005, I may not dare to look at her directly (Part 2)

"He is a man." Gabriel looked at Amon and said to Aristotle with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
Aristotle smiled and replied, "He is still a minor child, and meets your requirements. You have also seen this adult, it is too difficult to find a man in this town with no gray hair and no mud in his nails. I only found him. And there is one more thing I want to tell you, this child is a miner who mines the tears of the gods. If he does not have a pure heart and is favored by Goddess Isis, can he welcome the arrival of the tears of the gods?"
Gabriel said Oh, his tone eased a lot: "I heard the discussion at the other end of the town, and I also knew who you brought. It turned out that the divine stone mined by this boy was the Tears of the Gods, but he was almost punished by the priests here."
Aristotle nodded and said, "Yes... Then, can this child stay?"
Amon looked up at Gabriel and found that the warrior was staring at his face, his eyes seemed to have a sharp penetration. As soon as his eyes were touched, he couldn't help but lower his head. This adult was very beautiful, the most beautiful woman Amon had ever seen, but Amon felt that her upright figure had a surging tension, as if there was an illusion that it would push people away invisibly. The first impression it gave people was not her beauty, but majesty.
Gabriel: "Amon, you can stay and follow the maid to change clothes later. The work you have to do is very simple, which is to organize the food and living utensils of Lord Maria. Well, you are a child, but you must also pay attention to the delivery of things, you must not touch Lord Maria. When you wash and rest, you must avoid it and not make a sound. Also, you cannot say a word to anyone when you hear and see it here! Otherwise you will be punished."
It was the first time she saw Amon, but she called out his name, and her requirements for him were even stricter than the rules of the temple. Although Amon was still a minor boy, she reminded him not to touch Maria, otherwise she would be punished, but she did not say how to punish him, and Maria heard it upstairs.
Gabriel scared Amon a few words, and then asked the maid to take him to change his clothes, because Amon's clothes were clean but very worn. Gabriel wanted to find a person from the town to serve Mary, and there was another reason. She did not want anyone to know that Mary was learning divine arts. Naturally, the ignorant residents of Duke Town could not pass these things, and it was hard to say about Rhode Dick's entourage.
...
Before he saw Mary, Gabriel was the most beautiful woman Amon had ever seen, but when he saw Mary, Amon praised her from the bottom of his heart that she should be the most beautiful woman in the world. The moment he saw Mary, he was even a little distracted and subconsciously saluted: "Hello, Lord Mary, I am the servant who was sent to serve you, named Amon."
Maria was about the same age as Amon, at most only two years older than him, and was about the same height as him, but Amon had to call her Lord Maria. Her hair was light brown, with a soft amber luster, slightly curled over her shoulders, and her eyes were also light brown with a little blue, like stars in the night sky, and like clear pools of water.
"You are the miner who welcomes the coming of the tears of the gods? Thank Goddess Isis for your blessing, I want to thank you too!" When Maria spoke, she always looked straight into Amon's eyes, her eyes were calm and gentle, and she tried her best to remain calm and calm, but she couldn't hide her curiosity.
This made Amon a little uneasy and habitually lowered her head. Her facial features were beautiful, just like a hazy imagination in a dream, especially her eyes. Amon, who lowered his head, couldn't help but blush and thought to himself: "There has never been such a girl in Duke Town. Why did she always look at me in the eyes? In fact, she is a girl about the same age as me, and I may not dare to look directly at her."
Amon's job is very simple, which is to prepare the utensils needed for Mary's daily diet and daily life, and send them to the living room on the second floor. After Mary is used up, she will pack up and take them away to other servants. For example, Mary's three meals a day are all delivered to her by Amon. Mary doesn't eat much, and her appetite is less than one-third of Amon's, but there are quite a few things to prepare.
Various silver tableware are placed on the small table. Amon needs to wash his hands clean, then cut the food, and place the knife and spoon in the specified position. The silver jar containing goat milk and the cup for drinking water, and the small plate dipped in salt and spices are placed on the table on the left and right sides. Put the table steadily facing the position where Mary eats. It cannot make a sound, and it cannot sprinkle goat milk and soup on the table.
The dining table was quite heavy, and holding such a table steadily to the second floor and putting it down without any sound was not easy for an ordinary fourteen-year-old boy to do. But Amon could already control the heavy mine hammer to mine the divine stone, which was very easy for him.
When Maria was eating, she almost made no sound, and even the tableware rarely collided, and it seemed very quiet and well-educated. Amon bowed and stood by, waiting for her to finish eating before taking the table, then brought water for washing her face and rinsing her mouth, and went out to avoid it. When Maria finished washing up, she came in and took the water container away, and then stood on the stairs and waited for the call.
As a saint, if you are in the Temple of Isis, you can have a servant who can be a servant who needs to be, but Maria is in Duke Town, and the servant who is directly responsible for food and living utensils is currently only Amon.
Amon stayed with Maria the longest time during the meal. Amon, who grew up in Duke Town, has never seen anyone who is so clean and has such clean clothes. It may not be appropriate to describe Maria as clean. She gives people the feeling of purity. Maria doesn't ask him, Amon can't speak, but during the meal break, after Maria drinks a sip of water or goat milk, she often asks him some questions, such as the situation in Duke Town, the process of miners mining divine stones, etc. She is also very curious about these.
Amon answered very carefully. He found that Maria seemed to have a habit. When she spoke, she naturally looked straight into his eyes. The corners of her lips seemed to be slightly raised, and a gentle smile floated. This made Amon feel a little uncomfortable, and his heartbeat was a little confused, and he didn't even know where to put his hands.
"She is beautiful. I want to look at her very much, but why don't I dare? Her eyes are not scary at all. Why am I afraid?" Amon said to himself in his heart, and even felt a trace of indescribable depression.
Amon didn't know that Maria hadn't had this habit before, and now she was doing it according to Gabriel's instructions. While teaching the magic, Gabriel also reminded her--
"Mr. Maria, you are very pure. This is the temperament of a saint. But you are too young and seem too soft. As a qualified saint, you protect the dignity of Goddess Isis and cannot give anyone a sense of cowardice. From now on, one thing you need to pay attention to is to look directly into their eyes when talking to anyone.
Your eyes should be peaceful, but there should be no trace of retreat or dodge, just like a goddess watching the people. Whether it is a prince or noble or a slave civilian, you should always look at their eyes like this when you ask questions. This is a saint. No one dares to despise you, and under your eyes, they will feel the mercy of the great goddess Isis."
But there was almost no one around Maria who could let her "practice" like this, and the most suitable partner was Amon. Poor Amon did not know these things. He was quite at a loss by Maria's gaze. Amon did not know Maria's identity. Even if someone had told him, he did not know what the guardian saint of the Temple of Isis was. He only knew that Maria was a noble nobleman, and he had to call her master and not offend her.
Is it considered offensive to look at this beautiful girl and look at her gaze? The old madman has never told her this situation before, and the drunk father is even more unlikely to tell him. It shouldn't be it, she is looking at me! - Amon thought so in his heart, and at the same time he felt that his heart was beating and at a loss, how could he be so unscrupulous?
Fortunately, there was nothing else that was disturbing. The job of one gold coin a day seemed easy, but there was a little accident on the first night.
At that time, Amon was already asleep on the wooden board under the stairs, and was having a very hazy dream. In the dream, Maria looked at him, and he also looked at Maria with the same look. This felt very strange, just like taking a bath in the cold spring of the black fire jungle and sitting by the pond to rest.
At this moment, Amon suddenly heard a scream. The voice was not loud. He deliberately suppressed his voice and seemed not so sharp, but he was obviously very scared. It was Maria's voice, coming from the room on the second floor. Amon immediately jumped up. He was a little confused and forgot in a trance that he was not at home, and his head was hit on the wooden board under the stairs and hurt.
