782 A Hit

Alexander was informed of the legend of Tibias's origin as he was given the tour of the temple.

And listening to it, the biggest thing that he wondered was why they did not make the bull simply a cow.

Though he had his guesses.

The first ones to come up with the idea might have felt that giving credit to females would be demeaning. 

Or it could be that a divine bull sounded much better than an ordinary cow.

Whatever the reasons were, it was with such distracting thoughts that Alexander had made that proposal to switch the bull statue with his own goddess statue, something which caused a zealous priest to make an attempt on his life.

And it was a very good attempt at that, because given the distance the man was at, the way Alexander was standing very close to the high priest, and most of all, the unexpectedness of it all, managed to catch everyone off guard, including Hemicus and even Alexander.
