Chapter 172: The Earth Opens Its Mouth
"Although Nimrod obeyed me in everything, even in the matter of destroying the head of the bride of the god Moloch, it still went very smoothly, because the whole thing involved the foundation of faith and spiritual sustenance of the people of Gush. ”
"Excuse me," said Sether, who suddenly raised his hand as if Isis could see him, "why would you want to destroy the altar of the Moro bride of the Nimrod family? ”
"Why do you ask me?" Isis smiled amoryly, "Can't you guess? I'm in love with Nimroth, so I don't want him to fall under the curse of my ancestors." ”
"Is it just because you're in love with Nimrod?" said Sether slowly, more like to himself, "isn't it because you have decided to follow the Eternal King and become His own people?
"Yes," Isis looked at Sether in surprise, "what's so strange about that?"
"From your current situation, it is clear that you have repented and acted on your part, but you have betrayed the Eternal King once again," Sether said in a heavy tone, whispering with unprecedented pity and chagrin, as if it had happened to his loved ones, "and why?"
Isis bit her lip and didn't speak, but there was a soft pimple in her throat.
"Go on, starting with your plan to destroy the altar of the Moro bride with Nimrod. Sether had a grim expression.
"Ever since the twin spirits were relocated by the woollen robe of the white-clad Sage Uriel—" Isis paused suddenly, "Sether, do you know what 'moving back' is?" qq
"Obviously, the twin spirits were burned by the light from the Heavenly Wool Robes, but it didn't hurt the roots, it just made it impossible for them to continue to do evil on Ninglu, so you 'moved back,'" Sether said, "I think that means being sent back to Hell." ”
"It seems that nothing can be hidden from you, a Viakay man," Isis chuckled strangely, then continued with a sinking face, "Yes, you're right, it's sent back to Hell. However, although the twin spirits have returned to their lair in Hell, the skull altar of the Bride of Namoro is still there. As long as the altar is not smashed for a day, it is possible that they will sneak back to Ningroh's home again and continue to unleash their sorcery on their entire family, casting a cloud of death and curse over the heads of everyone in their family. Therefore, it was imperative that the altar be destroyed completely. ”
"The whole thing, except for Ning Lu, no one agrees. It is no wonder that the Cushites have been ruled by the Moloch demons for hundreds of years, and this curse and imprisonment has been deeply rooted. If it weren't for the fact that Ning Lu loved me so much, he would never have been willing to agree to my approach. As the leader of the Cushites, he first set an example by breaking his family's altar to the bride of Moloch, and at the same time had his sun guard go from house to house searching for the rest of the bride's altar and bringing it to the outside of the Kidron Creek to break them all and grind them to ashes, so that the ashes could flow away with the living stream. ”
"Nimrod's actions caused great panic among the Cushites, and at first several of the elders of the tribes openly objected to the destruction of the bride's altar, and they tore their clothes, wore their heads, and pointed at me and shouted at me that I was a shameful prostitute and a treacherous bitch—haha, they were right, but they were wrong then," Isis bit the words 'at that time,' and she laughed exaggeratedly and forcefully," and rebuked Nimrod, 'Who made you the leader of the Cushites?' Who made you different from birth? Who made your slave-born mother marry the king of the Ethiopians and give birth to you? Are you not afraid of the punishment of the god Moloch when you listen to the words of this unknown slut and commit such a terrible act of betrayal?"
"Nimrod said, 'All that I have is not from the god Moloch, but from a God who created the heavens and the earth, and this is the only true God, and there is no other god besides Him.' This one and only God has given me life, strength, gold, land, and countless slaves and livestock—and has sent me a beautiful wife. Go and cry to Moroch to see if it can come down from its throne to save you, but when I kneel before the one true God, He can answer my cry with fire. ’”
One of the elders jumped out and said in a voice like a gelding, 'We Ethiopians serve only the god Moloch! Who is your one god? We don't know and don't want to know. It's nothing more than some unnamed mountain god or river god, how can your new god be compared to the great god Moloch?' 'Nimrod, you are really an Okole! your god is also a real Okole!'
"During this time, I sat in the chief's tent and watched through the corner of the lattice. I was taken aback when I heard the word Okole, because I already knew most of the meaning of the ancient Sitan language, and Okole was a very insulting slurish. The people of Cush generally only used this word for cheap slaves, and the nobles of Cush were not even willing to say it, because they felt that even the sound of the word was an insult to them. I don't want to repeat the specific meaning of Okole, but in short, it means to describe a person who is so lowly that wild dogs have to walk around that person. I thought that Ning Lu would be furious when he heard this insult, but I didn't expect him to just stand there with a still face and a low but loud voice, 'May the one true God make the most just judgment between you and me.' ’”
"The fat-headed elders didn't hear Ninrod's words, and they cursed as they rushed to their camp, threatening to rebel with the best of their families, the Gush warriors, and burn Ninrod, the 'traitor to the god Moroch,' and me, the 'filthy,' on the pyre with fire and oil. ”
"In the past, Nimrod would have cut off the heads of these elders before they uttered more curses, but this time he didn't. Just when I was in great confusion, the unthinkable happened, I saw Nimrod kneeling down at the backs of the elders, opening his arms to the sky and praying for something, and after a while, the sky became dark, the sun was dark, and the earth opened its mouth, like the terrible beasts of antiquity, swallowing all the blasphemous elders, and even the ancient warriors who ran out of their respective camps to support them against Ninrod were swallowed up by the earth. ”
