185, Mount Sinai

Moses and other people cannot pass through the Marduk city controlled by Yousir. They have been watching the fertile soil of the plains in the mountains for many months, constantly moving from one place to another, looking for water and food in the mountains, The days are very hard.

From the crossing of the Youdi River controlled by the Kish city-state of the Baron Kingdom to the city of Marduk, a road has already appeared. Many prospective explorers have come to this new city-state continuously, looking for wealth and dreams. Many businessmen also organized convoys to send materials and transport them back to the Duque Plains specialty. Although the journey was difficult but profitable.

The Duque Plain is like a brand new unknown world given by the gods, full of challenges and opportunities, people come here to find hope. I do n’t know when there is a legend: Nothing wanderers may even have a city-state in the Duque Plains, which can obtain the wealth of a king, and in the future may also be blessed by the gods of the gods. The immigrants from the Kingdom of Barron certainly chose the Marduk city-state, and the caravans went further. They crossed the trail in the wilderness that was trampled by carts and horses and pedestrians, and did business with the city of Salem.

Salem City conducts trade with the Kingdom of Barron through Marduk City, which is the result of Mei Danzuo's deliberate negotiations with Yousil, which is beneficial to the development of both city-states. At present, the biggest enemy of the city of Salim is the Assyrians in the north. If the Assyrians advance from north to south to occupy the entire Duque Plain, it is difficult for Marduk to gain a foothold. These two city-states are in a cold-tooth relationship.

Yusir also does n’t want to be an enemy to the city of Salem. He is happy to see a barrier in the center of the Duque Plains blocking the strong enemy in the north, so he can have more time to stabilize the Marduk city.

The fine iron and leather goods produced in the city of Salem are also the materials needed by the Kingdom of Baron, not to mention the **** stone. The skills of the miners in Duque Town were taught by Amon to Link, and Link was also taught to the cavemen of the tribe. Now there are a group of excellent craftsmen in the city of Salem, who can not only smelt ore but also create various exquisite utensils. .

But the trade between the Kingdom of Barron and the city of Salim is limited. For example, fine iron and other products can only be transported from the Duque Plains. Weapons, armor, and war horses are very important. Strategic materials shall not be sold to Salim City.

If you need these things, you can either build them yourself or only obtain them from other sources. Amon opened another business channel in Black Fire Marsh, of course, to solve this problem. However, even if the long commercial channel was opened, it could not meet the urgent needs. There were still many things to be done in the lack of manpower in Salem City, and it was impossible to build all the combat supplies.

Before the roads of Black Fire Marsh were opened, Mei Danzuo came up with another idea to conduct a similar smuggling trade. The Mei Danzuo was originally smuggled from horse leather billets, and it was a familiar experience to instruct people to do this business.

Entering the wilderness adventure and hunting is full of danger. Naturally, you must carry weapons, armor, and horses. The self-use equipment of adventure teams and wandering hunters who go deep into the wilderness is not within the limits of the trade. But a whole set of excellent weapon armor and warhorse is definitely not affordable for the average person. Many expedition squads carry crude weapons and walk into the wilderness to take luck together.

A business firm in Marduk City provided loans to these people, and the borrowed money was used to purchase war horses and weaponry designated by the business firm. Who will borrow the money and how will it be returned in the future? Don't worry about it. After entering the wilderness, someone will buy their weapons and war horses. The price is very high. After repaying the loan of the business, you can still make a lump sum without having to venture into the wilderness.

It is normal for explorers to lose weapons and war horses in the wilderness Jungle, sometimes because of difficult roads, sometimes because of encounters with beasts, and sometimes even their own lives will be sent away. After the expedition failed, "luckily" fled back and returned to the commercial bank to repay the loan and earn a sum of money, and then continue to borrow the equipment to purchase before starting. In this way, Mei Danzuo allows Saleng City to obtain a steady stream of strategic materials.

Loans in commercial banks are calculated according to time. Stray explorers who smuggle goods in this way cannot make money if they travel too long, so they must strive to go back as fast as possible. To take away several times in a time, in order to fight for more profits.

The owner of the business firm doing business in Marduk City is also an old friend, Nescott-Lee, a wealthy businessman in the city of Uruk. He not only profited by borrowing, but also made a lot of money by selling various strategic materials. He organized caravans across the Kingdom of Barron to transport to Marduk city. It was a pleasant cooperation with Mei Danzuo.

Because Nescott-Lee ’s business has performed well, the goods shipped, attracted customers, and paid taxes have all contributed to the prosperity and development of Marduk City, which has been praised by the owner of the city, Jusier. When Nescott-Lee came to Marduk to inspect his business, the host of the city of Yusir specially feasted on this wealthy businessman and said that he would report Nescott-Lee ’s merits to the Kingdom, maybe he could get a nobleman. As long as he continues to contribute to Marduk City.

On the high slopes of the mountain, caravans and explorers can be seen moving through the city of Marduk and the city of Salem, but Moses and others cannot move forward. They are bound by an oracle: except Marduk, they No gods should be built for any other gods.

However, they believed in their only **** and accepted the guidance of Arahao to get here through all kinds of hardships and dangers. Moses and the tribes were naturally unwilling to accept this condition.

At the beginning, they prayed to the gods all night, and then heard the voice of the angel. Mei Danzuo told them that this was the test of the gods and the last obstacle they had to overcome before returning to their hometown. The gods gave them confidence and courage, and now they need to solve it with their own wisdom and strength. The implication is that Ah Luohe will not take them directly. This time, the tribes need to find a way to overcome the difficulties themselves.

What should I do? At the top of the mountain, you can see the vast Duque Plain, but the city of Marduk is in front of you, and the Syrian desert is thousands of miles away. The food carried by Moses' space magic weapon has been exhausted, and Arahao no longer displays miracles. They can only pick wild fruits in the mountains and capture the belly of their prey.

The miners of Duque Town are chasing prey and water in the mountains. When spring comes, they finally stop their tired steps temporarily and find a valley where they can stop on the edge of the mountain. There is a thin spring on the hillside, forming a winding mountain stream through a wind-proof valley. Moses took out the grain seeds that he carried with him, and the people of the Ming tribe reclaimed land on the side of the mountain to plant crops, and built simple hut to live at the foot of the mountain.

The clan guards this field from being trampled by wild animals, and takes turns to hunt in the nearby mountains. The seeds have just broken through the soil and germinated. It is still a long time before the harvest. Every day, I have to go to the mountain stream to irrigate the water and go to the mountain to hunt for food. The life is very difficult. Hardship is second, and the most tormenting is the feeling of hopelessness.

A tribe said to Moses: "You let us reclaim the fields and build a hut, do you want to settle here? Look at the surroundings, there are deserted mountains without humans, the mountains are not far from the desert, we only guard A small mountain stream, living in this barren valley, can only build the humblest hut. If so, it is better to stay in Amon ’s territory, why did we have to leave? We have gone through hardships, not want This result today! "

Moses replied: "This is just a place where we stop temporarily. Spring is here, we must sow autumn to harvest, and with food, we can go further in the next winter."

A tribe asked again: "For the time being? But how long do we have to wander here? Where did the God who guided us go?"

Moses persuaded: "This is God's test for us, we have to overcome the difficulties ourselves. The seeds are planted here for future gains, and the houses are built so that everyone can rest better and wait for the journey One day, we will have a better hope and future. "

Everyone asked: "Can you tell us how long we will stay here?"

Moses did n’t answer this question because he did n’t know the answer himself, but said with the staff of iron branches: "Look at the ground under your feet, the broken malt is full of vitality, then look at the clouds in the sky, changing The pattern is always so beautiful and magical. If the heart is full of hope, even the sunshine in the desert will always be so bright. "

In fact, Moses himself can quietly bypass the city of Marduk and enter the Duque Plains. After crossing the Red Sea, he already has the Seventh Level achievement of one both sides power. Although Amon has not given him the guidance of his original power, Moses is already a great magician and warrior. He wants to go anywhere. But Moses did not abandon the tribe, he was their leader, he had to fulfill his promise.

At this time, Yousir sent someone to find them again. Youssier ’s messenger told Moses: "Great Spiritual God Marduk has dropped the oracle. You are all the best craftsmen on the mainland. If you are willing to live in Marduk city, you swear Always believe in the great **** Marduk, you will have a happy and prosperous life. There are comfortable houses and beautiful girls in the city of Marduk. We have prepared artisan workshops for you, and there are wines beside the workbench. "

Moses refused this request, but some people have been tempted in private. Instead of waiting aimlessly here, it is better to have a comfortable life in Marduk. It's just that it's difficult to face the instructions of Arahao, but the gods have already said that they need to find a way to overcome the difficulties themselves. Since this is the case, can you accept the conditions of Jusir?

If you give up perseverance, the benefits are in front of you. They have been suffering long enough. Moses was aware of the ideas of many people, and was trying to get out of the predicament. He sent twelve judges to climb the high slopes near the Duque Plain to observe the terrain, check if there was a secret passage, and then returned to the station to discuss Countermeasures.

After the Twelve Judges left, Moses alone climbed the highest mountain beside the station, named Sinai. Moses prayed on the top of Mount Sinai for three days and three nights. He called in his heart: "Arok, my only god! Please give us real guidance. I do not ask you to move the mountains and fill the sea to let us go directly to our hometown. I just want to ask you to point me to the right belief, how can we not be lost in the journey. "

Three days passed, and Sinai was silent. Moses worried about the situation of the clan and finally prepared to go back. He stood up with a long sigh. He was carrying the iron stick and was about to go down the mountain, and suddenly he heard the voice of Arahao: "Moses, in fact, you could have passed Marduk, why are you still here?"

Moses turned and knelt down anxiously, prostrate to the invisible spirits in the void and said, "My God, you have finally spoken! Marduk lowered the oracle and asked us to swear that we should not be gods other than him Building an idol, this oath blocks the clan ’s footsteps. "

Aloha asks in reply: "Did I ever ask you to build a **** for me? If you really wanted to build a **** for me, what would it look like?"

Moses froze, and after a long time, he suddenly realized: "I understand what you mean, and not building a statue does not shake our faith."

Arokho asked again: "Why haven't you led the clan into the Duque Plain so far? Marduk city is not an obstacle."

Moses sighed: "But the tribes don't understand this, and even I am not sure. The promise is that the condition is disrespect to you. The tribes are afraid of losing God's guidance or even being retaliated by you. My God! You really do n’t want to show your face to the people, do n’t you want us to build a **** for you? ”

Arohe replied: "Yes, I just gave you a promise to strengthen your inner convictions, and neither need nor allow you to build a **** for me. If one day you see my face, it will also be You must keep the secret strictly. Because from the beginning, I have made such an agreement with the clan. Today, these agreements will be made clear, and you will take them back to announce them. "

Moses nodded quickly: "Okay, please make a contract with me and the people."

Arokho solemnly said: "You must have no other gods besides me! Otherwise, you will lose my guidance. This is the first agreement. Do not build a tangible idol for God. If so, later generations The people may forget the guidance of the faith and just pray for the idol on the altar. This is the second agreement. These two agreements are enough to get you out of the current predicament. This is my request and my promise. "

Moses kissed the dirt road: "Thank you, my god!"

Arokho added: "You must not act in my name. Everyone is responsible for their choices. This is the third agreement. The tribes are very hard. They should rest for one day after six days of work, and should not be. Drive them to work, this is the fourth agreement. To respect your parents, never forget who brought you to this world and gave you life, this is the fifth agreement. "

Moses replied prostrately: "I have written down all these."

Arokho went on to say: "I have given you the guidance of strength, but also to understand the trials of this world. The question of fate runs through. There are five cautions after returning home. Do not kill innocent people, Do n’t deprive others of your life because of money or selfish desires; do n’t; do n’t steal; do n’t perjury others; do n’t embezzle things that do n’t belong to you. You must remember these conventions. The Salang City State has reserved ancestral land and At the mine, you have to live in harmony with the people there, and do n’t think that everything there is deserved because of my promise. "

Moses memorized Arahah's words in his heart. These were the ten promises God made with him and his people, and they were later called the Ten Commandments. After saying this, Arahao again commanded: "You will tell my people to my people, if they are willing to comply, then I will complete the promise and continue to guide them. After all this, you will come to see me on Mount Sinai . "

Moses walked down Mount Sinai with the agreement with Arahah, and passed the spring eyes that originated from the stream on the mountainside, and ran away along the mountain stream with brisk steps. He couldn't wait to tell the tribe this good news. When he came to the place where the tribe lived, it was already dark, but the scene in front of him surprised him.

Several large fires were lit by the open space in the middle of the hut. This place was originally used as a wheat field after the autumn harvest, but now there is a glittering golden cow in the center of the open space. Some people were dancing around the golden cow, and others lined up and prayed to the golden cow.

Moses asked, "What are you doing! Where is this golden bull?"

This drink has magical powers, and has the power to impact the soul and make people wake up from the coma. The dancing people stopped, and the praying people stood up, showing confusion, panic, and unwillingness. Joshua flashed out of the hut's shadow, grabbing Moses' sleeve and said, "You are finally back! There has been a big event here in these three days, and a **** has shown signs." He whispered the story ——

The twelve judges who protected the clan left the camp, and the leader Moses also climbed Mount Sinai. The clan people seemed to have lost their backbone. Even the wind blowing through the treetops at night became so terrible, in fear. Spent the first night. In fact, most of them are very strong, comparable to the soldiers of any regular legion on the road, but for the first time in a long time, they have lost the protection of more powerful forces for the first time, and they are a little panicked.

The first day after Moses left, there was a disturbing situation. The prey in the nearby mountains has disappeared without a trace. The people who hunted in the mountains didn't even catch a rabbit. They all came back empty-handed, and everyone went to bed hungry for the first time. The food they carried was finished, and the last batch was sown as seeds.

The tribes fell asleep in hunger and restlessness. On this night, whether they were awake or asleep, they heard a voice from nowhere, as if it sounded directly in their minds: "Does the miners of Duque Town want to save themselves from the fate of suffering? I am Great Spiritual God Bakri to guide you back to your dream home." RO
