Fifty-third Sura Covenant
One by one, the heavy stone doors opened, and the two of them walked out of the stone chamber, through the corridor they had never seen before, and soon came to the outside of the half-collapsed walls of the Dust Hall.
Half of the dark red sun had sunk into the sea of sand, the gale was cooling down, and the crescent moon watched the two men in the dim sky.
When training in Lyra's psionic abilities, it is difficult to feel the flow of time accurately, sometimes a day seems like years, and sometimes it seems like a flick of a finger. Every time he walked out of the dust hall, the young man felt like a world away, a sea of vicissitudes.
Aisha took Muhadi's hand and walked briskly on the sand. I don't know why, the sand on this side of the hall is so fine and deep that you can almost sink into your knees when you step on it, and even if both of them are wearing boots, there will still be sand leaking into the boots.
"What's the matter?" Muhadi raised an eyebrow when Aisha finally stopped, "I tried to contact you after the breakup that day, but I couldn't find a caravan to talk about your tribe, and some of them hadn't even heard of it. ”
Aisha shook her head, "Leave this alone. ”
She shifted back and forth, bit her lip, and made up her mind before she spoke, "Muhadi, what I promised you before...... Subject to change?"
"What?" Muhati blinked, and then immediately understood that she was referring to the invitation she had invited to defect to the Elven Tribe. "What's going on? Something's changed. Still, the boy was not disappointed, for he would soon be able to go to Tyre, and then he would no longer be a slave. You can't break your oath in order to be a little bit early.
"I know I've let you down, Muhadi......" Aisha said in a low voice, "but trust me, I've tried......"
The girl turned her head away to prevent Muhathir from seeing her expression, and the latter, who did not know how to deal with the situation, only patted the other man on the shoulder. "I believe in you. Actually, I can think of some other way, anyway, I won't be a slave in the Scorpion tribe all the time. ”
Aisha explained bitterly, "Originally, the chief had agreed to admit you to join us. As a result, he listened to the rumors of the foot-traders, and repented. It's really not my fault. ”
"What rumors?" asked Muhadi, speculating. "Is it related to the recent harvest of the Scorpion tribe?"
Aisha nodded, "Everyone said that the Scorpion tribe had unearthed artifacts left over from the ancients, so the Ruling Council of Tyre had to kneel down and beg the Abiad chief to ally with them. It is said that Tyr also had to sacrifice a large number of valuable metal weapons to appease the scorpions so that they would not be sacked by the city. ”
How can it be so exaggerated, Muhathir thought to himself. "It's all ignorant people who are spreading falsehoods, like a mirage. "Speaking of ancient ruins, how can there be any artifacts? It is estimated that the chief Abiad is spreading rumors to scare his opponents, or Fahd, who has been planning to attack the surrounding tribes.
Aisha looked at Muhadi with blue eyes, "I think so too...... But...... But the people of the tribe did not dare to risk making enemies of the Scorpio at this time. She bit her lip and said, "I've tried, but I've only been able to grieve you stay among those elven barbarians for a little longer." ”
"Actually......" Muhati hesitated, but chose to admit calmly, "in half a month, I will go to Tyre, which I won from the tribe." ”
"How could they be relieved to let you go to Tyre......" Aisha was a little incredulous, and then suddenly turned to surprise, "Wait...... Didn't Tyr abolish slavery?, what about you?!"
"There are a thousand ways to get me out of this identity in Tyre. The boy smiled self-deprecatingly and nodded in acknowledgement, "I just need to wait a little longer." ”
Aisha was a little excited, but the muscles on her face twitched strangely, making her expression very strange. When a beautiful girl suddenly made such a strange face in front of her eyes, Muhati couldn't help but ask with concern: "How are you? ”
"Heavenly ...... Lyra's Training! I ...... No...... Control yourself!" she said hurriedly, her breath unsteady.
It seems that this is the result of Tianqin's previous transformation of the two, and the psychological stereotype (or ideological seal) she has created makes people unable to feel too happy or satisfied. The feeling of hunger and loss in the soul will instantly come over and neutralize the excitement and joy.
Aisha cared about herself so much, and Muhathir was a little moved, even Lyra's training could not erase it all. The boy stepped forward and hugged the other's shoulders until the girl calmed down.
After a long time, Aisha asked in a somewhat puzzled tone. "Why?"
"What?"
"Why did you promise Lyra to make such a transformation of yourself?" the girl asked, "why would you like to turn yourself into a monster?"
"This ......" Muhathir himself could not give a good reason, and the reason why he agreed was that he was driven by an unconscious impulse to seek power. Maybe I was affected by the illusion I had before, and I didn't want to go with the flow. Or maybe...... Muhadi thought in disgust, the remnants of consciousness of the former owner of his body were at work, and this time was the same, and the same was the time when the unknown psionic power was displayed in the hive before.
“...... Didn't you agree to the transformation?" Muhati had to reply.
"I agree because you agreed!" replied Aisha fiercely. "Do you want to be a monster by yourself?"
Muhadi did not expect that Aisha would choose to accept the transformation of Lyra for this reason. Before he could prepare the right words to reply, the girl threw another thunderbolt.
"You're going to Tyre...... Then I'm going too. She said firmly.
"You're not going to welcome me, are you?"
Muhadi denied it again and again, saying that he was absolutely happy to act with Aisha, but he was a little puzzled. "I'm on my way to Tyre as one of the envoys of the Scorpion tribe, how are you going?
Hearing that he was one of the envoys, Aisha frowned slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I'm a free man, and I can go wherever I want, without the approval of the chief or anyone else. You've never been to the city, and you don't know the rules. Outsiders will be deceived. ”
"Anyway, wait until the next psionic training is over. I'll go to Tyre too, and we'll meet on the way. Aisha assured him.
"It's a deal. ”
"It's a deal. ”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tyre, one of the most heard place names since Muhadi crossed is this. It is the pearl of the desert, the focal point of Atas now. Its streets are filled with travelers and tourists, jugglers and begging children. Enchanting incense permeates the city forever, and melodious music never stops.
What's more, in all of Attas, Tyre was the first to overthrow slavery and crush the rule of a witch king. This is the first time in thousands of years in the memory of all living creatures. Even Muhadi, after hearing about the revolution, was fond of Tyre. Because in this savage and violent world of Attas, it shows a little bit of idealism, which reminds him of his home earth.
There are the last two weeks and one more psionic training. The boy rode alone on the way back to the Scorpion tribe, whispering to himself in his heart. I'll be able to go there and be completely free.
Overhead, two rounds of crescent moons stared wordlessly at the vast sea of sand.
