Amun was caught off guard and fell heavily on the ground. There was a blanket in front of the door. He was not hurt. He had already stood up and flashed to one side and said, "I was not careful. Maybe I tripped on the carpet when I stepped back."
"I was not careful. I just showed my strength, but I didn't control it well..." Maria spoke at the same time, a little flustered.
Gabriel's attention was immediately attracted by Maria's words, and his eyes lit up and said, "my Lord, you have been able to..." Speaking of this, he turned to Amun and said, "you are nothing here. Go out and close the door."
Inexplicably holding and caressing, he was suddenly pushed away and fell. Amun could not clearly know what had happened, but he had calmed down from the confusion. He should feel lucky. If Maria said a wrong word, he might have been killed. Even if Gabriel let him go, rod Dick might have sent someone to kill him.
After Amun went downstairs, Gabriel said to Maria in surprise: "my Lord, you really didn't let Isis down. Just now you pushed amon down carelessly. When you started using this power, you would not be used to it."
Maria nodded. "Yes, I put out my hand and pushed him down a long way away. Is that the power of the gods?" When Gabriel came in, amon was sitting on the ground, and Maria stood with her hand out, looking like she had pushed amon down from the air.
Maria didn't mean to lie, but on the first day of Amun's arrival, she heard Gabriel's orders. Amun was not allowed to touch her, otherwise she would be punished. What kind of punishment should it be? Would it be terrible to cut off a finger like the priest in Duke town? It was not amon's fault.
Gabriel didn't care. She was attracted by another topic and said with a smile, "yes, this is the power given by the gods. You just mastered it. It's not strong enough. Amun is strong, but you can push him down with a wave. Open a door, any ordinary person can do, but you can open the door without reaching out. This is the miracle of divine power.
Lord Maria, you should pay attention to it now. Don't use it easily until you are familiar with it. As a matter of fact, if a man who has mastered low-level physique, understands the rules of divinity, has precautions and is prepared, you can't push him down. But in the future, your divine power will be very powerful, especially with the help of the tears of the gods. "
……
Amun stood downstairs, feeling that he had not fully recovered. He still had the breath of Maria in his hands and body, which was intoxicated with warm fragrance. He didn't understand what had happened just now. How could he hold her like that and be pushed away again? He was not very clear, as if he could understand. During the day, their eyes seemed to be provocative. Last night, he almost dreamt of the same scene, and just now he really put his hand on her chest!
He was so stupefied that he didn't know how long he stood. Gabriel came downstairs and suddenly asked, "Amun, what did you see just now?"
Amun came to himself and bowed down and said, "my Lord, I didn't see anything or hear anything. I just brought water to Lord Maria."
Gabriel's eyes seemed to penetrate his soul: "don't you tell me?"
Amun: Yes, my Lord, you told me not to mention anything I saw and heard here to anyone. You are also a human being, and certainly not to you He is very clever, Aristotle taught syllogism has learned, so to answer Gabriel's question, just what happened in Maria's room, he really did not know how to say.
Gabriel's serious face finally showed a light smile: "good, good! Remember what you said, your work is done, the reward has been paid to your father, and you can go home now. "
I didn't expect Gabriel to send him away now. His work has been completed and his remuneration has been received. Amun should have been very relaxed and happy. However, when he left the yard, he had an indescribable melancholy. He looked back and said goodbye without words.
……
Rod Dick was happy at last, for Gabriel told him that he was ready to leave, and that he would be ready all night to get out of this place.
Gabriel also explained one thing to him. The reason why she stayed in the town for three more days was not only because Mary was ill, but also taught Mary some special rituals and regulations in Isis temple, so that she could successfully pass the recognition of the saint's identity. Now Maria has learned.
This made rod Dick even more happy. If he had a different person, he would have given a large sum of money to thank him, but the Canadian was obviously not willing to accept bribes. After thinking for a long time, rod Dick personally sent Gabriel a well-made shield, which is a weapon of honor for warriors, and explained that this shield was originally intended to be dedicated to the temple. Gabriel has it.
What kind of gifts to give, and how to make people not to refuse and to be happy, is also a subject of learning, and Lord rod Dick was obviously well versed in it.
After three days of recuperation, Maria's maid got better. After breakfast the next day, Lord Roddick's huge and gorgeous motorcade set off. The businessmen who came to Duke town had been impatient for a long time, but they didn't want to leave by themselves. The mercenaries who could not hire guards in Duke town got the news last night that Lord Dick was about to return. They all packed up their bags and left after following the adults' motorcade.Duke Town, which has been bustling for many days, has finally recovered its tranquility. The villagers are enjoying the wine and food brought by the caravan, and many people's fires have been put out. After so many busy days, it's hard to relax. Even the mayor didn't urge the miners to work quickly. During this period of time, the town people turned in a lot of sacred stones, so it's necessary to relax.
Everyone was relaxed, but rod Dick was a little nervous, because before returning to the promontory city-state, anything could happen, and there was no guarantee that Mary and the tears of the gods would be safe.
He told the mayor of dasty in private that the news of the tears of the gods must not be heard. But the night before yesterday, he got a secret reward. Xiao Gu, the temple priest, sent messengers to the city-state of Syria to send the sacred stones that are offered every season to the temple there. No one could stop it, but rod Dick always felt something was wrong.
He even thought about sending someone to intercept Xiao Gu's emissary, but he didn't do so in the end. From Duke town to the city-state of Syria, there is no way to pass through the dark forest in advance. There are checkpoints on the post road. It is impossible for the people sent by him not to accept the check before they catch up with the emissaries, so it is difficult to cover up their whereabouts. Besides, this is after all within the kingdom of hathia. It is a very serious crime for him to send people to intercept the emissaries of the Temple priests. Once it is revealed, Lord Dick will not be able to bear such charges.
As the motorcade entered the desert, rod Dick looked back at the direction of Duke, which had disappeared from the horizon, and said in his heart, "it's a strange place whether this place is favored by gods or abandoned."
In the eyes of Lord Dick, the miner's skill in Duke town has been handed down from generation to generation. In the eyes of Lord Dick, the qualified adult miners in the town have cultivated physical skills as well as low-level warriors. Among them, the outstanding ones have mastered the second-class physique, awakened the power of sleeping in the blood, and can use it skillfully.
Even the elite warrior in the empire is a low-level warrior!
What's more, the miner's skill actually contains the basic divinity. Although it is only the simplest and has not passed the test of God, it is after all a divine skill. If it is used in combination with body skill, its power will be amazing. The miners here use this technique to mine, not to fight.
If all the miners in the town were gathered together, taught their battle formation and command, and mastered how to use weapons, the town could resist an ordinary army. Even if the miners spontaneously assemble to fight with only the hammer, it is difficult to deal with. When he lived in the town, Lord rod Dick even thought that if there was a large-scale civil riot, his personal guards would not be able to suppress it. At most, he could only protect Maria from escaping quickly.
The city-state of Syria is located in the border area of hathi, Assyria, balun and eju. It was ruled by different dynasties in the history of war, but the small town of Duke, which belongs to the city-state of Syria, has never been occupied by the army, which is probably the reason.
Every dynasty that conquered the city-state of Syria sent envoys to Duke town to inform them of the change of their rulers, and to ensure the status of Duke town. As long as the subordinate relationship was maintained as before, they would still send troops to guard the post road of the black fire forest, collect the same taxes and provide protection for the trade routes.
The reason is that it is not worth the cost. It's not necessary to launch an elite army and cross the difficult road just to conquer a small town. What's more, what every dynasty and country needs is the God stone and iron produced by Duke town. It is not necessary to kill or enslave the miners there, as long as we can ensure the control of DUK town.
The location of Duke is so special. To the north of it is the Xuya plateau. The low mountain range near the town is the place where the Shenshi ore core is produced. If it goes far away, the peak stretches, which is an insurmountable natural barrier. It is said that there are still cave savages living in the East. The jungle is lush and the terrain is complex. It is difficult to cross the Youdi River Grand Canyon further away.
To its west is the black fire jungle, in which there is a hundred mile post road leading to the main city of the city of Syria, which is the shortest and most convenient way to and from DUK town. To its south is the endless desert Gobi, which extends to the Cape city-state border of the eju empire. If you go from the promontory city-state to the Syrian city-state, it is more convenient to go directly to the desert, and there is no need to go to Duke town to cross the black fire jungle.
The arable land around Duke town is very poor, and there is not enough pasture to feed the local population, but its products are so important. This special situation makes it difficult for DUK town to exist without the city-state of Syria, and the temples in the town are also subject to the orders of the temples in the city-state.
Another special feature of Duke town is that there are almost no slaves in the town. Except for dasti and Xiaogu, the rest of the residents are almost all civilians. This is completely different from other parts of the Tianshu continent. The reason is very simple. All countries in the surrounding area have the same law: the slave's hand can not touch the God stone, and every time he violates it, he has to cut off a finger.
Interestingly, Amun was almost punished by cutting off a finger.
However, there is a law in the surrounding countries that seems to have been deliberately ignored. Both the Baron Kingdom and the Egyptians seem to have turned a blind eye to the situation in DUK town. This law is: slaves are not allowed to learn physical arts, but only nobles are qualified to learn divinity. Those who practice divinity without permission are regarded as disrespectful to the gods and will be severely punished by the temples.In fact, it is so difficult to learn divinity. Even those who have this qualification, there are many people who can't cross the threshold of "awakening the power given by the gods". It will be even more difficult if there is no temple priest who teaches and instructs according to strict rituals. But there are a lot of people in the world who have excellent talents, who have mastered similar powers without permission or guidance from the priests.
This kind of person is called a sorcerer or wizard on the Tianshu continent. In short, it is a derogatory and evil name. According to the law, it will be pursued and killed by the temple people. And the priests or nobles who master divinity are called diviners.
Other places on the Tianshu continent also produce divine stones, but the last step to remove them from the core is done by low-level diviners, because they have to use some of the most basic magic skills. Therefore, they are not only expensive but also sacred. However, the situation in Duke town is obviously different. The environment here is so hard, the location is so remote and closed, and the production of divine stones is so large that there can never be so many noble magicians working here. All the sacred stones are mined by miners.
Perhaps it is to see the face of the God who gave the stone to God. The miners' skills handed down in Duke town from generation to generation contain the forbidden event of basic divinity. No one in the know of the power has mentioned it. It seems that they have not seen it at all, and the residents of Duke town are not aware of it.
The miners in Duke town of enshun, the city-state of Syria, can keep one out of every ten of them, which is the envy of other people on the mainland. I'm afraid that the miners can leave the temple without permission. In fact, due to geographical constraints, it is difficult for them to leave without permission.
Duke town not only produces Shenshi, but also produces iron, especially high-grade refined iron. However, the blacksmiths here are not allowed to make weapons. What they produce are forged iron embryos. This time, rod Dick secretly smuggled a batch of fine iron embryos.
Rod Dick, thinking of the peculiarities of Duke, sat under the shed, with his sword hilt at his waist, and looked at the sand dunes in the distance. The motorcade started at dawn, taking advantage of the cool in the early morning. Now the noon is getting closer and closer. The hot sun shines on the sand, and the heat reflected from all sides is gradually becoming unbearable.
In the distance on the right, there is a continuous hill with strange boulders standing on the hill. You can find a shady area to rest for a while and avoid the hottest sun in the afternoon. Walking in the desert is so troublesome. Rod Dick insisted on sitting in front of the first car in the motorcade, and Gabriel also said, "my Lord, you are so brave!"
Rod Dick is worried. He is afraid of ambush on the way. It is said that there are dangerous desert people around here who attack the caravan. They may be disguised by bandits in border countries. The so-called ferocious and dangerous desert people may be just a legend. But ordinary robbers can't attack the convoy like Lord Dick. If you are far away, you can see that there are elite soldiers escorting them. I'm afraid they have already escaped.
But if someone special comes for a special purpose, that's not sure. Otherwise rod Dick would not have taken his personal guard. Lord Dick knew that there was no one in the personal guard who was more advanced than his physical skills. His physical skills had reached the sixth level, and he was only one step away from being a rare high-level warrior.
Most of the bodyguards were in the first three cars of the team. Maria took the second one, and Gabriel was on it. Rod Dick saw the hills in the distance, and was about to order the team to turn around when he heard Gabriel's break: "everyone stop!"
It was like thunder, far above the desert.
Rod Dick had said that Lord Gabriel's words were orders, equivalent to his own orders. The well-trained riders in the motorcade reacted very quickly. They tried to rein the animals. More than ten cars in front of them stopped almost at the same time. The soldiers on horseback also reined in the reins. The caravan behind was a bit chaotic. Some cars collided with each other, some people fell off their camels, and some goods overturned.
Rod Dick had jumped to his feet, reached for his sword, and found no danger. At this time, a cloud of silver light burst out from his head and flew to the sand dune ahead. Looking up, Gabriel, with his shield in his hand and his sword in the other, was standing on the top of his shed.

She was attracted by another topic and said with a smile, "yes, this is the power given by the gods. You just mastered it. It's not strong enough. Amun is strong, but you can push him down with a wave. Open a door, any ordinary person can do, but you can open the door without reaching out. This is the miracle of divine power. Lord Maria, you should pay attention to it now. Don't use it easily until you are familiar with it. As a matter of fact, if a man who has mastered low-level physique, understands the rules of divinity, has precautions and is prepared, you can't push him down. But in the future, your divine power will be very powerful, especially with the help of the tears of the gods. " Amun stood downstairs, feeling that he had not fully recovered. He still had the breath of Maria in his hands and body, which was intoxicated with warm fragrance. He didn't understand what had happened just now. How could he hold her like that and be pushed away again? He was not very clear, as if he could understand. During the day, their eyes seemed to be provocative. Last night, he almost dreamt of the same scene, and just now he really put his hand on her chest! He was so stupefied that he didn't know how long he stood. Gabriel came downstairs and suddenly asked, "Amun, what did you see just now?" Amun came to himself and bowed down and said, "my Lord, I didn't see anything or hear anything. I just brought water to Lord Maria." Gabriel's eyes seemed to penetrate his soul: "don't you tell me?" Amun: Yes, my Lord, you told me not to mention anything I saw and heard here to anyone. You are also a human being, and certainly not to you He is very clever, Aristotle taught syllogism has learned, so to answer Gabriel's question, just what happened in Maria's room, he really did not know how to say. Gabriel's serious face finally showed a light smile: "good, good! Remember what you said, your work is done, the reward has been paid to your father, and you can go home now. " I didn't expect Gabriel to send him away now. His work has been completed and his remuneration has been received. Amun should have been very relaxed and happy. However, when he left the yard, he had an indescribable melancholy. He looked back and said goodbye without words. Rod Dick was happy at last, for Gabriel told him that he was ready to leave, and that he would be ready all night to get out of this place. Gabriel also explained one thing to him. The reason why she stayed in the town for three more days was not only because Mary was ill, but also taught Mary some special rituals and regulations in Isis temple, so that she could successfully pass the recognition of the saint's identity. Now Maria has learned. This made rod Dick even more happy. If he had a different person, he would have given a large sum of money to thank him, but the Canadian was obviously not willing to accept bribes. After thinking for a long time, rod Dick personally sent Gabriel a well-made shield, which is a weapon of honor for warriors, and explained that this shield was originally intended to be dedicated to the temple. Gabriel has it. What kind of gifts to give, and how to make people not to refuse and to be happy, is also a subject of learning, and Lord rod Dick was obviously well versed in it. After three days of recuperation, Maria's maid got better. After breakfast the next day, Lord Roddick's huge and gorgeous motorcade set off. The businessmen who came to Duke town had been impatient for a long time, but they didn't want to leave by themselves. The mercenaries who could not hire guards in Duke town got the news last night that Lord Dick was about to return. They all packed up their bags and left after following the adults' motorcade.Duke Town, which has been bustling for many days, has finally recovered its tranquility. The villagers are enjoying the wine and food brought by the caravan, and many people's fires have been put out. After so many busy days, it's hard to relax. Even the mayor didn't urge the miners to work quickly. During this period of time, the town people turned in a lot of sacred stones, so it's necessary to relax. Everyone was relaxed, but rod Dick was a little nervous, because before returning to the promontory city-state, anything could happen, and there was no guarantee that Mary and the tears of the gods would be safe. He told the mayor of dasty in private that the news of the tears of the gods must not be heard. But the night before yesterday, he got a secret reward. Xiao Gu, the temple priest, sent messengers to the city-state of Syria to send the sacred stones that are offered every season to the temple there. No one could stop it, but rod Dick always felt something was wrong. He even thought about sending someone to intercept Xiao Gu's emissary, but he didn't do so in the end. From Duke town to the city-state of Syria, there is no way to pass through the dark forest in advance. There are checkpoints on the post road. It is impossible for the people sent by him not to accept the check before they catch up with the emissaries, so it is difficult to cover up their whereabouts. Besides, this is after all within the kingdom of hathia. It is a very serious crime for him to send people to intercept the emissaries of the Temple priests. Once it is revealed, Lord Dick will not be able to bear such charges. As the motorcade entered the desert, rod Dick looked back at the direction of Duke, which had disappeared from the horizon, and said in his heart, "it's a strange place whether this place is favored by gods or abandoned." In the eyes of Lord Dick, the miner's skill in Duke town has been handed down from generation to generation. In the eyes of Lord Dick, the qualified adult miners in the town have cultivated physical skills as well as low-level warriors. Among them, the outstanding ones have mastered the second-class physique, awakened the power of sleeping in the blood, and can use it skillfully. Even the elite warrior in the empire is a low-level warrior! What's more, the miner's skill actually contains the basic divinity. Although it is only the simplest and has not passed the test of God, it is after all a divine skill. If it is used in combination with body skill, its power will be amazing. The miners here use this technique to mine, not to fight. If all the miners in the town were gathered together, taught their battle formation and command, and mastered how to use weapons, the town could resist an ordinary army. Even if the miners spontaneously assemble to fight with only the hammer, it is difficult to deal with. When he lived in the town, Lord rod Dick even thought that if there was a large-scale civil riot, his personal guards would not be able to suppress it. At most, he could only protect Maria from escaping quickly. The city-state of Syria is located in the border area of hathi, Assyria, balun and eju. It was ruled by different dynasties in the history of war, but the small town of Duke, which belongs to the city-state of Syria, has never been occupied by the army, which is probably the reason. Every dynasty that conquered the city-state of Syria sent envoys to Duke town to inform them of the change of their rulers, and to ensure the status of Duke town. As long as the subordinate relationship was maintained as before, they would still send troops to guard the post road of the black fire forest, collect the same taxes and provide protection for the trade routes. The reason is that it is not worth the cost. It's not necessary to launch an elite army and cross the difficult road just to conquer a small town. What's more, what every dynasty and country needs is the God stone and iron produced by Duke town. It is not necessary to kill or enslave the miners there, as long as we can ensure the control of DUK town. The location of Duke is so special. To the north of it is the Xuya plateau. The low mountain range near the town is the place where the Shenshi ore core is produced. If it goes far away, the peak stretches, which is an insurmountable natural barrier. It is said that there are still cave savages living in the East. The jungle is lush and the terrain is complex. It is difficult to cross the Youdi River Grand Canyon further away. To its west is the black fire jungle, in which there is a hundred mile post road leading to the main city of the city of Syria, which is the shortest and most convenient way to and from DUK town. To its south is the endless desert Gobi, which extends to the Cape city-state border of the eju empire. If you go from the promontory city-state to the Syrian city-state, it is more convenient to go directly to the desert, and there is no need to go to Duke town to cross the black fire jungle. The arable land around Duke town is very poor, and there is not enough pasture to feed the local population, but its products are so important. This special situation makes it difficult for DUK town to exist without the city-state of Syria, and the temples in the town are also subject to the orders of the temples in the city-state. Another special feature of Duke town is that there are almost no slaves in the town. Except for dasti and Xiaogu, the rest of the residents are almost all civilians. This is completely different from other parts of the Tianshu continent. The reason is very simple. All countries in the surrounding area have the same law: the slave's hand can not touch the God stone, and every time he violates it, he has to cut off a finger. Interestingly, Amun was almost punished by cutting off a finger. However, there is a law in the surrounding countries that seems to have been deliberately ignored. Both the Baron Kingdom and the Egyptians seem to have turned a blind eye to the situation in DUK town. This law is: slaves are not allowed to learn physical arts, but only nobles are qualified to learn divinity. Those who practice divinity without permission are regarded as disrespectful to the gods and will be severely punished by the temples.In fact, it is so difficult to learn divinity. Even those who have this qualification, there are many people who can't cross the threshold of "awakening the power given by the gods". It will be even more difficult if there is no temple priest who teaches and instructs according to strict rituals. But there are a lot of people in the world who have excellent talents, who have mastered similar powers without permission or guidance from the priests. This kind of person is called a sorcerer or wizard on the Tianshu continent. In short, it is a derogatory and evil name. According to the law, it will be pursued and killed by the temple people. And the priests or nobles who master divinity are called diviners. Other places on the Tianshu continent also produce divine stones, but the last step to remove them from the core is done by low-level diviners, because they have to use some of the most basic magic skills. Therefore, they are not only expensive but also sacred. However, the situation in Duke town is obviously different. The environment here is so hard, the location is so remote and closed, and the production of divine stones is so large that there can never be so many noble magicians working here. All the sacred stones are mined by miners. Perhaps it is to see the face of the God who gave the stone to God. The miners' skills handed down in Duke town from generation to generation contain the forbidden event of basic divinity. No one in the know of the power has mentioned it. It seems that they have not seen it at all, and the residents of Duke town are not aware of it. The miners in Duke town of enshun, the city-state of Syria, can keep one out of every ten of them, which is the envy of other people on the mainland. I'm afraid that the miners can leave the temple without permission. In fact, due to geographical constraints, it is difficult for them to leave without permission. Duke town not only produces Shenshi, but also produces iron, especially high-grade refined iron. However, the blacksmiths here are not allowed to make weapons. What they produce are forged iron embryos. This time, rod Dick secretly smuggled a batch of fine iron embryos. Rod Dick, thinking of the peculiarities of Duke, sat under the shed, with his sword hilt at his waist, and looked at the sand dunes in the distance. The motorcade started at dawn, taking advantage of the cool in the early morning. Now the noon is getting closer and closer. The hot sun shines on the sand, and the heat reflected from all sides is gradually becoming unbearable. In the distance on the right, there is a continuous hill with strange boulders standing on the hill. You can find a shady area to rest for a while and avoid the hottest sun in the afternoon. Walking in the desert is so troublesome. Rod Dick insisted on sitting in front of the first car in the motorcade, and Gabriel also said, "my Lord, you are so brave!" Rod Dick is worried. He is afraid of ambush on the way. It is said that there are dangerous desert people around here who attack the caravan. They may be disguised by bandits in border countries. The so-called ferocious and dangerous desert people may be just a legend. But ordinary robbers can't attack the convoy like Lord Dick. If you are far away, you can see that there are elite soldiers escorting them. I'm afraid they have already escaped. But if someone special comes for a special purpose, that's not sure. Otherwise rod Dick would not have taken his personal guard. Lord Dick knew that there was no one in the personal guard who was more advanced than his physical skills. His physical skills had reached the sixth level, and he was only one step away from being a rare high-level warrior. Most of the bodyguards were in the first three cars of the team. Maria took the second one, and Gabriel was on it. Rod Dick saw the hills in the distance, and was about to order the team to turn around when he heard Gabriel's break: "everyone stop!" It was like thunder, far above the desert. Rod Dick had said that Lord Gabriel's words were orders, equivalent to his own orders. The well-trained riders in the motorcade reacted very quickly. They tried to rein the animals. More than ten cars in front of them stopped almost at the same time. The soldiers on horseback also reined in the reins. The caravan behind was a bit chaotic. Some cars collided with each other, some people fell off their camels, and some goods overturned. Rod Dick had jumped to his feet, reached for his sword, and found no danger. At this time, a cloud of silver light burst out from his head and flew to the sand dune ahead. Looking up, Gabriel, with his shield in his hand and his sword in the other, was standing on the top of his shed. **www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
