Chapter 37: Back on Track
Thoth woke up under the bitter orange tree, and Ulorius painted beside him, and when he saw Thoth wake up, his silver eyes only slightly turned, and then he continued to study his painting—just by this attentive appearance, Thoth felt that it could not be Ulorius who had just pulled himself. He straightened up, his hand touching a basket.
The bottom of the basket felt cold to the touch, like it was filled with crushed ice, and on top of it were fruits, yellow apricots, green and red lychees, red strawberries, and purple and black grapes...... Thoth was surprised to find that these were the ones he liked to eat. As a citizen of a big foodie country, he is also very particular about the combination of food, in addition to those street food and big fish and meat, he also pays attention to eating fruits, in order to maintain the freshness of fruits, he even installed a refrigerator in the "hazy car" - although it cannot be cooled by electricity, but the "Snow Maiden's Frost Breath" allows him to make ice cubes at will, which is generally very convenient.
Thoth smiled helplessly, picked up a grape and peeled it slowly, thinking about how he could finish eating so much.
After eating a dozen or so grapes, he felt a little full, and he shouted to Ulorius, who was still painting, "There are apricots, lychees, strawberries, grapes, which one do you like?" ”
Ulorius looked a little confused, but answered the question seriously: "Strawberry." ”
"Then I'll give you these."
A breath of cold air came out of Thoth's mouth, condensing the water vapor in the air into ice, and Thoth put a few strawberries on the crushed ice and carried the fruit basket away.
"Sir, sir?"
"Sorry, I just got a little distracted."
"It seems that the fatigue of rushing to the border is still on you." The archon looked at Thoth with a caring gaze, "Is there any twist or turn?" ”
"No, everything is going well." He felt the corners of his mouth jerkily, "My companions are very concerned about me, and the people of Moon City are also very welcoming, welcoming us with singing, dancing, wine and meat, and the guests and hosts are happy, so happy." Before the archon moved his lips, he said, "It's just that I don't like horses very much." Even though they were well-trained horses, I was still dizzy. ”
The archon wondered, "I don't mean to offend you, I'm just puzzled—don't warriors have to be good at horsemanship?" ”
"If you're going for a long run, horseback riding is really a must-have." Thoth spread his hands helplessly, "But almost all extraordinary people above the demigod have their own ability to move quickly, and their reflexes and explosive power will also be qualitatively changed - this kind of breakthrough is not something that horses can keep up with, and the saddle has become a constraint." I was already a demigod when I joined Master Medici, so naturally I didn't have a chance to master riding. ”
"That's what happened." The Archon sighed with novelty, "It's that I have heard less. ”
"Anyway, I'm glad you can continue to teach my children, Mr. Thoth."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness the Consul, but please call me 'Siddle' in the future."
“Cedar?”
"You know, I've had some military exploits on the battlefield," he finally decided to tell a little lie, "and the Lord gave me a surname." ”
To make it easier to communicate with his fellow War Reds, he took an honorific name and gave the name "Thoth" a deep occult connotation - it wouldn't be a problem to be Sequence 3 at the time, but now it's Sequence 0. Amanisis had said that bad things would happen to call gods by their names in a language that echoed their extraordinary powers, and although the lingua franca had become widespread, it was still difficult to abandon the ancient giants in historic places such as the Land of Gold and the Land of Silver...... Just in case, it's better to bury the name "Thoth".
"That's a great honor!" The archon was heartily pleased with Him, "It is said that the names given by the Lord often have deep meanings, so what should be the meaning of the name 'Siddle'? ”
"It means 'cedar'."
In the far east, the plant that accompanies it is called cypress, and people in the past used "pine and cypress luxuriant" as a metaphor for eternal youth, "pine and cypress Hanmeng" as a metaphor for the friend of distress, and "meal pine and cypress" as a metaphor for transcendence...... In short, the meaning of both words is excellent.
"But the word 'loose' is used too broadly." The oil smoke and ink snaked out a series of strong and powerful strokes on the white paper, and the man in the memory laughed and talked while facing the scene, "not as unique as 'cypress', and ......"
"And?"
"And the pine leaves are prickly, which is not good."
As he spoke, he was still talking in the direction of his mother, who was loudly reprimanding a derelict subordinate on the phone.
"Sir, sir...... sir?"
"Sorry, I'm distracted again."
"What are your plans for the future?"
"I made an appointment with the consul that when I returned, I would continue to teach his son until the end of the year, with three months to go."
"You've decided?"
"No matter what happens, life has to go on, how can there be any reason to say that you won't do it?"
"Mature mentality." The Creator nodded approvingly.
"It's just what I look like now...... Hmm, have I changed a lot? ”
"The height has only changed by 0.3 centimeters, and the more conspicuous change comes from the ...... temperament," the Creator paused, "but when you get along with others, you can spontaneously disguise these changes." ”
"That's good."
Pretending to be casual is the skill of adults, and it is the prerogative of young people to express their emotions freely.
