036, please tempt me
After the flood, a black fire swamp will form to the west of the land, and it will be impossible to pass through the large groups of people. Hati's army can only enter the Syrian desert south and then turn to the northeast to reach there from the edge of the newly formed inland lake. To the north, it is still the Assyrian plateau blocked by mountains and ridges. If the Assyrian army wants to enter there, it needs to cross the plateau.
To the east is still the steep Youdi River Valley deep mountains and jungles, which is a natural barrier. After passing the inland lake, the area south of the area is still a desert. If the troops of Barron and Eju want to enter, they can only cross the desert from east to west and then north to reach.
This area has natural geographical barriers from all surrounding countries and has difficult expedition supply lines, so once a war is launched, its consumption and casualties are particularly large! If anyone takes the lead in occupying this place, establishes city-states and manors, and has military and economic supply bases, there will be obvious advantages. - Anyone with vision can see this.
Because of this, a great melee between the nations may be inevitable, and there will be no need to know how much blood, fire, smoke will be permeated on the fertile soil. The flood is Enriel's so-called gift. A new fertile land has appeared on the Tianshu continent. It could have become a prosperous and peaceful home for people, but Gere seems to have seen the arrival of another disaster, which is also the result of people's own choice.
Although Gelie could foresee, he could not stop him.
Gere even analyzed the strategic military situation. Originally, the Assyrian kingdom did not pose much threat to the Hati border, because their army wanted to cross the Assyrian plateau and launch a war was very expensive. But after the situation changed, it might be possible that enough benefits would make people willing to pay enough prices. Crossing the plateau is condescending. From a military perspective, Assyrian is the most favorable combat situation, but its national strength is relatively weak.
From the perspective of the war supply line, the Hati Kingdom is naturally the most favorable. After all, the fertile field where Duke Town is located is closest to the Syrian city-state. However, from the perspective of strength, the Eju Empire in the southwest is the most powerful. The national strength of Baron in the southeast is comparable to that of Hati, and the supply line is not very long. You only need to start from the lower reaches of the Youdi River and cross the Syrian desert.
The situations of all countries have advantages and disadvantages, as if no one is sure to gain an absolute advantage. For all this, Gelie can only analyze the situation based on experience, and cannot use great prophecy to draw conclusions. Even if the two kingdoms of Assyrian and Barron are not considered, war will surely break out between Hathi and Eju Empire in the foreseeable future!
The powerful Eju Empire made Hati surrender decades ago, but it was precisely because of its geographical location and the difficulty of large-scale and long-term wars that Eju could not incorporate the then Hati Kingdom into its territory. In order to weaken the conflicts and reach the most favorable rule, Eju Pharaoh allowed the Hati Kingdom to retain the original temple, but had to build the temple of Horus and pay the tribute from the vassal states.
Many people in the Hati Kingdom have been dissatisfied for a long time and are unwilling to accept this fate of surrender for decades. Some people have long accumulated strength in secret to wait for the opportunity to resist. The last time Governor Xiao Mo ambushed Rhode Dick's convoy in an attempt to seize the tears of the gods was nothing more than this.
For the Eju Empire, the reason why it was unable to annex Hati was the barrier between the ocean and the desert, and it was difficult to completely manage the area in the form of local governance. But now a vast fertile land that was uninhabited was different. Occupy there and immigration was not only an expansion of territory, but also an important strategic and economic base to deter countries.
Some of the senior leaders of the Aiju Empire also knew that the resistance forces of the Hati Kingdom were growing, and new changes suddenly appeared in geopolitical conditions. The best strategic choice was to start first, send an expeditionary force to occupy the fertile fields around Duke Town first, and extend the territory here.
It will take time to really see this series of analysis conclusions of Gelie. The geographical and climate change he used the great prophecy to speculate that it truly stabilizes and forms that fertile soil, it will take at least three or five years to wait. There will be no dispute in the current one or two years, and the area of Dukezhen is still a muddy unmanned swamp.
...
A month later, Gelie walked out of the secret room, looking even more tired than the last time the flood receded. However, he did not have time to rest. He called his students, Wallet, Raphael and Governor Xiao Mo, to the temple and had a long and private conversation. No one else knew what Gelie had said.
Then Gelie left the Syrian city-state and returned to the Hati Divine Arts Academy in the royal capital. He stayed behind closed doors for a year and didn't ask anything. In the past, Gelie often returned to the royal capital. He also had a title in the Divine Arts Academy, but he would return to the Syrian city-state to handle temple affairs every period of time. He also engaged in various divine art research and guidance work in the Divine Arts Academy.
But this time it was completely different. Gelie ignored anything about the Syrian temple and hardly appeared in public at Hati Theology Academy, claiming that he would study complex and profound magical techniques and thank guests behind closed doors. His prestige was unmatched in the Syrian city-state, but in the royal capital, it was inevitable that people would criticize Gelie. Many people impeached Gelie through various channels and criticized the great magician for being unfaithful to his duties.
Some people suggested that another magician take over Grey's position as the chief priest of the Syrian Temple, and simply let him serve as a veteran in the Academy of Divine Arts and specialize in studying divine arts. The chief genius of the Academy of Divine Arts once visited and persuaded Grey, but the result was unknown. King Lucier of Hati specially sent an envoy to question Grey, but the result was not clear.
He was always cautious in handling a great magician. Even the king did not express his opinion for any reason. After delaying for a long time, the Hati Priests Conference finally decided to discuss whether to remove Gelie from his position in the Syrian Temple. At this time, Gelie suddenly appeared in the Academy of Divine Arts again. People were surprised to learn that he was already a level 9 master!
All the doubts disappeared. It turned out that this great magician was really devoted to practicing magical arts and could not be disturbed by any outside world. He had already broken through to the highest level of level 9. So what little things are worth pondering? Those who originally wrote the letter to impeachment and criticism changed their attitudes and sent the most expensive gifts to Gelie. Gelie smiled without any mind and accepted them all. Everyone was relieved.
King Lucier of Hati specially hosted a banquet to entertain Grey to congratulate him. The elders of the Academy of Divine Arts and important palace ministers were also present. The king and his ministers had a very good conversation. After the banquet, the king summoned Grey alone and had a long private conversation. People were speculating that the king might want to leave Grey to the capital for a more important position, such as the high priest of the Lord Temple of Hati.
However, this speculation failed. The next day Gelie said goodbye to everyone, returned to the distant border Syrian city-state, and continued to serve as the main priest of the Syrian city-state.
Gelie practiced behind closed doors for a year without asking about the world, and became a level 9 master. The news soon spread to the Syrian city. When Gelie's carriage entered the west gate of Syrian city, people rushed to the streets outside the city to welcome him like a tide, just like welcoming the arrival of a god, Gelie's reputation here reached an unparalleled peak.
As expected, the Syrian city-state, which was cut off from the border transportation line, has been safe and peaceful this year, making people feel a little bored. Gorey's return to the city is naturally a thing worth celebrating, and people who have been idle for a long time are rarely lively.
Raphael is already a level 5 magician. This young man has very good qualifications, so it is not surprising to have such progress. Wallet is also a level 6 magician. It is extremely difficult to advance from level 6 to level 7. Most magicians will be blocked outside this threshold throughout their lives, otherwise the great magician would not have such a transcendent status.
Governor Xiao Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Over the past year, the entire city-state had lived a leisurely and peaceful life. Only the governor was secretly nervous, but no one knew what he was nervous about. It seemed that he hoped that Gelie would come back and take charge. This was somewhat strange. Because Gelie was not here, Xiao Mo was the most noble adult here, and controlled all the real power. Gelie did not come back and was more beneficial to his status.
...
On the same day that Gere returned to Syria with great grandeur, on the plateau of the Youdi River Valley in the distance, Amon quietly left the cave savage tribe and embarked on an unknown long journey alone. How could Amon leave at this time? The matter will start a few months ago-
Starting three months ago, Amon felt very stressed when practicing physical skills. Once the power in his bloodline exceeded a certain limit, it seemed as if a hill was pressing on his body, and the joints of his body were clattering, as if someone had used some kind of magic that restricted and hindered his movements.
Similar phenomena are encountered by all samurai before they advance to the middle level. They must have great perseverance and perseverance to continue to exercise before they can make breakthroughs. Some people can't stand it, and physical skills will naturally not be able to advance. Although some people insist on exercise, they will never be able to break through. Not everyone can become an intermediate samurai.
Amon knew very well that the test of "purity of bloodline" had arrived, and he finally practiced the third-level physical technique to the peak. He had previously experienced the test of "purity of body", which was to restore the body to its innate health without any hidden injuries. Now, with the exercise of physical technique, the physical constitution has also undergone acquired improvement to adapt to the growth of strength. This level will eliminate many people who have not made enough acquired hard work or have insufficient congenital physical constitution.
Amon has been used to suffering since he was a child. He started to learn the miners' skills of Duke Town at the age of twelve. It is definitely a hard work. He has to endure the torture of the biting cold spring every night, so he doesn't feel too uncomfortable. He has never stopped practicing physical skills.
He was just a little surprised. He quickly broke through the power from level one to level three. He thought that it would not take long to meet the next test, but he practiced hard for more than a year. In fact, this was already fast enough. He seemed to have forgotten that he was only fifteen years old, which was the period of youth development.
Theoretically, this is the golden age of an intermediate warrior. The physical development can be synchronized with the improvement of physical fitness, so that the best results can be achieved. But in fact, this is too difficult. For example, Medanzo, who has been practicing physical skills since childhood, has also advanced to level 4 in his early twenties.
Amon used to practice the power of one body and two sides. He broke through so quickly from level one to level three because his foundation was well established. However, from the low level to the middle level, this was a more difficult threshold, and his speed was already amazing.
It took Amon three months to get rid of the trouble of restraining power inside his body, and felt that his body was so light and comfortable. There seemed to be a force flowing in his bloodline, which could be activated as he pleased, and could be condensed and stimulated outside his body. If this power was strong enough, it could even fight against many magical techniques.
This means that Amon has become a level 4 intermediate warrior.
The test process was very long, but it was very sudden. One day when practicing physical skills, the entangled pressure in the body disappeared inexplicably. Amon felt a slight ease, just like life was regaining relief. He waved the staff as an iron rod, and the heavy staff seemed to be as light as a real branch. He moved the force in his body that seemed to be able to flow, and a faint light was emitted from the tip of the staff.
It was swung heavily like a hill, and then fell down gently like a feather. Amon was not proficient in many martial arts, and his technique was still the same as mined cores. The staff was pointed on a stone, and there was almost no sound. The hard rock then turned into countless pieces. Amon couldn't help but say inwardly: "If you control this kind of power to mine the divine stone, wouldn't it be much more convenient?"
He still lacks enough experience, and the analogies he can recall are those from the past.
On the night of the test, Amon sat quietly in the room and took out the earth's pupil. He did not rush to read the information inside, but waved his hand in the air, and another fire wall appeared around his body. This was the intermediate fire wall technique he had already mastered.
The fire wall was jumping around three feet away. Amon suddenly snapped his fingers a little mischievously. The shape of the fire wall changed and became a circle of fire fences that were still around. Amon pointed it with his hand and extended in the upper direction of the fire fence. The flames became a huge bird cage and held him in the middle.
Amon thought it was fun and laughed in the dark. This move was a space magic, and there was no saying that the space magic started with the intermediate level. The ability to use two intermediate level magic at the same time is already the basic standard for evaluating a level four magician in the temple, not to mention that Amon did not use a staff at all.
Amon, who played the magic game, was also very satisfied. He nodded secretly and put away the fire cage, which stimulated the earth's eyes. Sure enough, the message left by the old madman appeared in front of him again-
"Child, maybe I should congratulate you. When you read this divine message, you are already a level 4 magician. I don't know if you have found Bell's whereabouts. If you can't find it, now I have a suggestion that you might as well become a magician and usually cover up as a warrior.
There is not only one way to unlock the secrets of gods. You might as well refer to what Bell did back then. I think the new saint Mary in the Temple of Isis is very close to you. After you become a great magician, you might as well find an opportunity to communicate with her more in-depth. I am very optimistic about you, you can definitely be better than Bell."
The old madman's tone was joking, as if he was serious and joking, just like he was usually cynical. The following information showed some introductions of intermediate magical techniques, but not much content, because many intermediate magical techniques have been introduced before.
In addition to various intermediate magical techniques, new content has appeared in the information that has not been before, which is about how to make magical objects, such as making staff, writing scrolls, etc. The writing scrolls must be made with divine text, so the information also introduces the specific forms of divine text writing and how to interpret them.
The old madman's voice finally said: "I am not only a level 8 magician, but also one of the best craftsmen on this continent. Otherwise, I would not have made your staff. It was not completed in a few days. I have processed the iron embryo in your family many times over the years. It was not until you left that I finally made it into a staff and handed it to you.
Learning to make these magical artifacts may be very useful to you, but remember that these are a skill that uses external objects after all, not a cultivation of magical artifacts itself. You can use them at critical moments, but you cannot be addicted to this skill and deviate from the most fundamental direction.
There was once a great magician named Nero who broke through the seventh level in his early twenties and was known as a divine genius. But he was obsessed with making scrolls and became the best scroll-making master in all Eju. But he never broke through to the eighth level for more than 40 years after that, and disappeared when he was chasing Bell thirty years ago. I think he could have become a level nine magician, so you have to remember this lesson."
The old madman predicted the arrival of the disaster and arranged the path Amon had to take in the future, but he was not full-time and omnipotent after all. He was not sure whether Amon could find Bell's whereabouts. The information in the magical arts was already a backup reminder at this time. If Amon could not find Bell's whereabouts, then according to the guidance of the information in the earth's pupils, he could still become a great magician step by step like Bell's.
The old madman taught Amon's writing method at the most appropriate stage, but he was not sure that Amon had learned it in Bell's message. He also introduced Nero's deeds and reminded Amon to learn from his lesson, but he never expected Nero's relics to fall into Amon's hands. Amon only realized at this time that the owner of the staff and the ring was such a famous scroll maker.
Amon, who was still playing games just now, sighed sadly, put away his eyes from the earth, knelt on the ground, saluting towards Duke Town, far west, and kissing the soil with his lips. Although this is not the soil of Duke Town, it also belongs to the same land. He has decided to leave, and continue to practice level 4 divine arts and physical skills during his travels to meet the next test, and wait for the "devil's temptation" in the unknown world outside the mountains.
...
Link was sitting upright and meditating, and suddenly heard a voice in his mind: "Come to the big cave, please don't disturb the tribe, I'll wait for you there."
This was the sound of Amon calling with the divine information technique. He quickly got up, and habitually picked up the bone stick and ran out of the house. When he came to the cave, Amon was already waiting for him, standing behind the fire facing the stone wall.
Link asked quickly, "God Amon, what important thing is there for you to call me here in the middle of the night?"
Chapter completed!
