To Amon's surprise, he tried his best to follow Crazy 'Ole's method and succeeded. What was even more surprising was that the first person to awaken the power of two sides was Link. By the time Link had almost mastered all the elementary earth magic, all he needed to do was to master the skills and use them in coordination with each other. But Medanzo's power had not been awakened yet.
Amon carefully analyzed and felt that it was not because Medanzo's aptitude was inferior to Link's, but because he had an inherent impression of magic. It was not easy to eliminate those prejudices in his mind and focus on awakening the power of two sides. Some things could not be forgotten just because one forgot them.
Link was very interesting. He did not know what magic and body arts were before, so he was directly used as a "test subject" by Amon. He only knew a little bit of earth magic, which meant that he had not yet crossed the threshold of the ritual, but his accumulation was quite sufficient. Amon did not know what to teach him first, so he simply taught Link the mining skills of Duc. Link already knew a little, so he naturally understood it. Then the ritual to awaken the power was a piece of cake.
After that, it would be easy to teach Link. He would start from the earth elemental magic that he was already familiar with. Link had practiced blindly for so many years, and he did not lack Mana. Amon mastered all the elementary earth magic, and Link was soon able to wave his bone stick and perform all kinds of elementary earth magic. Amon then taught him the simplest healing magic.
He could not wear the hat of "Amun" for nothing. Healing magic was the most useful in such a tribe.
Seeing that Link was almost at the level of a first-level mage, Amon told him, "In order to better master the magic or to use it in a critical moment, you can use a staff. But try not to use it when practicing magic or practicing the combination of various magic."
That was what Crazy 'Ole had told Amon, and Amon had told Lynk the same thing. But he had forgotten one thing. Lynk's bone stick was inlaid with a common parangon, which was far inferior to Amon's staff. So there was no need to remind him.
Amon was far more mature than the average child. He was absolutely calm, but he was still a teenager. What he taught Link and Medanzo was a bit childish in the eyes of outsiders. Lynk's success was more or less a fluke, and Metatro's was also a fluke.
Medanzo had some doubts at first. After all, it was hard to get rid of years of prejudice. But when he saw Link brandishing the bone stick and performing all kinds of earth magic, he was completely convinced by Amon. Without a trace of hesitation, he wholeheartedly followed Amon's instructions and used the Terroculus to awaken the power. About ten days later, he also succeeded.
Medanzo and Link did not know that before Amon met them, he had only practiced water and air magic, and had just started practicing fire magic. The process of Amon teaching them was also the process of his own practice. But Amon found that he learned the same kind of magic, such as earth magic, much faster than Link, so much so that Link did not even realize that Amon was practicing and teaching him at the same time.
It was only in the environment of the barbarians that Amon was able to deceive them so successfully. If it were outside, an experienced mage would be able to see through Amon's disguise at a glance.
Seeing that both of them had awakened their power, Amon took back the Terroculus and taught them several kinds of low-level magic, letting them practice by themselves. He also made some requirements, such as silently condensing a layer of ice on the ground and so on. Amon just said it casually based on his own experience, but it was hard for the two guys. How could it be so easy? It was a special trial for Amon by an eighth-level mage.
The teacher himself was still ignorant, and the students were more likely to get into trouble. One day, when Link was learning fire element magic, he burned his own house, and burned it very thoroughly. Amon quickly taught him water element magic, the purpose of which was to put out the fire if anything happened.
While awakening the power of two sides, it also awakened the desire of two sides. There was no cold spring here to bathe in, so Amon simply told them to practice their spirit every day, to focus on introspection, to quietly experience the restlessness, but not to be controlled by it. If they really had no place to vent their energy, they could go hunting in the mountains!
The clansmen were surprised to find that the honorable chief seemed to have changed into a different person these days. He had actually become the bravest warrior, personally leading the strong men of the clan to hunt in the mountains. Moreover, the prey they hunted was the most, causing people to exclaim in admiration! It seemed that after the arrival of the messenger of the gods, even the chief was moved by the power of the gods, and had to sacrifice the prey he hunted with his own hands to the gods.
As for Medanzo, he was particularly impulsive and irritated during this time. He always wanted to find someone to "fight" with, but no one in the tribe could beat him, so he always looked for Link to "fight". Medanzo was, after all, an intermediate warrior. With the help of his staff, Link could use some of the earth element magic, such as Slow, Trapping, Earth Shield, etc., which he was best at. Once Medanzo got close to him, he would end up with a bloody nose and a swollen face.
After a few times, Link gave up and let Medanzo play by himself. Later, Medanzo and Link discussed something. Link, who was feeling itchy, was also tempted, so they came to find Amon together.
When was a person the most impulsive and bold, feeling that he was not afraid of anything and dared to go into any trouble? It was the current situation of Link and Medanzo. They had just mastered unprecedented power, and they had nowhere to vent their restless energy. Medanzo remembered the last time he was in danger by the pool. He felt very unwilling and wanted to take Link there again.
Last time, he could resist three big Ironbacks by himself. It was said that the king of the Ironbacks was equivalent to a few big Ironbacks. Now that he had learned magic, and with the help of Link who also knew magic, he should be able to take care of them all. When he was a child, he had heard the stories of heroes in myths and legends who challenged all kinds of monsters. Now that he was in a mood, he also wanted to imitate the heroes in the stories.
Link was more stable. Although he also wanted to go, he was afraid that something would happen. After a discussion, the two felt that it would be foolproof to ask their teacher Amon to go. So they urged Amon to go together.
Amon listened to the idea of the two students, frowned and asked: "What do you want to do? Wash manure? "
Link replied: "It's just a trial. There are no other opponents in this mountain."
Medanzo added: "You can also go mine sand. Clean up that place and let the people in the tribe go to mine the Damasc ore and refine it into billets. A small piece outside is worth a lot of money!"
Amon asked in return: "Beside the pool where the king of the Ironbacks lives, the deposits must be the best fine iron ore raw material, but if you kill all those Ironbacks, won't there be no ore to mine in the future?"
Medanzo shook his head and said: "Who said we were going to kill the Ironbacks? We are just going to practice. If we have the ability to drive the Ironbacks aside, we will go back with our people to dig in the mud, so that we can mine more ore in the future. "
At the end of the day, Amon was actually persuaded. It was the nature of young people to like new adventures. Amon's character was calm, largely because of the environment he lived in, but he was also very playful when he could. Amon was already an excellent second-level mage and a second-level warrior, but so far he had not tested his skills and wanted to know how good they were.
Moreover, Amon had his own troubles recently. Although he was busy teaching his two students, his second-level magic and second-level body arts had reached the most proficient level, but there was no sign of further advancement. According to Crazy 'Ole's speculation, if he did not go the wrong way, the next thing he would face was the test of "firmness of faith", so that he could become a third-level mage and third-level warrior at the same time.
But what exactly was this test about? How would it come? Amon didn't have a clue! The test was "firmness of faith", and he did not even know which god he should believe in. How could he pass such a test? In addition, Crazy 'Ole asked him to pay attention to the eastern sky and wait for the rolling thunder, saying that he would only see the next message when the disaster came.
Amon did not notice anything unusual in the eastern sky for so many days. He was waiting for the disaster in the prophecy. But since it was a disaster, he did not want it to happen, so he was in a complicated and contradictory mood. He was inexplicably irritated and could not settle down. Since his two students had come up with the idea of playing, he might as well relax and try his strength at the same time.
Amon was cautious and asked Link about the Ironbacks. There were only four big Ironbacks in the pool. The king of the Ironbacks usually did not come out during the day, and even if it did, it was only as powerful as the four Ironbacks put together. He secretly calculated in his mind that the three of them together were enough to deal with the king, so he nodded.
Link volunteered to lend his staff to Amon. Neither he nor Medanzo knew that the fine iron branch in Amon's hand was a staff. Even a supreme mage could not see it, let alone their eyesight. Of course, Amon said no and gave the Terroculus to Link, just in case.
They also discussed the issue of tactical cooperation. Medanzo, of course, was the meat shield, standing at the forefront and fighting hard. Link was behind him, casting magic to contain the Ironbacks to prevent a sneak attack. Amon, on the other hand, was watching from a high place and focusing on the king of the Ironbacks. If the king of the Ironbacks really appeared, he only needed to use magic to force it back. If so, it would prove that they had the opportunity to lead their people to collect the rich Damasc sand here.
When they set off, Amon carried the iron branch and habitually carried a leather bag. He had not intended to take Schrödinger with him, but as soon as the cat saw Amon carrying a leather bag on the road, it naturally jumped onto his shoulder, opened the bag with its claws and got in by itself, its movements seeming light and practiced.
The three men and one cat walked down the mountain, through the jungle and came to the pool again. It was noon. The horseshoe-shaped mountain wall surrounded a deep pool, and looking closely, there was a hole in the middle of the mountain wall near the water surface. The hole was half submerged in the water, which should be the lair of the king of the Ironbacks.
Amon quietly climbed to the highest point of the mountain wall. Metatro stood on the slope near the pond and pulled out his sword. Just as he was about to make a move, Lynk behind him said in a mocking tone, "Don't move, watch me!"
