157 、 Being a fraud
Link finally spoke: "We are not your enemy, but you are our enemy. We have our own god, and he is unique. Please do not say such blasphemous words in front of me. If you want to make a move, then please do it. "
Heqet looked at the Key of Destiny in Medanzo's hand, and then at Link's strange divine bow. The power of the Key of Destiny was needless to say. It was once Enkidu's God Slaying Sword, but now it had become a golden shuttle that no craftsman in the world could forge. And Link's bow was once used by Amon. Later, when Amon obtained Gilgamesh's bow, he gave this famous battle bow to Link, and Link spent another six months refining it to make it even more magical.
If they really fought, regardless of whether they could win or not, the price would not be small. Heqet blinked her big eyes and suddenly laughed: "Two Emissaries, you are no match for me, but I don't want to be enemies with you. You have followed Girth to achieve what you have today, and you should understand the agreement between the gods. We can also make an agreement, I will complete my mission, and you will complete yours. "
Metatro nodded and asked, "What agreement?"
Heqet replied: "Those people themselves are not guilty, but they wanted to escape from Eygut, and the Angel King Seth has decided to punish them. And for them, it is also a trial and tribulation that they have to go through. I will not directly harm them, but I will create all kinds of obstacles according to the orders of the Angel King, and you can do your best to resolve them. "
Medanzo gave Link an inquiring look, and Link nodded and replied: "Okay, let's see what we can do."
Heqet laughed again: "I wish you good luck, the Scorpion King Girth's temper is not very good, and if you can't complete your mission, you may end up worse than those miners. If you regret it, you can still come to me. Let me remind you, the Angel King Seth did not only send me as an emissary, my mission has actually been completed, and there are others ahead of me. "
After she finished speaking, the countless water arrows turned back into water droplets, emitting a colorful glow under the sunlight. Countless interwoven rays of light covered Heqet's figure, and then the water droplets fell back down. The forest returned to normal, and Heqet disappeared, along with her powerful aura.
Metatro looked at the place where he disappeared and snorted. "So his mission has already been completed, but he purposely appeared to scare us. After spouting so much nonsense, he actually wanted to take in disciples, but he took a fancy to us."
Link laughed: "This person doesn't even understand the situation, and thinks that we were sent by the Scorpion King. No matter whose emissary we are, if we betray our mission because of a few words from him. How can we achieve greater?"
Medanzo looked at the sky: "He just wants to take in two powerful subordinates for himself, as for being able to join the Ennead and so on, those are all deceptive terms. It's just that I don't quite understand what he said, it seems like he's trying to be mysterious. "
Link thought for a moment: "It doesn't matter whether you understand or not, it may not be something we can understand, and Amun will tell us sooner or later. Heqet said that there are still emissaries sent by Seth ahead of them, who knows what kind of people they will be?
Medanzo shook the Key of Destiny: "Who cares, the road is under Moses's feet, we'll see."
… …
Moses and the others finally got rid of the frogs and entered the hilly area between the coastline and the main city of Dannis. The terrain was undulating, and there were lush thorns and trees as tall as two people. The strong miners pulled out their machetes to open a path, and although they did not walk too fast, they could finally sleep in peace.
They walked like this for another five or six days, and many people's clothes were torn by the thorns, so they simply mended them and continued on their way. The trees were not tall, and the mountains were not steep, but they were so densely packed that there was no end in sight. That night, David heard Medanzo's summons again, and quietly ran to a valley to meet him. Medanzo had awakened the child's power, and had been teaching him all kinds of magical "magic".
On this day, when David closed his eyes and listened to Medanzo's teachings through message magic, he was a little restless, not because his mind was not strong enough, but because his body was always feeling troubled. His test had arrived, and it was the "purity of the body", and only by passing this test could he master the second level of achievement. During this process, the various hidden dangers and injuries in the body would act up, and of course, it would be very uncomfortable, but one had to persevere in their training in order to get through it.
Medanzo was very pleased, David Solomon's aptitude was very good, he was very smart, and he mastered his power very quickly. Medanzo did not notice anything unusual at first, and only comforted the child to overcome all kinds of discomfort, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong today, because David could not help but scratch his body with his hands. He said: "Child, untie your clothes, let me take a closer look."
David untied his clothes, and Medanzo was slightly surprised: "What's with these little red spots?"
David explained with some embarrassment: "There are a lot of mosquitoes, fleas, and all kinds of small insects in the mountains, if I don't pay attention while walking or sleeping, I will be bitten. It's not a problem, I will definitely focus on practicing meditation and not be distracted."
After David left, Medanzo found Link and said: "There's a new situation, someone is driving the fleas and mosquitoes in the camp to bite Moses and the others. There are a lot of fleas in the mountains, it's normal to be bitten a few times if you don't pay attention, but there are too many red spots on David's body, obviously someone is playing tricks. "
Link spat: "This method is too sinister! Even we didn't notice. Moses and the others are strong, and they are very tired every day, so they don't feel much when they are bitten. But these little insects may spread a plague, and it will be too late by the time we react! "
Medanzo nodded: "We need to investigate and see if there are more fleas and mosquitoes around Moses's camp than in other places."
The two quietly searched the wilderness, and found that where Moses and the others were camping, the number of mosquitoes and fleas was dozens of times more than in other places. These small insects, which were very common in the wilderness, were hiding under leaves, in the grass, and in the mud. If one did not deliberately search for them, it would be impossible to attract attention.
Link said: "It could be another messenger sent by Seth, or it could be Heqet! I don't know the other methods of that frog demon, but he should have a way of controlling all kinds of insects. Aren't mosquitoes the frog's food? "
Medanzo frowned: "The power I practice is more suitable for fighting, and my healing magic is not as good as yours. It seems that you will have to work harder this time."
… …
In the middle of the night, Moses, who was meditating, heard the voice of the Divine Messenger. Link told him: "The evil god of Eygut has sent messengers to punish you, and they have used underhanded methods to make you suffer from countless mosquito and flea bites until you are infected with the plague. From today onwards, when you are camping, use magic to clean up the surrounding area, and take turns to cast healing magic on everyone, to prevent trouble before it happens. "
Moses replied: "Thank you for the reminder, Divine Messenger! I have also felt that there have been a lot of small insects these days, and although I am not afraid, many of my people have been bitten to no end. But if I cast healing magic, my magic power may be limited, and I am afraid I cannot completely stop the plague. "
Link said: "This is just the beginning, I want you to be prepared for anything. The disciples of God Allaha have never been stingy with their magic power, and are even used to it. Go ahead and cast it, just be careful not to exhaust your power, I will help you in secret. There is also a kind of grass in the mountains, I will tell you what it looks like. Send your people to gather it, and order the twelve Judges to dry it with fire magic. After burning it, it can drive away mosquitoes. Every day when you are camping, let the people on night duty put the hay in a circle and smoke it around the camp. "
Link was the tribe leader of the savages, and since he was a child, he knew that there were a few kinds of grass in the mountains that could smoke away mosquitoes when dried. He happened to find one here, and ordered Moses to send his people to collect it. From that day onwards, whenever it was time for Moses to rest, he would order the six Judges to take turns to set up a magic formation, and he would hold the iron stick in his hand to preside over the formation, so that his people would gather around and bathe in the light falling from the sky.
Every time Moses cast a spell, there would always be a mist floating over, making the light of the staff softer and denser. That was Link's help in secret.
The messenger of the gods guided the people of Duc to get rid of the inconspicuous fleas and mosquitoes, but even a wise man would still make a mistake. When Medanzo and the others realized that something was wrong, it was a little too late. Although Moses and the others did not fall ill, the cows, horses, and donkeys they carried fell ill one after another and died one by one.
Without animals to carry supplies, the people had to carry everything on their backs. Fortunately, a small part of the food they had carried along the way had been consumed, and they could barely carry all of it. But they had lost food that could be slaughtered at any time, and they were carrying heavier things on their backs, making it more difficult to walk.
One day, they walked out of the dense forest and came to an open valley. There was a lake in front of them, and the shore of the lake was covered with soft grass. After a long journey, everyone was tired, so they unloaded their bags and lay down on the soft grass to rest. Moses also saw that everyone was very tired, so he told Joshua to let everyone eat more today. They soaked the bread in the soup until it was soft, and took out the pickled dried meat from their bags, cut it into slices, and roasted it on the stones.
The smell of food permeated the shore of the lake, and the people showed a rare relaxed smile. They had not felt this comfortable for a long time. But suddenly, Moses frowned. He heard a buzzing sound. It turned out that a few flies flew out of the forest, and then more and more flies flew out and landed on the half-cooked pickled meat that was roasted on the hot stones. Then someone shouted, "What's so stinky!"
The aroma of the pickled meat on the stones turned into a rancid smell, and they could only watch helplessly as they rotted. The rancid smell spread from everyone's body. They opened the bags and found that all the food inside had also rotted, even the dry bread and pickled meat were no exception. These food had been specially processed for long-term preservation, and would not rot even after a year. How could it suddenly spoil?
Divine punishment, this was the punishment of the gods! Without food, they could not walk out of Eygut. If they did not want to starve to death in the wilderness, they could only turn themselves in to the city.
Medanzo stood in the distant forest, his face livid, and said, "They actually used this method! Although they did not directly attack the miners, is there a difference? "
Link also said, "If that's the case, we can also do it directly. Fortunately, Amun was prepared. Let Moses perform a miracle."
Moses, who had always been calm, was shocked. The power of the evil god Eygut was too strong. It could actually cause all the food that the people carried to rot without them knowing. The people who had not given up after suffering finally felt despair. They looked at each other's eyes and sat down on the grass dejectedly. Moses was about to stand up when he heard Link's voice, "Since the evil god's emissary has done this, you should use the means that the gods have prepared. Give them true confidence and show our miracle!"
Moses raised his staff and shouted, "My people, do not be depressed! The evil god that took away our food is just like the rotten food, emitting a rancid smell! The true gods are protecting us, and will show their miracle. All the people who are devout believers in Allaha, please gather around me and accept the food that the gods have bestowed. "
The people gathered. Moses stretched out his hand and took out a piece of pine bread and a piece of bread, and said to the people, "This is the food that the gods have bestowed upon us. It is unprecedentedly delicious!"
Someone cried out in disappointment, "That's all? It's not even enough for one person! "
Moses smiled and said, "The gods will not let us down. Everyone, go make the fire and cook the soup. Our gods will show their miracle."
A pot of soup was ready. Moses put the secret delicious pine bread into the soup, then broke the bread and threw it in. He quietly used spatial magic to protect the pot. The smell of people permeated the grass, and the people couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Moses said to David, "The youngest can eat first. David, serve the soup first. Don't look at the others, the gods let you go first."
David carried a plate full of fragrant soup and instant bread, but the soup in the pot was not reduced at all. One by one, the people came to Moses to receive their food. Until everyone was full, Moses still had a pot full of soup in front of him. Finally, Moses finished the pot of soup himself, then went to the lake to wash his hands and utensils, and said to the people: "Everyone, pray with me, thank our god! Thank him for giving us food, and the confidence and courage to overcome all difficulties. "
The people gathered around Moses and prayed to the only god in their hearts, Allaha. Medanzo and Link stood in the trees in the distance and looked at each other and smiled. This miracle had actually been prepared a long time ago. The bread and pine bread had been stored in the Ventussalam in the iron staff.
