236, Day and Night

Semir issued several more orders, and she would take Sinach's coffin back to the Assyrian capital, the legions exchanged defense zones to ensure the stability of the newly occupied city-state, and the main generals also followed His Majesty Sinach's coffin back to the city of Neve. After the state funeral, Lovad and Faust would rush to Enrile.

Then Semir ended the first court meeting after assuming the throne and retreated to the back of the palace. Luo Huade stood there for a long time without saying anything. Prime Minister Alpha patted his shoulder and said, "Lord Luo Huade, you are the new hope of the empire. You are really both civil and military. The whole country is looking forward to your new achievements!"

Faust wanted to see Semir, but the eunuch in the palace told him that Her Majesty was tired, and was very sad because of the death of Emperor Sinach, and did not want to meet anyone in private. Faust had to leave the palace silently. His residence in Rees was of course the most luxurious room in the Enriel Temple, but this great magician was unwilling to live in the temple. Even when passing by the temple, he could not help but use the magical art of putting away his breath and deliberately avoided the statue on the altar.

He tried his best to comfort himself in his heart. Her Majesty the Queen sent him to Enriel City to avoid the temple. In Enriel City, he could live in his favorite place, and no one dared to restrain him. However, in the capital, as the chief high priest of the empire and the sage national teacher admired by all the people, he had to live in the main temple and preside over various rituals against the statue of Enriel every day.

When he faced the statue of Enrile, he naturally felt a feeling of trying to avoid it, and even closed his heart. Even the gods could not hear his true voice when praying.

But on the other hand, Semir sent him to the distance from the Assyrian Plateau, which was a kind of alienation, as if he did not want to live with him in the royal capital. Although on the surface, Her Majesty the Queen had enough respect for this Sage National Master and showed complete trust in military and national affairs, they were also in an official manner. As before, the two had no changes in their personal relationship.

On the surface, Faust knew that Semir was quite tolerant and even deliberately protected him. Because of the assassination of Sinach, Faust, who was in charge of the divine art formation at that time, actually had to bear the main responsibility.

Although everyone, including the great magician Diego Gio, who was present at the time, not only did not accuse Faust of using the Qi Element Armor Protection Technique, but was also full of gratitude for his temporary retention of Sinach's life. Faust also pleaded with Semir to prevent all the guards present from being punished. But Faust himself understood what was going on. He did not have to use the Qi Element Armor Protection Technique to block the arrow. The more important purpose at that time was to create an opportunity for assassination for Gilgamesh.

Even if others didn't know the inside story, Queen Semir must have known it, but she didn't say anything, and didn't even mention it. Someone once questioned that Faust had the disadvantage of protecting His Majesty Sinach, but was scolded and punished by the Queen.

Faust still can't figure out what kind of attitude Semir was towards him. Her Majesty the Queen knew that he betrayed Sinach and deliberately made the assassin succeed and mastered this secret that was enough to ruin him, but she did not punish him. She still asked him to be the noble sage national teacher. This was her good deed. But Semir sent Faust to Enriel again to face a war doomed to fail without hope. Is this her punishment for him?

On the way to the Assyrian capital of Neveh, Faust was always full of contradictions and entanglements. In fact, Semir was not colder to him than before, but he was not closer than before. But now the situation has changed, and Faust's thoughts and feelings have also changed. He always felt that he was farther away from the love in his heart, and he did all this in hopes of being closer!

Faust felt that his soul seemed to be split into two parts, and he was talking to him. He was indeed responsible for the death of Sinach, but it was his original intention to get rid of this cruel emperor. Now that he has succeeded, he should be relieved. Why is the feeling of dissatisfaction in his heart stronger?

The Assyrian Empire consolidated the results of the war and narrowed the front line by himself. The city of Enrile was to be abandoned in the plan, which was also a strategy proposed by Faust himself. Semir also adopted the decision he made, so what was wrong with sending him to implement it?

The failure of Enriel City may affect the honor and reputation of the Sage National Master on the front line, and Semir sent another scapegoat, Lovald, to take on this future crime at the right time. This arrangement is enough to make Faust grateful. Since he helped the assassin assassin assassinated Sinach and reversed the national policy of the Assyrian Empire, what else is there to be dissatisfaction?

But Faust still felt pain. In the dark night, he asked himself silently: "Faust, Faust, you have lost nothing, and you have realized your original intention, got rid of the cruel emperor and turned the fate of an empire. Why are you getting lost more and more? "

When a seemingly impossible wish is realized, the lurking desire in his heart begins to thrive. Things that he knew were impossible but would not think about before were sprouting like hopeless seeds. After returning to Neveh City, before the funeral of Emperor Sinach, Faust, who lived in the temple of the main empire, endured inexplicable torture every night, as if the imprint left by Satan in his soul was burning him.

He was thinking about Semir, but Semir's image seemed to have become abstract and blurred, becoming the shadow of many women. His charming smile and beautiful body even had moans and breathing, which made Faust feel a trembling. On the other hand, he was increasingly unable to bear the existence of the statue of Enrile in the temple. Although he was not in front of the statue, he also knew that his eyes were staring at everything in the temple.

Semir lived in the palace, and there was no other chance to see Faust except for routine court discussions. This was normal, because Her Majesty the Queen was guarding Emperor Sinach, and at this sensitive moment, she was not suitable for any abnormal behavior. This made Faust feel inexplicably anxious. Finally one night, he quietly left the temple as if he was escaping, and appeared in a luxurious brothel in Neveh.

A level nine master magician disguised himself on a trip, so he would not reveal any flaws. The girls didn't know that this old man with gray hair and wrinkles was the respected sage national master of the whole country. Faust had money and was very generous in his actions. The girls were all happy and wanted to use all their strength to serve him to fly to the happiest clouds.

Faust, a level 9 magician in his fifties, was actually as good as a young man in his early twenties. His youthful vitality that had never been vented had exploded so happily for the first time. He drank a lot of wine and experienced unprecedented indulgence in his life. Before dawn, he woke up and looked at the bright naked bodies of the ten girls in the fragrant pavilion. He put down the shiny divine stone between their thighs, on their lower abdomen, and in their cleavages, and quietly returned to the temple.

No one discovered what Master Sage did at night. The next morning there was a routine sacrifice ceremony, still presided over by Faust. The chief high priest of the empire stood beside the altar and chanted the sacred psalm, but was absent-minded. He felt that he was absurd, and that all that night was just boring emptiness.

But when night fell again, he fell into this emptiness entanglement, and there seemed to be a voice in his soul saying, "Faust, why are you doing this?" So he quietly left the temple to find his nightlife.

Although the respected Sage Master, the most knowledgeable person in the Assyrian Empire, he had no much experience in visiting brothels, and once the floodgates of desire were opened, it was difficult to restrain him. He always went to the same brothel, which was very big and luxurious, and he always took action with him. Of course, the girl was very beautiful and charming.

Such guests are the most popular among brothels, but Faust did a little too much. Perhaps he did not rely on his wealth or did not realize how generous he was, but was just indulging. Almost all the most beautiful girls in this brothel accompanied him, spending passionate nights after passionate days during the whole country mourning Emperor Sinach the Great.

People don’t know Faust’s identity, they only know that he is a pretty old man, but they throw money in the brothel to ask many beautiful girls to accompany him every night. Later, Faust no longer takes turns changing a group of different girls every day. At least he took a fancy to one of them, and for many days, he asked her to accompany him every night.

Because the girl's eyebrows were vaguely like Semir, but she looked so weak and tender, and she always looked timid and melancholy. No matter how much money Faust gave, the girl could not smile at him from the bottom of her heart like other girls. When he possessed her, he could even feel the trembling and resistance in her heart, which aroused Faust's desire even more. She was like a flower that needed him to nourish and care for.

He played like this in a brothel and no one knew his origin and identity. Sooner or later, he would cause trouble. Not long after, Faust caused trouble. The origin of the incident was this girl. There was a young general in the empire who used to go to this brothel. He followed the army to fight some time ago. During this period, he returned to the capital with the wealth he had gained from the battlefield. He often came to find the girl, but for several days he heard that the girl was accompanying a little old man.

The generals who killed countless people on the battlefield did not have a good temper. Finally one night he couldn't help but call the brothel owner to discuss with the guest. He was willing to pay a large reward and call the girl to accompany him. But the old man ignored him and did not give him the face of the imperial hero who killed countless enemies. So he got drunk and rushed into the incense pavilion where Faust was.

Although a warrior is even more threatening when facing a magician, it depends on what kind of warrior faces what kind of magician. Of course, Faust did not bring a staff, and he drank a little more wine. He didn't even raise his eyelids on the bed, just waved his hand slightly, and the level 6 warrior broke through the side wall and flew out and was injured.

The chaos is so big. A group of soldiers from the army who are intimate with this general came to settle the score with the old man after hearing the news, but Faust was no longer sure where he was going. The brothel owner could not tell where the old man, who was both mysterious and rich, came from. As a result, a group of meritorious soldiers who returned triumphantly on the battlefield demolished a fragrant pavilion in the brothel, smashed many things and injured several people, and even the garrison guards of the royal capital were alarmed.

This happened two days before Sinach was officially buried in the tombs of the emperors of all dynasties. Prime Minister Alpha was deeply furious and ordered the ***ers to be severely punished and investigated. The *** soldiers were all cleaned up, but where did they go to find the little old man? According to the description, the little old man looked a bit like the wise master, but after someone said this, he quickly slapped his mouth and explained repeatedly that it was not intentional offense.

It's interesting to say that Amon also had a brothel in Mengfeisi and took advantage of the situation to make trouble all over the city. But Faust was different. When he woke up, he left immediately. It was impossible to show his identity like Amon to make a big fuss. He could not even let his name be revealed, otherwise it would be one of the biggest scandals in the empire in the recent past. The reputation and reputation of the Sage National Master also became his burden.

Faust never went to that brothel again, nor saw the girl again, because three days later, he rushed to Enrile with the Minister of Interior Lord Lohuad.

After arriving at Enriel, Faust did not live in the temple, but lived in the temporary palace where Semir had stayed. There was no brothel in Enriel, and the Sage Master also felt that what he had done some time ago was so absurd, as if he was a person he didn't know at all, and he would never want to mention it again.

However, when night comes, he feels that his soul is even more desolate. He has been accustomed to praying for many years, but now he doesn't know who to pray to? He doesn't want to mention the experience but can't help but think about it. When the girl saw him waving his hand to knock the general who broke into the door out of the wall, the expression she showed was not admiration and worship, but unconcealed horror, and even her soft body became stiff.

He saw himself in the mirror, his face full of wrinkles and his appearance was not good, and he remembered that the general who rushed into the door was so young and heroic. Maybe the girls really liked such a man? He began to pray for no reason, but he did not call on the gods: "Satan, it was what you said. My wish is the master, and the power you guide is its servant. Please tell me, Semir knew my heart but was far away from me. Is it possible for such a look to attract a woman because I was not young and handsome enough?"

Surprisingly, he actually heard Satan's response: "I can't answer you this question because you can't decide whether she will fall in love with you or what you are attracted to. But all this is never for no reason. You can only decide what kind of charm you have. Maybe you should pray to the God of Youth and Love, but as far as I know, it's all up to you. I guide you a power that can restore you to your young and handsome face, not an information illusion that can be seen through."

This time, the real Amon was talking. When Faust returned to Enriel, Amon also returned to the Duke Plain. He heard Faust's prayer to Satan and responded to it in his soul. At the same time, he also guided the power of Faust's origin and also pointed out a special magical magic of transformation.

This magical magic technique cannot change a person's life, nor can it make Faust become another person, but Faust has enough magic power to show a young and handsome appearance when he confirms the power of his origin from scratch. In fact, this is a kind of magic auxiliary physical technique that can reshape bloodlines, but the prerequisite is that Faust needs to pass the tests of "purity of the body", "purity of the bloodline", "breakthrough of the limit".

...

Amon left Barron City two months after Hammorabi II's death. His whereabouts were very secretive. He was mixed in Nescott Lee's caravan, sitting in a very ordinary carriage with Wendy's accompanying him. People only knew that the man and the woman were Nescott Lee's relatives, and they wanted to follow the caravan to Salem City, but they were not sure that they were God Amon and the former Barron Saint.

The country has changed its monarch, and some people are happy and some are worried. For Nescott Li, a great merchant in the Uruk city-state, it is really a blessing. He originally set up a business in the city of Marduk, and cooperated with Medanzo to smuggle military supplies, including war horses, armor and weapons, etc. through wandering explorers, and at the same time he also does lending business, making money.

So the merchant saw the opportunity and increased his investment. His business in Marduak was getting bigger and bigger, not only including smuggling transactions with Salem, but also the newly built Marduak itself also needed commercial and trade support. The city lord Yusir once hosted a banquet to entertain Nescott Lee, who came to inspect the business, verbally praised him and promised to find an opportunity to commend his merits and win him the status of a nobleman.

But all these beautiful prospects were destroyed by a war. Due to the sudden invasion of the Assyrian Empire from the northeast, the army led by Prince Fengniao urgently retreated from the west bank of the Youdi River to help. The city of Marduke was captured by the Hati army and renamed Budamiya. The city of Yusir was gone. Nescott Li suffered heavy losses.

The most profitable business is gone, and the title of aristocrat is not to be expected. The businessman has lost a lot. He envies Siou, a fellow man in Mengfeisi City. Because he made friends with Amon in the war, Siou has not only become one of the best merchants in the Xia E, but also becomes the deputy director of the Mengfeisi City-State Property Office. He has the title of aristocrat and is allowed to buy a large area of ​​territory. His business talent is no less than Siou, so why is he so unlucky?

One afternoon, while Nescott Li was drinking and sighing, he suddenly fell from the sky. It turned out that after the new king Feng New I succeeded to the throne, he actually issued an order to commend the contributions made by Uruk merchant Nescott Li when the country was in war. Not only did he give him a title, but he also gave him a false position in the finance department of the Kingdom, and his title was higher than the status of Siou in Eju!
