Pivot of the Sky

167 The Lion King

Gabriel took the sheepskin roll and asked, "The letter to me is also an order, but it can only be seen after I fight Amon? But Lord, I was going to assassinate him. If I was still alive at that time, then Explanation ... "

Maria waved her hand and interrupted her: "You don't have to say more. The imperial order is an order. I won't let you violate it. I also know who you are .... Gabriel, how long are you by my side? Is it time? "

Gabriel slumped: "It's been six years since I first saw you in the cape city-state. Maria, if you weren't the Virgin of the Temple of Isis, do you have anything to tell me right now?"

Maria looked out of the window with a faint smile: "Whether I am the Virgin or the girl named Maria, thank you very much. What I want to say is already written in the letter .... Before I set out Do you have anything to say to me? "

Gabriel stood up, saying word by word: "This is a very difficult task. Since the empire appointed me to go, I have a few requirements."

Maria nodded and said, "To accept such a task, there should be a request, you say it."

Gabriel: "I can't go alone. I need the help of a magician, at least one great magician."

Maria replied: "I have talked with the three high priests just now. There will be a great wizard to cooperate with you. George was the chief priest of the An-Ra legion. He volunteered to perform this task with you. And he ca n’t return to life after he finishes the mission. "

Gabriel paused for a moment and said, "The Tianshu continent is so large that I can't find him aimlessly and inconveniently swagger around. So the empire needs to send secret agents to find the exact location of Amon's hiding place before he can start. Action. I'm a noble warrior, so that fits my identity, as does High Priest George. "

Maria replied very simply: "It should be so, just do it! With the exact news of Amon, you and the high priest will set off again."

Gabriel: "I need one more weapon."

Maria: "You can choose from the various weapons and armors in the Temple of Isis. No matter how precious they are, they will always be your reward for performing this task."

Gabriel shook his head and said, "I do n’t need the temple ’s weapons. I just need all the great wizards and craftsmen in the temple to help me repair a weapon. That is the tomahawk I once fought with Enqi. It has many places. Incomplete, I re-smelted and repaired it with various precious materials, and almost completely changed the material. Now I need the help of all the great wizards and artisan masters to sacrifice it into a perfect weapon. "

Maria: "I will meet your requirements, mobilize all the power to help you build this weapon, and you will set off after the sacrifice is completed. Her Majesty Pharaoh did not say the time limit for completing the task."

Gabriel bowed, "Thank you, Madam!"

Maria looked at her meaningfully: "Your request is completely reasonable, Gabriel, have you learned to do business?" Gabriel was ordered to **** the candidate Virgin Mary to Cape Town, and she was Alone, as a big warrior, there is not even a follower on the journey. But now he was ordered to assassinate Amon, but made so many demands.

Gabriel replied: "Because this is to execute the order of the empire, not to fulfill my own wishes, then follow the official rules."

Maria nodded again: "Okay, everything is as you said."

The matter was over, but Gabriel didn't leave, he stood there for a moment, hesitated, and finally couldn't help but say, "Master, can you talk about a few personal topics?"

Maria smiled lightly: "This is a private occasion. Whatever you say."

Gabriel sighed: "I'm not used to talking like this, but I have to say. The Empire named me to kill Amon. Don't you think there is any suspicion of killing someone with a knife? The general is not guilty and deserved, just for the benefit of the Empire Drop him. But don't forget that Amon himself may be the best assassin on the road. He can capture a king, which is more difficult than killing a king. "

Maria looked away from the window and looked down at the table. "It is said that Angel Seth has a **** and will be assisted by a messenger of the gods."

Gabriel: "I don't care about anyone's assistance. If I die in this operation, it's like someone killed me by the hand of Amon. I have had this experience before, and I am becoming a samurai Before, but this time it was totally different. After I left, what about you, Madam? This is obviously for you. "

Maria seemed to be saying to herself: "I know Amon, maybe even better than himself. The test you are facing is not him, so I will let you read the letter after the battle. ... rest assured Well, after all, I'm not that little girl back then, and I don't need your protection all the time. "

What she said was that Gabriel's assassination would not be successful at all, because the samurai was not Amon's opponent at all, and she was very sure that Amon would not kill Gabriel.

Gabriel did not refute anything, and continued: "I know your situation very well. As the patron saint of the Temple of Isis, you have become a symbol of the Old Testament among the gods in the reform of Pharaoh Ellacht's New Deal. "The next step must be against you. You need to change your identity and status. This reform of the gods can be considered a complete success."

Maria raised her head: "I understand, but I'm still me anyway! I hope you can also remember that people will finally leave in this world, what is the faith they seek?"

Gabriel stopped talking, and retreated to the Virgin. Maria stood up and walked to the window. There was no light in the dark. Starlight was shining on her body through the edge of the window. She watched the distance silently, wondering what she was thinking, and stood all night.

...

Amon crossed the mountains in the night, the sky was brilliant, he always felt that someone's eyes were watching him in veins. It was finally dawning, and he embarked on an official road. This was the way out of the border and along the coastline to the city state of Saya, Hati Kingdom. It was also the march line where he led the An-Ra legion. There was a checkpoint ahead.

The genius was bright, there was no one else on the road, the guards on duty were cooking a fire, watching the blue smoke rising from afar. Several warriors with shuttle guns opened the wooden gate in front of the level, and saw Amon walking around with a short stick in his waist. Due to the signing of the alliance peace agreement with the Kingdom of Hati, the usual inspection at this level was not strict, but now he has received an order from the general, Amon, to cross-examine the personnel carefully.

Amon walked in the thin morning mist, and the soldier on the other side shouted, "What's your name, who is on the road, where does it come from and where is it going?"

Amon Lang replied, "My name is Amon. I want to go to the Duke Plains, and I heard that the Eju Empire is looking for me."

No matter what the soldiers in the checkpoint were doing, the action stopped at this moment, and then they saw that they ran out with the weapons. Amon walked over, and the soldiers bowed their heads as if they had not seen him, and Amon said again, "I am Amon!"

Suddenly a soldier said to the people next to him, "I heard thunder yesterday, and my ears buzzed. I couldn't hear anything when I got up this morning."

Another soldier replied: "It seems to me, too, there is always an echo in the ear." The chief of the level came over and rushed to Amon and said, "People on the road, you don't have anything to carry, you don't have to check. Pass the level I need to pay five copper coins, and if it's not convenient for me, I can lend it to you. "

When Amon looked at the stance, he knew that the soldiers were unwilling to apprehend him, but according to the decree of the empire, he saw the fugitive but did not take action, and he would be held accountable in the future. Amon wanted to publish his identity and then went through the barriers. He didn't embarrass anyone but just announced that he was leaving. Unexpectedly, the soldiers guarding the checkpoints reacted in this way.

He couldn't say anything more, and handed out five copper coins to the chief and said, "Thank you, I have money."

Amon just walked out of the checkpoint, dozens of soldiers lined up, and pointed their arms at the ground and bowed in greeting. Not far ahead is the Gobi Desert, which will travel north along the coastline to reach the Syrian Desert. It didn't take long for Amon to leave the border, and suddenly he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and someone chased after him on a horse.

He stopped and looked back, the chief of the checkpoint. The man rushed forward and jumped off the horse, bowed and handed a parcel: "The desert is ahead, you need food and water." Then there is no nonsense, turn around and jump on the horse and prepare to leave.

Amon asked, "Who are you?"

The officer replied: "My name is Van Leart, the earliest cavalry under Captain Jule, grew up with Jule and Themis, and taught him the physical skills."

It turned out to be such a coincidence! The team of soldiers stationed at the border checkpoint was recruited from the hometown of Themis. They were originally subordinates and fellow villagers of Jules. Of course, they are grateful to General Amon, and it is no wonder that there will be today's actions. Amon once made a big dream, if the city-state deputy director Sheng Yi did not commit suicide, he would also be sent to the border checkpoint.

Rod Dick ordered the An-La army to hunt down Amun, presumably the Lord Lord also knew the result, and it was strange to catch it! If any soldier really dares to fight with Amon, not to mention whether he is an opponent, he will return to the army to participate in training in the future. This is not to fight against the enemy, what kind of merit General General Amon has, and why he killed Prince Snake, the soldiers of the An-Ra legion are very clear.

...

Amon was grateful. Although he didn't need the package, he still put it in his bones. Continue to drive forward along the coastline through rolling meadows and hills with sparse shrubs. The road has gradually disappeared or is no longer needed, and the Gobi in front of it is gravel.

If anyone followed Amon's attention and noticed, he would find that he didn't look slow or slow, but he was faster than the carriage, and the distance of each step was as stable as measured by a ruler. It took him a day to walk through the Gobi. The sand dunes ahead were already light yellow. He sat on the dunes at night to rest and meditate. He continued to set off when the sun rose.

The last time he went this way, he led the mighty An-La army. At this time, he was alone, and the shadows under the dawn and the sand dunes were long. The morning glow was crimson. The distant seawater reflected a bit of gold in the blue. The undulating sand dunes turned yellow, white, and pink. The sea breeze was slightly humid, but the sand in the sun had gradually risen to dryness The heat.

The picture in front of me is like an unfolding heart, vast and mysterious, and a desolate beauty between heaven and earth. A gust of wind blew, and Amon suddenly stopped to take a deep breath, and smelled the wine. Although he is not a drunkard like his father, he is absolutely a superb connoisseur of world wine, good wine!

Looking away, there is a tent on the tallest sand dune in the direction of the distant horizon, where the fragrance of wine comes from. Ameng Yun used his eye squinting technique to see that it turned out to be a large golden dome with a glittering treasure top decoration above it. Four pillars supported the ornate embroidered ribbons, but it was full of air on all sides. No curtain, like a pavilion.

A man sat in the big tent, with long golden brown hair and a big red dress. Amon saw a sense of inexplicableness at a glance-- mighty! This man's appearance was about thirty years old, his body was extremely majestic, and his body was exuding a majestic atmosphere. In this desolate desert, it seemed that invisible creatures were trembling gently under his authority.

There was a table in the large account, and there were three chairs by the table, but there was only one person. The table was filled with wine and food, and the man was drinking with a huge gold cup inlaid with various gems. When Amon saw him, the man also responded and looked up and said, "Where is your hometown, a long-distance traveler? The journey is long and pending. Why not stop and drink wine with strange friends?"

He didn't speak loudly when he looked like him, but his natural voice was amazing, with a buzzing sound in the wind. From such a far distance, the dunes beside Amon even echoed. Amon walked step by step and said, "Why are you drinking here, unfamiliar friend? The scenery is so beautiful, but the desolation is heartbreaking. The wine is in your throat. Who are you waiting for?"

The man stood up, "I'm waiting for you, Amon."

Amon had come closer, and there was no trace of it on the soft sand. But when I stepped onto this dune, it was like an invisible gust of wind. Every step I took, the sand I stepped on seemed to turn into quicksand instantly, and quickly fell down. His horns and hair floated backwards, whistling sounds in his ears, but the surrounding scenery was so quiet and serene.

Amon did not slow down, stepping on this huge sand dune step by step, and the drifting sand under his feet seemed to be ripples in the water, and finally disappeared. This is a silent battle. The man standing on the sand dunes can give such a strong sense of coercion, as if it were a god.

It was obvious that the visitor was not good enough to meet each other in this way. The other party had been waiting here for a long time, and Amon could not hide if he wanted to hide. After boarding the dunes, he asked, "Are you waiting for me? I don't remember seeing you."

The man smiled and said with a finger across the chair: "Unfamiliar friends can also sit and drink wine together. Not many people in the world can sit and drink peacefully across from me. Does General Amon have this courage? What do you think of the wine here? "

Amundra sat down over the chair and said, "I knew it was good wine when I smelled it. It was so kind to prepare such a good wine in such a desolate place. Is it a special trip to entertain me?"

The man also sat down and replied, "It's for entertaining you and for myself. The journey of life is so difficult, why not treat life well?"

Amon nodded and said, "I can see that you are a person who knows how to enjoy. Waiting in the desert, you also set up such a tent and set up such a table. It's like an outing king. .Can you tell me your name, and what's wrong with me? "

The man said unhurriedly, "I heard that you are smart, so guess who I am?"

Amon shrugged and said, "How do you guess? You might as well tell me directly, which angel is sent by the god?"

The man said: "When the sun rose, I enjoyed the glory of the gods on the grasslands; when the shadow of the mountains was the shortest, I was looking forward to eternal youth and beautiful love; when the gods fell and my homeland disappeared, I Wandering alone in the sunset with injuries. This ancient ballad is you or me? Mu Yun's favorite lover, Amon. "

Amon suddenly remembered something, and narrowed his eyes and asked, "A giant lion?"

The man smiled slightly: "You are not stupid, I am the Lion King Renyun!"

Amon wondered: "I've heard your legend, but we haven't dealt with it. Why did you come to me on purpose? If it's because of Goddess Mu Yun, I don't think your grudges have anything to do with me. If you want to block my way , I will keep going. "

Just then, another powerful force suddenly came from the ground. Not far from the sand dunes, three human figures appeared. A muscular and knotty man and two enchanting beauties emerged from the sand. It is old acquaintance. Amon stood up and said, "King of Scorpions! Why would you come here?"

Surabaya brought the ice scorpion and fire scorpion into the large account, and sat down and laughed generously: "Hundreds of years later, the Lion King has finally come out, and the mighty is better than ever. I heard that he is looking for a duel with you. Please come. How can I miss such a lively thing in arbitration? Come here, let's dry this glass first! "

After sitting in Surabaya, the ice scorpion and fire scorpion slap on their legs, the ice scorpion pours wine, and the fire scorpion lifts a cup into his mouth. Surabaya drank a full glass and pouted, "Good wine! Renyun, you always know how to enjoy it, but unfortunately you have to pour wine for yourself. Why not bring a few female lions? Are you still thinking? With the goddess Mu Yun, or still afraid of the goddess being jealous? "

Ren Yun thought and drank: "Scorpion King, we haven't seen each other for more than 200 years, have you? You are still the same, just more handsome and stronger than before. I do n’t know these two scorpions. It ’s only been cultivated for a hundred years? ... If you have a good drink, drink a few more cups. After that, give me and Amon an arbitration. "
