The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]

Perhaps it was because the first days were so sweet, as if in a dream.

Regaining what you love, reuniting after a broken mirror, and gaining all the pleasures of ordinary people that you didn't have the opportunity to experience during your lifetime...

Even though he should understand that it is impossible to fully make up for everything lost in the past, he still can't help but really immerse himself in the perfect "dream".

It took Ozymandias a long time before he realized that he would "lose" this person again.

Not to mention that both of them have actually died long ago. Even if the heroic spirits and the remnants of obsessions that are not even counted as heroic spirits can stay in this world for a long time, it does not mean that they have obtained the "future".

"That's why no matter how many years a fool lives, he's still dead-headed. Oh, it should be said, it's very satisfying."

She Zhang despised him so much at a certain moment in the middle.

At first glance, this seems completely wrong.

Actually said that a pharaoh who wantonly opened up territory and built temples and temples praising his reputation was "too satisfying"?On the contrary, "greed" is the standard equipment of a truly great king.

The king must be greedy in order to pursue development unscrupulously and try his best to get everything he wants.

Had he been easily satisfied, he would never have achieved such an achievement that posterity will glorify.

But what She Zhang said was actually not wrong.

In front of the person he loves most, Pharaoh is no longer a "greedy king".

He loves him so much, he is willing to give everything he has for him, and puts him in a higher and higher priority than himself.In terms of "affectionateness", no one should be able to surpass him.

Precisely because of such a bleak ending, the pharaoh subconsciously did not dare to "take" too much.

Just knowing that Tahir also loves him, even if he can't remember what they have experienced in the past, he can't tell him what happened after he left-enough, let's keep this peace and quiet unchanged.

He is satisfied.

"However, what's the use of being satisfied, it's useless. Some things are destined to come. If you don't think about it, it will only make you suffer in the end."

She Zhang's disdainful snort was only heard by himself.

Over the years, it has discovered a certain truth that almost pissed off the snake, and its attitude has become more and more lazy, and it is even more lazy to talk nonsense with humans who are annoyed by seeing it.

"Resuscitate him? There's no point. That nasty nightmare is a lie, and Tahir has no way to resurrect. When the obsession disappears, he who barely maintains this state and survives will of course disappear."

"You should be happy, after all, no matter whether it is morning or evening, it will end like this. It just disappeared now, and I have earned ten years in vain..."

"Tsk, it's worth it to him."

The meaning of the snake stick is unclear, and it still refuses to explain the ins and outs to the pharaoh who has always been ignorant.

It's just that, somehow, the indignation that should occupy most of it is missing from its tone, and it seems to be as plain as water after washing away the lead.

The dominant emotion may lean more towards "boredom".

In this matter, She Zhang completely lost all enthusiasm for wanting to make trouble, or to catch the idiot's sore spot with cynicism.

It has been done for thousands of years, no matter how good the spirit is, it should be tired.Not to mention, this is still a dead end for future development visible to the naked eye.

At most, it glanced coldly at the stupid Pharaoh who was still immersed in the superficial happiness, laughed at his innocence, and finally crawled away boredly and slowly.

No one can figure out what Tahir's real "obsession" is.

However, as the daily life with no ups and downs and only warmth continues, and Tahir's "physical" condition is also unknowingly deteriorating, it seems that his obsession seems to be related to this ordinary life.

It should not be all of them, but at least the life he finally got now has a considerable weight in his deeply hidden desire.

The love poem showdown with the pharaoh (wait?) was interrupted for a while, then picked up again.

Although the two did not make much significant progress in essence, at any rate, after a long time of thinking, Tahir finally did not intend to "keep a distance" from the pharaoh.

"I seem to have said something to you before."

"Well, yes - I remember everything you said to me, which sentence are you referring to?"

Ozymandias hadn't noticed the difference at that time, and thought that Tahir was just casually mentioning a small matter.

But then he realized his mistake, this is not a trivial matter, it is clearly closely related to their "future", and must be taken seriously!

Because Tahir said: "I should have told you, you are mine."

Ozymandias: "Well, of course I said that, I remember it was-"

"..."

"..."

"........."

"Once again, I said something in such a flat tone that even Yu couldn't stop his heart trembling. You really deserve to be Yu's favorite person, Tahir!"

That's right, even a noble and arrogant Pharaoh had to admit at some point that he was no match for Tahir.

Amnesia made the "perverse and arrogant" priest a lot more straightforward, and he talked a little more than before.

The most prominent manifestation of this effect is that he was able to say quite a lot of words frankly:

"In the past, although I was sure that this was the true thought in my heart, I couldn't fully accept it."

On this unexpected night, throwing away the etiquette standards engraved in the bone marrow, the blond priest sitting directly on the top step in front of the palace opened his mouth, expressing his thoughts all the time.

"Because for me, the so-called past presented in front of me, as well as the meaning of your existence, are just a 'result'."

There is only one "result" in front of me, no process, no matter how unforgettable the emotion left on it, without memory, it will be deeply touched...

He still couldn't accept it all.

You can't be manipulated by pure emotions, and lose your heart under the emotional impact that seems too strong after skipping the experience.

When Tahir didn't know who he was, he realized that he had such a stubborn arrogance.

Even if the object is "a man who loves from the heart and recognizes that the other party belongs to him", he will not easily believe him.

With the current identity of him who has lost his memory, he must conduct a thorough observation and examination of this man until he can see what is hidden in the other party's heart.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, his behavior like this is completely superfluous. He is suspicious while throwing his emotions, and it will also make the man who loves him sad.

But Tahir will not give up examining just because doing so is "redundant".

Knowing all the unknown variables and keeping them under control should have become instinctive in him.

Later, after gradually realizing what kind of person he really is—beneath the indifference is the real indifference, and what he does is not lacking in paranoia and evil—Tahir is even more sure that he must do this.

Otherwise, he would not be able to explain clearly why the "self" with such a heavy psychological defense line and such a cold inner world is so obsessed with only one person, and still persists to the point of not regretting it for a thousand years.

Ozymandias, no, Ramses.

Ramses.

Ramses... II?

What is so special about this man that he can't restrain himself, wanting to get a temperature from him that can melt him.

He just wants to get a reason that can reasonably explain all these "abnormalities" - just give him a reasonable reason.Tahir thought.

He wants to convince his stubborn and extremely critical heart.

"……So this is ah."

Only after recovering from the shock, Ozymandias was slightly startled, but there was a clear smile on his lips.

He wasn't angry at all because he was under the scrutiny of the person he trusted the most.

Just kidding, how could you get angry?Shouldn't there be a banquet immediately to celebrate the [-]-day great success!

"This is the embodiment of caring about me so much that I must seriously trace the origin. I am very happy to receive such serious love from you, Tahir!"

"I don't really care too much."

"Ok?"

"If you don't solve the question——" Tahir thought for a while, "I will feel annoyed, which can be compared to the degree of seeing a page suddenly appear in the pages of a sorted book."

Ozymandias: "Wait, did you just find out that the book was bent by a corner!"

The Pharaoh was not obviously complacent on the surface because this metaphor was greatly discounted. Although he was not being poured cold water on his head, he was obviously not convinced in his heart.

"Did I pass your scrutiny? I knew it before I gave the answer. It must be 'yes', right!"

"Maybe, probably."

"I want an exact answer."

"Passed, though only a little above the height of the river that would fill the bottom of the river."

"This time it's only a little higher than the dangerous passing line!"

First, the folded book, and the river water that was about to reveal its bottom, and the euphemism given by the sweetheart—the metaphor that is too euphemistic to appear very wonderful, shocked the Pharaoh extremely.

Of course, he has a lot of opinions on this.

But before he persistently asked Tahir to answer with a straightforward description, the Pharaoh paused, and carefully savored these few words.

"Well."

He temporarily decided to change the subject.

It must be mentioned here that because Tahir sat down on the steps on a whim, the pharaoh came out in the dark and sat down on the ground without dislike.

In a prosperous dynasty thousands of years ago, the two most prominent men at that time sat side by side so easily.

One is the king, and the other is the priest who serves the king.

What they crossed was not only the shackles of so-called etiquette, but also the restriction of "identity" that could not be crossed at that time.

Such a scene, such intimacy, was unimaginable for people a thousand years ago, and it will be hard for people a thousand years later to believe it.

But it does exist.

"It's the other way around, this time I can ignore the process, as long as I'm happy with the result."

Pharaoh changed his mind and suddenly became enlightened. Thinking that he still got the most precious thing in the world, he couldn't help laughing happily.

"Hahaha, hahahahahahaha—"

"It's noisy."

"...Tahir!"

"It's really noisy."

Tahir really spoke his heart out, but the Pharaoh didn't like to listen to his heartfelt words, so he really didn't know what to do.

That being the case, Ozymandias has to start the next topic.

The long, winding ladder couldn't support Wang's long straight legs perfectly, so he simply retracted one leg and stepped on the edge of the step next to where he was sitting, which was just convenient for him to turn sideways.

The blond priest, who was also covered with a white cloth in the night, was looking up, as if he wanted to see the invisible night through the hazy white.

The moon was just full tonight, and the moonlight filled the world without any hindrance, and the clouds illuminated by light silver light spread across the sky, which looked extraordinarily beautiful.

Such a beautiful scenery, it would be a pity if no one appreciates it together.

And he was accompanied by someone, but because of his own reasons, he couldn't see the moonlight clearly in front of him, so ten points turned into twelve points.

"You are sure now, it is the same reason that I belong to you, and you belong to me."

Wang stretched out his hand and hugged his lover, regardless of his slight resistance, he just wanted to hug him into his arms - in an intimate position where one person was behind and the other was sitting on his lap.

With distaste, he untied the cloth strip that was in the way, so that his lover's eyes could see the moonlight.

Although on such a beautiful day, it is a pity that lovers cannot look at each other.But Wang believes that it is more important for him to enjoy this quiet moon with himself than to look at himself.

"Since I have passed your scrutiny, that is, the test, in turn, I also want to ask you a few questions. It is not to the extent of the test, but I personally want to know."

Wang's voice was upright and confident in the front, but when it came to the back, he paused for a moment for some reason.

"Tahir, I want you to know that my love for you cannot be expressed in any words in the world. How deep it is can only be proved by time and facts."

"Of course I don't doubt your love for me—you must believe it. But, just treat it as a meaningless self-esteem and comparison for me!"

Pharaoh said, "Can you tell me how much you love me by using an analogy, just like you did just now?"

Using your lover as an excuse to secretly investigate yourself, to exchange for the other party's aspirations openly... It seems that there is a lack of confidence, which is not what a king should do.

But only on "this issue", the king, who is not afraid of anything else, hesitated.

He used a natural tone to cover up the unnaturalness on his face.

Of course, with such a cover-up, it is even more impossible for Ozymandias to admit that he was even a little nervous about the answer he might get next.

——Except for an answer like "I love you so much that I can't extricate myself, only a little less than the flood of the Nile River", there is no other possibility!

Referring to Tahir's wonderful analogy, the pharaoh, who was actually not so sure in his heart, kept his face and quietly created an analogy based on the formation, and consciously defaulted that the flood was more turbulent.

... maybe a little bit maybe not so much?

But at least it has the level of the Nile River that does not flood!

These times of uneasiness showed that the feeling of unreality in Pharaoh's heart has not completely disappeared now.

He knew that Tahir loved him, but he didn't know how much Tahir loved him.

Just the existence of love made him so ecstatic, if he could go a little further—forget it, even a king can't be so greedy.

Therefore, Ozymandias only hopes to get a more definite answer to prove whether he is really very lucky.

"... Chi."

—Who laughed?

At a place so close that the sound of breathing was so clear, someone actually laughed.

Moreover, as if he had completely seen through the pharaoh's mind, the man opened his mouth after a while, and the analogy he made happened to be exactly the same as the one that the pharaoh had casually thought of.

The man staring straight at the full moon said softly, "My love for you is probably greater than the flood of the Nile River..."

A little less, just a little less?That's not bad.Pharaoh was thinking so happily.

"A little more."

"……what!"

"Probably a little higher than the peaks that go straight to the top of the clouds, a little deeper than the unsearchable seabed, better than the word of mouth of poets, and a little thicker and deeper than the limit of everything you can think of."

"Ta... Hill?"

Ozymandias obviously never thought that he would get such an answer.

Can't predict it at all.He didn't see him clearly from the beginning to the end, and he completely underestimated him, underestimated the way he treated him——

...Do you love it?

"If I were complete and knew everything, I would definitely not say these words, even if everything they point to is true."

It was indeed Tahir who was chuckling.

The blond young man bathed in the moonlight seemed to be shining with holy brilliance. He opened his eyes, and his blue eyes, which were as clear as a mirror, seemed to be able to be included in the entire starry sky.

During the long years together, his "scrutiny" was not only on "Ramesses", but more on himself.

He saw it.

He also seemed relieved.

Inside this miraculously assembled body, there was originally only darkness.

It's not that there is no light source that can be called bright, but it is tightly entangled by countless black silk threads that intertwine, and it has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and there is no chance for the light to dispel the darkness.

But now, with an imperceptible sound, the heavy black threads like chains began to break.

Starting from the outermost layer, layer by layer collapsed and collapsed, allowing the faint light that was originally blocked to finally illuminate the closed heart.

Now, most of the "chains" have been untied.

"I don't mind saying more if it pleases you to tell the truth."

The incomparably frank Tahir gave people a completely different feeling from the usual indifference.

He seemed relieved, and became so relaxed that his whole body became sluggish under the moonlight, and he slowly leaned back.

When he leaned up to a certain arc, he could almost see the arc of the man's jaw behind him with his straight eyes, without waiting for anyone to stop him, Tahir closed his eyes first.

Lying on the man's warm embrace, the lazy priest still whispered, the curve of his lips still lingering: "Only for tonight, if you miss it, there will be no next chance. You know Are you there, Ramses?"

The Pharaoh still couldn't fully understand how deep the "love" for him was from the half-unshackled blond lover.

For the first time and the last time, Tahir confessed his love words to him without any concealment. Every sentence made his chest burn, and he almost abandoned the dignity of the king, and shed tears in embarrassment.

No, this is absolutely not the only thing.

But his lowered gaze was so soft.

No matter how dazzling and fiery the light was during the day, all of it lost its sharpness in the golden eyes of the king at this time, and he could no longer show himself ostentatiously.

"You're too cunning, and you underestimate me too much. I don't mean to compete with you, but—hmm, I swear by the king of kings, the incarnation of Ra and Amon, Ramses II, I My love for you cannot be underestimated."

"Yes, if you want to talk, I can also listen."

"The dazzling gold will be covered by dust, the prosperous dynasty will decay and overturn over time, and the long holy river will dry up one day. But as long as the sun's light remains unchanged, it will remain The sky shines on the earth, and Yu's feelings for you will never fade away."

"But the sun will set, and the sun will recede below the horizon."

"——that's just the sun for the world. In your world, I want to drive away all the darkness you hate, and then use my own warmth to keep you behind."

"Oh, how lucky, how happy."

Tahir smiled lowly: "I really feel this warmth now."

He fell into a deep sleep in the arms of the king, until the moon fell and the sun rose, he fell into a deep sleep and never woke up.

I don't know if he was brought by drowsiness, whether he entered a dreamland that was more beautiful than reality.

Maybe so.

Because he didn't wake up for a long, long time.

Pharaoh was very anxious about this, but he had to realize that he actually had a premonition that this would inevitably come.

"I've said it all, it's already a miracle that he can maintain this strange state."

She Zhang finally spoke listlessly at this moment, of course avoiding Sakura who was completely unaware.

"The obsession has completely dissipated, and even the most basic support for existence is gone. Of course he will die, or a complete death. There will be no afterlife, and there will be no ghosts left. Even becoming a heroic spirit like you Impossible, he is an unknown person who has been artificially erased from history."

Listening to these words in my ears, although it is completely unappealing, it is indeed true that hateful is hateful.

Ozymandias knows better than anyone.

He didn't vent his anger on the Snake Stick, instead of doing that meaningless thing, he might as well find a way to solve the urgent task.

"History... oh, history that was written wantonly by future generations. I have one thing to do."

Snake Staff: "?"

Snake Staff: "Hey, stupid pharaoh, wait for me, don't tell me you want to... wait!!! You are dead already! Just a heroic spirit! Do you still want to—"

She Zhang: "Damn!! I already know that I shouldn't talk too much!"

It was a natural disaster, and the old man who was (probably) a snake all these years suffered again.

Sakura had just entered the first year of high school when she heard that her father and adults were going on a trip to relax.

"I won't be gone for too long, don't worry, I will come back before you invite your sister to your house." Said the father who always hahaha, but at this time he was inexplicably unable to laugh.

"Is Mr. Snake Zhang going too?"

"Well, it has something to do."

"Then... I understand."

Sakura was silent for a moment, then showed a smiling face as if she hadn't noticed anything, and then watched off her parents who hadn't left her for ten years.

The destination of this trip is Egypt, a country located in another vast land.
