Chapter 7 Flowers Blooming in the Dry
The frontier of Zeta is deserted, and for hundreds of years, only wind and sand have been used as a companion.
The hungry slaves who came one after another established towns on this small Gobi.
They have no one to rely on, and in a distant exile, they have carved out their home.
Gradually, it became a place of settlement.
Poor mountains and bad waters, out of the people.
Travelers to and from Zeta, as long as they pass through the town, must not be skinned.
Officials have noticed the business opportunities in this small place, and although Zeta is now an enemy of the world, the secret trade has not stopped.
Therefore, this frontier land is used as a small gray area for Zeta to communicate with the outside world, and many stowaways inevitably pass through here, and Su Ling's identity is one of them, and only in this way can it not be noticed.
However, even in such a chaotic zone, there are managers.
This person is Mino.
In Zeta, the ancient and barbaric caste system is also practised.
From birth, what you can do, your future status, has been written on the tablet thousands of years ago.
Hard work cannot change your fate, it can only give you more comfort on the road to death.
From the highest violet to the lowest kennel, the gap between each caste is greater than that of people and dogs.
Kennel, can only be a farmer, do some primitive production labor of repairing clothes and weaving, can not do business, can not have a decent identity, see Zinaluo, is to kneel, meet on the road, must stand aside, even if the child is about to be born, have to wait for Zinaro to go ahead of him.
Zinaluo, who is responsible for sacrifices, prayers, chanting and other idle work, they are princes and nobles, noble blood, they don't even need to do anything, every day they sleep, someone will come to give treasures.
As Zinara, Mino should have enjoyed himself in the palace leisurely, but he took the initiative to come to this frontier land because he was "like a flower".
Ruhua is Suanna's stage name.
This girl from the kennel has a dream that belongs to Zinaro.
When she was very young, she went into the city with her father to sell things, and was fortunate enough to see the dance of the priest at the sacrificial ceremony.
A dance dedicated to the gods, but conquered mortals.
Countless people bowed down under the sacrificial pomegranate skirts, and she smiled at the handsome princes, concentrating on dancing to the gods for the richness of the desert.
Worshipped by everyone, favored by the gods, just dancing well......
Sana thought to herself, she could do it herself.
She wanted to dance in the desert, to be the dancer of all eyes, to perform her dance for the gods.
For a girl from a kennel, she couldn't imagine more, such as how many handsome men knelt at her feet after the sacrifice returned, how many treasures were offered, and just the reverent gaze of others made Sana unforgettable.
When the ritual was over and she was about to go back, the girl gritted her teeth and made a bold decision.
She quietly left her father, exchanged the money from the sale of fruit for a beautiful set of clothes, put on makeup, and sneaked into the temple dancer team to learn dance.
Strangely, no one noticed her, because she was so beautiful and moving, and no one would think that this new sacrificial girl was a kennel, even if she had a mediocre temperament.
Soon, she began to make a name for herself.
She used her hard work to fulfill her talent, and at the annual desert sacrifice, she firmly grasped the eyes of countless princes with a song of shock.
People call her "like a flower", which means a beautiful woman like a flower, and in Zeta, flowers are a rare thing to see, and it also symbolizes that such a beauty is rare in a hundred years.
Even Menes, who had just taken office at that time, came to watch her dance and bluntly said "I like this child".
As we all know, Her Majesty's orientation is a bit problematic.
Just when everyone thought that Sana was going to soar, an accident happened.
The sacrifice that amazed the girl back then has now become her mentor, hoping that she can become the next saint of the desert in exchange for the favor of the gods.
Just when the future was bright, Suanna's identity was revealed, and the priest recognized Suanna as the kennel girl back then, and she always remembered the yearning eyes of the pariahs.
The kennel disguised as a shamaya to infiltrate the temple should be punished with death.
Eventually, the queen forgave her sins and banished her to the Frontier.
Soon, the yellow sand buried people's memories, and more beautiful dancers took people's attention, like flowers that have been forgotten.
The girl's dream was shattered, she could only live in this small town, cheating money in a dirty way, but fortunately she never gave up the bottom line, and in this ugly desert, she always had a beautiful dream in her heart.
Although people have forgotten her, some people remember.
That's Mino.
The crown prince of Zinara was so fascinated by the flower-like dance and beauty that he even condescended to serve as a manager in this frontier land, just to win the hearts of beauties.
He said to Ruhua's father, "As long as your daughter marries me, she will become a purple naro, and so will our children."
Yes, in Zeta, there are only two situations when you want to move up the caste.
The first is that when a woman marries a man from a high caste, their descendants will change their humble origins and become high nobles, and they will enjoy prostration and worship when they are born.
However, Suona knows that he doesn't love himself at all, and maybe if he marries into a wealthy family, he will become a prisoner, put on the shelf, and used as a tool to vent.
She didn't dare to refuse, she just hung on the other party.
Mino is not in a hurry, he believes that sooner or later Sana will succumb to the pressure of reality.
Because the second way of promotion is simply impossible for her to achieve.
It takes tens of millions of dollars to be promoted to a caste.
The higher the caste, the more money is needed.
Over the years, Kaleu didn't know how much money he had cheated in order to realize his daughter's dream, but compared to the cost of promotion, it was only a drop in the bucket.
And with Mino, they want to be promoted just wishful thinking, and when the formalities are at the juncture, they can be stuck.
So Mino has already regarded Sana as his own thing, no matter how much she laughs now, she will be exclusive to herself in the end, and he is not in a hurry at all.
But, today this guy is a little different.
Su Ling is not only very strong, but also very rich, he can marry Suona.
The most important thing is that Sana actually spoke for an outsider.
This is amazing, the goddess in my mind in the past has never had a good color for any man, and even if there is, it is just pretending.
Therefore, after hearing these reports from his subordinates, he rushed over to confirm the authenticity as soon as possible.
Sure enough, Suanna's eyes were much clearer when she looked at Su Ling than at herself, as if she could take off her disguise with peace of mind in front of this person.
This made Mino unbearable, he looked at Su Ling with cold eyes, and the words spit out from the corner of his mouth were as cold and hard as ice cubes:
"So you should understand that only I can change her fate, you will only harm her, now, leave her obediently!"
