Pivot of the Sky

The former high priest of the Temple of Isis cleared his voice: "My lords, the Spirit himself can make a message in the souls of all believers. Do you not think the Spirit can do it? But if so, what about the temple and the priest?

The priests, on behalf of the people, offer sacrifices to the Spirit, direct the people to pray to the Spirit, and on behalf of the Spirit, convey the divine message to the people, so that the people can receive the guidance of the Spirit, which is both a glory and a duty and a fundamental significance of existence. If this meaning is violated, the foundations of the temple will shake and the priest will lose the seemingly sacred halo.

Amon God's vows, he does not want to be the kind of gods that man sees, such as Enrique, such as Seth. If man retains the temple, he retains it, symbolizing the glory people seek. Priests are also priests in the temple, and whether the temple they hold loses its symbolic significance lies in the choice of the priest.

Everyone who is guided by the Spirit with a firm conviction will feel the divine glory of his heart, not whether or not he possesses the priesthood. The god I'm talking about is my only god - Amon! ”

Ibin's forehead was slightly sweaty, and a general on the table shouted out, “Lord, don't you publish the message? ”

Yibin turned around and looked at Rhode-Dick: “Lord City Lord, it's up to you to decide. ”

Everyone also looked at the city lord, Lord Rhode-Dick, who stood up in the eyes of so many people and shouted, “The evil god Sete, who murdered Osiris and stole the throne of Ecu, failed. Thousands of years later, while the Uruk army was under control, Horus was forced to retreat and the inhabitants of Egypt were decapitated by Amon God. At that time, Imperial General Amon, walking the world to accomplish the work of God, has become the Lord God of the Nine Leagues. From this day on, my glory and name will be Amon, and Ann La will be Amon's name. ”

After reading the passage, he looked around at the people and said: "This is the message of Ann La. I do not want to explain anything more. I think after you hear it, you will understand why Pharaoh did not make it public.” Then bowed down to Medanzo and saluted: “What is Amon God's second question? ”

The people in the room did not speak for half a day, and all tasted the meaning of the message. Even the warlords who drank it seemed to have decanted. Just listen to Medanzo not slow: “Lord Rhode-Dick, Lord of Cape Town and Commander of the Legion of Ann-La, you are the proud son of the heavens of Cape Town State. At a young age, you inherited the position of Lord of the City from your father and were honored and respected by all the people. In the eyes of the world, a life like yours is a perfect dream to pursue.

Amon God just wants to ask you - will you sigh in the middle of the night? Do you have feelings and regrets in the face of your heart? Do you feel that being ambitious and bloodthirsty today is not an injustice in your life? But do you also think that you can only sigh and sigh until the end of your life? ”

Rhode-Dick is stuck, and his origins, status, and accomplishments are perfect dreams for many people. What's the pity of life like that? But what Amon asked Medanzo to say publicly hit Rod Dick's secret heart.

The proud son of the sky in Cape Town State, perhaps no different from the arts and crafts of life, will sigh in the long night and aspire to wade the luxury and become the legendary millionaire. The difference is that the vast majority of the world's people only dream in their dreams and have no conditions to do so; and Rod-Dick is not incapable of doing so.

But Rhode-Dick has concerns, which are not unreasonable. He's a very good city owner, and people think so, but in his own mind, is it true?

The banquet stopped making noise, and everyone was silent and thinking about their hearts and minds. Rhode-Dick suddenly turned to the attendant: "Get my sword! ”

The master of the city took his sword from the bar to do what, everyone was wondering, staring at him and waiting to see which play he wanted to sing? The waiters sent Rode-Dick a sword wrapped in gold sculpture on the sheath and a sword with a dark blue heart on the handle. Rhode-Dick pulled his sword forward and the sword plunged into the table in front of him with silver light until it didn't hold.

Even the generals of the Legion of Ann-La had to admire: "Good swordsmanship, great strength!” The silver gleam on that sword has surpassed the limits that ordinary people can reach, and it is difficult to see that the Lord of Rhode-Dick, who is a gentleman on a weekday, is only one step away from the great warrior.

Rhode-Dick stuck his sword on the table, invisible around his body exuded an unprecedented pride, looking around at humanity: “Pass my orders and ring the temple bell tomorrow, I will read the message in public in the square! ”

Yibin said quickly: "Lord City Owner, you don't have to take this responsibility. I am the Lord Cleric, and I will announce this message to the people tomorrow in my capacity as Chief Priest of Cape Town State. ”

Rod-Dick, who was also proud, suddenly laughed again: "I am the owner of the city and the leader of the regiment, and everyone knows my place in Cape Town State. If you decided to do this, why are you hiding so much? Thanks to Amon God for asking, this is exactly what I want and what I do today! ”

George stood up with a cup and shouted, "To the Lord of the City!” The generals also rose to toast, and even if the other officials had doubts, they could only hold the glass at this time.

There were a lot of officials asking about the Ibin message, but they just wanted to know what was going on in private, and they didn't necessarily force Rhode-Dick to disobey Pharaoh's orders, but Rhode-Dick made that decision himself, unexpectedly. It really doesn't look like a city owner on a weekday, especially when the sword is drawn, and it has to be shocked with amazement.

Medanzo quietly said to George in his soul, “Amon God is amazing. How did he know to send us both here to make this amazing decision? ”

George smiled slightly and responded quietly: "I've also spent many years in the public arena, knowing the minds of people like Rhode-Dick. How could he persevere in practicing tough martial arts for many years if he had no desire, no will, and such noble origins had not achieved high grades? Surely there is in his heart a desire not to give up, which is both his wish and his regret.

It is only a pity that his origins are too good, his situation is too good, and he is too smart and capable. In the face of all things, there are always too many choices to avoid conflict, and there is always too much room for manoeuvre. He would prepare for what he really wanted to do, but not necessarily because he had a way out of trouble, and over time he had become accustomed to it. But in his own mind, there's another Rode-Dick, the one he really wants to be! ”

Medanzo said with emotion, "Why not the vast majority of people in the world? People often have another self in their minds - the kind of person they want to be. This dream is often unrealistic, and realistic encounters end up obliterating vows.

And Rhode-Dick was lucky, at least he had that chance. You said he would be ready for everything he wanted to do, so the decision he made just now to draw his sword generously was actually one of those things he was ready for? ”

George nodded covertly: "Yes, this kind of scene may be in his quiet night's sleep, not knowing how many times it's been conceived and finally done today. ”

At this point, the voice of the great magician Ibin overshadowed all the noise on the banquet: “Lord City, if you do this, Pharaoh will punish you, and how will you face it? ”

Rhode-Dick gently pulled the sword out of the stiff wooden table and sheathed it to the waiter, smiling and answering: "Punish me? Has Pharaoh's order been made public? How dare His Majesty announce such an order to the people? Just as General Amunda killed Prince Snake and left Ecu, Pharaoh could only send two adults, George and Gabriel, to pursue him in secret, but did not publicly convict him! ”

“That being said, there is another way for Pharaoh to punish you, and the city owner must be prepared," Yibin warned. ”

Rhode-Dick laughed again: "I've been preparing for this, and I've been dealing privately with all the chief officers in the city for a while. Everyone was dissatisfied with Pharaoh's two successive orders, and did not dare destroy the Oracle like this. They were all watching, waiting only for someone to lead the resistance. Especially Monfist's Tuyang city owner and General Huen, Captain of Isis, all share my thoughts, and the day before yesterday they came to persuade me that if they resisted orders to promulgate the Messenger, they would also like my side's support and response. ”

Medanzo glanced at George and showed admiration, as the former high priest of the Temple of Isis had guessed correctly, and Rod Dick had already made such preparations, just as he had planned many other things in his life, but at this moment he was finally determined to do so.

The main cleric Ibin nodded: “Turns out the Lord of the City has been proactive for a long time, but I was worried. But I would also like to remind you that if His Majesty the Pharaoh wants to punish you, he will find an excuse to send you to Wang Du, as he has done in the official field. As long as you leave Cape Town State and go to the palace, he has the means to get rid of you. And if Pharaoh invites you to see him, you cannot but go. ”

George then spoke again: "Amon God sent me with Medanzo, and another task was to keep Lord Dick safe. ”

……

The next day, at noon, when the sun rose to its highest level, Rhode-Dick ordered the bells of the temple to be rang, which was to gather the people to the square to listen to the message of God. The city lord, dressed in his sword and crowded with priests and protégés, stood on the temple's long steps and read out the message of Ann La.

The people in the square were stunned and unresponsive for half a day, and everyone was wondering what the message meant. And suddenly a man cried out, "Great Amon God!” Immediately after that, the call went off in one piece.

Rhode-Dick walked into the temple in the midst of the call and worship of Amon God by the people of the city, whispering to George: "The statue of Sete has collapsed and naturally no longer needs to be built. But according to the message of God -" Ann La is the name of Amon ”- is it necessary to replace the statue of the Lord in the temple with that of Amon? ”

George's smile was somewhat highly unpredictable, pointing to the statue of Anne-La in the middle of the hall, and he said, "Of course not, Lord of the City, have you not noticed the appearance of a god in the sacrifice you have made to this statue for so many years? ”

Rhode-Dick looked up at the magnificent statue, which was so tall that it was not easy for ordinary people to see the face of the god standing in the temple or, if it was outside the temple gate, only one majestic outline. Not to mention that people worship the gods when they sacrifice to them, and it is impossible to gauge them like son-in-law. This is the first time Rhode-Dick has been so focused on watching the five facials of this Anne-La statue, he can't help but express his surprise with his big mouth.

The craftsmen carved a handsome and powerful man with an invisible sense of fortitude in the contours of the five officials, the more they looked like Amon! Rhode-Dick asked in his heart -- how come I hadn't noticed this before?

How do the craftsmen know what the gods look like? That's an interesting question. In the case of the gods that Amon saw, their faces resembled those of the temple, indicating that the craftsmen were not casually carved. It is also understandable that some spirits have appeared in the human race and can be constructed on the basis of oral descriptions, references to relics that have existed in history.

On the other hand, there are also gods in the human race. His first temple is often built by the people under the guidance of these gods. Some craftsmen have even seen gods with their own eyes, so the shapes that can shape them are similar.

People who lack spiritual spirituality may have difficulty understanding a sentiment, and craftsmen who believe in God, when carving statues, are not merely doing a work or a job, but pouring out their souls, and God's image contains their faith in God and their understanding of divinity. This is the most intrinsic distinction between true works of art that have existed since antiquity and pure craftsmanship in the world.

Craftsmen are also guided intentionally or unintentionally in their souls when shaping idols. This guidance may come from a god himself or from a god left behind in man, or from his own understanding or imagination of the god in the souls of the craftsmen.

Ann Ra, the oldest god in the Nine Unites, became almost a forgotten god before Erahtpharaoh introduced monotheistic reform. Before Osiris founded the Ecumenical Empire, Ann La had never left the divine kingdom to come to the earth, and the divine envoys he had directed had either become gods or were long gone.

In other words, no-one knows what Ann La looks like today, and the craftsmen can only imagine to shape the idol, but they can't make him look like another god. But how can this statue look so carefully with Amon's shadow? Perhaps it's just a delusion or a coincidence, or there may be subtleties that the world can't understand.

Rhode-Dick had not noticed before and it was perfectly normal because he had not thought about it at all, just like Amon left the mountains to see Yoon Nanna for the first time, nor did he think that the girl was the Goddess of Mu Yun, even though he had always seen the statue of Mu Yun in Duke town since he was a kid.

George also looked at the statue of Anne-La and muttered to himself: "Who created the god and why does the god think he is? ”

Medanzo looked at Rhode-Dick and whispered, "Congratulations, city owner, you've finally made it through the top! ”

Why did Medanzo say that? Looking up to the god Rod Dick at this moment stands there, as if the power in that vein had merged into the soul, an aura only a great warrior could possess.

It was thirty years ago that Rhode-Dick became a Class Six samurai, and after so many years of failing to break through the high level of achievement, too many people in the world would have been blocked from this threshold forever. He is not a magician, he is fifty-six years old, and although he is still healthy, his hopes of becoming a great samurai are slim. But he did it! It's kind of a miracle. It happens overnight.

……

In accordance with the tradition of the Ecumenical States, a samurai was promoted to the rank of the Seventh Great Samurai, all of whom were to be congratulated by a ceremony convened by the city owner by public officials. Amon, who was in Dreamfield, also accepted this congratulation. Rhode-Dick, despite promulgating a divine ordinance in violation of Pharaoh's secret decree, still behaved in the middle of the law and was himself the owner of the city, entrusting the main cleric Ibin Dalai to convene a ceremony to celebrate his promotion to the ranks of a great samurai.

Meanwhile, Rhode-Dick sent an urgent message informing the city governors of his promulgation. In fact, he was not required to notify, and the news spread immediately, and various people sent letters to various places for various purposes, and Elahtpharaoh was informed of the matter a few days later.

Erlacht jumped like Ray and wanted to punish Rhodedick immediately, but calmed down by heart, he could not punish Rhodedick like this, but had to take into account the consequences of the incident. Then Pharaoh sent an envoy to Cape Town State, ordering Rhode-Dick to hurry to King Du and meet the king. Let's get this guy under control, and this is Levy, and let's see what happens to Rode-Dick.

Although the Cape Town State has published the Proclamation, it is perfectly possible for the PHARON to issue the Proclamation - it is Rhode-Dick who forged the Proclamation without authorization - if other city states are able to enforce PHARON's secret order. This is a capital crime! Such an outcome would be in the best interest of Erlacht.

But Pharaoh's intentions had disappointed, and the messenger sent to Cape Town State had just departed, and urgent reports from all over the country had flown. Fourteen of the twenty-eight townships in Ecuadoria have successively promulgated the Message of Ann La. In response to Rhode-Dick, Equus was the most important city besides Wangdu, Dreamfist, and the leader of the Isis Legion was rejuvenated.
