Chapter 068: I Want Only One Thing

Rod Dick took a look at Julian and looked around: "I have a simpler way, whether it is a high-level scroll or a low-level scroll, it is calculated as thirty pieces, divided into five, then each is six. As for The extra fraction, even if given to our respected great magician Julian, thank you. If it wasn't for Lord Julian to open the ring, no one of us would get the relic, wouldn't anyone object?

He was so old-fashioned that he had seen that Julian wanted these scrolls. One mouth gave the great wizard six high-level scrolls and eight intermediate scrolls, and he took Julian's clothes for attention. Why not be generous to others? It is expected that the Linton family and Amon would not dare to oppose.

Amon naturally would not object, and whatever he got was an accidental gain, and the nephews of the Linton family dared not object. Rod Dick gave a final note, and the master divided the scrolls on the table into five parts, each of which consisted of six high-level scrolls and six intermediate-level scrolls, and handed the remaining "zero" to Julian.

Julian bloomed in his heart, thanked him, and accepted it with a smile. These scrolls are a rich legacy left by Nero, the Empire ’s best master scroll maker. Although the high priest Julian, who is the Temple of Isis, is very rich, the value of this batch of things is at least as high as his total of seven or eight years. With income, it is even more rare that you may not be able to buy it with money.

Rod Dick took two copies on behalf of the cape city-state, and ordered them to be collected; the nephews of the Lington family took two copies; Amon took the last one, and carefully put it in a pocket he brought with him. . Julian watched Amon's whispering in his heart. His first impression was that it was difficult to buy this foreign boy.

Although in the mind of this adult, almost everyone can price it with interest, but it seems too expensive to buy Amon, because this foreigner already has amazing wealth and does not seem greedy, otherwise Return that staff to the cape city-state. How do you deal with this person? Difficult to lure can only be intimidated, or try something else.

Julian hadn't spoken yet, but he heard Obama mumble: "Nine people, twenty-four scrolls, how do you divide them?"

Rod Dick replied with a smile: "This is not a problem. If you do n’t want to keep the scrolls and want money, I buy it in the name of Cape Sanctuary, and I also buy some privately. When you buy so many scrolls at once, the amount of money is amazing. Yes, I won't let you suffer, but you don't have to worry too much. "

Hilary said happily: "As long as the Lord of the City bids fairly, how can we account for it? It is convenient to exchange the scrolls for money."

However, Tashun shook his head and said, "I hope to keep some of my uncle's scrolls as a commemoration of the family. I am willing to buy some from my brothers for the same price as the Lord of the City, but I ca n’t afford so much for a while, I can only buy a few That's it. "

Rod Dick smiled: "I almost forgot that there are also two wizards in your brothers. Keeping the scrolls is of course useful. If anyone wants to buy the scrolls of their brothers, please bid first. These are the lingtons. I do n’t dispute family things. "

Tashun explained quickly: "No, no, no, how dare I bid in front of the Lord of the City. I will pay whatever the Lord of the City pays. Convert these scrolls into money, except for my own share. Just buy a few. "

As a result, Tashun paid a sum of money, leaving two high-level scrolls and three intermediate scrolls. The remaining scrolls were bought by Roddick, mostly in the name of the temple, and a small part in the private name. . Rod Dick is well aware that the value of these scrolls is not just money. They allow a low-level or middle-level magician to instantly perform intermediate and high-level magic, without consuming his own mana. If there is any conflict in the future, a large number of scrolls will be hoarded in the city-state, which will be an offensive and defensive weapon.

Julian looked at Rod Dick again, and secretly said that the master of the city was really quick. He immediately bought the scrolls of the Lington family and used the city-state wealth hidden in the temple. Is the city owner preparing for war? If one day the soldiers approach the city or the two armies confront each other, and send a group of magicians to carry out a sudden attack with a scroll, it will have an unexpected victory effect.

As soon as Julian thought, he thought of another possibility. Such a batch of reels is not easily encountered in normal times. The Rington family sold a lot at one time, and did not even carefully discern the usefulness of each type of reel, but only deal with it at the high and intermediate prices. Although Rod Dick paid a lot of money, the price obtained was also very cheap compared to other cases.

Rod Dick re-used his identity and relationship, consulted the scrolls made by Nero, and transferred them privately to the theologians in large city-states. The price they could sell was definitely much higher than the purchase price today. It's the way to make money! Julian became more and more admired, and more and more envious, a little sorry that she started late, and then she thought about Amon again.

After the scrolls were disposed of, Julian coughed and said, "There is one last item in Lord Nero's will, and the returnee can check one of his private notes, which is to make a record of a scroll. Amon, you want See? By the way, where is that scroll, have you taken it with you? "

Isn't this an unknown question, Amon said long ago that the three scrolls were lost and the mountains can't be found.

Amon looked up at Julian, suddenly suddenly aware that the great wizard looked at his eyes in an indescribable danger, like a rat staring at a cat. Amon "brought out" a special ability from the underworld, which can sense the change in the inner emotions of the person. Although he does not know the exact idea, he can also detect Julian's bad intentions.

He replied cautiously: "I have reported to the Lord of the City. Lord Nero did leave three scrolls alone, but I left in the mountains when I was out of danger and could not find it again. I did not read the record. , Anyway, I do n’t understand, and there ’s no need to look again. ”

Although he was curious to know the specific use of the gray nameless scroll, in this case he cut off his thoughts very simply. A civilian who does not have magic skills would not have used scrolls, and the scrolls have been lost. If he still wants to see the records written by Eju's scriptures, it is obviously doubtful. Here is a group of cats, and he is the mouse in the middle of the cats.

When the testament's notary, Rod Dick, saw that Amon said he did not want to read Nero's private notes anymore, he asked reluctantly, "Amon, Lord Nero's last wish has been fulfilled. Thank you for your actions. What do you want? "

Amon shook his head and said, "I have received too much. Lord Nero's gift is beyond imagination. How dare you expect more? I only ask Lord Lord for one thing."

Rod Dick: "Even if you say, as long as the owner of the city can do it, you will be satisfied."

Amon expressed a worried and somewhat embarrassed expression: "I know that the staff is very valuable, but I did not expect that Lord Nero's relics are so precious! Don't hide my lords, when I came, I carefully took the staff Hide well, I dare not let people know. Now that I have so much money and valuables on my body, I am a bit worried. Can you adults leave me safely from Cape City? "

It was a bit rude to ask this in public, but it was normal for an unaccompanied foreigner to have this concern. Rod Dick's face sank slightly: "What is this, this city-state should thank you, will it still embarrass you? Master Nero's will has been executed. You can leave at any time if you want to leave. Don't worry. If so, I can **** you. "

Amon smiled like a child: "Thank you Lord Lord, all I want is you! Guard escorts are not necessary, and the city-state under Lord Dick is the safest place. I want to leave today, wait When I return to my hometown, I am the richest person in the area! "

Amon said that he was leaving, and Rod Dick had already spoken in public, and it was not good to take it back. A foreigner suddenly acquired an amazing fortune in a strange city-state, and his eagerness to rush home was understandable. Julian had wanted to find an excuse to hold Amon down, but he did not expect Amon to make such a request in public.

The great magician turned his eyes and smiled and said, "Amon, your noble and selfless conduct should be praised and praised. I want to ask you a few words in private, can you?"

Amon made him smile tingly, but he nodded and said, "Of course, my lord, if you have any questions, please ask."

Julian took him into a quiet room, and opened the door to see the mountain road: "Amon, I am very interested in Lord Nero's testament in the cave and the scroll you lost in the deep mountains. You can take the specific place and process as much as possible Tell me in detail? "

If Amon was completely made up, many flaws will inevitably be exposed in front of this savvy great wizard. But this experience was not written by Amon himself, but a recount of the old lunatic's story and a section of Nero's last words, which he said calmly from beginning to end.

After speaking, Julian ordered him to bring him a piece of paper and pen, so that Amon could write down the handwriting he saw in the cave as much as possible. Amon wrote it again without revealing anything that shouldn't be disclosed. Julian asked Amon to draw a map and asked him how to get back to that place?

Amon explained: "There are no roads in many places in the deep mountains, and the terrain is complicated. It is almost impossible to accurately remember them. I will try to show you."

He really drew a picture, which is a hint of the deep mountains and jungles of the Youdi River Valley. The terrain is quite complicated. I am afraid that the strokes are a little bit far away, and it is almost impossible to find an accurate place based on this picture. But a deep mountain hunter can draw it well, he handed this sketch to Julian respectfully.

Julian was still very uneasy, and suddenly asked, "Isn't Bell mentioned in Nero's last words?"

Amon looked up and asked, "Who is Bell?"

Julian shook his head: "You don't know who this person is, forget about the deities in his last words?" In fact, what he wanted to ask was the secrets of the deities, but it was not easy to speak directly.

Amon asked curiously, "No, the messages I saw were already written to you just now."

Julian frowned: "Nero, as the city's chief priest, how could the last words of death not mention the gods, Amon, did you hide anything? As long as you say it, I won't blame you!"

Amon scratched his head: "How can I know this? I'm just a hunter in the mountains, you must know more than me."

Julian stared at Amon, his eyes seemingly trying to see through the teenager. Amon suddenly found that he could not sense the emotion of the great magician. He must be in a state of magical meditation, converging the information sent by the body and mind. Julian's magic is much better than Amon's. In front of him, Amon's special ability has lost its effect.

This discovery made Amon more vigilant, and determined that the great divinity was suspicious of himself and had made another attempt. The old lunatic mentioned Julian in his message, and said that Julian had been favored by Bell. If he had any trouble, he could take out the token and ask him for help, but he must first understand the situation. In this situation, Amon did not dare to take out the token, but feared that Julian would be aware that he had a relationship with Bell.

Julian watched Amon and smiled suddenly, "You are just a hunter in the mountains. Today, getting those scrolls is of no use to you. It can neither eat nor open. But it is very useful for a wizard like me. I If you are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, you can sell it to me at the price just paid by the owner of Dick City. "

Amon didn't want to agree or refuse it. The hunters in the mountains did not have much use for the scrolls. But on the other hand, scrolls were not only scrolls, they were also very valuable! He thought for a moment, and replied with a blink of his eyes, "Dear Great Master, in my hometown, if you buy anything, it is more expensive to buy one at a time than to buy a lot, the more expensive the more it is. The **** stone cannot be eaten or opened, but it is money, and the scroll is also money.

You said, if you go to a big place with many magicians, and slowly sell these scrolls in batches, can you sell them for more? I'm not short of money anyway, so I'm not in a hurry. Is it better to do this? I know you are a very noble person, please tell me this ignorant hunter, am I right? "

Julian sighed in her heart, this Amon looks simple, but not stupid at all! He was already quite certain that Amon must have concealed something and needed to be carefully interrogated. Even if he was tortured severely, he must draw valuable clues from the young man's mouth. If Amon knew what he had done with Bell then, even if it was possible, he couldn't stay in the world!

Since Amon asked this, Julian really couldn't say that he was wrong. He only laughed and said, "Amon, you are very smart, you are more rare to be honest and unselfish, and you are indeed a good child to be praised. I just heard you say that you are leaving today , I wish you all the best, and the gods will bless you! "

While speaking these words, Julian had already decided that it would not be good to open Amon in public, but after Amon left the city, he would be intercepted and interrogated in a half-way nowhere. Because the matter he wanted to ask was so important, the great wizard wanted to do it himself. Anyway, his inspection of the cape city-state is over, and he will leave tomorrow, and do something on the way, no one can ask.

Even if riding a fast horse, it will take several days to leave the city of the cape city. Amon can't escape the palm of his great wizard, and will use all means to torture everything, no matter what is asked, Amon must not stay.

With so much thought, Julian was going to take Amon back to the lobby to say a few words of encouragement and praise. Suddenly I heard someone outside yelling loudly: "Master Julian, the latest sign of the maiden was sent to the cape city-state, for you and Lord Dick! "

Julian was taken aback. He had completed the inspection mission and would return tomorrow. Why did the young Virgin Mary give the latest order just now? Is there any major change? He quickly tidy up his coat and went to the main hall to greet the maiden's sign, and the Dick Lord led the city-state and the temple officials to respectfully prepare.

The order of the maiden, Rhodes Dick, had known the situation, and euphemistically rebuked the young city lord for his deficiencies in dealing with the temple affairs. And supervise the affairs of the temple here.

This order greatly exceeded Julian's expectations. Today, I just got a lot of precious scrolls in the cape city-state, but when I was in a good mood, I suddenly felt like a sap. The order has been formally issued. Naturally, he can't openly disobey. He doesn't want to stay in the cape city for one year. He is also afraid of night long dreams far away from the temple of Isis. It seems that he can only send someone to send a letter back to Memphis, to discuss with the other two high priests, and to find an excuse for the maiden to make another order, because the emergency transfers him back in advance.

There is still a little trouble in front of him. I'm afraid he can't intercept Amon himself. He can only send someone else. As for interrogation and killing, he must let the most trusted confidants to do it. .

The messenger who served the order was the deputy director of Monarch City's Archives Office, and a prominent man. Rod Dick naturally had to entertain him and hold a grand banquet. Thank you and welcome to Julian. Polis. From this afternoon until late at night, the city-state officials were very busy, and the Lord City Master was again busy and did not return home, of course, no one could care about Amon.

Amon didn't know that Maria had the time to give the order and saved him once, so that Julian, the great wizard, had no time and opportunity to take him down in person. But he was also very cautious in doing things himself. He left the cape city that afternoon, and drove the carriage sent by Tashun Lington with a small amount of luggage and a cat.

The servants in Rhodes Dick's House were very reluctant to reluctantly go to this foreign boy, because they have heard that Amon took out a huge sum of thirty-two divine stones to give it to the Lord, and everyone could get a big share Money! In particular, several gatekeepers led Amon's carriage to the junction, and even watched him leave tearfully.

Amon's next stop is Monmouth City, and for some reason he always wants to go there. Memphis was west of the cape city-state, but he left the east gate. If anyone is secretly paying attention, he will think that the foreigner intends to return to his hometown-he is from the deep mountains of the remote Youdi Valley and should go there.
