Chapter 004: I Want To Find Someone ()

The square was quiet for a while, and Aristotle's words were finally summarized by the old lunatic— "God has proved that Amon has been blessed and blessed, and learning skills is the manifestation of miracles. "It's hard to refute, unless someone stands up and yells," The artisanal skills passed down from generation to generation in Duke Town need no blessing from the patron saint. "Who dares to say so, everyone here has believed in the patron saint of God for many years No doubt, it has been implanted in the soul.

Even if there are skeptics, they can only confuse themselves and regret in doubt, because once they say it, they will be abandoned by everyone around them. So this is not a question of whether you are willing to believe, but you must express your piety, which is also protecting yourself.

Seeing no one talking, the old lunatic turned his head and rushed to Aristotle, "This gentleman, your argument just now contains many dangerous assumptions. I wonder if you realize it?"

Aristotle saw Nietzsche's eyes, but the old man's gaze had a playful sneer. Only Aristotle himself knew that if his syllogism was changed to a major premise, he would indeed draw dangerous conclusions. For example, this child did not receive the grace of the patron saint, and he has learned the skills of miners, it means that learning the skills of miners does not require the grace of the patron saints.

The onlookers felt that something was wrong, but couldn't figure out what was wrong, which was why. No one dares to deny the oracle, because that is the starting point of everything, it must be the major premise, but when the old lunatic asked Aristotle, he was obviously suggesting something.

Amon was standing stubbornly. At this moment, the body shivered involuntarily. He turned to look at Aristotle with a grateful look, and looked at the old lunatic puzzledly. Unlike others, Amon apparently heard the voice of the old lunatic. Nietzsche was not only asking Aristotle back, but the words seemed to remind him.

Amon's twitching was no less than when Xiao Gu was forced to interrogate, many thoughts flashed through his mind. This debate contained many assumptions that could not be believed and could not be spoken, such as: Goddess Mu Yun did not Existence, the goddess Mu Yun exists but does not pay attention to it at all, learn miner skills without using the blessing of the patron saint, if the blessing is needed, it may be another **** ... and so on.

Amon's face flushed, as if he was drunk, and his expression was a little embarrassing. For the son of this miner, it was really indigestible to think of so much at once. Today, he is the party involved in this incident and has to think about it.

Aristotle seemed to understand Nietzsche's sneer and smiled with his hand on his chest. "I have no disrespect for any deities. The devotion to the gods comes from what we want, not what we want. People should be religious, but The existence of God is not transferred by someone's will. "

He cleverly avoided this questioning, and the old lunatic did not continue to entangle, but turned around and calmed down, and said coldly, "There is only one explanation for this, and that is your priest, yours. The behavior is detrimental to the glory of the goddess Mu Yun. The goddess has not blessed Amen through your priest. We all know that the glory of the goddess is eternal, but the loyalty of the priest has to be tested .... Lord Mayor, you see , Now that everyone is here, what shall we do with this priest? "

Xiao Gu's face brushed pale, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his legs trembled a little. He never expected that the situation would turn so drastic. The person facing the blame turned out to be himself. The words of the old lunatic clearly questioned whether he was still qualified to continue as a priest. He clearly read two words from the eyes of the old lunatic-cold!

But the mayor of Dashti, on the one hand, kept silent, watching the excitement with so cold eyes.

Xiao Gu's days of staying high in Duke Township have passed for too long, and he gradually forgot how he took the seat in the earliest time. At the beginning, everything was helped by the old lunatic. The old lunatic said: "You are a very simple person and very clever. More importantly, your humanity in the world is very real. There is no other person in this town who is more suitable to be a priest and clerk in the temple than you. "

However, Xiao Gu has been sitting in this seat for a long time, and gradually became noble adults in the city-state. He even had secret ambitions about the position of the mayor of Dashti, but ignored the old lunatics who had never been exposed for years. The old madman was so sharp when he didn't say crazy words. Was he trying to ruin his future in public? Just like helping him sit in this seat?

Xiao Gu took a step back and clawed his head vocally: "Oh, Mr. Nietzsche, it seems that this is a complete misunderstanding. I don't know that you have received the great Goddess Mu Yun's instructions in your dreams, although this is rare , But it has not happened. In the book of God, when there was no temple in Duke, it was the goddess Mu Yun who blessed the earliest craftsmen in the town and taught us the skills passed down from generation to generation .... Amon He is a child who is cared for by the goddess. "

Xiao Gu anxious to throw out the divine book, which is also a legend of Duke Town since ancient times, explaining the origin of the craftsmanship here. Later, people built magnificent temples based on such legends, which were many, many years ago Something happened. Now it's not important whether to deal with Amon, Xiao Gu must first protect himself.

The mayor of Dashty finally spoke aside, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the Book of God does have such records .... Mr. Aristotle, you said that you were here to do something for Lord Dick. What's the matter? Don't be delayed by our quarrel. "

The Lord Mayor apparently wanted to interrupt, Aristotle replied, "Miss Maria, no, Lord Maria is unwell, and the servant who served her happens to be sick. You need to find a servant to serve Mary in the town. Lord Leah, this person needs to be able to do heavy work, about three days. "

Dusty was a little puzzled, and he said that Roddick had so many followers in his heart. Why did he need to find a servant in town? But he was very interested and didn't say much. He asked gently, "What kind of person do you need?"

Aristotle seemed to carelessly glance at Amon and said without delay: "First, it cannot be a woman who has had a man; second, it cannot be an adult man; third, it is on his hair. There must be no ash, no mud in the nails. "

"Fourth, he must have a pure heart; fifth, he must receive the care and recognition of the goddess Isis." Aristotle had just finished speaking, and the old maniac added two more, and today his words Looks particularly much.

Aristotle froze slightly, then nodded with a bitter smile: "Yes, there are two more, is there such a person in the town? If so, the reward is a gold coin a day, Lord Dick's generous order People admire. "

When Dusty heard Aristotle's three conditions, he understood that if Maria's former servant was sick, it was really difficult for Master Dick's followers to find such a person. These were actually Gabriel's request. When she got the tears of the gods, she asked Mary to live and live according to the standard of the virgin, because she would soon become a true virgin.

Gabriel mentioned five conditions, but Aristotle only said the first three, because for the residents of Duque, the latter two conditions are the same if they are not said, and they are afraid that anyone will find them. Unexpectedly, the old lunatic unexpectedly supplemented it.

The residents of Duke Town usually deal with fires and ore. In recent days, the mayor has ordered to pay all the arrears of taxes this season, and a large caravan came to the town. Everyone started the fire without stopping, or In order to pay taxes, or in order to mine God Stone in time for more goods.

It is too difficult to find a person who has no gray hair and no mud in the nails. There are only three in the whole square: Dusty, Xiao Gu, and Amon. Amon was very clean. He had just taken a bath in the cold spring at night, and even washed his clothes. Then he dried in the early morning sun and got dressed before returning to town.

The old lunatic smiled: "It's lucky. We have one and only one person who meets the conditions you said. He is a child and not yet an adult, and you also know why he is standing here because of the care of the goddess Isis .... Amen, go with this gentleman .... This gentleman, please pay his father three gold coins. "

The mayor also came down the steps and patted Amon's shoulder very rarely: "Child, go with this gentleman, everything is done according to his instructions, do not neglect the most distinguished guest in this town . "

The crowd separated a path, and Aristotle took Amon away. Before Amon left, he also helped his father who was kneeling on the ground. The old lunatic whispered quietly in his ear: "Relax, only good things are not bad things, you don't have to worry about here anymore."

After Amon left, the crowd did not disperse. The old lunatic still stood in front of the mayor of the town: "The temple priests proved that Amon was not at fault with the ancient scriptures, but was blessed by the goddess Mu Yun. But also It just proved that the priest had forgotten the sign of the divine book and was blinded by the soul. If it were not for our distinguished guest to remind, Lord Xiao Gu would cut off one of his fingers. Lord Mayor, Mr. High Priest, what should I do? What about? "

Xiao Gu's cold sweat that had just dried in the air flowed down again. I didn't expect that the old lunatic was so fierce today. If he bit this problem and let it go to the ears of the priests in the main temple of the city-state, he would be uncomfortable. Aunt Xiao stepped forward with an almost begging voice and said, "I was negligent. I have never encountered such a thing since I became a priest. Thank you, Mr. Nietzsche, the elder, for reminding me that I am willing to atone for my reckless behavior. Apologize to Amon here. "

When the noble priest came down the steps, he bent down and patted the dust on Amon's father's knees, and the townspeople's eyes widened. This frightened Amon's father, and quickly stepped back and said, "Master Xiao Gu, you don't have to do this. What to do is an adult thing, a sign of a goddess. I believe in the great Goddess Mu Yun. Bless Amon. "

The old lunatic sneered, "You can't refuse the kindness of such a noble priest, how kind and generous he is! He wants to compensate you, you must accept it .... Lord Mayor, I suggest their family this year Let Xiao Gu pay the taxes for you. "

Xiao Gu has stood upright and nodded immediately: "Okay, no problem!" His tone is very generous, because the godstones mined by the old alcoholic in a year are almost the smallest in the town, usually they are basically taxed with four godstones That's it. But with a slightly frowned frown, he thought again that it was not only the old drunkards who could mine the **** stone now, Amon was obviously a good hand. If there were a lot of **** stones mined in the following year, he would have to pay for every ten. Nine taxes are a big expense.

But in this case, Xiao Gu had to agree.

The mayor of Dashty nodded and said, "Then things will pass. I will record the events in the name of the mayor of this town, but only for the record, and not report it to the city ’s temple as a blasphemy event. . Alright, it's okay here now, everyone is gone. "

This remark was equivalent to holding Xiao Gu's handle. The mayor of Dashti made a record and stated that he would not report it, but what he said could be reported. As a temple priest, Xiao Gu violated the deities. After a lot of detail there are witnesses. The mayor of Dashti also vaguely knows that Xiao Gu has deliberately made friends with the city-state in the past two years and has an idea of ​​the mayor's status, but this is not the time to tear his face. After all, things in the town are not more suitable for the time being. The person who came to help deal with it, took the opportunity to give him a proper warning.
