Chapter 70 Special Operations Group-9
A few days later, news came out from all over the place.
First it came out of Surrey.
"Team leader, Athos left Surrey Harbor City and ran directly to Surrey City, and then disappeared there"
"Disappeared?"
"The Ministry of Justice is about to report that he cannot escape the sight of our spies, but a few days ago, a large number of Zoroastrians set out to Mount Damawande for pilgrimage. We believe that Athos is mixed there, and the pilgrims are wearing white and red robes, symbolizing light and flames."
"Many people are still covered in faces. They are said to be the usual dress for Persian Zoroastrians to pilgrimage. It is not surprising that Athos is mixed in, and our people are also dressed in this way."
"In addition, the team leader's appointment with Mahmoud was also stranded"
"Oh?"
"Mahmud said he has been infected with cold these days, and it is not convenient to see guests"
An unpredictable look appeared on Omubu's face.
"Oh?"
"What else?"
"Rukani did not enter the Harbour City, but left on a local merchant ship heading to Rasht. Aruna mingled on it, and I believe she would not be lost."
"Merchant ship? Can I take a boat alone?"
"Team leader, this merchant ship obviously knows Rukani, and Aruna dressed up as a man and had a beard, looking like a Turgut merchant from our country"
"And..."
As soon as he saw the agent's expression, Omubu knew that something must have happened.
"Team leader, Lukani just entered Rusht City and something big happened there!"
"Oh?"
"The great imam of Rasht City, the city lord Abdullah, was killed!"
"Ah?!", At this time, Omubu was also a little surprised, "Is it related to Rukani?"
"After the incident, Abdullah's people immediately rushed to the city and still found nothing. Like Surrey, just the day before, a large number of Zoroastrians left there. The killing of Abdullah and the departure of Zoroastrians were less than half a day away"
"Since then, Rukani has disappeared, and now Aruna is also pretending to be a Zoroastrian and mingles in the pilgrimage team. I believe there will be news soon"
"Also, Yudith, the leader of the Zoroastrianism of Hualazimo, brought a large number of Zoroastrians, and at least a few thousand people also crossed Mount Elbool to enter Persia from the Nanoyang near Gorgan."
Omubu suddenly became thoughtful.
"You are a local agent. From your perspective, are there any strange things in these things?"
"Of course there are. Every October 10th, many Zoroastrians will gamble across Mount Elbool to make pilgrimage to Mount Damawande, but this year there are too many people."
Omubu nodded, "I believe that our officials will not see this, especially in Hualazimo, where so many Zoroastrians go to Damawande to make pilgrimage. It is obviously not possible without permission from officials responsible for religious affairs."
"Team leader, I am about to report that General Bambar of Azerbaijan has sent out ten large steam merchant ships from Liankoran Port, carrying a brigade of cavalry"
"Do you have any instructions on what I want me to do?"
"No"
"Okay"
Omubu met Rahman immediately.
"That's it"
When Rahman heard Omubu's explanation, he was also shocked. "The only people of the Kharazimo who went to Mount Damawande to pilgrimage to the Zoropause in the past were the hosts and Zoropauses of the Zoropa Temple, which were at most hundreds of people. Why are there so many people at once...Oh!"
He suddenly patted his forehead.
"October 10th this year is a special day. Since I joined Truchen, I have almost ignored the affairs of the church and almost forgot it."
"October 10th this year is the first three thousand years confirmed by Zoroasted, the founder of our church, and it is also the third thousand years after our church was born."
"He said that the world reincarnates in light and darkness every three thousand years. The last three thousand years was the dark era of my religion. Being chased by Christianity and the Islamic religion is proof that if it weren't for the appearance of Bianbosilin, my religion would have long been extinct near the Caspian Sea"
"Since October 11 this year, my teaching has entered the next three thousand years of brightness. No, I have to set off quickly"
Omubu smiled and said, "Who are you going to take?"
Rahman said: "There are several Marines stationed in Surrey Harbor City who are Zoroastrians, and they are also guardians of my Mingli Messenger, so let them go."
Omubu shook his head, "Abdullah of Rasht City was assassinated. If I guess it is good, it is somewhat related to the Zoroastrians. At least it has taken advantage of the movement of a large number of Zoroastrians preparing to go to Mount Damawande to pilgrimage..."
"What? Abdullah was assassinated? He is a young man"
"Young man? What's going on?"
In the impression of Omubu, the Islamic Imam is at least a middle-aged man with strong strength, and most of them are old people who read scriptures.
"Yes, Abdullah was only in his early twenties and suddenly appeared there. It is said that he had learned scriptures in Medina and Istanbul and had received strong support from Ottomans and Persia to take office. Unexpectedly, he was assassinated... Slowly, do you mean that this matter is related to the Assassin Organization?"
"I'm not sure yet, but this conference in Damawande Mountain must be very interesting..."

When they arrived at the foot of Mount Mawande, built by the former Tehran lord, specifically used to collect taxes from the Zoroastrians, it happened to be the morning of October 10th!
Damawande Fort is just a small castle, made of local limestone, so it is impossible to put all pilgrims in it. As a result, almost 100,000 Zoroastrians were scattered around the castle, and those who brought tents lived in the tent.
Those who did not bring a tent could only sleep in the wilderness, clustered in the east and west, almost filling the gentle slopes that were several square kilometers directly opposite Mount Damawande were trampled by pilgrims!
Everyone's outfits are similar. Many female Zoroastrians are still wearing veils. The air is filled with the smell of shit, urine and sweat, which is in sharp contrast with the sacred and noble snow-capped mountains in the distance.
Of course, as the envoy of Mingli, Rahman could bring a few people into the castle. Near the north of the castle is a high square, which is the best place to view the snow mountain. Those with the above-mentioned identity can hold a worship ceremony to the snow mountain under the leadership of the tycoon.
Ten special operations team members including Omubu followed Rahman into the city.
After entering the city, Omubu immediately found that there were obviously fewer people here than outside. Although the castle was small, it was still OK to carry 10,000 people. However, there were obviously not so many here, at most only two or three thousand people. There were also Persian soldiers from Tehran patrolling and standing guard everywhere.
In the square, a raging fire had long been lit towards the snow-capped mountains. It was a huge copper pot with a diameter of at least one zhang, filled with firewood and burning fiercely.
Omubu observed that the fire was in a straight line with the top of the snow-capped mountain and the loneliness tower at the highest point of the Zoro Temple in the city.
This is built by the Persians. Although it is for the purpose of making money, they do not want the limelight of the Zoroastrianism to overshadow the Islamic Church. In the square, there are four minarets that are as high as the sky. There are vague figures on the top of the tower, which are obviously Persian soldiers monitoring the Zoroastrians.
Copper pot is piled on the high platform in the square. One hundred people can stand on the high platform. As the rising sun just shines on the top of the snow-capped mountain, it reflects dazzling light. Thousands of Zoroastrians who had already stood under the stage cheered, and then dozens of people walked up to the high platform.
The first person was about thirty years old, wearing Persian robe, no sign of Zoroastrians, and no beard. He was the eunuch of the Persian Empire nowadays, and actually the Great Vizier Aga!
Following a group of people, the closest to Aga is naturally the Zoroastrians nowadays. Yudith, the leader of the Zoroastrians from Hualazimo,
There are dozens of people around Yudith, each wearing a Zoroastrian dress specially used for worship, with his head in a hood and a red scarf covering his face, making people unable to see his true face.
