Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 2 Chapter 11: On the quarry

Finally, Alexander gave a bribe to the clerk according to the instructions of others.

Just looked at the black pearl in his hand, the clerk's face was full of doubts.

"This is very precious," Uliu explained tirelessly next to him. "Be sure to keep this after showing it to the adult. If you can get it back, my lord will give you a better price than this one." Pearl also has a valuable reward. "

The clerk looked at the pearl suspiciously, and then nodded reluctantly. For him, even if this Moorish was telling lies, it was okay. After all, he had already got a pearl that looked really valuable. If you ca n’t get a better reward, then I ’ll watch it later.

Looking at the leaving clerk, Mahimo licked his dry lips and couldn't help but look in the direction of the distant volcano. Although it was blocked by a high wall, he seemed to have felt that terrible.

"It won't let us go to the quarry, after all we have given the man money, right?" Mahimo whispered, and then he stood up and looked up at the hot sun above his head. "If you really want to go to the quarry, That is to go to hell. "

However, Mahimo soon discovered that he had the potential to be a prophet.

Didn't wait for the clerk to bring back the letter, the quarry had already sent someone to choose the hard labor to work.

Alexandria was unfortunately selected, and Uliu was going to suffer with his master. Originally, Mahimo was thankful that he had escaped a disaster, but when he saw the husband and his companion grinning badly, he only After thinking about it, I immediately volunteered to stand up and take the initiative to do hard labor, and also quoted the sentence that **** faced when he walked through the hardship.

It was only when he finally embarked on the bitter road leading to the quarry that Mahimo realized that not everyone can imitate **** Christ.

If July is the hottest season of the year, then Mount Vesuvius is undoubtedly the hottest place in the scorching summer heat that can take people out of the sun.

Is full of light brown white sensson rocks, even under some steep mountain walls, because of the heat, it is difficult to show a little green.

As long as you open your mouth, dry hot air will pour into the cavity, and then directly into the lungs along the throat, this will make people feel as if a fire is burning in the body, if you keep walking under your feet, then this The fire will continue to heat up until one's consciousness is completely burned to the ground.

Alexander had seen more than one person fall down like this. Although the soldiers who did not appear to be escorted walked over and cut off the throat of the unlucky ghost with a sword, they would be dragged up and pushed forward.

Alexander looked up at the top of the mountain road, and the Vesuvius volcano that seemed to be in front of him but could not be reached was "not far away" in front.

It ’s a terrible volcano. The reason why it is terrible is because it has been raged many times in the early years. It has never been known that it has devoured countless lives. The cities built around this volcano have faced its terrible destruction. The threat of power, as for the famous ancient city of Pompeii that was swallowed up by this volcano, was still buried under the deep volcanic ash at this time. It would take nearly three centuries to be discovered.

And since the mountain, the strange smell that can be smelled from far away reminds people that the really terrible place of this volcano is that it is still "alive"!

The quarry is located at the northern foot of the volcano. Because of the high volcano, the sea can not be seen from here, and naturally the sea breeze will not feel the slightest cooling.

There are only bare stones and dust flying everywhere.

The volcanic ash covered by multiple eruptions formed a mountain like a waterfall downward on the mountainside, and the quarry was on a slightly gentle **** of this waterfall.

Far away, you can see the black dots swaying on the mountainside, the faint percussion sounds coming one after another.

The two men used a wooden board to carry a pile of gravel down the mountain road. When they saw Alexander and them, the two men were covered with dust and their faces were unclear. They seemed to show a very unsmiling smile. .

"Look, finally we have come for us!"

Turned around and shouted, and then threw the wooden board down the hillside as soon as he turned his wrist. At the same time, cheers came from the mountain.

The guards didn't seem to care about these shouts, they just stared at the newcomers.

Then, a person walked down the mountain road, holding a whip in his hand and could not beat the leg, because the hot sweat had soaked the clothes on his chest, and perhaps because of the heat, his emotions also seemed very not good.

"It's these people?" The man asked the escorted soldier, and then flicked the person in front of him with a whip. When he walked in front of Uliu, the man leaned forward and sniffed his nose, his face There was a disgusted expression on his face, "Do you want to use it even by the Moors now?"

"He came with his master," the escorted guard explained, and pointed to Alexander "This person is his master."

"A young master," the man picked up the hat on his head with a whip and walked to Alexander, looking at the pretty face of the teenager in front of him, he pressed the whip on Alexander's shoulder. "Tell me what you did, It ’s best to tell the truth young people, this is not a place for you like a young master. "

"My accompanying priest had a dispute with others, and I helped him fight," Alexander said unhurriedly. He knew that the reason why the person suddenly became interested in him should be a misunderstanding of what he is rich. The young master thought that he could use this opportunity to blackmail himself. "But I don't think I can stay here long. If you can help us, I will repay you."

"So how do you want to repay?" The man smiled. He felt that the young man was still very kind. At least he should be humble when he knew that the situation was not good.

"I can let people send you a lot of food. As for you personally, I think as long as the money is enough." Speaking of this, Alexander stared at this person closely.

He noticed a slight twitch in the man's face when he talked about food, which made him more certain about his previous guess.

"If I don't want money, how much food would you give me?" The man asked with interest "How can I wait for you now?"

"You can send people to the city, but it would be better if I could give me a message before that," Alexander finally expressed his most urgent hope, and since he had almost heard something, he could not wait to be early. Leave from here. "Just send someone to the Aragonese station to find Lord Gandosa of Varash and tell him that Alexander Juliant Gumbre is here and you will get what you want."

After speaking, Alexander showed his most sincere smile.

It was just that he didn't expect that when he heard his words, the same smile that the man had originally showed disappeared instantly, and then he suddenly raised his whip in his hands, and drew his head in a dizzying light to Alexander!

Instinctively raised his hand to block, and a sudden sting came from the wrist!

"Shut up, you **** Aragonese, if you think you can touch me by eating a little, you are too self-righteous!"

The man held up his whip and could not stop whipping. He didn't care about Uliu and Mahimo who rushed to block. Until Mahimo gave a few shouts, he only had a light meal. ,

"Come on, swing your whip against the sacred vestment," Mahimo opened his arms like a personal cross and stood in front of him. "Bring violence on the sacred cross, let everyone see how you are Treat God's servants. "

The man was obviously at a loss because of Mahimo ’s move. Although he held his hands up and shook but could n’t beat for a while, he suddenly turned around and commanded the guard aloud: “Let them go to the West End, if they ca n’t hit two every day. If the stones are doubled, they are not allowed to eat! "

It wasn't until the angry warden went away that Uliu lifted Alexander, while Mahimo next to him couldn't help shaking his head, he just put his whole body on again and only wore a shabby monk's robe for a day, and then he used Asked in a low tone with a pleading tone: "My friend, do you think the person you are looking for can really help us?"

"Trust me, if I guessed right, he actually needed my help," Alexander slapped the dust on his body, and although he was hit with a few lashes, he smiled, and then he suddenly said to Mahimo: "Oh, if I want you to be my accompanying priest now, would you agree?"

"Adult, I am a devout, monk who follows Benedict's canon like protecting his eyes, and swears that keeping chastity and poverty and avoiding the world is the way to pursue truth in my life. What does it do. "

Majimo said with regret, that he looked so pious, and some people began to feel that he had been illusioned by running around the yard that was chased by her husband.

Even Uliu was somewhat moved.

When everyone thought that Alexander had been rejected, Mahimo suddenly looked up:

"But I saw other things from you, something that made me feel that even if I was severely punished for violating the canon, I should be more persistent in exploring, so I am happy about your invitation, please allow me to kiss your hand , And then let me follow you. "

"This cheat eats and cheats!"

Uliu shouted in his heart.

The Western District is the worst place in the quarry. It is completely exposed to the hot sun. There is no slight green and no shade on the bare mountains. Such weather will soon sweat if you stand still. For prisoners forced to work, this is the real hell.

In addition to the heat, the large and small sulfur pools formed by the volcano emit unique odors, and yellow smoke from near and far from time to time emerges from the cracks in the ground, accompanied by the odor emitted by the thick smoke People are sick.

Alexander was forced to do twice as much work as others. When he struck the stone with pliers and mallets, every time he swung his arm, it seemed that he had to exert enough energy on his body.

So when the trumpet sounds, do n’t say more than twice the share, not even the original share.

Watching the others leave with a soup-like rice bowl, the three of Alexander looked expressionlessly at the warden standing there and watching them sneer. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"My Master Aragon, the feeling of hunger must be uncomfortable, but I hope you can remember this feeling," the warden walked up to Alexander and stared at him "so that even if you return to your palace in the future, I ca n’t feel how hungry. "

Finally, the warden pushed Uliu next to him and walked to his house.

"It seems that I'm really going to be hungry today," Alexander waved his hands weakly, and led the two people who were also nearly collapsed to lie down under a big rock.

"Master, I don't know when you can leave." Uliu asked weakly.

"Wait," Alexander licked his lips. Thirst was more unbearable than hunger. "Sleep first, and you won't be hungry when you fall asleep."

"What about tomorrow," Mahimo wanted to draw a cross to comfort himself, but waved his hand in half and gave up. "Tomorrow we may not even have the strength to swing the hammer."

"Hopefully someone will come to find us tomorrow," Alexander finished talking and fell asleep on the stone.

In a trance, Alexander felt that someone was shaking him non-stop, and he barely opened his eyes to see the face that Uliu and Night had mixed together.

"Master, someone came to pick us up!"

The Moorish voice awakened Alexander with excitement. He climbed up to see Mahimo next to him, crying crosslessly, and saw a few trances not far away.

One of them walked slowly towards them stepping on the stone. As he approached, Alexander saw his face clearly.

"Dear messenger, I didn't expect to meet here." The man's face was ugly.

"I did not expect it," Alexander smiled slightly "Master Josulnan."
