220, there is only one way
At this point, Amon didn't need to hide anything anymore and replied frankly: "Cain and his younger brother Abel once saved me. In return, I gave them another kind of guidance, but my achievements were not high at that time, and I didn't expect that today would be. They were not my students, and I did not continue to guide them in the practice of higher achievements. Now Abel is dead, and as for Cain, if I have the chance, I will go to him and ask him something!"
Gilgamesh suddenly asked, "Did you teach them the secret of becoming a god?"
Amon shook his head gently: "No, I call it the power of both sides. I was still exploring at that time."
While speaking, he imprinted a complex piece of information into the souls of Gilgamesh and Gerey, which is a guide to the power of origin, which contains the secret of becoming a god, and is a summary of all his experiences in recent years. Gerey had already understood the power of both sides of the body, and this was the first time he had heard of the power of origin. As for Gilgamesh, who once asked Goddess Mu Yun, but Goddess Mu Yun did not give him an answer.
Only the divine messengers who have received the guidance of each divine system can know all this after making a vow. However, Amon has not received any divine system guidance, and today it is the first time that this secret was revealed to people outside of their disciples.
He had no reservations about these two "old friends". The message not only contained the secret of original power, but also explained the requirements of each god system, and also said the final test that the divine system would not mention when guiding the divine envoy. Gilgamesh looked at each other and fell into deep thought, especially inexplicably there was tears flashing in Gilgamesh's eyes, but the tears finally did not stay.
They are also explorers, but in this way they have obtained answers that have not been sought for many years.
Gilgamesh finally understood why Enqidu died, and also understood what the last sentence that Enqidu said before he died. When Enqidu rushed to the gray vortex, he shouted to him: "Gil, I finally understand! This is not a curse of the gods, but a judgment of fate!"
Enqidu practiced not the power of the original. He was just a pure warrior. He actually reached the end of human achievements through physical skills. When the final test came, he understood the source of power, but it was too late to explain it to Gilgamesh. If Enqidu succeeded, he would also become a god, the first god who only practiced physical skills and broke through the power of the original. Unfortunately, he failed.
After a long time, Gilgamesh spoke first: "If I could reach that step, no matter how I arrived, I would probably not be able to pass the final test."
Gelie looked at Gilgamesh and sighed silently. As soon as he said this, it means that Gilgamesh would not really pass the "question of fate, the judgment of the end of the world". Gelie knew it in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
Gilgamesh picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then looked around and asked, "Amun, is this where you lived since childhood?"
Amon nodded: "Yes, I grew up here, but now the house is new and used to be old."
Gilgamesh put down his wine glass and gave the table top a heavy meal, sighing: "This is not fair!"
The meaning of this sentence is very complicated. If you talk about intelligence, Gilgamesh is no less than Amon. He was born as the son of the city lord, enjoying all his luck, and having a noble status. He has the best teacher to learn, and he always tries to send whatever he wants. Gilgamesh has a arrogant and luxurious habit, but he is not an indulgent playboy. He has his own pursuits and ambitions, and has achievements that the entire continent envies.
And what does Amon have? Amon has nothing. He is just the son of an alcoholic, a lowly miner. He lost his hometown and relatives at a young age. This is certainly unfair compared to Gilgamesh. But this is not what Gilgamesh said. He is not Amon, and has not experienced all this. General Amon later possessed the nobleness he possessed, but he has not experienced the life witnessed by Amon.
If you say it from others, this sentence may seem pretentious, but at this time Gilgamesh was indeed from the heart. Ge Lie pondered: "Maybe it is because life is so different that it requires the endless test. Gilgamesh, if you cultivate the power of your origin, you believe that you will definitely achieve something. But it was difficult for you to pass the endless test back then, let alone the last step of transcendence and eternal life."
Gilgamesh was slightly stunned, looking down at the empty cup in his hand and said, "You are right. You are a wise man on the mainland. You can understand the truth in one thought. It was really difficult for me to pass the endless test back then. Now I am using another way to prove that it is not pure power, but just a mark in my soul... Ge Lie, every ninth-level magician has different ways to advance. Have you experienced the endless test back then?"
Ge Lie recalled: "I was promoted to a level 9 magician. Shortly after that flood, I saw the ups and downs of everyone during my meditation. What they thought seemed to have become a reflection of my soul. This was a very similar experience, but it was not entirely a test of the endless power of the original. It was a breakthrough in mastering divine arts. The soul's understanding only lies in its own feelings and was not clearly guided."
Gilgamesh grabbed the wine pot and poured wine for everyone, brought the glass to Amon and said, "Thank you!"
Gelie also toasted and said, "Thank you for letting me understand all this and answering too many questions in this life. It may be too difficult for me to confirm all the tests of original power from scratch, but at least it will not leave any regrets that will not be solved in this life."
He is already the top master of the mainland. Witnessing endless life is not a difficult test for Gere, but what is speechless is that the initial test of low-level achievements is difficult for Gere. And when Gilgamesh looks back on his life, he also understands that it will be difficult to pass the "question of fate, the judgment of the end of the day".
They are the top powerhouses in the world and even have the power to fight against gods. However, it is difficult to have hope of becoming a god who transcends eternal life in this life. But listening to their tone, they are more relieved rather than regretful. At least their lifelong exploration has finally been proven.
After putting down the wine glass, Gilgamesh said to Gere: "In fact, you can also reach the end of human achievements. Just like Enqidu, he only practices physical skills, and you only practices magic skills, and you can also understand the origin of power at the last moment, just..."
Ge Lie continued with a wry smile: "It's just that I don't have such a strong bloodline and can't practice anymore. I can only see the light and shadow after the detachment comes."
Then the few people seemed to have had a tacit understanding and did not talk about this topic anymore. They already understood the secret of the original power. Whether they had the hope of transcending eternal life or not, people like Gerry or Gilgamesh would not change their minds. After a turn of the conversation, they talked about the situation after the battle between Salem and Enrile.
Enrier City was defeated, and the main force of the Giant Legion suffered nearly half of the casualties, so it is impossible to leave the city to fight in the short term. However, this city is difficult to capture. The battle to defend the city is different from siege. It does not necessarily require elite troops. As long as an organized strong labor force is launched to the city wall. The city built by the giants on the plateau is tall and sturdy, and various cities are built. A lot of materials have been stockpiled in the city, which is enough to hold on for a long time.
The Salem Legion suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the casualties in two consecutive battles. The total population of Salem City exceeded one tenth, and they were all elite strong laborers. The long-term war of attrition required the production and farming guarantees in the rear, and the current situation could not be continuously launched.
The best strategy is to conquer and prevent the Giant Legion from leaving Enrier City, and to focus on rest and production construction in the rear. If the situation continues like this, Enrier City will surrender sooner or later, but there is one person who will never sit idly by, that is the Assyrian Emperor Sinach.
The Assyrian Empire is currently the most powerful period in history. The Barron Kingdom had eighteen city-states, which lost half of the Kish city-state on the west bank of the Youdi River, and had to give up the newly opened city of Marduke. The heaviest loss was the cede of six city-states in the northeast. This was equivalent to half of the land of the Assyrian Kingdom, and most of them were rich arable land.
The Assyrian Kingdom is now known as the Assyrian Empire. It not only obtained a large area of rich land but also had a large population, but its social structure also changed. Assyrian conquerors became emerging nobles and superiors in the territory of the *** territory, while the residents of the fallen areas of the former Barron Kingdom were scattered and moved, becoming the lower-level workers. The food and materials they provided supported the Assyrian army to launch a new round of conquests, and more Assyrian strong laborers became completely professional soldiers without production.
After the Kingdom of Barron expressed his surrender, Sinach was ambitious and he would never be willing to give up the Duke Plain. What's more, he had sent the giant legion to the Duke Plain and built a city-state in several years, which was equivalent to inserting a sharp knife into it. When the war against Barron ended and the national strength reached its peak, he would not accept the result of being defeated by the small Salem city-state in any case.
No matter how much the price is spent, Sinach will continue to reinforce Enrile. The price of expedition across the Assyrian Plateau is very expensive, but how could the brutal Sinach care? All he cares about is his own achievements and enjoying the achievements of conquest.
Gere analyzed Sinach's character and did not require any great prophecy to know that the great emperor would inevitably adopt the strategy. At the foot of the Assyrian Plateau, there would probably be corpses everywhere, and the continuous attacks would eventually break the city of Salem. An empire like this suddenly rose for many years, and its strength was very fast. It seemed invincible for a while, but its decline would also be very fast.
But before the Assyrian Empire collapsed and declined, the city of Salem was the city of its strongest rising period. The few people here were the most famous commanders on the mainland. They saw the victory in front of Salem, but they could not stop the fate of future failure, because their opponent was a cruel and powerful madman.
Gilgamesh looked at the wine in the glass and said expressionlessly: "Two, if Salem wants to gain a foothold in the Duke Plain for a long time, it must first defeat the Enrir city-state and expand its control to the foot of the Assyrian Plateau. The current situation is not possible for military victory. There is only one way, that is, to solve Sinach himself!"
Amon had this idea in his mind. When he heard Gilgamesh ask, he also said, "Are you assassinating Sinah? He is not the King of Hati Lucille back then. I have met a level nine warrior in the battle formation, and the commander of the army in Enriel City is also an amazing magician.
Sinach is so cruel, there are not too many people on the mainland who want to kill him. His defense must be extremely strict. Even if a master like us assassinate, the possibility of success is very small. And there is another most important issue. The Assyrian Empire has embarked on a military route. Even if an emperor is assassinated, it cannot stop the advance of this chariot."
Gelie gently tapped the table with his finger and said, "So not only must we eliminate Sinach, but also reverse the national policy of the entire Assyrian Empire in order to save the current situation. This is a gospel for everyone. The ninth-level warrior you are talking about is the Assyrian queen Semir. And you may have heard of that great magician, that is Faust, the sage national teacher of Assyrian."
Amon was surprised: "Queen! She was the assassin who assassinated the Saint at the Isis Blessing Ceremony, and Faust was the assassin's assistant! At that time, he was already the queen of the National Master, how could he sneak into Eju to do that kind of thing?"
Gilgamesh slapped the table and said, "So Sinach is a lunatic! The purpose of doing that is nothing more than to frame me and Enqidu!"
Gere interrupted, "From my understanding of Faust, that may be his plan, but I didn't expect that Sinahe would even be willing to send his own queen. After Enqidu, Semir should be the number one warrior on the mainland today!"
Amon suddenly remembered what Yin Nanna once said. The gods agreed not to directly interfere in the struggles on earth, but there is an exception. Mortals challenged or offended the gods, such as the arrow that Faust and Semir shot into the sky together. He turned his head and asked Gelie, "If you want to get rid of Sinach, do you have to cut these two people first? I can find an opportunity to take action!"
But Gore shook his head and said, "No, they are not only the people whom Singah trust the most, but Faust is also the people whom Singah trust the most. But if we want to eradicate Singah and change the national policy of the Assyrian Empire, we need these two people to help. Otherwise, just killing such an Assyrian emperor will not have a fundamental role."
Gilgamesh stared at Gore and suddenly asked, "I heard that Faust is your long-time friend, right?"
Gore nodded and said, "Yes, he is my friend, we have close personal relationships. The reason I say this is not because of my friendship with him, but because I know him. I heard that Faust came to Enrile and knew that the Salem Legion was not an opponent, so I came here. I am afraid you haven't heard the latest news, Faust is quite dissatisfied with what Emperor Sinach is doing now."
He introduced what he knew about Faust and Semir—
Although Faust looked wrinkled, he was not old, only fifty years old. When he was young, he went to the Kingdom of Hati to study and asked for advice under Gelie. His outstanding talent and diligent and inquisitive spirit left a deep impression on Gelie. Later, the two had a very good personal relationship and often discussed various issues through letters.
Faust's hobbies were not just divine arts, he loved to learn all the knowledge in this world. It is said that he read all the books in the Assyrian Temple Archives and could even accurately say the contents of every volume, page and line. As far as Gore knew, this rumor was true. Faust was honored as the most knowledgeable person in Assyria and was by no means false.
Moreover, Gore also understood that Faust was versatile and he was also a scroll-making master who was no less than Nero's back then, but he did not make as many scrolls as Nero did. Because Faust believed that was not worth wasting limited life on such things. He had two wishes, one was to use knowledge to change the Assyrian kingdom and the world around him, and the other was to explore the liberation of mortals.
Like the old madman back then, Faust tried to unravel the secrets of the gods and find the ferry crossing that transcends life. He used another way different from Amon, searching in the ocean of knowledge. It was too difficult for him to succeed. As the chief high priest of the kingdom, Faust did not have the experience or luck like Amon.
Faust met Sinach who reused him and had the guidance of the gods. After years of operation, he finally made the weak Assyrian kingdom a powerful empire on the continent. It seemed that he had succeeded. But Gore received the recent secret report that Faust was the most staunch opponent of Sinach, and was scolded by Sinach. Queen Semir stood on Faust's side. The new policy that Sinach later reluctantly implemented also accepted Faust's suggestions.
Faust and Semir came to Enriel City, and there was another reason. Sinach wanted to massacre more than 2,000 innocent Barron civilians. Faust and Semir wanted to stop them, but Sinach took the opportunity to give these people to the national teacher and queen as slaves, and sent the two to the Duke Plain for missions.
With Gelie's eyes, he had already seen the fate of the Assyrian Empire's destiny to decline after its prosperity, and Faust could probably foresee it. After so many years of hard work, what he wanted was absolutely not like. The prosperity and rise of the Assyrian Kingdom has planted the seeds of decline and brought painful disasters to countless people. People like Faust may also suffer tremendous pain in their hearts.
As for the queen of the Assyrian Empire, Gore also sent someone to investigate, and there was even a lot of information learned through Faust. Semir's origin was mysterious, and she only knew that she was a civilian and was an abandoned baby picked up by a herdsman couple by the river. When she grew up to be a girl, she was as beautiful as flowers with dewdrops.
