Chapter 311: Plato's Cave
Amon hesitantly smiled, "You are here, and I certainly welcome it .... The person who made this rumor is very accurate, even if you know it is a rumor, but it will come, and someone will be accurate. you will come!"
Yin Nanna's expression had eased, and she said in a coquettish tone, "Just be happy."
Amon grabbed her by the wrist and carried her over. "Of course I am very happy, but well, I would like to ask a question. What is the" arrow of love "you mentioned just now?"
Yin Nanna replied: "I didn't understand what it was. It must be just a form of address, but I just understood it. You should also feel it. Someone just shot an arrow outside the door, which is actually an emotional feeling. , "
Amon nodded and said, "Yes, I sensed that someone was secretly casting a spell on Alexander. When I went out to say hello to him, his mind was all on you. You were a of youth and love. I know more clearly what is going on here? Can God's love make one person fall in love with another, and if so, can you do that? "
Yin Nanna smiled bitterly: "As an angel of love, or an angel of youth and love, the question that cannot be answered is exactly what is love? I have heard countless prayers in the temple. People pray for the blessing of God to make another person love Go to him. But I have never used this method, except for one time. "
Amon asked, "Which time is it to the Lion King or Enqidu?"
Yin Nana Jiao gave him a slap: "What nonsense! That man was just a silly boy who didn't understand anything at that time. He just stepped out of the mountains and came to the outside world, not as shrewd as he is now. I said I was a A shepherdess slave, he actually believed, and accompanied me to find the lost lamb, but he did not know that the lamb was himself. "
Amon smiled: "Oh, you said me, did you shoot me an arrow?"
Yin Nanna yelled, "If it's called the" God of Love ", I wonder if that arrow hit your knee? You have no reaction at all!"
Amon laughed and said, "Who said that? I responded and was very tempted!" Then he calmly said, "But it's not quite right. The Alexander I saw just now is obviously different from me at the time!"
Mu Yun explained: "People and people are different. Who knows what you are thinking? At that time, you were cultivating the strength of two sides of the body that you explored by yourself. You just passed the test of" temptation of the devil ". No Affected by me, otherwise you wo n’t help me win the bet with Enlil, I was very clear at the time! ... but Alexander is not you, now you should understand why Eros cannot answer what is love, because It cannot be determined by the gods, and the 'arrow of love' may also have nothing to do with love. "
Amon shook his head and said, "I still don't understand."
Mu Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "Can you tell me why one person falls in love with another? What is this so-called love? Is it the cause or the result? Is it necessary? Is it necessary or not, possible? Impossible? "
Amon blinked: "Well ... I can't answer that."
Mu Yun stretched his fingers and nodded in Amon's chest: "If you can't even answer, no one can answer."
Amon: "Let's just say that arrow, you are standing next to Alexandria, and the induction should be clearer than mine."
Mu Yun: "I have explained that it is a moving feeling, just when he saw me. It can awaken the resonance of the desire in the heart and the pursuit of the soul, and have strange feelings in the body and mind. I think that is what I want It ’s like leaving a mark on his soul, making him never forget. Alexander is just a mortal, and he may be thinking about such a problem in his heart, and this arrow is imprinted on his soul.

Amon blinked again: "With such a big circle, you might as well simply say-he is in love with you."
Yin Nanna smiled again bitterly: "To be more precise-he is looking after me! That enthusiastic feeling has been blended with the desire of the soul, that arrow succeeded."
Amon frowned slightly: "Is that a secret calculation? If it is the effect of divine magic, it can also be eliminated by divine magic."
But Mu Yun shook his head and said, "Even if you use the most clever blessing art, he will not make him no longer want to fall in love, because this is his spontaneous induction. Although caused by external factors, the soul has been touched. Emotions are his own, and you can't make him dream about me if you pray for him. "
Amon thought for a moment: "There is only one way."
Mu Yun understood what Amun was saying and reminded: "The imprint of the soul is indelible, but memory can be sealed. But sealing a section of memory is a means that only the gods have. If you use this method here with Alexander, then This violates your agreement with Zeus .... Why are you unhappy? In fact, this method is not an unconditional success, it depends on whether the subject can arouse his admiration. "
Amon grinned again: "This also proves that you are attractive enough, how can I not be happy? But this is a trap. Someone has designed and targeted me to use your arrival."
While speaking, Amon printed a message into Mu Yun's soul, explaining a series of recent events. Mu Yun also instantly realized that she was doing a good job, and frowned, "Engaging in such a small action is nothing more than to leave a shadow in Alexander's mind. Every time I see you, I will think of it involuntarily. I regret and secretly sigh. Although he still respects you and won't say things that shouldn't be said, he always thinks of them involuntarily, which is probably not a happy thing. This is the subtlety of emotion. Small crevices can accumulate over time, creating larger cracks. "
Amon asked, "It's Aphrodite's method again, how can she always do the same article on such boring things?"
Mu Yun grabbed Amon's hand: "You have to be careful, this method is not boring at all! Although it is only a small trouble, but the accumulation of small troubles time and time again can magnify the cracks that have not been seen. That is human nature. Inherent weakness. Aphrodite is a of love, of course, she can use this type of means, and I suspect that there is still someone pointing her behind, the calculation is very clear.
Apollo is not your opponent. If you want to directly compete with you, they may not be any opponents, but they use people related to you, including Medanzo, Alexander, and now involve me. As long as the gods have weaknesses in the world, if you have nothing to do with everything around you, why do you exist? So they started from here and wanted to achieve their goals. "
Mu Yun is indeed an angel who has transcended eternal life, and once a of youth and love. Although she has been counted, she will see it thoroughly after waiting for it. Pointing behind Aphrodite was Yaluna, the goddess of wisdom, and Mu Yun explained Yalena's plan and predicted that there would be trouble in the future.
Amon nodded and said, "In fact, Schrodinger has reminded me what will happen. This is also the test I have to come here to verify. It seems to be just some boring troubles, but the means of the gods are often understood afterwards. .I also want to thank you for coming here today. Although this is the result of the calculations of the gods of Olympus, you also reminded me. "
Mu Yun also said: "Even I have been counted, it is embarrassing to stay here, I'll go. Since you understand the other party's intentions, you must pay attention to everything."
Amon laughed: "You don't have to be so anxious. Since it's here, it's not too late to go tomorrow. I will accompany you to take a stroll around Macedonia."
...
The next day, Yin Nanna quietly left Macedonia and did not stay in the Olympus. The next two months were calm and calm, as if nothing had happened.
Regarding this matter, Alexander did not mention it to anyone. He knew what should not be said and what should not be thought about. But when the night was quiet, he could not help but think of Yin Nanna's appearance, and felt helpless regret. The young prince inexplicably experienced the feeling of broken love. Is it all because of Amon? In fact, he knew it had nothing to do with Amon.
...
The wedding of Philip II's daughter and Alexander's sister was finally held. Due to the special status of the groom and bride, the wedding took place at the border of the Kingdom of Macedonia. It was originally the territory of the Kingdom of Tuaqi and was occupied by Macedonia after the Hippo War.
Both Philip II and Alexander attended the wedding, and Alexander has made a decision to choose a wife who will be most helpful to the Kingdom of Macedonia at the wedding. He told his father about this decision, and Philip II was very happy-this child is so sensible!
Amon was a little uneasy, and specifically told Medanzo to accompany Alexander. The marriage arranged by Philip II was for the purpose of controlling and annexing Tuaqi, and some people would not want to see it. It was at a wedding that Amun's assassination of Emperor Sennacher was the first time. Whether it was an accident or not, it was best to be prepared.
Amon took precautions, but the accident happened. At dusk on the day of the wedding, the magician took a shuttle to rush back to Wangdu to report that Philip II was assassinated and died!
The killer assassinated the king and escaped with the accomplice's response. He was overtaken when he fled to the border and died in a fight against arrest, so the motive for assassination of the king is always a mystery. As soon as Philip II died, the Macedonian kingdom would immediately face civil unrest if there were changes in various places.
Philip II fought in countless battles throughout his life, but his death was too sudden, making everyone unexpected. Fortunately, he had made various arrangements during his lifetime, and Alexander firmly controlled the kingdom's army. Medanzo immediately escorted Alexander back to the capital, and asked His Royal Highness to preside over the overall situation and take office as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.
When this happened, of course, Amon would ask Medanzo-why can he make the assassin succeed if he is present? And Medanzo was very helpless, he was following Alexander and talking to a group of flowery princesses, the assassin suddenly started.
This assassin's assassination is unpreparable for anyone. He is an eighth-level samurai, who is actually the guard captain who protects Philip II personally! After the assassination, people have made various speculations, but no one can say why the assassin did it?
...
Alexander had never seen Amon again after returning to the capital. The young prince, with the pain of bereavement, had to control the kingdom in the mutation. Zeus has lowered the oracle to bless the new king, and Alexander announced his succession on the day he returned to Macedonia.
He also needs to hold a formal ascension ceremony, offer sacrifices to the gods under the auspices of the priests, and accept congratulations from ministers and the people in order to become a legitimate new monarch. So Alexander had a lot of things to deal with recently, and there was simply no time to come to Aristotle again.
Aristotle was also busy. He lived in the royal palace for many days and was responsible for many ceremonial affairs for the death of Philip II and the throne of Alexander. Amon still lives in Aristotle, as if he had become a forgotten idler.
Just after the assassination of Philip II, there was another rumor in Macedonia that turned out to be about Amon. At that time, Amon had a nickname-Emperor Killer! All the emperors who had met with Amon and had close contact with them all died in a short period of time.
Someone also mentioned Amon when discussing the death of Philip II, claiming that the strange assassination of Philip II was because of Amon's curse. Many people who spread this rumor did not know who Amon was before, and never even heard of Amon's name, but because of the assassination of Philip II, Amon's story quickly spread around Macedonia.
It is said that such an evil from a foreign country quietly entered Macedonia and saw Philip II, so this tragedy happened.
The people who discussed it had never seen Amon, and most people didn't know that Amon lived in Aristotle's house. This rumor sounds nonsense, and people familiar with the matter knew that Amon's death had nothing to do with it, and no one had started on Amon's face, but how could Amon not hear this?
Amon could only smile bitterly. He had a curse, just like the famous "Love Curse" of Goddess Mu Yun. He said nothing, just waiting quietly, waiting for someone to raise it with him in person.
The day before the new king's ascension ceremony, Aristotle, who had been busy for many days, finally returned to his home. He came to see Amon deliberately, and was accompanied by Medanzo. Medanzo's expression was somewhat awkward and angry, but Aristotle's expression was calm, but with a trace of tiredness and regret.
Medanzo told Amon what kind of rumors are circulating in the Kingdom of Macedonia recently, finally gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know who deliberately created this kind of rumor, in order to force you to leave Macedonia, let Alexander no longer see you or hate you .But the person who made the rumor did not succeed, because Alexander did not believe it, he still invited you to the ceremony. "
Amon sighed, "Medanzo, you don't have to be angry. This can't be considered a rumor. People have seen the facts they saw, and what happened has indeed been the case. The misfortunes of the emperors have their own. Unfortunately, people blame me. "
Aristotle also sighed: "My teacher Plato once told a story when he taught epistemology. A group of prisoners lived in a cave from an early age. You can look at the back wall of the cave. Behind them is a fire. Between the fire and the prisoner, there are people holding various kinds of dolls, and sometimes they talk and they are silent.
The prisoners can only see the images projected on the cave wall, this is the world they can see. They take these images as real, and the echo of the cave as the words of the image. People can only understand what they can see, and it is difficult to know beyond what they see. If a prisoner broke free and turned and walked out of the cave, he could discover the source of those images. "
Amon smiled bitterly: "Sir, thank you for solving me! Is this the source of what I call the" King Killer "curse? Are you also implying the meaning of transcending eternal life? In fact, I understand in my heart that I am like the one who broke free. Prisoner. "
Aristotle explained: "I know these things need not be told to you, I just told Alexander the story of Teacher Plato in order to answer the rumors about you in the kingdom. So Alexander still decided-invite you to the ceremony Watch the ceremony. "
Medanzo thumbs up aside: "This child has courage, and he really has a kind!"
Amon waved his hand: "You haven't finished talking yet, let's talk."
Aristotle also smiled bitterly: "But the ministers objected, those generals who sincerely followed Alexander, even pulled out his sword and died, dissuading him from seeing you again."
Aristotle finally came to the end of the problem. Even if Alexander himself didn't care about the rumor, others would care. The more a loyal subject to the new king, the more he would prevent Alexander from seeing Amon. Those who are willing to serve Alexander, even hesitate to discourage death. This is their loyalty to Alexandria, and Alexandria is not inconvenient.
Amon replied, "I see. Alexander has invited me to the ceremony in order to show his attitude. And the loyal servants will never allow him to see me again for the safety of the new king. It looks like this is a problem, the king's Who is more important to the authority and the loyalty of the subjects? But this problem is well solved. As long as I refuse to invite, no one has to be embarrassed. "
Aristotle nodded: "That's the way it is. You don't have to say anything to me. You will make this decision yourself. But I still have to tell you everything myself. This is my responsibility."
Mei Danzuo said suddenly: "I must trace the source of the rumor! See who spread it?"
Amon shook his head, looking up at the sky and saying: "No need to go and track down, I know who it is. These people didn't make up anything, they just told people what happened and made everyone see the shadow on the cave .... Mr. Aristotle, it was you who brought me to Macedonia, and I do not want to make it difficult for you. Please tell Her Majesty Alexander that I will not go to the ceremony, and he will leave Macedonia before he officially takes office. Never see him again. "
