Chapter 5

The square was quiet for a moment, and Aristotle's words were finally summarized by the old madman - "God has proved that Amun has been granted and blessed, and learning skills is the manifestation of miracles." It's not easy to refute it unless someone comes forward and shouts, "the craftsmanship of Duke town from generation to generation does not need the blessing of the patron saint." Who dares to say that, all the people here have believed in the protection of God for many years and have been implanted into their souls.

Even if there are doubters, they can only tangle in secret and repent in the uncertain state, because once they say it, they will be abandoned by all the people around them. So it's not a question of whether you are willing to believe, but you have to express your piety, which is also protecting yourself.

Seeing that there was no one to speak, the old madman turned his head to Aristotle and said, "Sir, your argument just now contains many dangerous assumptions. Do you realize that?"

Aristotle saw Nietzsche's eyes, and there was a sneer in the old man's eyes. Only Aristotle understood in his mind that if he changed his syllogism to a major premise, it would indeed draw a dangerous conclusion. For example, the child did not get the patronage of the patron saint, but he learned the miner's skill, which means that the patron saint's grace is not needed to learn the miner's skill.

The onlookers felt something was wrong, but they couldn't point out what was wrong. That's why. No one dares to deny the Oracle, because that is the starting point of everything, and must be the major premise. But when the old madman asked Aristotle, he obviously implied something.

Amun has been standing stubbornly, and now his body can not help shaking again. He turns his head and looks at Aristotle with a look of gratitude, but also looks at the old madman puzzled. Different from others, amon obviously heard the implication of the old madman. Nietzsche was not only asking Aristotle in question, but it also seemed to remind him of something.

Amun's mind is no less than when he was asked by Xiao Gu. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. This debate contains many assumptions that people can't believe and can't say. For example, Mu Yun doesn't exist, Mu Yun doesn't care about it, he doesn't need the blessing of the guardian God to learn miner's skills, and maybe if he needs blessing It could be another God Wait, wait, wait.

Amun's face turned red, just like he was drunk, and he was in a trance. For the miner's son, it was really hard to digest so much in a moment. Today, however, he is the party to this incident and has to think about it.

Aristotle seemed to understand Nietzsche's sneer, put his hand on his chest and said with a smile: "I am not disrespectful to any God. The piety to gods comes from what we want, not what we ask for. People should be devout in faith, but the existence of God is not transferred by one's will. "

He was very clever to avoid this kind of interrogation, and the old madman did not continue to pester him. Instead, he turned around and said coldly to Xiao Gu, "there is only one explanation for this matter, that is, your behavior has damaged the glory of Goddess Mu Yun, and the goddess has not blessed Amun through you, the priest. We all know that the glory of the goddess is eternal, but the loyalty of the priest is to be tested Look, mayor, what should we do with this priest, since everyone is here? "

Xiao Gu's face turned pale with a brush, cold sweat flowed down from his forehead, and his legs trembled. He did not expect that the situation would change so rapidly that he became himself in the face of criticism. The old Madman's words clearly questioned whether he still had the qualification to continue to serve as a priest. He clearly read two words from the old Madman's eyes - cold!

However, the mayor of Dusti on one side did not speak, and watched the excitement with a cold eye.

Xiao Gu's days in Duke town have been so long that he gradually forgets how he was the first to take this seat. At the beginning, everything was thanks to the help of the old madman. The old madman said, "you are a very straightforward person, and you are also very smart. What's more, your humanity in the secular world is very real. There is no one else in this town who is more suitable to be the priest and scribe of the temple than you."

But Xiao Gu had been sitting in this seat for a long time, and gradually made friends with the noble adults in the city-state. He even had a secret wild hope for the position of mayor dasty, but he ignored the old madman who had never shown up for many years. The old madman is so sharp when he doesn't talk crazy. Does this mean to ruin his future in public? Just like helping him sit in this seat?

Xiao Gu stepped back and said in a loud voice: "Oh, Mr. Nietzsche, it seems that this is a complete misunderstanding. I didn't know that you had been instructed by the great goddess Mu Yun in your dream. Although this is rare, it is not unprecedented. According to the book of God, when there was no temple in Duke Town, goddess Mu Yun directly blessed the earliest craftsmen in the town, and taught us the skills handed down from generation to generation Amun, he is a child favored by the goddess

Xiao Guyi threw out the records of God books in a hurry. This is also the legend of Duke town since ancient times. It explains the origin of craftsmanship here. Later, people built the grand temple according to such legend. It was many, many years ago. It doesn't matter whether to deal with Amun now. Xiao Gu should first keep himself.

The mayor of dasty finally spoke, nodded with a smile: "yes, there is such a record in the book of God Mr. Aristotle, you said you were here to do something for Lord Dick. What's the matter? Don't delay because of our quarrel. "The mayor obviously wanted to interrupt. Aristotle replied, "Miss Maria, no, Lord Maria is not well, and the servant who serves her happens to be ill. We need to find a servant in the town to serve Lord Maria, who can do heavy work for about three days."

Dusty was a little puzzled. He thought to himself, how could he find a servant in the town with so many attendants? But he was very witty and said nothing more. He asked gently, "what kind of person do you need to find?"

Aristotle looked at Amun carelessly and said, "first, it can't be a woman who has ever had a man; second, he can't be an adult man; third, he can't have gray on his hair and mud in his fingernails."

"Fourth, he should have a pure heart; fifth, he should be favored and recognized by Isis." Aristotle had just finished speaking, and the old madman added two more. Today, he said a lot.

Aristotle was stunned slightly, and then nodded with a bitter smile: "yes, there are still these two. Are there such people in the town? If there is one gold coin a day, Lord Dick's generosity is admirable

Dasty understood Aristotle's three conditions. If Maria's former servant was ill, it would be very difficult for master Dick's entourage to find such a person. These are actually Gabriel's demands. When she gets the tears of the gods, she asks Maria to live according to the standards of a saint, because she will soon become a real saint.

Gabriel put forward five conditions, but Aristotle only said the first three, because for the residents of Duke Town, the latter two conditions are the same whether they say it or not. They are afraid that no one can be found. Unexpectedly, the old madman has made up for it.

The residents of Duke town usually deal with fire and ore. in recent days, the mayor of Duke town ordered to pay all taxes in arrears in this season, and a large number of caravans came to the town, and every family was working on the fire, either to pay taxes or to mine sacred stones in time for more commodities.

It's too hard to find a man with no grey hair and no mud in his nails. There are only three people in the square: dasti, Xiaogu and Amun. Amun was very clean. He had just bathed in the cold spring at night. He even washed his clothes together. Then he dried them in the early morning sun and returned to the town after getting dressed.

The old madman laughed: "it's lucky that we have and only one person here who meets your requirements. He is a child, not yet an adult, and you know why he is standing here because of the patronage of Isis Amun, you go with this gentleman This gentleman, please pay three gold coins to his father

The mayor also stepped down the steps, patted Amun on the shoulder and said, "son, follow this gentleman quickly. Everything should be done according to his instructions. Don't neglect the most distinguished guest in this town."

The crowd split a path, and Aristotle took amon away. Before he left, Amun helped up his father who was kneeling on the ground. The old madman whispered in his ear: "don't worry, there are only good things and no bad things. You don't have to worry about here any more."

After Amun left, the crowd did not disperse. The old madman still stood at the front of the town and said, "the temple priest proved that Amun had no fault with the ancient god book, and was blessed by Mu Yun. But it also proved that the priesthood forgot the instruction of the book of God and was blinded by his soul. If our distinguished guests hadn't reminded us, Lord Xiaogu would have cut off one of his fingers. What should be done with this, my lord mayor and Mr. high priest? "

Xiao Gu's cold sweat just dried up again. I didn't expect that the old madman was so cruel today. If he stuck to this question and spread it to the ears of the priests in the temple of the Lord of the city, he would not feel well. Aunt Xiao stepped forward in a voice of almost entreaty and said, "it was my negligence. I have never encountered such a thing since I became a priest. Thank you, Mr. Nietzsche, the elder, for reminding me that I am willing to make atonement for my reckless behavior. Here I apologize to Amun."

The noble priest also went down the steps and even bent down to pat the dust on Amun's father's knee. The townspeople's eyes widened. This made Amun's father tremble. He quickly stepped back two steps and said, "Lord Xiaogu, you don't have to be like this. What to do is the matter of adults and the instruction of the goddess. I believe the great goddess Mu Yun is protecting Amun."

But the old madman sneered, "you can't refuse the kindness of such a noble priest. How kind and generous he is! If he wants to compensate you, you must accept it The mayor of the town, I suggest that the tax of their family should be paid by Lord Xiao Gu for this year. "

Xiao Gu had already stood up straight, and immediately nodded his head and said, "OK, no problem!" His tone is very generous, because the old drunkard mines almost the least sacred stones in the town in a year, which is usually only four sacred stones for basic taxation. But then he frowned, and he thought that it was not only the old drunkard who could exploit the sacred stones, but Amun was obviously a good hand. If there happened to be a lot of sacred stones mined in the next year, he would have to pay taxes on nine out of every ten stones, which was also a big expense.

But in this case, Xiao Gu had to agree.

The mayor of dasty nodded and said, "then the matter is over. I will record it in the name of the mayor of this town, but it is just a record. I will not report it to the temple of the city as a blasphemy. Well, it's all right here. Let's break up. "This is tantamount to holding Xiao Gu's hand. The mayor of dasti wants to make a record and declare that he will not report it. However, the implication is that he can report it. Xiao Gu, as a temple priest, violates the oracle. The story is very detailed and there are witnesses. The mayor of dasti also vaguely knows that Xiao Gu has deliberately made friends with the adults in the city-state for the past two years, and has some ideas about the mayor's position. But now is not the time to tear his face. After all, there is no more suitable person to help deal with the affairs in the town. So take the opportunity to give him a proper warning.
