The old maniac Nietzsche was a miner in Duque Town like Amon in his youth. That was more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the areas of Barron, Assyria, and Hati were experiencing chaotic wars. The rulers of the Syrian city-states also changed their lives several times. The living environment of Duque Town was much worse than it is now, and they often lacked living supplies.

The barren land here can only grow little barley and beans, and there are few sheep grazing on the edge of Charcoal Forest. It was one spring. After the sheep had finished eating, Nietzsche felt that there was no taste in his mouth, so he entered the town. Go hunting in the mountains Jungle to the east. A strong miner who masters skills can also be a good hunter. Although Jungle is very dangerous in the depths, the old maniac has never played games on the fringes since he was a child.

This time Nietzsche walked a long way. All the way his prey was roasted into dried meat and fleshy meat on his back, he had unknowingly passed through the area where there are burrowing dwarves in the deep mountains and entered the precipitous Youdi River Canyon. When chasing a horned deer, he accidentally fell from the cliff and fell. Fortunately, he was surrounded by vines in the air. After breaking a lot of vines, he stabilized his body and climbed to a very secret place. Found a dead body that had just died shortly after obtaining shelter from the rain.

The deceased is a Middle Level magician. In the melee, he used the magical props to fly to escape the chase. He fell in this remote place because of serious injuries, and finally died without treatment. The magician came from the Marduk temple of Barron. At that time, Barron and Hatti were at war. They should be Hati ’s enemies. He left his last words and wrote on the wall with a knife.

The difference between Nietzsche and the average miner in Duque is that he is literate. Nietzsche's grandfather used to be the clerk of Duque Town, and he did not know which dynasty law was violated during the war, and was punished and deprived of the lowest rank of nobility. In the last few years of his life, he spent his time teaching his grandson to learn the trowel.

Nietzsche's fall was far away from people, opposite the turbulent Youdi River, and behind the steep cliffs. The severely wounded magician lacked food and potions and struggled and prayed to the Marduk God in pain for seven days and nights in an attempt to obtain mercy and redemption, and finally despair before he died.

The desperate magician said in his last words that he no longer wanted to return to the temple. If someone could find him, he asked to be buried here in the traditional way of his family and bring his relics to his wife and children. In return, the magician left the secrets of the magical practice known to him, including not only the various stages from low-level to Middle Level, but also the content of how to advance from Middle Level to high-level that he has not yet practiced. His relics have a staff with inscriptions and several precious magical artifacts.

Nietzsche's life has changed since then. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. Fortunately, he had enough food in his backpack. He stayed here for several days, recorded all the magical content, and buried the magician. Relying on a strong body, a few days later he climbed the cliff along the vines with the relic of the magician.

People in Duque thought Nietzsche was missing and died in the depths of the sinister Jungle, but Nietzsche returned to Duque town ten years later, claiming to be captured by caveman savages while hunting, and became a ten in the wilderness village. The slave of the year, until now, finally had the opportunity to escape from the mountains.

But no one knows that Nietzsche at this time is already a magician and has just returned from a trip to the city of Baron, the capital of the Baron Kingdom.

He went to Barron to return the relic of the magician. Nietzsche was already a Third Level magician. As long as he was cautious, it was enough to cope with many conditions along the way. In the outside world, Nietzsche realized the strangeness of the miner skills he had learned since childhood. When he obtained the relic of the magician, he already had the skill and reaction equivalent to a second-level warrior, and he could save a life when he fell on the cliff, not entirely by luck.

However, when he received the classics left by the magician, when he performed the "awakening of power" ritual, he obtained the so-called god-given power communicated with the external energy. Of course, he chose to practice the magic.

In Barron, the widow of the magician that Nietzsche finally found, but found that the family had fallen, just had difficulty. The identity of the temple priest is mostly hereditary, inherited by the son or eldest son of the family who is most suitable for practicing magic. The magician is a priest in the Marduk temple of Barron. His only son is not yet a grown-up and cannot inherit the priest ’s. Identity.

The husband ’s whereabouts are unknown, and the widow of the magician has owed a large amount of debt in recent years. The creditor was a nobleman in the city and asked the widow to marry him for nothing more than to seize the territory and inherit her husband ’s priesthood, which was common in times of war.

The arrival of Nietzsche freed the magician ’s widow, because the magician ’s relics are very valuable, almost equivalent to half of his wealth, otherwise his disappearance will not cause so much difficulty to the family.

The widow was very grateful to Nietzsche and told him privately in good faith: "If you follow my husband ’s last words, you have learned the magic and achieved something, and become a magician, do n’t reveal your identity It has been forbearing to become a great magician, then everything may change dramatically, if you are lucky! "

After telling her words, she told Nietzsche to leave as soon as possible, otherwise she might be in trouble. Her fears were indeed correct. Nietzsche was chased after he left Barron, perhaps the nobleman who had failed to plot to vent his anger. Nietzsche used magical techniques to kill his hunters, fearing that his magician's identity would be revealed, and then sneaked back into Duque Town.

Nietzsche has lived in Duque for another ten years, just like other miners, without any exceptions. Ten years later, he left Duke Town and traveled to the mainland again. It seems that he did not take the decree that "Duke Town registered miners must not leave without permission". At that time, he was already a Seventh Level magician. .

Nietzsche has traveled all over Tianshu mainland for another ten years. He has had many incredible experiences. When he returned to Duque again, he was already an eighth-level magician. It is said that the mayor at that time also wanted to hold Nietzsche unauthorized to leave, but somehow it was gone. Nietzsche has lived in the town since then, and no one has taken care of him, only treating him as a nonsense old maniac.

Physical and divine skills cannot be practiced in the same order. This is an oracle and law since ancient times. After Nietzsche obtained the relics of the divine artist, he awakened the "power given by the god" and began to practice divine art, and Achievements close to the highest have been obtained. But then there was a problem that troubled him. Before learning divine art, he had actually started to learn skills similar to body art and reached the level of a second-level samurai.

When the men of Duque Town grew up, Mu Yun Temple was blessed by the priest manage, which is actually similar to the awakening ceremony of a certain power.

Nietzsche didn't know anything about it at that time, so he gave up body surgery and practiced divine art completely, and turned into a great magician. So he began to suspect that there may be secrets unknown to everyone, but when he wanted to resume physical training, he found that it was extremely difficult. Even when he was young, the strength of the second-level samurai was lost, and the physical strength was barely equivalent to First Level. warrior.

After all, he is old and has not exercised for many years. Having the eighth-level divine power makes him very powerful, but it is already very good to maintain the health of the body and be stronger than ordinary people. This unsuccessful attempt made Nietzsche frustrated and at the same time more confused. It seemed to be troubled by this, and his magical achievements always exceeded 9th level.

So Nietzsche often disappeared from the town of Duque, and came back after a while, of course no one had to control this old maniac. Old lunatics inquired about anecdotes of interest, stories of famous great magicians and warriors, their life and cultivation experience, etc., and legends about the gods in major temples.

The old maniac began to suspect that some of the so-called deities described in the story are very similar to the existence of demigods, and there is no difference from the ninth-level magician or the ninth-level warrior. So, did they only become demigods or later became true gods? In this case, is it possible for mortals to become eternal spirits? If you can, how can you become a god?

He also suspects that divine and physical skills can be practiced at the same level, or they are originally one, but they are artificially divided into two parts, making it difficult to practice at the same level. There may be some undiscovered mysteries, including the secret of becoming a god.

The old maniac did n’t get an answer. After he was over one hundred years old, he realized that it was impossible for him to personally verify it, so he pinned his hopes on his successors. He searched in many places for a long time, and finally found a very qualified child in a small village under the headland city-state. His name was Bell, the son of a shepherd.

The old maniac taught Bell everything he knew, and only hoped that he could solve as much of the mystery he had thought about for most of his life.

Nothing needs to be said about what happened later. The last place Bell ran to was also in the canyon and jungle of the Youdi River crossing the deep mountains. He might want to come to Duque to find the old maniac, but he could not get rid of a large number of chasing soldiers. I don't know what magic magic Bell applied to a cat. This cat could actually pass through the encirclement, through the steep mountains to the town of Duque, and brought a message to the old maniac.

It ’s not that the cat can speak. One of Bell ’s best skills is the information magic, which seals a message on the cat. After the old maniac read it by divine magic, the message disappeared naturally.

The message from Bell is as follows:

Dear teacher ——

Your guess should be right. Mortals must not become gods. The secret lies in the practice of divine and physical skills. No matter what kind of practice, it is the achievement of the gods to break through level 9 or above. However, it is extremely difficult to simply practice divine or physical techniques, and there is almost no possibility of further advancement. This is the conclusion I obtained after consulting the life data of countless great warriors and great magicians in history.

In fact, it is impossible to practice divine and physical skills at the same level, at least as we have seen. With one exception, that is the most basic and almost insignificant Duque Town miner skill, that was the earliest teacher you taught me. But you are also a miner in Duque Town. Later, you have achieved great achievements in specializing in magic, but you can't make a breakthrough in physical surgery. Except for age and physical reasons, this is indeed a confusion.

I may have discovered a secret these years, that is, physical training and divine training also need to pass various tests. This test is not specifically mentioned. Those advanced warriors may have reached the requirements inadvertently, but there is no clear and clear summary. If this is the method left by the gods, then some content may have been intentionally ignored from the beginning.

There are far more people practicing physical arts than people practicing spiritual arts. Many people do n’t know what kind of tests they have inadvertently passed, but they think they rely on hard work, tough will and a little more. Unclear luck. They are right, but I want to unlock the secret behind this luck, people will not be lucky.

I have studied the experience of countless samurai, whether it is low-level or high-level, summed up some rules in their experience, these may be deliberately ignored by the classics.

If divine art and body art are originally one, and they are combined as a cultivation method, then there is a special order, like the temperament, there can be no confusion, otherwise there is no way to practice in the same order, Can only give up one achievement to achieve another.

If you go astray from the beginning, it will be very difficult if you want to give up the power you have gained and start again. I'm not sure about these, it's still just speculation. The secret of becoming a **** may be in it. Even if it is indeed a secret to become a god, most people can only sigh, because whether it is a ninth-level magician or a ninth-level warrior, it is already very rare in this world.

I ’m thinking about the summary, but there is no definitive conclusion. I took away the tears of the Virgin and the gods from the Temple of Isis, which may help me to unlock this secret, so I was chased by a large number of magicians and warriors and could not escape. I can only convey this to the teacher. information.

—— Your student, Bell

The old maniac finally finished talking about the past and sat down again to start drinking in silence. Amon also didn't speak for a long time, even if he had a stomach question, he couldn't ask, these topics seemed too deep for him, and the depth was beyond imagination.

They had been chatting for an afternoon before they knew it. It was getting dark, and Amon should go home for dinner. At this time, the old maniac had already emptied a jar of wine, but he was not drunk in his eyes, but there was a trace of inexplicable tiredness. He put down the cup and said, "Amon, I watched you grow up and grew up. Your potential and qualifications are even better than Bell. "

Amon ah, but didn't answer the call. He felt that there was something in the old maniac's words, as if he wanted to fight his own idea.

Sure enough, the old maniac went on to say, "I wanted to train you to be a great magician, but every time I think of the message from Bell, I always feel that I should be more cautious. The first step You can't go wrong. "

"I ...?" Amon said only a few words.

The old maniac looked at him and smiled, this smile was a little weird: "Of course it is you, otherwise why have I taught you so much in these years, you will write two common texts on the mainland, I will use another The method teaches you how to mine the divine stone, so that the body and spirit can get the best exercise, but did not really learn divine art and physical art, waiting for this day. "

"What happened to this day?"

The old maniac did n’t answer, and diverted the topic and said: "Amon, if you become a magician, you should understand from my experience with Bell that if you want to ensure your safety, you have to wait until you become a great magician. The day of course. Of course, the identity of a samurai may be a good cover, if you are learning physical and divine skills at the same time ......... Children, do n’t you want it? Even to repay my old man, you do n’t seem to be Should be rejected. "

Amon stretched his hand and touched his head and replied: "Yes, what am I unwilling? I'm just the son of an ordinary miner in town, why should I refuse these? Even if it wasn't to repay you, I would be willing. , You won't hurt me. "

The old maniac is laughing bitterly: "It hurts you? I do n’t know if it hurts you. But I often think of Bell. If that ’s what hurts him, he might be very willing to be murdered by me like this to have such a wonderful experience. Life .... I have only one wish for you, that is to unlock the secrets of the gods. "

Amon: "You said it was too far away. How can I compare with Bell's achievements? I can only imagine now."

The old maniac shook his head and said, "It ’s only artificial. If you really do it, you will probably not succeed, but if you do n’t solve the mystery, then you will live in a chaotic world forever, so we can at least Try your best. "

Amon: "How do you want to teach me?"

The old maniac nodded with satisfaction: "You are really a special child. Although shocked and puzzled, I heard so many incredible things, but you are still calm and sober .... Tell you , I do n’t know what secret Bell finally unlocked, but I ’ve determined one thing myself. "

Amon: "What's the matter?"

Old maniac: "That is the first step to gain strength."

Amon: "Are you able to wake up two forces at the same time? Do you already have a way?"

The old maniac laughed again: "You are so clever. After listening to what I introduced, I immediately thought of this. But there is a deviation. Either the two forces are awakened at the same time, or the power is awakened. both sides. I review the experience of this life, and then go back to the source point, and get inspiration from the miner skills of Duque Town.

Gabrielle asks if you have learned physical skills. In fact, you have n’t, but you only have a strong body, plus a little magical skills that have not yet been introduced. Now I want to test you to see if you can start to awaken that power. But you should pay attention to that awakening the power of this body both sides is also awakening the desire of one body both sides, which also contains the first test that the practitioner of physical art has to face but is ignored. "

Amon: "How do you want to test me?"

The eyes of the old madman narrowed into a slit: "Tonight, you go to Hanquan to do something, and wait for success, then come back to me."

The theological background of this chapter ——
