Pivot of the Sky

The girl was long gone from the brothel, when Faust injured a man in the brothel without a trace, and he injured a young officer who had just returned from the front line. The soldiers who had come to seek revenge had no trouble finding a brothel in Faust, smashing the brothel's doors and dismantling two halls, wounding several nursing homes.

The brothel, which was the property of the Alpha family of the Imperial Chancellor, happened again during the funeral of Emperor Sinah, so the troubled officers were severely punished because they had not been thrown into prison, but had been dismissed from their posts and paid a large sum of money. This is more or less the Alpha family taking advantage of Levy, the impulsive officer turning into a wretch, and the girl involved.

The girl spent a lot of money to compensate the officer, and that money was the magic stone that Faust had generously given to the girl, who had left the brothel and was said to be marrying the officer who had been dismissed, which was also a good place to go. But the officer did not marry her, or could not marry her, and he accepted the girl's money and brought her home, and was then sent to the front.

The officer, a Class Six Warrior who lost his official position, remained important in the battlefield and was heavily weighed by the Commander, who continued to command a cavalry that could not be restored if merit was established.

The officer was on the front line and the girl stayed at the officer's house. No one knows if the officer really wants to marry the girl, but he did take a large sum of money to save himself from prison and promised to marry her. In addition to compensating officers for the damage done to the brothel, the girl's money was paid to the officer to subsidize the household, so that he could not worry about it on the front line.

The officer came from an aristocratic family with no title and enclosure, much like that of Medanzo, whose father had died, with an elderly old mother and a group of servants. But the officer's family, especially his mother, did not like the girl very much. After the officer's departure, the old lady did not treat her as a daughter-in-law. She was treated less favourably than the maid at home, and even the servants often humiliated and bullied her with the permission of the hostess.

The reason is simple, the old lady thinks that it is because this whore is obsessed with her son that the son will commit the crime and even lose his official position, and the girl is responsible for all this. The old lady had no objection to her son's decision because she needed the girl's money to save her son from prison, but when things were over and the officers were on the front line again, how could this family give the girl a good look? How could the old lady want her son to marry a cheap whore, and her beauty was a sin?

By Faust status and means, it is naturally not difficult to find out the girl's whereabouts or to impress anyone to sneak into the military officer's house to meet her. The wise master of the State only learned at this time that the girl's real name is Magan Tears.

Once again, Faust saw Magan tears. It was the early winter season. There was a small breeze in the backyard. The big wooden pot was full of dirty clothes. The girl sat by the wooden pot and washed her clothes with her head down. Her hair was wrapped with an old headscarf, and a strand of hair draped over her forehead with a rhythmic shake as she scrubbed it hard. Her face was still beautiful, her skin was still so pale and delicate, but she could not hide the gloomy colour. Her hands were freezing red in cold cold water and many places were cracked.

Faust stood across from the wooden basin and looked at her quietly, grieving in his heart. Did he cause her such a fate? But what happens if she never sees Faust or what happened a few years ago?

Magan's tears were weak and kind, otherwise she would not have used her own money to save the wrongdoing officer. But the ill-treatment to which she is now subjected at the home of an officer cannot be said to be without cause, and the idea of an officer's mother is a common practice in the world. If you want to mourn, mourn the world. Isn't it just as full of regret and helplessness in the hearts of powerful and learned people like Faust?

Faust concealed his body and was sighing. A butler walked into the backyard and threw another sheet into the wooden pot. "How can you wash so slowly? Dinner is almost ready, the kitchen work hasn't been cleaned up yet, this is not when you're in a brothel, you can live a comfortable life by selling smiles, hands and feet quickly! ”

Magan cried silently and soaked the sheets in cold water before washing the pile of clothes. Suddenly a hot drop of something fell on her cracked hand, turning into a silent tear. Magan raised his tears and wiped his eyes with his sleeves, but suddenly settled down, staring at the front with his mouth open, as Faust revealed his shape.

Suddenly an additional man appeared in the yard like a ghost charm. Magan's tears were frightened. After she saw the person's face, she was shocked again. Faust's space divinity brought the sound together, softly: “Magan, don't be afraid, I came to see you. Do you remember me? ”

The girl finally shouted: "Master Sage Master, you are the Sage Master Faust! Who in the empire doesn't know you? I saw your face from afar at the Sacrifice Festival and never dreamed you would show up in front of me! Did you hear my prayers and calls to the gods? … you must have heard, people say that you are the messenger of the gods sent to man, with all the magic! … Master Guo, did the gods hear my call and let you appear here? ”

Faust's appearance has changed. Magan didn't know that Faust in front of her was the one who brought bad luck to herself. She didn't even dare think that. But she knew today's Faust and met the most charming man in the empire at the sacrificial ceremony. Faust was in the center of attention in any sacrificial ritual, and people rendered him increasingly amazing.

In Faust's heart there was a slight and delightful question: "What prayer and call did you send to the gods? At the sacrificial ceremony of the Empire, you should stand far away from me. You can only see me from the square at the moment I walk out of the temple. How can you remember my face so clearly and be so sure at first sight? ”

In front of Faust, Magan tears opened her heart completely for some reason, willing to tell her secrets, she stood up in a panic, wiped her hands on the apron, and knelt down a few steps to pray: “I dare not hide anything in front of you and the gods. A few years ago, I was a prostitute in the city of Niwei. A guest loved me and let me accompany her every day, but angered another guest, which is now the son of the mistress of the family, he is a general...”

The Magan tears briefly described what happened that year, and finally explained in a sincere and frightened manner: “I was occasionally told by people that the missing guest looked a little like you, Master Wise Master, and I was curious. The year before, I had the opportunity to see you from afar at the Imperial Sacrifice Festival, and since then, as long as I had the opportunity to go out and attend the various sacrifice ceremonies of the Empire, I have looked at you from afar, so I remember your appearance very clearly. I confess all this to you, please forgive me for my offense and blasphemy, I was just curious. ”

Faust asked, “I've come to you. Please take a good look at me. Am I the one? ”

The girl bowed her head and did not dare look directly at him. She shook her head again. “Master Sage, the omniscient god must have noticed my inner disrespect. Are you here to punish me? I did blaspheme you. How can I forgive my sins? ”

Faust sighed in her heart. When she didn't expect to see Magan tears again, the girl no longer knew him, but could recognize him as Faust, the sage statesman. Faust wanted to tell Magan that he was the man of the year, but he didn't say anything. Even if he said the girl couldn't believe it, she'd be scared.

He wanted to confess and ask for forgiveness, but he didn't have the courage to say everything. Perhaps it was no longer necessary to say anything, and now he was just trying to make amends for the girl and make up for her mistakes.

As Faust waved, the invisible force seemed like a gentle embrace, lifting the girl up from the ground, and he said softly: "Magan, I am not here to punish you, nor have you done anything wrong. It is the Spirit who hears your call, let me help you and fulfill your desires, and please speak your prayers to the Spirit before me. ”

Magan's eyes revealed a near-insane surprise, and she covered her chest and shouted, “Is this true? Great god! Great Enrique. ”

Faust almost had soft legs, so he couldn't stand still, the girl still praised Enrique in front of him! He was unable to say anything but pray for the blessing of the girl's soul. He said, “Please say your prayer. What desire do you have for the gods to help you achieve it? ”

Magan cried out, “My prayer to the gods is to hope that the gods will forgive my faults. Had it not been for me, Heatham would not have lost his title in catastrophe, and I hope the Spirit would have blessed Heatham with peace on the front line and restored his glory to his cause. I also hope that Heatham's family will stop abusing me so that I can live a safe life. ”

Heatham was the officer who was dismissed, and Faust asked, “Is that all? ”

Magan lowered his head in tears and rubbed his apron restlessly with his hands, saying: "God forgives me for my faults, and I am so grateful that I dare not ask for more. ”

Faust nodded with a sad colour, staring at Magan's tears and saying: “What does it mean to live a stable life? Heatham once said he was going to marry you. You were going to wait for him to do his work on the battlefield and come home to marry you when he was reinstated? Please tell me the truth and don't hide anything. ”

Magan's tears bit his lip and shook his head as if determined: "No, I don't want to marry him, I can't marry him. ”

Faust asked, "Oh, why? If I were willing to help, just send a message, Heatham would marry you well, and their whole family wouldn't dare to disrespect you any more. ”

Heatham answered weakly: "I dare not hide my heart in the presence of the gods. I have no doubt that you can do this, but it's not what I want and what I can get, and if it is, it's not me that Heatham marries, it's what you say. It is now clear that Heatham does not really want to marry me, he just needs my money to get him out of jail and put his family away.

And his mother hated me, not for no reason, and any mother would inevitably think so. These were my misfortunes, but I didn't know how to get rid of them, so I called the gods in my heart, and I didn't get an answer. I finally met you today! The wisest man in the empire. Master of the Empire, what should I do? ”

The phrase stunned Faust and he could not answer, just as he himself had too many wishes to fulfill, but did not know how to do so. By his position and means, there are many ways to help Magan tears, but these are things that need to be done by others, which is clearly not what Magan tears are about.

She's asking the most intelligent Faust in the empire, what should she do? In fact, in the situation of Magan's tears, she has paid all that she could not do better.

The girl's question seemed to become Faust's self-questioning, and he called out to Satan in his heart, and what should he do in the Assyrian Empire today? When Faust was caught in contemplation, Magan cried for a moment and asked carefully: "Master Sage, can you tell me? ”

Faust looks back and reaches out and takes out a small bottle and hands it to her: “This is a magical bottle of medicine that you can put on a little before you go to bed every day and heal the cracks in your hand in a few days, it also makes your hands feel sharper and your bones feel more flexible. If you want answers, try to do something first. Find an opportunity to tell the mother-in-law that you can knit and embroider and make a lot of money by processing your aristocrats' favorite clothing and embroidery. ”

"I can knit and embroider, but I can't embroider that well. ”

Faust smiled: “I will teach you a way to put skill in your soul, only if you are careful enough and your hands are coincidental enough to do it. ”

Magan Tears: "Thank you for helping me in this way so that I can do more and more myself. But I know this mother's temper, and if I could, she would urge me to do more embroidery day and night, from one abuse to another. ”

"It depends on what you do," Faust warned, "and the skill is in your hands, and you have to understand how to use its value to improve your situation. For example, you can announce how much you can embroider in a day, and you need to rest well. If all this is important to your mother, you can naturally improve your situation. ”

“But this...” Magan stopped crying. I always felt that Faust taught her a little bit of a problem, but couldn't tell what the problem was. Then I bowed to the tunnel: “Thank you for your help and thank you for your guidance! ”

“You will hear my voice and know how to do it so that at least you have the chance to go out often and I will see you again.” By the time Magan's tears came back up, Faust had disappeared, and she had a fine bottle of medicine in her hand that showed that everything had really happened.

……

Magan tears did what Faust said, and I don't know what Faust did. The bottle was amazing. After all the cracks in her hand healed, she became more ingenious than ever, and there seemed to be a voice in her soul teaching her superior knitting and embroidery skills.

Finally, one day, she told Heatham's mother that the old woman had just begun to whine about Magan's tears, but when she heard that her craft could make a lot of money, she was tempted, so she let Magan try it, but all the materials required Magan to tear herself to go to the store credit, and she had to take the embroidered items to the store to sell.

There was a voice in her soul that told Magan to go to the store in Niwei City to get her some kind of embroidery and pay her.

Faust arranged this little thing naturally easily, and his original idea, even if he spent a lot of money secretly helping the girl, was to do something that made her feel more useful. But then it came as no surprise to him that Professor Faust Magan's tears were naturally the most intelligent technique, and the girl embroidered almost the finest ornaments in the city of Nineveh, much loved by the aristocratic customers and valuable pieces.

The store was not worried that it would not sell at all, and even accepted a special commission to work with Magan Tears. In other words, there is no need for Faust to do more, and Magan Tears can make enough money from his own craft. For a man of great riches and nobility, the money that Magan tears earn from craftsmanship, though it is nothing, is enough to make ordinary people live a very fulfilling life.

So Magan tears don't have to do heavy work day and night, just knitting and embroidery. Heatham's mother naturally wanted her to do as much as she could, preferably day and night, but Magan's tears, as Faust taught her, replied: "These are custom-made ornaments made by noblemen. If the processing is accidentally broken, a lot of money needs to be lost, I must rest well in order to make these things good. ”

The situation of Magan Tears at Heatham's house had improved considerably, but she was still uncomfortable and, in addition to resting and eating every day, had to process one beautiful embroidery after another at the urging of the old lady. But good girls still pray every night and express their gratitude to the gods and to Faust.

One night, the girl heard the voice of Faust: "You don't owe this family anything, you give them everything they can, why don't you leave? ”

Magan cried, “I don't have a home anymore. Where can I go from here? ”

Faust said, "With your current craftsmanship, you can feed yourself, do whatever embroidery you want every day, and then do what you want. ”

Magan's tears silenced and she was obviously moved but worried. Finally, she sighed and replied: "I can't do this yet. I promised Heatham that I would take care of his mother. This is my promise, even if I wanted to leave the house, I would wait until he came back. Because of me, he loses his job, he loses his big salary, and life at home is as difficult as it used to be. By the time he gets his credit back, everything will be just like before, and I'll make up for my mistakes. ”

Faust also persuaded: "It wasn't your fault that Heatham pulled his sword and made trouble, just because of his impulse, anger, jealousy, arrogance and arrogance. Why do you blame yourself for all this? ”

The girl thought silently and still replied: "You make sense, but I have promised. Although he will not be married, he will wait for him to come back and then follow your advice to leave. ”

Faust, the sage statesman of the hall, had so many military affairs to deal with, but spent these thoughts on Magan's tears, more or less because of a psychology of atonement and compensation. The girl symbolizes a secret in his heart, unknown to the chief high priest of an empire revered by all, like the imprint of Satan in his heart.

Faust has many ways to help Magan tears, but only according to Magan's own wishes, which is also a form of self-remedy and redemption. He wanted Magan to find happiness in his life step by step, but before he could make more arrangements, the outbreak of war kept him busy.

First the Kingdom of Potts annexed the weak country of Elan to the north of Assyria, then Hattie joined forces with Assyria to repel the attack of Gürus on the north line, then King Gürus of Potts sent Darius Admiral to attack the six cities ceded by the Kingdom of Baron to the Assyrian Empire from the south line.

The war in the Assyrian Empire was defeated and all the territories expanded during the Sinah era were lost. The Potts army established a new province, severed the link between Assyria and Baron, and immediately followed by a wave of armies that annexed the Kingdom of Hati, completely enclosing the Turk Plains and the Assyrian Empire within its borders.

The war has not yet spread to Assyrian soil, but the fate of the empire can be seen to be in danger by all eyes. Faust felt silent that the more setbacks the Assyrian Empire suffered throughout the line, the more important his place in the Empire became. The people saw this seemingly all-knowing and all-powerful master of the wise as their final hope for saving the fate of the empire.

Queen Samir, who is tired of returning to heaven, is also becoming more and more heavily used and dependent on Faust, asking him about everything. Faust gained the strength that Satan had guided and had never been more powerful, but felt weak in the face of the situation in which the Assyrian Empire was located. He had no way of saving the Assyrian Empire, and his knowledge and wisdom had made the situation clearer to him than anyone else.

Knowing that it is irreparable, but making every effort in vain, accepting praise every day, looking at the fervent expectations in people's eyes, Faust's mood is well known. He felt very tired, either physically and energetically unbearable or helplessly tired in his soul.

Once again, the most charming man in the empire would rather be indulged in the depths of his heart, even if he could escape for so long and find such a hint of solace. He took possession of Magan's tears again, yes, he seduced her. And not to mention how irresistible Faust is today, he can't refuse like a god in her heart, and the girl's heart is 120,000 willing to obey his will.

Magan tears often go to the store to get the materials needed for embroidery, but also to return the processed embroidery, there are many opportunities to go out. Faust bought a secluded yard just outside the store, and one day he decided to quietly guide Maghan's tears to the meeting.
