Fayol happy and self-satisfied, Rod Drick grants artisan 30 gold coins, each gold coins weight one bhat, installs in the bag heavy. But what he places on that child anvil desk is 30 silver coin, with gold coins almost big or medium, each actually be only half bhat heaviness, the value is only equal to -and-a-half gold coins, remaining all turned over to him.
Fayol was actually not worried that Rod Drick will blame him, noble Sir Dike is impossible to condescend to this dirty crude miner family|home and stands before that furnace fire, can send this secretary visit personally, is the great honor of this families. He has completed the mission according to the instruction of Sir Dike, lucky has attained Tear of Gods. Sir Dike pleasantly surprised even also will only grant him, will not investigate that again the immaterial minor matter, he too understood that Sir Dike.
Fayol is also first time sees Tear of Gods, before had not even heard, Rod Drick told him that seems is pale golden and translucent Parangons, he saw in the Amon family|home, obtained.
In the house had smoking of filthy liquor air/Qi and furnace fire, Fayol does not want to treat, attains Tear of Gods to hurry. Obtains the symbol that the gods take pity on regarding the legend, Fayol also exceptionally curiously, actually almost cannot bear want with have a look at it to have what mystery in the hand carefully, wants its put into oneself purse, but he does not certainly dare, can only respectful and cautiously holds is putting Tear of Gods golden box.
...
Fayol walked, after a while, Amon also left the home, he looked for Old Lunatic. Amon is a child, in the heart has unable to describe the grievance that actually had no way to say anything to the father of getting drunk, was all right to listen to the Old Lunatic limitless crazy talk, was one type relaxes and comforts.
He stayed about half double-hour in the Old Lunatic family|home, then quietly went to Western Border of town. The Duk Town west is a film length the continuous hill of azure black rock, slightly near place, the ravine has not many grassy slopes to breed few flocks of sheep, walks away a point again appears very dangerous, the rock is not high actually strangely, like dense and numerous devil Jungle, the bush that above grows on the person chaotic hair.
This bush they are high, dries out is hard, when felling must use the good chopper and axe, with charcoal that it burns, when is the smelting iron embryo best furnance fuel. This stretch of region is called Charcoal Forest, is in Duk Town to the Xuya City State's road which must be taken on, the Xuya City State's post road also passes through from here.
Except that every other 30 li (0.5km) have the post road that the City State soldier guards, the people little enter the Charcoal Forest deep place extremely, these strange complex bushes and quarry stone, in very short distance can obstruct the view completely, seemed as if has been full of the wrapped in a shroud of obscurity danger.
However Old Lunatic has told Amon, has Cold Spring in some Charcoal Forest hiding place, water quality ice cold is piercing, can actually neat and body of purification person. All the year round takes a bath in that Cold Spring, can make the body stronger, reaction is also keener. However must according to Old Lunatic teach Amon's style to bathe, otherwise not only does not have the advantage, will also be left behind the unmentionable diseasea by cold air entering the body, once is taken bad to want the human life.
The method has taught, could achieve does not injure the body, to learn whether to endure that piercing ice cold, all in Amon oneself. Amon once had asked what advantage takes a bath also to have in that Cold Spring? Old Lunatic smilingly answered two characters - sobers up.
Amon once wants also to take away Cold Spring to take a bath the oneself drunkard father, Old Lunatic actually stares saying: „Did you want your father's life? He is impossible to withstand, only then your oneself can go, do not tell others!”
Therefore Amon went on a person, in the moonlight bright midnight, just started truly is unable to endure that each time almost the chill in the air that the person freezes thoroughly, but takes a bath after each time, sits a while in the spring water, will have a heat overflowing full whole body, making the person feeling very comfortable, comfortable a little wants to groan. Amon liked this feeling, each time mood unhappy time, he would to Cold Spring here.
But the Cold Spring water also has another special place, although cools extremely can special be clean, a body dust that the person washes will not stay behind.
...
Rod Drick is exceptionally excited even wild with joy, he really smoothly obtained Tear of Gods, is how brilliant, wise and lucky! In Fayol and other subordinate and in servant praise sound, carried the wine class to be somewhat self-satisfied. Rod Drick this has not made that Goddess Isis to direct his dream, this is his oneself compiles, but now, he thinks that oneself obtained the direction and caring for of Goddess Isis in the darkness.
Attains Tear of Gods, the first matter that he does is the kneeling down prayer, extolled Great Spiritual God, then has granted Fayol three Parangons, sent for giving Mayor Dasti to send to a generous gift. Why wants the heavy ritual to thank, thinks that Mayor Dasti knows fairly well.
Fayol is according to his instruction the office, when Tear of Gods just appeared, took away it at the scene, to offer to the Goddess Isis name. Does this to omit troublesome, such important thing was mined, if turns in Xuya City State according to local regulation, demands again very difficultly, although adds on the suitable threat not necessarily unable to attain by the Dike status, but cannot guarantee that certainly can attain.
In Hittites Kingdom also some people want certainly Tear of Gods, in Egypt Empire, Adoratrice candidate also incessantly Icho Maria that various City State select, this is in itself competition of benefit. However that mines Tear of Gods base and low miner, how can reject the Rod Drick's noble will, will offer to offer to Goddess Isis, all appear logical.
As for Mayor Dasti, Rod Drick naturally must compensate him well, from now on will have the social dealings to hit, cannot lose this friend. As for mining Parangons miner is, also obtained what? Rod Drick and no longer worries, he has made Fayol handle matters, has given three ten Paran Gold Coins generously, but Fayol has accomplished, this was enough.
The will of the people are such marvelous, some time ago Rod Drick was still drinking while grumbles, in the heart the secret passage might as well implore miner to the Spiritual God hope. Now has attained Tear of Gods , after he mines that Tear of Gods miner forgets the brain, thinks that oneself obtained caring for of Spiritual God, appears to the Goddess Isis pray acknowledgment is that reverent.
Rod Drick has not kept in Tear of Gods oneself, immediately has delivered to Gabriel there it, he wants to compete for this Tear of Gods person more certain very much clearly, early one step obtains the Isis Temple's approval is most important. He plans immediately to leave Duk Town next day, does not want the matter of causing complications to appear, unexpectedly Gabriel told him Icho Maria to get sick, at least must rest in this town again for three days, cannot pass through Desert to make the difficult long journey immediately.
...
Next morning, shortly after the people on town just got out of bed, the smoke from kitchen chimneys flutters sky over each and every family, the people heard north the town Mourrin Temple's bell sound, that convenes the signal that the town residents assemble.
Is enjoying a sumptuous breakfast Mayor Dasti to hear bell sound surrounded by four servants is very disgruntled, is who has disturbed enjoyment of his comfortable leisure? Has the qualifications to sound Goddess Mourrin Temple to call the bell sound person in Duk Town to have two, Dasti is Lord Noblemen of this town, is Mourrin Temple nominal high priest, what is responsible for the Temple concrete affair is priest Makeluobo Xiaogu.
Shog also holds a concurrent post of Duk Town and Temple secretary, is responsible for writing and registering the work, records the payment of taxes that the townspeople pays every year as well as offers to the Temple belongings. The secretary status is higher than the ordinary common people, can be counted low grade noble, but Shog simultaneously is Temple priest, the status appears more honored compared with general secretary, is the No. 2 character on town.
Do not despise secretary, because he will read and write the writing, in Hittites in Egypt, usually only then noble has the condition to study the writing. Like Rod Drick's Chief Secretary Fayol Judas, almost can treat as an equal with Mayor Dasti this Hittites Kingdom's noble, although he is only a staff.
Duk is only a small town, probably does not need that many noble government officials, Mayor Dasti does not hope that has too many people to share here authority, therefore the matter is simpler is better. According to the City State law, secretary must, priest of manage Temple business also probably, then made a Shog person hold a concurrent post, moreover Dasti also clear Xuya City State's City Lord had the favorable impression to Shog, exactly said that has received the bribe of Shog.
What is funnier, since after town has cultivated Horus Temple, to save the manpower and centralized authority, Mayor Dasti still assumed the post of Temple high priest, priest and secretary of manage Horus Temple concrete affair was still Shog.
...
Mayor Dasti changes the magnificent and expensive coat, when brings servant last is going to the square before Goddess Mourrin Temple, the people here have encircled a great-circle, Amon and his father lowering the head stand in the forefront of crowd, Shog on Temple High Level are facing the people.
The people made way a road to Dasti, he walks while disgruntled shouting: „Shog, early morning why did sound the bell call everybody? Sir Dike in the town, you had not feared that has alarmed the honored guest?”
Shog hurries to go down the stair, bows to salute to say toward Dasti: „Honored Lord Noblemen and Lord Sir, some people blasphemed our Guardian God and Great Mourrin Goddess.” Then lowers the sound saying that „Mayor, you have not known, in the town some people mined Tear of Gods in legend, has not actually turned, has given to Sir Rod Drick secretly. You are know that even if offers, should be you or I...”
Dasti hurried to interrupt his words in a low voice: „Shog, this matter do not raise! Sir Dike wants that Tear of Gods, he defends in the town, can your I prevent? But we have not turned in City State according to regulation, if some people investigate that who is responsible for? Mines its miner to offer voluntarily to Goddess Isis, was testified by Sir Dike, avoid your my trouble. You could rest assured that the Sir Dike gift will deliver to your family tonight, will not make you disappointed... What matter also has?”
Shog has gawked staring, immediately very respectful nod said: „Knew, presses the office that you said. But also the matter actually has to handle, because some people have offended Spiritual God's dignity...”
The people in square only saw Shog and Dasti two Sir whispers several, then saw Shog to turn around to enhance the intonation saying: „Miner's son Amon, violates oracle that Duk Town has passed from generation to generation, has not passed through Mourrin Goddess approval and blessing, opened ore stone to take out Parangons secretly, I had verified last night, was his father acknowledges personally.... Sir Dasti of respect came, everybody believes how should handle him?”
Dasti knit the brows not to speak, can only set a dignified appearance, his very repugnant Shog causes complications in this time, does not have the means to prevent. Related to blasphemed the Spiritual God topic, everyone must be careful that cannot make Shog get his handle, moreover this truly was the Duk Town all previous dynasties custom, related to the Guardian God dignity. He in the heart mused that - this Shog, actually wants to make what issue taking advantage of this matter, comes to me?
When Shog speech looks at Amon, looks at the rabbit that trembles like a callous hawk, although Amon bites the lip not to tremble - he early looked that this child is not pleasing to the eyes. Duk Town produces continuous Parangons, is symbolizing the endless wealth, but on this small town only then four people will write: Dasti, Shog and Old Lunatic Nietzsche and this child Amon.
Dasti will only write the putty broadsword book that Hittites, Babylon and Assyria area uses, this language earliest carves with the blade on the clay tablet, but Shog will actually write two document, includes the Egypt Empire use besides the blade book the pen book, writes with the pen on the straw paper. These are Old Lunatic teach him, but now, Old Lunatic also has taught Amon these two languages.
