Chapter 72 Chapter 6

As she spoke, the slender slave girl walked over with the food with a smile, and the tall slave followed behind her to set up the table, the aroma of the food filled the air, mixed with the cold fragrance of the Yassia flowers, there was a different kind of attraction, the little fat man was obviously very hesitant, living in the palace, he could eat it could be said to be one of the best foods of this era, but obviously they were not as mouthwatering as the ones in front of him.

“…… I think I'm going to have to go first. "If a six-year-old child is still a treasure in the hands of his parents, and if he lives alone with his mother in the palace, the first thing he must learn is to protect himself, to restrain his preferences, and to prevent slaves from taking advantage of his master's intentions.

“…… Be careful on the road. Ah Zhai was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the little fat man who was hungry to drool actually refused to eat here, and the next moment he suddenly realized that he was still careless after all, people in any era have their own unique survival skills, and obviously the children in front of him also have, and he was obviously too eager to let him eat rashly, but it was counterproductive, and it seemed to have ulterior motives.

"Goodbye." The little fat man held Huarong Dao in one hand and waved at Ah Zhai with a smile, Ah Zhai stood at the door and watched the little cub run away, and he only felt congested for a while.

Mersidis, a fair-hearted girl, followed her master to see off her little guest, and the clever slave girl realized in an instant her master's low mood, and thought of her master, who had been becoming more and more gentle lately, and the young girl boldly said, "Annu, dear master, the slave and maid have picked fresh Jessiah flowers and boiled them into nectar, and perhaps you would like to point out to the slave and maid." ”

"You actually collected nectar?" Ah Zhai is not a kind person, but he can't ignore the kindness released by others, although he feels very irritated at this moment, because the food he has carefully prepared has not been able to attract the attention of the little cub but makes him vigilant!

"Master, please try it." If there is anything that surprises Ah Zhai the most in this era, in addition to the beautiful architecture and carving, it is the level of Babylonian fired glass, and what Mersidis is holding in her hand is a translucent white glass thin-necked vase, which is decorated with a rose pattern in the way of glazed sand, and the bottle is not as tall as the palm of an adult man's hand, which shows that it is convenient to play with in addition to daily placement.

Mersidis poured the bottle slightly, and little by little amber viscous nectar dripped into the bowl, an almost golden hue that was dazzling in the sunlight.

"Mersidis, you're such a clever girl." Ah Zhai melted with water, and in addition to the sweetness between his lips and teeth, it was the taste of Ye Xi Minghua, which was generally a very good taste, "You can make a little more, although the portion is not much, but it is a good souvenir." ”

"Who are you going to visit?" The beautiful slave girl had a pair of talking eyes, and she had the audacity to look up at her master slightly.

"Yes." Ah Zhai smiled faintly, he originally attracted the little cub to his residence, but obviously he was startled, probably because of the effect of empathy, every time he thought of the last goodbye to Ian, he never thought that he actually lost to the so-called God! In the end, he still despised the power of faith, especially since that person had almost all of his devotion to the Holy See in the last world, so after talking to Sherlock that night, he was almost sure that the little cub was that person, and he had to admit that he was ecstatic at that time, and now the little fat man is still a child, like a blank piece of paper, does it mean that he can greatly influence him?

And now that the lure has failed, there is only one way left for him to get to the cub's side again and quickly - to join the power of the temple as in the original book.

The patron saint of the city of Babylon is Marduk, the son of the legendary Oia, who has no high status among the gods, but with the rise of Babylon he became the king of the gods, and in the city of Babylon there is his temple - Marduk, but the temple is still under further construction, and now it has been mostly completed and has been put into official use. At the same time, to the north of the temple is the famous Seven Yao Pagoda, where priests ascend to the Maduk Temple at the top of the tower every year during New Year's celebrations and recite the Enuma Sutra.

In the original plot, how the original owner entered the temple and became the powerful high priest Elishya did not specify, but later it was vaguely mentioned from the perspective of the male protagonist, as if the biological father of the original owner had saved Elishya's life, and the original owner's winery was annexed, and the original owner asked the high priest for help and got the trust of the old man, and the old man accepted the original owner as a disciple, taught what he had learned all his life, and let him inherit his status and wealth.

Now that it's Ah Zhai, Ah Zhai is really not sure if he can enter the temple in the same way, but he still thinks he will try, but fortunately for now, the original owner still maintains the habit of visiting the old man every three or four weeks.

The next morning, he dressed in a cerulean chunik, covered with a light white cloak and hung with tassels of various colors according to local custom. In order to adapt to his own aesthetics, Ah Otaku instructed the Messidith to make simple changes, making the whole dress more loose and comfortable, and the girl who had recently been obsessed with the Yasim tea flower even embroidered the same pattern on the master's clothes, but fortunately, her benevolent master did not blame her - of course, this is also because the little girl's embroidery is very good, and the Jesime tea flowers that bloom on the clothes seem to have life and show different forms with the light shining on them, from budding to blooming to finally withering.

After packing up, Ah Zhai took Ulu out, and before leaving, he told Mercidis a few words, in fact, he still had some expectations in his heart, if the little cub came to visit him again today.

Ah Zhai didn't plan to take Sherlock with him, but the black cat said that he was still very bored in the house, and it held Jin Zichu until Ah Zhai compromised and bent down to hold it in his arms.

Uru walked behind him, carrying a distilled Jessiah tea, a freshly brewed flower dew from Mersidis, and a custom-made wine vessel designed by Otaku consisting of a silver jug and six silver cups, carved with the image of Marduk, and decorated with lapis lazuli, turquoise, and red coral, a design that made Otaku himself very proud.

As in other countries around the Mediterranean, the priests lived in the houses around the temple, so the two of them left their homes and walked all the way to the temple of Marduk.

The summer of the Mediterranean Sea is dry and hot, it was rare to have a rain last night, and when I woke up today, the blue sky was like a wash, and Ah Zhai took Ulu to walk on the pilgrimage road to the Maduk Temple, and there were tall statues along the road, Ah Zhai knew from the memory of the original owner that this was Maduk as if he was a snake girl, but they were not fixed forms, of course, from Ah Zhai's eyes, he felt that these statues were a little too charming and not solemn enough, and the walls on both sides were decorated with murals that told the story of the "Anuma Sutra", Here you can even see the prototype of Marduk, the majestic and tall Sirushron.

At the end of the road is the famous Seven Yao Pagoda, which has an earthy color and can even be seen dotted with gemstones, which show a thick and ancient atmosphere after experiencing wind and rain and sun, which makes people feel awe.

From the perspective of later generations, the height of the Seven Yao Pagoda is not high enough, but considering the current level of production, the height of nearly 100 meters is amazing—no wonder later generations called it Babel Tower.

The two of them bowed like every pilgrim who came here and then made a detour, they were not priests and could not go directly to the Maduk Temple through the Guò Seven Yao Pagoda, although the two could be directly connected by a door to Guò.

Passing around the Seven Yao Pagoda is a lake of deep shades of blue from far to near, which is the symbol of the god Oia the father of Maduk, and in this clear blue stands the Maduk Temple. At this time, it was only ten o'clock in the morning, but the wind was already rising, and the lake that was still like a mirror instantly set off wind and waves, Ah Zhai stood by the lake and couldn't retreat, the waves instantly wet the corners of his clothes, the morning sun appeared on his left, and the young man's white jade-like side face was dyed with a thin rouge color, and the whole person seemed to be gorgeous as if all the surroundings had become a foil.

"Master." Uru fell to his knees in fear.

"Let's go by boat." Ah Zhai stroked his head soothingly, the difference between the tall young man and the slender young man, the difference in identity brought about a completely different result from the figure, attracting the people around to look this way.

Ulu listened to the command, respectfully went to the ferry, found a wooden boat, paid the coin, and helped his master to ride respectfully.

"Let's go north." Ulu followed him unaware, but the keen boatman heard it at first, and he smiled and introduced to the story of the Enuma Sutra in which Demaduk summoned the gods of heaven and earth (aki), defeated Timat with his wise decision, and became the king of the gods.

"You're right, besides, I'm a resident of Babylon." After getting off the boat, Ah Zhai smiled slightly, he had actually guessed the thoughts of the boat family, but he didn't stop it, after all, although it could be found in the memory of the original owner, he still liked to experience it himself.

The master and servant walked over the docks, turning the winding alleys, leaving behind the crowded docks, where they could see many white houses, which were the dwellings of the monks of the temple, and the high priest Elishya did not live in this place, but by the lake not far away.

"Lord Priestess, Jin has come to visit you." In front of the yard where the old man lived, Ah Zhai said loudly
