Vol 2 Chapter 284: Look hilarious

Chapter 284
Aesop sighed softly: "My father has only one son. I have been away from my hometown for almost sixty years. I'm afraid there are no relatives there. I just want to take a look at the homeland to find the feeling of fallen leaves. My father is a businessman. Always take me by my side. I spent a lot of time in Aaron as a kid. This is the most representative city of Heaton in the United Kingdom. I might as well stay in Aaron for a few days. There are many situations here It is not the same as the countries of the Tianshu continent. "
The carriage continued under Aesop's guidance. After arriving in the United Kingdom of Heaton and falling into the clouds, Medanzo did not continue to sit in the car with Aesop. He brought a horse outside the city and rode along with him. Mei Danzuo is handsome and free-spirited, and Yu Xuanang looks like a guard samurai brought by Aesop's heavy money to return to his hometown, but Amon driving in the car seems to be inconspicuous.
As he walked through the streets and alleys of Aaron, Medanzo looked around and nodded to the little girl who looked at him, and asked Aesop when he was nowhere: "In my opinion, Aaron City only It is equivalent to a small city-state, but it seems very rich, the nobles are leisurely and the civilians are busy.
Listening to their discussions in the conference hall of the city-state, they attach great importance to trade with the outside world. Not only are the states that join the alliance open to trade, but the wealthy merchants also earn their interests through various methods. The Citizens' Representative Conference here is also unwilling to strictly investigate the inappropriate profit-taking behavior of their wealthy businessmen. "
Aesop explained, "Here there are no mountains of plain land to back from the mountains and the sea. There are a lot of materials to be imported. The rulers here are like the Salems in Salem. Most of them are smart businessmen. They More willing to engage in higher-value work, and get more wealth with limited labor. Aaron is a trade transit point between the Kingdom of Heaton and the nations of the Tianshu continent. It is a center and half of the city's own income comes from navigation. Trade profits, many people here are also very knowledgeable. "
Medanzo: "Listening to you, I think of that year. I ran to the Link Tribe to trade horse leather slabs with thousands of miles carrying things not in the mountains. So what do people here trade with the outside world?"
Aesop: "The most important product here is olive oil. The nearby mountains are not suitable for farming cereals, but they are very suitable for growing olive trees. The olive oil produced by Yalun City is expensive and is sold throughout the Tianshu continent. The wand in the hand of the Yaluna is an olive branch. They also export wine, pottery, marble, and also mine silver coins, mint silver and various crafts.
The other commodities on the mainland, including Aegi's linen, spices, Hardy and Barron's wood and cloth, and various grains, are imported, not only for their own use, but also resold to the city-states for profit. In this city-state, some people live very leisurely, chatting every day on the Temple Square, while others are very busy, often sailing on the sea and trading in commercial banks. "
Amon, who had squinted his eyes, said again: "I saw the seaside outside the city. There were people with stones, talking to the empty sea, but they were not praying but calling and agitating. What, they have no clear convictions, preaching irrelevant or contradictory statements. "
Amon looked at the distant scene outside the city with detective magic, and Aesop explained with a smile: "Those are the orator and the sophistry, they are exercising their tongues."
Maydan asked, "Why are they doing this?"
Aesop replied: "In such a city-state, being able to propagate a variety of viewpoints and be accepted by the people is the most important ability. Haven't you heard the discussion in the city-state conference, and sometimes whether a proposal is approved or not, it is not complete. In this proposal itself, it depends on who is promoting it in what way. Businessmen often hire dedicated speakers to come up with proposals in their favor, so some people think that speech and sophistry are the greatest skills in the world. one."
Amon asked with interest: "This is indeed a very interesting place. Except for the speakers, who else in the city do you think is the most distinctive?"
Aesop replied: "There are wise men and wise men. The so-called wise men are not necessarily wise, but they like to ask various questions and try to answer them, and they travel to various places to learn all kinds of knowledge. The so-called wise men are not necessarily How intelligent, but they are good at questioning and doubting, and they are trying to refute any known knowledge. These people often gather in the temple square to preach or ask questions to passersby, which is the most lively place of Aaron. "
Amon laughed: "Successful sages and wise men should also be excellent speakers. It is also an achievement to be able to clearly show the thinking in the soul so that the listener can understand deep thoughts. But they are ignored. The things that are advertised, sophistry purely for the purpose, will become another person.
As for doubting all knowledge, it can also cause people to think, which are innate and which are created by people? But it is useless to just question without giving an answer, although the answer may not be perfect, just like mortals cannot determine whether there is a in this world, but they can perceive the existence of that in human nature. "
Aesop replied, "You are my God."
Amon laughed: "I am in the city of Aaron, just your driver."
The talking carriage stopped in front of an inn. The front of the inn was a tavern and a public bath. It was a place for people to drink and chat. There was a room in the back yard for accommodation. Aesop said, "Decades have passed, and although it has changed so much, it is still an inn."
Medanzo asked: "Aesop, why do you live here, and there are many places to stay on the way?"
Aesop sighed: "Please be considerate of an old man like me! I went to sea with my father for the last time and lived here in the city of Aaron. Although they are not the same inn, I can still find the breath of memories . "
Medanzo jumped out of the stables and helped Aesop get out of the car, yelling loudly: "Come here! Prepare the best room for my master, we will stay overnight."
Amon heard Aesop's "breath in memories", watched his back walk into the inn, and quietly launched a magical magic in the soul, which is similar to the great prophecy in the legend. It is said that only gods can cast. And the world's great magician can barely peek into its mystery, which is one of the highest realms of information magic.
He saw a scene in his soul, Aesop became only sixteen years old, overlapping the Aesop back in front of him, walking into another inn with his father, and that inn is now the same location.
Aesop is rich, can afford the best room, and also has a majestic guard and a simple and competent groom. It looks like an old upstart from the Tianshu mainland. The innkeeper's attitude is very respectful, always smiles in and out, but in addition to envy, there is a bit of jealousy and even disdain.
People around saw Aesop more or less with this mentality, Amon realized that it was clear and clear, Aesop himself was probably very clear, but the old man was calm. The three of them stayed in the city of Aaron, and ordinary people could not see any magic.
Amont intended to urge Medanzo, which is already the deity of the Olympian system. Although he has not made any clear agreement with Zeus, it also means that he has entered the deities of others without permission. In order to abide by the historical agreement between the various deities and not cause unexpected conflicts, he will not show any miracles or use any divine power here, and Medanzo should also be careful not to act as a god.
Did Zeus and the Olympians know that Amon had come to Aaron? Amon himself wasn't sure about this, because he didn't feel the feeling of special attention or lock-in. He himself is also a lord god, and it is clear that if all beings act only in the usual way, they will not attract special attention from the gods in the divine realm. He came here just to listen, see, and feel, as an ordinary driver.
...
The next day, Amon came to Aaron's famous Temple Square, which is located in Aaron's "High City". It is called Gaocheng, because there are three hills here, and the geographical position is high, which overlooks the seaport. On the top of the hill in the middle stands the famous Virgin Temple, dedicated to Yarena, the patron saint of Aaron City. She is the goddess of wisdom, of war, and virgin in the Olympus deity.
Amon didn't want to go into the temple to attract the attention of the gods, just stood on the square and looked away, couldn't help nodding. The magnificent marble building outline could not see a straight line, the walls were slightly curved, and all the pillars were slightly curved inward. Although the huge stone building is extremely heavy, it looks light and agile. The temple building is also the crystallization of people's wisdom.
Amon was looking on the square, and suddenly came over and asked, "Are you a foreigner?"
Amon replied, "Yes, I'm a driver from a foreign country."
This person did not come to question Amon's identity. He seemed to just want to talk to someone. Then he asked, "Are you looking up at the temple, do you believe in God?"
This sentence made Amon difficult to answer, only smiled and said, "When you perceive your own soul, you can witness the existence of gods."
At this time, there were already a group of people watching the crowd, and the person continued to ask, "Oh, how did you witness the existence of the god? Did you see the idol in the temple, or did you hear the voice of the god? See you Have you ever heard the voice of a god, even if you hear its voice, how do you know that it is not an illusion, and even if you meet someone who claims to be a god, how can you prove that he is a god? "
Amon frowned slightly. The atmosphere here was very open. Someone openly questioned the existence of the gods on the temple square, and questioned outsiders on the roadside casually, and there were people waiting to watch the lively. Amon asked, "Do you think that there is a in the temple?"
The man replied: "This question is too complicated and human life is too short. I am not sure if there is a in this world."
Amon asked again, "Why do you ask me this question again, do you want to get the answer from me?"
Seeing that there were more people gathered around him, the man came to spirit, and opened his arms and exclaimed: "People passing by, I'm just asking a question. On what scale do we measure everything in the world, is it the will of the gods? No! One thing is right or wrong, good or bad, it depends on people's desires and needs. In your heart, don't you think so? "
Some onlookers nodded and echoed, but the person replied sharply: "Then you think that your desires and needs should be correct, and does truth exist? People in the city of Aaron, the truth of the world is not a referendum It is determined by counting heads. If you are convinced of the former point of view, can you vote to decide whether a deity exists at a citizen meeting? "
The man successively put forward two kinds of arguments, and some of the audience had already been questioned. Amon replied with a smile: "The temple stands here, and the people here have shown their choices in their way. And if you want to discuss the topic of existence today, you might as well say all your questions. In fact, what you want to ask Yes-if God exists, what kind of existence should he be? To be honest, this is the first time I have encountered such a way of debate. Can I ask your name? "
The man replied, "My name is Parmenides. Are you also a sage who travels? Please answer one more question, can you tell me what does not exist? Can you describe more than Is it something other than thought and perception? When you think of something when you think about it and speak him in language, there must be a correspondence. Can you really say something that doesn't exist? "
Amon smiled again: "I think you have already answered the question you asked, why do people think, this is the meaning of the soul to open the mind, they can imagine, yearning, and abstract the intuitive insight into the soul Vow to find your own existence in the complicated world. One of the answers to this question is what you call the gods. Although you have been questioning the gods, you are also assuming the gods. "
Parmenides couldn't help blinking. He often drew debates in the square, but he did not expect that the humble foreign driver would have such a response.
Amon looked at him, and the figure penetrating Parmenides also looked at the whole square, and quietly launched the retrospective magic. The soul seemed to witness the passage of time, and he saw the "breath in the memory" on the square. Countless people are talking about various topics here.
In the end, the god's gaze stayed in a certain scene. It was decades ago when an old man stopped passers-by from asking questions in the same place.
The old man was bloated and wearing a stained robe, but his veins and bones were so strong that he turned out to be a great warrior. His hair was disheveled, and his nose was unkempt. He wore thin clothes on a cold day, but he didn't feel the cold at all, and was asking passersby--
"Do people have a soul? If so, can it be immortal? If it can be immortal, what kind of existence does an immortal soul have? ... Why can someone have an immortal soul, and why does anyone refuse to acknowledge it? ... What is the difference between an olive and another olive? Why isn't a cat another cat?
If you answered that the hair color is different from the pattern, what causes this difference? Dear Lord, what's the difference between the flesh and blood and the passing driver under your robe? If you have all gone to a distant place that no one knows, or your parents exchanged a baby at birth, how can you prove that you are nobler than him? ... Please answer another question, what is noble in this world? "
Amun launched the divine art to see the scene in the memory, with a smile, and asked a series of questions that the old man had asked, and wanted to see what Parmenides stood in the same place on the square. .
Parmenides's expression changed, and he suddenly asked, "Who are you, do you also come from Plato Academy?"
A terrified voice shouted in the crowd: "Oh my God, Socrates, he is possessed by Socrates' soul!"
For some reason, the crowd was suddenly dispersed, and Amen was surprised by Parmenides. Amon asked with a smile again: "Let's go back to your question, if I say I am a god, do you believe it?"
Parmenides breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to have slowed down, asking: "I believe or not, does it make sense for you to be a god?"
Amon pointed to the distant temple and said: "It depends on what kind of people need. Whether you believe it or not, I stand in front of you. Maybe it won't change me or you. Your soul. It ’s your measure of the world, that ’s right, but it ’s also the measure of the world. You do n’t care about being outside the world, but you have to care about how you exist, and that ’s my answer.

At this time, the onlookers had the last person left, and could not help but interjected and said, "A coachman is not bored discussing such a problem with people in the Temple Square. With this spare time, you might as well go to the shop and transport a few Make more money when you make a purchase! "
Amon laughed loudly and turned to the humanity: "Thank you for reminding me, what's your name?"
The man replied: "My name is Dewey! I just want to remind you that all the knowledge of people is just to cope with their own situation. Listening to you should be a smart person. Rather than thinking about these boring questions, it is better to improve yourself Situation. "
When Parmenides heard this, someone took the stubble and turned to Dewey: "In your opinion, the existence of a is meaningless. People only live in their own perception and situation. Just like this driver Call yourself a god. If he is not your god, he does not exist. If he can give you the miracle you want, then he is a god, right? "
Dewey shook his head and said, "I'm just reminding a driver what to do and I don't want to talk to you."
Barnymend asked again, "What do you do?"
Dewey replied: "I like watching the bustling in Temple Square every day. It's my pleasure to listen to you nonsense."
