Vol 2 Chapter 170: Temporary peace

170.Temporary Peace
Manjushri smiled back, his charming charm could not be uttered, and said with a smile: "If the illusion of information is performed by divine magic, watching the world is so, like bird traces in the sky, like troubles in people, like wake up from dreams. You are now free of suffering. Ask for nothing, and ask, why don't you come with me? "
Ren Yun dropped his glass and strode down the dune. Those people Shi Shiran walked, but Renyun couldn't catch up, and then roared into a lion and ran forward, disappearing quickly on the horizon. The Scorpion King put down the Ice Scorpion and Fire Scorpion, and turned and shouted, "Lion King, you just got out of Jiulian God Realm, where do you want to run with these people? We haven't finished talking about it!"
The voice of Surabaya echoed in the desert, but Renyun had disappeared. Surabaya cursed in the direction of his disappearance: "This lion's temper has not changed, but it is so easy to be impulsive and so embarrassed. He just got out of the Jiulian deities, and he didn't know where he came from."
Then he turned around and sat down. The fierce Scorpion King looked a little bit somber and looked at the wine on the table as if to himself: "Where are the gods? What are they preaching? It seems this There are still unknown gods in the world! It is too difficult to explore alone without the guidance of the gods, but I do not want to go back. "
The cloud went away, the Scorpion King drank a few mouthfuls of drunken wine and raised his head and rushed to Amon. "The goddess Mu Yun fancy you, the gods are spreading, she will abandon her ex-husband Tumz for you, and even send the figure Muz is sent to Hades to exchange you, and you will surely be introduced to the Anuna Kai.
You are a monk on earth, which is a great luck for you. But how difficult it is to truly transcend eternal life, I hope you will have this day. You are not interested in the words of the gods just now, and I am even less interested in the suggestion of this scorpion. Anyway, you have stepped into the Anuna Kai system with one foot. It is really unnecessary to shake your faith. "
Amon smiled bitterly: "Don't you know my relationship with Enlil? It was the flood he launched that destroyed my home, no matter what the sin of my people, I have said goodbye to him."
Surabaya whispered: "Then you want to join the Marduk side? I heard that Goddess Mu Yun won the bet with Enril, and she can freely enter and leave the gods of Anunaki and introduce you to Malduk. Cro's side did the trick. "
Amon shook his head: "The path I want to verify may be different. There are predecessors' perceptions and their own search. I have been thinking-why are the gods free from eternal life, what is the so-called deity? I am just the seeker. Don't want to join any deities. "
This remark is heartfelt. Amon is a strange number. He has never received any guidance from the deities. He has solved the unsolved puzzles of old lunatics and Bell in difficult explorations, and finally realized and mastered the power of the origin. He has eight achievements and has experienced everything in Schrödinger's soul imprint. He even knew the torture of fate and the judgment of the last days. Before he became a true deity, he could not need any guidance from the deities. He just needed to prove it himself. These were unknown to the Scorpion King.
Surabaya smiled: "You may think too much, whoever you are, whether you believe it or not, the gods are there. I was a messenger of the gods, I received the guidance of the gods, and knew the power of the source and your cultivation What ’s different, so just think about how to become a truly transcendental eternal deity. Do n’t look at my powerful strength in the world to fight against them, but the meaning of being as a living being is different. I want to tell you one last thing , The Destroy Storm cannot kill the gods who are truly detached from eternal life "
Amon replied unexpectedly: "Thank you for reminding me. I have read the records about the destruction of the storm. It only says that it can even destroy the gods. It does not say that its power must destroy the gods. This is what you want to tell me The last thing? "
Surabaya sighed: "I have vowed that although the Amat who guided me has fallen, I can no longer be driven by the Anuna Kai system, but the secret of the gods cannot be revealed. Unless I become The that is truly detached from eternal life has his own deity and deity, and I can tell you what that path is until the day that I can guide you.
This is the agreement between the gods, and then I am qualified to join this agreement, so I will say those things to you. But you already have a ready-made shortcut, and you don't have to pin your hope on this I haven't seen yet. Can you understand now, why did the Lion King leave, and why did I ignore the gods? We all have the path we want. "
Amon toasted: "The agreement of the gods has nothing to do with me, but in any case, I want to thank you for telling me today! You can see that you also want to find someone to clarify and firm your beliefs in the narration. "
This wine has been drinking for a long time, and the King of Scorpions stretched out his arm for the first time and cried with Amon: "You are wiser than I thought. I really see a lot of things. In order to thank you for listening to me today, I To give you another promise is a kind of hope. "
Surabaya talked unconsciously with the tone of the gods. In the legend of the Tianshu continent, a who has passed the test of endless trials like him can already be called a god, just like Best at that time. When they refer to real gods, they call them "real gods that are transcended from eternal life", and they are intentionally different.
Amon asked: "What kind of hope?"
Surabaya has a profound meaning: "You are a rare human wizard! But don't forget about the famous mantra of that goddess. If one day you are injured like Ren Yun and left Anuna Kai, and I have become the real Free yourself from the eternal deities and establish your own system. You are welcome to be the gods of this system. I wanted to talk to the Lion King, but he ran away. "
Amon replied, "Thank you for saying this, but I'm not a cloud. You may have misunderstood my relationship with Mu Yun. I'm just fulfilling my promise to the goddess and it has nothing to do with whether she loves me or not."
The King of Scorpions shook his head and said, "If the day of bad luck really arrives, it's hard to say. Good luck!"
Amon bowed his head and smiled bitterly: "Even if the goddess Mu Yun really has such a curse, I have experienced enough suffering already."
Surabaya stood up and patted Amon's shoulder and said, "It's not easy to be young, don't forget what I said today ... Your child has been here for a long time. It seems that there is something to do. Trouble, "
The three roars of the Lion King are really amazing. Although Surabaya has protected the Ice Scorpion and Fire Scorpion from harm by casting them, these two monsters are still unconscious. Surabaya picked up the two concubines and left, and there was a strange disappearance of sand flowing under their feet. Amon turned back toward the distant mid-air: "Medanzo, how long have you been here? Come down and rest."
A white cloud fluttered down, the crystal shuttle was stowed, and Medanzo walked a little bit towards the sand dunes, panting in a chair he had just sat in. Amon looked at him and smiled, "The wine is in front of you. Why are you drunk before you drink it?"
Mei Danzuo said bitterly: "Oh God, Amen! Fortunately, I came too late and got far away. The roar of the Lion King was so powerful that I almost did not fall, and barely held my body in the air."
Amon pointed at the banquet in front of him and said, "They are all gone. Do n’t waste food and food. Let ’s eat and drink first. Then I think you look tired."
Medanzo took the wine and tasted it, admiring: "Good wine, great wine! That Lion King really knows how to enjoy."
The two enjoyed the almost untouched banquet, and after eating and drinking, Amon asked, "When did you arrive, what did you see and what did you hear?"
Medanzo replied: "I flew from a distance in the roar of the Lion King. Later, the weird group of guys passed by and I heard everything they said. What are they? They speak strangely, and they don't What kind of shelf to put on, but I feel that my bones are more than the gods! "
Amon said calmly: "Don't ask them who they are, just stick to your own beliefs and prove your own path .... You didn't follow Moses to the Duke Plain, but came to me on this road. Is something wrong? "
Medanzo sighed, "God of Amon, your tribe is a whirlpool and a magnet. No matter where you go, it's no surprise!"
...
After leaving the borders of Eju, Moses and others crossed the Syrian desert along the eastern shore of the inland lake and entered the Duke Plain. This should be the most secure route. Because the west bank of the inland lake is a business route between Eju and Hati, there are now towns, farms, and garrison levels. The place where Amon will fight against Celia is also in this area, and then enter the Duke Plain. There are also large swamps that are difficult to pass.
Moses and others passed from the east bank of the inland lake and were close to the Youdi Valley. Although there was a rugged road, they could reach the plain directly after crossing the mountains. At this time, the Duke Plain has attracted explorers from surrounding countries, but it is difficult to see a crowd of people in such a large wilderness, at least a year ago.
However, when Moses led the people across the lake's mountains and appeared at the mouth of the valley leading to the plain, there was a newly built city wall, or a small city-state just half-built. This is where the explorers and warriors who killed the monsters stopped and traded. Moses and others could have rested here and bought supplies before setting off, but they were stopped by the "army" sent by this "city-state."
Moses had only sixty people, and the other side had eighty-eight warriors with various weapons, including the plateau giants who were able to conquer and form an army. Moses was very surprised and asked: "We just want to go deep into the wasteland, and we are not against you. Like other explorers, we will exchange materials and pay taxes in your market town. Why call this? How many warriors come to stop? "
The city-state under construction is actually called Marduk. The owner is a short, plateau giant named Usil. He sent someone to Moses and said, "You are a family of Duke miners who have fled from Ecuador. There are two options for you to enter the Duke Plain. You can either stay in my city and declare your belief in Marduk and in the temple. Swear; if you want to return home through this, you must promise to the gods that you will build a shrine for Marduk where you are standing, and hold a ceremony to call the advent of gods. As a guarantee, you will leave the leader until the promise is completed Let it go. "
Medanzo knew Euse, who was the leader of the highland giants united tribe who kidnapped Princess Xiao Qian. In fact, she was sent by Princess Xiao Qian to the Duke Plain to establish the city. . Now the position of this city-state is stuck on the throat of the inland lake into the duke plain.
Moses and others couldn't break through, and Medanzo entered the city of Marduk as a homeless hunter, and found the owner of the city of Euseir, "Success." He woke up in the middle of Usil's bedroom in the middle of the night, and forced the Lord Lord to let go with a broken blade around his neck.
Usil said in a crying voice: "Fearless warrior, that is not only the order of Princess Sissi, but also the of Marduk! Even if you kill me, it is useless. Besides, you kill me, yourself. Can't run away. "
Medanzo wondered: "The of Marduk, what's going on?"
Euseir explained: "I don't know what is going on. I created this city-state and served as the city's master and priest, with the support of Princess Konishi and the Kingdom of Barron. After the completion of the temple, I led several After the priest had performed the ritual, the great God of Marduk spoke in my soul that night. The gods told me that a group of miners in the town of Duke was going to pass here and asked them to promise not to build idols for any except Marduk Otherwise, we cannot let them go. "
The situation was beyond Medanzo's control, and he immediately rushed back to discuss it with Link. They made two sets of plans, either for John to lead the town of Duque to fight and rush a way to pass Moses and others; or for Moses and others to turn around from the west bank of the inland lake to avoid Marduk city The scope of control.
The former solution was too costly, and the city-state built under the auspices of Aesop began to take shape. Although the warriors led by John were not afraid to fight against Marduk, they also had to suffer the loss of both. The latter option is difficult, and Moses and others need to pass through the territory controlled by the city of Syria, and pass through the inland lake to pass through the black fire swamp. The two decided to make two-handed preparations. Medanzo went to explore the road first, and Link rushed to the area of ​​Duke to prepare John for the response.
Link returned to Duke before realizing that an accident had also occurred there. At the foot of the Assyrian Plateau north of Duke Town, a large group of plateau giants suddenly appeared. They are not like the residents of the mountain tribes. They obviously have organized training. They carried various equipment and supplies with them, quickly established camps and fortifications, and formed a prototype of a city state at a surprising speed.
This is obviously not a spontaneous behavior. They are strong and strong, their supplies are neat, and their staffing is very orderly, just like the long-time training of corps soldiers and logistics quarters.
The gathering point they established was less than a hundred miles away from the city-state built by Link, and they occupied the Woye to open up wasteland for planting. They also occupied the original mines where the Duke townsmen were mining the stone and iron ore. And iron ore, smelting refined iron in situ, is clearly preparing for large-scale immigration and advancing to the entire Duke Plain.
The city-state built by Link occupied the largest piece of fertile soil on the Plain of Duque, and of course clashes occurred after the aliens occupied the mine. Fortunately, they have built a solid city wall a long time ago. Under Aesop's rule, they already have thousands of people and have a firm foothold, otherwise they will not be able to compete with each other.
Link and Medanzo were not there, and Aesop avoided the conflict at first. Later, John came with 36 guards, gathered the warriors trained by Medanzo into a battle array, and asked the other party to withdraw from the occupied mine. Two battles occurred, and neither side took advantage.
So they began to negotiate. The other party thought that the mine was a land without owner, and John took out the title deed of Duke Town, proving that there was no owner. People have been mining since ancient times. The other side said that the duke town miners had long since disappeared due to the punishment of the gods, and they refused to give up the most precious mine on the mainland. In fact, both sides understand that it is the most important strategic base for annexing thousands of miles of fertile soil based on the Duke Plain.
John assembled the warriors and fought against them again, and found that relying on his own city-state would not be a problem, but it was impossible to fight them back, so he sat down and negotiated again. John had no support, but the men and women of the other were gradually increasing. They came across the Assyrian plateau, and the walls built around the settlements were getting stronger and stronger. The first permanent building was the Temple of Enril.
John's continued attack in this situation was clearly unfavorable, and Aesop made another suggestion in due course.
Aesop previously lacked a strong labor force to mine ore and cores. Today's residents are not Duke town miners of the year, but mainly cave savages, which have absorbed the scattered tribes in the surrounding area, as well as the wanderings of surrounding countries. Explorer. They have to plant land to support themselves and build city-states. They can't extract enough labor to mine such a large mine.
So Aesop suggested that the two parties cooperate. As long as they acknowledge that this mine belongs to the people of Duke Township, the other party can organize a strong and powerful plateau giant to engage in heavy mining work. In return, they can use 60% of the ore and ore cores they have produced Stay, either smelt the iron ore and adopt the stone yourself, or let Aesop acquire it at a fair price on the mainland.
This is a good idea of ​​the best of both worlds. The other side is accumulating strength and does not want to have a full-scale conflict with the burrowing savages and other tribes that already have a foothold. They agreed to this condition of cooperation and restored temporary peace on the Duke Plain.
But Aesop also knew that this apparently peaceful relationship could not last for too long. Looking at the situation of the other party, it was obviously a long-term plan, that is, to settle at the foot of the Assyrian Plateau to the entire Duke Plain. Advance.
