Vol 2 Chapter 66: The nephews of the Arlington family

Chapter 066: Nephews of the Linton Family
The priest replied: "I can only read but cannot erase the information, unless it is a great magician. Lord Julian, the high priest of the Temple of Dreams, will come to the cape city, and the Lord of the city can Ask him to shoot. "
Rod Dick nodded and said, "Noror, our venerable great magician, said something that should not be said before, and also said something that shouldn't be said, but he kept absolute devotion to the gods and the empire. Loyal, and gave his life for that. Everyone here must understand that what we hear today must not be leaked, or it will become a traitor to the entire city-state! "
Everyone nodded silently, there are indeed some words in Nero's last words, mainly these paragraphs-
"It's not only the gods who have the will in this world. I'm surprised where Bell's strength and courage come from. When he passed the cape city, I advised him to return to the embrace of the temple, but he was not left. Bell told me Mortals can also become gods. At this point, gods have deceived everyone, and we are all deceived.
Great Horus, I admit I'm curious! I once said to Bell, "Don't seduce me", I have already rejected the temptation of the devil. But is the eternal temptation to become a really the devil inside people? I hope to get the answer, even at the last minute of my life. Did Bell destroy himself because of this temptation?
I want to see Bell confirm the answer, so let him and Cong Ni leave the border of Eju. Although I can't stop him alone, I didn't do my best to stop it. He was my tribe and my benefactor, and I couldn't make up my mind to challenge him with all courage. "
Rod Dick knew the stakes, and issued a strict order on the spot. In fact, Amon is also more or less clear. When describing the content of the text he saw in the cave, he did not mention these, but Amon was not a member of the official Eju Empire. He did not take the problem seriously, just to try his best. Avoid trouble and omit some less appropriate words.
The people remained silent for a while, or Nero's oldest nephew, the current owner of the Lington family, Barrington. Finally, he couldn't help but said, "I want to know what my uncle left us, and the will is here. where?"
Rod Dick took out the ring and placed it on the table, with a bitter smile: "The will and things are in this ring. This ring itself is also a precious space object, something that your family has inherited. But unfortunately No one of us can open it, and we can only wait for Master Julian of Monex to arrive tomorrow and ask him to handle it. "
The Ringtons' nephews looked at the ring and couldn't hide the fiery desire in their eyes. The Arlington family was very rich, and was once the second largest aristocratic family in the cape city-state after the Dick family. Nero, the chief priest of the city-state, had absolute authority over all wealth in his family, but he was a prodigal when he was young.
The "hobby" of making scrolls is not something that ordinary people can afford. It not only consumes a lot of effort and mana, but also consumes a huge amount of wealth. Many materials for making scrolls are quite expensive or even impossible to buy. After Nero became a great wizard at a young age, forty years of time, endless hard work, and countless wealth have been used to satisfy his hobby of making scrolls.
The family's wealth has shrunk for this. Although it can't be said that it is declining, it is far less impressive than it was at first. Especially after Nero disappeared, the Lington family did not have outstanding talents. Now it is just an ordinary noble family That's it. However, Nero himself made scrolls, and it is no longer a loss of money. On the contrary, it has become a means of accumulating huge wealth, because he has become the best scroll master in All Egypt.
Of course, it is not necessary for Nero to do all the work of making the scrolls. He can mobilize the power of the city and the temple, complete the preparation of various materials and auxiliary work for him. In return, he also leaves some scrolls for him. City states and temples. But on the other hand, he also produced a large number of private scrolls, such as the three "given" to Amon.
These scrolls are of great value. As long as the wizards of the entire continent have enough financial resources, they will be willing to buy them with heavy money, afraid that they will not buy them or Nero will not sell them. Nero will only transfer some scrolls or promise to produce for the other party only if someone with a good relationship comes to the door. Even after receiving the scrolls offered by Nero, the Iju Theological Academy spent a lot of money to personally order a batch from him.
Nero set out to kill Bell in secret, and the situation was urgent. Everything belonging to the temple except the staff was left behind, as well as a batch of personal belongings. However, when the shrine and descendants of the family counted the relics, they thought that Nero's personal belongings were obviously wrong, and some of the belongings should be taken away.
Of course those things should be very valuable. Now that I can see this lost space ring, people are eager to know how much wealth there is? They were a little disappointed to hear Rod Dick's words, but they had no choice but to wait. Obama Linton hesitated and asked again, "This ring is for our family. Can I keep it for the family for the time being?"
Before Rod Dick spoke, Fayol Judah scolded: "Sooner or later, the ring will be returned to you, but the contents have not been taken out, and the will has not been read out, of course, it must be kept by the Lord Lord! This is also the testament of Lord Nero! What ’s wrong with you, do n’t you trust the Lord?

Obama Linton quickly explained: "No, it doesn't mean that it is best to be kept by the Lord of the Lord! I just worry about that foreigner, the ring has been in his hand for a long time, will the contents inside have been Taken out? "
The oldest priest shook his head and said, "The most brilliant wizards in the city-state are here. None of us can open this ring. Can a hunter in the mountains open it?"
Rod Dick added slightly: "Just this ring and this staff are invaluable and precious. What do people really want to seize? Will they return it to you?"
Obama Linton mumbled: "Maybe it was because he couldn't open the ring and wanted my uncle's huge reward to return the relic. Isn't there three scrolls, why didn't we see it? Uncle's last words said It is clear that one of the scrolls is more precious than the ring and the staff together! What else does he want? "
Rod Dick explained: "Nobody wants anything, why should you worry about what he wants? Everything will be done according to the will, and I will definitely handle it. I have already asked about the scroll, and he is in the mountains Lost on escape, a hunter in the mountains may not know the value of those scrolls. "
Nero's youngest nephew, Hillary Arlington, suddenly exclaimed, "What? He lost the most precious scroll left by my grandfather!"
Rod Dick finally showed an impatient look: "That is his scroll, Lord Nero's promised reward, and the loss is only his own loss, and it has nothing to do with you! ... The scrolls that Amon saw did not introduce those scrolls How precious, we just read that message in the staff. "
This was an explanation, but it became a reminder. Hilary Linton suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "Yes, it is a message! The Lord of the City ordered that the uncle's message could not be leaked, but who knows that What did the man called Amon see in the cave? "
Rod Dick waved his hand: "I have already asked in detail, there is nothing to worry about in the messages he sees, it's just some entrustment before the death of Lord Nero."
Hillary Lington seemed to have grasped something and leaned forward, saying, "How can you believe this, even if he sees it, he will not tell the Lord Lord. Those words must not be passed on to a foreign countryman at will. I think he should be held in confinement and questioned before he decides what to do. "
Rod Dick's face sank, and Aristotle began to say, "What a stupid and rude idea! Amon Qianli sent Lord Nero's precious relics more than thirty years ago, showing noble and selfless character. And it symbolizes the gods ’care for the cape city-state. On the temple square, all the people cheer for this scene, and the people of the city are all witnesses. Such a person, if he does not receive heartfelt thanks and praise, will treat him rudely, The prestige to the Lord of the City, to the entire city-state, to the gods, will be great harm! "
The sage's eyes were clear and sharp, and Hillary could not help but fight. The Dick City Lord slowly nodded and said, "I don't allow anyone to do anything that would damage the prestige of the city and the gods, so I also don't allow anyone to hurt Amon in my city. Do you want me to just return from him? Will the priest ’s staff be turned in a blink of an eye? "
When Roddick returned to the side hall where Amon was, he was still full of smiles and asked him, "Amon, where do you live? I send someone to pick up your luggage. You are now an important guest of Cape City. Now, you will live in my city's residence from today. The relics of Lord Nero need a great theorist to take them out, and then I will give you the remuneration I deserve, and I will thank the city-state. It will take a few more minutes. God, before that, I will take good care of you and protect you. "
Amon: "I live in the inn and I don't have much luggage. I only have a few old clothes and a sick cat."
Rod Dick: "Please rest assured that everything will be best taken care of, including your cat, whatever you need, despite the orders of the people around you."
The Lord of the City's invitation was also an order. Amon was not good enough to reject it. He was also curious about Nero's will and relics. He also wanted to see for himself how a great theorist opened the space artifact, so he nodded his thanks, Promised on the spot. On this day, Amon returned to his house with Lord Dick's carriage and the Lord Lord. When several gatekeepers saw the foreigner who had been scolded in front of the door, he came down from the Lord Lord's coach and was surprised. I can hardly believe my eyes.
