiao Gu was gone, except for the old madman and Amun, only Mayor Dusty was left literate himself, and no one noticed that the parchment scroll he was holding in his hand was very old, and he didn't know that it was written on it thirty years ago.
