After Aristotle leaves the Aaron city, Emissary of Bosi empire also arrived, they gave Aaron the City State's military administration official to bring the new pressure, the threat said: ” If you unite Macedonia to abandon Bosi, then Bosi will fully support Kibada, thoroughly to destroy Aaron! You are very far from Macedonia, but is nearer to Kibada! Please do not forget, initially was your oneself made to the decision that Bosi requested reinforcements, why now is perfidious? You will therefore certainly be punished by the Spiritual God! ” 就在亚里士多德离开雅伦城之后,波兹帝国的使者也到了,他们给雅伦城邦的军政官员施加了新的压力,威胁道:”如果你们联合马其顿背弃波兹,那么波兹就将全力支持基巴达、彻底摧毁雅伦！你们离马其顿很远,但是离基巴达更近！请不要忘了,当初就是你们自己做出了向波兹求援的决定,如今为何背信弃义？你们一定会因此而受到神灵的惩罚！” Aaron City State complies to form an alliance with Macedonia was very reluctant, they actually rather betray the interests of Sidon peninsula to Bosi of distant place, to receive in exchange the position of overlord, is not willing to submit to Macedonia on the Sidon peninsula. Under the threat and new promise of Bosi person, Aaron changes the mind to decide that does not make the treaty of alliance become effective, sending out high priest Merring to lead the assassin to assassinate the mission. 雅伦城邦答应与马其顿结盟本就很勉强,他们其实宁愿将希顿半岛的利益出卖给远方的波兹,以换取霸主的地位,也不愿意在希顿半岛上向马其顿屈服。在波兹人的威胁和新的许诺下,雅伦改变主意决定不让盟约生效,派出大祭司梅林率刺客暗杀使团。 This is clandestine activities, regardless of going well, cannot expose assassination the status. Therefore Merring brings two Great Warrior, three Priest and 24 elite soldiers, but also made the appearance of Jiba expert. The mission that this lineup wants to remove Yarrie earth Dodd has more than enough to spare, moreover considers is also very thorough. Very pitifully, they let slip. 这是一次绝密行动,无论得不得手,都不能暴露行刺者的身份。所以梅林带着两位大武士、三位神官、二十四名精锐战士,还做了基巴达人的打扮。这个阵容想除掉亚里土多德的使团绰绰有余,而且考虑的也很周到。很可惜,他们失手了。 Not only let slip, but also was captured alive completely ; Not was only captured alive, but also bound both hands to parade to be recognized blatantly ; Not was only recognized, but also was surrounded from afar. The worst case scenario that the display imagination can think , happened completely! Is this penalty of Spiritual God? Most feared that anything has anything. 不仅失手了,而且全部被活捉;不仅被活捉,而且绑住双手公然游行被人认了出来;不仅被认了出来,而且还被千里迢迢被围观了一路。发挥想像力所能想到的最坏的情况,全部发生了！难道这就是神灵的惩罚吗？最怕什么就有什么。 Tied up Supreme Mage, to let slip the assassin status of being captured, walks the thousand li (500 km) with other captives and withstanding shame beyond description. Just when started Merring wanted ashamed and resentfully, the hate in heart was also indescribable, but this walked, the surrounded number of times were too many, he also has to be quiet, wants to understand that gradually this was the fate that he earned. 一位被缚的大神术师,以失手被擒的刺客身份,和其他俘虏一起步行千里、承受难以形容的羞辱。刚开始时梅林羞愤欲死,心中的怨恨也是无法形容,但是这一路走来,被围观的次数太多了,他也不得不平静下来,渐渐想明白这是他应得的下场。 Aaron betrays the treaty of alliance to leave, but counter-, must kill the mission of Macedonia to eliminate a potential informant unexpectedly, this dishonorable conduct made one despise, otherwise their these assassins do not dare to expose the status. He is the captain of assassination, the present result takes the consequences for own actions, holds true by the person who he assassinates by conceals for him? 雅伦背叛盟约出而反尔,竟然要杀马其顿的使团灭口,这种卑劣行径本就令人不齿,否则他们这些刺客也不会不敢暴露身份。他是刺杀行动的指挥者,如今的结果自作自受,被他刺杀的人又有什么理由替他遮羞呢？ Merring was once numb, is ordinary like the good-for-nothing, when Aristotle convoy met the second assassination afterward, his intention surges thinks are more. reinforce that in the Aaron city sends, the most important assassination goal is not the Aristotle mission, but is their these let slip to be captured with the captive. Great Warrior Moyilai gives scolding the commander of second group of assassins, by Metatro scolding, Merring listens not to say a word in the ear. 梅林一度麻木了,就像行尸走肉一般,但后来亚里士多德的车队遇到第二次刺杀时,他心念翻腾又想到了更多。雅伦城中派来的增援,首要的刺杀目标不是亚里士多德的使团,而是他们这些失手被擒拿的俘虏。大武士莫伊莱痛骂第二批刺客的指挥官,又被梅丹佐给骂了,梅林都听在耳中却一言不发。 Waited for Macedonian City State, tied up Merring instead became confident. He knows that oneself is impossible to return to Aaron to devote life to again, even if were redeemed as captive, he does not plan to go back, from individual glory and City State's prestige, this experience is the shames. 等进了马其顿城邦,被缚的梅林反而变得坦然了。他知道自己不可能再回雅伦效命,就算以俘虏的身份被赎出来,他也不打算回去,从个人的荣耀和城邦的信誉来说,这段经历都是耻辱。 When he was placed in a comfortable residence, Keeton King Philip II comes „interrogation” personally time, Merring said all very much simply, then tranquil asking: „Does your majesty, how you plan to handle me? To offer a sacrifice to the flag with my head/number of people, starts Army to punish Aaron person?” 当他被安置在一处舒适的住所中,马基顿国王腓力二世亲自来“审问”的时候,梅林很干脆的说出了一切,然后平静的问道:“陛下,您打算怎么处置我呢？是想拿我的人头祭旗,发动大军去惩罚雅伦人？” Philip II replied: „Aaron City State is perishing, but the entire Sidon peninsula including Aaron person needs the Spiritual God save. In you let slip since that moment of being captured, your individual mission had ended, since that moment that in you were assassinated by the second group of assassins, you had been abandoned by Aaron. The Spiritual God gives the opportunity that you chose, are you willing to give loyalty to Macedonia? I will not kill you, if you reject my request, I put you to go back.” 腓力二世答道:“雅伦城邦正在自我沦丧,而包括雅伦人在内的整个希顿半岛都需要神灵的挽救。在你失手被擒的那一刻起,你的个人使命就已经结束,在你被第二批刺客刺杀的那一刻起,你本人就已被雅伦抛弃。神灵给了你重新选择的机会,请问你愿意效忠于马其顿吗？我不会杀你,如果你拒绝我的要求,我就放你回去。” Merring only considered several time of breath, set out to salute immediately, take an oath give loyalty to Macedonia. Besides him, Great Warrior Moyilai and the others also because of the respective consideration, pledged allegiance to Macedonia. Their this experienced suffering the shame, so long as also lives is not wanting to be deliberately bad, must wash off the oneself shame through the meritorious achievements glory. Philip II gave them the best suggestion: „I can not request you to attack Aaron, in the future, will deal with the Bosi person in the battlefield!” 梅林只考虑了几个呼吸的时间,随即就起身行礼,宣誓向马其顿效忠。除了他之外,大武士莫伊莱等人也因为各自的考虑,归顺了马其顿。他们这一路受尽了羞辱,只要还活着不想自暴自弃,就必须通过功业荣耀来洗刷自己的耻辱。腓力二世给了他们最好的建议:“我可以不要求你们去攻打雅伦,等到将来,就在战场上去对付波兹人吧！” Philip II agrees patient subdues these captives, on the one hand to display a great ambition and magnanimous of monarchy, on the other hand is also certainly related with Zeus oracle. Who in oracle has not said to the Macedonian Kingdom very important that person is, Philip II must handle discretely. 腓力二世肯耐心的去收服这些俘虏,一方面是为了表现一位君主的雄心与大度,另一方面当然也与宙斯的神谕有关。神谕中没有说出对马其顿王国非常重要的那个人是谁,腓力二世就得谨慎处置。 Handled the captive, Philip II also inquired carefully the guard Captain Ison this process of mission, the matter to Amon and Metatro exceptionally was interested, and made the staff investigate, finally let him to shock deeply. 处置完俘虏,腓力二世又仔细询问了使团的侍卫队长艾森这一路的经过,对阿蒙与梅丹佐的事情异常感兴趣,并让幕僚做了调查,结果让他深为震惊。 The situation that a Kingdom intelligence system can know, far exceeded certainly individual's usual story. Philip II sees all sorts of materials that the staff mentioned, has known that who Amon was, but cannot believe that Aristotle brought back to the Spiritual God from foreign land one by one unexpectedly! 一个王国的情报系统所能了解的情况,当然远远超出了个人平时的见闻。腓力二世看到幕僚提到的种种资料,就已经知道阿蒙是谁了,但又不敢相信一一亚里士多德竟然带回了来自异国的神灵！ Amon's status not only special and awkward, he is not the Spiritual God that the Sidon person believes, but by Yarrie ± Dodd's friend with accompanying the status went to Macedonia. This decided Philip II impossible like paying a visit the Spiritual God pays a visit him, impossible like listening respectfully to oracle listens to him to speak. But Philip II expensive/noble is a king, has never personally seen the Spiritual God, in his heart anticipates very urgently, wants to see Amon, actually does not know how should see him. 阿蒙的身份既特殊又令人尴尬,他并不是希顿人所信仰的神灵,只是以亚里±多德的朋友与随从的身份来到了马其顿。这就决定了腓力二世不可能像拜见神灵那样去拜见他,也不可能像聆听神谕那样去听他说话。但腓力二世贵为君王,也从未亲眼见过神灵啊,他心中非常期待、很迫切的想见到阿蒙,却又不知道该怎么去见他。 Philip II intertwined hesitant for several days, finally summons the imperial palace to consult Aristotle in secret. Yarrie earth Dodd is smiling asking: „Your majesty, you are unable like treating the Spiritual God such receives him, is actually afraid is stricken the Spiritual God to blame disrespectfully, is?” 腓力二世犹豫纠结了好几天,最终还是将亚里士多德召进皇宫私下里请教。亚里土多德则微笑着问道:“陛下,您无法像对待神灵的那样来接待他,却又害怕失礼遭致神灵怪罪,是这样的吗？” Philip II nods saying: „Yes, he is not the Spiritual God that I believe, but after all is a Spiritual God.” 腓力二世点头道:“是的,他并不是我所信奉的神灵,但毕竟是一位神灵。” Aristotle also asked: „Your majesty, you whether was clear how we should be together with the Spiritual God, how should also regard the Spiritual God?” 亚里士多德又问道:“陛下,您是否清楚我们应该如何与神灵相处,又应该如何看待神灵呢？” Philip II proceeded to move moving the buttocks from the chair, the leans forward the body was saying: „Asked the mister to advise!” 腓力二世将屁股从椅子上往前挪了挪,前倾着身体道:“请先生指教！” Yarrie earth Dodd replied: „God regarding the faith of person, is in the pure thought the happiness and perfect self-realization, the true god exceeded existence of this world. We can the world of sensation be imperfect, there are various lives and desires, the imperfect thought and desire, all lives more or less can the feelings to the god.” 亚里土多德答道:“神对于人的信念而言,是纯粹的思想中幸福而完美的自我实现,真正的神是超越了这个世界的存在。我们能够感知的世界则是不完美的,有各种生命以及欲念、不完美的思想以及欲望,一切生灵或多或少能感触到神。” Philip II shakes the head saying: „Very sorry, Mister, I have not understood.” 腓力二世摇了摇头道:“很抱歉,先生,我没听懂。” Yarrie earth Dodd smiles: „We discussed Amon, the child who he was I knew in a friend and Duk Town that grows up, General Egypt and present of resigns to arrive at the pilgrim in Macedonia long ago. The person who you will see is he, he is imperfect in this world. How he is existence, depends on him to arrive at the goal of the world. Your majesty wants to see him, depends on your majesty goal. You completely can do with oneself style, so long as conforms to the affair.” 亚里土多德笑了笑:“那我们就谈阿蒙吧,他是我早年认识的一个朋友、都克镇上长大的孩子、已经卸任的埃居大将军、如今来到马其顿的游历者。你将见到的这个人就是他,他在这个世上并不完美。他是如何一种存在,取决于他来到人间的目的。陛下想见他,取决于陛下的目的。您尽可以用自己的方式去做,只要符合事理。” Philip II nods saying: „, I understood, many thanks mister!” 腓力二世点了点头道:“哦,我明白了,多谢先生！” Next day, Philip II ordered bestows Nobility Aristotle, and hosted the private feast to entertain in the imperial palace, invited to help the two heroes of mission attend on the road, Philip II must express thanks of Macedonian Kingdom face to face. Amon and Metatro followed Assyria to go to the imperial palace, Philip II finally saw the Spiritual God. 第二天,腓力二世下令封赏亚里士多德,并在皇宫中设私宴招待,同时也邀请在路上帮助过使团的两位英雄出席,腓力二世要当面表达马其顿王国的感谢。阿蒙与梅丹佐跟随亚述去了皇宫,腓力二世终于见到了神灵。 If Philip II does not know the Amon's status, as the king, in he will only sit the notification that waits to wait on there, but welcomed the entrance of banquet hall at this moment personally. Yarrie earth Dodd brings Amon and Metatro walks, reported to the king two „hero”, Amon also very natural bows to salute toward Philip II. 如果腓力二世不知道阿蒙的身份,身为国王,他只会坐在那里等候内侍的通报,但此刻却亲自迎到了宴会厅的门口。亚里土多德带着阿蒙与梅丹佐走来,向国王介绍了两位“英雄”,阿蒙也很自然的向着腓力二世躬身行礼。 Philip II hurries to go forward to prevent saying: „Two heroes, do not need to be overly courteous, today hosts a banquet to thank specially you.” 腓力二世赶紧上前阻止道:“两位英雄,不必多礼,今天是特意设宴答谢你们的。” After taking a seat, the king proposes a toast on own initiative, Amon also raises glass confidently. In the Philip II heart has many issues, the first few words that but said were actually: „Mr. Amon, you have been to many places, why will go to Macedonia?” 入席之后,国王主动敬酒,阿蒙也坦然举杯。腓力二世心中有很多问题,但开口说的第一句话却是:“阿蒙先生,您到过很多地方,请问为何会来到马其顿？” Amon replied: „I arrive at the Sidon peninsula to travel, wants to see Mr. Aristotle, therefore came.” 阿蒙答道:“我来到希顿半岛游历,想来看望亚里士多德先生,所以就来了。” Philip II also asked: „You arrive at the Sidon peninsula, how to approach here situation, how also to regard Macedonian Kingdom future?” 腓力二世又问道:“您来到希顿半岛,如何看待这里的形势,又如何看待马其顿王国的未来？” Amon smiles, looks at Philip II saying: „This depends on you, does not depend on me. I want to ask but actually, what kind of tentative plan your majesty does have to Macedonian Kingdom future?” 阿蒙笑了笑,看着腓力二世道:“这取决于你,不取决于我。我倒想问问,陛下对马其顿王国的未来有着怎样的设想？” Philip II replied: „My idea, forms the unified union the entire Sidon peninsula, in the past because of this, can repel the attack of Bosi person. But now because of the Sidon civil strife, the Bosi talent will stage a comeback.” 腓力二世答道:“我的想法,就是将整个希顿半岛结成统一的同盟,当年正因为如此,才能打退波兹人的进攻。而如今因为希顿内乱,波兹人才会卷土重来。” Amon smiles: „Actually Aaron and Kibada have this idea, but they used mistakenly the method, will be doomed not to succeed. You realize vowing of oneself hopefully, but the enemy on this path are also many, if really arrives at that day that realized to vow, you will discover that is not the desire end.” 阿蒙又笑了笑:“其实雅伦和基巴达都有这个想法,但是它们用错了手段,也注定不会成功。你有希望实现自己的誓愿,但是这条道路上的敌人也不少,假如真到了实现誓愿的那一天,你又会发现那并不是欲望的尽头。” Philip II sighed: „Vowed naturally easily not to realize, but regardless of many enemies, I will do with every effort, if really had that day, discussed again other matters, I was not the Spiritual God, is unable to understand that were more.” 腓力二世叹道:“誓愿当然并不容易实现,但无论有多少敌人,我都会尽力去做,假如真的有了那一天,再谈其余的事,我不是神灵,无法了解更多。” Amon actually shakes the head saying: „I once also think that thinks vowing of the world is not very simple, therefore easily does not realize. Afterward discovered, actually simplest vowing is most difficult, always had more desires to urge people to go forward....... The king, I admires your courage and great ambition, helps your good luck!” 阿蒙却摇头道:“我曾经也是这么认为的,以为人间的誓愿很不简单,所以不容易实现。后来才发现,其实最简单的誓愿才是最难的,总有更多的欲望在驱使着人们前进。……国王陛下,我佩服你的勇气与雄心,也助你好运！” Then on the banquet also discussed many military, political and topic in continent various nations situation, has not gone beyond the category of the world business, is the Metatro words are on the contrary most. Amon has not made Philip II feel embarrassed, without disrespects to the Spiritual God that this king and king believe, he displays unusual confident, but true colors, whether or not the Spiritual God, he is that Amon. 接下来酒席上又谈了很多军事、政治以及大陆列国形势方面的话题,都没有超出人间事务的范畴,反倒是梅丹佐的话最多。阿蒙并没有让腓力二世为难,更没有对这位国王以及国王所信奉的神灵不敬,他表现的非常坦然而本色,无论是不是神灵,他就是那个阿蒙。 Perhaps because of this, makes Philip II feel that too does not adapt, this king even is indistinct some is not uncomfortable. He does not disrespect to Amon, but is in the subconscious does not want to be together with Amon face-to-face, because this feeling does not feel better. When Amon speech always looks straight ahead his eye confidently, the vision on enough completely understands the soul, this makes a monarchy suitable is not comfortable. 也许正因为如此,却让腓力二世感觉不太适应,这位国王甚至隐约有些不舒服。他心里并非对阿蒙不敬,而是潜意识中不想面对面与阿蒙相处,因为这种感觉不太好受。阿蒙说话时始终坦然的直视他的眼睛,目光就似够看透灵魂,这让一位君主相当的不自在。 Who thinks so him? Who will speak with him? Philip II rather offers sacrifices to worship on bended knees to the idol in shrine, in the subconscious is not willing „mortal” to drink wine with one like this. Amon has not deliberately carried the Spiritual God the rack, without arrogant, said lightly several words, let usually in accept Philip II who the common people praised to feel a little could not hold on to your hat. 谁会这么看着他？谁会这么与他说话？腓力二世宁愿向神坛上的神像献祭跪拜,潜意识中也不愿意这样与一位“凡人”饮酒。阿蒙并没有刻意端出神灵的架子,更没有趾高气扬,就是平平淡淡的说了几句话而已,却让平日里接受万民颂赞的腓力二世感觉有点坐不稳。 Offers sacrifices to the Spiritual God on behalf of the people, means that has the unsurpassed glory that the Spiritual God grants in the world ; Sits with the Spiritual God on a table drinks, the cautious atmosphere does not dare to breathe, whole body is not comfortable, is the completely different feeling. 代表民众向神灵献祭,同时也意味着在人间拥有神灵所赐予的无上荣耀;与神灵坐在一个桌上喝酒,小心翼翼的大气都不敢喘、浑身不自在,是完全不同的感受。 After the banquet ended, Philip II delivers to the imperial palace entrance the guest personally, this relaxes. Amon had not proposed that many requests, Philip II is not good to make the special arrangement, was still living by Amon in the Aristotle mansion. He a little does not want to say goodbye this Spiritual God, but in the heart cannot put down this matter, therefore told that oneself son Alexander, usually in as many as Aristotle your family place consults to the teacher. 宴席结束之后,腓力二世将客人亲自送到皇宫门口,这才松了一口气。阿蒙并没有提出更多的要求,腓力二世也不好做特别的安排,仍然由着阿蒙住在亚里士多德的府中。他有点不想再见这位神灵了,但心中又放不下这件事,于是吩咐自己的儿子亚历山大,平日里多到亚里士多德的府上向老师请教。 Aristotle is Alexander's palace teacher, teaches to teach various knowledge to Alexander, the beforehand place naturally in the imperial palace, the time must look at Alexander to be convenient. But now the situation changed, Philip II exhorted the son specially, wants him 亚里士多德是亚历山大的宫廷教师,给亚历山大授课传授各种知识,以前的地点当然都在皇宫中,时间也要看亚历山大方便。但现在情况变了,腓力二世特意嘱咐了儿子,要他每天都要到亚里士多德府中聆听教诲,也暗中告诉了他阿蒙的身份。 Philip II will do that is not difficult to understand, Amon after all is a Spiritual God, has the ability that the mortal does not have, to grasp secret that the mortal is not knowing. Although Philip II does not believe in Amon, but can the Spiritual God in Macedonia, how not want to make the son profit at someone's expense and make an advantage? As for can obtain anything in Spiritual God there, looked at Alexander oneself luck. 腓力二世会这么做不难理解,阿蒙毕竟是一位神灵,拥有着凡人所不具备的能力、掌握着凡人所不知道的秘密。腓力二世虽然不信奉阿蒙,但有一位神灵就在马其顿,怎能不想让儿子沾点光、弄点好处呢？至于能在神灵那里得到什么,就看亚历山大自己的运气了。 The narrow-mindedness of king, Aristotle is certainly well aware, actually never exposes. From this day, changes to the place that Alexander taught in Yarrie ± Dodd's in the mansion, Alexander will come every day, sometimes studied, sometimes greets the teacher. But after Yarrie ± Dodd gives the class, makes this prince play in the mansion at will, whom he is willing to ask to look. 国王的这点小心眼,亚里士多德当然心知肚明,却从未点破。从这一天起,给亚历山大授课的地点就改在了亚里±多德的府中,亚历山大每天都会来,有时候是学习,有时候是问候老师。而亚里±多德授完课后,都让这位王子随意在府中玩耍,他愿意去找谁就去找吧。 It looks like in Amon, perhaps Aristotle is the Sidon best teacher, Philip II can really quite be welcome insightful to him. 在阿蒙看来,亚里士多德也许是希顿最好的老师,腓力二世能请到他确实相当有眼光。 But Alexander this student does not think so, he will be Philip II's son and Macedonian Kingdom future successor, can say that will want anything to have anything, wants to study anything to defer to the oneself interest, will not be youngster miner on Duk Town. 但亚历山大这位学生可不这么看,他是腓力二世之子、马其顿王国未来的继承人,可以说想要什么就有什么,想学什么都能依照自己的兴趣,并不是都克镇上的少年矿工。 Alexander instinct is active, the good military unhappy study article, Aristotle in his eyes many are a stodgy old pedant, stemming from the respect to the teacher, this prince also often braces oneself to learn various knowledge, but to deal with the duty, is only hoping finished the curriculum being good to go out a bit faster equitation roaming Lie, or calls the guards to drill army. 亚历山大天性好动,好武不喜学文,亚里士多德在他眼中多少是个迂腐的老学究,出于对老师的尊敬,这位王子倒也时常硬着头皮学习各种知识,但只是为了应付任务,只盼望着快点结束课程好出去骑马游猎,或召集卫士们操演军阵。 But now Alexander enjoins to transfer the temper when father's secret, has not diligently studied to be inquisitive, every day goes into teacher your family place to consult, studying to listen is also well-mannered. Naturally, after completing study, is this young prince happiest time, he not only saw in the legend here the true Spiritual God, but also and Metatro mixed ripe. 但现在亚历山大在父亲的秘嘱下转了性子,从来就没有这么勤学好问过,每天都跑到老师府上请教,读书听讲时也是规规矩矩。当然了,完成学习之后是这位年轻的王子最高兴的时间,他不仅在这里见到了传说中真正的神灵,而且还和梅丹佐混熟了。 ( to be continued ) (未完待续)
