081, Return to the truth

The Assyrian king shrugged: "I don't know what the reason is. I have to ask themselves. The most proud people on the mainland may not be able to bear this suspicion and questioning. Then there will be a fun time. Although Queen Semir did not put on her makeup to Enqidu, she pretended to be Enqidu's body. The bow and arrow she used were made of snake tendons and snake teeth. Everyone on the mainland knew that Enqidu and Gilgamesh had killed Hongbaba and obtained snake tendons and snake teeth. Meng Feisi's great magician would not be able to recognize such weapons."

Alpha said with lingering fear: "Obsecrating these two people is not a good thing, it must be kept strictly confidential."

Sinach snorted coldly: "It's just two people, and I may not be afraid of them! Even if the Kingdom of Barron wants to declare war on me, there are plateau barriers, Assyrian is easy to defend but difficult to attack, I still want to try the opportunity to establish achievements!... But you are right. This is the secret of the kingdom. Only you and I can know it and not disclose it to anyone."

The Prime Minister reached out and wiped his forehead quietly, whispering: "Your Majesty, I still think your decision is too risky. Next time, if you say hello in advance for something so important, can you plan it thoroughly?"

The king waved his hand and said, "Alpha, it's not that I don't trust you. You are the most loyal minister in the Assyrian kingdom. But there is absolutely no possibility of exposing the news when assassinating the saint in Mengfeisi City. If the other party is prepared, it will be difficult for the queen and the national guru to escape, so I didn't tell anyone."

Alpha sighed slightly: "Your Majesty's decision may be right. What will you do to summon the old minister to secretly trade in the evening? What can the old minister do for you and for the kingdom?"

The Kingdom of Sinach also sighed: "Master Prime Minister, you have a lot to do. The reorganized army is ready to cross the plateau at any time, establish city-states in new fertile soil, and expand the territory of the kingdom. I have a burning ambition, but the Assyrian plateau not only protects our territory, but also imprisons my ambitions. My kingdom has barren land and narrow territory. Although our soldiers are brave and good at fighting, they have been trapped outside the plateau.

A fertile land that is west of the Youdi River will appear, which is the opportunity for me to expand my territory and build my country for generations. I will be a king that has been admired by Assyrian subjects for generations. But the other three countries will not give up on their disputes. Only by provoking their disputes first will the Assyrian military and civilians have the opportunity to cross the plateau and occupy it first."

While talking, someone outside the hall whispered: "His Majesty the Queen is back, the National Master is asking for a visit!"

Before he finished speaking, a woman had already walked in. She was wearing a tight-fitting suit, her long black hair tied up and did not wear jewelry. She was Semir, the queen of the Assyrian kingdom. If Amon had been here, she would have been shocked, because she was the assassin who assassinated Mary in Mengfeisi, and she had never expected that she was a woman!

Semir's body is petite, and her tight and strong outfit makes her look more curved. However, such a beautiful body seems to contain a dynamic tension, as if it is a perfect combination of a gentle body and a strong temperament. Her facial features are soft and her eyes are dark brown, with a mysterious charm.

King Sinach stood up from his seat, opened his arms and greeted him, "My dear queen, come back so soon, everything goes well?"

Semir gave her husband a hug, then took a step back and nodded, "The assassination of the Saint was not successful, but it doesn't matter. Your Majesty's plan should be smooth. But the saint's calmness was beyond my imagination. She may be the youngest great magician on the mainland today." Then he turned sideways and nodded to Alpha and said, "It turns out that the Prime Minister is here too. I think the king must have something to discuss with you. I am tired, so go and rest first."

Alpha quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty Queen!"

Semir said to the king again: "The National Master is right outside the door. Please ask him for details." After saying that, she walked into the back hall. Her attitude was a little cold and she did not use respectful words when she spoke to the king.

When the queen left, the prime minister whispered to the king: "Your Majesty, the queen's face is not very good. It seems that she is angry. If you send her to such a faraway place to carry out dangerous assassination mission, the queen will definitely not be happy. You haven't met for many days, so she rushed back to Nineveh overnight. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow. Tonight, coax the queen and express consolation and concern."

Sinach's expression was a little embarrassed, and he coughed and said, "The queen is tired and needs a good rest. I am the king. I should put state affairs first. The National Master is still waiting outside. Please come in and discuss matters together."

There are differences in identities between the monarch and the ministers. Queen Semir can enter the inner hall, while Faust can only come in after being informed. The great magician is over fifty years old, but she looks like an old man in his seventies and eighties. Her curly hair is completely gray and her face is full of wrinkles. She is indeed very tired after rushing for three days and three nights. On the other hand, he looks like this, which is completely different from the ordinary great magicians who are pampered and elegant.

Faust was the chief veteran of the Assyrian Academy of Divine Arts. It is said that he was the most knowledgeable person in the entire kingdom. He was able to recite all the books in the Assyrian Academy of Divine Arts and the Assyrian main temple, and every page and every paragraph could be accurately repeated. His desire for knowledge exceeded that of everyone in the kingdom. His greatest hobby was to collect various classics. Any precious document that he had not read was in his hands. He would read it repeatedly and remember it in his heart before he could let go.

Faust once said himself: "Knowledge is pursuit, I want to find the power to change the world and life." He was called "Sage National Teacher" by people in Assyria. This was not an official position, but later, everyone, including the king, called him that. Being a national teacher has become a noble title exclusive to Faust.

The king gave Faust a seat and asked cordially: "Dear Master, I didn't expect that you would come back so quickly. How many flight scrolls did you use? There is no need to work so hard to travel, as long as you come back safely."

Faust smiled bitterly and said, "His Majesty the Queen just wants to return to the capital as soon as possible. Although I was driving the shadow shuttle, I still used all the flying scrolls."

Alpha said in surprise: "All? Then I have been flying for three days and three nights without stopping for a moment. No wonder I came back so quickly and you look so tired."

Faust: "It is really nothing to be able to establish achievements for the kingdom. I offer my plan to Your Majesty, and of course I should do it myself. The assassination of the Saint was not successful, but the purpose should be achieved. We are now ready and can act quietly when the disputes come together."

King Sinah: "I was discussing this matter with the Prime Minister just now. I want to cross the plateau and prepare for building a city-state. Now I have to start and not alarm others. A fertile land of thousands of miles will appear in the center of the mainland. Do the National Master think that several other countries will understand this matter?"

Faust sighed and said, "I have a premonition. Of course, there will be masters in other kingdoms. Even if they didn't react at that time, more than two years have passed, and a large area of ​​fertile soil has emerged from the water in the swamp. Everyone will realize what will happen. Moreover, we are thinking, will the gods not find out all this? They will definitely guide their people at that time."

Alpha continued: "I have studied the terrain there, and initially exposed a large fertile soil where the swamp can stop. It is near the foot of the Assyrian Plateau, and the other three sides are still surrounded by swamps. Climbing the plateau is an obstacle for us, but the swamp will block the large groups of people from the other three countries, so the Assyrian kingdom is still the most dominant in terms of geographical environment."

Faust took out his staff, and light and shadow appeared in the void. It was the terrain of the area around Duke Town. He pointed to the inland lake at the northernmost end of the desert and said: "The large group of people cannot enter the swamp area for the time being, but the lake is a good place to establish camps. The competition will take place in advance. Only when there is war between them will we have the opportunity to quietly enter the south of the Syrian Plateau and gain a foothold. As the fertile soil area exposed to the water expands, the territory we occupy will gradually expand until it extends to the entire territory, and then we can stand in an invincible place."

The king frowned and thought, and asked again: "The Eju Empire is the most ambitious and has the most powerful national strength. He had long wanted to cross the desert to make all kingdoms surrender, and what he wanted most was such a territory. This territory is within the Hati Kingdom. The war between the two countries will break out sooner or later. The assassination of the Saint Maiden was just an excuse to cause violence. According to Master National, when should it be?"

Faust pondered: "National war is not easy. The supply lines of both countries are very long. Even if you want to start a war, you have to make a lot of preparations. It takes at least a year or two to start a large-scale war... Prime Minister, can we prepare during this period?"

Alpha squinted his eyes and said, "It is not easy for a large group of people to cross the plateau with supplies. The giant battle formation is most suitable as a vanguard. The land area exposed to the swamp at the beginning will not be large, and it will be divided into many isolated islands. We unfold along the foot of the Assyrian Plateau and move forward slowly. As long as we are not disturbed by other interference, there is no problem in preparation."

...

Amon, who was far away in Mengfeisi City, probably unexpectedly, his future journey of leading his tribe back to his hometown would be full of obstacles. Princess Xiao Qian had already made a move and guided the giant tribe of the plateau to quietly enter the swamp to find an isolated island that was exposed to the water to establish a tribe. The Assyrian king had even greater ambitions. He wanted to occupy the entire fertile land of thousands of miles and open up new territory south of the Assyrian Plateau. In order to achieve this goal, and even further intensify the conflicts between countries, he sent people to assassinate the Saint.

Amon lived a very peaceful life during this period. He is now the captain of the guard. He is in charge of dozens of warriors and two slaves who specialize in taking care of daily life. Amon is not used to letting slaves do things around him. Usually, he just asked them to clean the yard. He only gave them money to buy anything when needed, which made life much more convenient.

The guard has routine exercises. When it comes to fighting skills, Amon is no worse than anyone else, but the cooperation between warriors, the combat formations between warriors and magicians, the use of various weapons, the role of various equipment on different occasions, etc. are all knowledge. Amon also learned a lot. His guard captain seems serious, but in comparison, he is the most generous person. He is like a child when he is happy.

As the captain of the guard, he has more opportunities to come into contact with the divine texts alone, which happens to be verified with the advanced divine arts to be practiced. It is not convenient to display divine arts in the Temple of Isis, so he can only practice the power rules of various divine arts in private.

However, some magical techniques need to be used to confirm the results of cultivation, so Amon sometimes walks out of the temple and spends a night outside before coming back. People think that the captain of the guard is going to relax, but in fact he is looking for a place where no one can confirm the effect of the high-level magical techniques. This trouble makes Amon himself feel inconvenient, and he starts to think about buying a mansion in Mengfeisi City.

Not to mention anything else, at least there must be a place to properly house Schrödinger. After the cat came to Eju, he did not live in the Temple of Isis with Amon.

The main god worshipped in the Temple of Isis is Goddess Isis, but there are almost all the gods in the Eju god system in each side temple, including the goddess Best, Osiris's waiter. The statue of Best is very distinctive, but the slim girl's body is a cat's head, and her long hair is scattered and looks like a lion.

Because the goddess Best is the image of a cat, cats are worshipped and loved animals in Eju. There are more realistic and traditional reasons why cats are loved by people. A long time ago, Eju was often infected with rats. Some people introduced domestic cats after domestication and became good helpers to guard the granary. They saved a lot of food for the Eju every year, and of course they would be grateful to people.

There are many cats living around the Temple of Isis, neither wild cats nor domestic cats. They lie lazily under the walls or in the squares all day long. Passing people like to feed cats, and the priests in the temple will also place cat food every day in fixed places, symbolizing sacrifices to the people of Goddess Best.

When Amon entered the Temple of Isis for the first time, Schrödinger jumped out of his skin's pocket and slipped away, and then smuggled into all kinds of cats in the square, and it was too late to chase after it. Schrödinger was very familiar with this place, just like returning home. No wonder it was "stolen" by Bell from Meng Feisi back then. The request he once made to Amon was - "Take me back to Eju".

Amon never knew what Schrödinger was thinking and what he was going to do? It was this cat who guided him, but he couldn't care where Schrödinger was going. Living in the Temple of Isis, it was inevitable that he could not see the cat. After all, when he was the loneliest in his life, a scary cat accompanied him and helped him through the difficult years. No matter whether Schrödinger wanted to use him or had any other purpose, Amon was grateful.

Amon couldn't see Schrödinger. Every time he went out alone, a cat would often jump out outside the temple and rub against his legs. When he looked closely, he saw Schrödinger. Amon was looking for a secluded place to try his magical skills. Schrödinger would follow him to watch, squatting there, holding his cheek with a claw and tilting his head, looking very interested.

Every time he saw Schrödinger, Amon would buy the best wine. Later, he developed a habit of buying good wine and bringing it with him. When his subordinates saw that the captain liked fine wine, they often gave it to him.

Amon didn't know where Schrödinger usually hangs around, but after returning to Aju, the cat grew and became more and more beautiful, and became more and more energetic. Its body was slim and agile, and the fur became smooth and bright. It was agile and quick when jumping and running. Amon had to do his best to keep up in the open areas of the wild, and obviously he had completely regained his vitality. If it weren't for looking at the patterns, Amon could hardly recognize the cat, but Schrödinger had one characteristic, that is, the detection magic could not sense it.

Schrödinger's behavior was still very arrogant. His eyes looked at Amon like a high-ranking king looking at his people, but he became much closer in his attitude. Every time he saw Amon, he was obviously happy, otherwise he would not have jumped out to rub his legs, which was unimaginable in the past.

In addition to looking for opportunities to go out from time to time and "suspended" with Schrödinger, Amon was also waiting for Mary's summoning, but the Saint was very busy during this period. He heard that he had left to the capital of Eju and had important matters with His Majesty Pharaoh, which may be related to the last assassination. A month later, the Saint returned to Meng Feisi, and the first person to look for Amon was Gabriel.

Gabriel called Amon alone to a samurai hall to speak. This place was the place where the great samurai usually handled official duties. The reliefs on the left and right walls were all images of great samurai who had been dynasties, depicting various battle scenes.

Gabriel asked him to sit down and said, "Among, the Saint Maiden has given me a long time to give me time to guide you in physical practice, but I was too busy some time ago, and I didn't have time to come to you until today."

Amon hurriedly said, "I know you are very busy. Some time ago, the Saint Maiden was about to break through the seventh level and was preparing for the Isis blessing ceremony. Another assassin incident occurred at the ceremony. My little thing about physical practice was even more troubled by Lord Gabriel."

Gabriel looked at him and suddenly asked, "Amon, how old are you this year?"

Amon replied embarrassedly: "I'm almost seventeen years old."

Gabriel exclaimed softly: "Extremely, at this age, your achievements have surpassed me. As long as you don't take the wrong path, you will definitely become a great warrior. The Saint is right. If I guess correctly, you have gained a breakthrough in the encounter by the Ronnie River. After coming to Mengfeisi, you have increased your strength in recovery and become a level 6 warrior."

Amon nodded and said, "Yes, you said nothing wrong."

Gabriel said again: "Everyone has a different experience, but some experiences are always similar. I thought that when I broke from a level 5 warrior to a level 6 warrior, I was also in a battle to carry out a mission. If it weren't for the presence of the great master Wald, I might have died, but after I came back, my strength increased beyond the limits of the past, just like I had experienced a new life."

Amon nodded repeatedly and said, "My feeling is similar, it is indeed a difficult experience. Now you are a great warrior. If you could give me some advice, I wonder what you would have experienced from level 6 to level 7?"

Gabriel smiled faintly: "No one can tell this clearly. I've actually forgotten it."

Amon said in surprise: "If you forget, can you forget this kind of thing?"
