020, Incredible Cat
()
Amon is a child who has never traveled far away. He doesn't know what to do if he doesn't know what to do. The old madman actually asked him to take a cat with him! The cat is not as listened to people as a dog, and he can't take it away if he wants to take it away. He asked in a hint: "Why did you ask me to take Schrödinger with me? Can it go with me?"
The old madman's next words surprised Amon again-
"Schrödinger has been here for thirty years. I have never heard it call except for the information magic that Bell sealed on it, and its appearance has not changed at all. It is impossible for me to even hug it. But it did not leave and stayed in Duke Town. I suddenly came with me just now, maybe just waiting for today. Amon, this is not an ordinary cat. Schrödinger may become your guide. Its origin is extraordinary. I have not told you."
Amon asked in surprise: "What is its origin? What else do you have to tell me?" This cat was simply incredible. Not to mention anything else, it has only been unchanged for thirty years and has not screamed, which is far beyond ordinary people's understanding.
The old madman did not answer, but asked again: "Do you know where you are going?"
Amon looked at the two certificates he had just received and said, "Isn't it the Eju Empire? You should have asked the mayor to give it to me. With it, I can go through the desert to Eju."
The old madman shook his head: "No, that's just for your future. I asked the mayor to announce that decree in public is not entirely an excuse. I really want you to find Bell's whereabouts. Think about it carefully, who in this world is most likely to find the last place where Bell appeared?"
Amon pointed to the cat on the ground: "Of course it's Schrödinger! But you haven't been able to let it take you there for so many years, so how could I do it? Maybe it's forgotten... You have something to tell me but didn't tell me. It's time, please say it all at once."
The old madman also glanced at Schrödinger: "Then I will tell you all," Bell not only took away the saint Cong Ni and the Tears of the Gods from the Temple of Isis, but also stole a holy object and a cat from the secret information I've found over the years. The Temple of Isis once issued a secret order to retrieve these two things, and only the high priests of Eju knew about it.
It is normal to secretly retrieve the holy objects. The Temple of Isis does not want the news of losing the holy objects to be made public, but why do you find a cat? Why is Bell taking a cat away? There must be some mystery here worth exploring. Although Bell did not tell me, I guess that cat must be Schrödinger. But I have never solved this mystery for thirty years, and Schrödinger never ignored me.
To be honest, I have tried to find Bell's whereabouts through Schrödinger many times over the years, but I have never succeeded. It seems that this cat likes you more, and I have seen you hug it. This is the most surprising thing I have in the past thirty years.
Next, you should practice the second level magic technique. The test you will face is "firm faith". I only explore the secrets of the gods here. Child, this road is very difficult. I don't let you call me a teacher because of this. The path you are going to take is not something I can guide.
Bell obviously learned more. Finding Bell's whereabouts is your first step to unlock the secrets of the gods. How to go on the road ahead, he must have left a message! Leave Duke Town to find Bell, and bringing this Schrödinger with you may succeed. Don't be afraid. With your current achievements, there is no problem in traveling through the mountains to deal with ordinary beasts or savages in caves. I also hope you don't regret it in the future."
The old madman said a long sentence and reached out to pat Amon on the shoulder. Amon lowered his head and said, "I'm not afraid, nor do I regret it."
The old madman sighed with relief: "Child, I did not read you wrong. Now you can try to take Schrödinger away. If you can take it away, you will have hope of finding Bell's whereabouts."
How to take it? The old madman stood aside, Amon walked forward a few steps and turned around and shouted, "Cat, cat, come with me... Schrödinger! Come with me!... Good cat, go."
Amon called for a long time, and Schrödinger paid attention to him, but he turned around and squatted down again, with an arrogant attitude, and pointed a front paw at Amon, which looked like a nobleman summoning a servant to support him. This dirty, lazy, greedy and fat cat is quite good.
Amon was stunned for a moment, walked over and hugged Schrödinger. Schrödinger yawned and curled up and fell asleep! The old madman also smiled bitterly and pointed to the big leather pocket that Amon had crossed the mountain. He could not hold the cat even if he crossed mountains and rivers. Amon gently put Schrödinger in his leather pocket. The empty space was just enough to hold it. He had an open mouth and would not keep the cat stuffed.
"Ammon, I have the last words. Please remember and do what I said. Don't rush to find Bell's whereabouts. Go east from here, no matter how difficult it is, don't look back. In three days, you look around, then climb the highest mountain to the heights of your eyes, and go all the way to the higher ground.
When the third layer of cloud is also at your feet, find a place to practice the magic technique. The most important thing is the magic technique of the water element and the magic technique of the Qi element. You can use the help of the blue water heart and the charm dance of the wind to embed them into the staff and then embed them into two other standard magic stones together.
You have already mastered the low-level water element magic technique very skilled. With the charm of the wind, it is not difficult to learn the Qi element magic technique, but ordinary magicians often only care about the magic of power, but forget how insignificant the power of their own magic is compared with the elemental power in nature.
So when you practice these two magical techniques, don’t pursue how advanced they are. You should also pay attention to how to fight against and use and protect yourself in the face of natural elements. If you can control a drop of water, you must learn how to prevent this drop of water from being dispersed in the river. Learn these, and you will be an excellent magician, and the diode art will also reach its peak.
Regardless of whether you have done this or not, don’t leave the top of the mountain for the time being, pay attention to the clouds in the west. When the clouds are dense, find a place to hide and do not let the sky thunder hit the high places. Wait for the reunion to dissipate, the thunder will no longer sound, and you will take Schrödinger to find Bell’s whereabouts.
These are things you must remember!”
The old madman's last words seemed to come from mid-air. Amon looked up in shock and then saw that the old madman had already flew away in a floating manner, and his body rubbed against the treetops like a huge strange bird. When he disappeared, there was still a voice floating from nowhere: "Amon, if you can't find Bell, slaughter the cat and eat it, everything depends on yourself."
...
The lonely Amon walked alone in the mountains and ridges, heading eastward, and there was no road under his feet. He tried to pick a place to walk as much as possible. He held the heavy iron branch staff in his left hand and pulled out the knife that the mayor gave him to thorns with his right hand. Such a terrain could not go too fast, the mountains became more and more steep, the landform became more and more complex, and the gullies cut between the tall peaks became deeper and deeper.
If he had not had the physical strength and quick reaction of others, he would not have been able to walk far away here. The vague paths could occasionally be seen in the lush jungle, which should have been stepped on by the savage man in the cave. Amon didn't know how capable he was, so he didn't want to have conflicts and tried to avoid them as carefully as possible.
He soon understood why the old madman taught him the magic of water element. People could not eat for several days, but they could hardly drink water for a day. In the evening, Amon found a dry rock crack in the mountains to prepare for rest. It was impossible to take such a mountain road after it became dark. He cleaned up the surroundings, lit a bonfire to prepare some food, and then he remembered that there was no water and he did not bring a kettle.
The water seemed to be not far away. From this hillside, there was a faint sound of flowing water in the deep mountain stream, but there was no way to pass. Amon couldn't fly, so he naturally could not fall into the deep mountain stream under the cliff to get water. Moreover, the air flow over the deep stream was very complicated, and even birds dared not fly around. Fortunately, he could summon water elements and condense the water in the environment for his own drinking, which was both convenient and clean.
He wanted to take out a small pot and special beef floss he brought in his backpack. When he opened the backpack, he heard Schrödinger burping and crawled out lazily with a fragrant wine. Amon did not bring water but brought a bottle of wine. His father specially gave it to him. The merchants transported it to Duke Town were basically good wine, and the most common ones also needed a bottle of silver coins, while his father usually bought it in terms of barrels.
But this bottle of wine is worth fifteen silver coins, which is the best wine in the Amon family. In fact, no matter where it is in the mainland, it is also a fine wine. Amon found that the stopper of the wine bottle had been opened at some point, and Schrödinger drank no drop of the wine. It was really luxurious to bring this cat!
Schrödinger was lazy and ashamed at all. Didn't he know that he had drunk all the fine wine worth fifteen silver coins in one breath? Amon couldn't argue with a cat, and used his magic technique to condense a pot of pure water out of thin air and put the old madman's special beef floss in it. The beef melted in boiling water, with an attractive and strong aroma, just like fresh beef soup, even the taste was well-mixed.
Amon took out a spoon and scooped out the beef soup, gently blew the cold and drank it. It was so fragrant! Only then did he feel that although he had been walking for a day, he was indeed hungry. After taking a few sips, he suddenly saw Schrödinger walking over, sitting opposite the fire, raising his front paw and pointing to the bushes on the left.
Amon immediately sensed movements there, but Schrödinger obviously discovered the abnormality earlier than him. Maybe this is the instinct of a wild beast, but this cat doesn't look like a "wild" beast, but his sensing of the environment is so sensitive that even Amon can't compare to it.
Amon has always been very calm. Although he is a little panicked and afraid, he just waved the "branch" lightly. A fine fog suddenly rose, and the ice crystals condensed into bones flew into the bushes. Then he heard some sound rolling over several bushes and flew away quickly.
Amon only saw a long tail among the bushes. It was a black-bellied python in the jungle. Perhaps the crack of the rock was where it lived, or it might be attracted by beef soup and bonfires. The python was most afraid of the cold, which would make its body stiff and its movements slow, and was scared away by a piece of bone-burning ice crystal that Amon casually sacrificed.
His staff was inlaid with the blue water heart, so Amon used his magic technique so easily. He was also shocked and said to Schrödinger with lingering fear: "Thank you for reminding me!"
The scene looked a bit funny. A fat cat sat there in a big shape, and a person on the opposite side was talking to it seriously. Amon had been silent for too long, and no one could talk to him at all. I don’t know if Schrödinger understood it, so he pointed his paw forward, with his expression seemingly arrogant and reserved, and he clearly pointed to the beef soup.
Looking at the cat's expression, if it could speak, it was clearly saying in an orderly tone: "Hey, boy! Give me a bowl."
Amon almost made it amused, and he didn't feel as scared as before. Although he knew Schrödinger was a magical cat, it was too funny to do this. He couldn't help but want to laugh, and waved the spoon in his hand and said, "I only have a spoon. I'll have to wait for me to eat, and I'll even give you the pot."
Schrödinger's tail suddenly stood up and took a slap on the ground. He seemed very dissatisfied. He twisted his body and left. He slowly walked to his backpack and lay down, gasping with his eyes open, and did not sleep.
Amon was very honest. He only ate half of the beef soup by himself. When the remaining half pot was almost dried, he brought it to Schrödinger and whispered: "Cat, you are hungry, eat quickly!"
As a result, Schrödinger turned his head and closed his eyes, looking like he didn't even want to see it. Seeing that the cat was not eaten and he was not too full, this half pot of beef soup could not be wasted, so he ate it himself. After eating, he waved his staff, and a transparent mist swept across it, which turned into a turbid mist and flew out, and the pot was clean.
Schrödinger opened his eyes and glanced at him, as if he was a little surprised and a bit ridiculous. If another magician saw Amon performing such exquisite water element magic, he would be shocked and even vomiting blood just to wash the pot. This is the work done by humble servants. How could a noble magician do it with sacred magic?
Besides, the power of magic is not used in this way. In this steep environment, it is wasted on such boring things!
Schrödinger didn't eat it, and Amon had no choice. He found a dry soft grass to lay it on the ground, sat down with the iron branches in his hand, closed his eyes and began to meditate on the old madman's magical technique of Qi element taught him. He had just meditated completely in his heart with the simplest air element summoning formula. Before he could try it, he heard a meow with anger.
This is Schrödinger's voice. This cat that has not been screaming for thirty years has actually screamed today. The sound sounds a little like a roar. Amon, who is practicing magic, was interrupted by meditation. He turned his head to look over and found Schrödinger lying on the ground, with his head on his two front paws turning his head to stare at him. Schrödinger's eyes were strange, reminding Amon of the way the mayor stood in front of the temple and stared at all the townsmen.
What did Schrödinger want to do? He clearly wanted to eat something just now, but Amon handed it in front of him and refused to eat it. When Amon finished eating all the beef soup, he was unhappy again. Anyway, there was nothing else, Amon sat there thinking about the cat, and suddenly remembered an unforgettable experience.
During the three days he was a servant to Mary, the food he ate was the best in his life. However, after Mary finished eating, she said, "Amon, I'll give you all this." Then Amon took the dining table downstairs to the kitchen to eat. Anyway, there were a lot of things for Mary, and she could only finish half of them at most. Moreover, Mary also had a habit of having two plates of food in each meal without moving, just like she had deliberately left it for Amon.
Thinking of Maria, Amon looked at Schrödinger again and thought to himself: Maria seemed to have left me two plates of complete food, knowing that I would eat her leftovers, but if the situation turned upside down, she would certainly not be able to eat my leftovers, nor could she eat with me. Does this cat think that his identity is noble?
After thinking for a long time, Amon finally sighed and decided not to argue with the cat. The old madman said that it might be the only guide to take him to find Bell's whereabouts. Moreover, during this long lonely journey, Schrödinger was also his only companion. Let's try this cat first.
Amon is very smart, he guessed it right!
He also specially cooked a pot of fragrant beef soup, brought it to Schrödinger's eyes and put it in place, then sat down and began to meditate in concentration, and started to communicate with the air that spread around him, trying to summon and control the elements of the air. The first step was that he needed a gust of wind.
His staff was inlaid with the blue water heart and the Feng Zhiwu, and there were two standard divine stones. They were very easy to use. Soon, a gust of wind was summoned and spiraled up in front of him. Then he controlled the breeze to blow the flames of the bonfire into various shapes, treating it as a fun game.
After playing for a long time, he remembered the next step of the Qi Elemental Divine Art. With a wave of the staff, a transparent wind blade condensed in the air, and a shallow mark was drawn on the ashes of the fire. At this time, he felt a little tired, so he decided to rest and add enough firewood to the bonfire. When he looked back, Schrödinger had finished the pot of beef soup, and was sleeping heavily, revealing half of his head.
