This sentence was once asked by Amon to Maria, and Maria asked him the same way today, the meaning is very complicated, maybe only the two of them can understand it, and only a simple greeting.

Amon replied: "I have had a good life, I have never been so leisurely, but I am always waiting."

Maria ’s eyes are so soft and quiet, just looking at him like this: "What are you waiting for?"

Amon also looked at her, his eyes were so natural: "I am waiting for your summons, and I am also waiting for you to ask. I once said that I will return to Duque Town, and will also guide the tribes to their hometown."

Maria nodded gently: "I remember, you said you have something to do, how long will it take?"

Amon: "More than two months."

Maria: "In a month, I will send you to perform the mission, go deep into the area of ​​Duque surrounded by swamps, investigate the topography and landforms there, and report every detail change as much as possible. You It is the person who is most familiar with it and also the most suitable for this task. "

Amon: "Thank you, I will definitely complete this task."

Maria said without worry: "I want to remind you that after the flood, many monsters have appeared in the mountains, plains, swamps, and deserts. This trip is full of danger."

Amon was slightly surprised: "I just passed by last year, didn't you meet?"

Maria asked: "Where did you arrive from where?"

Amon: "I traveled from the south of the inland lake to the Syrian city-state through the desert."

Maria explained: "The places where monsters infest are mainly northwest of the Inland Lake. As the floods receded, they have appeared in large numbers in the past half a year. There are also many poisonous scorpions in the desert. ... The magician protection? But there is no way to enter the brigade, and this is a cross-border operation, and it cannot be an open identity. "

Amon shook his head and said: "No, I grew up there. It ’s more convenient to go by myself. As for the dangers, I have experienced too much and I ’m not afraid. Whether it ’s dangerous or not, I ’m always doing it. To go, I heard that there are a lot of monsters in that area, and I have to go and find out more. "

Maria sighed softly: "There may be more than one path that people can choose from. There is a thousand miles of fertile soil in the middle of the mainland that will be monsters. . Do you have to guide the tribes to return to their hometowns? In Egypt, like many ordinary people, starting a family and starting a business may be better off. "

She clearly persuaded Amon that she must have read the document "The Land of Marduk" and knew that the situation in that place would be complicated. Amon replied very sincerely: "I have promised the dead and the guardian spirits. I must find the descendants of Duque Town and guide them back to their hometowns. Unless they are unwilling, I will try my best to complete the promise. . "

Maria seemed a little hesitant, but in the end she said, "At the blessing ceremony that day, you found the assassin. Not only did you throw a javelin to block the arrow. I saw it clearly on the high platform, and you rushed immediately To the place where the assassin appeared, I was very worried at that time. Fortunately, the assassin escaped faster than you chased, otherwise you would be in danger of life. Gabriel finally caught the arrow, and she told me in private that she also Not that person's opponent. "

Amon said frankly: "Thank you for your worry, but that is what I should do. The soldiers rushed to the enemy on the battlefield, and their lives were in danger at any time. Should they turn and escape?"

Maria ’s tone was a little emotional: "I should thank you, I should also help you with your affairs, but I do n’t know how much I can help you. There is still one month away from the task to go, I will send you to inspect one Place, when you get there, you will understand what I want to tell you. "

Madonna not only sent Amon to the Duque town area to carry out investigative missions, but also sent him to visit a place before departure, which was very meaningful in words. Amon did not ask, and stood up to salute: "Thank you for your arrangement."

Looking at Maria ’s appearance, she wants to stand up, and finally sits in a chair and gestures: "Do n’t thank me, you will understand when you get there, I regret that I ca n’t help you more."

The conversation between the two was very short, and the Lady Madame did not have more time to summon a small guard captain alone. From the beginning to the end, Amon ’s attitude was respectful. The only difference was that The eyes of the two were constantly looking at each other. When Amon retreated and turned around in front of the door, Maria suddenly said: "Amon, take this, I think you should read more of these classics."

Amon turned around again and saw that Mary also stood up, holding a piece of paper in her hand. He walked back quickly, and took the paper with both hands, and accidentally touched the tip of their fingers. This is an excessive behavior. He must not touch the body of the saint or deliver the saint ’s personal belongings directly. Even if he is a captain, the lightest punishment is to cut off this finger.

It's really funny. This is the second time Amon has faced this kind of punishment, but the Lady Saint has no blame, nor has she summoned a servant to punish Amon. Gently let go of Amon. Then he said quietly: "I forgot to ask the servant to pass this paper to you, just put it on the table and take it yourself."

This sentence is a reminder. She didn't have to say it, but she said it after all. Amon realized that he was overstepping and hurriedly saluted the sin, but his fingertips always felt a soft feeling, which made him ashamed again. Maria shook her head and said, "It's not your fault, it's not your fault. Why do you have to blame? ... I will summon you when you leave in a month."

Amon got up and looked up, and there was only a table between them. He looked at Mary again, and there was an impulse in his heart, remembering the unfinished kiss. God, at this moment, he really wanted to kiss her. The urge to kiss her made Amon lower his head, stopped looking at her, and bowed out of the study.

......

The Temple of Isis is not only the buildings in the city of Mengfeisi, but also the large pastures, farms, and groups of slaves. The place where Mary sent Amon to the inspection was near the Herak city state south of Morpheus, about two hundred miles west of the Rhone River. There is a dry climate away from river valleys, a semi-desert zone, with many tall stone mountains.

Sparse grass grows at the foot of the mountain. There are only drought-tolerant shrubs in the cracks between the mountains. From a distance, the earth is earthy yellow, and the mountains are dark brown. Cheng is very simple. This place is very important for the Temple of Mengfeisi. It is one of the most important stone production areas of Xia'eju, named He Lieshan.

Amen is the messenger who came to visit He Lieshan and is also responsible for escorting the Shenshi produced this season back to Mengfeisi. He received a very warm hospitality in He Lieshan, where the master is a sixth-level magician and senior priest named Blanca. The environment here is very difficult, and the living conditions are far from comparable to Mengfeisi City, but there is also a little advantage, that is, there is enough oil and water. Do n’t forget that He Lieshan produced the Shenshi.

Although in a desolate area, Lord Blanca knows how to enjoy it. The courtyard where he lives is very luxurious, and even uses the environment to set up a magic circle to make a courtyard cool and moist. The water he uses every day is transported from the Roni River. After special purification, he can also eat the fresh vegetables transported from the Herak city-state, not to mention cattle, sheep and wine.

Visiting here is a fat one, not to mention the fact that Amon was hand-picked by the Virgin this time, and it is naturally slightly different from the previous special envoys. Blanca felt a little uneasy in his heart. He knew that the Virgin had the first power and was afraid that something wrong with him would be detected and was just taken out of Liwei. So when Amon arrived, he presented a generous gift.

Blanca ’s worries are superfluous. Amon does not want to find fault, nor does he want to blackmail him. He saw the surprise of Blanca, smiled and received the gift, after checking the accounts, he counted the stone in the cellar and ordered the shipment of the things that should be returned to the Temple of Isis this season. Blanca finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Amon did n’t care how good Blanca was entertaining, nor did he deliberately pick up his faults. Just a few days before arriving at He Lieshan, he spent most of his time reading in his room. The piece of paper that Mary gave him was the file number of several volumes. Amon borrowed it from the archives and took it on the road to read.

Not all the documents in the Isis Temple Archives are written in divine scripts. As a warrior, Amon can also apply to borrow some volumes recorded in secular writing, but he has n’t read a single book during this time. , Those secret scriptures recorded in divine writing could not be overturned until Mary gave him this list of books.

Amon did n’t think in advance that Maria let him read the book of tactics, how to march, how to integrate logistics, how to arrange battle lines, how to manage various arms, how to command the regiment and so on. Amon is a warrior, and he has achieved level 6 achievements at a young age. He may become a warrior in the future. Looking at these classics, does Mary expect him to become a general?

Just reading the military book will certainly not be a good general, but it is also very useful. The proportion of literate people on the Tianshu mainland is very small, and even fewer people can understand the art of war. And Maria ’s classics for Amon to learn are very complete and systematic. Basically, what should be done to deal with the situations encountered in the battle are mentioned, at least let him have the starting capital.

If he becomes a great warrior and has learned the art of warfare systematically, he will definitely be eligible to become the leader of the army in the future. Is this a hint from Maria? Amon studied very seriously and still silently deduced the various war scenes mentioned in the book. From the road of Mengfeisi City to He Lieshan, he took all the contents of the book in his mind.

After checking the accounts, the **** stones to be shipped were also sealed, but Amon did not leave immediately because he still had inspection missions. On the third day of arriving at Helie Mountain, Amon made a request to Blanca to go to the mine's origin to see all the processes of mining the Shenshi. Since Mary sent him here, it must be of interest, and of course Amon must visit every place.

Blanca persuaded at the wine table: "Master Envoy, you don't have to go to that kind of place in person. If you really want to visit, just look at the scene where the magicians are mining the core, I will be there The report praises how serious and meticulous the adults are to complete. "

Amon smiled secretly in his heart. It seems that people here do not know his origin. He is a genuine miner. The backyard of the house where he grew up is a workshop. He explained with a smile: "You don't have to call me lord, although I am a special envoy, but my identity is still a civilian. The sage lady ordered me to patrol the mine, I naturally have to be loyal to the duty, walk everywhere, noble adults Where it is inconvenient to go, I should go too. "

He is not a noble? This point Blanca already knows, but the guard captain John, who is also on the wine table, showed a look of surprise and contempt. John was born in a large aristocratic family in the city of Mengfeisi. Now he is also a sixth-level samurai like Amon. He has a brutal personality and has wounded people in conflict.

John is proud of nature and has resentment in the hearts of nature in this place where the bird does not shit. Now there is a special envoy who is said to be deeply appreciated by the saint, who happened to do a few things and happened to be a civilian. Promoted to captain of the guard. Contrary to his own experience, John felt very depressed, and at the same time looked down on Amon, inadvertently showing it on the wine table.

Amon knew John ’s emotions, but pretended not to see them, and said to Yan Yuese: "Adult Blanca does n’t have to be serious, nor do you have to personally accompany me to those places where there is so much smoke, and send some subordinates to lead the way Go through it again, so that you can complete the task completed by the Virgin. "

The Helieshan Mine has a large area, producing not only **** stones, but also stones for building temples and pyramids. Amon went to the mine on the first day, like returning to a familiar hometown. The mines here are much larger than those outside Duque Town, with guards to maintain order, craftsmen in command, and most of the mining work is done by slaves, working very hard.

The next day he inspected several ore veins that produced Shenshi, accompanied by a specially responsible engineer, visited the entire process of excavation and mining of nuclear, and also saw that the ore core was mined with his own eyes, feeling very cordial. He walked around several veins and found that the distribution range of the veins here is much larger than that of Duque Town. The number of miners is more than ten times that of Duque Town, but the output of Shenshi is less than one-tenth of Duque Town. .

On the morning of the third day, Amon inspected the last step of mining the stone. In a large and clean stone house, there were dozens of low-level magicians who used the staff to open the core of the mine to take out the stone. These magicians are sent by the Temple of Isis, and they rotate on a quarterly basis. It is a training task. They all have separate workshops, and there are slaves around them at any time.

Amon saw the number of these magicians and the speed at which they opened the mine cores. Comparing the total amount of **** stones collected in this season, after a slight calculation, he found that something was wrong, and asked the priest who accompanied the inspection: "These gods According to my statistics this morning, the magic stone mined by the magician, if converted into the output of each quarter, only about 60% of the magic stone handed over this time, is it that the output has recently declined? "

The responsible priest hurriedly explained: "It ’s not like that, there are another group of people working on mining cores, but their status is low and their work places are crowded. Anyway, they should watch everything, Mr. Amon There is no need to go again. "

Amon was stunned. There is indeed a situation here. The final step of mining the core is done by the magician. How can there be people with low status? He immediately said: "I have even entered the mine, not to mention the workshop to open the mine core? Since I came, of course I have to visit all the places, so take me there."

The priest reluctantly said, "It's already noon. Let's go around after lunch."

There was fine wine at lunch, and several entourages accompanying the patrol kept urging Amon to drink. Amun drank a lot, but he was not drunk, and urged his entourage to inspect the rest of the place after eating. The responsible priest had no choice but to take Amon to a group of stone houses guarded by the guard.

This is like an independent village, surrounded by low and humble houses, but in the middle of the group of stone houses, there is a big hall. The roof of the hall is not high, the door is very narrow, and there are guards holding weapons in front of the door.

Amon had not entered the door, he heard a loud yell inside: "You dirty miner, looking for death, dare to damage the **** stone ... The special envoy of the Temple of Isis has come here, and ordered to mine enough for this season. God's stone, but you can never complete the task, no one wants to have a good end, he is a role model "

With the roar and the fierce wind from the whip, Amon was walking in, and he heard the words and jumped in one arrow step

The hall has a large area, and benches are lined up around it. Dozens of rough-dressed miners are working with a sledgehammer. On the anvil is the mined core, just the last step. Remove the **** stone. Behind a workbench near the door, a weak young man was holding a heavy ore hammer. The core in front of him had been turned into powder. At first glance, it was known that the force was not perfect when the hammer fell, and even the **** stone was damaged.

Amon recognized the boy at a glance. The facial features and angles were so familiar, but now he was dark and thin. It was Moses, the son of Mayor Dustin

Ho Lieshan ’s guard captain John was angry, waving a long whip to Moses. With a flower in front of his eyes, the whip sturdily hit the back of a man, and his clothes ripped apart leaving a blood stain on his skin. The man slowly turned around with a sullen face, his chest was violently ups and downs, as if forcibly suppressing a rising anger, it turned out to be Amon, the inspector sent by the Temple of Isis.

John was also taken aback, and quickly lowered his whip and said: "Mr. Amon, why did you suddenly rush in? My whip can't be pulled out, I'm sorry to hurt you, it was an accident"

The entourage were also shocked and asked: “Mr. Amon, did you hurt badly? Do n’t blame Lord John, he did n’t do it on purpose. Let ’s help you go back to apply the medicine, and we will stop here. , You should take a good rest when you are injured ... "V
