swear to love heaven

The torrential downpour fell from the sky in a mighty manner, and with the arrogance that swept over everything, it ripped off a huge roar, and poured into this heavenly mountain city from between the dark gray clouds above Hattusha.

The raindrops falling on the ground flashed with crystal-clear light, tumbling and jumping in the air, and then slid into the shallow pits dug on both sides of the streets and alleys, and the rainwater merged into a trickle along the criss-cross tunnels towards the building. Run to the cistern in the lower parts of the city.

Because the whole city is built on the mountain, whenever the summer rainy season comes, Hattusha will experience mudslides caused by heavy rains washing the mountain. destruction.

For this reason, consolidating the dangerous mountains and repairing the waterways in the city are important projects that every Hittite king has spent on maintenance every year since he ascended the throne.

This summer, the amount of rain on the Anatolian Plateau was significantly less than in previous years. At the end of the summer, this heavy rain came belatedly to the Hittite "City of Light". Full of courage, washed away the last trace of fiery dullness at the end of summer.

The sudden, mighty torrential rain caught people off guard as the rain fell from the sky.However, the hurried steps of the people were not to find a roof to shelter from the rain, but to rush back and forth to the square in front of the palace. Their hurried backs were wet by the rain, and there was some anxiety in the shadows.

Today there will be an execution in Palace Square.

Since La Balsa came to the throne, countless people have been executed, ranging from princes and nobles to civilian slaves. No one can remember how many ghosts were scattered under La Balsa's bloody rule.

However, today's death penalty has a different meaning from the past.

Because, the person who was executed was Muhali, the general of the former king's guards.A Hittite felon who was accused of being a traitor and fled for 15 years.

Once this accusation is carried on his back, it will be difficult to completely wash it off. Even if it is like the heavy rain in the sky at this moment, it may be difficult to completely wash away the brand of traitor from his body.

More than half of the people in Hattusha city still remember the young general with a silent and stern face who always stood behind the former king Tiyepiha.

Steady as a stone, silent as the wind, that is the impression of Muhali, just like the shadow of Tiyepiha refracted in the air, he will always follow behind the former king, quiet, indifferent, steady.

The world is not a fool who can be deceived by a few words. The whole Hittites know how La Balsa got the Iron Throne. After he mastered most of the army, it has become a matter of course for him to face the massacres carried out by the royal family back then. kingly way.

As a result, people knew in their hearts that Muhali, who was forced to flee from Hattusa, was a rebel who treasoned and assassinated the king, or a loyal minister who was unwilling to bow his head to Rabalsa.

However, even such a general who was loyal to his oath could not escape the bad luck of being executed.After fleeing for 15 years, Muhali suddenly appeared to assassinate Rabalsa, but the news that he was caught by mistake caused many people who had silently prayed for his safety in their hearts to fall into the sadness of not being able to shed freely. middle.

When the crowds flocked to the Palace Square like flowing water, the square covered with huge white stone slabs had already been tightly surrounded by the army on the third floor and the third floor outside. People could only stop in the rain half a street away from the square. , looking dejectedly at the execution platform that has been set up.

The rain is getting bigger, like tears from the sky, and it can't be stopped.

Since entering the hinterland of Syria, the speed of the march has been deliberately slowed down. Sharma and the others are very cautious, and the slightest disturbance is enough to attract their silent and chilling vigilance.

Seeing them scattered around him, maintaining a stern formation, Khaleesi didn't even bother to take a closer look at his homeland, just hiding in Tibet and getting closer and closer to the Sinai Peninsula.

Sitting at the stone table, glanced at the simple yet exquisite dinner on the table, reached out to pick up a round cake, and chewed it tastelessly.

"It's really interesting!" The slightly raised laughter was mixed with some inexplicable excitement, and the distant flames adorned the moment when Sharma raised his eyebrows, illuminating a half-smile look.

Looking sideways at her suspiciously, not understanding what could have caused Sharma to be so surprised, Khaleesi put down the food in his hand, picked up the cup, and took a sip of the sweet tea.

There was a smile hidden in the corner of his eyes, and after a while, the laughter couldn't be restrained, revealing a surprisingly good mood.Stretching out his hand, he brushed the hair on his shoulders, turned his smiling eyes to one side, raised the parchment in his hand, and placed it in front of Khaleesi.

"what?"

"Very interesting news, you must take a look." Picking up the cup, his slender fingers brushed across the rim, closing his eyes, the light and beating moonlight shining in his eyes.

Looking at the parchment with a hint of curiosity, it was just a simple glance.Suddenly, his eyes tightened, and his blue pupils shrank suddenly, looking bleak and unpredictable, full of panic. "and after?"

"It's over so soon!" He muttered in a low voice, but he didn't pay much attention to it.Shrugging his shoulders, resting his chin on one hand, resting his other hand on the edge of the table, tapping the smooth stone tabletop with five fingers, he replied casually: "I also really want to know about 'later', but it's a pity that Hattusha's subordinates only sent this information. "

His dazed eyes lowered slowly, staring at the parchment covered with a layer of moonlight in his hand, the astonishment on his face was completely replaced by worry, his delicate face was enveloped in the cool evening breeze, quietly covered with a little uneasy feeling. Feeling dejected, a blue fog light trembled in the bottom of his eyes very slowly.

Sighing helplessly, or sighing helplessly, Sharma turned her back against the edge of the stone table, looked up at the dark and deep sky, faint starlight silently flickered in the gaps in the clouds, and felt a little helpless struggling with her own strength. The mood is somewhat similar.

"It seems our answer is the same, isn't it, Khaleesi?" asked, affirmatively.

Without saying a word, the lids of the eyes were closed, hiding the blue eyes, and at the same time hiding a touch of hesitation and doubt.

Seeing that she was silent, Sharma raised the corners of her mouth, a frivolous and arrogant arc hidden in the casual nature of the evening wind, a long sigh slipped past her lips quietly when this arc provoked a little excitement, no one see.

"Do you know who she really is? Or, do you know what her plans are?"

After a while, he put down the parchment paper, shook his head, and said softly. "have no idea."

"Did they leak anything in front of you?" This possibility is not great. These people are not like ordinary robbers in terms of skill or behavior, but more like a strong organization and sophisticated planning..." Knife fire", realizing this, Sharma frowned unconsciously.

"What didn't they say? I don't know Hittite very well, and I can't understand many words." This is a lie, anyway, it's not the first time.

Silence, looking sideways at Khalixi under the shadow of the night light and moon, suddenly, Sharma felt a strange feeling in her heart, as if there was some strange and mysterious hidden behind this innocent little princess. The soul of Kalixi always inadvertently slips out a sliver of strange light from the moment Kalixi lowers her eyes through those translucent blue eyes... It is a kind of elusive but extremely real Feel.

Getting up, Kalixi said softly: "I'm tired, I'm going to bed first, and you should go to bed early too."

He suddenly reached out and held her wrist hanging by her side, a little surprised at his behavior, his brown eyes raised leisurely, just fell into a pair of blue eyes that were also full of surprise, and he was speechless for a while.
