Nietzsche traveled to many city-states on the mainland and experienced many wars. When he became a great magician, he watched many wars in an almost cold way, secretly made cold and extremely detailed casualties statistics, and found an overlooked problem.

The casualty rate of the first-level warriors seems to be a little high during a long-term battle. Although it is lower than that of ordinary warriors, it is significantly higher than that of second-level warriors. This is asymmetric compared to their power differences. For example, in a war of tens of thousands of people, Nietzsche statistics showed that the casualty rate of ordinary warriors on both sides reached 35%, the casualty rate of first-level warriors reached 20%, while the casualty rate of second-level warriors was only 7%, and the casualty rate of third-level warriors was only 5%.

This result is obviously abnormal. As a practitioner of the same level of physical skills, the power difference between the first-level samurai and the second-level samurai is not that big, and the difference in fighting skills is even smaller. The old madman then carefully studied this issue, searching for battlefields everywhere, and going wherever there is a large-scale bloody conflict. He is simply like a bloodthirsty person.

He gradually discovered a detail. Many first-level warriors with very skilled power are prone to "illness" in long-term fighting, troubled by various injuries, and even old injuries that happened a long time ago. This is easily overlooked in the cruel battlefield environment and no one has studied it deeply. If these people survive with extraordinary will and strong bodies and a little luck, they will often advance to second-level warriors.

The old madman followed this clue to do more research and found that level 2 warriors will be troubled by physical factors before they advance to level. People generally believe that this is a normal phenomenon in physical skills practice. Ordinary people's physical constitution cannot adapt to the extraordinary strength. They need to exercise with strong will to achieve the achievements of level 2 physical skills in order to enhance their physical strength.

This view is correct, but no one pays attention to the unusual regularity. However, the old madman has summarized a rule, which is a test that must be encountered in physical practice, which is reflected in the exposure of all hidden injuries and diseases in the body. If the physical condition is not good, he will not be able to pass such a test, but if it appears on the battlefield, the situation will be serious, but it will not only be a problem of passing the test.

As a first-level warrior, who rushed directly to the front line on the battlefield, he naturally would not be a person with a noble status. He was all civilians who were lucky enough to practice physical skills and were summoned to the front line. They must appear in the most intense battles, and also need military merit to change their status. Therefore, the high casualties did not attract much attention.

The old madman called this test "the purity of the body". Thinking of the various tests that must be faced in the process of practicing magic, he guessed that there must be something in common and regular, and told the student Bell. Now, through the research results sent back by Bell, he awakened the power of both sides of Amon's body and obtained a precise confirmation in this child.

After the old madman said this, Amon suddenly realized and no longer worried about his situation. After all, he was not going through this test on the battlefield. The old madman said again: "You must pass this test before the disaster comes. I am still worried about whether it is too late. I didn't expect that you have taken this step, so I can feel much more at ease."

The old madman mentioned the disaster again, and Amon couldn't help but ask: "What kind of disaster is it? Isn't Ma Qi's affairs still a disaster?" The neighbors who had been familiar since childhood were killed in front of him. The storm caused in the town and the crying and worry of Ma Qi's family were already a disaster in Amon's eyes.

The old madman shook his head and said, "It's not the time to tell you, and you will soon face another disaster. The day you leave Duke Town is coming."

Amon said in surprise: "Leaving Duke Town? This town's laws are not allowed! Moreover, I am not a great magician yet... Also, what should my father do?"

The old madman sighed: "You don't have to worry about these things, and worrying is useless. Everyone here has their own destination, and you have your destiny. In fact, since you mined the tears of the gods and that Fayol claimed that you gave them to Goddess Isis privately, you were destined to accept the punishment of the kingdom."

Amon wondered: "The punishment of the kingdom?"

The old madman sneered: "Dasti and Xiao Gu will naturally pretend not to know, so they have no responsibility. The Tears of the Gods were presented to Goddess Isis privately! ... But Maria should have arrived at the Temple of Isis and become a saint. The news of how she got Tears of the Gods in Duke Town will inevitably be made public.

The Kingdom of Hati will not publicly protest anything, nor can it be pursued, but there must be some people who are dissatisfied in secret. A miner mined the tears of the gods, but did not report them according to the regulations, but secretly presented them to the temple of the Eju Empire. This is serious! If there is no punishment, how can we prevent similar things from happening again? If we cannot punish Rhode Dick, can we still punish you?"

Amon frowned: "How will the Kingdom punish me?"

The old madman: "You will be beheaded if you find another crime, violate a certain decree or an oracle, otherwise how can you warn others? You can think of it with your heels!"

Amon gasped: "Behead! When?"

The old madman: "Rod Dick hasn't left Hathi, the news may have spread. But if you deal with you, you need to wait until the news of the saint ascending the throne is announced, and then send an envoy from the royal capital. It should take more than two months to come, and it will be soon!... But you don't have to worry about being beheaded. I still have some old friendships here, and I will arrange your departure in advance. You should prepare for a long journey from now on, don't tell anyone!"

Amon's expression became panicked and even a little helpless: "Are I leaving Duke Town? Leaving my father and you..." He was just a young man who had never traveled far away. He suddenly heard the news and didn't know what to do for a moment.

The old madman patted his shoulder and said, "Child, you will grow up one day. I have taught you so much. I just want you to be a clerk in Duke Town? The outside world is very big. Don't forget your promise to me and unlock the secrets of the gods... As for this, I will arrange everything. After the storm and waves pass, you can come back."

Amon: "You can come back, well, that's good! But I..."

The old madman interrupted him and said, "But you haven't learned more yet, right? I will try my best to record everything I know and hand it over to you. The rest depends on you. Not only do I hope you can unravel the secrets of the gods, but I also hope that you can personally confirm this path, so I don't want you to go the wrong path. And I took the wrong path at the beginning, even if I become a level nine magician, it may be the end. Now, I want to remind you three things, you must remember and don't ask the reason."

Amon was a little stunned: "Tell me, I will remember!"

The three things that the old madman told me are very special-

First, no matter how powerful Amon is in the future, try not to kill people directly. It is not that you cannot kill people, but try to avoid killing people directly. There is a big difference between the two. If you have to directly hurt anyone, including living creatures, try to use the smallest power as much as possible for the same effect.

Second, no matter how big the disaster you experience, try not to make people resent him. If it inevitably arouses direct hatred from some people, then more people will be grateful to him and respect him from the bottom of their hearts.

Third, if the above two points bring confusion to yourself, which is contrary to the choice of belief, or there is no choice between life and death, and you must kill people directly and make people resent, you can no longer consider it and you don’t have to worry about it.

It is easy to remember these three points, but it is difficult to understand. Amon blinked his eyes and thought for a long time. Since the old madman didn't let him ask why, he asked another question: "You want me to try to avoid killing people directly, but why did you kill Ma Qi directly that day? And the power you use is quite large?"

There seemed to be a deep helplessness in the old madman's eyes: "These are what I hope you remember. As for me, it doesn't matter anymore!... Child, do these three points make you feel familiar with me?"

Amon shook his head: "I can't remember, it's the first time I heard of it."

The old madman: "It is the first time I told others this. This is mentioned in the news from Bell, but he did not explain why... Amon, give me your branch for a few days, and I will reprocess it."

The old madman changed the topic. The so-called branch of course refers to Amon's top-quality iron embryo. Amon gave the stick to the old madman. After returning home, he thought of what he was talking about today. He was not only worried about future disasters, but also had a sense of inexplicable curiosity and yearning.

He was silently preparing for a long journey, but in fact he was not prepared. He didn't know where he was going. He was more concerned about what to do after he left? Youlan Shuixin must take with him. He also had another twenty divine stones, which was enough for his father to use for several years. The old madman promised to take care of the matter here. Anyway, he could come back again, so there was no need to worry too much.

The three things that the old madman said to remember were mentioned in the oral letter sent back by Bell, but the last time he recalled Bell's oral letter, it seemed that he had not told Amon all the situation. I wonder what he had left?

A few days later, Amon's "disease" cured and all the problems disappeared so naturally. That night, Amon sat at home and inexplicably felt every muscle and pore in his body were so comfortable and comfortable, and even every breath was so happy. This is the real body of his own, so that he could use the awakened power in his blood without any awkwardness.

He had passed the test of "purity of the body", and his physical skills were level 2. According to the old madman, Amon should continue to practice the second level divine art at this time. Amon originally wanted to go to the Black Fire Jungle, but since that was the case, he went to the old madman's house and wanted to tell him the news, and asked how to practice the second level divine art next.

He walked outside the old madman's yard, but felt something was wrong with the yard, as if an invisible force was blocking the door and preventing people from entering. As soon as Amon touched this force, he heard a voice as if he was right in his ear: "Mr. Nietzsche, is the person outside the child you mentioned?"

This was the voice of an old man, not from the town. Then Amon heard the voice of the old madman and replied in his ear: "Yes, Gelie, he is Amon."

It turned out that a guest came to the old madman's house, named Gelie. Amon had never heard of this name. Amon only heard this question and answer, and then there was no sound. The power in front of the door did not mean to open him in. Obviously, the old madman and Gelie were not going to talk to him, nor did he let him in and disturb him. Amon stood tactfully in the corner outside the courtyard and waited quietly.
