"It's you?" Amon asked in a deep voice.
"It's me." The woman replied lightly.
Seeing her appearance, one could guess that the person who came was a god, and seeing her eyes closed, Amon could guess that she was Themis, the god of fairness and justice in the Olympus pantheon. But these were not enough to surprise Amon and even make him lose his composure. This goddess looks very beautiful. Although she is not as charming as Helen, she is also gorgeous and dignified. Amon actually recognized her—I saw her in the human world a long time ago!
Themis, the goddess of fairness and justice in the Olympian pantheon, is not one of the twelve main gods today. But Themis' status is not lower than that of Apollo, Yalena, Aphrodite and others. In myths and legends, she is the second wife of Zeus, the father of the gods, besides Hera.
In human myths and legends, Themis sits next to Zeus among the gods of heaven, and she is the arbiter of the differences among the gods. Of course, the myths in the world are not the same as the actual situation in the kingdom of heaven. People just deconstruct and deduce them in the way they can understand. But just because there are such myths circulating in the world, some things that happened may not make Zeus happy, but they can't say anything about Amon.
In fact, Themis' status is because of who she is. Zeus defeated the original god of the world, Unos, and created his own Olympus heaven through fusion, and most of the gods of Olympus are still there. Themis is the representative of the ancient gods before the war of the gods. These gods are neutral in the war of the gods and still have great strength.
Zeus achieved the so-called "God of the Gods", and Themis, the ancient god of fairness and justice, also hoped to prove higher achievements. Mortal status to have newer perceptions. At that time, she was born in the outskirts of Ecumenfeis, the daughter of a farmer, her name was Themis Fei.
The first time Amon met her was in a luxurious brothel in Memphis City. At that time, Themis was famous for her glamorous beauty and was known as the flower of Memphis. She fell into prostitution to avenge her father who was framed and died wrongly. Amon, who was a general at the time, made a big fuss about Memphis, avenged Themis, and redeemed her from the brothel. up.
Later, Themis Fei and Amon's disciple John became a pair of lovers, and they also received the guidance of the original power. Later, in the battle between the city of Salem and the giant army of the Assyrian Empire, John died unfortunately. Although Themis Fei knew that John could not be saved, she rushed into the enemy line and died on the battlefield.
When Themis Fei was killed in battle, Amon was not there, but healed his wounds in the eternity of immortality. At that time, he had just become a god. If Amon was present, he might or might not have discovered anything, because his realm was actually far worse than Themis Fei at that time.
But if Amon was in the Olympus heaven at that time, he would have known clearly that Themis, the goddess of fairness and justice, had returned to the heaven after some human cultivation. There is only one syllable suffix difference in the pronunciation of Themis Fei and Themis, which can be regarded as a mysterious coincidence.
When Amon saw this god with his own eyes, he touched the mark in his soul and recognized her. He was surprised and a little excited, and asked in a deep voice: "Since it's you, why don't you open your eyes and look at me?"
Themis still closed her eyes, and replied in a calm tone: "Closing my eyes is not blind, I just don't want to see the face and identity of the contender, I don't waver for selfishness, I don't get tempted, I don't fear strength. As an arbitrator, I It’s always been like this when you’re in the middle of nowhere.”
The external appearance of the gods is her inner state of mind. Themis has already expressed her attitude. Helen asked her to be an arbitrator, but she didn't ask who the disputants were. Amon nodded and said, "I believe your ruling will be fair, so please listen to my suggestion to punish Medan Zuo."
Themis said blankly, "Say."
Amon pointed to Medanzuo and Helen, and said to Themis: "Since you are the arbiter, I don't need to explain what happened. I just want to ask Miss Helen, in what capacity is she requesting me and Aris?" Dodd give her justice?"
Themis said to Helen, "Girl, please answer yourself."
Helen replied: "The me standing here is an ordinary woman who came to Macedonia from afar, and I also came here at the invitation of Prince Alexander."
Amon stroked the back of his hand lightly and said: "It's easy to handle! As far as I know, His Royal Highness once blessed you and Mei Danzuo, of course you can accept this blessing or not, this is just His Royal Highness attitude. You once said to Medanzo that he is your hero; and Medanzo also told me that a girl like Helen is like the girl of her dreams. So now, I tell Medanzo Zuo's punishment is to let him officially marry you."
Mei Danzuo's legs went limp, and he couldn't sit on the ground. If Helen is Helen, Amon's suggestion is of course no problem, and Medan Zuo will not be unwilling. But now knowing that Helen has malicious intentions and wants to drive a wedge between Amon and the Kingdom of Macedonia, and her identity is the God of Love and Beauty in the Olympus pantheon, if Medanzuo wants to marry her, then she is looking for death mean.
Aristotle's expression on the side was a little weird. This honest elder wanted to laugh, but he tried his best to hold back, nodded and said: "That's right! How can we always think things are bad, as long as Miss Helen If you want, this is the best ending!"
Mei Danzuo hurriedly interjected, "Sir, I..."
Amon shouted loudly: "What are you? Now it's the verdict and how to punish you, just listen honestly!"
Helen interjected again: "Of course this suggestion is acceptable, but..."
Amon waved his hand again and interrupted her words: "Miss Helen, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet, my suggestion will definitely be fair to you. Medanzuo is a nobleman, a noble warrior, His identity has also been recognized in the Kingdom of Macedonia. If he is allowed to officially marry you, I will ask King Philip II to grant you a noble status and title."
Alexander quickly nodded and said, "No, no problem, this matter is on me!"
The young prince was very clever, and when he saw Themis walk into the courtyard in that way, he vaguely guessed the identities of Helen and Themis. Helen once said that she was from the city-state of Cyprus, and Aphrodite was the patron saint of Cyprus. Such a beautiful girl might very well be the god of love and beauty herself.
Themis suddenly appeared from the void and stepped into the gate of the courtyard. She should be a god, and most likely the legendary goddess of fairness and justice. Helen's ability to invite this goddess to be the arbiter is equivalent to revealing her own identity. Alexander realized that this was a dispute between gods and spirits, so he stood by the side obediently without breathing, and only then cautiously interjected.
Aphrodite did not expect that Amon would make such a decision and directly "sell" the disciples. He really has the guts to let his envoy marry the God of Love and Beauty of the Olympian pantheon, isn't he afraid of offending the entire Olympian pantheon? Although there was nothing wrong with this suggestion, Aphrodite did not expect Amon to bring it up.
Helen blinked her eyes and said: "Thank you, Mr. Amon, thank you, Your Highness. I came to Macedonia to find a hero in my heart. I am also responsible for what happened yesterday. I am willing to marry Medanzuo. But Medanzuo If he marries me, he will stay in Macedonia forever, become a subject of Macedonia, and own the faith of this place."
She was making things difficult on purpose - if Medanzuo married Helen, he had to be a Heatonian and believe in the gods of the Heatonians.
Amon smiled and shook his head and said: "Good girl, you are wrong! Medanzo is a warrior of Baron, a general of Eju, a hero of Salem, and a distinguished guest of Macedonia. No matter what the customs or laws of any place , to marry a wife is to marry a wife. Once you marry him, you must serve him as a wife, and you must manage the housework to bear children for him. You are not allowed to leave the city-state without your husband’s permission. Because you have just answered To answer my question, your identity is either someone else or Miss Helen... Mr. Aristotle, you are the most profound scholar here, am I right?"
Aristotle smiled and said: "No matter which country's customs and laws are like this, Macedonia is no exception. This is a common thing in the world. But Mr. Amon, you haven't finished talking, please continue. May Dan Zuo is your disciple, and now you have made a decision from the perspective of justice, and you still need to express your attitude."
Amon nodded and said, "Yes, if Helen decides to marry Metatron, she must obey her husband's beliefs and respect her elders. And I will treat her fairly and treat her as my disciple... The arbitrator, please make a ruling, is such a decision fair?"
Helen waved her hand and said, "Slow down!"
Amon frowned slightly: "Do you want to object?"
Helen: "Yes, I object! This should ask for my consent."
Amon smiled: "Yes, we should ask for your consent. We can't force your family to give Medanzo. This is just a suggestion to solve this matter. Let the arbitrator you invited decide whether it is fair. If you refuse , it is because of your kindness that you no longer pursue Mei Danzuo's responsibility. As for the cause and effect of the matter, I think you and the arbitrator are well aware."
At this time, Themis suddenly opened his eyes. Medan Zuo, who had been secretly looking at her, asked in surprise, "Our arbiter, why did you open your eyes?"
Themis replied: "When I open my eyes, it means that there is no need to make a judgment. Amon's suggestion is fair, but it puts me in a dilemma, so I have to open my eyes."
Helen and Mei Danzuo, both unmarried and unmarried, have good feelings for each other, no matter whether the good feelings are genuine or deliberately pretended, there is no flaw on the surface. Mei Danzuo didn't break into Helen's room by breaking the door. Helen's previous actions all meant that she accepted this hero.
From the point of view of a mortal, Amon asked Metanzor to officially marry Helen, and asked the Kingdom of Macedonia to grant Helen the status of a nobleman, no matter who decides, it would be fair. Helen could agree, or she had the right to refuse, but in fact Helen had already agreed just now, but took the opportunity to make things difficult for Amon. But Amon was also ruthless enough, directly following the customs of the world, he had to treat Helen like a disciple.
If Helen is Helen, there is no problem with the conditions proposed by Amon, but what should Aphrodite do? Does she want to leave the Olympus pantheon and join the Kingdom of Angels? She has only one choice, and that is to disappear from the world as soon as possible.
Why didn't Themis want to make a verdict? Amon's suggestion is fair in the world, but in fact it is unfair to Medanzo, because Helen is a god and can disappear at any time and return to the Olympus heaven.
Helen turned around and asked, "Themis, don't you make judgments anymore?"
Themis also spoke bluntly: "Aphrodite, this is a farce. You are stupid to think you are smart. It is unfair for you to tease Medanzo as a god. Last night Things, Helen as a mortal does not exist. You go, get out of here, this is the suggestion I made when I opened my eyes."
The two goddesses called each other's names and revealed their identities. Alexander quickly knelt down, and Aristotle also got up to salute. Mei Danzuo had a strange expression on his face, and he didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh. Amon stood still, just watching quietly.
Aphrodite glared at Themis, but couldn't say anything, and stomped her feet and disappeared. Themis didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the courtyard door, just like when she came.
Amon shouted behind her: "It was so hard to meet, I finally recognized you, why don't we chat for a while?"
Themis stopped, and without looking back, she replied indifferently: "Amon, the flower of Memphis doesn't know her origin, it's just a period of my cultivation experience. I should thank you, but after she died, everything will be lost." It's over, Themis Fei has paid back with his life. I just want to remind you of one thing—do you remember him, have you ever looked for him?"
Amon sighed: "John? I swore at the tombs of John and Themis that if their souls were reborn in the world, I would continue to guide them. Now it seems that the soul of Themis is not in the world. Freshman, as for John, I'm sorry to say, I haven't found that person yet."
Themis sneered and said, "Not yet? I'm afraid you have already forgotten him? Have you ever looked for him? I came today to tell you—I will find that person and give him another kind of guidance. This is also The vow I made when I returned to the Olympus Paradise."
Amon wanted to say something, but stopped talking. According to Themis, she wants to guide John's soul reborn into the Olympian kingdom, and this vow is completely understandable. But Amon had also made the same vow in front of John's tomb, and it seemed that it would conflict with her. Themis' tone had a hint of resentment towards Amon, because of all the disciples in the Garden of Eden, only John died unexpectedly.
The gods guide the angels in the world, and the person being guided also needs to be voluntary. If the person with the new soul is more willing to accept the guidance of Themis, it is not easy for Amon to interfere. But she might be in trouble if she did so, and Zeus might not be happy, after all, according to legend, Themis is Zeus's second wife.
After careful consideration of Themis' tone, it actually implied the meaning of fighting with Amon or Zeus. She also wanted to prove a higher realm, and to guide the newborn person contained this intention, or it was a way. Amon thought of so much in a flash, and Themis had already walked out of the courtyard and disappeared.
…
Amon looked at the place where Themis disappeared, and was in a trance for a while. Medanzuo, Alexander, Aristotle and others walked out of the yard, but he didn't say hello. He only thought about one question in his mind—the flower of Memphis, Themis Fena, what did Themis prove
Themis is not the incarnation of Themis, but the god himself, who has become an ordinary creature through the rebirth of the soul. Amon did not do this kind of thing, and Artemis and Anu both did it back then, becoming Schrödinger and Goret respectively.
Anu was trying to prove the realm beyond the Creator God. If he failed, Anu did not break through to a higher achievement, but at least he understood that he was on the wrong path.
Artemis' verification was successful. She wanted to verify the realm of the Creator. After Schrödinger disappeared, Artemis returned to the kingdom of heaven and had the achievement of the Creator. Schrödinger was trapped in a cat's body for hundreds of years, and it was Amon who finally helped her.
As for Themis, the situation is completely different. The goddess of fairness and justice already has the pinnacle achievement of the creator. Before the battle of the gods in the Olympus pantheon, her temple held the right to issue the oracle of Delphi. Later, Zeus merged with the Olympus Heaven, and Themis also wanted to prove a higher realm. Coming to the world as Themis was part of her cultivation experience, but it was hard to say whether this experience was a success or a failure.
After Themis died, the goddess of fairness and justice returned to the Olympus heaven. She did not break through to a higher achievement, but her experience in this life in the world was not without harvest. Whether it is for gods or mortals, valuable experiences are a kind of wealth in themselves. Themis abandoned the existing prejudices of the gods, reborn as a person with a pure soul, re-witnessed everything in the foreign land, and was fortunate to receive another kind of guidance, she was already quite lucky.
There is an old proposition, the sages often ask everyone in the square - can luck be copied? Can people achieve the same success in a different situation
This sentence has a different meaning for the gods. For any god to achieve the achievement of transcending eternal life, it is a rare luck in the world, and there are many encounters that cannot be reproduced. If the gods throw away their identity as gods and do it again like ordinary people, can they achieve the same success? This is a huge question, and the answer is - almost impossible!
For example, Amon once mined a tear of the gods with his own hands. This is something that most craftsmen in Duke Town will never encounter in their lifetime. It is his luck that he encountered it. But Amon still wants to mine a second tear of the gods, the probability of which is so small that it is almost negligible.
