Chapter 27: Disaster in Duke Town (Part 1)

Chapter 027: Disasters in Duke Town (1)
When anyone has a distracted mind, this would not have attracted special attention, but for a person with a stable temperament like Amon, it has been so abnormal for a long time. He is already a second-level divine master. He has already mastered the basic meditation of divine skills. However, he cannot suddenly enter the introspective state of spiritual concentration. There are always various uncontrolled distractions. Obstacles to continue practicing divine magic.
This kind of obstacle does not arise out of thin air. It is a situation in which a person's heart is very stable. Things that may not be thought about or memories that have been forgotten on a weekdays surface in my mind. A third-level magician can learn intermediate-level magic. This requires absolute peace of mind in a state of meditation, entering a state that will not be disturbed by clutter of outside information and various thoughts in the heart. Then, before this, he must pass this test and take a physical and mental picture into an unprecedented subtle state.
This test is called the firmness of faith. In fact, it is a test of one's determination and strength. For the magician, faith is a very important help, because at this time people are often irritable and cranky, and have doubts about the gods they have learned and the teachers who teach them. Faithful devotion to the spirit can help settle the heart and break through a deeper level of tranquility.
If you understand the true meaning of this test, you should know how to face it, and you do n’t need to pray for the gods. It is a self-test in the final analysis.
Amon suddenly wanted to understand, and also lamented that the more religious the person is, the easier it is to pass such a test. For a person like him, if he does not understand the truth, I am afraid that he will be troubled at this stage. Not forward.
Amon has developed a very good habit since he was a child. He will not entangle more useless things, and he will first do what he needs to do at ease. So he stopped thinking about how to pass this test, and how to unlock the secrets of the gods. The unreachable goal, but he still practiced the basic meditation of the magic daily and tried to stay stable in a state of various distractions. .
He also told Link and Medanzo that they should try not to disturb him during this time, and practice divine magic by themselves.
Medanzo has spent enough time in the dwarf tribe this time. Worried about the situation at home, he needs to go back. Before leaving, he carries a heavy large leather bag to say goodbye to Amon. Amon taught him the complete secrets of several low-level divine spells, and told him what the next test would be. He called Link together and made them vow.
On the Tianshu continent, people believe that the vows are effective, and the vows that Amon wants them to make are very special, that is, they want to keep the secret of learning divine magic from him. You cannot use this to betray or hurt him, otherwise The words cannot pass the tests that will be faced in the future, such as "the firmness of faith", "the temptation of the devil", and "the fusion of mind and body".
This vow is indeed very effective. The next test of Amon is not very clear, but after he understood "the firmness of faith" as "the firmness of faith", he also understood that if he wants to pass the test, his mind must not have any suspicion. The vow is the seed sown in faith.
Medanzo's backpack contained fine iron embryos and some of the finest horse leather billets. A mid-level samurai actually did the hard work of climbing the mountain with a heavy load, and also worked as a small business and private seller. There is no such thing as white art! Most people can't do this job.
Amon asked curiously: "You are not tired, how much are these things worth?"
Medanzo patted his leather pocket and said, "Dozens of gold coins! Only these few horse leather billets can be worth five gold coins!" He pulled out three fist-sized horse leather billets from his backpack, It is the finest fine iron that has been smelted but has not yet been made into an object, and some of it is displayed in front of Amon.
Amon had dealt with iron ore and furnaces since he was a child. His staff was made with the same fine iron, but the name of the fine iron in the Kingdom of Barron was called Mage Steel. Medanzo was showing off how valuable this thing was, but Amon was a little surprised. It turned out that this thing was not too valuable. After all the hardships and hardships, he had to back out of the mountains, and only five gold coins were sold to the distant King Barron.
The finest fine iron is the kingdom's exclusive material in Duke Town. All the mined iron is delivered to the city-state. The town only pays the blacksmith for the work, but does not pay for the purchase of fine iron. Therefore, Amon also did not know how much the refined iron was worth.
After finishing showing off, he put the three pieces of horse-steel steel in his rucksack and carefully packed them. He rushed to Amon and said, "This time, the harvest is really great. The most important thing is that you have learned the magic. You are my teacher and The guide, in my mind, is as willing as Link to call you God of Amon .... You must go to Barron City when you have time, and I will do my best to give you the best hospitality. Little fortune. "
Amon thought for a while and thought, "I won't stay here forever, and I do plan to visit Barron in the future. You hold this stone, and you need to put a lot of energy into practicing the magic. I'm afraid you don't have time to run around all the time. Make money. "
Amon casually gave Medanzo a stone, Medanzo stared at the boss with beads, and Link's jaw almost fell off. For a long while, the two of them gaped, and Link breathed out and said, "God Amen! You are too generous."
Medanzo stuttered, "My God! How can I accept your precious gift, Amon!"
Amon's heart secretly said that a stone is not worth such a fuss, right? In the town of Duke, where he lives, the best wine is only two barrels for a stone. The merchant can take away a sheep at most as an extra discount. These two unsuspecting guys haven't heard of the pupil of the earth before, and it's not clear how much the black stone that they have used is worth, otherwise they must not be dazed.
"This is not a gift. You have vowed to me and promised to wait for me in Barron. And I have taught you the magic and I hope you can concentrate on practicing the magic. This is to let you go back and settle your family. With myself, I have been practicing well at home for a while. I will go to you in the future, and you will be waiting with peace of mind. "Amon told Mei Danzuo with a smile and put the stone in his hands.
Mei Danzuo was touched with excitement, tears were coming down, and she patted her chest and said a lot of admiration. Of course, Amon makes sense to do so. On the mainland, no distinguished wizard has used his own livelihood to work, and it is impossible to carry a heavy iron ore for private trading. Practicing divinity also requires a stable environment, otherwise Amon would not choose to stay in the cave savage tribe.
It takes several months for Medanzo to travel to the deep mountain tribe. Even if luck can be brought back with the value of dozens of gold coins, after removing the items exchanged with the tribe and the expenses of the toll, even half a stone can't be earned . Amon gave him a stone, which was at least worth the money he had earned from selling iron for a year.
Medanzo left with gratitude, and begged Amon repeatedly not to forget before leaving, he must go to Barron City to find him. Link and Amon sent him out of the village together. When he returned, he looked at Amon pitifully and said nothing. Link's careful thinking is more obvious. It is also a student of Amon. The teacher gave Medanzo such a precious thing, maybe he will give him something.
After seeing it, Amon rushed to Link after returning to the village and said, "I have a story. A town mayor asked the children in the town to raise sheep and give two silver coins a month. Later, the child could n’t raise sheep anymore. He Then asked the other child if he could give a silver coin for a month of sheep? The other child agreed. You said, did the mayor owe him a silver coin? "
The story of Amon was not made up. The mayor was Dusty. The child who took a silver coin and put it for a month of sheep was himself. Link was very clever and immediately understood the meaning of Amon, and quickly explained: "God Amon, I didn't say anything, and did not dare to ask you for a stone, just a little envious of Medanzo! You taught I am divine and give me the power of the gods. I should only thank you and give you my good things. How can you say what you owe me? "
Amon smiled, returned to his hut and took out a beautiful copper bottle and handed it to Link: "You and your people respect me very much. I have enjoyed a lot of food and wine. This bottle of wine is It ’s for you. As a patriarch ’s house, you still use clay pots for wine, and you need to decorate it. As for the stone, you already have it on your staff, and Mei Danzuo is a magician who uses private magic , Many times need to use the stone. He often borrows your staff here, I have seen it. "
Link took the bronze bottle. This thing is the most exquisite thing in their clan. The people here have never seen it. It was bought by Amon's father for fifteen silver coins. The wine inside was let Schrodinger drink, and the bottle was very beautiful. Link held it in his arms like holding a baby, and went home happily.
In the following days, Amon only devoted himself to cultivating the basics of divine magic. The disturbing thoughts gradually settled down, and the soul seemed to sneak into a deeper world. He sat there, and he had another invisible eye to see his body and mind, and he knew exactly what he was thinking. He had an unprecedented experience, and the world outside him became clear.
The power cultivated by the theologians must communicate with the outside world and learn how to control various energies. Only when their minds are stable and overcome clutter can they perceive the world more clearly.
Amon was intentional and unintentional, and one night he was inadvertently entering this state while he was practicing meditation. He naturally unintentionally tried a middle-order divine skill, which is the detection divine skill he has long experienced. Do n’t open your eyes in the dark, the subtle sounds outside the house are so clear, as the sound can see the worms crawling through the corner.
He successfully passed the test of "firm firmness". Being able to use at least one intermediate-level divine skill is one of the criteria for assessing a third-level divine master. Although Amon has not read the classics of detecting divine magic, he realized the most basic principle of squinting from the comprehensive induction of various elements regardless of each other. Divination books have long been summarized, and Amon has also explored this step on his own.
While he was pondering this novel detection method, he suddenly heard the sound of thunder from the distant sky.
