194 、 Confrontation of Divine Emissaries
It was already dawn, and Joshua was about to send someone to find David when he saw David walking out of the jungle with a giant sword and shouting: "I caught twenty-eight of them, knocked them out and left them lying in the woods, should we send someone to drag them all back?"
His father rushed forward and hugged David. "How could you have caught so many giant warriors?"
David looked up and smiled. "The messengers sent by the gods have been guiding me and telling me where the enemies are hiding."
… …
The one who guided David was Medanzo. Amon vaguely "heard" the prayers of his people in the Garden of Eden and immediately sent Medanzo to check the situation. Shortly after Medanzo set off, Amon, who was sitting in the belly of the mountain, suddenly frowned again. Link, who was working with Peloponnus to build a magic spatial formation, heard Amon's voice again: "I'm a little worried about Medanzo, Link, you go to the Plains of Duc too."
Medanzo was very fast and arrived at the site of the battle between the miners and the giant soldiers before midnight. By this time the battle had stopped, and the twelve Judges were leading the elite miners in search of the fleeing giant warriors in the forest at night. David, who had entered the dense forest alone, was also pursuing the enemy with a machete and detection magic.
In this situation, the magic of mages could be seen. In the dark night, in the wilderness overgrown with trees, the giant warriors could not find their way at all, and could not run far even if they wanted to, so they could only hide in a corner and wait for dawn. Mages, on the other hand, could use detection magic to detect the surrounding situation, and their movements would not be affected.
Medanzo chose David among so many people because the child was very talented. He not only had the blood of the Duc miners in his veins, but he was also very smart and perceptive. At a young age, he had traveled all over the continent and experienced so many hardships, but he had not lost his spirituality and was always full of courage and fighting spirit.
In some ways, this child was even stronger than Amon back then. Amon may not have been the best among the Duc teenagers back then, but Crazy 'Ole had taken a fancy to Amon. At this time, David was not even sixteen years old, but he had already achieved the fifth level of the power of two sides. This was quite shocking.
Of course, one's achievements could not be completely measured by age. This was only the foundation of the beginning, and it did not represent the height one could reach in the end. For example, Nero, the master of scroll making, became a supreme mage in his early twenties, but he was only a seventh-level mage his whole life. Crazy 'Ole, a genius like him, eventually failed to break through to the ninth level.
Metatro found that David had quietly found three giant warriors with his hunting knife. In the dark, he went around to their backs and suddenly knocked them out. He did not even make too much noise. He did not fight with the powerful giants who were waving their weapons. He was very happy to see his disciple's achievements today, so he secretly pointed out which giant warriors were hiding nearby to David.
David, who was in the dense forest, suddenly heard Medanzo's voice. Along with the voice, a strange scene was directly reflected in his mind, showing the hiding place of the giant warriors, and even their posture was clearly shown. David worked until dawn and finally subdued the last giant warrior. None of Goliath's men had escaped. Only then did he walk out of the jungle and return to the camp.
… …
Medanzo watched David walk among the clansmen and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Standing in the crystal shuttle, he stretched his arms in the rising morning light. He flew through the night and immediately searched the dense forest of the wilderness with detection magic. Then he used message magic to "transmit" the hiding place of the giant warrior and the clear situation directly to David. He was a little tired after being busy for so long.
Before he could even stretch his body, his body inexplicably tightened. The cloud-shaped crystal shuttle instantly turned into a cloud of mist. Countless sharp ice crystals condensed out of thin air and pointed in all directions. The powerful magic power was ready to be unleashed. He put down his arm and slowly turned around on the cloud, only to feel the dazzling light of the sunrise. He narrowed his eyes and saw a man burning in flames.
The man's whole body was emitting flames, but Medanzo could not see his face clearly because he was standing between Medanzo and the rising sun, and the light of the flames had also turned into a dazzling flying wing.
"Who are you?" The man spoke. Hearing his voice, there was an inexplicable tingling feeling of being burned in his mind.
Medanzo sensed the man's powerful aura and slowly pulled out the Key of Destiny, the tip of the long spear shining with golden brilliance, like morning dew evaporating in the sun. He asked coldly: "I was going to ask you the same question, why are you here?"
The man replied: "I am Kibir, the fire god of Anunnaki, the emissary of God Enril. Who are you?"
Medanzo suddenly laughed and even whistled frivolously, curling the corners of his mouth and replied: "Oh, so that's how it is! No wonder those giant warriors happened to intercept the path of the Duc miners in this thousand miles of wilderness, it was you who had been secretly guiding them all along. "
Medanzo had a problem, or rather a characteristic, that the more nervous he was, the more relaxed he would appear on the surface, and the greater the pressure and the more dangerous the situation was, he would instead appear a little sloppy. Facing Kibir, he was not sure he could win, and the aura that the other party released was very powerful.
No wonder Goliath was able to lead his team from the Euphrates Valley to the Plains of Duc and just happened to find the Duc miners. Felix, the Lord of Enril, sending such a team was probably also guided by this divine emissary Kibir. Gods who transcend eternal life usually do not do this dirty work themselves, and there are some special agreements between the gods. They generally cannot deal with mortals directly, but can send divine emissaries to complete some tasks.
Medanzo had dealt with the divine emissaries of the Ennead, and now this Kibir was using a similar method. He guided an army from the city of Enril to intercept the Duc miners. If there were no accidents, this would have been a perfect surprise attack, but no one expected the Duc miners to be so strong that they actually took out all of Goliath's troops!
Kibir watched Goliath arrive at his destination accurately, and then left. His task was completed, and the rest had nothing to do with him. A high and mighty divine emissary usually does not participate in the fighting of the mortal world, as no one can guarantee that they will not encounter any accidents. It might be fine once, but maybe eight or ten times, they will encounter trouble. Even if there is only a 1% chance of injury, no one can say for sure that they will be safe and sound after a hundred battles. If they were always personally involved in battles, then most of the divine emissaries would have died over the long years.
But today's situation was a bit special, and not long after Kibir left, he suddenly noticed that something had happened to the two priests around Goliath. When Kibir rushed back to check, Goliath's army had been wiped out, but he found a suspicious person in the sky, probably another divine emissary, so he could not help but show himself.
Hearing Medanzo whistling, Kibir said angrily: "Which god's emissary are you? Knowing that I am here on a mission under the orders of the great god Enril, you still dare to make trouble! "
Medanzo shook the golden spear in his hand and said with a smile: "Your Excellency seems to be ignorant, don't you know that this is the territory of the city of Salem? The city of Salem enshrines Amun and Mourin, and I am the emissary of Amun. The mighty God Enlil actually sent you to do this kind of shady business of killing people and robbing their goods? Your mission is over, and those giant warriors have met their end. I'm afraid they did not expect that the gods were guiding them to their deaths! "
Kibir shouted coldly: "The reason why Goliath died was because he underestimated his enemy and was incompetent! The gods have their own principles, they will give guidance to the world, but they will not do everything for the world. You have also completed your mission, but you should not have humiliated another divine emissary in front of him. As far as I know, Amon did not join the Anunnaki divine clan, you and I are not emissaries of the same divine clan, and I can kill you! "
The golden spear in Medanzo's hand no longer swayed, and he held it firmly with both hands, while the crystal shuttle under his feet turned into a huge white flower. He stood on the flower and said in a deep voice: "Want to fight me? Then come on! I have been on the battlefield, fought with the continent's number one warrior, Enkidu, and witnessed his fall with my own eyes. "
Kibir suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out a dazzling ribbon of light out of thin air, which turned into burning flames with a wave forward. The golden light behind him also turned into countless wings of fire, extending forward and sweeping towards Medanzo. Medanzo only felt that he was surrounded by flames from top to bottom, and his opponent could no longer be seen, as he was surrounded by a blazing aura on all sides.
The outer petals of the giant white flower formed by the crystal shuttle unfolded, constantly disappearing and melting in the flames, and then constantly growing and stretching to resist the attack of the wings of fire. The inner layer of petals retracted and wrapped around Medanzo's body, turning into an ice crystal-like armor to isolate the blazing aura. He swung the Key of Fate forward with all his might.
A sharp golden light streaked across, and the sky was divided into a bright and dark gap. Kibir's figure appeared in the gap, his face full of surprise. He didn't expect the weapon in Medanzo's hand to be so powerful. He occupied a favorable position, with his back to the rising sun, exerting the greatest power of the wings of fire. He was confident that Medanzo would not be able to fight back and could only struggle to resist.
Unexpectedly, the golden spear could cut through the light and darkness, and did not change the power of Kibir's wings of fire. The flames that were cut on both sides became more intense, but in the middle, there was a cooling cut. Kibir hurriedly bowed, and the wings of fire rolled out behind him tightened around the white flower. He stretched out his hand and pulled from the side, and the red light of the flames condensed into a huge shield.
The golden light pierced the shield, and the diffusing golden brilliance exploded. In an instant, magic power surged, and the two could not see each other clearly.
In the camp in the distance, Joshua and others were ordering the captured giant warriors to stand in line with their hands tied behind their backs. Suddenly, there was a burst of golden light in the distant sky, brighter than the sun. Everyone was dazzled for a while. When they squinted and looked up, there was no abnormality in the sky except for a white cloud floating gently.
Both Medanzo and Kibir hid their figures, and the people on the ground could not see them, but at the moment of the fierce confrontation, they could not help but reveal their traces.
The golden light burst, and Medanzo flew backward on the huge white flower. The Key of Fate was also waved backward, drawing a path in the flames. He wanted to take the opportunity to escape from the other party's wings of fire. At this moment, the pervading hot breath suddenly disappeared. When he looked up again, it was the rising sun opposite him. Kibir had actually left under the cover of the backlight.
Medanzo was a little puzzled. They had only fought for one round just now, but it was obvious that Kibir was stronger. The two sides had tested each other's strength as soon as they fought. Why did he suddenly leave when he clearly had the upper hand?
Just as he frowned, he saw a shuttle coming from the horizon, and Link's voice shouted from afar, "Medanzo, are you okay? Who did you fight with just now? I was almost roasted! "
Metatro wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and shouted while gasping for breath, "What burnt? Didn't you see that I beat him away as soon as I made a move! "
Link had already flown close and said with a smile, "Look at the crystal shuttle under your feet, the heat has not dissipated yet. It was not you who beat him away, it was obviously because I came, and he was scared away by me! Who is this person, so powerful? If I didn't come, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to hold on alone. "
Medanzo retorted, "You never forget to brag, the person who fought with him was me! This person is Enril's divine emissary, the Fire God Kibir of Anunnaki. "
Link gasped, no longer joking, and asked with his mouth wide open, "Kibir? He and the Ash God Nugus are the two great generals under Enril, and they are not ordinary small fries, and you actually ran into him! If I didn't come, you would have really suffered. How strong is this legendary general? "
Medanzo replied with lingering fear, "He is definitely stronger than me. I only noticed it when he took up an advantageous position. At that time, he had already charged the power of his wings of fire, and thought that he could take me down with one blow. But he did not expect that I could still fight back, and if he really wanted to kill me, he would have been seriously injured himself! "
Link patted him on the shoulder. "No wonder Amun was worried and specially asked me to come and pick you up, I almost couldn't see you anymore!"
Medanzo kicked him lightly. "Can't you say something nice? It was the two of us who scared the Fire God away together! … Sigh, to tell you the truth, if you hadn't come, I would have been ready to run away, and if I really couldn't escape, I would have fought him to the death. This man's wings of fire are really powerful, and standing with his back to the sun is very cool, I'll think about it later! "
Link comforted him. "It's good that you're okay, the two of us together may not be able to deal with him. He only left because he found that you were not without the power to fight back and was unwilling to fight head-on. Amun sent you to see the situation of the Duc miners, how is it going over there? "
Medanzo pointed to the path in the distance. "It was scary but not dangerous, the city of Enril sent an army of giants to intercept and kill them, and the escorting guards of Salem were no match, but the twelve Judges and David took care of them all, and are now preparing to take the captives on their way."
Link nodded. "Amun is really wise, let's also follow behind and watch quietly, they will be safe once they reach Salem."
Link put away the Wind-Riding Shuttle and jumped onto the crystal shuttle, and Medanzo controlled the white cloud to float in the direction of Salem, but suddenly his figure swayed, and the cloud under his feet almost scattered. Link helped him in time, and the white cloud asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you, are you hurt?"
Medanzo grabbed Link's arm and replied in some horror: "No, I'm not hurt, maybe I used too much magic in that fight just now, I suddenly feel very weak. … That's not right, I shouldn't be so weak! "
Link looked at Medanzo and suddenly thought of something, and a look of envy appeared in his eyes. "It turns out that Amun called me here not because he knew you would meet Kibir, but because he was worried about your current condition. Medanzo, your test is here, and it's even faster than me! Let me send you back to the Garden of Eden quickly. "
Medanzo, the leader of Amon's disciples and the master of the Key of Fate, actually ushered in the test of losing his power at this time, which also meant that he was about to break through to the eighth level. Link brought him back to the Garden of Eden, and Amon asked about the situation and specially instructed: "You don't have to worry about anything, just train in the Garden of Eden as usual, and build houses and gardens when you have time. Forget the power you once had, and forget that you have lost it. If you really do this and still do not change, this test will naturally be passed. "
… …
Medanzo stayed in the Garden of Eden, while Joshua and the others arrived safely in the city of Salem and were stunned to see that a magnificent city had been built on the land of their hometown. When they entered the city, the original site of the town of Duc was still empty, with only a courtyard and a small building that looked very familiar. Aesop told them that it was the former residence built by Amun himself, and that Joshua and the others would continue to build their homes here, and everything needed was ready.
The city of Salem was also looking forward to the early arrival of the miners from the town of Duc, as there were many things that needed their help. The first and most urgent thing was that the parangons in Aesop's hands were running out.
Link had obtained Mourin's treasure, so how could Aesop lack parangons? Mourin's treasure was filled with special parangons, and Amon also needed special parangons to build the Garden of Eden, and the consumption of ordinary parangons was even greater. For example, a cold spring in the Garden of Eden required an Aquaticore and twenty ordinary parangons.
Parangons were not only the currency of the continent, but also the material for making all kinds of magic tools and magical formations. The city of Salem was not yet exaggerated enough to build a defensive formation on the city walls, but Aesop had built two fortresses between the city of Salem and the city of Enril, and the construction of the magical formations for the fortresses used up almost all of the ordinary parangons in stock and more than half of the special parangons.
These two fortresses were also battle fortresses, located on both sides of the road leading from Salem to the northern mountains, and each fortress could garrison nearly a thousand soldiers. They not only guarded the road to the mines, but also the large farmlands outside the city. If Enlil City wanted to launch an attack on Salem, these two nails had to be removed before the siege, otherwise they would be attacked from both sides when they arrived at Salem.
These two fortresses were the most important projects in Salem in the last six months, and the other important project was naturally to open up the trade routes in the Charcoal Marsh, but that task had already been done by Amon and Syah.
Aesop still had a batch of special parangons in his hands, but not many of them, which Amon had left for him, and could not be used easily. They were the wealth reserves of the city, and in the future, they would need to buy strategic supplies through the trade routes. In the past few years, although large tracts of land had been reclaimed and many workshops had been built in the city, Aesop had also spent money like water.
