Wallett was very busy at the time, so he didn't arrange this matter right away, but ordered the guards to protect the manor, and sent enough food and water to Moses and the others, so they had to wait for a while. Later, Ge Lie returned to the city-state of Syria and persuaded Moses to stay, but Moses, who was still in shock, refused to stay there no matter what, and begged the great magician to send them away safely.
Ge Lie had no choice but to order his disciple Hua Laite to personally send Moses and others out of the border to protect them from harm on the way. Before leaving, he asked Moses specifically: "If one day, you can return to your homeland, would you still want to come back?"
Moses replied without thinking, "Is it the town of Duk? Of course, that is my hometown!" In his concept, the town of Duk, which is almost isolated from the world, and the hideous city-state of Syria are completely two worlds. , in the days when he was besieged and attacked, the greatest wish in his heart was to return to his hometown and rebuild his homeland, which had become Moses' ideal in life.
At that time, Ge Lie said something that Moses did not understand: "You will become the legal heirs of a very important land. No matter where you go, you may face hardships. Your hometown will surface, but time In a few years, when you do come back, don't forget what I did today."
Moses knelt on the ground and said, "Honorable great magician, my people and I will always be grateful to you. If there is any request in the future, Moses will try his best to meet it."
Hua Laite led the guards to escort Moses and others through the semi-dry swamp and across the desert, and sent them all the way to the border of the Syrian city-state. Moses came to the cape city-state and sought refuge from Lord Rod Dick. His requirements are not high, he only hopes to buy a farm here to live temporarily, and the miners are all strong young people, who can support themselves completely, and return to their hometown when they have the opportunity in the future.
Rod Dick has received a lot of benefits from the mayor of Dusty. The orphan of an old friend asked to come to the door. This little thing should be fine. He agreed to Moses' request and even set aside a farm in his territory for them to live in. . But not long after, another accident happened.
Moses and others came to the cape city-state to seek asylum. Not long after Amon left the cape city-state, the news could not be hidden. The School of theology and Pharaoh Egypt wrote secret reports respectively. Rod Dick soon received an order from Pharaoh, and sent guards to send the people in Duke Town to the designated place.
Julian knew that Amon was born as a miner in Duk Town. He used to be the high priest of the Temple of Isis. He should have read the "Land of Marduk" and learned a lot about it. It may be out of revenge against Amon, or it may be to claim credit for Pharaoh. In short, what was said in the secret report should not be good, and it is naturally impossible for Moses to know the details.
In this way, Moses was sent to Mount Horeb, where he and the tribesmen in Duk Town were imprisoned and became Pharaoh's servants. It is said that they were treated as prisoners of war from a foreign country, and they were still engaged in the work of mining the sacred stone. I think they were escorted by Julian himself. Julian not only conveyed the pharaoh's order, but also privately said that these people were rejected and exiled by the gods, and they would lose their homes only after being punished by the gods.
This is the general experience of Moses and others. After hearing this, Amon fell into deep thought. The experience of the tribe may not be as simple as Julian's personal revenge against him. Even Rod Dick couldn't shelter these people, and the Pharaoh directly ordered them to be imprisoned here, probably because of other reasons.
Maria once said to Amon: "I should thank you, and I should help you with your affairs, but I don't know how much I can help you." Obviously she knew about this, but she was powerless and could not help Amon directly. release these people.
After being reminded by Goddess Mu Yun, Amon already knew that the area around Duke Town would become a fertile land for thousands of miles. After being reminded by Schrödinger, he also consulted the volume of myths and legends "The Land of Marduk", and knew that the place might cause competition. He also saw Mayor Dusty's soul stranded in Hades, and knew that the title deeds of many lands around Duke Town were in the hands of Moses.
The pharaoh detained the tribesmen in Duke Town, on the one hand, it may be because the skills they mastered are very useful, and it is most suitable to mine the sacred stone in Mount Horeb. More importantly, on the other hand, do you also want to meddle in the fertile land of thousands of miles in the future disputes, and the Eju Theological Academy also knows the changes that will take place in Duke Town? This kind of thing is uncertain. Since Goddess Mu Yun knew it well, the god of Aiju might also know about it, and perhaps reminded the people.
Amon was silent for a long time, and then asked in a low voice: "Moses, I heard that you own all the land deeds in Duke Town, is that true?"
Moses' expression suddenly became alert: "Who did you listen to?"
Amon sighed, put his hand on his shoulder and said: "Don't doubt me, I am not ordered to test you. After I left Duke Town, Mayor Dusty told me himself."
There were tears in Moses' eyes again: "I didn't bring the land deeds with me. I hid them in a hidden place in the city-state of Syria. My father sent me to the city-state, but he died in the flood. Before he left, he told you something what?"
Amon: "Mayor Dusty hopes that you and the survivors of Duke Town can return to their hometown and rebuild their homes. I also want to ask, are you willing to do this?"
Moses nodded involuntarily, stretched out his hand to grab Amon's arm and said, "Yes, this is what I and everyone else have dreamed of! Amon, you are now the patrol envoy of the Temple of Isis, can you save us?"
Amon shook his head helplessly and said: "I am just a small archives guard captain in the Temple of Isis. It is impossible for Pharaoh to change his order and release you. This time I came to Mount Horeb. I can only do my best to make you suffer Treat them better. But please rest assured, after I left Duke Town, I listened to the oracle, and the messenger of the gods will guide you to leave Eju and return to your hometown."
Moses' grip tightened: "Will the messenger of the gods come to Mount Horeb, and when?"
Amon patted the back of his hand and said: "Since the gods have promised, please wait patiently for the guidance of the oracle. The hopes of those miners are pinned on you, you are their leader, what you have to do now is to lead the people Live well and don't lose confidence and courage."
Amon didn't say anything more to Moses, because he didn't want to cause trouble for himself and his tribe. Some situations cannot be made public. It's not good for Moses to know too much too early. His appearance just gave the tribe a hope. After retaining Moses to have a sumptuous lunch with him, he ordered someone to send him back.
…
Amon stayed in Mount Horeb for more than ten days, nominally to recuperate his injuries, but Blanca and John really kept their promise, and the living conditions of the miners in Duke Town improved a lot. This group of people mined at least 40% of the sacred stone output here, and they deserve better treatment.
As John promised, as long as Amon doesn't take these tribesmen away, other things don't matter. In the remote place of Mount Horeb, Branca and him basically have the final say on all matters. Amon took the opportunity to make a small request to move to live near the miner's residence so that he could chat with his clansmen at any time. He was very concerned about the situation in his hometown and couldn't finish it in a few words.
The simple stone houses in that village are naturally inconvenient for Mr. Special Envoy to live in. The nearest ones are the residences of the divine magicians who mine the divine stones. Blanca ordered that the courtyard of the divine magicians in charge be released so that Amon Stay temporarily.
In fact, Amon didn't need to talk to those miners. After the flood, Duke Town no longer existed. There was really nothing to talk about. He had other plans. He has already figured out He Lieshan's situation. Although there are many warriors and magicians stationed here in turn, the defense is not strict.
Here, deep in the hinterland of Ecu, there is no threat of war in peaceful times, and no one will always tense up when nothing happens. On the other hand, Mount Horeb is a very remote semi-desert area, more than 200 miles away from the Roni River, and there are no villages, towns or residents nearby. No one comes here to make trouble, and it is not easy for people here to escape. Usually the work of mining mines is very hard, and there is really no need for too strict management.
He Lieshan's guards are not weak, but in terms of personal ability, none of them can match Amon's. Blanca has the highest level of spiritual skills, and John has the highest level of physical skills. The two of them combined are not as good as Ahmon. Meng Gaoming. Whatever Amon wants to do, there is always a way to hide it from other people's eyes and ears, as long as it is not too public.
…
It was late at night, and Moses lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, still thinking about the scene of meeting Amon. The appearance of Amon brought a glimmer of hope to the clansmen, and their treatment has improved a lot in the past few days, but is what he said true? Will there really be a god to guide them out of trouble? Moses has been suffering from insomnia for three days, and the arrival of Amon also brings new anxiety and expectations.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice saying in his ear: "Moses, please don't be afraid or surprised, the voice you hear is the guidance from the gods."
Moses was so frightened that he almost fell off the bed, and looked around for a long time. The room was dark and there was no sign of anyone. He sat up excitedly, and was about to speak, but heard the voice say again: "Don't talk!" , It is still impossible to communicate with me in this way. Please follow my instructions, put on your clothes and go out, follow a group of fluorescent lights to Mount Horeb, and I will wait for you there."
Moses only felt that his heart was beating so violently that it almost jumped 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 he couldn't give up this opportunity. He got up, got dressed, gritted his teeth, and walked out of the stone house bravely.
There was a little fluorescent light outside the door, like a firefly flying alone in the night. As soon as Moses went out, the light flew away. The night is very quiet, so quiet that people feel frightened, even the slightest footsteps seem to have an echo, as if there is an invisible person following behind.
Moses was very nervous, afraid of being discovered by the guards, but the fluorescent light led him around the stone houses, and he happened to meet no one, and finally left the small village and walked towards Mount Horeb. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he looked back. There were a few guards dozing off at the base of the wall outside the village in the distance. They didn't seem to notice him, so he turned around and went up the mountain with confidence.
The mountain is a bit steep, with sparse shrubs growing among the bare rocks. The fluorescent light is fast and slow, which is to guide Moses to reach the top of the mountain from the easiest path. Moses was very excited tonight, always feeling that there was an invisible force supporting him, and his steps were so light that he was about to fly and walk very fast.
The moonlight was bright, and there was a person standing on the top of the mountain, holding a branch in his hand, and wearing a cloak, he couldn't see his face clearly. The fluorescent light flew up to the top of the mountain and disappeared into his arms. He spoke to Moses. He was clearly standing in front of him, but his voice was very faint as if it came from far away: "Moses, from Duke Children of the town, please don't be afraid, I am the messenger who guides you!"
Moses felt like sleepwalking, he couldn't believe that he just walked out of the stone house, followed a group of fluorescent lights to the top of the mountain safely, and saw the speaker! He took a step forward and knelt down in the tunnel, "Are you really here to guide me and my people out of trouble?"
The man nodded and said: "Yes, since I guide you to this place to meet me, I will also guide you and the clansmen back to your hometown in the future, so you must not have any doubts in your heart."
Moses knelt on the ground without speaking for a long time, his shoulders were shaking uncontrollably, and he started to cry silently. Amon, who wore a cloak to hide his face and changed his voice, asked softly, "What's wrong with you, why do you cry when you see me?"
Moses wept softly: "I am crying for the fate of suffering, and I am also crying for my father and Duke Town! I finally saw you, can I ask, which god did this guide come from?"
Amon replied: "I made a promise in front of Goddess Mu Yun that I will guide you and your tribe to return to your hometown and rebuild your homeland."
Moses' shoulders trembled even more: "I dare not lie before the gods, but I do have doubts in my heart! When my father was buried in the flood, where was the patron saint? When my people and I were threatened with life, Where is the patron saint? I don't have any resentment towards the patron saint, but I really can't arouse the reverence I once had. The world has become so strange to me, and the former patron saint is just like a stranger!"
This child has quite a personality. Although he is only nineteen years old, he has experienced so many hardships, no matter who he is, he will become mature, and he can't help but think more. He has views on Goddess Mu Yun, although he has no resentment towards this god, but he really can't worship it. Amon asked him not to have doubts in his heart, but he expressed the most real thoughts that had been suppressed for a long time.
Amon didn't have enough time to explain anything to him, and he couldn't explain it clearly, but he had to give Moses a firm hope, so he had to say: "You don't resent the patron saint, which is rare. When praying to the gods, first think about what you have done, why do you ask the gods to do something for you? The former patron saint did want to guide the people back, but she is not the only god in the world."
Moses raised his tear-stained face: "I hope you can give me the only and firmest belief, which is the reason for us to live well in the midst of suffering. Since you have come here, will you always guide me? ? Your name, please!"
Amon replied: "My name is Arhat. When you have 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 under your own feet. As long as you don't give up your faith, then I won't give up on you, no matter whether you have the protection of the patron saint or not, no matter how many hardships and dangers you face, I will fulfill my promise."
Moses leaned down, kissed the dirt and said, "Your voice is the guidance of the gods, the unquenchable light in the darkness. Since you can guide me out of the cage to the top of the mountain, can you also guide the people of the tribe to leave here?"
Amon wanted to sigh but held back, and replied in a calm tone: "I can guide you to come here quietly in the dark, but going out from here is a desert, and it is thousands of miles away to return home. Living in many city-states, it is impossible for you and so many people not to be discovered, and it is impossible to escape tracking."
Moses asked disappointedly, "Then how can we leave?"
Amon: "Don't give up your faith, get ready 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 summoning you today. The miners' skills in Duke Town also contain magical and profound skills. It is a power with two sides in one body. I want to awaken this power for you , but also arouses your confidence and makes your mind really strong."
Amon changed his identity to teach Moses the power of one body and two sides, but he pretended that it was the miner's skill in Duke Town, and made Moses swear to keep it secret. On the one hand, this was done to convince Moses, and on the other hand, to avoid revealing his identity. As for whether Moses can master it, it depends on his luck, and Amon can't force it.
In the next few days, Amon would guide Moses to climb Mount Horeb quietly every night, holding the iron branch staff to perform the power awakening ceremony for him. The result did not disappoint Amon. Just before he left Mount Horeb, Moses awakened the power of one body and two sides. Amon made him make another very important oath—
"You must not pray to other gods. You must be firm in your only belief. I have taught you this power. You cannot learn physical and divine arts like other people in the world. You must accept my guidance."
The content taught by Amon involves the secrets of the gods. According to the guess of the old lunatic, the gods are probably not willing to pass it on. Amon once went to the divine domain of Erebi, the queen of the underworld, where he could hear the prayers and supplications of the believers. Therefore, Amon did not allow Moses to pray to other gods. If the secrets that the gods did not want to see in the world were revealed, it would not be good for him or Moses.
When the power of one body and two sides was awakened, Moses had completely convinced Amon, and he immediately bowed to the ground and said, "I understand that you are the only God in my heart!"
