"He's a man." Gabriel looked at Amon and said to Aristotle with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
Aristotle smiled and replied: "He is still an underage child, and he meets your requirements. My lord, you have also seen it. I am looking for a man in this town who has no dust on his hair and no mud in his nails." It is so difficult for people, I only found him. And there is one more thing I want to tell you, this child is the miner who mined the tears of the gods, if he does not have a pure heart, and is favored by the goddess Isis Is it the coming of the tears of God?"
Gabriel snorted, and his tone softened a lot: "I heard the discussion on the other side of the town, and I know who you brought. It turns out that the boy mined the sacred stone is the tear of the gods, but he was almost punished by the priest here. .”
Aristotle nodded: "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 penetrating power, as soon as his eyes met, he lowered his head involuntarily. This adult is very beautiful, the most beautiful woman Amon has ever seen, but Amon felt that her tall and straight figure had a surging tension, as if there was an illusion that she would push people away invisibly, giving people My first impression is not her beauty, but majesty.
Gabriel: "Amon, you can stay and change clothes with the maid later. The job you have to do is very simple, that is, to organize the eating and living utensils of Lord Maria... Well, you are a child, but Also note that when delivering things, you are not allowed to touch Mrs. Maria, and when Mrs. Maria is washing and resting, you must avoid it, and you must not make any noise... Also, everything you hear and see here, you must Don't say a word to anyone! 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 regulations of the temple. Even though Amon was still an underage boy, she reminded him not to touch Mary. Ya, or he would be punished, but he didn't say how, and Maria heard it upstairs.
Gabriel frightened Amon a few words, and then asked the maid to lead him to change clothes, because although the clothes on Amon were clean, they were very worn out. There was another reason why Gabriel wanted to find someone from the town to serve Mary as a servant. She didn't want anyone to know that Maria was learning magic. The news got out, but it was difficult for Rod Dick's entourage.
…
Just before meeting Maria, Gabriel was the most beautiful woman Amon had ever seen, but seeing Maria, Amon admired from the bottom of his heart that she should be the most beautiful woman in the world. The moment he saw Maria, he was even a little distracted, and subconsciously saluted, "Hello, honorable Lady Maria, I am the servant sent to serve you, and my name is Amon."
Maria was about the same age as Amon, at most only two years older than him, and she was about the same height as him, but Amon had to call her Lady Maria. Her hair is light brown, with a soft amber luster, and is slightly curly on her shoulders. Her eyes are also light brown with a little blue, like stars in the night sky, and like clear pools of water.
"Are you the miner who greeted the tears of the gods? Thank Goddess Isis for her blessing, and I want to thank you too!" When Maria spoke, she kept looking directly into Amon's eyes, her eyes were calm and gentle, Try to keep calm and calm, but can't hide a trace of curiosity.
This made Amon a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head habitually. Her facial features are beautiful, as beautiful as a hazy imagination in a dream, especially her eyes. Amon, who lowered his head, couldn't help but blushed a little, and thought to himself: "There has never been such a girl in Duke Town, why does she always look into my eyes? Actually, she is a girl about my age , I may not dare to look directly at her."
Amon's job is very simple, that is, to prepare the utensils needed for Maria's daily diet and daily life, and send them to the living room on the second floor. After Maria finishes using them, he will pack them up and hand them over to other servants. For example, Maria's three meals a day were delivered by Amon. Maria didn't eat much, and her appetite was less than one-third of Amon's, but there were a lot of things to prepare.
All kinds of silver tableware are placed on the small table. Amon needs to wash his hands clean, and then cut the food. The knife and spoon are placed in the prescribed positions. The silver pots containing goat’s milk, drinking cups, and small saucers dipped in salt and spices are placed on the left and right sides of the table respectively. The table should be placed facing Mary’s dining position, and the table should be put down firmly without any sound. Sound, let alone spill goat milk and soup on the table.
The dining table was quite heavy, and it was not easy for an ordinary fourteen-year-old boy to hold such a table up to the second floor and put it down without making a sound. But Amon can already control the heavy hammer to mine the god stone, which is very easy for him.
When Maria ate, she hardly made a sound, and even the tableware seldom collided. She was very quiet and seemed very cultivated. And Amon bowed and stood aside, waited for her to finish eating, then took the dining table away, then brought water to wash her face and mouth, went out to avoid, waited for Maria to finish washing, then came in and took away the vessel containing the water, Then stand on the stairs and wait for the call.
As a saintess, if you are in the Temple of Isis, you can have as many servants as you want, but Maria is in Duke Town, and currently there is only Amon as the servant who is directly responsible for the food and daily utensils.
Amon spent the longest time with Maria during meals. Amon, who grew up in Duke Town since childhood, has never seen a person whose body and clothes are so clean. Using clean to describe Maria may be It's not suitable, she gives people the feeling of a kind of purity. Maria didn't ask him, because Amon couldn't speak, but during the meal break, after Maria drank a sip of water or goat's milk, she would often ask him some questions, such as the situation in Duke Town, the situation of the miners mining She is also very curious about the history of Shenshi and so on.
Amon answered very carefully, and he found that Maria seemed to have a habit of naturally looking directly into his eyes when speaking, and the corners of her lips seemed to be slightly raised, with a gentle smile floating. This made Amon feel a little uncomfortable, his heartbeat was a little chaotic, and he didn't even know where to put his hands.
"She is beautiful, I really want to look at her, 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 little unspeakable depression.
Amon didn't know, but Maria didn't have this habit before, and now she was doing it according to Gabriel's instructions. Gabriel told her while teaching the divine spell—
"My lord Maria, you are very pure, which is exactly the temperament of a saint. But you are still too young and seem too docile. As a qualified saint, you protect the dignity of the goddess Isis, and you cannot Give anyone a sense of cowardice. From now on, you will pay attention to one thing, when you talk to anyone, look them directly in the eye.
Your eyes should be peaceful, but you can't flinch or evade, just like a goddess watching her people. Whether you are a prince, aristocrat or a slave or a commoner, you must look into their eyes like this when you are asking questions. This is a saint. No one dares to despise you. Under your gaze, they will feel the mercy of the great goddess Isis. "
But there was almost no one around Maria who could allow her to "practice" in this way, and the most suitable person was Amon. How could poor Amon know this? He was quite at a loss by Maria's eyes. Amon didn't know Maria's identity. Even if someone told him, he didn't know who the guardian saint of Isis Temple was. He only knew that Maria was a noble nobleman, and he had to call her Sir , no offense.
Was it an offense to take one look at this beautiful girl and meet her gaze? The old lunatic never told him about this situation, and it was even less likely that the alcoholic father would tell him. It shouldn't be counted, she is looking at me! —Amon thought so in his heart, and at the same time felt that his heartbeat was embarrassing, how could he be so disappointing
Fortunately, there were no other disturbing things. This job of one gold coin a day seemed easy, but something happened on the first night.
At that time, Amon had fallen asleep on the wooden board under the stairs, and was having a very hazy dream. In the dream, Maria looked at him, and he looked at Maria, with the same eyes. It felt strange, like sitting and resting by a pool of water after having just bathed in a cold spring in the Blackfire Forest.
At this moment, Amon suddenly heard a scream, the voice was not loud, and the voice was deliberately suppressed so that it was not so sharp, but it was obviously very scared. It was Maria's voice, coming from the room on the second floor. Amon jumped up immediately, he fell into a drowsy sleep, forgot that he was not at home in a trance, and his head hit the wooden board under the stairs in pain.
But Amon didn't care about these anymore, he jumped out from under the stairs, turned up the wooden railing with his hand, rushed upstairs in three steps at a time, and walked through the living room to the door of Maria's bedroom.
