I do n’t know when a layer of ice has condensed on the ground in front of Ameng. The floating mist has not completely dissipated. A layer of white fog against the ground just covers the ice layer, and the surface of the ice layer still follows. The ripples of the mist flow seem to be in a semi-melted state, making it less likely to be noticed.
If it is usual, Hai Wen can still stabilize his body on the ice, but at the moment it is the end of a strong crossbow, and he can't catch it. But his response was extremely fast, and he didn't give up the attack when he couldn't control his body. The short knife held in both hands was still glorious and swept to Amon's waist.
Amon bowed his body and pushed the staff just to block the knife. The blade shattered, and the blade slipped along the staff. The tip of the knife had penetrated into Amon ’s chest, even if he went one inch deeper, You can pierce the heart and kill Amon, but the battle is over at this time. Amon's staff also smashed down, hitting Havin's head. The samurai was killed on the spot without even humming, and the short sword released his hand and threw himself on Amon's lap. Amon fell to the ground by him and didn't get up for a long time.
After a long time, Amon struggled to sit up and lifted Hai Wen ’s body to the side. The wounds on the back shoulder, chest, waist, and thighs no longer bleed, but the pain is painful. In the desperate fighting just now, he finally won the victory with the help of divine art. The remaining weak mana made him use only the staff to perform the simplest divine art.
Silently condensed a layer of ice on the ground. It was the old madman who first asked Amon to practice. That was how he restrained the horse company. When facing the powerful enemy today, it was still this hand that saved him at the last minute. Life.
Amon tired could n’t even stand up, and did n’t pay attention to the corpses and spilled things. He sat quietly with his eyes closed and rested, and the violent breath gradually calmed down. Schrödinger didn't know where he ran, and he never came back. Amon sat there until dark, without opening his eyes or moving. Once relaxed between life and death, exhausted, he didn't even want to move.
After the day was completely dark, Amon reached out a hand to pick up the staff and stood in front of him, a soft white light fell on him quietly, which he reunited for most of the day Healing magical arts on display. The wound that no longer bleeds healed slowly, but the painful feelings and the wounds in his body were not healed. He dropped his staff and began to practice divine meditation practice every night.
......
Julian, who was far away from the strait city-state, couldn't help but shed cold sweat just as Amon and Vitruh met. The high priest of the Temple of Isis just checked Nero ’s personal notes and found the one mentioned in his last words. This made it clear that the scroll that Nero left to Amon turned out to be the legendary “storm of destruction”
The reason why it is called a legend is because it is almost impossible to make such a scroll. Except for the records in the secret classics, very few people have really seen it. It is a high-level scroll that can be unfolded after mastering the Middle Level magic arts, but "Storm of Destruction" is different from any other scroll. To stimulate it, it must be at the expense of the user's life, and its power cannot be controlled at all.
It took a few years for Nero to devote countless efforts to the cohesive mana to produce successfully. Not to use it, just a challenge to prove himself, he finally reached the peak of the reel making skills. Once the storm of destruction began, it would not only burn the user's life, but also destroy all life within its power. It is said that Even the gods will be hit hard.
Julian thought of a possibility-
If Amon did n’t tell the truth, the three scrolls left by Nero alone were still in his hands, then when life was threatened and he was going to die with the enemy, destroying the storm was the last choice. If Amon really used this scroll, he was certainly dead, and Vitruu and Haven did not want to come back.
If this is the case, the action is not worth the loss. The captain of the guard and the confidante followed the inexplicable disappearance. Julian did n’t know how to explain it.
Julian can only secretly ask for the blessing of the gods. Amon did not use the scroll. Either he was not a magician, or Vitruh and others did not give him the opportunity to use the scroll. Julian thought again, even if Amon is a magician, I am afraid that he cannot have Middle Level achievements. His own worry is superfluous, and he laughs like a ridicule and wipes the cold sweat of his forehead.
......
When Julian, who was in a cape city-state, shed cold sweat, a young girl also showed a surprised look on a big boat in the Ronnie River.
This magnificent big ship is made of snowy cedar, and its head and tail are raised like a crescent moon. The hull is painted in precious pale gold with precious tree paint. Surgery array. In addition to the ship under the deck, the ship building on the deck is three stories high, decorated with luxurious, mysterious and solemn. It is the ship of the Virgin of the Temple of Isis on behalf of Pharaoh, who is under the control of the Pharaoh.
Two sacrificial ceremonies to the Roni River are held twice a year by the saint of the Temple of Isis representing Pharaoh manage. This ritual is actually throwing herds of cattle and sheep into the Ronnie River to feed the crocodiles, but it symbolizes the sacrifice to the **** of Ayurveda and Osiris, the protector of the Roni River.
The saint ’s presence is only manage. The priests lead the people on the shore to throw the slaughtered cattle and sheep into the river. Swarms of crocodiles swam over for food, opened their mouths with blood, and tore with sharp fangs. This horrible scene has given thousands of people a deep awe of the gods in the heart.
Maria wore a golden crown with a staff and sat expressionless on a high platform away from the shore. She did n’t want to see the scene by the river, but prayed to Goddess Isis silently in her heart. If it was a few years ago, this weak and pure girl, I am afraid that she would never dream of a ceremony like manage, but now as the patron saint of the Temple of Isis, she has no choice but to devote everything to the gods. .
After the ceremony, the madonna boarded the ship and sailed away from the shore. She will visit the Roni River on behalf of Goddess Isis. Thousands of people still knelt on the shore and paid homage to the top of the ship of the Virgin until the big ship disappeared from the horizon.
The boat was running down the river, and Mary was sitting on the terrace on the third floor of the ship building, looking at the vast flowing water and wondering what she was thinking. Gabriel's long hanging sword stood beside her, on both sides of the deck below, the saint's followers were sprinkling various prepared sacrifices, dough and various monsters made of sheep oil into the river. , Symbolizing the legendary story of Osiris beheading monsters and protecting the residents of Egypt.
At this moment, the tears of the gods inlaid on the staff of the Virgin suddenly radiated a little golden light, shining on Mary's face. A light golden glow was also reflected on Gabriel's colored armor.
Gabri was slightly startled, and whispered, "Madonna, what are you doing?"
Maria frowned slightly: "I didn't do anything and did not perform any magic arts. This is the spontaneous induction of the tears of the gods, which actually affected my mana."
Gabri asked, puzzled: "What's going on, how can the tears of the gods feel spontaneously? I've been with you for such a long time, I have never seen such a thing."
The tears of the gods gave golden light for only a moment, and then returned to normal. Mary looked at the staff and pondered, "I have never seen it, but there are records in ancient books, it is said that this is a god. The guidance and summoning of the symbolize a kind of metaphor-the spirit or the angel's messenger will come. "
Gabrielle was surprised: "Madonna, how are you to calm down the legendary miracles, are you so calm?"
Maria smiled slightly: "My great warrior, as a saint of the guardian spirit, should not be confused or surprised by the miracles. My inner shock is beyond your imagination, but I already know how not to Revealed. Just now I really felt that there seemed to be a silent call somewhere. "
It has been more than two years since the town of Kaiduk. Maria is eighteen years old this year. Her body is more mature than before, and her facial features have not changed much. You can recognize it at a glance. But almost everyone who saw her would never think of Ai Kou at that time. The girl in front of him was already the patron saint of the Temple of Isis, and there was a solemn and solemn atmosphere that could not be described.
The eyes are clear and quiet, with silent compassion. Under her gaze, it is inexplicable to feel that this is the gods watching, often feeling ashamed and daring not look forward to. This is a change in temperament and an inner connotation, but it always carries the shadow of the young girl Echo, but not everyone can see it.
Gabrielle asked again: "Where does the induction of the call come from?"
Maria reached out and pointed to the downstream: "Just far away from us."
......
Mary did n’t know that the tears of the gods on her staff suddenly glowed at the same time, while Amon was struggling to swing out his bones. The tears of the gods passed through the magic shield and were hitting Vitru ’s face on. Amun was less clear. Maria was coming down the Rhone River in a boat, gradually approaching where he was.
......
At the dawn of the next morning, Amon finally stood up with his staff. He heard a buzzing sound, and many flies fluttered their wings and landed on the wounded bodies. Two other wild dogs were tearing Obama's body, and Amon was alarmed, and he ran into the forest unwillingly.
Amon looked at the body of Haiwen in front of him and sighed softly. The warrior almost killed him, but eventually died in his hand. To date, he is the most terrible and respectable opponent Amon has encountered, but it is not clear what his name is. If Havin did not attack Amon at the last moment, he could escape.
Maybe it ’s that Amon is not an opponent at all, or maybe he has to complete the mission, and Haiwen eventually died here. Amon didn't want his body to be eaten by wild dogs, a wave of staff fired the ball, and the flame spread around the sea and burned him to ashes.
Amon thought about it and decided to incinerate all the corpses. These people have all been killed by him. All the enmity has ended. There is no need to expose them to the wilderness. And Amon does not want to leave this scene Traces of war. Before the corpse was burned, Amon had not forgotten to search the relics of these people, because his things were scattered with the corpses.
The scattered items found do not need to be counted. There are some **** stones and coins, as well as weapons and staffs. Of course, the most precious staff is the Obama one, and Vitruro ’s staff is also good. Two scrolls were found on Vitru's body, and one of the scrolls was left in the ashes from the incineration of the body of Haiwen. But the most important relics are two, both from Vitru's arms.
The first thing is the magic stone inlaid with the base of the Divine Array, which looks like a beautiful lamp. Amon actually recognized the old maniac ’s message that taught him how to make various magical artifacts. , Which mentioned "the lamp of chasing death". If it was very difficult for Amon to collect the materials by himself, and he didn't know how many times he had to fail to make it, he got a precious finished product today. He knows the usage and usage of this magical instrument, which is why he can't get rid of tracking.
The second thing is a letter, sealed in a cowhide sleeve and treated with magic. If the person who got the letter could not unlock the magic circle on the envelope, the letter inside would be destroyed when the envelope was opened, and naturally nothing could be seen. But this did not disturb Amon. He opened the letter intact. The content of the letter is written in the Egyptian scriptures of Egypt, and most people do not understand it. But Amon could just understand these words.
The letter was written by Julian to Burke, another high priest in the Temple of Isis. Amon took a breath after reading it. The letter mentioned the person he is familiar with-the Virgin Mary and the Great The warrior Gabriel, and the hidden feelings he had never known before.
Julian and Burke conspired to find a new order for the Virgin Mary to transfer him from the Strait-City to Mengfeisi in the name of emergency. The letter also mentioned Gabriel, saying that the virgin is young and ignorant. Many things are assisted by Gabriel on the side. You should find a way to transfer Gabriel from the temple so that she has no chance to come back. Julian recommended his own captain, Haiwen, and said that the warrior is very likely to be promoted to a big warrior, and he can take over the position left by Gabriel.
Amon originally only knew that Ai Kou had become the virgin of the Temple of Isis, but now she understood that the high priest of Isis had other selfishness. Sexual puppets only, there are even attempts to murder Gabriel. It seems that Gabriel is now the most esteemed assistant beside the virgin, and the assistant of the virgin should have been the high priest. Presumably, Echo's life will not be very comfortable.
Amon watched for a long time, and he had just gotten rid of the death threat. He began to worry about Echo again. Anyway, his destination is Meng Fei Si, must try to give this letter to Ai Kou, so that she can prepare and prevent. In Amon's mind, although Alcor-Maria has become the virgin of the Temple of Isis, for him, he will always be that weak and pure girl.
Amon did n’t know why he wanted to go to Mengfeisi. Did he visit Egypt ’s famous capital while traveling on the mainland? It was then that I suddenly realized it was because of Echo.
When he walked out of the mountains and faced a strange and unknown world, he first went to King Barron to find Mei Danzuo, the second stop went to the cape city-state to return Nero ’s staff, and the third stop was if there were If there is nothing to worry about. Ai Kou is in Meng Fei Si. Although she is a saint who lives above all peoples, Amon also has to take a look in person before she can let go of her heart, even if she only sees her from afar.
Seeing this letter, Amon realized that he was right. Is there really a call and guidance from the gods?
Amon carefully collected the letters, and put all the things he wanted to take away into his bones, and then burned the body and relics. He also changed a new set of clothes sent by Tashun, and threw the old, stained and damaged clothes into the fire. The flame rose with thick smoke, and everything that happened here dispersed with the wind.
After only a night of rest, Amon was far from recovering. He almost could n’t pick up the bone from the ground. It took a lot of effort to put it in the pocket of his clothes and hide it under the ribs.
Amon even put the iron stick in his bones, folded a real branch in his hand, and stumbled out of the valley. When the sun rose above the treetops, he finally came to the rushing Ronnie River and walked south along the river towards the upstream. The ferry was in that direction recently, and there was still a long way to go.
The sun is not very warm, but Amon gradually sweats, and his sweat is full, and his breathing is more and more rapid, until he is breathless. He felt dizzy, nauseous, his body was soft, and his eyes were black. There was always a little bit of light shining in his sight, and his footsteps were getting deeper and he could not even lift up. Every step, his footprints dragged on the beach Long, leaning on a branch can barely stand firm.
This feeling Amon once had. The last time he met the brothers of Abel and Cain outside the city of Uruk, it was too much mana. This time, not only the mana is consumed, but the physical strength and energy have exceeded the limit that can be withstood, coupled with the excessive blood loss from injuries, it can no longer be sustained at this moment.
Last night ’s short rest did n’t make him slow down, it just suppressed the injury. He knew that he had to find a place where people smoked quickly, otherwise he would collapse in the wilderness without self-preservation, and it would be a dead end. So Amon would fight his spirits and clear the battlefield towards the ferry at dawn, but the injury happened again at this time, which was unusually violent and exceeded the original expectations.
I do n’t know how far the ferry is. I ca n’t see a figure everywhere. This desolate river beach looks like an endless long, a stubborn and lonely figure of a young boy walks slowly. With one step, the branches in the hands are inserted deeper in the soil. At last I heard a "click", the branch was broken, and he fell to the ground.
Amon tried his best to get up, but eventually he just turned over and lay on the beach, even his eyelids became as heavy as the two mountains, and finally opened his eyes, just in front of the sunlight. The light in front of him was shining and piercing, as if there were countless transparent flying mosquitoes dancing, and the soil under him seemed to exude a strange smell, making his consciousness burst into a trance.
