Vol 2 Chapter 65: Awkward last words

Chapter 065: Awkward Last Words
Rod Dick has the skills of a smart politician who can steer an unexpected emergency in the most favorable direction. There is no script for this scene in advance, but if a dramatist designed it, the best effect would be the same. When he took the staff and heard the cheers of the people, the prestige of the gods also increased the prestige of the Lord. Amon, who was kneeling behind the guard, was the most crucial person, but at this moment it seemed to be a running dragon.
After Roddick thanked the god, he got up and took the staff to lead the crowd to Amon. He stretched out a hand and lifted him up and asked, "This righteous man, where have you found the cave?" There are relics of Lord Nero and relics? "
Amon replied: "In the deep mountains on the west bank of the Youdi River, where there are few humans, only beasts are infested. I happened to see it because I chased the beast and slipped off the cliff. There is a handwriting in the cave below the cliff, and there is a staff and A ring. "Then he took out the ring and returned it to Rod Dick in public.
Rod Dick's hand sank slightly. The weight of this ring is not too light, it is obviously a space weapon containing things. Rod Dick himself is a sixth-level samurai who has learned elementary magic, but he also does not have the ability to use the space magic weapon, so he will feel heavy when he starts, but he does not know what is inside.
Fayol Judah asked, "Amon, you are a hunter, how do you know the word?"
Amon did not have a good impression on the clerk, and calmly replied: "I am a hunter, but my grandfather is not, he is a punished clerk."
With a frown on his face, Fayol Judah asked, "The mountains on the west bank of the Youdi River should be in the territory of the Hati Kingdom. If you are a Hati, how can you know the words of Eju?"
Amon explained naturally: "Master Nero's last words are written in two languages."
Of course, he couldn't tell the whole truth. This was actually the experience of the old lunatic who saw Medanzo's great-grandfather's last words in the mountains. Amon just borrowed it and changed it into the last word of Master Nero. Bell's original message in the mysterious cave was written in two languages. Facing Juda's questioning, Amonson answered it with his mouth.
As for Nero's last words, they were completely true. Amon did not make up other things. There is information left by Nero in the pupil of the earth inlaid on the staff. As long as Rod Dick makes it clear, it cannot be faked, but Amon can't say that he has read this information. Otherwise, the identity of the magician will be exposed.
The languages ​​of Tianshu mainland are different, but the languages ​​are similar, and there are no obstacles to communication. Amon did not conceal his identity as a foreigner because his accent was still traced. Rod Dick realized that it was inappropriate to ask too many questions here, and when it was not commonplace in the crowd of people, he held Amon's arm and said, "This righteous man comes from afar, so stop talking in the square. Let ’s go to the temple and talk in detail.

Lord Dick didn't go home in the afternoon, changed his mind and returned to the Temple of Horus. The adults crowded behind him and climbed the long stone steps, and the people still cheered.
Fayol Judah walked behind, always feeling that Amon's accent just now is familiar and impressed in his memory. He looked at the back of Amon. Although he was standing next to Lord Rod Dick and surrounded by noble adults, but the boy was very stable, his waist was straight, and there was no embarrassment or panic. There was a flash of light in his mind, and he suddenly remembered something!
Two years ago in the remote and desolate Duke town, one of Fayol Judah's most proud deeds was to take away the tears of the gods that had just been mined, and made Lord Rod Dick the first choice. The Virgin's plan succeeds. As for who is the miner who mines the tears of the gods, it is not important, the stone of Duke Town must be mined by a miner, it is just his luck.
But Fayol always remembered that when he walked into the low house, the young man with a sledgehammer did not immediately kneel. He stood very straight in front of the anvil, just like this figure, but Not yet fully grown up. In his memory, the young man only said three words at that time. Fayol Judah has not forgotten so far--
"Who are you, just come in like this?"
"When mining the stone, you must stand before you can swing the hammer, otherwise how can you see that it has been removed intact?"
"My name is Amon. Everyone here calls me Amon."
Yes, it is him. The name that the boy just said to Aristotle was Amon! Fayol Judah shouted in his heart, he finally recognized Amon, the young miner who dug the tears of gods in Duke Town. I thought I would never see each other again. I never saw him again. At this moment, Master Dick walked arm in arm in the cheers of all peoples.
Would you tell Master Dick? If it were said, Amon would be more grateful. But Fayol Judah was worried about something. Lord Dick gave him thirty gold coins as a thank you to the miners, but he only gave thirty silver coins to Amon. This was a trivial matter, and no one would blame a clerk for occasionally filling his pockets, but in today's circumstances, telling the matter publicly, Fayol Judah has no face to face.
Many so-called "little things" are like this, as if it doesn't matter, but being uprightly revealed is a stain on noble conduct. Listening to the cheering of the peoples, in this case if Fayor Judah talks about the past, don't want to look up again.
Does Amon know himself? Fayol Judah said to himself in the hope that he had forgotten it. But reason tells Judas again that this is impossible, and think of yourself, if you are that miner, you will never forget that scene. Will Amon talk about the past? I hope he doesn't talk, even if I talk about it, there is no need to talk about the small details of the thirty silver coins.
The last time I got the tears of the gods, Roddick thanked the mayor of Dusty, but this time, it was only Amon himself who would be thanked. Returning the staff of the Lord Priest, and facing the peoples in the Temple Square, this scene is perfect. Thirty silver coins are worthless compared to the generous gifts to be received. The child must not know that Rod Dick gave 30 gold coins. Fayol Judah keeps comforting himself in his heart.
At the same time Judas was still thinking in his heart that this child was so lucky! It was he who mined the tears of the gods and made Rod Dick's plan successful. Today, he returned Nero's lost staff in public and brought Rod Dick's reputation to a new height. He's almost like a who cares for Rod Dick. Why did all the good things run into a humble little miner? This is too unfair!
Didn't Duke Town have been destroyed by the flood and no one survived? Why isn't he dead yet!
No one knows so many thoughts in Fayol Judah. ​​The long steps in front of the temple seem so long and the weather is not hot, but Judas's forehead oozes sweat.
It wasn't just Fayol Judah who recognized Amon, Aristotle also recognized him. He saved the child in the square and sent him to the Virgin Mary for three days as a servant. . However, Amon did not mention Roddick's past, nor did he show how he knew Aristotle, apparently he did not want to mention it, and Amon's appearance did change a lot, and he could hardly recognize it.
I heard that the town of Duke has been destroyed by the flood, so this surviving child must have experienced too much suffering and it is normal to not want to mention the sad past again. Who can have a secret that he doesn't want to mention, as long as he doesn't say it, Aristotle doesn't want to break it, which is Amon's own thing after all.
Aristotle is also lamenting that this young miner named Amon really looks like a who cares for Rod Dick. Not only did he mine the tears of the gods at the most appropriate time, but also the most appropriate The timing returned the staff of the priest. As Rod Dick's most valued and trusted aide, Aristotle knew what the young city lords had been worrying about.
The Aegean Empire is powerful, but the cape city-states on the northeast border are relatively weak. In the event of a conflict between the two city-states of the neighboring Kingdoms of Barron and Hati, the cape-city states will be quite passive.
The Uruk city-state of the Balun Kingdom has the great hero Gilgamesh and the first warrior of the mainland, En Qidu, to hold the throat of the Youdi River and no one dares to attack them. But if they attack the Aegean Empire westward, how can the cape city-state resist? The relationship between the Kingdom of Balun and the Empire of Eju is fairly peaceful, and there is not much danger of war for the time being, but on the other hand, the Kingdom of Hatti may be uncertain.
On the surface, the Hati Kingdom has been surrendered to the Aju Empire for many years, but it is precisely because of their dissatisfaction with the fate of such surrender that they have continuously accumulated resistance. A major flood cut off land traffic, leaving the cape city-state temporarily free, but the flood cannot never go back. The soldiers of the Syrian city-state are well-equipped, and above all they are united.
I heard that the chief deity officer Ge Lie led the crowd to protect the city, and later became a nine-level great magician. His reputation is unparalleled, and he has more authority than the gods in the city of Syria. This cohesiveness of the people's aspirations is the most terrible weapon in the war, and it can make the people forge ahead towards one goal.
In the battlefield of thousands of troops, the personal strength of the top continents in the country, such as Gilgamesh, Enqidu, and Gelie, may not be the decisive factor. They are really powerful in their appeal and cohesion among the people. In contrast, although Rod Dick was also a very capable city owner, he could not reach that height. So when Amon returned the staff in public, Roddick would be so excited, the always calm Lord Lord was shaking with his hands.
A strong empire and a relatively weak city-state are in a very important strategic position and face potential war threats. This is what Rod Dick is most worried about. You can't blame the Lord City Lord for thinking so long. Once something happens, he can't escape, he is not only the City Lord, but also the territory of the family generations in the cape city.
On the other hand, personal strength is not a decisive factor in winning the army, but it is also a symbol and a guarantee of stability. After the death of Nero, the cape city-state has not had a great wizard for more than thirty years, and it is obviously at a disadvantage compared to Barron's Uruk city-state and Hati's Suya city-state.
Since Maria became a maiden, she has gradually mastered some important matters of the Temple of Mephis Isis. Rod Dick has repeatedly applied for sending a great theorist to sit on the Cape Temple, but there has been no reply. Not long ago, the maiden finally ordered people to send a letter, and an eight-level great magician would be sent to visit the temples on the border.
Rod Dick is ready to receive everything, and would like to take this opportunity to invite the great wizard to stay as the chief priest of the cape city-state. But how do you say that? Whoever wants to leave the bustling and comfortable Monexis and come to the promontory for a long stay, an eight-level great magic can live comfortably anywhere. The day before the arrival of the great wizard, the staff of the master priest was miraculously returned, giving Rod Dick a good excuse and a chance to make a request.
Amon naturally did not know that he had arrived in such a complicated background. In fact, his impression of Rod Dick has always been very good. It was because of the arrival of the Lord of the City that Amon had the opportunity to meet Ai Kou, so there was always an inexplicable gratitude in his heart. Ai Kou was once An Lord of the City delivered to him.
The temple of the cape city-state is much more majestic than the temple of Horus in Duke. When you enter the hall, you first worship the statue of Horus in the center. For the first time, Amon looked carefully at the legendary deity. Although Duke Town also had the Temple of Horus, it was only a symbol of surrender to the Empire of Eju, and no one usually offered a sacrifice.
The goddess of Horus here is more than fifty feet high, arms crossed on the chest, and a pair of huge wings hangs behind his shoulders. The human body is carved with an eagle's head, and the look is better than the eagle's beak Be sharp. According to legend, the incarnation of Horus was a condor traveling in the sky, so the craftsman created such an idol. The huge idols have an indescribable sense of oppression. Everyone enters the temple and worships involuntarily.
After worshipping the gods, Amon was invited to sit in a side hall. Among the noble adults, Amon didn't look too flattered. He had talked face to face with the princess of the kingdom and walked the prairie with a goddess. This scene was no longer so.
Rod Dick was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "Our righteous Amon, you have a different kind of personality, firm and quiet, even if you are sitting next to noble adults, you are not at a loss, this is for young people It's hard to say! "
Amon owed himself and explained: "I hunted ferocious beasts in dangerous mountains, and I have experienced countless trials of life and death, and I am rarely scared."
Rod Dick: "Oh, that's the case, you are created by chance! You found Master Nero's last words, but also during the hunt, can you tell me in detail?"
Amon changed the old madman's story back to time and persona, and retelled Nero's last words and events. Finally, he explained: "I read the text on the cave. Lord Nero hopes that someone will find it and return his relics to the cape city-state, return the staff to the temple, and return the relics in the ring to his family as will."
He did not repeat the words in the pupil of the earth, but he did not conceal what he got, and spoke about the three scrolls. Anyway, as long as Rod Dick checked the message, he would be clear. Rod Dick asked with interest: "Excuse me, did the three scrolls bring you? It doesn't mean anything, it's your Lord Nero's reward for you, I'm just curious."
Those three scrolls, Amon, couldn't get out, and didn't want to take them out, let alone two of them had already been used up. He replied with regret: "I lost my footsteps and fell on the cliff to discover Lord Nero's last words. The mountain road is very dangerous. When I got out of trouble, I was accidentally cut by the thorns, and the three scrolls were lost. Fortunately The staff and ring are still there. "
Rod Dick sighed, "It's a blessing in misfortune, and don't be sad, I will thank you very much .... Please wait a moment, we are going to examine the information left in the staff."
It is not difficult to check the information in the staff, as long as you master intermediate-level information magic, they are not in front of Amon. Nero's message is very important, and may also involve some confidentiality, which is not suitable for a foreign country. People learned. In a small meditation room of the temple, Rod Dick handed the staff to the oldest priest. Not only was the chief executive of the city-state department, the three high priests of the temple, but also some members of the Lington family. Heirs.
Nero is just a name. As a full-time priest who dedicated his whole body to the deities, he used the name registered on the temple directory. People used to call him no longer with the family name. Nero was born in the family of the great aristocracy of the cape city. Nero himself has no children, but there are nine adult nephews in the family. They should also be present. Rod Dick was very thoughtful and sent fast horses to pick up all the people he could pick up.
When the priest held up his staff, the voice of Nero more than thirty years ago echoed in the quiet room— "People who are lucky enough to be here and pick up my staff, no matter who you are, please listen to my last As a last word, I am Nero, a master priest from the cape city-state of the Aegi Empire, and a level seven magician .... When you return the staff to the cape temple, please find Lord Dick and ask him to ask for a master of high-level space gods. The great magician of the art, took out the will in the ring, read it out in public and notarized it. Master Dick is trustworthy. "
After hearing the last words, everyone was discolored. Nero's last words related to some secrets, including his doubts and hesitations on the gods when he was facing death. These are not suitable for disclosure. Thirty years ago, Bell's past has been official, and details cannot be circulated. Although Nero claimed in his last words that he had not betrayed the gods, this had a negative impact on his reputation after death and on the hearts and minds of the city-state people.
The crowd did not speak for a long time, and Rod Dick first responded and whispered: "Can the information recorded in the pupil of the earth be erased? We have all heard Lord Nero's last words, the people present It ’s all testimony, that ’s enough!
