Pivot of the Sky

It was quiet in the square for a while, and Aristotle's words were finally summed up by the old madman —— "God has proven that Amon has been granted grace and blessings, and learning skill is a miracle.” This is hard to refute, unless someone comes forward and shouts: "The craftsmanship of Tucker Town is passed down from generation to generation without the need to guard the blessings of God.” Who dares to say that, for many years now, everyone here, convinced of God's protection, has been implanted in the soul.

Even those who have doubts can only implicitly engage themselves and confess in uncertainty, because once said, they will be abandoned by all around them. So it's not a question of willingness to believe, it's about having to express piety, and it's about protecting ourselves.

The old madman turned to Aristotle when he saw no one talking: "Sir, the argument you just made implies a lot of dangerous assumptions, don't you realize? ”

Aristotle saw Nietzsche's eyes, and the old man's eyes had a slight smile. Only Aristotle himself understands that his threesome just now would indeed draw dangerous conclusions if it were changed to a larger premise. For example, this child did not receive the patron saint's permission, and he learned the mineral craftsmanship, which means that learning the mineral craftsmanship does not require the patron saint's permission.

That's why the audience doesn't feel right and can't point out what's wrong. No one dares to deny the Oracle, because it is the starting point for everything and must be a premise, but when the old lunatic asks Aristotle what he is obviously implying.

Amon stood stubbornly, at this moment his body couldn't help but tremble again, twisting his head and looking at Aristotle with gratitude, and looking at the old madman in confusion. Unlike others, Amon obviously heard the old lunatic's extrastrings, and Nietzsche was not only questioning Aristotle, which seemed to suggest something to him.

Amon's mind was as flickering as Xiao Gu had just asked, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. This debate contained many incredible and unspeakable assumptions, such as that Mu Yun Goddess did not exist at all, that Mu Yun Goddess existed but did not pay attention to it at all, that there was no need to use the blessings of a guardian god to learn mining techniques, and that if blessings were needed, it might be another god… etc.

Amon's face became red, like he was drunk, and his divine color was a little tranced. For the miner's son, it was hard to digest so much in an instant. Today, he is the party to the incident and has to think about it.

Aristotle seemed to have understood Nietzsche's grin, and his hands pressed a smile on his chest: “I have no disrespect for any god, and devotion to the god comes from what we desire, not what we want. People should be faithful to their beliefs, but God's existence is not shifted by someone's will. ”

He cleverly avoided this interrogation, and the old madman did not continue to haunt him. Instead, he turned to speak in a heavy tone and shook up coldly. “There is only one explanation for this, Lord Priest, that your actions are damaging to the glow of the Goddess of Mu Yun, and the Goddess did not bless Amon through you, the priest. We all know that the glow of the Goddess is eternal, and the loyalty of the priest is tested. … Lord Mayor, since we are all here, what should we do with this priest? ”

Xiao Gu's face brushed white, cold sweat fell off his forehead, and his legs trembled a little. He didn't expect the situation to turn so sharply. The man facing the blame became himself. The old lunatic's words clearly questioned whether he still qualified to remain a priest. He read two words in the eyes of an old lunatic - ruthless!

But the Mayor of Dasti beside him kept quiet and watched the noise with such cold eyes.

Xiao Gu has been in the town of Duke for too long, gradually forgotten how to get to this seat at the earliest, all thanks to the help of the old madman. The old madman said, "You are a very simple man and a very smart man, and more importantly, your human nature in the world is real. There is really no one in this town better suited to be a priest and a clerk in the temple than you. ”

But Xiao Gu sat in this seat for a long time, gradually dealing with the noble adults in the city state, even with the position of Mayor Dasti had a dark ambition, but ignored the old madman who had never shown up in the mountains for many years. How can an old lunatic be so sharp when he doesn't say crazy things? Is this an attempt to cut off his future in public? Just like you put him in this seat?

Xiao Gu took a step back and shouted with a stiff scalp: “Oh, Mr. Nietzsche, it seems like this is a complete misunderstanding. I didn't know you had the message of the great Mu Yun Goddess in your dreams, which is rare, but it's not like it never happened. In the scriptures of the gods, when there was no temple in the town of Duke, it was Goddess Mu Yun who directly blessed the earliest craftsmen in the town and taught us the skills passed down from generation to generation. … Amon, he is a child of the Goddess. ”

Xiao Gu hastened to throw away the scriptures of the divine secretaries. This is also an ancient legend of Duke Town, explaining the origin of the craftsmanship here. Later on, people built a magnificent temple based on such legends, which were many, many years ago. Whether or not to dispose of Amon is now irrelevant, Xiao Gu must first preserve himself.

Mayor Dusty finally spoke beside him and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the Book of God does have this record. … Mr. Aristotle, you said you were here to do something for Lord Dick. What is it? Don't be delayed by our quarrel. ”

The mayor obviously wanted to interrupt, and Aristotle replied: "Miss Maria, no, Lord Maria is unwell, and her servant, who happens to be ill, needs to find a servant in town to serve Lord Maria, who can do the heavy work for about three days. ”

Dusty was a little confused, and he said to himself, "Rod Dick has so many followers, why do you need to find a servant in town?" But he didn't say much funny, and asked gently, "What kind of person do you need? ”

Aristotle looked at Amon carelessly and said not slowly: “First, you can't have a woman with a man; second, you can't be an adult man; third, you can't have ash on his hair, you can't have mud in his nails. ”

“Fourthly, he will have a pure heart; fifthly, he will have the patronage and recognition of Goddess Isis.” Aristotle has just finished his remarks, and the old lunatic has added two more, and today he is saying a lot more.

Aristotle nodded with a slight smile: "Yes, there are two more. Is there such a person in town? If any, the reward is one gold coin per day, and Lord Dick's generosity is amazing. ”

As soon as Dusty listened to Aristotle, he understood that if Maria's former servant was ill, it would be really difficult to find such a person in Lord Dick's entourage. These are actually Gabriel's demands, and when she gets the tears of the gods, she demands that Maria live by the standards of the Virgin, because she will soon become a true Virgin.

Gabriel had five conditions, but Aristotle had said only the first three, because the latter two conditions were the same for the inhabitants of the town of Duke, who were afraid that no one would find them, and the old madman had supplied them.

The residents of Duke Town usually deal with furnace fires and ore. In these days, the mayor ordered to pay all the taxes owed this season, and a huge merchant team arrived in town. Household furnace fires are still under construction, either to pay taxes or to extract magic stones in time for more commodities.

It's too hard to find a man with no ash on his hair and no mud on his nails here. There are only three people in the whole square: Dusty, Xiao Gu and Amon. Amon was clean, had just washed in the cold spring at night, even washed his clothes together, then dried in the early morning sun, dressed before returning to town.

The old madman laughed: "Lucky for us, there is only one person here who meets your criteria. He is a child, a minor, and you know why he is standing here because of Goddess Isis' patronage.... Amon, go with this gentleman. … this gentleman, please pay his father three gold coins. ”

Lord Mayor also walked down the steps, very rarely clapping Amon's shoulder: “Son, go with this gentleman, do as he tells you, don't neglect the most noble guests in the town. ”

The crowd separated a path and Aristotle took Amon. Before Amon left, he also raised his father on his knees, and the old lunatic whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with only good things, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

After Amon's departure, the people did not disperse, and the old lunatic still stood in front of the mayor of the town and said: “The Temple Priest proved that Amon was not at fault with the ancient Book of God and was blessed by Goddess Mu Yun. But it also proves that the Lord Priest forgot the word of the Gospel and was blinded to his soul. Had it not been for our distinguished guest's reminder, Lord Xiao Gu would have cut off one of his fingers. Lord Mayor, Mr. High Priest, what should we do with this? ”

Xiao Gu just dried cold sweat again. I didn't expect the old lunatic to be so harsh today. If he doesn't let go of this problem, it will be difficult for him to pass it on to the ears of the priests of the main temple of the city. Aunt Xiao went one step further with an almost crying voice: “It was my negligence that has never happened to me since I became a priest. I thank the distinguished elder Mr. Nietzsche for reminding me of my willingness to atone for my reckless actions and apologize to Amon here. ”

When the noble priest also walked down the steps, he fell down and photographed the dust on Amon's father's knees, and the townspeople's eyes widened. This shook Amon's father and took two quick steps back: “Sir Xiao Gu, you don't have to do this, what to do is a matter for the adults, a message from the goddess, I believe the great Goddess Mu Yun is protecting Amon. ”

The old madman laughed coldly: "You cannot refuse the kindness of such a noble priest. How kind and generous he is! He wants to make it up to you, you have to accept. … Lord Mayor, I suggest that their family tax for this year be paid by Lord Xiao Gu. ”

Xiao Gu stood upright and nodded immediately: "Okay, no problem!” His tone is generous, because the old alcoholic mined almost the least of the sacred stones in town in a year, which is usually just four sacred stones with basic taxes. But then frowned slightly, and he thought that it was not only the old drunkard who was able to mine the stones now, but Amon was obviously a good hand. If the next year's stone mining happened to be a lot, he would have to pay nine taxes out of every ten, but it was also a huge expense.

But in this case, Xiao Gu already had to say yes.

Mayor Dasti nodded: "Then it's over, and I'll write down what happened in the name of the mayor, but it's just a record, and I won't report it as a blasphemy to the Temple of the City State. All right, we're good here. Let's split up. ”

This statement is tantamount to holding Xiao Gu's handle. Mayor Dusty will make a record stating that he will not report it, but he can report what he says. Xiao Gu, as a temple priest, violates the divine message, and there are witnesses to the details of the incident. Mayor Dusty also implicitly knew that Xiao Gu had deliberately dated the adults in the city for almost two years and had an idea about the status of the mayor, but now is not the time to tear his face apart. After all, the town can't find a more suitable person to help with the matter for the time being, so take the opportunity to give him an appropriate warning.
