Pivot of the Sky

It would be hard to say that Magan's tears were self-defense because Heatham didn't even pull out his sword when he died! No one is willing to defend her in the excitement of the group. The sheriff asks who Maggie tears up with outside? Magan did not say anything but that he had killed Heatham by mistake, was willing to confess guilt and bear all the punishment, and had nothing to do with anyone else.

That's what happened.

The case was swiftly adjudicated on the spot, and Cripes immediately ordered the interrogation papers to be rushed to the palace. In fact, the presence of this great samurai was not accidental, Queen Samir was also concerned about Faust, and she did not send someone to follow Faust, but kept someone close to where Magan's tears were going, and saw the accident happen. And the compound that Faust had secretly bought, Her Majesty the Queen had long known.

Faust looked at the paperwork and his fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly. Samir added, not too slowly: "Although this happens to privileged people in the empire, they always have a way of dealing with it privately. But if the evidence is proven and falls into my hands, I will not forgive you unjustly.

Unfortunately, Master Guo, you are different, the girl will confess guilt is the best result and will not affect you. Especially at this time, I do not want any mistakes to affect my plan, and the very existence of the Assyrian Empire will soon be known, and your role is too important. ”

What do you mean, Queen Samir? She began by expressing the fact that many of the powers in the empire had not done similar things, and that if they had such an identity and authority as Faust, it might not have mattered to others, that there was always a way to deal with them privately, and that the magistrates could not really trace them back to the adults.

But such things as embezzlement and bullying of men and women, even if people know it, cannot be blatantly put on the face. There are things that simply cannot be ascertained on the face of it, because there are, after all, imperial decrees that, when the evidence is conclusively public, are to be disposed of in accordance with the law by whomever they are.

And the powerful adults, naturally, have a way to escape the punishment of the ordinance. For example, if another person does something similar, a certain adult seduces another person's woman, and the master comes to the door to settle the bill, but the adult kills the master by mistake, so what should we do?

First of all, statements can be made to buy witnesses or to use power to force bystanders to perjure themselves, proving that he did not kill them. Or planting an innocent man to take the blame, bending over at the sheriff's office, looking for another dead man. However, the adult should have been innocent in the trial proceedings, even though everyone else knew he was guilty.

Unlike Faust, whose prestige and reputation are not attained solely by virtue of his status, the Assyrian Empire has had many high priests of the kingdom in its history, but none of them can compare to Faust. In today's Assyrian Empire, Faust has become a totem, symbol of divine radiance of spirit. He could never and could never have done so, not even in relation to the trial of a public official, nor was it a finding of innocence in court.

Prestige is an achievement of Faust and his founding fate.

But the case is unique, because the deceased was a nobleman and an officer who had killed an enemy on the battlefield and returned with injuries. In today's special context, it must be pursued clearly and a statement given to all, especially to the generals on the front line. Murderers must be severely punished and Magan's tears painfully pleaded guilty in court, which is the best outcome for everyone.

The virtuous girl did not involve anyone, let alone mention the name of Faust. She did not need a magistrate or a wise master of the State to do anything wrong. She was not persecuted, but solved all the problems herself. For Queen Samir, she would hand over the country's sovereign authority to Faust, and now there was no need to be disturbed.

Seeing the silence of Faust, Samir added: "The girl would rather die in defence of you, Master Wise Master of the State is so charming! ”

Faust suddenly laid down his book and knelt down to salute Samir: "Your Majesty, she didn't kill Heatham, I am the murderer! Innocent people cannot be convicted, I ask you...”

He wanted to ask the Queen for something, but he didn't say it, but the meaning was self-evident. Samir also stood up and looked at Faust: “In your capacity, you didn't have to do this to me. This is the second time today, except for the Grand Jubilee, for a prostitute in Niwai. … in today's circumstances, even if I want to pardon her, there must be reason to convince the people. ”

Faust looked down at the ground in ashes: "Does Your Majesty want to reveal the truth about the case? If that's the only way to save her life, I can't blame anyone. ”

As Samir reached out, an invisible force lifted Faustus apart, a detail that inadvertently revealed one of her secrets, and the great samurai was equally skilled in high-order theology and taught the power of origin. Her Majesty sat back and said with no expression: "You wanted to save her, but I came to you today to talk about how to save the Assyrian Empire. Master Sage, this case is settled. Can we talk about state affairs first? ”

Faust still lowered his head: “Both reason and responsibility tell me, of course, to focus on the affairs of the state, but can I ask His Majesty...”

Samir interrupted him again: "How can I refuse if you don't have to beg me? Even if you don't ask, I should help you. I have ordered that after taking Magan's tears into custody, there is no need to dispose of them for the time being and no need to resort to punishment, until I return. If I leave the emperor in peace this time, I will forgive Magan's tears in the proper way; if I fail to return, the Assyrian Empire will be under your control, then you can do whatever you can to forgive her or rescue her. ”

Seeing what Semir said was serious, Faust had to put away his meditations for a while and stood there and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't think you're simply going on a border inspection this time. Is there any covert operation to be carried out personally? If you still trust me, let me know. ”

Samir nodded: "Finally, you haven't lost your witty mind or forgotten your concern for the matter. As I said to you during the day, there is one last chance to save the Assyrian Empire, and the decision taken tonight is relevant. ”

The queen waved and there was a light in front of her, a terrain demonstration of the Sky Pivot Continent. Faust was waiting for her to say the following, and Samir suddenly asked another question: “Faust, is it true that you confessed today that my passionate love never went out? ”

Faust was stunned. Why did he say that when he was going to talk about state affairs? A woman is a woman. Sometimes she just can't figure it out. He hurries up and says, "Yes, I swear by my soul! ”

Samir looked at the heavenly pivot in the shadows and said, "If, I mean, if you can choose, either to get me or to save Magan's tears, you have to choose the same, and I want to know your answer. ”

Faust was silent, his lips could not speak, and he had not answered for a long time. Samir looked up at him and sighed softly: "I am a little relieved that you have not spoken without thinking about me. But Master Sage, the most learned and wise man in the empire, the most merciful, compassionate, the high priest who represents the all-powerful divine glow, why are you silent? Is it so hard to choose between conscience and desire? ”

Another burning tingle in Faust's soul, as if Satan's mark were burning, called Satan in his heart: "Can you tell me how to choose? What I want is right in front of me!” Yet he replied, "My queen, I cannot deceive you, because it is only a hypothesis, and the hypothesis makes no sense, so I cannot answer. ”

The cold light in Semir's eyes flashed and then became a little dim, sighing: “Well, that's either hypothetical or true. You can choose, either take the order to pardon Magan's tears now or stay in the palace tonight! ”

Faust felt his body and soul tightened by an invisible hand and his voice seemed a little dry: "My queen, why did you make such a decision and let me make such a choice, what has changed your mind for so many years? ”

Samir avoided his eyes and looked into the void and answered: "I always knew what you were thinking. I finally heard your confession today. Is it a test of the gods on me? If the gods must let me choose a man, I have no choice but you. And after I leave, you may never get a chance at me, and if you lose me, you get this empire. ”

Faust couldn't help but take the first two steps and his body has gone into the light shadow. Instead of answering the question, he asked anxiously: "Listen to your tone, there is a heart that must die! Don't tell me you're trying to assassinate Ruth! ”

Samir nodded again: "Looks like you're not going to answer tonight, and you do know me well, so let's get down to business. Yes, I do want to dive from the border to assassinate Julius. According to the latest news, Grussia has left Elanquin Province to inspect and comfort the army of Poz led by Darius, before passing through the newly established province of Lisbon and appearing at an open ceremony. ”

Faust asked inexplicably, "Lisbon? Is that what he named the new bank? But as far as I know, the Potts have captured five city states, and it is precisely the state of Lisbon that was recovered by the Kingdom of Baron. Has the Kingdom of Baron not responded to his intention of saving the name and continuing the annexation of the Kingdom of Baron to the South? ”

Samir sneered: "King Baron Vonnew is determined to fight, but he has lost the support of the clergy group and is helpless. But I can't just watch, since Sinah could have been stabbed to death, it's not impossible to know to assassinate Jurussia! ”

"As far as I know, the Kingdom of Potts was the first kingdom of ten tribes to be united, and Grussia was only the chief of one of the most powerful tribes. This man is roughly the man who can unite the whole country, but if he dies accidentally, the Kingdom of Potts is likely to be caught up in a struggle for power among the ministries. The kingdom is expanding too fast nowadays, and if the country is in turmoil, the newly established provinces will also be fragmented. In that case, it is indeed the only turning point in the Assyrian Empire. ”

Samir nodded, “Yes, that's what I thought, that's why I made the decision! I'm not a good king, but I'm the best assassin, and that's the last thing I can do. ”

Faust's figure had passed through that light shadow, and he couldn't help but grab Samir's hand, which showed that the divine light of the heavenly pivot continent was gone. He whispered, "My queen, you can't go. This is death! ”

Samir did not draw his hand back and shook his head stubbornly: "Instead of waiting here to die, we'd rather die. There is no doubt that waiting will kill you, and there is a slight turning point in risking your life to assassinate Jurussia. And I've made a decision, and there's no plan to come back. That is why the Son of Sinah was ordered to take custody of the country and appoint you as the Minister of Regent. ”

Faust shouted excitedly: "You are the queen, why do you have to go in person? ”

Samir replied: "I have thought carefully about all the masters in the empire, and whoever is sent is unlikely to succeed. It is only a senseless death, and there is a glimmer of hope only if I do it myself. But to be honest, even if I were lucky enough to assassinate Curus, it would be unlikely that I would escape alive, so I had to arrange everything in advance. ”

Faust let go of his hand and took two steps back and crawled back to the courtesy: “Your Majesty, you forgot one more person, that is me! It was you and me who wanted to stab the Virgin Isis in Equois and get away with it. There is a secret that you may have guessed, but today I will officially confess to you, and I have been guided by another force. I know that you are not a simple great warrior, and I am not a simple great magician. ”

Samir looked down at him and said, "I have made the decision to go in person. This is my empire, and it is my responsibility to do so. If I succeed, you still have hope of saving Assyria, and I trust you anyway. ”

Faust insisted: "I cannot change His Majesty's decision. If you must assassinate Curus, please let me go with you. It's impossible for you to succeed, and the cooperation between us is already implicit, so there's a chance of getting away. ”

Samir's face was finally a little touched, but also a little sad to ask, "Faust, are you going to die with me? ”

Faust replied, "No, I am with you to save Assyrian national shipping, which is your responsibility and my desire. If you don't agree, I'll still go myself. ”

Samir narrowed his eyes: "If that's the case, what about Magan's tears? ”

Faust: “I would rather accompany His Majesty on the assassination of Gyuruz than make the painful choice just now. Before leaving, ask you to leave a pardon for her warrant. ”

Samir: "I will stay and pardon her, whether you or I die in this assassination, and this pardon will come into effect. But you go with me. What about imperial government? Who can take your place as assistant minister of government? Chancellor Alpha is very old. Who else in the empire can preside over the big picture? ”

Faust: "Home Secretary Lower De Auxiliary. ”

Semir frowned slightly: "Lowald, a representative of the Sinah family, wanted to stand up for the son of Sinah and opposed me to the throne. ”

Faust: “It doesn't matter. If we don't make it back, let the son of Lizinnah be the new king. That's exactly what he wants. Naturally, we don't have to worry about anything if we can come back. ”

Semir stood there silently looking at Faust, not speaking for a long time, and the night gradually passed, revealing a slightly clouded light outside the window, and the dawn had quietly arrived. The queen finally said, "It's almost dawn, and this morning I will announce my latest decision to appoint Luo Huade to the auxiliary government, and the wise master will follow me to the border inspection. We're leaving this afternoon. Go back and get ready. It's too late to say goodbye to anyone. ”

Faust finally walked out of the palace in the dawn light, and Semir left him alone in the back hall overnight, something that might be confusing. But the protagonist of the story is the wise master Faust, and people don't and don't dare think about it. And in fact, Faust didn't do anything else this evening, just silently withstand Semir's gaze.

Faust walked out of the palace, and his escort had waited all night outside the palace and hurried to greet him with a carriage. Just as Faust got in the car, there was a voice in his soul that he hadn't heard in years ——

“Faust, you didn't answer Semir's question, what prevented you from making a choice? ”

Faust trembled with his hands firmly in his chest, closing his eyes and answering: "Satan, you have finally spoken! I'm not incapable, I'm reluctant! My soul is the Lord, and the power you guide is the servant - this is the promise you made, why have you abandoned me without knowing where I am? ”

Satan's voice sounded like a sneer: "Am I abandoning you? No, I've always been in your soul, and when your soul can feel my presence, you're me. Isn't it your decision to assassinate Julius? And the power I'm guiding you, isn't that what's helping you? It is the servant who achieves the goal for you.

You have become so charming, and this charm comes from the power that I direct, are you influenced by this charm, or are you driving it? Actually, you should ask yourself, why did you abandon Magan when she was taken away by the Guard? Why did you refuse to answer when Samir asked you to make a choice? ”

Faust replied, "I can't let innocent Magan tears be punished, and I want Samir's love. ”

Satan coldly asked, "Why did you ask to die with Semir? ”

Faust: "Because of her, I may lose her forever, and I don't want to do that, so I go with her to the assassination. It's an adventure, but not to die. Satan, when the time has come to fulfill your promise, will you help me succeed in my assassination? ”
