Melancholy Cat (Part 2)

  Among these things, there is still a part that is intact. Armon couldn't help but think of Maidanzuo who didn't even have a decent suit of armor, and Link didn't even have a real staff. Making a staff has its own special way, it's not just embedding a divine stone on the bone to make a staff, that's just using the power of a divine stone, looking like a staff.

  As he thought of this, Ah Mon held the bone in his hand and pointed it in all directions, casting a spatial divine technique to infuse the bone with magical power and absorb everything. He barely managed to succeed. In the instant of success, the speed at which the spatial divine technique absorbed things was extremely fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, all objects that had been imbued with his magical power disappeared!

  Amon suddenly let out a short cry of surprise, and with a thud, his body leaned forward and fell to the ground. The bone also slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. His right shoulder hurt so much that it was almost dislocated. If he hadn't let go quickly, his forearm might have broken due to the sudden force of the fall. That bone had become incredibly heavy in an instant, even Amon, a third-level warrior who could kill a cow with one punch and hold such a heavy object with one hand, couldn't lift it.

  But when the bones fell to the ground, they were light and didn't make much noise, as if their weight hadn't increased at all. This feeling was too strange, the spatial artifact had absorbed so many items, and Amun's hand held it as if he had borne the weight of everything, but the bones that fell to the ground were still as light as before, only because Amun, as the caster, couldn't move them!

  No wonder Bell said that a third-level divine magician can use this spatial artifact is just a theory, in fact it's impossible. It seems that more advanced spatial magic has other secrets, and it's not something that Amun can grasp at present.

  Since he couldn't lift it, Amun had a clumsy method. He simply knelt on the ground and grasped the bone with his hands without lifting it up, and once again used his spatial magic to stimulate it. He could sense that there was another space inside the bone, where all sorts of things were stored. He then used his spatial magic to take out these items one by one, and only then did he stand up again, holding the now light-as-air bone.

  Amon thought for half a day with the bone in hand, and finally made a decision. Since he couldn't take everything away, he would pick out the best ones to take, just controlling it within the weight that he could move. The strength of a third-level warrior was already enough to carry many things.

  There were many things that Armon didn't recognize, and he didn't have time to carefully identify them one by one. He only picked out the intact ones, including two sets of armor, four long swords, a shield, three spears, two battle-axes, three staffs, eight scrolls, and even nine scattered ordinary divine stones. After thinking for a moment, he also absorbed Saint Onions' headpiece into his bones.

  These things are quite heavy, and the weight added together is impossible for ordinary people to lift, but Amun can barely pick it up. Then he did an experiment, carefully putting the bones into the shoulder strap pocket and letting go, and as expected, the pocket didn't change at all, indicating that the weight of the bones hadn't increased as much as he felt, otherwise the shoulder strap would have been broken.

  The weight of all objects in the invisible space only acts on this caster's body, which is a bit headache-inducing, but at the same time, he also feels somewhat fortunate. Otherwise, it would be really hard to find a place to put this bone. The bone is in a retracted state and can hold many things as a spatial artifact, but it cannot hold living creatures. Amun had already verified this point when he came, at that time he retracted the invisible large ship and directly threw out all five iron-armored beasts.

  After doing all this, Amun finally pulled the bones out of his leather pouch again, stretched out his hand and pointed at the Tears of the Gods in the air. Sure enough, the divine stone that shone with golden light suddenly disappeared and was sucked into the intangible space of the divine artifact.

  In the mountain's abdomen, a sudden darkness fell, and then the sound of iron-armored beasts roaring and water hitting rocks came from the aqueduct. Amun quickly took out a divine stone and threw it into the air, and soft white light illuminated the surroundings again. Several iron-armored beasts were seen rushing frantically from the aqueduct into the mountain's abdominal hall, their bodies still dripping with water.

  It was at that moment when Ah Mon collected the tears of the gods, the illusory cliff outside that resembled a transparent screen suddenly disappeared, and a wall of water several people high rushed in, flooding the place where several iron-armored beasts were. They didn't know what happened either, and they were scared by the big water, so they hurriedly escaped to report to Ah Mon.

  The old madman once said that Bell was most skilled in Information Sorcery and Spatial Sorcery, and at that time, his mastery of these two sorceries was unmatched throughout the entire Egu Empire. It seems that the "cliff" outside is a kind of sorcerous space created by Bell's activation of the Tears of the Gods, which serves as both a disguise and an obstruction, sealing everything that happened here within the mountain until Amun's arrival.

  At this time, the sky had already darkened, and Amun did not want to risk crossing the dark waters shrouded in darkness amidst the wind and rain. Moreover, he was already quite exhausted from using his powers continuously today and needed a good rest and meditation to recover his strength. He put away the divine stone, and once again, the interior of the mountain fell into darkness. Amun sat upright on the stone pedestal in the darkness, facing the direction of the cave wall with the inscriptions, sitting quietly for an entire night.

  The second day was still windy and rainy, with distant thunder rumbling continuously. As I walked out of the corridor, I saw a vast expanse of floodwater in front of me. The inner recesses of this mountain wall were now directly exposed, and the water surface had overflowed the platform where he had stood before. Under the dark clouds, everything was still dimly lit, but after dawn, one could see the distant mountains.

  Amon transformed the bones into an invisible giant ship, taking Xue Dingyuan and the five iron-armored beasts across the floodwaters on their journey home.

  Whether it was a person, a cat or an iron armored beast that had lost its home, each had their own thoughts. This road was almost silent, with the invisible big ship drifting slowly on the floodwaters. When the bones unfolded into an invisible big ship to carry them across the water, they could also see things that Amun had captured in the invisible space piled up on the ship. It should be said that Xue Dingyuan should have been very interested at this moment, but instead he looked excited and eager to enter the mountain belly.

  Ammon felt that the cat's emotions were a bit off, looking very melancholy. Xue Ding'e used to be lazy and greedy, but later became arrogant and loved to show off, but had never seen it so melancholic! This melancholic cat made Ammon feel somewhat unaccustomed.

  The old madman is dead, and today it was finally confirmed that Bell had fallen thirty years ago. This is not good news, of course. Although he got the information he wanted, everything should be perfect, but Amun's expression was inexplicably heavy and looked very worried. No one could talk to him about anything, so he spoke to the cat: "Schrodinger, what's wrong with you? You look like you're in a lot of pain. Are you also heartbroken over Bell and Congrui?"

  The cat crouched at the bow of the boat as if it hadn't heard him, and didn't even bother with him.

  Amun asked: "Xue Dingyuan, are you looking for something that you can't find? Can you tell me... Also, what is your origin and why do you write divine texts?"

  Xue Dingyan still looked at the front with a worried face, continuing to treat Ah Mon as air.

  Amun pondered for half a day, and finally asked the doubts in his heart: "Xue Dingyuan, are you also a divine spirit? Why can't the Eye of Providence detect your existence? Or is someone's soul sealed in the body of a cat?"

  Xue Dingyuan let out a sneeze and suddenly lay down on the ground, pretending to sleep, completely ignoring Ah Meng.

  Ammon was speechless and finally said: "It's been a day and night without eating, Xue Ding'e, are you hungry? I'll make something delicious for you!"

  Xue Dingyuan didn't react, but the iron-armored beast king suddenly let out a sneeze, looked at Ah Mon with a low hum. What food is on this boat? Unless you slaughter the iron-armored beast and roast it.

  ……

  Amon suddenly left the village and didn't come back for a whole day and night, Link and the villagers were very anxious but didn't know where he went. Everyone waited anxiously at the two entrances of the village from early morning, feeling a little flustered as if they had lost something most important.

  As it approached noon, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Look quickly, that is the servant of the gods! That divine cat!"

  Xue Dingyuan emerged from the woods, his worried expression matched by his lazy gait, as if he hadn't even seen the people standing at the village entrance. Lin Ke, carrying a bone stick, had already run out of the village to greet him, but suddenly jumped high and let out a loud "Ah" before turning around and running back.

  Only to see behind Xue Dingrui, a dense forest, five huge iron armored beasts emerged in a row, and the middle one was the iron armored beast king that almost took Lin Ke's life. However, these iron armored beasts looked very strange, following behind Xue Dingrui slowly crawling, just like five gentle little kittens.

  Seeing the "brave and wise" tribal leader being scared like this, the cave-dwelling people were also in a state of panic, shouting out in surprise. Some had already prepared to run back and fetch their weapons. At this time, a voice shouted: "Don't be alarmed, these iron-armored beasts have been tamed by me, I brought them back!" Along with the voice, Amun walked out of the woods, holding an iron branch staff.

  The crowd's cries of surprise turned to cheers, and Link, who was running back, turned around again and came forward, shouting from a distance: "Oh Ammon God, you're finally back! The tribesmen have been waiting for you, you've brought miracles!" He was very happy but didn't dare to get close, still hiding from those giant iron beasts, with a lingering fear.

  "Amon said: 'I'm going to the flood to do something, and I'll rescue these wild beasts along the way. Don't worry about me. Link, come with me, I have something to ask you.'"

  After the people of the same clan dispersed, Lin Ke ordered someone to bring delicious roasted meat, which was a deer that had just been hunted yesterday, and it was fragrant with added seasonings. Amun first handed a plate to Xue Ding'e and put it down well before letting Lin Ke sit down to eat with him.

  Those iron-clad beasts stayed quietly outside the house where Armon lived, and the tribesmen all hid far away, not daring to get close. Link had also been pulling on Armon's sleeve when he came in just now, not daring to leave his side for a single step.
