Volume 1 Flood 105, Return it to you

  Lin Ke smiled and said, "Ah, Amun god, now this place is still desolate, but I have already seen a prosperous city in my eyes. If Iso is really such a person, he will be great whether as a financial officer or an agricultural officer in the future. These are secondary, on this fertile land to establish a brand new home, every day there is harvest, every day can witness new creation. As long as there is such a heart, life is full of positive meaning."

  Mai Dianzuo laughed and gave him a punch, saying: "You moved from that ghostly place in the deep mountains to here, the whole tribe cheered, of course you would think so. Others may not say it, but this remark is indeed reasonable, it seems that your learning from Ah Meng God was not in vain."

  Amun nodded and said, "This time when I return to the Dream Flying City, I will tell Iso about this matter. If he is willing, Medanzo, I will have you escort him over... Since you've discussed this principle, I have a question that I want to ask seriously: You already possess the six-level achievement of having two sides with one body, and the test you are about to face is the fusion of faith. So, please examine your heart, what is your true desire and the path you wish to take? Don't tell me it's becoming a great magician or a great warrior, that's just a result in the process."

  The two men stopped smiling, and Link said seriously: "My wish is simple. I want to lead my people out of the deep mountains and establish a peaceful home. I want to see this vast wilderness become a brand new city-state, and build a temple for the God Amun. I am the one who will witness and complete all these things."

  Amun smiled and said, "The temple is not in a hurry, let's wait until the first inner city wall has taken shape before we talk about it. Since you are willing to worship Mu Yun Goddess, then carve an image for her."

  Lin Ke: "Amon God, what we want to establish is your temple."

  Ammon smiled: "No hurry, just leave me a position."

  "I used to think that recovering my noble status and ancestral titles was the most important thing, but when I actually achieved it, I realized that it wasn't what I truly desired. I'm a person who constantly seeks and discovers new things, having witnessed the miracle of Amun, I just want to continue witnessing, exploring the ultimate power that exists."

  Amun smiled and said, "Alright then, go verify it. To break through the seventh level of achievement, it's not just about increasing power, but also a breakthrough in one's heart and mind, which can't be explained in words. Mei Dan will return to Egu with me tomorrow, and Lin Ke will lead the tribe to continue doing well here."

  The enormous wealth obtained from the Mu Yun treasure, Amun could not dare to put it all here, and only left a small part for Lin Ke to prepare for unexpected needs. The next day, he took Xue Dingyao and Mei Dansuo away from this vast isolated island surrounded by swamps, and set off again through the southern wilderness. The return journey was different from the way they came, Mei Dansuo had successfully passed the trial journey, and Amun also possessed a seventh-level achievement, unknowingly joining the ranks of the top strongmen on the mainland.

  Along the way, they didn't encounter too many dangers. On their way here, they had already roughly mapped out the areas where various monsters were likely to appear. Even when crossing the inland lake and entering the desert, they weren't attacked by a swarm of scorpions. Amun walked at a moderate pace. In this desolate and uninhabited place, it was most suitable for demonstrating high-level divine techniques. This was exactly what Meidansuo, who had just achieved level 6, needed to learn thoroughly.

  Ah Meng himself is also practicing the 7th level of body technique, and only after fully mastering it will he be a qualified great warrior. What's the difference between a 7th-level warrior and a 6th-level warrior? Ah Meng has a deep understanding that the power awakened in his blood can not only be stimulated from within to without, but also can exert this power to the extreme, even controlling the rotation of power in the environment.

  The power in the bloodline has become a way to stimulate energy, which is already very similar to the effect of divine magic, and even more like that profound energy divine magic. The gap between a sixth-level warrior and a sixth-level divine magic user is huge, unless it's a sudden sneak attack at close range or a siege battle in an army formation, it's hard to defeat a same-level divine magic user who has mastered various magical techniques. However, the gap between a seventh-level warrior and a seventh-level divine magic user has narrowed significantly, and they have at least one chance of winning in a face-to-face confrontation.

  No wonder Enqi and others are only willing to practice pure martial arts. If they can bring this power to the highest level, one technique can break through a hundred clever moves, and it's indeed not afraid of any master. However, warriors who can reach Enqi's realm are really rare, and Shentu masters have more means, and Shentu is not just a manifestation of power.

  Along the way, Ah Mon practiced his seventh-level body technique while instructing Mei Danzuo in various high-level divine techniques. The two often engaged in combat training together and occasionally repelled suddenly appearing monsters. In terms of actual combat skills, both made rapid progress during this journey, especially Ah Mon, who appeared unchanged but had become a rare master on the continent, not to mention that he possessed a power with two sides.

  After more than a month, they returned to the Eguch territory and re-entered Cape City. As they were on a secret mission, the two still disguised themselves and did not greet the local authorities.

  At this time, Julian received a letter. The messenger handed the thing to the doorman and left without saying anything, and no one else knew the content of the letter. But on the second night after Julian received the letter, a tragedy occurred in Cape Town, and Fayor-Judas, the secretary of Lord Dick, hanged himself to death, leaving behind a confession before his death.

  Judas confessed in his letter that he was tempted by greed and bribed by Mortos, the treasurer of Syria, not only revealing the military secrets of Cape City but also selling out the spies sent by the Isis Temple to Cape City. Judas' letter also implicated another person, Mistra-Mortos, the treasurer of Syria.

  Judas had bribed Morton with a large sum of money and obtained a considerable amount of confidential information, which was also praised by Lord Dick. On the other hand, Judas also accepted bribes from the other side and leaked a lot of military and political secrets that he knew. These two men were not good guys, and what they did was very interesting - they mutually bribed each other with large sums of money to obtain intelligence. The money used for bribery belonged to the city-state, but after making such an exchange, it became their own, and both of them made great contributions, which was indeed a profitable deal for personal gain.

  When daylight came, the servants found Judas' body hanging from the beam of the house. He had been dead for some time. But one thing was puzzling: apart from the handwritten note on the table, there were thirty silver coins at Judas' feet, and someone had written a line on the ground - "Return to you?"

  It seems that after Judas' death, someone had secretly entered his room. Whether Judas was a suicide or murdered, there were many rumors among those who knew about it. Lord Dick was deeply shocked and angry, but in the end, it was handled as a suicide. However, the lord ordered a secret investigation into the person who wrote on the ground, but no clues were found.

  Only Julian knew how Judas died, and he vaguely guessed who the writer was, but he didn't mention a word. Although this great magician understood in his heart, there was one thing that had always puzzled him - why did someone put thirty silver coins under Judas' body? What kind of symbol is this?

  Although this matter was handled privately, it did not completely cover up. The Syrian city-state also had a spy here, and through Judah's servant, they learned the contents of the will, and the news spread back to Xiao Mo and Ge Lie. As a result, Mi Si Te Mo Dun was taken down for questioning. Judah died, and far away in another place, there were connections, while Amon and Mei Dan Zuo had already left Hai Jiao City-State and returned to Meng Fei Si.

  ……?

  Amon's first thing after returning to Dreamflight City was to come to his own manor and ask Iso if he would be willing to go to the wasteland to assist the Burrower tribe in building a home.

  Aesop readily agreed, and said to Xanthus: "I was once a slave; you have given me the status of a free man. But freedom is not just about being bound or not; it's about witnessing the traces of one's own life, like seeing the trajectory of stars in the sky. I eagerly look forward to this mission, both to repay you and to examine myself. Master Xanthus, if you permit me, I also hope to compile all this into a story that will be passed down among people."

  Amon was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "I know you like to tell stories. The legends of the continent and the past of the gods have all been arranged by you. You are telling the story of the world in your eyes and the wishes in your heart. If what I do becomes a story that people will arrange, if you're willing, go ahead and tell it someday."

  During Amun's absence, Isso not only kept the estate in order but also used the money left by Amun to do business with the servants and earned a lot. Although this money was insignificant to Amun, it showed that Isso was very capable. He sent Medanzo to escort Isso to Link first, and then return to Meng Fei Si to meet up with him. After arranging all of this, he returned to the Isis Temple to report back, while Xue Ding Ruo still lingered among the cats outside the temple.

  It's been half a year since Armon left Dreamflight, and the new captain of the Temple Archives' guard had already taken over. He still lived in his original small courtyard, temporarily receiving only his salary but having nothing to do. The Holy Maiden soon summoned him, with the location being her usual study where she handled affairs. After exchanging formal greetings, Maria once again dismissed the servants.

  This time, without the Holy Maiden's explicit instructions, Gabriel walked out on his own and closed the door behind him. After all, every time Maria saw Amun, she had to speak with him alone. As Gabriel left, he looked back at Amun with a profound gaze, his eyes filled with inquiry and admiration.

  When the two were alone, a habit or tacit understanding had formed between them. They would spend some time not speaking, just looking at each other. In front of the Holy Maiden, Amun couldn't initiate conversation according to etiquette, and Maria spoke after a long while in a hushed tone: "Amun, you've changed again."

  Ammon smiled slightly: "How, don't you recognize me?"

  "Mary gently shook her head and said: 'No, you've become even clearer. The you in my eyes has never been so real as today.'"
