Pivot of the Sky

After breakfast, Miriam warmly persuaded Amon to go out and have Fuchsia accompany him and give Fuchsia a a lot of change. She said to Amon, "Why did you have to shop so politely yesterday and tell Fuchsia if you need anything?" ”

Fuchsia held Amon's arm tightly, his body almost close to his side, and said with a smile: “The king is very large, many gardens are open to civilians, there are various small merchants and jugglers, but it's lively, today I will go with you to take a good look. ”

Amon nodded with a smile: "Well, thank you! ”

Amon played in the city for another day, and the king did make the children in the mountains look a little confused. If you come to peace with him, he asked Fusa all kinds of interesting things and asked about things he had not seen before. He said to Fuchsia on the way: "This is a bustling place. My eyes are almost full of flowers. It was only in Wangdu that I felt so many wonderful things in the world. Everyone here can see what they want, but also know what they are doing in the eyes of the gods. ”

As he said this, he was walking through the square in front of the Temple of Marduk with Fuchsia in his arms, and he didn't know if Fuchsia understood.

After dinner, Mia whispered Fuchsia into her room and asked, "Anything new today? What else did Amon have on him, and what was particularly noteworthy? ”

Fuchsia thought and answered: “While walking around Temple Square watching jugglers, I touched him with my body and touched a long, hard thing under my clothes...”

Miriam blushed slightly, “How could you touch him in the square? I let you seduce him, but I can't... even if I can't wait to go home, even in the carriage... can't I? ”

Fuchsia's face also turned red, quickly explaining: "Mother, you misunderstood, not with a man, but with a long, hard object hidden beneath his ribs. So close and careful, it must be very precious! ”

Miriam nodded slightly with curiosity: "Oh, well done!... but why did you just let Amon go back to his room to rest alone and not go with him? ”

Fuchsia bowed her head with some grief: "It was Amon who refused my request to make a bed for him and wait for him to wash, saying he didn't like being disturbed when he rested.... Mother, isn't my charm enough? ”

If Fusha knew that Yoon Nanna had seduced Amon, then the temptation of the goddess was much more intelligent than her little maid's trick, and Amon didn't think she should have any thoughts at all, and she didn't know what to think or whether she would feel grieved? Miriam stared at her face and said, "No, you're very attractive. You should be attractive enough to a man. Probably because you're Medanzo's maid, so he feels a little embarrassed. Tomorrow I'll persuade him to relax. ”

The next day, before leaving, Mia deliberately said to Amon in private: "Fuchsia adores and admires you very much, if you don't mind, just let her serve you and ask for anything. ”

Amon smiled politely and nodded, “Thank you, I know! In fact, how can I make more requests if she's playing Wangdu with me like this? … when you look inside, you need to know what you're thinking, what you want to get, and what you deserve? Just like when we do everything, we should bear the consequences. ”

I don't know how much Miriam understood, but when she came home this day, Amon didn't bring Fuchsia into her room. By the third day, Gilgamesh was leaving Wangdu, and a grand carnival had finally returned. Gilgamesh stayed in Barren City for quite a while this time, and some people are even talking privately about whether he took the opportunity to marry Princess Siu? But Princess Xiao Xi never returned to Wangdu. This speculation does not break itself.

Gilgamesh sat under the Chinese umbrella on the carriage and left in the mezzanine cheers of the people of the city. The King sent a royal guard to send Gilgamesh ten miles away from the city gate. It was an immense honor, and only a hero like him deserved it! Heroic folk sent Gilgamesh further away, the procession stretched 30 miles away, and today the king ordered that the gates of the city not be curfew at night, and that everyone could enjoy the party.

Amon also left the city in a Medanzo carriage, rushed by Miali's younger brother Enoch, which was both a tour and a farewell, and Amon took everything with him and was on his way home. The car is loaded with wine and food, Fuchsia sits next to Amon with her arms around her, and her other hand picks open the curtains to introduce the scenery along the way from time to time.

Ten miles out of town, the wagon leaves the official road and turns onto another hillside wild road. The early winter weather is a little chilly, but today's sunshine is perfect for a suburb, with warm furs on, wine and roasted, oily steaks at the Mountain Clear Water Show, a rare leisure for people living in the metropolitan area.

In winter the grass and trees wither away, the yellow colour in the mountains is not funny in the bright sun, the sky is blue and the wind is gentle. The carriage stopped at the edge of a lake surrounded by hills, and the yellow grass was softer and more comfortable to sit on than it was during the green summer months. Today is a field trip, so Enoch dressed up as a samurai, wearing a short sword at the waist to both defend himself and cut meat at dinner.

The carriage is parked on a sunny meadow on the hillside of the hill. It can capture the light of the lake and shelter from the wind. The surrounding area is very quiet. On three sides is the mountain forest, on one side is the lake, and there is no one there. It is a wonderful place!

Enoch brought down things like wine and meat from the carriage and a table stove, and Amon reached out to help, Miriam packed the tableware, and the maid Fuchsia took a can to the lake to get some water. After putting everything away, Amon looked at the blue lake and sighed: "What a clean lake, the air is so fresh, in the sun, as if the soul could be purified. ”

Enoch frowned slightly dissatisfied: "What took Fursa so long to get water? Where did you go to play, picking wild fruit in the woods? I don't understand. Let the honorable guest wait here! ”

From the hillside to the nearest shore of the lake, you need to go down through a small forest, where you can't see Fuchsia fetching water. No wonder she hasn't been there long. "It may be that the water tank is too heavy and the hillside is too steep," said Ammon. "Don't fall on the road. Prepare the tableware, I'll check it out. ”

Amon walked down the hill through the woods to the lake, waiting for him to go away, and Miari lowered her voice to Enoch: "My brother, do you have any idea how to do this? ”

Enoch narrowed his eyes: “When Fuchsia returns, let her take Amon to the stove to see if the barbecue is not ready. You hold his other hand on the other side, and I will solve it from behind the sword.... if you're scared, you pretend to be smoked and close your eyes, you don't need to see anything.” Speaking, he pulled out his sword and placed it next to the barbecue stove.

“You don't see anything, do you? Poor me, you didn't give up until you saw it all! ”

A cold voice suddenly rang behind his back, frightening both of his souls away, while Enoti sword turned around and stood still. Only Medanzo came out of the woods with a long sword with a sheath and a faint trace of uncoated blood on it.

Medanzo's calm face didn't go very quickly, slowly approaching one step. After a brief surprise, Miriam's back was quietly strangled by Enoch before suddenly turning back to God and realizing what she was doing, she opened her arms and squeezed out a smile to greet her: “You're finally back! My dear husband, how I missed you. Did you see our carriage following us in the parade? Your distinguished friend Amon is also here, and he happens to be leaving, and we are here today to practise for him. ”

The look on Medanzo's face seemed like he was trying to laugh but couldn't laugh, and he nodded, “Yes, I know everything. You guys were great. I've just asked Fuchsia, not only what I want to know, but also a lot of things I didn't know before, shaming me and my family! I find it disgusting and don't want to repeat it. ”

As soon as Enoch heard this, he realized that the blood on the Medanzo sword was not good, and suddenly he rushed towards the nearest Medanzo without a word, and the short sword in his hand was cold enough to stab him in the chest. Medanzo seemed to have been guarded long ago, so lightly on one side, avoiding the fierce prick, he heard a scream, his sword stabbed under Enoch's ribs, and then Miali screamed in horror.

……

Amon stood by the lake with his back, and the woods behind him blocked his sight from the hillside. He heard Mia Li screaming, but the screaming stopped, like a chicken suddenly broke his neck. Amon closed his eyes and opened them again a little while later, looking at the beautiful lake in the sun and wondering what he saw.

A long time later, the woods were ringing, and Medanzo walked to the lake, and his sword had fallen into the sheath with a sad look on his face. He came to salute Amon: "My God, I do not know how to express my shame to you! ”

Amon did not turn back and said in the same sad tone: "I did not let you kill them. ”

Medanzo bit his lip: “I pointed my sword at Fuchsia to interrogate, not only asking what they were planning on you, but also something that embarrassed me.... None of them understood your suggestion and admonition, and by the end of the day they had not given up, let blood be my sacrifice to the gods! Amon, you are my only god, and if you do not come, I will always be blinded and live in the shame of the unknown. ”

Amon didn't ask Medanzo what else was going on. He turned around and looked at him with a sympathetic look: “The three men are gone. What are you going to do now, just go home? ”

Medanzo replied, "It's so quiet here. Nobody knows they've been here and stayed forever. It's their choice, isn't it? … Amon God, I have nothing to love in Barron City, please allow me to follow you on your journey to the mainland and be your servant! ”

Amon thought about it and finally nodded: “That's okay, I'm really afraid you'll do something else, but your house is still here, go back and settle down, I'll wait for you for three days. ”

……

Four months after leaving, Medanzo, a civilian samurai who had lost his nobility, finally returned home to his servant, but his beautiful young wife, Miali, was not home to greet her husband. Miriam left town yesterday with a young man with a maid and never came back. The man had lived in his house for a month, and his hands were very generous. He should be a young wealthy businessman who came to Wangdu to play. His gains in Wangdu were quite impressive - the neighbors talked about it.

Medanzo naturally heard the rumors and sat at home waiting with a gloomy face, but Miriam didn't come back one more day and night. The neighbors are talking again. Did Mia run off with the man?

Follow a wealthy businessman with money and leisure time, better than keeping an empty house for months a year and following that unreliable Medanzo! To tie the man's heart, Miriam even stuck a beautiful maid named Fuchsia. I wonder how Medanzo would feel to hear such rumors?

After waiting for another day at home, he finally became unbearable, demobilized the doorman, the horse and other servants, entrusted the ancestral house to a distant relative for guardianship, and left Barren City with his sword and sack. People are talking privately about Medanzo going to Miari again. He might have to fight the young rich businessman. I wonder if he can make it back.

……

On an official road in the kingdom of Barren, in the state of Kish, a serious Medanzo drove two horse carriages, his eyes looked forward but he didn't know where to look, just let the horse wander randomly, looking distracted again. The wagon was lent to Amon by Lescott-Lee, who was not comfortable driving the wagon when he entered town, left it in a town inn and paid his buddy enough money to take care of the two horses. On his return, he retrieved the car, except that the driver changed to Medanzo.

The curtain didn't go down, and Amon was sitting in the car studying the serpentine, wondering what kind of appliance it could be processed into. The processing of the artefacts is not always successful. Even the materials are accidentally damaged. Amon, although taught by the most outstanding master craftsmen on the mainland, has never handcrafted the artefacts. There is only one serpentine, of course, to be cautious.

The carriage suddenly got a little bumpy, and Amon knew Medanzo was lost again. The road to Medanzo has been so melancholy, much more melancholy than the cat, that the falling apart is often silent for more than half a day. At this time, Medanzo was already a Level 3 magician, and his mind was determined not to be easily disturbed, but it would not be pleasant for anyone to encounter such a thing, and his feelings would not change because of his conviction.

As Amon understands it, any kind of test encountered in the cultivation of the divine arts does not just mean that junction, but actually runs through all the time.

Amon didn't want to look at Medanzo so depressed, try to find something easy to distract him from and let go of the snake muscle and ask, "Medanzo, what are you thinking? ”

Metanzo shook his shoulders slightly, whipped a whip, and the horses ran smoothly again, and he replied, "No, I don't think anything, I'm just stunned. ”

Amon also asked: "The gates of Barron City have been checked by the guards, but every time you pass smoothly with contraband, how exactly did you do it? Is there a trick you can tell me? ”

Medanzo revealed a shallow smile: "My Amon God, there is no know-how. There are so many people in and out of the King every day that it is not possible for everyone to be examined, and the Guard only stops people they think are suspicious. I've been here many times, and I'm a resident of Wang Du, and they all know each other. Besides, I am a middle-class samurai, the soldiers of the Simon Guard, many of whom used to practice physics with me. The captain has a good relationship with me. How can you look me up? ”

Amon nodded: "Oh, I see! ”

As he continued to speak, Medanzo seemed to be feeling a little cheerful, but always with a melancholy look. They are headed west, the state of Kish is situated in the north-west direction of the Kingdom of Baron, close to the edge of the Assyrian plateau, to the north is the mountainous Emerald Mountain, over the plateau is the Kingdom of Assyria, and to the west is the valley of the young bottom in the mountainous hills.

Geographically, it is closer to the distant lower river, the dwarf tribe where Link is located. Medanzo was not afraid to cross the mountainous hills, the most troublesome was to cross the river before, the underwater river had a relatively smooth flow in the mountains, and the valleys on both sides of the bank were relatively wide, which could have been a ferry.

No one had crossed the river from there in the past, because that area was the nest of Humbaba. The situation is different now that Humbaba has been slaughtered by Enqidu, and Kish City State has taken the opportunity to set up a ferry on that river section with troops stationed there, although crossing the river from that ferry will require crossing a mountain road much shorter than detouring from Uruk City State.

The plan was to let Medanzo follow him for a while, cross the river from that ferry, and then let Medanzo go north to the tribe of Link, while he himself handed over Nero's relics to Cape Town State of the Ecumenical Empire to the south.

Medanzo's tertiary divine power has cultivated to its peak, and according to the two-sided cultivation method taught by Amon, he is next faced with the physical test of "purity of blood". Medanzo is already a Class IV samurai and has inadvertently passed such a test that it would be much easier to do it again, but a quieter and uninterrupted environment is needed.

In his present state, he needs to be quiet, so Amon wants him to temporarily go into the wildling tribe until he becomes a Level 5 magician through the Temptation of the Devil. Unlike the experience of Amon, Medanzo did not lack human experience, and he had seen the true face of the so-called devil clearly enough.

Of course they are not afraid of the cold of winter and the perils of the wild. They live in the wilderness after missing their sleepover, resting in the mountains and woods on that night. Amon found a quiet place to practice basic meditation in the arts, which he never interrupted, no matter what he went through.

While Amon was in deep thought, he heard Medanzo sleeping in the carriage shouting Miriam's name, and his voice was painful - he was having nightmares again.
