076, how are you doing?

076, Are you doing well

Gabriel only asked half of his words, and there were still many doubts in his heart that he had not solved it. However, he felt that the letter was very important, so he hurried back to the temple in the town to report to Maria. She was not worried that Amon would run away. With his current situation, he could not go anywhere, not to mention that the yard had been closely monitored.

In Maria's bedroom, the Saint opened the envelope in front of Gabriel. As she looked, her expression became more and more serious. Her fair face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and she didn't speak for a long time. Gabriel asked uneasily: "Sir, your face is wrong. What exactly is written in the letter?"

Maria handed over the letter and said, "You can read it yourself, please stay calm and don't be impulsive."

Gabriel looked at the letter and couldn't help but his anger surged. One hand subconsciously held the hilt of the sword and gritted his teeth and cursed hatefully: "What a despicable person, he will be rejected by the gods! I want to transfer me from the Temple of Isis, but I just love that ridiculous position. Saint, your original decision was completely wise. The Temple of Isis does not need a high priest like Julian, and he should be the one who will never come back!"

Maria comforted, "You and I have long known what kind of person Julian is, what is thinking in his heart. Amon's appearance is like the guidance of the gods. With him and this letter, Julian will of course not be able to return to the Temple of Isis. Vitru is dead, thanks to the gods, Amon is still alive! As long as the content of this letter is copied down and someone is sent to Julian, he will naturally not be able to disobey the next order of the Temple of Isis."

Gabriel nodded and said, "Copy this letter with the divine art of information, send someone to the High Priest Burke and tell him that this is the letter Julian wrote to him. I think the High Priest Burke can no longer say anything to Julian, nor can you stop you from reappointing a high priest with a stronger and more pious heart of faith."

Maria: "Okay, just decide this way, you do it yourself. Amon is very important, and he cannot be hurt again."

Gabriel glanced at the Holy Maiden and asked in a tentative tone: "What you mean is to forgive Amon? A civilian from a foreign country killed the high priest of the Temple of Isis, but would not be pursued, and no one would even mention this matter again?"

Maria raised her eyes and looked directly at Gabriel, and asked calmly: "Isn't this supposed to be like this? Amon is innocent. He did not hurt anyone. On the contrary, his noble and selfless character symbolizes the inspiration of the gods. He gave the tears of the gods at the beginning, and was favored by Goddess Isis. He obtained Nero's staff but did not take it for himself and sent it back to the cape city-state. You should be very clear about what this letter means, but he still trusted me and handed it out directly. Does such a person have a reason to hurt him?"

Gabriel couldn't help but lower his head: "Sir Saint, you are right, of course I understand these. But I have seen too many noble people doing shameful things, such as Lord Julian. It is because I have witnessed too many evils in the world and the black tail under my gorgeous clothes that I have firmer faith and the glory of the guardian god... If it falls into the hands of other adults, Amon handing over this letter will bring danger to his life, and I am just worried about him."

Maria: "I thought so too, so I decided to protect Amon."

Gabriel: "I would like to ask more, sir, why do you think so too? Your status is different from mine. You should understand that what Amon knows involves the scandal of the Temple of Isis, which may bring shame to the gods or the temple."

Maria smiled faintly: "What shameful people can humiliate themselves. As the guardian saint of Goddess Isis, I protect the dignity and glory of the gods. Whether in the sun or in the dark, I will not do anything to shame the gods. This is the true faith."

Gabriel bowed and said, "You are indeed a saint, and your eyes symbolize the mercy of the goddess. I want to confess to you that I just suspected something in my heart. Does Amon know what is in this letter? I am still wondering what to do if he knows?"

Maria looked at the envelope on the table and said, "The envelope does not seem to be passive, and the content is written in the text of the God of Ecuis. He should not know what it is written in it. In fact, what can he do if he has read it? It is not his fault that the letter falls into his hands. The content of the letter is very important to us, and we should thank him!... Gabriel, you have not finished your words, I want to ask him personally."

Gabriel thought for a while: "You saved him, and he should thank you. I will arrange for him to have a chance to be summoned by the Holy Maiden, and it will be tomorrow morning. This is a small town, not the Temple of Isis, and everything is more convenient."

...

When the Saint was patrolling the Ronnie River, he rescued a faint passerby on the shore and ordered him to take him to the town. Early the next morning, the rescued person expressed his respect and gratitude to the Saint. The kind Saint summoned him, which was the supreme honor of this person.

Under the guidance of the servant, Amon waited outside the temple. After the Saint Maiden had finished her breakfast, she sent an order to summon her. The location was in the ritual hall of the Temple, which was also the place where the Saint Maiden handled official duties temporarily. The blankets were already laid on the ground, and Amon could not walk too close. He saluted the Saint Maiden on the blanket according to the prescribed etiquette. His knees and elbows were prostrated on the ground, and he lowered his head and kissed the ground.

The saint sat there, waved his hand and ordered him to stand up, and said with a calm expression: "I really didn't expect it would be you. The person who mined the tears of the gods in Duke Town met again by the Ronnie River. This is the guidance of the gods!... Come, give Mr. Amon a chair and ask him to sit down and talk."

The servants were all shocked. The civilians were not qualified to sit in front of the Saint, unless there was a reason to receive special gifts. It was this young man who mined the tears of the gods at the beginning. The Saint did not hide this matter and confessed that he had known Amon for a long time. Everyone looked at Amon with surprise.

After Amon sat down, he replied in a normal manner: "I was a miner back then. It was my duty to mine divine stones. It was the gods who gave the tears of the gods to the Saint with my hand. Today, it was the Saint who saved me, and I don't know how to express my gratitude!"

Maria: "I didn't expect it would be you."

Amon: "Yes, I didn't expect it to be you!"

If there is anything special about this summoning scene, it is that Amon always looks straight into the eyes of the Saint when he speaks, just like when he was in Duke Town. He looked at her and sighed silently, knowing that there is a huge difference in status between the two. The eyes staring at her may be the only thing he can do, and the feelings of the boy that once crept can only be buried deep in his heart.

Since Aiko could recognize him, he must still remember the "accidental" hug and caress that he almost kissed her. This was a past event that could never be told. Aiko did not vent his anger at him, and buried this common secret in his heart, otherwise Amon would not sit here for a long time. With a simple question and answer, the two people said almost the same thing, and only they themselves could understand it.

The saint waved his hand, and his posture was indescribable to describe elegance and nobleness. He smiled and said, "Mr. Amon, you not only mined and offered the tears of the gods, but I also heard another thing. Not long ago, you returned the staff of the priest of the cape city-state, and there were also a large number of precious relics. What a noble and selfless character. I saved you, it should be the call and guidance of the gods. You should thank Goddess Isis for looking at it."

Next, the Saint asked Amon about the relic of Nero. Since it might involve the secret past of a great magician, she ordered all the servants to retreat, leaving only Gabriel beside her.

Amon has already said that "experience" twice in the Cape Temple, and he was just repeating it again. Then he talked about his experience in the Cape City State. Maria asked: "You are a fifth-level intermediate warrior, but as far as I know Vitru is a sixth-level magician, and Julian's personal guards are all intermediate warriors. How could you kill them all?"

Amon's heart tightened. This fatal question could not be avoided after all. He could not repeat the complete battle process, which would reveal all the secrets.

However, Maria did not wait for him to answer, and then asked: "The patriarch of the Lington family did not thank you for your kindness, and also brought the magician and warrior to chase you. The two groups of people who were seeking money and killed appeared for the same purpose, but they could not expose themselves. I think it was because they fought hard and both sides were injured, so you had the chance to save your life. Is that true?"

God, is there any more perfect answer than this? Maria asked him if this was the case, but in fact she answered it for him. Amon had already thought about this explanation, so there was no need to worry about it anymore. He nodded quickly and said, "Saint Madam is wise and wise, that's it!"

Gabriel interrupted, "Can you try to recall and describe the appearance characteristics of everyone around Vitru's side in detail?"

Amon described the appearance characteristics of several warriors, the weapons they wore, etc. Gabriel turned around in surprise and said, "Sage, among them, Julian's nephew Shute, and his personal guard captain Havan. This Havan is quite amazing and has great hope of advancing to the great warrior. Unexpectedly, he died!"

Maria said with a regretful look: "Mr. Amon, I want to apologize to you on behalf of the Temple of Isis. This matter is likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes of the High Priest Julian. But all the people were dead and there was no conclusive evidence that he did it. And according to the Eju Decree, civilians cannot directly accuse a great master. All charges must be brought by another noble who knows the inside story and decided by the Supreme Priest's Court.

Since all the people present are dead, I am afraid there will be no nobles familiar with the inside story to make accusations on your behalf. Even if they are in the Supreme Court of Eju, Julian will not be dealt with. After it is made public, it will be very unfavorable to your situation. But please rest assured that I will not let this happen for nothing. Julian will definitely be expelled from the Temple of Isis because he has hurt the dignity of the gods."

Amon stood up and bowed deeply and said, "Sir, how can you apologize to me? I understand your words. You saved me and are also protecting me."

Maria waved her hand again: "Amon, you should sit and talk." Then she pointed to Gabriel and said: "You gave us a secret letter and admitted that it was from Vitru's body. You must know that a foreigner may bring his life to his life. Why do you trust Lord Gabriel and me so much?"

Amon seemed to be smiling bitterly: "When people live in the world, facing many unknown dangers, you don't know when and where it will appear. But you must believe in some people. If no one in this world is trustworthy, then what's the point of living in this world?"

Maria's peaceful expression finally moved slightly, and her cherry lips slightly opened and wanted to say something but didn't say anything. At this time, Gabriel asked again: "Amun, do you know the words?"

Isn't this nonsense? How could Amon understand Nero's last words if he was illiterate? Maria should be clearer. Amon probably knew not only the sword script but also the cursive script of Eju. Otherwise, how could he call the name "Aiko"?

Amon answered honestly: "Sir, I know how to read." But he did not explain which kind of text he knew.

Gabriel asked again: "Do you know the divine?"

Amon replied respectfully: "In my identity, I should not know the divine text, and no one will teach me."

Gabriel stopped asking, and Maria changed the subject and said, "Gabriel, can you go outside the door temporarily? I have something to ask Amon alone."

Gabriel was stunned for a moment, but immediately obeyed the order without saying a word, guarding the door with a sword. It seemed a bit inappropriate to leave an adult man and the Saint in a hall alone, but Gabriel knew that there would be no problem. She trusted Maria even more than she trusted herself.

What if Amon was an assassin? There is no need to worry about this. Not to mention that Amon is so weak that he can barely walk. Even if a great magician suddenly attacks, Maria is enough to resist with the saint staff and other magical objects in her hand.

When Maria and Amon were left in the hall, both of them were silent and didn't know what to say for a moment. The question just now did not mention the content of the secret letter, Amon did not ask what was written on it, and Maria did not ask whether Amon had read it. They both deliberately avoided this topic.

After a long time, Maria asked first: "Ammon, how do you know my name is Aiko? I heard you call me like this by the Ronnie River. Is it just a coincidence?"

How should I answer? Should I tell Mary that a great magician used information magic to record the handwriting she wrote? Amon finally lowered his head and no longer looked directly into her eyes. He slowly replied: "Sir, you wrote this name on a wall in Duke Town. Everything that happens in this world will always be traced. Whether people know it or not, it has happened. Please forgive me for calling you like this."

Maria was not angry, and looked down at her fingers and said, "Among, I can't call me that anymore in the future. I no longer use this name."

Amon raised his head again and said, "As for orders, Saint! Of course, I will not call you that again, but is it also a blasphemy to call you this name in my heart? Please forgive my rudeness, but this is the truth."

This is really bold and unrestrained. He actually said this in front of the Saint! Maria was stunned for a moment, not daring to look up at his eyes, and replied in a low voice: "When we look up at the gods, what we can see is the starry sky above our heads and the honest heart. Amon, the gods will not blame you, so how can I blame you?"

Amon sighed silently: "Thank you for your answer, Saint, someone has said something similar to me."

Maria raised her eyes: "Who?"

Amon: "His name is Aesop, and he is the slave of a merchant from Mengfeisi, who told me in the Cape Town."

Maria tweaves the fingers of her hands together, and sighs softly, "The nobleness of the soul will not be different because of identity... Amon, if you want to call me Aiko, you can call me that today, but if you leave this door, please remember what I just said."

Then the two of them were silent again, as if they didn't know what to say. After a while, Amon finally asked: "Aiko, are you doing well?"

Maria asked back, "Amun, you know that I am already the guardian saint of the Temple of Isis, why do you ask this?"

Amon lowered his eyes and looked at his toes and replied weakly: "Yes, I know that you are already a Saint. But I also know that the high priest who should be loyal and upright around you is not imagined. I think you have your difficulties, so I want to ask if you are happy?"

Maria smiled, as if the girl was smiling innocently back then: "I have said just now that when I look up at the gods, I see the stars in the sky and the honest heart. I am the guardian saint of Goddess Isis, and I protect the holy faith. There is sin and darkness in the world, which is a more firm reason for me. Under the protection of the inner light, I live a good life and should not be described as being happy or not. This is my glory and honor!"

Aiko didn't hide anything from Amon. His special ability could feel the true emotions in her heart. At this moment, Amon fully understood her words. He looked at her and thought that this saint would sooner or later become a great magician. The "fusion of faith" was a difficult test for others, but with her state of mind, it was just an inevitable process.

Amon already knew that Aiko had achieved the sixth level magical achievement, and it only took more than two years since she started practicing the magical arts. Amon's advancement speed has been quite amazing, but he has only achieved the fifth level magical achievement with both sides of the body. Although this kind of power is more difficult to cultivate, his start is much earlier than Maria. As early as a few years ago, the old madman laid various foundations for him.

If Maria had no superhuman talent, she would not have passed the selection of the saints in the Temple of Isis. When she became a saint, all the conditions she had were much more convenient than Amon. She would have any classics to read, and she would have any artifacts to use. Moreover, she also had a saint staff, and she would have a very smooth trial of any magic.
