Alexander was stunned, lowered his head and whispered, "Father, how can you care about such a small matter?"

Philip II replied: "If it were someone else, it would be a trivial matter, and I would not want to ask about it." But did you really never wonder why that girl appeared, and why did you have to win the favor of you and Medanzo at the same time? You should know who Medanzo is, and you should know who Amon is. Do you remember the oracle two years ago? The great father of the gods, Zeus, said that the people were Amun and Medanzo. ”

Alexander still bowed his head and said: "Of course I know what the arrival of Mr. Amon and Medanzo means to the Kingdom of Macedonia, please rest assured, no matter what, I will not offend Medanzo and Amon because of Helen." ”

Philip II added: "It is not only up to you whether you want to or not, but if anyone wants to stir up a strife, there will be a rift." Since you have this attitude, the surname Suo indicates it, and bless Medanzo and Helen as a friend, and Helen has no reason to refuse this blessing. ”

Alexander didn't speak, just frowned slightly. Philip II stood up and walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "My child, what is your true vow? Is it the future Macedonian Empire or a beautiful girl Helen? It seems that the two are not contradictory, a strong monarch can naturally have the most beautiful girl in the world, but now there is a contradiction, there is no need." You still have a long way to go, many trials to go through, and you will face many such choices. ”

While they spoke, Amon sat next door and listened quietly, and he quietly performed a magic spell - the guardian of Isis. It is a blessing technique that can make people forget their pain and exhaustion, and make their souls more awake and comfortable. His purpose was not only to appease Alexander, but the most important function of the Blessing Divine Art was to remove all kinds of negative influences from the soul.

Aphrodite, as the god of love and beauty of the Olympian gods, must have mastered the art of seduction, and it was quite ingenious. Divine techniques that can affect the feelings of the soul and have effects such as charm have something in common with the magic of summoning souls, and in that Lothmon, Amon has already seen her methods, so he naturally will not take it lightly.

If Alexander's soul was affected by the effect of divine charm, it would not be easy for Philip II to persuade him. Amon did not find such traces in Alexander's soul, but he still prayed for Alexander's blessing by using Isis's protection to adapt to all changes, whether he found it or not, and tried to eliminate this possibility.

Alexander made a decision under the persuasion of his father, he knew that Medanzo liked Helen, and Helen was attracting the favor of two men at the same time, as if he would not refuse anyone, so Alexander decided to find an opportunity to show his attitude and bless Helen and Medanzo.

The next day, Amon took the Lothmon away, and without saying a word, he released the monster directly into the mountains. And Alexander went to visit Helen again, and it happened that Medanzo was there. While they were laughing, the young prince suddenly said to Helen: "You have come to Macedonia to look for the hero you want, but the hero is close at hand, is there a more heroic man here than Medanzo? ”

This sentence almost made Medanzo's face red, but Helen looked surprised, and turned into the house with a shy look, as if she didn't know how to answer. Alexander chatted with Medanzo for a while, and made a few jokes about him and Helen, before he got up to take his leave.

That night, Helen sat alone under the lamp and said to herself: "Actually, I prefer the handsome prince Alexander." A strong warrior is only a personal strength, and a king who conquers many states is the true hero. Although she spoke in a low voice, her maid heard it, and the maid was sent by Alexander, and the words naturally reached Alexander's ears again.

However, Alexander did not respond, and as if he did not know at all, he gradually reduced his contacts with Helen, and even if he occasionally visited Helen, it was with Medanzo. Medanzo, on the other hand, went down the river and corresponded with Helen more diligently, and one day he spent the night at Helen's house.

...... The next morning, when the energetic and radiant Medanzo returned humming a tune, he happened to bump into Amon sitting in the courtyard. Aristotle's mansion was not small, and a cross courtyard was specially reserved for Amon and Medanzo, and no one else disturbed him. Amon took several chairs and placed them in the courtyard, and sat in the middle of it.

Seeing this frame Medanzo was stunned, and seeing that there was no one left and right, he asked a little embarrassed: "My God, are you waiting for me?"

Amon looked up at him and said quietly: "** is one of the forces that drive this world, it just depends on how we face it." To awaken the power of the source, the first test is to face **, and such a test will run throughout. ”

He obviously had something to say, and Medanzo smiled without saying a word. Amon asked again, "How did you feel last night?"

Medanzo whispered a little embarrassed, "I've never had such a good time!"

Amon's tone sank slightly: "Do you really think it's her?"

What do you mean by that? There was a magical message in his voice, in fact, the girl named Helen was not in his room at all last night, and Medanzo did not spend the night with anyone. As the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite has many unique and clever methods, such as her summoning magic that even Amon has not found. Yesterday she cast an illusion that could charm soul sense, making Medanzo think she was having fun with Helen.

This method is very clever, even Amon has to admire, and Medanzo did not use any means to resist, and experienced unprecedented ** enjoyment. If Aphrodite had used this method to seduce men in the world, almost no one would have been able to resist. Amon questioned Medanzo, not so much to blame him for spending the night, but to ask him if he understood.

Medanzo bowed his head and replied, "I know, my God, do you want to blame me? I have nothing to lose, and on the contrary, I am thankful for her." ”

Amon seemed to want to laugh, but then he held back and said with a straight face: "You really enjoyed it, just wait to be beaten." ”

Medanzo took a step back and said in surprise: "Who will beat me?"

Amon: "Me!"

Medanzo: "Why?"

Amon said in a deep voice: "After a while, you will be clear, your account for this night, someone will come to the door to settle it." You should know who Helen is, and why would she meddle?"

Medanzo quietly took a step back and whispered, "Well, Helen is indeed very lovely, the most attractive woman I have ever seen, and she has taken the initiative to show favor to me, and I have no reason to refuse." ”

Amon asked, "If she were Helen, it wouldn't be fine. You don't have to say why, but what else?"

Medanzo finally raised his head, blinked his eyes and replied, "If Alexander is fascinated by Helen, he will listen to whatever she says." This may not be a bad thing for the Macedonian kingdom, the future heir has the favor of the goddess, but it is not a good thing for you, she is afraid that she wants to force you away by the hand of Alexander. Your cooperation with Zeus ended in your departure for no reason, and your attempt to verify failed. ”

Amon smiled bitterly and said, "Fool who thinks he is wise! is that the reason?"

Medanzo replied honestly: "Of course, not only that, but there is also the first reason, which I have just answered. ”

Amon suddenly sighed: "People who want to find trouble, no matter what, will find trouble, and it's not who is a fool." ...... I knew in my heart that no, she had already come to the door!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a servant outside the courtyard shouting, "Mr. Amon, Miss Helen and His Royal Highness Prince Alexander have something to do with you. ”

Amon said loudly, "Please come in, the seats are ready." ”

Medanzo reacted at this time, no wonder Amon would have put chairs in the courtyard, a total of six. Helen came, and her eyes were still red. Alexander also came, looking a little embarrassed, as if he had been called by Helen, accompanied by Aristotle.

Amon was not a rude person, but he was not pretentious, and when he saw them come in, he did not get up to greet them, but just waved to Aristotle and said, "Sir, please take a seat!" As for whether the others sit or not, Amon doesn't care, anyway, the seat is there, and he will do it himself.

Medanzo did not sit down, but stood there with his head bowed, as did Alexander and Helen. Helen stepped forward and saluted Amon with an expression of infinite grievance: "Mr. Amon, I heard that His Royal Highness Alexander respects you very much, and Medanzo is also your disciple, so I would like to ask you to uphold justice today. ”

Amon waved his hand lightly: "Beautiful girl, please don't be sad, just say anything you want." ”

Helen lowered her head and tugged at Alexander's sleeve, who coughed lightly and looked at Aristotle with a pleading gaze. It seems that they are not easy to talk about this matter, but they ask Aristotle, a generous elder, to talk about it.

Aristotle's expression was a little helpless, and he said with a little embarrassment: "That's the case, Mr. Medanzo forcibly stayed in Miss Helen's room last night, and I won't say much about the specific process, in short, there are servants and maids to testify." Medanzo was a hero, and Miss Helen couldn't resist his strength, but ......"

Before the words fell, a crisp sound of "pop" was heard, and a translucent long whip flew out of his sleeve in Amun's hand, which was once the whip rope of Enriel's shepherd, and the whip of Amun's chariot, shook out a very beautiful and exaggerated whip in the air, and the tip of the whip was slammed on Medanzo's back. The whip was as sharp as a knife, and Medanzo's clothes were cut like papier-mâché, and the blow was not light.

Alexander hurriedly rushed forward to stop him, shouting, "Mr. Amun, don't do this!"

Medanzo let out a short cry of pain, and Helen stepped forward and opened her arms and said, "Mr. Amon, please don't punish him like this!"

Amon put away his whip and said with an angry face: "Do you feel heartache when I beat him......? Medanzo has to pay for what he has done, and this is the consequence of his choice. ”

Aphrodite secretly scolded Amon in her heart for being able to act, but on the surface she said delicately: "Please listen to Mr. Aristotle's words, and it is not too late to be angry." ”

Amon turned to Aristotle and said, "Sir, are you not finished talking?"

Aristotle had to go on to explain: "The good lady Helen thinks she too is responsible, and does not want to accuse Medanzo, but has come to ask you and me for justice. ”

Amon asked, "Then what do you think should be done to punish Medanzo?"

Aristotle thought for a moment: "Medanzo is a noble warrior, and if the Helen girl does not object, according to the custom of the Macedonian city-state, the representatives of the citizens can be summoned to vote on pottery tablets to decide whether or not to expel him as persona non grata." ”

The so-called pottery vote refers to the fact that each person is given a pottery piece at the time of the meeting, and a symbol of support or consent is drawn on it, and a secret ballot is held. This practice was first practiced in the city-state of Aaron and later spread throughout Heaton.

Medanzo forcibly stayed in Helen's room at night, and Helen was a guest of Prince Alexander, and Medanzo was disrespectful to the Macedonian kingdom by doing so. Aristotle was talking about the usual practice of punishing a nobleman, and the punishment was not very severe, but if Medanzo was expelled in this way, and Medanzo was brought by Amon, then Amon would probably not be able to stay any longer.

Amon said hatefully: "He is not popular anywhere, I wish he would disappear from the world sooner...... Medanzo, let me ask you, did you open the door or did she open the door?"

Medanzo: "I pushed the door open. ”

Amon: "Are you taking the initiative or is she taking the initiative?"

Medanzo: "I also took the initiative. ”

Amon: "Did she say she didn't want to?"

Medanzo: "I said 'no' a few times, but I didn't say I didn't want to ......"

Amon: "Nothing, but! Who closed the door?"

Medanzo: "She closed the door. ”

Amon then turned to Aristotle and said, "In that case, I have another suggestion to punish Medanzo, I wonder if it is possible?"

Aristotle hastenedly said, "I just said one of the usual punishments, and if Mr. Amon has any suggestions, please say it." ”

Amon thought for a moment and then said, "No matter how you punish Medanzo, you must be fair to Miss Helen, and who can judge that our punishment is fair?"

Helen finally couldn't help but speak: "I have invited someone, and her verdict will definitely be fair." ”

With Amon and Aristotle present, it was surprising that Helen had invited someone to "adjudicate". At this time, the people in the courtyard couldn't help but look towards the door, because a person walked in, as if he suddenly appeared from the void and stepped through the courtyard gate.

Whoever sees a person walking with their eyes closed and seems to be able to see everything clearly, will be amazed. But this little "little thing" was not enough to disgrace Amon, and it was a woman in her twenties who came in, and Amon saw that her face changed slightly, and stood up and stared at her face.
