Event: Hado discovers the Ark of the Covenant in Sinai, but is unable to resolve the abstract prohibitions attached to the Ark of the Covenant due to his ability to plunder. According to the instructions of the Ark of the Covenant, "God is where the Ark of the Covenant is, and only the Levites are allowed to carry the Ark to the Holy City because of the need for the Divine Manifestations." According to the legend of nearby residents, Bethlehem, south of Jerusalem, once emitted a very dazzling golden light. Hadu prepared to go to Jerusalem to find the resources to unlock his plundering powers, and ordered his guards to carry the Ark of the Covenant back to "Pharao".

When Hado returned from Europa, he passed near the small settlement he had helped with elk and lightning, and saw that a large urban agglomeration had been established there, but the river had piled up more sediment downstream than it had been, and the riverbed had been raised to a dangerous height. If this continues, the river will end up clogged with silt, and the cities of ancient Rome, where the river originated, will eventually be abandoned by history.

While diverting from Ephesus to Crete, Hadu was attacked by Zikon's descendants, who were lying in ambush on the eastern shore of Crete, and after trying to eliminate as many enemies as he could and catch up with the sailing ships offshore, Hadu found that his plundering abilities were once again blocked. These nasty Zikern clans seem to have a grudge against the predators, and Hadu has fought with them many times in Europa, but fortunately, his level of use of predatory abilities has always been so strong, and he has not really been hurt by the other party in these few battles. Moreover, he has discovered a new way of defining predation: he calls it a "controlled definition", which means that within a 10-step radius, the object in question does not have a predatory effect, and only manifests itself after the object leaves Hado's side. For example, Hadu flicked a few flying blades out and defined them as "plundering these blades, and after leaving the 10-step range, 'will stop flying and fall to the ground'", and then plundering the blades "'will not automatically fly to the heart of the enemy'".

With these powerful understandings of definition, Hado can be said to be sideways and unstoppable on the continent of Europa, but he is still very low-key, after all, he knows that there are many predators hiding in the shadows waiting for him to anger the old men of the Roman Senate, and then when the army comes to encircle him, he can get all kinds of benefits from him.

Hado has found that with the development of the times, the individual predators are becoming less and less popular, and because their abilities are different from and beyond ordinary people, they will inevitably be incompatible with the world. In some civilizations in Eastern and Northern Europe, the predators are the equivalent of the messengers of the gods, relying on mystery and ignorance to maintain the strength and invincibility of the "wealth plundering" ability. But Hado knows that God does not exist, what exists is the definition of what people want and want, and when people can't get their own pursuits, they will hope for an ethereal creation to comfort their empty hearts.

He also wanted to follow the "Koman'ne" system, plunder these inhabitants of the Europa continent, and then establish a new atheistic country, but the problem is: whether it is language, writing, living environment, living habits, or education popularity, Europa cannot be compared with "Koman'ne". If the country is only built by plundering loyalty, then in fact, the overall level of this new kingdom should be brought to the heyday of tribal history, and Hadu thinks it will be difficult to do it in a hundred years. Not to mention, hundreds of years ago, there was an undercurrent of theological restoration in "Koman'ne", and of course, it was mainly Jews, Greeks and Arabs who fled to East Africa, which brought with it some religious propaganda. And during that time, Hado had been traveling in Europa, and there was no way to go back to control. Fortunately, the Koman'ne tribe resisted the temptation of the divine light and expelled all the refugees from the East African territory.

From Crete to Alexandria, Hado was planning to make a trip to the Sinai Peninsula first, and when he followed Jewish immigrants nearly 1,300 years ago, he turned to Europa, and the Sinai Peninsula glowed with a very violent light. He hadn't had time to investigate, and this time he needed to make a trip back to "Koman'ne" to find something he had "forgotten" about. Since you are on the way, it is a matter of walking a few more steps to the Sinai Peninsula. However, the Sinai Peninsula is very difficult to navigate: except for the north and south corners, the rest of the island is either a long mountain group or a poor desert, and a large area is devoid of grass, and even water sources are extremely difficult to find.

When Hado came from Alexandria, he heard the Jews reciting the legend of Moses, the young man of the day, who led the Jews across the sea of blood to the Sinai Peninsula. One of the rumors is that Moses struck a stone with his staff, and a spring of water flowed for the Jews, whose throats were smoking. When Hadu heard this, he already roughly understood Moses' ability to plunder: the other party should be able to plunder the emergency needs of other people and concretize the desires in these people's minds, but he himself could not control these concrete things, which led to the ridiculous scene of "manna" falling from heaven at that time.

As for why it is called "ark", it may be that the Jews at that time had not yet invented this kind of utensils that stood on four feet and the box itself did not touch the ground. Hadu did not have much interest in the Ten Commandments, and instead, this so-called Ark of the Covenant caught his attention. It is said that Solomon, the third king of the kingdom of Israel, enshrined the Ark of the Covenant in the inner sanctum of the Temple in Jerusalem, but suddenly disappeared 600 years ago, and there are many theories about its whereabouts, some say that Yahweh (Hado's thought it was Moses' voice while drinking water) took the Ark back as punishment for mankind, others believe that the enemies of the Jews stole it, and others believe that it was returned to its "original place."

Of course, Hadu disagreed with the first view, as he did not believe in the existence of gods at all, while the second view was even more skeptical: according to the Jewish scriptures, those who were not Levitical priests were not allowed to carry the ark of the covenant, otherwise they would be punished by God and die. Then the enemies of the Jews would not be unaware of this, and if there was an additional power attached to the power of plunder in the Ark of the Covenant, it would not be surprising that such a thing would happen, unless... Those so-called enemies kidnapped a couple of Levites to carry the Ark of the Covenant, well. But the Levites lived near the temple, which is obviously unlikely.

Then it is most likely that there is only one third view: the Ark of the Covenant returned to Mount Moses.

This is why Hado went to Sinai, and it should be noted that the Jews were not in a comfortable situation at the moment, they were so uncomfortable under the Romans that they could not have enough troops to defend Mount Moses, so the road to the mountains should be unimpeded. What Hadu hates the most is all kinds of trouble, especially now that his plundering ability is temporarily disabled, and his ability to protect himself is only his strength and extraordinary physical fitness.

And when he came to the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, he felt very strange: the pharaoh had found gold here, but now... The gold mine was actually occupied by the guards of "Koman'ne". After some contact and inquiry, Hado realized that after the East African territory was forcibly occupied by refugees, he could not obtain food from that territory for a long time, which led to a shortage of food near the "Falie". In the process of driving out the refugees, the angry refugees burned large tracts of farmland and all the wheat seeds needed to be replanted, but could not solve the food shortages that had been caused. Later, the guards discovered that Roman merchants were willing to sell grain and collect a certain amount of gold when they demanded it, and after many inquiries, the guards seized the gold mines in the Sinai Peninsula in order to obtain a sufficient amount of gold.

Hadu asked about the vision of Mount Moses, and the guards shook their heads: Don't talk about the divine light, even the Jews have not come back to see this place in the past few years. Now that the Jews are living so miserably, that even their own religion is about to be wiped out, how can there be any empty control of the holy mountain?

After not resting long, Hado walked up the mountain, and as he walked, he realized that something was wrong: no matter how he walked, there was no way to get halfway up the mountain to the top. After experimenting several times, he felt that he was in some kind of prohibition, and he went up, and the prohibition would pull him back to his place. It may be a miracle for ordinary people to say that this blocking method can make the only climbing path in front of it impassable, but it is really simple for Hado: he can go up from the back of the mountain.

Indeed, after a few attempts, Hadu went around to the back of Mount Moses, made a few jumps to the top of the mountain, and then slowly slid down from the top of the mountain. There is a cave at the top of the mountain, and there are a lot of manual excavation marks nearby, but the chisel marks are not any of the tools that Hado has ever seen, so it is likely that Moses used his plundering power to create them. The cave is not deep, but it is protected from light, there is no dust on the ground, and there are no scratches that no one has cleaned. After Hadu entered the cave, he found a corpse in the deepest part of the cave, charred and blackened, which should have been bombarded by high-energy lightning, but judging from its size, it should be an underage child. A distinctive feature of the corpse was that his hands were pierced, apparently the center of the lightning strike. If it is a Jewish legend, then the body of this young man should be "Uzzah with the Ark of the Covenant in his hand", and the so-called "anger of God and being killed."

In Hado's view, it was the protective power of the Ark of the Covenant that came into play, and from the stories he had heard, he was able to at least draw on the following ways of using his predatory powers:

1. Definition: "If the bearer of the Ark of the Covenant is not of Levitical descent, he shall be robbed of the immunity of lightning strikes when his hand touches the Ark." ”

2. Definition: "If the sacrifice is made of any animal other than cows, sheep, turtledoves, or chicks, the sacrifice shall be robbed of the immunity of lightning strikes when he approaches the ark of the covenant." ”

3. Definition: "If the person who approaches the Ark of the Covenant is not a man, he is to be robbed of his immunity from lightning strikes." ”

It can be said that this ability of Moses is mainly reflected in the "borrowing and plundering", that is, even in Moses' absence, the Ark of the Covenant can also produce feedback on the things around it, as long as it meets its definition of plunder, then the lightning will suddenly strike - ordinary people cannot tell whether the lightning is from the sky or the Ark itself, even if it wants to show the punishment of the so-called "Yahweh", then add the phrase "lightning from heaven". If this is the case, the Ark of the Covenant is very simple: as long as it does not touch the Ark directly, for example, it was a good idea to transport the Ark of the Covenant in ox carts throughout history.

Next to the young man's corpse, there was a stone slab that had been lifted up, and Hadu took out a tendon with a strong tendon, embedded it in one side of the slate, and then pulled down the middle of the slate, and with a single force, the slate was lifted aside: under the slate was the golden ark of the covenant - but Hadu had no interest in the metal cabinet itself, and according to his analysis, he would never have touched the ark with his body, but how to get this big cabinet out of the stone. ？

The Ark of the Covenant was recessed in the stone, and the wooden lostards on both sides were firmly stuck in the cracks in the stone, except for the tip of the Ark which protruded slightly and could be held by hand. If you are an ordinary person, you must find something special to insulate to prevent it from being electrocuted (the use of asbestos has not been discovered in this era), and in the case of Hado, I saw him lift one foot and stomp on the rock formation next to the ark of the covenant with great force, and directly stomped the stone apart. After a few more blows, the rocks beside the ark shattered, and Hadu easily grabbed the wooden pole and lifted the large ark out.

Seeing that the Ark of the Covenant was supposed to be "indestructible", Ehadu threw it on the ground with such vigor and did not show any damage. For Hado, the great chest was of no religious use: he did not want to control a crowd of rustic Jews, and for him the greatest use of the Ark of the Covenant was its collectible value, which was made entirely of gold and inlaid with silver, brass, agate stone, linen, ramskins, and goatskins. Naturally, Hadu lifted the large cabinet out of the cave, threw it down Mount Moses, and then slowed down from a cliff in front of the mountain to the foot of the mountain with iron spikes. After retrieving the Ark of the Covenant, he instructed his guards to transport the Ark to the cave of Faret with animals, and never to touch the large cabinet with his body, let alone play cards on it (Hadu and the invention of the wooden chip card in the 4th century BC).

Having found this nice souvenir, Hado prepared to make a diversion to Jerusalem to see if he could find a descendant of Moses there—the other person was supposed to live in the temple and must have had a predatory heritage: didn't you see that the Jews had resisted the massacre of the Romans twice, and had successfully resisted both times? This is obviously the protection of those who have the ability to plunder, otherwise how can it be so easy to stop the pace of the Roman elite soldiers.

It's just that now it is not a simple matter to go from Sinai to Jerusalem: Hado's plundering ability is blocked, and it is very difficult to find a safe route through the mixed settlements of refugees from Rome, Egypt, Judea, Arabia, Cyprus, Asia, Macedonia, Athens, Ephesus, Africa and other places.

But if the lockdown can't be lifted, it will be even more troublesome for Hado: he only has 32 years left to live, and the size of the world seems to be relatively sparse for the predators, and most of these people are in hiding from the world, and it is very difficult to find them. On the contrary, the descendants of the Levites are relatively easy to find, and as long as Jerusalem, the holy city of Judea, remains, the hope of lifting the seal will not be dashed.

However, when Hadu really faced difficulties, he found that he still thought simple: in the next new moon, the Roman Arab governor Kantis sent troops to surround Jerusalem, prohibiting any caravans from entering or leaving, and at the same time blocking Hado's route into the city. The situation in and around Jerusalem was so tense that it was impossible to sneak through the walls, which were still brightly lit at night. But there is a way to sneak in, and the same thing that ordinary people can't do: swim into the Jerusalem underground waters.

Entering from the Pool of Siloam, a distance of 3,500 paces, one can enter from the aqueduct of Hezekiah to the Pool of Gihon, in the outer city of Jerusalem. The waterway was built 700 years ago by the ruler King Hezekiah during the Assyrian invasion to ensure the city's water supply. However, this channel is easy to swim in, but it is troublesome to swim out: the water is a man high, and there is only one place for ventilation in the Warren shaft, and the distance 2,500 paces further must be held in the total darkness of the water.

Hadu couldn't do much more, only to see him run out of the night in a disjointed black shadow, and with a loud roar he burrowed into the bottom of the pool of Siloam, and even the nearby guards did not react.

As the minutes ticked by, the moon rose from the trees to the treetops, but Hadu had not yet been seen near the Gihon Spring.

Eventually, hearing only a slight but rapid gasp, Hadu leaned against the moon shadow of the Gihon Water Tower and floated from the bottom of the water, his face full of indescribable exhaustion.
