That night, they rested on the land of Duc. Amon and Medanzo talked about the other purpose of this trip, which was to bring the people of Link's tribe here to build a village. The cavemen lived a hard life in the mountains. There was no suitable land for farming, and hunting was dangerous.
Since the flood, many roads in the mountains had been cut off. Many beasts had become extinct. Some cavemen tribes had been completely wiped out. Link's tribe lived in an even more difficult environment. If they hadn't caught enough beasts during the flood and learned how to make meat floss that could be stored for a long time, it would have been very difficult for them to survive until now. Link had led his people to catch many young beasts to raise, so that his people could barely survive.
In fact, Link had long wanted to lead his people out of the mountains and find a fertile land to live in. Now the opportunity had come. He reminded Amon, "You said that this land belongs to the Ducians, and you want the cavemen to build a village here. Won't there be any conflicts between your people and Lynk's people?" Amon asked Metatro, "You said that this land belongs to the Ducians.
Amon replied, "I've thought about this a long time ago. Don't worry. The land of Duc, including the farmlands and mines outside the town, can be checked. There used to be more than two thousand people living here, but now there are less than a hundred of them. These lands belong to them, and Link's people will not occupy them. The fertile land that has surfaced is much larger than the original Duc land. Link's people can cultivate and reproduce for generations. "
Medanzo narrowed his eyes, "It's not easy for dozens of people to come all the way here. It's true that someone should build a village first to provide shelter. This place is full of monsters. We need to unite to survive and have a better future. "
Amon nodded, "The monsters are not the only threat. As the flood recedes, this place will become a thousand miles of fertile land, which can accommodate millions of people. I'm afraid that no power on the continent will give up this territory, so there will be disputes. But no matter what, my people only built their homes. Medanzo, I have a mission for you. When Link and the others arrive, help Link train warriors, forge weapons, and build defenses. Make all the necessary preparations. They are the best craftsmen. "
When the sun rose the next day, Amon set off again with Schrödinger on his shoulder. Leaning on his iron stick, he crossed several swamps still surrounded by water and entered the jungles of the Euphrate Valley, just as he did when he first left Duc. Medanzo advised, "Don't you want to stay in your homeland for a few more days?"
Amon replied, "I'm already here, and I'll be back again. I know how to remember it."
After the flood, many roads in the mountains were cut off. In many places, narrow lakes were formed between two mountains. Amon and Medanzo took turns to take the mountain road and the water road. Finally, they reached the plateau where Link's tribe was located.
When they appeared at the entrance of the tribe, everyone was stunned. The whole tribe came to greet them. They knelt together as if they were welcoming the arrival of a god. Medanzo hid in a corner, embarrassed, but Schrödinger squatted there and accepted the people's worship.
Link hurriedly ran out of the house without putting on his pants. He separated the crowd and grabbed Amon's sleeve, "My god, you're finally back. We've been waiting for you every day."
That night, just outside the big cave where the bonfire was burning, the whole tribe held a grand carnival. Amon and Link discussed the relocation, and the cavemen readily agreed. They couldn't wait to leave immediately the next day. Amon, however, told Link not to worry and to leave in two months. The whole tribe needed to be prepared for the migration, and Medanzo also needed to recover his strength here.
After nearly two years, Link had already achieved the fifth level of the power of two sides. When he heard that Medanzo had also achieved the fifth level, he said proudly, "It seems that we're about the same. You've been staying with Amun all the time, but you're not much stronger than me."
Amon smiled and said, "Really? You'll know about Medanzo's situation soon. You haven't forgotten to work hard. "
Link replied, "Of course. Since you left, I haven't stopped practicing the power of two sides for a day."
Amon nodded with satisfaction. "That's good. You'll have a test soon. What about El Mar, the Ironback King? I heard that you can't find an opponent in the mountains to train with, so you often practice with El Mar. "
Link replied with some embarrassment, "Originally, if it was a one-on-one fight, I would be a little stronger than El Mar, but he also has the help of four big Ironbacks, so they are a little stronger than me together."
Amon smiled. "Don't say it, I understand all. You didn't take advantage of him once. I'll give you a task during this time. Don't fight with El Mar anymore. Teach him to write, just like I taught you. "
Link opened his mouth wide and shouted, "What? Teach El Mar to write? Can the Ironbacks also write? "
Medanzo slapped him. "Why not? We met the Scorpion King in the desert, and he could talk in human form. There were two female scorpions in human form next to him. You didn't see them. They came out without clothes, and their bodies … "
Amon interrupted him. "El Mar is very smart. You are still no match for him, which means that he understands what I taught him at the beginning and is also practicing in his own way. It's not impossible for him to learn to write. In the future, he is more likely to be as powerful as the Scorpion King and be the best guardian of his people."
Link asked, "You also met the Scorpion King? The experience of leaving the mountains was really wonderful. You must tell me about it. "
Amon patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, let Medanzo tell you slowly. This time I want to teach you something new, the focus is on making various kinds of weapons and magic tools. The practice of the power of two sides can't rely too much on external things. After all, it's not your own power. It can even lead to obsession and greed. But the process of making things is a kind of training for your magic power and will. "
Amon lived in the caveman tribe again. After becoming a supreme mage and a supreme warrior, he had a lot of new insights into the power of two sides. He taught Medanzo and Link without reservation. At the same time, he focused on teaching them some processing and refining methods of magic tools. Some of the tools were not yet in the condition to make, but some things could be tried. Amon also made weapons himself.
The abnormally hard carapace of the giant scorpions could be made into scales and supplemented with magic processing. Not only could it resist weapons, but it could also absorb and transform energy impacts. It was a very good defensive tool. The phosphorescence of the two-headed serpent could be preserved after such a violent impact of magic. Naturally, it was very strong and could even resist some of the damage caused by magic.
Not only could the phosphorescence be made into scales, but there was also a protruding bone spur in the middle of the fan-shaped scale. When the two edges of the scale were ground flat, only this spur was left, and it could be made into very sharp arrowheads. The stinger of the scorpion was also a material for making arrowheads, and this kind of arrowhead was highly toxic. Although the venom left in the stinger could not be used repeatedly, it was powerful enough.
Amon also collected the spine and ribs of the two-headed serpent. The ribs could be processed into the spine of a bow, and the spine could be made into the handle of a weapon. These bones could also be made into wands, but the making of wands was much more difficult.
Wands had to be processed with living materials. For example, the core of walnut wood that had grown for hundreds of years was the most popular material for making wands. The bones of this monster were even rarer. Amon carefully studied his iron wand and found that it had been processed by Crazy 'Ole. There were extremely fine growth lines inside, so it could be used as both a weapon and a wand.
Amon did not know how to do this. It seemed that he was still far from the top artefact masters on the continent. Link and Medanzo were even worse.
Medanzo's power was still recovering. Link first tried to make a tool, starting with the simplest scorpion scale armor. It was not difficult to turn the carapace into a scale armor, as long as one had enough patience. But it was not easy to add magic to it.
Link destroyed almost half of the carapace, and it took him a month to successfully make a perfect scorpion scale armor. Such an astonishing waste and extravagance would have made anyone else's heart bleed, but Amon did not care too much. He told Link that this was a necessary process. Any outstanding artificer had to use an astonishing amount of precious materials to build up their skills. As their magic power, level, and skills increased, they would become more and more proficient in crafting artifacts. Only then would they be able to craft even more precious artifacts.
The most precious materials in Amon's hands were the eight fangs and the two serpent tendons. He decided to make them himself. Of the eight snake fangs, four were long and four were short. Amon started with a simple method. He destroyed two of the short fangs and used the other two to make two curved scimitars. These two scimitars were light and sharp, and even had the function of a wand. They could assist in the casting of magic in battle, and naturally had a roaring impact on the mind.
He gave the two slender scimitars to Medanzo and Link respectively. They were both a beautiful decoration and a good weapon in battle, much stronger than the average warrior's sword.
Next, Amon used four of the long fangs to make the spine of the bow. Although he was very careful, he still destroyed one. When he used the serpent tendons to make the bowstring, he destroyed even more. The three short bowstrings added up to less than ten feet long, but he used up more than thirty feet of serpent tendons to make it.
The power of these three bows was quite strong, and ordinary people could not even pull them. They were also a kind of magic artefact that could assist in the casting of water element magic. They could also condense magic arrows out of thin air and shoot them. They were a kind of weapon that could also be used by mages. Naturally, these three bows were for Amon, Link, and Medanzo, and they were also equipped with arrows made of serpent phosphor bone spurs.
After processing the two scimitars, three bows, and a batch of arrows, Amon did not do anything else. He gave all the remaining materials to Link. He could make as many things as he wanted, and it would be a practice.
When Amon finished processing these artefacts, more than a month had passed, and Medanzo's strength had completely recovered. He was surprised to find that his strength was still increasing, so he came to ask Amon what was going on. Amon smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have already achieved the sixth level. You can practice many high level magic and body arts. I will teach them to you before I leave."
Medanzo was overjoyed. On the side, Link was so envious that he tugged at Amon's sleeve and asked, "Amun, when can I also learn high level magic?"
Amon said with a faint smile, "Soon, when you have suffered a lot, it will be almost time. Leading the whole tribe to migrate is not an easy thing, it will depend on whether you can hold on or not. … How is El Mar's calligraphy? I want to see it today. "
Link nodded and said, "Soon, soon, it can write its own name."
That afternoon, the three of them left the village and went to the pool where El Mar and the other Ironbacks lived. Schrödinger seemed to be very interested in this matter and trotted behind to watch the fun. When they came to the pool, Amon called out, and the Ironback jumped up, wagging its tail in a very affectionate manner, splashing water all over them. The four big Ironbacks also emerged from the water and looked at Amun with great awe.
Amon smiled and said, "El Mar, I heard that you can write your own name. From now on, you are no longer an ordinary beast king, but have mastered the wisdom of the world. Write it for me to see."
El Mar nodded very obediently, stretched out a front paw and really wrote a line of words on the ground. Schrödinger, who had been looking at it with wide eyes, suddenly turned his head away and stopped looking. Medanzo also covered his mouth and laughed.
Amon frowned and looked a little strange. He said to Link, "How did you teach it, why did it write it backwards?"
Link replied awkwardly, "I taught it correctly, maybe its eyes look different from mine."
Amon was stunned for a long time, then suddenly gave Link a punch and said, "Did you stand opposite it when you wrote?"
Link slapped his head. "Yes, I treated it like a human, I didn't expect it to be so stupid."
Amon glared at him. "It's not El Mar that's stupid, look at how well it learns. It's not your fault, there's usually no chance to write in this mountain, no experience is no experience. … You guys go out, I have a few words to say to El Mar alone. "
Link and Medanzo left the forest and waited on the mountain road outside. Not long after, Amon came out with Schrödinger. He said to Medanzo, "You have already achieved the sixth level of the power of two sides, now go and test out the strength of the Ironback King. I have already told El Mar to use whatever skills you have, don't hold anything back. "
Medanzo went in, and not long after, he heard roars from the depths of the forest. Waves splashed everywhere, mana surged, and countless broken branches flew out. After about the time of a meal, the movement finally stopped, and Medanzo came out of the forest in a sorry state.
Amon asked with a smile, "How was it, who won and who lost?"
Medanzo replied awkwardly, "Actually, if it was a one-on-one fight, I would be a little stronger than El Mar, but she had the help of four big Ironbacks, so she was a little stronger than me."
Amon frowned. "This sounds familiar, why is it exactly the same as what Link said?"
Seeing Medanzo being defeated, Link laughed. "The reason is very simple, we were all taught by the same teacher."
Amon glared at him again. "Don't you feel ashamed that El Mar is stronger than all of you? Her strength has improved a lot, and she will play a very important role in the future migration of our people. We will be leaving in half a month, order the people to quickly pack up, take what needs to be taken, and leave what we don't need. "
… …
Just as Amon and Medanzo arrived in the town of Duc, Walter and Raphael also arrived in the Cape States and the city of Uruk respectively. Since the communication was cut off by the great flood, these two cities received messengers from the Hittite Kingdom for the first time. They came to convey the greetings of the supreme mage Goliath and were received politely.
Both had a secret letter, and it was stated that only the Lord of the city could open it and read it alone. This letter brought unexpected trouble to both messengers.
After reading Goliath's secret letter, Rod-dick sat alone in his room for a long time. He did not summon his subordinates, nor did he consult Julien, the deputy chief priest. He only invited his most trusted aide, Aristotle. He handed the letter to Aristotle and said, "Sir, I received a letter, but I don't know what to do with it. Should I give it to the Pharaoh to deal with along with the letter, or should I pretend not to have read it at all? "
Aristotle read the letter and did not speak for a long time. Finally, Rod Dick could not help but say, "You have always been my most trusted friend, so I will discuss it with you alone, hoping to hear your opinion."
Aristotle mused, "It is indeed difficult to discuss such a letter in public. Goliath does not want to be your enemy, the ninth-level supreme mage only told you about the future he foresaw and made a suggestion."
Rod-dick sighed. "I have also heard of what is about to happen in the land of Marduc, but I am only the Lord of Cape. Although I do not want to see it, I am powerless to stop the disputes between states."
Aristotle: "But Goliath wants to stop it, so he made such a suggestion. I am a person from afar, and from the point of view of a bystander, this supreme mage's compassion is admirable, as for whether it will succeed or not is another matter, at least he wants to do so. "
Rod-dick smiled bitterly. "I can't consider his suggestion, and I don't even want people to know that I have heard of it, but I don't want to offend Goliath either, so what do you think should be done?"
Aristotle thought for a moment and replied, "Goliath also foresaw that a war between Hittite and Eygut is about to break out, which I am afraid neither you nor he can stop. His suggestion can also be considered after the war, when the situation may be different, and there may not even be a need to consider his suggestion. You do not have to give any reply for the time being. "
