The priest replied: "I can only read but cannot erase the information, unless it is a great magician. Tomorrow, Lord Julian, the high priest of the Temple of Dreams, will come to the cape city-state, The master of the city may invite him to take action. "
Rod Dick nodded and said, "Our esteemed archer Nero said something he should n’t say and something he should n’t say before he died, but he kept the spirit and the empire With absolute loyalty, and gave his life for it. Everyone here must understand that the content heard today must not be leaked, otherwise it will become a traitor to the entire city-state "
Everyone nodded silently. There are indeed some words in Nero ’s last words that cannot be circulated, mainly in these few paragraphs —
“It ’s not just gods who have will in this world. I ’m surprised where Bell ’s strength and courage came from? When he passed the cape city-state, I persuaded him to return to the arms of the temple, but he was not left. Bell told me that mortals can also become gods. At this point, the gods deceived everyone, and we are all deceived.
Great Horus, I admit that I am curious. I once said to Bell, ‘Please do n’t seduce me’, I have already rejected the devil ’s temptation. But is the eternal temptation to become a deity really the devil in people's hearts? I hope to get the answer, even at the last moment of life. -Has Bell destroyed himself because of this temptation?
I want to see Bell confirming the answer, so I let him and Onion leave the border with Egypt. Although I ca n’t stop him alone, I did n’t try my best to stop it. He is my clan and my benefactor, and I was unable to make up my mind to challenge him with all my courage. "
Rod Dick knew the stakes, and he issued strict orders on the spot. In fact, Amon is also clear. He did not mention these when he described the content of the text he saw in the cave, but Amon was not in the officialdom of the Egyptian Empire, and he did not take the problem seriously, just to try his best. Avoid trouble and omit some inappropriate words.
The crowd remained silent for a while, and it was Nero ’s oldest nephew, the current head of the Lington family, Obama-Lington, who finally could n’t help but say: “I want to know what my uncle left us, Where is the will? "
Rod Dick took out the ring and put it on the table, with a wry smile: "The will and things are in this ring. The ring itself is also a precious space object, something inherited by your family. But unfortunately, no one of us can open it, we can only wait for Master Julian of Dreams to arrive tomorrow, and ask him to handle it. "
The nephews of the Lington family looked at the ring and could not hide the fiery desire in their eyes. The Rington family is very rich and was once the second largest aristocratic family after the Dick family in the cape city-state. As the Master of Gods officer of the city-state, Nero had the absolute authority to control all wealth in the family, but he was a prodigal son when he was young.
The "hobby" of making reels is not something that ordinary people can afford. It not only consumes a lot of hard work and mana, but also consumes a huge amount of wealth. Many materials for making reels are quite expensive and cannot be bought. . After Nero became a great magician at a young age, forty years of time, endless effort, and countless wealth were used by him to satisfy his hobby of making scrolls.
The family ’s wealth has shrunk so much. Although it ’s not a decline, it ’s not as impressive as it used to be. Especially after the disappearance of Nero, the Lington family did n’t have outstanding talent, but now it ’s just an ordinary Only aristocratic family. However, Nero himself made scrolls, and later it was no longer a matter of losing money. On the contrary, it became a means of accumulating huge wealth, because he became the best scroll maker in Egypt.
Of course, it ’s not necessary for Nero to do all the work for Nero. He can mobilize the power of the city-state and the temple to complete the preparation of various materials and auxiliary work for him. In return, he will also The scroll is left to the city-state and the temple. But on the other hand, he also produced a large number of personal scrolls, such as the three "sent" to Amon.
These scrolls are of great value. Almost all the magicians of the whole continent will be willing to buy them with heavy money, only if they ca n’t buy them or Nero wo n’t sell them. Nero will only transfer some scrolls or promise to make it for the other party if someone with a very good relationship asks to come. Even after receiving the scroll offered by Nero, the Egyptian Academy of Divinity ordered a lot of money for him personally.
Nero ’s hunt for Bell was secretly set off. The situation was very urgent. All the things belonging to the temple except the staff were left, and a batch of personal items were also left. However, when the temple and descendants of the family counted the relics, they thought that the number of Nero's personal belongings was obviously wrong, and some of his belongings should be taken away.
Of course those things should be very valuable. Now that we can see this lost space ring, people are eager to know how much wealth there is. They were somewhat disappointed to hear Rod Dick's words, but they had no choice but to wait. Obama-Linton hesitated and asked again: "This ring is a belonging of our family. Can I temporarily keep it on behalf of the family?"
Do n’t wait for Rod Dick to speak, Fayol-Judah yelled: "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. Of course, it must be kept by the master of the city. This is also Nero. The confession of the lord ’s last words, why do n’t you trust the lord of the city? ”
Obama-Lington quickly explained: "No, it does n’t mean that, it ’s certainly best to keep it by the lord of the city. I ’m just worried that the foreigner, the ring has been in his hands for a long time, and the things inside will not Will it be taken out? "
The oldest priest shook his head and said: "The most brilliant magicians in the city-state are here. None of us can open this ring. Can a hunter in the deep mountain open it?"
Rod Dick added a little lightly: "This ring and this staff are just too precious to imagine. What do people really want to embezzle, will they return it to you?"
Obama-Lington muttered: "Maybe it was because he couldn't open the ring and wanted the huge reward of my uncle, so he would return the relics. Isn't there still three scrolls, why didn't we see it? Uncle? 'S last words make it clear that one of the scrolls is more precious than the ring and the staff together. What else does he want? "
Road-Dick explained: "I do n’t want anything, why do you worry about what he wants? Everything will be done according to the will, I will deal with it fairly. I have already asked about the scroll, he Lost while in danger in the deep mountains, a hunter in the mountains may not know the preciousness of those scrolls. "
Hilary-Lington, Nero ’s youngest nephew, suddenly shouted, "What? He lost the most precious scroll left by my grandfather"
Rod Dick finally showed an impatient look: "That's his scroll, the reward promised by Lord Nero, the loss is only his own loss, and it has nothing to do with you ... There is no introduction in the last words Amon saw. How precious are those scrolls, we only read the message in the staff. "
This was originally an explanation, but it became a reminder. Hillary-Lington suddenly remembered something, and said excitedly: "Yes, the lord of the message lord ordered not to let the uncle ’s message leak, but who is it? Know what the man named Amon saw in the cave? "
Rod Dick waved his hand: "I have asked in detail, there is nothing to worry about in the message he saw, but only some orders from Lord Nero before his death."
Hillary-Lington seemed to have grasped something, leaned forward and said, "How can these be believed, even if he sees it, he will not tell the lord of the city. Those words must not make a foreign country People are rumored freely, I think he should be imprisoned, and after interrogating clearly, decide what to do. "
Road-Dick ’s face fell, and Aristotle pre-emptively yelled: "What a foolish and rude idea that the foreign boy named Amon sent thousands of miles to return the precious relics of Lord Nero, which is noble. The unselfish quality is also a symbol of the gods caring for the Lord of the City and the cape city .... He returned the staff and the ring in front of everyone, showing his trust in Lord Dick. Did n’t you see the scene of cheering people? If you do n’t treat each other with courtesy, the prestige of the late Lord Nero, your family, your Lord Dick, the entire cape city-state, and the gods will be seriously injured "
Hillary stopped speaking, Rod Dick nodded and said slowly: "I do n’t allow anyone to do anything that would damage the prestige of the cape city state. Before Lord Nero ’s will and relics were not disposed of, the foreigner Just living in my house, we should express our gratitude instead of treating him rudely, otherwise, who would trust me as the city owner? "
When Rod-Dick returned to the side hall where Amon was, he smiled with a spring breeze: "Amon, take out Lord Nero's will and relics, you need the help of a great magician, and you have to wait a few days. At that time, you will also be present to witness. Where do you live? I will send someone to pick up your luggage. I will be a guest in my city ’s main house in the next few days. "
Amon: "I live in an inn with no luggage, only a few old clothes and a sick cat."
Rod Dick: "Please be assured that your cat will also receive the best care. If you need anything, please tell the servants in the house."
The invitation of the Lord of the City is also an order. Amon is not easy to refuse. At the same time, he is also curious about Nero ’s relics, so he follows Rod Dick to the city ’s palace. This time was completely different from when he went by himself at noon. Rod Dick invited him to share the car. When several gatekeepers saw Amon walking down from the carriage of the lord of the city, he was almost surprised to believe his eyes.
