"When it comes to travel, what is a traveler and who is a traveler?

"Before I get to that, let me ask you a question, were the first couple of mankind, Adam and Iwu, a stranger?

"No one answered? Look at your bewildered faces, and you don't seem to have any impression of the question?

"That's not right, so you don't know, it's understandable, but haven't they reached a little bit of the original?

"Isn't it that human beings have lived in it since they were created, and were not driven out until they were tempted by Satan to sin and punished by the Creator?" In order to prevent them from returning to the Origin without permission, the Creator also sent the angel with the sword of fire, whose name seems to be the cherubim, to guard the eastern entrance of the Plain, from which the two Ancestor-level figures were exiled!

"I have never seen the angel with the sword of fire, it is said that if you don't agree with a word, the head is a sword, and I know an exact historical event, that Cain, who once didn't know that the string was wrong, and took five thousand men to attack a little ......

"Well, in fact, they didn't attack, they just wanted to go in, but because there was a cherubim guarding the gate, they had to cut the gate to get in, and they had to use force to rush through.

"But is the cherubim a good friend? Anything that has to do with fire is a temper, and this one is no exception, jealous and hateful!

"At the moment, without saying a word, it was a sword of fire that slashed over.

As a result, not a single one of the 5,000 people ran away, and all of them were cut to ashes!

"What? Don't you believe it? No matter how heavy and fast that sword is, it will kill 5,000 people at most, and it will never turn into ashes, you are an exaggerated and exaggerated literary description!

"Ho ho! I said you weren't very literary! Didn't you notice that the cherubim was holding a sword of fire? Fire, you know what it means? Is the effect of fire logical to ash and ash?

"What, you're still not convinced?

"Oh, so you don't understand that fire word thoroughly!

"Now let me teach you head-on, that fire is not a mortal fire, but a heavenly fire! Heavenly fire, you know, can burn and destroy everything in the mortal world, not to mention that those 5,000 people are the most heinous people!

"What? You don't have a problem with fire, but how do you know that those 5,000 people are the worst of sin?

"Duh! You also have to ask such a superficial question: Can the fire of heaven burn the innocent? Why don't you even have the ability to draw inferences?

"I'll get here first, and if you don't understand it yet, go back to the wall and punish you for three days and three nights.

"By the way, when it comes to a little original, I can't get in, I have inquired, although I am a righteous person, but it is not yet time, because to go back, it must be all the righteous together, and the current time is from that time, I really don't know how long.

"I'm not in a hurry anyway, as long as I'm a righteous person, I'll be able to enter one day!

"Here, by the way, I would like to advise you, if you also want to go in, and strive to become a righteous person, like me, I guarantee that you will be able to do so, on the contrary, if you do not become a righteous person, there is no hope, and it is better not to hold on to such delusions.

"One more point, I also want to clearly warn, let alone learn from that Cain, although he is still my grandfather in terms of seniority, but his approach is obviously not worthy of my approval, don't force a little original, otherwise the fire sword falls, and it can only turn to ashes.

"As the saying goes, water and fire are ruthless, and they are dedicated to human life, not to mention the fire of heaven! By the way, there is also Tianshui, I won't talk about this, maybe when, Baili Liangliu will take you to see it, and know the real power of Tianshui!

"Well, according to the historical experience and painful lessons of the first grandfather and grandmother, the two elders were driven out of the Yuan, left the permanent home of mankind, which is also the supreme beautiful homeland, and began their journey!

"What is the situation described by this traveler?

"If any of you have the ability to form a picture in your mind by thinking about it, you can now apply it in this way, that is, two people walking out of the house in embarrassment, looking back again and again, and not knowing what to do, and the grief in their hearts can be imagined.

"No, I'm going to polish my descriptive language.

"Their situation is not that they don't know when they will go home, but they will never be able to go back, even if they live for another seven or eight hundred years, but they don't even have a chance to get close to the door of their home, and that subsequent development, if they know at this time, they don't know what to do.

"It is estimated that they will immediately cry and faint on the road, and the strength to move forward is gone.

"There is another thing, that though they walked towards the east, there was not even a single road under their feet, for those places were all outside the plain, and no pedestrians had ever set foot on them.

"Even if there were, there were only the footprints of wild beasts.

"But, knowing that it is a place where wild beasts are rampant, do these two still dare to go?

"Once upon a time, as the general agent and general manager of the Creator on earth, Adan named all the animals, and became their obedient master, who could command the beasts and obey everything.

But since he sinned, everything has changed.

"At all times, the patriarch Adam was so, and the people of today are the same, if they rebel against the Creator, they will be made enemies of all that the Creator has created.

"Take Yadan's experience as an example, saying that the comfortable breeze turned into a biting cold wind!

It means that the natural environment has changed his attitude towards him, making him cold inside and out, and he must be protected from the cold.

His own method was to pluck some leaves to cover his shame, thinking that it was the shame that caused him to feel cold.

This of course does not solve the problem, but it offends the tree, because the leaves are the needs of the tree itself, but they are plundered away.

Then it was the Creator who made him out of animal skins to make clothes to cover his shame and keep him warm.

Of course, this effect is better than leaves, but it is obtained at the cost of depriving the animals of their lives, so Yadan became the mortal enemies of those animals, they represent all wild animals, and they have since become enemies of humans.

"The combined consequence here is to be driven out of the Plain, which is a perfect area for human activity, and all the conditions are the most practical for human habitation.

"Their expulsion from the plain represents their entry into a jungle from which one has to overcome all the hostilities and predicaments of the environment itself, and to work hard to obtain the conditions for survival.

"In addition to these changes in conditions, there is also the curse of the Creator against them, which is with them like maggots attached to the bones, which are difficult to get rid of.

One of the things that had to do with the great hardship of their lives was the curse that the Creator had placed on them, that they had to work all day long to produce food from the earth and fill them with pride, or they would have to starve.

"This kind of toil, he has never experienced at all, he has to toil to the point of 'sweating', this kind of taste, the wind and the sun, the little bit of food everywhere, can never be experienced.

In this difficult environment, Adan and Igo began to wander and live without a fixed place, and at the same time, they could not find any place that could satisfy them, but wandered everywhere, because the world is so big that there is no place comparable to the original.

In this case, the two Ancestors naturally suffered a great deal of suffering, and from the history of mankind, they had no hope of returning to their original origins, because the Creator had made up his mind to let them live in exile and die in wandering.

But it is not the Creator's will that they should be destroyed for a lifetime!

"The requirement for this first pair of ancestors is to be fruitful and multiply, and to fill the earth, and not to change, that is, they must complete this mission of human reproduction, so that their descendants will eventually return to the original place.

"So it was natural that he was protected from the turbulent displacement, even though the people who started had no other members of humanity to receive them.

However, it can also be understood that he received a final reception.

Because the so-called reception is the hospitality of the host to the guest after there is a host, there is a distinction between host and guest.

"Wherever Adam and Igo go, because there is no master, they themselves are masters, and the good of this environment is unique, and it is the Creator's hospitality to them, because they are masters all the way, and of course they must be the best hospitality to themselves.

It was only then that the Creator's intention of hospitality to the Traveler was perfectly realized.

This situation took a tragic turn when Adan gave birth to the second generation of humans.

Cain, the first man of the second generation, became jealous of the acceptance of the Creator for the sacrifice of his brother Abel.

This is also the earliest, probably the first time that human beings have developed jealousy.

The viciousness and ferocity of this jealousy led directly to Cain, the elder brother, to regard his own brother as an enemy.

"After an encounter in the field, and some quarrels, Cain suddenly became murderous to Abel!

So much so that this hateful brother actually waved a pickaxe, and a guy stabbed into Abel's head, which was more powerful than plowing the ground!

"Poor Abel, because he sacrificed the best lamb to the Creator, died at the hands of his brother.

Of course, this could not be concealed from the Creator, who, in a fit of rage, exiled Cain again, that is, farther away from the place where he had been exiled to Adaniwu.

"Because both places are east of the Dian Yuan, from then on, the place of exile of Adan is the Near East, which is closer to the One Plain, and of course the conditions are better.

Cain's penal colony was farther away from the Near East, so it was called the Far East, and because it was farther away from the Near East, the conditions were more difficult.

But distance is not the point, the point is the Creator's protection of Cain.

At this time, the murderer Cain was also intimidated, and the punishment he received was too severe, and perhaps he would be killed by the people of the Far East if he was exiled.

"Actually, at that time, there was no one there, how could he be killed?

"Yadan's fool who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong won't go after him, he's just an interface, the purpose is not to continue to wander away, to the Far East, just to continue to rely on the territory reclaimed by his father.

"But where the Creator will listen to his interface, exile is inevitable, but to be killed by the master there, by a helpless traveler, the danger is still great, even if there is no one now, there will be in the future.

So the Creator gave him a protective warrant that whoever killed Cain would be punished sevenfold!

"This protective order is very powerful, meaning that whoever dares to kill the righteous man of Cain, the creator will kill his whole family!

This is also an example of the use of heavy canons in troubled times, used to deter those who pit and kill the murderers.

"One thing to remember, as far as I know, Cain did not pass on his descendants directly, as Seth, the descendant of Adan, did to him, so why should he protect them?

"You can look at the mystery of the creation of the giants, they are actually the result of the marriage between the descendants of Seth and the descendants of Cain, and from the whole situation, the giants are only an isolated phenomenon, and most of the descendants of this intermarriage are ordinary people.

From this, we can see that although there are no direct descendants of Cain in the world, but the human race that has continued to the present day, with the participation of Cain's descendants, we may not know these things, but is it not clear that the creator who has no last resort?

"Apparently these are all in his predestination!"

Enoch shook his lips and puffed his tongue, but although he was powerful, he still had a dry mouth.

Suddenly thought that he was still like this, not to mention that those listeners were ordinary people, wouldn't they be even more dazzling when they heard it?

He quickly said, "I'm thirsty, I need to drink some water, rest for a while, and then I'll come back and talk about the journey." ”

Moon Gongzi is obviously a little anxious, there is no turning inheritance, the camera cuts directly, and it is his own home.

It was then that Menos, who was as shrewd as an angel, spoke: "Poor thing, what plague have you been waiting for?

"Do you know? Now I see that your heads, faces, and knees are covered in the dark night mist, and you are crying and your faces are covered with tears, and you look like a great disaster is coming!

"And this horrible environment, with blood beads dripping on the walls, red on the exquisite pillars, and ghosts everywhere in the antechamber and courtyard, rushing down to the underworld, the dark underworld!

"What's even more terrifying is that above the sky, the sun has disappeared from the sky, and there is no glimmer of light from the sun angel, and the dim mist covers everything here, including you people and the scenery around you. ”

He finished with a heartfelt tone, and the melancholy tone was unbearable, but the dying suitors were so ignorant and ignorant that they laughed at him.

Marcos, son of Rupos, was the first to speak, and said, "I see that there is something wrong with your head, you newcomer, and come, I say, lads, send him out of the palace and go to the place where the meeting is made, since he thinks it is as dark as night." ”

At this, the angelic shrewd Menos replied: "Marcos, I don't want you to send an escort;

"Besides, the minds in my bosom are quite alert, and they will carry me out of the palace, and I have seen evil coming upon you, and no one among the suitors will seek refuge!

"You put others to shame and devise desolation in the house of angels, and in the end the angel of justice will bring retribution to you, and to you, all wicked people who seek pleasure!"

After saying this, Menos walked out of the splendid palace and went to the house of the pig herdsman Osi, where he was warmly received.

At that time, the suitors were staring at each other and making insulting remarks, and they themselves were guests, but they tried to tease themselves by mocking their guests.

One of the arrogant young men said: "No one is more discouraged than you, but as far as hospitality is concerned, you have taken this man, this wanderer, who wants this and that, wine and bread, and has neither strength nor the ability to work, but is a wreck who crushes the ground!"

Just now, the boy stood up again and made a prediction. You will benefit greatly, and if you are willing to listen to my advice, send strangers to the Sicilian land in ships with many oars, and he will earn you a high exchange for you. ”

The suitor only said it himself, but he ignored it, but looked at his father silently, always waiting for that moment to come, waiting for his father to move himself and wave his hands, and he burst out and killed those scoundrels who proposed.

The cautious Lopei, the daughter of Os, had moved the fine chair and sat by the door of the bedroom, listening to the words of everyone in the room.

The suitors laughed, prepared delicious meals, slaughtered many animals, and slaughtered them on a killing spree.

But there is no less pleasing feast on earth: the sheep-eyed angel and the strong Nogi will soon make them drink their flesh and blood! they deserve it, because they are the first to do the ugly thing.

It was at that time that the sheep-eyed angel urged the daughter of Oth, the cautious Luo Pei, to take out a curved bow and gray iron and put them in front of the suitor.

According to Rope's plan, he set up a race in No's house as a beginning, and began the sacrifice needed for the slaughter, and in fact brought the suitors to the slaughterhouse.

Luo Pei walked up the stairs to her suite, and in her firm hand held the beautiful, finely cast bronze key, with the handle of ivory, and led the maid to the innermost room, the storage room in the distance.

In that precious chamber lay the treasures of the master, bronze, gold, and gray iron, which had been painstakingly smelted, and lay the curved bow that was pulled back, and the pouch in which the arrows were inserted, and many feathered arrows that caused wounds and diseases.

These were gifts from a friend, in Laquedemon, from Fitos, son of Rutos, a strong angel and a close friend of his travels.

They met in the house of the brilliant Rokos, where he had sent himself to collect a debt owed by the Prince, and the Senai had driven a great ship to the North Hill to drive away three hundred sheep and their shepherds.

Now, he had come from afar to lead a mission that he had been sent by his father and the elders to undertake alone, when he was just a boy.

Toth went there in search of a good horse, and the twelve mares that were lost were fed to the hard-working mules, but the horses brought destruction and disaster.

At that time, he found a strong man named Kleus, who was good at those very difficult undertakings, and he killed Thoth, although the latter was a visiting guest.

And he was in his house, and this wicked man, who feared neither the rebuke of the angels, nor the table at which he entertained Toth, his guests, slew them, and took the good horses with strong hooves and legs, and adopted them in his house.

In this way, in search of the mare, Toth met Noji and gave him this curved bow, which had been the use of the illustrious Rutos, and passed it to his son on his deathbed, in a high house.

Noji gave Toth a sharp back sword and a heavy spear, and the two forged a sincere friendship.

But they didn't entertain each other, and before they could carry it out, Thoth was killed.

These weapons were never taken with him on expeditions, nor on a voyage to distant lands with him on a black sea-going ship, but they were kept in the palace in memory of his dear friend, though in his own kingdom he had carried them with him.

At that time, Luo Pei, the best of women, walked to the storehouse, and in front of the threshold of oak, the carpenter carefully cut and planed, tightly fastened the painted pink thread, pressed the kissed frame pillar, and installed the glittering façade.

First, she loosened the rope from the handlebar, then inserted the key, aimed it at the eyelet, and unstruck the latch, and the door made a noise, like the moo of a bull, grazing on the grass outside.

Just like that, the beautiful door slammed, and with the pull of the key, it quickly opened in front of her eyes.

Then she stepped onto the raised slab, near the old chest, and with her fragrant garments, she reached out and removed the curved bow, which covered the surface of the bow from the top of the nail, along with the shining bow bag.

She sat down with a bent stoop, put what she had in her hands on her knees, took out her husband's bow, and wept out loud when she saw it and thought about it.

When the bitter tears soothed the sorrow in Rope's heart, she arose and walked into the hall to meet the noble suitor, with the curved bow drawn back in her hand, and the pouch in which the arrows were inserted, and the many feathered arrows that caused wounds and diseases.

The maids carried chests of iron and bronze casts, which were the belongings of their masters, and they placed them before the suitors.

Rope, the best of the women, came near the suitor, and stood under the pillars of the house, the ends of which supported the solid roof, and the shiny turbans that hid his face, and a faithful servant on each side.

She immediately spoke, and said to the suitors: "Listen to me, you proud suitors! You have been living in the palace, eating and drinking incessantly, and endlessly, even though this is the property of another man, who has long been away from his homeland;

"You can't give any other reason, no other excuse, and it is very vexatious for me to marry and be your wife and companion according to your wishes! I have said this many times, but you will not listen.

"Now, suitors, now that the reward is before you, I will take out the angelic longbow of my own use, and let him who has the bow in his hand, and the string of the strings the most brisk, and one arrow through the twelve axes, will lead me away!

"Then I will be able to leave my own house, where I was the bride, a very beautiful palace with good treasures.

"I know that if I don't leave here, I'll never forget it, and even if I leave with one of you, I know I'll still miss my new home, even if it's just in a dream. ”

With that, she told Os, the noble swineherd, to take a bow and a gray iron and lay it before the suitor.

Os took it, with tears in his eyes, and placed it in front of them.

The cowherd wept and cried, and when he saw the master's bow and arrow, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and it was difficult to suppress it.

However, this drew insults from Tinus.

He shouted to the two of them: "Stupid, dirt bun, never thought of tomorrow!"

"Despicable things, why do they burst into tears, and troubled our lady, and troubled her heart?

"She has grieved a great deal and grieved in her heart, for the loss of her husband, for the love of her soul.

"Go, sit quietly and eat, or go outside the house and cry, and get out of front of us.

"Leave the bow here, and the suitors will have a crucial game, and I don't think this shiny bow can be easily hung on the strings. None of us can compare with Himself as he did.

"I saw him with my own eyes and still remember him, even though he was a child and innocent. ”

When Tinus had spoken, the heart of his heart wished that he could hang a bowstring and pierce all the pieces of iron.

Although at last he was the first to taste the feathered arrows, and proudly moved his arm, which had just been humiliated by him, and sat in his own palace, he encouraged all his companions to rebuke him.

At that moment, Ji Ming, the mighty prince, spoke, "Cough, it must be the Mighty One who has deceived my mind! My beloved mother, as brilliant as she may be, told me that she would abandon this house and go with another man.

"And I, out of stupidity at heart, laughed and was elated!

"Forget it, people who propose marriage, since the reward has been set, a woman, you can't wait for a woman to compare with her.

"Whether in the vast land of our own country, or in the sacred Los and Gos. Or Kenai, or in the North Mountains itself, or even the gray-black shelf wilderness!

"You all know this, you don't need me to praise your mother, come, don't make excuses, don't be slow, don't be delayed, let's do it, let us see how you put on the bowstring!"

"Yes, I myself would like to try my skills, so that if I could make a good string and pierce the axe, my noble mother would not run away from anyone, and I would have been left at home with pain, thinking that I would be able to move my father's house, the glorious weapon. ”

With that, Ji Ming jumped up, untied his purple cloak, took off his sharp bronze sword, and from his shoulder, he raised the axe with his hands, dug a long ditch, stuck it along the straight powder line, buried all the axes, and trampled on the dirt on both sides.

The onlookers were dumbfounded, amazed at the neatness of the erections, though they had never seen them before.

Then he walked with his bow and tried to hang the strings, and stood on the threshold. Three times in a row, he bent the trembling bow, and he couldn't wait, and three times in a row, he gave up.

Although he knew that he would not succeed, he still had hope in his heart that he could hang the string and shoot feathered arrows.

At that moment he bent the bow for the fourth time, and was about to hang the string, but he shook his head and told him to stop, even though he was anxious.

At this time, he could only stop for the time being.

Ji Ming, the mighty prince, opened his mouth and said, "Hell, it seems that I will only be a weakling, a coward, or I am still young and have no confidence in defending myself with my own hands, and I will fight against someone who provokes trouble."

"Come on, you and others who are stronger than me, try your skills, just this curved bow, and let's end this game. ”

After Ji Ming finished speaking, he put down his strong bow, stood against the ground, leaned against the strong, smooth and smooth gate, put the swift feather arrow against the exquisite bow end, walked away from the seat he had just left, and bent down to sit.

Then Tinus, son of Perseth, spoke: "Arise in turn, my companions, from left to right, in the order in which the wine was poured, and begin to hang the strings. ”

Tinus's suggestion was met with approval.

Lydes rose first, and the son of Noppus, the priest among them, always sat by the side, beside the bowl of wine, and urged him to hate the tyranny of the suitors, and to hate their actions.

He was the first to take up the bow and the swift feathered arrows, and walked to try to attach the strings, and stood on the threshold, but without success, his softened, calloused hands were tired of dealing with the taut strings.

He opened his mouth to the suitors, and said, "I can't hang the string, my friends, and whoever is next, let him try his hand, I think this bow will shoot down many great men, and break their hearts."

"In fact, it is not good to die, it is better to live like this, not to be able to get what you want, to gather here every day, always looking forward to it!

If he fails, he will divert his pursuit, and another woman in a beautiful dress will be won for her marriage and give a gift, and Luo Pei will marry the man who gives the most gifts, the destined companion. ”

After saying this, Ludes put down his bow, pressed it against the ground, leaned against the strong, smooth and shiny gate, pressed the swift feathered arrow to the fine bow end, walked back to the chair from which he had just left, and bent down to sit down.

Tinus scolded him and called him by name: "What is this, Lydes, who has burst out of your teeth? You are spreading the mood of defeat, a bunch of nonsense, which makes me angry to hear it!"

"I don't believe that this bow will shoot down many great men and break their hearts, just because you can't get on its strings!

"Look, the other noble suitors will hang up the strings at once. ”

When Tinus had finished speaking, he urged Sios, the man who herded the goats.

"Come, Sios, light the firewood in the palace, lay down a great stool, spread out the sheepskin, and lay it by the fire.

"Then you bring out a large plate of tallow from the storeroom, and let me and the other young people warm up the bow, apply it with oil, and bend the bow shaft to end this farce. ”

When the shepherd Sios heard the fellow's command, he hurried to light the tireless firewood, brought a stool, covered it with sheepskins, and took out a large plate of tallow from the trough, and the young man heated the bow shaft and tried his skills, but could not hang the string.

Their strength was far from what they wanted, and yet Tinus and Marcos persisted, and the leader of the suitors was far more handsome than his companions.

At that time, the shepherds and the pig shepherds went out of the palace together, and the angel-like resourceful servants of the servants of the Privy Others, and the Brilliant Ones, went out to join them.

When they walked away from the palace gate and the courtyard, they opened their mouths and said in gentle words: "Cattle herder, and you, friend of the pig herd, do I keep it in my throat, or do I bury it in my heart?"

"My soul urges me to speak, and to speak to you.

"How will you fight to defend yourself if he returns suddenly, and returns from a certain land, to be led by the angel?

"Who will you fight for, for yourself, or for the people who are suiting? ”

When the stranger heard this, the servant who tended the sheep and cattle answered: "If you will fulfill my prayer, the Almighty One, and bring the man back to his homeland, and be led by the angels, I will worship you all the days of my life, and I will not lack sacrifices to you."

"When he returns, when he takes revenge on the suitor, you will see my strength, what my hands can do, to help my master and accomplish his plan of revenge!"

Before that, Oth had prayed the same prayer to all the Almighty and the angels, that they should let the scheming ones return to their homeland.

When he learned that their hearts were loyal and reliable, he replied and said, "I am him, and I have returned to my own home, and after all the hardships, I have returned to my homeland!"

"I have ascertained that you are the only one of my men who wants me to return, and I have not heard anyone pray that I should return and return to my home, so I will tell you both my true feelings, and this will be the case......

"If by my hands the mighty struck down the arrogant suitor, then I will give you both a wife, and give you property, and build a house, and live next to me, and henceforth as relatives, and as brothers and friends.

"Come, let me show me a clear and unmistakable mark, that you may be convinced of who I am: behold, this scar, the scar of the boar with its white fangs, is on Mount Soth, with the sons of Rukos. ”

When he had looked closely and made out a long scar, they wept aloud, and took the wise Nogi by the shoulders and welcomed his return, and kissed his shoulders and skulls, and Noji kissed them, their heads and hands.

Stop their weeping in time, or the light of the sun will reflect their weeping, so that all will see them, and let their plans be known prematurely.

Then he said, "Stop mourning, and stop weeping, in case anyone goes out of the palace gate and finds me and others, they will inform the people inside, and be prepared against us, and even come out to attack us."

"Now, let's go in separately, don't walk around together, I'll go first, and you two will follow.

"As soon as this scene appears, it is a signal of action: the band, all the suitors who are guests, refuse to let me get the bow and the quiver, and then you, noble Os, must go through the hall and take the bow in my hand.

Then tell the women in the house to bolt the tightly closed door of the hall, and if anyone hears the sound of shouting and crashing in the hall, the men will fight in it, and tell them not to run out in fright, but to stay where they are and do the work at hand.

"Noble Osi, your task is to close the door of the death court, plug in the wooden bolt, strike quickly, and tie it firmly with a rope. ”

After saying this, he walked into the splendid palace, walked back to the chair he had just left, and bent down to sit down, and the other two, the resourceful servants of Noji, like angels, followed behind.

Meanwhile, in the arena inside, Marcos had already picked up the bow, fiddled with it, kept flipping, and tried to roast it soft and make it easy to operate.

But despite this, he still couldn't put on the strings, and this failure tortured his arrogant mind

With great resentment, he said to his coarse mind: "Ahem, pestilence, I grieve for myself and for all of you!"

"In spite of my troubles, I am not saddened by marriage, no! There are thousands of women in the country, some of them in this place, in Ithaca, where the waves of the sea are at home, and some in the cities of various places.

"I am saddened that we lack the strength, and if this is true, we are far less resourceful than the angels who sweep away the enemy's castle!

"This is our shame, even to the children and grandchildren who will be born in the future!"

At that time, Tinus, son of Perseth, replied: "It will not be so, Marcos, as you yourself know, for today the people are doing the same thing in the whole land with holy sacrifices and worship the Almighty.

"For now, who can hang the string and open the lead, let it be put down, and we will try again at another time, and let the axe stand upright, and I don't think anyone will come in and steal the piece of iron, and take it from the temple of the son of Lamech.

"Come, let the servants pour out the wine, and in your cups, let us sprinkle the sacrifices, and set aside the bows and crossbows.

"Tomorrow at dawn, let Theos, who herds the goats, bring the best of the pack, the best of the pack, to sacrifice the leg of the lamb to Apollo, the glorious archer, and then take the bow and end the contest. ”

When Tinus had finished speaking, the people applauded, and the messengers poured out water, and washed their hands, and the young men filled the jars with wine, and poured the offerings to the gods in the drinking vessels of the people, and then filled the cups of the people, and poured the blessed angels that they each looked up to in their hearts.

When the people had drunk enough wine, and when they were drunk, they listened to the resourceful Nuo Himself speak, hiding a cunning thought: "Listen to me, you and other suitors, and the queen who seeks glory, my words are inspired and driven by the heart.

"Now, for now, give me a shiny bow, so that in the midst of you, I may test my hands, and check the strength of my body, and see if there is any courage in my flexible limbs and legs, which I don't think I can do.

"But I still want to try, as I have done in the past, to see if the wandering and lack of food and clothing have completely destroyed the courage of my youth. ”
