066, The nephews of the Lington family

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 Mengfeisi, will come to the cape city state, and Lord Lord can ask him to take action."

Rhode Dick nodded and said, "Our respected great magician Nero said something that should not be said before his death and something that should not be said, but he maintained absolute loyalty to the gods and the empire and sacrificed his life for it. Everyone here must understand that what you heard today must not be revealed, otherwise you will become a traitor to the entire city-state!"

Everyone nodded silently. There were indeed some words in Nero's last words that could not be circulated, mainly in these few paragraphs-

"It is not only gods in this world that have will. I am surprised where Bell's strength and courage come from? When he passed by the cape city-state, I advised him to return to the embrace of the temple, but he did not leave him behind. Bell told me that mortals can also become gods. At this point, Gods deceived everyone, and we are all deceived.

The great Horus, I admit that I am very curious! I once said to Bell, ‘Don’t tempt me’, and I have long rejected the temptation of the devil. But is the eternal temptation of becoming a god 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 wanted to see Bell confirm the answer, so I let him and Cong Ni leave the Eju border. Although I couldn't stop him alone, I didn't do my best to stop him. He is my tribe and my benefactor. I couldn't make up my mind to challenge him with all my courage."

Rod Dick knew the interests of it and issued strict orders on the spot. In fact, Amon was somewhat clear. When he described the text content he saw in the cave, he did not mention these, but Amon was not a member of the officialdom of the Eju Empire. He did not take the problem seriously. He just omitted some inappropriate words to avoid trouble as much as possible.

Everyone was silent for a while. Nero's oldest nephew, Obama, the current head of the Lington family, finally couldn't help but speak first: "I want to know what my uncle left us and where is the will?"

Rhode Dick took out the ring and put it on the table, and smiled bitterly: "The will and things are in this ring. This ring itself is also a precious space object, something inherited by your family. But unfortunately, none of us can open it, so we can only wait until Lord Julian of Mengfeisi arrives tomorrow and ask him to deal with it."

The nephews of the Lington family looked at the ring and could not hide their fiery desire. The Lington family was very rich and was once the second largest aristocratic family in the Cape Town City State after the Dicks. As the main priest of the city-state, Nero had the absolute authority to dominate all wealth in the family, but when he was young, he was a prodigal son.

The "hobby" of making scrolls is not something that ordinary people can afford. It not only consumes a lot of hard work and mana, but also consumes huge wealth. Many materials for making scrolls are quite expensive and even impossible to buy. After Nero became a great magician at a young age, forty years, endless hard work and countless wealth were used by him to satisfy his hobby of making scrolls.

The family's wealth shrank greatly. Although there is no decline now, it is far less prominent than before. Especially after Nero's disappearance, the Lington family did not have outstanding talents. Now it is just an ordinary aristocratic family. However, Nero himself made scrolls, but later it was no longer a loss of money. On the contrary, it became a means to accumulate huge wealth, because he became the best scroll making master in All Egg.

Of course, there is no need for Nero to do all the work of making the scrolls alone. He can mobilize the power of the city-state and the temple to complete the preparation and auxiliary work of various materials for him. In return, he also left some scrolls to the city-state and the temple. But on the other hand, he also made a large number of private scrolls, such as the three pieces "sent" to Amon.

These scrolls are priceless. Almost all the magicians on the continent are willing to buy them at a large amount of money, for fear that they can't buy them or Nero refuses to sell them. Only when people with a particularly good relationship ask for a visit, Nero will transfer some scrolls or promise to make them for the other party. Even after receiving the scrolls presented by Nero, the Aiju Academy spent a lot of money to customize a batch with him.

Nero set out secretly to chase Bell, but the situation was very urgent. In addition to the staff, all the things belonging to the temple were left behind, and a batch of personal belongings were also left behind. However, when the temple and descendants of the family counted the relics, they believed that Nero's personal belongings were obviously wrong, and some of the things they had with him should have been 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 are a little disappointed when they hear Rhode Dick's words, but they have no choice but to wait. Obama Lington hesitated for a moment and asked again: "This ring is a property of our family. Can I temporarily keep it on behalf of the family?"

Before Rhodes Dick could speak, Fayol Judas scolded, "The ring will be returned to you sooner or later, but the things inside have not been taken out and the will has not been read. Of course, it must be kept by the Lord of the City Lord! This is also the last words of Lord Nero. Why, do you not trust Lord of the City Lord?"

Obama Lington quickly explained: "No, there is no such thing. It is of course best to keep it by the city lord! I am just worried that the foreigner has been in his hands for a long time. Will the things inside have been taken out?"

The oldest priest shook his head and said, "The most wise magicians in the city-state are here, and none of us can open this ring. Can a hunter in the deep mountains open it?"

Rhode Dick added lightly: "This ring and this staff are unimaginable and valuable. Do they really want to take advantage of anything? Will they send it back to you?"

Obama Lington muttered, "Maybe it was because he couldn't open the ring and wanted my uncle's huge reward that he returned the relics. Are there three scrolls? Why didn't we see them? My uncle's last words clearly stated that one of them was more precious than the ring and staff! What else did he want?"

Rhode Dick explained: "Why do you have to worry about what he wants? Just follow the will, I will handle it fairly. I have asked about the scrolls. He was left behind when he escaped from the mountains. A hunter in the mountains may not know the preciousness of those scrolls."

Nero's youngest nephew Hillary Lington suddenly screamed: "What? He lost the most precious scroll left by my grandfather!"

Rod Dick finally showed an impatient expression: "That is his scroll, Lord Nero promised to pay, loss is just his own loss, it has nothing to do with you! ... The last words Amon saw did not introduce how precious those scrolls were. We only read the message in the staff."

This was an explanation, but it became a reminder. Hillary Lington suddenly remembered something and said excitedly: "Yes, it's just a message! The city lord ordered that the uncle's message should not be leaked, but who knows what the man named Amon saw in the cave?"

Rhode Dick waved his hand: "I have asked in detail. The message he saw was not anything to worry about, it was just some instructions from Lord Nero before his death."

Hillary Lington seemed to have grabbed some handle and leaned forward and said, "How can you believe these? Even if he saw them, he would not tell the city lord. Those words must not be allowed to be spread by a foreign countryman. I think he should be imprisoned and then decide what to do after he was asked clearly."

Rhodes Dick's face darkened, and Aristotle spoke first: "What a stupid and rude idea! Amon sent Lord Nero's precious relics more than 30 years ago, showing his noble and selfless character, and symbolizing the favor of the gods to the cape city-state. In the temple square, all the people cheered for this scene, and the people of the city were witnesses. If such a person does not receive sincere thanks and rewards, he would treat him rudely, which would be a huge harm to the city lord, the entire city-state, and the prestige of the gods!"

The sage's eyes were clear and sharp, and Hillary couldn't help but shudder. The Lord of Dick nodded slowly and said, "I do not allow anyone to do anything that damages the prestige of the city-state and the gods, so I do not allow anyone to hurt Amon in my city-state. Do you want me to just welcome the staff of the main priest from him and turn against you in a blink of an eye?"

When Rod Dick returned to the side hall where Amon was, he still looked full of spring breeze and asked him with a smile: "Amon, where do you live? I will send someone to pick up your luggage. You are now an important guest of the Cape City State. From today on, you will live in my lord's house. Lord Nero's relics need a great magician to take them out. At that time, I will give you the reward you deserve as promised and give you thanks from the city state. This will take a few days. Before that, I will receive and protect you well."

Amon: "I live in the inn and have no luggage, only a few old clothes and a sick cat."

Rhode Dick: "Please rest assured that everything will be best taken care of, including your cat, and if you need it, please tell the servants around you."
