Is Maria really sick? It looks very similar, but only Gabriel knows what is going on, it is not really sick, but now, Maria really needs to stay in Duque for a few more days.

On the night that the tears of the gods were received, Maria fainted. Even the devout prayers consume a lot of energy and energy. The environment of Duque Town makes adults Dick feel very uncomfortable. Maria also feels a little uncomfortable. Every day, except eating and sleeping, she concentrates all her energy on praying to Goddess Isis. Too.

Once the mind relaxes, it finally faints or falls asleep, which is the most common for ordinary people.

Maria had a hard-working maid by her side and a close-knit maid who had been sick for the past two days. Maybe she traveled a long distance across the desert and came to this uncomfortable place. Comfortable, neither the climate nor the environment is very adaptable. Lord Dick brought several servants and slaves for Mary to call, but Gabriel believed that they could not serve the saint's life directly.

Gabrielle said to Dick: "You firmly believe that Mary will become the patron saint of the Temple of Isis, and has already received the tears of the gods, then everything will treat her like a saint."

The Temple of Isis has a large field and countless slaves, but the status of the saint is detached. The things she uses cannot be directly delivered by the slave to the eyes, so the female slave cannot directly serve her. She must not have any physical contact with an adult man, and her clothes and food cannot be held in front of a woman who has had a man. The young and beautiful maids sent by Master Dick are obviously inappropriate.

Rod-Dick thought everything over and thought about it, but ignored it. It was n’t that he was n’t careful enough. According to the regulations, only after the official ceremony held in the Temple of Isis will the approved candidate of the Virgin become the true Virgin. Gabriel demanded in advance in accordance with the conditions for treating the Virgin, and seemed to be meticulous, lest there be any unexpected mistakes from now until the successful return to the Temple of Isis.

That ’s fine, at least it shows that the messenger of the temple has already recognized Mary ’s virgin identity in her heart.

Mary is not really sick. Since Gabriel ’s duty is to protect her, of course, it also includes ensuring her health. After Maria woke up in a sleepy night, Gabriel had treated her with a simple blessing divine magic. Her body was no problem, and she could safely cross the desert under the protection of Gabriel.

But Gabriel had other things to do, and he didn't even tell Rod Dick. She wants to teach the most basic magic in the Temple of Maria Isis-the test of God. The criteria for selecting the Virgin is not only to get the tears of the gods, but also to be able to awaken the power given by the gods. That is what Gabriel wanted to teach Mary to do.

This process is usually difficult, but with the help of the tears of the gods, it can be much simpler, which is one of the reasons why the tears of the gods are so precious. Only by awakening the power given by the gods and passing the most basic test of God can we prove that Mary can use the tears of the gods in the future and bless the people in his temple.

Mary has got the tears of the gods. If she can do this before reaching the Temple of Isis, she will naturally become a true saint. If she can't do it for a long time, things may be twisted. Gabriel escorted Mary to the town of Duque for thousands of miles, witnessed the tears of the gods personally, and witnessed Maria's piety, already convinced of her virgin identity, so decided to take this as soon as possible step.

Doing so does not violate God ’s will. After Mary arrives at the Temple of Isis, the priests of the temple will teach the magic in accordance with the procedure and will be evaluated within the prescribed time. Gabriel advanced the ceremony in advance and gave her special care.

Master Rod-Dick is still worried about one thing, that is, the priests of the temple are making trouble, not teaching Maria ’s true magic or deliberately procrastinating while teaching, so that she has failed to pass the assessment and let others The candidate of the Virgin of the City State has the opportunity to steal this position, and is considering how to make public offerings and private bribes. Gabriel did not say anything. The troubles that Dick had worried had been solved in private. The rest of it was up to Maria herself.

After all, protecting Mary came here all the way and got the tears of the gods. Even Gabriel felt lucky. This is a gift of Goddess Isis. She has a description of this pure and pious girl. The kindness shown, willing to help her.

Professor Gabriel ’s divine magic is still a kind of prayer, but it requires sincere faith and a peaceful heart, with a special ritual to awaken the strange power given by the gods and pass the test of God.

Mary asked her, "How will the gods test me?"

Gabriella, who has always been serious, rarely smiled: "Pray to the tears of the gods, according to the way I teach you, you will get the strange power given by the gods, but at the same time, the desire that is awakened is also the desire lurking in the soul of the people. .You have to learn how to face these desires, and do not sway the mind and faith for it. This is the test of God, and the threshold for entering the hall of magic .... Your heart is so pious and pure, it is not difficult to pass this test. How should I ask myself for a saint, I no longer need to say more. "

Mary asked a little hesitantly: "It is not necessary to have the manage ceremony of the priests after arriving at the Temple of Isis to be able to accept such a test? ... Am I doing this now against God's will? ? "

Gabrielle shook his head: "You didn't violate God's will. I did this so that you could successfully pass the test of God. If you fail, you won't get the approval of the gods, but I believe You can. "Seeing Maria was still a little puzzled. Gabriel thought about it and said," I tell you something, what just happened in this town today. "

Gabrielle talked about the dispute on the north square of the town, and finally said: "I think that what Mr. Aristotle said is not unreasonable. The will of the gods is a big premise. As long as you pass the test, you get it. The approval of the gods, because you, as a candidate for the Virgin, have already got the tears of the gods. "

Maria blinked her big beautiful eyes for a long time, and finally nodded: "Yes, you are right. You are clearer than the rules of the Temple of Isis. I will not let you down."

Gabrielle shook his head gently again: "No, not me, you will not let the great Madonna Goddess Isis down."

At this moment, Mary suddenly thought of something and asked doubtfully: "But you have been here just now, how can you hear what the people on the other side of the town say, every sentence is so clear, and I have nothing Hear, is this the power of the gods? "

Gabrielle smiled again: "This is the power given by the gods. I heard the voice of each of them, as long as I condensed my spirit to listen .... As the virgin of the Temple of Isis, you I will have a much stronger divine power than me. I am a warrior. It is impossible to learn higher-level magic, and you will master the supreme magic of the Temple of Isis. "

As soon as I said this, I heard the voice of the maid downstairs: "Master Gabriel, Mr. Aristotle has found the servant you need and brought him."

......

Amon knows very well that it ’s Aristotle and the old maniac who saved him today. It ’s not surprising that the old maniac will help him, but this strange young man is obviously an aristocrat. Why should he help a stranger? miner? Amon is very grateful and is very happy to have the opportunity to serve this gentleman. Isn't it just to be a three-day servant, not to mention the generous reward of one gold coin per day.

On the way, Amon expressed gratitude and, according to the most solemn etiquette he knew, wanted to kneel down and kiss the soil in front of Aristotle's feet. Aristotle stopped him, and said with a smile: "Child, you don't have to be like this, you are not my slave, I am not a **** or monarch." Then he looked at him and asked again: "Do you want to ask me why I will help you?" "

Amon nodded: "Yes, sir, I want to ask."

Aristotle looked at the distance and seemed to say to himself: "I came from a distance from the mainland, a place called Heaton, where there are many city-states, I used to study at Plato Academy, my teacher said, 'Why do we Ask for knowledge, virtue is knowledge, smart people want to be a kind person '. "

Amon blinked, remembering and asking, "Hitton? Have you heard of a sage named Ta'at?"

Aristotle was slightly taken aback: "I met him at Plato Academy, he was a student of my teacher's friend Theodoro, kid, how could you ever hear his name?"

Amon replied: "An old man in the town told me the old gentleman who spoke to you just now." The name Tay Tade, named Amon, was heard by the old maniac, and it was said that the sage claimed There are only five kinds of regular polyhedrons in the world, and regular dodecahedrons are the most special one. It is the outline of the world outlined by God, contains the fifth element of mysterious information, and is the source and symbol of the mysterious power.

Amen originally thought it was the old maniac's drinking talk, but I didn't expect this person to really exist. It seems that the old maniac is telling the truth.

The two continued to walk towards the south end of the town. Aristotle seemed to be very interested in the child. While walking, they asked again: "We just discussed the oracle in front of the temple. You can know the true spirit of the surname of the **** and leave the oracle. Why are your gods called patron saints? "

Why? The deity is the deity, the oracle is the oracle, it seems that the residents in the town have never pursued this question, and Amon did not answer, but said very respectfully: "Sir, please give pointers."

Aristotle smiled: "Actually, I'm not sure, but I just want to discuss with you. That's why it is called the protector's oracle, because it really protects the residents here. The **** stone produced here is so precious Mining skills are handed down from generation to generation, how can we stop people from underage and drive underage children to undertake such heavy work? In order to protect the artisans here from generation to generation, and not let young men die? "

Amon ’s somewhat chaotic mind seemed to be woken up by a line of aura, suddenly understood what he said, and nodded and said: "The Oracle, this is the Oracle! No adult child ca n’t learn the skills of a miner, and a woman ca n’t mine a **** stone. ! "

Aristotle also nodded and said, "Yes, that's why the gods in that temple are called protectors, no matter how the oracle was first passed down, but this kind of oracle is really needed here. Child, you If you become a priest in the future, you must also protect such oracles, but you must understand the true spirit of the surname of the **** and its origin, not the priest just now. "

After thinking about this, he thought for a while and could n’t help laughing again, turning his head to look at Amon said: "The spirit of the oracle is a man under the age of sixteen, and he is not allowed to learn the skills of miners, but it is used locally. In language, permission and may be a vocabulary. Can you understand what I mean? So today the priest cannot debate with me, but you must understand the difference, otherwise you will be as confused as others. "

From the north of the town to the south of the town, Amon has been thinking deeply. While talking, the small building where Mary lives is here.
