Pivot of the Sky

The priests of Bertani plotted to spread rumours, but this despicable plan was not implemented, as rumours soon spread in the folk. And this news leaves the rumors that the priests had originally prepared with no means of spreading anymore, otherwise it will provoke public outrage. For it is a legend that Joseph is the savior of the prophecy of Elias, the son of Arocha, the true Messiah.

There was talk of John in the beginning, but John was dead and his hopes were broken, and this discussion could not go away, but the advent of Joseph gave rise to new hopes. And it was even more surprising that Joseph had the power to revive death, a miracle that people thought must be approved by God, to heal and preach the faith that Arrocchio had guided.

The news was like wings spreading rapidly on the Saram plains, and the initial appearance of this claim had something to do with the Bertani girl Maria ——

Joseph lived in the countryside of Bertani and was increasingly influenced, and he was often invited, even if no one knew he was the legendary son of Arocho. But he's a “shrink," and that's respectable enough, and there's going to be a lot of people trying to make out. On the outskirts of Bertani lived a wealthy and powerful lord who heard the fame of Joseph and invited him to come home as a guest. There will be many distinguished guests there, asking Joseph to preach at the table and bless everyone.

Historically, Joseph did not discriminate against poor villagers and inferior Samaritans, and some had treated Joseph only as a guide to the poor and the civilian population, believing that he would not accept such an invitation. What surprised or disappointed them, however, was that Joseph accepted the invitation.

Some disciples asked, "Dear Guidance, how could you accept an invitation to a party like that? Everyone thinks that your arrival is to guide the suffering people out of their misery, and if you set up a lecture hall at a banquet like that, the poor will think you want to stay away from them. ”

And Joseph shook his head: "If anyone says so, tell them - that the faith that God has guided belongs to all, without distinction between rich and poor and priceless. Those who believe that God belongs only to them have gone the wrong way. ”

Joseph went to the banquet, and the wine table was set in a luxurious courtyard, with a beautiful fountain next to which guests sat beside the fountain, filled with delicious wine dishes. They stood under the corner of the courtyard listening to Joseph's speech. Joseph walked barefoot and washed his feet under the fountain.

At this point, a Sama girl walked in with a beautiful pot, Maria, filled with invaluable balm. She drizzled the balm over Joseph's hair with a pious look, then lowered her body to wipe Joseph's feet with the rest of the balm, and then quietly retreated outside the yard.

When she did these things, Joseph did not say a word, neither did he give in nor did he hide, but looked at her in a temperamental vein. And the guests at the table were astonished, and the great lord asked in astonishment: "Joseph, you have been the guide of countless believers, a glorious Saroon. How can such a Sama girl be so close to you in public? ”

But Joseph asked strangely: “If two people owe five gold coins, one owes five gold coins, and the other owes 500 gold coins, and the debtor decides to cancel them all, who do you think should be more grateful? ”

The host of the party replied, "Of course it's the man who owes 500 gold coins. ”

Joseph laughed: "If you think so, you should know what I mean. For someone as wealthy and powerful as you, the desire to free your soul from misery may not be so strong; but for her, it may feel different, and my propaganda is no different.

You invited so many distinguished guests to entertain me without asking me to wash the dirt off my feet or even welcome me with a sincere hug. And she put that precious balm on my hair and wiped my feet off. I should accept her blessings as well as your invitation - that is the true ritual in a pure soul. ”

At this point, a guest suddenly lost his voice and shouted, “Messiah! That's a blessing for the Messiah! ”

This voice brought all men back to God, reminding one another of the prophet Ilia's prophecies: “The Messiah will come and lead all those who truly believe in Arojo to build their homeland; just as Moses led the Salem back to their homeland to build a homeland of flowing milk and honey. ”

“Messiah" means the Savior, who according to legend is dressed in the hair of the Savior with precious balm, as a sign of admiration for the glory of the gods. And this is the ritual that Samaritan expressed in her heart that Joseph was the Messiah who came to man, the prophet Elijah, the savior of prophecy.

What does Joseph mean when he openly accepts a ceremony like this in front of people? Though Joseph himself did not say anything, every man had an answer in his heart.

……

Joseph never preached that he was the Messiah of prophecy, the son of Aroho of the legend of Saram, but people finally realized this, and when he spontaneously blessed him with such a ceremony, he openly accepted and did not refuse or deny it. The prophecies that have been circulating in the Saram Plains for nearly a hundred years have had such far-reaching effects. When the priests of Bertani heard this news, they knew that spreading rumours to slander and slander Joseph would not do much good.

If one thinks that Joseph is the son of the legendary Arrocho, then those who slander him will be besieged and scolded, and people have been waiting for the legendary king of Saroon for almost a hundred years. If you want to deal with Joseph, you can solve the problem once and for all only by removing him like you did with John back then.

So the priests of Bertani also decided to send a man to send a message to the elders of the Temple of Salem reminding them to seek to destroy Joseph as soon as possible.

Aroho made a covenant with Moses “not to kill innocent people. No one may be deprived of his or her life by money or personal desire.” This is one of the ten commandments that Moses left to the Saroons, but now these priests, who enjoy secular status in the name of Aroho, are plotting to murder Aroho himself. All of this is well known to Joseph's Link and Detective Medanzo, who are secretly guardians.

Unsurprisingly, another messenger was dispatched from the town that Joseph had just passed by, passing through Bertani about to enter Salem City, to report on the threat posed by Joseph's actions, reminding the elders of the need to try to imprison or execute the man.

Link said to Medanzo: “Just in time, we grabbed these two messengers together and gave them to Joseph with the evidence they sent. ”

Medanzo just wanted to answer, and suddenly the voice of Amon was heard in the souls of the two angels: "Let the messenger go to Salem City, even if they don't, the elders of Salem City are already planning the same thing, which is the test I have to face when I come to the world. What do you all know about the so-called 'Question of Destiny, Trial of the Last Day’? That's how man became God. But how does God become a man? That's what I asked for. I have to face that fate, and those who are truly on trial are the ones who gave me that fate. ”

The two angels understood that this is the fate that Joseph was facing when he walked down this path. And as for what their god was going to accomplish, Medanzo and Linkshan weren't very clear, so they asked in their souls, "My god, what can we do for you? ”

Amon's voice laughed, "Thank you for your guardianship, but there's no need to do more for me. Give me some bread and salted fish, if you like, as much as you can. ”

……

Joseph knew what fate he was going to face, and he was just waiting for the right moment to greet it, and the disciples did not know all about it, and they were ecstatic that Joseph was the Messiah in the prophecy. They were the earliest followers of the legendary King of Salem, and when they thought of it, they were thrilled and filled with all sorts of wonderful visions for the future.

Nor did Maria think that her inner blessing would have such a chain effect that one day she couldn't help but ask Joseph: "Dear guide, can you tell me? You are the Messiah! While I have no doubt about that, and people think so, I'd like to hear it from you. ”

And Joseph looked at her and said, "Do you really want to hear it from me? So tonight, please wait for me in your room. ”

……

A grown man wants a girl to wait in his room in the middle of the night, which means anything, not to mention anyone can think of! But Maria did not dare to think that the legendary son of Arojo, the great Messiah of the Redeemer, had any unusual relationship with a girl like her?

But she couldn't help thinking, sitting in her room at night, her heart was as restless as a deer, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Joseph, but she didn't know what to do and what would happen after Joseph came? If Joseph were to do something or make a request, she would not have any resistance and everything would be willing in her soul; but at the same time, she felt that it should not be, and she would not even dare touch him easily.

They spent so much time together that the only physical contact that ever happened was the one time she applied a balm to his back.

The evening time seemed to pass particularly fast and as if it had been particularly slow, and Maria, feeling uneasy, suddenly realized that she had not lit the light and quickly lit the oil lamp already on the table. The big bean flame lit up, the dim light lit up the little house, and then Maria saw Joseph.

Joseph's figure slowly appeared in front of Maria as the light lit up, like a shadow turned into a painting, eventually becoming a living person.
