Aesop took the initiative to explain to his relatives! "They also don't know if I have an heir. Moreover, I can't prove my identity and the origin is suspicious. The house and the village are really real property, and they belong to them. They are smart or stupid, and only the gods know it." Amon, who was catching the car, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, I'm the one who catches the car!" Mei Danzuo asked: "You are rich enough, in fact, it is not difficult to buy the house and the village, if you do so, I think they will be happy to recognize the identity of your relatives. "

Aesop asked in reverse: "Mei Danzuo, we live in the world, have you considered a question? Who am I? You are Mei Danzuo, but why are you Mei Danzuo?

If I do that, I lose the meaning of finding my homeland. Actually, I do n’t mind giving them a lot of money, but why? Let ’s start by proving my identity. I am Aesop, and I will act as Aesop. "

Mei Danzuo asked again: "When you encounter such relatives, do you feel the same, are you a bit disappointed?" Aesop said frankly: "In fact, I am not surprised at all, and I will never be disappointed. The little people, they may seem marketable, selfish, suspicious, and seem ridiculous, but their ideas and practices are very common in the world, and they are also very normal people. Even the playwrights in the city of Aaron often describe gods like this .

Since all living beings are like this, relatives of any family may be such small people, why can't my Aesop's relatives? Their reaction is understandable. In fact, I don't resent it at all. On the contrary, I am very grateful, grateful to the gods, and grateful to them. When I returned to my hometown, I could still see the relatives of the Ackerman family. The house where I grew up and my father's farm are still there. Amon, driving, could not help sighing: "Aesop, you may be the person closest to the gods in this city-state. "

Old Ackerman ’s son Aesop is back, sixty years after his disappearance! This incident caused a stir in the city of Midori and it became a talk for people in their leisure time. Some people say that Aesop made a fortune outside, but he still had to take back the villages and houses that his ancestors should inherit. Others said that the foreigner was not Aesop, but had heard about the old Ackerman family, and Aesop, pretending to be rich, attempted to cheat.

Aesop lived in the inn and brought a horseman and a "name guard". Anyone who saw him at the age of age said that he really looked like a person of the Ackerman family. Maybe it was really Iraq. Sok Ackerman.

Some people have begun to discuss again, since Aesop had made a fortune, why bother to take back the assets of his cousin ’s family that has been in business for 60 years?

Reid-Ackerman is very good to keep the property. After so many years of war, there will be wars. If you change to someone else ’s house, the house and the village may be long gone, and Aesop will come back. , Who can I ask for? The sages who like to preach in the temple 〖Guang〗 also talked about this matter. According to their point of view, if Aesop is Aesop, then the house and the village are his, and Aesop is generous and ca n’t be generous. Change this fact.

Even if Aesop is willing to give Zhai Zi and Zhuang Zhuang to his cousin, he must prove that it belongs to him before he can talk about generosity and gifts.

The identity of Aesop will be determined by the city-state citizen meeting. This is a request submitted by Aesop himself. The adjudicator is the fifty permanent representatives of the city-state citizen meeting. This is different from the trial submitted to the court by a judge, because the court can only try the property dispute complaint filed by Aesop or the fraud allegations against Aesop by Red-Ackerman, but the premise of all this is to determine Soo's identity.

Red-Ackerman did not file a complaint with the city-state court, he just declared that he could not determine the identity of the old man.

On the day when the civic conference was held, many interested city-state citizens ran to watch the lively audience, and the city-state conference hall was full of people. The Citizens' Conference appointed a representative manage for this ruling, which is the famous sage Taylor in the city of Midori. After Thales accepted the commission, he first invited more than ten old people in the city-states who were over 80 years old. They were all those who had met Aesop-Ackerman.

Longevity has always been regarded as a blessing of the gods. After the war years, people who have lived in the same city state and enjoyed such a long life, as long as they are not traitors, are respected elders. . There weren't many people like this, and it was even harder to ask for a clear mind and to be able to recall what happened sixty years ago. Finally, ten people were invited.

It is unrealistic to want these elders to clearly recall a teenager whom they knew sixty years ago but did not pay special attention to. Several of the elders saw Thales after seeing Aesop, and his facial features were indeed very similar to Aesop-Ackerman in his memory, but the time was too long, and the impression of that year was already blurred, not to mention Aesop is now An old man, unable to confirm!

Theles did not expect these old men to confirm that they could recall the Aesop of those years, only to prove that the ruling was meaningful and not farce. If someone cannot come to the city-state and claim to be someone decades ago, the city-state meeting will decide him.

Next, Thales asked Aesop in front of everyone: "The old man who came back from a foreign country, you insist that you are Aesop-Ackerman, do you have any documents to prove your identity?" Aesop replied: "I own Documents that can prove identity in Ecu and Quilen City, but can only prove my identity there, are meaningless to this ruling. Such an document can only be signed by the Citizens ’Meeting of Midori City, and That is to say, after this ruling is over, it is possible for me to own it. The document was no longer there. Even if it is still in my hands, it is difficult to prove that I am the person in the document. "

The city-state meeting then carried out an important ceremony. At the suggestion of most citizen representatives, the gods were asked to come down to the oracle. If the oracle confirmed Aesop's identity, then there is no need to make a ruling. There are statues of patron saints of city-states in the parliament hall. Under the manage of two city-state priests, Thales prayed to the gods on behalf of the city-state people to pray for the coming of oracles.

The situation of Olympus is very interesting. Its composition of the gods is similar to that of Heaton United Kingdom. Zeus is not the Master of Gods of every city-state. Almost every city-state believes in its own patron saint as city-state Master of Gods. For example, the patron saint of the Jalan city-state is Jalena, the patron saint of the Kibada city-state is Ares, the **** of war and blacksmiths, and the patron saint of the Midori city-state is Hermes, the messenger of the gods and the **** of commerce.

Amon and Mei Danzuo are also standing in the crowd, and the voice of Mei Danzuo quietly sounds in the soul of Aesop: "Old man, you do n’t have to worry, if those two priests are bought, they will deliberately lie. Oracle, I will tell them that they wo n’t be able to drive them forever. ”Aesop did n’t worry about these, but just watched silently. The ordinary priest would not lie on such occasions. If you really believe in gods, how big The price can make them betray the gods in public? And Amon is very interested in it. Will Hermes lower the Oracle to confirm the identity of Aesop?

Sure enough, the oracle came, it was really the oracle made by Hermes on the altar. Amon sensed clearly that the priest did not play any huā, and Thales of the manage ceremony announced it truthfully. The content of the oracle "People of Midori, the old man in front of you returned from a foreign country, where he did not receive the glorious shining of the gods, the gods will not prove his identity, he needs to prove himself."

Amon was slightly stunned. The Hermes should be able to confirm the identity of Aesop. For example, Amon can use retrospective magic to confirm that Aesop is now Aesop-Ackerman. But Hermes refused to provide a conclusion, but asked Aesop to self-certify and handed over the decision to the city-state civic meeting.

But Hermes did not lie down. The gods told the truth, and he did not deny Aesop ’s identity. Thales seems not to be surprised by this result. After reading the oracle, he said to Aesop: "The gods have oracles, let you prove your identity. ,,

Aesop replied: "I can prove myself. I stand here is a kind of proof, but what kind of evidence do I have to provide before the civic council can make a ruling?" Thales thought for a while: "This It ’s a difficult problem. In fact, you are you, and you do n’t need to prove it. However, according to the decree of the city-state, you must provide the basis for the ruling. There should be three kinds of basis: the mark left by your previous identity, the memories of the past experience, the memories you have Traces of the preserved homeland. "Aesop nodded and said:" It should be so, then I will come one by one. Please first look at this mark carefully. "He stretched out an arm and pulled up his sleeves, approaching the inside of the upper arm The location of the elbow fossa has a faint trace of light brown, which looks like a scar left a long time ago.

Aesop explained: "I was naughty when I was a kid. I heard that the gold would not burn out and would not deteriorate in the fire, so I baked it on the fire with my father ’s ring in it. I burned myself on my arm. The emblem of the Ackerman family was inscribed on the ring. At that time, I was only eight years old, and the scar happened to be half of the emblem. The scar became bigger as I grew up, but I can still see The outline of the emblem. "

Thalles called Red-Ackerman in front of him, took off his ring and checked the family emblem, and the mark on Aesop ’s arm was indeed the blurry outline of half of the emblem, which was obviously not recently left. . Thales also asked the representatives of other civic conferences present to take turns to look at it. Although the scar was already vague, it was still recognizable.

Mei Danzuo in the crowd grinned straight and secretly said that the old guy, Aesop, was ghostly enough, still hiding such a hand, and waited until such an occasion to pick up his sleeves.

After examining the scars, Aesop put down her sleeves and said, "How can there be no memory of my past experience? Otherwise, how did I find it back here? Mr. Thales, I need you to ask Red Ackerman a word. My home Although the old house has been renovated, the steps in front of the gate have remained intact for seventy years, is this the case? "

Taylor turned around and asked Reid. Reid nodded and gave a positive answer. Aesop said again: "There are five stone steps in front of the gate of the house. The whole stone slab is built one by one. The four stone slabs on the top are disassembled. The largest and heaviest stone slab at the bottom is turned over. The back I still remember the carved huā pattern, which can be painted in public. "

Tales asked, "How do you know?"

Aesop replied: "The step was repaired when I was six years old, and I saw it with my own eyes." Thales ordered someone to give Aesop a pen and paper, and Aesop drew a right on the parchment. There are two pythons wrapped around the rod and the top. This is the common appearance of Hermes's scepter. It is carved under the stone slab of the steps to guard the house. Many buildings in Midori have this custom when they are built, leaving a symbol of the patron saint of the city-state in an invisible location. As for where to stay, it is the secret of every family. It is said that if the secret is revealed and the demon learns it, the patron saint will be lost.

The house was newly built after the separation of Aesop ’s father and Reid 1, and the symbol of the patron saint remained under the stone pole on the first step of the front door. Kerman did not know the situation, but Aesop spoke out in public.

This kind of thing is not a joke. If it is verified, then according to customs, this house must be rebuilt to live, because the hidden location of the patron saint has been exposed. Thales hurriedly invited a priest to bring a team of strong warriors to the mansion, took down the steps and opened the slate for inspection.

After a while, the inspector returned, and the priest reported the results to the Civic Conference representative. The steps in front of the house door were not passive, and Aesop provided accurate information.

The sound in the hall suddenly became very noisy, people were whispering, and no one doubted Aesop ’s identity anymore.

Thyls waved his hand to ask everyone to be quiet and let Aesop continue to speak. Aesop was about to speak, Red-Ackerman stepped forward to salute Thales: "Masters, distinguished citizens' conference representatives, do not need to ask anymore, this old man is my cousin Aesop Kerman, I ’m sure! "

Reid-Ackerman is an aristocrat and one of the representatives of the city council ’s civic conference. He heard everyone ’s comments and the result was clear. Regardless of whether he recognizes Aesop as his cousin, Aesop's identity has been identified in everyone's minds. If he waits to make a statement after the verdict, he and his three sons will be scorned and ridiculed. Reid, though he is a good man, also understands affair, and at this time took the initiative to stand up.

Thurs smiled and looked at Red: “The issue now discussed in the Citizens’ Meeting is to confirm whether the old man in front of me is Aesop-Ackerman sixty years ago. On this occasion, Do you agree that sheep does not represent the final result. Mr. Aesop, Mr. Reid, shall we continue to ask, or shall we submit the vote now? "

Aesop said with a smile: "Then please vote now. If the representatives of the Bicheng City Civic Conference think that it is necessary for me to continue to prove, I will continue to prove."

The voting began. The fifty delegates who participated in the voting felt that Aesop did not need to prove more, confirming that he was Aesop-Ackerman. Cheers and applause rang out in the hall. Red-Ackerman called the three sons to salute their uncle Aesop. The elder son Black blushed with shame, the second son Hunt was embarrassed, and the third son Weir seemed very open-hearted.

Aesop opened her arms to the cousin with a warm hug, hugged three nephews in turn, then reached out and took out three flame elves, and handed them to each of the three nephews: "Dear nephews, I went back to my hometown alone. This is the gift I prepared for you. Now that I have confirmed my uncle, please accept it. This is a blessing from a distant return. "

Many people in the hall were stunned, and looked at the flame elves in the hands of the three brothers with various eyes. They never expected Aesop to be so generous, and gave three nephews such valuable gifts in public. In fact, when Aesop met his relatives for the first time, he planned to give them away, otherwise Mei Danzuo will not be taken out, this is a gift that has been prepared for a long time.

Reid sweated on Ackerman ’s forehead, and thanked his three sons on his knees. He stepped forward to grab Aesop ’s arm and his passionate lips were shaking: "My cousin, you are so generous! How can I give the child such a valuable thing? Please forgive me ... "

Aesop interrupted him and chuckled: "I never blamed you. I heard that you are going to buy a merchant ship to do business. I have no other use for keeping this money. If I were your cousin, Funding them is a matter of course.

Actually, I am very grateful to you. After so many years when I returned to my hometown, I could still see the old house and the grange when I was a boy. It was you and your family who kept them, which is too precious to me! "

This scene is very emotional. Thales cleared his throat and said: "Today's meeting, the first issue that was voted on is over. I here also congratulate Ackerman's family."

The second issue will be voted on, proposed by Hunter-Ackerman of the Ackerman family. The second proposal will not take effect until the result of the ruling of the first issue is made. "

Aesop turned quietly and asked, "Oh, sir, is there a second issue today?"

Tales replied somewhat helplessly: "Yes, this second issue is also related to you. The city-state civic meeting unanimously ruled that you are the son of Sains-Ackerman Aesop-Ackerman, Sain The house and estate left by Mr. Si Ackerman should belong to you, which was determined at the same time as the ruling was made. Your nephew Hunt-Ackerman raised another question in advance and requested to do on the basis of this ruling Another ruling ... "

Until Thales ’s words were finished, Hunter-Atman stood up flushed and opened his arms loudly: "Citizens’ conference delegates, please forgive me for my rudeness, I withdraw my proposal! "

Red-Ackerman also said: "God, please forgive this stupid boy! I also ask him to withdraw his proposal."

Thails asked with a smile: "Mr. Hunter-Ackerman, do you really want to give up your request?"

Hunt nodded again and again: "Yes, I take it back!"

Thyls waved very simply: "Then this meeting is over."
