087, You must not pray to other gods
Wallet was very busy at the time and did not arrange this matter immediately. It was just that the Guards protected the manor and sent enough food and water to Moses and others, so that they could wait for a while. Later, Gore returned to the Syrian city-state and advised Moses to stay, but the frightened Moses refused to stay there any more than that, and was willing to ask the great magician to send them away safely.
Gelie had no choice but to order his disciple Wallet to send Moses and others out of the border to protect them from being hurt on the road. Before leaving, he asked Moses: "If one day you can return to your homeland, would you still be willing to come back?"
Moses replied without thinking: "Is it Duke Town? Of course, that's my hometown!" In his concept, Duke Town, which is almost isolated from the world, and the hateful Syrian city-state are completely different worlds. On the days when he was besieged and attacked, his greatest wish was to return to his hometown and rebuild his home, which has become Moses' life ideal.
Gerry said something Moses didn't understand at the time: "You will be the legal heirs of a very important land, and you may face suffering wherever you go. Your hometown will surface, but in a few years, by then if you can really come back, don't forget what I did today."
Moses knelt on the ground and said, "Great God and the Savage Master, my tribe and I will always be grateful to you. If there are any requests in the future, Moses will try to satisfy them."
Wallet led the guards to escort Moses and others through the semi-dried swamp, crossed the desert, and sent them to the border of the Syrian city-state. Moses came to the cape city-state and sought asylum from Lord Rhode Dick. His demands were not high, and he only hoped to buy a farm here for temporary residence. The miners were also strong young people who could support themselves and wait for the opportunity to return to their hometown in the future.
Rhode Dick has received many benefits from Mayor Dusty. The old friend's orphan asked for a visit. This little thing should be fine. He agreed to Moses' request and even set a land in his territory for them to live in. But not long after, another unexpected incident occurred.
Moses and others came to the Cape City State for asylum. Shortly after Amon left the Cape City State, the news could not be hidden and soon reached the capital of Eju. Julian, the great magician at the Cape, wrote secret reports to the Aeju Academy of Divine Arts and Pharaoh. Rod Dick soon received the order from the Pharaoh and sent the guards to send the tribesmen of Duke to the designated place.
Julian knew that Amon was a miner from Duke. He was once the high priest of the Temple of Isis. He should have read the "Land of Malduck" and learned a lot of inside stories. It may be out of revenge on Amon, or it may be that he wanted to seek credit from the Pharaoh. In short, what the secret newspaper said should not be good things, so Moses naturally could not be clear about the specific inside story.
Moses was sent to Mount Holie, and he and the tribes in Duke were enclosed here and became slaves to Pharaoh. It is said that they were treated as prisoners of war in foreign countries and were still engaged in the work of mining divine stones. Thinking about the fact that they were escorted by Julian himself, Julian not only conveyed the Pharaoh's orders, but also privately said that these people were rejected and exiled by the gods, and they would lose their homes only if they were punished by the gods.
This is the experience of Moses and others. After hearing this, Amon fell into deep thought. The experience of the tribe members was probably not just as simple as Julian's personal revenge on him. Even Rhodes Dick could not shelter these people. Pharaoh directly ordered them to be blocked here, and there might be other reasons.
Maria once said to Amon: "I should thank you. I should also help you in your affairs, but I don't know how much it can help you." Obviously she knew about this, but she was helpless and could not help Amon to release these people directly.
After Goddess Mu Yun's prompt, Amon knew that the area of Duke would become a fertile land of thousands of miles. After Schrödinger's prompt, he checked the myth "The Land of Marduk" and knew that that place might cause competition. He also saw the soul stranded in the underworld by Mayor Dasty, and learned that the land deeds of many lands in Duke were in the hands of Moses.
Pharaoh detained the tribes of Duke Town. On the one hand, perhaps because the skills they mastered were very useful, and it was most appropriate to mine divine stones in Helie Mountain. More importantly, do you also want to get involved in the fertile land of thousands of miles in future disputes? The Aiju Theological Academy also knew about the changes that were about to take place in the Duke Town area? Such a thing is unsure. Since Goddess Mu Yun knew, then the gods of Aiju might also know, and perhaps reminded the people.
Amon was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Moses, I heard that the land deeds in the Duke town are in your hands. Is that true?"
Moses's expression suddenly became alert: "Who did you hear?"
Amon sighed, holding his shoulder with his hand and said, "Don't doubt me, I'm not ordered to test you. After I left Duke, Mayor Dusty told me in person."
Moses had tears in his eyes: "I didn't take the land deeds with me, they were hidden in a hidden place in the Syrian city-state. My father sent me to the city-state, but he died in the flood. What did he say to you before leaving?"
Amon: "Dasty Town has long hoped that you and the survivors of Duke can return to their hometown to rebuild their homes. I also want to ask, are you willing to do this?"
Moses nodded involuntarily, reached out and grabbed Amon's arm and said, "Will, this is what everyone and I dream of! Amon, you are now the inspector of the Temple of Isis. Is there a way to save us?"
Amon shook his head helplessly and said, "I am just a small archival guard captain in the Temple of Isis. It is impossible for Pharaoh to change his orders to release you. This time I came to Helie Mountain, I can only do my best to make you better treat in the future. But please rest assured that after leaving Duke Town, I listened to the oracle, and the messenger of the gods will guide you to leave Aju and return to your hometown."
Moses's hand grabbed even tighter: "Will the messenger of the god come to Mount Holie? When?"
Amon patted his hand and said, "Since the gods have made a promise, please wait patiently for the oracle's guidance. The hopes of the miners are placed on you. You are their leader. What you have to do now is to lead the tribe members to live well and not lose confidence and courage."
Amon did not say more to Moses because he did not want to cause trouble to his tribe and his tribe members. Some situations cannot be made public. Moses knew too much and it was not good to have too early. His appearance only gave the tribesmen a hope. After trying to keep Moses to have a sumptuous lunch with him, he ordered someone to send him back.
...
Amon stayed in Helie Mountain for more than ten days, nominally recuperating his injuries. Blanca and John really kept their promises, and the living benefits of the miners in Duke Town improved a lot. This group of people mined at least 40% of the output of the divine stones here by hand, and deserved to be treated better.
As John promised, as long as Amon did not take these tribes away, everything else didn't matter. In a remote place in Holie Mountain, Blanca had the final say in all matters. Amon took the opportunity to make a small request to move to the miners' residence to live so that he could talk to the tribes at any time. He was very concerned about the situation in his hometown and could not finish it in a few words.
The simple stone house in that village is naturally inconvenient for the envoy to live in. The closest one is the residence of the magicians who mine divine stones. Blanca ordered the courtyard of the magician in charge to let Amon settle down for the time being.
In fact, Amon didn't have to talk to the miners about anything. After the flood, Duke Town no longer existed. There was really no situation to discuss, so he had other plans. He had already figured out the situation of He Lieshan. Although there were many warriors and magicians taking turns to guard here, their defense was not very strict.
It is deep in the heart of Eiju. There is no threat of war in peacetime, and no one will always be nervous. On the other hand, He Lie Mountain is a very remote semi-desert area, more than 200 miles away from the Ronnie River. There are no villages and towns and residents nearby. No one comes here to make trouble. It is not easy for people here to escape. The mining work is very hard, and there is no need to be too strict in management.
He Lieshan's guards are not weak, but in terms of personal abilities, no one can compare to Amon. Blanca has the highest level of magical skills, and John has the highest level of physical skills. The two of them are not as good as Amon. There is always a way to secretly hide anything Amon from others, as long as it is not too ostentatious.
...
It was late at night, and Moses was lying on the bed toss and turns and couldn't sleep, and was still recalling the scene of meeting Amon. Amon's appearance brought a glimmer of hope to the tribe people, and the treatment in the past few days has improved a lot, but is what he said true? There will be a god to guide them to escape from the predicament? Moses has been insomnia for three days, and Amon's arrival has also brought new anxiety and expectations.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear and said, "Moses, please do not be afraid or surprised. The voice you hear is guided by the gods."
Moses was so scared that he almost fell off the bed. He looked left and right for a long time. The room was dark and there was no shadow of anyone. He sat up excitedly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the voice saying again: "Don't talk, you can't communicate with me in this way now. Please follow my guidance, put on your clothes and walk out, follow a ball of fireflies to climb Mount Helie, I'm waiting for you there."
Moses felt his heart beating violently, almost popping out of his throat. Amon said that there would be a god to guide him. Did it appear so soon? He couldn't believe it but could not give up this opportunity. He got up, put on his clothes, gritted his teeth, and walked out of the stone house with his teeth.
There was a faint light outside the door, like a fireflies flying alone in the night. As soon as Moses left the door, the light flew away. The night was quiet, so quiet that it made people feel scared. Even the slight footsteps seemed to have echoes, like an invisible person following behind.
Moses was very nervous, fearing that he would be discovered by the guards, but the light of fireflies took him around the stone houses and happened to meet no one. Finally, he left the small village and walked towards He Lie Mountain. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he looked back and saw that there were several guards leaning against the base of the wall outside the village in the distance, and it seemed that they had not noticed him. Then he turned around and went up the mountain with confidence.
The mountain was a little steep, and sparse shrubs grew among the bare rocks. The fluorescent light was fast and slow, which was guiding Moses from the easiest road to the top of the mountain. Tonight Moses was very excited, and always felt an invisible force supporting him, and his steps were light and he was flying, and he walked very quickly.
The moon was bright, and there was a man standing on the top of the mountain, leaning on a branch in his hand, wearing a cloak, unable to see his face clearly. The fluorescent light flew up to the top of the mountain and disappeared in his arms. He spoke to Moses. The man was standing in front of him, but his voice was very ethereal as if he came from a distance: "Moses, a child from Duke, please don't be afraid, I am the messenger who guides you!"
Moses felt like sleepwalking. He couldn't believe that he had walked out of the stone house and reached the top of the mountain with a ball of fireflies. Sure enough, he saw the person talking! He stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Are you really here to guide me and my tribe and his tribe out of trouble?"
The man nodded and said, "Yes, since I have guided you to meet me in this place, I will guide you and your tribesmen to return to your hometown in the future. You must not have any doubts in your heart."
Moses knelt on the ground without saying anything for a long time, his shoulders trembled and began to cry silently. Amon, who had hidden his face in his cloak and changed his voice, asked softly, "What's wrong with you? Why do you cry when you see me?"
Moses sobbed and said, "I am weeping for the fate of suffering, and for my father and for Duke Town! I finally saw you. Can you ask, which god this guide comes from?"
Amon replied: "I made a promise in front of Goddess Muyun that I will guide you and your tribesmen to return to your hometown to rebuild your home."
Moses's shoulders trembled even harder: "I dare not lie in front of the gods, but I do have doubts in my heart! Where is the guardian god when my father was buried in the flood? Where is the guardian god when my tribe and my tribesmen were threatened by life? I have no resentment towards the guardian god, but I really cannot arouse the reverence in my heart. The world has become so strange to me, and the guardian god is just like a stranger!"
This child is quite unique. Although he is only nineteen years old, after so many hardships, no matter who he is, he will become mature and can't help thinking more. He has a view of Goddess Mu Yun. Although he has no resentment towards this god, he really cannot respect him. Amon asked him not to have doubts in his heart, but he expressed the most real thoughts that he had suppressed for a long time.
Amon didn't have enough time to explain more to him, and this was something he couldn't explain clearly, but he had to give Moses a firm hope, so he had to say again: "You don't resent the patron saint, which is rare. When people pray for the gods, they must first think about what they did and why they asked the gods to do for you? The former patron saint did want to guide the tribe back, but she was not the only god in the world."
Moses raised his face full of tears: "I hope you can give me the only, the most firm belief, which is the reason for us to live well in suffering. Since you have come here, will you always guide me? May I ask your name!"
Amon replied, "My name is Arhaha. When you have any doubts in your heart, you can recite this name silently. My appearance is like the light that guides you to the top of the mountain. The road is at your own feet. As long as you do not give up your faith, I will not give up on you. No matter whether you have the protection of the patron saint or no matter how many dangers there are, I will fulfill my promise."
Moses leaned down and kissed the dirt and said, "Your voice is the guidance of the gods, the unextinguished light in the darkness. Since you can guide me out of the cage and come to the top of this mountain, can you also guide the tribesmen to leave here?"
Amon wanted to sigh but held back again, and replied in a quiet tone: "I can guide you to come here alone in the dark, but when you walk out from here, it is a desert, and you will travel thousands of miles to your hometown, and you will have to travel through many city-states in Eju. It is impossible for you and so many tribesmen to be discovered and you will not escape the tracking."
Moses asked disappointedly, “How can we leave?”
Amon: "Don't give up on your faith, be prepared from now on and wait for that day to come."
Moses: "How should I prepare?"
Amon raised the branch in his hand: "This is the purpose of my calling you today. The miners' skills in Duke Town also contain magical and profound skills, which are the power of one and two sides. I want to awaken this power for you, and also arouse your faith, and make your soul truly powerful."
Amon changed his identity to teach Moses the power of both sides, but he entrusted that it was the miner's skills in Duke Town, and asked Moses to make a vow to keep it secret. On the one hand, this was to make Moses believe it without doubt, and on the other hand, it also avoided exposing his identity. As for whether Moses could master it, it depends on his luck, and Amon could not force it.
In the next few days, Amon would guide Moses to quietly climb Mount Holie every night, holding an iron branch staff to perform a ritual of awakening power for him. As a result, Amon did not disappoint Amon. Just before he left Mount Holie, Moses awakened both forces. Amon asked him to make another important oath-
"You must not pray to other gods, you must firmly believe that I have taught you this power. You cannot learn physical skills and divine skills like other people in the world, and you must accept my guidance."
The content taught by Amon involves the secrets of the gods. According to the old madman's guess, the gods may not want it to be spread. Amon has visited the divine realm of the queen of the underworld, where he can hear the prayers and prayers of believers. Therefore, Amon does not allow Moses to pray to other gods. If the secrets that the gods do not want to see in the world are exposed, it will not be good for him or Moses.
When the power of both sides of the body was awakened, Moses had completely convinced Amon, and he immediately bowed and said, "I understand that you are the only God in my heart!"
