Vol 2 Chapter 83: Land of Marduk

Chapter 083: Land of Marduk
Lescott-Lee was also concerned about the trouble or danger of Amon's magician status, but now it seems that this possibility is very small. Amon once acted side by side with Prince Feng New, rescued Princess Xiao Qian in the giant tribe, and entered into a relationship with two of the most noble figures in the kingdom. Who would offend such a person for no reason? As long as Amon didn't say it himself, I'm afraid no one would investigate whether he was a magician.
This boy is really amazing, everything has caught up!
Medanzo learned about Amon's situation here at Siou. He did not expect that Amon's experience after breaking up with him would be so wonderful. In Medanzo's mind, Amon's status is a deity, and even doing more magical things is not incredible. Now that he knew where Amon was, he made a request to Siou, and as a bodyguard, he went back to Monfis with his caravan to find Amon. Of course, Siou agreed.
Medanzo was a noble warrior in the capital of Balun. To see Amon's willingness to condescend to be the bodyguard of Siou, Siou was very flattered. After coming to Monfis, Medanzo wanted to stay at the inn, but how could the enthusiastic Siou let him go, he must stay at home and entertain him.
The two had already reached the house of Xiou during the conversation, and Xiou hurriedly greeted the front hall. When he met, he saluted, "Master, you haven't been here for a long time. Xiou has been looking forward to your presence! "
Amon hurriedly stopped: "No need to be polite. In front of you, I haven't changed much. Don't call me an adult. I'm not a nobleman."
Siou said: "You are already the captain of the guard, the captain of the Temple of Isis, more honorable than the ordinary nobility! ... You have not come to my house for three months, and it is exactly that Lord Medanzo is also here, Be sure to have a few drinks today. "
Amon was also not good at declining. He hosted a banquet on the day of Siou ’s house. During the banquet, Siou was drunk and vented his dissatisfaction with Amon ’s identity. Adult, it seems that you are the captain of the temple guard as a civilian. It is said that the lord lady takes special care of you, why don't you make such a request? "
Amon explained with a bitter smile: "What I have done has been rewarded enough. As a civilian warrior, but promoted to the captain of the archives, how can I make more excessive demands? The decree of the empire. "
Siou mumbled drunkly: "The statutes of the empire are really strict, and even with a lot of money, it is difficult to become a noble."
The aristocratic status of the Aju Empire can only be obtained in two ways, one is hereditary, and the other is a special gift. The second method is very difficult. It must make a major contribution to the empire. It is specially recommended by the aristocracy above the city-state and the pharaoh. This kind of merit is mainly the merit of the war or the praises of the people. Amon just throws a shuttle gun at the ceremony. He is loyal to his job and has not reached that level.
If anyone can become a great warrior, it is not difficult to obtain the status of a nobleman, but the hope of a civilian learning physical skills to have the achievement of the great warrior is too slim. Siou's dissatisfaction is also told to himself. He is a very rich businessman, but merely being rich does not change the identity of civilians. He once said that if he was able to obtain the status of an aristocratic adult, he would even be willing to give up half of his family property. Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity.
At the banquet, Amon and Medanzo listened to Siou making a grievance all night until the two had the opportunity to speak alone. Medanzo is already a fifth-level samurai and magician. He said to Amon: "The firmness of the faith and the temptation of the devil may be difficult to face. When I recovered from the pain, my life seemed to have gone through Changed, my faith became clearer, and I quickly passed these tests. Amen, I do n’t know how to describe my gratitude, you are the who guides me! "
Amon also said with emotion: "The faith comes from your heart, I didn't force you to do anything, and I don't want to do something like that. In your character, it's really not easy not to promise anything to Princess Xiao Qian, no wonder Will pass the test of the devil's temptation. Of course, I am not saying that Princess Xiao Qian is a devil, nor is it that the title of the noble is fiend, you should understand .... has achieved five levels of achievement, since your time Has practice been interrupted? "
Mei Danzuo grinned and said, "O God, you understand my aspirations and pursuits. It was to restore the nobility and the glory of our ancestors, but after I became a noble again, I realized that what I really hope is another This kind of transcendence, embarked on the path you directed. Except for the interruption of the days when you walked with you, I have been persistent, and it is my life. "
Amon nodded thoughtfully: "The two-faced strength training, which it gains, is a kind of strength, but at the same time it is a habitual consciousness. Forgetting it and having it naturally may be the real pursuit. May Danzo, now that you have embarked on this path, I hope to remember this. "
...
Medanzo temporarily stayed in the city of Monfez. Amon entrusted him with a task to buy a house in the city as a foothold, and gave him a document to prove his identity. The name was Aro blame. Of course, it is convenient for someone to do things, but some things can't be left to the guards of his subordinates. Medanzo came at the right time.
Amon is rich enough to buy the most suitable place. On the west side near the edge of the city, Medanzo bought a large house, a manor of a downcast nobleman. Not only the front yard and back yard, but also a small independent garden. The spacious front hall has a fountain. There is also a small private house shrine in the back yard to worship the gods and meditate. It seems that many years ago this The owner of the manor was also a wizard.
Now it becomes Amon's house. Everything is taken care of by Medanzo, and he also hires a group of servants, such as a concierge. Medanzo has become a housekeeper, and the real master Arroyo is very Little appearance, said to be busy.
Amon also brought Schrödinger into this house, and Medanzo knew the cat, and told everyone to respect and respect Schrödinger. This is the cat offered by Grandpa. But Schrodinger didn't like to live here. Most of the time, he was still mingling with the idle cats outside the Temple of Isis. He couldn't find it, but had to wait for it to come out.
In order to let Schrödinger like it, Amon ordered people to replace the idol dedicated to the temple in the backyard with Eju cat Best. Every day he put the best wine and fresh and delicious grilled fish. Whether Schrödinger came or not, in fact Is for it. In this way, Schrödinger would come here every day, after eating and drinking, and slipping away, it seems that he is very satisfied with this arrangement.
Maria initially advised Amon to stay in the Temple of Isis and openly become a glorified warrior. The main purpose was to protect him. In fact, the Temple of Isis did not lack a samurai. Maria also promised at the beginning that he would not prevent him from returning to his hometown. If Amon had something to do, he would be sent to Duke town to perform the task.
There were still several months in the year originally agreed, and Medanzo himself came to Monfis, and Amon couldn't be more anxious. Regardless of whether it is divine or physical, the higher the cultivation content becomes, the more profound and complicated it becomes. Amon encounters the first failure since cultivation. He wanted to process the snake tendon obtained on the Barron River into a magical artifact, but it was not controlled, and he watched the precious snake tendon break in his hands, destroying it into useless waste.
But he also had another unexpected gain, which was the guidance from Schrodinger.
There is nothing surprising about Amon's purchase of a private house in the city. As the captain of the guard and Lulu, it is not normal to buy another residence in the city. Amon will leave the temple only when he is not in rotation. Once he came to the back of the house and walked into the small temple dedicated to the goddess Best, only to find Schrödinger drinking and eating meat on the case.
Amon laughed and stood silently watching without disturbing the cat's interest. Schrödinger didn't look back but knew that Amon was here. After eating and drinking, he jumped out of the divine case, raised his paw to make a beckoning action like a human, and then ran into the yard.
When Amon chased out, Schrodinger had disappeared, but left two lines of words on the ground, and it was not written by God! This cat was the first time to write worldly text, and Amon was surprised. The thing written on the ground must not be understood by the individual, but Amon recognized it at a glance. It was the archival number of the Temple of Isis.
It seemed that the cat was in a good mood. After drinking, he directed Amon to find two papers in the archives. What did Schrodinger want to point him at? Amon was also curious.
Although he was the captain of the archives, he could not browse the collections at will. Only by trying to arrange himself to watch the corresponding reading room alone, he could take the archives out and take a closer look when no one had the chance. The first document was quickly found. In a very high-level document collection room, it was placed on the lowest level of a shelf protected by a detection array. Fortunately, Amun's detective magic has been practiced to a high level, and can take out the paperwork without issuing an alarm.
The result surprised and delighted him. The title of the document was "The Land of Marduk," and the content recorded above was the legend about the town of Duke mentioned by Maria. Amon spent more than half a year searching but couldn't get it. If it was not for Schrödinger's instructions, he didn't know when to find it. It seemed that the cat knew what he was thinking.
Amonwan did not expect that the name of Duque was actually related to Malduk, the main of the Baron kingdom. I thought that it was the place where Marduk became famous in the First World War. It was the battle of the gods in Anuna ’s long history. .
In Anuna Kai mythology, the earliest gods were the goddess Apsu and the goddess Amat, and they gave birth to the male Rachem and the goddess Raham, and Rachem and the female Raham gave birth. God Anu. Anuna Kai is named after the Anu. It is said that he is the supreme of the highest status. This is how it happened. It involves a very long battle.
The Anu has two sons, Enril and Aia, and Aia is the legendary of wisdom. He has a son named Marduk. Enril gave birth to Luna Nannar and Sun God Utu, and Luna Nannar gave birth to Mu Yun, known as the goddess of Venus. Myths and legends are like this. These deities may not symbolize the sun, moon, and stars, but they are known in the world.
The goddess Mu Yun once told Amon herself that the relationship between the gods is not the kind of kinship relationship that mortals understand, and there is no explanation for how it happened. But in the legends of the classics that Amon saw, it is still recorded according to kinship.
It is said that the gods had contradictions in dividing the realm of God, and Ai attacked and killed Apsu. In order to get revenge, Amat created nine kinds of monsters, including nine monster snakes, swamp serpents, scorpion dragons, sea monsters, giant lions, three evil dogs, poisonous scorpions in human faces, charm mermaids, and wild cattle. He handed over to his other son, Jingut, the sacred thing representing the supreme status at the time of the establishment of the deities, and asked him to take revenge.
The gods split into two factions. One was led by Amat, the combat commander was King Gut, the other was led by Enril, and the commander was Marduk. In the middle of the Tianshu continent, a battle of the gods broke out. I don't know how many gods fell. As a result, Marduk achieved victory, killed Amat and Gingut, and won the Tablet of Destiny. Therefore, the battlefield was also called the "land of Marduk".
The winner's side had friction. Enril, as the leader of the gods, should have received the Tablet of Destiny, but Marduk gave the Tablet of Destiny directly to the Anu, so that Enril did not become the master of Anuna. Supreme God of Apocalypse. However, Anu and E'an did not intend to continue to participate in the struggle between the gods, and then retired to the legendary kingdom of Anuna Kai.
A conflict broke out between the two great gods, Enril and Marduk, and the result was the division of the gods, while the other gods were attached to the gods of the two great gods, enjoying their own strength based on the achievements of the battle of the gods. Holy area.
Legend has it that the fallen gods have blood condensed into flame spirits, muscles condensed into pupils of the earth, breath condensed into wind charm dances, sweat condensed into faint blue water hearts, and the crystals of bones have turned into ordinary stones. The tears of the gods are condensed by the tears shed by the gods. Duke Town is not the only place on the mainland where stones are produced, but the output is very high, naturally related to this ancient war.
When the two great deities divided the realm, the land of Marduk was placed on the edge of Enril's divine realm. Enril did not want to have the name of Marduk in his divine realm. Later, the place where some people lived was simply called Duke Town. . There is no such legendary record in the local shrine, but the story is recorded in the documents in the temple of Isis in Egu.
The land of Marduk was once very rich, but it became desolate with the battle of the gods. There is a place where the gods fall, a place that is detested by the gods, and a place of exile. The miners who live there have been mining gods for the people who admired the gods for generations and must not leave their hometown. This is a punishment. It is said that their ancestors supported Amart and King Gut in the battle of the gods.
Legends are just legends, and no one knows whether it is true. Amon grew up in Duque, knowing that the patron saint there was Mu Yun. How did the goddess Mu Yun become the patron saint of Duke Town? This document did not mention it, but did mention two other noticeable things.
One is that the miners in Duke were cursed by gods and engaged in heavy labor for generations. The skills of miners in Duke Town are also taught by the gods, including the awakening ritual of power, and even the most basic divine skills, similar to the two awakenings of power, but there is no real breakthrough. The purpose of the gods handing down the skills of the miners is just to let them labor for generations until they are redeemed and forgiven.
No wonder Maria once said that Amon was a miner from Duke Town, and the second awakening ceremony through power is not difficult. She is the patron saint of the goddess Isis, and does not care much about the legend of the Anuna Kai. The truth of the legend is unknown, but the skills of the miners in Duke are real. The final step of the divine stone mining is done by the magician. Only in Duke is the miner.
The second is the prophecy passed down from some age. When the land of Marduk returns to richness, a new of gods will appear. There is also a saying that there will be a new battle of the gods. These legends cannot be verified, but in the main temples of Hati and the Assyrian Kingdom, Enril's shrine is clearly recorded. He will make it a fertile land again, and he will become the true of the gods.
After reading the myths and legends contained in this article, Amon took a breath. These should be legends from a long time ago. No one knows whether it is true or false, but Duke Town is indeed a very special place. He couldn't ask questions about the deities, but the area around Duke was about to become a fertile ground. If he wanted to guide the people back to their homeland, the road might be full of thorns and sweat.
Then he thought of another thing. Finding the way to become a is the task given to him by the old lunatic. Is it also related to this ancient legend and prophecy? Bell has been here before. There is a connection between him and the old lunatic. The old lunatic should also know the records in this book.
Amon turned to the last page of the document, and it really confirmed his guess. Someone left two marks in the blank, very fuzzy, but the lines looked like the front and back of the token that the old lunatic gave himself.
That brand was also Bell's token. Why did he keep his mark here? Is it waiting for someone to read this document, what is it implying? Subconsciously, Amon wanted to take out the brand and compare it, then thought that the brand was not on his body.
It is not difficult to find the first volume of documents, but it is not easy to consult Schrodinger's second volume of documents. According to the numbered index, the document was locked in a cabinet with many important books, and the keys were held by the high priest in charge of the archives. Amon couldn't open it quietly without leaving any traces. He had to wait for the opportunity.
Amon hadn't waited for the right opportunity, but first waited for the call of the Virgin. Still Gabriel personally preached, and the place where the maiden called him was the daily study of official documents, very spacious like a small palace. The maiden gave him enough courtesy, and still gave him a seat. The seat was far away, and a blanket was spread in front of him. Amon could only salute on the blanket and sit down and talk.
Behind her desk, Maria was a private meeting. There was no one else in the study. Maria had let Gabriel back down. Distance doesn't affect anything, Amon can still see her clearly, even if the curvature of each eyelash is very clear.
According to common sense, Maria should first praise Amon's behavior at the blessing ceremony, but she didn't say so, just looking at him and asking, "Amon, are you okay?"
