Chapter 145

He even called the name he hadn't mentioned for a long time. Maria's long eyelashes trembled slightly. She looked back at the table in front of her eyes and asked in a low voice, "how do you understand that?"

Amun replied: "it's just a very simple truth. I have personally proved that when I lost the power to command thousands of troops, I didn't feel that I had lost anything, or even thought about it! But since this time, I have been thinking about the lost power, because the road I pursue is so difficult, but it did not belong to me. I don't want to find that power, nor am I giving up that power. Whether I have it or not, it will not change. I am still sitting in front of you, Amun, as if I were an imperial general or not

Maria laughs: "you finally really understand that this is not a test of your strength, your once powerful and magical, is precisely today's trouble. Like ordinary pancakes, it has not changed, but when a person has tasted all the delicacies, can he still enjoy the delicious food? But delicacy or delicacy does not mean giving up! "

Amun also laughed: "listen to your words, should have achieved eight levels, Congratulations! Can I ask you a few questions? I haven't seen any relevant records in the classics of Isis temple. Are there any other great warriors or great magicians who have to face this test when they are promoted from level 7 to level 8? "

Maria thought for a moment and replied, "it's true that there is no clear record, but this may happen. When a seven level warrior reaches the peak of his strength, he sometimes feels weak like a newborn baby. He seems to have to grow up again to gain strong strength. Some of them will be promoted to level 8 warriors. Some level 7 magicians will feel that the increase of magic power can't bear and can't adapt to it. They can't use magic for a period of time. It doesn't happen to everyone. It lasts for different times and takes different forms. I've never heard of it like you. "

It is no wonder that the old madman would leave a message like that in the pupil of the earth. Amun asked curiously, "how did it happen? Why is it not recorded in the classics?"

Maria frowned a little, thought and replied, "the number of great warriors or Great Magicians is very small. This situation does not necessarily happen, and it appears in different forms. There are some mentioned in the books of Isis temple, but they are not very clear. There are many records in the archives of eju Seminary. When the power of a great magician or warrior is disturbed, he will not let others know publicly, but will only pray to gods or ask for help from a trusted high priest in private.

Some people think that this is the test of the gods, others think it is the contempt of the gods after the expansion of power, and the belief is shaken and even punished by the gods. But the most authoritative view so far is that there are mistakes or deviations in practice. After all, there are not many systematic experiences that can be fully referred to. Many of them are personal explorations. "

Amun involuntarily leaned forward and was interested in asking, "how should we help them in this situation?"

Maria: "there's no set rules. Each person's situation is different. If a warrior feels weak and sticks to the basic exercise and grows up like a new born or Reborn warrior, according to some people's description, it seems that there is a seed sprouting in his body and he has acquired a new blood. At this time, he will be promoted to level 8 warrior, but more people just recover their strength and do not advance.

As for the great deities, they often ask the gods for help in their prayers and reflect on whether their faith has been shaken. They usually close their doors and thank guests for quiet meditation. The results are usually the same. The eju seminary occasionally held a private ceremony to help them recover their strength.

The main purpose of this ritual is to make them feel the gaze of the gods, to make their faith pure and firm, and not to despise the gods because of the expansion of power. It has no fixed form and varies from person to person. It is neither like the initial awakening of power nor the second awakening of power held for the great warrior. Only the great magician who has such experience can give guidance. "

Amun nodded thoughtfully and said a word: "the awakening of power."

Maria also nodded and said, "do you have a special name for this kind of ceremony? Do you need me to hold such a ceremony for you She looked at Amun with a smile when she spoke. The implication was that she had a similar experience, but she had successfully passed the test and became a level 8 master of divinity.

Amun stood up and saluted: "I don't know how to express my gratitude. If there is such a ceremony, you have already held it for me."

Maria blinked her eyes. She looked like a little girl. She said, "Amun, how can you thank me?"

This sentence asked Amun, as if it was one of the most difficult questions in the world. How could he thank her? Maria has done too much for Amun. She not only saved his life on the Ronnie River and brought him back to the Isis temple, but also guided him to find the people in DUK Town, let him learn the art of war, recommend him to be the commander of the army, and seized a seemingly impossible opportunity to realize his wish. Amun has made incredible contributions with his own efforts, but without Maria's help and guidance, it would be unthinkable.

He stood there stunned for a long time and then replied, "I don't know how to thank you. Without you, I would not have everything today. But I don't know what else I can do for you besides sitting here and staring at you? "As the guardian saint of Isis temple, Mary has no lack of wealth and power. In the eju Empire, she only had to salute the gods and the pharaohs, and her status was equal to that of the Prime Minister of the Empire, the chief high priest of the Empire, and the chief elder of the imperial theological Academy. Aman can give her, Maria already has, what Maria does not have, Amun can not give her, she is a benefactor he will never be able to repay.

It is rare for Maria to make a joke with Amon, but Amun answers so seriously and solemnly that they are silent for a moment. Amun stands and Maria sits with her eyes interwoven and looks into each other's eyes. After a while, Maria whispered, "I know your strength and your will is almost perfect, but I see your weakness in your eyes. Without this weakness, you may become truly perfect and strong. "

Weakness? Only Maria's reflection is in amon's eyes at the moment! He once again lowered his eyes and said, "perhaps there is a defect, is to experience the real perfection of the world."

Maria looked at him and stopped talking. At last, she laughed. She stopped pestering the topic. She raised her mouth and said, "you haven't answered my question. How can I thank you?"

Amun also laughed: "I really don't know how to thank you. If the saint has any orders, please open your mouth, I will not refuse!"

Maria blinked. "Oh? In that case, I want to ask the general for something. "

Amun was stunned: "what do you want? I can give you anything I have. "

Maria looked up at the frescoes on the roof and said, "when you first came to eju, you wanted to return Nero's remains. However, Nero's will was not strictly enforced. In his last words, he mentioned one thing, allowing the person who returned the relics to check his personal notes.

After you came to Isis temple, I made a special investigation. You didn't see it at that time. Later, I sent the note to Memphis. Nero's designated content was a scroll introduction called the destruction storm. Nero once made a legendary storm of destruction. Amun, tell me, is it in your hands

Amun nodded helplessly: "yes, this scroll is in my hand, accompanied me through countless dangers."

Maria held out a hand across the table. "That's what I want. Give it to me now."

Amun asked: "what do you want it to do?"

Maria's smile became a little playful: "general, you made such a firm promise just now. Why do I hesitate when I really ask for something? Give it to me first, and then tell you why. Take it out. You must take it with you. "

Amun reached into his arms and drew a small gray scroll from his clothes under his right rib. He took a few steps in his hands and placed it carefully on Maria's table. Instead of retreating, he looked at Maria with his hand on the table and said, "the virgin can tell me now, why do you want this scroll, and how do you know I will take it with you?"

Maria reached for the most precious and dangerous scroll in the world, rubbed it gently and replied, "it's not that I need it, but you don't need it anymore! I have checked the details of this scroll. It is not unfolded with mana, but with a pledge of life. People who use it only need to have medium level magic achievements, which is the only scroll you can use at present. How can you not take it with you? When you come to see me today, I can feel the anxiety hidden in your heart. Only by handing it to me can you really extricate yourself from the trouble. "

Amun sighed. "Please take this scroll and seal it in the temple of Isis."

Maria laughed, as like as two peas, she suddenly waved and took out a same gray scroll and threw it to amon road. "Thank you for giving me such a precious thing, and I will give you a gift."

Amun reached out his hand to catch it and said, "destroy the storm! You have one too Why, there seems to be something wrong with it! " In other words, Amun throws a destructive storm in front of Maria. He not only does not dodge, but also reaches out to catch it. In another case, he may have broken out of the door and run away.

Maria said with a smile, "do you find something wrong? This scroll is indeed as like as two peas. The same material and method of production are just written without success. When it explodes, all people in the attack range will feel the traction and fluctuation of life power, but they will not be harmed

Amun cried and laughed: "fake! Who would make such a scroll? "

Maria shook her head and said, "it's quite difficult to process such a reel. A long time ago, the temple of Isis gathered a group of Great Magicians in an attempt to create a storm of destruction, but they failed many times. In the end, there was only such a blank scroll. This kind of blank scroll has been made several times, which is the basis of processing the destruction storm. However, it can not successfully condense the mana to complete the writing. It will be damaged in the middle of the way, and even cause energy explosion, causing heavy casualties, so it has to give up.

This last blank scroll is still very precious. In theory, it can continue to process the real destruction storm, but in my opinion, it is no longer necessary. You're the only one in the world with a real storm of destruction, so you can detect something wrong, but can anyone else tell? Even if we can distinguish it and suspect that it is fake, who dares to make this bet?I know that the real destruction storm is in your hands, and someone else must know. The power of this scroll is not that you use it, but that people know you have it. If one day you really use it, it's just a choice of what kind of way to self destruction, I never want to see this day. Now do you understand why I do this? "

Amun finally understood Maria's intention. He couldn't help but hold her hand, but he didn't really put out his hand. He just stood at the table and looked at her. Two people are also more than three feet away, breathing can feel each other's breath. Maria looked up at Amon, and suddenly dropped her eyelashes. "Why do you have to live like this? Maybe it's time to have a family. In fact... "

Amun interrupted her: "I'm still young and don't want to talk about it!"

At this time, Gabriel reported in a loud voice outside the door: "saint, the Lord of Memphis, please meet and discuss with you about the protection of the blessing ceremony."

Maria gently sighed and put away the storm of destruction, raised her voice and answered with dignity: "please come in. It happens that general Amun is also there."

……

After leaving Maria, he left the temple together with the Lord of Daya. Amun returned to his temporary residence in Memphis, immediately called for medanzo and ordered him to return to his territory to do something. Amun finally decided to let Moses and others set out. Nominally, they were Amun's slaves. They went to another territory to reclaim at the command of the general.

Amun didn't send any escort, but gave Moses a warrant to lead his people back home. Amun also ordered medanzo and link to follow in secret. If there was any unexpected danger, they would solve it quietly and do not have to show up openly. When these clansmen are in danger, medanzo and rink can appear in the name of aroha emissary in time to give guidance of confidence and courage.

The journey is a long journey. First of all, we have to go through the hinterland of the desert, jungle, wasteland and swamp where monsters run wild. It is also a test of will and faith. Under normal circumstances, the main dangers encountered in this trip should be in the desert and swamp outside eju, and it is OK to take the official road between the city states in eju. For convenience, Amun gave medanzo and link several precious magic tools, including crystal flying shuttle, lamp of chasing the past and puppet eye glasses.

Medanzo left Memphis in the afternoon of the same day. Moses and others had dozens of cars and a large number of living materials. The speed on the road would not be too fast. It would take at least several months to reach DUK plain.

When mendanzo left, John felt very bored, because Amun only looked through all kinds of ancient books in his room on weekdays, hardly went out, and his bodyguard captain could not go out for a stroll. Amun saw that. When he had dinner that day, he asked John with a smile: "before you went to Mount Horeb, you had been living in Memphis. Where do you usually go to play at night? It's better to take me to see it

John was overjoyed and said with a smile, "general, I've been waiting for you to say that! Just follow me. It's my treat tonight

Amun changed his comfortable plain clothes and went out with John. He didn't take any personal guards. Instead, John drove to a very prosperous block in the west of the city. It was far away from the temple, but close to the place where shops were concentrated. John stopped in front of the door of a brightly lit courtyard. Amun's look was a little strange. It turned out to be the most luxurious brothel in the city of Memphis.

Amon knew this place. Aesop had gone shopping with him in the past. He had passed by the gate of the brothel and mentioned that it only received nobles. Lord Theo was so rich that he couldn't go in and have fun, which was one of the regrets in his life. At that time, Theo was not an aristocrat, nor was Amun. However, Amun had never been to any brothel, and there was nothing to regret.

As soon as he saw Amun's expression, John was happy. He grabbed his arm and whispered, "God Amun, you should have experienced all kinds of human situations. You should know that life is not only about practice or combat. You are so young and handsome as an imperial general. You should come to such places to show your face more often! "

He pulled amon in. John was obviously familiar, and even the guys here knew him. As soon as he entered the door, he ordered the servant of the brothel to take the carriage away, and then he called out in a loud voice. He asked someone to arrange the best incense hall for him. Everything was in accordance with the highest standard, and it didn't matter how much money was spent.

They entered a separate small incense hall, the so-called small hall area is absolutely not small, with spacious large reclining chairs, the table in front of which is placed with delicious food and wine. There is a pool in front of the table. It is warm water in the pool, and there are petals on it. After sitting down, someone played an instrument. The band played behind a screen wall, and could not see the situation in the hall.

As soon as John sat down, he told the lads to call all the best girls here and dance and sing on the carpet in front of the pool, so that the general could reward him with military goods. If Amun takes a fancy to one or several of them, he stays to accompany him.

Time is not big, to a dozen of showy girls, across the pool in the hall singing and dancing. The clothes they wear are very "interesting". They are all breast dresses with exposed umbilicus. Their full chests only cover the two points at the highest point. However, a string of curtain like metal pendants are hung on the chest, making a pleasant sound during collision. The train was cut into many pieces, and the long and attractive thighs were revealed in the twisting waist. This kind of half cover, is more exciting ambiguous temptation.They didn't wear much clothes, but they wore veils. The veil, however, could not cover her face, for it was almost transparent, decorated with glittering things, which made the girl's faint face even more charming. They twist their bodies to make all kinds of provocative posture, but gently sing noble poems in their mouth, which makes people can't help but sprout desire.

Amun is the first time to see this kind of scene, but his performance in any occasion is the same. The 19-year-old never wastes food. Before meeting, there are delicious food and wine on the table, so he starts to eat and drink seriously, chew slowly and drink a mouthful of wine from time to time. Once in a while, he heard a few verses sung by the girls, which were very well written. Then Amun raised his head and looked at it carefully. Then he continued to eat and drink.

John had a good time, cocking his legs with his glass and snapping it with his fingers to beat the beat. After a song, John turned his head and asked, "general, who do you like? Just let them walk through the pool. "

The rules here are very particular. If the guests want to let some girls stay, the girls need to come from the pool and get wet when they come to the guests. This is a deliberately arranged taste or sentiment, and those impatient guests take off their coats and jump into the pool to play when the girl enters the pool.

Amun was stunned. He put down his glass and said, "John, you can do it yourself. I don't have anyone who wants to stay."

John scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "your eyes are so high that I admire you!" Then he waved his hand to the girls across the pool and said, "you all stay with me."

The girls were very disappointed. They laughed at this and jumped into the pool, splashing water.

Amon and John sat on both sides, their reclining chairs separated by a screen. The long reclining chair was very spacious, even if it was used as a bed, but the dozen girls all ran to John's side, and they were too crowded to sit down. Two of them simply sat down on John's lap, but they secretly looked at Amun with curious eyes.

The young man was strong and handsome. In fact, the girls were more willing to accompany him, but Amun didn't like any of them, which made people angry. However, Amun did not change his face. He was still drinking wine and eating. He used a knife to clean the meat on the bones. This makes the girls wonder. If you want to eat, you can go to the restaurant. Do you want to spend so much money here just to eat?

As soon as John saw the scene, he immediately exclaimed, "call your boss diland!"

After a while, the owner of the brothel came in. When he saw more than a dozen girls drinking around John, he complained in his heart. Diland had known this John for a long time. A few years ago, John had a lot of fighting and making trouble here. He had drunk too much, injured several noble children of great families, and almost demolished a small hall in the brothel.

Why is this man here again? What a killer! The boss asked cautiously, "it turns out that John is here. Welcome to it! Is there anything you are not satisfied with and what are your instructions for? "

John took down the two wet girls on his legs, patted the table and said, "of course not satisfied. Do you see that? That's my noblest friend, and his eyes are the highest. Go and call your best girls
