Link smiled and said: "Amun, this place is still desolate, but I can already see a rich city in front of me. If Aesop is really such a talent, he will be a good financial officer or a farmer in the future. He will be a real lord. These are secondary. Building a new home on this fertile land, every day there will be harvest, and every day you can witness new creations. As long as you have such a heart, life will be full of positive meaning. "
Medanzo smiled and punched him: "You moved here from that damn place in the mountains, and the whole tribe cheered. Of course, you will think so. Others may not. But what you said is indeed very reasonable. It seems that you did not learn from Amun in vain. "
Amon nodded and said: "When I return to Montefiore this time, I will talk to Aesop about this. If he is willing, Medanzo, I will send you to escort him here. … Since you have talked about this truth, I have a question to ask seriously. You have already achieved the sixth level of the power of two sides, and the test you are about to face is the fusion of faith. So please look at your heart, what is your real desire and the path you want to embark on? Don't tell me it is to become a supreme mage or a supreme warrior, that is just the result of the process. "
Both of them stopped laughing, and Lynk said seriously, "My wish is very simple. It is to lead my people out of the mountains and build a peaceful home. I want to see this wasteland become a brand new city and build a shrine for God Amon. I am the one who will witness and accomplish all of this with my own hands."
Amon said with a smile: "There is no hurry to build a temple. Wait until the first inner city wall has begun to take shape. Since you are willing to worship Mourin, then build a statue for her."
Link: "Amun, what we want to build is your temple."
Amon smiled: "There is no hurry, just leave a place for me."
Metatro replied with a straight face, "I used to just want to restore my status as a noble and the title of my ancestors. But when I was finally able to do it, I realized that it wasn't the most sincere pursuit of my life. I am a man who is constantly searching and discovering. I have witnessed the miracle of Amun, and I just want to continue to witness and explore the ultimate existence of power. "
Amon smiled: "Well then, go and verify it. To break through to the seventh level, not only do you need to rely on the growth of power, the most important is the breakthrough of the mind. Medanzo will return to Eygut with me tomorrow, and Link will continue to lead the people here. "
Amon didn't dare to leave all of the wealth he had obtained from Mourrin's treasure here. He only left a small portion for Lynk in case he needed it. The next day, he took Schrödinger and Medanzo away from the huge island surrounded by swamps, and set off again south through the wilderness. The return journey was different from the way they came. Medanzo had smoothly passed the trial, and Amon had also achieved the seventh level. Unknowingly, he had joined the ranks of the strongest on the continent.
They did not encounter too many dangers along the way. When they came, they had almost figured out the general range of the various monsters. After crossing the inland lake and coming to the desert, they were not disturbed by the scorpions. Amon did not walk fast. This desolate and uninhabited place was the best place to demonstrate various high-level magic, which was what Medanzo, who had just achieved the sixth level, needed to learn.
Amon himself was also practicing the seventh level of body arts. Only after fully mastering it would he be qualified to become a supreme warrior. What was the difference between a seventh level warrior and a sixth level warrior? Amon had a deep understanding that the power awakened in the blood could not only be stimulated from the inside out, but also be exerted to the extreme. It could even control the operation of the power in the environment.
The power in the blood had become a way to stimulate energy, which was very similar to the effect of magic, or even the esoteric energy magic. There was a huge gap between a sixth level warrior and a sixth level mage. If it was not for a surprise attack in close quarters or a siege battle in a military formation, it would be difficult to defeat a mage of the same level who had mastered all kinds of magical means. But the gap between a seventh level warrior and a seventh level mage was obviously narrowed, and at least they could fight face to face.
No wonder Enkidu was even willing to practice pure body arts. If he could reach the peak of this power, he would indeed not be afraid of any master. But warriors who could reach the level of Enkidu were too rare. After all, mages had more means, and magic was not only a manifestation of power.
Along the way, Amon practiced the seventh-level body arts while teaching Metatro various high-level magic arts. The two of them often sparred together and occasionally fought off monsters that suddenly appeared. In terms of actual combat skills, after this long journey, both of them had improved by leaps and bounds, especially Amon. Although he did not seem to have changed much, he was already a rare master on the continent, not to mention that he had mastered the power of two sides.
More than a month later, they returned to the territory of Eygut and entered the Cape States. Because it was a secret mission, the two were still in disguise and did not greet the local authorities.
It was during this time that Julien received a letter. The messenger gave the letter to the concierge and left without leaving any message. The contents of the letter were unknown to outsiders. But on the second night after Julien received the letter, a tragedy occurred in Cape. Fayol Judah, the clerk of Lord Rod-dick, hanged himself and left a suicide note, the content of which was full of repentance.
In the note, Judas confessed that he was tempted by greed and bribed by Morton, the financial officer of Syah. Not only did he divulge the military and political secrets of the Cape States, but he also betrayed the secret agents sent to Cape States by the Temple of Isis. Judas' suicide note also mentioned another person, the financial officer of Syah, Morton.
Judas had bribed Morton with a lot of money and obtained a lot of confidential information, which was praised by Rod-dick. But on the other hand, Judas had also accepted the bribe and divulged a lot of confidential military and political secrets that he knew. Neither of them was a good person, and the things they did were also very interesting. They bribed each other with a lot of money in exchange for information. The money used for bribery was the city's, but after such an exchange, it became their own, and they had both made contributions. It was indeed a business that brought both fame and fortune.
At dawn, the servant found Judas' body hanging from the beam of the house. He had been dead for a long time. But one thing was puzzling. In addition to the handwritten suicide note on the table, there were also 30 silver coins at Judas' feet. Someone had written a line on the ground – return it to you.
It seemed that after Judas' death, someone had quietly entered his room. Whether Judas committed suicide or was murdered, there were different opinions. Rod-dick was deeply enraged. The matter was eventually treated as suicide, but the governor of the city ordered a secret investigation to trace the person who wrote on the ground, but no clues were found.
Only Julien knew how Judas died and vaguely guessed who the person who wrote was, but he did not mention it. Although the supreme mage understood in his heart, there was one thing that always puzzled him. Why would someone put 30 silver coins on Judas' body? What kind of symbolism was this?
Although the matter was handled in private, it was not completely covered up. The city of Syah also had spies here. Through Judas' servant, they learned the contents of the suicide note, and the news spread back to Schmul and Goliath, so Morton was taken down for questioning. Judas was dead and was implicated thousands of miles away, while Amon and Medanzo had left Cape States and returned to Montefiore.
… …
The first thing Amon did when he returned to Montefiore was to go to his manor and ask Aesop if he was willing to go to the wilderness to help the cavemen build their homes.
Aesop readily agreed. He said to Amon: "I was originally a slave, and you gave me the identity of a free man. But the so-called freedom is not only about the bondage of identity, but also about being able to witness the traces of my own life, just like seeing the trajectory of the stars in the sky. I am looking forward to such a mission, in order to repay you, and also to examine myself. Master Allaha, if you allow me, I also hope to make all of this into a story and sing it in the world. "
Amon was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "I know you like to tell stories. The legends of the continent and the past of the gods have all been made up by you. You are telling the world in your eyes and the wishes of your heart. If what I do will also become a story made up by people, you can tell it in the future if you want. "
During the time Amon was away, Aesop not only took care of the manor in good order, but also used the money left by Amon to lead the servants to do business and make a lot of money. Although Amon did not care about the money, it showed that Aesop was very capable. He sent Medanzo to escort Aesop to Link first, and then returned to Montefiore to meet him. After everything was arranged, he returned to the Temple of Isis to report, while Schrödinger was still mingling with the cats outside the temple.
It had been half a year since Amon left Montefiore, and the guard captain of the Temple Archives had been replaced by a new person. He still lived in the original small courtyard, and for the time being, he only received a salary but had nothing to do. The Adoratrice soon summoned him, and the location was still the study where she usually handled affairs. After greeting him according to the etiquette, Maria once again asked the servants to leave.
This time, without the Adoratrice's special instruction, Gabriel took the initiative to go out and close the door. Anyway, every time Maria saw Amon, she always wanted to talk to him alone. When Gabriel went out, he looked back at Amon meaningfully, with a look of inquiry and admiration in his eyes.
When the two were alone, it had become a habit or a tacit understanding. They did not speak for a period of time, just looking at each other. In front of the Adoratrice, according to etiquette, Amon could not take the initiative to speak. After a long time, Maria said quietly: "Amon, you have changed again."
Amon smiled slightly: "Why, don't you recognize me?"
