Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 158: 156, Heiquirt the Frog God
Linc frowned: “The purpose is clear. It's to harass Moses. The frog doesn't bite, but it can be annoying. Until he gets tired, he can't hold on. Sooner or later, he'll panic, and he won't be able to walk. No one can endure endless torments, little by little, to quench courage and perseverance, and if they collapse, Sett succeeds. ”
Medanzo shouted: “This is a harsh way to get so many frogs out. It annoys me that I can't even find an opponent to do it. There are so many frogs, I can't get rid of them. ”
"If the frog god Heykwett doesn't show up, we don't have to show up, it's a test for Moses, and we have to overcome it. As long as we walk through the Ronnie River Delta to the dry zone, it's not possible for Hikwett to drive so many frogs, and I'm afraid it's going to take a few more days at this rate. ”
Medanzo: "The test is faith and will, depending on how firm their will is and how they can persevere in this environment. I found that David's child was really nice, he ate and slept peacefully, and the calmer he was, the less likely he was to be disturbed by this torture. ”
Link smiled and said, "The frog is trying to test you. Are you going to guide the kid in the next few days? ”
Medanzo laughed: “I haven't eaten frogs since I was a kid, but later I came to your tribe and realized that frogs are also edible, and they're so delicious, now they're stuffed again. ”
……
Panic and anxiety spread among the people, the constant torture began to cause people to trance, some people are arguing that this is the punishment of the Ecumenical god, but where is their god Arochan? The Twelve Troopers did their best and could not completely drive away the pervasive frog pack, which was a bit like Amon and Medanzo encountering scorpions in the desert.
A lot of people couldn't walk, and they said to Moses, "We're not complaining. Most people are strong, but they can't stand to rest. Is this the punishment of the Aegis? Why are you torturing us like this? Take us out of the jungle with those pools! ”
Moses persuaded: "You can't leave the jungle yet, or you will be discovered by the pursuit of soldiers, which is exactly what Ecumenical Evil is trying to accomplish. You're calling Arocho, but have you thought about what you should do? Don't stop and leave the Delta Wetlands as soon as possible. The longer you stay here, the more you will suffer. Come all to me, let me raise my staff to bless you and wash away your tiredness and anxiety. ”
Moses led the people without stopping and, despite his exhaustion, followed the path guided by the gods. As David was sleeping in the frog roar this day, he suddenly heard a voice in his head: "David, the child of Duke Town, the messenger of the gods is calling you, please quietly walk out of the tent and go towards the noisiest part of the frog roar, no one will find you. ”
David's guts are so bold, people feel panicked when they hear the frog scream these few days, but he dares to enter the loudest dense forest of frogs late at night, and the night guards are tired, and they don't find David quietly walking out of the tent. David walked through the forest and the frogs around him suddenly calmed down, like they were retreating far away, and then he saw a creek lit a fire heap and a man sitting next to it.
The man blocked his face in a cloak, holding an elongated gold shuttle in his hand, dressed in a string of washed and peeled frogs, baked on fire with squeaky oil, his other hand sprinkling salt on top, and the air filled with a seductive scent. David was surprised and went forward and asked, "Who are you? Why are you roasting frogs? Can you eat this too? ”
Medanzo asked, "Tell me who you are first, why are you here? ”
David replied: "I am David Solomon, a warrior of Tucker Town, who, guided by our gods, fulfilled his vow to return to his homeland, and the messenger of the god Arojo summoned me. ”
Medanzo stood up and said with a laugh: "I am the messenger of the gods. These frogs have tortured you for so many days, dare you eat them? ”
David knelt down and saluted: "As long as you eat, I will eat. ”
Medanzo tore down a frog, ate in the shadow of a cloak, and handed David the gold shuttle in his hand: "Are you hungry, son? Tastes great! ”
David reached down to take down a roasted, incense-sprayed frog and gently bit a piece of meat to taste, then filled it all into his stomach, eating it smelly. Medanzo looked at him with a smile and asked him, "Is it good? ”
David nodded, “It's delicious. It's delicious! ”
Medanzo asked, “Are you still afraid of them? ”
David shook his head: "No, I wasn't. O Messenger of the Spirit, have you summoned me here to buy me this meal and to tell me not to be afraid of frogs? ”
Medanzo laughed, "Yes, but I have something else to tell you. It's our little secret. Don't tell anyone else. ”
From this day forward, Medanzo awakened his strength for David, but never revealed himself, saying that he was the messenger of the god Arrocchio. David asks him what power it is, and Medanzo answers that it is the power of faith that requires people to practise with conviction.
David also asked Medanzo what was going on with those frogs, and Medanzo explained: “That was the messenger from Ecumenical Evil who was trying to block the steps of the Turk townspeople and shake your beliefs. ”
David asked, "O messenger of the gods, can you help drive away those frogs? ”
Medanzo shook his head: “The frog lives on this wetland, and you will encounter it when you walk through it, which is the difficulty you have to overcome. If the apostle of the evil god directly strikes, the apostle of the god will stop him, but you cannot expect nothing but what the god has given you. Including the strength I teach you today, which is also given by the gods, but you can only practise yourself. ”
……
The next day David returned to the camp, and his father ran over and hugged him: "Son, where have you been? Everybody's worried! If I can't see you again, Lord Moses will send someone to look for you. ”
David raised a branch in his hand and inserted a string of washed and peeled frogs: “I'll get something to eat, put them on fire and sprinkle some salt. It tastes really good. ”
The people around them said in horror, "David, how can you eat this stuff? They're devils sent to torture us. You'll be poisoned! ”
David laughed, "I ate it last night. It's delicious. What are you afraid of? ”
Moses came over and touched David's head: "You're brave, you're doing great. If you don't want to eat, you can eat yourself. ”
Five days later, the crowd finally left the edge of the wetlands in the Ronnie River Delta, before which there were undulating dry hills, growing grass and shrubs, and the frogs finally went into hiding. Linc and Medanzo stood on the tree and watched Moses and others walk into a place where no frogs existed, suddenly feeling a powerful force emerged behind them, and Linc whispered: “Heyquilt appeared, just in the jungle. Do you want to do it directly? ”
Medanzo pulled out the spoon of destiny empty-handed and put a scorpion armor on himself, turning around to chill his face: “My hands are itching too, I've been waiting for impatience! ”
Link also turned around and cautioned quietly: "Be careful, this Hector divinity is smarter than we are, and we haven't found his hiding place in days. ”
Medanzo laughed coldly: "Of course, there are frogs everywhere, he can hide his breath completely. I suspect he is a mutant frog demon, born to dive in a growing environment, like a cloud dream. If a cloud dream hides its breath in the swamp, it's hard to find it. But if he wanted to, the situation would be different. ”
Speaking only saw countless water beads floating in the open space between the bushes, from the leaves, in the pool, in the nearby stream to the halfway sky, a drop of clear pearls reflected a bright light in the sun, how beautiful! One person came out of the grass leaves and looked like a young man.
The man was wearing a green robe with dark brown stripes on it, his eyes were a little round and a little drummed, but he looked handsome, but he also had several brown and green stripes on his cheek and forehead, like a painted pattern in oil, reflecting a faint floating glow, which looked strange and mysterious.
As soon as this person appeared, those drifting droplets began to glow, gradually stretching in the air and becoming a transparent arrow, and countless dense and numb arrows were ready, pointing to Medanzo and Link. Medanzo pointed at the man with the spoon of destiny and said, "Is that Hector? ”
The visitor slightly said, "You know me? If you know it's me, why don't you lay down your weapon? ”
Medanzo narrowed his eyes and said, "Why? Lord Frog Angel, you've been messing around for days, what makes you think we'll drop our weapons to salute you? To be honest, we don't know you, we don't want to know you, we just see those frogs think of you. ”
Hector closed his eyes, and his pupils were also green and brown, like a vertical stitch on the eyeball: "You are not ordinary mortals, you see the legendary Hector without panic, dare you speak like this? ”
Medanzo shrugged: “I've seen the so-called gods who truly transcend eternity, but not my gods, let alone you? And by whom do you come, to harass the tribes of misery? ”
Hector's figure was submerged in a clear arrow, full of strength, but never emitted. He looked at Medanzo and looked at Link. He was slightly surprised to drink: “Are you disciples of Scorpion King Shui? No wonder he gained the power of the gods. But this is Equus. I am the messenger of Seth, king of angels. How dare you stop me? ”
Link hasn't spoken, but he hasn't. Just as the water beads in the forest turned into arrows, a bow floated out in front of him. The bow string pulled apart into a series of fictitious shadows and turned into many lanes of string. The bow looked like a harp. Dozens of arrows flew out and alternated between dense and numb bowstrings, precisely the arrows created with the tail needles of the mutant scorpion. He was wearing a scorpion shell coat with Medanzo, no wonder Hector misunderstood.
Medanzo shook his head: “It's none of your business who we are, and it's none of our business who you are. Those poor people are not at fault, nor have they ever offended you. Why torture them? ”
Hector obviously misunderstood that Medanzo's words were acquiescent and revealed a disdainful look: “If Scorpion King Ashui himself is not yet eligible to join the Anunaki Divine System, it is even less likely that you will follow him. Don't you find it ridiculous that a demigod flowing in the desert, without a dependable divine system, sends a messenger here to fight me? I see you two have a little accomplishment, lay down your weapons and pledge to follow me. I can consider introducing you to King Seth of Angels, and perhaps a chance to join the Nine Legions. Please kneel down and thank me! ”
His context is complicated, thinking that when the war of the gods broke out in the Anunaki Divine System, Amat and Kingut were the defeated parties, and Enrique and Marduk were the defeated ones. Legend has it that Amat created nine kinds of monsters in the war, including the Hydra Humbaba, the Poisonous Scorpion, and the Giant Lion Cloud. Naturally, all nine monsters were defeated, some were slaughtered, some were subjugated and some were exiled.
These monsters are very powerful, and Enrique and others, after winning, don't want to spend a huge price to get rid of them, take them for their own good, or swear they won't have to fight again. Humbaba was subjugated by Enrir and became the guardian of the Divine Domain, joining the Anunaki Divine System.
The poisoned scorpion was forced to promise no more enemies to Enrir and others, but not to bow to them, and was banished to the desert and disqualified from being introduced to the Anunaki Divine System, which he himself called King Scorpion. After the end of the Great War, Marduk and Enrique both saw him and allowed him to join the Anunaki Divine System. But the human cloud fell in love with the Goddess of Mu Yun, and as a result, due to the well-known spell, he eventually broke away and became a wandering lion king.
The water is powerful, but he belongs to the exiled demigod. He is neither a god beyond immortality nor guided by the Divine System. In the view of the official members of the Divine System, his messenger is of course the wrong person. Hector opens his mouth to Medanzo and Link, asking them to lay down their weapons and pledge to follow him, and he can introduce them to Seth, possibly to the Nine Legions.
If anyone hears it, it can be a great temptation, but what Hector says to Link and Medanzo is that he plays the piano to cows. These two people don't even know what he means, let alone them. I'm afraid they don't even know what they believe in. Why should they be guided by the Divine System?
