Chapter 560 The promising young man
The little lemure who had just entered the city had now put on decent clothes, stood in front of Melina and talked, speaking vividly about the secretary of the second level of hell.
Amberxiu didn't show up, just hiding in the magic mirror and listening to the little lemure's description.
When he had finished speaking, Amberxiu asked Melina to send the little leprechaun back.
“Father, your enemy has actually become the secretary of the second level of hell... This official position sounds very big!”
Ambrose reminded Melina before that she should never take offense when encountering those three names. Melina thought her father was too cautious.
I didn't expect that the first person here would be of this status.
The owner of the second level of **** is Iron Duke Dispater. He is famous for not liking to appear in public. He usually likes to hide in his steel castle, as if he doesn't care about anything.
But there has been no trouble in the second level of hell, unlike the first level of **** where there was betrayal and resistance. In a **** where everyone is not a good person, he can maintain a low profile and stabilize an entire level of hell, which shows the ability of this Iron Duke.
Being able to become Dispater's chief secretary, this Salvatore is naturally very outstanding, and time must be taken into account. Amberxiu is only a few hundred years old, and his enemy will not go to **** for more than this number of years. .
In a few hundred years, from a little lemure at the bottom to a secretary in the second level of hell, how awesome is that?
Amberxiu also said with emotion: "Salvador has no problem being a secretary. He is probably the best person I have ever met in handling government affairs. Do you know what he did when he lived in the main material plane?"
Melina asked curiously: "Is it a human lord?"
Amberxiu shook his head, and then said: "When I met him, he was the clerk of the Lion Empire's Privy Tribunal. If he had not met me, he might have become the youngest supreme judge of the Lion Empire."
Melina blinked and said doubtfully: "The Supreme Judgment... isn't that good either."
Amberxiu said to his daughter in embarrassment: "Melina, you are too disrespectful. The Lion Empire was so powerful back then, and the Supreme Judgment was equal to the position of the Prime Minister of the Empire!"
“But...well, father, please continue.”
Melina didn't know how to explain it. Anyway, in her short life of just over a year, the Supreme Judgment seemed to be a bit out of the spotlight, let alone a clerk who had the chance to become the Supreme Judgment in more than three hundred years.
But his father said he was very good, so he must be really good. It would be better not to express his opinion.
Amberxiu also realized that Melina's knowledge span was a bit too great. She was born as a legend. Her mother was the Queen of the Undead in the Underdark. When she opened her eyes, she saw tens of millions of undead slaves, and all she knew were mourning poems. Those strong men in the society, all they saw later were gods.
In a very few battles, the ones fought were either Lolth's Chosen One or the puppets created by Zariel. Later, he saw the battle with the Dragon Tyrant, and recently he went directly into Hell to become the Hell Lord of a large territory.
These things seem to have completely destroyed the original Salvador. Even Amberxiu himself was beyond his reach. In the first ten years after he time traveled, he was still a low-level pariah who had to worry about not having enough to eat.
This is not the life experience that a normal child should have at all. That is to say, Melina has a relatively innocent personality. Others would have been accustomed to looking at people through their nostrils.
But Amberxiu still wanted to remind Melina of the greatness of Salvador.
"It probably happened more than three hundred years ago. I have memory loss and I can't remember many details clearly. But I remember that I had mastered the power of destiny and became an official prophecy mage. I just used the saved I bought a bottle of youth potion with the money, and I feel like I have regained my youth, just like now..."
Amberxiu said, slowly falling into memories.
After spending all his money and buying a bottle of youth potion, Amberxiu went from an octogenarian to a young man again. He went to Lane with great ambition, wanting to see what the holy country that all human beings longed for looked like.
Then he met young Salvador.
Salvador graduated from Lane Theological Seminary and is considered a devout believer with established roots. He is a senior priest at a young age and becoming a legend is only a matter of course. After graduating from the seminary, he was sent directly to the Privy Tribunal to work as a clerk. After three years, he knew the laws of the empire by heart and was appreciated by the supreme ruling at the time.
However, the Privy Inquisition was very taboo against nepotism. Even though it liked the young man, the supreme judge at the time decided to send Salvador out as usual.
After working in a grass-roots tribunal for more than ten years, and rising from the most ordinary confessor to a regional bishop, one can almost return to the Imperial Inquisition in the imperial capital and become the deputy to the Supreme Judgment, and then he can take over smoothly without making any major mistakes.
At Salvador's age at the time, he had the potential to become the youngest Supreme Judge. But unfortunately, in the second year of his exile, he met Amber Xiu.
It was a dispute between humans and foreigners. At that time, Lane had not yet started a full-scale war with the dwarf kingdom, and there were still occasional trade exchanges.
At that time, Ryan's human supremacy was deeply rooted, so humans often bullied foreign races.
The dwarves came to trade, but they were immediately arrested, all their property was confiscated, and they were sentenced to thirty years of hard labor. The reason was that the dwarves insulted the Lord of the Dawn in their words.
And Amber Xiu came with this dwarf merchant and fully understood the whole story. In fact, it was the dwarves who suffered discrimination after entering the city. They couldn't help but curse: "Does the teaching of the Lord of the Dawn teach humans to discriminate against foreigners? Does this also qualify them to call themselves justice and light?"
This is actually not too serious a statement, but to the fanatical Lane people, it is blasphemy to their gods.
Amberson had never seen such a fanatical belief at that time, but he still wanted to save people.
Asking around, I heard the name of El Salvador.
I heard that this pastor has a profound background and has great influence in this border city. It may be possible for him to come forward to reduce the crime.
As a prophecy mage, it was not difficult to meet Salvador by chance. The two met in a tavern on a very ordinary afternoon.
The priest does not drink, but Salvador likes to sit quietly in the pub, observing the daily life of the common people in the city, and sometimes hears a lot of unexpected news.
Amberson just sat next to him and took the opportunity to chat.
Salvador was surprised by Amberxiu's knowledge, and even more curious about what a prophetic mage was. Amberxiu also admired this priest who was in a high position but was not domineering. Perhaps because they are both smart people, the chat was pleasant and the two of them had developed a friendship.
Amberxiu also understood that it was impossible to ask Salvatore to help release the dwarf trader just after chatting.
So it took some time to become a real friend with this pastor. More than half a year later, Amberxiu formed a team with Salvador and solved several crises in the town.
Lyan's border cities will never lack trouble, such as kobolds, goblins, undead... It is no exaggeration to say that there will be a small fight every few days.
And Amberxiu's prophecy ability has solved a lot of troubles for Salvador, and he can be regarded as a comrade-in-arms relationship. Salvador invited Amberxiu more than once to become a believer in the Lord of the Dawn, and also recommended him to join the seminary in King Llane for further studies.
Seeing that the relationship was close, Amberxiu was ready to mention the dwarf's business.
It's just that he didn't expect Salvador to speak earlier than him, but what he mentioned was more deviant and blasphemous words that were almost heretical at the time.
"Don't you think that Ryan's belief in the Lord of the Morning is too fanatical and has gone to extremes? If this continues, it won't be long before he becomes the enemy of the whole world."
That was more than three hundred years ago. Lane was the most powerful empire in the world, and it had not yet reached the point where it was the enemy of the whole world, but Salvador had already seen the future.
Amberxiu was shocked. How could the future supreme judge dare to say such a thing? If word spread that his future would be ruined, he would definitely be in big trouble.
But Amberxiu agreed with Salvador's words that he was a human being, but because he did not believe in the Lord of the Dawn, he would still attract a lot of outrageous discrimination in this city.
“I want to change everything, starting with your friend's case.”
Ambershoe recalled and said to Melina: "That's what he said at the time."
Melina quickly asked: "What happened next? Aren't you friends? How could you become enemies?"
Ambershoe said helplessly: "Because he said he wanted to end this fanaticism, but he didn't know that he was also a member of this fanaticism, and his degree of madness was deeper than others."
