Chapter 180: Seventy Years
"Happy days are always vague and short-lived," this is not the second time Isis has repeated the same words, Seser feels that she cannot face the beauty of the past, because the happiness of the past is always more heart-wrenching than the pain of the present, "For seventy years, Nimrod and I have become almost the happiest couple on the road of Vilogoza. Although Ning Lu never said that he loved me, whether in public or private, in fact, he never even confided in such words as liking, but since he had me, he gave all his original concubines to his subordinates. โ
"For the men of Gushi, especially the nobles, and they are also kings, Ninglu's practice of having only one woman regardless of his wife and concubine will not be praised by everyone, because a group of wives and concubines and more than 100 heirs are the male majesty that a mighty and fierce king of Gushi should show. But my belly is not indisputable, and in these seventy years, I have given birth to fifty children to Ninglu, and when they grow up, they all go to open up new territories, and each of them has become the king of a country. Because you know, Sether, in Nimrod's time, he was pretty much the only king of Velogosa. โ
"Seventy years, fifty children......," Sether whispered, scrutinizing Isis's pretty face, which looked no more than cardamom years.
"Unbelievable, isn't it?" The blind woman was keenly aware of the gaze projected by the man next to her, and smiled with contempt and sadness, it was hard to imagine how these two feelings could appear on the same person's face at the same time. Isis stretched out his fingertips and gently stroked his cheek, as if there was an invisible mirror in front of him, "Sether, you live in this generation, have anyone ever told you that your generation is so wicked, rebellious, and stubborn that the King of Kings cannot tolerate the lewdness and abomination of this generation, and can only delay the judgment period for the destruction of the continent of Vilogosa by shortening the life span of this generation of human beings?"
"Nope. Sether hissed hoarsely.
"Then you now know," Isis continued, "that the life span of mankind has been constantly shortened since the day of creation, and no one has lived past a thousand years except me and Mukize. You see, in the eyes of the King of kings, a thousand years are like a day, and a day is like a thousand years. However, I think that in fact, Mukiza and I can only be regarded as human beings, although we have both spent a period of time on the continent of Velogoza as human beings, but in essence, he and I cannot actually be regarded as human beings in the following days. โ
"What kind of Mukizai is it?" Seser raised his eyelids slightly, the feeling of being in the Arramic Palace returned to his heart, although Mukizai did not admit it, and Seser did not continue to ask, but Seser had a strong intuition in his heart, when he was a child, the person who had sneaked into the bedroom of him and his mother, Princess Seye, in the middle of the night, was none other than Mukiza. "Did he turn out to be an angelโthe unfallen kind?" said Sether, smiling rather than smiling.
"I can't give you a definitive answer, Sether," Isis shook his head, "but I think you're right. Otherwise, how can we explain that Mukizzi and I have broken the curse of human lifespan and lived for a thousand years? The only explanation is that neither I nor he will eventually cease to be human, and I will become a fallen angel," she smiled with the same sarcasm as Sether, "and Mukizai has become an angelโthe uncorrupted kind." โ
"You shall eat as much as you like of every tree of the garden," said Sether, as in a chant, "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it, for in the day you eat of it you will surely die." โ
"How do you know this story?" exclaimed Isis.
"The book is in my hand," Sether felt that there was no point in hiding anything from Isis at this time, "although the book is incomplete, and although I do not understand the words in it, I have read the description of the first chapter of the book, and I have memorized it. And, Isis, you know better than I do that this is not a story, but a real thing that happened in human history. โ
"How could this happen, how could this happen......" Isis raised his dry eyelids and looked at Sether in vain, "it can't be considered a good thing for you. โ
Seser didn't answer immediately, he could clearly hear the intense jealousy in Isis's words, "This is the first rebellion done by a human ancestor," he said in a businesslike tone, "Everyone should know." As you told me before, in the eyes of the King of kings, a thousand years are like a day, and a day is like a thousand years. So the ancestor of mankind lived to be nine hundred and thirty years old and died, not more than a thousand years, and in the eyes of the Creator, he did not live for a day. This is the fulfillment of what the King of kings said to our ancestors, 'In the day you eat thereof, you will surely die'. โ
"You're right. Isis snorted.
"If you look at it this way, in the seventy years since you married Ninglu, in order to give birth to fifty children, this matter makes sense," Sether thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked Isis, "How long did Ninglu live?"
"Five hundred and sixty-six years old. She said in a hoarse voice.
"Go on. โ
Isiston didn't say anything for a long time, his hands on his knees and his forehead, as if he couldn't breathe, and as if he was struggling to clear his mind.
"These fifty children," her voice seemed to float from the grave through the heavy stone slabs, "and what I disliked the most was precisely Nimrod's eldest son, Siba, not only because I had a difficult birth when I gave birth to him, but that I had endured three days and three nights of extreme pain in a pool of blood like a cut cow. I was almost dying, when I saw Siba in the hands of the maid. What an ugly body that was!" Isis clutched his chest, as if he had gone back to the night of his first childbirth thousands of years ago, "Siba's skin was pale scarlet, and he was born with thick red hair, and not only that, but he also had a layer of woolly red hair. He was born without crying, and even had teeth in his mouth - in any generation of Vilogoza, people have seen babies born with teeth in their mouths as the embodiment of the devil. What scares me the most is that there are two slightly raised hard bones on the top of Xiba's head, like two horns that have not broken out of the skin. โ
"I didn't expect that I would give birth to such a terrible monster, and after I woke up, I begged Ninglu to kill Xiba, but he completely disagreed, and he didn't even want to send Xiba away. โ
