Just after Aristotle left Jalan, the emissary of the Boze Empire arrived. They put new pressure on the military and political officials of the Jarun city state, threatening: "If you unite Macedonia to abandon Poz, then Poz will fully support Kibada and destroy Yaron! You are far away from Macedonia, but away from Macedonia. Kibada is closer! Please do n’t forget that it was you who made the decision to ask Poz for help. Why do you now betray you? You must be punished by the gods for this! "
The Allen city-state promised to form an alliance with Macedonia. They were actually reluctant to sell the benefits of the Heaton Peninsula to the distant Boze in exchange for the status of hegemony, rather than yield to Macedonia on the Heaton Peninsula. Under the threat of the Boze people and new promises, Aaron changed his mind and decided not to let the covenant take effect, and sent high priest Merlin to assassinate the mission.
This is a top secret operation, no matter how effective it is, it cannot reveal the identity of the assassin.
So Merlin took two great warriors, three priests, and twenty-four elite warriors, and also dressed up as Kibada. This lineup is more than enough to get rid of Aristotle's mission, and it is also very thoughtful. Unfortunately, they missed.
Not only did she miss her, but she was all caught alive: not only was she caught alive, but her hands were **** and she was recognized publicly: not only was she recognized, she was also watched all the way.
The worst that can be imagined with imagination has all happened! Is this the punishment of the gods? What I fear most is nothing.
A chained great magician, as an assassin who was captured by mistake, walked thousands of miles with other captives and suffered indescribable humiliation. At the beginning, Merlin was ashamed and angry, and the resentment in his heart was indescribable, but this time along the way, he was watched too many times, and he had to calm down.
Allen betrayed the covenant and turned out to kill Macedonian missions. This kind of despicable behavior was disgusting otherwise they would not dare to expose their identities. He is the commander of the sudden assassination, and now the result is self-sufficiency, what reason does the person who assassinated him shame for him?
Merlin was numb for a while, like walking dead, but then when the Aristotle team encountered the second assassination, he thought about it more and more. In the reinforcements sent from the city of Aaron, the primary assassination target was not the mission of Aristotle, but the captives who were captured by them. The warrior Moyley scolded the commander of the second batch of assassins and was scolded by Mei Danzuo. Merlin heard nothing in his ear.
While entering the Macedonian city-state, Merlin became calm. He knew that he could not return to Aaron for his life. Even if he was redeemed as a captive, he did not intend to go back. From the personal glory and the credibility of the city-state, this experience was a shame.
When he was placed in a comfortable residence and King Philip II of Macedon personally came to "interrogate", Merlin said everything altogether, and then asked quietly, "Your Majesty, you What are you going to do with me? Do you want to take my head sacrifice flag and mobilize an army to punish the Jaran? "Philip II replied:" The Jalan city-state is self-defeating and the entire Heaton Peninsula including the Jaran All need the salvation of the gods. From the moment you are missed and captured, your personal mission is over. From the moment you are assassinated by the second batch of assassins, you yourself have been abandoned by Aaron. The gods gave you Opportunities for re-selection, would you like to be loyal to Macedonia?
I wo n’t kill you. If you refuse my request, I will let you go back. "Melin only considered a few breathing time, and immediately stood up to salute and swore allegiance to Macedonia. In addition to him, the great warrior Moilai and others also surrendered to Macedonia because of their own considerations. They were humiliated all the way. As long as you are alive and do n’t want to surrender yourself, you have to wash your shame through karma and glory. Philip II gave them the best advice: "I can not ask you to attack Aaron, and I will fight the Boze on the battlefield in the future. Right! "
Philip II was willing to patiently conquer these captives, on the one hand to show the ambition and generosity of a monarch, on the other hand, of course, also related to the oracle of Zeus. The oracle does not say who is very important to the Kingdom of Macedonia, and Philip II has to deal with it carefully.
After disposing of the captives, Philip II carefully asked about the mission of the mission ’s bodyguard Eisen, and he was very interested in the affairs of Amon and Mei Danzuo, and he was investigated by the staff. The result made him deep. Shocked.
What a kingdom ’s intelligence system can understand is, of course, far beyond the personal experience. Seeing all the materials mentioned by the staff, Philip II already knew who Amen was, but he couldn't believe that Aristotle had brought back gods from foreign countries!
Amon ’s identity is special and embarrassing. He is not a **** believed by the Heaton people, but came to Macedonia as a friend and follower of Aristotle. This determined that Philip II could not visit him like a god, nor could he listen to him like an oracle. But Philip II was a king, and he had never seen a deity with his own eyes. He was looking forward to and eagerly to see Amon in his heart, but he did not know how to see him.
Philip II hesitated for several days and eventually summoned Aristotle into the palace for private consultation. Aristotle asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, you cannot treat him like a god, but you are afraid of being rude to be guilty of a god. Is this the case?" Philip II nodded: "Yes, he is not A **** I believe in, but it is a **** after all. "
Aristotle asked again: "Your Majesty, do you know how we should get along with the gods, and how we should treat the gods?" Philip II moved his **** from the chair and leaned forward: "Mr. please advise!" Aristotle replied: "God's belief in man is pure and happy and perfect self-realization. The true God is beyond the existence of this world. The world we can perceive is not Perfect, there are all kinds of life and desires, imperfect thoughts and desires, and all creatures can feel God more or less. "
Philip II shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't understand.
Aristotle smiled: "Then let's talk to Mongolia, he was a friend I met in my early years, a child who grew up in Duque Town, an outgoing general General Eju, and a traveler who now comes to Macedonia The person you will meet is him, and he is not perfect in this world. How he exists depends on the purpose of his coming to the world. His Majesty wants to see him, it depends on the purpose of His Majesty. You can use yourself As long as it is reasonable. "
Philip II nodded and said, "Oh, I understand, thank you very much!"
The next day, Philip II ordered the award of Aristotle, and set up a private banquet in the royal palace. At the same time, he also invited the two heroes who had helped the mission to attend. Philip II would express his gratitude to the Kingdom of Macedonia face to face . Amon and Mei Danzuo followed Assyria to the palace, and Philip II finally saw the gods.
If Philip II did n’t know Amon ’s identity, as a king, he would just sit there waiting for the announcement from the housekeeper, but at this moment he personally greeted the door of the banquet hall. Aristotle brought Amon and Mei Danzuo and introduced the two "heroes" to the king. Amon also naturally bowed to Philip II.
Philip II quickly stepped forward to stop and said: "The two heroes, don't need to pay much courtesy, today is a special banquet to thank you." After the seat, the king took the initiative to toast and Amon raised his glass. There were many questions in Philip II's mind, but the first sentence he said was: "Mr. Amon, you have been to many places, why did you come to Macedonia?"
Amon replied: "I came to visit the Heaton Peninsula and wanted to visit Mr. Aristotle, so I came."
Philip II asked again: "How do you see the situation here in the Heaton Peninsula and the future of the Kingdom of Macedonia?" Amon smiled and looked at Philip II: "It depends on You do not depend on me. I want to ask, what kind of vision does your Majesty have for the future of the Kingdom of Macedonia? "
Philip II replied: "My idea was to form a unified coalition of the entire Heaton Peninsula because of this, in order to repel the Boze attack. Now because of Heaton civil strife,
Poz talent will make a comeback. "
Amon smiled again: "Actually, Aaron and Kibada have the same idea, but they are doomed to be wrong by wrong means. You have hope to fulfill your vows but the enemy on this path There are also quite a few. If it is really the day of fulfilling the vow, you will find that it is not the end of desire. "Philip II sighed:" Of course, the vow is not easy to realize, but no matter how many enemies, I will try my best to do it. If there is really that day, and then talk about the rest, I am not a **** and I cannot learn more. "
Amon shook his head and said: "I used to think so, thinking that the vows on earth are not easy, so it is not easy to realize. It was later discovered that the simplest vows are actually the hardest, and there are always more Desire is driving people forward.
Your Majesty the King, I admire your courage and ambition, and also help you get lucky! "
Then the banquet talked about a lot of military, political, and the situation of the mainland nations. They did not go beyond the scope of human affairs. On the contrary, Mei Danzuo said the most. Amon did not embarrass Philip II, nor did he disrespect the king and the gods he believed in. He showed a very straightforward nature, whether it was a **** or not, he was that Amon.
Perhaps because of this, it made Philip II feel uncomfortable, and the king was even vaguely uncomfortable. He was not disrespectful to Amon in his heart, but subconsciously did not want to get along with Amon face to face, because this feeling was not easy. Amon always looked straight into his eyes when he spoke, and his eyes seemed to be enough to see through the soul, which made a monarch quite uncomfortable.
Who would look at him like that? Who would talk to him like this? Philip II preferred to sacrifice to the gods on the altar and kneel, and subconsciously did not want to drink with a "mortal" like this. Amon did not deliberately bring out the gods' racks, nor did he stand tall and arrogant. He just said a few words plainly, but it made Philip II, who accepted the praises of all the people, feel a bit unstable.
Sacrificing sacrifices to gods on behalf of the people, but also means having the supreme glory that gods give in the world: sitting with a **** on a table and drinking, the careful atmosphere is not afraid to breathe, uncomfortable, completely different Feel.
After the banquet, Philip II personally delivered the guests to the entrance of the palace, which was a relief. Amon did not make more demands, and Philip II was not able to make special arrangements. Amon still lived in the Aristotle house. He didn't want to see this **** anymore, but he couldn't let go of it, so he ordered his son Alexander to go to the Aristotle's house and ask the teacher.
Aristotle is a court teacher in Alexandria, teaching various knowledge to Alexandria. Of course, the previous location was in the palace, and the time depends on the convenience of Alexandria. But now that the situation has changed, Philip II specifically instructed his son to go to Aristotle to listen to the teachings every day, and secretly told him the identity of Amon.
It is not difficult to understand that Philip II will do this. After all, Amon is a deity, possessing capabilities not possessed by mortals, and possessing secrets that mortals do not know. Although Philip II did not believe in Amun, but there was a **** in Macedonia, how could he not want his son to get some light and benefit?
As for what you can get from the gods, it depends on Alexander ’s own luck.
The King is careful about this. Of course, Aristotle knows it well, but he never breaks it. From this day on, the place of teaching to Alexander was changed to Aristotle's House. Alexander came every day, sometimes to study, sometimes to greet the teacher. After Aristotle taught, he let the prince play in the house at will.
In Amon ’s view, Aristotle may be Heaton ’s best teacher, and Philip II is indeed quite discerning in asking him. But this student of Alexandria doesn't think so. He is the son of Philip II and the future heir of the Kingdom of Macedonia. It can be said that whatever you want, you can learn whatever you want, not according to your own interests. miner.
Alexander is a natural person, and he does n’t like studying. Aristotle is a pedantic old scholar in his eyes. Out of respect for his teacher, this prince often dared to learn all kinds of knowledge, but only to To cope with the task, I just hope to finish the course quickly so that I can go out on horseback safari, or convene the guards to perform the military formation.
But now Alexander has changed his temper under his father ’s secret advice. He has never been so diligent in asking questions. He goes to the teacher ’s office every day to ask for advice. Of course, after completing his studies, this young prince was most pleased. Not only did he meet the legendary real gods here, but he was also familiar with Mei Danzuo.
