Chapter 169: Ning Lu

"Some people pushed me roughly, and I felt evil thoughts in their faces and body movements, and I thought that after Satan and his demonic lackeys, I would be humiliated by humans again, but this time, bad luck did not come again. For I saw a muscular man with a full beard and dark skin coming up to me, he was the strongest man I had ever seen in my life, half a shoulder wide and a head taller than an ordinary man. The man had long hair, braided hair, reddish-brown skin covered with honey-thin olive oil, and I suddenly felt like a brown bear fresh out of a honey pot. ”

"I don't know how I came up with that idea, and I laughed, laughed so much that I couldn't stop laughing. The unbridled and unbridled humans were horrified at my laughter, and it was evident that they were all afraid of this man with long braids, for he was the strongest and fiercest of all, but his movements were extremely agile and light, like a black panther in the wilderness, which was like a monster in the wilderness. He looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old at most, with a long beard with gold and silver 'Eyes of the Sun God' tied to it. ”

"The man walked all the way towards me, and the rest of the humans fled and retreated, and the noise died down. But I couldn't stop laughing, and everyone looked at me and the man in fear, as if I was a madman who was insane and not afraid of death. The man walked up to me, and I could smell the olive oil and balm on him from afar, and his braids were as black as the night sky, and he was covered with balm, as was his beard. On his bare chest hung a huge Eye of the Sun God, and the chain was also made of pure gold, which was extremely heavy to look at, and was studded with rubies and diamonds. His long knee-length hair was tied with gold rings and silver buckles, as well as golden bells and jade pomegranates, and the tail of the braids brushed against his calves as he moved. ”

"This man stood in front of me, his face cold and hard, his eyes fierce and fierce, his pupils like black and shivering ice. He was so tall and strong that I could only look at him with my neck up. He looked at me without saying a word, and I thought he was going to strangle me with his arm thicker than my thighs, but he never moved, and the look of staring at me was like a statue. ”

"I quieted down, and I was over five hundred years old at that time. I saw my own reflection in the man's eyes, and saw myself as a fifteen-year-old cardamom girl. There are no mirrors in hell, I haven't seen myself in hundreds of years, and I look at myself in obsessed with the image of myself in that man's eyes, almost forgetting the time. ”

"'Nimrod. The man said to me in a low voice. ”

"'What?' I reluctantly looked away as he approached me, and all I could see was the cold darkness in his eyes. ”

"'Nimrod. The man said again. ”

"'What do you mean?' I cried softly, 'what nationality are you? I don't understand your language. ’”

"'Nimrod. He repeated it a third time, and I suddenly understood that he was saying his own name. ”

"'Nimrod—is that your name?' I suddenly realized, and pointed to myself, 'My name is Isis, I—Isis, Isis—I.' ’”

"'Isis. 'Nimlu said my name slowly, word by word, like a terrible giant baby babbling. ”

"I couldn't help but laugh again, and the man seemed to find it funny, repeating the names Isis and Nimrod over and over again, 'Okay, are you only going to say those two words?' I laughed. At this moment, Ning Lu's originally indifferent and ruthless face suddenly showed a cruel and bloodthirsty appearance, and his eyes were like cracked beast pupils, almost bursting open with anger. ”

I was inexplicable by his sudden anger, and Ning Lu grabbed my wrists, slammed me to the ground, and commanded me left and right in a vernacular I didn't understand. Then a number of tall, dark-skinned soldiers rushed towards me, and one of them picked me up, threw me by the shoulder, and carried me away. ”

"They placed me in a mobile tent, which had everything but a thick black iron rod to the window, and several brass locks at the door, and my three meals a day were brought by a dark-skinned eunuch with only a white cloth wrapped around him. There is meat, wine, and melons and fruits in the food, which is very good, although it is not good-looking. The tent was carried by two camels, and it was clear that the group of humans I had encountered was a group of nomads, and that the man named Ninrod was the leader of them. ”

"During my hundreds of years in hell, I almost never ate, and now I am back in the human world, and being able to see, smell, and touch these ordinary foods evokes distant memories and arouses my instinctive appetite. So I devoured plate after plate of food, gesturing to the eunuch to tell him that I was not full, and the food was sent into my tent again and again. On several occasions inside, I distinctly heard my tent being forcibly stopped, the clanging of swords and the howl of rage coming from the doorway, the seeming attempt to break in, and the dull sound of iron and the clatter of heavy objects against wood. Then I heard Ning Lu's voice again, his voice was lower than the average person, and it was easy to distinguish. Hearing him whisper something, the man who wanted to break in began to cry out and beg for mercy, but after a while, he heard a dull grunt, like something not too hard was smashed to pieces, and then the cry for mercy stopped abruptly. I think Ning Lu had his men smash the intruder's head with maces, because I also smelled the pungent smell of blood and sourness. ”

"After this, I thought that Ning Lu was going to come in, but he didn't seem to stay at all, and left immediately after dealing with the commotion, and the silence was repeated outside. It's been a long time since I've had such a comfortable day—a truly peaceful day, not as peaceful as the days I used to be a person, or the days I was abducted to hell by Sam Yasa. I drank a large bottle of light wine, which in human society is of inferior quality, but for me who has not been out of hell for a long time, this wine is comparable to the elixir. ”

"I leaned against the window, looked through the thick iron bars and looked at the golden full moon outside the window, and suddenly I felt that it was much better to be a prisoner on earth than to be the queen of hell. I remembered the night I was deceived by Satan, the full moon that was like blood on the top of a high mountain, and I suddenly felt like crying. So I wept aloud, and no one would come or hear me anyway, and in the midst of my sobs I found by the moonlight that the tears that had fallen on my hands and on the hem of my garment were blood-red. ”

"Maybe I drank too much, maybe I ate too much, maybe I cried too hard, but in short, soothed by the moonlight, I fell asleep in a daze, and I had many strange dreams, angels and demons, sky and sea. After sleeping for some time, I suddenly woke up, because I clearly felt a tall black figure beside me—someone had crept up to my bed. ”

"Even though the man had his back to the moonlight outside the window, there was only a dark silhouette, but I could not be mistakenly wrong for the scent and smell of his body, as well as his unforgettable figure. ”

"'Ninglu,' I asked hesitantly, 'is that you?'"
