Chapter 272

Rod Dick has received the Oracle from Allah. He is very eager to consult with medanzo and George, and to hear the voice of Amun himself. But on the other hand, he also received the latest orders from the Pharaon to build beautiful and magnificent statues for Seth, and to destroy the Oracle records of Angela and never allow them to be made public.

So rod Dick didn't leave the city to meet George and madanzo, pretending he didn't know anything. He knows very well that these two guests will come to see him, and then he will give him a warm reception. He wants to set the most exquisite banquet, but not in the city Lord's office or the city-state temple, but in his own private house to entertain old friends in a private capacity.

The actions of the Legion generals made rod Dick a headache, but the city Lord didn't expect anything more to come. The more he tried to pretend to be deaf and dumb, the more violent the medanzo and George were. When they entered the city-state, they were accompanied by the promontory temple and Yi Bin, the chief god of the an LA Legion. Many people ran out of the city to see the excitement and welcome them.

After entering the city, George and madanzo came directly to rod Dick's house, accompanied by the great magician Yibin, the senior generals of the Anla legion, and the officials and nobles of the promontory city-state.

Rod Dick knew for a long time that the two "distinguished guests" were going to enter the city today. Instead of going to the government office, he set up a banquet at home. He did not expect so many generals and officials to accompany George and madanzo to the door. One of the important reasons why all the adults have come to join in the excitement is the presence of the LORD God Yi Bin.

Yi Bin, the great master of divinity, has been in the promontory city for 20 years. His status and reputation are no less than those of the city Lord. Yi Bin met George and madanzo 150 miles out of the city. He met George and madanzo at the south end of the Red Sea, where the ruins of the red cape defense line were, and accompanied them.

……

As the chief god of the promontory temple and the an LA legion, Yi Bin had no personal relationship with Amun and others at that time. Why did he do this? The reason may be simple - he was a priesthood and a great magician with high achievements.

Since his childhood, he believed in the gods with sincerity and firmness. He was awakened to the "power given by the gods" and became a magician. He became a great magician before he was 30 years old. Maybe he could not compare with the rare genius like Maria or Amun, but his achievements were also very amazing. He was a standard theocrat in the traditional sense, and never wavered in his "faithfulness" to the gods.

When eracht carried out the monotheism reform, Yi Bin was puzzled, but he could also be relieved. He understood the Pharaonic's intention and thought that the mortals might not be able to interfere with what happened to the gods. However, the appearance of Amun made him fall into more confusion. It took him 20 years to seek the answer in his heart.

Amun chopped the statue of Seth in the promontory temple with his sword in front of Yibin, then broke the dome of the temple and flew away under Gabriel's help. Yibin knew that the man was Amun. Looking at rod Dick's eyes at that time, he clearly recognized who the assassin was. However, the order issued by the Pharaoh later obviously altered the Oracle, claiming that the name of the man was Satan.

Amun chopped up the statues of Seth in fourteen city-state temples, but the archangel the Kingdom believed in remained silent. After that, Seth seemed to disappear completely. Whenever Yi Bin presided over the sacrificial ceremony or prayed alone in the temple, he was constantly asking himself -

who gave him strength, what guided him, and who was the God he worshipped every day? As a God, he offered sacrifices to the gods on behalf of the people in the city-state, and conveyed the oracle to the people on behalf of the gods. But is that God really the one he truly believes in?

Sometimes, when he appears in public sacrificial ceremonies, he even feels like a clown in acting. With such an idea, he should not continue to get the power given by the gods, and Yi Bin lost his power. This made him feel afraid and even desperate, thinking that the God abandoned him or was punishing him.

This situation puzzled Yi Bin for nearly ten years. Since there was no war, no one could see that the LORD God could no longer use his mana. Finally, one day, when Yi Bin was able to accept the status quo, admitted that he did not believe in his heart, Seth no longer prayed to Seth, and was ready to submit his resignation to the eju Empire, he found that his strength miraculously recovered and became a level 8 great magician.

From then on, Yi Bin fell into deeper thinking, and many problems were deeply buried in his heart. Until one day recently, his confusion for many years seemed to disappear, because he heard the divine metaphor of an LA.

The great magician's understanding of the oracle was not very different from that of other people. It turned out that Amun was an-la who came to earth, while Seth took advantage of an-la's absence from the sky. When Amun returned from the human world to the sky, he cut down Seth, and those incomprehensible questions were perfectly explained.

For the priests like Yibin, the oracles accepted in firm faith were more authoritative than the orders of the Pharaohs. Moreover, if he can achieve this position, he must not only be a bookworm who recites divinities and practices divinities, but also can see the current situation of Pharaoh eracht. Although the words of the orders sent by the Pharaoh to the cities were severe, they were not willing to carry them out."The destruction of Oracle records is absolutely not allowed to be made public", which in Yi Bin's view is a kind of blasphemy, which is more inconsistent with the imperial decrees. Not to mention the oracle of the God an-la, even the oracle of the so-called evil god Seth should be released in Yi Bin's opinion. What the will of the gods is, let the people of the world comment on it.

So he didn't want to carry out the orders of the Pharaoh in his heart, and sent a secret letter to ask his most respected great magician Wald to do? Wald, the Ninth level master of divinity, is old and seldom deals with worldly affairs. His reply to Yi Bin only has a meaningful sentence: "look for the glory of light and wait for the right time."

What is the right time? It's natural that veteran officials like rod Dick know the most. Yi Bin, of course, has to discuss such an important matter with the city Lord of Dick. However, rod Dick was hesitant. He suggested that the Oracle records should not be destroyed but not published for the time being; the orders of the Pharaohs should be carried out on the surface but delayed secretly; the recruitment of craftsmen to rebuild the statue of Seth should be prepared first, but not in a hurry.

According to rod Dick's knowledge, other neighboring city states adopted a similar attitude. They did not publicly issue the Oracle against the order of the Pharaoh, but secretly delayed the restoration of the statue of Seth. Everyone is waiting for the first to raise an objection. Conflicts will come sooner or later. However, the first offenders will be severely suppressed and may become the first victims.

It was in this situation that George and madanzo came to the promontory city-state. Yi Bin heard the news out of the city 150 Li, in the original red cape defense line at the south end of the two distant visitors. On the narrow throat road at the south end of Chihai, there is a military fortress, which is also a big town where the caravan stops. The local garrison general is about to hold a banquet when he hears that the LORD God Yi Bin suddenly arrives.

When Yi Bin met George and madanzo, he first explained his intention: "I am the LORD God of the Legion of Angela and the promontory city-state. I admire their achievements and reputation, so I come here to meet them."

George said modestly with a smile: "we just went back to eju in private status to visit our old friends. We didn't want to disturb Lord Yibin."

However, medanzo said bluntly: "Lord Yibin, you have come to see us from such a long distance, don't you just want to express your enthusiasm and politeness? If you have something to do, you may as well say so. "

Yi Bin bowed down and said, "I'm not asking for anything, I'm just looking for an answer. You are not only the Lords of the army of Allah, but also followers of the God Amun. In particular, Lord George used to be from the same origin as me, but he witnessed the real gods in the world. I have vowed to believe in the gods and maintain their glory. But when the gods came to the world, the priests who thought they were closest to the gods were blind. So I want to see you and think about how to face the gods? "

George's voice whispered in his soul: "Lord God, have you received an Oracle from Allah?"

Yi Bin also quietly replied: "yes, it is this matter that makes my soul uneasy, and the Pharaon ordered to destroy the records and never make them public."

George: is this order of the Pharaoh stupid

Yi Bin: "stupid but helpless, the name of eracht and the fate of Seth, he has no other choice."

George: so you can only carry out such an order

Yi Bin showed a look of asking for advice: "I am meeting the messenger of Amun God today, which shows that I do not want to carry out the orders of the Pharaoh. You are bound to come here with the guidance of Amun, and I would like to know what this guidance is

George gently waved his hand and said, "you and I are not puppets. We should know what we want to do and what we can do? Since you are here, please do me a favor. We are going to enter the promontory city to visit rod Dick. The bigger the scene is, the better. It's better to call on the senior generals of the ji'an-la army and the adults of the city-state. "

……

Rod - Dick originally planned to wait at home, very "accidentally" ushered in the arrival of madanzo and George. But now this scene let him no longer pretend to go on. After hearing the news, he had to open the door of the mansion to meet the outside personally. He saw Yi Bin and others all the way.

Rod Dick, who was a good-natured tactician, quickly stepped forward, opened his arms to madanzo and George and said, "it's been a long time since I saw you! I've already prepared good food and wine in my house. I'll have a good drink today! Are all the generals and adults here? Come on, come on! We will sit down together and drink together, and we will not go back if we are not drunk. "

Medanzo laughed, looked at rod Dick and said, "Lord, you are fat!"

Rod Dick was once the youngest city Lord of eju. He is ten years older than Amun, and is now 56 years old. At this age, for ordinary people, rod Dick is not only a big aristocrat who can only support himself. He is also a sixth level warrior, and his achievements in physical skills are quite high.

Although he is a little bit fat today, he has not abandoned his martial arts for many years. After all, as a commander in chief, he may go to the battlefield. Although he had never been a warrior, he was still strong. At the moment, the sixth level warrior, of course, didn't wear a sword. He only dressed up everyday and invited people into the mansion to hold a banquet to celebrate the reunion of his old friends.

George and madanzo did not know how many dinners they had along the way. Today's meal is the most luxurious. The table is full of exquisite gold and silver utensils. Rod - Dick is very enthusiastic in the dinner, can not help toasting, but also recalled many of the past, talking about the emotional place can not help but sigh. However, the "smart" city Lord never asked about the whereabouts of medanzo and George, just reminiscing about the past.When the wine was almost over, all the generals untied their lapels, and hot sweat began to appear on his forehead. Medanzo raised his glass to rod Dick and stood up.

Rod Dick quickly got up and took his glass and said, "Lord medanzo, it should be my toast. Come here and let me fill it for you with my own hands."

However, medanzo held out his hand and said, "Lord, don't worry about toasting me. I brought up this glass of wine for Amun. Since you have already raised your glass, should you first offer it to God Amun? "

Rod Dick replied, "this wine, let's worship the gods together."

Rod Dick did not have a person to toast alone. He called on all the people present and said "worship the gods". As a result, all the generals raised their glasses and stood up and said in a loud voice, "worship Amun!" Then the other adults also stood up, some said, "worship the gods!" Some people say, "worship Amun!" Anyway, I'll give you all the wine.

After putting down the cup, medanzo did not sit down, and said bluntly, "Lord Dick, this time we come to visit, it is Amun God who asked me to ask you two questions."

Rod Dick secretly complained that the things he wanted to avoid could not be avoided after all. Medanzo asked questions in public on this occasion. As long as he opened his mouth, it would be difficult to explain afterwards. The city Lord hesitated for a moment and sighed in secret, but he still put down his glass and bowed down and said, "what is the instruction of Amun?"

It's strange to say that as soon as this sentence was uttered, rod Dick's original uneasy heart became calm instead. In fact, he wanted to know - what would Amun say to him?

Medanzo asked calmly: "Allah has already sent down the oracle. Why has the promontory city-state covered up the voice of the gods and blinded people's ears, and has not yet promulgated it? Did the promontory city-state receive the Oracle, and why not make it public? Lord rod Dick, what would you do if you were to make a genuine decision? The gods don't want to blame anyone, they just want the answer

Rod Dick did not answer, but the LORD God Yibin took it. He bowed down and said with fear: "the promontory city-state has indeed received an Oracle from anra. The priests of the temple and the Lord of Dick know it. As for why it has not been published, it is not the fault of the Lord of Dick, because the Pharaoh has issued a secret order to destroy the Oracle records and not allow it to be made public. "

The great magician told the truth, and the audience was shocked. Most of them didn't know about it. Today, it's the first time to hear about it. They all asked, "revered master of divinity, what instruction has been sent by God an - La, and why did Pharaoh not let it be made public? Anyway, it's all our own people. Just tell me

The city officials were polite, but the generals wanted to pat the table.

Yibin looked at George with a solicitous look. George just gave a smile, and medanzo said in a loud voice: "stupid Pharaoh, do he think his orders can stop the will of the gods? Do you not think, Lord God and city Lord, if Allah sends down the oracle at the time of the city's great ceremony and let all the people hear it, can you cover it? "

Yi Bin could not help but remind in a low voice: "since ancient times, the Oracle only came to the praying priests in the temple, and never let all the people listen in the grand ceremony."

This is the truth. When the gods of the land of Tianshu came to the Oracle, they came through the priests in the temple. Sometimes the priests pray to the gods for instructions for specific events, and the gods may give instructions; sometimes the priests will hear the voice of the gods in their daily prayer, which is the Oracle given by the gods on their own initiative.

The temple is the place where people offer sacrifices to gods and accept the oracle. The priests in the temple are not only the organizers of sacrifice, but also the spokesmen of gods in the world. There are at least three advantages for the gods to do so:

the first is that they can form a stable source of divine power by means of the combination of theocracy and monarchy. It's impossible for the gods to build temples themselves. Second, they can avoid many conflicts or doubts. When people are dissatisfied, they will not directly target the gods, but resent those priests who have violated the will of God.

The third advantage is obvious, which is the most convenient. In theory, the God can hear the prayer and call of all believers in the God Kingdom, but in fact, he can't concentrate all the time to distinguish countless thoughts. The most important thing for the priests to do is to pray to the gods.

In theory, gods can speak to all the people who believe in him, but many gods do not have such huge magic power, especially some nine level gods are also regarded as gods, so they have no such ability. Besides, the gods are not always on earth. When they are in the kingdom of God, it is difficult to communicate directly with ordinary mortals in the soul as they are in the human world.

At this time, it is necessary to convey the oracle in a specific way. It is the simplest and most effective way to place the incarnation in the statue, which is equivalent to the extension of the God's perception, and can give instructions to the priest in the state of prayer and meditation.

Medanzo would never have explained these things clearly on such occasions, and there were some mysteries that he had not mastered himself, and George, who had never spoken, finally spoke.**(to be continued.
