Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 89: 087, You Shall Not Pray to Any Other God
Wallace was busy at the time, not arranging this immediately, but simply ordering the Guards to protect the estate and deliver enough food and water to Moses and others to wait for a while. Later, Gore returned to the state of Syria and advised Moses to stay, but Moses, in no way determined to remain there, asked the archmage to send them away safely.
Gore was also helpless and had to order his disciple Wallet to personally send Moses and others out of the border to protect them from harm on the way. Moses was asked before the trip: "If one day you can return home, would you like to come back? ”
Moses thought and didn't want to say, "Is it Duke Town? Of course, that's where I come from!” In his conception, the almost isolated town of Duke and the hateful state of Syria were two worlds, and on the day of the siege, his greatest desire was to return home to rebuild his homeland, which had become Moses' ideal for life.
Gore said something that Moses didn't quite understand: "You will be the rightful heirs to a very important piece of land, and wherever you go, you may face a painful experience. Your hometown will come out of the water, but in a few years' time, if you can really come back, don't forget what I did today. ”
Moses knelt on his knees and said: "Dear Archmage, I and my people will always be grateful to you, and in the future Moses will do his best to satisfy any request. ”
Wallet escorted Moses and others across the semi-arid marshes and across the desert with his guards, sending them all the way to the border of Syria City State. Moses came to Cape Town State to seek refuge with Lord Rhode-Dick. Nor was he demanding, only to buy a plot of farmland to live here temporarily, and the miners were strong young people who could fully feed themselves and wait for a chance to return to their homeland in the future.
Rhode-Dick, who has benefited a lot from the Mayor of Dasti, and whose old friend's orphanage begged to come to his house, should be fine, and he agreed to Moses's request and even plotted out a plot of land for them to live in. But not long later, there was another accident.
Moses and others came to Cape Town State to seek asylum. Shortly after Amon left Cape Town State, the news could not be withheld. It was soon passed to the capital of Ecu. Julian, the great sorcerer in Cape Town, also deliberately wrote secrets to Ecu Academy of Theology and Ecu Pharaoh. Rhode-Dick was soon ordered by Pharaoh to send the Guards to a designated location in the town of Duke.
Julian knew that Amon was a miner from Duke town, that he was a high priest of Isis Temple, and that he should have seen the Land of Marduk and learned a lot about it. It may be out of revenge for Amon, or it may be an invitation to Pharaoh. In short, what the newspaper said should not be good, and it is certainly impossible for Moses to know the details.
Moses was thus sent to Mount Ho, where he and the people of the town of Duke were confined to become the servants of Pharaoh, who were said to have been treated as foreign prisoners of war and were still engaged in the mining of sacred stones. Thinking that they had been brought in by Julian himself, Julian not only conveyed Pharaoh's orders, but also said privately that these people were disgusted and banished by the gods, and that they would lose their homes only if they were punished by the gods.
This is what Moses and others are probably going through, and Amon was caught in contemplation after hearing it, and I'm afraid what happened to the people wasn't just as simple as Julian's personal revenge on him. Even Rhode-Dick was unable to shelter them, and Pharaoh ordered their confinement directly here, I'm afraid for other reasons.
Maria once said to Amon, "I should thank you, and I should help with your business, but I don't know exactly how much I can help you.” Obviously, she knew about this, but there was nothing she could do to directly help Amon release these people.
Amon, after prompting the Goddess of Mu Yun, already knew that the area around the town of Duke would become a thousand miles of fertile earth. After prompting Schrödinger, he looked at the mythological volume "Land of Marduk", knowing that the place was likely to cause competition. He also saw the Mayor of Dasti lingering in the soul of the Underworld, knowing that Moses had the deed to much of the land around the town of Duke.
The Pharaoh withheld the people of the town of Duke, perhaps because of the very useful skill they possessed, and the most suitable mining of the sacred stones in Mount Ho. On the other hand, more importantly, do you want to stain that thousand miles of fertile soil in future disputes, and the Ecumenical Academy knows what's going to happen around Tucker? Such a thing may not be true. Since Goddess Mu Yun is well aware, then the god of Equ may also know, perhaps suggesting to the people.
Amon was silent for half a day, and then he whispered, “Moses, I hear you have the deed around Duke Town. Is that it? ”
Moses suddenly became alert: “Who did you hear? ”
Amon sighed and held his hand to his shoulder: “Don't doubt me, I wasn't ordered to test you, Mayor Dasti told me personally after I left Duke. ”
Moses had tears in his eyes: "I did not carry the deed, it was hidden in a hidden place in the State of Syria. My father sent me to the city and he died in the flood. What else did he say to you before he left? ”
Amon: "The town of Dasti is looking forward to you and the survivors of the town of Tuk returning home to rebuild their homes for a long time, and I was wondering, would you do that? ”
Moses couldn't help but nod his head and grabbed Amon's arm and said, "Yes, this is what I and everyone dreamed of! Amon, you are now Isis Temple's visiting envoy. Is there any way to save us? ”
Amon shook his head helplessly: “I am only a small archival guard at Isis Temple. It is impossible for Pharaoh to change the order to release you. This time I come to Mount Ho, I can only do my best to treat you better in the future. Rest assured, however, that after I left Duke, I listened to the message that the Messenger of the Spirit would guide you away from Ehu and return to your homeland. ”
Moses' hand grabbed tighter: "Will the messenger of God come to Mount Ho? When? ”
Amon patted his hand on the back: “Now that the Spirit has made a promise, please be patient and wait for the Oracle to guide you. The hope of the miners rests with you. You are their leader. All you have to do now is lead the people to live well and not lose faith and courage. ”
Amon did not say more things to Moses because he did not want to cause trouble with himself and his people. Some of the circumstances were not public. Moses knew too much too early to be good. His appearance only gave the people hope. After saving Moses for a full lunch, he was sent back.
……
Amon stayed in Mount Ho for more than a dozen days, nominally to nourish his injuries, and Blanca and John did keep their promises, and the living conditions of miners in Duke Town improved considerably. This group of people deserves better treatment for at least 40% of the production of sacred stones here by hand.
As John promised, as long as Amon doesn't take these people away, nothing else matters. In this remote part of Mount Ho, everything big and small is essentially up to Blanca and him. Amon took the opportunity to make a small request to move to live near the miners' residence, so that he could talk to the people at any time. He was very concerned about the situation in his hometown and couldn't finish his three words.
The rudimentary stone house in that village was naturally not convenient for Mr. Special Envoy to live in, and the nearest was the residence of the magicians who had mined the sacred stones. Blanca ordered the departure of the chief magician and let Amon temporarily set foot.
In fact, Amon didn't have to talk to the miners. After the flood, Duke town no longer existed. There was really nothing to talk about. He had other plans. He has made it clear that although many samurai and magicians are stationed here alternately, they are not well guarded.
Deep in the hinterland, there is no threat of war in peacetime, and no one is always nervous. On the other hand, He Mountain is a remote semi-desert area, more than 200 miles from the Ronnie River. There are no villages, towns and residents nearby. No one comes here to disrupt it. It is not easy for people here to escape. The mining effort is usually arduous, and there is no need to overregulate it.
He Liaoshan's guards are not weak, but none of them can compare to Amon in terms of personal abilities. Blanca is the highest in magic and John is the highest in physics. They are not as smart as Amon. There's always a way for Amon to keep secrets from other people's ears and eyes, as long as they're not too outspoken.
……
It was a late night when Moses was lying in bed, upside down, unable to sleep, and still remembering the scene of meeting Amon. The advent of Ammon offers a glimmer of hope to the people, and the treatment has improved considerably over the past few days, but is it true what he says, is there really a god who can guide them out of their predicament? Moses has been sleepless for three days, and the arrival of Amon brings new anxiety and anticipation.
And that's when he suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Moses, don't be afraid or surprised, the sound you hear is a guide from the gods. ”
Moses almost fell out of bed, measured left and right for half a day, and there was no shadow of anyone in the room. He sat excited and was about to speak, but heard the voice again: “Don't talk, you can't communicate with me in this way yet. Please follow my directions, put on your clothes and walk out, follow a glimmer of fluorescence onto Mount Ho, where I will wait for you. ”
Moses just felt his heart beat so hard that almost all of it would pop out of his voice. Amon said there would be a god to guide him. Did he show up so soon? He couldn't believe it but couldn't give up the opportunity to get up, get dressed, bite his teeth, and walk out of the stone house with his scalp.
There was a little light outside the door, like a lonely firefly in the night, and as soon as Moses went out, it flew away. The night was quiet and the silence was frightening, even the slightest footsteps seemed to echo, as if someone who could not see was following behind his back.
Moses was nervous and afraid that the guards would find him, but the fluorescence took him around the stone house, and he didn't happen to meet a man, and finally left the small village to go towards Mount Ho. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he looked back, and a few guards outside the distant village leaned asleep at the roots of the wall, as if he had not been found, before turning to the mountain to feel safe.
The mountains are a little steep, with sparse shrubs growing between the bare rocks, a little bit of fluorescence that slowly leads Moses from one of the easiest roads to the top of the mountain. Moses was so excited tonight that he always felt that there was an invisible force holding him up, and his footsteps were flying fast, and he was walking really fast.
The moon was bright and there was a man standing on the top of the mountain with a branch in his hand, blinded by a cloak. That little fluorescence flew to the top of the mountain and disappeared into his arms. He spoke to Moses, who stood clearly in front of him, and his voice sounded like it was coming from far away: "Moses, a child from Turk, do not be afraid, I am your Messenger! ”
Moses felt like a sleepwalker. He couldn't believe he just walked out of the stone house and followed a luminescence to the top of the mountain. He actually met this talker! He knelt down in the tunnel and said, "Are you really here to guide me and my people out of poverty? ”
The man nodded: "Yes, since I have guided you to this place to meet me, I will guide you and your people back to your homeland in the future. You must not have doubts in your heart. ”
Moses knelt on his knees for half a day without speaking, his shoulders trembling, and started crying silently. Amonzo, who hid his face in a cloak and changed his voice, asked, "What happened to you, why did you cry when you saw me? ”
Moses cried low: "I am crying for my miserable destiny, but also for my father, for the town of Duke! I have finally met you, may I ask, which god is this guidance from? ”
Ammon replied, "I made a promise in front of Moulin Goddess that I would guide you and your people back home to rebuild their homes. ”
Moses shook his shoulder harder: “I dare not lie in front of the gods, but I do have doubts in my heart! Where was my father when he was buried in the flood? Where is the Guardian God when my life is threatened with my people? I have no resentment for the Guardian God, but my heart certainly cannot evoke that reverence. The world became so unfamiliar to me that the guardian god of the past was only like a stranger! ”
The child is quite unique, even though he is only nineteen years old, but with so many painful experiences, whoever will mature can't help thinking more. He had an opinion of the Goddess of Mu Yun, and although he had no resentment for her, he could not worship her. Amon asked him not to have doubts in his heart, and he said the most real thoughts of repression for a long time.
Amon didn't have enough time to explain more to him, and this was something he couldn't explain, but he had to give Moses a firm hope, and he had to say, "You don't resent the Guardian God. It's hard to know. When people pray for the God, they have to think about what they did first, why ask the God to do it for you? The former patron saint did want to guide the people back, but she was not the only god in the world. ”
Moses raised his face full of tears: "I hope you will give me the only and most resolute belief that this is why we live in misery. Since you've been here, will you always guide me? What's your name? ”
"My name is Arrocho," replied Ammon. "When you have doubts in your mind, you can recite the name silently. My presence is like the light that guides you to the top of the mountain, and the road is beneath your own feet. As long as you do not give up faith, I will not give up you, with or without the refuge of the Guardian God, and no matter how difficult it may be, I will fulfill my promise. ”
Moses bowed down and kissed the dirt: “Your voice is the guide of the gods, that indelible light in the darkness. Since you can guide me out of the cage to the top of the mountain, can you guide the people out of here? ”
Amon tried to sigh, but he held on, answering in a quiet tone: "I can guide you here alone in the dark, but walking out of here is a desert, going back to your hometown, crossing the many cities and states of Ehu, you and so many ethnic groups cannot be undiscovered, nor can you escape the chase. ”
Moses asked disappointedly, "So how do we get out? ”
Amon: "Don't give up your faith, be prepared from now on and wait for the day to come. ”
Moses: "How should I prepare? ”
Amon raised the branch in his hand: "That's why I summoned you here today. The mining craftsmanship of Duke Town also contains magical and profound techniques, which are a two-sided force. I want to awaken this power for you, and I want to inspire your confidence, to make your heart truly strong. ”
Amon switched identities to teach Moses the power of both sides, but promised to be the mining craftsmanship of Duke Town and to keep Moses under oath of secrecy. This was done, on the one hand, to enable Moses to be confident and, on the other, to avoid revealing his identity. As for Moses' ability to grasp it, it depends on his luck, and Amon can't help it.
Over the next few days, every night, Amon will guide Moses to a quiet ascent to Mount Ho, where he will be awakened with an iron branch staff. As a result, Amon was not disappointed, and Moses awakened his power on both sides just before he left Mount Ho. Amon made him take another very important vow--
“You cannot pray to other gods, you must be firm in your only conviction, I have taught you this power, you cannot learn physical and divine arts like the rest of the world, you must accept my guidance. ”
What Amon teaches is about the secrets of the gods, and I'm afraid the gods don't want it to circulate, as the old lunatics speculate. Amon went to the realm of Erebi, Queen of the Underworld, where he could hear the prayers and prayers of the faithful. So Amon forbade Moses to pray to another god, and if he revealed a secret that the gods did not want to see in the world, it would do him no good or Moses any good.
When the power of the two sides was awakened, Moses had completely convinced Amon, and he immediately bowed down to salute: “I understand that you are the only God in my heart! ”
