Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 261: Lover

The girl was no longer in the brothel. Faust was wounded in the brothel and he did not know where he was going. He injured a young officer who had just returned from the front line. The soldiers who came to seek revenge could not find Faust, so they found a brothel, smashed the door of the brothel, demolished two chambers, and injured several nursing homes.

That brothel was the property of the Alpha family of the prime minister, and the incident happened again during the state funeral of Emperor Sinach, so the *** 's officer was severely punished because he was not put in prison but was cut off because of his military skills And compensated a large sum of money. This is more or less the Alpha family taking the opportunity to prestige. The impulsive officer became a bad luck, and the girl was implicated.

The girl spent a lot of money to help the officer compensate, and this money was Faust ’s generous gift to the girl. The girl left the brothel and was said to be marrying the dismissed officer. This is also a good home. . But the officer did not marry her, or did not have time to marry her. He accepted the girl's money and brought her home, and was immediately sent to the front.

This officer was a sixth-level warrior. Although he lost his official position, his role on the battlefield was still very important. He was valued by the commander of the legion and continued to let him command a team of cavalry.

The officer went to the front, and the girl stayed at the officer's home. It is not clear whether the officer really wanted to marry this girl, but he did take a heavy sum of money from the girl to save himself from prison and promised to marry her. In addition to the girl's compensation for the loss of the brothel for the officer, the remaining half of the money was also given to the officer to subsidize the family, so that he has no worries on the front line.

The officer was born in a lower-level noble family with no title and no land. His family was very similar to that of Medanzo. His father had died. He had an elderly mother and a group of servants. However, the officer's family, especially his mother, did not like the girl very much. After the officer left, the old lady did not treat her as a daughter-in-law, and her treatment was not as good as that of the maid at home. Even the servants were also indulged by the hostess. She often humiliates and bullies her.

The reason is very simple. The old lady thinks that it is because the prostitute fascinated his son that the son committed the crime and even lost his official position. The girl is the culprit for all this. At first, because the girl's money was needed to relieve her son's jail, the old lady was not good at opposing her son's decision, but when things passed and the officer went to the front again, how could this family look good to the girl How about it? How could the old lady want her son to marry a lowly prostitute, and her beauty became a sin.

With Faust's status and means, it is not difficult to inquire about the girl's whereabouts, or to alarm anyone to sneak into the officer's house to meet her. The sage master learned that the real name of the girl was Magan tears.

Faust saw Magan's tears again. It was the early winter season. There was a small wind in the backyard. There was a lot of dirty clothes in the big tub. The girl sat down beside the tub and washes her clothes, wrapped in her hair. A shabby headscarf, a strand of hair hanging from the forehead shakes rhythmically with the action of vigorous scrubbing. Her face was still beautiful, her skin was still so white and delicate, but she could not hide her sloppy look, her hands were red in the cold water, and many places were cracked.

Faust stood opposite the tub and looked at her quietly, with an inexplicable sorrow in his heart. Did he make her suffer such a fate? But what happened to Faust and she hadn't happened that few years ago?

Magan's tears were weak and kind, otherwise she would not use her own money to rescue the troubled officer. However, the abuse she is receiving at the officer's house today cannot be said to have no reason. The idea of ​​the officer's mother is common in the world. If you want to bemoan, bemoan this world. Isn't power and erudition like Faust's heart full of regret and helplessness?

Faust was sighing as he hid his body. A manservant walked into the backyard and threw a sheet into a tub. He yelled at Magan with tears: "Why is it so slow? Dinner is coming soon, kitchen The work in the house hasn't been cleaned up yet. This is not when you are in a brothel, you can live a comfortable life by making fun of it.

Magan didn't speak, and silently dipped the sheets in cold water and scrubbed the pile of clothes. Suddenly a hot drop fell on her cracked hand, and she was crying silently. Magan raised her arms and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, but her motion suddenly stopped, and she opened her mouth and stared blankly because Faust showed her figure.

Suddenly there was a man in the yard, like a ghost, suddenly burst out. Magan's tears were terrified. When she saw the face of the man, she was stunned again. Faust's use of space divine magic closed his voice, and said softly, "Magan tears, don't be afraid, I came to see you on purpose. Do you remember me?"

The girl finally shouted: "Master Sage, you are Faust of Sage! Who doesn't know you in the empire? I once saw your face far away in the sacrifice ceremony, dreaming also I didn't expect you to appear in front of me! Did you hear my prayers and calls to the gods? ... You must have heard them, and people said that you are a messenger sent by the gods to the world, and you have omnipotent magic! ... … Master Guoshi, did the gods hear my call and let you appear here? "

Faust's appearance has changed. Magan tears did not know that Faust in front of him was the one who brought her doom that year, and she did not even dare to think so. But she knew Faust today and met the most charming man in the empire at the sacrifice ceremony. Faust is at the center of everyone's attention in any sacrifice ceremony, and people are rendering him more and more amazing.

Faust's heart was a little stunned, and Yan Yue asked, "What kind of prayers and calls did you send to the gods? You should stand far away from me at the sacrifice ceremony of the empire, only to come out of the temple. At that moment, when I saw it from a long distance from the square, why do I remember my appearance so clearly, so I can be so sure at first sight? "

In front of Faust, Ma Gan tears opened her heart completely for some reason, and was willing to tell the secrets of her heart. She stood up in a panic, wiped her hands on the apron, stepped back and knelt down on the ground to salute: "In front of you and the gods, I dare not hide anything. A few years ago, I was a prostitute in the city of Neville. A guest loved me and I accompanied me every day, but I angered another guest. This is the house now The hostess ’s son, he is a general ... "

Magan Tears briefly described the experience of that year, and finally explained it in a sincere and horrifying way: "I once heard someone mention that the unknown guest looks a bit like you, Master Sage, and is very curious. There was a year ago An opportunity, I saw you from a distance at the Imperial Ceremony. From then on, as long as I have the opportunity to go out to participate in the various sacrifice rituals of the Empire, I will look at you from afar, so I remember you very clearly. I confess to you all this, please forgive my offense and blasphemy, I am just out of curiosity. "

Faust asked again, "I've come to you. Please take a good look. Am I that person?"

The girl lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at her, trembling with trembling and said, "Master Sage, the omniscient **** must have noticed my inner disrespect, are you here to punish me? I do blaspheme I do n’t know how I can forgive my sin? ”

Faust sighed in his heart. When she didn't expect to see Magan cry, the girl no longer knew him, but she could recognize him as Faust of the Sage. Faust wanted to tell Magan tears that he was the same person but he didn't speak. Even if he said that the girl couldn't believe it, she would be frightened.

He wanted to repent and ask for forgiveness, but he didn't have the courage to say everything, maybe everything was unnecessary. Now he just thought about how to compensate the girl and restore his fault.

Faust beckoned, and the invisible power lifted the girl from the ground like a gentle hug. He said softly: "Magan tears, I didn't come to punish you, and you didn't do anything wrong. The gods heard it. Your call, let me help you and fulfill your desire, please speak your prayers to God before me. "

Magan's tears showed an almost insane surprise, and she clenched her chest and exclaimed, "Is this true? Great god! Great Enril."

Faust almost softened his legs so that he didn't stand still. The girl still praised Enril in front of him! But he couldn't say anything, only to perform the blessing divine technique to appease the girl's soul, and said unwillingly: "Please say your prayer, what is your wish to let the gods help you achieve it?"

Magan replied with tears in excitement: "My prayer to the gods is to hope that the gods will forgive me. If it were not for me, Hisham would not have broken into a calamity and lost his official title. I hope the gods bless him. I can be safe on the front line and build up my career to restore glory. I also hope that Hisham's family will not abuse me any more, so that I can live a safe life. "

Hisham was the sacked officer, Faust asked, "Is that all?"

Magan lowered her head in tears, rubbing her apron with her hands in anxiety and saying, "The gods can forgive me for my faults. I have been grateful and dare not have any extravagance."

Faust nodded with pity, staring at Ma Gan tears and saying, "What does it mean to live a safe life? Hisham once said that he would marry you. You have to wait for him to perform on the battlefield. , Will you go home and marry you after the official restoration? Please tell me the truth, there is no need to hide anything. "

Magan bit her lip in tears and shook her head as if determined: "No, I don't want to marry him, nor can I marry him."

Faust asked again, "Oh, why? If I were willing to help, as long as the trustee passed on a word, Hisham would obediently marry you, and their whole family would not dare to show any respect for you. "

Hisham replied softly: "I dare not hide my voice in the presence of the gods. I have no doubt that you can do all this, but this is not what I want and what I can get. If that is the case, Heath He didn't marry me, but your words. I now know that Heathmu didn't really want to marry me, he just needed my money to help him get out of jail and settle his family.

And his mother hates me, not for no reason, and any mother would inevitably think like that. These are my misfortunes, but I do n’t know how to get rid of this misfortune, so I call the gods in my heart, but I do n’t get the answer. I finally met you today! Lord, the most wise sage of the entire empire, what should I do? "

This sentence stopped Faust from asking, and he couldn't answer it, just like he had too many wishes to realize, but he didn't know how to do it. According to his status and methods, there are many ways to help Ma Gan tears, but these need to be done by others, and the problem of Ma Gan tears obviously does not mean this.

She was asking the empire's most intelligent Faust, what should she do? In fact, in the circumstances of Magan's tears, she had given everything and could not do better.

The girl's question seemed to be Faust's self-examination, and he called Satan in his heart. What should he do in the modern Assyrian empire? Seeing Faust was in deep thought, Magan asked carefully after tears: "Master Sage, can you tell me?"

Faust came back to God, reached out and took out a small bottle and handed it to her: "This is a magical bottle of medicine. Apply it a little before bed each day. Within a few days, you can heal the crack in your hand. It can make your hand feel sharper and the joints more flexible. If you want to know the answer, then try to do something first. Find an opportunity to tell the hostess of this house that you will knit and embroider, and process the favorite of the nobles Clothing and embroidery can make a lot of money. "

Magan cried in tears: "I can knit and embroider, but I can't embroider so well."

Faust smiled: "I will teach you in a way and imprint your skills into your soul. You can do it only if you are attentive and skillful."

Magan Tears: "Thank you for helping me in this way, so that I can do more and more usefully. But I understand the temperament of this mistress. If I can really do it, she will urge me day and night. Processing more embroidery is nothing more than changing from one kind of abuse to another. "

Faust reminded: "It depends on how you do it. The skills are in your hands. You need to know how to use it to improve your own situation. For example, you can declare how much you can embroider in a day. You need to take a good rest, and if all this matters to your mistress, you will naturally improve your situation. "

"But this ..." Magan burst into tears, always feeling that Faust's method of teaching her was a little problem, but she couldn't figure out where the problem was, and then she bowed to the idiosyncrasy: "Thank you for your help, thank God Guide! "

"You will hear my voice and know what to do, so that at least you have the opportunity to go out often, and I will see you again." When Magan heard the tears and raised his head again, Faust was gone. Now, she was holding a delicate medicine bottle in her hand, showing that everything just happened has happened.

...

Magan's tears were done in accordance with Faust's words, and I don't know what method Faust used. The bottle of medicine was really amazing. After the cracks in her hands were healed, she became more dexterous than before, and her soul There seems to be a voice teaching her superb knitting and embroidery skills.

Finally, one day, she told his mother to Hisham's mother. The old woman began to scold Magan's whimsy, but when she heard that her craft could make a lot of money, she was tempted. Let Magan Tear try it, but all the materials need Magan Tear to go to the shop to credit herself, and the woven and embroidered things must be brought to the shop to sell.

There was a voice in her soul telling Ma Gan tears, in which shop in Nineveh City to credit the materials, what kind of embroidery would this shop make and pay her?

Faust's arrangement of this trivial matter was naturally easy. His original idea was to help the girl secretly by spending a lot of money to do something that made her feel more useful. But later the situation was beyond his expectation. Professor Faust's tears were naturally the most brilliant technique, and the girl's embroidery was almost the most exquisite in Neville. It was loved by noble customers. Very valuable.

The shop is not worried about selling it, and even accepts special commission to find Magan tear processing. In other words, in fact, Faust doesn't need to do anything more. Magan Tears can make enough money by his craft. For the wealthy and wealthy, although the money is nothing, the money that Ma Gan tears earned through craftsmanship is enough for ordinary people to live a good life.

So Ma Gan tears do not have to do heavy work day and night, as for knitting and embroidery. Hisham's mother naturally hoped that she could do as much as possible, preferably day and night, but Magan Tears replied according to Faust's teachings: "These are custom jewelry made by noble adults. Accidental processing is broken, and I need to pay a lot of money. I have to rest well to get these things done. "

Magan's situation in Hisham's house has improved a lot, but she still has a bad time. In addition to rest and meals every day, she must be urged by the old lady to process one piece after another. Embroidery. But the kind girl still prays prayerfully every night, expressing her gratitude to Faust and Faust.

One night, the girl heard Faust's voice again, "You don't owe this family anything, you can give them everything, why not leave?"

Magan replied, "I don't have a home anymore. Where can I go from here?"

Faust said: "With your current skills, you can fully support yourself. You can do as much embroidery as you like every day, and then do what you want to do."

Magan was silent, she was obviously very emotional but worried, and finally sighed and replied, "I can't do this yet, I promised Hisham to take care of his mother. This is my promise, even if I If you want to leave this home, you have to wait until he comes back. Because of me, he lost his position and lost a generous salary. It is difficult to maintain his life in the home as before. When he establishes his meritorious position, everything will become As before, I made up for my fault. "

Faust also advised: "It wasn't your fault at the time. Heathham plucked his sword, only because of his impulse, anger, jealousy, arrogance and arrogance. Why should you blame it all on yourself? "

The girl thought for a while and still replied, "It makes sense for you to say, but I have promised. Although I will not marry him, I will wait until he returns, and then follow your suggestion to leave here."

Faust, the distinguished sage master, had so many military affairs to deal with, but spent these thoughts for Ma Gan tears, more or less because of a psychology of atonement and compensation. This girl symbolizes the hidden secret in his heart, the prince's chief high priest who is admired by all peoples, like the imprint of Satan lurking in his heart.

There are many ways Faust can help Magan tear, but only according to Magan's own will, this is also a kind of self-reparation and redemption. He wanted to make Magan tears to find the joy of life step by step, and before he could make more arrangements, the outbreak of war kept him busy.

First, the kingdom of Poz annexed Elan, a small country to the north of Assyria, and then Hati and Assyria joined forces to repel Cyrus' offensive on the northern front, and then Cyrus the king of Poz sent a general, Darius, Attack the six city-states ceded to the Assyrian Empire from the southern front by the kingdom of Baron.

The Assyrian Empire was defeated, and all the territories that had expanded during the Sinah era were lost. The Army of Poz established a new province, cut off the connection between Assyria and Barron, and then swallowed up the kingdom of Hatti, completely enclosing the Duke Plain and the Assyrian Empire in its territory.

Although the war has not yet spread to Assyrian territory, anyone with a good eye can see that the fate of this empire is at stake. What made Faust speechless was that the more setbacks the Assyrian Empire suffered across the board, the more important his status in the Empire became. The people saw this seemingly omniscient and omnipotent sage master as the last hope of saving the fate of the empire.

Queen Semir, who has lost her skills in the world, is increasingly reusing and relying on Faust, so she must ask him everything. Faust received the power directed by Satan. He had never been so powerful, but in the face of the situation of the Assyrian Empire, he felt never weaker. He could not save the Assyrian Empire. His knowledge and wisdom made him see the situation more clearly than anyone.

Knowing that it is irretrievable, but also making every effort in vain, accepting praise from people every day, watching those eager expectations in people's eyes, Faust's mood can be imagined. He felt very tired, either the body and energy could not stand it, or the helpless exhaustion in his soul.

The most charming man in the empire finally, once again, would rather sink into indulgence, even if he could escape for such a moment and find such a touch of comfort. He once again possessed Magan's tears, and yes, he seduced her. Not to mention how fascinating Faust's charm is today, he couldn't refuse in her mind like a god, and the girl was 120,000 willing to obey his will.

Magan tears often go to the store, take the materials needed for embroidery, and send the processed embroidery back. There are many opportunities to go out. Faust bought a secluded yard not far from the shop, and finally one day, he decided to quietly guide Magan to tears to come here.
