Chapter 43

There is a joke in the well of Tianshu mainland. When noble magicians perform their magic, they not only show the power of the gods, but also compare who will spend more money. A simple staff usually needs to be inlaid with an ordinary stone. If it is a precious and rare high-level staff, if converted into coins, it can definitely bury the opponent.

Amun didn't give the staff to link immediately. He took it away for the time being. When link became a third level magician, he would give it as a gift when he left.

……

After the thunder, the heavy rain continued for seven days and seven nights. The flood was only a few feet from the lowest part of the wall of Syria when the flood was at its highest. After the heavy rain stopped, the sun fell again, the water gradually receded, and the city was finally saved! Thousands of people were cheering, the sound broke through the clouds and reverberated for a long time.

Ge lie finally walked down the wall holding the staff. He almost exhausted all his magic power. The fingernails and knuckles holding the staff were white, and he could not help shaking. However, he tried his best not to show a trace of weakness. At this time, as long as an ordinary person reaches out a finger, he can stab Ge lie down. He even walks very hard, but he insists on not being helped, and walks back to the temple by himself with firm steps.

People who rushed to the street to cheer saw Gore coming, and they all took the initiative to give way to a road. The crowd was like a wave of automatic separation to the left and right. All the people were shouting: "thank the gods, thank enril's protection, thank our great God guru Ge lie!"

The sound came up and down in the city like the mountain and the sea, and the flood outside the city was receding in the sound. Thanks to God's words have become a habit, like a natural prefix in pronunciation, all people cry out without heart, but thank Ge lie is from the heart, which is the common voice of thousands of people.

Gore was respected by all because of his transcendent status and achievements. Today, he has received cheers as if he were welcoming the gods. How to help and arrange the victims who have flooded into the city of Syria and help them return to their destroyed homes, release enough grain and seeds in batches to support the famine of this year, and when there is harvest in the next year, he should also send to the nearby city-state Apply for relief and assistance with the Kingdom, count the losses caused by the flood and so on.

Some of the supplies the victims received were relief from city states and kingdoms, some needed to be registered for repayment in the future, and some were loans from temples. This is a recovery work after a disaster, but it is also a poor job to be responsible for this work. It is definitely a great opportunity to enrich one's own pockets. If a greedy or incompetent official to control, I am afraid it will arouse public resentment and even civil unrest, so it is also an opportunity for Walter to prove himself in front of Ge lie.

Fortunately, although the flood swept through more than half of the territory of the city-state of Syria, it was mostly the desolate jungle and desert in the East. Only one blow was the heaviest. There was no DUK Town, and the miners who had been able to mine the sacred stone from generation to generation had disappeared completely. This was an irreparable loss for the city-state and the whole kingdom. However, for others, it has nothing to do with themselves, and the losses are not great. There are not many victims who really need relief and comfort.

Even so, Wallett was very busy. Morton, the financial officer, was dissatisfied with Wallett's attitude of no details. He once complained privately that the high-ranking magicians were not cannibalism and had no idea of money. Obviously, he is talking about hualaite, and he doesn't know whether he complains that Wallett spends too much money or supervises the money too carefully? However, he is only a few words of abdominal feint, dare not publicly blame Wallett what, than the previous cooperation with Cosman can be much more painful.

Ge lie had no psychological association with these matters at all. He just disappeared. He hid in the temple and never showed up again. He did not ask anything. Even the routine sacrifice was presided over by Walter. If someone else did this, he might be regarded as unfaithful and disrespectful to the gods, but no one in Syria would say anything wrong with gore.

It was not until three months later that GE lie made an official appearance in an open sacrificial activity and performed his duties symbolically. His face was pale, the wrinkles on his forehead were deeper, but his eyes were clearer and deeper than before. At this time, Raphael had finished his errand and returned from the royal capital, and the relief work after the disaster was almost finished. Gore asked Raphael whether he would like to remain as a high priest in the city of Syria?

Raphael was very young. He was only a fourth level magician. Although he had no position, he was not an ordinary nobleman. He is the son of the former Prime Minister of the kingdom of hathi. His family power is very large. If he intends to enter politics, he will have a bright future in Wangdu. However, the young man was indifferent to life. Perhaps because he grew up in such a family, he was used to all kinds of conspiracies and struggles, and was tired of it. Therefore, he was not interested in politics and was only interested in practicing divinity.

Because of his family status, he was able to find a great theologian like GE lie as his enlightenment tutor, and became the youngest disciple of the veteran of hathi theological Academy. To become the high priest of the city of Syria is a rare opportunity for others to ascend to heaven, but it is not Raphael's pleasure. When Goethe put forward this proposal, Raphael did not want to agree, but did not want to refute the teacher's face, so he appeared very hesitant.

Ge lie saw it and said with a smile, "you are my youngest disciple. Among all the students, you are also the only one who has awakened myself from the initial strength to the present. I know your temper very well. You are not interested in power. You also want to escape from the competition of interests in the family by practicing divine arts.But people always have to do something when they live in the world. Practicing divine arts is not just for a kind of illusory achievement. What's more, if you want to practice divine arts to the highest level, all kinds of tribulations in the world are also necessary experiences, otherwise there are too many things you can't understand! Now the city of Syria needs a high priest, and you also need the tempering of the earth to help the city-state deal with everything after the flood like Walter

Now that the teacher had said so, Raphael nodded and agreed. A mere fourth level magician was appointed as the high priest of the city of Syria. However, after Ge Lieh sent the report of recommending hualaite and Raphael to the Wangdu, he immediately approved it without any doubt and discussion. Obviously, Raphael's family played an important role.

Wallett and Raphael succeeded Cosman and Jeremy. The first thing that Goethe asked Raphael to do was to go deep into the muddy swamps and the wilderness where the flood had not yet subsided, to investigate and collect all the data, including the changes of topography and landform, to record the complete information with the artifact, without any omission, and then give it all to ge lie.

This work is very hard, and there are unpredictable dangers. We have to go deep into the desolate and uninhabited dangerous areas. After the flood, there is mud everywhere. There are landslides and mudslides everywhere in the mountains, and there are frightening beasts haunting the survivors. Ge lie took out a number of his own collection of magic artifacts and scrolls to Raphael, so that his disciples can defend themselves in a crisis.

It's hard work for a fourth level magician to finish this work alone. Four months later, Raphael came back, his boots were leaking and his clothes were worn out. Apart from a few high-level air divinity scrolls that could be used for flying, Raphael almost did not move, and was ready to return it to his teacher.

Ge lie shook his head and said, "I'm very pleased with your behavior. It's beyond my expectation. You can keep these artifacts. You may come in handy if you have something to do in the future. I plan to go back to Wangdu seminary next month. I may not come back for a long time. It's up to you. "

Goliath took all the information that Raphael had recorded in his divinity, and then he stayed in the house. For a full month, the people of Syria had not seen this chief priest. He was doing a very special thing. Goliath recorded all the information in the pupil of the earth on his staff, and then inspired by his magic power, the void in front of him showed a light and shadow scene, which was the panorama of the flooded terrain of the city of Syria.

At first glance, the terrain in the light and shadow is like the sand table used by generals in military exercises. However, it is not a real object, but a divine art information. It is very detailed and clear. Each part can be magnified independently. Even the wind in the high altitude and the airflow in the mountains are recorded by magic. The water in the river is also flowing.

Ge lie does the same thing with his staff every day. If anyone looks on, he will find that the image of divine information is changing every day, just like the natural evolution of rivers and mountains, but it is much faster than the real dynamic of the outside world. Gore is performing a special divinity - the great prophecy in the legend.

Prophecy is the acme of detecting divinity and information divinity. It is not a high-level divinity as is usually said. It is said that only gods can master it. But in fact, an ordinary medium level mage can use it, but it doesn't have much meaning. Either the mana is not enough to support the long continuous consumption, or the predicted result is far from the fact.

The foundation of prophecy is to collect the detailed information of the things to be predicted as far as possible, detect the rules of their operation and change, and then infer the future changes of such things under certain assumptions in a very intuitive way. The high priest Cosman, who was on the verge of death, also used prophecy when the flood came, but it turned out that his prediction was wrong.

Depending on the flood and the state of Syria, this city will definitely be submerged and destroyed. Cosman expected this, so he escaped, but did not expect that Gore decisively ordered him to be killed, and then saved the city of Syria. After all, one's knowledge is limited, and it is impossible to foresee the interference of all unknown information.

Although a middle-level diviner can perform prophecy, the real great prophecy can not be mastered by ordinary magicians, not even great diviners. It needs to separate a relatively independent model from various complex information changes, which requires a high level of integration and trade-off of information detection. It is said that only level 9 mages can display part of the magic of great prophecy.

The great prophecy seems miraculous, but the principle is simple and clear. For example, the most accurate big prophecy - everyone will die.

The eighth level magician Ge lie used big prophecy today, but the possibility that his conclusion would be interfered by other factors is relatively small, but the amount of information he needs to collect is huge, the mana cost is huge, and the time required is also very long. Gore almost ran out of mana some time ago. After three months of cultivation, he had recovered completely. He felt that after this hard struggle, his magic power had increased significantly.

Ge lie spent a full month in the secret room covered by the Shenshu array, and finally came to the conclusion that the geographical environment and climate around Duke town will change after the flood, and finally fully understand why enril said that the flood is a gift from the gods.

The most direct impact of the flood was to temporarily cut off the land traffic between the khathi Kingdom, the eju Empire and the Baron kingdom. The northern part of the Syrian desert has become a muddy swamp, and vehicles and caravans can not pass through. The goods and trade between hathi and the Egyptians can only go through the sea for the time being. This process may last for one to two years.On the other hand, it is absolutely safe during this period of military affairs. It was originally located at the land boundary between hathi and juju and balun. If the enemy country launched a war from the sea, the city-state of Syria would be affected last, which would have no significance for the outcome of the war.

The impact of Commerce and trade economy can be made up for many times, because the future land around Duke town and the climate of the basin have completely changed. A tributary of the Youdi river was cut off and washed away the valley in the southwest direction, flowing through the black fire forest, forming a huge inland lake in the low-lying area of northern Syria desert.

A large amount of silt has been accumulated to fill the lower part of the black fire forest, forming a fertile soil layer, and the northern part of the Syrian desert also has a lot of grassland. This change is not short-term. Because the flood has such a great impact on the topography, the local climate will change fundamentally. Due to the influence of temperature difference and evaporation updraft, the precipitation over the years will also increase from heihuo jungle to the edge of Youdi River Valley.

In this way, a stable cycle will be formed. In addition, new rivers can provide irrigation. Taking the disappeared town of Duke as the center, there will be a fertile field hundreds of miles from east to west and nearly a thousand miles from north to south. It has hills, mountains, plains, lakes, grasslands, can be planted and grazing, suitable for large population settlement. There used to be only one Duke Town, which guaranteed the basic living of only two thousand people.

Although there are no miners in Duke Town, the mine is still there. Near the foot of the mountain to the north of Woye, there are still rich refined iron and divine stone mines, which are the most valuable materials on the whole continent. It is unnecessary to say that mining iron ore alone will make this fertile field a place for all countries to contend for.

All countries in Tianshu continent have decrees that the hands of slaves should not touch the sacred stone, which is just that. The last step to remove the sacred stone from the ore core requires the power similar to divinity. In other places, it is done by low-level magicians. However, the geographical environment of Duke town was too desolate and remote, and the living conditions were too hard, and there was no condition for the formation of a large city-state with a large population. Therefore, there was a vein of miners in Duke town all the time.

Now the situation has changed. There is no problem in that area where hundreds of thousands of people live. If people who are good at management and management are allowed to lead, it can even accommodate millions of people to live and build homes for a long time. If this happens, it means that a powerful new country can be established on the mainland! Although its territory doesn't look too big.

However, the possibility of establishing a new country is very small, because the surrounding countries will not give up this fertile field which is strategically and economically important. In the foreseeable future, years of war will break out here, flowing the blood of countless people, I do not know how many lives will be buried.

At present, most of the uninhabited land lies in the territory of the kingdom of hathi and is under the jurisdiction of the city-state of Syria. However, its geographical location is very special. It is an "enclave" inserted into the center of Tianshu continent.
