The Aegean Sea was foggy and blank.
"We're almost there." The Minoan messenger was very kind to us, and gave us priority water, food, and spacious cabins.
I held back the veil that was blown up by the wind, turned back and said, "It's been a hard journey, thank you for taking care of me." β
"Ahh The priests and medical officers have come across the sea to Minoa to treat our king, and we are only petty care. After going to the island today, please rest and tidy up, and wait until tomorrow morning, and my king and queen mother should be summoned. The Minoan envoy was modest: "Ah, you can pay attention, we will see the statue of our Minoa Vulcan in front of you." β
I turned my head, but I still couldn't see anything.
But then, a mountain cliff appeared in my field of vision as if it had suddenly jumped out of the fog.
The people who had been scattered on the deck spotted it and screamed and leaned over to the side of the ship.
The cliff is so steep that you can faintly see the silhouette of a person.
The Minoan messenger proudly said, "That's the great statue of the god of fire." β
The dark shadows are getting clearer and clearer.
Oh, this ......
This is the first of the twelve gods of Olympus in Greek mythology...... Zeus?
Some like, however, the details are slightly different.
After the mysterious demise of the legendary Minoa in the long course of history, Greece quietly rose. Is there really an inseparable causal relationship between the two?
In normal times, I may still be in the mood to take a closer look at the customs, architecture, and cultural aspects of Minoa on the island. But now I was not interested at all, and the other female musician was very excited, and ran to ask the medical officer if she could go out and buy something and bring it back to the other musicians in the temple. The doctor hesitated a little, I didn't look at him, and finally the doctor said, yes, but he had to come back before dark.
The female musician's name was Rabia, and she was not very old, she looked like she was in her twenties. But I've never been in contact with people and things outside in the temple, so it's a bit too naΓ―ve.
I took only the servants of Unas and Immorton out of the inn.
"The priests of Minoa were often concentrated in this temple on the east side of the palace...... In the past, adults were here. He whispered, gesturing to the east side of the temple, "We lived there then. β
I nodded, and walked slowly past the temple.
Minoa looks very prosperous, and the people who come and go dress with its unique flavor. I followed the servant who had led the way, and walked forward with my head down.
"Ahead is ......"
The servant's voice stopped suddenly. I looked up, and he looked up and pointed to the room in front of me, if it could be called a house.
There was only a charred ruin, where someone was clearing the rubble.
I was stunned, and Unas whispered two orders, and the servant went up to inquire about the situation, and I listened from afar, and the intermittent words broke out in the night, and the whole family burned to death in it.
Was it an accident? Is it intentional? Does this outstanding fire have anything to do with the matter of Immorton?
Is the medical officer's entire family really in flames?
I had a myriad of thoughts before I came, and I could pry the truth out of the doctor's mouth.
But...... Now where do I find the clues?
I stood in front of the ruins in a daze, anxious on the way here, but now looking at this piece of scorched earth, I only felt that a large piece of my heart had been dug up, empty, and indescribably uncomfortable.
I didn't believe Imorton was ......
But now that I saw the scene in front of me, I suddenly touched the real, the cruel meaning. Blood and death rushed to my eyes at once, and I suddenly became terrified, Immorton was likely, really ......
Unas whispered beside me, "Let's go back first, and then inquire about other news slowly, which always raises suspicions here." β
I looked at him blankly, and Unas lowered his head and reached out to help me walk back. Immorton's servant walked behind us in a somewhat dejected state, and when the three of them returned to their lodgings, it was already dark, and Kadanya, the medical officer who had come with us, was anxiously walking around the house.
"What's wrong?" I asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Ah, you're back......," he lowered his voice and said quickly, "There is news from the palace of the King of Minoa, saying that the King of Minoa is seriously ill again, and I am afraid that I will not have to wait until tomorrow morning to enter the palace to see him." β
"You don't have to panic, Minoa invited us to come because Pharaoh gave us permission, and Minoa had to think about this. Even if you can't cure the disease, you won't get into trouble if you think about it. β
"However, I have heard that one of the most famous medical officers in Minoa was because he ......" he lowered his voice, "because he could not cure the king's illness, he caused the disaster of death." β
I turned my head slowly: "Who did you listen to this news?" β
"Two medical officers came just now, and when the two of them were in the courtyard, they whispered, I can understand some of Minoa's words, and the meaning is probably not wrong. That medical officer is said to be very good at medicine and has a very high status, but because this time King Minoa's illness could not be cured for a long time, so he ...... It is said that his house was on fire, but many people have guessed why no one escaped from the fire, and there must be a reason why they could not escape. They were all panicking, guessing that maybe the Queen Mother sent someone...... under the hand. β
"It's unconscionable to kill whole families because they can't cure a disease." I said, "I really want to vent my anger, killing one doctor is enough, why kill his whole family?" β
There must be something else in between.
It will take a certain amount of time for the fire to burn, and looking at the style and layout of the doctor's original house, this time should be enough for them to call for help and escape. But no one called for help, and no one escaped......
It's not a fire! Definitely not!
But now there are no clues, and the medical officer's family is dead.
So what connection would the person who killed the medical officer, or the force, have anything to do with Immorton's mysterious disappearance?
