However, he was so young that he looked only about 20 years old. His skin exposed to his clothes showed a bronze metallic luster. He was wearing armor without a helmet. He was decorated with bright pearls on his chest and embroidered ribbons on his shoulders. He is a man of great stature, with short hair and curled bun. He has a high nose and deep eye socket. His eyes are clear and deep, which seems to have magic power.
Darius, surrounded by his own guards, passed through a small town. This is a market town spontaneously formed beside the official road for passers-by and traders to rest. It is also a place for several villages nearby to trade goods and buy various commodities. The city of Kish was not destroyed by war in the area east of the Euphrates. The army of sinah did not arrive here, and Darius attacked Kish almost without fighting. Therefore, there was little damage in this area, just like before the war.
There is a small tavern beside the road. In front of the door is an open courtyard. There is no courtyard wall on the side facing the official road. There are several tables and stools on the open space, beside which there are a series of horse pegs and stone troughs that provide water and feed for horses. There is no large post station in such a small market town, and such pubs are often seen beside the official roads, mainly for travelling merchants to stop and drink horses.
This is the commercial road from the ferry on the upper reaches of the Euphrates River to the hinterland of balun. It was once very prosperous, but in the time of war, there are fewer visitors than before. See the army passing by, only children in the town curiously hide in the corner to look around, and then was called back home by adults, quickly closed the door.
Even the tavern owner who did business hid in the room and looked out through the window. However, there were two guests sitting at the table in the courtyard, each occupying a table. They drank slowly there, as if they had never seen the murderous army marching along the road.
A gust of wind blew, and Darius's well-trained bodyguards suddenly heard a strange smell of wine, which was the best wine in the world. How could they smell it in this small town? Although there has been no war in Kish city-state, the local people's livelihood and economy are certainly not as good as before due to the impact of surrounding wars. Luxury goods are the first to suffer the greatest impact.
Wine consumed grain. During the war, the supply of wine was inevitably insufficient, especially the expensive and scarce fine wine. How could it appear in such a tavern?
This kind of roadside town tavern now sells wine that is turbid and light, and sour and astringent, which is often drunk by drivers on the mainland. Although the pro guards were surprised in their hearts, none of them looked back and saw that the horse's hooves were not in a mess, and subconsciously raised their vigilance. ——Even if the real elite soldiers don't realize the danger, even if there is a trace of abnormal atmosphere in the surrounding environment, they will be on guard.
At this time, at a command, the guard of honor at the front of the line suddenly stopped. At the same time, they reined almost without making too much noise. Then the order to stop the March passed to the rear. It was like a surge, and the whole army array stopped. There was no one to speak or the sound of weapons and armor colliding. There was a sense of fright on the official road.
After the guards separated, Darius dismounted and handed his sword to suicong. He strode into the semi open courtyard. Everyone in the town was scared. I didn't know what the army was doing here? Looking at the majestic general entering the tavern, the boss hid behind the window, his legs were weak. He should have come out to greet the guests, but he could not move with the help of the windowsill.
Darius went to a table, pulled up his stool and sat down. "Good wine. I didn't expect that in this kind of place, you can drink this kind of wine from the world."
Facing him was a young man in a gray and white linen robe. His face was handsome and his face was peaceful. His facial features were full of firmness. With a smile, he stretched out his hand and took out a cup out of thin air. He lifted the wine pot on the table to fill a full glass of wine for Darius. He pushed it slowly and said, "the nose of the general is very smart. Are you dismounting for this glass of wine?"
Darius laughed: "wine should be a hero's drink. Now I lead the army to the border of eju, but I hear the people calling for a general named Amun. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really predestined!"
It was amon who sat opposite Darius. He raised his eyebrow slightly with his glass. "Darius, do you know me?"
Darius replied, "your statue is standing in Salem. I have been there. The master sculptor is like you. Anyone who has seen you can recognize you. Why ask me that? You were the general of eju at that time, and I am the general of Boz now. You must have heard that eju has just shown his surrender to Boz. Is he waiting for me when he appears here? "
"I'm drinking. You came by yourself," Amun said
Darius raised his glass and said, "to you, as a general on the battlefield, to your legend!"
Darius knew who was sitting in front of him, but he was not afraid. His subordinates were strict in military discipline, and none of the guards came to him without orders. The whole army was waiting quietly on the official road. When they spoke, they used their magic skills to gather the voice. Only he and Amun could hear the conversation.
Amun raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp: "I admire your courage a little bit. Knowing who I am, I dare to walk alone."
Darius said with a smile: "you are the one to admire. Even if you are Amun God, you can't bear to be surrounded by the elite battle array of the undead team Amun, you once attacked Lucille, the king of hadith, and appeared in the hunting ground where sinnah was assassinated. Are you here today to assassinate me? In front of the army, it's not called assassin, but a decisive battle aloneAmun shook his head. "I'm not here to assassinate you. I'm just a little curious. I want to see with my own eyes what kind of person defeated Gerry? I am a God, and according to the agreement of the gods, I will not directly attack a mortal. If I really want to kill you, I will send an emissary to look for you. Then you should be careful. "
Darius's laughter suddenly grew so loud that the air around him was humming and even the table top was shaking. He said with a smile, "so do you see it clearly? It was I who defeated Gore, and I also defeated anuna's Apocalypse system. Anu was defeated by me both on earth and in the kingdom of God. "
This time it was Amun's turn to be surprised. When Darius laughed wildly, there was a breath that he was very familiar with. The general in front of him seemed to have known each other - Marduk! Amun put down his glass and whispered, "Darius, it's you?"
Darius, however, had a different answer: "in the world, I am Darius now! You must be curious how I did it? This is another realm of my verification, which you can call the embodiment of the evidence. "
With the words, Amun's mind printed into a piece of information, explaining the identity of the general who was drinking, which was extremely mysterious. In front of Amun, both Marduk and general Darius of Boz were sitting in front of him. However, Marduk, the God, was creating his kingdom in the immortal eternity. He did not come to the world to become a martyr in the way of soul rebirth like Anu.
When he came to the world, Darius was him, and when he stayed in the kingdom of God, Darius's thoughts and experiences on earth were equal to his experiences. This incarnation is a person in the world. He was born in the noble family of bohemimenid tribe. He was gifted, intelligent and brave since he was young. He made many miraculous achievements at a young age. He was appointed as a general by Cyrus.
So Darius would say to amon that both Anu and Gore were defeated by him. This realm is different from pure separation. In fact, after Amun has broken through level 9, he can be separated into another identity to act. After becoming a God, he can also change various forms to face the world, but they are different from Darius.
What Darius has done in the world is the proof of Marduk. His experience is the knowledge of Marduk, and the power of cultivation will become the power of Marduk. Whether Darius can transcend immortality or not, as long as he comes to the world and confirms what Marduk wants to prove, it will be perfect. When Marduk came to the world, he was Darius, and Darius would have the power of Marduk.
Today's Amun can't do this, nor can Anu, the creation God of anuna's Apocalypse system, nor can Anu, the creation God of the Jiulian system, but Marduk has. Amun has been exploring a higher realm of existence, and Darius or Marduk in front of him has given him a good confirmation, which is worthy of careful consideration.
Amun was stunned and asked in a deep voice, "why do you want to tell me this?"
Darius's smile seemed naive: "just like a child, dressed in a new dress, or like an adult, who gets a good position, he can't help showing off to his neighbors. Now I am very lonely, who else can experience my feeling at the moment? Only you, amon. Thank you for coming here to prepare wine for me. It's very considerate of you
A masked face expressionless continue to pour wine: "I have to thank you, at least you give me an inspiration."
Marduk's smile became a little more cunning: "if I said that, I would thank you even more. I heard that you have a title called emperor killer, where you appear, there will always be a human emperor to be unlucky! I came to pick you up this time, but I met you outside Kish. If according to the itinerary of Cyrus the great, he should have arrived at the city this afternoon. I'm afraid I can't.
As a god like you, I will not attack a mortal directly unless he challenges me. What's more, I have my promise that I can't hurt a monarch who believes in me. If I cut off Darius, the incarnation of Darius, I would not go beyond this status in the world, otherwise I would not be able to prove it. If someone succeeds in assassinating Cyrus, he may be helping me. Let me say in private how much I appreciate it! "
Amun's face changed slightly, and he suddenly realized a situation that he had not expected in advance. If Semir and Faust had succeeded in killing Cyrus, they would not have saved the Assyrian Empire. The assassination was based on the speculation that once Cyrus died, the potz ministries would fall into civil strife and the newly established provinces would fall apart.
Now it seems that if Cyrus were to die, it would be inevitable for all the tribes of Boz to seize power. However, there was such a general with a heavy army in his hands. His talent was no less than that of Cyrus. He could take this opportunity to clean up the situation and ascend to the throne. Amun even saw that Darius would become a more dazzling emperor of Boz in the world.
According to the plan made on the night of the bright moon, the action of assassinating Cyrus should be today. No matter whether it is successful or not, the result has been decided at the moment. Even if Amun wants to stop it, it will be too late. With Darius here, Cyrus is immortal, and the end result is the same for the Assyrian Empire.
However, Darius just sat in front of him to drink and use his magic skills to hold his voice and talk with Amun. At the moment, Amun could not get accurate information from afar, so he could only sit here to drink with him and listen to the pompous general talking with him.Amun raised his glass again and said, "Marduk, I want to congratulate you, another emperor Boz on earth!"
Darius raised his glass with a smile and said, "you'd better call me Darius. As for the throne of Boz, I'm afraid it will take some time for him to get the throne. If there is no civil strife, there will be no such opportunity. I can't do more than Darius in the world. I may have to work a little bit to get things done. Did you send an emissary to join in the killing of Cyrus? Don't worry. The envoys under my command will not participate. Whether they can escape depends on their own ability. "
Amun's mood has been calm, light way: "what do you have to be happy? Get ready to go back to Boz and make peace! General Darius, no matter how skillful he is, will take a few years. "
Darius was still laughing: "of course I am happy. Although I can't meet Cyrus, God Amun has set up the most beautiful wine in the world to wait for me, the future emperor of Boz. Just as I said when I sat down - wine should be a hero's drink!"
At this time, a very impatient voice sounded: "wine should be a hero drink? Make no mistake, wine should be shared with beauty! The so-called hero always drinks strong liquor or bitter wine. As gods, do you need to sit here with the best wine in the world? It's boring! When you enter the world, you have to drink the wine here in such a pub. That's the fun
At the same time, the two gods were shocked and turned to look at a corner of the courtyard. There was originally a man sitting there. Although Amun and Darius had paid attention to them just now, they did not find any abnormality and left him alone. When they spoke, they were cut off from the sound, not to mention that the soldiers on the official road could not even be heard by other gods.
But the man heard it. Not only did he hear it, but he also penetrated the isolated space and sent the sound to amon and Darius' ears. Darius turned and asked, "who are you and why are you here?"
The man stood up and put down his glass, which was sour and astringent, which was sold in this pub. He was a middle-aged man who had not been noticed when he had just sat there. Now when he got up to speak, he had an air of dignity which was not visible, even in front of Darius and amon.
He waved his hand with a smile and said, "I don't mean to eavesdrop on you. It's you who just want to sit by me and talk about it, just like you're telling me."
Amun stood up and saluted, "who are you, please?"
The middle-aged man had broad shoulders and thick back, long golden hair and long beard, and his blue eyes seemed to have no bottom. He said with a smile: "I came to the world to pick up girls. I happened to pass by! You go on talking. I'm going to look for my wine lady. How beautiful the world is and how wonderful life is. Why do you work so hard in vain
With that, he put the money on the table, walked away with his hands behind his back, and disappeared through the army line on the official road. And those soldiers with distinctive armor were still standing in line, and no one saw him!
Darius and amon looked at each other, and Darius, who had been showing off just now, was somewhat uninterested. He asked Amon, "do you know this man?"
Amun shook his head. "Never before."
Darius said to himself, "he can hear us and let us see that he is not yet visible, and that no one around him can see him. Among the gods who can do this, I only think of Anla and Anu, but they can't be the two of them. Is it... "
Amon answered for him, "Zeus."
Darius patted the table: "yes, it should be him, Zeus, the Lord of Olympus God system! What is he doing here? "
Amun shrugged his shoulders. "He said he was here to pick up girls. He happened to pass by."
Darius: what a coincidence
Amun sighed: "it's really a coincidence that the three most powerful gods in Tianshu are drinking in such a tavern at the same time. I can't believe it, but it happened
Darius was the incarnation of Marduk. Amun realized that Semir and Faust's assassination of Cyrus was a futile adventure. However, when people live in the world, they always have to do something for their vows. But in Marduk's view, this is equivalent to indirectly helping him, so when he carries the wine across from Amun, he looks like a child showing off his new clothes.
But Zeus suddenly appeared and left, and at the same time, they did not know what the Lord of Olympus God wanted to do? This world's best wine has no taste, the two powerful gods on the mainland, as if feeling a kind of beyond control unknown.
At this time, there are three flying shuttles roaring from the sky, and the magic master who controls the flying shuttles is crazy on his way at the extreme speed regardless of his magic power. The officers and men on the official road were not aware of it, while Darius and Amun found something. Darius nodded and said, "Congratulations, it seems that someone has succeeded in assassinating Cyrus."
Amun shook his head and said, "I should say congratulations to you, general Darius, the future emperor Boz! Take this drink and leave. You have your world, and I will go to find my kingdom of heaven and fulfill my vows, guidance and salvation. "**
