The most notable moment for me was when Methuselah and Matthias figure out what "I am that is" means. Matthias had always wanted to be just like Martin the Warrior, and when he figured out he was "the chosen one" to take Martins place as the Abbeys warrior, he was determined to find Martin's sword. This marks the beginning of "the quest" in the book, which to me, was the most important part of the entire story. After cracking the first code, Methuselah and Matthias begin to solve all the other riddles that would lead Matthias to the sword.
"It couldn't mean anything else! Your name has eight letters in it. So has 'am that is.' An M, two A's, two T's, an H, an I and an S. Whichever way you look at it, Matthias or 'am that is,' it comes out the same."
