022, worry about the country (I)
Everyone looked at Dusty, and Xiao Gu interjected dissatisfiedly: "You obviously deliberately let him go, before Lord Randil arrived." ”
Before Dasty could reply, Ge Lie suddenly said to Xiao Mo, "Governor, this decree is still in force, right? No one should be blamed for faithfully carrying out the kingdom's decrees, and a clerk should never blame his own commander like this!"
Xiao Mo has been in charge of the city-state of Syria for many years, and of course he is a shrewd veteran of officialdom, so he immediately understood that Gelie wanted to defend Dusty. As the governor of the city-state of Syria and the high priest of the temple, Xiao Mo would rather offend ten Randils than one Gore, and his position is one level higher than that of Randil, and he flatters Randil only because of his status as the envoy of the other king's capital.
Looking at Randil's smug appearance these days, Xiao Mo has long been unpleasant. At this time, seeing that Ge Lie reprimanded Xiao Gu and had the intention of criticizing Randil, he couldn't wait to push the boat down the river, and quickly nodded: "Yes, this decree is completely legal and valid, and I didn't say that Mayor Dusty should do anything wrong." Just ask him why, it's surprising after all. ”
Dusty bowed and explained, "Actually, I'm looking for an excuse to punish Amon. Not long ago I heard from the merchants of Ejulai that there was another saint named Maria in the temple of Lower Aegisis, who had received the tears of the gods offered by a miner in the town of Duk. More than two months ago, Rod Dick, the ruler of the city-state of the headland, did come with a girl named Maria. I thought he was just in business, but I didn't expect this to happen.
At that time, Xiao Gu, the priest who presided over the affairs of the Temple of Horus and the Temple of Mu Yun, did not know, he was still my secretary, so there was no record of such a divine stone in the records of this town. Later, the result of my investigation was that Amon mined the Tears of the Gods and presented them to the goddess Isis in his personal name, and that the person who took the Stone was Fayol Judas, the scribe of Rod Dick.
Such behavior cannot be tolerated, but it cannot be used as an excuse to offend the Eju Empire. In order to prevent something like this from happening again, Amon must be punished in order to deter and warn everyone. That's why I thought of this decree thirty years ago, asking him to hunt down an evil magician in the mountains where cavemen live, and ordered him not to come back if he couldn't find it.
It's a kind of banishment, and he can't come back alive!As the mayor of the town, I have no right to execute a townsman at will, but I have a responsibility to share the worries of the kingdom, and I thought about it for several nights before I came up with this solution. Lord Randil's intention is to punish Amon, I am very relieved and regretful, I am glad that he should be punished from the standpoint of the kingdom, but it is a pity that Lord Randil did not come three days early. ”
After Dusty finished speaking, Xiao Gu was so frightened by the reprimand just now that he didn't dare to speak anymore, and the others also saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so they didn't take the lead in expressing their stance for a while, only Ge Lie nodded and said, "I see, it's really well-intentioned! Dusty is a competent commander who knows how to share the worries of the kingdom! Governor, Lord Landier, we should be glad to have such an outstanding talent under our rule, shouldn't we?"
Governor Xiao Mo, High Priest Cosman, and Treasurer Morton echoed in unison: "Yes, Mayor Dasty is loyal and competent!"
Randil was a little confused, he was here to punish Amon's envoy, what should he do if Amon left, isn't the mission impossible to complete?He waved his hand and said, "Ge Lie, don't be in a hurry to praise a village mayor, how can this envoy complete the mission?"
Gelie snorted suddenly, and the wine glass in front of Randil shattered silently, and the bright red wine splattered his clothes. Randur jumped up from his chair in fright, only to hear Ge Lie say coldly, "You are so rude, you dare to call me by my name without any honorifics!"
Randul also came to his senses, and the attitude of the local officials along the way was very respectful to him, which made the petty bureaucrat of the Ministry of Law who had left the royal capital for the first time a little carried away. Ge Lie is an eighth-level great magician and a member of the Patriarchal Group of the Divine Art Academy of the Hatti Kingdom, and his status is extremely transcendent, how can he reprimand him for no reason? If Ge Lie makes a big fuss about this matter and does not let it go, and even impeaches him for disrespecting the gods through the Patriarch of the Divine Magic Academy, the most serious consequence may be that he will be stripped of his position.
Naturally, Ge Lie would not do such a boring and serious thing, but Misher Landil was frightened by his own thoughts, and immediately bowed down and saluted: "Dear Great Magician, Misher is very sorry, I hope you can forgive me for my faux pas! ”
Ge Lie's face softened, but he didn't let Randil sit down, and said slowly: "It's not impossible if you want to complete your mission, let Governor Xiao Mo borrow a guard to escort you into the deep mountains bordering Assyria and Baron, when to find Amon and punish him, and when to return to the royal capital to restore your life." I can bear witness for you, and bring the news back to the Ministry of Law of the Royal Capital, and send someone to inform your superiors and family members so that they should not be in a hurry. ”
Xiao Mo and the others wanted to laugh in their hearts but had to hold back, a guy like Randyer who regards other people's humility and politeness as his own prestige is indeed very hateful, but it is difficult to say anything because of his identity. But Ge Li, a great magician who can't slap Randil at all, really wants to turn his face and clean him up, even the head of the Ministry of Law will not blame Ge Ri because of Randil.
Seeing that Randil's expression was about to cry, he knelt down to Ge Lie and saluted, "Respected Great Magician, do you have any other instructions?"
Ge Lie smiled, and stretched out his hand to help him up in the air: "Actually, it's easy to do, there are two ways." First, you give Governor Xiao Mo an order to send someone to bring Amon to you, and you wait in the city-state of Syria. However, this method may not be very effective, and Amon Shiyou** has been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains a long time ago. The second method is simple, you just need to report what happened here truthfully, and don't forget to praise Xiao Mo and Dusty and other local officials for how they really share their worries for the country.
Amon has been punished as he deserves, he is nothing more than a miner, the king has sent you as a messenger to punish him only to warn others, and now that this purpose has been fully achieved, no one will bother with anything anymore. Besides, with me present as a witness for you, a word can be solved. I think it's because the head of the Ministry of Justice sees that you are diligent, so he sent you out for a walk, eating, drinking, and enjoying yourself along the way, right?"
Randyer's face turned red, and he didn't say "yes", nor did he say "no", so he had to resign himself and said, "Thank you, respected Great Magician, thank you colleagues, then do it." ”
......
Amon climbed all the way up, feeling like he was not climbing an isolated mountain but walking up a plateau. The mountain road is not blindly upward, with ups and downs passing through many gentle and open areas, and lush primeval jungle grows. With abundant vegetation, rainfall, and wildlife, it's a great place for hunting and gathering, so it's no wonder that there are tribes of cave-dwelling savages.
He kept his guard on the iron branches, but for a whole day he saw no sign of the caveman, only a few squirrels and wild sheep. The mountain squirrel will not avoid people, and will even jump on the high branches to look at you curiously, but if you get too close, it will burrow into the canopy and disappear. The wild sheep are very timid, and when they hear the movement, they run away from the distance, and they are so agile that they can jump up the steep rocks.
Footprints are not always visible on the trail, the climate in the mountains is very complicated, sometimes there are two days of cloudy and sunny weather across the mountain beams, some places are very dry and cannot leave footprints, and the trail itself is intermittent.
As it grew dark, Amon left the path and found a hollow with his back to the stone wall, and a small open field in front of him, which was his favorite camp in the mountains. Lighting a bonfire and making Schrödinger a dinner first, and then eating his own full, he didn't have much special meat floss with him, at most enough for him and Schrödinger to eat for another two or three days, and then he had to hunt himself.
When he was camping, he realized one thing, according to the old madman, if he can use two low-level divine techniques together, he is already a qualified second-level magician, and I don't know if the old madman has left information in the "Pupil of the Earth" that can be seen at the moment.
After dark, Amon moved his limbs in the clearing, his movements were like a kind of physical but unfixed routine, which was the habit of bathing in the cold spring for many years, and as the heat flow in his body rose and spread, he stretched his muscles and bones, and could get the greatest relaxation to eliminate the fatigue of the day. Strange to say, even if you don't take a cold spring now, when you exercise like this every day, you will feel a warmth all over your body, and you feel very comfortable.
Then Amon inserted the staff in front of him, laid out the clean soft grass and sat quietly in meditation, the so-called "power given by the gods" is more often called mana, in a state of contemplation and introspection, the mana is used to communicate with external objects. Magicians may be good at different magic, but as the most basic skill, this state of contemplation and introspection is the same, and different levels of magicians can achieve different states.
Amon doesn't know the information magic yet, and the information magic is the same as the detection magic is a mid-level divine art, and being able to use a mid-level divine skill alone is also one of the criteria for assessing a third-level divine magician. But the old madman had already sealed the words he was going to tell him in the pupil of the earth with the information magic technique, and as long as Amon reached a certain stage, he would naturally "see" the content of a certain stage.
Amon entered a meditative state of contemplation and introspection, using his mana to touch and summon the pupil of the earth, and sure enough, a message came into his mind. It was like words appearing in front of my eyes, and like a voice ringing in my ears, and the content of the message was as follows.
