Vol 2 Chapter 149: Broken Wing Horus

149 Horus with Broken Wings
The two had friendships. At the time, John was the former commander of the An-Ra legion, Siou was the logistics quartermaster, and he was also a comrade in the front line. John couldn't help him, so he took the carriage in a carriage and went back to meet the general.
Amon was happy as soon as he saw Siou, Haha laughed: "Why are you fat again? You can't be respected and treated all day, but you should also pay attention to sports. You thought that you were a very hardworking businessman. If you didn't cross the desert to Barron yourself, Collection, we will not know. "
Xiou salutes: "Because of the hard work day and night during the war, I was tired and black and thin at the time. When I came back to see my family, I was very heartbroken. I urged me to take a rest and tonic. As a result, I overpaid and became fatter than I was."
John kicked him lightly and lightly, "Just work day and night like you?"
Amon asked John again, "What's going on?"
John replied, "It's done."
Amon nodded: "Go and invite Themis the Scarlet Girl here, I have something to say."
The Miss Themis came to the front hall, and as soon as she entered the door, she bowed down to Amon: "General, I don't know how to express my gratitude. You and General John not only punished the sinners, but also made the original thing public. Congregation, this is my wish that I vowed before the gods to be realized at the cost of life. It seems that folk legends are true. You have been favored by the gods and have the glory of the world! "
Amon quickly urged John to lift her up and sighed: "The girl said that I was ashamed. Jule was a warrior who followed me. He gave his life on the battlefield, but we did not protect his family. It's too late for all of this .... If you must thank General John, it's him who went to the farm to investigate, and it's him who officially lodged a complaint with the city-state. "
Themis was kneeling again to John. John was holding her elbow and hurrying to stop, looking like he was holding her, his face was a little red. Seeing this situation, Amon asked again, "Girl Themis, John has redeemed your slavery today, and your revenge has been revenge. What are your plans for the future?"
Themis burst into tears: "I thought my destiny was to die with Shengyi. The general not only revenge, but also left me in the world. My life is yours. I am afraid it will be difficult to repay. "
Amon waved his hand: "Don't say that, you haven't done anything wrong, you shouldn't suffer such a tragedy. In this case, I have something to ask you alone, others go out first."
John was still there, and Heo grabbed his arm and pulled him out, grinning. They waited outside, and after a while, Themis came out. Her eyes were red and blushing, and she glanced down at John and said, "General, please come in and speak alone."
After a while, John came out, lowering his head and peeping at Themis, and grinning silently at the corner of his mouth. Sio asked in wonder: "General John, what are you smirking at? You have never seen you like this, is there any good thing?"
John still hesitated and didn't answer. Amon stepped out of the door and said, "Of course there is a happy event. All those encounters in so many days are all troubles. Finally, there is a happy event. It happened that Lord Heo was also there, and I had a banquet in the evening for a drink Tomorrow to participate in the ceremony of the blessing of the goddess Isis. "
...
The annual blessing ceremony of the goddess of Isis finally arrived. This year's ceremony was particularly lively. People from all nearby city states came to participate, and just a few days before the ceremony, Empire General Amon had a dream. Become people's talk in their free time.
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the large square, but under the command of the samurai, there was no order and no crowding. When the blessing ceremony started, no matter where you stood, the sacred light from the sky would fall on everyone. Body. Armon was armed with a pistol, and was like an ordinary guard standing among the crowd on the edge of the square, responsible for maintaining order in the area. The people around looked at the high platform in front of the temple in the distance, and did not know that Amon, who was standing on the mainland, was standing beside him.
The warriors with distinctive armors formed a semi-circular army array in front of the long steps of the temple. In the army array was the high platform for the maiden to perform the ceremony. They watched the ceremony on the long order. Maria was wearing a gold crown and holding a wand on the high platform. The bell in the temple rang, and everyone knelt down on the high platform. Amon also bent down and kneeled, and placed the shuttle gun on the ground next to her.
The general did not look down to kiss the ground, but looked up at the maiden. Maria slowly raised her staff and glanced at the people in the square. She seemed to see everyone clearly, but there was a frame. She stared at each other with a pair of eyes at the edge of the square in the distance. She showed a shallow Smile, then close your eyes slightly and start singing.
Amon didn't know what Maria was singing. At this moment, the sage lady is in the center of a powerful array of divine magic. Amun's detection divine magic can't be sensed, but she can feel it in her heart.
The tears of the gods on the staff gave out a faint golden light, which was getting stronger and stronger, but not dazzling, spreading around and to the sky. The magical array began to run, the golden light gathered in the middle of the sky into a bright beam and shot toward the sky, and the entire sky became golden.
The light beam disappeared, and the sky of Monforex seemed to shine like this since ancient times. With the melodious bells, there were white light like veil, waterfall, blizzard, milk droplets, and feathers, silent. Interest spills. This is the blessing of Isis, and hundreds of thousands of people in the square feel the magical comfort, including Amon.
Everyone was bowing their prayers, only Amon looked up at Mary. She stood in the middle of the people, emitting a holy light. Amon didn't pray, she didn't think about anything, she just looked at her. The light fell on him, as if accompanied by a soft chanting sound, just like Maria's answer to "What is blessing" in the temple-
"With the desired strength in the heart, the gods will not close their eyes to the people, witness sin and goodness, let love and honesty meet, righteousness and peace, and the richness of the earth will accompany the inner peace of the spirit and wash the unclean Soul, it is both a gift and a scrutiny. This is the true blessing. "
If the so-called is really like what Maria said, then Amon will devote himself to the body and mind with the most pious oath, that is the of Maria, the she believes in! Under the solace of this light, among the crowd, Amon felt very weak, like a newborn baby, who had nothing but a brand new life and future.
This weakness is not weakness, but pure and vigorous vitality. Amon has forgotten whether he lost his power. He didn't think about it at all. He just felt the inspiration of the divine art like a freshman. He is the only person in the square who didn't pray and the most dedicated person who experienced this ritual.
...
Assassins appeared at the blessing ceremony the previous year, and they fought another battle with the two kingdoms last year. Will there be an accident this year? Many people increased their alertness secretly. When the ceremony reached its climax, the nineth-level magician Wald, who supervised the audience on the temple order, suddenly frowned, because he heard the sound of thunder.
Amon, who was in a state of ecstasy at the edge of the square, suddenly "awakened". He also heard the thunder, but the thunderous noise did not come from the sky, but from the depths of the ground to the east. With a slight tremor, the whole The land of the city-state is shaking, but the ordinary people have not noticed it yet.
How is this going? Too late to think, Amon turned on mana to perform space magic in an instant, as much as possible to settle the ground under his feet. His mana extended and opened, and then felt the confluence of several other powerful mana. It was the same approach taken by great wizards such as Wald.
Of course, the strongest force to hold the earth is the magical array from the high platform. The main role of this magical array is to assist the saint to complete the ritual and ensure that it is not interfered by any accident. The people on the square neither heard the muffled thunder of the ground nor felt the slight trembling of the ground, but still immersed in the light of the blessing of Isis.
However, the feelings of the great magicians such as Amon are completely different. The amplitude of the earth's tremor is very small, but the power is huge and almost irresistible. So many people can launch space magic at the same time. The ground in the central area of ​​Phase One city did not tremble. They felt that the impact of mana was so fierce. Although they were not in motion, they felt like a small boat tossed and tossed in the strong wind and waves.
The earth trembled for a short time. It stopped before the blessing ceremony ended, and Amon finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the legend of the Tianshu continent, the earth shaking is the anger of the gods on the evils of the world. But in the blessing ceremony of Isis, the tremor of the earth was felt, and it is absurd to think of such a legend.
Amon gently wiped the fine sweat beads exuding from the forehead, but suddenly stopped, he reacted to one thing, and his mana recovered! If not, how could space magic be performed just now? He recovered without knowing it at all, and Amon did not even think about it when he cast his magic.
He has passed the test completely. Has he achieved the eighth level with the strength of both sides? Amon was active for a while, and suddenly realized another thing, he did not fully recover his strength. The magic power of using the magic has indeed been restored, and it is far more powerful than before, but the physical blood power is still the same as yesterday, and has not recovered and increased. His current situation is similar to that of an ordinary eighth-level magician.
Amen closed his eyes and realized his condition carefully, and burst out laughing again. The strength of the blood in the body can be said to be restored or not to be restored. It also needs a process of re-growth, just like a baby adult, slowly becoming strong, It is no longer clear whether it is the power of divine art or the power of body art. The power of both sides of the body finally merges into a true body, like a reborn.
...
Of course, Maria on the high platform also felt the tremor of the earth, but she continued to complete the ceremony calmly, calmly and calmly better than when she was assassinated. After the blessing ceremony, people chanted a poem praising the goddess Isis. Maria stepped down from the high stage and led the priests and city-state officials into the temple to sacrifice to the goddess.
However, all the great magicians present had an ominous hunch in their hearts, and something must have happened in the distance. That night, Maria sent messengers to the city-states overnight, asking what was unusual about it? And on the next day, all the important officials in the city of Memphis were summoned to the temple. Amon did not immediately return to the territory, but stayed in the news of Memphis.
Something really happened, a big thing, and three things happened at the same time!
...
The earth's vibration occurred in the cape city-state. The exact source is that Amon once fought against the red cape defense line of the Uluk Legion. The whole Lower Egju had a tremor, but did not cause much casualties.
According to a soldier who was on duty at the east gate of Hongjiao Town, it was a sunny day, but the sky suddenly darkened. Looking up, I can't see the dark clouds is a dark sky, nor can I see the stars and the moon like at night. All the residents of Red Cape Town walked out of the house, and the soldiers in the barracks walked out of their large accounts.
People's hearts were shrouded by a huge unknown fear, gathered in the square in the center of the town to pray to the gods. As everyone looked up at the dark sky, various lights appeared at high altitudes, like colorful, large, rootless flames circling and shining, accompanied by impact sounds, roars, and explosions like thunder and thunder. Then the earth began to shake, and the four towers of Red Cape Town collapsed in severe tremors, and more than half of the houses were damaged. Fortunately, people gathered on the square because of the vision of the sky.
According to a boatman at the seaside, dozens of miles north of Red Cape Town, he was repairing a damaged boat on the beach, and suddenly felt that the sky was getting dark. The blue water was tossing without wind, reflecting the dark sky. dark red. There was a strong flash of light in the sky, and a ball of light burst like a spark at a very high altitude, and then the earth began to tremble violently, as if the rock beneath the ground had turned into a monster, colliding and biting at each other. The sea water suddenly receded, exposing a large sea bottom of the shore, leaving many stranded fish and shrimp.
The boatman ran towards the high shore and stumbled along the way without knowing how much he had planted. He felt the ground moving, and looked back in horror, and was so frightened that he could sit on the hillside and couldn't move. The receding water roared, forming a high wave wall and rushing back, swept away the boat on the beach. The coast not far away was torn by an incredible force in a tremor, and seawater poured along the rift deep into the landing ground.
...
It seemed as if a gigantic giant blade was chopped on the ground, and a gap was slammed open. The land shifted to the sides along the edge of the Red Point defense line under Amunzenbo, and the seawater poured from the north to form a fissure-like bay, shaped like a dagger on the land. The sea engulfed the battlefield where Amon had fought with the Uruk Legion, and passed through nearly four-fifths of the land outside the east gate of Red Cape Town, leaving only a narrow passage at the southernmost end.
A long and narrow inland sea was newly formed in the cape city-state. When the sky was clear again, the seawater under the sun was reddish like a faint blood, so this narrow inland sea was later called the Red Sea. The main city of the cape city-state is one hundred and sixty miles away from the source of the great earthquake tremor. It is the nearest large-scale city with the strongest tremor. Many deep cracks appeared on the sturdy city walls, and many houses in the city-state suffered various degrees of damage, with hundreds of casualties.
However, the most serious accident happened in the temple. The solid temple building was not damaged, but the statue of Horus enshrined in the middle of the temple broke the wings on the right. The huge stone sculpture fell from a height and shattered into many pieces, and the priests panicked.
If the vibration is too strong and the whole temple and the surrounding buildings are collapsed, the idol will be damaged. However, the temple and the sturdy buildings around the square are intact. It is only the most important statue of Horus that has broken a wing. This is a catastrophic symptom and the consequences can be serious.
The idols in the city-state's main shrine are not ordinary things. The entire process from stone mining to chiseling, transport in place, and carving the idols is strictly supervised, and the names of all participating artisans are recorded in the book. This huge deity has a century of history and is majestic and sturdy without a crack. How can it suddenly break its wings?
According to regulations, the responsible artisans will receive the most severe punishment, but the artisans a century ago can no longer be held accountable. While the city's Lord Dick organized manpower to investigate the disaster, he sent someone to send an urgent report to Monfis and King Eju, waiting uneasily in his heart.
News from all over the place quickly returned, making Rod Dick startled and relieved. The same thing happened to all the temples of Horus in all the city states of Eju. The body of the man, the head of the condor, and the statue of Horus wearing wings like a huge cape were damaged, and the right wing was broken at all Drop the altar.
This can only tell one thing, the destruction of the idol has nothing to do with the craftsmen who built it, nor is it just the fault of the cape city-state. However, the same thing happened to the idols in the temple of Horus in all the city-states in the country. Only in some small private temples, the statue of the imperial king remained intact. What does this mean? It makes people afraid to think deeply and make all the Egyptian residents shudder!
...
The earthquake formed a long and narrow inland sea within the city of the cape city. The goddess Mu Yun told Amon that this is the boundary of the domain of the Eju Jiulian system. The statue of Horus in the temples of the city-states across the country was broken and damaged, even the distant, shock-free city of King Dudes was no exception.
According to legend since ancient times, this may not only symbolize the wrath of the gods, but also the fall or injury of the gods. The Pharaoh, who claims to be the incarnation of Horus, should be the most terrified, but he must stand up to appease the people to maintain his theocratic status. But Rasis II no longer needs to worry, and the third major event that happened at the same time was the death of Pharaoh Eju.
