Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 262: 263, From Dusk to Late Night
Was Semir suggesting that she already knew what Faust was doing, a warning of frank tolerance or dissatisfaction? If the Queen sent a master to investigate Faust's whereabouts, why? Care for him, value him, or guard him?
But if Samir is hostile, it cannot be said in person. Is that a good reminder? In today's situation, Faust's reputation and reputation are very important to bring the Assyrian people together, and the Queen doesn't want him to make any scandals, does she? - It's supposed to be, it's the most sensible explanation!
If judged by absolute reason, Faust shouldn't have gone to see Magan at this hour, but he couldn't help it. Faust knew that Magan's tears could not be returned to Heatham's house. He could only go to the courtyard where they had met. Then, at the end of the sunset, Faust changed his costume and quietly left the temple to rush there.
After all these days in prison, I wonder what happened to Magan's tears? He should comfort her and apologize to her, in a sense, for the disaster he and his identity had caused her.
Due to suspicion that Queen Samir's master was spying on him secretly, Faust thought so while carefully watching the surrounding pedestrians, his disguise was hidden, and the magic of detection was carried out to observe the movements around him at all times, believing that no one in the empire could follow him and would not be detected by him.
There were no stalkers along the way, and even if there were, the best archmage in the empire would be able to get rid of them. It was a coincidence that he went to the courtyard where Magan's tears had just been released and where she often met Faust, and where she would have to go in the future.
Faust walked past a shop, turned around the corner into a secluded alley, and saw the back of Magan's tears from a distance. Magan's tears were dressed in dilapidated clothes and a few dry grass leaves were glued to her hair, reaching out and preparing to open the door. At this point, a man suddenly popped out across the street and drank into Magan's tears: "You shameless bitch, I want your life back! ”
Faust met this man many years ago, when he was a young, brisk officer, and now clearly blessed, with a messy mustache, wearing a short sword with a vigorous waist, was Heatham, who had been wounded by Faust.
How did Heatham not die and show up here? In fact, Heatham's family did not receive formal notification from the Assyrian military ministry, but merely heard from the wounded who had returned from the battlefield - Heatham had been killed in action. He fell into enemy formation among the insurgents, everyone thought he was dead, everything was chaotic when the army defeated, and I didn't expect him to escape.
Faust had deliberately sent someone to greet Heatham's family and to pursue his title, but the man was still alive. This misunderstanding is somewhat stunning, perhaps because of it, and has attracted the attention of the military or Queen Samir.
Heatham had just returned to Niewa City and heard of the mother's ill health. The family told him that Magan's tears actually gave his seriously ill mother a poisonous drug. Heatham can't believe it's true. Why would Magan tears do that? Another kind neighbor told him about the recent rhetoric - Magan tears had lovers outside and often went out to meet.
The man must have instructed Magan to poison Heatham's mother, both in retaliation for her ill-treatment and in order to escape from the Heatham family and elope with the man. Because people think Heatham is dead, and if his mother dies, the servants of the family will find their way around.
The grieving Heatham immediately rushed to the Mansion to inquire about the circumstances of the case, however, he had just met the case officer, before he had had time to ask the details of the interrogation process, and heard that Magan Tears had been acquitted.
Heatham immediately went to the prison to find Magan's tears. He wanted to kill her with his own hands! If he still had a few feelings for Magan's tears back then, he hates them now. In Heatham's view, he had drawn his sword in anger because of her and almost suffered from prison. He had also rescued her from the fire pit of a brothel and brought her home, even saying he would marry her.
But Magan's tears were revenge, not only for seducing a man outside, but also for killing his mother at the instigation of that man! By the time he returned to the battlefield, his family had died. Grief and resentment have drowned Heatham's mind. He's going to look for Magan Tears to settle the bill and pull the man out so that the dogs and men can be rewarded!
Heatham in anger also left a trace of sobriety, he knew that it was no longer possible to go back to her original home after Magan's tears had been released, and if she wanted to find somewhere to fit in, she must have gone to the man, which was the clue he was following.
Heatham slipped his waist and quietly followed Magan Tears from the entrance to this secluded alley, finally knowing where Magan Tears was going, this should be the man's home! When Magham tears were ready to open the door, Heatham finally rushed out with impatience. He had to twist Magham tears and kick the door in on the spot, and interrogate the two men and women properly. None of them should be spared!
Heatham never dreamed that Faust happened to be at the other end of the alley and had a detective magic trick.
Faust could not help but panic when he saw Heatham rushing hard into Magan's tears, because the distance was too far away, and between him and Heatham was just between Magan's tears. Fearing that Faust had accidentally injured Magan's tears, he used only the simplest means to carry out the gaseous elemental magic in isolation. An invisible force wrapped Heatham around his body like a cyclone and rolled him out.
Fortunately, it was Faust, or someone else wouldn't have had time to stop Heatham. Faust knew Heatham was a Class Six warrior and suddenly, so he used a lot of power. Heatham didn't even pull out his sword and flew out empty-handed. His back brain hit the corner of the alley and fell without humming.
Magan's tears did not see Faust at the far end of the alley, and Heatham rushed in and flew out again, screaming in horror. As Faust was about to pass, he suddenly noticed a large crowd outside the alley on the other side, and a voice drank and asked: "What happened! Who's on the ground? How can you carry a sharp instrument and break into the Imperial City? ”
When he heard the voice, Faust was surprised by the guard of the palace, the great samurai Kripps! Recently, due to the defeat of the front line, rumours in the city of Niwai, and the return of so many collapsed troops, the security of the Imperial capital is tense. Semir sent court guards to reinforce the patrol force, and Cripes is also one of the main generals in charge of patrolling the city.
How is it so coincidental that Cripps led the patrol here? If it were an ordinary guard, with Faust's means, it would be perfectly possible to resolve the matter here without a trace, but with Kryps present, Faust would not be able to do so.
Klips is certainly not an opponent of Faust if he openly shows his full hand, but Faust comes in disguise and he cannot cover up what just happened without revealing his identity, such as knocking out all the patrol soldiers and taking Magan's tears, or taking Heatham away without a trace. It all happened so suddenly that Faust couldn't even react.
Attacking the Patrol Guard in the Imperial capital is a crime of conspiracy. If Faustus and Kripps did it, I'm afraid even the street would be torn down. It's impossible not to reveal his identity. Faust also had the option of walking over in public and explaining to Kryps what had just happened, but he hesitated.
Principal High Priest of the Reich, why did you come here in disguise? What happened to this girl and him, and why did Faust attack Heatham? In any case, Faust could not explain clearly that, if everything were to be clarified, it would be the most absurd scandal in the Imperial capital, which would greatly damage the reputation and reputation of the wise master and even affect the prestige of the Imperial Temple.
Faust hesitated so much that Cripes had rushed into the alley with a group of restraining guards, and someone had fallen down to see what was happening in Heatham, and Cripes was already drinking and asking Magan for tears. It was at this time that the direction of the palace suddenly sent a loud bell, with a special and intense rhythm, which struck many times in a row.
A patrol guard asked Kripps, “My lord, what's with the bell? ”
"It was a sign that His Majesty had summoned all the royal ministers to the palace for urgent proceedings," replied Cripps. "It seems that something important is going to happen, or that His Majesty has important orders to make. Our duty is to patrol the city, honestly continue to patrol the movement in the city, just don't make mistakes, everyone be extra vigilant. ”
Faust snuck out of shape, glanced at the alley, and finally turned to the palace. The signal from the bell is urgent. There must be something important going on in the military, but only at this time! The bell gave the hesitant Faust the best reason and excuse, not to leave intentionally, but to have to leave at the behest of the bell.
History seemed to have gone through another round, when Faust wounded a man in a brothel and quietly left. No one knew his identity, let alone traced the whereabouts of the perpetrators, leaving only a helpless tear of Magan. Today, he rolled Heatham out and hit the corner of the wall, just as the City Guard arrived, and Faust left again quietly.
It was dusk and the sky gradually darkened, and the lights of the stars lit up in the city of Nineveh.
……
All the deputy ministers and above in the royal capital have arrived at the palace palace. Everyone asks what happened, but nobody knows. When Faust arrived, they asked the wise master of the state, and Faust was also a fog. Samir finally walked into the palace and climbed onto the throne under a crowd of servants and deliberately gave Faust a seat on the left side of the Queen's throne.
Queen Semir announced two things, the issuance of a new currency at the suggestion of Faust, to relieve the imperial financial haste. The second surprised the ministers that Queen Samir had ordered the Son of Sinah to be imprisoned and Faust appointed Regent Minister, while Her Majesty the Queen himself had to leave the Emperor to personally inspect the borders and restructure armaments.
Now that Hati is extinguished, the Assyrian Empire is surrounded by Potts, and the next step will come sooner or later. No one knows when Grussian will attack Assyrian soil, but he cannot stand idly by and must be prepared. At this time, Queen Samir personally visited the border and integrated the regiments after the defeat of the war, as a last resort to inspire morale and restore decadence.
Samir will personally go to the border, leave the country where the son of Sinah is imprisoned, and regent Faust, just in case. If anything happens to Semir, the affairs of the State will be handed over to Faust, who will also assist the new monarch in his succession. And in today's situation, without Semir, it is possible for Faust to usurp power.
But Faust had no point in doing so, and Samir was not worried about it. If even Her Majesty the Queen had an accident, the Assyrian Empire would fall, and who would take over the throne to be a king of the dead? The kingdom is about to be extinct! If Faust had the skill to save the Assyrian Empire, no one would have cared if he had usurped the throne.
Faust's status and glory reached the height of his life, and his ministers expressed their blessings and praise to Her Majesty the Queen, as well as congratulations and admiration to His Majesty the Wise Master of the State.
On such an important occasion, Faust was somewhat unsatisfied. He was not willing to listen to the praises of the crowd. He was always thinking about Magan's tears. Don't know what happened to her? He even hoped that the dynasty session to determine the fate of the Empire would come to an end soon, so as to send someone to inquire about the situation of Magan's tears, if anything, to try to solve it privately, in short, not to let her suffer any more.
According to common sense, Samir had given him such an important appointment that, after the dissolution of the council, he should remain to meet the queen alone and negotiate important arrangements for the affairs of the state. But Faust did not do so. After the break-up of the chapel, he wanted to leave the palace immediately, but the servant called him - Her Majesty the Queen wants to summon the wise master alone.
Faust came to a small hall in the rear palace. At this time, the night was already deep, and Semir ordered all his servants to step down, which was why the Phantom said: "Faust, are you still the wise master I know? Is he still the one whom the Assyrian people admire and love? I want to entrust the whole country to you, and you have to leave in such a hurry without even asking me a few more questions after the Chapel? ”
Faust hurriedly rose to sue: “Forgive me, Your Majesty. I have been worried lately that things will inevitably be a bit of a trance. Having heard of His Majesty's latest decision, I would like to hurry back and make arrangements. It is dark this evening and I intend to come back to see His Majesty in the morning. ”
Samir waved, “Please sit down and talk. I know something's wrong with you. But in any case, don't forget your responsibilities. Like me, I was unwilling to take the throne, but in this position, I had to shoulder my responsibilities. Faust, are you worried about that girl called Maggie Tears? ”
Faust was surprised when he just sat down and stood up from the chair: “How did you know, Your Majesty? ”
Samir threw a volume of paperwork and shook his head: “You don't have to ask anymore, I've ordered an urgent report to the palace. The man named Heatham died and Magan's tears were brought back to the court where he confessed guilt and admitted that she killed him! … As to why I know about this, there is no need to hide it now, because you are very important to this empire, and of course I am concerned about your situation and willing to share your concerns. ”
Faust opened the volume and finally knew what happened after he left.
Heatham died, and although Faust did not want to kill him, he was in a hurry to use too much force, and when the samurai flew out, he hit his head on the corner of the wall and died instantly. He easily reclaimed his life in the midst of thousands of horses, but did not expect to return to the Imperial City, first to learn of his mother's nightmare and then to die unexpectedly.
Just as the royal palace championed the crowd, Cripes brought Heatham's body and Magan's tears to the governor's palace, calling the sheriff for overnight interrogation.
Magan's tears, though raw and weak, were not foolish, and when she woke up she realized what had happened. It must have been Faust who fought Heatham in secret, but left because of the arrival of the patrol guard and the inconvenience of exposing his identity, when the bells of the palace were urgently summoning the crowd.
Magan did not say Faust's name in tears, she confessed to Kripps, she pushed Heatham herself, and Heatham stood on his back with instability and hit his head against the wall. How could a six-level samurai like Heatham be killed by a weak woman like Magan Tears? His wounds on the battlefield not long ago have not been healed, and that is entirely possible.
There is also a good explanation for the clashes between the two, as Heatham's family complained about Magan's tear poisoning of the mother-in-law. That bottle of medicine was indeed given to his mother by Magan's tears, and if taken inappropriately, it could indeed be life-threatening. Heatham returns, of course, to find Magan's tears and ask him clearly.
The sheriff also summoned Heatham's neighbors for questioning, and many people said that Magan had “betrayed” Heathm and had lovers outside. And Heatham went to Maggie's tears to find out what the man was, and that yard was probably where Maggie's tears met her lover. The sheriff was also asked why Magan's tears were acquitted.
The magistrate's answer was naturally, according to Faust, that bottle of medicine was the divine medicine given to her by the wise master when Magan's tears prayed in the temple. The last case has been closed, there is no need to get involved, today only today's murder is being tried.
Today's case took place in the Imperial Capital, under Lord Cripes's nose. Everyone was shocked and must be questioned clearly. In fact, according to the confession, there was nothing left for trial. Magan was guilty of tears, not to mention killing a general who had returned from nine deaths and a lifetime on the battlefield. Moreover, the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs has just issued an order for the reinstatement of Heatham officials.
Heatham lost his job because of Magan's tears, now because of Magan's tears, he lost his life, and not punishing Magan's tears severely is not enough to anger the civilian population! The killing of nobles by civilians is a felony, not to mention the fact that the Magan tears were once cheap prostitutes, causing so many catastrophes for the Heathms.
