"Are you awake?"

The guy with a rough voice said on the side, rubbing his hands together in excitement or anxiety: "I...... I'm worried about ......"

"It's okay." I sat up slowly, and the man was covered with a very rich, dirty, tattered cloak: "I will not die. ”

The big man didn't seem to know what to say, and crouched to the side in silence. Even when he was crouching, he was about the height of an adult standing.

Jin was lying beside me, looking wilted and unrefreshed.

Are you sad? Goldie?

Why don't I feel bad?

I was just...... I really want to, I really want to do something.

Something that should be done.

"Immorton ...... How is he now? ”

"I've put up the ice again," he said......

I was silent, and then, after a while, asked him, "Are you...... Who is it? ”

I vaguely had the impression that I had asked this question, but his reaction was strange.

"My name...... Before, no one had asked ......"

"Really?"

"Hmm!" The big head nodded heavily: "I...... It's called Andos. My name is Andos. Andos. ”

I nodded: "Thank you for helping me, my name is ...... Elsis. ”

"Are you also from Egypt?" He asked.

"Yes...... I am from the same place as him. ”

He rubbed his hands together, and it seemed that this was a small gesture that he would definitely do when he was uneasy.

"Thank you, really...... Andos, thank you for everything. I whispered, "Tell me, please, how did he die?" ”

"I, I don't know ...... either," he stumbled at such a pace that it was easy to think he was lying. However, his eyes looked ...... Honest.

"He had been gone for a long time, and when he came back, he was very embarrassed, and he said that he had caused some trouble, and that he had to leave as soon as possible. I was a little reluctant, and for a long time, I had only spoken to him intermittently, and he brought me wine, and other very good things...... This time, when he came, he was already very weak, and he had a large sword wound on his back, and I don't know who stabbed it...... Before he could say it, he was already ......"

"How did you meet?" I interjected.

"I like it...... Listening to the singing of the temple, he once went and was found by him......"

I looked up: "Can you go out?" ”

"No," said Andos gloomily, "I never ...... Ever left here. However, this dungeon is so large that it can be reached almost the entire island. I could, from here, to another place, but not to be seen. ”

I heard my own voice and whispered, "Don't you want to go to the ground?" ”

"What?"

Andos stood up suddenly, but luckily the roof of the cave was high enough, otherwise he might have broken his head.

"Do you want to live under the sun? Socialize with others, talk to people, meet a lot of people, go where you want to go, do what you want to do......"

He suddenly deflated and squatted down again: "I can't get out...... I'm a, monster. ”

"Nonsense, who told you that?"

He was silent for a long time and said, "My mother ......"

I suddenly remembered something: "Your mother, is it Her Majesty the Queen Mother?" ”

He nodded.

"What she said must be right?"

"But I and others ...... Not the same ......"

"Yes," I said, "it's not quite the same." ”

He looked like he wanted to shrink himself up, and his shoulders collapsed.

"You're kinder and braver." I said, "Your brother Minos, he is nothing like you." ”

"No, but ......" Although my words subverted his long-standing cognition, but anyone who has been disappointed for too long, if there is a little hope, he will not let go, hoping to hold on firmly.

"Actually, if you hadn't been hidden by the Queen Mother at the beginning, but had just let you appear in front of people as a god son and heir, no one would have told you that you were a monster. They will say that you are worthy of being a son of God, that you are gifted, that you should be different, that you are right......"

"Huh?" Andos is gone.

"That's right, as long as the first person says yes, the second person will naturally say yes, this is human nature." I said, "It's a pity that you were mistaken." ”

"Why? Then, why did she ...... the queen mother?"

Andos is definitely not without resentment in his heart, but his resentment has been suppressed for a long time.

"Andos, in fact, you may not be completely unfortunate here, the outside world is also very cruel." I smiled wryly and hugged my knees, and Andos, not looking at the big man, picked up the dirty cloak and put it on me very carefully.

"My mother, who died in vain. My brother's mother, poisoned by the Assassins, died after a long time. Our father also died under poisoned wine, and none of the people around us can believe that everyone, who may be enemies, will kill you...... My brother and I get along well, but that's because our interests are aligned, and if I threaten his royal power, he will not show mercy to me. Andos, your brother doesn't know you exist. What do you think he would do to you if he knew? And the Queen Mother, was she hiding you at that time just to save your life? Or is it for herself? For the sake of the throne, there are examples of relatives killing each other, but there are always and everywhere. ”

"No, Minos, he won't...... My mother, she is very good to me! Andos said in a loud voice, "These things, the beads that can be illuminated, the treasures of this underground palace, they are all mine, she ......"

"These beads, these treasures, are not brought with them in life, and they are not brought with them in death. If you don't put it here, you can put it anywhere else just as quietly. I said, "I have not seen him, King Minos, so I don't know ......" I let him digest it quietly, and then said, "Andos, can you get me out of here?" ”

"You, you're leaving!"

"I've been missing for so long, and my companions who came with me will be very worried about me."

"But, but ......"

I said, "I'll be back, Immorton is still here, you're here." I said, "I have to come back and pick him up and take him back to Egypt...... I want to help you too, if you want, to get back to the ground, you helped Immorton and you helped me, I am very grateful to you and I would love to repay you. ”

"No, no, I don't want anything in return." He said, "I...... I just, I haven't spoken to anyone in a long time. You, you're really beautiful, and, just as he said......"

Is it?

I felt as if a needle had been pricked at the tip of my heart, and almost my whole heart was clenched tightly in pain.

But the next moment, I said, "You are also very good, Andos, if you live elsewhere, there will be many girls who look up to you, and you will have true love like Immorton." ”

"Me?" He muttered to himself, "Can I?" She said, I'm a monster, others will be afraid of me, I'll be killed, so I can only hide......"

"Maybe the Queen Mother really wants to protect you, after all, she is a mother, you see that she takes very good care of King Minos, he doesn't have to do such a tiring thing as government affairs, it is all up to the Queen Mother to decide, she is a very wise and strong mother." I leaned against the wall and slowly got up, and Xiao Jin automatically swam back and coiled in my hand: "Andos, Immorton still wants to trouble you to take care of it...... Now, can you send me back? I lived in a post house on the west side of the palace. ”

"Well," he said, "I will give you your wounds...... I got it, it's not good, you have to go back to heal your injuries......" He turned in front of me and bowed down: "Come up, I'll carry you over." ”

My physical condition is really not good, Andos's back is flat and wide, and the muscles are elastic and solid, full of strength.

He was extremely fast, and in this dark underground, he could almost make out the way without his eyes like a bat, and he was really very familiar with this underground palace, and he did not hesitate to decide on the direction.

After only about ten minutes, Andos stopped, turned his head slightly, and his voice was very low, which should have been as soft as possible for him: "There is an upward shaft that communicates with a small temple behind the inn, and it is enough to move the idol when you go up." ”

Without waiting for me to speak, he said, "If you can't use your arm, I'll help you." ”

He lifted me up, pushed me off the stone wall, and then grabbed the stone on the wall and climbed up.

When he pushed the statue away, and I saw the light again, the golden red of the setting sun made me close my eyes all at once, and tears welled up wildly.

Everything that is under the earth is like ...... A nightmare.

But if it's really a dream, that's fine.

"You, take care." Andos's face was hidden in the darkness, and there was nostalgia in his tone, which I could hear even if I was dull, and then he suddenly stuffed something to me: "This is for you, and you can use it when you come back." ”

He lifted his hand and pulled the stone statue and jumped down.

I looked at the bead in my hand, which was used to illuminate the ground.
