Chapter 91 Chapter 7
"And with Jehoiakim and Jeremiah's precedent, she was able to perceive the looming affection between me and Oia." Ah Zhai stretched out his hand, changed to a comfortable position, lay on his back in the canoe, and let the boat slowly swim down the water, "She doesn't even have to figure it out, anyway, when I die, they are spreading some rumors such as Oia is jealous of me and then killed me, it is enough for Babylon to be anxious for a while-although there is a suspicion of boasting, but my chief priest for more than ten years has not done it in vain, and my support rating in the hearts of the people is only on par with Oia." Maybe even more prestige than he won the hearts of the people—enough to make Judas breathless, and Jeremiah was able to follow Mittis into the palace, and I guess there was a shadow of her in it. ”
"Well, Nana and Mitis are indeed good friends." Seeing him pillowed his head on his arm, he couldn't help but urge anxiously with a lazy look, he definitely didn't admit that he was almost intoxicated by the other party's soft voice, and almost couldn't wake up, "You haven't said Zuo Xunli yet?" ”
"In the military industry, boys are generally sharper than girls." Ah Zhai rarely saw Sherlock's dementia and adoring look and couldn't help but be a little funny, "Most Chinese girls may not have watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but most of the boys have seen it, and even many of them have a few stories that happened in it, he awakened the memory of his previous life and the memory of the local, and then checked it to be able to detect that I was wrong, after all, I have never covered it up, but according to my previous experience of watching the crossing, the so-called crossing the countryman to see the countryman, eight times out of ten, Nine is to stab each other, as the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, this is the truth, so he should be able to guess that Babylon has developed rapidly in a short period of ten years, and naturally in addition to the original history, it is more likely to be my handiwork. ”
"And then?" The black cat opened a pair of big amber eyes, and was very puzzled why the other party suddenly stopped.
"For so many years, Babylon has been more or less influenced by me, and at the time when Elishia has not been going out for many years, and he is old and old, and Oia has just ascended the throne for a year, the most powerful and stable high priest of the temple of Marduk, the most powerful and stable in the whole of Babylon - heh, if I die, it will definitely not be good for Babylon, and maybe even regress quickly - although I don't want to admit it, in the eyes of outsiders, there is indeed a talent gap in Babylon." Ah Zhai said and shook his head slightly, "Anyway, Subia, they have suffered a little bit in terms of age after all. ”
"But I don't think they expected that the only one among them was Ia, and in any case, I believe the kid I taught him wasn't a mediocre person."
"You trust him so much!" Sherlock wagged his tail stupidly, he would never tell the other party that the other person's achievements after his death could be said to far exceed all the emperors of Babylon or Neo-Babylon projected in the Overworld.
"Why not?" Ah Zhai smiled and asked, "If there are not so many worlds of reincarnation, probably I can't compare to him, he should be a genius in this world, even if he is not like me with the knowledge that many years later." ”
“…… You're not going to ask where we are? "The black cat felt that he was a little bored, who was going to die or live in the previous worlds, hum.
"If I hadn't anticipated the mistake, we would be in Egypt by now." Because the last world was often at war with Egypt, Ah Zhai also had a more detailed understanding of the country of Egypt, and seeing the patches of reeds around him, as well as the desert that could be seen in the distance, he really couldn't think of anything other than Egypt and that country would be like this, but he didn't know what era he was in.
"You guessed it, but there is no reward." The black cat curled up beside him, and the evening breeze, though gentle, still blew its fur into a mess, and it was unbearable.
"Give me the memory ball." Looking at the wide, almost invisible river, Ah Zhai estimated that he should be floating on the Nile now, and judging by the surrounding aquatic plants, he should be in the so-called Lower Egypt.
"Look." The black cat snorted helplessly.
Ah Zhai reached out and touched the soft fur of the other party, and took the memory ball with a smile.
Originally, Ah Zhai didn't expect that he could have the blood of the Chinese people flowing in his body, after all, in the history of China, it was almost the Han Dynasty when the Red Sea in Africa was recorded, but after accepting the memory of the original owner, he was surprised to find that he was actually an innocent Oriental, but the father and mother of the original owner were all slaves who were sold here, and they were arranged together by the master to form a family at the right age, and it didn't matter if love or good feelings, they were just loyal to every command of the master. However, this loyalty was rewarded with a reward for their master, Ceci, who allowed their only son to study with his own child, Immorton.
Because of his pure Oriental blood, the original owner was thinner than the average person, and therefore very unliked by Immorton, and the children of the other slaves were jealous of his good fortune and did not want to play with him, and the original owner's temperament became more and more silent as time went by, but this child had an amazing talent for art, and when he was a child, other children were purely playing with mud, but this child had begun to build his city out of sand and water.
originally wanted to train the boy to be Immorton's personal assistant, but Ceci regretted to find that the two children did not develop as he imagined, but he chose a lot of slaves of the same age for Immorton, and these people were able to become his soldiers in the end, so he also had a dispensable attitude towards the original owner.
And Seci's attitude directly affected the people around him, and gradually the teachers who taught the children began to ignore the child, and the children who had been jealous of him before laughed at him and bullied him, they often teased him, and even locked him in the storeroom used to pile stones in the back house, although in the eyes of adults, the room was only used for miscellaneous objects and a piece of discarded stone. But what place is enough for a small child to imagine a qiē in the darkness as a terrifying monster in legend.
The skinny little child curled up in a ball in the dark room, and he didn't even dare to cry out loud, for fear that he would disturb the monster in the dark, and when he was tired of crying and fell asleep, no one would want to come to him.
Although Immorton doesn't like the original owner very much, the original owner is also a little follower who grew up with him, but now that the little follower is gone, he feels that he still needs to look for it.
When he found the storeroom locked by the big lock, ordered the servant to smash the lock open, and saw the little boy sleeping against a stone, Immorton seemed to understand what a weak chicken his little servant was, and after that he warned everyone around him so that they would not dare to bully him again.
It was also from that time that the original owner shifted all his attention to the stones, and the memories of his youth finally had a huge impact on him, when he was so desperate that he could only cry powerlessly, it was these cold and even ugly stones around him that accompanied him, he relied on them and even worshipped them, and during a sacrifice of the sun god he saw the strange stone carvings carved in the temple, and finally made up his mind to learn to carve them, in the eyes of the little child who always lived in his own world, All the stones in the world are alive, and when he learned to carve them, he found the best way to communicate with his friends with these stones.
And the original owner is indeed very talented in carving, in the not too short and not too long eight years, he grew from an unknown child to a famous young sculptor in Thebes, and Ceci after learning about the growth of the original owner, this benevolent and forward-looking owner gave the original owner a lot of help, and it can even be said that when the child started at the beginning, even his parents did not support, he generously allowed the other party's obsession with stone carving, and was willing to let him learn from an old craftsman, After the original owner showed his prominence, although Secy did not give the original owner a free body, he was still allowed to wander outside for a long time, and only used to complete a certain carving task for the Seci family every year, and this time the original owner came out to find inspiration.
"Carving, I really haven't touched it yet." Ah Zhai sat up, stretched out his hands and looked at his palms, this is a pair of hands that are not good-looking and can even be called scarred, although the fingers are slender, but the ten fingers are full of thick calluses, and there are even various knife marks left all year round, some although the scars are very light but very early, I think it was left when I first learned to carve, Ah Zhai looked quietly and his heart was full of admiration.
"Hey, aren't you going to go through the plot anymore?" The boat under him swayed, the sun quickly lost the last trace of afterglow, one by one stars slowly appeared on the canopy, this is an almost inky dark blue, vast and warm, Ah Zhai opened a big package brought out by the original owner from the tail of the canoe, took out a fine wool felt from it and covered his body, put his hands on the back of his head, and stared at the sky intently.
"Such a beautiful and comfortable environment, naturally you have to take a good look to live up to it." The night breeze gently brushed the boy's half-length hair, with the smell of fresh reed leaves and reed flowers, and he listened quietly to the occasional sound of water fowl flapping their wings in the reeds, and Ah Zhai slowly fell asleep in such a gentle sound of water.
What he didn't know was that someone in the city of Thebes, thousands of miles away, had been awakened from a dream.
