Chapter 076: Are You OK
Gabriel asked only half of the words. There were still many doubts in his heart, but he felt that the letter was very important. Then he hurried back to the temple in town to report to Maria. She wasn't worried that Amon would run away, and he couldn't go anywhere because of his current condition, not to mention that the yard had been closely monitored.
In Maria's bedroom, the maiden opened the envelope in front of Gabriel's face, and looked at it, her expression became more dignified, and her white face seemed to be covered with frost. speak. Gabriel asked uneasily, "Sir, your face isn't right. What exactly is written on the letter?"
Maria passed the letter and said, "Look at it yourself, keep calm, don't be impulsive."
Gabriel looked at the letter and couldn't help anger rising. One hand subconsciously held the hilt and gritted his teeth. "What a mean man, he will be rejected by the gods! He wants me I was transferred from the Temple of Isis, only to covet that ridiculous power. Madam, your original decision was completely wise. The Temple of Isis does not need a high priest like Julian, and it should be him who never returns. ! "
Maria comforted: "You and I already knew what kind of person Julian was and what he was thinking about. Amon appeared like a god's guide. With him and this letter, of course, Julian You will not be able to return to the Temple of Isis. Vitruus is dead, thanks to the gods, Amon is still alive! As long as the content of this letter is copied and sent to Julian, he will no longer be able to disobey the Temple of Isis 'S next order. "
Gabriel nodded and said, "Copy the letter with the information arts and send it to the High Priest of Burke and tell him that this is a letter from Julian. I don't think the High Priest can help What Julian says is nothing to stop you from re-appointing a high-priest and high-priest. "
Maria: "Okay, it's up to you. Go ahead and do it for yourself. Amon is important and you can't let him get hurt anymore."
Gabriel glanced at the maiden and tentatively asked, "Listen to what you mean, to forgive Amon? A foreigner has killed a high priest in the Temple of Isis, but he will not be held accountable. Will anyone ever bring it up again? "
Maria raised her eyes and stared straight at Gabriel, asking calmly, "Isn't this supposed to be the case? Amon is innocent. He didn't hurt anyone. On the contrary, his noble and selfless character symbolizes the deities." Inspired. At the beginning, he offered the tears of the gods in the eyes of Goddess Isis. He received Nero's staff but did not own it, and returned it to the cape city-state. And this letter meant What, you should be very clear, but he still trusted me and handed it in directly. Is there any reason for such a person to hurt him? "
Gabriel could not help lowering his head: "Master, you are right, I certainly understand these. But I have seen too many noble people do shameful things, such as Lord Julian. It is because of witness Too many evils in the world and the black tail under the Chinese clothes have made me more firm in the faith and the glory of guarding the deities .... If it falls on the hands of other adults, Amon handing over this letter will bring himself Life is in danger, I'm just worried about him. "
Maria: "I think so too, so I decided to protect Amon."
Gabriel: "I would like to ask one more thing, why do you think so, my lord? Your status is different from mine. You should understand that what Amon knows is related to the scandal at the Temple of Isis. The temple is ashamed. "
Maria smiled slightly: "All the shameful people can humiliate is themselves. As the patron saint of Goddess Isis, I guard the dignity and glory of the gods. Whether in the sun or in the dark, I do not He will do things that will make the gods ashamed, and this is true faith. "
Gabriel bowed, "You are indeed a sage, and your eyes symbolize the pity of the goddess. I want to confess to you that I suspected something in my heart just now, Amon himself knew what was in the letter, Still thinking what to do if he knows? "
Maria looked at the envelope on the table and said, "The envelope is not passive, and the content is written in Ajue scriptures. He should not know what is written in it. In fact, what if he has seen it? The letter fell into his hands, and it was not his fault. The content of the letter is important to us, and we should thank him! ... Gabriel, I haven't finished your question yet, I want to ask him myself. "
Gabriel thought about it: "It was you who saved him, and he should thank you. I will arrange for him to have a chance to be called by the Virgin, the time is tomorrow morning. This is a small town, not Isis Temple, everything is more convenient. "
...
When the maiden was visiting the Roni River, she rescued a fainting passerby on the shore and ordered him to take him to the town. Early the next morning, the rescued expressed their respect and gratitude to the Virgin. It is a great honor for this kind lady to call him.
Amon waited outside the temple under the guidance of his servants, waiting for the maiden to run out of breakfast. Then he was summoned to the ceremonial hall of the temple, and it was also the place where the maiden temporarily handled official duties. A blanket had been laid on the ground, and Amon could not walk too close, saluting the maiden on the blanket in accordance with the prescribed etiquette, with both knees and elbows resting on the ground, and bowing his head to kiss the ground.
The maiden sat there, beckoning him to stand up, and said calmly, "I didn't expect it to be you. The person who had mined the tears of gods in Duke Town and met again at the Ronnie River, this is a god. Guidance! ... come, give Mr. Amon a chair and ask him to sit down and talk. "
The servants were taken aback. The civilians were not eligible to sit in front of the sage, unless there was a reason to get special gifts. It was this young man who had the tears of the gods mined. The sage did not conceal this matter. He honestly knew Amon long ago, and everyone looked at Amon with surprise.
After Amon sat down, he responded in an orderly manner: "I was a miner at that time. It is my duty to mine the stone. It is the who gave me the tears of the gods to my saint by my hand. Today is the saint My Lord saved me, I do n’t know how to express my gratitude! "
Maria: "I didn't expect it to be you."
Amon: "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be you!"
If there is anything special about the scene of the call, it is that Amon always looks directly into the eyes of the Virgin, as he did in Duke Town. He looked at her with a silent sigh in his heart, clear that there was a world of difference between the two, and staring at her eyes might be the only thing he could do. The youthful feelings that had once germinated could only be buried deep in his heart.
Since Ai Kou can recognize him, he must still remember the "accidental" hugs and touches, and he almost kissed her. This is a past that must not be told, and Ai Kou did not have any anger at him because of this, and buried this common secret in his heart, otherwise Amon would not sit here properly. A simple question and answer, two people said almost the same thing, only they can understand.
The maiden waved her hands, and the indescribably elegant and noble, said with a smile: "Mr. Amon, not only have you mined and contributed the tears of the gods, I also heard another thing, it was you not long ago Returning the staff of the cape city-state priest's staff, and a lot of precious relics, what a noble and unselfish character. I saved you, it should be the calling and guidance of the gods. You should thank Goddess Isis for her gaze.
Next, the lord lady asked Amon to get Nero's relics. Since it may involve a secret past of a great magician, she ordered all her servants to retreat, leaving only Gabriel.
That "experience" Amon had already said twice in the Temple of the Head, at this time just repeat it again. He then recounted what happened to the cape city-state, and Maria asked: "You are a fifth-level intermediate samurai, but as far as I know Vitro is a sixth-level magician, and Julian's guard is also They are all intermediate samurai. How could you kill them all? "
Amon's heart was tight. This terrible problem could not be avoided after all. He couldn't retell the entire battle process, which would expose all the secrets.
However, Maria did not wait for him to answer, and then asked, "The patriarch of the Lington family did not thank you for your kindness, and took the theologian and samurai to hunt you down. The same purpose appears, but you can't expose yourself. I think it's because of their fierce defeat, that you can have a chance to save your life. Is this true? "
God, is there a more perfect answer? Maria asked him if this was the case, but he actually answered it for him. Amon had thought about this explanation, but now he didn't have to bother to say a word, and quickly nodded: "Master Saint is wise and wise, this is it!"
Gabriel interjected: "Can you remember and describe as much as possible the features of everyone around Vitruu?"
Amon described the appearance of several warriors, the weapons they wore, and so on. Gabriel turned around in amazement: "Madam, including Julian's nephew Shute, and his guard captain Haven. This haiwen is quite good. Hopefully, he will be advanced to be a samurai, but he also died! "
Maria said with regret: "Mr. Amon, I want to apologize to you on behalf of the Temple of Isis. It is likely that the High Priest Julian was behind the ambassador. But all were dead, not conclusive. The evidence proves that he did it. According to the Ecuadorian law, civilians cannot directly sue a great wizard. All the charges must be made by another aristocrat who knows the situation and decided by the Supreme Court.
Now that all the people present are dead, I am afraid that noble nobles who are familiar with the situation will be able to make charges on your behalf. Even in the Supreme Court of Eju, Julian will not be dealt with in any way. After the disclosure, it will be very disadvantageous to you. But please rest assured that I will not let this happen in vain, and I will surely drive Julian out of the Temple of Isis, because he hurts the dignity of the gods. "
Amon stood up and bowed deeply, "Master, how can you apologize to me? I understand what you said, you saved me and you protected me."
Maria waved again: "Amon, you still sit and talk." Then he pointed to Gabriel and said, "You gave us a secret letter and admitted it was from Vitruu's body. You know, a foreigner doing this may endanger his life. Why do you trust Master Gabriel and me so much? "
Amon seems to be smiling bitterly: "Man lives in the world, facing many unknown dangers, you don't know when and where it will appear. But you must believe some people, if no one in this world can be trusted, then live What's the point in this world? "
Maria's always peaceful look finally moved slightly, and Sakura's lips began to say something but didn't say it. Then Gabriel asked again, "Amon, do you know the word?"
Isn't that nonsense, how can Amon understand Nero's last words if he cannot read? And Maria should be more clear, I am afraid that Amon not only knows the Sword Book, but also the Ai Ku cursive, otherwise how could he call the name "Ai Kou"?
Amon replied honestly, "Sir, I can read." He didn't explain which language he knew.
Gabriel asked again, "Do you know God?"
Amon reverently replied, "In my capacity, I should not know God's Word, no one will teach me."
Gabriel stopped talking, and Maria said aside: "Gabriel, can you go outside the door for a while, I want to ask Amon alone."
Gabriel was stunned, but said nothing and immediately went out, and Sabre himself stood outside the door. It may not seem appropriate to leave an adult man and his maiden in a separate hall, but Gabriel knew that there would be no problem. She trusted Maria even more than herself.
What if Amon was an assassin? There is no need to worry about it, not to mention that Amon is now weak enough to barely walk, even if a great magician suddenly gets into trouble, Maria is enough to resist with the maiden hand and other magical artifacts in her hand.
When only Maria and Amon were left in the hall, the two were silent, and for a moment I didn't know what to say. The question just mentioned did not mention the content of the secret letter. Amon did not ask what was written on it, and Maria did not ask Amon to see if they had seen it. They all deliberately avoided the topic.
After a long time, or Maria first asked: "Amon, how do you know my name is Aiko? By the Roni River, I heard you calling me like this, is it just a coincidence?"
How should I answer it, is it to tell Maria that a great magician recorded the handwriting she had written with the information god? Amon finally lowered her head and no longer looked directly into her eyes, and slowly responded, "Master, you have written this name on a wall in Duke Town. Everything that happens in this world will always be There are traces, whether they are clear or not, it has happened, please forgive me for calling you that. "
Maria was not angry, and looked down at her fingers and said, "Amon, you can't call me like that in the future, I don't use this name anymore."
Amon raised his head again and said, "Observe, sir! I will not call you this way naturally, but is it a blasphemy to call you by my name in your heart? Please forgive me for being rude, but this is true . "
This is really bold and presumptuous, and actually said so in front of the saint maiden! Maria froze, but some dare not look up in his eyes, and whispered, "When we look up at the gods, we can see the starry sky and honest heart above us. Amon, the gods will not blame you How can I blame it? "
Amon sighed silently: "Thank you for your answer, Madam, someone has said something similar to me."
Maria raised her eyes. "Who?"
Amon: "His name is Aesop, the slave of a businessman from Memphis, who told me in the cape city-state."
Maria twisted the fingers of both hands together and sighed softly: "The nobleness of the heart doesn't differ because of identity .... Amon, if you want to call me Ai Kou, today you can Call it that way, but get out of this door, remember what I said. "
Then the two were silent again, and they didn't seem to know what to say. After a while, Amon finally asked: "Ai Kou, how are you doing?"
Maria asked, "Amon, you know that I am already the patron saint of the Temple of Isis. Why do you ask that?"
Amon lowered his eyes and looked at his toes, and weakly replied, "Yes, I know you are already the Virgin. But I also know that the high priest who should be loyal and upright by your side is not what people think. , I want to come and you have your difficulties, so I want to ask if you are happy? "
Maria smiled, as if the young girl smiled innocently: "I have already said that when I look up at the gods, I see the starry sky and the honest heart. I am the maiden of the goddess Isis It ’s a holy faith, and there is sin and darkness on earth, which is my firmer reason. Under the light of my heart, I ’m doing well. I should n’t describe it as unhappy, this is my glory and honor!
Ai Kou didn't hide anything from Amon. His special ability could feel the true emotions in her heart. At this moment, Amon fully understood her words. He looked at her, already thinking that sooner or later the maiden would become a great magician. The "fusion of faith" was a difficult test for others, but in her state of mind, it was only an inevitable process.
Amon already knew that Ai Kou had six levels of divine accomplishment, and it has been just over two years since she started practicing divine skill. Amon's speed of advancement has been quite amazing, but so far he has only a five-level achievement with one-sided strength. Although this kind of strength is more difficult to cultivate, he started much earlier than Maria, and was older than a few years ago. The madman laid various foundations for him.
If Maria does not have superhuman talent, nor will she be selected by the Virgin in the Temple of Isis. When she becomes a Virgin, she has all the conditions more convenient than Amon. Any book you want to see has any book. Whatever thing she wants to use, she has everything. Besides, she also has a maiden's staff, and she can test any magic skill smoothly.
