The Birth of Amun (Part 1)

  Mei Danzuo was very clever and didn't continue to ask questions. Since Ah Mon had already said he was a divine technique master, then treat him as a divine technique master. Anyway, the identity of a magician wasn't suitable for public discussion. He poured Ah Mon several more cups of wine, eagerly waiting for his response.

  The wine of the dwarf tribe is brewed from wild fruits collected in the mountains, which tastes a bit sour and looks very turbid, but after savoring it carefully, there is also a special sweetness that other wines do not have. Armon had almost finished drinking when he asked: "Medanzo, your great-grandfather was a priest of the Marduk Temple, but his last will violated the temple's teachings, what do you think?"

  Meadows thought for a moment before answering seriously, "He obtained the power granted by the gods in the temple and became a sixth-level divine spellcaster through his hard work. The oath in the temple and his arduous practice were his pay, and he also gained achievements and enjoyment that far surpassed those of ordinary people. If such a god as Marduk really existed, he didn't owe him anything, he had already gotten what he deserved."

  Amon's expression was very focused, as if he was thinking deeply, and then asked: "Who said that?"

  "Meidan Zuo: 'My grandfather told me that this was what my great-grandmother said to comfort him when he was dissatisfied. She also said that if the great god Marduk saved my great-grandfather, he should be especially grateful; if not, then people should face whatever they experience, which is normal.'"

  Amun nodded and said, "Your great-grandmother was indeed a respectable person. Your grandfather lost his eligibility to inherit the priestly position, which is somewhat unfair, but your great-grandfather's experience has nothing to do with Marduk, if there really is such a god... ... Private practice of divine techniques is against the law, what do you think about this?"

  Amon himself was a magician, and he really wanted to know what Medanzo, who also wanted to learn magic privately, thought about this question. Medanzo smiled, lowering his voice and saying: "When you saved me, you also saw those giant iron-clad beasts, they were born with the ability to use a power similar to magic, maybe it was given by the gods, but which temple did they get permission from?"

  Amun also smiled: "Mr. Nietzsche's first learned divine technique, from your ancestor's legacy book, should be grateful in his heart, and the old man's gratitude is my gratitude. Teaching you divine techniques is not impossible, but you are already a mid-level warrior, the earliest awakening is the power of blood, you yourself are also very clear that divine techniques and physical techniques cannot be cultivated at the same level."

  As soon as Mei Danzuo heard Ah Mon's words, he immediately stood up and bowed again: "I am also clear about these things, but I am already a mid-level warrior. In theory, I can undergo another power awakening ceremony, and maybe I will be able to awaken the divine power granted by the gods. Even if it's just learning some simple low-level divine techniques... When I become a high-level great warrior in the future, I can..."

  Amon interrupted him: "Let's talk about the future later, I want to use a special method to awaken your power, which may be more troublesome for a mid-level warrior. If it really succeeds, you may have to go through various tests again, and your martial arts will not be able to advance for a long time."

  Mei Dianzuo replied bluntly: "As long as you can teach me divine magic, everything is easy to say!"

  Mai Danzuo came to ask Ah Mon, it can be said that he asked the wrong person but also asked the right person. In short, a pair of confused eggs gathered together. In the temples of various kingdoms on the Tianxu continent, at least fifth-level or higher divine technique masters are required to perform the power awakening ceremony for someone. To hold the second power awakening ceremony for a mid-ranking or high-ranking warrior, only a great divine technique master can do it!

  As for Gabriel's initial awakening of the divine power granted to Maria, that was a special case. Maria was a candidate for sainthood and had also received the tears of the gods, and Gabriel himself possessed mid-tier divine magic as a great warrior. This situation is almost impossible to occur in others, and it has never been heard of before that a second-tier divine magician awakened the power of a fourth-tier warrior for the second time.

  Amun didn't know any of this, the old madman hadn't told him, and Medanzo, who wasn't qualified to learn divine magic, wasn't clear about these subtleties either. But what Amun was thinking in his heart wasn't that kind of ceremony in the temple, he didn't understand it either, he just pondered and started from scratch, summoning the power of both sides for Medanzo.

  "I can try my way to see if it works, but I don't dare guarantee success. After all, there are very few people who can awaken the 'power granted by the gods'. Wait for me a few days, and I'll think about it again before finding you."

  Mei Danzuo was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "As long as you are willing to try, I will be grateful. If it really doesn't work out, it can only prove that I am not lucky enough, and I will give up on this idea."

  The old madman had told Amun that it wouldn't hurt to test the methods he knew or was still guessing about on someone else. Normally, Amun wouldn't have dared to use people as experimental subjects, but Medanzo had come of his own accord and volunteered himself, so why not give it a try?

  After saying this, Meidanzuo hadn't left yet, with a slightly awkward smile, and continued to say: "Respected divine technique master, the dwarf tribe here regards you as an envoy of the gods. The tribal leader Lin Ke told me that he is willing to provide you with all kinds of assistance. Since you agreed to teach me divine techniques, Lin Ke also wants to learn. What conditions do you need to meet in order to teach him?"

  Mai Dangzuo was quite clever and didn't ask "can I" but asked "what conditions are needed". One sheep is driven, a flock of sheep is also driven. Ah Meng thought for a moment and replied: "I can try too, I need to talk to him in person, you call him over."

  Lin Ke was waiting outside the door, and Mei Danzuo called out to him, and he came in with a smile. By this time, a jar of wine had been drunk, and no one noticed that a plate of meat had disappeared. It's unknown how Xue Ding'e ate it, and wasn't afraid of burning his paws on the hot stone. Ah Mon told Mei Danzuo to go back and rest, leaving Lin Ke alone, chatting about the situation in the tribe, vaguely discovering that this tribe and its leader might have some connection with himself.

  This is a large tribe of several hundred people, occupying this highland mountain alone, with the most lush forests and the most abundant hunting grounds. The surrounding tribes cannot compete with them. One of the main reasons is that this tribe can smelt iron ore, and there are several furnaces in the cave on the cliff.

  The smelting craftsmanship has been passed down for generations, and it is said that Link's great-grandfather's great-grandfather learned it from outside the mountain. Link's great-grandfather's great-grandfather was once captured in a tribal war and then sold as a slave to a distant town outside the mountain, mainly doing mining, excavation, and smelting work, with extremely harsh conditions.

  He stayed in the town for twenty years, learned a lot, and even became a small foreman managing other slaves in the mine. He finally found an opportunity to escape and brought seven or eight cave dwellers back to the deep mountains. The iron smelting technique of this tribe has been passed down since then. However, there is only language but no text in the tribe, not even the chief knows how to read and write, so there are no detailed records.

  Link asked with a worried tone: "Messenger of the gods, can one learn divine magic even if they are illiterate?"

  If it were in a temple outside, the answer would be no, but Amun thought for a moment and replied: "Learning is possible, but it's a lot of trouble. You'd better learn to recognize characters too."

  Link was so thrilled that he almost jumped up, but quickly knelt down and bowed to say: "So you're agreeing, thank the messenger of the gods! What are your orders? I'm willing to gather the whole tribe to serve. If my tribesmen ask me which god gave me power, I'll definitely say it's Amun!"

  Amon startled him, the old madman made him unlock the secrets of the gods or not, but this dwarf elder was good, one mouthful and he gave a "Amon God" hat, this god is too cheap! Amon waved his hand and said: "No need to be like this, I also can't guarantee that it will definitely succeed, it depends on you. Since I promised Medanzzo, I might as well promise you, but I feel like you seem to know a bit of divine technique, the staff in your hand is that of a divine technique master?"

  "This is the tribe leader's scepter, I also know a bit of the divine technique you mentioned, it has been passed down from generation to generation among the tribe leaders, only those who have learned it are qualified to become the tribe leader."

  Lin Ke also knew a little simple and crude divine technique, which belonged to the earth element divine technique in the elemental divine technique, but it was only some of the most basic and simplest applications. He didn't even know what the earth element divine technique was, let alone learn it thoroughly. There were no written records in the tribe, so he couldn't possibly be clear about its specific origin.

  ……

  So Amun settled down in the tribe of cave people, as a messenger of the gods, and was treated almost like a "god" here, teaching two students by the way. After pondering for several days, Amun brought Medanzo and Link to a secluded place and had a private conversation with them.

  "No matter what you've learned before, now I want to start from the very beginning of the ritual, especially you, Maidens. Don't think about what kind of power is being awakened, whether it's a divine gift or a dormant power in your bloodline. Don't even think that this is the second awakening ceremony. Let's just start everything from scratch."

  Awakening the power also awakens desire, it's unclear whether this desire comes from the body or the soul, as it is two sides of the same coin. You need to learn how to face it without being controlled by it. The first thing you need to learn is how to put your mind in a state of focus and introspection. Pray to this Earth's Pupil, I'll temporarily entrust it to both of you, one day each, taking turns using it.

  "Lin Ke, you must remember to train your body like a warrior of the tribe, or learn the skills of martial arts from Medanzo. And Medanzo, you must forget what is divine and what is martial, for you are awakening a power without knowing which god has granted it, this prayer may be difficult, but one can reach that state of concentration and introspection."

  Lin Ke cleverly picked up a sentence: "Not difficult, not difficult, it's Ah Meng!"
