Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 307: 308, Fool
Alexander stunned and lowered his head in a low voice: "Father, why do you care about such a small thing? ”
Philip II replied, "If it's someone else, it's just a small matter, of course I won't ask. But have you ever really wondered why that girl showed up and why you and Medanzo were both so fond of each other? You should know who Medanzo is, and more clearly who Amon is. Remember the Oracle two years ago? The man Zeus, the father of the great gods, said, should be Amon and Medanzo. ”
Alexander still bowed his head: “Of course I know what Mr. Amon and Medanzo's arrival means for the Kingdom of Macedonia. Rest assured, Father, that I will not condemn Medanzo and Amon for Helen in any case. ”
Philip II added: "It's not just a matter of whether you want it or not. If someone has a heart to start a dispute, it's bound to create a crack. Now that you have this attitude, there is no reason for Helen to refuse it, as a friend, to bless Medanzo and Helen. ”
Alexander did not speak, but frowned slightly. Philip II stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "My child, what is your real vow? Is it the future Empire of Macedonia or a beautiful girl, Helen? The two do not seem to contradict each other. A powerful monarch naturally has the most beautiful girl in the world, but now there is a contradiction, which is unnecessary. You have a long way to go, a lot of tests to go through, and you will face a lot of choices like this. ”
As they spoke, Amon sat quietly next door listening, and he quietly performed a sort of magic, the guardian of Isis. This is a kind of prayer magic that allows people to forget about pain and fatigue, the soul is clearer and more comfortable. His purpose was not only to appease Alexandria, but the most important role of the art of prayer was to eliminate the negative effects on the soul.
Aphrodite, a god of love and beauty in the Olympus Divine System, is inevitably masterful in charming techniques and is quite ingenious. A divine technique that affects the feelings of the soul and has the effect of charming. It has something to do with the summoning of the soul. Amon has seen her means on that Ross beast, and naturally she will not be taken lightly.
If Alexander's soul is affected by the seductive effects of magic, it is not easy for Philip II to persuade him. Amon did not find such traces in Alexander's soul, but prayed for Alexander with immutability and the guardianship of Isis, whether he found them or not, to eliminate them as much as possible.
Alexander, persuaded by his father to make a decision, knew that Medanzo liked Helen and that Helen was attracted to both men at the same time and seemed to refuse to anyone, so Alexander decided to find an opportunity to show his attitude and bless Helen and Medanzo.
The next day Amon took the Los Angeles beast and said nothing, releasing it directly to the deep mountains. And Alexander went to visit Helen, and Medanzo happened to be there. In the joke, the young prince suddenly said to Helen, "You come to Macedonia to find the hero in your heart, but the hero is close to you. Is there anyone here more brave than Medanzo? You are very fond of each other and, if you can combine, I would like to extend my most sincere wishes on behalf of the Kingdom of Macedonia. ”
That sentence almost blushed Medanzo's face, but Helen looked surprised and turned into the house with a shyness, as if she didn't know how to answer. Alexander talked to Medanzo for a while and joked with Helen before getting up to say goodbye.
That evening, Helen sat alone under the lamp and said to herself, "Actually, I prefer Alexander, the handsome prince. A mighty samurai is only a mighty man, and the king who conquers many kingdoms is a true hero.” Though she whispered, her maid heard, and the maid was sent by Alexander, and she naturally passed it back into Alexander's ear.
But Alexander did not respond, as if he had no idea, and gradually reduced his dealings with Helen, even if he came to visit Helen occasionally, with Medanzo. Meanwhile, Medanzo pushed the boat along and was more diligent with Helen, who finally spent the night at Helen's house.
……
The next morning, when Medanzo, shuddered and radiant, returned humming a small tune, he happened to meet Amon sitting in the yard. Aristotle's mansion is quite large, offering Amon and Medanzo an open courtyard, with no one else disturbing it. Amon held several chairs in the yard and sat himself in the middle.
Look at this Medanzo, stunned, no one left or right, he asked embarrassingly, "My God, are you waiting for me? ”
Amon looked up at him and said in silence: "Desire is one of the forces driving the world, only to see how we can face it. To awaken the power of the source, the first test is to face desire, and such a test runs throughout. ”
He obviously has something to say, Medanzo. Hey, laugh without saying anything. Amon asked, “How did it feel last night? ”
Medanzo answered in a somewhat embarrassed whisper: "Never been happier! ”
Amon spoke slightly: “Do you really think it was her? ”
What's that supposed to mean? The voice carries a divine message, but last night, the girl named Helen wasn't in her room at all, and Medanzo didn't spend the night with anyone. As a god of love and beauty, Aphrodite has many very unique and brilliant means, such as her summoning magic, which has not even found traces of Amon. Yesterday, she performed an illusion that seduced the soul, making Medanzo think she was having a crush on Helen.
This means is brilliant, even Amon has had to admire it, and Medanzo has not used any means to resist, experiencing unprecedented enjoyment of the soul. If Aphrodite uses this technique to seduce men in the world, hardly anyone can resist it. Amon asks Medanzo, not where he spends the night, but if he understands?
Medanzo lowered his head and replied, "I know! My God, are you trying to blame me? I didn't lose anything, and on the contrary, I was quite grateful to her. ”
Amon seemed to want to laugh, and then he held on to it. “You do enjoy it, just wait and get beaten up. ”
Medanzo took a step back and said, "Who's gonna beat me up? ”
Amon: "Me! ”
Metazo: “You? Why?”
"After a while, you'll know," said Amon. "Someone will come to the door to calculate your bill for the night. You should know who Helen is. Why would you do that? ”
Medanzo took another quiet step backwards and whispered, “Well, Helen is really cute, the most charming woman I've ever seen, and she offered her regards to me, and I had no reason to refuse. ”
"If she's Helen, that's all right," asked Amon. You don't have to say that. Anything else? ”
Medanzo finally looked up and blinked and replied: "If Alexander is upside down because of Helen, he will listen to whatever she says, which may not be a bad thing for the Kingdom of Macedonia, and the future heirs will have the patronage of the Goddess. But it's not a good thing for you, and I'm afraid she wants to use Alexander's hand to force you away. Your collaboration with Zeus ended with your unwarranted departure and your authentication attempt failed. ”
Amon grinned. “You fool who thinks he's smart! Is that why? ”
Medanzo answered honestly: "Of course not only that, but also the first reason, which I have just answered. ”
Amon sighed suddenly: "Anyway, people who want trouble will find trouble, and they don't know who's stupid.... I know in my heart that it's not, she's already at the door! ”
As soon as the voice came down, a servant outside the courtyard shouted: "Mr. Almond, Miss Helen and His Highness Prince Alexander are looking for you. ”
Amon Lang said, "Come in, the seats are ready. ”
Medanzo just reacted, no wonder Amon put chairs in the yard, a total of six. Helen's here, her eyes are still red. Alexander came, and his face was a little embarrassed. He seemed to have been called in by Helen, accompanying them both in, and Aristotle.
Amon was not a rude man, but he did not do anything. He did not stand up to greet them when he saw them coming in. He simply waved to Aristotle and said: "Sir, have a seat!” As for whether the others sit or not, Amon doesn't care. The seat is there anyway, so do it yourself.
Instead of sitting down, Medanzo stood with his head down, and neither did Alexander and Helen. Helen took a step forward and saluted Ammon with infinite divinity: "I hear His Highness, Mr. Ammon, respects you very much, and Medanzo is also your disciple, so I ask you to preside over justice today. ”
Amon waved softly: "Beautiful girl, please don't be sad, say anything. ”
Helen lowered her head and pulled Alexander's sleeve, and Alexander coughed softly, looking to Aristotle for help. They didn't seem to be able to talk about it, but they asked Aristotle, the elderly man, for it.
Aristotle's expression was somewhat helpless and slightly embarrassing: “Yes, Mr. Medanzo was forced to stay in Miss Helen's room last night, not to mention the specific process. In short, there were servants and maids who could testify. Medanzo is a hero, and Miss Helen can't resist his power, but..."
Before his voice fell, he listened to the crisp sound of a "bang”. Amon Yang's hand flew out of his sleeve a translucent long whip, which was once Enrique's flogging rope, Amon's rushing horse whip, and shook a beautiful, exaggerated whip in the air. The whip was slapped on the back of Medanzo. The whip was sharp as a knife, and Medanzo's clothes were cut open like paper paste, which was a pretty light beating.
Alexander hurriedly jumped forward and stopped, shouting: "Mr. Amon is angry, please don't do this! ”
Medanzo made a short painful cry, and Helen opened her arms forward: "Mr. Amon, please don't punish him like this! ”
Amon put away his whip and looked angry: "Do you have heartache when I beat him? What a kind girl! … Medanzo pays for what he does, which is the consequence of his choice. ”
Aphrodite said in his heart that Amon was capable of acting, but appeared delicate: "Please listen to Mr. Aristotle and be angry again before it's too late. ”
Amon turned to Aristotle and said, "Sir, are you finished? ”
Aristotle had to go on to explain: "Girl Helen, who is kind, considers herself also responsible and does not want to sue Medanzo, just comes to ask you and me to do justice. ”
Amon asked, "So what do you think should be done to punish Medanzo? ”
Aristotle thought: "Medanzo is a noble samurai and, if Miss Helen does not object, according to the practice of the Macedonian state of the city, a representative of the citizens can be called to vote on ceramics to decide whether or not to expel him as an undesirable figure. ”
The term "ceramic vote" shall mean a vote by secret ballot in which each person sends a ceramic sheet at the time of the meeting, drawing a symbol of support or consent thereon. This practice was first introduced in the state of Aaron and later spread to various parts of Hitton.
Medanzo forcibly stays in Helen's room at night, and Helen is a guest of Prince Alexander, and Medanzo does so disrespectfully to the Kingdom of Macedonia. Aristotle was referring to the usual practice of punishing an aristocrat, which was not very severe, but if Medanzo was expelled in this way, and Medanzo was brought about by Amon, then Amon would probably not be able to stay.
Amon said with hatred: "He's not welcome anywhere, I wish he'd disappeared from the world sooner!... Medanzo, let me ask you, did you open the door or did she open it? ”
Metazzo: “I pushed open the door. ”
Amon: “Did you or did she take the initiative? ”
MEDANZO: “I also took the initiative. ”
Amon: “Did she say no? ”
Medanzo: “I said ‘no’ a few times, but I didn't say I didn't want to...”
Amon: “Nothing, but! Who's closing the door? ”
Metazzo: “It was she who closed the door. ”
Amon also said to Aristotle: "In that case, I have another suggestion to punish Medanzo, I wonder if it's okay? ”
Aristotle hastened: “I just said one of the commonly used punishments, if Mr. Amon has any suggestions, please say so. ”
Amon thought about it and said, "Whatever you do to punish Medanzo, be fair to Miss Helen, and who can judge our punishment? ”
Helen finally couldn't bear to say, “I've invited someone, and her ruling will be fair. ”
It was surprising that Helen had invited a man to “rule” in the presence of Amon and Aristotle. At this time, the people in the courtyard looked at the door, because one person came in, as if suddenly appearing from the void and walking past the courtyard door.
Whoever sees a man walking with his eyes closed will be surprised as if he can see everything clearly. But this “little thing" doesn't make Amon lose her color, it's a woman in her 20s, and Amon saw her face change slightly and stood up and stared at her face.
