    311. Plato¡¯s Cave

    Amon smiled honestly: "Of course I welcome you to come here. But the person who created this rumor is very accurate. Even if you know it is a rumor, you will still come. Someone has calculated it accurately.  you will come!"

    Yin Nanna's expression has softened, and she said in a coquettish tone: "As long as you are happy."

    Amon grabbed her wrist, hugged her and said: "Of course I am very happy, but I would like to ask a question, what is the 'Arrow of Love' you mentioned just now?"

    Yin Nanna replied: "I didn't understand it at first. It must be just a name, but I understood it just now. You should also feel it. Someone was shot by an arrow outside the door. It is actually a touching feeling.  ,"

    Amon nodded and said: "Yes, I sensed that someone was secretly casting a spell on Alexander. When I went out to greet him, his mind was entirely on you. You were once the god of youth and love. Some methods should be better than  I know better, what is going on? Can Cupid make one person fall in love with another person, and if so, can you do the same?"

    Yin Nanna smiled bitterly and said: "As the God of Love, or the Angel of Youth and Love, the question that cannot be answered is precisely - what is love? I once heard countless prayers in the temple, people praying for God's blessing to let another person love.  Fuck him. But I never did it that way, except once."

    Amon asked: "Which time, to the Lion King or Enkidu?"

    Yin Nanna gave him a sweet slap: "What nonsense are you talking about! That man was just a stupid kid who didn't understand anything at that time. He had just walked out of the mountains and came to the outside world. He was not as smart as he is now. I said I was a  A shepherdess slave, he actually believed me and accompanied me to find the lost lamb, but he didn¡¯t know that the lamb was himself.¡±

    Amon smiled: "Oh, it turns out you were talking about me. Did you also shoot me with an arrow?"

    Yin Nanna said angrily: "If that's called the 'Arrow of Love', I wonder if that arrow hit your knee? You didn't react at all!"

    Amon smiled naively and said: "Who said that? I had a reaction and was very tempted!" Then he softened his tone and said: "But something is not right. The Alexander I just saw is obviously different from the me at that time!"

    Mu Yun explained: "People are different. Who knows what you are thinking? You were cultivating the power of one body and two sides by yourself at that time, and you just passed the test of "the devil's temptation". Without  Under my influence, otherwise you would not have helped me win the bet with Enlil. I knew it very well at the time! But Alexander is not you. Now you should understand why Cupid cannot answer what love is, because  Even the gods cannot decide it, so the 'Arrow of Love' may have nothing to do with love."

    Amon shook his head and said, "I still don't understand."

    Mu Yun narrowed her eyes and said: "Can you tell me why one person falls in love with another person? What is this so-called love? Is it a cause or a result? Is it inevitable? Is there something that should or shouldn't be possible?  And impossible?¡±

    Amon blinked: "Well I can't answer that."

    Mu Yun stretched out her finger and tapped Amon¡¯s chest: ¡°If even you can¡¯t answer, then no one can answer.¡±

    Amon: "Let's talk about the arrow just now. You are standing next to Alexander, and you should be able to sense it better than me."

    Mu Yun: "I have already explained that it is a moving feeling, just when he sees me. It can awaken the resonance of the desire in the heart and the pursuit of the soul. There is a strange feeling in the body and mind, and I feel that that is what I want.  It's like leaving a mark on his soul, making him never forget it. Alexander is just a mortal, and he may be thinking about such a question in his mind, and it was imprinted into his soul by this arrow."

    Amon blinked again: "After going through such a big circle, you might as well simply say - he is in love with you."

    Yin Nanna showed a wry smile again: "To be more precise - he is attracted to me! That tempting feeling has merged with the desire of the soul, and the arrow was successful."

    Amon frowned slightly: "Is that a plot? If it is the effect of divine magic, it can also be eliminated with divine magic."

    Mu Yun shook her head and said: "Even if you use the most advanced blessing magic, it will not make him stop wanting to fall in love, because this is his spontaneous induction. Although it is caused by external factors, his soul has been touched.  Emotions belong to him, and even if you pray for him, you can't stop him from dreaming about me."

    Amon thought for a while: "Then there is only one way."

    Mu Yun understood what Amon was talking about and reminded: "The imprint of the soul is indelible, but the memory can be sealed."?It is to seal a memory, which is a method only possessed by gods.  If you use this method against Alexander here, you will violate your agreement with Zeus.  What, are you unhappy?  In fact, this method is not unconditionally successful, and it also depends on whether the target can arouse his love.  "

    Amon smiled apologetically and said: "This also proves that you are charming enough. How could I be unhappy? But this is a trap. Someone has designed a trap for me to take advantage of your arrival."

    While speaking, Amon imprinted a piece of information into Mu Yun's soul, explaining a series of recent events.  Mu Yun also instantly realized that she had fallen into a trap, frowned and said: "I do this little trick just to leave a shadow in Alexander's mind. Every time I see you, I can't help but think of this incident.  Feeling regretful and sighing secretly. Although he still respects you and won't say things he shouldn't say, but he always thinks of these things involuntarily, I'm afraid it's not a happy thing. This is the subtlety of emotion, repeatedly trying to pry a little  Small gaps can create larger cracks over time.¡±

    Amon asked: "It's Aphrodite's method again. Why does she always do the same thing on such boring things?"

    Mu Yun grabbed Amon's hand: "You have to be careful, this method is not boring at all! Although it is just a small trouble, the accumulation of small troubles over and over can magnify unseen cracks. That is human nature  Inherent weakness. As the goddess of love, Aphrodite can of course use this type of method, and I suspect that there is someone behind her who is very clever in her calculations.

    Apollo is not your opponent. If they want to compete with you directly, they may not be their opponent, but they have taken advantage of people related to you, including Metanzo, Alexander, and now me.  Gods have weaknesses as long as they are in the human world. If you have no relationship with everything around you, then why do you exist?  So they started from here to achieve their goals.  "

    Mu Yun is worthy of being an angel who has transcended immortality and the former god of youth and love. Although she was plotted against, she saw the matter clearly when she looked back.  The person behind Aphrodite's back was the goddess of wisdom, Yalena, and Mu Yun revealed Yalena's plan and predicted that there would be trouble in the future.

    Amon nodded and said: "Actually, Schr?dinger has reminded me what will happen. This is also the test I have to face when I come here to seek verification. It seems to be just some boring troubles, but the methods of gods can often be understood after the fact.  . I also want to thank you for coming here today. Although this is the result of the calculation of the Olympus gods, you also reminded me."

    Mu Yun added: "Even I have been plotted, and it's embarrassing to stay here. I'd better leave. Now that you understand the other party's intentions, you must pay attention to everything."

    Amon smiled and said, "You don't have to be in such a hurry. Now that you're here, it won't be too late to leave tomorrow. I'll accompany you to take a nice tour of Macedonia."

    ¡­¡­

    The next day, Yin Nanna quietly left Macedonia and did not stay in Olympus. The next two months were peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

    Regarding this matter, Alexander did not mention it to anyone. He knew what not to say and what not to think too much.  But in the dead of night, he couldn't help but think of Yin Nanna's appearance and felt helpless regret.  This young prince inexplicably experienced the feeling of lovelorn. Is all this because of Amon?  In fact, he knew very well that this had nothing to do with Amon.

    ¡­¡­

    The wedding of Philip II¡¯s daughter and Alexander¡¯s sister was finally held. Due to the special status of the bride and groom, the wedding took place at the border of the Kingdom of Macedonia.  It was originally the territory of the Kingdom of Tuarch, and was occupied by Macedonia after the Greco-Persian War.

    Both Philip II and Alexander attended the wedding. Alexander had already made a decision to choose as his wife the princess who would be most helpful to the Kingdom of Macedonia in the future.  He told his father about this decision, and Philip II was very happy - this child is so sensible!

    Amon was a little worried and specifically asked Metanzo to accompany Alexander.  The purpose of this marriage arranged by Philip II was to control and annex Tuarch, and some people would not want to see it.  I think that when Amon assassinated Emperor Sinach, it was also at a wedding. No matter whether there would be any accidents, it was best to be prepared.

    Amon was on guard, but the accident still happened.  At dusk on the day of the wedding, a magician took a shuttle back to the royal capital to report that Philip II had been assassinated!

    The murderer assassinated the king and escaped with the help of his accomplices.  He was overtaken as he fled to the border and died resisting arrest, so the motive for the king's assassination will forever remain a mystery.  As soon as Philip II died, if changes occurred everywhere, the Kingdom of Macedonia would immediately face civil strife.

    Philip II¡¯s lifelong conquests?Countless, but his death was so sudden that everyone was unexpected.  Fortunately, he had made various arrangements before his death, and Alexander firmly controlled the kingdom's army.  Medanzo made a decisive decision and escorted Alexander back to the royal capital, allowing His Highness the Prince to take charge of the overall situation and ascend the throne as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.

    After this happened, of course Amon had to ask Metanzo¡ªsince he was present, why could the assassin succeed?  Metanzo was also helpless. He was following Alexander and talking to a group of gorgeous princesses when the assassin suddenly took action.

    No one can guard against this assassin's assassination. He is an eighth-level warrior, and his identity is actually the captain of the guard who personally protects Philip II!  After the assassination, people discussed and made various speculations, but no one could tell clearly why the assassin did what he did?

    ¡­¡­

    Alexander never saw Amon again after returning to the royal capital. The young prince was grieving the loss of his father and wanted to control the kingdom amid sudden changes.  Zeus had sent an oracle to bless the new king, and Alexander declared his accession to the throne the same day he returned to Macedonia.

    He also needs to hold a formal enthronement ceremony, offer sacrifices and pray to the gods under the auspices of a priest, and accept the congratulations of the ministers and people before he can become the legal new king.  So Alexander had to deal with a lot of things recently and had no time to come to Aristotle again.

    Aristotle was also busy with everything. He lived in the palace for many days in a row and was responsible for many ceremonial affairs for Philip II's funeral and Alexander's accession to the throne.  Amon still lives in Aristotle's house, as if he has become a forgotten idler with nothing to do.

    Just after Philip II was assassinated, another rumor appeared throughout Macedonia, and it turned out to be about Amon.  Back then, Amon had a notorious nickname - the Emperor Killer!  All the emperors who had met and had close contact with Amon all met a happy end, and almost all died unexpectedly within a short period of time.

    Someone mentioned Amon when discussing the death of Philip II, claiming that the reason why Philip II was mysteriously assassinated was because of Amon's curse.  Many people who spread this rumor had no idea who Amon was before, and had never even heard of Amon. However, because of the assassination of Philip II, the story of Amon quickly spread throughout Macedonia.

    It is said that there was such an evil god from a foreign country who quietly entered Macedonia and met Philip II, so this tragedy happened.

    People discussing this matter have never seen Amon, and most people don't know that Amon lives in Aristotle's house.  Such rumors sound like nonsense. Those who know the truth know that Amon had nothing to do with the death of Philip II, and no one mentioned it in front of Amon. But how could Amon not hear this?

    Amon could only smile bitterly. It turned out that he also had a curse, which was just as helpless as the famous "love curse" of Goddess Mu Yun back then.  He didn't say anything, just waiting quietly for someone to mention it to him face to face.

    Just the day before the new king's enthronement ceremony, Aristotle, who had been busy for many days, finally returned home. He came specifically to see Amon, and Metanzo accompanied him.  Metanzo's expression was somewhat embarrassed and angry, but Aristotle's expression was calm, with just a hint of tiredness and regret.

    Medanzo told Amon what kind of rumors were circulating in the Kingdom of Macedonia recently, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I don't know who deliberately created this rumor, just to force you to leave Macedonia and to make Alexander stop seeing you or hate you.  . But the person who created the rumor did not succeed, because Alexander did not believe it, and he still invited you to attend the ceremony."

    Amon sighed: "Medanzuo, you don't have to be angry. This can't be completely regarded as a rumor. People have seen the facts they saw, and what happened in the past is indeed like this. The misfortunes of those emperors each have their own  People blame me for the misfortune.¡±

    Aristotle also sighed: "My teacher Plato once told a story when he was teaching epistemology. There was a group of prisoners who had lived in a cave since childhood. Their whole bodies were tied up and they could not move or look back. They could only  They could look at the back wall of the cave. There was a fire behind them, and between the fire and the prisoners there were people holding various dolls, making movements, sometimes talking, sometimes silently.

    The prisoners can only see the image projected on the cave wall. This is the world they can see.  They will regard these images as reality, and regard the echoes of the cave as the words of images. People can only understand what they can see, and it is difficult to understand beyond what they see.  If a prisoner breaks free from his shackles, turns around and walks out of the cave, he can discover the source of those images.  "

    Amon smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, thank you for explaining it to me! Is this the source of my so-called 'Emperor Killer' curse? Are you also hinting at the meaning of transcendent immortality? In fact, I understand in my heart, I justLike the prisoner breaking free from his shackles.  "

    Aristotle further explained: "I know that there is no need to say these words to you. I just told Alexander the story of Teacher Plato to answer the rumors about you in the kingdom. So Alexander still decided to invite you to the ceremony  Watch the ceremony.¡±

    Medanzuo gave a thumbs up and said: "This kid is courageous and talented!"

    Amon waved his hand: "You haven't finished speaking yet, go on."

    Aristotle also smiled bitterly and said: "But the ministers opposed it. Those generals who followed Alexander sincerely even drew their swords and admonished him to never see you again."

    Aristotle finally told the crux of the problem. Even if Alexander himself didn't care about this rumor, others would. The more loyal his courtiers were to the new king, the more they wanted to prevent Alexander from seeing Amun.  Those who were willing to serve Alexander even risked their lives to dissuade him.  This was their loyalty to Alexander, and Alexander was not in a position to rebuke them.

    Amon replied: "I understand. In order to show his attitude, Alexander invited me to attend the ceremony. But for the safety of the new king, the loyal servants will never allow him to see me again. It seems like this is a problem, the king's  Who is more important, the authority or the loyalty of the subjects? But this problem is easy to solve. As long as I refuse the invitation, no one will have to be embarrassed."

    Aristotle nodded: "That's how it is. In fact, I don't need to say anything. You will make this decision yourself. But I still have to tell you everything myself. This is my responsibility."

    Medanzuo said angrily: "I must trace the source of the rumor! Who spread it?"

    But Amon shook his head, looked up at the sky and said: "There is no need to track down, I know who it is. These people did not make up anything, they just told people some things that happened in the past, so that everyone could see the shadow on the cave.   Mr. Aristotle, you brought me to Macedonia, and I don¡¯t want to embarrass you. Please tell His Majesty Alexander that I will not attend the ceremony, and will leave Macedonia forever before he officially takes the throne.  Don¡¯t see him again.¡±
