047, their respective contributions

At that time, the two brothers were still young and the awakening of their power was not successful. Then their grandfather passed away. Although the family did not lose their aristocratic status, they lost their titles and titles. Their status was similar to that of civilians from a good family, but they did not have to pay taxes from ordinary civilians.

Theoretically, these two brothers can practice divine arts, but after losing their titles, no priest in the temple would continue to teach them. If they awakened their power at the beginning, it would be OK to continue practicing. This is not illegal, but it is difficult to achieve higher achievements, not to mention that the awakening ceremony of the power was not successful.

Cain put his head in Abel's ear and whispered: "My brother, don't forget that our name has been registered in the ritual record of the city-state temple. If we learn divine arts, it is completely legal. If we have the opportunity to become a mid-level divine arts master, we can fully restore the title of ancestors, and our family status will be more glorious than before. We don't have to guard this farm and become a farmer and shepherd. Now there is a rare opportunity in front of us, and we can ask Amon to awaken our strength and teach our divine arts."

Abelbon had nothing to ask for Amon, but after talking for a long time, Cain finally moved his younger brother. For ordinary people, being able to master the magical power is as fascinated as an old madman trying to unlock the secrets of the gods. Whether it is Medanzo, who is not qualified to learn divine arts, or Link, the leader of the wild tribe in the deep mountains, he asked Amon to learn divine arts when he saw the opportunity, not to mention Abel and Cain were both declining nobles who were qualified but had nowhere to learn?

The two brothers discussed until midnight and decided to go to Amon to make a request the next morning and offer their own gifts. Amon heard what they said in the field and decided to agree to the request of the two brothers. The two brothers were qualified to learn magical skills, so doing this would not cause them any trouble, and it should be the best reward.

The next morning, Amon left the farmhouse and went for a walk in the ranch, and came to a place far away from everyone's eyes. Without his expectations, the two brothers followed with gifts. They knelt in front of Amon and said, "Great Lord, please accept our most pious offering. Although this gift is not precious, it is obtained by our own work with our hands, which represents our true heart."

Cain offered a bunch of golden ears of grain. He was a farmer, and sometimes he went to the fields to work in person, and the millet was planted by him. Abel slaughtered the first lamb born in his flock this year, marinated the mutton into jerky, and boiled the fat into ripe oil to offer it to Amon.

Amon looked at them and smiled, and paused the branch staff in his hand and said, "Your hospitality is the best gift. Since I promised to agree to your request, I will naturally keep my promise. I know your purpose is to let me hold a ritual of awakening power for you and teach divine arts, which is absolutely OK."

Cain exclaimed: "Before he opened his mouth, you saw our hearts. Are you the messenger of the gods? No, in my mind, you symbolize the god who gives power!" He was afraid that Amon would avoid being a magician, so he deliberately said such words. In fact, Amon had heard Link and Medanzo say the same words, but Cain's tone was not so honest.

Abel also prostrated and bowed: "Thank you, the noble Lord! I will always remember it in my heart. It is you who gave us life and magical power!"

Amon waved his hand and said, "Don't be anxious to thank you first. I promised to hold a ritual of awakening power for you, but whether it can be successful depends on you. Not everyone can learn magical skills through the test. Get up first! Tonight, at the foot of the mountain behind the farm, I will prepare for the ritual for you, but you must first agree to two conditions."

The two brothers nodded together and said, "What are the conditions? Lord benefactor, please just say it."

Amon thought for a while and said, "First, you can only practice in the way I teach you, don't go any other way, have firm beliefs, and regard it as the only source of power. Second, you cannot draw my appearance or make my statues, and show my face and name to others."

The reason why Amon proposed the first condition was very simple. What he wanted to try to awaken the power of one and two sides for the brothers was to teach them the path of cultivation they had confirmed. He also said to Link. As for the second condition, it is easy to understand. Amon himself is a magician, and his "deeds" on the ferry have been made public by the Uruk City State. Naturally, he would not hope that anyone would know his appearance and name.

The two brothers nodded immediately and agreed. Although Amon's first condition was special, they had no other place to study, so there was no need to consider other choices. When they returned, Amon took Abel's gift and said, "Thank you, I happened to use these things on the road, so I took them away." But he returned the wheat ears to Cain, because it was really not necessary when he was on the road again.

That night, when the moonlight illuminated the treetops in the forest, Abel and Cain came to the clearings in the forest at the foot of the mountain. Amon was already waiting there, with his branch-shaped staff in front of him. Amon didn't talk much nonsense. When he saw the two brothers coming, he waved his hands and said, "The awakening ceremony of power will start from now on. My stick is its source. This is the initial ritual. Don't think about what the power is awakened. It is both the power given by the gods and the power that sleeps in the bloodline.

While awakening power, it will also awaken desire. This desire comes from both the body and the mind. It is one side. You must learn how to face it without being influenced by it. Awakening power through rituals is only the first step. In fact, this test is not a moment. It will run through your life and even until eternal life. Pray to my cane, please examine your body and mind. It is not a known god who has given you strength. This kind of prayer may be difficult. I hope you can find that state of concentration and piety."

Amon now has a new understanding of the various tests in practicing divine arts. Whether it is "awakening of desire" or "firm belief", "the temptation of the devil" has two meanings. The first meaning means that when practicing divine arts, you will not be influenced by it, and you can continue to practice more sophisticated magic arts. The second meaning is relatively complex, and it does not pass the test in form. This test disappears. It will run through the entire belief of everyone, just as the temptation of the devil always exists, and desire always accompanys people's body and mind.

Amon lived in the farm for seven days, and with the magical cane to help the two brothers, the physical and mental states of strength appeared, and Amon was completely recovered. He stayed in the farm for a total of half a month, feeling that his energy and physical strength had reached the best state again, and even his strength was vaguely stronger than before.

He was a little surprised why he had spent so long. In fact, Amon didn't know that excessive use of mana exceeds the limit is very dangerous for magicians, and he would be in a weak and unable to protect himself. In the same situation, it would take two or three months for ordinary magicians to recover. He jumped around in just half a month. This speed was amazing, not only due to physical exercise, but also his usual practice method that was different from ordinary people.

Before leaving, Amon left a divine stone for the two brothers, with the purpose of letting them use this as an intermediary to stimulate their power and continue to awaken their power. Amon could not leave his cane here. The most difficult first step has been taken. The rest depends on the two brothers themselves. How to face the test of desire, they need to go through it.

The two divine stones were enough to compensate the brothers for their hospitality. Abel didn't want to accept it, saying that although he was not rich, he still had the divine stone collected by his ancestors. Amon persuaded him to leave the divine stone and told him that he would use divine stones when inlaid staff in the future, and the cost would be much more expensive than a divine stone. Amon was very considerate of the problem, and even thought that after these two brothers became magicians, they might not be able to afford decent staff, and taught them the skills of making staff.

Before becoming a mid-level magician, they did not have the ability to make a staff. But that doesn't matter. Amon's own habit is to practice magic power without using the staff when he is practicing magic power. Naturally, he asked his descendants to practice in this way. He awakened the power of both sides of the two brothers, and found that the two of them were different. Abel was better at mastering magic skills, while Cain's talent was more focused on physical skills.

The situation of the two brothers reminded Amon of Bell's annotation on the cultivation of the power of one body and two sides - "Anyone may have some emphasis on ability. These do not affect the cultivation of one body and two sides. If any ability is to be fully utilized, it may not be possible to consume a lifetime of energy. This path itself is so difficult, so it is reasonable to first meet the most basic requirements and then focus on it."

Amon left the two brothers with different levels of cultivation methods of level one to six, each with different emphasis. The most important purpose of his doing this is to confirm Bell's guess. Amon himself was somewhat different from what Bell pointed out. The old madman hoped that he would become an encyclopedia-style master of divine arts and explore the path that Bell had not yet completed, so he had to try various possibilities. Therefore, Bell's annotations can only be confirmed in the situation of the two brothers. Amon, whose mission is to unlock the secrets of the gods, cannot focus too much on a certain path.

The two brothers sent Amon a long way until they left the jurisdiction of the Uruk city state and came to the official road leading to Baron City. Although Amon was a magician, he did not instigate the two to offend or blaspheme any god. He only awakened their power and taught all the cultivation content before becoming a great magician, which would never be learned in any temple.

The gratitude in Abel and Cain's hearts can be imagined. When they said goodbye, they said to Amon: "You are our eternal benefactor, shining with the light of the gods!"

阿蒙赶着马车继续上路,在偌大的王国内也没人认识他是谁,阿蒙这一路没有遇到什么麻烦.他连续穿过了拉伽,尼普尔,基什等城邦,走的并不快,用了三个多月时间才到达王都巴伦城外.此时的阿蒙已经不是那个刚刚走出深山的愣小子,他的气质看上去成熟了许多,经历了那么多事,开始渐渐了解这个陌生而广袤的世界,在大陆中的游历果然是一笔财富.

He understood what the so-called "devil's temptation" was. He could advance through the test when practicing magic, but this test still exists at all times. He also understood and confirmed what he said to the two brothers. Amon was not stupid at all. His experience along the way allowed him to learn a lot of things and always paid attention to what the people around him think and seek.

Everything in his eyes is so novel. There are always new things in the sun. If you can't see it, it only means you don't have the heart to experience it. Amon walked away unhappily because he was waiting. Schrödinger once said that he would come back to find him, but the cat never showed up.

Amon missed Schrödinger a little, and he even wanted to go back to the town of Sumer to find it, where the cat left. Can it cross the Youdi River and catch up with Amon? But Amon still suppressed the idea and continued to set off for the King's capital. Let's talk about it when he sees Medanzo, anyway, he will go back sooner or later.

He had no other purpose in seeing Medanzo, but because he didn't know anyone on the continent when he first walked out of the mountains, he made Barron the first stop. By the way, he saw how Medanzo practiced with both sides of his body. Amon got the message that after Medanzo left, there were many things that didn't come to teach him.

If Medanzo's power has reached a bottleneck, but I don't know how to continue, Amon can continue to guide him. Amon wants to see Medanzo and has another idea. After all, Medanzo is a mid-level warrior who grew up in the capital. He systematically learned fighting skills that Amon was not familiar with, and these are also what Amon needs to learn from.

越接近巴伦城,阿蒙忍不住又想起了尹南娜,会不会在王都又遇见这位小茜公主呢?她此刻一定和未婚夫吉尔伽美什在一起,听说吉尔伽美什最近也要去王都,小茜公主会与他一道吗?如果她再以尹南娜的身份来找阿蒙,又该怎样相见呢?但这种可能性很小,尹南娜怎么能知道上哪里去找他,还是不想了吧.

When he arrived outside Barron, Amon encountered his first obstacle since he traveled to the mainland.

After all, Baron City is the capital of the kingdom. Although it is still closely guarded in peacetime. The guards guarded the gate are all samurai, and even the captains are at least intermediate samurai. There are three magicians in each gate, including at least one intermediate samurai. They do not show up in the city tower, but they can use magic to detect all suspicious people at any time.

阿蒙也曾想过在夜里悄悄翻城墙而入,但他及时的发现了城墙上有微弱的神术力量在波动,原来环绕着整座巴伦城布下了一座神术大阵,也只有王都才能有这样的手笔!歌烈曾经也在叙亚城邦临时布下过这样的大阵,而在天枢大路已知的城邦里,拥有永久性神术大阵守护的城池只有五座:埃居的底斯城,梦飞思城,哈梯王都哈图沙城,亚述王都尼微城,巴伦王都巴伦城.

The divine art formation here is much more complete than the divine art formation that Ge Lie once temporarily set up. After full force, it can attack or defend, and can make the city guards as solid as a sacrificial body. However, it is not fully activated in normal times, and only retains the detection function. If you want to detect abnormal situations in and out of the entire city, you have to consume several divine stones every day, and there is a great magician host. Only Wangdu has this strength and can send enough great magicians to take turns to perform this task.

Amon could not quietly pass through the detection of this great magic array without any alarm. He could only enter through the city gate during the day. He had a document issued by the Cape City-state of the Eju Empire. As long as he filled in his name, he could prove the citizenship of the Eju Empire. But this is the Kingdom of Barron. Amon did not have the procedures for entry, so holding such a document would make it easier to cause trouble.

When entering the kingdom of Barron, the people do not need to show all the supporting documents, but they have to undergo a check by the gatekeeper. Maybe they will check who they are. Amon doesn't want anything wrong with the things he carries. At least the bone cannot be picked up by ordinary people with their hands. If it is found out, it will definitely attract special attention.

Amon did not expect that he had relied on Gilgamesh's help this time. He heard about the news that Gilgamesh would come in three days with gifts presented to the great god Malduk and Princess Xiao Qian, and there would be a grand celebration at that time. The king ordered the people to go out of the city to welcome him, and followed Gilgamesh's convoy into the city to hold a grand parade. Amon could mix in the parade and enter the city, and there would be no guards to check it out.

Will he see Yin Nanna sitting in Gilgameshna's luxurious carriage, entering the palace with this hero amid the cheers of the people? - Amon thought in his heart.

...

But three days later, Amon did not see Yin Nanna. Gilgamesh's carriage was the same as before, without a carport or a large sunshade umbrella. Gilgamesh himself changed into a majestic and luxurious city lord's dress, accompanied by an extremely exquisite warrior sword, stood under the umbrella to accept the cheers of Wanmin, smiled and nodded from time to time, and waved to signal.

Gilgamesh's carriage was ranked second to enter the city. The first carriage did not have a carport. It was decorated with two altar-shaped decorations. It was placed on it. The trophy of Enqidu was drawn out after killing Hongbaba and the snake teeth extracted. These are the bones of the legendary gods! Gilgamesh exposed them to the sun, allowing the people in the city to see clearly!

Amon also saw it very clearly. The snake tendons were much larger than the one he got in the river. Each one was as thick as a thumb, and they were more than one foot wide together. The whole body was golden in the sunlight but the orchid was shining with the luster of orchids, just like the rippling waves of water flowing under the golden brilliance of the setting sun. Three plates of snake tendons were placed on each plate of snake tendons, and four snake teeth were placed on each plate of snake tendons, two long and two short, and the short one was more than two feet long, and the short one was more than two feet short. You can imagine how terrifying the snake kiss was!

There were snake tendons and skeletons of gods, Amon's baggage, so he was particularly interested. At the beginning, he was careful not to use the magical detection technique to find out, for fear that doing so would expose himself in the crowd. But when the convoy passed by the city gate, Amon sensed countless waves of magic power, which came in a mess from all directions.

Some came from the Kingdom Guards that welcomed Gilgamesh, some came from the city walls, and some came from the people who were welcomed by the road. Amon did not find anyone in the crowd next to the road dressed up as a magician. It seems that many magicians disguised themselves as outside the city today.

Who can't be curious about the skeletons of the gods in the legend? Even the great magic array that guards the city wall was deliberately activated. It must be the great magician who is presided over the divine art array. With the help of the powerful detection ability of the formation, he carefully studied and analyzed the snake teeth and snake tendons passing through the city gate.

Since Gilgamesh placed them on the first carriage, he entered the capital without any concealment, so that everyone could see it to prove that this matter was perfect and increase his reputation and prestige between himself and Enqidu. He looked to be extremely proud and frank and frank!

There were many women in the crowd. They were not interested in snake tendons and fangs. They just waved their turbans in various colors and screamed at Gilgamesh: "Dear Jill, great hero, I admire you... Look, he smiled at me, and nodded and waved. It was the great Jill who waved to me!" The girls who shouted like this looked happy and were about to faint, but Jill still waved to everyone with a humble and noble smile.

Amon is not like those idiotic girls. He also used the detection magic to carefully sense Hongbaba's snake tendons and teeth while he would not be discovered. Those fangs were different from the bones in his skin pocket. The detection magic could sense clearly, with a terrifying and terrifying aura on it. Just as Amon concentrated on sensing them, the roar of thousands of wild bisons sounded deep in his mind, with a huge impact and shock.

Amon had heard this sound the night when Enqidu killed Hombaba. If it weren't for his firm and profound thoughts, he would probably have interrupted the meditation state of the magical arts. He had already judged that these fangs could become the materials for making the best staff, or to create precious and rare magical artifacts. But they were different from Osiris's ribs. The bone in his pocket was either a real skeleton or had been magically processed.
