Immorton

The tone was crisp and severe, "This is not what I want, my strength is not enough to support such a plan."

The old man protested loudly: "But you deserve it! You laid the foundation for the expansion of that dynasty! They shouldn't deprive you of your glory and dignity after taking the fruits you watered! This is a proper revenge!" In the tone There are tremors that I try to control.

"Perhaps. Everyone has their own position." Imerton said calmly, with cold determination, "As far as I know, after they were sentenced, they offered sacrifices to Anubis and got Permitted—you should know what divine punishment means to priests.” He slightly lowered his head, and turned to the powerful being he had served, “Besides, I really don’t have enough power now. Your preparations are used in secular battles, You can already obtain considerable power and wealth. Rushing into a world that does not belong to you will only bring unnecessary danger and loss."

"But I want to be with you." The young woman's passionate and eager voice sounded, "I want to be with you, to rule the world together, to make people admire us and obey our every word until eternity." She approached , put his hand on his chest, "Give me Ansuna's memory, and I can be with you forever. Isn't that good?"

Imherton lowered his head and looked at her greedily. Her delicate and beautiful face, her bright eyes under her long eyelashes, filled with endless vitality and ambition - he almost agreed, even if it was only for the sake of her pupils. Hope can always flow like today... Countless thrilling images flashed in my mind, and they were frozen at the end of the curtain: a woman in a black robe passed by, and the sea breeze in front of me seemed to want to blow away his tightly huddled heart …He closed his eyes sadly, and the corners of his lips raised mockingly: After the golden veil, Ansuna gave him a sharp blade, but at that moment he saw her abandon him and fall into the endless abyss... Such a punishment Ah... Anubis, please, don't give her this fate, let her live well, just ask her to live well...

In the silence, the subtle movements of the horses and camels are so obvious.After an unknown amount of time, he spoke again, with a hoarse voice: "People use chains and whips to reduce the threat of wild beasts. Ansuna, my strength is also not without restraint. If I recall your past memories, Keeping you by my side... in the face of limitations, I have no ability to protect you, I can't even protect myself, I can't even escape."

The girl's upturned face suddenly turned pale, and he paused: "Besides, I... can't give you what you want. Ansuna, there is a small gap between immortality and immortality, and that is an insurmountable moat." .I'm just an undead. My immortal body comes from a curse. Three thousand years of pain and resentment endowed it with great power, however..." He continued with difficulty, speaking more and more slowly, "I still remember those times, yours Breath, the burning heat of your body, my sweat moistens your skin...but...I can't feel it anymore, I can't feel the softness of your palm, the sharpness of your fingertips, the smoothness of your hair. You have to sacrifice Soul, become a similar existence?"

Her expression was so shocked and bewildered.Imerton smiled wryly, looked sideways at the old man, and Su Rong said the ancient mantra word by word: "My priest, as a mentor, I cancel your obligations and cancel any related family oaths." The voice echoed and shook the soul.

The old man covered his face and sighed: "No, no..."

But he has opened his eyes wide, looking towards the sky, not wanting to see her expression, "Your name is Milanes, right? What a good name. You...are free to choose your life. I shouldn't Goodbye to you, so... I thought, this is goodbye." The tears finally fell slowly, and the air began to flow, "Ansuna, you know I love you, but I hope, you will never understand how much I love you."

His figure was already blurred, and his last words flew into the sky with the whirlwind, dissipating into the distance.In the same place, there were only two disappointed faces, looking at the sky from afar.

------------

Zheng Zha was very troubled.When their airship passed through the top of the canyon, it was blown out of control by the wind, and it was blown against the stone wall. As a result, they fell to pieces on the edge of the jungle, and the airship broke.This... besides the abnormality of the main god, is there any other explanation?I don't know what strange things are waiting for me next!He raised the spear of judgment resentfully, and with one spear he picked up a small fish.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind, and the gravel made the leaves crackle.Immediately afterwards, Eve screamed behind him.He turned around sharply, and saw the black-robed priest who appeared opposite Eve gracefully caress his chest, and then asked in a tone that sounded very humble: "Your Royal Highness, you don't hesitate to use the Book of the Dead, Call me back to the world of the living again. Although I am flattered by your actions, I am still very curious about the reason?"

All of a sudden, everyone opened their mouths wide and stared at them blankly.The birds and insects in the forest are singing, the brook is gurgling, and the leaves are rustling.After a while, Eve's face slowly turned red, she glanced at Zheng Zha sideways, and stammered trying to explain: "Uh...well, I think I might have read something...I don't remember...but I just read the Book of the Dead... I didn't mean to..."

Her voice was crisp and sweet, and her expression was sincere and open, making it impossible to get angry.Emerton could not help softening his voice: "When using those two books, you should be more cautious and careful. The power contained in them is powerful and mysterious, and sometimes it will cause unpredictable consequences. It is always wise to be cautious. Human power," he hesitated, but continued, "including the power you have over me."

Last time this person made the same request, and then he was nailed to the ground like a stuffed insect, his limbs trembling.Eve jumped back reflexively like a frightened kitten: "No!...uh..." She looked around helplessly.

"Can't you hide away by yourself? Do you have to come and ask her?" O'Connor rushed forward in a few steps, protecting Eve behind him, and asked violently.

There was an indescribable bitterness on Emerton's face: "I think, I can't. The imprint of that oath directly acts on the soul. Even if I try to stay away, I will reach her in the end until she gives Unless, when there is an extremely strong emotional drive, I may temporarily ignore the call." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "For now. As long as we are in this world of the living at the same time, you are the judge, and I , I am the eternal prisoner, Nefertili."

"Don't call me that!" Eve suddenly became agitated, and pushed O'Connor away, "I'm Eve," she let O'Connor stretch out his arms to hold her tightly, looking directly at Imerton, without saying a word He paused and said, "My name is Eve," then rolled his eyes to the sky with hatred, and muttered, "It doesn't matter who I was and what I remember." O'Connor looked at the sky helplessly , tilted his head and kissed her hair, and smiled in relief.

Imerton looked away and remained silent, but a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Unexpectedly, someone next to him stepped forward, put his shoulders on his shoulders and walked towards the outer circle: "Why are you in a hurry, come here and rest for a while. Give her some time, don't make it like the last time, you suffer, and she is also sad. I am Zheng Zha, you Remember?"

"Ah, you." Imerton paused, bowed slightly while walking, and saluted, "I remember." He emphasized his tone, "Anyway, I am very grateful."

Zheng Zha was a little embarrassed. He still has points to get for doing that... He coughed lightly: "By the way, your actions at that time were quite unexpected. In the stories we heard, there was no mention of such a thing. kind of constraints."

"Really? I don't know what happened to those things." Imerton said calmly, "There are definite records in Nefertili's tomb. I went in and read it. But there are only a few words in the world. Records often only have a shadow of the truth.”

"Well, we all thought that after you gained power, you would first revive Ansuna."

Imerton didn't answer the conversation immediately. After walking a few steps, he looked back at the people who had gathered for a heated discussion, and whispered to Zheng Zha, "But, I've already done it," he showed an unstoppable expression. The smile was fleeting, "3000 years ago. I resurrected Ansuna, and asked my priests to take her away through the teleportation array. In the end, I... ran out of time." He was a little emotional.

"No wonder. Before we came, I heard that your priest was arrested at the same time, but Eve didn't mention that there were other people involved in the whole incident." Zheng Zha thought for a while, "So, Ansuna's resurrection was arrested. It’s probably just a common guess.”

"I think it's like a well-arranged rumor. The king's majesty comes from the gods. Failure to stop the blasphemy is not a big or small mistake for the king. It can be recorded truthfully, but it won't be spread around. .Anyway," he made a vague gesture, "those who should be held accountable have been punished, and there is no need for further complications."

"So it is."

"At least, it's good for Ansuna." Imerton said softly, "Speaking of which, because of the soul imprint, Eve will recover part of her memory sooner or later. Back then, Nefertili and Ansuna had always hated each other. So... can you not mention this to Eve?" He looked at Zheng Zha pleadingly, "There is no need to bring Ansuna into it."

Zheng Zha pondered: "You have met Ansuna." He was sure, and then twisted his hair, "For me, Eve's safety is more important. Well, if she and her people don't collide, I can not say."

Emerton lowered his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and nodded: "I hope so." He sighed and began to change the subject
