157, playing a magic stick

Link finally spoke: "We are not against you, but you are against us. We have a deity of our own faith, he is unique, please do not say these blasphemous words in front of me. If you want to do it, then do it. ”

Hequette looked at the Key of Destiny in Medanzo's hand, and then at Link's strange bow. Needless to say, the key of destiny is powerful, it was once the sword of Enqidu, but now it has turned into a golden shuttle that the craftsmen of the world cannot build. And Link's bow was used by Amon, and later Amon had Gilgamesh's bow, so he gave this famous war bow to Link, and Link spent another half a year refining it to make it even more magical.

If you really do it, whether you can defeat it or not, the price will definitely be not small. Hequet blinked his eyes and suddenly smiled: "Two envoys, you are not my opponent, but I don't want to be a direct enemy of you. You have followed Surabaya to where you are today, and you should also be aware of the covenant between the gods. We can also make a pact that I will fulfill my mission and you will fulfill your own mission. ”

Medanzo sighed and asked, "What agreement?"

"Those people are not guilty of their own crimes, but they want to flee from Eju, and Seth, the king of angels, has decided to punish them. And for themselves, it is also a necessary tribulation and test. I will not harm them directly, but I will create all kinds of obstacles according to the orders of the King of Angels, and you will use your skills to resolve them. ”

Medanzo glanced at Link with an inquiring eye, and Link nodded and replied, "Okay, let's see what each other does." ”

Hequet smiled again: "Good luck to you, the temper of the Scorpion King Surabaya is not too good, if you can't complete the mission, your fate may be worse than those miners." If you regret it, you can come to me, and kindly remind me that the King of Angels, Seth, has not only sent me as a messenger, but in fact, my mission has been completed, and there are others ahead. ”

After speaking, countless water arrows turned into water droplets, emitting colorful light in the sun, and countless intertwined lights covered Hequet's figure, and then the water droplets fell down and the forest returned to calm, Hequette was gone, and the powerful aura was gone.

Medanzo looked at the place where he disappeared, and snorted: "It turns out that his mission has been completed, but he deliberately appeared to scare us, and said so much nonsense, he actually wanted to accept disciples, but he took a fancy to the two of us." ”

Link sneered: "This person didn't even understand the situation, thinking that we were sent by the Scorpion King Surabaya, no matter whose messenger we were, if we betrayed the mission because of his words, how could we achieve higher achievements?"

Medanzo looked at the sky: "He just wants to accept two powerful subordinates for his own drive, as for being able to join the Nine Divine Sect and the like, it is a tempting condition." It's just that I didn't understand what he said, as if he was playing tricks. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, maybe it's not something we can understand, God Amun will tell us sooner or later." Heyquet said that there was an envoy sent by Seth asking for trouble, and he wondered what kind of goods it would be?"

Medanzo shook the key of fate: "Whatever, the road is at the feet of Moses, let's see." ”

...... Moses and the others finally got rid of the frogs, and entered the hilly area between the coastline and the main city of Tanis, the terrain was undulating, with lush thorns and trees more than two people high, and the sturdy miners drew their machetes to open the way, and the speed of walking was not too fast, but they could finally sleep peacefully.

After another five or six days of walking, many people's clothes were torn by thorns, so they simply repaired them and continued on their way. The trees are not high, the mountains are not steep, but they are dense and there is no end in sight. That night, David heard Medanzo's call again and crept into a valley to meet him. Medanzo had awakened the power for the child and had been teaching him all sorts of magical "magic".

On this day, when David closed his eyes and listened to Mei Danzuo teach the secrets with the information magic technique, he couldn't sit still, not because his mind was not firm enough, but because his body was always troubled. His test has arrived, and it is the "purity of the body", and only after experiencing this test can he master the second-level achievement. In this process, all kinds of hidden dangers and injuries in the body will occur, and of course people will be very uncomfortable, but they must persist in cultivation with a persistent attitude in order to get through.

Medanzo was relieved that David Solomon was very qualified, very intelligent, and had a quick grasp of power. Medanzo didn't notice anything unusual at first, just comforting the child to overcome all kinds of discomfort, but today he suddenly felt that something was wrong, because David couldn't help but scratch his body with his hand. He said, "Child, untie your clothes and let me take a closer look." ”

David unbuttoned his clothes, and Medanzo was slightly taken aback and said, "What's the matter with these little red dots?"

David explained with some embarrassment: "There are a lot of mosquitoes, fleas and all kinds of small insects in the mountains, and if I don't pay attention when I walk and sleep, I will be bitten. ”

After David left, Medanzo approached Link and said, "There is a new situation, and someone has driven the fleas and mosquitoes in the camp to bite Moses. There are already a lot of fleas in the mountains, and it's normal to be bitten a few times without paying attention, but there are too many red spots on David's body, and it is obvious that someone is making trouble. ”

Link snorted and said, "It's so shady! We didn't even notice." Moses was strong and tired, and they didn't feel much of a bite when they were bitten. But these little bugs may spread the plague, and it will be too late for them to react!"

Medanzo nodded, "We need to go and reconnoitre, to see if there are more fleas and mosquitoes in the area around Moses' camp than in other places?"

The two quietly searched in the mountains and wilderness, and found that the number of mosquitoes and fleas in the place where Moses and the others camped was dozens of times more than in other places. These small insects, which are very common in the mountains, hide under the leaves, in the grass, and in the dirt, and if you don't deliberately detect them, they can't be noticed at all.

Link said: "It may be that other messengers sent by Seth did it, or it may be that it was Hequett! That frog demon is not clear about other methods, but there should be a set of ways to drive all kinds of insects, and mosquitoes are not the food of frogs?"

Mei Danzuo frowned and said: "The strength I have cultivated is better at fighting, and the divine skills such as blessing healing are not as good as yours, it seems that you have to contribute more this time." ”

...... Later that night, Moses, who was sitting and meditating, heard the voice of the oracle. Link told him, "The evil gods of Eju have sent messengers to punish you, using conspiracy to succumb to innumerable mosquitoes and fleas until you are infected with the plague. From today onwards, when camping, you will use magic to clean up all the surrounding places, and take turns to perform healing magic for everyone to prevent problems before they occur. ”

Moses replied, "Thank you, Lord God, for reminding me! I also feel that there are a lot of insects these days, and although I am not afraid, many of my people have been bitten very much." But if I use the healing magic, my mana may be limited, and I am afraid that I will not be able to completely prevent the plague from happening. ”

Link added, "It's just the beginning, I want you to be prepared for what happens." The disciples of the god Aroha have always been stingy in the use of mana, and even accustomed to it. Just be careful not to run out of power, and I'll help you in the dark. There is also a kind of grass in this mountain field, I will tell you what it looks like, you sent people to pick it, and ordered the twelve judges to dry it with fire elemental magic, and after igniting it, it can drive away mosquitoes, and let the people on night arrange the hay in a circle and burn it around the camp every day when camping. ”

Link was born as the patriarch of the caveman savages, and since he was a child, he knew that there were several kinds of grass in the mountains that could smoke away mosquitoes after drying, and happened to find one here, and told Moses to send his people to collect it. From this day on, whenever Moses rested, he ordered six judges to take turns to form a magic circle, and he himself presided over the circle with an iron staff, so that the people gathered around and bathed in the light that fell in the air.

Whenever Moses cast a spell, there was always a mist wafting in, making the light of the staff more soft and rich, and it was Link who secretly helped.

The messenger of the gods guided the people of Duke Town to get rid of the inconspicuous fleas and mosquitoes, but the wise man was still a little careless, and Medanzo and the others were a little late when they realized that the situation was wrong. Although Moses and the others did not fall ill, the cows, horses, and donkeys they carried fell ill one after another, and died one by one.

There were no livestock to carry supplies, so the tribesmen had to carry everything on their backs. Fortunately, half of the food they carried along the way had been consumed, and they could barely carry it all, but they lost the meat they could slaughter at any time and carried heavier things on their backs, making it even more difficult to walk.

On this day they walked out of the dense forest to an open valley with a lake in front of them, and soft shallow grass grew on the shores of the lake. After the long journey, when everyone was tired, they took off their burdens and lay down on the soft grass to rest, and Moses also saw that the physical exertion of the people was great, and told Joshua to let them eat more today, soak the dough in the soup until soft, and take out the dried meat that had been marinated in the package and cut it into slices and roasted it on the stone.

The aroma of food fills the shore of the lake, and everyone rarely smiles with a relaxed smile, which has not been such a comfortable feeling for a long time. But Moses frowned suddenly, and he heard a buzzing sound, and it turned out to be a few flies flying out of the woods, and then more and more flies fell on the half-cooked cured meat that was roasting on the hot stones, and then someone shouted, "What stinks!"

The aroma of the cured meat on the stones turned to a rancid and unpleasant smell, and I watched them rot. The smell of rancidity emanated from everyone, and everyone opened the package to find that all the food inside was rotten, even the dry bread and salted meat. These foods have been specially processed to preserve them for a long time, even if they are not [***] for a year, so why are they all spoiled in the blink of an eye?

Divine punishment, this is the punishment of the gods! Without food, they could not get out of Eju, and if they did not want to starve to death in the mountains, they could only go to the city-state and surrender themselves.

Standing in the dense forest in the distance, Medanzo said with a blue face: "They actually used this method! Although they didn't directly attack the miners, is there a difference?"

Link also said: "In this case, we can also intervene directly, but fortunately Amun God has been prepared for a long time, so let Moses perform miracles." ”

Moses, who had always been calm, was also a little shocked at this time, the power of the evil god of Eju was so strong that he could unknowingly let the people carry all the food [***]. The people who had gone through the hardships and did not give up finally felt hopeless at this time, and looked at each other's eyes and sat on the grass in frustration. Moses was about to stand up when he heard Link's voice: "The messenger of the evil gods has done this, and you will use the means that the gods have prepared to give them true faith and show our miracles!"

Moses raised his staff and said in a loud voice: "Do not be discouraged, people, the evil god who has taken away our food smells like the [***] food! The true god protects us and will perform his miracles, all the people who are devout believers in Aroha, gather around me and receive the food that the gods give." ”

When the people gathered, Moses stretched out his hand and took out a piece of meat floss and a piece of bread out of thin air, and said to his people, "This is food given to us by the gods, and it is delicious like never before!"

Someone exclaimed in disappointment, "That's it, it's not enough for one person to eat!"

Moses smiled and said, "The gods will not let us down, go and make soup on the fire, and our gods will perform miracles." ”

After the pot of soup was cooked, Moses put the secret delicious meat floss in the soup, broke the dough and threw it in, and quietly used the space magic to protect the pot. The tempting fragrance permeated the grass, and the tribesmen couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and Moses said to David: "The youngest eats first, David serves the soup first, don't look at others, the gods let you come first." ”

David carried a plate full of fragrant broth instant pastries, but the broth in the pot was not missing at all. One by one, they went to Moses to receive food, until everyone was full, and Moses had a pot full of soup in front of him. Finally Moses ate the pot of soup himself, then went to the lake to wash his hands and utensils, and said to his people: "Follow me and pray and thank our God, who has given us food, and for the faith and courage to overcome all difficulties." ”

The crowd gathered around Moses and prayed to Aroh, the only god in their hearts. Medanzo and Link stood in the distance and smiled at each other, the miracle had already been prepared, and the bread and meat floss had been stored in the Wind Dance in the Iron Branch.

Amun had instructed Moses not to use the contents of the Wind Dance for the purpose of crossing the desert, but it came in handy in advance, reinvigorating the people in despair and completely strengthening their faith in the guidance of the gods. Although there is still a long way to go, they will not look back.
