Chapter 138: Key to Destiny
According to normal procedures, he should have been waiting for Pharaoh's order to be delivered to Horeb, and then Horeb sent someone to send the slaves to Amon's territory. However, the imperial general Amon did not do so, but instead sent a guard to fast horse galloping, and he was about to take people away. He was also afraid of night long dreams, and he wouldn't say anything else. If anyone got in the way and let these slaves have any accidental casualties, Amon would have no place to investigate.
He Lieshan's chief Blanca had not yet received Pharaoh's order, and Amon's guard came. Blanca was also very embarrassed. He wanted to wait until Pharaoh's order was delivered. But the guard did not buy the account, and pressed his sword handle in hand: "Is it not the order of the general of the Empire? I take it first, and you can report to it. Pharaoh has promised in person, will there still be false?"
This guard had lived and died in Wanma Army, and was murderous. He was only commanded by Amon and would not listen to others. Since he came, he must complete the task. Blanca couldn't stand up to it either. Empire General Amon's prestige was unparalleled. He couldn't afford to offend, so he sent Moses and others to Amon's territory, and sent guards to prevent accidents. Even if there is any problem in doing so, let General Amon carry it on his own, anyway, he forcibly asked for it.
Although Amon has no real power, his meritorious status is there after all, as Aristotle said, in his position, in his own right, and in his power. In the past, he looked at the scriptures in the archives of the Temple of Isis. He also had to be careful not to be found. Schrodinger gave him two file numbers, one of which was "The Land of Marduk" and the other one was the highest specification. Hidden, he has been unable to find a chance to see.
It's better now, write down the number and send a guard directly, let the temple of Isis take out the classics and send someone to send to his own territory, without explanation, this is the difference in status.
The territory of the Aegean Empire is vast and deserted. The population is distributed along the Roni River. It is mainly concentrated in the upper and lower areas of the Aegean Empire. In the center of the empire, only the narrow tidal flats on the banks of the Roni River are available for cultivation. The wasteland, desert Gobi and barren mountains and ridges are staggered, with only small market towns and sporadic villages, as well as some nomadic tribe activities. Far from the crowds, it is also a place where many monsters appear.
Amon's territory is very large. In the southern suburbs of Herak, it includes riverbanks that are seasonally flooded and can only be cultivated for one season, farms that can be irrigated not far from the riverbanks, and large grasses at the foothills of the West Bank. The can be grazed, and the grassy goes to Xiyou. An uninhabited barren mountain range is also in the territory of Amon, which is the place where the generals usually hunt.
The empire-rewarded territory is not the same as a completely private land. People living in this territory are servants in the name of Amon, and they have to work for Amon for three months each year. If you do not want to serve, you need to pay accordingly. Of money. On the other hand, Amon can't transfer or give away this land at will. He can only get the proceeds from this land. The authority to dispose of the land is in the hands of the empire, but the descendants of Amon can inherit the ownership of the land. .
In addition to the occupants of the territory, Amon also had his own private servants, including his bodyguards, slaves purchased in private names, and hired servants, living in a large estate.
There are sixty people in Duke Town, more than forty of them are young miners, and the remaining dozen are former servants around Moses. Now all have become slaves given to Amon by Pharaoh. They were brought here from Helie Mountain, feeling very upset. Everyone has heard that Amon became a general of the empire, led the army of Eju to defeat the kingdoms of Hatti and Barron, and made a tribute to the people of the town of Duke, Pharaoh, to give themselves slaves.
Amon went to Helie Mountain a year and a half ago. Since then, the living environment of these miners has improved a lot, and they have not suffered any or beatings, but after all, the slaves were slaves, and they did not get rid of slavery. fate. Amon was once exiled from Duke, but achieved such achievements in Eju. What once would be his slaves now, what would he do with them?
Moses had another kind of worry in his mind. He accepted Arroyo's guidance and had been secretly preparing to return to his homeland, but one and a half years passed, but the had no news, and now there is such a change. It seems that the tragic fate of the tribe is uncertain.
Amon took them to the territory without any embarrassment but no special preferential treatment. After all, Moses and others were slaves, and even sitting with Amon to eat was not in accordance with etiquette. Amon did not let them live in the manor or give them a house. Instead, he sent guards to set up a row of marching tents on the grassy at the foot of the mountain and the edge of the farm. They let the people settle temporarily, and then summoned everyone. .
When Moses and others saw Amon, they all bowed down to salute. Amon raised his hand to stop him. "This is a private occasion. Everyone is my tribe. Some courtesies can be reduced. I asked Pharaoh to give you freedom, but it didn't work out. So I got you here. Everyone in my territory can say anything now. "
One woman, a former maid of Moses, said weakly: "Just after winter, the weather is still cold, can you give us a house? Even if it is just a stone house like Helie Mountain."
Amon laughed: "The tent you are living in is the march tent I used to live in, and it should be able to withstand the wind and cold. The house will have it, but you need to build it yourself. In my territory, you can go up the mountain to log, Mining stone to build your own village. Spring is coming. There is a lot of land at the foot of the mountain that can be cultivated and planted. It can be irrigated by the water of the Roni River. Whether it is seeds and farm tools, you can ask my housekeeper to ask for it. "
Amon did not provide the people with all the ready-made things, but let them build their own houses, clear the land, and the beasts in the mountains. They can hunt but also need to protect themselves. Someone was disappointed, but couldn't say anything. Moses saluted, "Thank you, General! Thank you for all you have done for us! But we have a common expectation and have always wanted to return to our hometown. I heard that there is already Become fertile ground in a wasteland. "
Amon replied, "Even if you return there, you have to rebuild your home. Why not be prepared from now? Don't worry, if possible, I will try my best to fulfill your wishes, but I still have to wait for the time. "
Amon only provided supplies, and did not provide ready-made things to the people. Everything must be obtained by their own hands. Even if Moses and others can return to the Duke Plain in the future, they must start all over again and not rely on others. Since then, he hasn't seen the tribe again. It seems that he kept his distance away deliberately. This situation is also normal. What is the close relationship between the supreme Empire general and a group of slaves?
The new life of the people of Duke Town has begun. They are the best craftsmen on the mainland. After getting the tools, they will log nearby and build a wooden house enough for everyone to live in two or three days. Then Moses commanded strong labor, went to the nearby mountains to mine stone and transported to the camp, set out to build a permanent and solid courtyard, planned completely according to a large-scale village, and even left the location of the temple.
Someone asked Moses, "This is not our home. Why is it so good?"
Moses replied: "My father told me that the body is the courtyard where the soul lives, and where it stands is the home of the mind and body. If the body and mind lose their support, it is true that they do not know where the soul is or what they are pursuing. Homeless. We don't know how long we want to stay here, why don't we build a home? Even if we return to Duke, we need to do the same. "
Others were dissatisfied with Amon, who once complained privately in front of Moses: "Amon is now trembling, possesses endless wealth, but refuses to give us anything, and let the people build a village on his territory for him. , Reclaiming the wasteland. We are all his slaves, and everything we build is not ours, it's Amon's! "
Moses answered with a smile: "The empire of the Empire General belongs only to him, not to you or me. You complain that he hasn't given you more. Have you ever thought about what he owes you? Amon was the son of an old drunkard. We were not bullied, and we were forced to leave Duke. Now that we are his slaves, he has no , it is time to thank the gods! This is the territory of Amon, but also our own house And cultivated land, you want to live better, only do it yourself. "
When Moses led the people to build a new home, his heart had been eagerly looking forward to the long-awaited moment, hoping that Arroyo's messenger would come as soon as possible. This was the hope that really supported him to make all these efforts. Moses himself has been taught two strengths in one body, and now he has the achievements of a sixth-level magician and a sixth-level warrior. If he wants to run away by himself, it is perfectly fine.
Amon's method of teaching Moses is different from others. He only allows Moses to cultivate his basic strengths, only pursues breakthroughs in the realm, and does not involve any specific magic or martial arts. Nonetheless, as far as Moses' achievements today are concerned about hiding his identity, he can stand wherever he wants to escape. But what's the point of running away alone?
Amon has been observing the actions of Moses and others in secret. When the people of Duke Town built a wooden house and started to quarry stone and reclaim wasteland, he finally decided to call Moses again. Just a little inconvenience, Amon now lost his mana and could not perform divine magic, so he gave this task to Medanzo.
...
That night, Moses, who had been working all day, was meditating in his log cabin. He had broken through the test of "the breakthrough of the limit." He had a six-level achievement with two strengths in one body, although he had not learned any specific magic. , But the mana is already very powerful, naturally mastered a lot of power rules, some simple divine skills can be explored without learning. But he keeps remembering Arroyo's admonition, just concentrate on cultivation, don't use it.
This work during the day is nothing to him. If necessary, he can persist even if he has not slept for more than ten consecutive days, and the basic meditation of nightly magic has never stopped. Only in this way can he be in suffering. See the hope of life.
At this moment, a murmur like a mosquito hummed into his ear: "Moses, I am a messenger sent by the gods. You quietly walk out of the village and come to the hillside to meet me. I have something to say. I want to ask you. "
Moses almost didn't jump out of bed, a ecstasy of his heart, and finally waited for this day! It seems that the Arroyo did not forget him, and has been paying close attention to him and his people! He quickly put on his clothes, and did not forget to remove the dust from his hair and clothing before going out, arranged his appearance, quietly left the camp, walked across the grassy slope, and ran towards the west mountain.
The mountains here are not high but steep, and rocks are exposed in many places, where Moses mined the stones. A little firefly-like light was guiding him in front of him. Moses walked past the stone field mined by the clan, climbed the cliff, and reached a high slope. Standing in front of him was a man in a cape, holding a "twig" in his hand.
With Moses' eyesight now, he could not see the person's face, but under the starlight, he could clearly see what was in his hand, which was the cane that Arrogant had used. He quickly fell to his knees: "Are you calling me, angel of the gods?"
Medanzo nodded: "Yes, I am ordered by God to see how well you and your people are preparing now?"
Moses was crying with excitement: "Thanks to the gods, Arroyo has not forgotten me, and has been watching us!"
Medanzo said in a deep voice: "Did you forget, you can't pray to other gods! In this case, please don't call Arroyo's name in front of me and anyone else, he is your only god! That is true piety, integrated into faith. "
Medanzo ’s words are very interesting. Moses can call the gods, but do n’t call Arroyo ’s name directly, because he ca n’t pray to other gods. When referring to the gods, he refers to Arroyo instead of the rest of the world. Gods. From this moment on, the word has a specific meaning.
Medanzo asked Moses a lot of questions, including how he practiced this year and a half, and what preparations the guides made, and Moses answered them respectfully and respectfully. Moses himself had the highest level of cultivation among the tribe. He already had the sixth-level achievement of two strengths in one. He also quietly preached the miracles of Arroyo among the tribe and told everyone that this deity would guide them back to their hometown.
In addition, Moses also awakened the strength of both sides for the twelve people, and now they all have intermediate achievements, at least a fourth-level magician and warrior. There is no need to remind them, the people also know that this is a secret that must not be circulated. Even if a little wind is leaked, it will bring them death. So everything is done in secret.
In Helieshan, they are engaged in heavy labor every day, and it is really difficult to make more preparations. They can only instill hope and belief in the people and let everyone protect themselves. As for the miners who have not awakened the strength of both sides, they must also exercise the skills of the miners in Duke Town. It is not only for the purpose of mining the stone for the Eju Empire, but also a means of strengthening the body and mind.
Medanzo nodded with satisfaction: "From today on, you will come here every night. I will teach you divinity and martial arts, and you will teach it to the people who can learn. Be careful when you practice, you must not be taken by others. Observe that you can take this cane and disguise it a bit. It is both a weapon and a wand, and the gods let you use it temporarily. "
Amon gave Moses a staff of iron sticks, except for the tears of the gods, which were still inlaid with four stones such as the pupil of the earth, the blue water heart, the charm of the wind, and the flame elves, but did not explicitly say this. The mystery of the staff was just handed over to Moses. Of course, the pupil of the earth is not the one recorded by the old lunatic, and the charm dance of the wind is not the original space weapon. Amon has replaced it with a new one.
Amon lost his power now, and even the space weapon could not be used. The staff was idle. Moses was a slave. It was inconvenient to take out a weapon. It was even more impossible to have a staff. Although Amon had many things in his hands, only this "twig" was suitable. . To cover up, Moses ordered the people of the tribe to cut a tree branch of similar shape and wrap it into a stick.
In this way, Medanzo taught Moses various magical and martial arts secrets every night. After a simple demonstration, he let Moses practice and teach the people. Originally, it was inconvenient to teach these contents in Helie Mountain, but it was already available in Amon's territory. There were unoccupied valleys near the quarry. They could practice by themselves and no one would worry about it.
...
Moses was very clever, which also benefited from the good education he received from childhood and the grinds he has experienced in the past few years. After more than ten days, what Medanzo should teach is almost the same. The remaining skills can only let Moses wait People can practice by themselves to master, so go back to Amon to return to life.
In the manor, Medanzo sighed with surprise and sigh: "O God, are your people all geniuses? Twelve of the sixty people have awakened the power of both sides in one year, just one year. In half the time, I even have intermediate achievements. Especially Moses, as long as I have the chance, I will have the opportunity to break through to the seventh-level achievement, which is much faster than I was then! "
Amon was not surprised, and explained with a smile, "You only saw these people, so you were surprised, but have you ever wondered how many generations have been brutally eliminated? The generation of miners in Duke Township According to legend, a long time ago, the living environment there was much more sinister. If adult men could not master this skill, it would be difficult to survive there. There are many people who died, and the population has hardly increased for hundreds of years.
The choice and elimination of the environment is so cruel and ruthless, these descendants have inherited the most powerful force in their blood, which is the essence of many years of precipitation. If not, do you think they have survived so much and survived as usual? As for those twelve people, you only think of their one-and-a-half-year cultivation, but from the age of sixteen, they have learned the skills of miners in Duke Town. This is also the basis of two forces in one.
Except for Moses, they practiced longer than you and me, but no one opened the real door. Even so, they have not exceeded your speed of achievement and cultivation. You and I are miracles in the eyes of ordinary people, but think about Enqidu again. At the age of 21, you will become a nine-level samurai. What is it? "
Mei Danzuo laughed and laughed: "I don't compare it this way, but I think that their practice speed is really amazing, not one person but a group of people. You can make sense by explaining this, but the cultivation of two forces on one side has its own rules. It doesn't have to be hard work and hard work, it needs to pass various tests. "
Amon still smiled and laughed: "They practice this kind of power better than the average magician, especially Moses. Losing their homeland and living in a foreign land, they have to engage in heavy hard labor every day, but they do not give up their hopes. Noble theorists have undergone such trials of hardship? Do n’t forget that only nobles can practice divine skills on the continent, and slaves cannot practice physical skills. General samurai are also difficult to withstand such a torture, but they Come on, this is achievement! "
Now that Moses and others have not given up hope and are preparing, Amon sends Medanzo to the Duke Plains to see how Link is preparing. Before leaving, he gave Medanzo the charm of the space magic wind, and asked Medanzo to take out several things from it, including the slightly damaged scorpion shell and a flying wind Shuttle, and a golden shuttle gun.
This shuttle gun is more than ten feet long. It is different from ordinary standard shuttle guns. It is like a very slender droplet. It can not tell what material it is. Even with the eyesight of a master craftsman, it is not completely clear. Its refining method. Amon handed the pistol to Medanzo and said, "You have always envied me that I have a magic wand and can also be used as a weapon. The sword that I gave you last time was destroyed in the fierce battle with Enqidu. A shuttle gun is more magical than my iron stick staff. "
Medanzo took the shuttle gun and tried it, and was surprised: "O God, where are you from such artifacts! It is almost indestructible. It is also the best wand I have ever seen. Did you make it yourself?" ,What's its name?"
Amon sighed: "It was not created by my own hands. I call it the key to destiny. You have seen it before, and you are fighting duel with this weapon."
Medanzo said blankly: "Impossible, I have never seen such a magical weapon, let alone duel with the person who owns it."
Amon explained: "You just do n’t recognize it. It was the broad sword in the hands of En Qidu. It became mutilated when it was cut into the sky. In the final battle, En Qi and the black descending from the sky The thunderstorm turned into a golden mist, and even the sword body changed its shape. At the last moment En Qi rushed to the sky, shot the sword in my hand at me, and I was included in the charm dance of the wind. It looks like this shuttle gun. "
Mei Danzuo held the key of fate and exclaimed: "It turned out to be the remnant sword of En Qidu, which injected all the power of his life. After the tempering of the black vortex, it turned out to be like this. Build! "
Amon nodded: "It has a magical magical effect, symbolizing the examination of fate, like the real self's all encounters and actions and the choices it has to face. It flew to kill me, but fell into my hands. I do n’t want to use it, just leave it to you, this may be the weapon and weapon that suits you best! "
