Chapter 296

Just after Aristotle left the city of Yalun, the envoys of the Persian Empire also arrived. They put new pressure on the military and political officials of the city of Yalun and threatened: "if you unite with Macedonian to betray Boz, then Boz will fully support kibata and completely destroy Yalun! You are far away from Macedon, but closer to gibada! Please don't forget that it was you who made the decision to ask for help from borz. Why do you break faith now? You will be punished by the gods for this

The city states of Yalun agreed to form an alliance with Macedonian. In fact, they would rather sell the interests of the hitton Peninsula to potz in the distance in exchange for the hegemony, rather than yield to Macedonian on the hitton peninsula. Under the threat of the Boz people and the new promise, Yalun changed his mind and decided not to let the treaty come into force, so he sent Merlin, the high priest, to assassinate the mission.

This is a top secret operation. Whether it is successful or not, the identity of the assassin can not be revealed. So Merlin took two warriors, three magistrates, twenty-four elite soldiers, and dressed as kibadas. The lineup was more than enough to get rid of Aristotle's mission, and it was thoughtful. Unfortunately, they failed.

Not only were they lost, but they were all captured alive; they were not only caught alive, but also recognized by people who marched openly with their hands tied; they were not only recognized, but also watched all the way from afar. The worst that imaginations can think of, all happened! Is this the punishment of the gods? What you fear most is everything.

As an assassin who was caught by mistake, a bound great magician walked thousands of miles with other prisoners and suffered indescribable humiliation. At the beginning, Merlin wanted to die of shame and anger, and the resentment in his heart was indescribable. But along the way, he was surrounded too many times, and he had to calm down and gradually realized that this was the end he deserved.

Jaron betrayed the covenant and went against Israel. He even wanted to kill the Macedonian mission. This kind of despicable act was originally disgraceful. Otherwise, these assassins would not dare to reveal their identities. He is the commander of the assassination operation, and now the result is his own fault. What reason does the person he assassinate have to cover up for him?

Merlin was numb, like a walking corpse, but when Aristotle's motorcade was assassinated for a second time, his mind was churning and he thought more. The main target of the reinforcements sent from the city of Yalun was not Aristotle's mission, but their captured prisoners. The great warrior moyley scolded the commander of the second group of assassins, and was scolded by medanzo. Merlin listened but said nothing.

After entering the Macedonian city-state, Merlin became calm. He knew that he could not return to Yaron to serve. Even if he was redeemed as a prisoner, he did not intend to go back. In terms of personal glory and city-state credibility, this experience was a disgrace.

When he was placed in a comfortable residence, King Philip II of markington came to "interrogate" himself, Merlin simply said everything, and then calmly asked, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with me? Do you want to take my head as a flag and launch a large army to punish the Yalun people? "

Philip II replied, "the city of yalen is in the process of self destruction, and the entire hitton Peninsula, including the yalans, needs to be saved by the gods. From the moment you are caught by mistake, your personal mission is over. From the moment you are assassinated by the second group of assassins, you have been abandoned by Yalun. God has given you a chance to choose again. Would you like to be loyal to Macedonian? I will not kill you. If you refuse my request, I will let you go back. "

Merlin considered only a few breathing times, and then rose to salute and pledge allegiance to Macedonian. In addition to him, the great warrior Moyle and others also submit to Macedonian because of their own consideration. As long as they are still alive and don't want to abandon themselves, they must wash away their shame through achievements and glory. Philip II gave them the best advice: "I don't want you to attack yalen, and in the future, fight the Boz on the battlefield."

Philip II was willing to accept these captives patiently, on the one hand, to show the ambition and magnanimity of a monarch, on the other hand, it was also related to the oracle of Zeus. The Oracle did not say who was very important to the kingdom of Macedonian, and Philip II had to be careful.

After dealing with the prisoners, Philip II inquired carefully about the journey of Essen, the head of the guard of the mission. He was very interested in the affairs of Amun and medanzo, and asked his staff to investigate. The results shocked him deeply.

Of course, the intelligence system of a kingdom can know much more than what one usually sees and hears. When Philip II saw all kinds of materials mentioned by his staff, he knew who Amun was, but he couldn't believe that Aristotle brought back gods from other lands!

Amun's identity is both special and embarrassing. He is not a god believed by the hittons, but came to Macedonian as Aristotle's friend and entourage. This determined that Philip II could not visit him as he did to the gods, nor could he listen to him as he listened to the oracle. But Philip II was a king and had never seen a God. He was very eager to see Amun, but he didn't know how to meet him.

Philip II hesitated for several days and finally called Aristotle to the palace for private consultation. Aristotle said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you can't receive him like you did to a God, but you are afraid of being blamed by the gods for your impoliteness?"Philip II nodded: "yes, he is not the God I believe in, but after all, he is a God."

Aristotle asked again, "Your Majesty, do you know how we should get along with the gods and how we should treat them?"

Philip II moved his buttocks forward from his chair, leaned forward and said, "Sir, please tell me!"

In Aristotle's view, the true self is the realization of God's self. The world we can perceive is imperfect. All kinds of life have imperfect thoughts and desires, and all living beings may feel God more or less

Philip II shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't understand."

Aristotle said with a smile: "let's talk about Amun. He is a friend I knew in my early years, a child who grew up in Duke Town, a retired general of eju, and a tourist who has come to Macedonian. The man you're going to meet is him. He's not perfect in this world. How he exists depends on the purpose he came to the world. His Majesty's desire to see him depends on his Majesty's purpose. You can do it in your own way, as long as it is reasonable. "

Philip II nodded and said, "Oh, I see. Thank you, sir."

The next day, Philip II ordered Aristotle to be granted a reward, and held a private banquet in the palace. At the same time, two heroes who helped the mission on the way were invited to attend. Philip II wanted to express the gratitude of the kingdom of Macedonian to his face. Amun and medanzo followed Aristotle to the palace, and Philip II finally saw the gods.

If Philip II didn't know Amun's identity, as king, he would just sit there waiting for the valet's announcement, but now he personally met him at the door of the banquet hall. Aristotle came with Amun and medanzo and introduced the two "Heroes" to the king. Amun naturally bowed to Philip II.

Philip II quickly stepped forward to stop: "two heroes, don't be polite. Today is a special banquet to thank you."

After taking part in the banquet, the king offered a toast and Amun raised his glass calmly. Philip II had a lot of questions in mind, but the first thing he said was, "Mr. Amun, you have been to many places. Why did you come to Macedonian?"

Amen replied, "I came to see Mr. Aristotle on the hitton Peninsula, so I came."

Philip II asked again, "how do you view the situation here and the future of the kingdom of Macedonian when you come to the peninsula?"

Amun laughed, looked at Philip II and said, "it's up to you, not to me. I would like to ask, what is your Majesty's vision for the future of the kingdom of Macedonia? "

Philip II replied, "my idea is to unite the whole of the hitton peninsula into a united alliance, which was the reason why the Persian attacks were defeated. And now, because of the hitton civil strife, Boz will make a comeback. "

Amun said with a smile: "in fact, both Yalun and kibata have this idea, but if they use the wrong means, they are doomed to fail. You have the hope to realize your vow, but there are many enemies on this road. If the day comes, you will find that it is not the end of desire

Philip II sighed: "the vow is not easy to achieve, but no matter how many enemies there are, I will try my best to do it. If there is a day, I will talk about other things, I am not a God, I can not learn more."

However, Amun shook his head and said, "I used to think that the human vow is not simple, so it is not easy to realize. Later, I found that the simplest vow is the most difficult. There are always more desires driving people forward Your majesty, I admire your courage and ambition and wish you good luck

Then there were a lot of topics about military affairs, politics and the situation of the mainland countries, which did not go beyond the scope of human affairs. On the contrary, medanzo said the most. Amun did not embarrass Philip II, let alone disrespect the king and the gods he believed in. He was very calm and natural. Whether it was a God or not, he was the Amun.

Perhaps because of this, Philip II felt uncomfortable, and the king was even slightly uncomfortable. His heart is not disrespectful to Amun, but subconsciously does not want to get along with Amun face to face, because this feeling is not very good. Amun always looked straight into his eyes when he spoke. His eyes seemed to be able to see through his soul, which made a monarch quite uncomfortable.

Who would look at him like that? Who would talk to him like that? Philip II would rather sacrifice and kneel to the statue on the altar than drink with a "mortal" subconsciously. Amun did not deliberately put on the airs of the gods, not to be arrogant. He just said a few words, but let Philip II, who received the praise of the people, felt a little uneasy.

On behalf of the people to sacrifice to the gods, it also means to have the supreme glory given by the gods in the world. It is totally different from the feeling that the gods are sitting at a table drinking, and they dare not breathe and feel uncomfortable.

At the end of the banquet, Philip II delivered the guests to the Palace door in person, which was a sigh of relief. Amun did not ask for more, and Philip II could not make any special arrangements. He still lived in Aristotle's house with amon. He didn't want to see the God again, but he couldn't put it down in his heart. So he ordered his son Alexander to come to Aristotle's house to consult the teacher.Aristotle was Alexander's court teacher. He taught Alexander all kinds of knowledge. Of course, all the places before were in the palace. The time depends on Alexander's convenience. But now the situation has changed. Philip II specially ordered his son to go to Aristotle's house every day to listen to the teachings, and secretly told him the identity of Amun.

It is not difficult to understand that Philip II would do this. Amun is a God after all, with abilities and secrets that ordinary people don't know. Although Philip II didn't believe in Amun, there was a God in Macedonian. How could he not let his son get some light and gain some benefits? As for what he can get from the gods, it is up to Alexander himself.

Aristotle, of course, knew the king's caution, but never pointed it out. From that day on, the place for teaching Alexander was changed to Aristotle's house. Alexander came every day, sometimes to study, sometimes to greet his teacher. After Aristotle finished his class, he let the prince play in the mansion at will. He could go to anyone he wanted.

In amon's opinion, Aristotle may be the best teacher of hitton, and Philip II has a good eye for him. But Alexander, the student, does not think so. He is the son of Philip II and the future successor of the kingdom of Macedonian. We can say that he has everything he wants and can learn according to his own interests. He is not a young miner in Duke town.

Alexander's nature was active, and he was fond of martial arts, but he did not like to learn literature. Aristotle was a pedantic old scholar in his eyes. Out of respect for his teacher, the prince often tried to learn all kinds of knowledge, but only to cope with the task. He only hoped to finish the course quickly so that he could go out riding and hunting, or summon guards to practice in the army.

But now Alexander changed his temper under his father's Secret instructions. He had never been so diligent in asking questions. He went to the teacher's house every day to ask for advice. He was also disciplined in reading and listening. Of course, the young prince's happiest time was after he finished his study. He not only saw the true gods in the legend, but also got acquainted with medanzo.
