Améng replied frankly: "Whether God's envoy or priest, I'm here to accuse Antonio, and I'll go to court first."

Medanzo said again: "The Olympian gods may come directly to the earth and appear in the court of the Delphi priests."

A méng sneered coldly: "It would be strange if they don't come! After doing so many things, isn't it just to force me to turn against me? But there is a god who can't come!"

The god Améng mentioned that he could not come naturally refers to Aboro. He had an agreement with Aboro that no matter where he came, Aboro would retreat. But what is funny is that this year's Delphi oracle was promulgated by the Temple of Aboro, and the place of judgment of the Delphi Priests' Court is in the hall of the Temple of Aboro.

Delphi is a holy place composed of major temples. Their courts are different from ordinary city-state courts. They are composed of priests in the main temples, and mainly decide on major theocracy. They usually ignore the civil disputes among city-states. However, the accusations raised by Améng are related to the authenticity of the Delphi oracle. The civil city-state courts cannot make a decision, so they come here.

Delphi's terrain is dangerous, but since ancient times, people who have contributed their contributions have built a road in the mountains that can accommodate two carriages. The scenery is extremely beautiful, and the beautiful scenery also has an indescribable sacred atmosphere. It is truly a holy place on the Heaton Peninsula. Améng saw the temple scattered on the hillside from the mountain. When they entered the territory of Delphi, a group of priests were waiting at the intersection.

Someone stepped forward and asked, "Are you Ahméng and Medanzo?"

Améng did not salute like the people who came here all over the Heaton Peninsula, but just sat in the carriage and nodded, "Yes, we are Améng and Medanzo. Is the Delphi Priestly Court ready?"

A priest holding a scepter said, "It is ready to wait for the court to begin. According to Delphi's ritual, non-sanctuary priests cannot ride in cars and horses. From here you need to walk."

Ahméng jumped out of the car and waved at Medanzo and said, "Dropping off the horse and leaving!"

...

The hall of the Temple of Delphi Aboro, a court of priests composed of temple priests was ready. There was no seat in this court. Jurors stood on both sides. The judge in the middle was a priestess from the Temple of Themis, who had accepted the golden sacrifice of Aesop.

But today the priestess used a black cloth to cover his eyes, holding a small scale in his hand, and a sharp sword was placed under his feet. When Améng saw her, she recognized her. She was Themis, the goddess of fairness and justice in the Olympus, and she only appeared in the face of the priestess.

In this trial, Améng was nominally accusing Delphi's messenger Antonio, but in fact, it was targeted by the gods such as Aboro. Améng was probably no one more suitable to act as the ruling. Améng noticed that Themis had actually come from his hands!

This object was originally a magical artifact created by Osiris, the god of the underworld of the Nine-Linked God. It was the center of Osiris's underworld. Later, Arméng took Artemis to capture Osiris's underworld. Osiris left, and this object was re-refined and named the Judgment Balance by Arméng. The Judgment Balance was taken away by Artemis as "trophy", saying that it was to be transferred to a goddess related to Arméng among the gods of Olympus. It turned out that she gave it to Themis.

It was not until Améng saw Themis, the goddess of fairness and justice in Macedonia that she understood what kind of relationship this goddess had with him. According to the explanation of the immortal Ju Mang, Themis once re-entered the samsara with his own deity, came to the world to become the flower of dreams, and later became the lover of his disciple John, and was also considered the disciple of Améng. However, the couple unfortunately died on the battlefield.

At this moment, Themis not only closed her eyes, but also deliberately used a black cloth to block her eyes, showing her attitude and ignored the identity of both the prosecution and the defense. Since Themis appeared here, other gods in the Olympus system might have mixed in the court to watch, and Ah Méng ignored it.

Améng and Medanzo walked into the hall, and the presiding officer said, "My name is Portia, and I am the presiding officer of the Delphi Special Court this time."

Portia is the name of the priestess in the Temple of Delphithemis. In fact, her eyes and the balance of judgment have shown that she is the goddess of fairness and justice. But since she appears here as Portia, she calls herself Portia rather than a goddess. Just like what Arméng did in the court of Midulli, everyone guessed that he was Arméng, but Arméng did not regard herself as a god.

Themis's opening remark was simple and clear, without any extra nonsense, and the trial began like this, and Antonio had already arrived in court and stood on both sides of the hall with Arméng, one left and one right. Arméng saluted to the presiding judge and all the judges. Themis said straight to the point: "Améng, do you want to accuse Antonio of falsely calling an oracle? But everyone here can prove that there is indeed such content in this year's Delphi oracle, and Antonio did not lie."

Améng nodded and said, "I have also heard of the content of the Delphi Ora. I just want to know why Antonio believes that the person mentioned in the ora is Aesop? If he does not have conclusive evidence, it is murder! If the person mentioned in the ora is Aesop, then I want to ask the god who descended the ora, why should he think so?"

Antonio replied, "I made such a judgment based on Aesop's actions. All the messengers of the city-states presented their offerings to the temples, and only Aesop brought the gold back to Midulli. I followed this clue and went to Midulli, and happened to find that he was scolded by people. I investigated his previous actions and found that he was indeed a man who blasphemed and offended the gods."

Améng said tit-for-tat: "I have also investigated Aesop's previous actions, and even clearly understood what he did throughout his life. He did not believe in the Olympus gods, nor did he take the initiative to sacrifice to the temple of the city-state. However, he did not deny the beliefs of the people of the city-state. Although he had rejected the threats and threats of gods, this did not constitute blasphemy or offense, which was also a fact."

Antonio asked back, "Améng, the man mentioned by the Delphi Oracle is the messenger of a city-state. Who else do you think there will be besides Aesop? You don't think it's blasphemy or offense, but the gods here may not think so."

At this time, the court official said, "I remind both the prosecution and the defense that you are arguing about a question that the court cannot make a decision. Only the god who was mentioned in the Delphi oracle this year was clear about it. For a more fair ruling, I suggest that the plaintiff pray to the gods here and ask the oracle to give an answer."

The court today is really lively, and the official is also a priest here, but as soon as he spoke, Améng recognized that the person was actually dressed in Artemis. Améng turned his head and asked the official, "How should I pray to the gods?"

The official replied: "Like all those who come to the temple to pray for the oracle, you should salute to the statue of God with your hands, your mouth, and your forehead to the ground. You asked the judge again: "Do you have to do this?"

The presiding judge replied expressionlessly: "It must be done when requesting an oracle. This is Delphi's ritual."

Mei Danzo, who was behind Ahméng, was about to get angry, but was stopped by Ahméng in the spirit. The Lord of Heaven said: "Okay, I will ask the oracle to explain first. If the gods cannot answer, then I will still ask the court to make a ruling... Lord Presiding Officer, please give it to the side."

The judge tactfully flashed to the side. Ah Méng walked to the center of the hall and knelt down towards the statue of Abolu on the altar in the distance. As soon as his knees touched the ground, he heard a crackling sound. The two tues of the statue of Abolu broke open. Ah Méng ignored the amazing incident and still saluted. His hands, forehead and mouth touched the ground, and bowed to the statue of Abolu. The statue of Abolu also fell to the face and fell to the ground, falling into pieces. It seemed that it was a vengeance to the statue of Abolu. Such a thing happened in the temple, which would be a blow-out, but at this moment it only caused a slight movement, and then calmed down. As expected, most of the priests in the temple were divine envoys guided by each god, and there were gods mixed in between, which stopped people's panic in time.

Wherever Ahméng went, Ahbha must retreat. This is the agreement between the two gods. Since Ahméng came to the Ahbha Temple in Delphi, then Ahbha could not descend the oracle. Ahméng saluted to the Ahbha statue, and this worship brought the statue down. Although it was beyond the expectations of mortals, the gods should understand what was going on.

Since the Delphi Oracle attracted Ah Méng, then Ah Méng could not save face for Abolo. After he finished saluting, he stood up and patted his robe, walked back to his original position calmly, pointed to the statue of the god that had collapsed from the altar and said, "Sir, it is obvious that the god who issued the Delphi Oracle has refused to answer. Mr. Antonio probably has to answer himself. No matter what method he uses, he must provide evidence of Aesop's offense and blasphemy."

Antonio's face was extremely ugly. He was the envoy guided by Aboro. At this moment, Aboro's statue fell into the temple. The god threw him out to face Améng's questioning alone. He had to answer: "As the envoy of the city-state of Midulli, Aesop did not offer all the gold to the major temples, but took it back."

Améng said: "Everyone knows that Aesop did not believe in the Olympus gods, and this is not a reason to execute him. Aesop came to Delphi because of the oracle of Hermes. Hermes asked him to offer gold to the temple that was willing and worthy of offering. He stayed in Delphi for ten days and saw only a priest who was worthy of offering. He did not violate the oracle nor his own beliefs."

Antonio shouted, "But he pissed all the priests of Delphi!"

Améngyin nodded calmly and said, "Yes, this is the fact and the key to the problem. You are the messenger representing Delphi, and you have deprived him of his life in order to vent your anger. And as Aesop's master, I come to ask you to repay what I have lost."

The presiding judge reminded: "Améng, you are just a foreigner and have no right to change the ruling of the Midulli Court."

Améng replied: "But I have the right to ask for the compensation I deserve. Antonio accused Aesop, but here he cannot prove the reason for the charge, and even the gods refused to answer. It was this Lord Antonio who declared in the court of Midulli that 'I deprive Aesop of life and take away this sinful spirit in the name of the gods. The oracle has guided him, and he is the one who blasphemed and offended the gods, and is here to receive the punishment he deserves.' Then now, he needs to pay the price for his words and deeds."

The official asked, "Améng, what price do you want Antonio to pay? The request you made to him cannot exceed your own losses. And everyone in the court knew that Antonio did not take Aesop's spirit away."

Améng said again: "Aesop is my slave, and I free him. This is not only my kindness, but also his due repatriation. But Antonio took his life and I need him to compensate me in place of Aesop."

At this time, another priest said, "This is not a problem. We have slaves here. If you lose one slave, we can compensate you two or even ten slaves, the entire holy land Delphi, you can choose as you like."

But Améng shook his head and said, "Thank you for your generosity, but the value of people in the world is different. After a slave like Aesop exerts his power, he can build a city-state on the plain of nothing. All of you Delphi's slaves are not as good as him in my eyes, and I don't need such compensation."

Antonio asked, "Améng, what do you want me to compensate you?"

Améng: "Ten divine stones and one finger. Ten divine stones were the price I bought from Siou. It was not worth Aesop himself, but I don't want to make things difficult for you or blackmail you. As for that finger, it symbolizes Aesop's talent and creation, it is also what he owes me. If you have any debts to check, you cannot refuse this request."

Antonio: "Whose finger are you going to cut off?"

Améng: "Of course it's your own finger. It's not that others deprived Aesop of his life in the name of the gods, but you."

The presiding officer said: "Améng, why not show your kindness? You can make a more gentle request to satisfy everyone. Maybe you can ask for all the gold presented by Midulli as compensation for you, and I think this court can agree with this ruling."

Améng shook his head and said, "Those golds are useless to me, they are only useful to the priests of Delphi, so let them keep them. I only have ten divine stones and one finger of Antonio!"

The presiding judge reminded again: "This court is very clear about your identity. You should also know that Aesop's life is about to come to an end. Whether he will be executed by Midulli's court or not, he will not live until next year."

Ahméng shook his head again and said, "This has nothing to do with whether he should be executed. Even if he drinks that glass of poisonous wine in the last second of his life, Antonio is also the murderer."

The judge: "It will not be good for you to do this."

Ahmeng: "This lawsuit itself is not good for me, I did not come for the benefit."

The judge: "Why are you so cold? Wouldn't it be better to accept more compensation than a finger that is useless?"

Améng asked back: "Has Antonio ever been kind to Aesop in Midulli's court? Dear judge, have you been willing to be bitten twice by a poisonous snake? Have you ever heard of the story of the farmer and the snake? This story is told by Aesop. I don't forgive anyone who should not be tolerated."

The presiding judge reminded again: "You don't have any mercy towards Antonio now. How can you expect the gods to be merciful to you in the future?"

Améng replied: "Mr. Presiding judge, this has nothing to do with you! Antonio has no mercy towards Aesop. How can he expect me to be merciful to him at this moment? He is a scapegoat in the flock. He should have thought of this result. Why don't you blame the person who grazed the flock?"

The official suddenly said: "Améng, cross the mountain master peak where Delphi is located, and there is a Pythagoras manor at the foot of another mountain. The owner of Pythagoras once said that spiritual hun can be reincarnated. Although the reincarnation does not know its origin, the depths of spiritual hun carry the mark of reincarnation. Could it be that your previous life was a fierce jackal, and finally showed off his fangs when he came here?"

The presiding judge also sighed: "A cruel person, what else is in the world harder than your heart? No matter which magic weapon is, it is not as sharp as your hatred. Can't any kind of plea to impress you?"

Améng: "The story of the wolf coming is Aesop once said. In this court, no matter how tactful and pleasant the words are, it will not touch me. Lord Presiding Officer, can you make a verdict? I presented ten divine stones to this temple, but I must cut down that finger!"

The presiding officer looked at Antonio and said, "This court will make a ruling. Do you have anything else to say?"

Antonio replied, "I believe that the court's ruling must be just, and I ask for blessings from the gods."

More than one god stood in the hall. If they were all blessed by Antonio, it would be difficult for Améng to cut off one of his fingers. The judge said blankly: "I made a ruling. Antonio really has no evidence to prove that Aesop is the person mentioned in the oracle. His accusation against Aesop caused Mr. Aesop's losses and should be compensated."

Medanzo praised loudly: "Themis! Dear Lord Presiding, you are Themis who symbolizes fairness and justice!"
