When they inquired about the adult's entourage again, they found that amon was the one who returned Nero's staff in the Temple Square today. They could not help but take a breath of cold air. Amun is now a distinguished guest of the city. As long as he tells Lord Dick what happened in front of the mansion, they will be swept out of the house. They are trembling with fear. They want to ask Amun to apologize and plead with him in private. Unfortunately, they have no chance.

Thankfully, what the gatekeepers were worried about didn't happen. It seems that amon didn't mention what happened to Lord Dick when he came to the door. But the second housekeeper who was in charge of the guard room heard about it and called several gatekeepers at that time to scold them privately. They missed the great good thing that came to the door!

Amun lived in the Lord's house, and rod Dick arranged a separate courtyard for him. His food and clothing were all luxuries that Amun had never seen before. For the first time in his life, he had such luxury. But he did not see rod Dick again for several days. The Lord of the city has been busy recently.

Rod Dick didn't restrict Amun's freedom of movement. He could go in and out of the house by himself. But every time he went out, the housekeeper would send a carriage and a guard with him. This is not only a kind of protection but also a kind of surveillance. Now we can't let Amun go. Amun doesn't need to pay for things in the shop. He just takes what he wants to buy, and has his own account and payment.

When Amun bought a few funny things, he found out that he didn't buy any more. Anyway, he lived in the city Lord's house and lacked nothing. In this strange land, he received two gifts in succession.

The first gift was given by several gatekeepers when they went out. They made special snacks and wine from the shop. They wanted to apologize and asked amon not to complain. Amun didn't want anything from these people, but he accepted it with a smile, because he could detect the hearts of these people. If they didn't accept the gift, they would be frightened. If they did, they would feel relieved and grateful.

The second gift was from tashun lington, the second oldest nephew of Nero. On behalf of the lington family, the nobleman paid a visit in person and apologized for not receiving Amun in person these days. The things he sent were simple and practical: a hundred gold coins, two horses and a luxurious carriage, which could be used by common people without aristocratic decoration, and several sets of clothes and two beautiful young female slaves.

The clothes are very good. The coat, underwear, belt, pocket bag and boots are all complete sets. There is no aristocratic gorgeous clothing, but it is very comfortable and durable. It is very suitable for people who travel far away. The fine stitching and exquisite cutting are not available in general shops. Apart from the female slaves, Amun took all the other things and expressed his thanks happily.

Amun didn't know what happened in the temple that day, and * * had unfounded hostility to him, and Hillary even wanted to imprison him for interrogation. This tashun was a man of understanding. He sent the gift to the Lord's house for everyone to see. This also represents the respect and sincerity of the lington family. Although it was only his private behavior, it saved the face of the whole family.

Amun did not see rod dick for several days. He also asked his entourage what the city Lord was busy with. He learned that Julian, the eighth level magician of Memphis, visited.

He actually met "Acquaintances" here. Amun, the great magician, did not know him, but Julian was Bell's old friend. In the old Madman's message, there was a list telling Amun who he could go to for help if he encountered any trouble during his trip to the mainland. All of these people had been favored by Nietzsche or bell. The old Madman's Keepsake used to be Bell's, and Julian was on that list.

More than 30 years ago, Julian was a sixth level theologian, in charge of the archives of Isis temple. Bell often consulted various books and materials, so he got familiar with Julian and got some help from Julian. The relationship between them was very good. It is very difficult to cross the threshold from level 6 to level 7. Julian has received a lot of advice from bell, which is a rare favor.

When bell committed a crime and left Isis temple with Cong Ni, Julian was the first person to notice. He didn't stop him or warn him at the first time, probably because he had been favored by bell or knew he couldn't stop him. At that time, there were three teams to kill bell. Julian should have led the team from Memphis, but Julian found an excuse not to go. Instead, a high priest from the temple of Memphis led the team and went to the Cape city to join Nero in pursuit of bell.

It is necessary to introduce the temple of Isis. Like the temples of the city states, it also has three high priests in charge of various affairs. However, the main deity is the virgin, who has a detached status in the whole Egyptian empire. As the temple of Isis was in charge of the temples of the cities in Egypt, the high priesthood was very high and could be equal to the Lords of the cities. However, there were only three positions of high priest. Although bell was a great magician at that time, he was just an honorary high priest who did not have real power at the beginning. After he became the elder of eju theological academy, bell got a very high position.

The so-called "one radish and one pit" is precisely because the original high priest disappeared in pursuit of Bell and left a place. Later, Julian, who was promoted to be a great magician, successfully became the new high priest of Isis temple. In a sense, bell also indirectly helped Julian.Julian is mentioned in the old Madman's message, but it also reminds Amun that after so many years, people don't know. If you really need help in any trouble, you must find out the situation first.

Amun didn't want to ask Julian for help, but he was very interested in the great magician. He wanted to see how he took Nero's relic out of the space ring, so he waited patiently. He's not in a hurry, but the nephews of the lington family are in a hurry these days.

When Julian came to the promontory city-state, rod Dick did not mention Nero at the first time, but gave a grand welcome and hospitality. When Julian visited the temples of the city, he was just making an appearance. He received warm hospitality all the way, and received the generous gifts that the temples had prepared for a long time. Every place has its own characteristics. There are many entertainments that are not enjoyed in mengfeisi city. This kind of inspection is also a kind of rare job. The feeling of Lord Julian is very moist.

Lord Dick, the Lord of the city, was so enthusiastic that he accompanied him all the way and gave Julian the highest standard of courtesy. He didn't go home for several days and put aside all other affairs in the city temporarily. But on the way to accompany Julian on his inspection tour, rod Dick received a secret letter from his special envoy to Memphis City, explaining the background of Julian's visit, and the message from the Virgin Mary, who also asked rod Ke to keep Julian in the promontory city!

The reason is complicated. After more than 30 years, Isis Temple finally has a new saint. Most people are happy, but there are several people who are dissatisfied. First of all, the city master of mengfeisi, the capital of xiaeju. If there is no saint, everything in the city has the final say of the owner, but after the saint, there are important matters to be asked to the saint, and the personal rights of the City owners have been greatly weakened.

There may also be dissatisfaction with the three high priests in the temple of Isis, for the same reason. If there was no virgin, all the real power of Isis temple would continue to be controlled by the three of them. Meanwhile, they would also be in charge of the temples of the city states of eju. Julian was also one of the three high priests in power.

If there were no saints in Isis temple for a long time, the authority of controlling the affairs of Egypt would be weakened and shaken. Therefore, this situation can not last for a long time. 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 virgin was just a symbolic ornament, and everything else would remain in their charge. Mary was young and inexperienced. In her first year as a saint, she devoted herself to the cultivation of divinity and was familiar with the various conditions of Isis temple, so there was no conflict.

However, in her position and politics, Maria can not always be only a virtual saint who does not care about anything, nor can she be manipulated as a puppet forever. She was also gifted and intelligent, otherwise she would not have mastered "the power given by the gods" in such a short time in Duke town.

Recently, Maria has gradually begun to take charge of some temple affairs independently. It is urgent to change and rectify the past 30 years' habits. It happened that rod Dick sent people again and again, hoping to have a great magician guarding the promontory city-state. Mary took this opportunity to send Julian, the most greedy of the three high priests, to the promontory city-state for inspection.

It was a good job to inspect the city-state, and Julian came happily. But rod Dick's secret report said that in a few days' time, the virgin would send an order to Julian to stay in the promontory city for a year and supervise the affairs of the border temples. The order also reprimanded rod Dick, criticized the city Lord for various omissions in Temple affairs in the past few years, and asked him to accept the guidance and supervision of Lord Julian respectfully and modestly.

Although the Lord saint's orders reprimanded rod Dick, the city Lord secretly enjoyed the news. First send Julian to the promontory City, and then order him to stay, so that the high priest does not have a chance to object to his face. On the surface, the instructions of the virgin must be observed, which is not very clever but effective.

One year is enough for Maria to appoint new people to familiarize themselves with what Julian was in charge of. Even after Julian returns, everything is back on track. Roddick also has a year to familiarize and adapt Julian to the promontory city-state, looking for opportunities to ask him to stay.

Perhaps a year later, Mary will be able to take control of the situation, and will issue a formal order to directly appoint Julian as the chief divinity of the promontory City, and then select another confidant to fill the vacant high priest position. Rod Dick, who got the secret letter, was no longer in a hurry, but accompanied Julian on a happy tour.

They made a tour of the city's territory. A few days later, they returned to the main promontory city. Rod Dick was about to tell about Nero's remains, but Julian himself began to ask, "Lord, I have heard a thing mentioned by the magistrates these days. Thirty years ago, Nero, the best scroll maker in QUANE, was the chief apotheose here. Just a few days ago, there was one Why didn't you tell me about the return of Nero's staff and relics to the public

Many years ago, when the Lord of Rhodes came back, it was like clapping the Lord's hand to welcome you! It's a symbol of God's patronage of Lord Julian. "Julian didn't hear rod Dick's implication, but it was very useful. He laughed happily: "I heard that not only was there a staff, but Nero also left a legacy. What is it? I'm curious, too

Rod Dick said happily, "I'm looking for an opportunity to ask for your help, but I haven't been able to talk to you about your busy business these days. It's a shame that there is no great magician in the promontory city. None of us can open that space ring and take out the will and relic. Please do me a favor. "

Julian laughed and waved his hand. "It's just a little bit of a chore to talk about. I'm happy to help. Where is the space ring? Take it now. "

Rod Dick approached and whispered, "don't worry, my Lord. There's one more thing I want to tell you in private..." He whispered a few words to Julian.

Julian was surprised and said, "Oh, what else? Then quickly bring the staff, and we will go to the secret room of the temple. "

In the secret room of the temple, Julian read Nero's last words with his staff. His face was solemn and silent for a long time. He did not speak, nor did rod Dick. After a long time, Julian once again aroused the pupil of the earth and listened to the last words again from the beginning to the end. Then the information in the pupil of the earth gradually became weak, until it disappeared and was invisible, which had been obliterated by the great magician.

Julian solemnly said to rod Dick, "Nero's last words involve a lot of secrets. They must not be spread out. Who has read this message?"

Rod Dick leaned back and said, "they are all people who are related to them and deserve to be trusted. For Nero himself, for the city-state, for the temple of Isis, and for the honor and prestige of the whole Egyptian empire, I have strictly ordered that no one should be allowed to go abroad, otherwise they will be punished with the most severe punishment. Now that this message has been erased, even if someone says it, it will never be recognized. "

Julian asked again, "what about the stranger who returned the staff? What else does he know? Be careful with this man. "

Rod Dick explained: "he only saw Lord Nero's books left in the cave. He didn't mention the unpublished past. Now this man lives in my house and is under surveillance." After thinking about it, he added anxiously: "this man's act of sending back his staff and relics has been regarded as a symbol of God's favor and gift by the city-state people. Just before your arrival, it also symbolizes your honor. We should not be rude to this person, so we must express our due gratitude."

Julian shook his head with a smile and said, "Lord Dick is worried. I just want to meet this man and praise his noble and selfless conduct in person."

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

That night, rod Dick returned home for the first time in days. On that night, Julian lived in the room of the temple, which belonged to the LORD God, but lost sleep. Rod Dick didn't know that the great magician had his own worries and desires. The young stranger named Amun should be the only one in the world who saw the last remains of Nero. I thought that no one would find out the secret of the past more than 30 years ago. Julian did not know how many words Nero had left, and whether there was any mention of what happened between him and bell that year, which Julian was most worried about.

On the other hand, Nero said in his message that bell had told him that mortals can also be gods. It sounds unbelievable, but it has to be believed. What kind of temptation can make a level 9 magician leave the temple and become the enemy of the whole empire? And then the virgin Cong Ni was willing to go with him!

Maybe bell really knew something, and Nero was missing in the pursuit of bell. It should be the last person to see bell. Maybe he knew something. Dharma stick's message did not mention the relevant information. If there was such a content, it might be in his cave legacy, and even if the foreign youth saw it, he would not say it - no one would say it!

……

The next day, Amun came to the temple of the promontory city-state in the chariot of the Lord of the city. In a solemn hall in the back hall, all the people arrived. Lord Julian sat in the middle, with a ring on the round table in front of him. The high priest, the governors of the promontory temple, the nine nephews of the lington family, and amon were all gathered around the table, while Roddick sat beside Julian as a notary.

In front of an eight level master of divinity, Amun did not dare to use the detection divinity to explore, but just kept his eyes on the space ring. The result let him a little disappointed, and there was no great new discovery. Julian just picked up the ring, closed his eyes, and took out the contents with a slight shake of his hand, which was similar to that of Amon taking things from bones. He took out all the things in the ring at one time.

Amun sensed that the great magician was using high-level space magic, and his magic power was very strong. It seems that Nero's space ring is far less precious than Amun's bone, and that rib can barely be used by a third level magician who has just mastered space divinity.

Things are taken out of the space ring, and half of the table top is filled with a crash. All of them give a suppressed exclamation, and most of them stare and hold their breath. Nero's relic had only two kinds of things, various scrolls and a pile of scattered God stones. At a glance, it is estimated that there are more than 70 scrolls, nearly half of which are high-level divinity scrolls. There are hundreds of divine stones, including four dark blue water cores and two flame spirits.What an amazing fortune this is! The special divine stone is expensive enough, and the value of scroll is far more than the divine stone. Julian, as a great magician, naturally knew it very well and almost jumped up in surprise. But Hillary lington stroked her chest and nearly fainted. Her eyes were fixed on those blue water hearts and flame spirits.

But rod Dick was the most calm. With a slight cough, he reached out and took a paper roll between the scroll and the sacred stone from the table. After opening it, he looked at it and said, "this is Lord Nero's will, which says," read and notarized by Lord Dick, the Lord of the city. ". I didn't expect that it took so many years for us to see it. Thank Lord Nero for his trust. Let me read it today

Nero's will is very simple. It divides all the scrolls into five parts: two for the temple of the promontory City, which is his contribution to the main deity; two to the heirs of the family, hoping that the lington family will have excellent magicians to inherit his career; and the last one to the returnees, which is a tribute to the selfless noble conduct. The stone is divided into three parts, two for the lington family and one for the people who return the relics.

Nero's reward was really generous, but from another point of view, it should be. If the people who get the relics don't return them, they can keep them all by themselves. At the end of the will, it is also mentioned that the current Lord God of promontory will be lenient, and let the person who returns the staff check his personal records of the scroll he made and specify which one is which, which must be the purpose of the nameless gray scroll.

This is what Nero left in his message. He once said in his message that the gray scroll is more precious than the staff and ring combined, but only after returning the relics can we know how to use the scroll, that is, he is worried that the people who get the relics will not return them.

After the will was read out, rod Dick gave the paper to everyone in the room to pass it on to everyone. However, Amun didn't read it at all, because he had said in advance that he didn't know eju cursive script. ***-Lington lamented in his heart that the distribution of the will was too unfair. Amun, a stranger and lowly stranger, got more than every nephew of Nero.

But in front of all the people, he was not good at opposing it. So he pointed to the sacred stones and said, "I don't know the value of the scrolls, but the number of them is clear. There are 103 stones here. If they are divided into three parts, each of them will have one more. Amun, take thirty-five sacred stones and leave the blue and red ones

Rod Dick glanced at him with a slight frown and a scornful sneer at the corners of his mouth. Tashun lington said, "my cousin, don't you feel ashamed to talk like that? The value of the special stone is totally different from that of the ordinary stone. Everyone here knows it clearly. Since the uncle's will has been notarized by Lord Dick, how to distribute it should also be arbitrated by Lord Dick. "

Rod Dick didn't talk nonsense. He would not go to the inventory himself and ask Fayol Judas, the clerk, to stand up and calculate the total value of the stone on the spot. The value of all kinds of special god stones is also different. The most valuable one is the enchanting dance of the wind. Because it can make space utensils and the number is quite rare, its value is amazing. It is worth 500 ordinary sacred stones. The second is the pupil of the earth, which is worth 300 ordinary sacred stones. The fire spirit and the blue water heart in Nero's relics are worth 200 ordinary stones.

There are 97 ordinary sacred stones, four dark blue water cores and two flame elves, with a total value of 1297 sacred stones. If it is divided into three parts, each is 432 ordinary stone, and there is one more. After the clerk's liquidation, rod Dick first asked Amon, "how do you want this reward, generous and selfless stranger?"

Amun was also stunned. He didn't expect that Nero's relics were so valuable. He mainly valued the scrolls, but it was not easy to reveal them. After hearing the city Lord's question, he replied, "these colored stones are so valuable. I don't want to ask for more. It's enough to take a red one and a blue one. It's convenient to take them with you. Let's forget the change. Thank the servants in the Lord's house. Please give it to Mr. Dick. Thank them for taking good care of me during these days. "

Amun is simple and beautiful. He only needs a dark blue water heart and a flame spirit, and the reason is very reasonable - it's convenient to take it with him. No matter who is carrying more than 400 sacred stones on his body, it will not be very easy to drive. If it is changed into gold coins, a person can't take it at all. He has to use a carriage to pull it! Amun is very generous to give the remaining 32 God stones to the servants in the city Lord's house, which makes rod Dick very satisfied.

Amun took all the servants in the city Lord's house. It's hard for others to say anything against it. Tashun lington also took the initiative to say: "we lington family should also take out two small pieces, a total of 64 sacred stones, so that the Lord of the city can reward his staff and servants as a token of gratitude for the notarized will. The remaining 801 stones can be equally divided into nine parts, and each of us will take 89. "

Several of Nero's nephews secretly glared at tashun with dissatisfaction, but no one openly objected. The stone was thus divided and the scroll was distributed. Rod Dick said to Julian modestly, "my Lord, you are a great magician. You know the use and value of scrolls best. I don't have the ability to distinguish them so clearly. So please come to arbitration."Julian looked at the scrolls with a wistful look in his eyes, and said with a wry smile, "the value of scrolls is not as clear as the divine stone. Sometimes it can't be bought with money. In different occasions and hands of different people, its meaning is completely different. Since it is not easy to calculate, I think we should use the simplest method. There are 36 high-level scrolls and 38 intermediate scrolls, which are divided into five parts according to the number. The Lord of the city took the first two on behalf of the promontory temple, the lington family took the second, and the stranger Amun took the rest. As for the extra change, it is up to the city Lord to decide what to do with it. "
