083, Land of Malduck

Lescott Lee was originally worried about the trouble or danger that Amon's identity as a magician would bring, but now it seems that the possibility is very small. Amon once acted side by side with Prince Fengniao, rescued Princess Xiao Qian in the Giant Tribe, and formed a relationship with the two most noble figures in the kingdom. Who would offend such a person for no reason? As long as Amon himself did not say it, no one would pursue whether he was a magician.

This boy is really amazing, he has caught up with all the big things!

Medanzo learned about Amon's recent situation in Siou, but he didn't expect that Amon's experience after breaking up with him would be so wonderful. In Medanzo's mind, Amon's status is a god, and it is not incredible to do something more magical. Since he knew where Amon was, he made a request to Siou, and as a bodyguard, he followed his caravan to dream about Feisi and look for Amon. Of course, Siou agreed.

Medanzo was a noble warrior in the capital of Barron. In order to see Amon willing to condescend to be Siou's bodyguard, Siou was a little flattered. After coming to Mengfeisi, Medanzo wanted to find an inn to stay, but how could the enthusiastic Siou let him go? He must stay at home and entertain him well.

While they were talking, they had already arrived at Siou's mansion. Siou heard the news and quickly came to the front hall. He saluted as soon as he met: "Mr. Amon, you haven't been here for a long time. Siou has been looking forward to your visit!"

Amon quickly stopped him and said, "No need to be polite. I have not changed anything in front of you, and don't call me lord. I am not a nobleman."

Siou said: "You are already the captain of the guard, the captain of the temple of Isis, and your status is much more noble than that of ordinary nobles!... You have not arrived at my house for three months, and Lord Medanzo is here, so you must have a few drinks today."

Amon was not easy to refuse, so he held a banquet at Siou's mansion that day. During the banquet, Siou was drunk and vented his dissatisfaction with Amon's identity. He held the wine glass and said, "You should have become an adult with your achievements. You seem to be the only one who became the captain of the temple guard as a civilian. I heard that the Saint Maiden was particularly caring for you, so why didn't you make such a request?"

Amon explained with a wry smile: "What I have done has been rewarded enough. As a civilian warrior, but was promoted to the captain of the archives, how can we make more excessive demands? And this demand violates the imperial decrees."

Siou muttered, "The imperial decrees are really strict. No matter how much money you have, it is difficult to become a noble."

The aristocratic status of the Eju Empire can only be obtained in two ways: one is hereditary, and the other is a special gift. The second method is very difficult. It is necessary to make great contributions to the empire, specially elected by the nobles above the city lord, and approved by the pharaoh. This kind of contribution is mainly military merits or achievements praised by the people. Amon just threw a shuttle gun at the ceremony. He was loyal to his duties and did not reach that level.

If anyone can become a great samurai, it is not difficult to obtain the status of a noble, but a civilian has too little hope of learning physical skills and having the achievements of a great samurai. Sio's dissatisfaction is also for himself. He is a very rich businessman, but being rich just cannot change the status of a civilian. He once said that if he can obtain the status of a noble samurai, he is even willing to take out half of his property, but unfortunately there is no such opportunity.

Amon and Medanzo heard Sio complain all night at the banquet, and they didn't have the chance to speak alone until night. Medanzo was already a fifth-level warrior and magician. He sighed to Amon: "The firmness of faith and the temptation of the devil may be difficult to face. When I recovered from the pain, my life seemed to have undergone a change, and my beliefs became clearer. I quickly passed these tests. Amon, I don't know how to describe my gratitude. You are the god who guided me!"

Amon also sighed: "Belief comes from your heart. I did not force you to do anything. I don't want to do something like that. With your personality, it is indeed not easy to not promise anything to Princess Xiao Qian. No wonder she passed the test of the temptation of the devil. Of course, I am not saying that Princess Xiao Qian is a devil, nor that the noble title and fief of the noble are a devil. You should understand... You have already achieved level five. Has your cultivation over the past period of time been interrupted?"

Medanzo giggled, "God Amon, you understand my ambitions and pursuits, once to restore the noble status and the glory of our ancestors, but when I became a noble again, I realized that what I really hoped for was another kind of detachment and the path you guided. The cultivation of two-sided power, except for the interruption of the days I walked with you, has been persistent since then, and it has become my life."

Amon nodded thoughtfully and said, "What it gains from the cultivation of power on both sides of the body is a kind of power, but it is also a kind of self-awareness that is used to. Forgetting it but having it naturally may be the real pursuit. Medanzo, since you have embarked on this path, I hope to remember this."

...

Medanzo lived temporarily in Mengfeisi City. Amon gave him a task, bought a house in the city as a foothold, and gave him a document to prove his identity, with the name written on it Aroho. Of course, it is convenient for someone to do things, but some things cannot be handed over to the guards of his subordinates. Medanzo came at the right time.

Amon was rich enough to buy the most suitable place. On the west side near the edge of the city-state, Medanzo bought a large mansion, a manor of a down-and-out nobleman. It not only has a front yard, but also a small independent garden. The spacious vestibule is also equipped with a fountain in the spacious vestibule. There is also a small private temple in the backyard for worshipping gods and meditation and praying. It seems that the owner of this manor was a magician many years ago.

Now it has become Amon's house, and everything is managed by Medanzo, and a group of servants have been hired, such as the concierge and groom. Medanzo has become the housekeeper, and the real Master Arroho rarely appears and is said to be very busy.

Amon also brought Schrödinger into the house. Medanzo knew the cat and told everyone to respect Schrödinger, which was the cat offered by the master. But Schrödinger did not like to live here. Most of the time, he was still hanging out with the idle cats outside the Temple of Isis. He couldn't find it, so he could only wait for it to come out on his own initiative.

In order to make Schrödinger like it, Amon ordered people to replace the statue of the god worshipped in the temple in the backyard with the Best of the Eju Cat God. Every day, the best wine and fresh and delicious grilled fish were placed. Whether Schrödinger came or not, it was actually prepared for it. In this way, Schrödinger would come every day, eat and drink before slipping away, as if he was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Maria advised Amon to stay in the Temple of Isis and publicly become a glorious warrior. The main purpose is to protect him. In fact, there is no shortage of a warrior in the Temple of Isis. Maria also promised that she would not stop him from returning to her hometown. If Amon had something to do, she would send him to the Duke Town to perform missions.

The originally agreed year was still several months, and Medanzo himself came to Meng Feisi, so Amon was not in a hurry. Whether it was divine art or physical art, the more advanced the practice, the more profound the content, Amon suffered the first failure since his cultivation. He wanted to process the snake tendon he obtained on the Barron River into a magic artifact, but he was not well controlled. He watched the precious snake tendon break in his hands and was destroyed into useless waste.

But he also gained another unexpected gain, and was inspired by Schrödinger.

There was nothing surprising about Amon buying a private house in the city. With the status of the captain of the guard and his salary, it would be abnormal not to buy another residence in the city. Amon would leave the temple only when he was not on duty. Once he came to the back of the house and walked into the small temple enshrined with Goddess Best, and found Schrödinger drinking and eating meat on the god's desk.

Amon smiled and stood there quietly watching, not disturbing the cat's good mood. Schrödinger did not look back but knew that Amon was coming. After eating and drinking, he jumped off the divine case, stretched out his claws and waved like a human, and then ran into the yard.

When Amon chased him out, Schrödinger was gone, but he left two lines of words on the ground, which was not a divine text! This was the first time this cat wrote secular words, and Amon was a little surprised. He must not understand what was written on the ground, but Amon recognized it at a glance, which was the archive number of the Temple of Isis.

It seems that the cat is in a good mood. After drinking, he instructed Amon to find two documents in the archives. What exactly did Schrödinger want to give him advice? Amon was also very curious.

Although he is the captain of the archives, he cannot read the collections at will. He can only arrange for himself to go to the corresponding reading room alone, and wait until no one can take out the archives and read them carefully. The first document was quickly found, in a very high-standard document collection room, placed at the bottom of a shelf protected by the detection magic array. Fortunately, Amon's detection magic has been practiced to the advanced level, and he can take out the documents without issuing an alarm.

The result surprised and delighted him. The name of the document was "The Land of Marduk", and the content recorded above was the legend about Duke town mentioned by Mary. Amon spent more than half a year but searched for it. If it weren't for Schrödinger's guidance, he wouldn't know when he would find it. It seemed that the cat knew what he was thinking.

Amonwan didn't expect that the name of Duke Town was actually related to Marduk, the main god of the Barron Kingdom. It was the place where Marduk became famous in the battle of Marduk, which was the battle of the gods that Anunaqi had a long-standing battle.

In the myths and legends of Anunaqi, the first people who became gods were the male god Apusu and the goddess Amat. They gave birth to male god Rahm and goddess Raham, and Rahm and female Raham gave birth to the god Anunaqi. The Anunaqi divine system is named after the god Anu. It is said that he is the highest god with the highest status. What's going on? It involves a very long battle.

The god Anu has two sons, namely Enriel and Ea, who is the legendary god of wisdom. He has a son named Marduk. Enriel gave birth to the moon god Nannar and the sun god Utu, and the moon god Nannar also gave birth to Mu Yun, who is known as the goddess of Venus. This is the myth. These gods may not necessarily symbolize the sun, moon and stars, but their reputation on earth.

Goddess Mu Yun once told Amon in person that the relationship between gods is not the kind of blood relationship that ordinary people understand, and there is no explanation for what the specific story is. However, in the classics and legends Amon saw, they are still recorded according to the relationship.

It is said that the gods had conflicts when dividing the divine realm. Ah Ah sneaked and killed Apusu. In order to revenge, Amat created nine kinds of monsters, namely the nine-headed monster snake, the swamp giant snake, the scorpion-tailed dragon, the sea monster, the giant lion, the three-headed evil dog, the human-faced poisonous scorpion, the charming mermaid, and the wilderness bull. He handed over the holy object "Destiny Book of Destiny" that represented the supreme divine status when the divine system was founded to his other son Jingut, and asked him to take revenge.

The gods split into two factions, one was headed by Amat, the combat commander was Jingut, the other was headed by Enriel, and the combat commander was Malduk. A battle of gods broke out in the center of Tianshu Continent, and many gods fell at that time. As a result, Malduk won, killed Amat and Jingut, and won the Destiny Book of Destiny. Therefore, that battlefield was also called the "land of Malduk".

However, there was friction on the winner's side. Enriel, as the leader of the gods, should have obtained the Book of Destiny, but Marduk directly handed over the Book of Destiny to the god Anu, so that Enriel did not become the supreme god who mastered the Anunaqi system. Anuna and Aiah had no intention of continuing to participate in the struggle between the gods and retired from the legendary Kingdom of Anunaqi.

A conflict broke out between the two great gods Enriel and Marduk, and the result was that the divine realm was divided, while the other gods depended on the divine realm of the two great gods, and enjoyed their own divine realm based on the merits made in the battle between the gods.

Legend has it that the fallen gods condense their blood into flame elves, their muscles condense into the eye of the earth, their breath condenses into the charm of the wind, their sweat condenses into the dark blue water heart, and the crystals of the bones turn into ordinary divine stones. The tears of the gods are condensed by the tears shed by the gods. Dukezhen is not the only place on the continent where divine stones are produced, but the yield is very high, which is naturally related to this ancient war.

When the two great gods divided the divine realm, the land of Malduk was placed on the edge of Enriel's divine realm. Enriel did not want the name of Malduk in his divine realm. Later, the place where some people lived was simply called Duke Town. There was no record of this legend in the local temple, but this story was recorded in the documents far away in the Temple of Isis in Eju.

The land of Malduk was once very abundant, but it became desolate because of the battle of the gods. It was a place where the gods fell, a place where the gods were disliked, and even more exiled. The miners living there mined divine stones for generations to the people who admired the gods and were not allowed to leave their hometowns. This is a punishment, and it is said that their ancestors supported Amart and Jingut in the battle of the gods.

The legend is just a legend. No one can tell whether the fact is like this. Amon grew up in Duke Town and knew that the patron saint there was Mu Yun. How did Goddess Mu Yun become the patron saint of Duke Town? This document does not mention it, but it mentions two other things that attract attention.

One is that the miners in Duke Town were cursed by the gods and engaged in heavy labor for generations. The miners' skills in Duke Town were also taught by the gods, including the awakening ceremony of power, and even the most basic divine skills. They are similar to the two awakenings of power, but they cannot make a real breakthrough. The purpose of the gods passing down the miners' skills is just to make them work for generations until they are redeemed and forgiven.

No wonder Maria once said that Amon was a miner from Duke Town, and it was not difficult to use the second awakening ceremony of power. She was the guardian saint of Goddess Isis, and she didn't care much about the legend of Anunaqi's divine system. The truth and falsehood of the legend are unknown, but Duke Town's miners' skills are real. The last step of mining of divine stones is completed by the magician, and only in Duke Town is completed by the miner.

The second is the prophecy passed down from unknown era. When the land of Malduk returns to its prosperity, a new god of gods will appear. There is another saying that a new battle of gods will break out. These legends cannot be verified, but in the main temples of Hathi and the Assyrian kingdom, Enriel's oracle is clearly recorded. He will make it a fertile land again and he will become the real god of gods.

After reading the myths and legends recorded in this article, Amon took a breath of air. These should be legends that were a long time ago. No one knew the truth or falsehood, but Duke Town is indeed a very special place. He could not ask about the matter between gods, but Duke Town is about to become a fertile land. If he wants to guide his tribesmen back to his home, the road may be filled with thorns and blood and sweat.

Then he thought of another thing, looking for a way to become a god was the task assigned to him by the old madman. Is it also related to this ancient legend and prophecy? Bell once came here, and he had a connection with the old madman, and the old madman should also know the records in this book.

Amon turned to the last page of the document and indeed confirmed his guess. Someone left two marks in the blank space, which were very blurry, but the patterns looked very similar to the front and back sides of the token that the old madman gave him.

That brand was once Bell's token, why did he leave his mark here? Was it because he was waiting for someone to read this document and imply something? Amon subconsciously wanted to take out the brand and compare it, and then he thought that the brand was not carried with him.

It is not difficult to find the first volume of the document, but it is not easy to check the second volume of the document guided by Schrödinger. According to the number index, the document and many important books are locked in a cabinet together with the high-ranking priests in charge of the archives. The cabinet and the lock are blessed by divine magic. Amon could not open it quietly without leaving any traces, so he could only wait for the opportunity.

Before Amon could wait for the right opportunity, he first waited for the summoning of the saint. Gabriel himself passed the message. The place where the saint summoned him was the study where the daily documents were handled, which was very spacious like a small palace. The saint gave him enough courtesy and was still given a seat. The seat was far away and there was a blanket in front. Amon could only salute on the blanket and then sit down and speak.

Maria sat behind the desk. It was a private meeting. There was no one in the study. Maria had already asked Gabriel to retreat. The distance did not affect anything. Amon could still see her clearly, even if the curve of each eyelash was extremely clear.

According to common sense, Maria should first praise Amon for his behavior at the Blessing Ceremony, but she did not say that, but just looked at him and asked, "Amon, are you doing well?"
