Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 281: 282, The Spirit Leaves Salem City
Mu Yun asked, "If the Salem oppressed the followers of Amon God in the name of Aroho, or conversely, the followers of Amon God did harm the followers of Aroho in the same name, would your kingdom guide them? ”
Amon replied silently: "I am ready, and hell will wait for them. Whether oppression or persecution is a crime, whoever it is in the name of man, man's desire will not become noble in the name of God, let alone be redeemed. ”
Mu Yun asked, "So where's David Solomon? Will he go to hell, too? ”
Amon shook his head: “Before the last moment comes, I can't decide for him. It depends on how his own soul faces the test. I have no doubt about his devotion to my faith, and he needs some form of acceptance of the only divine guidance to make his faith firm. I do not blame him for replacing the Temple of Amon with the Temple of Arrocho, since he controls the province of Salem.
When he was only a young slave, he now possesses the power to control the city with the most sacred stones on the continent, and will become an outstanding king. Nor is it a sin that the faith and sacrifice of the people of Arojo will flourish in his hands.
I, as Arrocchio, have given him everything he can guide, and if he does not end up undressed, it depends only on his soul and the proof of his life. And David's descendants, who may turn this firm belief into a selfish desire, instead lead to human sin. ”
Mu Yun: "David's children, isn't that still your people? ”
Amon nodded helplessly: "Yes, they are still descended from the people who covenanted with Arojo, and their ancestors were also from the town of Turk. Weren't you the patron saint of Duke and witness the destruction of Duke? This has nothing to do with them being the sinners of the gods or the people of the gods. ”
Mu Yun was also smiling bitterly. At this moment, Amon suddenly frowned: “This is the time when you advise me not to rush to the world, to wait for the right opportunity and for my soul to be truly touched. I heard someone crying out to me to leave Salem City and return to his distant homeland, and he was old enough to spend his life in Salem City. ”
Mu Yun nodded as if he heard something, “Is it Iso? You go ahead, you should meet him in the world. ”
Amon thought, "No, I'm not just going to meet him, I'm going to follow him and drive him back to his hometown myself. His hometown is in Heaton UK, which is exactly where I want to go. ”
……
Iso is almost eighty years old this year, he is not a great samurai or great magician, it is quite rare to live to this age, the high life is already respected, not to mention Iso himself has been respected for many years.
He was a slave saved by Amon in the Syrian desert in his early years, and his owner was Theo, a wealthy businessman of Dreamfish. Amon later bought Iso from Theo and gave him the status of a free citizen. The origins of Isol's free citizenship date back to when Rhode-Dick went to Duke to find the tears of the gods, and it was Amon's first encounter with Maria.
Rhode-Dick then gave the Mayor of Dasti a gift, a certificate of Ecuadorian identity issued by him personally, just by filling in his name. Rhode-Dick sent a large number of valuable gifts in order to thank him for the tears of the gods in the town of Duke and for the fine iron smuggling deal between him and Mayor Dasti, of which this identification document may be the most special.
Miners in Duke Town were not allowed to leave without permission at that time, and if anyone was convicted and fled, they could go far to Eju with this document and live a life of changing their name. When Amon was banished from the mountains, the old madman came with Mayor Dasti, who gave him the paperwork.
Amon himself was useless, and when he entered Ecu, he became a general with Maria's help, but gave the instrument to the slave Iso. Iso is free, but his name is still Iso, and if nothing happens later, he may have spent his life in Ecuado as a free citizen or have already returned to his homeland.
Subsequently, Amundo ordered Medanzo to take Iso to the Duke Plains, and Iso became the first city owner after Salem City was officially inaugurated, and his experience was no longer a secret. From slaves to city owners, it was a miracle, like the Salem City State appeared on the Duke Plains of nothing. It symbolizes the dreams and aspirations pursued by many and attracts more and more people to Salem City, the first generation of Salem City people.
After Amon's departure, Iso gradually stopped running the city state and focused most of his energies on sorting out and collecting legends about Salem City and Amon God. His friend Joshua was doing the same thing, each of whom wrote a Bible describing the same god.
As Isol gradually grew older, Eucil and Dickie Chow, Salem City entered the era of master rule, waiting for David Solomon to assume power, which had become the era of Salem rule. Though he had never heard the word of Amon God clearly, Iso also guessed that Arocho was another identity of Amon, so it was not Amon's name that was written in the Book that he had prepared, it was called "God”.
Though he disagreed with the decision of David Solomon to demolish the Temple of Amon, Iso had no change of attitude towards him because of his prestige in Salem City and his great respect for David Solomon, who lived in a noble mansion and enjoyed noble privileges.
But David's respect for Iso is one thing, and what he wants to do is another, and he will not fail to demolish the Temple of Amon because of his respect for Iso.
On the day that the Temple of the Lord Amon in Salem City was demolished, Iso stood in front of the window looking in the direction of City State Square, calling out to Amon in his heart: "My God, the only God! Whether your name is Amon or Arrocho, you will always be the one who saved my life in the desert, the one who set me free in Ecu, the one who made my dreams come true in the Duke Plains.
I created this city with my hands and hands, and it was your guide that brought them back to their homeland, flowing with milk and honey. Today it has become the city of the Salem, and the Arocho the Salem believes in is still you, but for many of them, it is no longer you.
Your temple is just a symbol of their desire to destroy your first temple, and you may sigh or smile watching it happen in heaven. And I've witnessed all this in my life, and maybe I've lived too long, thinking I'd sleep here long enough to see your statue demolished, awaken my desire to bury it in my heart for years.
As a slave, looking up to the stars, my soul was free, and I was searching for my home, just like the Salem were searching for their home. Thanks to you, although I am young, my body is still strong and I can travel again. Before my life reaches its end, I want to return to my homeland and take a look at what was once my homeland. ”
The old city lord whispered tears in prayer, when a voice said: "Iso, are you leaving?” Turn around and wonder when Medanzo has come behind him.
Iso replied, "Yes, I'm going back to my homeland, and this wish has been buried in my heart for many years. I left my whole life in Salem City, and now I am no longer needed here, and the Bible I have written has been sent to Ecu for circulation to Theo's descendants. Now is the time to fulfill your final wish, while I still can catch the carriage, leaving Saram for my hometown. ”
Medanzo sighed and said: "If David Solomon is disrespectful to you, I can reprimand him myself; if you don't like living here, Amon God doesn't mind taking you to the Garden of Eden; if you are going away, you can also have the city guards and servants escorted. ”
Iso shook his head: "I come as I please, I go back as I please, I don't want to shock and bother anyone. My hometown is not the home of a guard and a servant, I need only one carriage and two horses to go back myself. ”
Medanzo dissuaded: “How is this possible? And not to mention your age, I know you're still in great shape, but the battle between Heaton UK and the Potts Empire is not over, and it's too dangerous to go. ”
Iso: “At my age and throughout my life, it doesn't matter if it's dangerous. It is precisely because my homeland was ravaged by war that I would like to go back and see if I can make it to the finish line, as long as I follow this path. I promised Amon God that I would build a whole new city state on the Turk Plains, so when I left, I asked Amon God to hear my call and prayer. ”
“Iso, you have fulfilled your promise, and I hope to help you achieve it. It was Medanzo who escorted you to the Turk Plains, and as you said, you can go wherever you want, and now Medanzo can escort you back to your hometown. The first time I went to Ecu, you drove me, so this time I'm going to drive for you.” - Another voice sounded and Amon appeared in front of Iso.
Isaac suddenly saw Amon show up and hurriedly bowed down to salute him: "Thank you, my God, for allowing me to leave Salem City to fulfill my final wish, but how dare I ask you to drive for me? ”
Amon stretched out his hand to lift him up: “I went to Heaton United Kingdom as a mortal, and I had my purpose to escort you back to your homeland. ”
Iso grabbed Amon's arm and wept again in his eyes: "But you are my God! I thought I'd never see you again before the end of my life...”
Amon smiled: "This time you are helping me as well as I am escorting you. If I am only a mortal, and you have done so much for me, I cannot thank you enough; if you think of me as your god, then this moment is the word of God, do not refuse. ”
Iso hadn't seen Amon for decades, and at this moment the god suddenly appeared in front of him and said something like this. He was so excited, he grabbed Amon's arm and his whole body was slightly trembling. Medanzo suddenly asked, "Iso, have you ever wanted to fly in the sky? ”
Isaac replied, “When I was a little girl, I did have this desire to fly like a mind, but I can't fly. ”
Medanzo laughed: "Then you can fulfill this wish. Amon God and I can fly you from the sea and avoid places where there is a conflict of war. I've heard a lot about Heaton UK and I've always wanted to see it, thank you for your guidance. ”
Amon also laughed: "Iso should be the best guide on the continent, not only to send Iso back to his homeland, but also to meet all the wise men there who are famous for their continent. Mr. Aristotle was there, and I hope to see him again. ”
Amon also travels to Heaton UK as an ordinary person and naturally needs a guide familiar with the local situation. Iso quickly replied: "I would be happy to introduce you to all of Heaton UK, but I haven't been back in decades, and I don't know if I'm familiar with it. ”
Amon replied: "After all, the homeland is the homeland, and I can go with you to find traces of the past. ”
The next day Iso packed his bags with two horses and a very sturdy carriage without other servants and escorts. Amon drove himself and Medanzo was with him in the car, leaving Salem City. Iso did not bid farewell to anyone in person, but left a letter at the residence.
Running west of the city, Amon's carriage flew fast, avoiding the pedestrians and horses on the avenue with great flexibility, like flying on the floor, but sitting in the car felt calm and without any bumps. Amon had a whip in his hand, tied exactly to the one Enrir had given him outside Sumerian town.
Enrir had already fallen and the Anunnaki system no longer existed, but the horse whip was still the horse whip, and Ammon was a driver at the moment.
Resting overnight on the road, the next day at noon we arrived at the entrance to the crosswalk by the Black Fire Swamp. This pavement was opened by Amon himself at that time, and Gore activated a civilian pavement in the State of Syria, which allowed two wagons to cross the road, and built three stops along the way. Decades later, it has become a major transit route between the Duke Plains and the Bank of Syria province, with more spacious and flat roads.
Originally built as a military defensive fortress, it has now grown into a large municipality, the size of a small city state. There are three temples, the Arocho Temple, which was officially ordered, the original Amon Temple, and the Swamp Lady Temple, which was funded by former businessmen.
The Cloud Dream is the legendary Swamp Goddess, the patron saint of this trade road, to whom past merchants are willing to offer their sacrifices. Amon paused in front of the Temple of Cloud Dreams and went in to take a look. There are many motorists in the merchant corps offering sacrifices to the Swamp Goddess, all of whom seek life on the mall, and of course hope that the Spirit will protect peace.
Ammon went into the village and worshipped the Cloud Dream Goddess with these drivers, and then he heard the idol make a panicked sound: "My God! How can you worship me? ”
Amon replied quietly in his soul: "Don't be surprised, Cloud Dream. I am now the man of the house, offering my sacrifice to you like the other drivers passing through this passage. You have to thank Raphael. He made a joke, and then there was the legend of the Goddess of the Swamp. ”
The Cloud Dream Angel, far from the Garden of Eden, did not know what to say, so quickly spread his wings and flew out of the Garden of Eden, rushing over the Blackfire Swamp, ready to see Amon drive across the aisle. Cloud dreams have not yet arrived, but another came first. Amon is sacrificing in the Temple of Cloud Dreams, scattering smoke in the direction of Cold City in the distance, and David Solomon comes with a friendly fast horse.
Iso stood on the side of the road. When David looked at him, he immediately stopped the guard and jumped off the horse himself. He ran over and bowed down to Iso to salute him. “Why did your old man say goodbye? If there is any dissatisfaction in Salem City, raise it; if anyone condemns you, I order him to be punished immediately. Whatever you need, I will satisfy you as much as possible, only wishing you the comfort and tranquility of your stay in Salem City. ”
"Thank you for coming to see me off," replied Iso. "I have only one wish: to return to my homeland. Salem no longer needs me, and while I can still walk, I want to go back to my hometown. ”
DAVID - Solomon's divine colour is a little frightening: “But Salem City is your home, and everyone respects you, and you led my fathers to create this city state. Now that you're old, why don't you feel comfortable feeding yourself? ”
Iso looked at David and replied calmly: "After Joshua's death, I had this idea, and now I am finally determined. Joshua gave you the Bible that he recorded, and I left my Bible, and there was no regret in Salem City.... David, do you remember when you were a kid? Why did you and your people walk out of Ecu and return to the Turk Plains? I'm at the moment, maybe just the same as you. ”
David wanted to say something else, and suddenly a voice was heard in his soul: "Son, people have their own pursuits, and I will escort Iso on a long journey, so you don't have to say much. ”
It was Medanzo speaking, and David was surprised that he had never seen the true face of the angel who had guided his power of origin, nor was it clear that the angel was Medanzo, whom he had seen in Salem earlier in life, but hearing that voice naturally touched the mark in his soul.
He hurriedly replied in his soul: "It is you, if your will is to send Iso away, of course I will not dissuade him. I also wish him good luck all the way to his old house. All is well deserved! ”
The voice of Medanzo asked, "David, you have not forgotten my guidance, so may I ask you, what is the vow you want to fulfill in your life? ”
David - Solomon's face became respectful and answered softly in his soul: "Build the homeland of my people's dreams, which is the guiding principle of Arrocho, and Salem City will become the Salem kingdom of Salem, which is the vow of my life! ”
At that time, another voice said: "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Salem is your kingdom, and Arrocho has its own kingdom of Arrocho. What exactly does the dream homeland mean? Need your grandchildren to think for a long time.” Amon finally uttered a word and then remained silent, the first and last time David Solomon heard the voice of the gods.
