Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 233: Prison of Barron

Faust sighed, "It's a pity that this world is like this. Maybe the day when the end comes, there will be gods judging the world."

Samir said slightly: "That's the world of Sinach. Sinach has ushered in his end. Master, do you want to say that there is a Sinach in the world? Don't forget that we are in It is not the end of the world to discuss Assyrian national policy. "

Faust bowed and apologized, "My Majesty, forgive me for pulling the topic away and returning to the discussion just now. We should first maintain the stability of the Assyrian Empire. It cannot collapse. The Assyrian Empire now looks strong, but once it collapses Then the fate is worrying, and the fate of the slaughter may fall on the Assyrian conqueror.

The occupied land must not be returned. First of all, we must consolidate the rule in the occupied area. At present, we are unable to expand again. Even if we cannot hold this place in the future, we must shrink back, and we cannot return them to Balun. People divide and conquer, provoke civil strife, and let the other party be in chaos forever. "

Samir frowned slightly. "You're guessing the future, and I'm asking the present."

Faust whispered: "But what I worry about is the future. Do you think that the Assyrian army will still be able to maintain the fighting power and will of Sinach in the near future?"

Samir sighed and replied, "Of course not!"

For more than ten years, Cinnah had been a strong soldier. The people of the Assyrian Empire tightened their belts to train such a powerful army. What was the purpose? Just to conquer! And what is the purpose of the conquest? Those Assyrian warriors have become emerging nobles, plundering a lot of wealth, owning large tracts of land and hordes of slaves, the arrogant and extravagant habits are spreading increasingly. Even if they are still brave fighters now, in a few years, wait for their next generation? What's left for the world besides brutality?

After sighing, Semir said, "Either the end of the world, or the future of Assyria, the National Normal University, today is talking about today's national policy."

Faust groaned: "To digest and assimilate the occupied city states as soon as possible, the focus is to consolidate the benefits that have been achieved so that all parties can have gains. The national policy I once formulated for Emperor Sinach, he did not thoroughly Adopt it, there is no need to update it now, if Prime Minister Alpha also supports it, then there is only one thing left. "

Samir asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Faust: "Let Her Majesty Sinnach choose the most suitable time to die. You become the Assyrian Queen. If you want to save the fate of this empire, you must control it yourself."

There was a little doubt in Samir's expression: "I'm just a samurai and a woman. How can I become the Assyrian Emperor?"

Faust looked up and stared at Samir with a warm look: "I will fully support you. In my mind, you have always been my queen!"

But Samir avoided his eyes and waved his hand: "Master, I understand what you mean. It's not too late, and you should be tired. Please take a rest."

Faust stopped talking and had to retreat. When he came to the door, Semir suddenly called him: "Wait!"

Faust turned quickly and looked at Samir. "My queen, what else can I do for you?"

Samir looked at him with questioning eyes, and then slowly asked: "You are the most knowledgeable person in this empire. As far as you know, is there any possible cure in the world for Sinach? Tell me truthfully, please Don't hide! "

Faust sighed slightly and replied: "My Majesty, as far as I know, there is indeed a certain type of divine magic that can cure Sinah's injury. It is the blessing of Isis performed by the patron saint of the Temple of Eguise Besides, no **** of blessing in the world can do it! "

Samir froze and said, "This is tantamount to saying nothing."

Faust also said, "This may really be the will of the gods. Regarding this matter, did the gods drop the oracle?"

Samir asked meaningfully, "Which deity does the Master say?"

Faust bowed his head and replied, "Enril."

Semir said indiscriminately: "The announcement I issued was in accordance with the instructions of the Enril deity. At least on the surface, none of us violated the Enril deity, right?"

Faust: "According to Enril's oracle, the empire's announcement mentions only one Amon god, let him bear all of this. This is clearly to allow the Assyrian Empire to continue to die with Salem, if you Ascended to the throne, but did not retaliate against the launch of Salem, I am afraid that some people in China will not accept it. "

Samir asked again: "Master, what do you think of this?"

Faust stepped forward at the door and replied, "This is a dilemma. You are now in power, and the emperor team will be transferred to the city of Rees to monitor it at any time. If you send an army back to the Assyrian Empire, The mainland expedition across the plateau may be out of control, and it is inevitable that something will happen. However, if you do not avenge Sinah the Great, you will not be able to calm the voices of doubt and opposition, and you will not get support from all sides. There is a danger of division within the Empire . "

Samir waved again: "I know what to do, you go to rest."

Faust thought that Semir would stop him and say more or something else. He unexpectedly asked two questions and still let him back down. What he wanted to say in his heart never had a chance to say. Export. He had given him enough hints and expressed his feelings for her, and tried to make him understand what he meant to her now, but he didn't respond.

When Faust walked out of the inner temple, he couldn't help thinking about it in his heart. Does it need to be clearer? But if he did that, he would not be expressing love, but would become a threat, and his heart was full of tangles.

...

Near the Barron River, near the Barron River, there is a towering sky towering into the clouds. The world calls it the Barron Sky Tower, and it is officially called "Tianjin Gate" in the kingdom.

This tower has a history of hundreds of years and has been carefully constructed by the Barron kingdoms of all ages. It is a wonder on the continent of Tianshu. The tower is a huge multi-story platform, with a total of nine floors, each of which is more than thirty feet high, and there are spiral steps along the outer tower to reach the top of the tower.

In front of the entrance under the tower is the Marduk Temple, and on the ninth floor of the tower, it is either a temple for the gods or a palace of the **** Marduk in the world. No one will stand in his own "home" for his worship, because he himself is the god.

Legend has it that the top of the tower was the gate to the kingdom of God, and the kings of Baron had built residences for the **** Marduk they believed in. According to the ideal of worldly life, people serve the gods like the emperor, and choose the young and beautiful women of the kingdom to live here with Marduk. Only the king and the high priest of the kingdom are entitled to enter and exit the tower at will, which symbolizes listening to the teachings of the gods in person, but even they cannot enter the palace of the great Marduk.

The eight floors below this tower can only be accessed with the permission of the Kingdom's main shrine. Usually only senior priests are eligible to climb the tower. But today came a very special guest, accompanied by Prince Feng New, through the Marduk Temple to the tower, and let the guarded warriors aside. When the prince came, he stepped back two steps and followed the man.

If this person wants to climb to the top of the tower, even if Prince Feng Niu's intention is against the laws of the kingdom, I am afraid that the priests who guard the eight floors below will not be willing to let go. However, Prince Feng New did not order the priest to let go, but to let the guarded warrior step down, and he sent this person to the foot of the tower.

The man stepped into the void and appeared at the top of the tower the next moment, and this towering tower Amon stepped up. It is unimaginable that artisans on the earth will create such a miracle. This tower was built by cutting a whole stone mountain into a conical shape and flattening the top. It reached the top of the tower and faced a golden palace with guards outside the palace. , There are ministerial maids in the palace.

Amon didn't enter the door or say hello to anyone. He stepped on the top of the tower and then took the second step and disappeared.

...

Wendy-Heriya wears light embroidered clothes, her exquisite body is looming, and she walks into the palace of Marduk step by step. It's time for Marduk God to take a nap in the afternoon, and she is going to wait for the **** to take a nap. Although it has been three years since he came here, Wendy has never seen the legendary great god, but all the rituals of daily living can not be lax.

She walked into the luxurious dormitory and bowed to the big bed first, kneeling down to untie the shawl embroidery, leaving only the tassel pendant between her chest and the lower abdomen, and then stood up to lie on the left side of the big bed. Every day in the afternoon she would do the same thing. She washed the body with warm spiced water to serve the sleeping gods who did not exist.

This may be a legendary sacred ritual for the subjects of the Kingdom of Barron, but Wendy's mind is numb, just repeating the mechanical movement every day.

After she lay down, she didn't have a trace of tiredness. Every day except for eating, praying, bathing and changing clothes, and sleeping, she had nothing else to do and could not leave the top of the tower. She was chosen from the people. She is a woman who serves the Marduk gods. She lives in the gate of the gods leading to the kingdom of God and cannot walk down this tower.

Her mood when she first ascended the tower three years ago has now been forgotten, as if it had been hundreds of years ago, and now when I think about it, there is no happiness and excitement, more than just restlessness and fear. But after three years, she felt like a body, beautiful and **** but without soul.

Now that fear has disappeared, she doesn't even care if she is dead or alive, lying on the soft big bed and muttering to herself: "Malduk, everyone calls you a great god, but where are you?" I have never seen you, the so-called Virgin of Baron who came here before me, and they have never seen you before they die.

There is a legend in the world that the Virgin of Baron will always remain youthful and beautiful. Yes, I have to accept the blessings of the priests every day to protect the delicate face. However, it is not clear that the maiden of Baron in almost all ages died before youth, because there was no love in this place.

People call me the Virgin of Barron, but I don't know that I am actually a prisoner of Barron. The prisoners who have been imprisoned in this palace forever can not get out of the gate of the palace on the top of the tower. Marduk, if you are really a god, you should be able to hear my voice, please release your prisoner. If you don't want to, even end my meaningless life. "

"Are you the legendary Virgin of Barron? It is really beautiful!" A man's voice suddenly sounded in the palace.

Wendy jumped from the bed in exclaim, her **** drawing an elastic curve under the fringe on her chest, staring blankly at the man who suddenly appeared. He is a young man, with sharp edges and corners, with a firm expression on the corners of his mouth, but a soft look, a handsome figure and a handsome body, wearing a light white hessian robe, spotless on his body.

The gate of the palace was closed all the time, so he appeared in front of the bed out of thin air. There can be no man in this dormitory, even the King and the High Priest of the Kingdom! Wendy's daily life is taken care of by the maid in the gate of the gods. The maids are rotated once a year. Unlike Wendy, who wants to stay here forever, she is envious of those maids.

As the Baron in the gate of the **** of heaven, is a woman who serves the **** of god, of course, there should be no disrespect for the gods. But Wendy didn't matter anymore, all this was just meaningless exhaustion of life. Today I finally spoke the words in my heart, and then I heard the voice of a man and saw him appear in front of the bed!

Wendy's instant horror was indescribable. When the reaction came, she didn't even think about it. She jumped off the bed and kissed the carpet in front of Amon's feet. She said with a trembling voice: "The great God Marduk, You have finally appeared! ... Please forgive Wendy's disrespect, but that is indeed my voice .... If you want to punish me or even end my life, Wendy will not complain! "

The visitor was not Marduk, but Amon who visited the gate of the **** of heaven.

Amon looked at her, somehow the expression in her eyes was complicated, including gentle regrets and even painful memories. With a wave of his hand, an invisible force lifted Wendy out of thin air and said as softly as possible: "You haven't answered my question yet, are you the Virgin of Baron?"

Wendy shuddered and answered, "Yes, my name is Wendy. It is the woman who serves you here. The Virgin of Baron was someone else, now it is me."

What touched Amon's heart was the title of "Virgin", but the so-called "Virgin of Baron" and the "Issis Guardian Virgin" of the Egyre Empire were completely different. The chief high priest of Eju, and Wendy was nothing more than a poor prisoner on the tower of Barron.

But when he heard the title of the maiden, Amon couldn't help thinking of Maria. He also heard Wendy's voice just now, knowing what kind of suffering the beautiful young girl suffered in her heart, so much that she said so to the gods. Disrespectful words come. He remembered the old Maria again, why didn't he also live in that invisible fate cage, he couldn't even touch her.

This **** raised a wish inexplicably in his heart. He wanted to rescue this poor girl and let her realize her wish, just to remember the eternal Mary in her heart.

Thinking of this, Amon didn't say anything about his identity. Wendy recognized the wrong person, he was not Marduk, but there was nothing wrong, he was indeed a god. Amon sat down on the large and comfortable chair in the palace and said in a mysterious and serene tone: "Wendy, the gods have heard your voice and have appeared in front of you. Please tell me what I just said is Do you wish? Have you ever wondered what you will face when you step down this tower? "

Wendy raised her beautiful face and replied timidly: "Please forgive me. I ca n’t believe that the gods really appear in front of me for a while. I do n’t know what to say? Your look is completely different from what I imagined!"

Amon laughed, secretly performing divine magic to appease Wendy's overwhelmed emotions, and sat there and replied: "You don't have to care about what I look like, different gods may appear in different faces. In front of the gods, you just need Speak your prayers. "

Wendy gradually calmed down, as if summoning courage and bowed his head and replied: "My prayers you have heard. As for what it looks like under the Tower of Barront, I don't understand it, because I grew up there and came from there. If you think my thoughts are a betrayal of the gods, I would rather be punished, because I really think so. "

Amon asked again, "Where are you from the kingdom of Barron."

Wendy replied, "I grew up in the city of Rice."

Amon felt a little cold in his heart and had to say, "Don't you know that the city of Rees, your hometown is no longer there? The Assyrian Empire captured it and carried out a brutal slaughter of the city."

Wendy finally couldn't help shaking her shoulders and started sobbing: "Of course I know that when the high priest ascended the tower to pray to the gods clearly, I thought that my soul had become numb after coming to the gate of the gods. Knowing that I will still leave tears. I prayed to the gods over and over again, but did not save my hometown. It was then that I germinated my voice. God, why ca n’t you save the city of Rhys? Imprison me here? "

Amon was sighing. This sigh seemed desolate and helpless. He shook his head and said, "It's not that I destroyed the city of Rees, that's the army of the empire on earth, nor that I've imprisoned you here, that's the priests of the kingdom of Baron. ... I can help you achieve your wishes, but tell me, beautiful girl, what can you do after leaving here? "

Wendy replied, "My father is a gardener and the best gardener in the city of Reese. I will grow all kinds of flowers and trees, and I know how to trim them to make them grow stronger. With aromatic ornaments, I also cultivate the seeds of various plants, I can embroider, I can cut clothes, I can ... "

Amon waved his hand and said, "Enough is enough, these are enough. I will help you leave here and go to a place where you are needed to do your gardening. But I also want to ask you a question, please look at it Answer me well inside. "
