The assassin's body fell to the ground with two more swords on his back.
One is Sinuye's, whose sword I know, with a wider hilt. One was Unas's, his sword was thin, but sharper.
But I wasn't looking at corpses underground, or anything else.
"Sister, are you alright?"
"It's fine." I turned my head, and Sinouye was still in the position of taking his sword out of his hand, as if he had not recovered from the shock he had just had. Unas had already taken two big strides and ran to me: "Your Majesty Pharaoh, Your Majesty Isis, just now the guards outside also caught three spies, one of whom is alive. ”
Memphis's eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let'...... first"
"Memphis!"
Memphis had just shielded me, but now that he raised his hand, I saw that the back of his hand had been cut by the Assassin's dagger!
The Assassins' swords were quenched, and often the most powerful poison they could come up with! I just felt like a basin of cold water was poured on my head, and my whole body froze there.
Memphis was injured...... No, no, this little injury is not the point, Memphis he was poisoned! He was poisoned......
"Call the medical officer......" I said was interrupted by Memphis loudly: "Please go back and rest first, and there will be a celebration tomorrow!" ”
The men were watched by the guards and slowly retreated, wondering if there were any other Assassins among them. I couldn't care about that much, I felt like my chest was spilling hot oil, whether or not anyone had left the hall, I hurriedly took Memphis's hand.
The wound was slightly red, and it didn't seem to be highly poisonous. I hurriedly asked Kim to swim over and take drugs for Mephis. Xiao Jin was also very unambiguous, and he grabbed the flesh of Memphis and sucked it hard, it seemed that he not only wanted to suck the poisonous blood, but also wanted to lose weight for Memphis and bite off a few pieces of his meat.
"It's okay, I don't think it's that serious, it's just a small mouth."
"Nonsense!" I still can't rest assured, although the problem of looking at Xiao Jin's appearance is not serious: "If Xiao Jin can't deal with the poison they smeared on the sword, I see if you can still pretend to be tough here." ”
"Well, in fact, before I came to the banquet, I had already asked the medical officer to prepare some detoxifying herbs for me to drink, which would be of some use. It's just that these assassins are too bold! ”
"Because this is a great opportunity to shake the blow against Egypt, and those countries and tribes will certainly not let it go. If it were me, I would have been more ruthless than these people. ”
The medical officer came over, looked at Memphis's hand, and made sure that the poison was not very powerful, and although it was poisonous, it was slow to act. Moreover, Memphis's wound is very shallow and small, and the toxins have almost been discharged now, so apply ointment and drink more detoxifying decoction, and he will be fine in a few days.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. ”
But as soon as I relaxed, Memphis's face changed, and he grabbed my hand tightly: "Sister, you can explain to me well, what is going on with that letter, right?" ”
I was stunned for a moment...... Uh, that's a question that seems to ...... It's too complicated, it's too hard to explain......
Actually, what Memphis needed was not my explanation at all. The reason for my departure is very clear in the letter. Egypt did not need two kings, and he had grown up and was not a child who needed to be cared for and protected. What's more, both of us know in our hearts that the other has something else to love. When Immorton didn't come back, I could still let myself go on numb like this, just ...... He is a person who has no heart. But now it is different, Immorton has returned, and he can continue to exist in this world now by my love for him. How can I continue to stay with Memphis as if nothing happened?
"Good ...... We'll talk about that later. "I lowered my voice, there are so many guards here, and Idhombu hasn't left yet, so it's really not appropriate to discuss this at this time. And I don't want to explain any more.
Actually, it was the most convenient way for me to walk away just now, but now that I am being grabbed by Mephis, I am afraid that there is no good way to get out. It's not that I can't do it, it's just ...... I don't want to disappoint him too much.
A guard came over in a panic to report, panting and breathless: "Your Majesty Pharaoh, Miss Carole, she, she ......"
"What's wrong with her?"
"She's missing!"
Memphis's face changed with a smack. I sighed inwardly. Is this kid still deceiving himself? He was obviously different to Carol, but he still desperately told himself that he should be with me.
It stands to reason that Memphis is not wrong. It's just that most of the time, it should be the same thing, but people's hearts are not something they can control.
"Don't worry, someone kidnapped her just now, but Imorton met her, so he intercepted her. She's safe now, you don't have to worry. ”
When it comes to Carol, Memphis isn't as bold as he was just now.
"Sister, you know, I don't actually have a ...... for her."
"If you like her, just admit it generously, and I don't need to stop you." I couldn't laugh or cry, why should I convince him and tell him that you should like Carol, and that you are not in the wrong mood.
Yes, it's not a mistake to like someone, it just depends on whether there's anything wrong with what you're doing.
Take Carol as an example, I have no objection to Memphis wanting to be with her, but this girl's temper and Memphis's way of doing it have to be changed.
"Then ...... she now," Memphis said, "where is Immorton and her?" ”
"It's not far outside." I thought that the guards had filtered through the palace through a sieve, and had found three Assassins, but not Immorton and Carol, indicating that he had been well hidden.
But I have a way to get him out.
I walked to the side of the terrace and took out the flute that I hadn't played in a long time.
That's what counts...... A token between me and Immorton, right?
I put the flute to my lips, tried it with two notes, and then with a little luck, I played a very short tune. The night sky was far away, and the sound of the flute came out far away. There was a deep understanding between Immorton and me, and he knew that I was calling him here.
I don't know why I put the flute down, but I suddenly remembered the summoned beast in the fantasy novel...... What a place to be. But it really feels like it.
And I had almost just put down the flute, and on the somewhat hazy palace road reflected by the light of the copper lamp, the figure I was familiar with appeared.
His figure was erratic and charming, and his black robe rolled and undulated, almost ...... It's like the appearance of the villain boss in the movie.
"Immorton, here!"
Most people don't know that he ever ...... Died once, so Immorton didn't cause much commotion when he appeared in front of people. As for the guards beside Mephis, they had already seen him once, and I don't know what conjectures they had in their hearts, but in short, no one showed any particularly strong reactions.
Immorton still had Carol on her shoulders, and the girl had not yet woken up, her blonde hair hanging down like waves. I turned my head to take a closer look at Memphis's expression. He looked very defensive.
Yes, not everyone understands and accepts the idea of resurrection, even the Egyptians, who have always practiced this idea. Ye Gong is a good dragon, this kind of character, most people have it.
Also, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Unas standing aside. His sword was still undrawn from the assassin's body, but one hand was pressed to his chest, the other was clenched into a fist, and the aggressive body language was intense...... I see it very clearly.
I want to sigh.
There are many things in this world, and not one is one and two are two. For example, people's feelings......
I am grateful to him and feel sorry for him. But I couldn't give him the same response.
"Carol was taken down*, and his life is not in danger, but he has not woken up now."
I motioned for Immorton to return Carol to Memphis as I tried to walk over to him.
But as soon as my arm tightened, Memphis grabbed me, very hard, and refused to let go.
"Memphis."
I whispered his name, many words were not spoken, but this call included everything.
