Chapter 169

Gabriel took the scroll and asked, "the letter to me is also an order, but it can only be read after I fight amon? But saint, I'm going to assassinate him. If I'm still alive at that time, it means... "

Maria interrupted her with a wave of her hand: "you don't have to say more. The command of the empire is an order. I won't let you violate it. I know who you are Gabriel, how long have you been with me

Gabriel leaned over and said, "it has been six years since I first saw you in the promontory city. Mary, if you are not the virgin of Isis temple, what can I do for you at this time

Maria looked out of the window and showed a faint smile: "whether I am the saint or the girl named Maria, thank you very much. What I want to say has been written in the letter Is there anything else you want to say to me before you leave? "

Gabriel stood up and said, "this is a very difficult task. Since the Empire has appointed me to go, I have several requirements."

Maria nodded her head and said, "to accept such a task, you should ask for it."

Gabriel: "I can't go alone. I need the cooperation of a magician, at least one great one."

Maria replied, "I have talked with the three high priests just now. There will be a great magician to cooperate with you. George was the chief god of the Anla army. He volunteered to go with you to carry out this mission. If he can't finish the task, he won't come back."

Gabriel was slightly stunned, and then said, "the land of Tianshu is so big that I can't go to him aimlessly, and I can't show off in public. Therefore, it is necessary for the Empire to send spies to find out the exact location of Amun's hiding place before starting the operation. I am a noble warrior, which is what I am, and so is the high priest George

Maria replied simply, "that's what we should do! With the exact news of Amun, you and the high priest George will set out again. "

Gabriel: "I need another weapon."

Maria: "Isis Temple collection of all kinds of weapons, armor you choose, no matter how precious, as a reward for this mission, always belong to you."

Gabriel shook his head and said, "I don't need the weapons of the temple. I just need all the great magicians and craftsmen in the temple to repair a weapon for me. It was the Tomahawk that I had fought against enqidu. It was incomplete. I refined and repaired it with various precious materials, and almost completely changed the material. Now I need the help of all the great magicians and craftsmen to refine it into a perfect weapon. "

Maria: "I will meet your request and mobilize all my strength to help you build this weapon. You can leave after the sacrifice is completed. Your majesty didn't say the time limit for completing the task."

Gabriel bowed and said, "thank you, my lady!"

Maria looked at her meaningfully. "Your request is perfectly reasonable, Gabriel. Have you learned how to do business?" When Gabriel was ordered to escort the candidate Virgin Mary to the promontory City, she was alone. As a warrior, she did not have an entourage for thousands of miles. But now he has been ordered to assassinate Amun, but he has made so many demands.

Gabriel replied, "because this is to carry out the orders of the Empire, not to fulfill my own wishes, so follow the official rules."

Maria nodded again. "OK, it's like you said."

The conversation was over, but Gabriel did not leave. After standing there for a moment, Gabriel finally couldn't help saying, "Lady saint, can you talk about a few personal topics?"

Maria said with a smile: "this is a private occasion. If you have anything to say, please say it."

Gabriel sighed, "I'm not used to talking like that, but I have to. The Empire called for me to assassinate Amun. Don't you think there's any suspicion of killing by knife? The general was not guilty of any crime, but was to get rid of him for the benefit of the Empire. But don't forget that Amun himself may be the best assassin on the road. He can capture a king alive, which is much more difficult than killing a king. "

The Oracle looked out of the window and said, "the angel will look down from the window."

Gabriel: "I don't care who helps me. If I die in this operation, it's like someone takes amon's hand to get rid of me. I had this experience, before I became a warrior, but this time it was totally different. After I'm gone, how about you, saint? This is obviously for you. "

Maria said to herself, "I know amon better than he knows. The test you have to face is not him. That's why I let you read the letter after the battle Don't worry. After all, I'm not that little girl any more. I don't need your protection all the time. "

Her intention is that Gabriel's assassination will not succeed at all, because this warrior is not Amun's opponent at all, and she knows for sure that Amun will not kill Gabriel.

Gabriel did not refute anything, continued: "I am very clear about your situation, as the guardian saint of Isis temple, you have become the symbol of the Old Testament between the gods in the new deal reform of Pharaoh eracht. The next step must be directed at you. You need to change your status and status. This reform of God can be regarded as a complete success."Maria looked up. "I understand, but I'm still me anyway! I hope you can also remember that when people come into this world and will leave, what is the faith they pursue? "

Gabriel, ready to speak, bowed to the virgin and retired. Maria stood up and went to the window. There was no light on her in the dark. The stars were shining on her through the edge of the window. She looked at the distance quietly and didn't know what she was thinking. So she stood all night.

……

Amun crossed the mountains in the night, starry sky, he always felt that someone's eyes were watching him. At last, it was dawn, and he stepped onto an official road, which was the way out of the border and along the coastline to the city-state of Syria, the kingdom of hathia. It was also the march route of his army led by the Angora army. There was a checkpoint in front of him.

There was no one else on the road. The guard on duty was making a fire to cook. The smoke curled up in the distance. Several warriors with spears opened the wooden gate in front of the checkpoint and saw Amun coming with a short stick in his waist. Due to the signing of the alliance and peace treaty with the kingdom of hathia, the inspection of this checkpoint is not strict. However, it has received the order to arrest Amun, the great general, and interrogate the people who come and go.

Amun walked past in the thin morning fog, and the soldiers opposite him cried out, "what's your name, man on the way, where do you come from and where do you go?"

"My name is Amun. I'm going to the DUK plain. I've heard that the Egyptians are looking for me."

No matter what the soldiers in the checkpoint are doing, all the movements in this moment are stopped, and then they come out in line with weapons. Amun walked over. The soldiers looked down as if they didn't see him. Amun said aloud, "I'm amon!"

Suddenly, a soldier said to the people next to him: "I heard thunder yesterday, which made my ears buzzing. I couldn't hear anything clearly this morning."

Another soldier replied, "it seems to me, too. There is always an echo in my ears." The officer of the checkpoint came to Amun and said to him, "you who are on the way, you don't have to check if you don't have anything. If it's not convenient, you can lend me five coins

As soon as Amun looked at this posture, he knew that these soldiers were unwilling to arrest him. However, according to the imperial decree, the fugitive did not do anything and would be prosecuted in the future. Amun wanted to announce his identity and go through the barrier. He didn't want to embarrass anyone. He just announced that he was leaving. Unexpectedly, the soldiers guarding the checkpoint reacted like this.

He could not say anything more. He took out five copper coins and handed them to the official. He said, "thank you. I have money."

Amun just walked out of the checkpoint. Dozens of soldiers lined up and bowed their weapons to the ground. Not far ahead is the Gobi desert, along the coastline northward will reach the Syrian desert. Not long after Amun left the border, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and a man came after him on a fast horse.

He stopped and looked back. It was the officer of the checkpoint. The man rushed forward, jumped off his horse, bowed over and handed over a package: "the desert ahead, you need food and water." Then, with no nonsense, he turned and jumped on the horse and was ready to go.

"Who are you?" Amun asked

The officer replied, "my name is fanliat. I was a cavalry under captain Jules at first. I grew up with Jules and themisfei when I was a child. I was also taught by the old Jules

That's what happened. What a coincidence! This group of soldiers stationed at the border checkpoint was recruited from the hometown of themisfei. They used to be the subordinates and fellow countrymen of Jules. Of course, they were very grateful to Amun, the general. No wonder they did today. Amun once made a big fuss about mengfeisi. If Sheng Yi, the deputy director of the city-state, did not commit suicide, he would also be sent to guard the border checkpoint.

Rod Dick ordered an - La army to search for Amun. The Lord of the city must know the result. It's strange to catch him! If any soldier really dares to fight Amun, let alone whether he is an opponent, he or she will come back to the regiment to participate in the drill, and most likely he will be hit by a cold arrow! This is not a battle against the enemy. The soldiers of the army of AMN RA are very clear about the merits of general Amun and why they killed Prince sneck.

……

Amun was grateful. Although he didn't need the package, he put it in the bone. Continue to drive forward, along the coastline through rolling grassland and sparse bush growing hills, the road gradually disappeared, or no longer need the road, in front of the Gobi gravel distribution.

If someone followed Amun and observed carefully, he seemed to be walking slowly, but he was faster than the carriage, and the distance of each step was as stable as that measured by a ruler. After a day's walking through the Gobi, there are yellow sand dunes ahead. At night, he sits on the sand dunes to rest and meditate. When the sun rises, he continues to set out.

The last time he took this road, he led the mighty army of an'an-la, but at this time he was alone, and the shadow on the sand dunes was stretching for a long time. The morning glow is crimson. The sea water in the distance reflects a little gold in the blue. The undulating sand dunes change into yellow, white and pink light and shadow. The sea breeze is a little wet, but the sand under the sun has gradually risen to the dry heat.

The picture in front of me is like an unfolded mind. It is vast and mysterious, and it is also a desolate beauty between heaven and earth. When a gust of wind blows, Amun suddenly stops to take a deep breath and smells the wine. Although he is not a drunkard like his father, he is absolutely a first-class connoisseur of fine wine in the world. Good wine!In the distant horizon, there is a tent on one of the tallest sand dunes, where the fragrance of wine comes from. Amun used the puppet eye technique to see that it was a large tent with a golden roof. The four pillars supported the gorgeous embroidery band, but it was windy on all sides and had no curtain. It was like a pavilion.

In the tent sat a man with long golden brown hair and a bright red dress. Amun had a sense of awe when he saw him! This man was about thirty years old, and his physique was very majestic, and his whole body exuded a sense of dignity. In this desolate desert, it seemed that invisible creatures were shaking under his pressure.

There is a table in the big tent. There are three chairs beside the table, but there is only one person. On the table were fine wines and delicacies, and the man was drinking with a huge gold cup inlaid with various gems. When Amun saw him, the man also responded. He raised his head and said, "distant traveler, where is your hometown? The journey is long and lonely. Why not stop and drink wine with strange friends

He didn't speak out loud, but his natural voice was amazing. There was a buzz in the wind. From such a distance, Amun's sand dunes echoed. Amun walked step by step and said, "strange friend, why do you drink here? The scenery is so beautiful, but the breath is desolate and heartbreaking. Who are you waiting for

The man stood up and said, "I'm waiting for you, Amun."

Amun had come close, and there was not even a trace in the soft sand. However, when walking on this sand dune, it is like standing against the invisible wind. With each step, the sand in the sand seems to turn into quicksand and fall down rapidly. The corners of his coat and his hair floated back, and there was a whistling sound in his ear, but the scenery around him was so quiet and peaceful.

Amun didn't slow down. He stepped on the huge sand dune step by step. The quicksand at his feet seemed to be ripples in the water and finally disappeared. This is a silent fight, the man on the sand dune standing there, can give people such a strong sense of pressure, as if a God.

It's obviously not good to meet like this. The other party has been waiting here for a long time, and Amun can't hide from it. After climbing the dunes, he asked, "are you waiting for me? I don't remember seeing you

The man laughed and pointed to the opposite chair and said, "strange friends can also sit together and drink wine. There are not many people in the world who can safely sit opposite me and drink wine. Does general Amun have such courage? What do you think of the wine? "

Amun pulled up his chair and sat down and said, "I can tell it's good wine when I smell it. It's really thoughtful to prepare such a good wine in such a desolate place. Is it a special trip to entertain me?"

The man also sat down and said, "it's to entertain you, but also for myself. The journey of life is so dangerous, why not treat life well?"

Amun nodded his head and said, "I can see that you are a person who knows how to enjoy. When you wait for someone in the desert, you also set up such a tent and set up such a banquet. It's like a king on an outing. Can you tell me your name and what can I do for you

The man said slowly: "I heard you are very smart, so guess who I am?"

Amun shrugged and said, "how to guess? Why don't you tell me directly, who is the messenger sent by God? "

The man said, "when the sun rises, I enjoy the glory given by the gods on the grassland; when the shadow of the mountains is the shortest, I am looking forward to eternal youth and beautiful love; when the gods fall and my home disappears, I wander alone with injuries in the sunset. Is this old ballad about you or me? Mu Yun is in favor of love, amon. "

Amun suddenly thought of something, narrowed his eyes and asked, "giant lion?"

The man smiles: "you are not stupid as expected, I am the Lion King Ren Yun!"

Amun was surprised and said, "I've heard your legend, but we haven't dealt with each other. Why come to me? If it's because of the goddess Mu Yun, I don't think your resentment has anything to do with me. If you're going to get in my way, I'll keep going

At this time, another powerful force suddenly came from the ground. Not far away, the sand dunes sprang up and three human figures appeared. A man with strong muscles and two enchanting beauties came out of the sand, and they were old acquaintances. Amun stood up and said, "Scorpion King! How could you come here? "

Surabaya with ice scorpion and fire scorpion into the big tent, big square sat down and said with a smile: "hundreds of years, the Lion King finally came out, more powerful than ever. It is said that he is going to fight with you and ask me to arbitrate. How can I miss such a lively thing? Come on, let's dry this glass of wine first

Surabaya sat down, the ice scorpion and fire scorpion cuddle on the leg, ice scorpion pour wine, fire scorpion holding a cup to feed into his mouth. Surabaya drank a cup and smacked his lips: "good wine! Renyun, you always know how to enjoy it. It's a pity that you have to pour wine for yourself. Why don't you bring some lioness? Are you still thinking of the goddess Mu Yun, or are you still afraid of the goddess being jealous

"Scorpion King, we haven't seen each other for more than 200 years? You are still the same as before. You are more handsome and stronger than before. I don't know these two scorpion demons. Have you been trained for 200 years If the wine is good, drink a few more cups. When you're finished, make an arbitration for amon and me. "**(to be continued.
