263, from dusk to late night

Semir clearly implies that she already knew what Faust did, which was a warning of honest tolerance or dissatisfaction? If the Queen really sent a master to investigate Faust's whereabouts, then what was the reason? Is it to care, pay attention to him or guard against him?

But if Semir is hostile, it is impossible to say it in person. Is it a kind reminder? Under the current situation, Faust's reputation and reputation are very important to gather the hearts of the Assyrian people. The queen does not want him to cause any scandals, right? - It should be like this, this is the most reasonable explanation!

If we judge from absolute reason, Faust should not have seen Magane at this time, but he couldn't help it. Faust knew that Magane could not return to Hisham's house after coming out of the prison, so he could only go to the courtyard where they had tried. So in the afterglow of the setting sun, Faust disguised himself and quietly left the temple and rushed there.

After so many days of prison, I wonder how Magan Tears were? He should comfort her and apologize to her. In a sense, it was him and his identity that brought her this disaster.

Because he suspected that Queen Semir sent a master to secretly monitor him, Faust thought so, while carefully watching the pedestrians around him. He disguised himself as he hid his face, and launched the magical technique to observe the movements around him at any time. He believed that no one in the empire could follow him and he would not be noticed by him.

No one was found along the way. Even if there were, the most outstanding master in the empire could get rid of it. He went there very coincidentally. Maganlei had just been released and rushed to the courtyard where she and Faust often had a tryst. She had to go there in the future.

Faust walked past a shop, turned the corner and entered a secluded alley, and saw Maganlei's back from a distance. Maganlei was wearing shabby clothes, with a few dried grass leaves sticking to her hair, and reached out to open the door. At this moment, a person suddenly jumped out of the corner of the street opposite and rushed towards Maganlei and shouted: "You shameless bitch, I want you to pay your life!"

Faust once met this man many years ago. He was a young officer with a thriving figure, but now he is obviously fat, with a messy beard and a short sword in a strong suit. He is Hisam, who was once injured by Faust.

Why is Xism not dead, and it will appear here? In fact, Xism's family did not receive a formal notice from the Assyrian military headquarters, but only heard the revelation of the wounded soldiers who came back on the battlefield - Xism was killed. He was caught in the chaos of the army and fell into the enemy's camp. Everyone thought he was dead. Everything was in chaos when the army was defeated, but he unexpectedly fled to death and lived.

Faust once sent someone to say hello, kindly polite Hisam's family and posthumously awarded him a title, but this person was not dead. This misunderstanding is a bit shocking, maybe it was because of this incident that attracted the attention of the military or Queen Semir.

As soon as Xism returned to Neve City, he heard bad news about his mother. His family told him that Maganlei actually gave his seriously ill mother a poisonous medicine. Xism couldn't believe it was true. Why did Maganlei do this? Another kind neighbor told him about the recent rumors - Maganlei has a lover outside and often goes out to meet.

It must have been the man who instructed Magan to tearfully kill Xism's mother, which not only revenges her original abuse, but also achieves the purpose of elopement with the man from the Xism family. Because people think that Xism is dead, if his mother dies, the servants of this family will scatter and find a way out.

The grief and angry Xism immediately rushed to the government office to inquire about the case. However, before he could find out the detailed interrogation process, he heard that Maganlei was acquitted.

Xism immediately rushed to the prison to find Maganlei, and he wanted to kill her with his own hands! If he had a few affection for Maganlei back then, he was now very hated. In Xism's opinion, he drew his sword in anger because of her and almost suffered a prison disaster. He rescued her from the fire pit in the brothel and brought her home, and even said he wanted to marry her.

But Maganchi repaid his grudges for his grudges, not only seducing the man outside, but also killing his mother at the instigation of the man! When he returned on the battlefield, his family was destroyed. Grief and resentment had already submerged Hism's reason. He wanted to settle the score with Maganchi and pull out the man and let the dog and woman get retribution!

The angry Xism still retained a little sober. He knew that Maganlei could no longer return to her original home after she was released from prison. If she wanted to find a place to stay, she would definitely go to find that man. This is the clue that he was chasing.

Xism was hanging a sharp blade on his waist and quietly followed Maganlei from the door of the prison to this secluded alley. Finally, he knew Maganlei's destination. This should be the man's home! When Maganlei was about to open the door, Xism finally couldn't help but rush out. He wanted to twist Maganlei and kick the door and rush in on the spot, interrogate the man and woman, and not let go of any of them!

Xism never dreamed that Faust happened to appear at the other end of the alley and launched the magic of detecting.

When Faust saw Hisam rushing towards Maganchi fiercely, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked because the distance was too far, and it was just between him and Hisam. Faust was afraid of hurting Maganchi by accident, so he used the simplest means to use the magical technique of Qi element from the air. An invisible force wrapped around Hisam's body like a whirlwind and rolled him out.

Fortunately, it was Faust, otherwise the other person would have no time to stop Xism from committing the crime. Faust knew that Xism was a level 6 warrior, and the incident happened suddenly, so he used very strong power. Xism did not even pull out his sword, but flew backwards in the air. The back of his head hit the corner of the alley, and he fell to the ground without humming.

Magan didn't see Faust at the entrance of the other alley in the distance. Xism rushed over and flew out suddenly. She screamed in horror. Faust was about to go over, but suddenly noticed a large group of people outside the entrance of the other alley. A voice shouted: "What happened! Who is on the ground? How can you carry a sharp weapon and break through the imperial capital!"

Hearing this voice, Faust was shocked. The visitor was the head of the palace guard, the great warrior Crips! Recently, due to the defeat on the front line, rumors spread in the city of Neveh, and so many defeated soldiers came back, so the public security in the imperial capital was very tense. Semir sent the palace guards to cooperate with the garrison army to strengthen the patrol force, and Crips was also one of the main generals responsible for patroling the city.

How could it be so coincidental that Crips led the guards to patrol the city and arrived here? If it were an ordinary guard, with Faust's means, he could completely solve the matter here without any trace, but Crips was present, Faust would not have been able to do it.

If he openly showed up and took action with all his might, Crips is certainly not Faust's opponent, but Faust came in disguise. He could not cover up what had just happened without revealing his identity, such as knocking all the patrol soldiers out of nowhere to take Magan's tears, or taking Hisam away without leaving any trace. All this happened too suddenly, and it suddenly made Faust not have time to react.

Attacking the patrol guards in the imperial capital is a crime of chaos. If Faustzhen and Crips fought, they would probably even be demolished. Such a big disturbance would not not reveal his identity. Faust had another choice, which was to go over with his identity and explain to Crips what had just happened, but he hesitated.

Why did the dignified chief high priest of the empire come here disguisedly? What was going on with this girl and why Faust attacked Hisam again? No matter what, Faust couldn't explain it clearly. If everything was made clear, it would be the most absurd scandal in the imperial capital, which would greatly harm the reputation and reputation of the wise master, and would even affect the prestige of the imperial temple.

After Faust hesitated, Cripps had already rushed into the alley with a team of guards. Someone bent down to check the situation of Hisham, and Cripps was already asking about Magan's tears. At this moment, a melodious bell suddenly came from the direction of the palace, with a special rhythm and a very dense rhythm, and he knocked many times in a row.

The patrol guard asked Cripps: "Sir, what's going on with this bell?"

Crips replied: "That is a signal that Your Majesty summoned all the important officials in the capital and rushed to the palace to discuss matters. It seems that something big is going to happen, or that Your Majesty has an important order to be issued. Our duty is to patrol the city, and continue to patrol the movements in the city honestly, just don't make any mistakes, and everyone must be extra vigilant."

Faust disappeared, looked at the alley, and finally stomped his feet and rushed to the palace. The signal sent by the bell was very urgent, and there must be important military and national affairs, but at this time! The bell gave Faust the hesitant one the best reason and excuse. He did not want to leave on purpose, but had to leave under the call of the bell.

History seems to have experienced another cycle. When Faust was injured in a brothel, he quietly left. No one knew his identity, and he could not track down the whereabouts of the perpetrator, leaving only the lonely and helpless Magan tears. Today, he flew out and hit the corner of the wall, and the patrol guards came, and Faust quietly left again.

It was dusk, and the sky gradually darkened, and lights were lit up in the city of Neveh.

...

The ministers above the deputy chiefs of the imperial capital had arrived at the palace hall. Everyone asked what had happened, but no one knew. Seeing that Faust was coming, everyone asked the Sage National Master again, and Faust was also confused. At this time, Semir finally walked into the hall surrounded by the eunuchs and ascended the throne, and specially gave Faust a seat on the left side of the throne of the queen.

Empress Semir announced two things, one was to issue new coins at the suggestion of Faust to solve the urgent need for the empire's finances. The second thing surprised the ministers. Empress Semir ordered the son of Sinah to reign over the country and appoint Faust as the regent. As for Her Majesty herself, she would leave the capital to personally patrol the border and rectify the arms.

Now that Hathi has been destroyed, the Assyrian Empire is surrounded by Pots, the next war will happen sooner or later. No one knows when Cyrus will attack the Assyrian land, but he cannot wait to die and must prepare early. At this time, Empress Semir personally went to the border to inspect and reorganize the defeated legions. This is the last way to boost morale and restore the decline.

Semir wanted to go to the border in person, keep the son of Sinach and make Faust regent. This was just a precaution. If Semir had any accidents, the state affairs would be handed over to Faust, and Faust would also assist the new king to succeed the throne. In the current situation, if Semir was not present, Faust would be possible to usurp power and seize the throne.

But if Faust did that, there was no point in doing it, Semir was not worried about it. If even Her Majesty the Queen had an accident and the Assyrian Empire was about to be destroyed, who would be willing to usurp the throne and become a king of a devastated country? He had just ascended the throne and was about to be destroyed! If Faust really had the ability to save the Assyrian Empire, then even if he usurped the throne, no one would care.

Faust's status and glory reached the peak of his life. All the ministers expressed their blessings and praises to Her Majesty the Queen, and also expressed their congratulations and respects to the Master of the Sage.

On such an important occasion, Faust was a little unconscious. He had no intention of listening to the praises of his ministers, and was always thinking about Maganchi, not knowing what happened to her. He even hoped that the court meeting that determined the fate of the empire would end soon, so that people could ask about Maganchi. If anything, try to solve it privately, and in short, she could not suffer any more.

According to common sense, Semir gave him such an important appointment. After the court dispersed, he should stay and ask for the queen alone to discuss important state arrangements. But Faust did not do so. After the court dispersed, he wanted to leave the palace immediately with the ministers, but the eunuch called him-Her Majesty the Queen wanted to summon the Sage National Master alone.

Faust came to a small hall in the apse. At this time, the night was deep. Semir ordered all the eunuchs to retreat. Then he said quietly: "Faust, are you still the wise master I know? Or the person I admire and love in the minds of the Assyrian people? I want to entrust the entire country to you, but after the court meeting, you didn't even ask more questions, or even ask for me alone, and you would leave in such a hurry?"

Faust quickly stood up and accused him of guilt: "Please forgive my faults. I am worried about everything recently. After hearing about Your Majesty's latest decision, I want to go back and make arrangements first. The night is getting deep today, and I plan to come again tomorrow morning to ask for your Majesty."

Semir waved his hand and said, "Please sit down and talk. I know you have something to do in your heart. But no matter what, don't forget your responsibilities. Just like me, I didn't want to ascend the throne, but in this position, I have to shoulder my own responsibilities. Faust, are you worried about the girl named Magan Tears?"

Faust was startled. He had just sat down and stood up from the chair again: "Your Majesty, how did you know?"

Semir threw a volume of documents and shook his head and said, "You don't have to go inquire anymore. I have ordered the latest case to be reported to the palace urgently. The man named Xism died. Magan was taken back to the government office and pleaded guilty on the spot, admitting that she killed him!... As for why I know this, I don't have to hide it now, because you are very important to this empire. Of course, I will care about your situation and be willing to share your worries."

Faust opened the document and finally understood what had happened after he left.

Xism was dead. Although Faust did not want to kill him, he used too much power in desperation. When the warrior flew out, he hit the corner of the wall and died on the spot. He finally recovered his life among thousands of troops. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the capital, he first learned about his mother's bad news, and then died inexplicably.

Just as the ministers in the palace were discussing, Cripps brought Hisam's body and Magan to the government office and called the sheriff to interrogate overnight.

Although Maganlei was weak by nature, she was not stupid. When she woke up, she realized what was going on. It must have been Faust who secretly shot Xism away, but because of the arrival of the patrol guard, she left and was inconvenient to reveal her identity. At that time, the bells of the palace were urgently summoning the ministers.

Maganlei did not say Faust's name. She confessed to Crips that she pushed Xism herself. As a result, Xism fell back and fell to the ground without a stable foothold, and her head hit the wall. How could a level 6 warrior like Xism be pushed to death by a weak woman like Maganlei? He was injured on the battlefield not long ago and has not healed yet. This is also a complete possibility.

As for why the two of them had a conflict, it is easy to explain, because Hisam's family accused Maganlei of poisoning his mistress. The bottle of medicine was indeed given to his mother by Maganlei, and if taken improperly, it would indeed endanger life. When Hisam came back, of course he had to find Maganlei to ask clearly.

The sheriff also called Xism's neighbors to ask, but many people said that Maganchi had "betrayed" Xism and had a lover outside. Xism went to find Maganchi to find Maganchi to find out the man and ask clearly, and the yard was probably where Maganchi had a tryst with his lover. Someone also asked the sheriff why Maganchi had acquitted?

The sheriff's answer was naturally according to Faust. The bottle of medicine was heard by Magan's tears when he was praying in the temple. The magical medicine was given to her by Master Sage. The last case was settled, so there was no need to be entangled. Today, I only tried today's murder case.

Today's case happened in the imperial capital. Under the nose of Lord Crips, everyone was alarmed and must be questioned clearly. In fact, there is nothing to be tried according to confession. Magan was guilty of killing people in tears, not to mention that she killed a soldier who returned from the battlefield for a lifetime. Moreover, the Emperor's Ministry had just issued an order to restore Hisam to his post.

Hesm lost his position because of Magan Tears. Now he lost his life because of Magan Tears. If he didn't punish Magan Tears severely, it would not be enough to calm the public's anger! The killing of nobles by civilians is a serious crime, not to mention that Magan Tears was once a lowly prostitute, which caused so many disasters to the Hisam family.
