This question was very interesting. Of course, Zeus was Zeus, Amon had already recognized him. But what he was thinking was another matter. Zeus's appearance was different from the King Leoni of Kybada he saw last time. Did this god himself come to the human world to watch the show, or did he cut off another incarnation? Or did he simply change his identity and come to the human world to wander? What did such an identity mean to the gods?
Zeus and Amon's achievements were similar, but his breakthrough was much earlier than Amon's. He mastered it more deeply and skillfully, and comprehended more mysteries. The so-called incarnation was not as simple as changing one's appearance or identity at will. If this was the case, even some ninth level divine emissaries could do it. When it came to Zeus's achievements, the meaning was completely different.
Vincent Augustus relayed the words of Amon, "Thought is the cause of fate." Then for a god like Amon, the cause of a thought was the cause of the incarnation, and each incarnation was unique, representing the god's vows, thoughts, and experiences that had to be verified by this identity.
In the myths and legends of the Kingdom of Hellas, Zeus was a playboy in the human world, and it was said that he had many children. The gods were a kind of transcendent existence, and the blood relationship between the gods in the myths of the continent was actually a kind of inheritance between the guide and the guided.
But when it came to Zeus, it was a bit puzzling, and it might be true.
Amon thought of Goliath, who was buried. Goliath never married in the Hittite Kingdom and lived a quiet life, but if Goliath left behind descendants, it was not impossible. Anu came to the human world in the form of a new soul and became Goliath, which was an attempt to surpass the achievements of the God of Creation. It was difficult to say whether this attempt was a success or a failure.
Zeus, like Amon, took a different path. He opened up the Kingdom of Olympus, and was able to leave the Kingdom of Olympus and come to the human world freely, fusing with the divine kingdom of the God of Creation. So far, the path that Amon sought was not significantly different from that of Zeus. But the Olympian gods seemed to be very involved in the world. This Zeus came to the human world again and again, sometimes as the god himself, and sometimes as an incarnation.
What kind of existence did a god like Zeus come to the human world? What kind of existence did he seek, and what kind of method did he use? These were the questions that Amon was thinking about on the way. He himself was also walking in the human world as a driver.
While pondering, Amon drove the carriage into the city of Miduli, which was one of the oldest cities in the Hellas Kingdom. It was once the birthplace of civilization and the economic and commercial center of the Hellas Peninsula. But after the Hippo War, its importance had been replaced by the city of Yalon.
Aesop entered the once familiar city. Sixty years had passed, and he did not recognize many places, but the city was still the outline of the city. He had Amon drive the carriage to a mansion. He lifted the curtain and got off the carriage, sighing, "This old mansion has been repaired, but it is still the same building. The statue in front of the door is still the same as it was sixty years ago."
The servant who guarded the door came over and asked, "Are you here to visit my master? Why did you stop the carriage here? "
Aesop asked, "Who is your master?" The servant replied, "It is Master Raeder Ackerman, this mansion belongs to him. But the master is not in the city. He went to the manor outside the city to collect rent. " Aesop looked a little excited, but he tried to calm down and asked, "Master Raeder Ackerman? Is his father called Ross Ackerman? " …
The servant replied, somewhat puzzled, "Yes, I have heard of the name of the master's father. May I ask how you know, and why are you here?"
Aesop pointed to a sign hanging on the courtyard door and asked, "Is Raeder Ackerman selling this mansion?" The servant suddenly understood and said, "Are you here to buy a mansion? Master Ackerman is asking for 200 gold coins. As long as you are willing to pay this price, you can register it with the city's property department and get the deed. This mansion will be yours. "
Aesop asked, "Why does Raeder Ackerman want to sell this mansion?"
The servant scratched the back of his head and said, "I am only a servant, so I am not too sure. I heard that the manor's harvest isn't too good, and Master Ackerman has a new mansion. He wants to sell the old mansion and the manor, and then buy a ship to go into business. Most of the lords who have recently made a fortune from the war think so. "
Aesop frowned slightly. "Of course you can make money by doing business, but you can't just abandon the ancestral manor. If the city doesn't have any products, how are you going to trade? If everyone goes into business, whose money is going to be earned? "
The servant was obviously very talkative and said with a smile, "Of course it's going to be earned from the foreigners. As for the manor, mines, and workshops, let others manage them. All the lords want to earn big money, quick money, and other people's money."
Aesop asked again, "If the people of this city don't pay attention to production and only want to prosper through trade, once the prosperity is gone, they will fall into a predicament. Trade itself is only about exchanging what each other needs, and merchants can profit from it. But if the foundation is ignored, the city can only rely on foreign products to support it, and it won't be able to prosper for long. "
The servant scratched the back of his head again and said, "I am only a gatekeeper. What you said is what the lords need to consider. Now that Miduria has joined the Yaron Alliance, the alliance is very powerful and can guarantee its position in trade.
But I digress, you are here to buy a mansion, right? I can bring you in to take a look. If you want to buy it, Master Ackerman will be back before dark. You can talk to him in detail. "Yi Jin smiled. This is my father's mansion, and my name is Aesop Ackerman. It's just that I haven't mentioned this surname for many years. "
The gatekeeper was shocked and turned to look at Aesop with widened eyes. "You are also from the Ackerman family? Why haven't I heard of your name before? …
Aesop explained, "My father's name is Hussein Ackerman. He is Ross Ackerman's elder brother and Reid Ackerman's uncle. He used to be a merchant, and he was shipwrecked at sea sixty years ago. I was lucky enough to survive. This mansion belongs to my father, and I grew up here. I didn't expect it to still belong to the Ackerman family. If I had come a step later, I'm afraid it would have been sold to someone else. "The gatekeeper was dumbfounded." Th-th-this, can you prove all this? Alright, even if you are Master Aesop Ackerman, this is still your family's business, and it's not something a servant like me can interfere in. " Master Reid is not here. Are you going to wait for him here? "Metatro had already opened the door and said to Aesop:" Master, please! " Aesop walked into the old mansion and smiled at the gatekeeper. "You are a good gatekeeper, don't worry. If I take back the mansion, I will still hire you as a gatekeeper."
Reid Ackerman had a larger and more imposing mansion in Miduli Slope. This mansion had already been vacated, and there was only a maid cleaning and the caretaker of the house. They were preparing to sell the house. Aesop's sudden arrival caused the gatekeeper to not dare to offend him. Aesop had already entered and sat down in the living room.
The maid asked the gatekeeper what was going on. The gatekeeper whispered a few words to her. The maid frowned and poured water for Aesop.
Aesop smiled and gave them a dozen copper coins. The maid's brows relaxed and brought food for Aesop. The gatekeeper took the opportunity to leave the mansion and went to Ackerman's residence to report the news.
Amon was like a coachman. He didn't care about anything else. He drove the carriage to the front yard and stopped in front of the stable.
Rend and Ackerman arrived before the sky turned dark. The old man didn't come alone. He brought three strong sons and a small group of patrolling soldiers. His face was full of anger and exasperation. He was now a nobleman. Back then, his father had inherited his brother's legacy and made a contribution in the Hibon War, thus becoming the new nobleman of the city-state. Reid himself was one of the citizens' representatives in the city-state assembly. His eldest son, Blake, was a small leader in the city-state army.
When Randt received the message from the gatekeeper, his first reaction was to be furious. Aesop had died a long time ago, and there had been no news of him for sixty years. Suddenly, a man appeared and claimed to be the heir of Aesop, Sayns- Ackerman. He must be a liar who was plotting to steal the property! How could Reid let a liar succeed? He immediately called his sons, Blake Ackerman, and a group of patrolling soldiers. If it was really a liar who wanted to steal the property, he would be arrested on the spot!
Amon heard the noise outside the stable. He knew what happened, but he didn't care. Medanzo accompanied Aesop in the living room. Reid left the guards outside the yard and rushed into the living room with his three sons. He shouted at Aesop who was sitting there talking to the maid, "You liar, stand up!" Aesop stood up with a smile and asked, "May I ask who you are?"
The maid replied in a low voice, "He is Master Reid Ackerman, the current owner of this house." Aesop looked at the angry Raeder Ackerman, smiled, and opened his arms. "My dear cousin, is this how you welcome a cousin who has returned after 60 years away from home? Don't you want to accept my blessing and hug? "
Reid was stunned because Aesop's facial features did have the characteristics of the Ackerman family. He looked very much like his late father. But Reid's eldest son, Blake Ackerman, pulled out his sword and pointed it at Aesop. "You liar, don't try to pretend to be my uncle!"
Aesop smiled and sat back at the table. He looked at Blake, who was holding the sword, and said calmly, "Young man, let's talk it out. Why did you pull out your sword? I told you my name, and you called me a liar. What did I lie to you about? Does the identity of Aesop belong to you? "
If the old man in front of him was a liar, then this liar was very magnanimous. Aesop had been the lord of the city for more than ten years. The city-state of Dileng he had built was much larger than the city-state of Miduli. His every movement carried a dignified aura.
Blake, still holding the sword, said angrily, "You claim to be my uncle, Aesop. Don't you want to cheat the Ackerman family of their property? How can you prove that you are Aesop?"
Medanzo, who had been standing by the table, stepped forward and stretched out a hand towards Blake. His movement was accompanied by a strong pressure. Although Blake was holding the sword, he couldn't help but take a step back. "What do you want?"
Medanzo opened his palm, holding three shining flame sprites in his palm. He said in a sarcastic tone, "Do you understand the situation? Does my master need to cheat you of this old house?" Reid put the old house up for sale for 200 gold coins, and the three flame sprites in Medanzo's hand could buy sixty such houses, which was a huge sum of money no matter where it was.
Reid stepped forward and pressed his son's arm. "Put away your sword, can't you talk nicely?"
Then he said to Aesop, "Old mister, who are you? Are you really my cousin Aesop? "Fu Suo sighed." I am Aesop. Ackerman, sixty years ago I went out to sea with my father and unfortunately encountered pirates. My father was killed and I was sold as a slave. Later I gained freedom and went to the Plains of Duc.
After so many years, I am also old, and it was not easy for me to return to my hometown. I didn't expect to meet my relatives in the old house. "
Reid asked cautiously, "How can you prove that you are Aesop, and what is your purpose in coming here?"
Aesop shook his head with a wry smile. "It's been sixty years, I was only sixteen when I left here. I am Aesop Ackerman, but I don't know how to prove it. As for my purpose, it's very simple, I want to return to my homeland. "
Reid's second son, Hunter Ackerman, was the smartest, and immediately said, "You came back here to continue living in the old house?" Aesop nodded and said, "Yes, I want to completely renovate this old house and live here until I die. I don't have much time left in this life."
Hunter-Ackerman laughed, "That's easy. This house is for sale. I wanted to sell it to some other nobles in the city. If you want to live here, you can buy it for 300 gold coins. Whether you can prove your identity or not, you can still fulfill your wish! "
Medanzo was startled, "Well, I just heard that this house is selling for two hundred gold coins, why did the price increase so quickly?" Hunter replied with a smile, "The same thing means different things to different people, so the value is also different."
Medanzo glared at him, "Profiteer!"
Hunter still smiled, "Thank you for the compliment." At this time, Reid cleared his throat and said, "Sir, I can't confirm your identity, but you do remind me of my cousin that I haven't seen for many years. Although I know he died at sea, I still hope that you are him. I sympathize with you and understand your thoughts. If you want to live in this house, I can sell it, just like my son suggested. "
At this time, Reid's youngest son, Weir Ackerman, pulled his father's sleeve and whispered, "This old man looks so much like Grandpa! He's so rich, he can't be a liar. Maybe he's my uncle. Why don't we meet first? "
This sentence suddenly reminded Reid that if the old man in front of him was Aesop, then he must have made a fortune and returned to his homeland. If Aesop didn't have an heir, then his property would still belong to the Ackerman family. It wasn't a big deal to meet a rich cousin, but looking at the current situation, he still wasn't sure of Aesop's intentions.
Aesop didn't care what he was thinking, he just sat there and asked Hunter, "This is my father's house. When my father and your grandfather separated, the property had already been divided. I am the rightful heir to this mansion, why should I spend money to buy a house that is mine in the first place? "
Hearing this, Reid became nervous. It seemed that this old man who made a fortune in a foreign land was very stingy. The richer he was, the more money he wanted. This time, it was clear that he was returning to his hometown to take back the inheritance of his ancestors. In addition to this house, Reid also occupied the grange that should have been inherited by Aesop.
That was more than ten times more expensive than the house, so before figuring out the situation, he couldn't easily recognize this relative!
Hunter still said with a smile, "Since you're so rich, why do you care about this? In addition to the house, old Ackerman also has a grange. It's a good place to retire. If you want to find the feeling of returning to your homeland, we can part with it and sell you the grange as well. Although you can't prove your identity, you can still fulfill your wish. "
Aesop shook his head, "This isn't about money, young man. You don't understand the feelings of an old man like me. The reason I'm returning to my homeland is because I was born here. This is where I came to this world, and I'm looking for traces of life. If I buy this house with another identity, it'll be the same as denying my birth. If I deny who I am, then what's the point of returning to my homeland? "Blake's face turned angry again," Oh, I get it! You insist that you're Aesop Ackerman, and not only do you want to take this house, but you also want to take our grange in the name of Aesop. This city is very law-abiding. The deed of the house and the Title Deed are now written in my father's name, unless you can prove that they belong to you. ,,
Aesop stood up and shook his head, "I'm looking for myself. I don't want to take away your property. You've all misunderstood me, or perhaps you can't understand.
Then we'll do as you say. Disputes like this in the city should be submitted to the citizens' assembly for arbitration. Until there's a verdict, I'll stay in the inn. The house and grange will still be yours. "
After saying this, Aesop left with Medanzo, leaving the father and son looking at each other in dismay.
Amon had already prepared the carriage and invited Aesop to board it. The guards outside did not know what was going on, and did not receive any orders to stop them. They could only watch as they left.
On the way to the inn, Medanzo asked, "Aesop, your relative is quite interesting. He doesn't dare to recognize you." Aesop smiled bitterly and said, "No matter which family it is, no one will easily recognize an heir who disappeared sixty years ago and can't produce any evidence to prove his identity.
