    288. Who am I?

    This question is very interesting. Zeus is of course Zeus, and Amon has already recognized it.  But he was thinking about something else. The face of Zeus was different from the last time he saw Leoni, the king of Kibadah. Was it the god himself who came to the world to watch the show, or was he beheading someone else?  What about the incarnation?  Or simply change an identity and come to the human world to hang out?  What does such an identity mean to the gods?

    Zeus and Amon achieved similar levels of achievement, but he achieved breakthroughs much earlier than Amon. His mastery was more profound and proficient, he understood more mysteries, and he reached a state where he had sufficient means.

    The so-called incarnations are not as simple as casually changing one's appearance or identity. If this is the case, even some ninth-level divine envoys can do it.  When it comes to Zeus's achievements, the meaning is completely different.  Vincent Bu quoted the words of Infinite Light - "Thoughts are the origin." So gods like Amon can only appear incarnations because of the origin of thoughts, and each incarnation is unique and represents the spirit of the gods.  The vows, the reflections, and the validations one has to go through in this capacity.

    In the myths and legends of the United Kingdom of Heaton, Zeus flirted with women in the world, and it is said that he had many children.  Gods are transcendent beings. The blood relationship between gods in myths across Tianshu Continent is actually an inheritance relationship between the guide and the guided.  But when it comes to Zeus, the myth is a bit confusing, and it may not be true.

    Amon thought of Gelie again. Gelie had never married and lived a pure life in the Hati Kingdom, but it was not impossible if Gelie had left descendants.  Anu came to the world as a singer through the rebirth of his soul. This was an attempt to surpass the achievements of the Creator God. It is difficult to say whether this attempt was a success or a failure.

    Zeus, like Amon, took another path. He opened up the Olympus Kingdom, and was able to freely leave the Kingdom of Heaven and come to the human world, and integrated the Kingdom of God with the original world gods.  So far, there is no obvious difference between the path Amon has pursued and that of Zeus.  But the Olympian gods seem to be deeply involved in the world. This Zeus comes to the world again and again, sometimes as a god himself, sometimes as an incarnation through the ages.

    ¡°What kind of existence does a god like him come to the human world? What kind of existence does he want to prove? And what method should he use?  These are exactly the questions Amon was thinking about on the road. He himself also walked on earth and was a driver.

    In deep thought, Amon drove into the city-state of Miduli, one of the oldest city-states in the United Kingdom of Heaton. It was also the birthplace of civilization and the economic and trade center of the Heaton Peninsula. However, after the Greco-Persian War, it  Its important position has been replaced by the city-state of Jaron, and Miduli has also joined the Alliance of Jaron.

    Aesop entered this once familiar city-state. Sixty years later, he no longer recognized many places, but the outline of the city-state's streets was still vaguely there.  He asked Amon to drive the carriage to a stop in front of a mansion, lifted the curtain and got out of the car, sighing: "This old mansion has been repaired, but it is still the same building, and the statue in front of the door is still from sixty years ago."

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

    Aesop asked: "Who is your master?"

    The servant replied: "It's Mr. Red Ackerman. This house belongs to him. But the master is not in the city and has gone to the manor outside the city to collect rent."

    Aesop looked a little excited, but he still asked as calmly as possible: "Mr. Red Ackerman? Is his father's name Ross Ackerman?"

    The servant replied somewhat strangely: "Yes, I have heard of my father's name. How do you know it and why are you here?"

    Aesop pointed to a sign hanging on the courtyard door and asked: "Is Red Ackerman going to sell this house?"

    The servant suddenly realized: "Are you here to buy a house? Mr. Ackerman offers two hundred gold coins. As long as you are willing to pay this price, you can register with the city-state property office and get the house deed. This house will be yours."

    Aesop asked: "Why did Red Ackerman sell this house?"

    The servant scratched the back of his head and said, "I'm just a servant who looks after the door. I don't know too much. I heard that the harvest at the manor is not very good. Mr. Ackerman has another new house and wants to sell the old house and the farm."  Then buy a ship and go into business. Most of the gentlemen who have made fortunes in the war recently think so."

    Aesop frowned slightly: "Of course you can make money by doing business, but you can't do without your ancestors' farms. If the city-state has no products, what can it trade with? If everyone goes into business, who will make money?"

    The servant was obviously very talkative and said with a smile: "Of course it is to make money from those foreigners. As for the farms, mines, and workshops, let others run them. The gentlemen all want to make big money, quick money, and others."? money.  "

    Aesop asked again: "If the people in this city-state do not pay attention to production and only think about the prosperity of trade, they will be in trouble once the prosperity stops. Trade itself is just the exchange of things that each other needs, and merchants can profit from it, but  If the fundamentals are ignored, the city-state can only rely on foreign products to support itself, and it will not prosper for long."

    The servant scratched the back of his head and said: "I'm just a gatekeeper. What you said are all issues that adults need to consider. Now that Miduli has joined the Yalen Alliance, the alliance is very powerful and can guarantee its trade status.  Bullshit  It¡¯s far away. Are you here to buy a house? I can take you in to have a look. If you want to buy it, Mr. Ackerman will be back before dark. 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 startled, turned around and looked at Aesop with wide eyes: "Are you also from the Ackerman family? Why have I never heard of your name?"

    Aesop explained: "My father's name is Saiins Ackerman. He is Ross Ackerman's brother and Red Ackerman's uncle. He was once a businessman and was killed at sea sixty years ago.  , but I survived by luck. This house belonged to my father, and I grew up here. I didn¡¯t expect that it still exists and still belongs to the Ackerman family. If I had been late, I might have sold it to someone else.¡±

    The gatekeeper was stunned and said: "This, this, thiscan you prove all this? Well, even if you are Mr. Aesop Ackerman, this is your housework, and I am not a servant who can interrupt. Lei  Master De is not here, are you going to wait here for him to come?"

    At this time, Metanzo had already opened the courtyard door, turned sideways and said to Aesop: "Master, please!"

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

    Reid Ackerman has a larger and more imposing house in Midori City. The house has been vacated, leaving only a cleaning maid and a housekeeper, and is preparing to sell the house.  Aesop arrived suddenly. The gatekeeper did not understand the situation and did not dare to offend him. However, Aesop had already entered the room and sat down in the living room.

    The maid asked the concierge what was going on?  The concierge whispered to her, and the maid frowned and poured water for Aesop.  Aesop smiled and rewarded them with more than a dozen copper coins. The maid's brows widened and she brought Aesop food.  The concierge took the opportunity to leave the house and ran to the house where Red Ackerman now lived to report the news.

    Amon was like a coachman, ignoring the rest of the things. He drove the car to the stable in the front yard and stopped, and tied the horse in the stable.

    Reid Ackerman arrived before it got dark.  This old man did not come alone. He also brought his three strong sons and a small group of soldiers patrolling the city. His face was filled with anger and he looked very angry.  He is now a noble. Back then, his father inherited the inheritance of his brother Saiins Ackerman and made contributions in the Greco-Persian War, becoming a new noble in the city-state.  Red himself was also one of the citizen representatives in the Miduli city-state meeting, and his eldest son Blake was also a minor leader in the city-state army.

    Reid received the message from the gatekeeper, and his first reaction was very angry, because Aesop had been dead long ago, and there had been no news for sixty years. Suddenly a man appeared claiming to be the heir of Aesop and Saiins Ackerman.  He must be a liar trying to steal property!  How could Red let the liar succeed? He immediately called his sons, and Blake Ackerman also led a group of soldiers patrolling the city.  If there is really a liar who wants to steal property, arrest the person on the spot!

    Amon heard the noise outside in the stable and knew what happened, but ignored it, while Metanzo was accompanying Aesop in the living room.  Red left the team of guards outside the yard, rushed into the living room with his three sons, and shouted at Aesop who was sitting there talking to the maid: "You liar, stand up!"

    Aesop stood up with a smile and asked: "Who are you?"

    The maid replied in a low voice: "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 home after sixty years? Don't you accept me?  Blessings and hugs from the old man?¡±

    Reid was stunned, because Aesop's facial features did bear the characteristics of the Ackerman family, and he looked very much like his deceased father.  But Black Ackerman, Red's eldest son, drew his sword, pointed at Aesop and shouted: "You liar, don't even try to pretend to be my uncle!"

    Aesop smiled slightly and sat back at the table. He looked at Blake holding the sword and said in a calm tone: "Young man, if you have something to say clearly, what are you doing with your sword?"Woolen cloth?  I said 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 you is a liar, then this liar is quite generous.  Aesop has been the city lord for more than ten years. The city-state of Salem he established is much larger than the city-state of Meduli. What scene has he not seen before?  There is a majestic air in every gesture.

    Blake still held the sword and said angrily: "You claimed to be my uncle Aesop, didn't you want to defraud the Ackerman family's property? How can you prove that you are Aesop?"

    Medanzo, who had been standing at the table, took a step forward and stretched out a hand towards Blake.  His movements carried a sense of pressure. Although Black was holding a sword, he couldn't help but take a step back and said, "What do you want to do?"

    Metazord opened his palms and held three shining flame elves in his palms. He said in a mocking tone: "Have you understood the situation? Does my master need to lie to you about this old house?"

    Reid put this old house up for sale for two hundred gold coins, and the three flame elves in Metanzo's hand can buy sixty such houses, which is a huge sum of money no matter where it is.  Red stepped forward and held down his son's arm and said: "Put away the sword, and you won't be able to speak properly?" Then he said to Aesop: "Old gentleman, who are you? Are you really my cousin Aesop?  ?¡±

    Aesop sighed: "I am Aesop Ackerman. Sixty years ago, I went to sea with my father and unfortunately encountered pirates. My father was killed and I was resold as a slave. Later, I was free and went to the Duke Plain. So many years have passed.  Now, I am getting old too, and I finally returned to my hometown, but I never thought I would be able to meet my relatives in my old home."

    Reid asked cautiously: "How can you prove that you are Aesop, and what is your purpose here?"

    Aesop smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sixty years have passed. 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 is very simple.  I want to return to my homeland.¡±

    Reid¡¯s second son, Hunter Ackerman, was the ¡°smartest¡± and immediately said: ¡°When you come back here, do you want to continue living in the old house?¡±

    Aesop nodded and said: "Yes, I want to completely repair this old house and live here until the end of my life. I don't have much time in my life."

    Hunter Ackerman smiled and said: "That's easy to do. This house is about to be sold. It was originally intended to be sold to other nobles in the city-state. If you just want to live here, you can buy it for three hundred gold coins.  Exit. No matter whether you can prove your identity or not, your wish can come true!"

    Medanzuo was startled: "Well, I just heard that it sells two hundred gold coins here. How come the price has increased so quickly?"

    Hunter chuckled and replied: "The same thing means different things to different people, so the value is also different."

    Metanzo glared at him and said, "Profiteer!"

    Hunter still smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment."

    At this time, Reid cleared his throat and said: "Old gentleman, I can't confirm your identity, but you do remind me of my cousin I haven't seen for many years. Although I know that he has long been buried in the sea, I also hope that you  That's him. I sympathize and understand your thoughts, and if you wish to live in this house, I can part with it and sell it, as my son suggested."

    At this time, Red's youngest son, Weir Ackerman, pulled his father's sleeve and whispered: "This old gentleman looks so much like grandpa! He is so rich, he can't be a liar, maybe he is."  My uncle, why don¡¯t we recognize each other first?¡±

    This sentence suddenly reminded Reid that if the old man in front of him was Aesop, he clearly returned to his hometown after getting rich. If Aesop had no heirs, then his property after his death would still belong to the Ackerman family.  It's okay to recognize a rich cousin, but looking at the current situation, he is still not sure of Aesop's intention, and Reid 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 think when my father and your grandfather separated, the property had already been clearly divided. I belong to this house."  Legal heir, why do you want to spend money to buy a house that was originally mine?"

    As soon as he heard this, Reid felt nervous. It seemed that this old man who had made a fortune in a foreign country was very stingy. The richer he got, the more money he wanted. This time he returned to his hometown to get back his ancestral gifts.  Inherited property.  In addition to this house, Red also occupies the farm that Aesop was supposed to inherit. It is more than ten times more expensive than the house, so this relative cannot be easily recognized until the situation is understood!

    But Hunter still said with a smile: "Since you are so rich, why do you care about this? In addition to the house, the old Ackerman family also has a farm, which is a good place to retire. If you like to find the feeling of returning to your hometown, IWe can part with you and sell you the farm.  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. I  I'm looking for traces of life. If I buy this house with any other identity, I would be denying my origin. If I have to deny who I am, then what's the point of returning to my homeland?"

    Black looked angry again and said: "Oh, I heard it! You insist that you are Aesop Ackerman, and you not only want to take away this house, but also want to take away our farm in the name of Aesop. You  It¡¯s a good idea, this city-state is governed by laws, and my father¡¯s name is now written on the house and land deeds, unless you can prove that they belong to you.¡±

    Aesop stood up and shook his head: "I am looking for myself. I don't want to take away your property. You have all misunderstood me, or you can't understand it at all.  Then just do what you want. It's like this in the city-state.  The dispute should be submitted to the citizens' meeting for arbitration. Until a decision is made, I will live in the inn, and the house and farm will still be yours."

    After speaking, Aesop took Metanzo out of the door, leaving the four father and son looking at each other.  Amon had already hitched the carriage, asked Aesop to get in and left here.  The group 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, Metanzo asked: "Aesop, your relatives are very interesting, they don't dare to recognize you."

    Aesop smiled bitterly and said: "No matter which family it is, if a property heir who disappeared sixty years ago suddenly comes, and there is no evidence to prove his identity, no one will easily recognize him."

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