067, legacy

After inquiring with the master's entourage, they found out that the person who handed over Nero's staff in public in the Temple Square today was Amon, and he couldn't help but breathe a breath. Amon is now a distinguished guest of the city state. As long as he tells Lord Dick about his experience in front of the mansion, they will have to be swept out of the house. They are so scared that they trembled and want to apologize and plead for mercy in private, but unfortunately they have no chance.

Thank God, the things that several gatekeepers were worried about did not happen. It seemed that Amon did not mention the experience of visiting Lord Dick at all. However, the second butler in charge of the gatekeepers on duty heard about this and called the gatekeepers at that time to scold them privately - the great thing that came to the door made them missed!

Amon moved into the city lord's mansion, and Rhode Dick arranged a separate courtyard for him. All items were luxurious that Amon had never seen before. For the first time in his life, he had such a luxurious enjoyment. But he had not seen Rhode Dick again for several days. The city lord has been busy with official business recently.

Rhode Dick did not restrict Amon's freedom of movement. In addition to the inner house, he could enter and go out and meet customers by himself. However, every time he went out, the housekeeper would send a carriage and a guard to accompany him. This was both a kind of protection and a kind of surveillance. Now, Amon could not be allowed to leave. Amon did not need to pay to buy things in the store. He just took whatever he wanted to buy, and he would keep the accounts and pay the bills.

When Amon bought a few fun little things, he found this and consciously did not buy anything. He lived in the city lord's mansion anyway. However, he received two gifts in this strange foreign land.

The first gift was given by several gatekeepers when they went out, and they made their own special snacks and fine wine bought from the shop. They apologized and asked Amon not to complain. Amon didn't want anything from these people, but he still accepted them with a smile because he could sense the hearts of these people. Not accepting gifts would make them panic, but receiving them would make them feel relieved and grateful.

The second gift was sent by Nero's nephew Tash Hung Lington, the second-ranked middle-aged man. The nobleman came to visit in person, expressed his gratitude on behalf of the Lington family, and apologized for not receiving Amon in person in the past few days. The things he sent were simple and practical: hundreds of gold coins, two horses and an expensive carriage. The carriage removed the aristocratic decoration and allowed civilians to use, as well as several sets of clothes and two young and beautiful female slaves.

The clothes are very good. The outerwear, underwear, belt, waist bag, boots are all set. They are not as gorgeous as a nobleman, but they are very comfortable and durable. They are very suitable for people traveling far away. They look at the detailed stitches and exquisite cutting, and they can't be bought in ordinary shops. Amon accepted all other things except the female slaves, and he was very happy to express his gratitude.

Amon was not sure what happened in the temple that day. Obama had unreasonable hostility towards him, and Hillary even wanted to imprison him for interrogation. This Tashun was a wise man and sent the gift to the lord's mansion for everyone to see it. This also represents the respect and sincerity of the Lington family. Although it was just his personal behavior, it saved the face of the entire family.

Amon didn't see Rhode Dick for several days, and asked the entourage what the city lord was busy with, and learned that Meng Feisi's level 8 master Julian was visiting.

He actually met an "acquaintance" here again. The great magician Amon naturally didn't know him, but Julian was Bell's old friend. In the old madman's message, there was a list of people who could ask for help when he traveled to the mainland if he encountered any trouble and could go to see who could seek help. These people had received favors from Nietzsche or Bell. The old madman's token was once also Bell's token, and Julian was on the list.

More than 30 years ago, Julian was a Level 6 magician, responsible for managing the archives of the Temple of Isis. Bell often consulted various classics and materials, so he became familiar with Julian and received some help from Julian. The relationship between the two was very good. The promotion from a Level 6 magician to a Level 7 magician is the most difficult threshold for divine magic cultivation. Julian once received a lot of guidance from Bell, which is a very rare favor.

Later, when Bell made a mistake, he left the Temple of Isis with Cong Ni, the first person he noticed was Julian. He did not stop or warn him at the first time. It might be because he had received Bell's favor, or knew that he could not stop Bell. There were three teams chasing Bell that year. The team that set out from Meng Feisi should have been led by Julian, but Julian found an excuse not to go. It was led by a high priest from Meng Feisi Temple, and went to the Cape City State to meet with Nero to chase Bell.

We need to introduce the situation of the Temple of Isis. Like the temples of each city-state, it also has three high priests in charge of various affairs, but the main priest is a saint and has a transcendent status in the entire Eju Empire. Because the Temple of Isis ruled the temples of each city-state, the high priest had a high status and could be on par with the city-states of each city-state. However, there were only three high priests. Although Bell was a great magician at that time, he was just an honorary high priest who did not hold real power at the beginning. Only after becoming a veteran of the Eju Divinity Academy did Bell gain a high status.

The so-called carrot and pit is precisely because the high priest disappeared while chasing Bell, and a position was released, and later promoted to the great magician, Julian successfully became the new high priest of the Temple of Isis. In a sense, Bell was indirectly helping Julian.

The old madman mentioned Julian in his message, but also reminded Amon that so many years have passed, people are unaware of it. If they really encounter any trouble and want to find someone to help, they must first figure out the situation.

Amon had nothing to do for Julian, but he was very interested in this great magician and wanted to see with his own eyes how he took Nero's relics out of the space ring, so he waited patiently. He was not in a hurry, but the nephews of the Lington family were very anxious these days.

Julian came to the cape city-state, and Rod Dick did not mention Nero's affairs at the first time, but a grand welcome and a warm hospitality. Julian visited the temples to which the city-state belonged. In fact, it was just a gesture. He was warmly treated and received generous gifts prepared by the temples. Every place has its own characteristics, and many hospitality is not enjoyed in Mengfeisi City. This kind of inspection is also a rare beauty. Lord Julian feels very moist.

The city lord, Lord Dick, was so enthusiastic that he followed Julian all the way and gave Julian the highest standard of courtesy. He had not returned home for several days and temporarily put down other affairs in the city-state. But while accompanying Julian on the way out for inspection, Rod Dick received a secret letter from his special envoy to Mengfeisi City, explaining the background of Julian's inspection, and the oral message conveyed by the Saint-Maria also asked Rod Kick to try to keep Julian in the Cape City!

The reason is a bit complicated. After more than thirty years of the Isis Temple, it finally had a new saint. Most people were happy, but there were also a few people who were dissatisfied. First of all, the lord of Mengfeisi City, the capital of Xia Eju. If there were no saints, everything in Mengfeisi City was decided by the lord himself. However, after having a saint, he would ask the lord for advice on major matters, and the lord's personal rights were greatly weakened.

Another person who may be dissatisfied is the three high priests in the Temple of Isis. The reason is the same. Without the saint, all the real power of the Temple of Isis will be continued to be controlled by the three of them, and they can also control the temples of the city-states where the Eid residence belongs. Julian is also one of the three high priests in power.

There are also realistic contradictions in this situation. If there is no saint in the Temple of Isis for a long time, the authoritative status of governing the affairs of Eju will gradually be weakened and shaken. Therefore, this situation cannot continue for a long time, and a new saint must be selected.

But the three high priests did not want their real power to be weakened, so they hoped that the new saint would be just a symbolic decoration, and everything else would still be controlled by them. Maria was young and inexperienced. She devoted herself to practicing divine arts in the first year of becoming a saint and was familiar with the various situations in the Temple of Isis, so there was no conflict.

However, in her position and planning for the sake of her own affairs, Maria could not always be a saint who only cares about anything, nor could she be treated as a puppet forever. She was also extremely talented, otherwise she would not have mastered the "power given by the gods" in such a short time in Duke Town.

In recent times, Maria has gradually begun to independently manage some temple affairs, and changing and rectifying the old habits that have lasted for thirty years is the top priority. Rhodes Dick has repeatedly sent people to apply, hoping that a great magician could guard the Cape City State. Maria took this opportunity to send Julian, the three high priests who are the most greedy for power, to inspect the Cape City State.

The inspection of the city-state was a bad guy, and Julian came happily, but the secret report obtained by Rhode Dick mentioned that in a few days the Saint would have an order to be sent immediately, and Julian was ordered to stay in the cape city-state for a year to monitor the affairs of the border temple. The order also rebuked Rhode Dick, criticizing the city lord for his omissions in the affairs of the temple over the years he took office, and asked him to respectfully and humbly accept the guidance and supervision of Lord Julian.

Although the Saint rebuked Rhode Dick in the order, the city lord was secretly happy after hearing the news. He first sent Julian to the cape city-state, and then ordered him to stay so that the high priest would not have the opportunity to object in person. The Saint's decree must be followed on the surface. Although this move is not very clever, it is very effective.

One year was enough for Maria to appoint a new candidate to familiarize himself with what Julian was in charge. Even after Julian returned, everything had already returned to normal. Roddick also had a year to make Julian familiar with and adapt to the cape city-state, and find various opportunities to ask him to stay.

Maybe after a year, Maria will be able to control the situation and will give a formal order to directly appoint Julian as the main priest in the Cape City State, and then select the trustees to fill the position of the vacant high priest. Rhode Dick, who received the secret letter, is no longer anxious, but just accompany Julian to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

They inspected the city-state area and returned to the main city of the cape a few days later. Rhode Dick was about to tell the story of Nero's relics, but Julian asked himself: "Master, I have heard the priests mention something these days. Nero, the best scroll-making master in all Eves, was the main priest here thirty years ago. Just a few days ago, a foreigner returned Nero's staff and relics in public. Why didn't you mention this to me?"

Rhode Dick clapped his hands and said, "I was about to say that the staff of the Lord Priest, who had been lost for more than 30 years, returned to the city-state just the day before Lord Julian arrived, just like welcoming you, Lord! This is a symbol of the gods favoring Lord Julian."

Julian didn't hear the implicit sound of Rhode Dick, but this was very helpful. He smiled happily: "I heard that not only had a staff, but Nero also left his relics. What exactly was it? I was very curious."

Rhode Dick said happily, "I was just looking for an opportunity to ask for your help, but I have been busy with official business these days, so I have no courage to speak. To be ashamed, there is no great magician in the Cape City State, and none of us can open the space ring to take out the will and relics. I will bother you, Lord."

Julian smiled and waved his hand, "What a cumbersome thing to do, I'm happy to help. Where is the space ring? Get it now."

Rhode Dick leaned over and whispered, "Sir, don't worry, there is one more thing, I want to tell you privately..." He whispered a few words beside Julian.

Julian replied in surprise: "Oh, there is still this? Then bring the staff, let's go to the secret room of the temple."

In the secret room of the temple, Julian read Nero's last words with a staff in his hand, and his face was solemn and speechless for a long time. He didn't speak, and Rhode Dick didn't speak. After a long time, Julian once again inspired the Earth's Eyes and listened the last words again from beginning to end. Then the information in the Earth's Eyes gradually weakened until it disappeared and was wiped out by the great magician quietly.

Julian said to Rhode Dick very seriously: "Nero's last words involve many secrets and must not be circulated outside the world. I wonder who has read this message?"

Rhode Dick bowed and replied, "It is all related to it, and it is also trustworthy. For Nero himself, for the city-state, for the temple of Isis, and for the honor and prestige of the entire Eju Empire, I have strictly ordered everyone not to spread it, otherwise they will be punished the most severely. Now this message has been erased, and even if anyone says it, it will never be recognized."

Julian asked again: "Where is the foreigner who returned the staff? What else does he know? Be careful with this person."

Rod Dick explained: "He only saw Lord Nero's book in the cave, and did not mention those past events that were not suitable for disclosure. Now this person lives in my house, and is under surveillance in and out." After thinking about it, he added with great concern: "This person's move to send back his staff and relics has been regarded by the people of the city-state as a symbol of the favor and gift of the gods. Just before you arrive, this also symbolizes your glory. We are not rude to this person and must express our due gratitude."

Julian smiled and shook his head and said, "Lord Dick is too worried. I just want to meet this person and praise his noble and selfless character in person."

Rhode Dick: "You can see him tomorrow, and he will be there when you take out the relics and read the will."

That night, Rhode Dick returned home for the first time in a few days. That night, Julian lived in the room of the temple where the main priest had insomnia. Rhode Dick didn't know that the great magician had his own worries and desires. The young man named Amon should be the only person in the world who saw Nero's last ruins. I thought that no one would find out the secret past more than thirty years ago. Julian didn't know how many words Nero left, and did it mention what happened between him and Bell that year - this was what Julian was most worried about.

On the other hand, Nero said in the message that Bell had told him that mortals could also become gods. This sounded unbelievable but it had to be believed. What kind of temptation could make a level nine-level magician leave the temple and become the enemy of the entire empire? And the saint Cong Ni was willing to follow him!

Maybe Bell really knew something, and Nero disappeared while chasing Bell. He should be the last person to see Bell, and maybe he also knew something. The message of the Staff did not mention relevant information. If there was really such a content, it would be possible that the boy from the cave would not say it even if he saw it - no one would say it!

The next day, Amon came to the temple of the Cape City State in the carriage of Lord, and in a solemn hall in the apse, everyone was here. Lord Julian sat in the middle, and there was a ring on the round table in front of him. The high priests of the Cape City State State State, the chief officers of the Lington family, and the nine nephews of the Lington family, and Amon were all surrounded by the table, while Roddick sat beside Julian for notarization.

In front of an eighth-level master, Amon did not dare to use the detection technique to spy on the truth, but just stared at the space ring intently. As a result, he was a little disappointed and there was no extraordinary new discovery. Julian just picked up the ring and closed his eyes, and took out the things inside with a slight trembling hand. This was similar to Amon taking things from the bones. He took out everything in the ring at once.

Amon sensed that the great magician was using advanced space magic, and his magic power was very powerful. It seemed that Nero's space ring was far less precious than Amon's bone, and that rib could barely use that third-level magician who had just mastered the space magic.

The things were taken out of the space ring, and half of the tabletop was filled with a slam. Everyone let out a depressing amazement, and most of them widened their eyes and held their breath. Nero's relics were only two kinds of relics, various scrolls and a pile of scattered divine stones. Scandals at one glance, there were probably more than seventy scrolls, nearly half of which were advanced divine magic scrolls, and there were hundreds of divine stones, including four blue water hearts and two flame elves.

What an amazing wealth this is! The special divine stone is already expensive enough, and the value of the scroll is far greater than that of the divine stone. Julian, as a great magician, is naturally very clear in his heart, and almost jumped up in surprise. Hillary Lington stroked his chest and almost fainted, staring at the blue water heart and the flame elves with his eyes tightly.

Rhode Dick was the most calm. He coughed gently, reached out to pick up a scroll of paper mixed between the scroll and the divine stone from the table, opened it and looked at it, "This is Lord Nero's will, which says 'It is read out in public by Lord Lord Dick and notarized', which refers to my father. I didn't expect that it took so many years to see it. Thanks to Lord Nero for his trust, let me read it today."

Nero's will is very simple, and all the scrolls were divided into five parts: two left to the temple of the cape city-state, which was the contribution he should make as the master priest; two left to the heirs of the family, hoping that the Lington family could have an outstanding magician to inherit his career; the last one was given to the person who returned the relics, which was a thank you for the selfless and noble character. The divine stone was divided into three parts, two left to the Lington family, and one left to the person who returned the relics.

Nero's reward was really generous, but from another perspective, it was also worthwhile. If the person who received the relics did not return them, he could leave them all. At the end of the will, there was one thing that he wanted the current priest of the Cape City State to be able to be able to make peace and ask the person who returned the staff to check his private records of the scroll and specify which one article it was, which must be the purpose of the nameless gray scroll.

This is Nero's mind. In his message, he said that the gray scroll was more precious than the staff and ring combined, but only after returning the relics can we know how to use the scroll, because we are worried that the person who gets the relics will not return it.

After the will was read, Rhode Dick handed the scroll to everyone here, and let everyone pass it on and read it, but Amon didn't read it at all, because he had said in advance that he did not know Eju cursive script. Obama Lington lamented in his heart, thinking that the distribution of the will was too unfair. Amon, a disagreeer and lowly foreigner, actually got more things than every nephew of Nero.

But in front of everyone, he was not good at opposing it, so he pointed to the divine stones with a sudden inspiration and said, "I don't know very well about the value of the scroll, but the number of the divine stones is clear. There are a total of 103 pieces here. If it is divided into three pieces, each thirty-four pieces will be one more. Amon, just take away thirty-five divine stones and leave the blue and red ones."

Rhode Dick frowned slightly and glanced at him, and a contemptuous sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Tash Hung Lington said, "My cousin, don't you feel embarrassed to say this? The value of special divine stones and ordinary divine stones is completely different. Every adult here knows in his heart. Since my uncle's will is for notarization, how to distribute it should also be allowed to arbitrate."

Rhode Dick didn't say nonsense either. He would not go to take stock of the records himself, so that the clerk Fayol and Judas could stand up and calculate the total value of the divine stones on the spot. The value of various special divine stones is also different. The most valuable is Feng Zhiyu. Since it can make space objects and the number is quite rare, its value is shocking, worth five hundred ordinary divine stones. The second is the pupil of the earth, worth three hundred ordinary divine stones. The flame elves and the dark blue water heart in Nero's relics are worth two hundred ordinary divine stones.

Among the relics, there are ninety-seven ordinary divine stones, four blue water hearts, and two flame elves, with a total value of one,297 divine stones. If divided into three parts, each part will be 432 ordinary divine stones, and one more. After the clerk's liquidation was completed, Rhode Dick first asked Amon: "How do you want to get this reward for being a generous and selfless foreigner?"

Amon was also a little stunned. He didn't expect Nero's relics to be so expensive. He mainly valued the scrolls, but they were not easy to reveal. He heard the city lord's question and replied: "I don't want these colored divine stones so valuable. I don't want to take too much. It's enough to take a red one and a blue one. It's convenient to carry them on your body. Forget it, thank you to the servants in the city lord's mansion, please give it to him. Thank you for taking good care of me over the past few days."

Amon is both straightforward and beautiful. He only has a blue water heart and a flame elf. His reason is also very legitimate - it is convenient to carry it on his body. No matter who it is, it will not be easy to carry more than 400 divine stones on his body. If it is exchanged for gold coins, a person cannot handle it at all, so he has to use a carriage to pull it! Amon generously transferred the remaining thirty-two divine stones to the servants in the city lord's mansion, which made Rhode Dick very satisfied.

Amon took all the servants in the city lord's mansion, and it was hard for others to speak out. Tash Hung Lington also took the initiative to say: "Our Lington family should also take out double portions, totaling 64 divine stones, so that the city lord can reward the staff and servants around them as a thank you for the notarized will. The remaining 801 divine stones can be divided into nine portions, and each of us will get 89."

Several of Nero's nephews glared at Tas Hung in dissatisfaction, but no one publicly expressed their objections. The divine stones were divided into pieces and the scrolls were then assigned. Rod Dick said to Julian humbly: "Great Master, you are a great magician. You know the use and value of scrolls best. I don't have the ability to distinguish them as clearly, so please do arbitration."

Julian looked at the scrolls, with a look of desire in his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "The value of the scrolls is not as clear as the Divine Stone. Sometimes they can't be bought with money. In different occasions and in different people's hands, the meaning is completely different. Since it is not easy to calculate, I think it is the easiest way. Here are thirty-six high-level scrolls and thirty-eight intermediate scrolls, all divided into five parts by quantity. The Lord of the City Lord will take the first two parts on behalf of the Cape Temple, the Lington family will take two more, and the Outsider Amon will take the remaining one. As for the extra fraction, the Lord of the City Lord will decide what to do."
Chapter completed!
