011, The past events that are prohibited ()

"Level 9...Demon...Magic?" Amon opened his mouth wide and forgot to close it, and his words became stuttering.

He heard it very clearly. The old madman was talking about a magician, not a magician. He was a person who had not obtained the permission of the gods and had privately learned magic. Such people were punished by the temple and actually gained the power equivalent to a demigod. It was too unbelievable!

The old madman stopped talking, his eyes passed through the wall as if he was looking at a very distant place, not knowing what he was recalling. After a long time, Amon came to his senses and asked carefully: "Then are you also a 'magic'?"

"Yes, I am a magician. But my achievements are not as good as those of a student, I am just an eighth-level magician." The old madman replied in a certain tone, but he did not turn his face to look at Amon.

Amon had already been petrified and looked at the old madman for a long time before asking in a low voice: "Your student..." He wanted to speak but stopped, not knowing how to ask.

The old madman said to himself, "His name is Bell. If he hadn't become a god, he might have died long ago. The last time I received his news was brought by Schrödinger thirty years ago. At that time, he kidnapped the saint of Isis Temple, Congni, and was being hunted by a large number of magicians and warriors. He wanted to come to find me, but he couldn't get out, and there was no news later."

Amon was like he was given a magic trick and could no longer speak. The old madman just said a few short words, but he contained too much shocking information. First of all, if the magician had not become a god, he might have died long ago, obviously implying that mortals could become gods. And among all the oracles, humans cannot live as eternal as gods, let alone a magician cursed by gods?

The second is the news brought by Schrödinger thirty years ago. So the cat has lived for at least thirty years and can also convey information between magicians. What a magical cat it is! Amon recalled his childhood experience. The fat cat, which was greedy and dirty, has been at the old madman's house since he can remember. But Schrödinger was too lazy and slept hard all day long in the corner, and almost no one would notice it.

The most shocking thing was that the magician named Bell actually kidnapped the saint of the Temple of Isis thirty years ago. At this time, Amon still did not fully know who the saint was, but he knew that a magician could not be openly silly, and that great magician Bell actually caused trouble in the temple, and seemed to care about his identity at all.

Amon stopped talking, but the old madman withdrew his gaze and turned to look at him and said, "You can't believe it, right? He entered the Temple of Mengfeisi and accepted the invitation to become the high priest of honor. In fact, it was to fulfill my wish. But even I didn't expect that he would have kidnapped along with the Saint and the Tears of the Gods. He was so bold, even crazy than me, the old madman!"

Amon, who had been in a petrified state, finally heard something was wrong, "No, no, no, how is this possible? Didn't the magician be rejected by the gods and chased by the temple? Why did he become the honorary high priest of the Temple of Meng Feisi again?"

The old madman smiled, which was his most common expression, with a playful sneer: "The contents about divine arts and physical arts I just introduced to you are all the statements on the Tianshu Continent since ancient times. It seems to be a fact, but it may contain many mistakes and lies. I taught Bell to learn everything, and I only hope that he will fulfill one of my wishes, which is to find out the true secrets of the gods."

Amon's brain was a little unusable at this moment. He couldn't think of so many complicated questions for a moment, and asked afterwards: "You haven't told me how a magician who is disliked by gods can become the high priest of the Temple of Mengfeisi?"

The sneer on the old madman's face became even more obvious: "Only the so-called nobles are qualified to learn divine arts and need to obtain permission from the temple. These statements are just lies by the priests and priests who attempt to monopolize divine arts. Private divine arts are called magicians and cannot be tolerated. If you are just a low-level or intermediate-level magician, the situation is indeed like this, and you will be punished or even chased by the temple. But if you are lucky enough to become a great magician, the situation will change and become very dramatic."

"What drama?" Amon became more and more confused. From childhood to adulthood, he only watched dramas praising God on festivals in the town every year.

The old madman asked back, "Among, would you compensate a flock of sheep for hunting a wild beast? If that beast did not provoke you at all, would you even be willing to help you?"

Amon: "Of course not, I'm not a fool!"

The old madman snorted coldly and said, "The priests in the temple are not fools either! The cost of destroying a great magician is too high. It is necessary to endure a heavy loss. It is not a forced one. Who would be willing to do such a loss-making business? If a great magician appears in the territory of a temple, as long as he does not reveal his identity and does not become an enemy of the temple, the priests are happy to pretend not to know. If he has exposed his identity and has to deal with it, he usually uses another method first."

Amon gradually understood a little, but asked: "What method?"

The old madman turned his head and looked at the wall again, and his eyes seemed to pass through the room and look into the distance, telling Amon about Bell's past-

A great magician appeared in the territory. The cleverest way was to "destroy" him without losing or even enhancing his own strength. Then he could negotiate. Persuasion, buy him into the temple, accept the blessings of the gods, give him a noble status, and become a priest in honor. All troubles were solved, and there was no need to suffer heavy losses and fight to the death.

The great magician is a transcendent existence in any place on Tianshu Continent. Of course, every temple hopes to have more great magicians to take charge, which is also a symbol of strength and status. Even the kings secretly approve of such things. Who doesn’t want more great magicians to serve themselves?

Once a magician turns into a magician, he not only doesn’t have to worry about his identity, but also enjoys a status of honor. The temples that can attract great magicians all enjoy huge wealth and resources. Practicing magicians here and enjoying people’s respect is much better than a shameful magician. Why not do it?

Therefore, this kind of negotiation is often relaxed and pleasant, and both sides are happy. But there are exceptions. Those who can practice magical skills and have high-level achievements are rare geniuses in the world, and there are many arrogant people, and they may not accept such invitations. But as long as they are not openly enemies of the temple, the temple will privately promise benefits or give generous gifts, as long as they are at peace with each other.

Only in a blatant hostile relationship, when the great magician is enemies with the kingdom and the temple, it must be eliminated at this time. It will be an extremely fierce extermination battle, and even mobilize various forces to participate.

Bell was a student of the old madman Nietzsche. When he entered Mengfeisi City thirty-six years ago, he was already an eighth-level magician. He was very straightforward to do things, and went directly to the Temple of Isis to reveal his identity and demonstrate his magic achievements, which surprised the saints and the three high priests in charge at that time. The next thing was natural, Bell became the honorary high priest of the Temple of Isis, a respected great magician.

Meng Feisi Temple declared to the public that Bell has been practicing divine art for many years and never cared about the rise of his reputation. It was not until he became a level 8 master magician that he accepted the identity of the honorary high priest. How pious, humble, and persevering he was, and so awe-inspiring!

At the beginning, Bell only had the symbolic identity of an honorary high priest and did not hold real power. However, three years later, the situation changed again. While he was the honorary high priest of the Temple of Isis, his divine art was advanced to level nine, becoming an existence equivalent to a demigod. You should know that the saint Cong Ni, who represented the highest authority of the Temple of Isis, had only level eight of her divine art achievements.

Bell's status not only became extremely honorable in the Temple of Isis, but also became one of the elders of the Divine Arts Council of the Eju Empire. He was qualified to participate in discussing the supreme mystery of divine arts, and guided the cultivation of divine arts by the nobles and priests. He could also check the records of the classics and documents of the Temple of Isis and the Archives of the Aius Gods Council. - This was the purpose of Bell entering the Temple of Isis.

It was the old madman Nietzsche who taught him everything, and he only hoped that he would fulfill one wish: to figure out how the gods become gods? If you know this secret, then you might be able to answer two questions - can mortals become gods as well? If so, how can they become gods?

The difficulty of fulfilling this wish was almost beyond imagination. The old madman did not ask Bell to succeed, as long as he tried his best. As far as the old madman knew, Bell might be close to success. Even if he did not answer all the questions, he had at least mastered the key to understanding this puzzle. Otherwise, he would not have abducted the saint of Isis Temple.

It was the abduction of the Saint Maiden that completely changed Bell's fate later. If it had not happened, Bell would continue to enjoy a honorable position, and might become one of the greatest magicians in the history of the Eju Empire. Perhaps he could still fully fulfill the wish of the old madman. But things cannot be assumed again. Thirty years ago, Bell left the Temple of Isis, not only took away the Saint Maiden, but also took away the tears of the gods under the control of Cong Ni.

Speaking of this, the old madman suddenly said a distracting sentence with emotion: "The insider said in private that Bell kidnapped the Saint, but I see that the Saint was most likely voluntarily kidnapped by him. She has the tears of the gods. Even if she can't beat Bell, she will not be kidnapped if she is determined to fight to the death... Until thirty years later, right here, you mined the Tears of the Gods with your own hands. That Maria will become the new guardian saint of the Isis Temple, and they finally have the Saint again!"

Amon was shocked again and blurted out a question he was most concerned about: "Maria! She will become a saint! Who is the saint?"

The old madman poured another full glass of wine, but he didn't rush to drink it, and shook the cup in his hand and replied, "Don't rush to interrupt, I'm just about to say this..."

The main god believed in by the Eju Empire was the King of Horus, and Pharaoh of Eju claimed to be the spokesperson of the God of Horus on earth. The kings of Eju are all located in the city of Bis in Ueju. The Temple of Horus in the city of Bis is the main temple of all Eju, which is equivalent to the highest theocracy center in the country. Temples all over the country also obey it. Of course, the main priest of the main temple of Horus was personally served by Pharaoh of Eju himself.

However, the Pharaoh himself usually lives in the palace to handle government affairs, and he will only climb to the altar of the temple as the main priest during the major rituals. Therefore, there is a chief priest in the temple who usually presents sacrifices to the King of Horus and other gods on behalf of the Pharaoh. In addition to the chief priest, there are three high priests in the main priests in the Horus Temple in charge of daily affairs, and their status is far higher than that of the high priests in ordinary local temples.

There are also a group of high priests in the main temple of Horus. They are the most honorable group in the empire. The Divine Arts Council and Divine Arts Academy, which represent the highest authority in the empire's divine arts, are also located here.

Upper Eju is located in the valley with fertile land in the upper reaches of the Ronnie River. The Eju Empire also has an important territory in the Lower Eju, located in the lower delta of the Ronnie River. Historically, Eju was divided into two countries. The capital of the Lower Eju was Mengfeis, and later the Pharaoh completed the unification.

Mengfeisi's main temple is the Temple of Isis, which is also the most important temple in the entire Lower Eju. The nominal main priest is also the Pharaoh of Eju, symbolizing the rule of Lower Eju, but the person who represents the Pharaoh to sacrifice to the gods is the saint.

The main god worshipped in the Temple of Isis is of course Goddess Isis. She is the mother of Horus in mythology and legend, the god of fertility believed by the Eju people, and the patron saint of Mengfeisi City since ancient times. Not only Goddess Isis is enjoying sacrifices in the Temple of Isis, but also various gods of Eju. The middle of the temple is the statue of Goddess Isis holding the young Horus.

Isis is regarded as the Virgin in Eju. There is a tradition since ancient times. Those who sacrifice to the goddess on behalf of their people on earth are called Saints. The full name is "The Guardian Saint of Goddess Isis". The tears of the gods on her scepter are symbols of the identity of the saint, representing the loyalty, love, and sympathy of Goddess Isis, as well as the pleading and blessing eyes towards the world.

The Saint is pure and pious, and devotes everything she has to Goddess Isis. Therefore, no adult man can touch her, but can only kiss the soil under her feet to express his respect.

According to records, thirty years ago, Cong Ni, the saint of the Temple of Isis, relied on the power given by the goddess to destroy an evil ninth-level magician. She herself was unfortunately killed. The tears of the gods on the scepter were damaged in this tragic battle. This is what Eju official said, and its authority is unquestionable.

The evil great magician was of course Bell. This incident was called "the disaster of the magician" in Eju history. As far as the old madman knew, the actual situation was that the honorary high priest of the Temple of Isis and the ninth-level great magician Bell kidnapped the saint Congni and took away the tears of the gods. This was absolutely intolerable, and it had violated and shaken the authority of the gods who ruled the empire.

The Pharaoh issued a secret order to eliminate him. Wherever Bell passed, the forces of the temples of the Lower Eju participated in the encirclement and suppression. Bell hid everywhere, but eventually could not accommodate him in the Eju Empire. He crossed the desert and escaped from the border and came to the deep mountains at the border of Assyrian, Barron, Hathi and Eju.

Pharaoh Eju sent a large number of magicians and warriors to cross the border to hunt them down, and none of these people came back in the end, and there was no news about Bell and the Saint Congni from then on.

After this incident, Bell, as the honorary high priest of the Temple of Isis, all records of the elders of the Aeju Divine Arts Council were destroyed and no one was allowed to mention it again. In the official records, he was an evil great magician who was destroyed by the saint Congni at all costs.

Speaking of this, the old madman was silent again. There was no sound in the room for a long time, and the old and the young were thinking about their own thoughts.

Amon finally understood the identity of the saint and who Maria would become, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad. Although he knew that nothing could happen between him and Maria, there was always a trace of indescribable regret in his heart, and he couldn't help thinking about her silently and let out a deep sigh. Just hearing this sigh, he was not like a fourteen-year-old child at all.

In the end, Amon first spoke and broke the silence: "You said that your student, the great magician Bell, is he close to successfully breaking the secrets of the gods. Is there any exact evidence?"
