Seduce me, please.

  36. Please seduce me, after the flood, on the west side of that land will form a black fire swamp, which is impossible to pass through with a large army, and Hatti's army can only enter the Syrian Desert from the south, then turn northeast to reach there from the edge of the newly formed inland lake. Its north side is still the Assyrian Plateau blocked by mountains, and the Assyrian army needs to cross the plateau to enter there.

  Its east side is still the steep and deep mountain forest of the Youdi River Valley, which is a natural barrier. The area south of Lake Inland is still a desert. The armies of Balen and Egu can only enter from the east and west directions, cross the desert, and then head north to reach their destination.

  This region is naturally geographically isolated from all surrounding countries, with difficult supply lines for distant expeditions, so once a war breaks out, the consumption and casualties are particularly heavy! If someone takes the lead in occupying this place, establishing a city-state and manor, having a military and economic supply base, they will have an obvious advantage. —— Anyone with vision can see this point.

  Just because of this, a big war between countries is likely to be inevitable, and the fertile land will be filled with blood, fire and smoke. The flood was what Enlil called a blessing, and a brand new fertile land appeared on the continent of Tianxu, which could have been a prosperous and peaceful home for people, but Ge Lie seemed to have seen the arrival of another disaster, which was also the result of people's own choice.

  Although the song is fierce and can be foreseen, it cannot be stopped.

  Gao Lie even analyzed the military strategic situation. Originally, the Assyrian kingdom did not pose a great threat to the Hittite border because their army had to cross the Assyrian plateau, and the cost of launching a war was too high to be worthwhile. But after the situation changed, it's uncertain, with enough benefits people will be willing to pay the price. Crossing the plateau from a high vantage point, from a military perspective, Assyria is actually in the most advantageous position, but its national strength is relatively weak.

  From the perspective of war supply lines, it is naturally most advantageous for the Hittite Kingdom, after all, the Woye where Deke Town is located is closest to the Xuya City-State. However, from a strength perspective, the Egou Empire in the southwest is the strongest. The national power of Balen in the southeast is equivalent to that of Hatti, and the supply line is not very long, only need to start from the lower reaches of the Youdi River and cross the Xuya Desert.

  The situation in each country has its pros and cons, and it seems that no one can gain an absolute upper hand. As for all this, Song Lie can only analyze the situation based on experience, and cannot use great prophecy to draw conclusions. Even if Assyria and Babylon are not considered, a war will inevitably break out again between Hatti and Egypt in the foreseeable future!

  The mighty Egyptian Empire subjugated Hatti decades ago, but due to the distant geographical location, large-scale and long-term military supplies were too difficult, so Egypt was also unable to incorporate the Hittite kingdom into its territory at that time. In order to weaken the contradictions of resistance and achieve the most favorable rule, the Pharaoh of Egypt allowed the Hittite Kingdom to retain its original temple, but had to build a temple for Horus as well, and pay tribute as a vassal state.

  Nowadays, many people in the Hati Kingdom have been dissatisfied for a long time and are unwilling to accept this fate of subjugation for decades. Some people have been secretly accumulating strength and waiting for an opportunity to revolt. The last time Shao Mozhou ambushed Lord Dick's convoy and attempted to seize the Tears of the Gods was also for this reason.

  For the Akkadian Empire, the reason for not being able to annex Hatti was the obstruction of the ocean and desert, making it difficult to thoroughly govern this region in a local administrative form. But now that a vast piece of uninhabited fertile land has appeared, the situation is different. Occupying there and conducting immigration is not only expanding territory but also an important strategic and economic base for deterring various countries.

  There must be someone in the upper echelons of the Aiju Empire who also understands the growing strength of the Hatti Kingdom's resistance. The geographical conditions have suddenly changed, and from a strategic point of view, the best choice is to take the initiative and send an expeditionary army to occupy the fertile fields around Du Ke Town, extending its territory to this place.

  Kale's conclusion of this series of analysis, if you really want to see it, still needs time. The geographical and climatic changes he predicted with the Great Prophecy Technique will take at least three to five years to truly stabilize and form that fertile land. For now, within one or two years, there won't be any disputes, and the area around Deke Town is still a desolate and uninhabited swamp.

  A month later, Ge Lie walked out of the secret room, his expression even more exhausted than after the flood receded last time. However, he didn't have time to rest and instead called his students Hua Leite, Raphael, and Governor Xiao Mo, the three high priests, to the temple one by one for a private long talk, without anyone else knowing what Ge Lie said.

  Then Gallete left the city-state of Syria and returned to the Hatti Divine Technique Academy in the capital, where he stayed for a year without leaving or asking about anything. Before that, Gallete often returned to the capital, where he still held a position at the Divine Technique Academy, but every so often he would return to Syria to handle temple affairs, and also conducted various divine technique research and guidance work at the academy.

  But this time it was completely different, Song Lie completely ignored the affairs of the Suya Temple and rarely appeared in public at the Hati Academy of Magic, claiming that he would study complex and profound magic, closing his doors to visitors. His prestige in the city-state of Suya was unmatched, but doing so in the imperial capital was bound to invite criticism. Many people criticized Song Lie through various channels, accusing this great magician of being derelict in his duties.

  Some people suggested that another divine priest should replace Ge Lie as the chief priest of the Syrian Temple, and let him take a virtual title in the Divine Academy to study divination. The head of the Divine Academy went to visit and persuade Ge Lie, but the result was unknown. King Lucille of Hati specially sent an envoy to interrogate Ge Lie, but the result was also unclear.

  The treatment of a great god wizard is always cautious, and even the king does not know for what reason he has been slow to express his opinion. After dragging on for a long time, the Hatti priestly conference finally decided to discuss whether to revoke Galen's position in the Syrian temple. At this time, Galen suddenly appeared again in the Academy of Magic, and people were shocked to learn that he had become a ninth-level great god wizard!

  All the skeptical voices dissipated, and it turned out that this great master was indeed devoted to cultivating his divine skills, unable to be disturbed by anything external. He had already broken through to the highest realm of the ninth level. What trivial matters were worth quibbling over? The people who had previously impeached and criticized him suddenly changed their attitude, and they all sent their most valuable congratulations to Ge Lie. Ge Lie smiled indifferently and accepted them all, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  King Lucille of Hatty specially set a banquet to congratulate Gelei, and the elders of the Academy of Divine Arts and important officials of the palace also attended. The king and his ministers had a pleasant conversation. After the banquet, the king summoned Gelei alone for a long private talk. People were speculating that the king might want to keep Gelei in the capital to take on more important positions, such as the High Priest of Hatty's main temple.

  However, this guess was in vain. The next day, Ge Lie bid farewell to everyone and returned to the distant border city of Xuya, continuing to serve as the chief deity officer of Xuya City.

  Ge Lai closed the door and cultivated for a year without asking about worldly affairs, becoming a 9th-level great divine magician. The news quickly spread to the city-state of Xuya. When Ge Lai's carriage entered the west gate of Xuya City, people surged out of the city like a tide to welcome him, as if welcoming the arrival of a god. Ge Lai's reputation in this land reached an unprecedented peak.

  As expected, the city-state of Syria, which was cut off from neighboring countries and borders, has been peaceful for a year, and the tranquility has made people feel a bit bored. The return of Song Lie to the city is naturally something worth celebrating, and the long-awaited excitement has finally arrived.

  Raphael has already become a 5th-level divine spellcaster, and this young man's talent was originally very good. This progress is not unexpected. Hilarry is still a 6th-level divine spellcaster. It is extremely difficult to advance from the 6th level to the 7th level. The vast majority of divine spellcasters will be blocked at this threshold for their entire lives, otherwise, great divine spellcasters would not have such a transcendent status.

  The governor, Xiao Mo, finally let out a sigh of relief. For the past year, everyone in the city-state had been living a leisurely and peaceful life, but this ruler was secretly very tense, yet no one knew what he was tense about. It seemed that he wanted Ge Lie to return and take charge more than anyone else, which was somewhat strange, because with Ge Lie absent, Xiao Mo was the most respected person here, holding all the actual power, and Ge Lie's absence was even more beneficial to his position.

  It was on the same day that Gale returned to Syria City with great fanfare, but in a distant valley of the highlands, Amun quietly left the Cave People's tribe and embarked on an unknown journey alone. Why did Amun leave at this time? The story begins several months ago - three months ago, when Amun was practicing his physical skills, he felt a lot of pressure, as if there was a small mountain pressing down on him whenever he used the power in his blood vessels beyond a certain limit, and all his joints were cracking, as if someone had cast a restrictive spell on him.

  All warriors will encounter similar phenomena before advancing to the next level, and they must have great perseverance and persistence in training to make a breakthrough. Some people simply cannot bear it, and their martial arts skills naturally cannot advance. Others persist in training but still cannot break through forever, not everyone can become a mid-level warrior.

  Ah Mon was well aware that the trial of "Bloodline Purity" had arrived, and he had finally brought his Tier 3 Body Technique to its peak. He had previously undergone the trial of "Physical Purity", which allowed his body to recover its innate healthy state, free from any hidden injuries. Now, with the cultivation of his technique, his physique had also undergone acquired improvements to adapt to the growth of his strength. This trial would eliminate many people who were not good enough or lacked innate physical qualities despite their hard work.

  Amon was accustomed to hardship from a young age, he started learning the mining skills of Duketown at the age of twelve, which was absolutely hard labor, and every night he had to endure the torture of the icy spring water, so he didn't find it too difficult, his physical training had never been interrupted.

  He was just a little surprised, from level one to level three of power, he broke through very quickly, thinking that the time to face the next test would not be long, but the result was that he had been cultivating for more than a year. In fact, this is already fast enough, and he seems to have forgotten that he is only fifteen years old, which is the period of youth development.

  In theory, this is the golden age for advancing to a mid-tier warrior, with physical development progressing in sync with improvements in physique, achieving optimal results. However, in reality, it's extremely difficult, such as Meidan Zuo who trained diligently from a young age and only advanced to 4th rank in his early twenties.

  Ah Meng previously cultivated the power of both sides, from level one to level three breakthroughs so quickly, because his foundation was laid well. However, entering from a lower rank to an intermediate rank is a more difficult threshold, and his speed has already been astonishing.

  Amon spent three months to get rid of the internal constraint, feeling that his body was so light and comfortable. In his veins, a power seemed to be flowing, which could be mobilized at will and even condensed and released outside the body. If this power was strong enough, it could even counter many divine techniques.

  This means Amun has become a 4th rank intermediate warrior.

  The process of testing was very long, but the test itself was very sudden. One day, while practicing body techniques, the entangled pressure in his body suddenly disappeared, and Ah Mon felt a sense of relief, as if life had been reborn. He swung his staff like an iron rod, and the heavy staff seemed to be as light as a real branch. The power inside his body, which was like flowing water, burst out, and the tip of the staff emitted a faint layer of light.

  Like a small mountain, it was heavy when swung, and like a feather, it fell lightly. Amun wasn't proficient in many martial arts techniques, but the moves he used were still the same as those for excavating mineral cores. The staff struck a rock with almost no sound, and the hard stone immediately turned into countless fragments. Amun couldn't help but think to himself: "If I could control this power to excavate divine stones, wouldn't it be much more convenient?"

  He still lacks sufficient experience and can only think of analogies based on his past experiences.

  On the night of the day he passed the test, Amun sat quietly in his room and took out the Earth's Pupil. He didn't rush to read the information inside, but instead raised his hand and a circle of flames appeared around his body again. This was the intermediate fire wall technique that he had already mastered.

  The wall of flames danced around him three feet away, and Amun suddenly snapped his fingers mischievously. The shape of the wall of flames changed accordingly, becoming a stationary ring of fire bars surrounding him. Amun then beckoned with his hand, and the top of the fire bars extended inward, forming a huge birdcage-like flame that trapped him in the middle.

  Amon thought it was fun and laughed in the darkness. This move was a spatial divine technique, and there was no such thing as a low-level spatial divine technique - spatial divine techniques started at mid-level. Being able to use two mid-level divine techniques simultaneously was already the basic standard for testing a fourth-level divine technique master in the temple, let alone Amon didn't even use his staff.

  Amun, who was playing the divine game, nodded secretly and put away the fire basket, which triggered the Earth's Pupil. As expected, another message left by the old madman appeared in front of him - "Kid, maybe I should congratulate you. When you read this divine technique information, you are already a fourth-level magician. I'm not sure if you've found out where Bell is, but if you can't find it, now I have a suggestion: why don't you become a magician and use your warrior identity as cover in daily life?"

  "There is more than one way to unlock the secrets of the divine, you might want to refer to what Bell did back then. I think the new High Priestess Maria at Ishtar's temple would get along with you quite well, after you become a great magician, don't hesitate to find an opportunity to have a deeper conversation with her. I have high hopes for you, you will definitely do better than Bell."

  The tone of the old madman was playful, seemingly serious yet joking at the same time, just like his usual irreverent demeanor. The following information introduced some intermediate divine techniques, but not many, as many types of intermediate divine techniques had already been introduced before.

  In addition to various intermediate divine techniques, the information also includes new content that has not been seen before, such as how to create divine artifacts, such as making wands and writing scrolls. Writing scrolls requires divine script, so the information also introduces the specific form of divine script writing and how to interpret it.

  The old madman's voice finally said: "I am not only an eighth-level great magician, but also one of the best master craftsmen on this continent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make that staff for you. It wasn't completed in just a few days. That fine iron ingot at your home, I had secretly processed it many times over the years, and only finally made it into a staff to give to you before you left.

  Mastering the creation of these magical objects may be useful to you, but remember that they are after all a skill that relies on external objects and not the cultivation of magical abilities themselves. They can be used in critical moments, but one must not become obsessed with this technique and deviate from the most fundamental direction.

  "There was once a great magician named Nero, who broke through the 7th level of achievement at the age of twenty and was hailed as a magical genius. However, he became obsessed with creating scrolls and became the greatest scroll maker in all of Egypt. But for over forty years after that, he never broke through to the 8th level, and thirty years ago, he disappeared while chasing after Bell. I think he could have become a 9th-level magician, you must remember this lesson."

  The old madman predicted the coming of disaster and arranged the path that Amun would have to take, but he was not omnipotent. He did not know whether Amun could find Bell's whereabouts, and the information in the divine technique had become a kind of backup reminder at this time. If Amun couldn't find Bell's whereabouts, then according to the guidance of the Earth's Pupil, he could still become a great magician step by step like Bell back then.

  The old madman taught Amun the way to write the scrolls of Amon at the most appropriate stage, but it was not clear that Amun had already learned from Bell's notes. He also introduced the deeds of Nero, reminding Amun to learn a lesson, but never thought that Nero's relics would also fall into Amun's hands. It wasn't until then that Amun realized that the owner of the staff and ring was such a famous scroll maker.

  Just now still in the naughty game, Ah Meng sighed and put away the Earth's Eye, kneeling on the ground, facing the direction of Du Ke Town in the west, his lips kissing the mud. Although this is not the soil of Du Ke Town, it also belongs to the same land. He has decided to leave, continue to practice the fourth-level divine technique and body technique during the journey, waiting for the "Devil's Temptation" in that unknown mountain outside the world.

  Lin Ke was sitting quietly in contemplation when he suddenly heard a voice: "Come to the Grand Mountain Cave, don't disturb the others, I'll be waiting for you there."

  This was Amun's voice calling out with the Information God Technique, he quickly scrambled to his feet, habitually picking up that bone stick and quietly ran out of the house. When he arrived at the large cave, Amun was already waiting for him, standing behind the fire heap facing the stone wall.

  "Ah-Mun god," Lin Ke hastily asked, "You summoned me here in the middle of the night, what's the important matter?"

  Amon turned around, handed over a dark yellow staff with seven divine stones inlaid in a spiral pattern, and smiled: "You became a third-level magician two months ago, and your martial arts also broke through the third level. I promised to give you a real staff long ago. How about this one, are you satisfied?"
