Pivot of the Sky

Améng replied calmly: "Either the ambassador or the priest, I'm here to sue Antonio, and I'll go to court first."

Medanzo also said: "The gods of Olympus may come directly to the earth and appear in the priest court of Delphi."

A méng sneered: "They don't blame if they don't come! Did they do so many things, didn't they try to force me to turn their faces? But there is a **** who can't come!"

The **** that Améng said could not come naturally refers to Abo Luo. He had an agreement with Abo Luo. No matter where he came, Abo Luo must retreat. It is funny that this year's Delphi shrine was promulgated by the Temple of Aboro, and the courtroom of the Delphi Priest's Court is in the hall of the Temple of Aboro.

Delphi is a sacred place composed of various temples. Their court is different from ordinary city-state courts. They are composed of the principal priests of each temple. They mainly decide major theological matters and usually do not ignore the civil disputes of the city-states. However, the allegations made by Améng are related to the authenticity of Delphi's deities, and the civilian city-state court cannot rule, so they will come here.

Delphi is in a dangerous situation, but since ancient times, people have built a boulevard in the mountain that can accommodate two carriages staggering. The scenery is extremely beautiful and the scenery has an indescribable sacred atmosphere. It is indeed Heaton. Holy place on the peninsula. A méng saw the scattered temples on the mountainside from a distance. When they entered the boundary of Delphi, a group of priests were waiting at the intersection.

Someone came forward and asked, "Are you méng and Medanzo?"

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

A priest with a scepter said: "It is ready to wait for the court. According to Delphi's etiquette, non-temple priests cannot ride in horses and carts. From here you need to walk."

A méng jumped out of the car and waved at Medanzo: "Get off the horse and go!"

...

In the hall of the Temple of Delfia Boro, a court composed of temple priests has been prepared. This court has no seats and jurors are standing on both sides. The trial judge in the middle is a priestess from the Temple of Themis. She Those who have accepted Aesop's Golden Sacrifice.

But today the priestess covered her eyes with a black cloth méng, holding a small scale in her hand, and placed a sharp sword at her feet. Améng recognized her when she saw her. She was the goddess of fairness and justice Themis the Olympus, but only in the face of the priestess.

In this trial, Améng was in the name of accusing Delphi's messenger Antonio, but actually aimed at the gods of Olympus, such as Abo Luo. I am afraid that no one is more suitable as the arbiter of the judge except this goddess. Améng noticed that the balance of Themisna had actually come from his hands!

This object was first an artifact created by the goddess Osiris of the Nine United Gods, and it was the center of Osiris Hades. Later, Améng and Artemis captured the Hades of Osiris. Osiris left, and this object was A méng renamed the trial balance. The trial balance was taken away by Artemis as a "trophy" and said to be transferred to a goddess related to Améng among the gods of Olympus. It turned out that she was given to Themis.

It wasn't until Améng saw the goddess of fairness and justice, Themis, in Macedonia, that he understood what the goddess had to do with himself. According to the explanation of Xianjia Jumang, Themis once re-entered the samsara in his own deity, came to the world to become the flower of Morpheus, and later became the disciple of his disciple John, but also the disciple of Améng, this couple Unfortunately, both were killed on the battlefield.

At this moment, Themis not only closed her eyes, but also purposely covered her eyes with a black cloth méng, which showed her attitude and would not bother the identities of the prosecution and the defense. Now that Themis appeared here, other gods in the Olympus deities might not be able to mingle in the courtroom, and Améng ignored them.

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

Portia is the name of the priestess in the Temple of Delphi Themis. In fact, her méng eyes and the trial balance in hand have already shown that she is the goddess of justice and justice, but since she appears here as Portia, Then call yourself Portia and not a goddess. Just like what Améng did in the Midurian city court, everyone guessed that he was God Améng, but Améng did not claim to be a **** himself.

Themis's opening remarks were simple and clear, and there was no unnecessary nonsense. The trial started like this, and Antonio had already arrived in the court, standing on either side of the hall with Améng left and right. Améng saluted to the presiding judge and the judges. Themis opened the door and said, "Améng, do you want to sue Antonio for pretending to be a deity? But everyone here can prove that this year's Delphi shrine is indeed like that. Content, Antonio did not lie. "

Améng nodded: "I also heard about Delphi's oracle. I just want to know why Antonio believes that the person mentioned in the oracle is Aesop? If he does not have conclusive evidence, it is murder! If the person mentioned in the shrine is Aesop, then I want to ask the deity who lowered the shrine, why does he think so? "

Antonio replied: "I made this judgment based on Aesop's behavior. All the city-state's messengers dedicated their gifts to the temples. Only Aesop brought the gold back to Midoli. I chased This clue went to Midori, and it happened that he was being scolded by people. I investigated his previous behavior and found that he was indeed a profane and offensive person. "

Améng confronted each other: "I also investigated Aesop's previous behavior and even made clear what he did in his life. He did not believe in the gods of Olympus and never offered to sacrifice to the city-state temple. This is a fact. However, he did not deny the beliefs of the people of the city. Although he had refused to ask the gods and youhuo, this is definitely not blasphemy and offense. This is also true. "

Antonio asked in return: "Améng, the man Delphin said was the messenger of a certain city-state. Who else would you say besides Aesop? You do n’t think it ’s profanity or offense, but the gods here may not be so think."

At this time, the court official said, "I remind the prosecution and the defendant that you are arguing about an issue that cannot be ruled by the court. Who this person mentioned in the Delphi shrine this year is only clear to the deity who proclaimed it. For a more impartial decision, I suggest that the plaintiff pray here to the deities and ask the deities to answer. "

Today's court is really lively. The official is also a priest here, but as soon as he speaks, Améng recognizes that the man was actually dressed by 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 deities, you should salute to the **** Voldemort. Both hands, xiong mouth, and forehead must be affixed to the ground, and proéng asked the chief judge:" It must be like this. Do it? "

The trial judge answered blankly: "It must be done when requesting the oracle. This is Delphi's etiquette."

Mei Danzuo's eyebrows froze behind Améng, but was stopped by Améng in Linghun. Just listen to the Lord of Heaven saying, "Well, I'll ask the deity first to explain. If the **** can't answer, then still ask the court to make a decision .... Lord Master, please go aside Let's. "

The Chief Inquisitor flashed aside with interest, and Améng went to the center of the hall and knelt down on the statue of Abo Luo on the altar in the distance. As soon as his knees touched the ground, he heard a click, and the twin tui of the statue of Abo Luo even cracked. A méng ignored this amazing change, still bowing to the ground, his hands, forehead, and xiong mouth all touched the ground, and worshiped the statue of Abo Luo pro éng, and the idol on the altar fell head-on and fell on the ground. It was torn apart, and it looked as if he was giving a gift in return to A méng. This kind of thing that happened in the temple must be fried in the usual time, but at this moment only caused a slight movement, and then calmness was restored. Most of the priests in the temple really were gods guided by the gods, and there were gods mixed in them to stop people's confusion in time.

Wherever méng goes, Abo Luo must retreat, which is an agreement between the two gods. Since Améng came to the Temple of Aboro in Delphi, it was impossible for Aboro to drop the shrine. Améng salutes Voldemort, the statue of Abo Luo. This worship worshipped the idol. Although it was beyond the expectations of mortals, the deities should understand what was going on.

Since the Delphi oracle brought Améng in, Améng couldn't afford to save his face. After saluting, he stood up and patted his robe. He calmly walked back to his original position, and pointed at the idol that collapsed on the altar. "Master, it is obvious that the deity who proclaimed Delphi shrine has refused to answer. This Mr. Antonio may have to answer for himself, no matter what he uses, he must provide evidence of Aesop's offense and blasphemy. "

Antonio's face was so ugly, he was a godsman under the guidance of Abo Luo, and at this moment the idol of Abo Luo fell in the temple. It was the **** who threw him out to face the question of Améng alone, he had to A: "As a messenger of the Midurian city-state, Aesop did not dedicate all the gold to the temples, but brought it back."

Améng said: "Everyone knows that Aesop did not believe in the gods of Olympus, this is not the reason to execute him. Aesop came to Delphi because of the **** of Hermes, and Hermes asked him Dedicating gold to a temple that is willing to dedicate and worthy to dedicate. He spent ten days in Delphi and only saw such a priest who was worthy of his devotion. He did not violate the oracle and himself. belief."

Antonio yelled, "But he angered all the priests in Delphi!"

A méngyin nodded calmly: "Yes, this is the fact and the key to the problem. You are the messenger on behalf of Delphi who has deprived him of his life in order to vent his anger. As the owner of Aesop, I came to ask you Repay what I lost. "

The Chief Inquisitor reminded him, "Améng, you are just a foreigner and you have no right to change the ruling of the Midoli court."

Améng replied: "But I have the right to claim the compensation I deserve. Antonio accused Aesop, but here cannot prove the reasons for the charges, even the gods refused to answer. It is this adult Antonio in the Midurs court It declared, 'In the name of the gods, I deprived Aesop's life and took away this evil spirit hun. The oracle has given guidance, he is the one who desecrates and offends the gods, and accepts what he deserves here today. Punishment. 'Then he needs to pay for his words and actions. "

The official asked: "Améng, what price do you want Antonio to pay? Your request to him must not exceed your own loss. And the people in the court are very clear that Antonio did not take away Aesop's spirit hun."

Améng also said: "Iso is my slave. I released him. This is not only my kindness, but also the reward he deserves. But Antonio took his life, and I need him to replace Aiso to compensate me. . "

At this time, another priest said, "This is not the problem. We have slaves here. You have lost a slave. We can compensate you for two or even ten. You can choose the slaves in the entire Holy Land Delphi."

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 has exerted his abilities, he can build a city-state on the plains of nothing. All slaves are inferior to him in my eyes. I don't need such compensation. "

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

A méng: "Ten **** stones and one finger, ten **** stones were the price I paid for Aesop from Siou, not Aesop's own value, but I do not want to embarrass and blackmail you. As for that one The fingers are a symbol of Aesop's talent and creation, and he owes me. You can check it. You can't refuse this request. "

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

A méng: "Of course it is your own finger, not someone else who deprived Aesop's life in the name of the god, but you."

The Chief Inquisitor said, "Améng, why not show your kindness? You can make a more gentle request to please everyone. Maybe you can ask for all the gold contributed by Midoli as compensation for you. , I think this court can agree with this ruling. "

Améng shook his head and said, "Those gold is useless to me, only to the Delphi priests, so let them keep it. I only need ten **** stones and one finger of Antonio!"

The Attorney also reminded: "Your identity is very clear to this court. You should also be aware that Aesop's life is about to come to an end, and whether he will be executed by Midoli's court, he will not live until next year."

Améng shook his head again: "It has nothing to do with whether he should be executed. Even if he drinks the glass of poisonous wine at the last second of his life, Antonio is also a murderer."

Inquisitor: "It's not good for you."

Améng: "This lawsuit itself is not good for me either. I am not here for the benefit."

Chief Inquisitor: "Why are you so cold? Wouldn't it be better to accept more compensation than a useless finger?"

Améng asked in return: "Antonio was kind to Aesop in the court of Midori. Dear Master, would you be bitten twice by a snake? Have you heard of the story of the farmer and the snake? This is the story Aesop told, and I don't care to forgive those who shouldn't be condoned. "

The chief judge also reminded: "You have no compassion for Antonio now. How can you expect the gods to be merciful to you in the future?"

Améng replied: "Master, this has nothing to do with you! Antonio has no compassion towards Aesop. How can I expect me to be merciful to him at this moment? He is a scapegoat in the flock and should have long been With that in mind, why don't you blame the man who grazed the herd? "

The official said suddenly, "Améng, turned over the main peak of the mountain where Delphi was located, and there was a Pythagoras manor at the foot of the other mountain. The owner there said that Pythagoras could reincarnate. My own origins, but the reincarnation marks in the depths of Linghun. Was it a fierce jackal in your past life? Come here and finally show his fangs? "

The Chief Inquisitor also sighed, "Oh cruel people, what else is harder than your soul in the world? No matter what kind of magic weapon is not as sharp as your hatred, can't any kind of plea move you? ?"

A méng: "The story of the wolf is the one Aesop once said. In this court, no matter how gentle the words are, it is impossible to impress me. Master, can you make a ruling? I Ten **** stones were dedicated to this temple, but that finger, I must cut it off! "

The chief judge looked at Antonio and said, "This court will make a ruling. May I ask what else you can say?"

Antonio replied: "I believe the court's decision must be fair, and I ask the gods for blessings."

There was more than one deity standing in this hall, and if they all blessed Antonio in secret, it was not easy for Améng to cut off one of his fingers. The trial judge said blankly: "I made a ruling that Antonio did not have evidence to prove that Aesop was the person named in the shrine. His complaint against Aesop caused Mr. Améng's loss, It should be compensated. "

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

This sentence is not a public reveal of Themis's identity, but the highest praise of the judges on the Heaton Peninsula, but Medanzo said on this occasion, it seemed a little funny. The pseudonym Themis, himself, said coldly: "Améng, I also want to remind you that Antonio owes you only one finger, you can't ask for more!" Ro! .
