As the king of the world, Alexander has achieved great glory. His army is invincible and has never been defeated. All this is achieved by virtue of his excellent command ability and the hard work of his soldiers. Alexander is humble and arrogant at the same time.
He was able to put aside his status as a king and drink and have fun with ordinary soldiers and even humble civilians. But he could not accept things that were not obtained through his own efforts, except for those that he deserved, such as the throne left by his father Philip II.
.
In fact, this throne was also a trap. Philip II was good at fighting, but not an expert in economics. Alexander, who inherited the throne, was also burdened with the heavy debts left by Philip II. Alexander led the army to fight in large numbers
, to a large extent, it was to avoid debt collection by creditors and to seize spoils of war to repay the huge debt owed by Philip II.
The arrogant Alexander did not show excitement, but calmly rejected the favor of the sun god. It was as if he rejected the peace plan proposed by the defeated country. The only difference was that he rejected the peace terms of the defeated country because he wanted to
He wanted to get more and rejected the Sun God because he didn't want to get anything from the Sun God at all.
However, it is very difficult for mortals to obtain the favor of gods, but when the favor of gods comes, it is not easy to refuse.
After the Sun God was rejected by Alexander, he became very angry and immediately cursed Alexander. The Sun God cursed him to fall in his youth, and after his death, his empire also disappeared, and his once loyal tribesmen
, will completely betray the oath of loyalty to him and fight for everything he once had.
Alexander's performance was very tough. Faced with the curse of the gods, he showed no regrets. Instead, he drew his sword, cut several holes on the statue of the gods, and said proudly: "As the king of the human race, I am not used to bowing my head, even if
Even in the face of gods, I must hold my head high. I once admired Ramses II, but if he achieved such achievements under your protection, it would be nothing more than that, and he cannot bear my respect! Now I am
, my career has reached the pinnacle of my life, and there is no other meaning except death. Why should I be afraid of you threatening me with death! Naturally, only I am worthy of owning my empire. After I die, it will follow me.
It’s only natural to leave!”
Throwing these words aside loudly, Alexander walked away without saying a word about what happened in the temple. However, that night, he wrote a letter and told his mother about the incident. Alexander's mother learned of the incident and did not dare to be careless.
, summoned Alexander’s teacher, the most famous scholar in Greece at that time, Aristotle.
Aristotle read through countless classics and finally determined that the curse of the sun god was a great threat. However, he was knowledgeable and found a way to rescue it.
It is said that there is a magical country in the open sea at the end of the world. In that country, human beings can live for thousands of years. It is where the gods live. Mortals cannot approach it, but in the sea near the kingdom of gods,
There is a fountain of youth. As long as you drink the water from the fountain of youth, you can naturally resolve the curse of the sun god.
In addition, there is another option. Going up the Nile River and hunting a divine bird in the twilight land at the end can also resolve the curse on Alexander.
Alexander's view of his life is not that he can die at any time as he said in the temple. On the contrary, Alexander hopes that every inch of land under his feet will be his kingdom during his lifetime. Only in this way can he
Able to achieve a truly unprecedented and unprecedented feat. He sent his most elite warriors to the upper reaches of the Nile River to find the sacred bird in the Land of Twilight. At the same time, he personally led the army and advanced towards the east. In the geographical records at that time
Here, the end of the world and the Great Open Sea are at the end of the Indian realm.
It is a pity that he did not complete this glorious journey. The army that followed him and fought thousands of miles away could not bear the hardship of marching and fighting, and finally refused to fight. Alexander, who had already invaded the Indian region, was forced to lead his army back west.
Although during the retreat, he also sent out his confidants to search for the great outer sea world at the end of the world, but to no avail. A year later, he suddenly contracted an illness in Babylon, and the period from onset of illness to death was less than ten days.
All year round, thirty-three years old.
Like a curse, after Alexander's death, the kingdom he established was divided among his generals and quickly disappeared.
"Huh..." Chen Ziyun exhaled a breath and smiled bitterly. If this information is true, then it is really amazing.
Chen Ziyun is not someone who is easily fooled. He believes that most of the information given by Chan Shiqi should be true, but the so-called curse is hard for Chen Ziyun to believe.
It's not that Chen Ziyun doesn't believe in the power of the Sun God, but that Chen Ziyun has not forgotten the other meaning of the name "Alexander".
Guardian of humanity.
In Alexander's time, people's faith and respect for God was an insurmountable mountain. Even a high-ranking king had to lower his noble head in front of the illusory gods and use this as the basis for his rule of the world.
This is the limitation of the times. Alexander is just a human king. He may not have a vision that transcends the limitations of the times. Unless he is another kind of person.
This kind of person is the guardian of mankind just like Chen Ziyun. Only guardians have no respect for gods and dare to be enemies with them.
Chen Ziyun's speculation is that Alexander probably had a fight with a clone of a certain god in the Temple of Amun.
Alexander used the power of the guardian and consumed very little of his life force. Naturally, he could not tell the generals around him about such a thing. If the soldiers knew that their boss's time was running out, who would be able to work peacefully? For sure.
They would each make their own plans, and the empire would fall apart very quickly. So he could only write letters to his mother for help, and seek help from his learned teacher, Aristotle.
Aristotle is indeed the master of human civilization. He found two ways to help Alexander survive in a very short time. But unfortunately, it was too difficult to find these two places.
None of the warriors under his command returned, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead. In the end, Alexander the Great died.
Before he died, Alexander ordered his subordinates to dig two holes on both sides of the coffin and extend his hands outside. He claimed that no matter how much he achieved during his lifetime, he would still leave empty-handed after death.
According to the explanation of Zen Seventeen Materials, Alexander died with hatred and stretched his hands out of the coffin in order to fulfill his wish, hoping that the warriors would one day find what he wanted and put it in his hands.
Since we can't be satisfied while we're alive, it's good to have the opportunity to hold onto it after death.
This is the true attitude of this king towards life.
