"—Ornate," said Sullius Maximus, "small, crusted with jewels, such things". "I see," I said. I wondered if one or more of his confederates had been incinerated. Doubtless the agent of priest-kings would have resisted capture, and would have been quickly, brutally slain, it being presupposed that his life would be of small value, that he was the mere carrier of the message, a message presumably in the box, and the token, which they would have supposed was his identification, his certification to be the one to whom the priest-kings had entrusted the transmission of the message. Sullius Maximus, and his fellows, then, would be unaware of the contents of the actual message. But then, so, too, was I. To be sure, the actual nature of the message, which might have been suspected by Kurii, and which, in any event, they would not have delivered to me, would be of less interest to them than the message, their message, which they would want delivered to me, as though it were the message of priest-kings. - (Swordsmen of Gor, Chapter )
