When Faust took her, Maganlei's whole body trembled. She never dreamed that the Sage Imperial Tutor would do such a thing, but he did. She was willing from the bottom of her heart. Maganlei even felt a sense of sacrifice. She was willing to make Faust happy.
One day, she asked Faust, "There are more and more rumors in the capital, but the news from the frontlines is getting less and less. Is the Empire in a difficult situation? Perhaps I shouldn't ask you, but I always feel that there is a layer of worry in your eyes. "
Faust caressed her soft body and said, "Yes, the Empire is in a difficult situation. People place their hopes on me, but I don't know how to face their gazes. Only with you can I feel relaxed, as if I don't have to think about anything for a while. Life is short, why not let us find happiness together? "
Maganlei hugged him and answered the question with her body. Faust felt that he had fallen, and he tempted Maganlei to fall with him. This made him feel even more conflicted, but he was also addicted to it.
Maganlei often went out to meet with Faust, and every time she returned home, her face would have a strange blush. As the days passed, the girl also became a charming young woman, but she still maintained her youthful charm. It was like a miracle. This caused the neighbors to talk about it, and gradually, there were rumors that Maganlei had a man outside. Hisham's family vaguely heard some rumors, but before they had time to investigate, the bad news came. Hisham had been killed on the battlefield.
The news was brought back by wounded soldiers who had withdrawn from the frontlines. The Assyr Empire had lost six newly conquered towns in the south, and the situation at the frontlines was very chaotic. The official news and compensation from the imperial military had not been sent to Hisham's family, but his comrades who had returned to Nineveh told his family that Hisham had died in battle.
Maganlei was very sad, but at the same time, there was a trace of inexplicable relief in her heart. She was finally free. Now that Hisham was dead, she could go meet with Faust without any more burdens. She told this news to Faust, and asked him to give her a bottle of magic medicine, because Hisham's mother was very sick.
The old lady who had mistreated Ma Ganlei fell ill after hearing about her son's death. No doctor could save her life.
Faust had given Maganlei a bottle of a very powerful medicine, which not only quickly healed the cut on her hand, but also made her hand more nimble. In Maganlei's heart, Faust was like a god, and there must be a medicine that could save the old lady's life.
However, Faust told Maganlei that there was no divine medicine in this world that could make mortals not die. The old lady was old, and her body and mind had suffered heavy injuries. Her life was about to be extinguished, and no one could save her. Even the gods were powerless.
Magan begged Faust with tears in her eyes. Even if she could not save the old lady's life in the end, she did not want to see her in so much pain as she waited for death to come. There must be a medicine that could make the old lady feel comfortable and forget her pain. Faust thought for a while and told Maganlei to come back in two days.
Two days later, Faust gave Maganlei a bottle of medicine and a small spoon, and specially warned her, "According to your request, this is the most effective medicine in the world, it can make the body comfortable and not feel pain.
However, it cannot cure the old lady's illness, it can only make her feel no pain until death comes. You must make it clear that she can only take it once a day, and only one spoon at a time, otherwise it will be harmful. "
Faust was, of course, the best potion master in the Assyr Empire. He gave Maganlei a strong analgesic, and at the same time, it had the magical effect of anesthesia and soothing the soul, and could even stimulate the potential of a person's life. However, it must not be taken in excess, otherwise it would cause an illusory pleasure, and not only was it easy to become addicted, it could also endanger one's life.
The method of making this medicine was a secret of the Temple, and it was very precious. Usually, only noble generals with high status on the battlefield would carry it with them. It could make a warrior forget the pain in battle, and temporarily release the greatest potential.
Temporarily unleashing his greatest potential. If he was seriously injured, this painkiller could save his life at a critical moment. The bottle in Maganlei's hand was personally made by Faust, so it was naturally the best.
When Maganlei returned with the medicine, Faust said again, "Since Hism is dead, you are also free.
Now that you are free, leave that family. You don't owe them anything. If you are still worried about other things, I can order for Hism to be posthumously awarded the title of nobility, and give his family a generous pension. "
Maganlei snuggled in Faust's arms, almost speechless with gratitude. Finally, she raised her head and said, "I am willing to give everything for you, as long as you are happy. But after I leave Hism's house, where can I go? "
Faust replied, "I bought this house for you. With your craftsmanship, you can definitely support yourself and live a good life. Isn't this what you want?" Unfortunately, I'm very busy these days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see you for a while. "
Maganlei placed her hand on his chest and said, "Sage, you are not only my god, but also the hope of the entire Assyr Empire. Although I don't know much about national affairs, there are so many wounded soldiers returning from the frontlines, and the atmosphere in Nineveh is getting more and more tense. The whole empire must be in danger. Please don't delay national affairs because of me. I'm very grateful that you gave the order to compensate Hism's family, but if the Assyr Empire no longer exists, such an order will be meaningless. "
The Assyr Empire was indeed in danger. The territory that Emperor Shinnach had expanded had been taken away, and the remnants of the frontlines had retreated. The new nobles who had once migrated had now returned. How to accept and settle this group of people was the biggest headache for Assyr at present. If it was not handled well, there would be chaos. Samir sent Faust to the frontlines to reorganize the remnants of the army, accept, pacify, and deal with the refugees who had returned to the country. Only the sage could do this well.
Faust was busy at the border for many days, and finally managed to deal with the situation. Samir urgently summoned him back to the capital to discuss something important. Faust then rushed back from the border to Nineveh to see the women.
The years had made Samir more mature, but her charm was still there. She had a special temperament that had always attracted Faust. No matter what situation she was in, she seemed to be so strong. But Faust knew very well how much patience and helplessness this seemingly resolute supreme warrior had experienced.
Thinking back to the time when she was unwilling to marry Shinnach, but she still married him. She may not have wanted to become an empress, but she still ascended to the throne.
Now that the Assyr Empire was in a precarious situation, Faust hoped that Samir could show him the soft side of her heart, so that he could cherish and comfort her. But Samir's expression was still so calm and composed. Since Shinnach's death, the empress had never shown any warmth, even when they were talking about critical matters.
Samir first expressed her condolences to Faust for his recent hard work, and then casually mentioned, "I heard that you spoke to the military, and generously compensated an officer named Hism, and conferred a posthumous title on him."
Faust replied with some surprise, "Your Majesty is actually concerned about such a small matter? Is there something wrong with my handling?"
Samir shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong with it. The soldiers who sacrificed themselves for the country should be given good treatment, not to mention the people you care about, Lord Imperial Tutor. Compensating one person is easy, but there are so many dead and wounded soldiers. The families of the dead need compensation, and the wounded need treatment and care. At present, the treasury is empty, and there is not enough. Does Lord Imperial Tutor have any way to solve this urgent problem? "
Faust frowned and said, "We have lost the property and taxes of six cities, and there are so many wounded soldiers that need to be settled, and so many families that need compensation. Taking out such a large sum of money at once is beyond the financial capacity of the Empire. But there is no other way. At present, there is only one way. Perhaps we can try. "
Faust's suggestion was to recoin. The Assyr Empire would issue a new currency to replace the parangons and gold that could be used in all the countries of the continent, and then compensate the soldiers in the form of imperial currency. This could temporarily tide over the crisis.
Samir frowned and asked, "Will this really work?"
Faust replied, "It will definitely work. It can temporarily solve the financial crisis. But the consequences may be very serious, and it will cause prices to skyrocket. Money has to buy things in order to have value. "
If the Assyr Empire cannot regain its prosperity, what we are doing today is no more than giving a sick person a dose of anesthetic and painkiller, and it is harmful to the body. "
Samir sighed, "But even knowing this, we still have to do it. Just like that patient, if he does not take this dose of medicine, he will immediately die from the pain. If he takes this medicine, although it is harmful, there will be other ways to treat him in the future. Lord Imperial Tutor, how can we eliminate the consequences of doing this in the future? "
Faust muttered, "If the Assyr Empire can regain its strength, increase its production, and prosper …"
It will naturally be able to digest the disaster. "
Samir looked straight into his eyes and asked, "Lord Imperial Tutor, the most knowledgeable person in the entire Empire.
Wisest man, do you think the Assyrian Empire can wait for that day? "
Faust was silent, not daring to meet the Empress's gaze. He lowered his head for a long time before replying, "If the Assyr Empire does not exist, will Your Majesty still need to consider so many problems? We can only solve the problem in front of us first, and there may be a turning point in the future. "
When he said these words, Faust's heart was filled with pain and helplessness. His life's ambition was to use his knowledge to bring prosperity and prosperity to the Assyr Empire. In the process, he would also achieve his ideals and pursuits. But now, the "prescription" he prescribed for the financial crisis of the Assyr Empire was a poisonous and bitter medicine. Although it could temporarily maintain the Empire's operations, it would bring suffering to the people.
To be honest, this suffering was not caused by Faust, nor was it caused by the prescription he prescribed. It was the inevitable consequence of the Assyr Empire's defeat and decline. Faust was only trying to maintain the financial crisis of the Empire, and gave a patient a dose of anesthetic to temporarily relieve the pain. He knew the cause and effect of everything, but that was the only thing he could do.
Samir's voice was full of regret, and she asked again, "Faust, even you are feeling despair. Are you going to give up?"
This was the first time she called him by his name. Faust shuddered and raised his head, "No, I am not willing to give up. As long as Your Majesty is still alive, I will do everything I can. Samir, you should know my heart. The fiery love I have for you has never been extinguished. Everything I do is not only for the Empire, but also for you. "
He also called Samir by his name, finally expressing the love in his heart. Samir was slightly moved, but she quickly regained her composure. She lowered her eyes and said, "Lord Imperial Tutor, I have always known what you are thinking, but please don't say anything more. I respect and thank you, but I don't have the feelings you are looking for in my heart.
After Sinnach's death, I inherited the throne, but I have to watch the country fall in my hands. Is this the punishment of the gods? "
Faust could not help but stand up and take a step forward.
"Do you want to give up the throne? Forgive me for being bold, but I can see that you are not willing to sit on this throne. If you hand over the throne to Sinnach's son, I am willing … "
What is he willing to do? Before he could finish, Samir waved her hand and interrupted him. She regained the majesty of an emperor and said resolutely, "I will not give up the throne at this time and let someone else be the ruler of a fallen country! I will do everything I can to save Assyria, even if it is beyond saving. Lord Imperial Tutor, are you willing to do the same? Not for me, but for yourself! "
Faust placed his hand on his chest and said, "Of course I am willing to work for the prosperity of Assyria. This has always been my vow. Your Majesty, what do you need me to do? "
Samir looked up at him with an indescribable expression. She slowly replied, "I am thinking about something. Perhaps it is the last hope to save Assyria. I will ask for your help when I have thought it through.
Oh, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. Something happened to Hismu's family not long ago. Hismu's mother died from overdosing. The servants accused Hismu of taking in a prostitute named Maganlei. It is said that she poisoned the matriarch's mother to death. "
Faust was shocked. He did not have the time to ask Samel how he knew about the case. He blurted out, "How is that possible?! What happened to Maganlei now? "
Samel looked at him and answered unhurriedly, "I don't think it's possible either. The sheriff who investigated the case found the medicine she gave to Matriarch. It turned out to be the magic medicine that only the honorable noble generals could receive from the temple. But no matter how they interrogated her, Maganlei did not tell them who gave her the medicine. She only said that a miracle happened and that it was a gift from the gods. Lord Imperial Tutor, what do you think of this case? "
Faust replied, "The medicine is real. The girl would never poison the old lady. It should be the old lady who took the medicine improperly.
Your Majesty, you seem to know something about me. I was the one who gave her the medicine! "
Samir retracted his gaze and nodded. "I see. Maganlei is still in prison. Since the Lord Imperial Tutor has said so, she is innocent. You have just returned from the frontlines and must be tired. There are still many personal matters to deal with. Please leave. "
Why did Maganlei refuse to say Faust's name? Because she could not explain why Faust gave her this precious magic medicine. During the war, this kind of medicine was prohibited among the people. It was specially provided by the temple to the high-ranking military generals.
She used to be a prostitute. Hisham was convicted of causing trouble for her and later took her home.
Although Hisham did not marry her, in the eyes of others, she was undoubtedly Hisham's woman.
Even if she was just an abused maid in Hisham's house, she was still Hisham's woman.
The Sage State Teacher Faust, who was revered by tens of thousands of people in the Empire, had actually schemed to get close to her and hang out with a woman like her. No matter if she had seduced him or he had seduced her, this was a serious blow to Faust's prestige and reputation. Even if Maganlei said it, no one would dare to believe it. Moreover, Maganlei was full of gratitude to Faust. Why would she hurt his reputation?
Faust left the palace and returned to the Divine Temple. He immediately ordered someone to summon the security officer of Niveh City and let Maganlei go. Since Faust had said in front of Queen Samir that the medicine was given by him, there was no need to hide it from the sheriff. However, his explanation was very dignified. In the temple, the Sage Imperial Tutor happened to hear Maganlei's prayer to the gods. The girl prayed to the gods for the mother of a soldier who had died in the war. She hoped that there would be a magical medicine that could soothe the old lady's pain. Faust was moved and gave the girl a bottle of medicine. He told her what to pay attention to when taking the medicine. The girl could not have poisoned the old lady. It was the old lady who broke the taboo when she took the medicine.
Maganlei was acquitted. In fact, she had already explained to the sheriff that the old lady felt very comfortable after taking the medicine. She did not listen to the sheriff's warning and secretly took more of the medicine. The more she took, the better it felt. The old lady could not help but take a few spoonfuls every day. In the end, she lost her life.
Hism's mother was already so ill that she didn't feel any pain. However, if she took too much, she would die even faster. The sheriff knew that if no one had accused her, he wouldn't have charged Maganlei with a crime. There were two main reasons for detaining the girl in prison. One was that Hism's family would not let her go. The other was to find out the origin of the forbidden medicine.
As soon as Faust spoke, the sheriff naturally did not dare to say anything else. He could only praise the Sage Imperial Tutor for his compassion and virtue. He then immediately rushed to the prison to release Maganlei.
Faust felt very sorry. The medicine he gave the girl out of kindness had almost killed her. He also knew why Maganlei had insisted on not saying Faust's name during the interrogation. He was filled with gratitude. The poor girl still did not know that Faust was the one who had injured Hism and disappeared.
