Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 336: 338, The Extinct Dancer

Since when has it been argued that John is the Messiah in the prophecy of Elijah, especially the vast underneath Salem and many Samaritans, and the news gradually reaches Herod's ears. John himself never lived with it, but remembered what Joseph said: "The Messiah is not a title, but an achievement. Achievements can only be achieved with that vow and with that mission in mind. He could be you could be me, not who we call ourselves! ”

That's what John did, and people couldn't bear to talk about it. Herod knows, the Maronites know, and the Olympus gods certainly cannot ignore it.

John was an upright man, often denouncing the corruption and arrogance of Salem's elders, the greed and evil deeds of Herod. Finally, one day, King Herod ordered a man to seek a charge of defamation and blasphemy, and arrested John and held him in an underground prison.

John himself was the son of a priest and had many more followers in the folk. Herod pretended not to have intended him, but to explain to those around him what was meant by his queen, Herodie. He admired John's honesty and courage in his heart, and he was willing to respect him, even though he was guilty of trespassing.

Although John was being held in a dungeon, many of his followers could still hear the guide while meditating at night. John is already a great achiever who awakens the power of his source, but no one knows what kind of realm he already has? Such a man, an ordinary prison, could not be held, and Herod, while holding him in a shady dungeon, did not add any special guard measures, which he feared were also intended to allow John himself to escape.

Herod knows that many Salem and Samaritan think John is the Messiah of prophecy, and he doesn't want people to think he wants to kill him. But if John breaks out of jail, whatever the other charges, the charge of breaking out of jail will be honest and will always be the identity of the fugitive. On the other hand, Herod knows that the Olympus gods will not let this man go.

The Governor of the Maronites has sent a message to Herod, and Apollo has sent down the message to punish John. Herod also knew something that had happened 20 years ago, when Governor Marrow had also conveyed Apollo's message to his father, the old Herod, to search for newborn babies and possible evil parasites around Salem City.

In fact, it was clear to the old Herod that the Maronites were searching for the Messiah in the prophecy of Elijah. But he gave the order to do it for a simple reason, because he didn't want to lose his dominion, as did Little Herod today. If John is believed to be the son of Aroho and will lead the Salem to the creation of a new kingdom, it means that before the overthrow of the Maronites, the overthrow of Herod's rule will precede it.

Whoever the Messiah in the prophecy is thought to be, the Herod accepts only himself, but hides this selfishness. Looking back in time, John escaped a raid because he was the son of the priest of the Temple of Salem, and now it seems likely that he is the one the Olympus gods are after!

……

Time passes, Herod's birthday arrives, and noble people in Salem City are invited to attend the celebration in the palace, and Herod is prepared to host the guests with a grand feast. After a full meal, of course, there are all kinds of performances, folk artists with great skills come to the royal palace to perform, as well as bards to make poetry to glorify God and the Great King, and the orgasm is a sword dance.

To cheer up the feast, Herod's wife, Herod, ordered her daughter, Salome, to dance for Herod and his guests. Salome is the daughter of Herod's brother, but Herod later married his brother's wife, Herod, and Salome became his stepdaughter. The young and beautiful dancer walked into the hall and danced with a long sword in his hand, accompanied by a soundboard like a drum of war.

Her eyes were tan, the five officials were beautiful, her eyes were clear as water but a little chilly, but when she smiled with her teeth, it was like the spring breeze melted the ice and snow, it seemed so tender and delicate. Salome didn't just use a sword as a prop for a slow dance. Obviously, she would have real martial arts, but she blended into Miaoman's dance to reveal the beautiful beauty of the freshly merged dance.

The music fluctuated, and the sword in the girl's hand sprinkled a silver light, lining her body and singing a poem with a euphemism -

Please tell me that God is my light, my salvation, my life's protection.

Please tell me that in the glory of God, there is no fear of the enemy's knife gun.

So who am I afraid of, who am I afraid of, and who will be hurt?

When the enemy's horse came, his heart was not afraid, and behind him was the tent of God.

O god, save my god and do not abandon your people.

I'm looking for you, please listen and be merciful, do not hide your face from me.

Whose abandonment are you forgiving for whose sins? Please strengthen my heart, I will see you at last!

This is a hymn to the gods, which has been circulating on Heavenly Prix Road for centuries, and the Salem sang it as a tribute to Arojo. The girl was so delicate, the song was so moving, the sword dance was amazing, the audience was deeply intoxicated and even forgotten to celebrate.

When a song, Salome saluted Herod in an elegant manner, the audience realized that the dance was over and applauded with a warm applause!

Herod had already drunk a lot, his face was red with excitement, and he shouted to Salameh: "You deserve the most reward for your worldly dance! My daughter, go ahead, whatever you want, I'll give it to you whenever I can! ”

Salome was about to speak, and suddenly a voice was heard in her soul: "Dancer in the palace, listen, this is God's will. You answer that you will ask your mother, and your mother will tell you —— what you will give is the head of John the Baptist. ”

The light in Salome's eyes dimmed and saluted to Herod: "Father, I am going to ask the Queen.” Yan Bi turned and withdrew from the lobby.

……

John in the dungeon sits quietly meditating, but suddenly he hears a faint song in his soul, like a long memory of many years. He opened his eyes in the darkness and remembered a man who was once the flower of Dreamfist. Before returning to Salem City, the baptist had survived the inexhaustible test of life, and in many of his reincarnations, a man named John had admired the song in a brothel in Ecumenfest City.

His name happens to be John in this world, and John is a common name on the Sky Pivot, not a particularly astonishing coincidence.

The song was apparently deliberately sent into his soul from the palace to a distant dungeon, but the guards of the dungeon did not notice it, indicating that the singer also had a remarkable achievement. John already knew what was going to happen, and he seemed to have waited a long time for that moment.

Unexpectedly, not long after, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the dark dungeon, and the shadowy smell dissipated without a trace, as if it had become a warm and peaceful world, separated from the outside by space divinity. Salome appeared empty in front of John and looked at him and said, "John, do you remember me? ”

John stood up and looked at her with a gentle smile: “I remember that song, once a girl named Thermis, danced and sang to a general named John in the city of Monfis in Equus. ”

Salome's eyes glistened with waves: "It seems I need not tell you anything else. Your accomplishments have reached the end of the human path, and this little dungeon could not hold you. ”

John nodded: "I have witnessed life go on, and when I see you, it is the final test. But I'm not General John anymore, and you're not the flower of Dreamfield. ”

Sarah looked at John beautifully, her face and breath were changing, no longer Sarah's beauty, but rather revealed the true face of Goddess Thames, and said slowly: "But you, me, or you. ”

Her voice carried a theological message that printed the history of the flowers of Dreamfield and a series of events that ensued in John's soul. John walked up and held one of her hands: “I know, the angel Moses has told me, how can I describe my gratitude? Three hundred years and you left Olympus to find me! ”

Thames looked down at John's hand and whispered, "I don't need your gratitude, can't you be more proactive? ”

John laughed and opened his arms to hold her in his arms, touching her back: “It seems that no one here knows that Salome is the goddess of Themis, who left the Olympus Divine System. ”

Thames said in front of his chest: "I have never revealed my identity and naturally it will not be known. Someone in the palace today actually sent me such a message. ”

John asked, "Do you know who's behind this? ”

"This time it was Apollo," replied Themis. "He lost his bet and will always retreat in front of Amon. Ammon later entered the circle of the world and ceased to be his original identity. Apollo naturally prevents Ammon from seeking proof and even hopes that Ammon will never return to heaven. ”

John grinned, “Stupid Apollo, he thought I was the spinning god of Amon! I meant to mislead him, but what's the point of doing it? Even if Joseph were removed, the god of Amon would not fall, but would continue to rotate. By the day Amon returns to heaven, does he still want to have a good ending? The next time he meets the god of Amon, I'm afraid he'll have to fall. ”
