156, Frog God Hequette
Link frowned and said: "The purpose is very clear, that is, I want to disturb Moses and them, the frog does not bite but can annoy people to death, until they are exhausted and finally can't hold on, sooner or later they will panic and be afraid, and they will not be able to go on." No one can endure endless torture, little by little to wear out courage and perseverance, and if they crumble, Seth will succeed. ”
Mei Danzo snorted and said: "This method is really ruthless, it is annoying to drive so many frogs out, so that I can't find an opponent if I want to do it, there are too many frogs, and I can't drive them away." ”
Link muttered, "If the frog god Hyquette doesn't show up, we don't have to show up, this is a test for Moses, and this difficulty must be overcome." As long as the delta of the Ronnie River is crossed to the dry zone, it is naturally impossible for Hequette to drive so many frogs, and at the current rate, I am afraid it will take several days. ”
Medanzo: "This test is faith and will, it depends on how strong their will is, and they can continue to walk in this environment." I found that David was a very good child, eating and sleeping very peacefully, and the calmer the mind, the less easily disturbed by this torment. ”
Link smiled, "The frog is helping you test people, are you going to guide that kid in the next few days?"
Medanzo smiled: "I haven't eaten frogs since I was a child, and when I came to your tribe, I learned that frogs can also be eaten, and they are so delicious, and now I am hungry again." ”
...... The panic and uneasiness gradually spread among the people, and the continuous torture made people begin to be in a trance, and some people were talking about this as a punishment from the gods of Eju, but where was their god Aroha? The twelve judges, despite all their efforts, could not completely drive away the ubiquitous swarm of frogs, which was a bit like the scene of Amon and Medanzo encountering scorpions in the desert.
Many people could not walk, and they said to Moses, "We are not complaining, most of them are strong, but they can't stand it and can't rest." Is this the punishment of the gods of Eju, why do you torture us like this, take us out of the jungle and the waterholes!"
Moses advised, "You can't leave the jungle yet, or you'll be discovered by your pursuers, and that's what the god of Eju wants to achieve." You're calling out to Aroha, but have you ever thought about what you should do? Don't stop, get out of the delta as soon as possible, the longer you stay here, the more you will suffer. Come to me, let me raise my cane to bless everyone, and wash away our tiredness and anxiety. ”
Moses led his people without stopping, and despite their exhaustion, they continued to follow the path guided by the gods. While camping that day, David was asleep in the midst of frog chirping, when suddenly a voice in his head said, "David, child of Duk Town, the messenger of the gods is calling you, please quietly come out of the tent and go to the noisiest place where the frogs are croaking, and no one will find you." ”
David's courage is really big, these days everyone feels panicked when they hear the frog crowing, but he dares to enter the dense forest where the frog crowing is the noisiest in the middle of the night, and the night watchmen are also tired, and they don't find David who quietly walked out of the tent. As David walked through the dense forest, the croaking of frogs around him suddenly fell silent, as if he had retreated far away, and then he saw a fire lit by a brook, and a man was sitting beside the fire.
The man was cloaked in a cloak and held in his hand a slender golden shuttle with a string of washed frogs, squeaky and oily roasted over the fire, and the other hand was sprinkling salt on it, and the air was filled with a tantalizing fragrance. David was taken aback and asked, "Who are you?"
Medanzo asked, "Tell me who you are and why you are here?"
David replied, "I am David Solomon, the warrior of Duk Town, and I have fulfilled my vow to return to my homeland under the guidance of our gods, and I have been summoned by the messenger of the god Aroh. ”
Medanzo stood up and said with a smile: "I am the messenger of the gods, these frogs have tormented you for so many days, do you dare to eat them?"
David knelt down and saluted, "As long as you eat, I will eat." ”
Medanzo tore a frog down, ate it in the shadow of the cloak, and then handed the golden shuttle in his hand to David: "Child, are you hungry?
David reached out and took down a roasted fragrant frog, gently bit down on a piece of meat and tasted it, and then filled the string of frogs into his stomach, eating it with relish. Medanzo looked at him with a smile and waited until he finished eating before asking, "Is it delicious?"
David nodded and said, "It's delicious, it's so delicious!"
Medanzo asked again, "Are you still afraid of them?"
David shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." O messenger of the gods, have you summoned me to treat me to this delicious meal, and to tell me not to be afraid of frogs?"
Medanzo smiled: "Yes, but I have other things, this is our little secret, you don't tell anyone else." ”
From this day on, Medanzo awakened the power for David, but he never showed his face, only saying that he was the messenger of the god Aroh. David asked him what kind of power it was, and Medanzo replied that it was the power of faith, and that people needed to practice it with firm faith.
David asked Medanzo what was the matter with the frogs, and Medanzo explained, "That's a messenger sent by the Evil God of Eju, trying to stop the people of Duke Town and shake your faith. ”
David pleaded, "O messenger of the gods, will you do anything to drive away those frogs?"
Medanzo shook his head and said, "Frogs live in this wetland, and you will meet them when you walk by, and this is the difficulty you have to overcome." If the messenger of the evil god intervenes directly, the messenger of the god will stop him, but you cannot expect nothing to give, but only think that the spirit will give everything. Including the power I taught you today, it is also given by the gods, but you can only cultivate by yourself. ”
...... The next day David returned to the camp, and his father ran to him and hugged him, saying, "Son, where have you gone? Everyone is worried! If I can't see you anymore, Master Moses will send someone to look for you." ”
David held up a branch in his hand with a bunch of washed and peeled frogs stuck in it and said, "I'll go get some food, put them on the fire and roast them and sprinkle some salt, they taste really good." ”
The surrounding clansmen said in horror: "David, how can you eat such things? They are sent by the devil to torture us, you are careful that you will be poisoned!"
David smiled: "I ate it last night, it's delicious, what are you afraid of?"
Moses came over, touched David's head and said, "You are very brave and have done a good job, if people don't want to eat, you can eat it yourself." ”
After another five days of walking, the group finally left the edge of the wetlands of the Ronnie River Delta, and the undulating dry hills with long grass and shrubs in front of them finally died down. Link and Medanzo stood in the treetops and watched Moses and the others walk into a place where there were no frogs, and suddenly felt a powerful force emerging behind them, Link whispered: "Hequette has appeared, just in the jungle, do you want to shoot directly?"
Medanzo pulled out the key of fate out of thin air, put on a scorpion shell armor with a wave of his hand, turned around and said with a cold face: "My hands are also itchy, and I have been impatient to wait for a long time!"
Link also turned around and quietly reminded, "Be careful, this Hequett's stealth magic is better than ours, and he hasn't found his hiding location for so many days." ”
Medanzo sneered: "Of course, there are frogs everywhere, and he can completely hide his aura. I suspect he's a mutant frog demon, just like Yunmeng, who was born to sneak in the environment where he grows. If Yunmeng hides in the swamp to hide his breath, it will be difficult for us to find it. But if he wanted to do it, it would be a different story. ”
As he spoke, he saw countless droplets of water floating up in the open space between the trees, floating into the air from the leaves, in the pool, and in the nearby streams, and drops of transparent pearls reflected brilliant light in the sun.
This man was wearing a green robe, covered with dark brown stripes, his eyes were a little round and a little bulging, but his appearance was quite handsome, but there were also a few brownish green stripes on his cheeks and forehead, like a pattern painted with oil paint, reflecting a faint floating luster, which looked strange and mysterious.
As soon as this person appeared, those floating water droplets began to glow, gradually elongating in the air, turning into transparent arrows, and countless dense water arrows were ready to fire, all pointing at Medanzo and Link. Medanzo pointed the key of fate at the man and asked, "Hequet?"
The visitor was slightly stunned: "So you know me, since you know me, why don't you put down your arms and salute?"
Medanzo squinted his eyes and said, "Why? Lord Frog Angel, it's always been you who has been making trouble these days, why do you think we will lay down our arms and salute you? To be honest, we don't know you, and we don't want to know you, but we just saw those frogs thinking of you. ”
Hequette also narrowed his eyes, and his pupils were also greenish-brown, like a vertical slit on his eyeball: "You are really not ordinary mortals, you are not panicked when you see the legendary Haquette, and you dare to speak like this?"
Medanzo shrugged his shoulders: "I have also seen those so-called gods who are truly transcendent from eternal life, but they are not my gods, let alone you, who are you instructed to come here for, and what are you bothering that group of suffering people?"
Hequet's figure was submerged in a transparent water arrow, the arrow in the sky was full of power but never sent out, he looked at Medanzo and then at Link, and shouted with a slight surprise: "Are you disciples of the Scorpion King Surabaya? But this is Eju, and I am the messenger of Seth, the king of angels, and you dare to stop me?"
Link didn't speak, but he wasn't idle either. At the same time as the water droplets in the forest turned into arrows, a bow floated out in front of him, and the bowstring opened and turned into a series of phantoms, turning into many strings, and the bow looked like a harp. Dozens of arrows flew out, densely alternating on the bowstring, which were arrows made from the tail needle of the mutant giant scorpion. He and Medanzo were still wearing scorpion shell armor, so it was no wonder that Hequet misunderstood.
Medanzo shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with you whose messenger we are, and whose messenger you are has nothing to do with us. Those poor people are not at fault, and they have never offended you, so why torture them?"
Hequet obviously misunderstood Medanzo's words as acquiescence, and showed a contemptuous look: "Scorpion King Surabaya himself is not qualified to join the Anuna Enlightenment God Department, and it is even more impossible for you to follow him to have any hope." Don't you think it's ridiculous that a demigod who has been exiled in the desert and has no god system to rely on, but has sent an envoy here to fight against me? I see that the two of you still have some achievements, lay down their weapons and swear to follow me, I can consider introducing you to the Angel King Seth, and maybe there is a chance to join the Nine Divine Systems. Please kneel down and thank you!"
The background of his words is very complicated, thinking that when the war of the gods broke out in the Anunnaqi god system, Amat and Jingut were the defeated side, and Enriel and Mardok were the victorious side. Legend has it that Amat created nine kinds of monsters in the war, including the hydra snake Humbaba, the human-faced poisonous scorpion Surabaya, and the giant lion and human cloud. Naturally, these nine monsters were also defeated, some were killed, some were subdued, and some were exiled.
These monsters are very powerful, and after Enriel and the others have achieved victory, they don't want to spend a huge price to kill them all, it is best to use them for their own use, or let them swear that they will not be enemies again, so they don't have to fight hard. Humbaba was subdued by Enriel and became the gatekeeper of the Divine Domain, which can be regarded as joining the Anuna Enlightenment Divine Department.
Forced to promise not to be an enemy of Enriel and the others, but also not to submit to them, Surabaya was exiled to the desert and disqualified from being introduced into the Anuna Enlightenment Sect, while he himself claimed the title of Scorpion King. After the end of the Great War, both Maldouk and Enriel took a fancy to him and allowed him to join the Anunnaqi Divine Department. But Renyun fell in love with the goddess Mu Yun, and as a result, due to the well-known curse, he finally left sadly and became the wandering lion king.
Surabaya is powerful, but he belongs to the exiled demigods, and he is neither a transcendent deity nor a god who is not led by the gods, and in the eyes of the official gods, his messenger is of course the wrong person. Hequet opened his mouth and gave Medanzo and Link a chance to lay down their weapons and swear to follow him, and he could introduce them to Seth, and maybe be introduced to the Nine Gods.
It could have been a great temptation for others to hear, but when Hequette said this to Link and Medanzo, he was playing the harp to a cow. These two people didn't even understand what he meant, let alone them, and even the "God Amun" they believed in probably didn't understand why they had to be led by the gods.
