No one knows why the old maniac can read these two words. He is the oldest person here. He has lived here before everyone in the town is born. It is said that he traveled all over the mainland when he was young, and no one knows. How old is he, but at least one hundred years old. In this age when people are easy to die, longevity itself is an admirable miracle and is regarded as a gift from God.
After becoming a temple priest, Xiao Gu had the opportunity to learn another writing method of these two words, called the divine book, which is usually only used in the occasion of praising God, except for nobles and priests. The divine book is basically the same as the ordinary script, but it has special and strict rules for writing. It is not easy for people who have not learned to read it. It is said that it has mysterious power and can communicate with gods.
In the eyes of ordinary civilians and slaves, any text is mysterious, representing some kind of awesome symbolic information. Duke Town needs a clerk, and the temple also needs a clerk. Xiao Gu is here alone.
However, there have been some changes in the past two years. The old maniac taught Amon to write these two words, and said to the mayor when he was drunk: "Our town actually has three clerk positions, but it ’s a pity to understand There are too few people writing, at least it ’s not suitable for Mu Yun Temple and Horus Temple to be a priest, and it is even more inappropriate to serve as a clerk. Amon is a child of gods, he also learned to write, whether it is Both the sword book and the pen are very good. I can guarantee that he will be the best clerk in the future, and he can also become an excellent clergyman. "
Most to Xiao ’s dissatisfaction, Mayor Dusti did n’t express any objection at the time, and said with a smile: "Oh, then Amon is really a child of the gods. When he grows up, he should be To be an excellent clerk. "
This makes Xiao Gu's heart feel as if it was bitten by a poisonous snake. Whenever he thinks that one day in the future, his power and wealth will be shared and deprived by the son of a dirty drunkard, and he can hardly sleep well. And today he wants to deal with Amon in public, and there is another more important reason that makes the root of his hatred tickle.
The legend about the tears of the gods is not unique to the Egyptian Empire. In the distant city-state, a distinguished adult has quietly sent a letter to tell him to pay attention to the **** stone produced in the town of Duque. If he can get the tears of the gods, there will be a thank you. All the **** stones produced in Duque Town were registered by Xiao Gu, which is the most convenient condition.
The tears of the gods really appeared, but he did n’t get it one step later. Even if he wanted to, he could n’t compete with Rod Dick. This adult Dick is really good, but it happened to be waiting in Duque Town at this time, no one thought!
Last night when the tears of the gods fell, Xiao Gu also felt that when he rushed to the Amon ’s house, he saw two heavily armed soldiers guarding the door, and later he saw the clerk of Lord Dick holding a gold box with Two other soldiers came out of the house. When Xiao Gu entered, Ameng had left the backyard. There was only one drunk alcoholic at home. After Xiao Gu's drink, it was easy to ask what had happened.
Xiao Gu can't and dare to blame Rod Dick naturally, but how can he let Amon go at this opportunity? So early in the morning he rang the bells calling the residents in the Temple of Mu Yun. The mayor of Dustin did not let him mention the tears of the gods, but he mentioned another thing, which was a sudden disaster for Amon.
The residents froze for a moment, then whispered in a whisper. Amon did violate ancient oracles, but this has never happened before in Duque. Learning the miner skills passed down through the ages requires strong physical strength. It is almost impossible for young children to learn. Even if such a thing has happened in history, no one will say it publicly. Mining the God Stone is so difficult. What's wrong with an additional qualified craftsman, as long as I don't say it, who will pursue this problem?
But in front of the temple of Mu Yun, under the solemn gaze of the goddess, the priest of the temple publicly announced that the problematic surname was serious, and no one could justify Amon, otherwise it would be disrespect to the gods, the oracle is equivalent to decree.
Xiao Gou saw that no one was speaking loudly, and cleared his throat again, and said, "Benevolence is a virtue, but piety and obedience to gods is a virtue. Amon, you are ready to accept God ’s punishment. Is it? ... In the name of Goddess Mu Yun, how should I punish this child as kindly as possible? "His last sentence was directed at everyone.
Dustie frowned again, looking very unhappy. Xiao Gu apparently had a plan, and a voice in the crowd immediately shouted: "According to the ordinance, cut off one of his fingers, and the benevolent priest can decide which finger to cut."
Amon ’s body shuddered, his face pale, his mouth twitched gently, his teeth clenched tightly, and he did n’t speak. His father knelt down and begged with a trembling voice: "Forgive Amon, he is still a child, and he does not know what he is doing, I taught him, and the person who violated the oracle is me, should let I will accept such a punishment. "
There were a lot of voices in the crowd whispered: "Yes, Master Xiao Gu, forgive the ignorant child! As an atonement, let him mine more **** stones to dedicate to the goddess."
Xiao Gu did n’t seem to hear these sounds. He stretched out his hands and pressed down to make people calm down again. He looked at Amon in a calm and indifferent tone and asked, "Amon, when you learn the skills of miners, Do you understand the instructions of the patron saint? Although you are a child, as a resident of Duque Town, you should have known since childhood. "
As he spoke, he thought to himself—which finger should Amon cut off?
Mayor Dustin on the side coughed lightly and felt that he should say something, but at this moment, there was a voice outside the crowd shouting: "Whose ignorance is this? The priest is you Forget the oracle, this lucky child did not violate it! "
Everyone was taken aback, Xiao Gu looked up, and a young man had walked in through the crowd. In his early twenties, he was dressed in a clean white robe with a crown of fresh branches on his head. This man Xiao Gu has seen, is not a resident of Duque Town. He came here with Rod-Dick a few days ago. He is a staff member very respected by Lord Dick. It is said that he is a traveling sage from a distant mainland. The name is Aristotle.
The mayor of Dustin asked, "Mr. Aristotle, what's the matter with you here, what did Master Dick tell you?"
Aristotle smiled and nodded: "I came to do something for Lord Dick, and I just saw this child's experience. Honorable Lord Mayor, can I ask this priest a few questions?"
Dasti nodded politely: "Despite asking, Mr. Aristotle."
Xiao Go is very puzzled. I do n’t know what this young man who appeared suddenly wants to ask himself, and it is not clear why this person can defend Amon and how can he defend? I saw Aristotle smiled and nodded toward the mayor, then looked at Xiao Gu calmly and asked: "Master priest, in the name of the goddess in the temple behind you, seriously answer me, according to the oracles passed down through the ages here Only by guarding the grace and blessings of the goddess can you learn the unique miner skills here, right? "
Xiao Gu nodded solemnly: "Yes, this gentleman, I answer you in the name of the goddess, really, this is the case."
Aristotle nodded again and then asked: "Is this kid learning the kind of skill you said, is this the case?"
Xiao Gu nodded subconsciously: "Yes, it is like this."
Aristotle did not wait for him to say more, and then said loudly: "Then the child has received the patronage and blessing of the patron saint, isn't it?"
Xiao Gu was a little embarrassed and retorted loudly: "No, he violated the Oracle, so he had to accept punishment!"
Aristotle snorted and still refuted loudly: "No, the person who has forgotten the true spirit of the oracle is the priest you! You can only learn this skill with the patronage and blessing of the patron saint. It ’s an oracle. It ’s impossible to learn without the patronage and blessing of the patron saint, and this child has learned that it is enough to prove that he has the patronage and blessing of the patron saint .... If you want to deny this , Lord priest, you are denying the oracle! "
Not only Xiao Gou was stunned, but everyone onlookers were stunned. Where did the miners in Duque Town who had dealt with sledgehammers and fires have seen the defense of the sages in the far mainland?
Xiao Gu ended in a moment, not knowing how to answer. Some people say that in the temple is the place where the most reason is not necessary, because the oracle is the decree that cannot be refuted, but at the same time, under the eyes of the gods, this is also the place where the reason is the most necessary. Be respectful and careful, every sentence must be Express faith and respect for gods.
Aristotle saw the faces of everyone in doubt, smiled, and raised his finger to Xiao Gu and said: "The world has life and death, this is the will of God, is the big premise. Obviously, he is a person, this is a small Premise. So he will die, this is the conclusion. Do n’t you understand? ”
Then he pointed at Amon again and said, "Only by the patronage and blessings of the patron saint can you learn the skills you said. This is the oracle and the premise. Obviously, this child has learned the skills, This is a small premise. So he has received the patronage and blessing of the patron saint. This is the conclusion. Is there something wrong? ... Do you understand? "
This kind of analogy explanation is easy to understand, and many people nodded their expressions in a sudden realization. Some people are even more puzzled. They always feel that something is wrong with Aristotle, but they can't tell what is wrong. Xiao Gu's face gradually turned into pig liver, and Mayor Dusty's expression was a little funny, and he seemed to want to laugh but he couldn't help but laugh.
"But he has not experienced the ritual of God's grace and blessings, it is against the rules!" Xiao Gu finally shouted out loud, but there was a weak sense of weakness in his voice.
"No, Amon accepted the grace and blessings of the goddess Mu Yun, and the people who were disgusted and warned by the goddess were the priests of the town, Lord Xiao Gu! ...... I can prove this." Following the voice, the old maniac Nietzsche waved in front of him with a cane and separated the crowd and walked to the front.
The old maniac is very old, his hair and beard are gray and messy, and he walks swaying, but it does not look weak, but he is learning to walk like a child. His cane is dark brown, with golden messy stripes, not leaning on the ground to support his body, but waving it in his hands.
Nietzsche passed by Aristotle, and looked back at the young sage, who seemed to have a complex look of admiration, scrutiny, and torture. Then he turned to stand in front of Xiao Gu, standing side by side with Amon. The cane said imaginatively: "Three years ago, I received the enlightenment from the goddess Mu Yun in my dreams, and blessed Amon, and allowed him to learn the skills of miners passed down through the history of Duque Town. This child's skill was not taught by his father Yes, I taught. "
Xiao Gu took a step back and asked, "How can I prove it?"
The old lunatic smiled and pointed at Xiao Gou ’s nose with his cane: "What is it, priest, that blinded your soul? Please pray and confess in front of the goddess, because God has proved it! You have not heard what this gentleman said. Is it? "
