Ariel is an excellent businessman. The goods he chooses are always as popular as the water in the desert, just like the first-class silk he has just sold. He always has a way to get this kind of banned goods, and he can pass through all the checkpoints smoothly.
People in many places said that he must have been to the mysterious oriental empire in person, and some people even exaggerate that he was the guest of honor of the mysterious oriental emperor. When Ariel heard such rumors, he never confirmed or refuted them.
He is a man of no words and no smiles. He is very familiar with the business route that has been going back and forth for many generations in this family. He knows exactly where there is what kind of danger, what kind of monarch, what kind of character.
But this time, his serious face was full of worry.
More than half a month ago, when he asked people to go out for information, he heard some rumors that the Nile had frozen.
Other places may be, but this is Egypt full of deserts. He has never heard of such a thing in his whole life. He, his father and grandfather have been walking along this business road for many years, and they have never seen such a strange thing.
Ariel thinks it's probably just a deliberate rumor. Maybe there will be another war.
But the colder and colder he went towards the Nile, the more uneasy he was. How could it get colder and colder in the desert? And it's so cold?
Until today, he finally came to the edge of the Nile. In the cold, his eyes were expressionless, but in his heart, he looked at the frozen Nile.
It's freezing!
Miracles?
Warning!?
He's very upset, very upset!
If this time's business is the same as in previous years, even if there is more superior silk, or more dangerous, for example, there is Oriental Poria cocos hidden in the pack team, which is also from the mysterious East and can cure some unspeakable aristocratic diseases. Even if it is such a valuable thing, Ariel can still be light hearted, at least he will not feel guilty.
But not this time.
This time, he took the biggest adventure in the history of family business.
In his caravan, there were several "people" from the north. These "people" were burned everywhere. Some people called them demons.
The relationship between the Ariel family and these "people" dates back many years. Today, the relationship has been very stable and deeply involved.
In recent years, some major events have taken place in the north, and the families of these "people" are also involved in them. Now, when he seeks his help, he needs to take the risk to smuggle these "people" out of the north and arrive in Egypt.
It's not a good business. It's very dangerous, but he can't refuse it unless the family can afford to lose all the businesses in the north.
Ariel made full use of all kinds of resources of his family and his excellent reputation in various parts of the business road. He carefully brought these "people" here. He was very nervous along the way, and was almost found several times. Fortunately, he was not in danger.
Beyond the Nile, his mission is about to be completed.
The destination of those "people" is coming, and his task is to send them to one of the pyramids.
If someone finds out that he smuggles these "people" here, he will surely be hanged. No matter how powerful the family is, he will not be able to protect him. He will be cut clean with him quickly. Even if the family finally agrees with the business, he must bear the risk alone.
Ariel worried to return to the temporary rental camp, face like water into a secret room.
There are five people sitting quietly in the room.
These "people" are very young, but it is usually difficult to see their age from their appearance. They seem to be so young forever.
If Ariel had not known each other's family for many years, it would have been impossible to know whether these "people" were really the "people" of the younger generation.
Ariel walked into the room, and the other party had already noticed him.
He said to the leader of the five men, "Nika, the Nile is really frozen."
The leader, who is called Nika, has a completely opposite brilliance to the worried Ariel, full of indescribable surprise and excitement.
But he knew Ariel's worry, well concealed his surprise, comforted each other and said: "you really don't have to worry. This is just a business. We have said many times that we are not demons. You don't have to bear any burden for this. One day, you will see our evidence, and those who live in huge castles and rely on thick armor The aristocratic lords protected by the Knights are the real vampires. "
"We are the real people of God," he said enthusiastically, full of faith
Similar words, Ariel has heard them countless times from the other family's large population. He has heard them since he was a child when he first went north with his grandfather, which can't make any waves in his heart.
Business with the north is not very legal. After all, people have different beliefs. However, business with the devil is not allowed anywhere.Although Ariel is not a fanatic of faith, he still has a sense of fear and blasphemy in the face of such miracles as the freezing of the Nile.
He may have done something wrong. God may be warning.
But he can't go back. Even if the Nile freezes, he has to finish the business.
Otherwise, he will lose not only all the family business in the north, but also the lives of himself and all the members of the caravan.
With no other choice, he could only maximize the huge risks of this business for all interests. He concealed all his worries and turned to greedy and reasonable demands for increase: "before, we didn't know that such a terrible warning would happen, so you must agree to all the conditions we put forward for the first time, otherwise it would be unfair."
Nica also conceals the instant disdain when he says this to Ariel. He looks down on such a person, but he and his family need such a person, and even more need Ariel's extraordinary reputation and ability on this business road, so he has to smile gratefully:
"Ariel, you are our closest friend, there is no need to worry about that I doubt that your request is very reasonable at this moment. We will never fail our friends. That's it. We agree to your first request. "
Ariel breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was more worried. The other side agreed to the maximum conditions he put forward in the first negotiation. Obviously, the freezing of the Nile is great good news for these "people".
Is the good news of the devil good news for people?
Ariel dare not think, leave the room, ready to cross the river work.
More than ten days later, one night when the starry sky shrouded the earth, Ariel took the caravan to camp in the wild. The camp was not far away from each other's destination pyramid.
His task is finished after tonight. His ability and reputation make the task finished on time.
But he was not relaxed at all. He always felt that he had done a terrible thing.
Tonight's starry sky is unprecedented bright and brilliant, as if all the stars are watching here, making Ariel shudder.
It was so cold at night near the pyramids that he had to wear cotton padded clothes to leave the tent and watch the "people" leave.
He waited for the men to disappear into the stars before Ariel returned to his tent.
But he couldn't sleep until after midnight.
Before dawn, it was often said that it was the darkest time when he suddenly heard a commotion in the camp.
Ariel, who was extremely upset, even forgot to put on his cotton padded clothes and rushed out of the tent.
As soon as he got out of the tent, he saw a young "man" with blood all over him rushing towards him in horror.
He knew the name of the young man, Murphy. He didn't speak much and didn't know what happened. He was the only one who came back from the five "people" who went to the pyramid!
"Where's Nika?" Ariel also asked in alarm.
"Dead, all dead, the devil, the devil!" Murphy didn't know what he was stimulated by. His eyes were full of panic after psychological collapse!
Ariel's heart immediately panicked, but he could barely keep a trace of calm. He looked up at the direction of the pyramid, and was stunned. He also knew why there was a riot in the camp.
Above the top of the pyramid, where the sky is full of stars, I do not know when a huge sphere of ice and snow appears, as if it is the earth of another world.
On a mountain in that land, there stands a "Palace" of strange style, grand and mysterious. Together with the ice and snow land, it stands upside down and faces the pyramid from afar.
Ariel's breathing seemed to have stopped, leaving only his heart pounding.
Is that the devil's world, the devil's "Palace"!?
God, what did I do?
At this time, in the pyramid, a cold voice said to himself, "what's wrong? Where's that Ho? "
At the same time, in a County Yamen in the mysterious East, the old magistrate Liu drank wine early in the morning and didn't care to deal with the affairs of the county. Now the whole court is arguing about auspicious omens, and the magistrate Liu is also trying to report another auspicious omen.
It's only hateful that the range of auspicious omens he can think of can't be separated from those records in books. People are not surprised for a long time. At first sight, there's nothing new. He has been preempted by others for a long time. Such auspicious omens, let alone the emperor's eyes.
County Magistrate Liu is lying in the yard, basking in the rare good sun, squinting at the sky, and under the influence of drinking power, he vaguely fantasizes that when he can get a "heavenly book" that will fall from the sky, and from then on, he has made great progress
In his fantasy, he seemed to see the colorful God cloud and the heavenly palace. A real immortal floated down and came to the world!
If it's not a dream, look, there are fairies around me
When Liu county magistrate thought so regretfully, the county government was in chaos.
Liu county magistrate, who was calm and solemn, was very dissatisfied. He opened his eyes slightly and was drunk. He wanted to scold the people who didn't obey the etiquette.However, his mouth could not make any sound when he grew up. A servant from his hometown came in from the gate of the courtyard. He didn't know whether he was frightened or excited. He called to him: "a Lang, a Lang, it's a fairy, a fairy..."
County Magistrate Liu shuddered and finally closed his mouth abruptly. The first thing he thought of was not to welcome the legendary immortal to the world, but to shout: "where's Chu San? What about Chu San? Hurry, hurry, prepare the paper and ink, I want to report, report, report - "
at this time, he seems to see the respect of thousands of people waving to him!
What a fairy!
It was three years ago, the auspicious year of Dazhong and the auspicious year of Dazhong.
