When Eos Kavso heard the word " Babylon," he shuddered, as if he heard the God of Fate's mocking voice at his oath by the river. He knew that if he was forced to follow the team to Babylon, he would deviate from the original route and return to Mugala even further away.
However, things developed just as he did not want. The original team merged with the war elephant team and headed towards the mouth of the Yindu River. Meanwhile, Eos was still treated as a deserter. He tried to escape several times, but to no avail. After they were brought back, more shackles and shackles were added each time.
A month later, they arrived at the port of Pataris, where the team was divided into three teams. One team returned to Persia via Kamaniya, another team returned to Persia along the path of the Gedrosia Desert and Moclan, and the last team boarded a giant galleon, carrying one-third of the war elephants along the coast of the Persian Gulf to Babylon. Coincidentally, Eos was assigned to this team, separated from the group of soldiers who had framed him earlier. His shackles were removed and he temporarily became a member of the oarsmen.
A few days later, when the fleet docked at Port Silaf for a temporary rest and resupply, Eos, who had been forgotten by most people, took the opportunity to jump off the ship and into the sea.
Not long after, in a Zoroastrian temple not far from the mausoleum of Cyrus the Great, which was repaired by Aristo Blues, a priest in a black robe, Rosista, lit a fire in the altar of divine fire in front of a statue of Ahura. The priest was in a daze from the fire and did not notice a scimitar placed beside his thick beard.
" Shh, don't talk. " Another man in a long robe grabbed the old priest's arm and pulled him back to the room next door." I've been looking for you for a long time and found out that you were here.』
Who are you? I don't know you…Don't mess around! the priest said nervously.
You don't know me, but I think you know my mother.』
'Your mother? Could it be…Could it be that you're Inanna's child?』
" Hmph, you were my mother's best friend when she was alive. Why did you betray her?』
" It's not me, it's the High Priests of Ecbatana. They wanted to harm your mother. They said that they wanted to eradicate those pagans and polytheists. I even went to the capital to persuade them to stop. If I hadn't been able to recite the Avesta chapters that hadn't been burned, I would have been killed as a pagan.』
Eos put his knife back and asked,"" In my childhood memories, my mother mentioned you many times. You were my mother's teacher, and because you were proficient in Achaean mythology, you were hired as a personal teacher in the palace. Later, due to the rise of Zoroastrianism, Mother fled the capital, and you continued to serve the court. Even so, every time Mother mentioned you, she still had that nostalgic tone. It seems that she trusted you very much. So I came here today because I have a lot of questions that I don't understand. I hope that the knowledgeable you can answer them.』
Zhua Xishida stroked his beard and said with a smile,"You look so much like your mother. If you have any questions, please ask as much as you can. It can be considered as me making up for what happened to Inanna.』
Eos nodded and asked,"My mother has left politics and moved to the border of the Empire with the nameless woodcutter. They settled in that sparsely populated village. Why are those people still chasing after her?"』
" Before Zarathustra appeared, the people of this land believed that in the future, a saint named Mithra would save all suffering lives. The noble Zarathustra, who claimed to have received an oracle, also predicted that his third child, a boy, would be Mithra the Savior. However, when his third child was born, he was surprised to be told that she was a girl. This did not match his prophecy, so he believed that he was cursed. You abandoned her in the desert, and she became your mother.
At that time, Zarathustra was condemned as a heretic, until he got to know the real royal family and became good friends with them.
However, many years later, after Zoroastrianism gained power, Zarathustra was walking in the palace. He was surprised to find that the girl adopted by the court was actually an abandoned baby that the royal family had accidentally encountered while hunting in the wild. It was her daughter, and now she was recognized as the reincarnation of the pagan high priest. Although Zarathustra had no more children, he still believed that your mother was cursed by the demon Ahriman. He believed that she should have been a boy, but because of the curse, she became a girl, and that she had the power to destroy everything in opposition to the savior. Before he died, he ordered that no matter where this girl ran to, he would kill her. Thus, even though your mother had concealed her identity, her identity was still bought by someone to the High Priests of Ekbatana.』
" I think I know who betrayed her. 'Eos muttered softly.
'What?』
Oh, nothing…By the way, I also want to ask: When my mother was alive, did she mention the key to solving the mystery and the method to make people immortal, as well as a story about a huge wave?』
Zhua Xishida stroked his beard again, tilted his head and pondered,"" This is the first time I've heard of it. Your mother never talked about this. Sigh, no…" The old priest suddenly remembered something." Although your mother didn't mention this, I seem to have heard someone talk about it before. The story of eternal life, the flood, and the salvation of life.』
"Who said that?』
He thought about it again and raised his index finger." Many years ago, some scholars from the West came here to discuss with me the myths and history of other peoples. They once mentioned a book called the Torah, which recorded a flood that occurred in various parts of the earth in ancient times. They mentioned a man named Noah. He built an ark to save animals and took refuge from the flood. Later, he became a farmer and planted a grape garden.
" It's a pity that I don't have these books from the West here. If you want to have a deeper understanding, I'm afraid you'll have to go further west. The people there might know.』
" I have one last question.』
Please speak.
" Where do you think my mother might have been buried by those who killed her?』
" I don't know. " Lao Xishida shook his head.
So Aeos Kafso, Inanna's son, bid farewell to her mother's old friend and continued north. There were two paths in front of him. Going west would bring him closer to the answer to his mother's mysterious poem. Perhaps the clue to the second key was hidden in the Torah or the mysterious hermit. To the east was the way back to Mugala, to save that poor soul.
There was no doubt that Aeos Kavso chose the latter, even though he knew very well in his heart that the future memories of Amytis would happen no matter what. However, at this moment, he still chose this path because solving his mother's last wish was no longer a top priority. So, he knelt down under the moonlight and silently apologized to his father and mother in his heart. Then, he set off on the road to Camania City in the east.
" Do you want to save one person or all lives? " Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind. This was what his teacher, Nahajuna, had asked him before he died. For some reason, he suddenly recalled some of the words his teacher had said, some of which he had never understood." Eos, as I said, you came here to learn to read Akashic in order to save your mother. But when you have seen the suffering lives of countless beings, I believe that you will realize why Vishnu thirsts for infinite knowledge: Because he wanted to save all lives. And at that time, I believe that you will also regard this as your most important wish and continue to move forward.』
Eos thought back to his teacher's teachings, and now he finally understood the truth. Until he read the tragic future of Amityse, he could not understand the truth.
" If I go back and save her alone, what's the use? He lowered his head silently, tears flowing out of his eyes once again.'All living beings are still suffering, and the way to save everything may be in the west, hidden in the remaining Istria. 'He said to himself,' One day I will save you, because then I will find a way to save everyone.』
In the unseen world, he felt that the path his mother wanted him to take was the one his teacher, Reverend Gahajune, had mentioned. The two paths led to the same destination: It was the path to saving everything.
Thus, he turned back once again and walked resolutely in the northwest direction.
