In his youth, Nietzsche, an old madman, was also a coal miner in Duke, just like Amun. That was more than a hundred years ago. At that time, balun, Assyria and hathi were experiencing chaotic wars, and the rulers of syrya city-state changed their owners several times. The living environment of Duke town was much worse than that of the present, and there was often a lack of living materials.

The barren land here can only grow a small amount of barley and beans, and there are few sheep on the edge of the black fire forest. That was one spring, when all the sheep were eaten up, Nietzsche felt that his mouth was stale, so he went to hunt in the deep mountain forest east of the town. A strong miner can also be a good hunter by mastering his skills. Although it is dangerous in the deep jungle, the old madman has played game in the edge zone since childhood.

This time, Nietzsche went a long way. All the way, Nietzsche beat his prey and roasted it into dried meat. He carried it on his body. Unconsciously, he had passed through the area where there were cave dwarfs in the mountains and entered the precipitous Youdi River Gorge. When he was chasing a deer, he accidentally fell off the cliff. Fortunately, he was surrounded by vines in the middle of the sky. After breaking many vines, he stabilized himself and climbed to a very secret place. As a result, he found a body which had just died for a short time in a sunken shelter under the rock and got his remains.

The dead was a middle-level magician. In the melee, he flew with the help of magic props to escape the pursuit. He was seriously injured and fell in this remote place, and finally died. The magician came from the Marduk temple in balun. At that time, balun and Hattie were at war. They should be hatti's enemies. He left his last words and wrote them on the wall of the cave with a knife.

The difference between Nietzsche and the ordinary miners in Duke is that he can read. Nietzsche's grandfather used to be the clerk of Duke town. In the war time, he did not know which dynasty's law he had violated. He was punished and deprived of the lowest aristocratic status. In the last few years of his life, he spent his time teaching his grandson to learn mud board knife books.

The place where Nietzsche fell was far away from the crowd, facing the swift Youdi River, and behind it was a precipitous cliff. The seriously wounded magician, lacking food and medicine, struggled to pray to the God of Marduk for seven days and seven nights in an attempt to obtain compassion and salvation, and finally despaired before his death.

In his last words, the desperate sorcerer said that he did not want 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 remains to his wife and children. In return, the magician left his own secret of divine cultivation, including not only the various stages from the low level to the medium level, but also the content that he had not learned and how to advance from the middle level to the high level. His relics include a staff inscribed with marks and several precious artifacts.

Nietzsche's life turned from then on. He studied divinity privately. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. Fortunately, he had enough food in his backpack. He stayed here for several days, recorded all the contents of the divination and buried the magician. Relying on his strong body, he climbed up the cliff with the relic of the magician a few days later.

The people in Duke thought that Nietzsche had disappeared and died in the depths of the dangerous jungle. But ten years later, Nietzsche returned to the town, claiming that he was captured by the caveman while hunting, and worked as a slave in the savage's village for ten years. Until now, Nietzsche finally has a chance to escape from the mountains.

However, no one knew that Nietzsche was already a magician, who had just returned from a long journey from the capital city of Baron.

He went to Baron city to return the relics of the magician. Nietzsche was a third level magician. As long as he was careful, he could deal with many situations on the way. It was only in the outside world that Nietzsche realized the strangeness of the miner's skill he had learned as a child. When he got the artifact, he already had the skill and reaction of a second level warrior. When he fell down the cliff, he could save his life, not only by luck.

But after he got the classics left by the magician, when he carried out the "awakening of power" ceremony, he got the so-called power given by the gods to communicate with the external energy. Of course, he chose to practice divinity.

In the city of Baron, Nietzsche finally found the widow of the magician. However, he found that the family had declined and was in trouble. The status of Temple priests is mostly hereditary, inherited by the most suitable son or eldest son of the family. The magician is a priest of Marduk temple in the city of balun. His only son is not yet an adult and can not inherit the priesthood status.

Her husband's whereabouts are unknown, and the magician's widow is in debt in recent years. The creditor, a nobleman in the city, asked the widow to marry him in order to seize territory and inherit her husband's priesthood, which was common during the war.

Nietzsche's arrival helped the magician's widow out of the siege, because the artifact's legacy was very valuable, almost half of his family's wealth. Otherwise, his disappearance would not cause such great difficulties to the family.

The widow was very grateful to Nietzsche. Out of good intentions, she told him privately, "if you have learned divinity privately and become a magician according to my husband's last words, you must not reveal your identity and endure until you become a great magician. Then everything may change dramatically, if you are lucky!"

With these words, she told Nietzsche to leave as soon as possible, otherwise there might be trouble. Her worry was not wrong. Nietzsche was chased after leaving Baron city. Perhaps it was the nobleman who failed in his plot to vent his anger. Nietzsche used magic to kill his pursuers, worried that his mage's identity would be revealed, and sneaked back to duke.Nietzsche lived in Duke town for another ten years, like other miners, without any abnormality. Ten years later, he left Duke town again and traveled to the mainland. It seemed that he did not pay attention to the law that "the registered miners of Duke town shall not leave without permission". At that time, he was already a level 7 wizard.

Nietzsche traveled around Tianshu for another ten years, and had many fantastic experiences. When he returned to Duke again, he was already a level 8 magician. It is said that the mayor at that time also wanted to investigate Nietzsche's responsibility for leaving without permission, but later he did not know why. Nietzsche had been living in the town since then, and no one had taken care of him. He was only regarded as an old madman with good nonsense.

Since ancient times, body art and divinity can't be practiced at the same level. This is the oracle and law since ancient times. After getting the relics of the magician, Nietzsche awakened the "power given by the gods", and began to specialize in divinity, and achieved close to the highest achievement. But then there was a problem that bothered him. Before he learned divinity, he actually began to learn skills similar to body art and reached the level of a second level samurai.

In fact, the blessing ceremony presided over by the priest in Muyun temple is similar to the awakening ceremony of certain forces when the men in Duke town are adults.

Nietzsche knew nothing about it at that time, so he gave up body art and completely practiced divinity. He became a great magician. So he began to doubt that there might be some unknown secret in this, but when he wanted to start practicing physical arts again, he found it extremely difficult. Even when he was young, the strength of the second class Samurai was lost, and his physical strength was barely equal to that of the first level warrior.

After all, he is old and has not practiced physical exercises for many years. Having level 8 divinity makes him very powerful, but it is good to keep his body healthy and stronger than ordinary people. This unsuccessful attempt made Nietzsche feel depressed, but also more confused, as if troubled by this, his magic achievements always failed to break through level 9.

So Nietzsche often disappeared from the town of Duke and returned after a period of time. Of course, no one cared about the old madman. The old madman inquired about the anecdotes he was interested in, the stories of the famous Great Magicians and warriors, their life and practice, and the legends about the gods in the temples.

The old madman began to suspect that some of the so-called gods in the story are very similar to the existence of a demigod, which is no different from the Ninth level master magician or the Ninth level warrior. So, were they only demigods or later became real gods? In this case, is it possible for mortals to become immortal gods? If you can, how can you become a God?

He also suspected that divine arts and body arts could be cultivated at the same level, or were originally one, but were artificially divided into two parts, making it difficult to practice at the same level. There may be some undiscovered mystery that contains the secret of becoming a God.

The old madman did not get the answer. When he was over 100 years old, he realized that he would never be able to testify in person, so he put his hope on the successor. After searching for a long time in many places, he finally found a very talented child named bell, the son of a shepherd, in a small village belonging to the promontory city.

The old madman taught bell everything he knew, hoping that he could solve the mystery that he had been thinking about for most of his life.

There is no need to say more about the later events. The last place bell fled to was in the valley and dense forest where the Youdi River crossed the mountains. He might have wanted to come to Duke town to look for the old madman, but he couldn't get rid of a large number of pursuers. I don't know what magic bell did to a cat. The cat was able to cross the encirclement and steep mountains to Duke Town, bringing a message to the old madman.

It's not the cat that can speak. One of Bell's best tricks is information. He seals a message on the cat. After the old madman read it with divinity, the message disappeared naturally.

Bell's message is as follows:

Dear teacher -

your conjecture should be correct. It is not impossible for mortals to become gods. The secret lies in the cultivation of divinity and body arts. No matter which one is, breaking level 9 or above is the achievement of the gods. However, it is extremely difficult to cultivate divinity or physique, and there is almost no possibility of further advancement. This is the conclusion I got after consulting the life data of countless great warriors and great diviners in the history.

As a matter of fact, it is impossible to practice divine arts and body skills at the same level, at least as we have seen. Except for one exception, it is the most basic and almost insignificant skill of miners in Duke Town, which was first taught by you, teacher. However, you are also a coal miner in Duke town. Later, you have made great achievements in divine arts, but you can't make any breakthrough in body art. Besides the reasons of age and body, this is indeed a kind of confusion.

I may have discovered a secret over the years, that is, physical training and divine cultivation also need to pass various tests. This kind of test is not specifically mentioned. Those advanced warriors may have met the requirements by accident, but there is no clear summary. If this is the method left by the gods, it is possible that some contents have been deliberately ignored from the beginning.

Many people do not know what kind of test they have accidentally passed. They just think that what they rely on is hard work, tough will and a little bit of luck. They are right, but I want to unlock the secret behind this luck, people will not be lucky in vain.I have studied the experiences of countless samurai, low and high, and have summed up some rules from their experiences, which may have been deliberately ignored by the classics.

If the divine arts and body skills are originally one, and they are combined as a method of cultivation, then there is a special order, just like the temperament, which can not be confused. Otherwise, there is no way to practice at the same level, and one achievement can only be abandoned to achieve another.

If you go astray from the beginning, it will be very difficult to give up the power you have gained and start again. I'm not sure. It's still just speculation. The secret of being a God may be in it. Even if it is really the secret of the gods, most people can only look at it and sigh, because no matter it is a level 9 magician or a level 9 warrior, it is quite rare in this world.

I'm thinking and summing up. I haven't got a definite conclusion yet. I took away the tears of the saints and gods of Isis temple, which may have helped me to solve this secret. As a result, I was chased by a large number of magicians and samurai, so I can't escape. I can only convey such a message to the teacher first.

Your student, bell

the old madman finally finished talking about the past and sat down to drink in silence. Amun didn't speak for a long time. Even if he had a lot of questions, he couldn't ask them. These topics seemed too profound for him, too deep for him to imagine.

They had been chatting all afternoon unconsciously. It was getting dark. It was time for Amun to go home for dinner. At this time, the old madman had drunk a jar of wine, but his eyes were not drunk. He just had a trace of inexplicable fatigue. He put down his glass and said, "Amun, I watched you grow up, and I'm also cultivating you from a young age. Your potential and aptitude are even better than bell."

Amun said "ah", but he didn't answer. He felt that there was something in the old Madman's words, as if he wanted to make his own ideas.

Sure enough, the old madman went on to say: "I wanted to make you a great magician, but every time I think of the message from bell, I always think that we should be more cautious. Marduk: the LORD God of Baron Kingdom, which symbolizes the royal power, is also the ancient Guardian God of Baron city. In myths and legends, he belongs to the same God system as enril, the main god of Assyria and hathi. It is said that Marduk's father was EA, both of whom were sons of Anu.
