Vol 2 Chapter 71: Arroyo

071 Name of Arroyo
The trackers continued on their way and entered Tanis City before dark. Haven, this veteran hunter, is really good. On this way, he found the horseshoe mark left by Amon, and found Amon's horse not far from the north gate of Tanis. Amon threw the horse in the suburbs before entering the city, and walked directly into the city, leaving no identifiable footprint and completely breaking the trail of tracking.
The size of the Tanis city-state is not very large. The population in the main city is about 100,000. Relatively speaking, it is not as prosperous as the cape city-state. Most of the residents in the country live on agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing. Amon found a good inn in the city, asked for the best room, closed the door and rested after dinner, without going out.
Even on the way, he never stopped a day of divine meditation practice every night. Both the fifth-level body and the divine art had reached the peak, but there was no sign of breakthrough. Bell once said that the higher the strength of the two sides of the practice, the more difficult it is. Not only must it have a tenacity and perseverance, it also requires certain opportunities and luck.
Divination practice breaks through from the fifth level to the sixth level, although it is not as difficult to advance from the sixth level as the great magician, but it is also a very difficult threshold. Being a sixth-level magician means that you can practice high-level magic, naturally not that simple. Fortunately, Amon is not in a hurry, but just do the things in front of him honestly. According to the requirements of two strengths in one body, the next test is "a breakthrough in the limit."
This should be a test in body surgery. According to Bell, the awakened power in the bloodstream causes qualitative changes in the body, just like building some kind of utensil, and being re-washed again. This process is naturally not easy. People must endure and break through their own limits, and they can clearly experience and perceive all these things, but no one will push themselves into an unbearable situation and break through, even if it is a coincidence. It can also hurt or kill you.
It sounds simple, but I don't know how to do it.
During that night, Amon practiced the basic meditation of divine magic, keeping extra vigilance, and began to detect divine magic to keep an eye on the movement around the inn. Exactly at night, a noise came from the street in front of the inn. Some patrolling soldiers called the door to check the identity of all the guests. They found that suspicious foreigners were taken away for questioning.
From the conversation between the innkeeper and the captain of the soldier, Amon learned that something bad happened in the city-state today. One of the noble theologian adults was stolen. It is a very important artifact. The city-lord ordered a city-wide search. Amun's room was also checked, but nothing was found. The cat slipped out of the window, and the suspected things were hidden in the bones, which were hidden by Amen on the roof.
Of course, people had to be checked in addition to things. Amon did not speak but showed a certificate, which was the document given to him by the mayor of Dashti. Filling in the name could prove that the person was a citizen of the Aegean Empire. This instrument finally came in handy today. The name written by Amon is-Arroyo.
This incident was naturally Vitruvian. He found Lord Jonah, the lord of the city of Tanis, and claimed that he returned to the city of Isis on the orders of Lord Julian. When he entered the city, several precious scrolls were placed in the followers. In the parcel, he was accidentally taken away by a thief while parking. These scrolls belong to Master Julian and must be chased back! I don't know what he said to Jona privately, so there was a night-long citywide search.
The soldiers didn't sleep at night, and they had to knock on the door of the city to do such an offense to the local residents. Naturally there were complaints, but the order had to be executed. The owner of the inn gave the captain some benefits and asked him to be polite when offending the guest, otherwise the business could not be done. The soldiers did not embarrass Amon. After all, this guest lived in the best room in the shop. The identity certificate was no problem. They went out at a glance. They were looking for foreigners.
The sudden night-time investigation of the whole city was not without results. It caught a lot of rogue dog thieves, and even the prince of the city's master had a relationship with the groom in the inn, which was blocked on the spot by soldiers patrolling the city. Windfall. Many suspicious foreigners and young men who happened to pass by the city of Tanis were taken out for questioning, and not everyone walked on the road with their ID.
But it was precisely Amon that Vitruu was looking for. Their true purpose could not be stated publicly after all, nor could they go from house to house to search for people. After dawn, the city returned to peace.
What happened at night made Amon more alert. He always felt that the big search was directed at himself. After dawn, he packed up his bags and hurried out of the city while the pedestrians in the city were the most frequent. He went out from the south gate of Tanis City, and there was also a cross-examination at the gate. Amon still took out the identity document that said "Arrow" and exited the city smoothly.
Standing on the tower was a man, Julian's nephew, Shute. After seeing Amon's back, he felt a little familiar, rubbing his eyes but not sure, when he returned to God, Amon had gone far. He had seen Amon's appearance in Vitruu's Tracking Divine Technique, but Amon changed clothes today, and it was really not easy to recognize it in the crowd.
Amon was not found last night, and Haven guessed that Amon might be out of the city as soon as possible. Vitruux thought of another way, sending several people to keep the gates separately, and found Amon's whereabouts to signal his companions at any time. After all, this matter cannot be made public, nor can they openly take down Amon at the gate of the city, but they still have to follow Amon to nowhere.
When Vitruu and Haiwen got the news and rushed out of the South Gate, Amon's early running disappeared, and Haiwen had to continue to search for the clues left by Amon. He was really amazing, he found it! The tree branch in Amon's hand lay on the ground, leaving a light round pit, which was seen several times in a row on the path leading to the mountains not far after leaving the city.
Continue to chase forward, this trace is gone, Amon should put away his cane. At the last trace, Vitruu once again used tracking magic. Several people saw the figure of Amon. The foreigner was walking alone on the sheep's intestine path between the mountains and mountains. It is extremely fast!
Haiwen looked at the mountain road ahead: "The man has entered the mountain, and the straight line distance is not too far. He has just passed the two hills. However, this road cannot ride a horse, let alone a car."
The magician Vitro and the other three warriors looked very ugly. I thought it was a hand to capture Amon. I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to catch up with this person! Trekking across the barren mountains and wild ridges is the bitterness that they would never be willing to suffer, but Amon would not follow the flat road according to their wishes. Now he does not want to chase, he must chase. Master Julian's order must be completed.
Walking through the mountains is where Haiwen's talents unfold. Amon couldn't do without leaving any traces. The stamps on grass blades and occasionally broken dry branches were clues to follow. Whenever the clue was temporarily broken, Haiwen didn't waste time searching around, and next to the latest trace, Vitruu performed the tracking divinity and repositioned Amon's location. They will catch up as soon as possible, usually shorter than Amon.
It is generally easier to escape without seeing the target's tracking, but Amon has encountered both Haiwen and Vitro at the same time.
Haiwen is different from Amon, a fake "hunter". He was born in the mountain as a real hunter. He also systematically learned various tracking and assassination skills in the Temple of Isis. He is also gifted with hard work. There is only one step to becoming a great warrior.
Vitruu is an excellent sixth-level magician. He also has a precious artifact from the Temple of Isis in his hand, the name "Lamp of Pursuit". With this lamp, he can simultaneously perform eye detection and information tracking. , Always find the latest position of Amon under the prompt of Haiwen. The mountains are different from the avenues. Although they walk fast, the terrain is winding and winding, and the straight distance is not far.
Fortunately, these people do not fly.
And unfortunately, there are not too many mountains and mountains in the area south of the city of Tanis. If it is the terrain of the Youdi Valley, no one except Haiwen should keep up with Amon. He can track most people Throw it away. The barren mountains and dense forests here are not dangerous. Amon just uses the terrain to pick the hardest path as far as possible, and the people behind can still keep up.
With a sharp short knife, Havin opened the way in front, and tried to choose a route that was easy to go and approached. With the help of two samurai, Vitruu hurriedly scolded Amon while hating him. Adults have suffered this kind of bitterness, playing hide-and-seek tricks in the mountains and wild forests, and using the lamp of passing away to perform brilliant divine magic every so often, they are really tired!
Haiwen comforted: "Master Vitruu need not worry, he has pros and cons in walking in the mountains, and he will not be able to hurry up when it is dark at night. And we can still chase forward with you, the wizard, and work hard all night Can take him down. "
Everyone heard these words, their spirits were a little bit more excited, and their hearts secretly said that the tracing was finally over. The barren mountains and mountains were suitable for hands-on torture. Be sure to torture this difficult guy before killing Amon. There was too much suffering this way, and they all hated Amon.
If Amon knew that this resentment would be very funny, would it be because these people were going to kill him, he would have to walk the road honestly, let people grasp it comfortably?
After dark, the trackers began to complain again, because Amon did not stop, walking almost as fast as the day! Haiwen Xinsheng warned: "He can clearly see the road in the dark, and he has no ignition light. It seems that he must have mastered the magic of detection. Master Julian's guess is correct. This man is a magician. Never underestimate the enemy. "
Shute said resentfully: "What about the magician? We have Lord Vitruu here, even if he secretly learned the magic, it's just like death."
Vitruu frowned: "The real thing to be careful about is the scrolls in his hands, not giving him a chance to unfold. When we do, we must cooperate with each other. If it doesn't work, use the scroll first. Since he is a magician, then he won He has no problem, even if exposed, he will be accountable afterwards. "
Haiwen also reminded: "But Lord Julian has confessed that the matter to be interrogated is very important. There must be no leakage at all, and this person cannot be kept. After killing him, no one can prove that he is a magician, so he still Be secret. "
By midnight, Amon finally stopped. He was tired and needed to rest, and found a hidden place to sit quietly and practice the basic meditation of divine magic. Vitrus and others also stopped. They could not chase. Although they could use the detective technique to explore the terrain in the dark, it was not very convenient after all. Vitrus' physical strength was not as good as Amon's.
Amon went on when it was dark, and Haiwen and others followed the trail and followed in the mountains. It was like a hard parade. Maybe it's an intuition, or a reaction in the state of divine meditation, or it may be because of Schrodinger's reminder that every time Amon walks in the mountains, there is always a sense of tension in his back, just like someone Just stare.
They walked in the mountain for two more days, and the tracker found Amon's camping site every night. The boy actually had a fire to cook, which seemed to be well prepared. Vitruu and others did not bring too much dry food, and they had to go hungry after chasing. Fortunately, the range of this mountain was not large. Two days later, they came to the plains again. Amon returned to the official road and entered a town. .
Feeling relieved, Vitruu and others followed him out of the jungle to the market town, and learned that Amon had bought a few horses and a car, and hurried to the south. They learned this time, bought enough dry food in the town, bought two carriages with the best horses, and drove them behind. Although the ride on the carriage is bumpy, it is more comfortable than walking through the mountains on foot, and it is also a kind of rest for some intermediate warriors.
To the south of the city of Tanis is the city of Bubusz. Amon actually walked around the city without stopping. He went directly to the southern Helio city, except for a short camping at midnight, there was almost no rest at this time. Make trackers exhausted. In addition to Haiwen, it was still able to survive. Vitruw and the other three warriors were somewhat unbearable, and they secretly said in their hearts: "Is that Amon unable to fight with iron, can he not be tired?"
In fact, Amon is also very tired. Unlike the tracker, he can take turns to rest and drive shifts. He always whip his wagon in the carriage. The feeling of being on the back reminded him of danger at all times and always wanted to escape quickly, but no matter how hard he tried for so many days, the feeling was always looming, and his physical strength and spirit had almost reached what he could bear. The limit.
If it continues like this, regardless of whether or not the tracker can catch him, Amon will have to support himself and get tired first. Aware of this, Amon also began to pay attention to saving energy, not as fast as the beginning. Even if there were any accidents, he still had to keep his shot. At least he still had a large number of scrolls to rely on. Even Hades had broken out, and this hurdle should be able to pass.
The Helio city-state is on the east bank of the Roni River, facing the city of Monfis. It is already the economic and cultural center of Lower Egypt, and the nearby Roni River Delta is fertile, rich in products and economically developed. , Densely populated. Amon once again passed around the city and headed south, abandoned the car and walked by the official road, and entered the mountainous area on the east bank of the Roni Valley. Once again, the chase through the mountains began.
This time Amon's speed slowed down, and he took longer and longer nights to rest, deliberately walking towards the desolate nowhere.
Long before entering the city of Tanis, Amon felt that someone was following. These followers were by no means simple. They even followed the banks of the Roni River. It seemed that the blind escape could not be escaped. Before you have been forced into desperation, find a way to counterattack. Deep in the mountains and nowhere to start, the most used scroll is the best choice at present.
Amon had his own plans, and Vitruus had his own eyes. When he chased Amon past the city of Bubusz, he found that Amon went around the city and continued to the south. He couldn't help asking Havin: "Look at this man, where are you going to flee?"
Havens thought: "He went all the way southwest and headed towards the Roni River. Think carefully. If he wanted to escape the hunt of Lord Julian, where should he go?"
Vitruus suddenly responded: "Morpheus!"
Haiwen nodded his face grimly, "If I were him, I would have an unspeakable secret, and it was dangerous and safe to escape into Monfis. I do n’t know who he sent from, and we do n’t know why Master Julian Want to chase him down? When he really enters Memphis City, it will be inconvenient to do it. Master Julian cannot cover everything in Memphis! "
As the high priest of the Temple of Isis, Julian has a high natural status, but it is not possible to cover the sky with one hand in the city of Memphis. At least there are other people whose power is not under him. Everything is not Julian's decision. If Amon enters the Monforth City, it will be more difficult to secretly operate. In the event of any noise, Julian cannot control the situation.
Vitruus thought of this, and narrowed his eyes, "It seems that this person's destination is probably Morpheus. We must cut it off before he crosses the river .... Be careful of the scrolls in his hands. It ’s better if the others do it first. "
Haiwen smiled, but the smile seemed very harsh: "Knowing his destination would be easy. You can inform Obama. Linton starts, we follow Amon. We are not in a hurry. His speed is also slow, it seems fast. I can't stand it. In this period of time, the circle of circles wanted to throw us away, but after all, he did not throw it away. Obama came directly from the official road, and it will be much faster than Amon. "
Vitruu and Haven already had plans. When they found that Amon abandoned the car and horse and entered the mountains on the outskirts of Helio City State, they were in a hurry. Since Amon's speed was slow, they also slowed down to follow, but just kept keeping track of the trail. Vitruux and Haven studied the terrain, no matter how Amon circled in the mountains, he would definitely come out of the valley mouth in the southwest direction, which is the road to the Roni River ferry.
