MTL - Pivot of the Sky-Chapter 12 Divine Secrets
012 (details)
The old lunatic Nietzsche, in his youth, was a miner in Duke Town, like Amon. That was a hundred or more years ago. At that time, Barron, Assyria, and Hati were experiencing chaotic wars. The rulers of the Syrian city-state changed hands several times. The living environment of Duke was much worse than it is now, and they often lacked living supplies.
The barren land here can only be planted with few barley and beans, and there are very few sheep on the edge of the black fire jungle. It was a spring, and the sheep had finished eating. Nietzsche really felt tasteless, so he entered the town to Hunting in the deep jungles of the east. Strong miners can also become a good hunter with mastery of skills. Although the deep jungle is dangerous, the old maniac has played game in the margins since childhood.
This time Nietzsche walked a long way, roasting his prey all the way into dried meat and fluffy pork on his body. He had unknowingly passed through the cave-dwarf distribution zone in the deep mountains and entered the steep Youdi River Canyon. When chasing a horned deer, he accidentally stumbled and fell from the cliff. Fortunately, he was surrounded by vines in the air. After pulling a lot of vines, he stabilized his body and climbed to a very secret place. As a result, he sunken inward under the rock A dead body was found near the rain shelter and his relic was obtained.
The deceased was an intermediate-level wizard, who used flying magic props to escape hunting in a melee. He was seriously injured and fell to this remote place. He finally died. The wizard was from the Marduk Temple in Barron. At the time, Barron was fighting with Hati, and should be Hati's enemy. He left a last words and wrote on the wall with a knife.
What distinguishes Nietzsche from ordinary miners in Duke is that he is literate. Nietzsche's grandfather used to be the clerk of Duke Township. In the war years, he did not know which dynasty's laws had been violated, and was punished and deprived of his lowest level of nobility. In the last years of his life, he spent his time teaching grandsons to learn clay tablet books.
Nietzsche fell away from the crowds, opposite the rushing Youdi River, behind a steep cliff. The seriously injured theologian lacked food and potion, struggling in pain and begging the **** Marduk for seven days and seven nights in an attempt to obtain pity and salvation, and finally despaired before his death.
The desperate wizard said in his last words that he no longer wanted to return to the temple. If anyone could find him, he asked to be buried here in the traditional way of his family and bring his relics to his wife and children. In return, the wizard left behind the secrets of the magic practice he knew, including not only the various stages from low to intermediate, but also his own yet-to-be-needed, how to advance from intermediate to advanced. His relic has a staff marked with a mark and several precious artifacts.
Nietzsche's life changed from then on, and he learned private magic. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. Fortunately, there was enough food in his backpack. He stayed here for several days, recorded all the contents of the divine magic, and buried the the magician. Relying on his strong body, a few days later he took the relic's relic and climbed the vine up the cliff.
Everyone in Duque thought Nietzsche was missing and lost his life in the dangerous jungle, but Nietzsche returned to Duke ten years later, claiming to be captured by burrowing savages while hunting and serving as a slave in the savage village for ten years. Until now, I finally got a chance to escape the mountains.
But no one knew that Nietzsche was already a magician at this time, and had just returned from a trip to Barron, the capital of the Kingdom of Baron.
He went to Barron to return the relic of the wizard. Nietzsche was already a third-level magician. As long as he was careful, he could deal with many situations on the road. Only in the outside world did Nietzsche realize the singularity of the miner's skills he had learned since childhood. When he obtained the relic's relic, he already had the skill and response of a second-level warrior, and he could save his life when he fell off the cliff, not entirely by luck.
However, after obtaining the classics left by the wizard, and performing the "wake of power" ritual, he obtained the so-called power given by the spirit, which communicated with the external energy. Of course, he chose to practice the magic.
In Balun, the widow of the wizard finally found by Nietzsche, but found that the family had fallen, and it was just difficult. The identity of the temple priest is mostly hereditary, inherited by the son or eldest son in the family who is most suitable for practicing magic. The wizard is a priest in the Marduk temple in Barron. His only son is not yet an adult and cannot be inherited. The priesthood.
Her husband's whereabouts are unknown, and the wizard's widow has owed a large debt in recent years. The creditor was a nobleman in the city, and asked the widow to marry him. The purpose was to obtain territory and inherit her husband's priesthood, which was common in the war years.
Nietzsche's arrival cleared the widow's widow, because the relic's relics are very valuable, almost equal to half of his fortune, otherwise his disappearance will not cause such a great difficulty to the family.
The widow was very grateful to Nietzsche and told him out of kindness: "If, according to my husband's last words, you have learned divine magic and made some achievements, and become a magician, you must never reveal your identity, and you will endure it forever. Become a great magician, and then everything could change dramatically, if you are lucky! "
Having said this, she told Nietzsche to leave as soon as possible, otherwise there might be trouble. Her worries were indeed right. Nietzsche was chased after leaving Barron. Perhaps the unsuccessful aristocracy was out of anger. Nietzsche used divine art to kill those who pursued him, fearing that his identity as a magician had been leaked, and sneaked back to Duke.
Nietzsche lived in Duke for another ten years, just like any other miner, without any exceptions. Ten years later, he left Duke Town and traveled to the mainland again. It seemed that he did not take into account the law of "Duke Town's registered miners must not leave without permission." At that time, he was already a seventh-level great magic. division.
Nietzsche traveled around the Tianshu mainland for another ten years and had many incredible experiences. When he returned to Duke Town again, he was already an eighth-level magician. It is said that the mayor of the time also wanted to hold Nietzsche's responsibility for leaving without permission, but then he did not know why he left it alone. Nietzsche has lived in the town ever since, and no one cares about him, only treating him as a gibberish old lunatic.
Body and divine magic cannot be practiced at the same level. This is a deity and a law since ancient times. After Nietzsche obtained the relic of the divine wizard, he awakened the "power given by the gods", and began to specialize in divine magic, and gained access To supreme achievement. But then there was a problem that bothered him. Before learning divine magic, he had actually started to learn skills similar to physical skill, and reached the level of second-level samurai.
When a man in Duke Town matures, the blessing ceremony presided over by the priest in Mu Yun Temple is actually similar to the awakening ceremony of some kind of power.
Nietzsche knew nothing about it at that time, so he gave up his physical skills and completely practiced divine magic, and turned into a great magician. So he began to suspect that there might be unknown secrets in it, but when he wanted to resume physical training, he found that it was extremely difficult, and even the strength of the second-level samurai was lost at a young age, and his physical strength was only barely equivalent to one. Samurai.
After all, he is old and has n’t exercised for many years. Having eight-level divine magic makes him very powerful, but it is already good to keep his body healthy and stronger than ordinary people. This unsuccessful attempt frustrated Nietzsche, and at the same time he became more confused. He seemed to be troubled by this, and his magical achievements always exceeded nine levels.
So Nietzsche often disappeared from the town of Duke, and returned after a while, of course, no one cares about this old lunatic anymore. The old lunatics inquired about the anecdotes that interested them, the stories of the famous great wizards and warriors, their lives and cultivation history, and the legends of the gods in the major temples.
The old lunatic began to suspect that some of the so-called deities described in the story resemble the existence of demigods, and there is no difference between the nine-level great wizard or the nine-level warrior. So, are they only demigods or later become true gods? In this case, is it possible for mortals to become eternal gods? If so, how can it be a god?
He also suspected that divine and physical skills could be cultivated at the same level, or that they were originally one, but were artificially divided into two parts, making it difficult to practice at the same level. There may be undiscovered mysteries, including the secret to becoming a god.
The old lunatic didn't get the answer. After he was over a hundred years old, he realized that he would no longer be able to verify it in person, so he put his hopes on him. He searched for a long time in many places, and finally found a very qualified child in a small village belonging to the cape city-state. His name was Bell and he was the son of a shepherd.
The old lunatic taught everything that Bell knew, hoping that he would try to solve the mystery that he had thought about for most of his life.
Needless to say later, Bell's last escape was in the valley of the canyon crossing the deep mountains. He may want to come to Duke town to find old lunatics, but he cannot escape a large number of pursuits. I don't know what magic magic Bell had done to a cat. This cat could actually pass through the siege and the steep mountains to Duke Town, which brought a message to the old lunatic.
It's not that the cat speaks. One of Bell's best arts is information arts. He seals a message on the cat. After the old lunatic read it with divine magic, the message disappeared naturally.
The message from Bell was as follows:
Dear teacher--
Your guess should be correct. Mortals are not allowed to become gods. The secret lies in the cultivation of divinity and physical skills. No matter which one, breaking through level 9 or higher is the achievement of the gods. But simply practicing divine magic or physical skill is extremely difficult, and there is almost no possibility of further advancement. This is the conclusion I have obtained after consulting the historical data of countless great warriors and great magicians in history.
In fact, it is impossible to practice divine magic and physical skill at the same level, at least as we have seen. With one exception, that is the most basic and almost insignificant Duke Miner skills, that was the earliest teacher you taught me. But you are also a miner in Duke Township. Later, you have achieved great success in specializing in divine magic, but you cannot make breakthroughs in physical skills. Except for age and physical reasons, this is indeed a kind of confusion.
I may have discovered a secret over the years that physical cultivation, like divine cultivation, also needs to pass various tests. This test was not specifically mentioned, and those advanced samurai may have inadvertently met the requirements without a clear and clear summary. If this is the method left by the gods, it is possible that something was intentionally ignored from the beginning.
There are many more people who practice body art than those who practice divine art. Many people do n’t know what kind of tests they have unintentionally passed. They just think that they are relying on hard work, tough will, and a little bit unclear. Luck. They are right, but I want to unravel the secret behind this luck, people will not be lucky.
I have studied the experience of countless warriors, whether low-level or high-level, and summarized some rules in their experiences, which may be the content that is intentionally ignored by the classics.
If divinity and body art are originally one, and they are combined as a method of cultivation, then there is a special order, just like the rhythm can not be confused, otherwise there is no way to practice in the same order, and only give up One achievement to another.
If you go astray from the beginning and you want to give up the power you have gained and start again, it will be difficult. I'm not sure about these, it's still just speculation, and the secret to become a **** may be in it. Even if it is indeed a secret to become a god, most people can only sigh with regret, because whether it is a ninth level magician or a ninth level warrior, it is quite rare in this world.
I'm thinking about the conclusion, and I haven't decided yet. I took away the tears of the maidens and gods of the Temple of Isis, which may help me to unravel this secret. Therefore, I was chased by a large number of theorists and samurai and could not escape. I can only convey this to the teacher. information.
——Your student, Bell
The old madman finally finished his story and sat down again to start drinking silently. Amon didn't speak for a long time, even if he had a stomach problem, he couldn't ask it. These topics seemed too deep to him, beyond his imagination.
They had been chatting for an afternoon, and it was getting dark, and Amon should go home for dinner. At this time the old lunatic had emptied a jar of wine, but his eyes were not drunk, but there was a trace of tiredness, and he dropped the glass and said, "Amon, I watched you grow up, and I was training you from an early age, you Has even more potential and qualifications than Bell. "
Amon said "Ah", but didn't answer, and felt that there was something in the old madman's words, as if he wanted to hit his mind.
Sure enough, the old lunatic took a look at himself and then said, "I wanted to train you to be a great great magician, but every time I think of the message from Bell, I always think that I should be more cautious, and the first step must not be wrong. . "
"I ...?" Amon said only half a sentence.
The old lunatic looked at him and smiled, this smile was a bit tricky: "Of course it is you, otherwise why should I teach you so much these years, you will write two popular texts on the mainland, and I will teach you another way How to mine the divine stone, so that both the body and the spirit can get the best exercise, but did not really learn the magic and physical skills, what is waiting is this day. "
"What happened to this day?"
The old lunatic didn't answer, and said a different topic: "Amon, if you become a magician, you should understand from my experience with Bell that if you want to keep yourself safe, you have to wait until the day you become a great magician. . Of course, the identity of the samurai may be a good cover. If you learn physical and divine magic at the same time .... Children, wouldn't you want it? Even in order to repay me as an old man, you don't seem to refuse. "
Amon reached out and touched his head and replied, "Yes, what do I don't want? I'm just the son of an ordinary miner in the town, why should I refuse these? Even if it's not to repay you, I will be willing, you again Won't hurt me. "
The old lunatic was laughing bitterly: "Harm you? I don't know if it's hurting you. But I often think of Bell. If that was hurting him, I'm afraid he would be very willing to be murdered like this in order to have such a wonderful life .... ... I only have one wish for you, and that is to unlock the secrets of the gods. "
Amon: "You said too far away, how I can compare with Bell's achievements, now I can only imagine."
The old madman shook his head and said, "If you can't do it, it's only artificial. If you really do it, you probably won't succeed, but if you don't solve the mystery, you will live in a chaotic world forever, so we can at least try our best. "
Amon: "How do you want to teach me?"
The old maniac nodded with satisfaction: "You are such a special child. Although shocked and confused, you have heard so many incredible things, but you still remain calm and sober .... tell you, I also I don't know what kind of secret Bell finally solved, but I've determined one thing myself. "
Amon: "What's up?"
Old lunatic: "That's the first step to gaining strength."
Amon: "Wake up both powers at the same time? You already have a solution?"
The old lunatic smiled again: "You are so smart. After listening to the situation I introduced, I immediately thought of this. But there is a deviation, either awakening two powers at the same time or awakening a power. This power contains both sides. Looking back on the experience of this life, it traces back to the source and is inspired by the miner skills in Duke Town.
Gabriel asks if you have learned physical skills. In fact, you haven't, but you just have a strong physique, plus a little magical skills that have not yet been introduced. Now I want to test you to see if you can start awakening that power. But you have to be aware that the awakening of this two-faced strength also awakens the desire of both sides of the body, which also includes the first test that the practitioner of spiritual practice faces but is ignored. "
Amon: "How do you want to test me?"
The old lunatic's eyes narrowed into a crack: "Tonight you go to Hanquan to do something, and come to me when you succeed."
