According to the City State law, Parangons that Duk Town each families mine, in ten has nine to turn in City State, leaves behind one is oneself. But the law simultaneously regulation, each household in book miner every year the spring , summer , fall and winter four seasons, every quarter at least must pay Parangons, this is the basic payment of taxes.
The adults on town like drinking, including mature woman, mines the ore to forge the iron embryo, is extremely serious physical labor, the legend liquor is a mysterious thing, is having some mysterious strength. It as if truly can make Spiritual be relaxed and relieved the tiredness of body, but drank is not the advantage, the Amon's father was addicted to alcohol, especially wallowed in the fragrant rich expensive good wine, in recent years both hands trembled was getting more and more fierce.
Besides the liquor, the Duk Town resident also likes various delicacies the meat, but besides has raised not many flocks of sheep in the nearby as well as occasionally in prey that in the mountain projects on, the majority of meat almost all need to ship from outside area. The Amon's father wealth succeeded in obtaining to trade enjoyment immediately, but this quarter payment of taxes that Parangons has not turned in throughout.
Governs the Duk Town collection as well as Mayor Dasti of statistical payment of taxes power is usually very genial, regarding miner occasional falling behind, goes too far, after all mines Parangons that generally will not urge not only to need industriously with the technique, needs the luck. Even if falls behind for a while, waits for luck good time makes up again together is not, because of this, Mayor Dasti since long will receive in the town supporting of residents, the day passes is very easy and comfortable.
However three days ago Mayor ordered, all fell behind Parangons others, must turn to make up neat within 3rd. In the town all others made up in three days neat, everybody had the past years surplus to prepare emergency requirement basically, except for Amon. Mayor this order possibly three days ago arrives in the town that honored Sir Egypt to be related, concrete what’s going on Amon is not clear, but also cannot turn his such child to inquire about.
When the Amon's father when the caravan just arrived in town, the hand in final Parangons changed into the good wine, Mayor ordered, he realized that the oneself this quarter payment of taxes duty has not been accomplished, therefore looked for Old Lunatic Nietzsche on town to borrow, actually only borrowed one to mine good ore stone. Old Lunatic promised the Amon's father, in this has certainly Parangons.
In ore stone will not necessarily have Parangons, but Parangons only will appear certainly in this ore stone, father's hand trembled unable to control the ore hammer, therefore called 14-year-old Amon to try.
Duk Town since the ancient times custom, after the man is 16 years old, is prayed ceremony by priest manage in Goddess Mourrin Temple, after accepting God's blessing, has the qualifications to study previous generations passed on unique craftsmen technique, the technique has to mature can single-handedly open ore stone to take out Parangons. Person who has not obtained this qualifications can only do some auxiliary work, for example seeks for ore stone in the mountain and mines, the logging charking to provide the furnace fire fuel it.
The Amon's father felt in the two years oneself physical strength exhaustion is getting quicker and quicker, the hand also trembles is getting more and more fierce, orderly, when that day feared that made Amon receive the oneself ore hammer without enough time, therefore has taught the son local mining technique in secret ahead of time. Amon after two years of practicing of grasped quite skillful, this makes the father also feel very surprised. Generally speaking, the Duk Town youth wants to grasp this unique Control of Strength style, from 16 starts to study, must be able to finish an apprenticeship to 20 years old probably, moreover such skilled of impossible utilization.
The father is startled, but Amon is more surprised, because actually oneself can study quickly. Noblemen and priest did not say, only then after the blessing and approving of Guardian God, can the unique technique that learns Duk Town to pass from generation to generation? oneself has not experienced that dignified and sacred ceremony, how to have awakened in that legend the dormant strength? He had not asked that the father had asked Old Lunatic Nietzsche, but Old Lunatic snorts contemptuously to disdain to reply that also urged him to pay attention to keep secret do not speak irresponsibly.
Amon wields the sledgehammer pounds to ore stone the time, father is very nervous, both hands in shivering cannot help but, but Amon's facial expression very focused is tranquil. The father thinks that he is first time completes this work, not clear same matter Amon has actually made many times in the Old Lunatic family|home. The person who teaches the Amon technique in private may not only have the father, Old Lunatic on town has also taught, Old Lunatic drinks frequently while looks that Amon helps him work.
The sledgehammer knocks on ore stone, controls is not only the strength, disperses one piece to have the shock-wave of penetrating power to enter hard incomparable ore stone in the flash of contact violently, in the room also transmits not the loose shake buzz to call the echo for a very long time. Then saw this to present innumerable [say / way] cracks in broken bits compared with the pig iron also hard ore stone surface, the crack interlocked delaying unceasingly becomes dense and numerous, ore stone also gradually became grey white from the shiny black appearance, did not have gloomily up.
The crack delayed the pinnacle, ore stone naturally opens has or dispersed, flowed swiftly the granulated sugar that fell, if lucky, the grayish white sand grains center will present Parangons.
Parangons only does not depend on the brute force to take out, it is very firm, the ordinary strength will be very difficult the damage, but it will be very frail when ore stone, incautiously together will change into the powder along with ore stone.
All Parangons shapes completely are the same with the size, the cat eye so is about big, is perfect dodecahedron. It has near 30, 20 angles, 12 surface, each surface is standard pentagon. It is said in the Pivot Sky Continent remote Northwest, has Sage that called Theaetetus once had said that in the world had five regular polyhedron, but dodecahedron was most special one.
It is Gods delineate the world's outline, contains Fifth Type Mysterious Element Information, is mysterious strength origin as well as symbol. Most common Parangons is colorless is transparent, with look at in the hand from the different angles it that will appear various unpredictable pentagram shapes, so perfect, eye-catching and charming, the mystery of impressive creator.
Besides colorless transparent Parangons, Amon knows that also has other four Parangons, separately presents blue, red, black and white, according to Sage Empedocles of distant place, they symbolize the water, fire and earth constitution world, air/Qi Four Type Elements mysterious Information. Naturally, these Amon listened to Old Lunatic saying that he does not clarify the genuine and fake, whether not clear these so-called distant place Sage exist, perhaps is Old Lunatic oneself makes out of whole cloth.
About Parangons, Old Lunatic Nietzsche also the view of departing from the classics and betraying principle, they are the skeleton crystallization after death of Gods, may be called bones of Gods. Regarding this Amon cannot believe that had asked Old Lunatic - will eternal Spiritual God also fall from the sky?
Old Lunatic asked that - the person in legend is the Spiritual God creates, the person will die, who then the god is creates, why can't they die? In the most ancient legend, area Duk Town was the place of war of culmination death of Gods ancient times god.
Old Lunatic added he long ago travelling far continent when once met from remote Eastern monk, called Parangons is the Buddhist relics of earth, Amon does not understand that was any meaning. Said these words time, on the Old Lunatic chaotic beard is moistening the bright red wine juice, the smiling face appears very dreadful, then also pushes the eye to say to Amon: „On continent many countries about Spiritual Gods's legends, the earth are ancient gods's body, what is Parangons bones of Gods also has not to be right?”
Amon can only treat as the drunken language after Old Lunatic liquor these, but in the heart does not dare saying that this is absolutely impossible, therefore no longer goes to think, still focused handles the oneself matter - this is he best custom.
Although Amon does not understand that actually Parangons is anything, very clear Parangons type, the Four Special Types Parangons quantity are much less than ordinary Parangons, the probability of being mined only then several 1%, some concrete valuable Amon are not clear, on Duk Town has presented special Parangons took the important yearly tax to be taken away by City State.
However tonight, ore stone changes into the grey white granulated sugar to scatter after anvil desk, Amon was actually shocked, the heavy sledgehammer also decided in airborne. The father who a onlooking looks at also decided there, the eye stared big, opens mouth to forget close, trembling that was carrying the hand of wine class still, had not actually realized that the liquor has splashed on the clothes.
Sees only among the grey white granulated sugar, there is Parangons static lying down there. It unexpectedly is pale golden, translucent, as if have the strange gloss in mysterious flowing, seems containing tears that wants the drop not to drop - actually this is any Parangons!
This Parangons presents time, the mysterious fluctuations ripple to open to all around silently, the Amon very keen detection, however accidental surprised has made him not care, but the father was shocked completely. The time is not big, well-mannered sound makes the father and son recover -
„Some people at home? I am Great Empire of Egypt Haijia Country City Lord Sir Rod Drick secretary Fayol Judas, presents the life of Sir Dike to come.” With the speaking voice, the person of speech has shoved open the door, enters the backyard across the room, arrived at the entrance of workshop.
Hears his sound to have training very much, but the manner is very optional, has not obtained the master to allow to walk, two fully-armed soldiers defended outside the front door, another two soldiers followed in his behind both sides. When Amon recovers turns head to look to out of the door, the Fayol just right foot walks out, shows a face shocking and wild with joy look.
Fayol 30-year-old age, medium stature, skin micro brown, the hair curl, is throwing over the linen long gown, the body is very clean. His lip is a little thin, eye is a little thin, always an appearance looking pensive, only then in front of Rod Drick these honored Sirs, he will show the incomparable focused facial expression. However now, in his eyes, only then that is glittering pale golden gloss Parangons.
„Thank Great Goddess Isis, thank taking pity on god, rays of light of god forever shone Egypt, forever sheltered Haijia City State...” In Amon has doubts, Fayol stepped over the threshold, caresses volume one to lean on, single Xigui. Two soldiers also kneel down along with Fayol Sir single Xi, long sword in hand leans on, the chest armor collision makes the serious sound.
„Who you are, like this comes in?” Asking of Amon hesitantly.
The Amon's father has put down the wine class to stand up, asking of trembling with fear: „Honored Sir, what Parangons this is, have I seen why never?”
„The Great Isis god, please forgive this ignorant sound!” Heard father and son's words, Fayol to put down has caressed in the hand of forehead, gained ground calling out in alarm of exaggeration, immediately saw the Amon fathers and sons also to stand there, disgruntled shouting to clear the way: „You have not knelt down!”
Fayol has knelt down, the small town common people in this foreign land also stand there unexpectedly, seems is kneeling down to them like Fayol general, how not angry? The Amon's father lip moves, what does not dare saying that does not know that before oneself should on Parangons toward anvil desk kneels down or turns toward the gate, that honored Sir kneel down? He thinks, turns toward Fayol to kneel down to salute.
Amon places near the sledgehammer anvil desk gently, as far as possible tranquil replying: „Mines Parangons time, must stand well is wielding the ore hammer, how otherwise can you see it by complete extraction?” Spoke is also studying the Fayol posture, is kneeling down to front Parangons single Xi, he had realized Parangons that today picks is out of the ordinary, these people come.
The father and son kneel down, Fayol has stood, a moment ago he looked is very clear, was that child mines Tear of Gods. Fayol comes , the ore hammer in Amon hand has not put down. But side that sloppy old drunkard both hands have been trembling, obviously possibly is not mines the Parangons person.
„Child, you obtained caring for of Goddess Isis, lucky greets Tear of Gods to arrive at the world, do you name?” Fayol looks at Amon to ask.
In the Amon heart the secret passage, this Parangons was called Tear of Gods, it seems like Old Lunatic said that Parangons is bones of Gods does not touch on slightly completely, simultaneously very respectful replying: „I called Amon, here person called me Amon.”
Amon has a full name, is called Aluohe Men Su Messiah Hehua Allah Ye Monterey, but this full name is the father gets up, only then the father had said in childhood, Amon oneself does not remember too clearly, the person on town usually only called him Amon. The father gives him to give such name is the moment, only then lineage noble can have such long string title and write it, is representing the hereditary glory.
Amon is not the slave but is not noble, merely is the ordinary common people on Duk Town. Gives him to give such name, is only consoling oneself of drunkard father illusion glory, that long string title was not his family lineage, the father gets drunk to arrange, therefore Amon oneself will not mention.
Fayol looks at Amon as if very satisfied nod , the look becomes is dignified and solemn and respectful, serious saying: „I called Fayol Judas, from rein Hittites Kingdom's Great Empire of Egypt Haijia City State, was City Lord Sir Dike Chief Secretary. Sir Dike obtains the Great Goddess Isis instructions in the dream, Isis Temple's Adoratrice obtains taking pity on god, was granted Tear of Gods, the place that arrives is here.”
Spoke these words, Fayol settles the throat clear, looked at Amon, discovered that this child not anything reaction, perhaps was ignorant, therefore coughed to continue to say lightly: „Amon, under Isis benevolent vision gaze, your lucky greets arrival of Tear of Gods, feels grateful your offering, it will belong to Goddess Isis Guardian Adoratrice, Goddess will remember your name.... These, are generous Sir Rod Drick grant you.”
Spoke, Fayol takes out a bag to place on anvil desk, put out a hand to take up that Tear of Gods, has loaded into along in belt the box case of golden, turned around. The Amon's father saw him such to do, the lip spoke haltingly to consider to prevent actually not to dare to make noise.
When Amon reaction stands up, Fayol walked, two Warrior follow closely in him behind protects, the sword hilt touches on the armor makes the ice-cold and dignified sound.
This sound makes Amon understand, even if pursues to go out to be also useless, this has never seen strange Parangons, just mined to be taken away by this unexpected visitor, only leaves behind a purse. That person said that „thanked his offering”, looked like Amon voluntary gives to him to be ordinary Parangons.
The Amon heart has the anger and unwillingness, thinks that tomorrow the father must pay Parangons, this strange Parangons can complete the task, now is actually taken. Immediately he thinks that Parangons sent for taking by that Sir Dike, if Mayor wants to investigate that should look for Sir Dike, their family|home does not have to complete the payment of taxes.
The flash flashes through many thoughts in the heart, Amon has not thought at this moment actually another Matter Fayol such does, will reveal him without allowing to learn the Duk Town mining technique matter secretly.
