When Faust possessed her, Magan Tears trembled all over her body. She never dreamed that Master Sage would do this, but he really did it, and the girl was willing from the bottom of her heart. Magan Tears even felt a sacrifice, and she was willing to make Faust happy.
One day she asked Faust: "There are more and more rumors in the imperial capital, but there are fewer and fewer official news from the front line. Is the situation of the empire very difficult? Maybe I shouldn't ask you, but I always feel sadness in your eyes."
Faust caressed her tender body and said, "Yes, the situation of the empire is very difficult, and people hope for me, but I don't know how to face those eyes. Only with you can I feel relaxed, as if I don't have to think about anything for the time being. Life is short, why not let us look for happiness together?"
Maganchi hugged him and answered the question with his body. Faust felt that he had fallen, and he also lured Maganchi to fall with him. This made him feel even more entangled, but also obsessed with it.
Maganchi often went out to have a secret meeting with Faust. Every time he went home, he had a strange blush on his face. Days passed day by day, and the girl became a charming young woman, but she still maintained her youthful charm, as if it was a miracle. This caused discussion among neighbors, and gradually the wind came out, and Maganchi had a man outside. His family vaguely heard some rumors and had not yet pursued them. The bad news came at this moment - Hisam died on the battlefield.
The news brought back were wounded soldiers withdrawn from the front line. The Assyrian Empire lost the six newly occupied city-states in the south, and the situation on the front line was very chaotic. The official news and pensions from the Emperor's unit were not sent to the Xism's house, but the comrades who returned to the city of Neve told Xism's family that Xism died in a battle.
Magan was very sad in tears, and at the same time she felt a little relieved. She was finally relieved. Since Hisam was dead, she could go to a tryst with Faust and no more burdens were required. She told Faust the news and asked Faust to help her a bottle of magic medicine, because Hisam's mother was very ill.
The old lady who had abused Maganchi fell ill after hearing the news of her son's death. No doctor could save her life that was missing. Faust once gave Maganchi a bottle of magical medicine, which not only quickly cured the crack in her hand, but also made her hands more flexible. In Maganchi's mind, Faust himself was like a god, and there must be medicine that could save the old lady's life.
But Faust told Maganle that there is no magical medicine in this world that can prevent mortals from dying. The old lady is old and suffers severe damage to her body and mind. The fire of life is about to be extinguished, and no one can keep it, even the gods can do nothing.
Magan tear begged Faust, even if he couldn't save the old lady's life in the end, he didn't want to see her waiting for death in pain. There must be medicine to make the old lady feel comfortable and forget the pain. Faust thought about it and let Magan tear come back in two days.
Two days later, Faust gave Magan Tears a bottle of medicine and a spoon, and specifically reminded him: "According to your requirements, this is the best medicine in the world, which can make people feel comfortable and not feel pain. But it cannot cure the old lady's illness, and can only make her feel pain free until death comes. You must make it clear that you can only take it once a day, and only one spoon at a time, otherwise it will be harmful."
Of course, Faust was the best pharmacy master in the Assyrian Empire. He gave Magan a powerful analgesic, and also had a magical effect of anesthesia and soothing the soul. It can even stimulate people's life potential, but it must not be taken in excess of the dose, otherwise it will fall into an illusory pleasure, which is not only easy to addiction but may also endanger life.
The method of making this medicine is the secret of the temple. It is very precious and is often carried by only noble generals with honorable status on the battlefield. It allows warriors to forget the pain in battle and temporarily burst out with their greatest potential. If they are seriously injured, this painkiller can still save lives at critical moments. This bottle in Maganlei's hand was refined by Faust, so it is naturally the best effect.
When Maganchi returned with the medicine, Faust said again: "Since Hisam is dead, you are free, so leave that family. You don't owe them anything. If you are not at ease with anything else, I can order the title of Hisam and give their family a heavy pension."
Magan cried in Faust's arms, and was so grateful that he could hardly speak. Finally, he raised his head and said, "I am willing to give you everything, as long as you feel happy. But where can I go after I leave Hisham's house?"
Faust replied: "I bought this house for you. You have the skills to support yourself and live a good life. Isn't this what you want?... It's a pity that I'm very busy recently, and I'm afraid I can't see you for a while."
Magan stroked his chest with tears and said, "Sage National Master, you are not only my god, but also the hope of the entire Assyrian Empire. Although I don't know much about national affairs, there are so many wounded soldiers coming back from the front line, and the atmosphere in Neveh City is becoming more and more tense, and the entire empire must be in crisis. Don't delay national affairs because of me. Thank you very much for ordering to comfort Xism's family, but if the Assyrian Empire does not exist, such an order will be meaningless."
...
The Assyrian Empire was indeed in crisis, and the expanded territory of Emperor Sinach's Great was taken away again. The remaining troops on the front line retreated, and the new men who had migrated were now in a downturn. How to accept and resettle these people is the most troublesome problem in Assyria at present. If it is not handled well, there will be a change. Semir sent Faust to the front line to reorganize the remnants, accept, appease, and deal with refugees withdrawn from the country. Only this Sage National Master can do this.
Faust was busy at the border for many days, and finally he had to deal with it almost all. Semir urgently recruited him back to the emperor and had important matters to discuss. Faust rushed back to Neveh from the border to meet the queen.
Time made Semir more mature, but her charm was still there. She had a special temperament that always attracted Faust, and she seemed so strong in any situation. But Faust knew very well how much patience and helpless this seemingly determined warrior had experienced. She thought she was not willing to marry Sinach, but she still married. She might not want to become the queen, but she still ascended the throne.
Now the Assyrian Empire is in turmoil. How much Faust hopes that Semir can show the weak side deep in his heart to him to cherish and comfort him. However, Semir's expression is still so calm and calm. After Sinach's death, the queen never showed warmth, even when talking about critical things, she still showed this.
Semir first expressed his condolences to Faust's recent hardship and said something unintentionally: "I heard you greeted the military headquarters, gave a generous tribute to an officer named Xism, and posthumously awarded him a title."
Faust replied with some surprise: "Your Majesty is actually concerned about such a small matter. Is there anything wrong with me?"
Semir shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong. The soldiers who sacrificed for the country should be well placed, let alone the people you care about. But it is easy to provide one person with pension, but there are so many soldiers who were killed and injured. The families of the deceased need pensions, and the injured need treatment and care. At present, the national treasury is empty and is not enough. What can the national tuition do you have to solve the urgent problem?"
Faust frowned and said, "Losing the property and taxes of the six city-states, there are so many wounded soldiers who need to be resettled, and so many families need to be pensioned. It is beyond the burden of the empire's finances at once. But it is not possible to deal with it well. At present, there is only one way that may be given. "
Faust's suggestion was to reminisce coins. The Assyrian Empire issued a new currency to replace the divine stones and gold that could be circulated in the Tianshu continent, and then to provide pensions to the soldiers in the form of imperial currency, so that they could temporarily overcome the difficulties.
Semir frowned: "Is this really useful?"
Faust replied: "It will definitely be useful and can temporarily solve the financial crisis. But its consequences may be serious and will cause soaring prices. Money must be bought to be valuable. If the Assyrian Empire cannot restore prosperity, what is done today is nothing more than prescribe anesthesia and pain-relieving medicine to a terminally ill person, and it is also harmful to the body."
Semir sighed, "But even though he knows this, he must do this. Just like that patient, if he does not take this medicine, he will immediately die of pain. If he takes this medicine, although it is harmful, he still has the opportunity to use other methods to cure the disease in the future. How can the national master eliminate the consequences of doing this in the future?"
Faust pondered: "If the Assyrian Empire can restore its national strength and increase its resources and trade prosperity, it will naturally be able to digest the disaster."
Semir looked straight into his eyes and asked, "Master National Master, the most knowledgeable and wisest person in the entire empire, do you think the Assyrian Empire can wait for that day?"
Faust was silent. He did not dare to meet the queen's sight. He lowered his head and replied for a long time: "If the Assyrian Empire does not exist, does Your Majesty still need to consider so many issues? He can only solve the troubles in front of him first, and there may be a turning point in the future."
When he said this, Faust's heart was filled with pain and deep helplessness. His lifelong aspiration was to bring prosperity and prosperity to Assyria with his knowledge, and to realize his ideals and pursuits in the process. But now the "prescription" he prescribed for the financial crisis of the empire is a toxic bitter medicine. Although it can temporarily maintain the operation of the empire, it will bring suffering to the people.
To be honest, this suffering was not caused by Faust, or even the prescription he prescribed, but the consequences that the defeat and decline of the Assyrian Empire would inevitably bear. Faust was just to maintain the financial crisis of the empire and prescribed a patient a dose of temporary pain relief. He knew all the causes and consequences in his heart, but he could only do this.
Semir's voice was filled with regret and asked again: "Faust, even you feel desperate, are you going to give up?"
This was the first time she called him his name. Faust shuddered and raised his head and said, "No, I don't want to give up. As long as your Majesty is still there, I will do everything I can. Semir, you should know my heart, the passionate love for you in my heart has never been extinguished, and everything I do is not only for the empire, but also for you."
He also called Semir's name directly and finally said the love in his heart directly. Semir was slightly moved, but his expression immediately calmed down and he lowered his eyes and said, "Sir, I have always known what you are thinking, but please don't say it anymore. I respect you and thank you, but I don't have the emotions you expect in my heart... After Sinach's death, I inherited the throne, but I have to watch the country be destroyed in my hands. Is this the punishment of the gods?"
Faust couldn't help but stand up and stepped forward and said, "Do you want to give up the throne? Please forgive me for being bold, I can see that you are not willing to sit in this position. If you hand over the throne to the son of Sinacher now, I am willing..."
What would he do? Before he could finish his words, Semir was interrupted by waves. She regained the majesty of an emperor and said decisively: "I will not give up the throne at this time and let others be the king of the destruction of the country! I will do all my efforts to save Assyria, even if it is no longer saved. Master Sage, are you willing to do this? Not for me, but for yourself!"
Faust touched his heart with his hands and said, "Of course I am willing to work hard for the prosperity and strength of Assyria. This is my vow. Your Majesty, what do you need me to do?"
Semir looked up at him, unable to describe his expression, and slowly replied: "I am thinking about one thing, perhaps to save Assyria's last hope, and ask for your help after I think it through. ... There is another small thing I forgot to tell you just now that something happened to Hisam whom you ordered was a generous polite Xism. Something happened to his family not long ago. Hisam's mother died of taking medicine. The servants accused Xism of a prostitute who was kept in the house in her early years, named Maganlei. It is said that she had drugged her and killed her mistress."
Faust was surprised, and he didn't bother to ask Semir how he knew about the case, blurted out: "How is this possible! How is that Magan Tear now?"
Semir looked at him and replied slowly, "I don't think it's possible, because the sheriff who investigated the case found the medicine she gave to her mistress. It turned out to be a magical medicine that only noble generals with honorable status could receive in the temple. But no matter how they interrogated, Maganlei did not answer who gave her the medicine. It was just said that a miracle happened and was given by the gods. Master, what do you think of this case?"
Faust replied: "The medicine is the real medicine. That girl will never poison the old lady. It should be that the old lady takes the medicine himself inappropriately. Your Majesty, you seem to know some of my things. That bottle of medicine was given to her!"
Semir retracted his gaze and nodded, "So that's it. Maganlei is still in prison. Since the National Master said that, she is innocent. You have just returned from the front line and must be tired. There are still many private matters to deal with, so please step down first."
...
Why did Maganchi refuse to name Faust? Because she could not explain why Faust gave her this precious magical medicine. During the war, this medicine was a prohibited material among the people and was specially used by the temple for senior military generals.
She was once a prostitute, and Xism was guilty of her and later took her home. Although Xism did not marry her, she was undoubtedly Hisam's woman in the eyes of others. Even if she was just an abused maid in Hisam's house, she was still Hisam's woman.
Faust, the sage national teacher admired by all the people in the empire, was deliberately approaching her and hanging with a woman like her. Whether she seduced him or tempted her, this would seriously hurt Faust's reputation and reputation. Even if Magan Tears said it, no one dared to believe it. Besides, Magan Tears were full of gratitude to Faust, how could he hurt his reputation?
Faust left the palace and returned to the temple, and immediately ordered people to call the sheriff of Neveh, and released Magan's tears in one sentence. Since Faust said in front of Queen Semir that he gave the medicine, there was no need to hide the sheriff, but he explained it very well-
Master Sage National Master occasionally heard Magan’s prayer to the gods in tears in the temple. The girl prayed to the gods for the mother of a soldier who died in battle, hoping that there would be a magical medicine to soothe the old lady’s pain. Faust felt compassion, so he gave the girl a bottle of medicine and told her the precautions for taking the medicine. The girl could not poison the old lady, because the old lady violated the taboos when taking the medicine himself.
Maganle was acquitted. In fact, she had explained to the sheriff that the old lady felt very comfortable after taking the medicine, so she did not obey the warning and took it privately. The more medicine he took, the more wonderful it felt. The old lady couldn't help but take a few spoons every day, and later... her life was gone.
Xism's mother was terminally ill. This medicine made her feel painless at the end of her life. She just died faster after taking too much. The sheriff also understood in her heart that if no one sued her, she would not have condemned Magan's tears. There were two main reasons for putting this girl in prison. One was that Xism's family was investigated, and the other was to find out the origin of the banned drug.
As soon as Faust spoke, the sheriff naturally did not dare to say anything more. He could only praise the compassion and virtue of the Sage National Master, and then immediately rushed to the prison to release Magan's tears.
Faust was very sorry in his heart, but the medicine he kindly gave to the girl almost harmed her. During the interrogation, Maganlei insisted not to say Faust's name, and he knew why, and his heart was full of gratitude. This poor girl still doesn't know that Faust was the person who disappeared after he injured Hisam.
In the palace, Semir suddenly mentioned the matter of the Hisam family, which surprised Faust. How could His Majesty care about such a thing? It would never be a coincidence. Could it be that he was secretly paying attention to his whereabouts? Some time ago, Faust was obsessed with a tryst with Magan Tears, and was always a little absent-minded. Has anyone discovered something and reported it to the Queen?
