This event had something to do with the two kingdoms. Asher, king of hadith, made a request to Salem. The city of Salem was nominally established in the territory of the kingdom of hathi, and the entrance of the trade road of the black fire swamp was also controlled by the kingdom of hathi. King Asher had already given much face in the name of "request". In fact, it was also a kind of order. The causes and consequences of the matter were as follows:
after the first World War, Aesop must fulfill his promise before the war as soon as possible and reward the meritorious soldiers In order to attract more people to work in Salem. However, many of the soldiers who died in battle were foreign explorers and civilian husbands. They had no family members in Salem, and even could not find a target for pension. In another case, the matter will be settled. It is not that Salem is not rewarded, but these people have no life to take it.
But after consulting with Aesop, Joshua issued a very interesting decree: according to the prior agreement, the soldiers will obtain the corresponding land on the DUK plain according to the size of their fighting achievements. Although many soldiers who had made military contributions were killed, Salem still gave them the land.
Salem city announced the list of these people, their identity and the land they had obtained, and issued an announcement. If the legal successors of these soldiers and soldiers come to Salem City, they can register with the city's agriculture and animal husbandry department to receive the land reward as long as they can prove their identity.
Among the soldiers who died in battle, the most numerous were those sent by the city-state of Syria. They died in the battle on the DUK plain, but left the land to their heirs. Many people could hardly believe it after hearing about it.
Therefore, there were an endless stream of people who came to Salem from hathi through the Black Fire Swamp commercial road. Some of them came to inherit the land, while others came to seek opportunities in Salem city. The law of Salem city-state is very attractive. It is the gospel of the rogue proletariat in Tianshu mainland.
Through the new deal made by Joshua, Aesop gathered more people in Salem in a short time after the war, and the number of registered residents exceeded 10000. The two commercial roads in the direction of the Black Fire Swamp and Marduk city were also more lively than ever before. At this time, ashelia, king of hadith, sent a letter of state to Salem, and made a request to Aesop, the Lord of the city, and Amun behind the scenes.
The hathi kingdom was ready to fight against the kingdom of balun again. The first target of attack was the city of Marduk in the southeast corner of the DUK plain. The battle plan was to seize the land east of the inland lake and the west of the Youdi river. King Asher planned to send two regiments to encircle and attack from inland and Northern Hunan. The southern army, of course, marched along the Syrian desert, while the northern army had to cross the DUK plain.
It was difficult for the legions to enter the DUK plain, but this tactic became possible after the opening of trade routes in the Black Fire Swamp. The export of trade is in the hands of Salem. So King Asher asked to advance by way of passage, pass through the territory controlled by Salem, and then go south to attack the city of Marduk. This request made it difficult for Aesop to agree or refuse.
Why did king hathi launch a war against the kingdom of Baron at this time? The reason is very complicated. The most important thing is that the young king wanted to make up for a regret in his heart, and also to realize the great imperial dream of opening up territory.
When Asher was a prince at that time, Asher fought a great war with Baron's army as commander-in-chief with the help of Gore. It was obvious that Asher had won a great victory. However, because of the sudden death of his father and the usurpation of the throne by his brother, Prince Fengniu, who came to negotiate with the kingdom of Baron, took advantage of it, which was a pity Asher could not let go.
Asher also had the dream and ambition to make great achievements in the history of the kingdom. When his position was stable and the domestic situation was stable, Asher wanted to launch troops to punish the kingdom of Baron, who had offended hathi. There was little need for an excuse for the war, because the newly established city of Marduk in the kingdom of Baron was in the territory of Hati, which was the nominal territory of the Kingdom, although it never really controlled it.
Another goal of the war was to achieve what should have been achieved that year, and to drive the kingdom of Baron to the east of the Euphrates. As for the larger strategic goal of the next step, Asher did not say, but it can also be speculated that if the city of Marduk and the land to the west of the Youdi River are captured, the whole DUK plain will be under control. But it's just a vision, and the first thing to do is to win ahead.
When Goethe learned of King Asher's plan, he neither encouraged nor opposed it. He just refused to be an old man and wanted to devote himself to the study of divinity. He would no longer be involved in this matter. King Asher had endured for a long time in the glory of his old man. This time, the king had planned to rely entirely on his prestige and intelligence to build up his meritorious service, and his battle plan was also designated by himself.
Goethe understood the young king's idea, knew why Asher wanted to wage the war, and knew that he could not persuade him even if he wanted to, so he did not express his opinion. In fact, King Asher's war was also related to an oracle, and enril sent down the oracle at this time to instruct the kingdom of hathia to attack the kingdom of Baron. The Oracle completely catered to King Asher's mind, and it was impossible for him to change his mind.
In the battle plan of two lines of attack, to send the Anu army into the DUK plain, we must pass through the exit of the commercial road controlled by Salem. King Asher wrote clearly in the document that he sent his army to march by way of the route, and would not threaten Salem. The target of the attack was the city of Marduk in the southeast.King Asher was also aware that Salem was fighting against the kingdom of Assyria in the north, and promised to ensure that the trade routes in the Black Fire Swamp would be unblocked, so that Salem could receive continuous logistics support. The implication is that if Salem does not agree, he will order the cities of Syria to shut down the trade.
If Aesop agreed, he would have put an elite army of the kingdom of hatti into the DUK plain, which was not a threat. If the kingdom of Hattie really captured the city of Marduk, it is hard to say that it will not take the whole DUK plain including Salem in the future. If they make a surprise attack from behind while Salem and enril are at war, they will take down Salem first.
If he had a choice, Aesop would not want this situation, but if he refused, King Asher could block the commercial roads in the Black Fire Swamp and cut off the logistics supply line urgently needed by Salem with a single order. Aesop and George couldn't decide, so they came to the temple and called for Amun's guidance.
At this time, link had replaced the fortress that Raphael had been guarding, while John was sent to guard another fortress. Aesop, George, Yunmeng and Raphael, who remained in Salem, all came to the temple and prayed to the statue of God and read the letter sent by King Asher. They knew that Amun would hear him and would reply if he wanted to pay attention.
After reading the document, they heard Amun's voice: "for the request that can not be refused, we can only consider how to agree. You must have discussed it. How do you decide to do it? If Asher wants to send an army into the DUK plain, he should know what Salem will worry about. He can't help but try to dispel your doubts. What kind of commitment has he made
Aesop said with a wry smile, "we just read the document just now, and Celia has sent another appointment. King Asher has appointed you prince Salem and a glorious general. Your rank and status are not lower than that when you lived in Egypt! The kingdom of hathi also granted you a large territory, which is 200 miles around the city of Salem, which was granted to you by the king of laches II. Moreover, it promised to open up trade and levy its own taxes, and Salem only needed to provide services to the Kingdom during the war. "
Amun's voice with a smile: "this is something we have worked hard for. He is very good at human relations and gave it to me in the name of the kingdom. If I accept this appointment, it will be tantamount to formally incorporating Salem into the territory of the kingdom of hathia. If I refuse this appointment, it will mean that Salem will not cooperate. In fact, this appointment is a commitment made by the kingdom of hathi to Salem. What do you think should be done? "
George replied, "it's very easy to handle. You are Amun, and you have practiced in the kingdom of God. Even the king's orders are hard to serve. We leave these documents in the city, but we cannot deliver them to you. You need neither accept nor reject them. "
Amun: Well, that's what we should do. If the request of the kingdom of hathia is granted, there are both advantages and disadvantages. What is the greatest disadvantage? "
George: "if we allow the armies of the hatti kingdom to enter the DUK plain to attack Marduk City, then the trade road between us and Marduk will be cut off and supplies must be replenished by the trade routes of the Black Fire Swamp."
Amun: "the trade road in the black fire swamp is much more important than that in the direction of Marduk city. If you refuse, the more important backup will be cut off, and the lesser of the two evils. Opening up trade with the kingdom of Hattie is what Salem needs."
Aesop added: "in the long run, it is always a potential threat to let an army enter the hinterland of the DUK plain."
Amun interrupted him and said, "the struggle for the DUK plain is bound to involve more forces, sooner or later. Without today's event, there will be other things tomorrow. Even Salem's existing population is obviously too small, let alone the fertile land of thousands of miles? There will be more than three cities in the plain now, and in the future
George nodded his head again and again: "we should have such a vision. King Asher chose a very good time. We resisted the invasion of the north, and he took the opportunity to enter the hinterland. Even if he did not attack Marduk, he could choose the right place to build a city-state."
The final result of the negotiation was naturally to agree with King Asher's request. He not only agreed, but also offered more assistance. Salem city will serve as a logistics transfer station for the expeditionary army of the kingdom of hathi, providing services for the trade, storage and transportation of military supplies. It also became the foothold of a large number of logistics personnel of the regiment after they entered the plain, showing an all-round cooperative attitude.
This kind of cooperation is just what the expeditionary army needs urgently. In this way, it will bring greater prosperity to Salem. Not to mention anything else, if tens of thousands of logistic personnel of a regular Legion turn around in Salem, they will not only need to transport a large amount of materials, but also be a big business to make money.
On the other hand, the regular fighters of the kingdom of hathi were not allowed to enter the city-state, and the fortress defense at the exit of the Black Fire Swamp commercial road must also be independently responsible by Salem City, and the expeditionary corps should not interfere. Salem built three fortresses on the periphery, two of which were on both sides of the Northern Boulevard, which were against enril.
Another fortress was on the edge of the Black Fire Swamp, guarding the exit of the trade road. If there is any change on the side of the kingdom of hathi, as long as the fortress is closed, it will cut off the most important logistics supply line of the HiTi expeditionary Corps.
The agreement to provide logistics services is based on the same idea. If we sincerely cooperate, both sides will benefit. If the kingdom of hathi has other plans, then the logistic supply of the expeditionary army will be in the hands of Salem city state, which is not so easy to turn over. The king of Asher, if he had no guile, should have agreed to the advantage of each other.Aesop and others had already discussed these countermeasures, but only asked Amun to make a final decision. Amun nodded his approval, and finally said, "you have set me on the altar, and I need to devote myself to practice to pursue the realm beyond eternal life. It may not appear for many years, even if it appears, it may not be as Amun. All the affairs of the city-state lie in the people of the city. Since they have decided to do it well. "
The matter had been discussed. Aesop and others did not dare to disturb Amun's training. They were preparing to leave. Raphael touched his nose and coughed: "ah, Amun, teacher Gore wrote me a letter, which also mentioned another thing. I think I should tell you."
Oh, he told the old man
But Raphael hesitated and asked, "don't you think the appointment given to you by the kingdom of Hattie is a little strange. You are not a royal nobleman. How could you be given a prince's title as an exception?"
Amun: this king Asher is very unique. You are a member of the Hittite aristocrat, and you are the high priest of the city of Syria. I want to hear your opinion
Raphael did not answer directly. He asked, "do you know why Asher sent Celia the great magician? As far as I know, the expeditionary army sent by the kingdom of hathi to the DUK plain is the Anu army, which will appoint Celia as the God. She is a princess of the Kingdom, and her father is the younger brother of the former king Lucille
Amun didn't say anything, but Yunmeng was worried and interposed in one side: "how can you be hesitant? Do you want to let Amun play riddles with you
Raphael was a little embarrassed and then said, "this is what the teacher told me in private. He understood King Asher's intention and hoped to marry Princess Celia to Amun. It was a long talk..."
Celia is a princess of the kingdom. She is also young and beautiful. Naturally, her pursuers are numerous, and there are even princes and nobles in the surrounding countries. But on the other hand, she is also a great magician. This status makes her have more arrogant capital. In other words, her vision is too high, and many pursuers do not like it.
When Lucille was alive, she had been worried about her niece's marriage and asked Celia, "what kind of person do you want to marry? All the heroes in the Kingdom, as long as you look at them, I will immediately order the marriage. "
Celia replied, "I don't care about identity. The people who pursue me should be more successful than me. They must defeat me in the duel."
This sentence is tantamount to rejecting all pursuers. Who can defeat a great magician? The people who pursue Princess Celia don't have the ability. Don't even think about it. As for those who have this ability, those great warriors or great magicians who have already established a family and become famous are unlikely to pursue the princess of the kingdom.
But then there was one thing everyone knew, which was Celia's duel with Amon, and amon won! Naturally, this duel has nothing to do with the pursuit of Celia, but it's hard to avoid linking the two. There are many people who talk about it in the city of Hati. Many even say that only a great hero like Amun can be worthy of such a great magician as Princess Celia.
This time, King Asher sent Celia as a messenger to talk about cooperation. He was trying to see if Celia would like to see Amun, and Celia accepted the task. To make amon Prince of Salem is already a hint. If the two men are really interested and Salem is willing to cooperate, then king Asher will be the matchmaker. In a sense, it is also an idea of political marriage and a means to control Salem.
Raphael explained the reason. George kept winking at him to stop him from talking. Then he coughed again and almost kicked him. There is still a statue of Mu Yun on the altar. It seems inappropriate to say these things in person!
Raphael finally said helplessly: "as far as teacher Corey knows, King Asher really has this idea, and it seems to be related to the oracle of enril. As for the things between the gods, I am not very good at judging. But king Asher didn't say it clearly. The teacher just asked me to say hello to Amun. At present, it seems that there is no need to worry about it, because the God Amun did not appear in Salem
Amun said with a smile, "there's no need to talk about it. I think the king Asher thinks too much."
Raphael added: "no wonder his Majesty would have thought that you really didn't have a family, and what kind of girl can be worthy of a great hero like you? From the heart of my heart, Princess Celia is an eight level master of divinity. It is rare for women on the mainland to have such achievements. "
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener intended to. Amun on the altar was silent for a moment. Far away in the garden of Eden, he thought of another person, Maria, the guardian of the temple of Isis.
All the people in the temple were waiting for Amun to speak, but suddenly they heard a cry from the God: "Gabriel, come quickly!..." Then it was silent, and people could not feel the gaze of the statue. Amun suddenly "left" the temple at this time, and even didn't want to listen to Salem again.
George and others looked at each other. Something must have happened in the garden of Eden!

As for the things between the gods, I am not very good at judging. But king Asher didn't say it clearly. The teacher just asked me to say hello to Amun. At present, it seems that there is no need to worry about it, because the God Amun did not appear in Salem
Amun said with a smile, "there's no need to talk about it. I think the king Asher thinks too much."
Raphael added: "no wonder his Majesty would have thought that you really didn't have a family, and what kind of girl can be worthy of a great hero like you? From the heart of my heart, Princess Celia is an eight level master of divinity. It is rare for women on the mainland to have such achievements. "
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener intended to. Amun on the altar was silent for a moment. Far away in the garden of Eden, he thought of another person, Maria, the guardian of the temple of Isis.
All the people in the temple were waiting for Amun to speak, but suddenly they heard a cry from the God: "Gabriel, come quickly!..." Then it was silent, and people could not feel the gaze of the statue. Amun suddenly "left" the temple at this time, and even didn't want to listen to Salem again.
George and others looked at each other. Something must have happened in the garden of Eden!

This event had something to do with the two kingdoms. Asher, king of hadith, made a request to Salem. The city of Salem was nominally established in the territory of the kingdom of hathi, and the entrance of the trade road of the black fire swamp was also controlled by the kingdom of hathi. King Asher had already given much face in the name of "request". In fact, it was also a kind of order. The causes and consequences of the matter were as follows: after the first World War, Aesop must fulfill his promise before the war as soon as possible and reward the meritorious soldiers In order to attract more people to work in Salem. However, many of the soldiers who died in battle were foreign explorers and civilian husbands. They had no family members in Salem, and even could not find a target for pension. In another case, the matter will be settled. It is not that Salem is not rewarded, but these people have no life to take it. But after consulting with Aesop, Joshua issued a very interesting decree: according to the prior agreement, the soldiers will obtain the corresponding land on the DUK plain according to the size of their fighting achievements. Although many soldiers who had made military contributions were killed, Salem still gave them the land. Salem city announced the list of these people, their identity and the land they had obtained, and issued an announcement. If the legal successors of these soldiers and soldiers come to Salem City, they can register with the city's agriculture and animal husbandry department to receive the land reward as long as they can prove their identity. Among the soldiers who died in battle, the most numerous were those sent by the city-state of Syria. They died in the battle on the DUK plain, but left the land to their heirs. Many people could hardly believe it after hearing about it. Therefore, there were an endless stream of people who came to Salem from hathi through the Black Fire Swamp commercial road. Some of them came to inherit the land, while others came to seek opportunities in Salem city. The law of Salem city-state is very attractive. It is the gospel of the rogue proletariat in Tianshu mainland. Through the new deal made by Joshua, Aesop gathered more people in Salem in a short time after the war, and the number of registered residents exceeded 10000. The two commercial roads in the direction of the Black Fire Swamp and Marduk city were also more lively than ever before. At this time, ashelia, king of hadith, sent a letter of state to Salem, and made a request to Aesop, the Lord of the city, and Amun behind the scenes. The hathi kingdom was ready to fight against the kingdom of balun again. The first target of attack was the city of Marduk in the southeast corner of the DUK plain. The battle plan was to seize the land east of the inland lake and the west of the Youdi river. King Asher planned to send two regiments to encircle and attack from inland and Northern Hunan. The southern army, of course, marched along the Syrian desert, while the northern army had to cross the DUK plain. It was difficult for the legions to enter the DUK plain, but this tactic became possible after the opening of trade routes in the Black Fire Swamp. The export of trade is in the hands of Salem. So King Asher asked to advance by way of passage, pass through the territory controlled by Salem, and then go south to attack the city of Marduk. This request made it difficult for Aesop to agree or refuse. Why did king hathi launch a war against the kingdom of Baron at this time? The reason is very complicated. The most important thing is that the young king wanted to make up for a regret in his heart, and also to realize the great imperial dream of opening up territory. When Asher was a prince at that time, Asher fought a great war with Baron's army as commander-in-chief with the help of Gore. It was obvious that Asher had won a great victory. However, because of the sudden death of his father and the usurpation of the throne by his brother, Prince Fengniu, who came to negotiate with the kingdom of Baron, took advantage of it, which was a pity Asher could not let go. Asher also had the dream and ambition to make great achievements in the history of the kingdom. When his position was stable and the domestic situation was stable, Asher wanted to launch troops to punish the kingdom of Baron, who had offended hathi. There was little need for an excuse for the war, because the newly established city of Marduk in the kingdom of Baron was in the territory of Hati, which was the nominal territory of the Kingdom, although it never really controlled it. Another goal of the war was to achieve what should have been achieved that year, and to drive the kingdom of Baron to the east of the Euphrates. As for the larger strategic goal of the next step, Asher did not say, but it can also be speculated that if the city of Marduk and the land to the west of the Youdi River are captured, the whole DUK plain will be under control. But it's just a vision, and the first thing to do is to win ahead. When Goethe learned of King Asher's plan, he neither encouraged nor opposed it. He just refused to be an old man and wanted to devote himself to the study of divinity. He would no longer be involved in this matter. King Asher had endured for a long time in the glory of his old man. This time, the king had planned to rely entirely on his prestige and intelligence to build up his meritorious service, and his battle plan was also designated by himself. Goethe understood the young king's idea, knew why Asher wanted to wage the war, and knew that he could not persuade him even if he wanted to, so he did not express his opinion. In fact, King Asher's war was also related to an oracle, and enril sent down the oracle at this time to instruct the kingdom of hathia to attack the kingdom of Baron. The Oracle completely catered to King Asher's mind, and it was impossible for him to change his mind. In the battle plan of two lines of attack, to send the Anu army into the DUK plain, we must pass through the exit of the commercial road controlled by Salem. King Asher wrote clearly in the document that he sent his army to march by way of the route, and would not threaten Salem. The target of the attack was the city of Marduk in the southeast.King Asher was also aware that Salem was fighting against the kingdom of Assyria in the north, and promised to ensure that the trade routes in the Black Fire Swamp would be unblocked, so that Salem could receive continuous logistics support. The implication is that if Salem does not agree, he will order the cities of Syria to shut down the trade. If Aesop agreed, he would have put an elite army of the kingdom of hatti into the DUK plain, which was not a threat. If the kingdom of Hattie really captured the city of Marduk, it is hard to say that it will not take the whole DUK plain including Salem in the future. If they make a surprise attack from behind while Salem and enril are at war, they will take down Salem first. If he had a choice, Aesop would not want this situation, but if he refused, King Asher could block the commercial roads in the Black Fire Swamp and cut off the logistics supply line urgently needed by Salem with a single order. Aesop and George couldn't decide, so they came to the temple and called for Amun's guidance. At this time, link had replaced the fortress that Raphael had been guarding, while John was sent to guard another fortress. Aesop, George, Yunmeng and Raphael, who remained in Salem, all came to the temple and prayed to the statue of God and read the letter sent by King Asher. They knew that Amun would hear him and would reply if he wanted to pay attention. After reading the document, they heard Amun's voice: "for the request that can not be refused, we can only consider how to agree. You must have discussed it. How do you decide to do it? If Asher wants to send an army into the DUK plain, he should know what Salem will worry about. He can't help but try to dispel your doubts. What kind of commitment has he made Aesop said with a wry smile, "we just read the document just now, and Celia has sent another appointment. King Asher has appointed you prince Salem and a glorious general. Your rank and status are not lower than that when you lived in Egypt! The kingdom of hathi also granted you a large territory, which is 200 miles around the city of Salem, which was granted to you by the king of laches II. Moreover, it promised to open up trade and levy its own taxes, and Salem only needed to provide services to the Kingdom during the war. " Amun's voice with a smile: "this is something we have worked hard for. He is very good at human relations and gave it to me in the name of the kingdom. If I accept this appointment, it will be tantamount to formally incorporating Salem into the territory of the kingdom of hathia. If I refuse this appointment, it will mean that Salem will not cooperate. In fact, this appointment is a commitment made by the kingdom of hathi to Salem. What do you think should be done? " George replied, "it's very easy to handle. You are Amun, and you have practiced in the kingdom of God. Even the king's orders are hard to serve. We leave these documents in the city, but we cannot deliver them to you. You need neither accept nor reject them. " Amun: Well, that's what we should do. If the request of the kingdom of hathia is granted, there are both advantages and disadvantages. What is the greatest disadvantage? " George: "if we allow the armies of the hatti kingdom to enter the DUK plain to attack Marduk City, then the trade road between us and Marduk will be cut off and supplies must be replenished by the trade routes of the Black Fire Swamp." Amun: "the trade road in the black fire swamp is much more important than that in the direction of Marduk city. If you refuse, the more important backup will be cut off, and the lesser of the two evils. Opening up trade with the kingdom of Hattie is what Salem needs." Aesop added: "in the long run, it is always a potential threat to let an army enter the hinterland of the DUK plain." Amun interrupted him and said, "the struggle for the DUK plain is bound to involve more forces, sooner or later. Without today's event, there will be other things tomorrow. Even Salem's existing population is obviously too small, let alone the fertile land of thousands of miles? There will be more than three cities in the plain now, and in the future George nodded his head again and again: "we should have such a vision. King Asher chose a very good time. We resisted the invasion of the north, and he took the opportunity to enter the hinterland. Even if he did not attack Marduk, he could choose the right place to build a city-state." The final result of the negotiation was naturally to agree with King Asher's request. He not only agreed, but also offered more assistance. Salem city will serve as a logistics transfer station for the expeditionary army of the kingdom of hathi, providing services for the trade, storage and transportation of military supplies. It also became the foothold of a large number of logistics personnel of the regiment after they entered the plain, showing an all-round cooperative attitude. This kind of cooperation is just what the expeditionary army needs urgently. In this way, it will bring greater prosperity to Salem. Not to mention anything else, if tens of thousands of logistic personnel of a regular Legion turn around in Salem, they will not only need to transport a large amount of materials, but also be a big business to make money. On the other hand, the regular fighters of the kingdom of hathi were not allowed to enter the city-state, and the fortress defense at the exit of the Black Fire Swamp commercial road must also be independently responsible by Salem City, and the expeditionary corps should not interfere. Salem built three fortresses on the periphery, two of which were on both sides of the Northern Boulevard, which were against enril. Another fortress was on the edge of the Black Fire Swamp, guarding the exit of the trade road. If there is any change on the side of the kingdom of hathi, as long as the fortress is closed, it will cut off the most important logistics supply line of the HiTi expeditionary Corps. The agreement to provide logistics services is based on the same idea. If we sincerely cooperate, both sides will benefit. If the kingdom of hathi has other plans, then the logistic supply of the expeditionary army will be in the hands of Salem city state, which is not so easy to turn over. The king of Asher, if he had no guile, should have agreed to the advantage of each other.Aesop and others had already discussed these countermeasures, but only asked Amun to make a final decision. Amun nodded his approval, and finally said, "you have set me on the altar, and I need to devote myself to practice to pursue the realm beyond eternal life. It may not appear for many years, even if it appears, it may not be as Amun. All the affairs of the city-state lie in the people of the city. Since they have decided to do it well. " The matter had been discussed. Aesop and others did not dare to disturb Amun's training. They were preparing to leave. Raphael touched his nose and coughed: "ah, Amun, teacher Gore wrote me a letter, which also mentioned another thing. I think I should tell you." Oh, he told the old man But Raphael hesitated and asked, "don't you think the appointment given to you by the kingdom of Hattie is a little strange. You are not a royal nobleman. How could you be given a prince's title as an exception?" Amun: this king Asher is very unique. You are a member of the Hittite aristocrat, and you are the high priest of the city of Syria. I want to hear your opinion Raphael did not answer directly. He asked, "do you know why Asher sent Celia the great magician? As far as I know, the expeditionary army sent by the kingdom of hathi to the DUK plain is the Anu army, which will appoint Celia as the God. She is a princess of the Kingdom, and her father is the younger brother of the former king Lucille Amun didn't say anything, but Yunmeng was worried and interposed in one side: "how can you be hesitant? Do you want to let Amun play riddles with you Raphael was a little embarrassed and then said, "this is what the teacher told me in private. He understood King Asher's intention and hoped to marry Princess Celia to Amun. It was a long talk..." Celia is a princess of the kingdom. She is also young and beautiful. Naturally, her pursuers are numerous, and there are even princes and nobles in the surrounding countries. But on the other hand, she is also a great magician. This status makes her have more arrogant capital. In other words, her vision is too high, and many pursuers do not like it. When Lucille was alive, she had been worried about her niece's marriage and asked Celia, "what kind of person do you want to marry? All the heroes in the Kingdom, as long as you look at them, I will immediately order the marriage. " Celia replied, "I don't care about identity. The people who pursue me should be more successful than me. They must defeat me in the duel." This sentence is tantamount to rejecting all pursuers. Who can defeat a great magician? The people who pursue Princess Celia don't have the ability. Don't even think about it. As for those who have this ability, those great warriors or great magicians who have already established a family and become famous are unlikely to pursue the princess of the kingdom. But then there was one thing everyone knew, which was Celia's duel with Amon, and amon won! Naturally, this duel has nothing to do with the pursuit of Celia, but it's hard to avoid linking the two. There are many people who talk about it in the city of Hati. Many even say that only a great hero like Amun can be worthy of such a great magician as Princess Celia. This time, King Asher sent Celia as a messenger to talk about cooperation. He was trying to see if Celia would like to see Amun, and Celia accepted the task. To make amon Prince of Salem is already a hint. If the two men are really interested and Salem is willing to cooperate, then king Asher will be the matchmaker. In a sense, it is also an idea of political marriage and a means to control Salem. Raphael explained the reason. George kept winking at him to stop him from talking. Then he coughed again and almost kicked him. There is still a statue of Mu Yun on the altar. It seems inappropriate to say these things in person! Raphael finally said helplessly: "as far as teacher Corey knows, King Asher really has this idea, and it seems to be related to the oracle of enril. As for the things between the gods, I am not very good at judging. But king Asher didn't say it clearly. The teacher just asked me to say hello to Amun.

" The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener intended to. Amun on the altar was silent for a moment.
