It's been a while since that parting... How long?

Sometimes, he obviously didn't remember it on purpose, but he could always think of it unexpectedly when a thought arises by chance.

At first it was just ten years.

Later, the intervals get longer and longer.

Telling the specific figures might frighten a lot of people. Of course, he has no interest in publicizing them, and he doesn't think it's a big deal.

Even if you really tell it, no one will believe it.

Because the time is too long.It's so frighteningly long, or simply used as a joke, to look at the man who said the number lightly with the eyes of a madman.

Even if this man couldn't be crazy, moreover, they probably didn't dare to look at him with such blatant eyes.

In the past, Eddie hadn't realized how unpleasant his "immortality" could bring him.

The first time I noticed it was when Gilgamesh died.

At that time, he actually still had a lot of opinions on the fact that the fool king who was only a close friend wanted to take himself as his own, but he rushed back to see the king of Uruk for the last time.

That parting was very peaceful, without even a little sadness, and it ended very simply.

Eddie watched his best friend close his eyes, but didn't feel anything special in his heart at the time.However, when he went out and saw the grown-up Siduri, passing through a city that was completely different from the Uruk in his initial impression, he felt a little different.

Since the concept of "death" does not exist in his body, serious injuries can be healed, and he will not encounter the unavoidable death of old age that all human beings cannot avoid.

This is equivalent to that he will live forever.

As long as he wants, he can live endlessly, and in this endless process, he sees everything except himself—all life including gods are going to be destroyed, including this planet.

Enki is gone.

Gilgamesh is gone.

In the back, even Uruk was gone.

It is possible that when "death" is thrown away, the concept of time also disappears from him.

Eddie didn't feel too obvious from the beginning to the end, as if—he kept walking forward in order to find the trace of the god he must find.

As a result, he walked tirelessly, and suddenly remembered someone who could remind him, so he turned his head on a whim.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, turning the already deserted ruins behind him into wind and sand, blowing all over his hair and cloak, making them dirty.

"...What the hell am I doing?"

Eddie stopped.

"I've been searching for so long, but I haven't found anything, and I wasted so much time at this time."

What exactly is the picture.

If it were him who had just come here, it would be absolutely impossible for him to believe that he would be so persistent for a completely elusive thing. After all, he is actually a very impatient person.

If he continued wandering and searching, even if he finally found it, it would not seem to bring him any benefit.

The first friends he made when he came to this world were all dead, and logically speaking, there was no one who could make him stop here.

Eddie likes to be lively, to be interesting, and better to be a little bit stronger, to make him see the guy, and there is no such thing here.

He should leave, go to a new world, maybe form a new bond.

But why he still didn't leave.

because……

"Forget it, we've come so far, so why not go back?"

As expected, he still refuses to admit defeat. For the things he has decided, it is absolutely impossible to give up halfway without completing them.

This place is really windy and sandy. Eddie hated the sand that got caught in his hair without paying attention, so he simply put on the hood.

Keep going.

However, the figure he left behind seemed to be heavier and heavier than before.

After that, Eddie didn't stick to a small area. Almost all the land on this planet had his footprints, and he stepped on it more than once.

Many ancient civilizations have lasted for hundreds of years, and will be destroyed due to various factors, and then new civilizations will be born.

Eddie was not sure how the "god" of this world appeared. Gilgamesh seemed to have briefly mentioned it to him, but the Son of God didn't know the specific reason.

He didn't bother to study it in depth, and directly adopted the most suitable and most simple and crude method.

Wherever beliefs appeared in any region or country, and "miracles" were reported, he would go there to find them.

This method is indeed simple, but it is still quite troublesome to find them one by one, because the time span is too large and the scope of search is too wide.

The number of countries he has been to over the past thousand years can be described as astonishing, but judging from the results of his complete lack of harvest, it can be seen that there are many waters in these countries.

Among them, a considerable proportion of belief civilizations are fictions of human beings, and a very small part has a little shadow of real gods.But the shadow was too weak, and it was impossible to trace it.

Going around like this, or knowing that there is probably no hope, but still having to waste time for a while, made Eddie more and more impatient, and more and more aggrieved in his heart, which can be justified.

It was many years later that Eddie came to Egypt.

It has to be said that Egypt is the most promising place to find the "god" he has discovered so far.

About a year ago, when he was still wandering in a distant overseas continent, one day, he suddenly sensed a strange power bursting out from afar.

That power is naturally very strange, and it disappears in a flash. If you don't pay attention, it will definitely be judged as an illusion.

But Eddie was sure that it was the "trace" he was looking for the first time he sensed it.

Whether it's an intuition that can be determined in a second, or an attempt where he can't find a clue, he has to go to the place where the power appears to find out.

So - he came to this piece of land where the Nile River flows.

Becoming the son of Pharaoh, that is, the teacher of Pharaoh in the future, seems to be a mistake, but Eddie is not stupid, how could he not notice the strange attitude of Pharaoh.

Since there was something wrong, he agreed with the situation.Just in time, Eddie suspected that the miracle that appeared that day was related to the special existence of "Pharaoh", and it was in his favor to be able to observe it at a close distance.

Although he was in a bad mood halfway because he didn't like the apprentice he picked up for nothing, he almost planned to leave the burden and leave, at worst, stay away and observe slowly.But luckily, I changed my mind later.

It's not easy for someone to offer him a chance to eat and live for free. Besides, what's the name of that O... Pharaoh's son?Anyway, it's that one, so be patient and take a look, and it won't be hopeless.

Eddie never intended to be a serious teacher.

Such a pretentious kid can't suffer much, and it's not bad if he can persist in chasing him for a "challenge" for a month.

Hmm... isn't a month a little long?

That's half a month.

Thinking of this, Eddie nodded in satisfaction, and immediately decided happily to continue ignoring that Otis to the end within the agreed two years.

"..."

"...Ah Choo! Ah Choo! Ah—— Ah Choo!"

"Oshi", whose name was not remembered by the teacher after so long, sneezed heavily.

He was obviously an exceptionally handsome brown-skinned boy, but at this moment his nose and eyebrows were wrinkled together, his image was seriously damaged, and even the arrogance of the prince disappeared for the time being.

He certainly can't be blamed for this.

Ozymandias is soaking in the pool reserved for members of the royal family.

That's right, this is the bath in his dormitory, and it's an exclusive bath that can only be enjoyed by him.

The area of ​​the pool is huge, and the stone statues with lion heads evenly distributed on the edge of the pool continuously pour hot water into the pool to ensure that the temperature of the bathing water will never cool down.

Cold and heat intertwined and a vast mist rose up to fill the entire hall. The field of vision was filled with such white mist, and it was impossible to recognize any scenery at all.

This situation is obviously abnormal, and there is too much fog.

Ozymandias knew why such anomalies occurred.

There is no other reason, and it is the same as the reason that caused him to sneeze continuously, that is——

The water in the pool was as cold as snow water that had just slowly melted.With a light touch with your fingertips, you can feel the cold air getting into your fingertips, drilling into your flesh and blood, not to mention your whole body being soaked in water.

As soon as the pouring hot water came into contact with the cold pool water, a thicker mist was naturally formed, which just happened to cover the distorted expression that the proud prince never wanted to be seen by others.

Ozymandias (gritting his teeth and trembling): "..."

cold.

Almost frozen into ice cubes.

Not only was the pool water soaking in, but the cold air also came from not far from him - in the huge pool, there was a man lazily taking a bath.

In stark contrast to the young man whose face was starting to turn blue, the man's expression was indifferent, as if he was soaking in a hot spring comfortably, the lines between his brows stretched, and he looked contented.

Ozymandias carefully looked at the place where the man—his teacher—was exposed on the water, and found out with mixed emotions that even if the man closed his eyes, he seemed to fall asleep after soaking in the bath In the past, but every moment leaves no holes.

Really, there is no flaw.

It gives people a sense of crisis that everything around them is under control, and that once someone approaches, they will immediately open their eyes. Moreover, the closer you are to him, the lower the water temperature, and you can already see the ice that has really condensed.

Ozymandias gritted his teeth unwillingly for the umpteenth time.

Unable to find a flaw, he had to focus on other aspects.

For example, the teacher's perfect strong body, the teacher's powerful muscles that can make all men envy, for a boy who is still in the development stage and has no shadow of abdominal muscles and chest muscles, he is really jealous. explain.

Jealousy, envy, unwillingness.

The prince launched an offensive again, trying to get closer to the man with his eyes closed...

failure.

I can't even lift my legs.

He could only try not to make a shivering sound, while staring at the teacher who seemed to have not seen him from the beginning to the end.

endure.

endure!

At this level, I, Ozymandias, can still... Ah!

Ah Choo Ah Choo—— Ah Choo!

*****

Eddie's ignorance of people can be said to be quite complete.

Even if the other party is swaying non-stop in front of his eyes, he can still treat it as air, he should rest and take a bath.

but……

It seems that there is still an accident.

I can't stand it.

Are people here so blind?Or, this kid is the only one like this.

He took a good soak in the pool, thinking that he could enjoy the quiet again.At this moment, the culprit who made him destined to be restless quietly——no, he touched in openly.

At first, Eddie really carried out the policy that had been set long ago. When he closed his eyes, he pretended that the kid didn't exist.

But the kid named Oshis has a thick skin, and he doesn't care if he is ignored. He has been staring at him from the beginning to the end.

Eddie was about to get hairy from his stare.

Ignoring can't completely block out the feeling that makes people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts. How could Eddie not understand that Ozymandias is mainly competing with him.

This kid... is he free?

Eddie was too lazy to bully the kid who could be knocked down with one finger, and didn't want to talk to him, so he took a direct method: turning the hot water in the pool into ice water, and let Ozymandias go out quickly by himself.

His method... Well, although it is easy, it is also very naive.

The point is, let it be naive, it hasn't had the expected effect yet!

Eddie underestimated Ozymandias after all.

This Egyptian prince was much more stubborn than he thought. Even if he didn't open his eyes, he could still hear the chattering and chattering of his teeth.

Eddie: "..."

It was almost as if he was accompanying him—no, how can there be such a loud accompaniment, I can't even take a bath!

So, with the feeling that he must clean up the annoying boy, Eddie raised his eyelids expressionlessly——

"..."

"Master, you, sleep, wake up, are you... are you!"

What came into view was a flushed (frozen) and distorted face.

The brown-haired teenager Ozymandias is simply a realistic portrayal of facing difficulties and becoming more and more courageous.

Even though he was shaking so much that he couldn't speak clearly, he still insisted on opening his mouth. In those golden eyes that were very similar to Eddie, there was obviously a raging fire burning, as if it could dispel the cold.

Eddie: "..."

Ozymandias (his eyes flashing while trembling): "I, haven't I, have, passed... your test! I passed it!"

Eddie: ...Damn.

Is there any mistake, you kid jumped into this pool by yourself, and then stayed here without moving!

It was the first time Eddie had encountered such a person.

Although he is still a little ghost, the essence has been established and will not change.

Not only is he very talkative and has a long name, but he is also very good at brainstorming, and it is not embarrassing to talk to himself.

This kind of people.

It's interesting.

but……

Disadvantages are obviously stronger than advantages that exist only a little bit.This kid is too annoying!

slam-la-

Splashes of water splashed in all directions, and immediately knocked on a piece of ice that was originally calm.

Ozymandias only had time to blink, and then realized that he was lifted out with one hand and thrown onto the thick cushion laid by the pool.

Here is another place with a hot climate, and the locals find it too hot to wear clothes.

Therefore, Ozymandias felt much warmer after getting out of the cold pool water-but this is definitely not the reason why he can accept being thrown around casually!

The prince was very angry. It seemed that after meeting this "teacher", he was very angry every day.

He was born so noble, and it was always his fault that he ignored others, and no one else ignored him and made him lose face.

Eddie is an exception.

The pharaoh's courtesy to men from foreign countries has long been known, but this has made many noble officials dissatisfied with foreigners who are not clear about the details.

When facing today's pharaoh, a man's attitude can still be regarded as "neither humble nor overbearing", so his attitude towards the prince, the future pharaoh, is particularly arrogant.

In this country, the pharaoh's dignity is unquestionable. Even the pharaoh's teacher can only be respectful and maintain himself as a servant.

Where is Eddie who doesn't care about the face of the royal family, and instead lets the prince chase him all day long?This is disrespectful!

Dissatisfaction piled up, and someone spoke in front of the prince, saying nothing less than those words.

What's even more shocking, however, is that Ozymandias is really angry with Eddie.

But he did not allow anyone other than himself to speak ill of that man who was even more arrogant than Pharaoh.

"That's the person my father approves of. It's okay to pamper him a little more. Don't I even have this bit of tolerance?"

This is one of the reasons, and there are more critical reasons—but due to the young prince's own pride, he is unwilling to say the reason.

He was actually shocked by the strength of the man.

Out of the temperament of a teenager, he naturally has such a longing for a powerful existence.He immediately made up his mind that he would be stronger than this man in the future and must defeat him. Now, he must let the man truly face him.

The more men ignore him, the more unconvinced he has never been ignored before.

I still have this idea in my heart-since you are my teacher, then show your skills and convince me.

Just like that, the prince who was suddenly thrown out of his pool was suffocated, and just as he raised his head suddenly to express his dissatisfaction, his head was pressed back by a sudden heavy object.

It was a cape that was quite wide for him now.

"you--"

Ozymandias blurted out a word in annoyance, but the following words stopped unnaturally.

"I'm really convinced." Eddie, who grabbed his cloak and threw it over, was really upset, but he really couldn't stand it.

"Be honest, I'm afraid I'll freeze you to death. By the way, don't rub your nose into my clothes."

Ozymandias finally pulled the cloak covering his head to the right place, and exposed his head with difficulty.

The man's cloak is also black.

When wearing it on him, it feels nothing special.

But at this time, Ozymandias frowned, and actually felt that wrapping this cloak around his body was more than enough to wrap his whole body tightly. The cold air that had penetrated into his bones before seemed to suddenly Disappeared, leaving only a comfortable warmth.

He was stunned for about a second, then retorted dissatisfiedly: "I didn't!"

Runny nose... It's too unsightly, how could he be in such a mess.

Eddie didn't argue with him, and said perfunctorily, "Okay, no."

When throwing the shivering prince up, Eddie just made do and sat on the edge of the pool that was closer to him.

As soon as Ozymandias looked over, he could see that the man's silver hair was unkempt, clinging to his back, and dripping slowly.

He didn't know when he even put on his clothes, although it was only a thin coat.The two sides failed to pull together, and the chest with water stains was still exposed.

All right.

Eddie snapped and slapped the annoying kid on the head, straight to the point: "Tell me. Chasing me all day, what the hell are you trying to do?"

Ozymandias: "...If I remember correctly, you are my martial arts teacher."

Eddie: "Well, that seems to be the case.

Ozymandias: "It's not like, there is such a thing!"

He tilted his head, shook off Eddie's hand, and then looked at Eddie with dissatisfaction and undisguised ambition in his eyes.

As expected of the boy who made Eddie feel a bit like a leopard with its teeth and claws when we first met, Ozymandias is ambitious, and he is not afraid to show his ambition to Eddie:

"I not only want to challenge you. Anything is fine, I also want to learn from you what will make me stronger and stronger enough to defeat you!"

"So, why don't you start to fulfill your responsibilities. Teacher, are you the kind of idiot who relies on your own strength and doesn't take others seriously."

The last sentence is naked provocation.

He didn't care about the gap in strength at all, and he didn't care whether a man would become angry when he said that-this was actually an expression of incomparable confidence.

The boy didn't doubt that Eddie could listen to his words, as if he didn't know him well, he just decided that Eddie was definitely not the kind of person he deliberately described when he provoked.

"..."

Eddie glanced over the boy's confident face, and was silent for a moment.

The previous evaluation of Ozymandias may need to be revised.

Oh no, just add a sentence after it.

proud.Absolute confidence from the bones.

The ego was too bright, but for Eddie—well, it didn't bother him.

After all, a long, long time ago, he had come into contact with someone even more arrogant than this kid.

At this moment, the feeling that even he who has a good memory has almost forgotten emerges from the depths of his memory. Unfortunately, it is not a good feeling, and it can only make him silent for a while.

Then he said casually: "Indeed, in this way, I must at least fulfill this responsibility."

"Well, your name is Ozzy... from now on, you are Ozzy!"

Ozymandias: "Huh?!"

Eddie clapped his hands as if nothing had happened: "Okay, Ozzy. I'll teach you how to become stronger, how much you can learn, and whether you can persevere. It's up to you. I don't care about you."

Ozymandias: "My name is Ozymandias! What Ozzy-oh hahahaha! Don't underestimate me, I will definitely impress you... Achoo!"

The coldness that had not subsided for a long time came again. Needless to say, His Royal Highness, who has been soaking in cold water for a long time when going back today, will definitely get sick.

But at this time, he still stretched out his hand firmly - turning the trembling and brooding matter into reality, it can be said to be quite actionable.

"Hmph, that's all."

The prince's noble paw was lifted up and poked Eddie's chest.

Don't think too much, at least at this time, His Royal Highness's thoughts are very simple, driven by the faint jealousy, he wants to know how perfect the man's perfect muscles are.

He also declared: "In a few years, I will have a more perfect body than yours!"

Eddie: "..."

A second later, the future pharaoh, who had a long name and a long name and was also crazy (in Eddie), was kicked into the ice pool by his teacher again—it was so called to clear his mind.
