065, Embarrassing Last Word

Rhode Dick has the skill of a wise politician who can guide an unexpected emergencies in the most favorable direction. There is no script in this scene beforehand, but if a dramatist is designed, the best effect will be like this. When he takes the staff and hears the cheers of the crowd, the prestige of the gods also makes the city lord's prestige even more. Amon, who was kneeling behind the guard, was originally the most critical person, but now he seems to have become a supporting actor.

After Rod Dick thanked the gods, he stood up and led everyone to Amon with a staff, stretched out one hand to help him up and asked, "This righteous man, where did you find Lord Nero's last words and relics in the cave?"

Amon replied: "In the deep mountains on the west bank of the Youdi River, there are few people and only wild animals. I happened to see it because I was chasing the beast and slipping down the cliff. There were handwriting in a cave under the cliff, and there was a staff and a ring next to it." As he said that, he took out the ring and handed it back to Rhode Dick in public.

Rhode Dick's hand sank slightly. The weight of this ring is quite heavy. It is obviously a space magic weapon containing things. Rhode Dick himself is a level 6 warrior who has learned the basic magical arts, but he has no ability to use space magic weapons, so he will feel heavy when he gets it, but he doesn't know what it is inside.

Fayol Judah asked next to him: "Amon, you are a hunter, how can you know words?"

Amon had no good impression of the clerk and replied calmly: "I am a hunter, but my grandfather is not, he is a punished clerk."

Fayol Judah frowned and asked again, "The deep mountains on the west bank of the Youdi River should be in the territory of the Kingdom of Hati. You are a Hati native. Even if you know how to read, how could you know the words of Aiju?"

Amon explained naturally: "Master Nero's last words were written in two words."

Of course he could not tell the whole truth. This was actually the experience of the old madman who saw Medanzo's great-grandfather's last words in the deep mountains. Amon just borrowed it and changed it to Master Nero's last words. Bell's message in the mysterious cave was written in two words. Facing Judas' question, Amon answered it casually.

As for Nero's last words themselves, it was completely true, and Amon did not make up anything else. The earth's pupils inlaid on the staff contained information left by Nero. As long as Rhodes Dick makes it clear, it is impossible to make a false statement, but Amon cannot say that he has read this message, otherwise the identity of the magician will be exposed.

The Tianshu Continent has different writings, but the language is similar, so there is no obstacle to communication. Amon did not hide his identity as a foreigner because his accent still had traces. Rhode Dick realized that it was not suitable to ask too much here. It was not a time to chat about family matters among the people. He held Amon's arm and said, "This righteous man came from afar, don't stand in the square to speak. Let's go to the temple to talk in detail."

Lord Dick did not go home in the afternoon, so he changed his mind and returned to the Temple of Horus. The adults surrounded him and followed him up the long stone steps, and the people were still cheering.

Fayol Judas walked behind and always felt that Amon's accent sounded very familiar, and he was very impressed in his memory. He looked at Amon's back. Although he stood beside Lord Rhode Dick and was surrounded by noble adults, the boy was very steady, with a straight back, without any cramping or panic. He felt like a flash of light in his mind, and he suddenly remembered something!

Two years ago, one of the most proud deeds of Fayol Judah in the distant and desolate town of Duke, was to take away the tears of the gods that had just been mined at the first time, so that Lord Rhodes Dick's plan to elect a saint was successful. As for whom the miner was mining the tears of the gods, it was not important. The god stones in Duke town must have been mined by a miner, and that was only his luck.

But Fayol always remembers that when he walked into the low house, the boy holding a sledgehammer did not kneel down at the first time. He stood very straight in front of the anvil, and he had just such a figure, but he had not yet fully grown up. In his memory, the boy only said three words, and Fayol and Judas have never forgotten it yet-

"Who are you, come in like this?"

"When mining the divine stone, you must stand to swing the mine hammer, otherwise how can you see it being taken out intact?"

"My name is Amon, and everyone here calls me Amon."

Yes, it was him. The name this young man just said to Aristotle was Amon! - Fayol Judah shouted in his heart. He finally recognized Amon, the young miner who mined the tears of the gods in Duke Town. He thought he would never meet again, but he did not expect to see him again. At this moment, he was walking with his arms in the cheers of the people.

Do you tell Lord Dick? If you say it, Amon will be more grateful. But Fayol Judah was worried about one thing. Lord Dick gave him thirty gold coins as a thank you to the miner, but he only gave Amon thirty silver coins. This was a small matter, and no one would pursue a clerk's occasional pampering pocket, but in the current situation, Fayol Judah would have no shame to see anyone.

Many so-called "small things" are like this, as if they don't matter, but being turned out in a noble way is a defilement of noble character. Listening to the cheers of the people, in this case, if Fayol and Judah talk about the past, don't think about raising their heads again.

Does Amon still know himself? Fayol and Judah talked to himself in his heart, hoping that he had forgotten it. But reason told Judah that this was impossible. Thinking about it, if he was the miner, he would never forget that scene. Will Amon talk about the past later? I hope he doesn't want to talk about it, even if he talks, there is probably no need to talk about the small details of the thirty silver coins.

Last time he received the tears of the gods, Roddick thanked Mayor Dusty, and this time, the only one who would be thanked was Amon himself. The staff he sent back to the main priest and in front of all the people in the temple square was perfect. Compared to the generous gifts he was about to receive, the thirty silver coins were no longer worth mentioning. The child must not know that Roddick gave thirty gold coins at the beginning. - Fayol Judas kept comforting himself in his heart.

At the same time, Judas thought in his heart that this child was so lucky! He mined the tears of the gods, making Rhode Dick's plan successful. Today, he returned Nero's lost staff in public, making Rhode Dick's reputation reach a new peak. He was like a god who favored Rhode Dick. Why did all the good things happen to a lowly little miner? This is too unfair!

Hasn't Duke Town been destroyed by the flood and no one survived? Why is it not dead yet?

No one knew that Fayol and Judah had so many thoughts. The long steps in front of the temple seemed so long. The weather was not hot, but sweat was oozing from Judah's forehead.

Not only Fayol Judah recognized Amon, but also Aristotle recognized him. He saved the child in the square and sent him to Saint Mary to be a servant for three days. But when Amon saw Rod Dick, he did not mention the past, nor did he show his understanding of Aristotle. Obviously, he just didn't want to mention it anymore. Moreover, Amon's appearance has indeed changed a lot and he could hardly recognize it.

I heard that Duke town has been destroyed by the flood, so this surviving child must have experienced too many hardships, and it is normal not to mention sad pasts again. Who can do without the secrets he doesn't want to mention? As long as he doesn't say it, Aristotle doesn't want to point it out. After all, this is Amon's own business.

Aristotle was also sighing that this young miner named Amon was really like a god who favored Rhodes Dick. He not only mined the tears of the gods at the most appropriate time, but also sent back the staff of the main priest at the most appropriate time. As the staff that Rhodes Dick attached the most and trusted, Aristotle knew very well what the young city lord had been worried about.

The Eju Empire was powerful, but the cape city-states on the northeastern border were relatively weak. Once wars and conflicts occurred in the two city-states of the Hati Kingdom, the cape city-states would be quite passive.

The Uruk city-state of the Kingdom of Barron had the great hero Gilgamesh and the mainland's first warrior Enkidu, who held the throat of the Youdi River. No one dared to attack them. But if they attacked the Eju Empire westward, how could the Cape City-state resist? The relationship between the Barron and the Eju Empire was still peaceful, and there was not much danger of war for the time being, but on the other hand, the Hati Kingdom might be possible.

On the surface, the Hati Kingdom had surrendered to the Eju Empire for many years, but it was precisely because of their dissatisfaction with this fate of surrender that they kept accumulating the power of resistance. A large flood cut off land transportation and made the cape city-state temporarily safe, but the flood could not never retreat. The soldiers of the Syrian city-state were well-equipped, and the most important thing was to be united.

I heard that the chief priest there led the crowd to protect the city, and later became a level nine master. His reputation was unparalleled and he was even more authoritative than the gods in the Syrian city-state. This kind of cohesion that the people are determined to be the most terrifying weapon in the war, which can make the people sacrifice their lives and move towards a goal.

In the battle formation of thousands of troops, the personal strength of the top mainlanders such as Gilgamesh, Enqidu, and Gelie may not be a decisive factor. What they really are their appeal and cohesion among the people. In contrast, although Rod Dick is also a talented city lord, he cannot reach that height. So when Amon returned the staff in public, Rod Dick would be so excited that the always calm city lord was trembling gently.

The powerful empire, a city-state with relatively weak power, is in a very important strategic position and faces potential war threats. This is what Rhodes Dick is most worried about. It cannot be blamed for the long-term thought of this city lord. Once something happens, he cannot escape. He is not only the city lord, but also the territory of his family for generations is also in the cape city-state.

On the other hand, individual strength is not the decisive factor in winning among thousands of troops, but it is also a symbol and a guarantee for calming people's hearts. After Nero's death, the Cape City State had no great magicians in charge for more than 30 years. Compared with the Uruk city state of Barron, the Syrian city state of Hathi was obviously at a disadvantage.

Since Maria became a saint, she has gradually mastered some important affairs of the Temple of Isis in Mengfei. Rhode Dick has applied to send a great magician to sit in the Cape Temple many times, but there has been no reply. Not long ago, the saint finally ordered someone to send a level 8 great magician to patrol the temple on the frontier.

Rhode Dick has made all the reception preparations and wants to take this opportunity to ask the great magician to stay as the main priest of the Cape City State. But how can you speak such words? Who would like to leave the prosperous and comfortable Meng Feisi to stay in the Cape for a long time? A level 8 master magic can be very comfortable everywhere. Just the day before the great magician arrived, the main priest's staff was miraculously sent back, which gave Rhode Dick a good excuse and the opportunity to make a request.

Amon naturally didn't know that he was coming under such a complicated background. In fact, he had always had a good impression of Rhode Dick. It was because of the arrival of this city lord that Amon had the opportunity to meet Aiko, so he always felt an inexplicable sense of gratitude in his heart. Aiko was once sent to him by this city lord.

The temple of the cape city-state is much more majestic than the Horus Temple in Duke. When you walk into the main hall, you will first pay homage to the statue of Horus in the center. This is the first time Amon looks at this legendary god carefully. Although Duke also has the Horus Temple, it is just a symbol of surrender to the Eju Empire. No one spontaneously sacrifices.

The statue of Horus here is more than fifty feet tall, with arms folded on the chest, and a pair of huge wings hanging down behind his shoulders. The human body is carved with the head of an eagle, and the eyes are sharper than the eagle's beak. According to legend, Horus's incarnation is a condor traveling around the sky, so craftsmen created such a statue. The huge statue has an indescribable sense of oppression, and everyone involuntarily bows down as soon as they enter the temple.

After worshiping the gods, Amon was invited to sit in a side hall. Among a group of noble adults, Amon did not look too flattered. He had also talked face to face with the kingdom princess, and hugged a goddess and walked around the grassland. This kind of scene was nothing.

Rhode Dick was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Our righteous man, Amon, you have a different demeanor than ordinary people, firm and calm. Even if you sit next to the noble adults, you are not at all at a loss. This is rare for young people!"

Amon owed and explained: "I have hunted fierce beasts in the dangerous mountains. I have experienced countless life and death tests, and I rarely feel panic."

Rhode Dick: "Oh, so that's it. It's the event that made you! You found that Master Nero's last words were also on the way to hunt. Can you tell me in detail?"

Amon changed the story of the old madman and changed the time and characters, and reiterated Nero's last words and the story of the matter. Finally, he explained: "I read the words on the cave. Lord Nero hoped that someone could discover it, and sent his relics back to the cape city-state, and returned the staff to the temple, and the relics in the ring to his family according to the will."

He did not repeat the words in the Earth's Eyes, but he did not hide what he had obtained and said about the three scrolls. Anyway, as long as Rhode Dick checks, he will be clear after reading the message. Rhode Dick asked with interest: "Did you bring those three scrolls? There is no other meaning. It's yours that Lord Nero will give you. I'm just curious."

Amon couldn't take out the three scrolls, nor did he want to take them out, let alone two of them had been used up. He replied regretfully: "I fell down the cliff and found Lord Nero's last words. The mountain road was very dangerous. When I was out of trouble, I accidentally cut my bag by thorns. The three scrolls were lost. Fortunately, the staff and ring were still there."

Rhode Dick sighed and said, "What a blessing in disgrace, don't be sad, I will thank you heavily... Please wait, we will check the information left in the staff."

It is not difficult to verify the information in the staff. As long as you master the intermediate information magic, they did not use Amon in front of him. Nero's message was very important, and it may also involve certain secrets, which are not suitable for a foreigner to know. In a small meditation room in the temple, Rhode Dick handed over the staff to the oldest priests, not only the chief executives of the city-states, the three high priests of the temple, and several heirs of the Lington family.

Nero was just a name. After he was a full-time priest who dedicated his whole body and soul to the gods, he used the name registered on the temple directory. People's habit of calling him no longer had the family surname. Nero was born in the Lington family of the great nobleman in the cape city-state. Nero himself had no children, but there were nine adult nephews in the family, and they should be present. Rhode Dick thought very thoughtfully and sent the fast horse to pick up all the people he could pick up.

When the priest raised his staff, Nero's voice more than thirty years ago echoed in the quiet room again - "I am the person who is fortunate to come here and pick up my staff. No matter who you are, please listen to my last words. I am the main priest from the Cape City-state of the Eju Empire, and the seventh-level master Nero... When you send the staff to the Cape Temple, please find Lord Dick and ask him to ask a master who is proficient in advanced space magic to take out the will in the ring and read it in public and make it notarized. Lord Dick is trustworthy."

After hearing the last words, everyone changed color. Nero's last words involved some secrets, including his suspicion and hesitation about the gods when facing death, which were not suitable for publication. Thirty years ago, the official Eju official made a conclusion about Bell's past, and the details were not allowed to be circulated by the outside world. Although Nero claimed in his last words that he did not betray the gods, this had a very unfavorable impact on his reputation after his death and on the hearts of the city-state people.
