Before AD [Babylonian Favorites]

I helped Naishi back to my residence.

When I returned the same way, I found that Alexander and Hephaestion had moved under the gazebo, and they were chatting happily.Seeing me and an attendant helping Nessie come over, Alexander turned his head and took a casual look, as if he had noticed something, he took another look.

He leaned forward slightly: "Bagos, is this the Egyptian?"

"Yes, sire, he is my squire," I answered.

Alexander nodded, but his eyes remained glued to Nessie's body: "It looks familiar."

Naxi didn't answer, she didn't show any expression, she lowered her head indifferently.

Hephaistion smiled while peeling the grapes: "You see everyone familiar, but unfortunately few remember the names."

"Nonsense, I remembered your name the first time I heard it." Alexander turned around dissatisfied, "At that time, Aristotle called you by name and praised you, but I was still wondering which brat was stealing my limelight. "

It is true that the strong will be attracted to the good.

If Hephaistion was really better than Alexander when he was young, it is understandable that the two would become rivals.It's just that I don't know what went through from being enemies to mutual affection.Hephaestion is not a weak person, he is handsome, intelligent, and his aura is so strong that even Statina would mistake him for the emperor—speaking of which, if a real man can marry a man, Hephaestion Tion does suit him well, too.

A little moody.I have analyzed this kind of thing so clearly, and it has nothing to do with me.

"You're jealous of me." Hephaistion said leisurely.

"You're wrong, Hephaes. I'm not jealous, but unconvinced." Alexander leaned against the railing, a lock of blond hair on the back of his head shaking with his movements, "But that's all in the past, now no matter how much you I don't mind doing anything."

Hefes had a grape in his mouth, and his right cheek bulged slightly: "Oh? Are you sure? Then do you admit that I am better than you? Let Bagoss be a witness, so that you won't be reckless in the future."

I stood outside the gazebo and watched the two silently, not wanting to interrupt.I always feel that I am sitting on pins and needles here, and it is a bit tormented.

Alexander was taken aback, looked at me, and said, "Except for this."

"Bagos, do you hear that, your great majesty has reneged."

I was hesitating and didn't know what to say, but my heart was inclined towards Hephaestion.That guy Alexander, he won't die if he admits it, so he insists on pretending to be a big head.

But at this moment, Alexander suddenly turned his head, winked at me, and smiled again.

"I didn't say anything, little boy, did I?"

My heart skipped a beat, and my logic became confused for no reason.I have a problem, and I have committed it before, that is, I will respond to others when I am nervous.

So my mouth flowed smoothly, and the words became like this: "Your Majesty and Your Excellency are both right, Bagoss admires them very much, haha."

Alexander froze for a moment, then turned around and strode down from the gazebo, stopping in front of me.

blind!This is too hypocritical!

I took half a step back: "Your Majesty, I...I mean..."

He stared at me for a long while, but suddenly burst out laughing.

He stretched out his arms, hugged my head in his arms and pressed it, his body smelled of spices.

"It's the first time I've heard such a crappy flattery." There was an obvious laugh in the serious words, "Who told me you are a well-rounded person? Well, lovely Bagoss, you really impress me with all-round beauty."

Oh my god, still cute?I really want to find a tree hole and stick my head in it, and live my whole life!

I said: "Your Majesty, you are busy, I should go."

Alexander didn't speak, just stood by and kept smiling at me.

I turned a blind eye and went to Fu Naixi with the cheek, and suddenly thought that Alexander might be going to drink again tonight, so I turned my cheek and said: "Your Majesty, drink less alcohol. It stands to reason that you should not drink more than one glass a day. Drinking too much is not good for your health." Great."

Alexander finally stopped smiling so meaningfully, he nodded, his eyes sparkled: "I will."

What would happen, he didn't come back until midnight that night, maybe he died outside drunk.

"I always feel that wrestling is very strange," I closed the window and said to Nessie, "Do you have the feeling that Kassander seems to be deliberately targeting you?"

Naxi was silent for a long time before saying, "I've seen that man during the day."

I walked to his bedside: "Of course you should have seen him, he is the current ruler of Egypt."

Nessie's eyes widened, and she immediately got up from the bed: "Alexander?"

I was a little frightened by him, and nodded blankly: "That's right, haven't you heard someone call him Your Majesty, who else here can use this title besides Alexander?"

Nessie murmured the name several times in a low voice, then raised her head again: "Can you let me meet him?"

"What did you see him for?" I became vigilant. Although this little boy is quite miserable, I don't know why.If I stupidly shove him in front of Alexander and he pulls out a knife and terrorizes us, we're all screwed.

He glanced at me, turned his head and lay down.

"It's none of your business."

How dare I, a master who only cares about him, be inferior to Alexander?Chilling.

I was so angry that I stopped caring about him: "Be kind, beg me to help you give me a cold ass, but ask me to put a hot face on you. Am I stupid or easy to bully? If you want to see you, go see it yourself."

As soon as the words were spoken, a strong light suddenly flashed outside the window, making the shadows of the trees mottled.

boom--

A thunderstorm suddenly exploded from outside the house, as if it was going to shatter the sky, and the sound made people's eardrums hurt.

This series of thunderbolts and lightnings shook the sky, even though I knew it was the first sign of a rainstorm, I was a little scared to death.

Naixi climbed down from the bed in a panic, stumbled and fell to the ground, knelt down in a hurry, covered her chest with her left hand, and began to kowtow over and over again.I heard him repeating something, Ludt, it sounded nondescript, I don't know if it was a person's name or a place name.

For a while, the wind howled and thunder and lightning.It made people tremble.

"Naixi, get up, it's cold on the ground!" Seeing that blood was starting to appear on his forehead, I couldn't stand it anymore, and hurried to help him.But he seemed to be dazed, ignoring my existence at all.

Suddenly, the door was blown open by the cold and strong draft, as if the sound of a girl crying came from far away.

I was still in astonishment and didn't turn around when I felt something cold and tightly wrapped around my wrist.

I was so startled that my scalp was numb, and I was about to shake it off, only to find that it was Nessie's bony hand.It was only then that I noticed that his fingers were slender and ridiculously long.

He raised his head, his bangs were messed up by the wind, only a pair of long eyes staring at me as if they knew the world.The black long-haired white robe flickers on and off in such a violent night.

At this moment, I was a little terrified.

Nancy's thin lips suddenly began to squirm: "Bagoss, go to Alexander, go to him."

His hands hurt me a little, but I didn't have time to take care of it. My mind was completely caught by his words, as if there was a faint silk thread slowly pulling out from my heart. It was obviously outrageous, but faintly scared.

"What's wrong with you, Nessie? Get up first and talk slowly, why am I going to find Alexander?" I said.

Naxi was quiet for a while, and a strange emotion suddenly appeared in his eyes, which was so unpredictable that he was a little indifferent.

He looked, looked at me, like the strongest man looking down at the ants under his feet, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "I swear to the great Isis [1], he will die. If you don't go to him, History will be rewritten. Tonight, he will die."

The torrential rain outside the window became more violent, and another flash of lightning, like a shining long sword, struck the white limestone roof opposite by surprise, and the entire wall began to groan in pieces.

On the opposite side is Alexander's bedroom.

History will be rewritten.

Tonight, he will die.

These voices instantly filled my mind, becoming clearer and louder, like a lingering darkness.It's like someone is smiling contemptuously in an invisible corner, but I just don't know what it means or who he is.

Why do you feel this way?

"Impossible, Nexi, are you sick and confused?" I suppressed the panic in my heart, "You are just an ordinary person. If you talk about Alexander's future, I think I know better than you!"

Nessie let go of her hand, and there were a few weird laughs in her throat, her black and white eyes seemed to be clearer than usual.

"This is what God told me. The great Isis conveyed the oracle to me. Bagoas, you should understand your choice."

The silk thread growing in my heart seemed to be lifted up suddenly, oracle?What oracle?I've never heard the term.

I have never believed in ghosts and gods, but he was talking about Alexander, and he also said that "history will be rewritten".

It seems that an unimaginable illusion is gradually becoming clearer, more obvious, and hotter.

Nexi's strange expression made me feel hairy for no reason. He looks nothing like a normal person at this moment.

He knows who I am?

How can this be!It's ridiculous!

But how does he know history?Perhaps, as he said, all these historical stories have already been arranged in the dark, and people only need to go on step by step?

Nexi said quietly: "Whether this body or this soul, Bagoas, where is your thing? Only Isis knows your secret, and only I know it. Whether you want it or not is just a matter of a thought."

The fear in my heart roared to the top, and the darkness that covered the sky hid the light.I can't listen to other words anymore, what he said is very cryptic, but I feel that I understand, he knows me!He knows who I am!

There was a deep light in the raised eyes of Nessie, which did not fit a young man. He said slowly: "Do you know why Kassander deliberately dealt with me? Because of my name. Because my real name is Izmo , and more because I am the holiest priest of Egypt, the oracle priest."

Oracle priest, I don't know what this means.

But I know Egyptian priests.Malena, who loves astrology, once told me that they can use astrology to accurately predict the changes of the Nile River.Witchcraft and spells, myths and magic, those are naturally not true in my understanding.But the world thousands of years ago is right in front of my eyes, and I couldn't even explain it myself. Now, who can answer with certainty which one is real and which one is fake?

The tumbling torrent swept across the entire atrium, and my heart was beating wildly. The fear and anxiety made me almost exhausted even the strength to stand.

If I choose not to believe him, is Alexander really going to die tonight?And history will be completely overturned?

If, if Alexander really tonight...

I can't imagine.

When I think of that high-spirited face, I think of the pride of that Greek boy when he talked about his dream, even the corners of his eyes are shining, and I think of the hand on my shoulder... They say, when he looks at you , you feel as if you have suddenly become very powerful, as if you can do anything.

I didn't take anything, and ran out alone.

Tornado, thunder and lightning.

I know what I'm doing is crazy because I know I'm cowardly.

Too cowardly to bear any fault.

The more you want to escape from something, the more it comes closer step by step.When my every move affects a period of history spliced ​​by countless miracles and brilliance, people are walking on the edge of an abyss.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

If the whole history is changed by a small choice of me, an outsider, I, a bystander, will no longer be just a bystander, and in the future, what kind of courage should I use to face the historical facts that have been falsified beyond recognition?

The author has something to say:

[1] Isis, the goddess who guards the dead in Egyptian mythology, is also the god of life and health.
