Dede looked at Quiztitco fiercely, "Teacher, what did you say?"
"Loboda's heart is confused."
Dedege turned around and looked behind him again. The prince's expression was indeed dull, unlike the four people beside him who were still looking around and talking.
"Teacher, why do you say the prince is upset?"
"Oh, how can he not feel envious when he sees balanced joy? But he also knows in his heart that balanced joy is something they cannot imitate."
"Because if they follow their example, no one will surround them as kings."
Dedege said: "Then why is it not classified as balanced and must be the king?"
Quiztitco looked at him funny, "You were once Tugo's bodyguard, and your father was Tugo's housekeeper. Haven't you ever thought that one day you could become such a person who "does whatever you want"? "
Dede shook his head violently, but his cheeks were red. Of course he had thought about it, but he just didn't dare to admit it.
Quiztitko said: "You see, this is human desire."
"Teacher, don't you have any desire?"
"Of course there is, but the pursuit of my desires is different from theirs; I know that the one who saves me is our true Lord God, so my desire is to follow her, serve her, listen to her precepts, and make the kingdom of God strong."
"And you are looking at the army of judgment, the presiding judge, deputy presiding judges and inspectors. Who has ever used authority to bully the people?"
"They also have desires, but just like me, they want to make the Kingdom of God stronger."
"And I have something in common with the presiding judge and them. We have both been poor, in hardship, and suffered hardships."
"For this reason, we hope that the fire of balance will last forever, so that our descendants will never be bullied, endure hunger or cold, or fear any disaster."
Hearing this, Dedege nodded sharply: "Teacher, I understand, just like my father's expectations for me, he hopes that I will reach balance and gain true happiness."
Quiztitko said: "Then you can understand now why Loboda's heart is in chaos."
"Because he knows that the balanced and happy kingdom will be eternal, but the prosperity of the city-state alliance is temporary!"
"Like their ancestor Teotihuacan, they were also extremely prosperous, but were annihilated by disasters, wars, and diseases."
"And the destruction of the Maya."
"Don't say it again, our Lord has sent down a prophecy, and evil spirits will come in a few decades."
"Perhaps Loboda was dead by then, but could he really not worry about the inheritance of future generations?"
Dedege looked at the prince again: "Is he hesitating? Should he fall into equilibrium?"
"Maybe!"
between words.
Several people have arrived at the lower city.
Quiztitco led them to the door of the cafeteria and pointed to the side: "Get the meal trays there, and then queue up to get your meals. There are various dishes in the cafeteria. You can choose what you like, and someone will serve it to you."
"There is only one requirement, use what you need and don't waste it."
In fact, he didn't need to say anything, several people had a rough idea.
At first they felt it was novel, but then seeing people queuing up to get their meals, a trace of disdain flashed across the faces of the four officials.
Isn't this just like a master rewarding a slave?
However, they have been warned and dare not say anything.
The prince's concerns were different.
After walking into the big house, the aroma of food is fragrant. Looking at the dishes, although they are not rich, there is a lot of meat.
This is the standard of food for ordinary people in the royal capital, but the common people at the lower level are not blessed to enjoy it.
Not to mention, three meals a day.
He was thinking, how could Kema City maintain its operations with hundreds of thousands of people consuming it like this every day?
"Deputy Inspector, where does this food come from?"
After hearing this, several officials reacted suddenly. With so many people in the city, where could they afford to eat?
Are they not afraid of running out of food?
Quiztitko said: "As early as in the hill city, the judge
The army made an agreement with the northern tribes and ordered them to drive the buffalo herds southward as much as possible!"
"Most of the meat is hunted every day and then pickled in large quantities so that it can be stored for a long time."
"There are also catches from the lake, which will be transported by horse-drawn carriage!"
"Of course grain is scarce. Fortunately, the grain reserves of the two cities and the tribes in the north can barely sustain it."
"If we can eat enough meat, we should eat less grains. Soon we will embark on a migration journey!"
"But in the Kingdom of God, there is no shortage of food. I heard the divine messenger say that a large number of barns are built every year, and now there is enough food to feed millions of people for several years."
Several officials nodded slightly after hearing this, but didn't have much thoughts.
But Loboda knew that things were by no means so carefree.
Only when everyone works hard can such a balance between supply and demand be achieved.
But what about in the city-state alliance?
Once there is a disaster, the nobles will step up their efforts to stockpile food, while the common people can only endure hunger.
In fact, the nobles could not eat so much food, but even so, no one would distribute it to the common people.
The consequence would be that a large number of civilians would die from hunger and overwork, and the population would decrease sharply, which would also deplete the vitality of each city-state.
The truth is of course very simple, but no one has tried to change it.
Because even those who starve to death are the people, not the powerful.
Loboda fell silent.
It was a boring lunch.
On the contrary, the four officials frequently exclaimed, "It's true as the rumors say, there is salt given by God. The salt is as clean as clouds and has no bitterness!"
"Sir, is this a gift from the true God?"
"It is the grace of God, yes, but it is also the result of the creation skills of the law monks. I know that the bitter salt in each city is expensive, but in a balanced way, there is no shortage of salt and it is inexhaustible."
"Sir, is it possible to trade with us?"
When asked about this, Quiztitco laughed and said nothing.
That person realized that he had made a mistake and was embarrassed and at a loss.
exchange?
Why does the Kingdom of God want to exchange with you?
If you don't surrender to the equilibrium, don't you still want to take advantage of it?
Loboda was shocked...
The secret of the law is also the secret of the law.
When he saw more children arriving soon after, he remembered the words of the people migrating on the road and asked again: "Deputy Inspector, can everyone practice the secrets of the law?"
"Yes, or in other words, starting from childhood, you have to go to school;"
"Our Lord has given us the grace that young people do not have to work, because once they have learned, they will get more when they work in the future."
"Just like creating table salt, if there is no secret law, people can only make bitter salt."
"But by enrolling in the school and practicing the rules, you can rely on this art of creation to make the Kingdom of God no longer lack salt."
"My Lord once said that scientific divine law is the primary productive force!"
Loboda asked again: "Is there also a college in the city?"
"Yes, it is just for enlightenment."
"Can we go take a look?"
"certainly."
So after dinner, a few people went to the college.
What the academy teaches is the pinyin alphabet. Within a month, many children have mastered it, but it is still too early to learn more profound laws and secrets.
But what Loboda can be sure of is that this idea that everyone can learn from is not just a lie, but is put into practice.
So just imagine, if everyone is wise... Just as Queztitco said earlier, if everyone is strong and healthy, the Kingdom of God will prosper.
to afternoon.
The entire envoy finally entered the city.
Quiztitco arranged a place for them to stay and then left: "I still have business to deal with, so I won't stay with you."
The people in the mission were at a loss.
Is this the end?
Haven’t you seen the real messenger of God yet?
But then I heard Queztitko say: "The envoys of God already know your intention!"
"The so-called 'summation' is actually meaningless."
"My Lord has given us an oracle a long time ago. The army of judgment will no longer go south. Whether it will move toward balance depends entirely on the will of the people."
"When the last people who move toward equilibrium arrive, we will embark on our return journey."
"And you must know that from now on, you will be the people abandoned by God; our Lord will no longer send down divine punishment and judgment; but when disaster strikes, you will no longer be saved."
After that, he turned and left.
A group of people were all confused.
Then there was an uproar——
"In other words, our trip was in vain?"
"How can we say we are running in vain! Haven't we already received a promise? The army of judgment will not go south, and there will be no divine punishment coming!"
"This is equivalent to the success of "summation"!"
In an instant, everyone in the hall became ecstatic again.
"Then we can go back and bring the good news back?"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone looked at Loboda.
If this trip is successful, the eldest prince will inherit the throne.
"Your Highness!
"
"We lived up to expectations."
"You will become the new master of the valley..."
The crowd gathered around him and looked forward to it.
Of course, there are also hidden undercurrents, and there must be a few confidants of the prince among the envoys.
Now that I see the mission succeeding so easily, I feel completely uncomfortable and even more worried about my master.
However, as the eldest prince glanced at them, he felt helpless.
But he couldn't show his emotions.
Because he also knew that there was a mixed crowd in the mission, not only a few of the prince's confidants, but also people from the old country leader who were watching him.
"How can you leave without paying tribute?"
"I'll rest for the night and make my final plan after paying tribute tomorrow!"
Everyone agreed with this.
Leaving after one day in the city will inevitably show disrespect to the true God and His messengers, so you should stay a few more days.
to evening.
The horn sounds for serving dinner again.
After the experience at noon, everyone in the mission was already familiar with driving and prepared in advance. After Dedege arrived, he led them to the canteen for dinner.
And once again marveled at the delicious taste of the salt given by God.
"Even if trade cannot be exchanged, some should be brought back and presented to the king for tasting."
Someone raised expectations, but Dedege couldn't make the decision and wanted to ask Quiztitko for advice.
But I saw the Dharma monk who was having a meal beside him and said, "It's just a little salt, just give it to them!"
Dedege nodded and went to the kitchen in the cafeteria to get a large bag.
A group of messengers rejoiced.
The peace petition was successful again, and a gift was brought back...
After returning, it can be said to be a return gift from the divine envoy, and he will definitely be rewarded by the old king.
And during a meal.
Quiztitco was never seen again.
Loboda asked Dedege privately: "Why didn't the deputy inspector come?"
Dedege said: "Teacher is dining in the house."
After saying that, he quickly added, "It's not that there are people to serve, but that the teacher still needs to deal with affairs in the city, so the cafeteria will send meals to those who are still working."
"Teachers also work hard to gain something."
Loboda smiled and said: "I didn't mean to question it, I just wanted to chat with him, hear about the analysis of the universe, carriages and horses, and time, and ask him for advice."
Dedege was stunned for a moment, looked at him in astonishment for a few times, and then said hesitantly: "Then after dinner, you can follow me to see the teacher."
"good."
At sunset, everyone in the delegation returned to the house.
The prince said goodbye to everyone for a while: "I'm going to find the deputy inspector for advice. You can go back first."
Everyone was not worried about the prince's safety, and only offered to follow him to serve him.
After being rejected by the prince, he no longer persisted.
Just return to your residence first and prepare the tribute to the true God tomorrow.
Later, Dedege took Loboda back to Tugo's house.
As soon as he entered, Dedege said: "Teacher, you guessed it right, the prince does want to see you."
Loboda was stunned for a moment, his eyes wandered between the young man and the old man, and finally landed on Quiztitko, "Did you expect that?"
Quiztitco waved his hand to Dedege and asked him to leave, and then said: "When I led the cavalry regiment to greet me this morning, your reaction said it all..."
"The envoy is afraid of the army of judgment. For you, coming to Kema City is probably a road of no return!"
"After all, you have already known the various rumors about Kema City. Sinners will be judged! And the common people will find joy and peace."
"That's why your father sealed off all the cities to prevent the glory of Kokuli from spreading!"
"So in other words, knowing that this trip involves great risks, and that you, as a prince, still risk yourself, is enough to show that you have a yearning for balance in your heart."
Loboda wanted to retort, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted before the words came out——
"You want to say that you are old, not afraid of life and death, and are willing to give your last strength to the kingdom, so you come to seek peace?"
Loboda was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, this is my original intention!"
"But what does this have to do with me coming to you now?"
Quiztitko laughed loudly: "It's a big connection!"
"Just because you are willing to dedicate yourself to the kingdom, it means that you are one of the very few people in that country who cares about the people."
"Today, how can you suppress your emotions and remain unmoved after seeing everything in Kema City?"
Loboda frowned and said, "Can't I do it for my father, my brothers, and the royal family?"
Quiztitco's smile grew wider: "I was also unsure about this, so as Dedege said, I am just guessing about your visit, not sure."
"But now that you are here, your original intention is not for the royal family, but for the people of the kingdom!"
"Why?" Loboda still looked arrogant and his tone was unfair, because in front of Quiztitco, he seemed to have been completely seen through, and his whole body seemed to be stripped naked in an instant, so he was ashamed and angry.
Quiztitko said: "Because I told you this afternoon that the army of judgment will not go south, and there will be no divine punishment."
"If you are here for the royal family, there is no point in coming to see me again. I think everyone in the envoy has begun to make plans to leave, right?"
"Your request has been fulfilled, so why do you still come to me? You should be overjoyed and celebrate with the delegation!"
The words fell.
Loboda had no way to refute. He let out a long breath and sat down on the chair. He seemed to be frustrated, but in fact it was a kind of relief and relief——
"I thought deeply for a whole day, and finally wanted to make a decision that goes against the ancestors of Teotihuacan..."
"I am willing to stay and surrender to Kyouki! Become her people!"
"But if I want to lead the people of the kingdom towards balance, I don't know what to do..."
Quiztitko still seemed confident, walked aside, took something out of the wooden box, and handed it to him.
Loboda wondered: "What is this?"
Quiztitko said: "This is the token that Didymar gave to the deputy chief judge before the army of judgment set off."
"The deputy chief judge gave it to me again last night, and now I will give it to you."
Loboda was confused, but the name "Didimar" seemed familiar to him, "Do I know... Didymar?"
Quiztitco said: "He is the great bachelor of the Aztecs!"
"He is also the waiter who assists Zuo Sin King on the road to redemption."
"Oh, I forgot to say..."
"The Sin King and Didymar have already been guided by our Lord and have arrived in the Kingdom of God!"
"Because of their pious repentance, our Lord will give them merciful judgment!"
"His!
Loboda gasped, and her body that had just sat down suddenly jumped up, "What are you talking about... The King of Sin is not dead?!"
