030, but I can't hate you

Amon was crying for the old madman, for his father, and for Duke. He had known the news of the disaster and was confirmed in the information retained by the Earth's Eyes. Nietzsche was dead, his father died, and Mayor Dusty was also dead. No one survived the flood in Duke!

When he heard the rolling thunder and saw the dark clouds hanging in the east, Amon knew that it was raining heavily there. In his short fourteen years of life, he had never seen the summer rain in Duke Town, nor had he seen the heavy rain for so many days in a row. As the thunder became louder and louder, and the clouds were rolling and thicker, Amon also realized what would happen.

It was too late to go back to Duke Town to do anything, because it was raining at the lower part of the plateau, and mountain torrents filled the valley, and the rapids hit the dangerous vortex, and there was no road. No wonder the old madman asked him to go to a higher place.

Amon stood on the high slope and looked into the distance. The lower part was invisible except for the thick clouds and the raging lightning. It was the direction of Duke Town, and tears were always in his eyes. The old madman once said that the next message in the earth's pupils would appear after the disaster came, but Amon could not "read".

Two days after the thunder sounded, Amon vaguely heard a particularly shocking thunder, and his heart felt like he was being twitched inexplicably. Suddenly, he sensed that the earth's pupil in his arms seemed to be summoning him. He immediately returned to the village and entered the quietest cave, instructing everyone not to disturb him, and then took out the earth's pupil. He tried to activate the information in it again with the power of meditation, and then he heard and saw the old madman's message.

The old madman's hair and beard are still messy, like standing in front of him and talking-

"Child, when you saw the content left by this information magic, I just said goodbye to this life. You heard it right, I am dead, and your father is no longer there. I died from the wrath of the gods, because I want to fly to the sky to see the true appearance of the gods and send out the strongest blow in my life. I have wanted to unravel the secrets of the gods all my life, but I have never seen the gods, so I will naturally not give up this last chance.

Don’t ask me why, I can tell you clearly that I’ve been tired of living! You can also think that I’m really crazy. I’m already 150 years old this year. The magical technique has made me very powerful, as if full of power, but these are meaningless to me. I know you have questions in your heart and can explain them to you now.

Do you want to ask me why I am not waiting for you to unlock the secrets of the gods, and may even make me a god myself? In fact, I have not had enough time. Even if I can live until that day, it is impossible for me. I took the wrong path from the first step, and Bell has told me all this.

You awaken the power of one body and two sides, and after passing the test of desire of one body and two sides, becoming a first-level magician and warrior, you pass the test of physical purity and become a second-level magician and warrior. These are all things I have seen with my own eyes, but you don’t know that I can no longer repeat this path, maybe you find it incredible.

I haven't exercised physically for many years, and my lifespan is far beyond ordinary people. I still look strong, but the power in my bloodline has gradually faded. I have suffered countless injuries over the past hundred years, and I have had illnesses that ordinary people can't imagine. If I start over again, even the test of purity of my body will not be able to pass. Do you think it's ridiculous? A level 8 magician is actually worse than you!

If you take the wrong path from the beginning, the further you go, the higher your achievements, the harder it may be. So this is what I want to remind you, and it is also the reason why I asked you to find Bell's whereabouts. As far as I know, Bell may have found all the correct paths before becoming a high-level magician and a high-level warrior. As for what he has not proved, it can only be up to you.

You may ask me how I predicted this disaster, just treat it as an eternal secret. I have told you everything, and this is the ultimate reservation. As for Duke Town, its destruction may be worthy of it, and people are responsible for it. I am one of them. My death is the price to be paid for everyone."

After leaving a message, Amon also received a message, similar to the information that Grey saw in the temple, but more detailed, about the series of tragedies that occurred in Duke Town some time ago, including the origin of these tragedies. Amon couldn't help but shout in his heart: "Old madman, you know that disaster will come, why don't you save everyone? My father is dead, he is innocent!"

The old madman seemed to have expected Amon to have such questions, and the message left behind was laughing: "Amon, do you want to ask me why I didn't save your father? Why didn't I save everyone?... Child, I have saved you and guided a path to becoming a god. Are you not grateful to me but wanting to resent me?... I have experienced many such questions in my life, and I think the gods are even more so!"

Amon was speechless for a moment when he asked this, and then he burst into tears like a child. No, he should be said to be a child.

The old madman and his father ended their crazy and drunken lives, and buried them with the entire Duke Town. How could Amon not be sad? He had to face the suffering of separation from life and death at a young age. The demise of Duke Town means that he has no hometown and relatives anymore. Amon feels abandoned by the whole world.

Amon is not Gere. He did not see Nietzsche rushing into the sky with his own eyes, nor did he know how this flood happened? He only knew that the old madman had prophesy. Amon couldn't understand some of the old madman's words, such as he claimed to die from the anger of the gods. Why did he rush into the sky to send the strongest blow to the gods? Which god is he facing? The old madman did not explain to Amon.

Perhaps for Amon, the explanation was useless. He had not reached the point where he could understand all this. The ignorant young man had no time to figure it out in his grief. Amon was surrounded by huge sorrow and could no longer concentrate his mind and maintain a focused meditation state. The process of reading divine arts information was interrupted.

When he was tired of crying after he had cried enough, he wiped his tears. He remembered that the message left by the old madman had not finished reading it just now, so he tried his best to calm down and rekindle the earth's eyes, but there was a little accident.

The old madman is not an omniscient and omnipotent god. He did not expect that when the disaster came, Amon had already passed the test of "firmity of faith" and became a third-level magician. Amon interrupted the previous message when he read the previous message, and then used the Earth's Eye to naturally stimulate the next divine message. So the old madman's previous message disappeared. I don't know how many words Amon had not heard.

Next, Amon reads various intermediate magic secrets, not all, but the part that can be learned from the third level achievement. When seeing these contents, Amon had to temporarily not think about anything and concentrate on accepting the information, because these information will only appear once and disappear. Only by passing the test of "firm belief" and being able to enter a state of concentration where the soul is stable and not disturbed by distracting thoughts can we remember so many complex and profound content at once.

The magical arts that level 3 magicians are good at are different, and the abilities of using various magical arts are quite different, but the achievement standards achieved by basic meditation are the same.

At the end of this message, the old madman left another message—

"Child, when you read these, you have already achieved the third level of achievement. I don't know if you have found Bell's whereabouts. Everything you will have to do with yourself. You have nothing to do with nothing, and the entire Tianshu Continent is waiting for you to explore.

I handed my token to you, the sign with the insignia. I have not told you yet, and I have handed it to Bell. It was the sign that Ball sealed the information and was brought to me by Schrödinger. It was also the token of Bell.

I have traveled all over the mainland for a hundred years. Many people have received my favor and vowed to repay me or my descendants. Bell was once a veteran of the Divine Arts Council of the Eju Empire, and has guided many nobles and priests to practice divine arts. Some people have also vowed to thank and repay him.

When you encounter difficulties in traveling on the mainland, you may be able to ask them for help. This is my last gift. But so many years have passed, and people still remember the vows of that year, remember whether they will really obey them. It is hard to assert that people are unpredictable. You must be careful to protect yourself. The identity of a little magician is dangerous in the Tianshu continent, and the test of dealing with people may be more difficult than the test of divine arts.

At the end of this message, a series of names or family introductions appeared, and the first person was Gere, the chief priest of the Syrian Temple. The old madman specifically told Amon that if he became a great magician in the future, he would definitely go to Gere. The message also introduced the Medanzo family and explained the background of that year. However, the old madman did not know that Amon had met Medanzo and also taught him divine skills.

...

At dusk, Ameng walked out of the cave, his eyes were still red and slightly swollen, and his expression was deeply tired. At such a young age, he inexplicably gave people a feeling of vicissitudes of life, as if he had grown a lot in one day.

Amon has been silent these days, and today he cried loudly in the cave. The wild people living in the cave felt a little scared and inexplicably fearful and uneasy. Some people were even guessing that the heavy rain at the foot of the mountain was the tears of the spirit god? Seeing Amon walking out of the cave regularly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

What surprised Link was that Amon actually asked him for the first time that he wanted wine. Link immediately went to get the wine and put it in the exquisite copper bottle that Amon gave him to Amon's large thatched house.

Amon didn't know why he wanted to drink, maybe because he missed his drunkard father. However, he didn't want to drink any more without a few sips that night. He sat there in his hand with a bottle in his hand and pondered. The old madman said that the entire Tianshu Continent was waiting for him to go out, but Amon felt that he was homeless and had nowhere to go. The future was in chaos, and there was only one way in front of him.

If he did not want to be a "pseudo-god" forever in this cave-dwelling savage tribe, then he could only become a magician and unlock the secrets of the gods according to the old madman's wishes. Even if he could not find Bell's whereabouts, he could repeat everything Bell did back then. What do people always have to do in life in the world, and Amon could not think of other choices at this time.

He stood up and lamented, "Old madman, you knew what would happen. Did you arrange all this? You did it too ruthlessly, but I can't hate you!"

Since he didn't want to drink anymore, Amon never wasted things. This was an unconscious habit. He put most of the remaining bottle of wine into Schrödinger's grass nest. Schrödinger had just been squatting in the grass nest and watching him. Seeing Amon bringing the wine over, he turned over and pressed the bone and fell asleep, as if he was not interested in the wine from the cave-dwelling savage tribe.

Over the past few days, Amon has been serving the cat with delicious food and drinks. Before he knew it, Schrödinger became thinner and thinner, his figure became slender and beautiful, and his fur color was smooth and beautiful. He no longer looked like the fat and dirty lazy cat in Duke Town. The changes it had gradually become unobtrusive, but Amon looked at Schrödinger at this moment and suddenly realized that the cat had changed too much.

More than just one cat has changed? The entire Duke Town was completely wiped out by the flood, and Amon was no longer the teenager from a few months ago!

Schrödinger kept following Amon today and stared at him. Are he afraid that something might happen to him if he couldn't think of a meeting? Will he care about him? In any case, this cat is already Amon's only young companion in Duke Town, and will continue to accompany him. I don't know where the emotions came from, Amon reached out and held Schrödinger in his arms, stroked its back and said softly: "Duke Town is gone, everyone is gone, now only you and me are left."

Schrödinger was startled by Amon's sudden movement. It seemed reluctant to be held and touched by Amon like this. His sharp claws stretched out from the flesh pad at the tip of his toes. He raised his claws to grab Amon's arm, but he didn't really scratch his hands when he heard his words, but he just twisted and turned and looked very unhappy.

Seeing that the cat was very uncomfortable being hugged by him, Amon sighed and put it down again, and then sat in the room to practice magical meditation. Only when the body and mind were calm and undisturbed, could he temporarily forget the sorrow in the world.

Amon can already practice some intermediate-level magical arts. In addition to elemental magical arts, what he has always been most interested in is the space magical arts and information magical arts, which are all related to the special divine stones left by the old madman. However, a third-level magical arts cannot practice these two kinds of magical arts, so he practices detection magical arts tonight.

The basis of these two divine techniques is the detection divine technique, especially the information divine technique. It is itself a branch of the detection divine technique to the advanced level. Amon had already had some understanding of the detection divine technique before, and it was easy to start the most basic "puppet eye sensing".

No need to look or listen, everything around the darkness was so clearly sensed. However, Amon suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, interrupting the magic art he had just mastered. "Puzzle Eye Sensing" was much clearer than what he saw and heard, which was a common sense for any magician.
