This sentence was once asked by Amon, and Mary asked him the same question today. The meaning is very complicated. Perhaps only the two of them can understand it, and it only turns into this simple greeting.

Amon replied: "I have lived a good life, never been so leisurely, but I am always waiting."

Maria's eyes were so soft and quiet, she looked at him and said, "What are you waiting for?"

Amon also looked at her, his eyes so naturally: "I am waiting for your summons and waiting to ask you. I once said that I will return to Duke Town and guide my tribesmen to return to my hometown."

Maria nodded softly: "I remember, you said you have something to do, how long will it take?"

Amon: "There are more than two months left."

Maria: "In a month, I will send you to perform a mission, go deep into the Duke town surrounded by swamps, investigate the terrain and landform there, and report every detail change as detailed as possible. You are the person who is most familiar with it and is the most suitable for completing this mission."

Amon: "Thank you, I will definitely complete this task."

Maria said with concern: "I want to remind you that after the flood, there were many monsters in the mountains, plains, swamps and deserts, and this trip was full of dangers."

Amon said in surprise: "I just passed there last year, didn't you meet me?"

Maria asked, “Where did you get from where?”

Amon: "I went south of the Inland Lake and crossed the desert to reach the Syrian city-state."

Maria explained: "The places where monsters appear mainly in the northwest of the Inland Lake. As the flood receded, it has appeared in large numbers in the past six months. Now there are many poisonous scorpions in the desert... Do you need to send enough magicians to protect it? But there is no way to enter the group of people there, and this is an action that crosses national borders, and it cannot be used as an open identity."

Amon shook his head and said, "No need, I grew up there, so it's more convenient to go there by myself. As for the danger, I have experienced too much and are not afraid. Whether there is any danger or not, or whether I perform a mission, I will go there. Now I heard that there are many monsters in that area, so I have to check it out."

Maria sighed softly: "People may choose more than one way. A fertile land of monsters appeared in the middle of the continent. It will be a place for countless heroes to make achievements and a place for disputes and fights among the kingdoms. Do you have to guide your tribesmen back to your hometown? Starting a family and building a career like many ordinary people in Eju may lead your life better."

She was clearly persuading Amon. She must have read the document "The Land of Malduk" and knew that the situation in that place would be very complicated. Amon replied sincerely: "I have made promises to the dead souls and the guardian gods. I must find the descendants of Duke Town and guide them to return to my hometown. Unless they do not want to, I must do my best to fulfill the promise."

Maria seemed a little hesitant, but finally said, "That day, you found the assassin at the blessing ceremony, and not only threw a javelin to block the arrow. I could see clearly on the platform, and you rushed to the place where the assassin appeared. I was very worried at the time. Fortunately, the assassin escaped faster than you chased, otherwise you would be in danger of life. It was Gabriel who finally caught the arrow, and later she told me privately that she was not the man's opponent."

Amon said frankly: "Thank you for your concern, but that's what I should do. The soldiers rushed towards the enemy on the battlefield and were in danger of their lives at any time. Would they just turn around and run away?"

Maria's tone was a little emotional: "I should thank you. I should also help you with your affairs, but I don't know how much I can help you. There is still one month before I set out to perform the mission. I will send you to patrol a place. When you get there, you will understand what I want to tell you."

The Saint Maiden not only wanted to send Amon to the Duke Town area to carry out investigation missions, but also sent him to patrol a place before departure, with a profound meaning in his words. Amon did not ask, but stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your arrangement."

Seeing Maria's appearance, she wanted to stand up, but in the end she sat on the chair and waved her hand: "No need to thank me, you will understand when you get to the place. I'm sorry I can't help you more."

The conversation between the two was very short, and the Saint Maiden had no more time to summon a small guard captain alone. Amon's attitude was respectful from beginning to end. The only difference from the others was that the two were looking at each other. When Amon took a break and turned around in front of the door, Maria suddenly said: "Amon, take this, I think you should read more of these classics."

Amon turned around again and saw Maria standing up, holding a piece of paper in his hand. He walked back quickly and took the piece of paper with both hands. One of them accidentally touched the tips of their fingers. This was a behavior that was beyond the rules. He could not touch the body of the saint, nor could he deliver the saint's portable objects directly. Even if he was a captain of the guard, the lightest punishment would be to cut off the finger.

It's so funny. This is the second time Amon has faced such punishment. But the Saint did not blame him, nor did he summon the servant to punish Amon. He let go of his hand and asked Amon to take the paper over. Then he said calmly: "I forgot to ask the servant to hand you this paper, just put it on the table, and you can take it yourself."

This sentence is a reminder, she didn't need to say it, but she said it in the end. Amon realized that he had exceeded the rules and quickly bowed and apologized, but his fingertips always had a soft feeling, which made him very ashamed. Maria shook her head and said, "It's just an unintentional mistake, it's not your fault, why bother apologizing?...I will summon you when you set off in a month."

Amon stood up and looked up. There was only a table between the two of them. He looked at Maria again. He suddenly had an impulse in his heart, remembering the unfinished kiss. God, at this moment, he really wanted to kiss her! This impulse made Amon lower his head, no longer look at her, and bowed and retreated from the study.

...

The Temple of Isis is not only the buildings in the city of Mengfeis, but also the large pastures, farms, and groups of slaves. The place where Mary sent Amon to patrol was located south of Mengfeis and close to the city-state of Herak, about two hundred miles west of the Ronnie River. It is far away from the valley, and is a semi-desert area, with many tall stone mountains.

There are sparse grass growing at the foot of the mountain, and there are only some very drought-resistant shrubs in the cracks of the mountain. From a distance, the earth is yellow, the mountains are dark brown, and there are continuous buildings at the foot of the mountain, which are very simple with stones. This place is very important to the Temple of Mengfeisi. It is one of the most important production places of divine stones in Xia Aiju, named He Lieshan.

Amon is the messenger who came to inspect He Lieshan, and he is also responsible for escorting the divine stones produced this season back to Meng Feisi. He was very enthusiastic in He Lieshan. The head of the place is a level 6 magician, a high priest named Blanca. The environment here is very difficult, and the living conditions are far from comparable to Meng Feisi City, but there is also one advantage, that is, it is very oily and water. Don't forget that the divine stones produced in He Lieshan are.

Although he is in a desolate area, Lord Blanca knows how to enjoy it. The courtyard he lives in is very luxurious. He even uses the environment to set up a magic array to make the courtyard cool and moist. The water he uses every day is transported from the Ronnie River. After special purification, he can also eat fresh vegetables transported from the Herac city-state, not to mention cattle, sheep and wine.

It was a fat man to visit here, not to mention that Amon was appointed by the saint this time, which was naturally subtlely different from the previous special envoys. Blanca was a little worried. He knew that the saint had first taken over the power, and was afraid that he would be found out and he was taken down to establish his authority. Therefore, as soon as Amon arrived, he gave him a generous gift.

Blanca's concerns were redundant. Amon did not want to find fault on purpose, nor did he blackmail him. He saw Blanca's suspicion, and smiled and accepted the gift. After checking the accounts, he counted the magic stones hidden in the cellar and ordered the things that were shipped back to the Temple of Isis to load the car. Blanca finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Amon didn't care how good Blanca was, nor did he deliberately find out his faults. A few days before arriving in He Lieshan, he spent most of his time reading books in his room. The paper Maria gave him was written with the archive numbers of several volumes. Amon borrowed it from the archives and took it to read whenever he had time on the road.

Not all documents in the Isis Temple Archives were written in divine documents. As a warrior, Amon could also apply to borrow some volumes recorded in secular texts, but Amon had not read a single one during this period, and the secrets recorded in divine documents could not be read, until Maria gave him this list of books.

Amon did not expect that what Maria asked him to read was a book of military tactics, which was about how to march, how to integrate logistics, how to arrange battle formations, how to manage various troops, how to command corps operations, etc. Amon was a warrior. He had achieved level 6 achievements at a young age and was likely to become a great warrior in the future. Looking at these classics, is Maria looking forward to him becoming a general?

Of course, reading military books alone will not become an excellent general, but it is also very useful. The proportion of people who read literacy on the Tianshu Continent is very small, and even fewer people can understand military tactics. Maria made Amon learn very complete and systematic books, and how to deal with the situation during the war are basically mentioned, at least giving him the capital to start.

If he became a great warrior and had systematically studied military tactics, he would definitely be qualified to become the leader of the army in the future. Is this a hint from Maria? Amon was very serious and silently deduced the various battle scenes mentioned in the book in his heart. From Meng Feisi City to He Lieshan, he remembered all the contents of the book in his heart.

After the account check was completed, the divine stones that were supposed to be shipped were also encapsulated, but Amon did not leave immediately because he still had a patrol mission. On the third day after arriving at Mount He Lie, Amon asked Blanca to go to the mine's production site and visit all the processes of mining divine stones. Since Maria sent him here, she must have intentions, and Amon of course had to patrol every place.

Blanca advised at the table: "Enterprise, you don't have to go to that kind of place in person. If you really want to inspect, just look at the scene where the magicians mine the mining cores. I will praise the Lord in the report for how he completed it carefully and meticulously."

Amon smiled in his heart. It seemed that the people here did not know his origin. He was a real miner. The backyard of the house he grew up was a workshop. He smiled and explained: "You don't have to call me an adult. Although I am a special envoy, I am still a civilian. The saint ordered me to inspect the mines. I naturally have to be loyal to the duty and travel everywhere. Where the noble adults are inconvenient to go, I should go too."

He is not a nobleman? Blanca knew this, but John, the captain of He Lieshan at the same table, showed a look of surprise and contempt. John was born into a large aristocratic family in Mengfeisi City. He is now a level 6 warrior like Amon. He has a cruel personality and once slandered people in conflict. He was transferred to He Lieshan as the captain of the guard, which was considered a punishment.

John was arrogant by nature and had grievances in nature in this place where birds do not shit. Now a special envoy came, who was said to be highly appreciated by the saint. He happened to have made several contributions and was promoted to the captain of the guard as a civilian. Compared with his own experience, John felt very depressed and looked down on Amon, and he accidentally revealed it at the table.

Amon knew John's emotions, but pretended not to see them, and said with a pleasant look: "Lord Blanca doesn't have to be worried about the ***, nor does he have to accompany me to those smoky places in person, and send a few subordinates to guide me. I will inspect them all to complete the tasks completed by the Saint."

The Helieshan Mine has a large range, not only producing divine stones, but also producing stones for building temples and pharaohs' pyramids. On the first day of Amon went to the mine, which was like returning to his familiar hometown. The scale of the mine here is much larger than that outside Duke Town. There are guards to maintain order, and craftsmen are in charge. Most of the mining work is done by slaves, and the labor is very hard.

The next day, he inspected several veins that produced the divine stones. Accompanied by a dedicated engineer, he visited the entire process of excavation and mining of the mining cores. He also saw that the ore cores were mined with his own eyes, and felt very friendly. He walked around several veins and found that the distribution range of the ore veins here was much larger than that of the Duke Town, and the number of miners exceeded that of Duke Town, but the output of the divine stones was less than one-tenth of that of Duke Town.

On the morning of the third day, Amon inspected the last step of mining divine stones. In a large and clean stone house, dozens of low-level divine magicians used their staff to open the mine core to extract the divine stones. These divine magicians were sent by the Temple of Isis and were rotated every quarter, which is a training task. They all have separate workshops and have slaves to serve them at any time.

When Amon saw the number of these magicians and the speed at which they opened the mine core, and compared the total amount of magical stones collected this season, he found something wrong after calculating in his mind. He asked the priest who accompanied the inspection and said, "According to my statistics this morning, if the divine stones mined by these magicians are equivalent to the quarterly output, only about 60% of the divine stones handed in this season, is it declining recently?"

The responsible priest quickly explained: "It's not like this. There are another group of people who are mining nuclear, but their status is low and their workplaces are crowded. Anyway, I have read everything I should watch, so Mr. Amon doesn't have to go again."

Amon was stunned. There was indeed a situation here. The last step to mine the core was completed by the magician. Why would there be people with low status? He immediately said, "I have even entered the mine cave, let alone the workshop where the core is opened? Since I have come, of course I have to patrol all the places, so take me there."

The priest said reluctantly: "It's already noon, let's go after lunch."

There was good wine during lunch, and several entourages accompanying the patrol kept asking Amon to drink. Amon drank a lot, but he was not drunk. After dinner, he urged his entourage to inspect the remaining places. The responsible priest had no choice but to take Amon to a group of stone houses guarded by the guards.

It looks like an independent village, surrounded by some low and simple houses. In the middle of the stone houses, there is a large hall. The roof of the hall is not high, the door is very narrow, and there are guards holding weapons in front of the door.

Before Amon entered the door, he heard a loud scolding inside: "You dirty miner, are you looking for death? You dare to destroy the divine stones!... The envoy of the Temple of Isis has arrived here and ordered the mining of enough divine stones for this season, but you can't complete the mission. No one can think of a good ending. He is a role model!"

With the roar and the sharp wind brought by the whip, Amon was walking in. He heard this sentence and rushed in!

The hall is very large, and workbenches are lined up around the surroundings. Dozens of miners wearing rough clothes are working with sledgehammers. The anvil is placed on the mined mined core, and the last step is to take out the magic stone. Behind a workbench near the door, a weak boy is holding a heavy mineral hammer. The core in front of him has turned into powder. At a glance, he knows that the force is not controlled perfectly when the hammer is dropped, and the magic stone is damaged.

Amon recognized the boy at a glance, his facial features were so familiar, but now he became dark and thin. He was Moses, the son of Mayor Dusty!

John, the captain of He Lieshan, was full of anger and was waving a long whip to Moses. His eyes flashed, and the whip hit a man's back, and his clothes were cracked and a blood mark left on his skin. The man slowly turned around with a calm face, his chest was fluctuating violently, as if he was forcibly suppressing a rising anger. It was Amon, the inspector sent by the Temple of Isis.

John was also startled and quickly put down his whip and said, "Mr. Amon, why did you suddenly rush in? I couldn't hold it away when I pulled it out. I'm sorry for hurting you. It's really an accident!"

The followers were also shocked and surrounded him and asked, "Mr. Amon, are you seriously injured? Don't blame Mr. John, he didn't mean it. Let's help you go back and apply medicine. The patrol has been here. If you are injured, you should have a good rest..."
