A certain Medici was about to enter the tent at dusk returning from the border of the Lord's kingdom of God, and his face changed drastically when he saw the shoulder ornament of the right-hand man—his first reaction was that the little voyeur had been parasitized by a little crow. Thoth raised his hand, and Medici thought he was going to put a monocle on his right eye, and his anger suddenly rose in his heart - you must know that the naughty little crow had also thrown the Obsolete Worm on the members of the "War Red" before, but Thoth just patted the black ball lightly, and said something softly, and the little crow turned into a little boy, and rubbed his arms around Thoth's neck with his eyes closed, and his little ass arched into Thoth's bent arms.

Medici was shocked, Medici was silent, and Medici prayed to the Lord after much thought. The next day, Amon was recalled to the kingdom of God by the Creator, and Medici dragged him into the tent for a long talk before Thoth's mission.

Yes, chat. To accentuate the theme and create a relaxed atmosphere, Medici also placed a jug of wine, which Thoth choked on the first sip he took - although wine used to be a warm and courageous commodity when marching into battle, he had been dipped in flower tea and juice these days, and the high concentration of alcohol suddenly stabbed him in the throat.

"As much as I don't like to meddle in the private affairs of the fighters, I'm going to ask - you've been okay lately, have you?"

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"Of course it's the little crow with a bad personality and no resemblance to the Lord." Medici let out a sigh from his nose, "You don't know he's been a member of the War Red before, are you?" ”

"I really don't know......," Thoth tilted his head, "but I've seen Him parasitize other people, and I've educated Him." ”

The Creator had warned the Son of God not to harm men, for those were His anchors, and the Son of God did not harm them—only occasionally parasitized them out of curiosity.

"No, you can't."

"Huh? Why? The thief said, "I didn't hurt him, did I?" Not a single scratch. ”

"That's not okay either." The Prophet's usual gentle smile faded, "You took his place, the time he spent with his family for dinner, the time he spent fishing with his friends, the time he danced with the girls in the village, and he was trapped in his own body, and he could only watch it happen, and he was going to be scared to death." ”

"What's so terrible about this," continued the little fraudster's sophistry against the adult's skin, "I didn't let him put a knife to his throat or take on the dragon alone, I was just doing what he had to do every day. ”

Looking at the look of course on the parasitic body of Amun, Thoth realized for the first time that mythical creatures were different from humans, that they could be loving, benevolent, and protective gods, or they could be insensitive, indifferent, and playful monsters.

Humans should be frightened and disgusted by monsters, and he should have avoided the topic of an angelic king, and he would have respectfully distanced himself from him in the future.

But Thoth only took a slight breath in the end, and all those restless emotions were suppressed with this breath.

"Oxen plough the land every day, and donkeys have to grind every day, so can oxen and donkeys be the same as people?" Without waiting for Amun's answer, Thoth said, "Of course the answer is no, for if the ox does not plough the field, the farmer will whip it, and if the donkey does not pull the mill, the miller will not mind starving it—the domestic animals have no choice, they are only tools that can breathe." ”

"In the Age of Chaos, humans also had no choice, and they were no different from domestic animals. In order to survive, human beings can only hang their heads, bend their waists, kneel on the ground, and be slaves to the demon wolves and demons, and there is no other choice unless they have the courage to die......" The Master of Prophecy looked into the eyes of the Son of God impartially, and said without humility or arrogance, "until the omniscient and all-powerful Creator, that is, your father, awakens, and he leads mankind to take back not only land and food, but also the right to choose destiny from foreign races, so that people can become yeoman farmers, pearl divers, hunters, doctors, and bards......"

"Choice is the most precious gift that the gods have given to mankind. When you manipulate this man's body, you deprive him of the gift he deserves, against your father's original purpose. As he spoke, Thoth felt his throat a little dry, "Anyway...... It's not good, and it's ......."

"And?"

"And you're so cute, isn't it okay to show it generously? Why do you have to hide in an ordinary shell? ”

Thoth touched the monocle in the young man's right eye, "The monocle is such a unique sign, it is enough to appear on the face of the unique Angel of Time." ”

"Hmm......"

Perhaps because of the way it belongs, the angel can almost instinctively judge whether there are any loopholes in other people's words, that is, whether they are lying. He could feel it at this moment that so many words that Thoth said in one breath were not made up, but they made him feel subtle disobedience...... For example...... Not......

"All right, Amon, come out quickly—" Thoth touched the young man's head, "let's go have a snack together." ”

For example, the face is a little hot.

"That's it...... Uh, any questions? Mistress Medici? ”

Medici is silent, Medici is shocked, Medici's face is distorted.

"So you're the kid who is good at coaxing children?! I didn't see it at all! ”

"Because there are no children in the barracks to coax me!"

The vines with white flowers formed a spring-like tunnel, and the sunlight passed through the gaps between the leaves and the vines, scattered scattered piecemeal, and the son of God stepped on the ground of broken gold, and walked to the figure at the end of the tunnel, who leaned against a bitter orange tree at the end of the tunnel, as if in contemplation, as if sleeping. Just as the angel stole the distance and came to Him instantly, He opened His golden eyes.

"You look like you've made a big difference."

"Thoth took me to eat a lot of things, there were crunchy fried potatoes, nomadic roast lamb, sweet and sour black raspberries, icy coconut water, ......"

"Well, what else?"

"Thoth took me to a lot of places, with clattering waterfalls, forests with colorful mushrooms, wastelands with tumbleweeds running around, pastures with lots of sheep......"

"Well, what else?"

"Hmm...... He recently taught me a word, choice, and said that choice is the most precious gift you have given to mankind, is that what your holy text says? ”

The Creator laughed, and He took the young son to his lap, "That's a good word, add it to the scriptures." ”

Miko was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You favor him!" ”

"My child, the truth doesn't have to be written on the pages of a book, most of the truth in the world is realized by people stepping on the ground with their feet on it, step by step. If someone takes my words beyond books as truth, it is not disrespectful, but he has taken a different path and seen different landscapes...... He may see the world more than I do. ”

"Will anyone see more than you?" Miko doubted, "You can even see the starry sky!" ”

The Creator did not answer, but changed the subject and asked, "Do you like to be with Thoth?" ”

"Guardianship...... Person? ”

"Yes, this is my request."

"Isn't that a little too hasty?"

"I think you get along pretty well."

"But ......," Thoth's brain finally found a reluctant excuse after a sharp turn of three hundred and sixty degrees, "but I'm not an adult myself!" I'm only nineteen! Counting the time traveled over, it is a little more than twenty years old! ”

"Oh, twenty years old in Russia can already get married."

"It's clear that you Slavs are precocious!"

"Friend, I chose you for a reason." The Creator's eyes were full of sincerity, "I have many family members, who have followed me everywhere to fight and expand their territory, and have spent more time with me than a human life, some are wise and rational, some are faithful and zealous, and some are calm and quiet...... Each of them has commendable merits, but they have a common flaw, which is that they are mythical creatures, that is, they were born and raised in a world where there are gods. ”

"This means that when they look at Amun, what they see is destined to be a natural mythical being, the king of angels just a few steps away from the throne, not a child, an immature being, who will instinctively distance himself from him rather than be close to him - this is the difference between you and them, you will put the word 'child' before 'mythical creature', to you he is just a somewhat powerful child."

"As a father, I thank you for seeing Him that way."

"Don't think I'm going to be soft-hearted if you say that......!" And you're his father, so you're the best person to grow up with him, right? ”

The Creator was silent, not knowing how to tell the young man that the Son was just a mistake He had born to eliminate error.

"Alas...... Don't put on that face, I promise you. Thoth scratched his head, "But you have to answer me a question." ”

"Excuse me."

"Does He prefer to sleep alone in a cot or with me?"
