022, share the worries of the country (Part 1)
Everyone looked at Dasty, and Xiao Gu interrupted dissatisfiedly: "You did this clearly because you deliberately let him go, before Lord Randir arrived."
Before Dasti could answer, Gelie suddenly said to Xiao Mo: "Governor, this decree is still valid, right? No one should be blamed for faithfully enforcing the Kingdom Decree, and a clerk should never blame his superiors like this!"
Xiao Mo was able to rule the Syrian city-state for many years, and of course he was a shrewd official veteran. He immediately understood that Gere wanted to protect Dasty. As the governor and temple high priest in the Syrian city-state, Xiao Mo would rather offend ten Randir than one Randir. Moreover, his position was one level higher than Randir, and flattered Randir only because of the identity of the other king's envoy.
These days, seeing the villain Randir looking so proud that Xiao Mo had long disliked him. Seeing Gelie scolding Xiao Gu and questioning Randir, he was eager to go with the flow and nodded, "Yes, this decree is completely legal and valid. I did not say that there is anything wrong with Mayor Dasty doing this. I just asked him why, which is surprising after all."
Dasti bowed and explained, "Actually, I am making excuses to punish Amon. Not long ago, I heard something from the merchants who came from Ejuice. Another saint named Maria appeared in the temple of Ejuice. She received the tears of the gods offered by a miner in Duke. More than two months ago, the chief magistrate of the Cape City-state, Rod Dick, did come here with a girl named Maria. I thought he was just doing business, but I didn't expect this to happen.
At that time, Xiao Gu, the priest in charge of the affairs of the Temple of Horus and Muyun in the town, was not aware of it. He was my clerk, so there was no such divine stone in the records of this town. Later, my investigation result was that Amon mined the tears of the gods and presented them to Goddess Isis in his private name on the spot. The person who took the divine stone was Fayol Judas, the clerk of Rod Dick.
This behavior cannot be tolerated, but it cannot be used as an excuse to punish the Eju Empire. In order to prevent similar things from happening again, Amon must be punished to deter and warn everyone. So I thought of this decree from thirty years ago, which allowed him to pursue an evil magician in the deep mountains where the cave dwellers lived, and ordered him not to come back if he could not find it.
This is a kind of exile, and he cannot come back alive! As the mayor, I have no right to execute a town citizen at will, but I have the responsibility to share the worries of the kingdom. I thought about it for several nights before I thought of this method. Lord Randir’s purpose was to punish Amon. I am very pleased and regretful. I am very pleased that he should be punished from the position of the kingdom. Unfortunately, Lord Randir did not come three days earlier."
After Dasty finished speaking, Xiao Gu was so scared that he was afraid to speak again by the scolding just now. The others also saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong and did not speak first. Only Gelie nodded and said, "So that's the case, it's really a good intention! Dasty is a competent commander who knows how to share the worries of the kingdom! Governor, Lord Randir, we should be happy that there are such outstanding talents under our rule, right?"
Governor Xiao Mo, High Priest Couseman, and Treasurer Morton agreed in unison: "Yes, Mayor Dusty is loyal and competent!"
Randil was a little confused. He was the envoy who came to punish Amon. What should he do if Amon left? Isn’t the mission impossible to complete? He waved his hand and said, “Gelie, don’t worry about commending a rural mayor. How can this envoy complete his mission?”
Gelie suddenly snorted, and the wine glass in front of Randil broke silently, and the bright red wine splashed dirty his clothes. Randil jumped up from the chair in fear, and only heard Gelie say coldly: "You are so rude, you dare to call me by my name without any respect!"
Randir also woke up. The local officials along the way respected him very much, which made the little bureaucrat of the Ministry of Justice who left the capital for the first time a little lost. Gelie is a level 8 great magician and a member of the veteran group of the Hati Kingdom Theology Academy. His status is extremely transcendent. How could he scold him for no reason? If Gelie makes a big deal about this matter, and even impeaches him for disrespect for the gods through the veteran group of the Theology Academy, the worst consequence may be that he will be deprived of his title and removed from his post.
Gelie naturally would not do such a boring and deficient thing, but Mither Randil was frightened by his own thoughts and immediately bowed and said, "Dear Master Mither is very sorry. I hope you can forgive my rudeness! I was just in a hurry just now, and I thought that the mission I shouldered could not be completed, so I spoke without saying anything."
Gelie's face calmed down, but did not let Randir sit down, and slowly spoke: "It's not impossible for you to complete your mission. Governor Xiao Mo escorts you into the deep mountains at the border with Assyrian and Baron. When will Amon be found and punished him, and when will he return to the King's Response? I can testify for you and bring the news back to the King's Law Ministry and send someone to notify your superiors and family so that they don't worry."
Xiao Mo and others wanted to laugh in their hearts but had to hold back. It was really hateful for guys like Randir who regarded other people's humility and politeness as their own majesty, but it was hard to say anything due to their identity. But it was not easy for Gelie, a great magician who could not curry favor with Randir, who really wanted to turn against him. Even the head of the Ministry of Justice would not offend Gelie because of Randir.
Seeing Randyr's expression was almost crying, he knelt down and bowed to Gelie and said, "Dear Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Gelie smiled and reached out to help him up from the air: "Actually, it's easy to do. There are two ways. One is to give Governor Xiao Mo an order, asking him to send someone to bring Amon to you, and you are waiting in the Syrian city-state. But this method may not work. Amon was probably eaten by wild animals in the mountains. The second method is simple. You just need to report what happened here as it is. Don't forget to praise Xiao Mo and Dasti for how the local officials such as truly share the worries of the country.
Amon has received the punishment he deserves. He is just a miner. The purpose of the King of the People sent you to punish the messenger was to warn others. Now that this purpose has been achieved, no one will worry about anything anymore. Besides, with me present to testify for you, it can be solved in one sentence. I think the head of the Ministry of Justice saw that you were diligent in your daily life, so he sent you out for a walk. Eat, drink, and have fun all the way, right?"
Randir's face was red with shame. He said "yes" or "no", and said "no", so he had to say timidly: "Thank you, respected great master, thank you, my colleagues, so let's do it."
...
Amon climbed up the mountain, and it felt like he was not climbing an isolated mountain but walking on a plateau. The mountain road was not just going up, it was undulating and undulating through many gentle and open areas, and lush primitive jungles grew. The vegetation here was rich and rainy, and there were many wild animals. It was a place suitable for hunting and picking. No wonder there were tribes of savages living in caves.
He always kept vigilant while leaning on the iron branch, but he didn't find any trace of the savages in the cave for the whole day. He only saw several squirrels and wild sheep. The squirrels in the mountain do not avoid people, and even jump on the high branches and look at you curiously, but if you go too close, it will suddenly drill into the canopy and disappear. The wild sheep are very brave and run away when they hear the movement. Their movements are very flexible and can jump on the steep rocks.
You can't always see footprints on the road. The climate in the mountains is very complex. Sometimes the ridge is a pair of cloudy and clear sky. In some places, it is dry and cannot leave footprints. The path itself is intermittent.
As the sky gradually darkened, Amon left the path and found a depression with his back against the stone wall. In front of him was a small open area, which was his favorite camping terrain in the mountains. He first made a dinner for Schrödinger, and then fed himself. The trait of meat floss he carried with him was not much, at most, enough for him and Schrödinger to eat for two or three days, and then he had to hunt by himself.
When he was camping, he realized something that according to the old madman, if he could use two low-level magical techniques together, he would be a qualified second-level magician. I wonder if the old madman left the information that he could see in the "Eyes of the Earth".
After it got dark, Amon moved his limbs in the open space. His movements were like a gymnastics but there was no fixed routine. It was the habit of bathing in the cold springs all year round. As the heat flow in his body rose and spread, stretched his muscles and bones, and he could get the greatest relaxation to eliminate the fatigue of the day. It was strange that even if he didn't wash the cold springs, there would be a warm feeling all over his body when he exercised like this every day, which felt very comfortable.
Then Amon inserted his staff in front of him, spread the clean soft grass and sat quietly and meditated. The so-called "power given by the gods" is often called mana, which uses mana to communicate with external objects in a state of concentrating and introspection. The magician may be good at different magicians, but as the most basic skill, this state of concentrating and introspection is the same. Different levels of magicians can reach different states.
Amon still knows the information magic technique. The information magic technique is both intermediate-level magic technique and detection magic technique. Being able to use a single intermediate-level magic technique is also one of the criteria for evaluating the third-level magician. But the old madman has sealed the words he wants to tell him in the earth's pupils. As long as Amon reaches a certain stage, he will naturally "see" the content of a certain stage.
