Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 299: who I am

Views:

This question is very interesting, Zeus is of course Zeus, Amon has recognized it. But he was thinking about something else. The face of Zeus was different from the King Leoni of Kibata he saw last time. Did this god himself come to the world to watch a show, or did he behead someone else? What about avatars? Or just change a different identity and wander around in the world? What does such an identity mean to the gods

The achievements of Zeus and Amon are similar, but his breakthrough achievement is much earlier than Amon, and he has mastered more profoundly and proficiently, comprehended more mysteries, and reached the state of having sufficient means.

The so-called incarnation through the ages is not as simple as casually changing one's appearance or changing one's identity. If this is the case, even some ninth-level divine envoys can do it. When it comes to Zeus' achievement, its meaning is completely different. Vincent Bu paraphrased the words of Wuliangguang—"Thinking is dependent origination", so gods like Amon can only appear incarnations when they have thoughts, and each incarnation is unique, representing the vows of the gods , thinking, and the proofs that must be experienced in this capacity.

In the myths and legends of the United Kingdom of Heaton, Zeus was in love with women and grass in the world, and it is said that he had many children. The gods are a detached existence. The blood relationship between the gods in the myths of Tianshu Continent is actually a kind of inheritance relationship between the guide and the guided. But the myth is a bit puzzling when it comes to Zeus, and it might be true.

Amon thought of Ge Lie back then. Ge Lie had never married in Hatti Kingdom and lived a pure life, but if Ge Lie left offspring, it is not impossible. Anu came to the world to become Gelie with the rebirth of his soul, which is an attempt to surpass the achievements of the Creator God. It is difficult to say whether this attempt is a success or a failure.

Like Amon, Zeus took another path. He opened up the kingdom of Olympus, and he was able to freely leave the kingdom of heaven and come to the world, and merged with the kingdom of the original gods. So far, there is no obvious difference between Amon's path and Zeus's. But the gods of Olympus seem to be deeply involved in the world. This Zeus came to the world again and again, sometimes it may be the god himself, and sometimes it may be the incarnation of the world.

What kind of existence does a god like him come to the world, what kind of method should he use to prove what? These are exactly the questions that Amon was thinking about on the road. He himself also walked in the world and was a driver.

In contemplation, Amon drove into the city-state of Midori, one of the oldest city-states in the United Kingdom of Heaton, and the birthplace of civilization and the economic and commercial center of the Heaton Peninsula, but after the Hippo War, it The important position of the city has been replaced by the Yalun city-state, and Midori has also joined the Yalun League.

Aesop entered this once-familiar city-state. Sixty years later, he no longer recognizes many places, but the outline of the city-state's streets still remains. He let Amon drive the carriage to stop in front of a mansion, lifted the curtain and got out of the car and sighed: "This old mansion has been repaired, but it is still the same building, and the statue in front of the door is still from sixty years ago."

The doorkeeper came over and asked, "Are you here to visit my master? Why did you park the carriage here?"

Aesop asked: "Who is your master?"

The servant replied, "It's Master Reid Ackerman, and this house belongs to him. But the master is not in the city, and has gone to a manor outside the city to collect rent."

Aesop's expression was a little excited, but he still asked as calmly as possible: "Master Red Ackerman? Is his father's name Ross Ackerman?"

The servant replied somewhat strangely: "Yes, I have heard of the name of the master's father, how did you know it, and why did you come here?"

Aesop pointed to a sign hanging on the courtyard door and asked, "Is Red Ackerman going to sell this house?"

The servant suddenly realized: "Are you here to buy a house? Master Ackerman offered two hundred gold coins. As long as you are willing to pay this price, you can register with the City-State Property Office and get the deed. This house is yours."

Aesop said: "Why did Red Ackerman sell this house?"

The servant scratched the back of his head and said: "I'm just a servant at the gate, and I don't know too well. I heard that the harvest of the manor is not very good. Master Ackerman has another new house, and he wants to sell both the old house and the farm. Then buy a ship and go into business. Most of the gentlemen who have made a fortune in the war recently think so."

Aesop frowned slightly: "Of course you can make money by doing business, but you can't let go of the farm of your ancestors. If the city-state has no property, what will you use to trade? Everyone goes to business, whose money will they make?"

The servant was obviously very talkative, and said with a smile, "Of course it is to make money from those foreigners. As for the farms, mines, and workshops, let others run them. The gentlemen want to make big money, quick money, and other people's money."

Aesop asked again: "If people in this city-state don't pay attention to production and only think about the prosperity of trade, once the prosperity is no longer, they will be in trouble. Trade itself is just exchanging what each other needs, and merchants can profit from it, but If you ignore the fundamentals, this city-state can only rely on the property of foreign countries to support it, and it will not prosper for long."

The servant scratched the back of his head again and said, "I'm just a gatekeeper. What you said is something adults need to consider. Now that Midori has joined the Yalun Alliance, the alliance is very powerful and can guarantee trade status... that's far away. , Are you here to buy a house? I can take you in and have a look. If you want to buy it, Master Ackerman will come back before dark, and you can talk to him in detail."

Aesop smiled and said: "This is my father's house. My name is Aesop Ackerman. I haven't mentioned this surname for many years."

The gatekeeper was taken aback, turned around and stared at Aesop with wide eyes, and said, "You are also from the Ackerman family? Why have I never heard of your name?"

Aesop explained: "My father's name is Saines Ackerman, Ross Ackerman's brother and Red Ackerman's uncle. He was a businessman who died at sea sixty years ago. , I survived by luck. This house belonged to my father, and I grew up here, but I didn’t expect it to still exist and still belong to the Ackerman family. If I’m a step late, I’m afraid it will be sold to someone else.”

The gatekeeper was stunned and said: "This, this, this... Can you prove all this? Well, even if you are Master Aesop-Ackerman, this is still your housework, and I am not a servant who can intervene. Red The master is not here, are you going to wait for him here?"

At this time, Mei Danzuo had already opened the courtyard door, turned to Aesop and said, "Master, please!"

Aesop walked into the old house, smiled and said to the gatekeeper: "You are a good gatekeeper, don't worry, if I take back the house, I will still hire you as the gatekeeper."

Red Ackerman has a larger, more grand mansion in Midori City, which has been evacuated, leaving only a cleaning maid and housekeeper, and is preparing to sell the house. Aesop arrived suddenly, and the gatekeeper did not dare to offend him without knowing the situation, but Aesop had already entered the room and sat down in the living room.

The maid asked the porter what was going on? The concierge whispered something to her, and the maid also frowned and poured water for Aesop. Aesop rewarded them with a dozen copper coins with a smile. The maid's brows widened, and she brought food for Aesop. The concierge took the opportunity to leave the house and ran to the mansion where Red Ackerman lived now to report.

Amon was like a coachman, ignoring other things, he drove the car to the stable in the front yard and stopped, and tied the horse in the stable.

Before it was dark, Red Ackerman arrived. This master did not come alone, he also brought three strong sons and a small group of soldiers patrolling the city, with an angry look on his face. He is already a nobleman now, and it was his father who inherited the legacy of his elder brother Sainz Ackerman and made contributions in the Hippo War, becoming the upstart in the city-state. Red himself is also one of the citizens' representatives in the city-state council of Midori, and his eldest son, Black, is also a minor leader in the city-state's army.

When Reid received the report from the gatekeeper, his first reaction was very angry, because Aesop had died long ago, and there had been no news for sixty years. Suddenly, a person claimed to be Aesop, the heir of Sainz-Ackerman, Must be a liar who seeks property! How could Red let the liar succeed, and then called all his sons, and Black Ackerman also brought a team of soldiers to patrol the city. If it is really a liar who wants to seize property, he will be arrested on the spot!

Amon heard the noise outside in the stable and knew what was going on, but he ignored it, while Medan Zuo stayed with Aesop in the living room. Red left the team of guards outside the yard, rushed into the living room with his three sons, and shouted at Aesop who was sitting there talking to the maid: "You liar, stand up for me!"

Aesop stood up with a smile and asked, "Who are you?"

The maid replied in a low voice: "He is Master Red Ackerman, the current owner of this house."

Aesop looked at the angry Red Ackerman, smiled and opened his arms and said, "My dear cousin, is this how you welcome a cousin who has only returned after sixty years? Don't you accept my The old man's blessing and hug?"

Reid was stunned, because Aesop's facial features did bear the characteristics of the Ackerman family, and he looked a lot like his deceased father. But Reid's eldest son, Blake Ackerman, pulled out his sword, pointed at Aesop and shouted, "You liar, don't try to pretend to be my uncle!"

Aesop smiled slightly, sat back at the table, looked at Black holding the sword and said in a calm tone: "Young man, if you have something to say clearly, what are you doing with your sword? I said my name, and you Say I'm a liar. What did I lie to you, does the identity of Aesop belong to you?"

If the old man in front of him is a liar, then this liar is quite magnanimous. Aesop has been the lord of the city for more than ten years. The city-state of Salem he established is much larger than the city-state of Midori. What scenes have you not seen? There is a sense of majesty in every gesture.

Black was still holding the sword, and said angrily: "You claim to be my uncle Aesop, don't you want to defraud the Ackerman family's property, how can you prove that you are Aesop?"

Medanzo, who had been standing by the table, took a step forward and stretched out a hand towards Black. Every movement of his figure carried a sense of coercion. Although Blake was holding the sword, he couldn't help taking a step back and said, "What do you want to do?"

Mei Danzuo opened his palm, holding three shiny flame spirits in his palm, he said in a mocking tone: "Have you understood the situation? Does my master need to lie to you about this old house?"

Reid listed this old house for sale for 200 gold coins, and with the three flame elves in Medanzo's hand, he could buy 60 such houses, which is a huge sum of money no matter where it is. Reid stepped forward and pressed his son's arm and said, "Put the sword away, so you won't be able to speak well?" Then he said to Aesop: "Old man, who are you? Could it be my cousin Aesop? ?”

Aesop sighed: "I am Aesop Ackerman. Sixty years ago, I went to sea with my father and unfortunately encountered pirates. My father was killed, and I was resold as a slave. Later, I was freed and went to the Duke Plain. So many years have passed I’m old, I’m old too, and it’s hard for me to return to my hometown, and I didn’t expect to meet my relatives in the old house.”

Red asked cautiously: "How can you prove that you are Aesop, and what is your reason for coming?"

Aesop smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sixty years, I was only sixteen years old when I left here, I am Aesop-Ackerman, but I don't know how to prove it. As for my reason for coming, it is I want to go back to my homeland.”

Reid's second son, Hunter Ackerman, was the most "smart", and immediately said, "Do you want to continue living in the old house when you come back here?"

Aesop nodded and said: "Yes, I want to completely repair this old house and live here until I die. I don't have much time in my life."

Hunter Ackerman said with a smile: "That's easy. This house is about to be sold. It was originally intended to be sold to other nobles in the city-state. If you just want to live here, you can buy it for three hundred gold coins." Next. Regardless of whether you can prove your identity or not, your wish can be granted!"

Mei Danzuo was taken aback: "Well, I just heard that it sells for 200 gold coins, why did the price increase in a blink of an eye?"

Hunter smiled and replied: "The same thing has different meanings to different people, so the value is also different."

Mei Danzuo stared at him and said, "A profiteer!"

Hunter still smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

At this time Red cleared his throat and said: "Old man, I can't confirm your identity, but you do remind me of the cousin I haven't seen for many years. Although I know he has been buried in the sea, I also hope that you It's him. I sympathize with and understand your thoughts, if you want to live in this house, I can sell it off, just like my son's suggestion."

At this moment, Reid's youngest son, Will Ackerman, pulled his father's sleeve and whispered: "This old man looks so much like a grandfather! He is so rich, he can't be a liar, maybe he is My uncle, why don't you recognize each other first?"

This sentence suddenly reminded Red that if the old man in front of him is Aesop, he obviously returned to his hometown after making a fortune. If Aesop has no heirs, then his property after death will still belong to the Ackerman family. It's nothing to recognize a rich cousin, but looking at the current posture, he still can't be sure of Aesop's purpose, and Red hesitates for a while.

Aesop ignored what he was thinking, and sat there and asked Hunter: "This is my father's house. I think when my father and your grandfather separated, the property has already been divided. I am the owner of this house." Legal heir, why did you spend money to buy my house?"

Hearing this, Reid became nervous. It seems that this old man who made a fortune in a foreign country is very stingy. The richer he is, the more he wants more money. This time he returned to his hometown, obviously to get back his ancestral grant. Inherited property. In addition to this house, Reid also occupies the farm that Aesop should have inherited, which is more than ten times more expensive than the house, so this relative cannot be easily recognized before the situation is clarified!

But Hunter still said with a smile: "Since you are so rich, why do you care about these things? The old Ackerman's house has a farm in addition to the house, which is a good place for retirement. If you like to find the feeling of returning to your hometown, we can Cut off love, and sell the farm to you. Although you can't prove your identity, you can still fulfill your wish."

Aesop shook his head and said: "It's not about money, young man, you don't understand the feelings of an old man like me. The reason why I return to my hometown is because I was born here, and this is where I came to this world. I am looking for traces of life. If I buy this house with another identity, it is tantamount to denying my own origin. If I have to deny who I am, then what is the point of returning to my homeland?"

Black said with an angry face again: "Oh, I can hear it! You insist that you are Aesop Ackerman, not only want to take this house, but also want to take away our family's farm in the name of Aesop. You It's a good idea, this city-state is law-abiding, and my father's name is written on the house deed and land deed, unless you can prove that they belong to you."

Aesop stood up, shook his head and said, "I'm looking for myself, not to take away your property. You all misunderstand what I mean, or you can't understand at all... Then do it according to your ideas, disputes like this in the city-state , should be submitted to the Citizens' Assembly for arbitration. Until a ruling is made, I will live in an inn, and the house and farm are still yours."

After speaking, Aesop took Medanzuo out the door, leaving behind the four father and son looking at each other. Amon had already harnessed the carriage, asked Aesop to get in the carriage and left here. The group of soldiers waiting outside the door didn't know what happened, and they didn't receive the order to intercept them, so they could only watch them leave.

On the way to the inn, Mei Danzuo asked: "Aesop, your relatives are very interesting, they dare not recognize you."

Aesop smiled wryly and said, "No matter who it is, a property heir who disappeared 60 years ago suddenly came here, and no one can easily recognize him without proof of identity."

Mei Danzuo shook his head and said, "But you are a very rich man, they are so stupid!"
