At that time, the two brothers were young, and the awakening of power was not successful. Then their grandfather died. Although the family has not lost the status of nobility, it has lost its title and title, and its status is similar to that of the civilians who have a good family, except that they do not have to pay the taxes of ordinary civilians.
In theory, these two brothers can practice divine art, but after losing their title titles, no priest in the temple will continue to teach them. If they had awakened their strength at the beginning, it was possible to continue to practice. This is not illegal, but it is difficult to achieve higher achievements, not to mention that the awakening ceremony of the strength was not successful.
Cain whispered in Abel ’s ear and whispered: “My brother, do n’t forget that our name has been registered in the ritual record of the city-state shrine. If we learn the magic arts, it ’s completely legal, if I have another chance to become a Middle Level magician, and I can fully restore the title and title of our ancestors, and our family status can be more glorious than in the past. There is no need to guard this farm and become a farmer and a shepherd. Now there is a rare opportunity in front of us, You can ask Amon to awaken the power and teach the magic for us. "
Abben asked nothing about Amon, but Cain said for a long time that he finally moved his brother. For ordinary people, being able to master the magical power is as fascinating as the old maniac who wants to unlock the secrets of the gods. Whether it is Mei Danzuo who is not qualified to learn magic, or Linker, the patriarch of the deep mountain Zhongren tribe, seeing the opportunity, he made a request to Amon to learn magic, not to mention that Abel and Cain are qualified but nowhere to learn. What about the noble nobles?
The brothers discussed until midnight and decided to make a request to Amon early the next morning and present their own gifts. Amon heard what they said in the field and decided to agree to the requests of the two brothers. The two brothers are qualified to learn magic, so doing so will not cause them trouble, and should be the best reward.
Early the next morning, Amon left the farmhouse and went for a walk in the ranch, deliberately came to a place far away from everyone ’s eyes and ears. Unexpectedly, the two brothers came with gifts. They knelt in front of Amon and said, "Honored Lord, please accept our most pious offering. Although this gift is not precious, it was obtained by us with our own hands and represents the true heart."
Cain presented a bunch of golden yellow grains. He is a farmer and sometimes works in the field himself. This millet is also a kind of planting by himself. Abel slaughtered the first lamb born this year in his own flock, and marinated the mutton to make preserved meat, and the mature oil cooked with sheep fat was presented to Amon.
Amon looked at them and smiled, a branch of staff in his hand said: "Your hospitality is already the best gift. Since I promised to answer your request, I will naturally keep my promise. I know your intention , Is to let me hold a power awakening ritual for you and teach divine skills, which is perfectly okay. "
Cain exclaimed: "You have seen our hearts before you open your mouth. Are you a messenger of the gods? No, in my mind, you symbolize the spirit-giving spirit." He was afraid The identity of the taboo magician deliberately said such a thing. In fact, Amon also heard Link and Mei Danzuo said, but Cain's tone was not so frank.
Abel also prostrately proclaimed: "Thank you, I will always remember the honorable Lord, you have given us life and also given us magical power"
Amon waved his hand and said: "Do n’t hurry to thank you first. I promised to hold a power awakening ceremony for you, but whether you can succeed depends on yourself. Not everyone can pass the test to learn the magic. First Get up tonight at the foot of the mountain behind the farm. I will prepare you for the ceremony, but you must first promise me two conditions. "
The two brothers said head-to-head: "What are the conditions, Lord Master, you just say so."
Amon thought for a while and said, "First, you can only practice according to the method I taught. Don't go any other way. Have a firm belief and regard it as the only source of strength. Second, I cannot draw my appearance or make my statue, and show my face and name to others. "
The reason why Amon put forward the first condition is very simple. What he wants to try to awaken for the brothers is the power of one body both sides, and he will only teach them the cultivation path that they have verified. In the same way, he also said to Link . As for the second condition, it is also easy to understand. Amon ’s identity is a magician, and the “deeds” on the ferry have been made public by the Uruk city-state. Naturally, he would not want anyone to know his appearance and name.
The brothers nodded and agreed immediately. Although Amun ’s first condition was special, they had no other place to learn, so they did n’t need to consider other options. When he went back, Amon took Abel's gift and said, "Thank you, I just used these things on the road, so I accepted them." But he returned the wheat ears to Cain, because he really didn't need them when he was on the road again. .
On that night, when the moonlight illuminates the treetops in the forest, Abel and Cain came to the forest glade at the foot of the mountain. Amon was already waiting there, with his branch-shaped staff in front of him. Amon ’s nonsense has n’t been much. When the two brothers arrived, they waved their hands and said: “The awakening ritual of power will begin now. My cane is its source. This is the original ritual. What is power? It is both the power given by the gods and the power of sleep in the bloodline.
While awakening power also awakens desire. This desire comes from the body and the soul at the same time. It is one both sides. You have to learn how to face it and not be swayed by it. The awakening of power through rituals is only the first step. In fact, this test is not temporary, it will run through your life and even to eternal life. Pray towards my walking stick. Please look at your body and mind. It is not a known **** that gives you strength. This kind of prayer may be difficult. I hope you can find the state of focused piety. "
Amon now has a new understanding of the various tests in the practice of magic, whether it is "awakening of desire" or "firmness of faith" and "temptation of the devil" have two meanings. The first meaning means that it will not be influenced by the basic meditation of divine practice, and you can continue to practice higher divine magic. The second meaning is more complicated. It does not pass the test in form. This test will disappear. It will run through the belief of everyone, just as the temptation of the devil is always present, and the desire is always accompanied by it. Human body and mind.
Amon stayed in the farm for another seven days. With the help of the magical cane, the physical and mental signs of the two brothers showed signs of power, and Amon was completely restored. He stayed in the farm for half a month, and felt that his energy and physical strength had returned to the best condition, and even his strength was vaguely stronger than before.
He was a little surprised why he spent so much time. In fact, Amon is not clear. Excessive use of mana exceeds the limit. It is very dangerous for the magician and will be in a weak and unable to protect himself. status. In the same situation, it may take two or three months for a general magician to recover. He was alive and kicking on the road after only half a month. This speed is really amazing, not only because of the physical exercise, but also because of his usual training methods that are different from ordinary people.
Amen left a magic stone for each of the two brothers before he left. The purpose is nothing more than to let them use this as an intermediary to stimulate power and continue to awaken the power. It is impossible for Amon to stay here with his cane. The most difficult first step has already been taken. The rest is up to the two brothers themselves. How to face the test of desire requires them to spend their lives.
Two **** stones are enough to compensate his brother and his hospitality for him. Abeben did n’t want to accept it, saying that although he is not rich, he still has the **** stones collected by his ancestors. Amon persuaded him to leave the **** stone and told him that he would use the **** stone when setting the staff in the future, and the cost would be much more expensive than a **** stone. Amon was very considerate of the problem, and even thought that after the two brothers became magicians, they might not be able to afford a decent staff, and even taught them the craftsmanship of the staff.
Before becoming an Middle Level magician, they did not have the ability to make a staff. But it doesn't matter. Amon's own habit is to practice divine power without the help of a staff. Naturally, he also requires the descendants to practice in this way. He awakened the power of one both sides for the two brothers, and found that the two were different from each other. Abel was better at mastering the magic skills, and Cain's talent was more focused on physical skills.
The situation of the two brothers reminded Amon of Bell ’s comment on the strength training of the unity both sides-"Anyone may have a focus on ability. These do not affect the cultivation of the unity both sides, any ability If you want to make the most of it, you may not be able to do it through the energy of a person ’s life, and the road itself is so difficult, so it is reasonable to first meet the most basic requirements and then focus on it. "
Amon left the two brothers with one to six levels of strength, each with different emphasis. The most important purpose for him to do so is to confirm Bell ’s guess. Amon himself is somewhat different from what Bell pointed out. The old maniac wants him to become an encyclopedic magician and explore the path that Bell has not yet completed, so he has to try every possibility. Therefore, Bell's comment can only be confirmed in the case of the two brothers. Amon, whose mission is to unlock the secrets of the gods, cannot focus too much on a certain path.
The brothers sent Amon far away until they left the Uruk city-state and came back to the official road leading to the city of Baron. Although Amon was a magician, he did not encourage the two to offend and blasphemy any of the gods, but only awakened their power and taught all the training content before becoming a great magician. This is not in any temple. I will learn it once.
The gratitude in Abel ’s and Cain ’s hearts is conceivable. When he said goodbye, he said to Amon: “You are our eternal benefactor, shining the light of the gods”
Amon drove the carriage and continued on the road. No one in the big kingdom knew who he was, and Amon had no troubles along the way. He passed through the city-states of Laga, Nipur, Kish, etc., and he did not walk fast. It took more than three months to reach the capital of Baron. At this time, Amon was no longer the stunned boy who had just walked out of the mountains. His temperament seemed to have matured a lot. After so many things, he began to gradually understand this strange and vast world. The journey in the mainland is indeed a wealth .
He understands what the so-called "devil's temptation" is. He can pass the test when practicing divine arts, but this test still exists at all times. What he said to the two brothers, he is also there. Understand and confirm. Amon is not stupid. This experience has taught him a lot of things, and he always pays attention to observing the thinking and desires of the people around him.
In his eyes, everything is so novel. There are always new things in the sun. If you ca n’t see it, it can only mean that you did n’t feel it. Amen was not happy because he had been waiting. Schrodinger had said that he would come back to find him, but the cat never appeared.
Amon thought Schrödinger a little, he even wanted to go back to Sumer town to find it, where the cat left. Can it cross the Youdi River and catch up with Amon? However, Amon still suppressed this idea and continued to go to Wangdu. Let me see Mei Danzuo. Anyway, I will go back sooner or later.
He wanted to see Mei Danzuo for no other purpose. It was because he did n’t know anyone on the mainland when he first walked out of the mountains, so he made Barron City his first stop. By the way, let's see how the power of Mei Danzuo and both sides has been cultivated. Amon got the message left by Bell that after Mei Danzuo left, there are many things that have not come and taught him.
If Mei Danzuo ’s power has reached a bottleneck, but I do n’t know how to continue, Amon can just go on guiding him. Amon wants to see Mei Danzuo has another idea. After all, Mei Danzuo is a Middle Level warrior who grew up in the king capital. He has systematically learned the fighting skills that Amon is not familiar with. These are also what Amon needs to learn from.
The closer to Barron City, Amon couldn't help but think of Yin Nanna again. Will she meet the little princess in Wangdu again? She must be with her fiancé Gilgamesh at the moment. I heard that Gilgamesh will also go to the capital recently. Will Princess Xiaoqian join him? If she came to Amon as Yin Nana again, how should she meet? But this possibility is very small. How can Yin Nanna know where to find him?
When he arrived outside the city of Barron, Amon encountered his first obstacle since traveling on the mainland.
Balun City is the capital of the kingdom after all, although it is still closely guarded in peaceful times. The guards guarding the gates are all samurai, and even the captains are at least Middle Level samurai. There are three magicians sitting in each city gate, at least one of them is Middle Level magician, they are not in the city tower, but they can always use the magic to detect all suspicious people.
Amon also thought about sneaking over the city wall quietly at night, but he discovered in time that there was a weak magic power on the city wall, and a great magic circle was originally placed around the entire city of Barron. Only Wang Du can have this kind of handwritten heroes who once also laid out such a large formation temporarily in the Syrian city-state, and among the city-states known on Tianshu Road, there are only five cities guarded by the permanent magical big formation: The city of Des, Ephesus, the city of Hathu, the capital of Hati, the city of Nivel, the king of Assyria, and the city of Baron, the capital of Baron.
The magical array here is much more complete than the magical array that Collie once laid out temporarily. After full stimulation, it can be attacked and defended, and it can solidify the city. However, it is not always turned on normally, and only the detection function is retained. If you want to detect anomalies in and out of the entire city, you will consume several **** stones every day, and there is a great magician manage. Only Wang Du has this strength, and can send enough great magicians to perform this task in turn.
Amon ca n’t quietly pass through the detection of this magical array without being alarmed. He can only enter through the city gate during the day. He has a document issued by the city-state of the Promontory of the Egyptian Empire, Just fill in the name, you can prove the citizenship of the Egyptian Empire. But here is the Kingdom of Barron. Amon has no entry procedures. Holding such a document is more likely to cause trouble.
People entering the Kingdom of Barron do n’t have to show their proofs, but they have to be checked by the guards, who might be checked. Amun didn't want to find out what was wrong with what he was carrying. At least that bone could not be picked up by the hand. If it was searched, it would definitely attract special attention.
Amon did not expect to rely on the help of Gilgamesh when he entered the city this time. He heard a news that Gilgamesh will arrive with gifts for the Marduk God and Princess Xiaoxi three days later. There will be a grand celebration. The king ordered the people out of the city to greet him, and followed Gilgamesh's convoy into the city to hold a grand parade. Amon could be mixed into the parade and entered the city. It was impossible for a guard to check it.
Will he see Yin Nanna sitting on Gilgamesh ’s luxurious carriage and enter the palace with the hero in the cheers of Wanmin? ——Amon thought this way in his heart.
......
However, Amon did not see Yin Nanna three days later. Gilgamesh ’s carriage was still the original one. There was no carport and carriage with a large umbrella. Gilgamesh himself put on the majestic and magnificent dress of the aristocrat, accompanied by an exquisite samurai sword, standing under the Chinese umbrella to receive the cheers of the people, smiling and nodding and beckoning from time to time.
Gilgamesh ’s own carriage was the second in the city. The first carriage also had no carport, and it was decorated with two altar-shaped decorations. On top of it were the enlightenment of Enqidu. Snake tendons and snake teeth were pulled out. This is the bones of the legendary gods. Gilgamesh let them be exposed to the sun, so that all the people in the city welcomed by the road can see clearly.
Amon also sees it very seriously. Those snake tendons are larger than the ones he got in the river. Each one has the thickness of a thumb, and they are more than a foot wide together. The golden yellow body flashes in the sun. Youlan's luster is like the sparkling water waves flowing under the golden glow of the setting sun. Three coiled snake tendons were placed on the left and right altars, and four snake teeth were placed on each coiled tendon, two long and two short, more than three feet long, and more than two feet short, as you can imagine. How scary is that snake kiss
The bones of snake tendons and spirits are in Amon ’s baggage, so he is particularly interested. At the beginning, he was cautious not to use the detection divine technique to find out, lest doing so would expose himself in the crowd. . But when the convoy passed the city gate, Amon sensed countless mana fluctuations and came from all directions.
Some of them came from the Kingdom Guards who greeted Gilgamesh, some came from the city walls, and some came from the crowd of people welcomed by Jiadao. Amon did not find anyone in the crowd beside the road holding a staff to dress up the magician. It seems that many magicians today disguised themselves outside the city.
Who is not curious about the bones of the legendary gods? Even the great magical array that guards the city walls was intentionally launched. It must be the great magician who is in the manage magical array. With the help of the powerful detection ability of the large array, the snakes passing through the gate are carefully studied and analyzed. Teeth and snake tendons.
Since they put them on the first carriage, Gilgamesh entered the king capital without concealment, just to let everyone see it, to prove that this matter is true, and to increase the prestige of himself and Enqidu. , It seems to be both proud and extreme, but also frank and extremely extreme
There are still many women in the crowd. They are not interested in snakeskin and fangs, but they scream at Gilgamesh, waving various headscarves: "Dear Gil, great hero, I adore you ... you are quick Look, he smiled at me and nodded his hand. It was the great Jill beckoning at me. "The girls who shouted so happy fainted, but Jill was still humble and noble. 'S smile beckoned to everyone.
Unlike the **** girls, Amon is taking advantage of the chance that he will not be discovered, and he has also started to detect the magic technique to carefully sense Humba ’s snake tendons and long teeth. Those fangs are not the same as the bones in his leather pocket. The detective magic technique can be sensed very clearly, with a terrifying terror on it. At the same time that Amon condensed and sensed them, the roaring roar of thousands of bison roaring in the deep of his mind, with a huge impact and shock.
Amon had heard such a voice on the night that Enqidu beheaded Humbaba. If it were not his mind that was firm and profound, I am afraid that the meditation state of the Divine Art would be interrupted. He has judged that these fangs can be used to make the most high quality staff, and can also be used to create precious and rare magical artifacts. But they are not the same as Osiris' ribs. The bone in his pocket is either a real deity bone or has been magically processed.
There is only one sacred item in the temple of Isis, the "rib of the **** of darkness", and those fangs are already treasures that are hard to find in the world. Amon also has another feeling that if these fangs are used directly as weapons, they can carry the effect of a spiritual attack divine attack like roaring shock. After being processed by the master craftsman, this weapon will be even more terrible. V
