Xiao Gu was very depressed for a while. He didn't go to the doctor, because there was only one doctor in Duke Town, the priestess himself. Xiao Gu is qualified to learn divinity, and as a temple priest, practicing divinity is one of the daily affairs. However, not every priest is an excellent magician. It depends on one's qualification and cultivation.
It took several years for Xiao Gu to start to awaken his power. Finally, he finished it under the ceremony presided over by the great magician Ge lie in the temple of Syria. However, he has barely reached the standard of a second level magician. He will use a few low-level divinities, including blessing divinity, and the most important one is healing divinity.
The healing technique of praying divinity is the most important practice content of a village temple priest. It is not only a guarantee for him to be respected by the residents, but also a symbol of miracles.
It has been nearly a month since he vomited blood and fainted in public. Lord Xiao Gu didn't give himself less treatment. After he recovered, he had no problem with his body. He just felt depressed all the time, and his heart always seemed to be blocked by something. He had a heart disease that must be removed. Finally, when the time came, he called Ma Qi, the servant of the temple, after breakfast.
Xiao Gu is the only priest and scribe in the town, but he can't be the only one in the temple. There are a lot of work done by servants and assistants. Lord Xiaogu is well respected and well behaved, and his usual work is just registration. Ma Qi is his most effective assistant, helping to take care of the daily affairs of the temple and manage other servants, and he has achieved three-level physical skills.
Xiao Gu is very amiable today. When he saw Ma Qi, he said with a smile: "come here, sit down."
Ma Qi was a little flattered: "my Lord, is it too rude for me to sit at the same table with you?"
Xiao Gu pretended to be unhappy and said, "what's this? You are my best assistant and trusted partner. What's wrong with sitting at a table? Sit down, or I'll be angry! "
Ma Qi sat down at the table with his body bowed. Xiao Gu pushed a plate of dim sum on the table to him. It was a kind of fresh wild fruit picked by servants in the mountain forest in the east of the town. It was sweet and sour. Ma Qi took one and ate it carefully. Xiao Gu asked with a smile, "have you reached level 3? It's only one step away from the achievement of the middle class warrior. "
Ma Qi quickly replied, "I was just an ordinary miner in the town. It was you who told me that there was something similar to body art in miners' skills, and read the books on physical training to me, that I could have this achievement. Don't worry, my Lord. I didn't tell anyone else, as you told me
Xiao Gu laughed happily: "what's wrong with this? The person I trust most is you. If you can become a middle-class warrior, I can go to the adults of the city-state to accommodate you. If you are lucky, I can find a chance to make you an aristocrat. At least you can become a warrior in the temple of this town and a deputy to the Ministry. "
Ma Qi quickly stood up, pushed aside the chair and stepped back. He said, "thank you very much. I don't know how to repay you."
Xiao Gu waved his hand: "sit down, sit down and talk Ma Qi, what I asked you to investigate a few days ago, have you made it clear? "
Ma Qi returned to his seat and seriously replied, "according to your instructions, I have been paying attention to Amun for the past ten days. In addition to often going to the old Madman's house, he also went to the black fire jungle alone in the middle of the night, crossing a very hidden path among the rocks."
Xiao Gu frowned and said, "his courage is really great. A child enters the black fire jungle in the middle of the night? What is he going to do
Ma Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know." After saying this sentence, it seems that this answer is not appropriate. After thinking for a while, he said, "is he looking for ore cores again? Last time he found so many ore cores in the black fire jungle, he still wants to take a chance?"
Looking for the core in the middle of the night? Xiao Gu was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "what's the other thing I want you to do?"
Ma Qi also said in a low voice: "when Amun went out in the middle of the night, I went to his house three times. The drunkard didn't notice at all. The things in his house are very few and simple. It's easy to see without turning. I found dozens of silver coins and two gold coins. According to your instructions, don't move anything if you don't find the stone. Those stones should have been carried by Amun all the time. I remember they were wrapped in a sheepskin
Xiao Gu leaned over and said, "Ma Qi, I hope you will do something tonight."
After some secret words, Ma Qi's face turned white, and his expression was a little stiff. He didn't speak for a moment. Xiao Gu stood up and walked behind him. He put out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "those twenty sacred stones belong to you. As for the blue god stone, please sacrifice it in the goddess Mu Yun hall. Don't be found by anyone. It's dedicated to the goddess. I won't be there, and you didn't give it to me, remember? "
Seeing that Ma Qi had not answered, Xiao Gu put his hand on his shoulder and said, "if you can become a middle-level warrior, I will apply for the position of temple warrior for you. You can get salary without paying taxes. As for the money, if it is a gift to the city-state, you may have a chance to become the third nobleman in the town in the future. You can choose your own life, but don't forget that now, I'm taking you as my most trusted assistant. "Ma Qi bit his teeth, the flesh on his face twitched a few times, and finally nodded his head and said, "my Lord, I understand. Everything is according to your orders!"
Xiao Gu went to the corner and poured two glasses of wine. He sat down again and handed it to Ma Qi. He shook his head seriously and said, "wrong, you must remember that this is not my order! If someone finds out, it's you who want to follow Amun and try to find the place where he picked up the ore core, and I don't know. "
……
In the middle of the night in the black fire jungle, Amun sat by the spring to practice the water element summoning. On that day, he did not practice the magic arts taught by the old madman. After all, children's nature likes playing. Amun regards water element divinity as a kind of game. The water in the environment is controlled and condensed into tiny microcrystals, like a layer of fog, floating on the water surface and changing into various shapes. It's very interesting!
Sometimes it's tiny water droplets, sometimes it's fine ice crystals, sometimes it's dissipated in the air.
Amun was playing happily. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. His back muscles were a little tight, just like being watched. He stopped, left hand quietly took out the blue water heart, and his right hand held a stick around him. Through the dark forest in the middle of the night, Amun certainly did not have empty hands. He took a very special stick, which was the most valuable thing in his family besides the God stone.
Amun's father was a drunkard, especially drunk after his mother's death, but he was also the best blacksmith in Duke when he was young. The stick is a souvenir left by the drunkard's father many years ago. It looks like a branch that is not very straight. Its surface is mottled. The yellow is rusty and the black is gray. It is almost impossible to recognize that this is a top-grade refined iron embryo.
The miners in Duke town were forbidden to make armor weapons from the processed iron, and no one taught them how to make them. What they produced were iron embryo and refined iron embryo. The best refined iron ore is not mined in the mine, but is extracted from the excrement of a kind of armored animal living in the iron rich mountain area, which is very rare.
When Amun's father was young, in order to test his skills, he secretly collected the best refined iron ore and smelted it to create such a raw material. Later, he did not take the "stick" for wine, so he put it in the fire room as a fire stick to fiddle with coal. Every time Amun went through the black fire jungle at night, he took the stick as a crutch and could defend himself at the same time.
The dark black fire jungle is not as dangerous as it seems. If you don't get lost, it's actually a very quiet place. But occasionally there will be rabbits and wild dogs around, hear the voice of people on the run far away. However, in the most hungry time, wild dogs may attack people or sheep. It's always right to be careful.
Amun held the stick and looked around him quietly. The moonlight was quiet and silent, and he didn't find anything. Surrounded by black rocks and clumps of shrubs, it is the most suitable environment for hiding, even if there is something hiding, it is difficult to see. For some reason, Amun always felt uneasy. He suddenly closed his eyes and clenched the blue water in his left hand.
The blue water gave out a blue light, but it was held by Amun and did not shine out. Unconsciously, a faint mist rose from the spring and floated in the surrounding jungle. With the help of the blue water heart, Amun will be able to use the simplest water element summoning divinity to its maximum ability. As expected, something is wrong!
Within the scope of divinity, the water mist in the air was quietly summoned and sensed by him. Amun closed his eyes and could feel the shape of rocks and trees floating between the mist. There was a man about dozens of steps behind him! The man was hiding behind a strange stone, with half his head exposed, looking at him through the trees, with a familiar shape in his hand, the most common miner's sledgehammer in Duke town.
Elemental divination is not usually used to detect, because its sensing range is much smaller than detection divinity, and it is also slow to cast. If the opponent is a smart magician, it may be detected in a moment. Detection divinity is a kind of medium level divinity, and the most typical one is puppet eye technique. It can detect situations in a large range and a long distance.
Amun doesn't know what the divinity of detection is, even the puppet eye. But when he did so, he inadvertently used the simplest water element divinity to achieve the effect of detecting divinity, and it was in line with the most basic principle of detection divinity. The horse enterprise that follows and lurks in the dark does not know that he has been exposed at this time.
Amun did not move, still sitting there quietly. As the night got deeper and deeper, the cold air around him seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. Ma Qi finally couldn't help it. He almost thought that Amun was sitting there asleep, so he walked out of the trees with a sledgehammer.
First class warriors have explosive power. Second class warriors usually need agility beyond strength. To reach the third level of physical skills, they need to master the coordination of strength, speed and endurance. The third class Samurai in rod Dick's personal guard can run through several cattle with a single shot. Although Ma Qi had not received such training, he carried a heavy sledgehammer like a light and deft civet cat, and made almost no sound.
Beside the spring is a small open land. Ma Qi walks out of the trees and comes to the position where Amun can see when he looks back. It is only 20 steps away. At this time, he suddenly accelerated to rush over and waved the ore hammer with his right hand. For a third level samurai, the sprint is just around the corner. Amun has no time to react. Amun seems to have no response.However, Ma Qi just rushed out of two steps when an accident happened. His foot slipped and his body suddenly shook. He tried to stabilize his body, but his other foot fell to the ground again. Due to the inertia of forward rush, he could not stand stably any longer. He fell to the ground, and the hammer slipped into the spring. When he thought of his body, he suddenly received a heavy blow on the shoulder and nearly fainted without pain.
Ma Qi reluctantly raised his head and saw Amun standing in front of him, holding a branch in his hand, pointing to his face, and stepping on his shoulder with the other foot. The child's strength is so strong that he can't turn over. The cold ground next to him makes him shiver. Amun is surprised and asks, "Ma Qi, how can it be you? What are you doing here with me in the middle of the night? "
It's a shame for horse enterprises today. Usually, if a third level warrior is on guard and prepared, he doesn't have to be afraid of the first level magician who has just started in close combat. However, Ma enterprise did not expect that Amun would divine arts. Although it was only the simplest first-order water element divinity, the effect of control and application was so abnormal!
After Amun found Ma Qi, a layer of slippery ice was formed on his way to the road, and the reflection was covered with mist, which was hard to detect. If Ma Qi walked slowly, it might be better, and he had to rush hard and slip heavily. This is the power of divinity. It doesn't need to be very powerful, but it is controlled by another power. Amun also uses the blue water heart.
Ma Qi was very angry. He held out a hand and wanted to hold Amun's ankle. He called out: "Amun, let me go! Can you come here, can't I? How can you be so rude, child? "
"Of course you can come to the black fire jungle, but why are you following me in the middle of the night?" Amun did not loose his feet, and the "branch" in his hand gently touched the back of Ma Qi's hand. Ma Qitong bared his teeth and the bone was hanging well. He found that the stick in Amun's hand was not a branch, but harder and heavier than pig iron.
Ma Qi was flustered and suddenly realized that in this place, as long as the stick in Amun's hand fell severely, he could be killed, and no one would find out. His original idea was to quietly end Amun in a secluded place. Unexpectedly, the situation turned around and quickly explained, "Amun, I'm following you just to see where you found those cores? I want to take a chance too
Amun narrowed his eyes. "Do you think I'm here to look for the core, this middle of the night?"
Ma Qi: "isn't it? Otherwise, what are you doing in the black fire jungle every day? "
Of course, Amun couldn't tell Ma Qi that he was practicing magic arts privately. Suddenly, he realized something. He must have noticed that Ma Qi fell down when he used his magic arts just now. This is a secret that can't be revealed. He held up the iron bar in his hand, but did not fall down. He asked coldly, "every day? Have you followed me many times? Why did you come here with a sledgehammer? "

In addition to often going to the old Madman's house, he also went to the black fire jungle alone in the middle of the night, crossing a very hidden path among the rocks." Xiao Gu frowned and said, "his courage is really great. A child enters the black fire jungle in the middle of the night? What is he going to do Ma Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know." After saying this sentence, it seems that this answer is not appropriate. After thinking for a while, he said, "is he looking for ore cores again? Last time he found so many ore cores in the black fire jungle, he still wants to take a chance?" Looking for the core in the middle of the night? Xiao Gu was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "what's the other thing I want you to do?" Ma Qi also said in a low voice: "when Amun went out in the middle of the night, I went to his house three times. The drunkard didn't notice at all. The things in his house are very few and simple. It's easy to see without turning. I found dozens of silver coins and two gold coins. According to your instructions, don't move anything if you don't find the stone. Those stones should have been carried by Amun all the time. I remember they were wrapped in a sheepskin Xiao Gu leaned over and said, "Ma Qi, I hope you will do something tonight." After some secret words, Ma Qi's face turned white, and his expression was a little stiff. He didn't speak for a moment. Xiao Gu stood up and walked behind him. He put out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "those twenty sacred stones belong to you. As for the blue god stone, please sacrifice it in the goddess Mu Yun hall. Don't be found by anyone. It's dedicated to the goddess. I won't be there, and you didn't give it to me, remember? " Seeing that Ma Qi had not answered, Xiao Gu put his hand on his shoulder and said, "if you can become a middle-level warrior, I will apply for the position of temple warrior for you. You can get salary without paying taxes. As for the money, if it is a gift to the city-state, you may have a chance to become the third nobleman in the town in the future. You can choose your own life, but don't forget that now, I'm taking you as my most trusted assistant. "Ma Qi bit his teeth, the flesh on his face twitched a few times, and finally nodded his head and said, "my Lord, I understand. Everything is according to your orders!" Xiao Gu went to the corner and poured two glasses of wine. He sat down again and handed it to Ma Qi. He shook his head seriously and said, "wrong, you must remember that this is not my order! If someone finds out, it's you who want to follow Amun and try to find the place where he picked up the ore core, and I don't know. " In the middle of the night in the black fire jungle, Amun sat by the spring to practice the water element summoning. On that day, he did not practice the magic arts taught by the old madman. After all, children's nature likes playing. Amun regards water element divinity as a kind of game. The water in the environment is controlled and condensed into tiny microcrystals, like a layer of fog, floating on the water surface and changing into various shapes. It's very interesting! Sometimes it's tiny water droplets, sometimes it's fine ice crystals, sometimes it's dissipated in the air. Amun was playing happily. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. His back muscles were a little tight, just like being watched. He stopped, left hand quietly took out the blue water heart, and his right hand held a stick around him. Through the dark forest in the middle of the night, Amun certainly did not have empty hands. He took a very special stick, which was the most valuable thing in his family besides the God stone. Amun's father was a drunkard, especially drunk after his mother's death, but he was also the best blacksmith in Duke when he was young. The stick is a souvenir left by the drunkard's father many years ago. It looks like a branch that is not very straight. Its surface is mottled. The yellow is rusty and the black is gray. It is almost impossible to recognize that this is a top-grade refined iron embryo. The miners in Duke town were forbidden to make armor weapons from the processed iron, and no one taught them how to make them. What they produced were iron embryo and refined iron embryo. The best refined iron ore is not mined in the mine, but is extracted from the excrement of a kind of armored animal living in the iron rich mountain area, which is very rare. When Amun's father was young, in order to test his skills, he secretly collected the best refined iron ore and smelted it to create such a raw material. Later, he did not take the "stick" for wine, so he put it in the fire room as a fire stick to fiddle with coal. Every time Amun went through the black fire jungle at night, he took the stick as a crutch and could defend himself at the same time. The dark black fire jungle is not as dangerous as it seems. If you don't get lost, it's actually a very quiet place. But occasionally there will be rabbits and wild dogs around, hear the voice of people on the run far away. However, in the most hungry time, wild dogs may attack people or sheep. It's always right to be careful. Amun held the stick and looked around him quietly. The moonlight was quiet and silent, and he didn't find anything. Surrounded by black rocks and clumps of shrubs, it is the most suitable environment for hiding, even if there is something hiding, it is difficult to see. For some reason, Amun always felt uneasy. He suddenly closed his eyes and clenched the blue water in his left hand. The blue water gave out a blue light, but it was held by Amun and did not shine out. Unconsciously, a faint mist rose from the spring and floated in the surrounding jungle. With the help of the blue water heart, Amun will be able to use the simplest water element summoning divinity to its maximum ability. As expected, something is wrong! Within the scope of divinity, the water mist in the air was quietly summoned and sensed by him. Amun closed his eyes and could feel the shape of rocks and trees floating between the mist. There was a man about dozens of steps behind him! The man was hiding behind a strange stone, with half his head exposed, looking at him through the trees, with a familiar shape in his hand, the most common miner's sledgehammer in Duke town. Elemental divination is not usually used to detect, because its sensing range is much smaller than detection divinity, and it is also slow to cast. If the opponent is a smart magician, it may be detected in a moment. Detection divinity is a kind of medium level divinity, and the most typical one is puppet eye technique. It can detect situations in a large range and a long distance. Amun doesn't know what the divinity of detection is, even the puppet eye. But when he did so, he inadvertently used the simplest water element divinity to achieve the effect of detecting divinity, and it was in line with the most basic principle of detection divinity. The horse enterprise that follows and lurks in the dark does not know that he has been exposed at this time. Amun did not move, still sitting there quietly. As the night got deeper and deeper, the cold air around him seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. Ma Qi finally couldn't help it. He almost thought that Amun was sitting there asleep, so he walked out of the trees with a sledgehammer. First class warriors have explosive power. Second class warriors usually need agility beyond strength. To reach the third level of physical skills, they need to master the coordination of strength, speed and endurance. The third class Samurai in rod Dick's personal guard can run through several cattle with a single shot. Although Ma Qi had not received such training, he carried a heavy sledgehammer like a light and deft civet cat, and made almost no sound. Beside the spring is a small open land. Ma Qi walks out of the trees and comes to the position where Amun can see when he looks back. It is only 20 steps away. At this time, he suddenly accelerated to rush over and waved the ore hammer with his right hand. For a third level samurai, the sprint is just around the corner. Amun has no time to react. Amun seems to have no response.However, Ma Qi just rushed out of two steps when an accident happened. His foot slipped and his body suddenly shook. He tried to stabilize his body, but his other foot fell to the ground again. Due to the inertia of forward rush, he could not stand stably any longer. He fell to the ground, and the hammer slipped into the spring. When he thought of his body, he suddenly received a heavy blow on the shoulder and nearly fainted without pain. Ma Qi reluctantly raised his head and saw Amun standing in front of him, holding a branch in his hand, pointing to his face, and stepping on his shoulder with the other foot. The child's strength is so strong that he can't turn over. The cold ground next to him makes him shiver. Amun is surprised and asks, "Ma Qi, how can it be you? What are you doing here with me in the middle of the night? " It's a shame for horse enterprises today. Usually, if a third level warrior is on guard and prepared, he doesn't have to be afraid of the first level magician who has just started in close combat. However, Ma enterprise did not expect that Amun would divine arts. Although it was only the simplest first-order water element divinity, the effect of control and application was so abnormal! After Amun found Ma Qi, a layer of slippery ice was formed on his way to the road, and the reflection was covered with mist, which was hard to detect. If Ma Qi walked slowly, it might be better, and he had to rush hard and slip heavily. This is the power of divinity. It doesn't need to be very powerful, but it is controlled by another power. Amun also uses the blue water heart. Ma Qi was very angry. He held out a hand and wanted to hold Amun's ankle. He called out: "Amun, let me go! Can you come here, can't I? How can you be so rude, child? " "Of course you can come to the black fire jungle, but why are you following me in the middle of the night?" Amun did not loose his feet, and the "branch" in his hand gently touched the back of Ma Qi's hand. Ma Qitong bared his teeth and the bone was hanging well. He found that the stick in Amun's hand was not a branch, but harder and heavier than pig iron. Ma Qi was flustered and suddenly realized that in this place, as long as the stick in Amun's hand fell severely, he could be killed, and no one would find out. His original idea was to quietly end Amun in a secluded place. Unexpectedly, the situation turned around and quickly explained, "Amun, I'm following you just to see where you found those cores? I want to take a chance too Amun narrowed his eyes. "Do you think I'm here to look for the core, this middle of the night?" Ma Qi: "isn't it? Otherwise, what are you doing in the black fire jungle every day? " Of course, Amun couldn't tell Ma Qi that he was practicing magic arts privately. Suddenly, he realized something. He must have noticed that Ma Qi fell down when he used his magic arts just now. This is a secret that can't be revealed. He held up the iron bar in his hand, but did not fall down. He asked coldly, "every day? Have you followed me many times? Why did you come here with a sledgehammer? " **www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
