The sun fell into the vast desert, and the night was like a huge silk veil, gently covering the entire field of vision.
When we came up from the river, the upper half of my dress was fine, but the lower half of my body was splashed, and as soon as the sun went down, the wind cooled down, and my clothes stuck to my body, and the wind blew and shivered.
Strange, Immorton's body, why, there is no water?
The two of us went ashore, and the slave girls had already come together, they did not know that Immorton had passed away, and they did not feel afraid to see him, and one of the palace maids said, "Your Majesty, change your wet clothes, for it is cool at night." "Yes, the water on my body quickly accumulated at my feet. And Immorton, who took me by the hand and walked ashore, was not wet.
I don't know why I suddenly remembered Liaozhai, and my hand holding Immorton tightened.
He is real, not some ghost.
I don't think about the question of why he didn't get wet, in short, there is more than one thing I don't understand, and the most important thing is that he is back.
It doesn't matter if he's a monster, a zombie, or a ghost.
In short, he is still him.
Memphis watched from the side, his eyes twinkled. I knew what he was thinking, his hand was still tightly clasped on the hilt of his sword, his eyes were fixed on Immorton, and his mouth said, "Sister, you go and change your clothes, me and him...... There is something to say. ”
"You'd better look after your own business first." I gestured in the direction of Kelroll, and then said, "Immorton, you come with me." ”
He greeted Memphis gracefully and followed me.
When the Nile River is at high water, the sound of rushing water fills people's ears.
Tasha, who knew that Immorton was dead, came out of the temple with a clay tray containing grapes and melons, which was all shattered and fell to the ground with a bang, and the man stood there stunned, his face as white as earth, and his hands and feet trembled.
"Help Mrs. go down to rest, I'm too tired today."
The slave girls next to her were also nervous, they weren't afraid of Immorton. They were afraid that Tasha would break things on this happy day, and even if she was of a high status, she would probably be punished.
"Tasha, you have a good rest and don't talk too much."
She couldn't answer at all, and the slave girls hurriedly swarmed her down.
The others came towards me, and I shook my head and said, "No need, I'll change it myself, you guys go down." ”
They slowly retreated, and I looked at a skirt that I had folded and placed on the side of the couch, but my footsteps did not move.
"You go and change, I won't leave."
Immorton knew what I was thinking, and he said, "Don't worry. ”
The voice of these three words is not high, but I can hear the seriousness and determination in them.
I nodded, walked over to pick up my dress, and went behind the curtain to change.
The lights were on outside, and the inner room behind the curtain was darker, and I could see him standing there through the curtain, a calm and quiet figure.
I felt inexplicably sourness and sadness, familiarity, that feeling of loss.
He's back, but I still don't feel real.
I hurriedly tied my belt, stood where I was, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and took the things next to the pillow and walked out.
Immorton stood there, slowly turning his head back to look at me, smiling slightly.
The smile was as calm, gentle, noble and kind as it was when I first met him.
It's just that it's more than then...... Such a deep love, in his eyes, is as calm and deep as a deep pool.
"You've lost weight." He said softly.
"You...... How did you get back? ”
I didn't ask, how did you come back from the dead, I don't want to mention that dead word.
He took my hand and kissed it lightly on his fingertips.
His lips are warm, and his touch is real.
But I think...... Inadequate.
I was afraid that the next moment I would wake up and find that it was just a dream.
"We ...... Sit down and talk. ”
I took out what I was holding: "I...... Found this in Minoa. ”
It was the flute, which I later thought was given to me by Immorton, and I accidentally did not remember where I left it, and it must have been Imorton who put it away and kept it with him. Then, when he secretly drew a map of Minoa's military port, he hid it in the middle of the flute to hide people's eyes, and it was really a common and inconspicuous thing to carry a wooden flute with him. Afterward...... He must have noticed that something had changed, so he hid the flute.
"With your cleverness, you can actually guess a lot of things, right?"
"I want to hear you tell me."
He nodded, "Okay." ”
"Your Majesty!"
I turned my head, and Tasha was standing outside the temple door, she was holding a tray and a water bottle, looking at me with a stiff and nervous expression, and then slowly walked over and bent her knees in front of us: "Your Majesty has been tired for a day, let's drink some water first, and the food will be served immediately." ”
Although her voice was calm, it was still faintly trembling.
My heart softened, knowing that she was not worried about me, and although I was afraid, I still insisted on coming over.
The fear of ghosts and gods in this era is extremely heavy and deep, and the depth of their belief in gods is the greater the fear of evil spirits. Even the most faithful slaves, the bravest warriors, and the closest family members had to be feared, had to be afraid.
"Tasha, you don't have to be afraid, and you don't have to tell anyone." I smiled and whispered, "Immorton is a great priest with magical powers, so he can go and come back, don't be afraid, and don't worry about me." ”
Tasha replied, "Yes." He put the water bottle down, his hand trembling slightly. She took the golden cup on the table and poured the water into it slowly, still daring to look at Immorton.
It's one thing to say it, it's another thing to say it.
How so? The Egyptians' expectation of the world after death, as well as eternal happiness, and the return of those who may have passed away one day, is just a kind of longing, to use an apt analogy, that is, Ye Gong is a good dragon. Although everyone says this and looks forward to it, but when I really see one who goes and comes, it is still like Ye Gong seeing a dragon.
I don't know how I can still think about this at this point, but maybe it will make my thinking a little more flexible and make myself a little more at ease.
"Well, you go and order the dinner."
Tasha put down the water bottle, saluted again, and slowly withdrew.
"I don't know if Memphis is gathering the people of the temple at this time, and it will be against you." I laughed, "He's sure he can do it." ”
"It doesn't matter." Immorton whispered, "I know the temple best. ”
"Yes."
I said this without saying more, raised a hand, gently touched his eyebrows, the bridge of his nose, and slowly drew his fingertips to his lips.
"It's good you're here."
"Yes, I'll never leave again."
I smiled wryly: "I know you mean it, but I don't know if I can believe it." Last time, you said you would come back to me and never leave me again. But...... But you broke your appointment. ”
"Never again."
We sat side by side, and although it was some distance from the river, the sound of the rising water could be faintly heard here.
"When I was in Minoa, I was always keeping an eye on their military strength. Minoa dominates the seas and is invincible, although there is no plan for Egypt for a while, but it may not be absent in the future. Even if the Queen Mother of Minoa herself did not want to make progress, it is possible that the Bitaidos, Assyrians, and even the Babylonians would be thinking of joining forces with them. It's just that I haven't had a clue before. Minoa Island and the Minoa Palace are almost completely undefended, and the navy patrols them in peacetime, but the location of the military port is top secret. I've spent a lot of time there, trying to find a way around me to try out all the big and small islands around. Oh, speaking of which, Grados of the Temple is the same idea as me. He was planted in Minoa by the Fineny, and after I learned his secret, I tried to search his secret room, and he had always wanted to find out about this greatest military secret, but he never got it. What he had discovered, combined with my results, had eliminated most of the islands. This time I said goodbye to you and went back, and when I saw the statue of the god of fire on the holy island, it suddenly occurred to me that although there is a fire on the island, there is always a danger of destruction erupting, but maybe the most unlikely place is the place we are looking for. ”
"So...... You, just go on an adventure? I closed my eyes: "Do you think Minoa's secret is worth it, and you will exchange your life?" ”
"Yes, it's not worth it. But your happiness is worth it. I hope I can help you, I hope you are safe and happy. ”
I have already guessed something, and when I hear him say it, I will never feel the same thing in my heart.
I turned my head, held back my tears about to burst the embankment, and whispered, "But when I knew, do you know what I was thinking?" I think I hurt you, not me, and you won't die......"
He hugged me from behind, his face resting on my shoulder.
"Don't cry, don't cry anymore, I'm back."
