034, The Wrath of Horus (Part 1)
Amon did not explain where he went yesterday, and he couldn't tell Link clearly, and some secrets were not necessary. He asked Link if there were any iron ore-rich areas near him, and maybe he could find swamps and pools that would allow the iron-armored beast to live in.
Link thought for a while and replied, "There is really such a place where there is a pool in the dense forest under the rocks that produce iron ore in the southeast of the village, which is not far from the road leading to the mountain. Do you want to keep these iron-armored beasts next to the village?"
Amon smiled and said, "Why, are you scared? In fact, iron-armored beasts do not eat humans. They are omnivorous animals, eating aquatic plants and fish and shrimps in the mud, and occasionally prey on small animals. These iron-armored beasts are just a little bigger and fierce, but they are already very human. They are subdued by me and will naturally not hurt the tribesmen here anymore. If they are freed, they can also become protective beasts in the village.
As for you, you can't always be afraid of them. If you get familiar with them in the future, you may still be treated as an opponent for practice. They are very smart and know what you want to do. Practice well. When you become a third-level magician, I will give you a real staff and a weapon for combat."
When he heard this, Link, who was originally a little worried, suddenly started to look up and couldn't close his mouth. He nodded repeatedly and said, "God Amon, thank you for your gift. How can I accept this? I wonder what I can do for you, your devout waiter?"
Amon waved his hand: "You have done a lot for me. If you need anything, I will tell you directly."
Link's eyes turned around and said tentatively, "God Amon, can I ask you something?"
Amon lowered his head and started eating meat, swallowed the barbecue in his mouth before saying, "If you have something to do, say it."
Link's tone was a little stuttering: "Can I... learn to write? You know that our tribe members are illiterate, and you said I'd better learn to write... but who can teach me?"
Amon replied without thinking: "Oh, you should learn writing, otherwise it will be difficult to learn some brilliant magic in the future. I will teach you when I have time. This is not easy, you have to learn it with your heart."
Link lit his head like a chicken pecking at him: "Of course, I will definitely work hard. Thank you for your gift!... No matter how difficult it is to write, it will never be more difficult than magical skills, right?"
Link was excited when he left, feeling that his steps were light and as if he was about to fly. Finally, a stone was put down in his heart. Yesterday morning, Amon asked about the road leading to the mountain, and he was worried that Amon would leave suddenly, and then Amon and his cat disappeared. Link once suspected that he had left without saying goodbye, and felt so sad.
I just asked Amon if he could teach him to write? On the one hand, he really wanted to learn, and on the other hand, he was also testing Amon's attention. Learning to write is not a matter of one or two days, at least it means that Amon will have to stay here for a long time. Amon also said that he would give him a real staff, and that must be until he becomes a third-level magician.
The excited Link forgot that Amon had only a branch and a leather pocket around him, and there was no staff at all, so where did he get it for him? But Link didn't think much about it. Amon was almost like a god in his mind, and it was possible to create any miracle. Even the five fierce iron-armored beasts were brought back like honest kittens.
...
Because the landslide cut off a tributary of the Youdi River, a landslide formed under the plateau. The road leading to the Syrian city-state was submerged, and Amon's retreat was cut off. Even if this road could be opened, Amon had no way out. Duke Town no longer existed, and he was exiled to go back.
Nowadays, Amon has two choices. One is to stay in the village to continue practicing physical skills and divine arts; the other is to walk down the mountain from another road to enter the Kingdom of Barron as his first stop to travel to the Tianshu Continent. He did not intend to stay in the village of the cave forever, but he was not in a hurry to travel far. Last night, he had already thought it through the cave that he would practice physical skills and pass the test of "purity of bloodlines" to become a level 4 intermediate warrior, and then continue to practice magic skills and advance to a level 4 magic art, and then leave.
During practice, high-level magic skills are not just about meditation. The perceptions in the world are also important experiences that magical magicians must be experienced by divine magicians, otherwise they will not be able to understand the mystery of magic skills at higher levels. If this were not the case, the old madman would not have traveled all over the mainland for a hundred years.
However, Bell's annotation clearly explains the test of "purity of bloodline" that Amon is about to face in the next step. It requires careful cultivation and careful understanding of the changes in the body. It is best to be in a quiet and undisturbed environment, so this cave-dwelling savage village is the most suitable place.
After Link left, Amon noticed Schrödinger again. The basin of barbecue had eaten up, and the cat was lying in the grass nest and slept soundly. Although it was very melancholy, it did not treat itself badly. Amon's skin pocket was placed next to the grass nest, containing the bone. If it were the same, Schrödinger would definitely put the bone into the grass nest and press it to sleep with his claws, but today it did not.
Schrödinger had not touched the leather pocket. The hole of the leather pocket had been lifted by the cat's claws, revealing a corner of the bone, but Schrödinger did not take it away. It seemed that the cat could not hold the bone either. This may indicate that Schrödinger did not possess magical power, and his previous guesses might be wrong.
Amon took the bones and took out the things collected in them one by one before studying them carefully. Since he promised to give Link a staff, he should choose them now. Without reading too much weapons, Amon was most interested in those scrolls, which were eight volumes in total, and they were of different sizes and lengths.
This was Amon's first time to come into contact with the magic scroll. Such a precious magic weapon could certainly not have been encountered by a blacksmith's son. It was difficult for him to figure out the usefulness of the scroll, because it would not be opened after writing this kind of thing. After using mana to stimulate development and open it, he would activate the magic weapon, which was a one-time consumption item.
If the writer of the scroll himself does not explain and falls into the hands of a person who does not understand such scroll, others may not know what kind of magic effect and power will be after the scroll is unfolded, and they will not be able to use it easily. Writing the scroll not only requires a huge amount of effort but may not be successful. No one wants the magic power he has accumulated to be used by others unless he voluntarily handed over to whom he will make it clear to the user.
Of course, the production of various scrolls has specific forms. People who are familiar with scrolls or who are very skilled in detecting magic can recognize many types of scrolls without explanation, but Amon does not have the ability to do that now.
Several of the scrolls he got may not have been made by the carrier himself. The marked text was written outside the scroll, and you can tell at a glance that it was used by the magician from Eju, because the ones written on it were all the magical texts written in Eju, which explained which magical arts were cast after the scroll was unfolded and what kind of power it had.
Amon was very lucky. Five of the eight scrolls were marked outside, which were different types of intermediate magic scrolls. This kind of thing is very useful at critical moments, meaning that it does not cost your mana to use the corresponding intermediate magic tricks. If Medanzo saw it, he would definitely calculate how much these magic scrolls were worth, and then he would not know what they would be surprised.
There is no mark on the other three scrolls, and Amon couldn't recognize what kind of scroll it was, so he naturally didn't dare to use it casually. He had to put it away for the time being, and then took out the three staffs he got today, hoping to test the effect of using the magic technique separately.
The staff is not heavy, and if it can be taken, Amon will bring it. This kind of thing is different from armor and weapons. After it is damaged together with the inlaid divine stone, its fragments are useless. There are only three complete staffs left in the cave.
The most special staff is made of yellow-brown wood as the handle, and the texture is very strong and durable. Thirty years later, there is still no sign of decay at all. The top of it is actually an earthly pupil. The precious special divine stone certainly shows the extraordinaryness of this staff. I don’t know what technique it was made. The earthly pupil is like growing naturally in the wood grain, with only a few sharp corners exposed.
Amon had just used his magic power to stimulate this divine stone. Before he could use his magical power to test the effects of various magical techniques, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "I am the person who is fortunate to come here and pick up my staff! No matter who you are, please listen to my last words. I am the main priest from the Cape Temple of the Eju Empire, the seventh-level master Nero.
I was ordered by the Eju Empire to chase and kill Bell and the betrayed Saint. I don’t believe that Cong Ni would betray the goddess. Bell also has kindness to me, but I have to execute the imperial orders. This is also an oracle! I heard the voice of Horus in the temple and ordered me to find these two people and kill them. It is truly Horus, the god I have believed in for my whole life.
Bell is a destroyer. He angered the gods and will destroy himself. I will fight him and face destruction, because I know his strength. There was a rift in my mind. Why didn’t Horus, who is omnipotent, personally surrender to Bell, but sent down the oracle to let me go? Because of this hesitation, I left this message..."
The Earth Eye can be used as a carrier of information magic. The old madman left a lot of information in the Earth Eye that Amon. The owner of this staff was also proficient in information magic magic and left a last word in the Earth Eye, but Amon accidentally read it.
This man claimed to be the main priest of the Cape Temple. It should have happened thirty years ago. He was one of the great magicians who were ordered to hunt down Bell. It seems that Bell caused a lot of trouble. Even Horus, the king of Aju, was alarmed and actually brought down an oracle to the great magician.
