288, who am I

288, Who am I

This question is very interesting. Of course Zeus is Zeus, and Amon has recognized it. But he is thinking about another thing. Zeus's appearance is different from Leoni, the king of Kibada he met last time. Was this god himself coming to the world to watch a show, or did he cut off a certain incarnation? Or did he simply change his identity and come to the world to wander around? What does such an identity mean to the god?

Zeus and Amon achieved similar realms, but he made breakthroughs much earlier than Amon, mastered them more profoundly and proficiently, and understood more mysteries, and reached a state of complete means.

The so-called incarnation is not a casual change in appearance or a change of identity. If so, even some ninth-level divine envoys can do it. The meaning of this achievement of Zeus is completely different. Vincentu reposted the words of Infinite Light - "Things are dependent origination", then gods like Amon will only have the dependent origination of thoughts, and each incarnation is unique, representing the vows, thinking and verification of the gods in this identity.

In the myths and legends of Heaton's United Kingdom, Zeus was flirting with wives on earth, and it is said that he had many children. Gods are a transcendent existence. The blood relationship between gods in the myths of various parts of the Tianshu continent is actually a inheritance relationship between the guide and the guide. But the myths are a bit puzzled when they come to Zeus, and it may not be true.

Amon remembered Gelie again at that time. Gelie lived a life of a meditative practice in Hati Kingdom without marrying, but it would not be impossible if Gelie left behind his descendants. Annu came to the world with a new life to become Gelie, which was an attempt to transcend the achievements of the Creation God. It is hard to say whether this attempt was successful or failed.

Like Amon, Zeus took another path. He opened up the kingdom of Olympus and was able to freely leave the kingdom of heaven to come to the earth, and merged with the kingdom of the original gods. So far, there was no obvious difference between the path Amon sought to prove and Zeus. However, the gods of Olympus seemed to be very deeply involved in the world. Zeus came to the earth again and again, sometimes it might be the god himself, and sometimes it might be the incarnation of the world.

What kind of existence does a god like him come to the human world, and what way should he use to prove what he wants? These are the questions Amon was thinking about on the road. He himself was walking in the human world, and he was a driver.

In contemplation, Amon drove into the city-state of Midulli, one of the oldest city-states in the United Kingdom of Heaton, and it was also the birthplace of civilization and economic and trade center of the Heaton Peninsula. However, after the Hippo War, its important position had been replaced by the city-state of Yarren, and Midulli also joined the Yarren League.

Aesop entered this once familiar city-state. Sixty years have passed, and he no longer knows many places, but the streets of the city-state are still vaguely out of it. He asked Amon to drive a carriage to a mansion and stop, lift the curtain and get out of the car and sighed: "This old house has been repaired, but it is still the original building. The statue in front of the door is still sixty years ago."

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

Aesop asked, "Who is your master?"

The servant replied, "It's Mr. Red Ackerman, and this house belongs to him. But the master is not in the city, so he goes to the manor outside the city to collect rent."

Aesop looked a little excited, but he still tried his best to ask: "Master Red Ackerman? Is his father's name Rose Ackerman?"

The servant replied strangely: "Yes, I have heard of the name of the grandfather. How did you know it? Why did you come here?"

Aesop pointed to a sign hanging on the gate of the courtyard and asked, "Does Red Ackerman want to sell this house?"

The servant suddenly realized, "Are you here to buy a house? Master Ackerman offered 200 gold coins. As long as you are willing to pay this price, you can register and get the house deed at the City-State Property Office. This house is yours."

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

The servant scratched the back of his head and said, "I am just a servant in the door, and I am not very clear. I heard that the harvest of the manor is not very good. Master Ackerman has another new house and wants to sell the old house and the farm, and then buy a boat to do business. Most of the men 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 just ignore the ancestral farms. If the city-state has no properties, what can you use to trade? Everyone goes to do business, who will make money?"

The servant was obviously very talkative and said with a smile: "Of course we are making money from the Gentiles. As for the fields, mines, and workshops, let others manage them. The men all want to make big money, make quick money, and make other people's money."

Aesop asked again: "If the people of this city-state do not value production and only want trade prosperity, once prosperity stops, they will be in trouble. Trade itself is just exchange for what each other needs, and merchants can make profits from it, but if the fundamentals are ignored, this city-state can only rely on the support of Gentile products and will not last long."

The servant scratched the back of his head and said, "I am just a gatekeeper. What you said are all issues that adults need to consider. Now Midulli has joined the Yalun League. The power of the alliance is very strong and can guarantee the trade status... It's too far. 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 surprised, turned around and stared at Iso with wide eyes and said, "You are also from the Ackerman family? Why have I never heard of your name?"

Aesop explained: "My father is called Seinth Ackerman, who is Rose Ackerman's brother and Red Ackerman's uncle. He was once a businessman who died at sea sixty years ago, but I survived by chance. This house belongs to my father. I grew up here, but I didn't expect it to be there and still belong to the Ackerman family. If I came one step late, I would probably sell it to someone else."

The gatekeeper was stunned and said, "This, this... can you prove all this? Well, even if you are Mr. Aesop Ackerman, this is your housework, and it is not something I, a servant, can interrupt. Mr. Red is not here, are you going to wait for him here?"

At this time, Medanzo had already opened the courtyard door and turned sideways to Iso, "Master, please!"

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

Red Ackerman has a larger and more grand house in Midully City. The house has been emptied, leaving only a clean maid and a house looking at the house, and is about to sell the house. Aesop suddenly arrived, and the gatekeeper was not sure about the situation and dared not offend him. Aesop had entered the house and sat down in the living room.

The maid asked the gatekeeper what was going on. The gatekeeper muttered to her a few words, and the maid frowned and poured water for Aesop. Aesop smiled and praised them for more than a dozen copper coins. The maid's brows spread out and brought food to Aesop. The gatekeeper took the opportunity to leave the house and ran to the mansion where Red Ackerman now lives to report the news.

Amon, like a coachman, ignored the rest, drove the car to the front yard and stopped, and tied the horse to the hut.

Before it was dark, Red Ackerman arrived. The master did not come alone, and he also brought three strong sons and a small team of city patrol soldiers, with anger on his face. He was now a nobleman, and his father inherited the legacy of his brother Seinth Ackerman and made contributions in the Hippopotamian War and became a new noble in the city-state. Red himself was also one of the citizens' representatives in the Midulli City-state Conference, and his eldest son Black was also a small leader in the city-state army.

Red received a report from the gatekeeper and was very angry at his first reaction, because Aesop had long died and had no news for sixty years. Suddenly, a person called himself Aesop. Sainz Ackerman's heir must be a liar who was trying to seize property! How could Red let the liar succeed? Then he called his sons. Black Ackerman also brought a team of soldiers patrolling the city. If he really wanted to come to seize property, he would capture the person on the spot!

Amon heard the noise outside in the pedestal, and knew what was going on, but ignored it. Medanzo accompanied Aesop in the living room. Red left the guard outside the yard, and rushed into the living room with his three sons, shouting 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 whispered from the side: "He is Mr. 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 your cousin who has returned after leaving home sixty years? Don't you accept the blessings and hugs of me, the old man?"

Red was stunned because Aesop's facial features did have the characteristics of the Ackerman family, and looked very much like his dead father. But Red's eldest son, Black Ackerman, drew out his sword and pointed at Aesop and shouted: "You liar, don't 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, please make clear what you want to draw the sword? I said my name, and you said I am a liar. What did I lied to you? Does Aesop's identity belong to you?"

If the old man in front of him is a liar, then this liar is very arrogant. Aesop has been the city lord for more than ten years, and the city-state he established is much larger than the city-state of Midulli. What scene has never been seen before? He has a majestic demeanor in every move.

Black still held the sword and said angrily: "You claim to be my uncle Aesop. Don't you want to cheat the property of the Ackerman family? How can you prove that you are Aesop?"

Medanzo, who had been standing by the table, stepped forward and stretched out a hand towards Black. His body moved with a sense of pressure. Although Black was holding the sword, he couldn't help but step back and said, "What do you want to do?"

Medanzo opened his palm, holding three shiny flame elves in his palm. He said in a sarcastic tone: "Do you know the situation? Can my master deceive you in this old house?"

Red listed the old house for sale, selling 200 gold coins, and the three flame elves in Medanzo's hand can buy sixty such houses, which is a huge sum of money no matter where it is. Red stepped forward and pressed his son's arm and said, "If you put away the sword, you won't speak well?" Then he said to Iso: "Old gentleman, who are you? Is it really my cousin Aesop?"

Aesop sighed and said, "I am Aesop Ackerman. I unfortunately met a pirate with my father sixty years ago. My father was killed. I was resold to a slave. Later, I was free to go to the Duke Plain. After so many years, I have grown old and finally returned to my hometown. I didn't expect to meet my relatives in my old house."

Red asked carefully: "How can you prove that you are Aesop, what is your purpose?"

Aesop smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's been sixty years since I left here. I was only sixteen years old. I am Aesop Ackerman, but I don't know how to prove it. As for my purpose, I'm very simple, I want to return to my hometown."

Red's second son Hunter Ackerman was the smartest 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 have not had much time in my life."

Hunter Ackerman smiled and said, "That's easy to do. This house is about to be sold. I originally wanted to sell it to other nobles in the city-state. If you just want to live here, you can buy it for three hundred gold coins. Whether you can prove your identity or not, you can realize your wish!"

Medanzo was stunned: "Well, I just heard that there were two hundred gold coins sold here, why did the price increase in the blink of an eye?"

Hunter replied with a chuckle: "The same thing means different things to different people, so they are of different value."

Medanzo glared at him and said, "The profiteer!"

Hunter still laughed, "Thank you for the compliment."

Then Red cleared his throat and said, "I can't confirm your identity, this old gentleman, but you do remind me of my cousin whom I haven't seen for many years. Although I know he has been buried in the sea, I also hope you are him. I sympathize with and understand your thoughts. If you want to live in this house, I can give up and sell it, just like my son's suggestion."

At this time, Red's youngest son, Val Ackerman, pulled his father's sleeve and whispered: "This old gentleman looks so much like a grandpa! 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 was Aesop, he would return to his hometown after he became rich. If Aesop had no heir, then his property after his death would still belong to the Ackerman family. It would be nothing to recognize a rich cousin, but looking at the current situation, he could not confirm Aesop's purpose, and Red was very hesitant for a moment.

Aesop ignored what he was thinking and sat there and asked Hunter: "This is my father's house. I remember when my father and your grandfather split the family, the property had already been clearly divided. I am the legal heir of this house, so why did I spend money to buy the house that was originally mine?"

When Red heard this, he felt nervous. It seemed that the old man who made money in a foreign country was very stingy. The richer he had, the more he wanted more money. This time he returned to his hometown, clearly he wanted to get back the property that his ancestors should have inherited. In addition to this house, Red also occupied the farm that should have been inherited by Aesop, which was more than ten times more expensive than the house. So before he could figure out the situation, this relative could not easily recognize him!

But Hunter still said with a smile: "Since you are so rich, why care about these things? In addition to your house, there is also a farm, which is a good place for retirement. If you like to find the feeling of returning to your hometown, we can give up 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, "This is not a matter of money. Young man, you don't understand the mood of an old man like me. The reason why I returned to my hometown is because I was born here, this is where I came to this world, and I am looking for traces of my life. If I spend money to buy this house in another capacity, it is equivalent to denying my origin. If even who I am, then what is the meaning of returning to my hometown?"

Black said with anger again, "Oh, I heard it! You insist that you are Aesop Ackerman. You not only want to take away this house, but also want to take away our farm in the name of Aesop. You think it is beautiful. This city-state is legal. The house deeds and land deeds now have my father's name written on it, unless you can prove that they belong to you."

Aesop stood up and shook his head, "I am looking for myself, not trying to take away your property. You have misunderstood my meaning, or can't understand it at all... Then do what you want. Disputes like this in the city-state should be submitted to the citizen meeting for arbitration. Before a ruling is made, I will live in the inn, and the house and farm are still yours."

After saying that, Aesop took Medanzo out the door, leaving behind four fathers and sons looking at each other. Amon had already set up a carriage and asked Aesop to get in and leave here. The team of soldiers waiting outside the door didn't know what was going on, and they didn't receive the order to intercept, so they could only watch them leave.

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

Aesop said with a wry smile: "No matter who it is, a property heir who disappeared sixty years ago suddenly came, and he could not provide evidence to prove his identity, and no one would easily recognize him."

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