"What are you afraid of!?"

Seeing that they were so nervous that they couldn't do it, Evan only felt angry and funny, so he scolded loudly with a straight face:

"Now the Imperial Legion is also undergoing a full-scale upgrade, and it is a time when there is a shortage of money, they are using our food to grow stronger, and we are also using their money to complete the armament upgrade. Do tanks know it? It's the kind of steel dragon with a huge body and strong scale armor that can be ridden by people! As long as there are 1,000 such weapons, what are the barbarians? Even if they crush them, they can crush them!"

“...... Even if trade is open, please treat it differently. Percibson's eyes rolled, and while he loosened his mouth, he offered a poisonous strategy: "Use the priority of the grain trade to distinguish between all kinds of barbarian beasts. Win over those who are in peace with themselves, suppress the forces that oppose the Empire, and let them kill each other and consume each other!"

"That's fine, just do what you say. Evan agreed.

"Your Majesty is wise. Percibson was overjoyed, bowed, and sat back in his seat.

"Your Majesty, there is something to report in the Hades Temple. ”

Xia Li tensed her little face, stood up in a decent manner, and made the air of a religious leader. She took a step forward, and after stroking her chest with one hand, she held up a scroll sealed in sheepskin:

"After the demon hunters and the local army excavated the land where the demon monuments were located, they found that these stone tablets were not built by manpower, but arched up from the depths of the earth like trees. Our men dug down more than fifty meters, but still couldn't find the source of the Evoking Monument...... Moreover, the overall distribution of the Evoking Monument is also extremely strange. This is the distribution map depicted by the temple, and the red dot is the symbol of the Evoking Monument, please take a look at it. ”

"And ...... this"

Ivan looked cold, and his left hand grabbed forward, taking the scroll into his hand in the air. With a slight shake of the cover, it was instantly shattered into slag, and the scroll automatically pulled horizontally to the right, revealing a map of the landscape of the Menes Empire.

On this map, the distribution of evoking monuments is marked with red dots, and they stretch from Canaan to Memphis, from Fayon to the Southern Desert, from the Balkal Mountains to the Kakhingsh Highlands—six straight lines that meet each other, and finally form a huge six-pointed star pattern.

The highest mountain in the Sinai Peninsula is the center of the six-pointed star pattern.

"Canaanite Plains, Memphis City, Balkal Mountains...... These are the starting points of large-scale demonic disasters!" Ivan instantly put away the scroll, looked at Xia Li with a solemn expression, and asked in a deep voice:

"What does this inexplicable six-pointed star pattern mean? Is there any record of it in the temple?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this six-pointed star pattern comes from a slave rebellion 2,900 years ago, when the slave leader claimed to be a prophet of the god of fire and thorns, and this is the mark left by the evil god. ”

Xia Li seemed to be fully prepared, and as soon as Evan asked, she answered in detail:

"It all started in the chaotic Hyksos era, when Canaan was still the territory of the Gordons, and these foolish monsters were outwardly close to the Menes, but with long snake-like hair. Females of Gordons have offspring with males of any race, and these offspring will only be Gorgons. As a result, these barbaric creatures were so fertile that the fertile Canaan region could not be supplied, and then the Great Famine was caused. ”

"They were famine at a time when the empire was under the reign of Amenhotep II, a benevolent but visionary king. He took in the snake-hairs who had fled the famine, placed them in the fertile Goshen region, and gave them preferential treatment.

The number of gorgons who first arrived in the empire was just over seven hundred. As a result, it took only a few decades for them to multiply to the point where they became overcrowded, taking over almost the entire Goshen region. And did not pay taxes, did not serve, did not obey the administration of the empire. Later, when His Majesty Lance II ascended the throne, he changed his attitude towards the snakeheads, requiring them to pay taxes, serve conscription, and submit to the ...... of the Empire."

According to Xia Li's statement, Evan gradually understood the tragedy that happened in that dark history:

First of all, at that time, the empire's sphere of influence had not yet reached the Canaan region, which was ruled by a barbarian tribe called the Serpents. The assimilation of this barbarian race is terrifying, and their females give birth to offspring with the males of any creature, and although they are pregnant for nine months, they tend to live in a litter, and spend most of their lives giving birth, so the rate of reproduction is frenzied.

If no one pays for such a frenzied reproduction, they will either export war to the outside world, or sit back and wait for the great famine. It's a pity that the snake is a scumbag of war, and no one can be scared, and then a great famine broke out as a matter of course. Many of the Orphia were starved to death in the process, but a small number of clans left the Canaan region and began to wander from place to place.

At the time of the famine, Menes happened to be in the reign of Amenhotep II, and the Sun King was more stupid than the Virgin, and thought the snake-haired people were quite pitiful, so he accepted the snake-haired people of a clan. At that time, the Gordon clan had a small population, just over 700 people, and was placed in the fertile Goshen region by Amenhotep II and given preferential treatment.

Later, the Madonna of the Sun King died, and Ahmoth I ascended the throne, discovering that the gordons of Goshen had grown into a cancerous tumor. The horrific rate of reproduction caused them to quickly take over the Goshen region, depriving the local Menes of land, and persecuting them in large numbers because of the fear that they would connect with the rest of the barbarians.

However, Ahmose I was also stupid, not knowing that the reproduction of the Gordons depended solely on females, and instead gave a very absurd order - if it was a male, kill it, and if it was a female, let it live.

So the more they were persecuted, the more they numbered, and the more they spread.

It was in this context that a snake-haired man named Mousa was born. After Muses was born, Mussa's parents saw that he was handsome, so they secretly hid it for three months, despite the Sun King's orders. Later, you can't hide it anymore, because the cub's crying is getting louder and louder, and it is easy to be noticed, and when the time comes, not only will the cub be thrown into the holy river and you will drown, but even the lives of the parents may not be guaranteed, and it will affect the neighbors.

In order to save his life, the mother took a box of cattails, smeared it with stone paint and oil, and put the cubs in it. He secretly left the box in the reeds of the river where the Sun King's daughter used to swim, and told the child's sister to keep watch from afar, so that she might know what the child's fate was.

At that time, no one dared to save the male cubs of the snake, because it would be against the royal order - unless the person was a member of the royal family!

It was then that Moses was discovered by the royal daughter, who had come to bathe, under the careful arrangement of his mother. Probably because it is relatively cute, or the princess is a Zhengtai control, even if she recognizes it as a snake-haired child, she still decides to adopt it as her own child.

Then Moses's sister stood up and said to the princess, "Shall I go and call a nurse among the serpents to nurse your child?" So the sister went and called Moses' mother, and Moses's mother became Moses's nurse until she grew up and became the daughter of the king of the sun, and she became the son of the king's daughter, and she called her name Moses, which means that she was drawn out of the water.

Because Mouses was nurtured by his mother since he was a child, he did not feel any gratitude to the royal daughter who saved him. After receiving the education and inheritance of the royal family, he became a member of the royal family with high quality and bad intentions.

One day, it came to visit its people and observe their living conditions.

Because the Sun King's edict to treat the minus at the time of Moses' birth was still not reversed, Moses saw a Menes bullying a Mines, and he was so angry that he killed the Menes and buried him secretly.

It thought no one knew about it, but the next day, when it tried to mediate a dispute between the two minorins, it learned that it had been revealed. And the two gorgons were hostile to him, and accused them of murderers, and said, "Who made thee our prince and judge?

Knowing that the truth had been revealed, and that although he was a member of the royal family, he could not escape the punishment for murder, and fled to Midian.

Soon after he came to Midian, he sat down at the well one day when he had finished shepherding the sheep and rested.

The seven daughters of the midianite priests came out to draw water and drink the sheep, and the other shepherds came and prepared to drive them away. When Mussalus saw the injustice, he intervened and helped the priest's daughter to drink the sheep. When the Midianite priests learned of this, they asked Moses to live with them and to give him one of their daughters as his wife. While Moses was in Midian, the priest's daughter bore him two children, who were also serpents.

......

After that, more than 40 years passed.

One day, while grazing on Mount Sinai, God appeared to Moses from the fire of the bush, and although the bush was burned by the fire, it was not burned. Perhaps the god was fascinated by the Serpent's ability to reproduce, or perhaps he was bewitched by Moses' invincible appearance, and promised him that if Moses served himself as his lord and spread his prestige, he would save the Serpents from slavery.

In the process, the god of fire and thorns gave him three miracles to prove his existence: Moses threw his staff on the ground, and the staff immediately turned into a serpent: Moses put his hand in his bosom and his hand became leprosy, and Moses poured out the water of the holy river on the ground, and the water turned into blood.

......

So, with a mission to deliver the serpents, Mosa came to Ramsey II (Ahmos I had already died of illness) and commanded in the name of God before the Sun King: "Let my people go, and keep a feast before me in the wilderness." ”

Perhaps people of faith are so confident that they forget who they are talking to. If it had made a request in the name of a snakehead, Lance II would probably have wished it had gone with these plague gods.

But it commanded in the name of God, and Lance II naturally rejected the request, claiming that he had never heard of the God of Moses. In the Menes worldview, the Sun King is the living god, and if he obeys the orders of the other party, wouldn't he be a self-degraded person!?

One can imagine the anger of King Ramsay, who not only refused Moses' request, but also increased the servitude of the serpents. Before, the grass used by the Serpents to make bricks was supplied by the Menes, but now they have to gather grass themselves, but the number of bricks cannot be reduced.

After Moses had been driven out of the royal court in disgrace, the serpents complained to him in anguish and anger: "You have made us infamous before the Sun King and his servants. ”

When Moses was complained, he turned to God and condemned him for not keeping his promises. God commanded Moses to come to the Sun King again, repeat the request to release the serpents, and declare that if the Sun King did not agree, he would be punished.

Musa, who had been instructed, re-entered the royal court and reiterated his demand for the release of the Serpents. Moses turned his staff into a serpent in order to frighten the Sun King. However, the warlocks around the Sun King also played this little trick, but his snake level was too low, and he was swallowed by the snake released by Mosa.

However, where could this trick get into the eyes of King Lansai, who still regarded Moses as a fart, and once again ordered someone to drive him out of the royal court.

After this, the god behind Moses fulfilled his promise to send many symbolic calamities to Menes:

The evil god struck the river with the rod of Moses and turned the holy river into a river of blood, in which the fish died, and the water of the river was so foul that the Menes could not drink the water of the river—the blood and the flood polluted the holy river, which was a sign of the god's superiority over the gods.

By the rod of Moses he stretched out his rod over the rivers and caused frogs to come up and cover the land of Menes, and into the royal court, and into the bed, and on the bodies of men, the frogs were the symbol of the god of fertility, and the evil gods caused the frogs to flood and destroy the faith of the god of fertility.

The evil god struck the dust on the ground with the rod of Moses, causing the dust to be turned into lice throughout Menes, which was unbearable to the Menes who were so clean that they bathed at least twice a day - Menes worshipped the earth as the mother of the gods, and the louse of the earth meant that the evil gods wanted Menes to know that the mother of the gods was also subject to it.

The evil god beckoned hordes of beetles into the Sun King's palace and the houses of his servants - the beetle was the symbol of the guardian god of the royal palace, and the evil god made the beetles spread all over the land, declaring his power above the king's power.

The evil god imposed a curse on the cattle in Menes' fields, and a plague broke out, and all the large animals almost died, except for the chocobos, which were both beasts and birds, and the plague was also a means for the evil gods to prove themselves: they had the power to destroy the empire's agriculture and starve all living beings, but the gods of Menes were powerless to resist.

The evil god commanded Moses to take handfuls of ashes and raise them into the sky, and the ashes were turned into dust throughout all Menes. Sticking to people and animals, it became a blistering sore—the evil gods were further attacking Menes' beliefs, demonstrating the powerlessness of the gods.

And the evil god commanded Moses to stretch out his rod to heaven, and thunder and hail fell, and fire flashed to the earth, and the hail was mixed with fire, and it was very severe, and there was no such plague in the land since the beginning of Menes—and the evil god told everyone that it had taken over the whole sky.

The evil god did as God commanded him to stretch out his rod to Menes, and the east wind blew on the ground, and brought the locusts and landed on all four borders of Menes. It was so great that the locusts covered the earth, and the earth was darkened, and they had eaten up all the vegetables and the fruit of the trees that were left after the hailstorm—the evil god sowed fear over the earth, and wanted the men of Menes to fear themselves more than the Sun King.

......

This combination of calamities made King Lancet's scalp tingle, and in order to avoid an even greater calamity, he had to compromise and allow the Snakeheads to leave Menes, but not to take their livestock with them. Because the Menes had devoured all their livestock and food by the evil gods, and letting them go with them would mean starvation everywhere in the empire.

But Moses insisted on taking the cattle because they wanted to sacrifice them to the gods, and in the face of this condition of leaving no one to live, King Ramse vetoed all of Moses's demands in a fit of rage - he felt that the other party was insincere, since you have the protection of the so-called true gods, let it be turned into food, why fight with the people of the empire for that little livestock.

In the midst of this struggle, the God of Moses unleashed the ninth plague, the plague of darkness.

The sun king himself was the light of the day, the bright sun was obscured by black shadows, and Menes was dark all over for three days. But this time, King Lansai's heart was as hard as iron, and he didn't mean to bow his head in the slightest. Because he finally found the seven holy artifacts that connected the Golden Palace, before Moses unleashed the tenth plague, he alone found each other and killed him on the summit of Mount Sinai.

Subsequently, the Snake Hair was also slaughtered by King Lansai's army, and all the roots were wiped out, and not a single mouth was left alive. Since then, the Canaan region has been incorporated into the empire, and the Snake Hair has become dust that has been rolled over by the wheel of history, and has disappeared without a trace.

One by one, one by one

In the land of the empire, the holy river was the main object of worship of the people, frogs, scarabs, rams, goats, and bulls among domestic animals, which they revered as sacred, and the sun was also the god they worshipped. Moses and his gods used terror to create the illusion of the defeat of the gods, trying to dismantle the faith of the Menes and make them believe that the god of fire and thorns was above the gods.

Fortunately, the conspiracy was finally foiled, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable, but the Moses had turned to ashes, where did the gods behind him go!? This is the question that Ivan has at this moment, and it is also the unanimous question in the minds of all the officials in the palace who have come into contact with this dark history.

"Since the Evoker Monument has formed a huge six-pointed star pattern, the six-pointed star mark is a symbol of the evil god. Does it mean that the evil god has been resurrected and is repeating the tragedy of two thousand nine hundred young people, and unleashing the eleventh catastrophe on the Empire?" asked Ivan in disbelief.

"All kinds of signs are on the surface, all this seems to be an inexplicable disaster, and it is likely that it is the handiwork of the evil god. Xia Li replied clearly.

"It's ridiculous...... However, if all this is really the work of that evil god. What is its purpose in doing this, is it avenging its elects?" Ivan couldn't help but tighten his brow.

"Your Majesty does not know that in the teachings of the evil god, there is a concept called Judgment Day: on the day of Judgment Day, God will break through the earth with the devil from hell, and those who are considered good by it will receive eternal life, and the wicked will be thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone by the devil to perish forever. As Xia Li spoke, she picked up another sealed scroll and quickly raised it above her head:

These are the exact words of Moses in the historical records. And the way of appearing out of the ground is too close to the way the Evoker Monument appears, and we can't help but believe it. ”

"Let me see. ”

Evan took the file with a solemn expression, opened it again in the air, carefully read the content recorded on it, and couldn't help but snort coldly. He held the two scrolls in his hand and clenched them tightly, and said in a cold voice:

“...... Those who believe are not guilty, but those who do not believe are sinful, and the whole text is intimidated and slandered! In this case, only the snake-haired people in the world are good, and all the people of the empire deserve to die?"

According to Moussa's logic, this is true. Xia Li replied calmly.

"Dig, let the capable continue to dig!" Ivan glared angrily, and slammed his fist on the handrail made of pure gold, shaking the space with a buzz: "Even if you dig to the other side of the world, you must find the origin of the Demon Summoning Monument!"

"Yes. After receiving the order, Xia Li sat back in her seat.

"Hoo ......"

Evan took a deep breath, leaned back on the back of the Sun Throne's chair, waited for his mind to calm down, and looked at the ministers at the table again:

"This matter is still inconclusive, you don't need to be in a hurry, even if it turns out in the future that it is really the evil god that the snake-born people believe in, I am here to stand up. If there is nothing to do, this is the end of today's discussion, Xia Li and I will go to the study, let's go down. ”

One by one, one by one

Royal Court, Study.

Evan sat in a high-backed chair behind his desk, holding the two scrolls that Charlie had given him, as if checking the contents of the scrolls. Xia Li and Eru Lomei stood beside him on the left and right, the former calm and proud, and the latter peeking at the contents of the scroll, looking very nervous.

"The place where Muses made a pact with the evil gods was Mount Sinai, and the final place of his burial was also Mount Sinai, and the center of the six-pointed star pattern was Mount Sinai...... I must go and see this place for myself!" Ivan picked up the distribution map of the Evoking Monument and handed it to Eru Romei, who was peeking at the side:

"Just watch it if you want to, it doesn't matter. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Eru Lomei replied very obediently, and then reached over the map and looked at it carefully.

"Brother Evan, this matter is my credit, shouldn't I be rewarded?" Xia Li stepped forward attentively, gently slapped him on the back, and said with a shy face.

"Yes, of course...... Let me think about what reward you're given? Hmm...... Why don't you say it yourself?"

"Then I'll tell you!"

"Say!"

"I want you to promise me not to marry me to anyone!" Xia Li said angrily with a tense face.

“......”

Evan smiled dumbly, knowing that she still hated herself for forcibly pulling the red line, and immediately promised: "I promise you, in the future, you can marry whoever you want, whether it is or not, it is okay to be single-handed, and I will never introduce you to someone again." ”
