172, the road to heaven

Moses and other tribes need guidance for faith, and disciples such as Medanzo also need guidance for faith, and Amon, who is exploring alone, needs a belief even more. At this time, Amon may not be clear about what a grand wish he clearly believed when he passed through the Syrian desert. If he wanted to fulfill it, it was definitely not a realm that ordinary gods could possess, and would run through the entire life after transcending eternal life.

...

Amon walked neither fast nor slow, but he did not stop at a single step. He had entered a state of selflessness, and had not rested or eaten for many days, as if he was walking in a river that was endless. This was an incredible experience. I have never heard of anyone who broke through the endless test and mastered the ninth level of the original power while rushing to the road, but Amon was like this.

When that soul in thinking walked out of the Syrian desert, it seemed that it had also passed through many lifetimes, like a drop of water that was almost invisible in the stormy waves, but was not submerged and destroyed in the end.

How to describe this feeling? When walking in the sun, he is like a drop of water, reflecting and reflecting various colors in the world. After experiencing many life experiences, it is like a bird flying over the mirror again and again, leaving a clear reflection disappearing again and again. When Amon opened his eyes to see this world again, he suddenly realized that there are countless him in the eyes of different people, like endless experiences. These countless thoughts reflect and gather the shadows he left in this world, as if they were countless incarnations, which need to be confirmed one by one, and finally verify the clear self.

With such achievements, you can be called a god on the Tianshu Continent, as if you have endless life and can also have the realm of the source of divine power to absorb the power to strengthen and repair the soul. When you come back to your senses, Amon couldn't help but sigh that if you don't take this step, some things will never be understood. He was also thinking about another thing - maybe you need to build a place.

Amon had realized how dangerous his experience was. He was storming with storm waves in silence. He actually entered the meditation state while walking, and passed the endless test of life. Out of instinctive self-protection, he used his magic power to hide his traces and walked in the desolate desert without being disturbed by accident. Due to his long-term habit of using magical techniques, his magic power was profound and long, and he could sneak unknowingly for a month without any confusion. If he did not do any of them, he could not get through.

When he recalled the test of losing power and reshaping himself, his situation was quite dangerous. If he was on the battlefield or in other fighting environments, he might not survive! The price of achieving success is huge, and this price is not only a test itself but also a situation on earth. He did not want his disciples to take risks like himself. If he already knew what he had on the road, he had to rely on luck to break through. This is not courage but stupidity.

The place he wanted to build was not a city-state like Salem City, but a place like the Jiulian Temple where the messengers of the Aju Jiulian Gods lived. It has a strange space separation from the outside world, and is very good practice environment. It is suitable for disciples to meditate in concentration. At specific times, it can also provide protection that other places on earth do not have. Such a place is not a real kingdom, but a cave where the gods live in the so-called myths and legends.

Amon had chosen a place in his heart and gave it a name called "Eden". There are still many things to do now. When the city of Salem gains a foothold on the Duke Plain, then gather his disciples to plan the morning Eden.

...

A month later, at the Syrian border of Hati Kingdom, an idle soldier was staring into the distance, and suddenly a man came from the desolate Gobi Desert. He couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking that he had seen it, and that man appeared out of thin air!

When he put down his hand, he was sure that he was right. There was really a man who came across the desert. He had no car or horse and didn't even carry a package! He quickly grabbed his weapon and shouted, "Who did you come from? Where did you do?"

The man replied loudly, "My name is Amon, from Eju, come to duel with her at the promise of Celia, the great magician of the palace in your country!"

The entire garrison of the entire checkpoint was alarmed. The commander quickly sounded the horn of the assembly and led the soldiers to line up to greet him. He stood at the intersection and saluted at Amon and said, "The noble master Gelie and the governor of the Syrian city-state, Lord Xiao Mo, have already given orders. No matter where General Amon enters Hati, he will receive you with the most solemn etiquette, sending carriages and guards to escort you to the city-state and arrange everything. We have the best carriage here for you, and I will personally send you to the city-state."

Amon smiled: "I claim to be Amon, neither have tokens nor have you identified your identity. Are you just receiving such a grand reception?"

The level commander replied: "Apart from General Amon, who is intimidating the nations, who has the same demeanor as you, you travel across the desert with your hands and walk alone. Besides, I have seen you on the battlefield!"

Amon was welcomed into the level, and the commander wanted to keep him for dinner and ordered the carriage and guards to prepare. Amon waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm going to the duel. Let's go to visit after the duel. Please tell the Syrian city-state, and say that Amon has entered Hati and will wait for the great master Celia at the designated location."

The chief said anxiously: "But Lord Gelie said hello, he wants to see you."

Amon smiled: "I will meet naturally when it's time to meet. I still have some things to do, so I won't bother you for the time being."

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and appeared far away. Then his figure flashed a few times and disappeared. Everyone was stunned. Not to mention that these border checkpoints were ordered to welcome Amon, even if they wanted to stop Amon, it would be impossible for Amon to stop him. With Amon's achievements today, they were almost the same as those gods on earth. The reason why he appeared and walked through the checkpoint was that he wanted Gelie to say hello.

...

Amon entered Eju and headed straight to the east shore of the Inland Lake, the southern end of the Black Fire Swamp, which was very close to the duel between him and Celia, and was the place where Yunmeng came to meet. Coming from the Duke Plain, he had to travel through the shrub area of ​​trees and thorns and large silt swamps. There was no way to go, but he could not stop the Iron Armored Beast King who had grown up in the swamp since childhood.

He not only saw Yunmeng in the bushes beside the swamp, but also Link and Aesop. When the two beasts saw Amen, they saluted. The Iron Armored Beast King pressed his front paws and pointed his big head down. The movements were quite good. Aesop was happy when he saw it. He asked with a smile: "I just asked Yunmeng to meet up. Why are you two here too? Aesop, didn't I ask Medanzo to take you to Mengfeisi to find Sio? How could he appear here?"

Aesop replied: "How come you have been on this road for so long? I have returned from Meng Feisi and negotiated with Siou to organize a caravan to Salem City, but the premise is that there must be a road. After I returned to Salem City, Link and Yunmeng had already explored a route in the swamp. I want to conduct a field investigation and judge the time it takes to pass the caravan, what dangers will be on the road, what preparations should be made, and how much the price is? We know that you are coming, so we wait here specifically. We have been waiting for more than ten days."

Amon has indeed used it for a while, and he didn't even expect to walk for so long, but he passed the endless test, and one month is amazing enough!

Many things have happened in the past month. Medanzo took Aesop and quietly arrived at Meng Feisi to find the noble and wealthy businessman Siou. Siou's business is getting bigger and bigger. A year ago, he received a large amount of investment from Amon to expand the scale of the business in various city-states and buy a large number of camel carriages and horses.

This is obviously a preparation for large-scale long-distance trade. For the time being, it is just a waste of money and cannot fully use it. But the money was given by Amon, so Sio of course did it. Sio also knew about Amon's departure from the Eju Empire. He was also worried about Amon's situation and was worried that his future business might not be easy to do. He worked as a logistics quarantine officer of the An-La Legion and made many generals in the war. Now many large businesses are in cooperation with the official business. If Amon is lost, he may have cut off important financial resources.

At this moment, Medanzo brought Aesop, the former slave of the noble and wealthy businessman, to visit and talked about a very important business.

Today, a new city-state is being built in the Duke Plain, named Salem City, where Aesop served as the chief executive. The construction of a new city-state certainly requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. Medanzo asked Heo to organize caravans from various commercial banks to transport supplies to the Salem City. The rich products in the Duke Plain can also be transported out for transactions, which is a mutually beneficial transaction between the two parties.

They specially found Siou, hoping to get a steady stream of military supplies. On the other hand, the city of Salem has no trade with the outside world today, because the road is blocked and people have not seen the benefits. Large merchants like Siou took the lead in finding out the business path and also set demonstrations and guidance for others.

It is necessary to explain Amon's current subtle identity. Although he killed Prince Sneck and left Eju, he was not publicly wanted by the empire. He seemed to have become a person who deliberately avoided talking about it. On the one hand, of course, because of the scene of his killing Prince Sneck, there were thousands of soldiers testifying. The prince ordered the attack first and the general took action in self-defense. On the other hand, the reason why the pharaoh sent Sneck to perform this task was that he had the intention of killing people with a knife.

Prince Sneck is the eldest son of Rassis II, not a supporter of the Reformation of Elakht. Having his own power in the country is one of the factors of political instability. Now that he is killed by Amon, Elakht can only enjoy secretly. Before the general leaves Elakht, he also uses his last "remaining heat".

A peace treaty has been signed between Hathi and Eju and resumed trade. It is completely reasonable and legal to organize caravans in the name of trading with the Syrian city-state. The so-called military supplies do not necessarily refer to armor and weapons. All items and materials that may be used for marching and combat are counted. Processed finished or semi-finished products are naturally the best. This kind of transaction often requires military relations or background.

到达哈梯之后,商队还要通过叙亚城邦控制的地盘,所以阿蒙打算找歌烈谈谈,其中一件事就是为了打开通道.

Aesop gave Sio a list of materials needed in Salem City and things produced in the Duke Plain. It was profitable and the instructions of the benefactor Amon, which was on the surface normal and legal cross-border trade. Sio of course nodded and agreed and immediately made preparations. However, doing business requires accounting costs. In addition to the taxes at various border checkpoints, there are also risks and freight on the way, which is difficult for anyone to determine before the road is opened.

Link had already explored the way in the Black Fire Swamp as Amon told. The road that could be opened in the shortest time was found by Yunmeng with four large iron-armored beasts. He was winding in the Black Fire Swamp, passing intermittently through the hard land exposed to the water, and finally leading to the east bank of the Inland Lake. However, it is not easy to open up this road. It is necessary to fill the low-lying areas, eradicate the shrubs and thorns along the way, and carve out some rugged strange rocks. If all the people in Salem City are used, it will take at least half a year.

After Aesop returned to Salem City, he asked to follow the designed route first to calculate the transportation cost through this road and the maximum traffic capacity of the caravans that could be connected. Yunmeng happened to come to see Amon, so Link brought Aesop with him.

After hearing this, Amon frowned slightly and said, "Does it take half a year to mobilize all the personnel that can be mobilized in Salem City?"

Link smiled bitterly and said, "Half a year is just to open the road. If you want to completely repair it, it will take at least one or two years for these people in the city of Salem alone. But the current situation does not allow us to wait too long. The people who crossed the plateau of the Assyrian Kingdom have named the city of Enrile. There are more and more people, and the city walls are getting taller and taller. I am afraid that new conflicts will arise in the future. If this road is not repaired as soon as possible, we will be in an isolated and helpless state in the Duke Plain."

Amon thought for a while and replied, "I'll solve this problem. You first build the checkpoints and fortresses on the other end of the road, and then repair them from there to the swamp, so as to how much you can build. As for the road at this end, I will be responsible for making people pass through in one month, and in three months, two carriages can be mis-traveled."

Aesop exclaimed: "Unless it is a miracle!"

Link patted Aesop's shoulder and said, "Of course what God Amon created is a miracle!" Then he said to Amon: "I'm also very curious, why are you sure?"

Amon smiled slightly and said, "The so-called miracles are all created by humans, and this is not a miracle. It is nothing more than a accumulation of manpower and material resources. Salem City is now short of manpower and sufficient supplies, but the Syrian city-state has them. As long as the conditions are negotiated, they can be repaired here."

Aesop nodded and said, "I understand, this is also a mutually beneficial transaction. We have the treasure of Goddess Mu Yun, and we can spend money to hire people to build roads from outside, as long as the Syrian city-state is willing to agree."

Amon suddenly remembered something and said to Iso: "You are here just right, I want to ask for advice if you have something to do."

Aesop was a little surprised: "You are a godlike person. Do you have anything to ask me for advice?"

Amon asked with a smile: "I have heard you tell the story of Pythagoras, a sage from afar. He claimed that he had seen it with his own eyes, and you actually knew literacy, so you would not be a slave all your life, right?"

Aesop said with his head down: "My hometown is far away. My father was once a bard. He was killed by pirates on his way to a distance. I became a slave at a very young age, resold him everywhere, and have been to many places."

Amon: "I don't need to mention the sad past. I know you have been to many places and are very knowledgeable. I have never seen anyone know the legends of various places like you. Have you ever heard of the legends about the Duke Plain?"

Aesop replied carefully: "There are many stories about Duke Town, but I know that you are a miner in Duke Town. Some stories are probably offensive and disrespectful to you, so I have never mentioned them."

Amon smiled bitterly and said, "So that's it. I should have asked you long ago! It's not too late to ask now. Have you ever heard a very special legend?"

Aesop looked up and asked, "What's special? Is it a battle of the gods? There are not many folk stories. You have been in the Isis Temple Archives. If you look up the classics there, you will definitely have more than folk myths."

Amon's eyes lit up: "There is no need to say more about the Battle of the Gods. I know several people in the parties involved. Are there any older and older legends?"

Aesop frowned and thought: "I vaguely remember a legend. The story is very bizarre, about a tower. You have been to the city of Barron, and you should know that there is a magnificent tower on the outskirts of Barron, called the Gate of the Gods. It was built by the kings of Barron to pay tribute to the gods of Marduk in history. It may be related to a story that has been circulated on the continent."

...

It is said that before the Battle of the Gods, the Anunaqi divine system was the era of the rule of the god Anu, but Anu's mother Amat controlled the divine holy object, the Destiny Book of Heaven, and had supreme power. Later, Amat handed over the Destiny Book of Heaven to his other son Jin Gut, trying to make Jin Gut the main god. This aroused the dissatisfaction of many gods, and eventually led to the division and civil war of the divine system.

The legend of the tower should have happened before the Battle of the Gods, because the main god in the story was still Anu. At that time, there was no miner tribe in Duke Town and Duke Town. The area around Duke Town was a fertile land of thousands of miles. The people living there were strong and smart, but they were too smart to be overly conceited and even attempt to spy on the secrets of the gods.

They built a huge city-state, originally located in the area of ​​today's Salem City, and they also planned to build the most tower that had never appeared in the world, called the Tower of Heaven. People were ambitious to work, burn bricks under the scorching sun and pile up bricks with asphalt. The tower was built higher and higher, and they hoped to climb the kingdom where the gods were located through this tower.

The noise of people alarmed the sleeping Amat, so she called Annu to ask what was going on? Annu reported on people's construction of the Tower of Heaven and summoned the gods to discuss. It is said that all the gods were present at that time, and everyone decided to stop this. So the gods used their divine power together, disturbing people's language, making everyone unable to understand what they were saying. It is said that this is the origin of different languages ​​in various countries in the mainland today.
