MTL - To Four Thousand Years Later-Chapter 24 second devil
Ask an inner guard to greet Priest Zadok who will come over later, and Solomon goes out first.
He walked all the way in the direction Baimon pointed out, but he met an unexpected person in front of the simple house.
"Long time no see, Norm!"
Solomon blinked in surprise, and smiled at Noam: "How is the salted fish?"
"You are the Temple of Solomon... no, King Solomon?"
And Norm was taken aback when he saw Solomon.
He was about to kneel down to Solomon at that time, but before he had time to kneel down, Solomon gently held his shoulders, preventing him from kneeling down.
Then Solomon laughed and hugged him, and patted him firmly on the back.
"Not so polite."
Solomon patted him on the shoulder: "You are my friend."
Noam smiled gratefully upon hearing this.
"Abishag? Where are you?"
Solomon yelled.
Although I felt that no one here would know Baimon, and no one would know Abishag... But just in case, Solomon still called him by the name that could be revealed to others.
"Here I am, Solomon."
Baimon's cold voice came: "There is also her, Yastaru. The demon **** of Ishtar...I have persuaded her, and she is willing to follow you."
As he spoke, he led a young girl out of a nearby private house.
She was about sixteen years old, about two heads taller than Baimon, but only up to Solomon's shoulders. This girl has black shoulder-length curly hair, tired eyes that are green and transparent like jade, and her skin is as white and bright as a lake under the moon.
Abigail can still be vaguely seen from her face. But the presence of the two can be said to be completely different.
After seeing Solomon, she sized him up carefully, sniffed him lightly, and immediately showed a surprised expression.
"You are... Lord Solomon..."
"Abigail! Call King Solomon!"
Norm called out to her nervously.
Immediately, he stood in front of Abigail and said intermittently to Solomon with a smile: "Well...look, king. Abigail can see suddenly...and her appearance and skin are better. Because you became a king, the Lord gave her alms... no, no no no no... I didn't mean that..."
"Take it easy, Norm."
Solomon patted his shoulder warmly, pointed to Baimon with his chin: "Look, Abishag is the same as her."
"...that little girl with short brown hair?"
"Ah...almost."
Solomon didn't explain too much to him, just nodded. Bai Meng gave him a sideways glance, without saying a word.
He said solemnly to Noam: "I just want to ask you something. Do you know who Abigail is?"
Hearing this, the sneer on Noam's face froze.
He paused, and the smile he squeezed out turned into a wry smile: "You're right, I really don't know..."
"More than ten years ago, when I was still strong enough to fish, I came home from the boat and found her as a baby in the reel. I swear to the Lord, I really didn't put her in it ..."
Norm paused, lowered his head and said, "I think she is the child given to me by the Lord. I will name her Abigail."
Abigail - The name means "Fountain of Joy" or "Her Father's Joy".
"Then how did you get the people in the village to accept her?"
Seeing that Norm was still a little nervous, Solomon could only continue to ask in a gentle voice.
"Let me just say, she had a mother, but she was scared away after giving birth to a blind girl. Marshal Joab came to check the number ten years ago, but fortunately he didn't check it very carefully, so Abigail was able to live come down..."
Noam knelt down to Solomon and stammered, "Abigail at that time...she was really a normal child. Really, king. Except for being able to heal people...she was not as beautiful as she is now I'm afraid, and I won't shine from my hands, floating out of thin air..."
"Relax, reassure. Norm."
Solomon smiled and comforted her in a low voice: "Others can't tolerate her. I can do it here because I am Solomon. Solomon of Israel..."
After saying that, he looked towards Yastaru.
The content of the green name tag on her head has long since changed.
— Yastaru, sixteen years old.
"...Anyway. I'm taking her, Norm."
Solomon said seriously to Noam: "If she continues to follow you, you will kill her. I promise you can come to see her once a year, but she must be with me, and you can't mention her name to the outside world...don't worry , I will treat her well."
Norm looked at Solomon's eyes without seeming to be fake, but slowly calmed down.
He looked at Solomon, then looked back at the unfamiliar Abigail, and asked hesitantly, "What do you think, Abigail."
Yastaru immediately responded in a soft voice: "I want to go..."
"...That's good." Norm finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood up and nodded respectfully to Solomon: "King Solomon, please wait a moment, I have something to offer you."
With that said, he returned to the carriage in front of the house, took out a box and opened it, then looked around before coming out.
"Although the salted fish sold very quickly last time, I went back and made another cart. But this time it didn't sell well..."
Noam murmured: "We won't be able to go back for a while. Someone lent us this house. I can only give him one-tenth of the money from selling salted fish...but fortunately This house was not seen because Abigail suddenly changed its appearance before."
As he spoke, he walked up to Solomon. Looking around, he shook Solomon's hand in a concealed manner, and said in a low voice, "This is... I was lucky enough to get two pearls. It was originally intended to be a dowry for Abi...but now it seems that it is unnecessary. "
As he spoke, he let go of his hands, and left two eyeball-sized pearls in Solomon's hands.
"...This is an incredible treasure, Noam."
Solomon was taken aback for a moment, and sighed, "This thing could have made you rich and honored."
Noam smiled wryly: "How dare I sell it, Your Majesty... Not every rich person is as reasonable as you."
"Don't worry, Noam. I'm in the process of forming a business group... You will be able to see the first batch of businessmen this year."
Solomon smiled, and patted Norm on the shoulder hard: "Don't do this. This is not life or death."
"This is panic, my king. My daughter can be with King Solomon, this is something I can't even imagine..."
Norm smiled wryly and shook his head. There is a trace of satisfaction and joy in my heart.
Although Solomon said, he just took Abigail with him. But Noam thought, that probably meant that he was going to marry Abigail, right?
It is indeed Abigail's blessing to be able to marry King Solomon who is stronger than the demon **** Baal...
"I'll see you next year, Norm. I have government business to attend to when I get back."
Solomon nodded to Noam, then went to Abigail, lowered his voice and said softly, "Yastallu, hold my ring."
"Yes, my lord..."
The girl with curly black hair responded in a very soft voice, reaching out and slowly grasping the ring on Solomon's right hand: "I will walk with you."
As she spoke, she licked Solomon's ring very carefully, very carefully.
