Captain Miller put down the carbonized reed pen and finished the day's work.

He handed the clay tablets to his students, then got up and walked towards the window and pushed open the linen curtains, pushing open the transparent glass windows that were not supposed to be made in this era. The sunset along the coast of Mesopotamia broke in without hesitation, sprinkling a broken orange-red light into the room.

What kind of achievements can a man achieve if he can devote twenty years to a certain skill and career? Now he feels he can answer this question. Twenty years are enough to make his hair white and his knees sore. The high-back chair made of precious wood on the Mesopotamian plains cannot relieve the back pain that may be caused by age even if it is laid with the softest cashmere. None of these happened. He still looks like a middle-aged man, and his dark skin shows that he has long worked.

It was even more rough, but he was still strong and healthy - this was a gift from the emperor. After becoming a nominal priest, the emperor gave him a bottle of red medicine, which could allow him to maintain his youth and life - twenty years were enough to make him from an astronaut to an educator. He sorted out and mastered the cuneiform texts of the extremely surrounding areas of Eli, which gave him a very high social status. He was once carried away by a caravan with children far away from his hometown, and now he has become a smart and capable young man, such as the student beside him.

They wore simple linen uniforms that were completely different from local humans and had a completely different thinking pattern from this era. These children had met the emperor not long ago, but Captain Miller did not. He had not seen the emperor for a long time, and the emperor seemed to want to see him. Captain Miller was very satisfied that he could have peace with the emperor.

"Venus Day is coming soon, Teacher. The temple road will be filled with petals again." The student stood aside and said with a respectful expression.

The fired clay tablets are a dedicated person, and students no longer need to do it themselves. After the clay tablets are made, new apprentices will copy them on the sheep's fetal calf paper and put them in the temple's archives for archives. The emperor has brought great changes to Ellie. At least in this era, the alloy weapons and simple black gunpowder fixed-mounted guns that should not have been made are now hung by students at their waists. Weapons are very necessary for humans in this era, especially for students from the temple, and almost every one is a symbol of wealth. The safety of students is in Ellie and within hundreds of kilometers nearby, but it is difficult to guarantee that no one will make money even if they are far away. It seems that to avoid accidents, all students will participate in basic weapon training and learn how to use short swords and fixed-mounted black gunpowder weapons.

Ellie has changed more than this in the twenty years since the emperor arrived.

"Your marriage application has been approved, Kadmoz. I know this, and I am willing to give you a vacation that day." Captain Miller said gently like an elder. "Venus Day is the best opportunity for a partner to marry, and you should not give up on that girl."

“But my job application has also been approved.”

"You didn't tell me about this." Captain Miller raised his eyebrows, "What's the job?"

"I don't know, it was told by the Imperial Guards. The angel told me that I passed the test, but I didn't take the test." Kadmoz grinned embarrassedly, "Those who can accept the Imperial Guards' mission are the best apprentices. I was asked to go to the temple for training. Anyway, this is a good thing, isn't it?"

Kadmoz did not see his teacher as surprised as he expected, but instead was a little angry.

This made him feel overwhelmed and thought he had made a mistake.

"This is not your mistake, boy, you did a good job." Captain Miller suppressed his anger.

Every year, the Imperial Guards will take the best children away from themselves.

Kadmoz was a mechanical student, and his knowledge was so precious in this era that even the Imperial Guards decided to take him away. It seemed that the Imperial Guards believed that Kadmoz had a more important purpose. He would not know what kind of training those outstanding students would receive. Captain Miller's authority allowed him to know that the emperor had established an organization under the Imperial Guards, but the information he knew was limited to. This organization had some purpose that he did not know and followed logic that he did not understand, but Captain Miller knew that the selected students would not appear before him again. They would become agents of the Emperor, and travel farther away from the city to the Mediterranean coast of the north of the Mesopotamian Plain or more distant Egypt, and become informants of the Emperor and the Imperial Guards, where they would obtain intelligence or kill people.

He heard some rumors.

It is said that on the narrow Red Sea coast of the Suez Canal, someone has seen "Blue Angels". This rumor has been circulating for decades through the mouths of merchants. He is very sure that the so-called "Blue Angels" are some kind of aliens. The emperor did follow his promise to fight against all enemies, including alien aliens for the human race. However, Captain Miller knew that he could not bear such a responsibility, and he did not want the students he valued the most to waste their lives on fighting against the enemy's swords.

They have a more important responsibility, which is to pass on the knowledge he taught to future generations.

"You should enjoy your life, Kadmoz. Get that girl out, get married and have a few kids. I'll talk to Constantine, don't worry about Venus Day, Inanna will be happy that you can attend her festival."

Inanna is the emperor's guest and is now one of the mistresses of the temple.

Twenty years ago, when the emperor ordered the residents of Elidu to clean the city, pave the way, and sprinkle the petals of the road to the temple, Inanna became the emperor's guest. The thrilling young woman walked on the road under the emperor's equally delicate maid. She wore a coat like wings and a golden collar inlaid with lapis lazuli beads. In addition, her soft and smooth skin was exposed to the sun, and her whole body emitted a dreamy light. Even though she walked through the streets with her feet naked, Inanna's fair feet were not stained with dust.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is no doubt that this is a god.

All the residents of Eli watched the emperor stand in the square in front of the temple to welcome the woman. The "Golden Armored Angel" presents the goddess with gifts on behalf of the emperor. The gifts include lion skin peeled after the emperor hunts himself, fragrant soap (there were original soaps in this era), dates, milk, wheat and a rose seal that symbolizes identity. From then on, the rose seal became the symbol of this god. When the goddess put on the lion skin given by the emperor, she declared to the emperor's subjects that she lived in the wilderness and came to this city in order to gain the wisdom of the emperor.

After that, Inanna lived in a corner of the temple.

The people of Elidu believe that every morning the priests of the temple would make a bed for Inanna and sprinkle the ointment on the cashmere bed. Inanna would clean herself with soap, and then lay enthusiastically on the sweet cashmere bed to perform a sacred union ceremony with the emperor. Inanna would get satisfaction and pleasure, and then bless the women of Elidu. Therefore, young women and pregnant women would come to the temple with clay cakes made with obvious reproductive worship images, and under the guidance of the messenger Ningshupur, they would receive the blessing of Inanna who was fully armed. They called her "Goddess of Heaven" and "Lovers of God". They worshiped her, but not for marriage but for love.

All Elidu people know. To be precise, in the myth that Elidu people are allowed to know, Inanna complained to the owner of the City of Sweet Water, the God of Knowledge and Crafts, and the God of Wisdom, that she had been treated unfairly, but the emperor told Inanna that she already had her own power, so she no longer assigned her. The emperor gave Inanna sacred objects, including abstract concepts such as truth, victory, advice, and writing (text), and weaving techniques.

, law, priests and monarchs, in addition to armor, bows and a living lion. The day Inanna came to Ellidu was designated as Venus Festival, which is a festival that all ages, including Ellidu and its surrounding areas, will come to the city to participate. Whenever Venus Festival comes, the energy and tireless Inanna will wear high-heeled sandals to come to the crowd, inspiring young girls to accept their inner impulses and welcome their other half in love.

Regardless of what the so-called god is, Captain Miller's perception is obviously different from that of others.

Captain Miller knew that reality was far less beautiful than the myth. He did not think that as cold as the emperor, rational people would accept the inexplicable women to share their half bedroom. The so-called "Ningshupur" was actually the emperor's maid, Dinah. The emperor placed the maid next to the goddess to monitor the so-called gods from the wilderness. But it is undeniable that Inanna does have a certain status in the temple. The once young female officials have now entered the best childbearing age, and Dinah ordered them to train a group of new young girls to serve the emperor, and these girls are now serving Inanna. There are also rumors that the emperor also built a garden full of endless flowers for Inanna, but Captain Miller knew that the so-called courtyard was actually an experimental field for students of botany, biochemistry and pharmacy.

The emperor sat on the throne day after day, and for twenty years every civilian and priest allowed to enter the temple could see Him. On another smaller throne under the throne stairs of the temple hall, she twisted her body dissatisfied with Dinah's stern eyes, as if it was because the soft and slender cashmere costume made her skin itch far more delicate than ordinary people. She looked at the emperor who was handling official duties on the throne with a long look, and then was repeatedly tortured by the boring environment of the workplace. Whenever she tried to stretch her neck to find out the conversation between the emperor and the guards, the maid in a long skirt would block her and press her shoulders unceremoniously to fix her firmly on the throne.

The emperor waved, "Your weapon training today is not completed yet."

"Because you've been writing!" Inanna shouted dissatisfied.

Compared to how she had just entered Ellidu twenty years ago, Inanna has completely changed into a costume.

In order to limit her movements, Dinah specially chose tight evening dresses and high heels from the 21st century. Even Inanna couldn't maintain balance even if she stepped on them. However, she liked this high-heeled sandal that could kill people very much. Dinah could not imagine why her restrictions would fail, and even evening dresses could not bring any restrictions to Inanna. She is the goddess of sex and love, and was born because of the worship of fertility and reproduction at the beginning of human civilization. When she entered the city, she wore nothing except feather coats and lapis lazuli jewelry.

Compared with women's clothing in this era, backless evening dresses with slits to thighs can be called conservative or even fashionable. The only restrictive measure that can play a role is Dinah's strict control of cosmetics and daily necessities. Inanna is reluctant to let go of things that can only be obtained in Ellidu. If this was not the case, this god with her own little thoughts would have made a big fuss in this city long ago - Inanna thought she had obtained the holy relics of Ellidu and the most precious civilization, but the emperor's ability showed that the things that Ellidu people had obtained were not much value - she ran a farm with the emperor and learned planting and animal husbandry, and she did not think she had learned all the knowledge.

“I don’t need to participate in your training.”

The emperor glanced at her in a bad mood. He did not like to be disturbed when working, but His contract with Inanna could not restrain her at this time. After all, now he is only dealing with "daily affairs" rather than "urgent affairs". Inanna takes up His time for all. Inanna is the master of sex, breeding and war, and it is also related to justice and regime. It is not accidental that she came to Ellie. The emperor once saw Inanna actively transform into a cat animal - this is a talent,

Younita and Joan of Arc can also become felines and do not require spells - the emperor believes that the sadistic tendency of the Shadow Witch clan may have an unknown relationship with Inanna. The more reliable evidence is Inanna's appearance. When he lived and joined the Witch, he once saw an illusion. He once thought that Beunita was in the Mesopotamian plains of BC, but now Inanna's appearance shows that the illusion he predicted in the 21st century was actually Inanna, not Beunita.

The Supreme Master may have realized this and persuaded him to accept Inanna. The entanglement of fate between him and the Shadow Witch clan is far deeper than expected. This is one of the reasons why the emperor accepted Inanna. She is so much like Beyonetta. Another reason is that the emperor needs sufficient high-quality labor, and cooperation with Inanna is the best choice. As the worship of fertility by humans on the Mesopotamian plains, the southern coast of the Mediterranean and ancient Egyptian regions, Inanna can increase the fertility rate in Elidu. In addition, the midwife trained by the emperor, midwifery tools made by mechanics students and herbal extracts made by pharmacy, the infant death rate of Elidu has been reduced to 10%, and the annual average population growth rate has reached 6%.

Due to the reasons why the emperor built collective farms, built dams, and made large agricultural tools to improve efficiency, the grain output of Ellidu can now feed more than 7,000 residents of Ellidu. In addition, all villages within a 30-kilometer range can only support the small factories built by the emperor and produce qualified industrial products. Whether it is a collective farm, the factory is a labor-intensive industry. The emperor needs a large population, and Inanna is the best choice.

"But I want you. Whether day or night, whether Venus is on the horizon or under the horizon, every year, you are mine!" Inanna twisted and twisted on the throne and finally stood up. She raised her voice, like a roaring lioness swearing sovereignty, like the tone of Beyonetta and Joan of Arc when they were angry. "I will fight with you, An (who she calls the emperor), this is the terms we have negotiated!"

Inanna's willfulness made Dinah very angry. She glared at the goddess viciously, as if she was going to teach her a lesson again.

The former proudly raised his chest and accepted the challenge of Dinah. She had never thought that there had happened several times and it seemed that it would continue to happen. Perhaps it was the similarity between Inanna and Beyonetta, Dinah always quarreled with Inanna. When the emperor explicitly prohibited physical conflicts, the battle between Inanna and Dinah was still within controllable range. Almost every time, Inanna would admit defeat and beg Dinah to return the confiscated gems, perfume and cosmetics. Next time she would forget the previous lessons and challenge Dinah again. Their relationship was not always so bad. Inanna could give Dinah help in other aspects, and the latter was also very happy with the advice provided by Inanna, because Inanna did share the emperor's bedroom, and He was destined to be entangled with the Shadow Witch clan.

"My Lord." Dinah stopped persecution of Inanna and returned to her professional calmness. "Captain Miller wants to see you."
