From several military towns on the shores of Lake Texcoco, the lingering sounds of boiling and cheering could be faintly heard from the city in the lake.
The unusual situation attracted the attention of countless people.
In a tavern, several garrison leaders gathered, drank wine, and asked about what happened when they entered the city today. At this time, they still felt incredible——
"Did they really sink the wealth and jewelry into the water?"
"It's absolutely true!" the sergeant replied, "the nobles who originally made deals with us are gone. It was a few civilians who took the treasure and opened the floodgates into the city."
Some people scorned: "If you are a person with water ability, you can enter the waterway and salvage the property again."
Someone else retorted: "The question now is not whether it can be salvaged..."
He looked towards the direction of the city and continued: "How long have you been listening to the noise in the city?"
"The nobles in the city exchanged their goods for food with us, so they had no worries about food and clothing; but the common people were hungry and even had to eat people."
"It surprises me that the people in the city have resisted until now."
"But now, the common people have slaughtered the nobles and robbed their belongings, and they no longer have anything to fear."
"As they said, the wealth is of no use to them. Only what can be exchanged for food has the value of existence."
"Even if sinking the jewelry into the lake is their way of scaring people, it's obviously a warning."
"So, what does the twenty-odd boats of food and dried meat count?"
"The State of Tepanix has returned seeking peace, and now all the city-states have sent messages to announce that the blockade will be lifted!"
"Then the next step..."
He clicked and stopped.
A group of people looked at each other because of this, everyone understood.
The relationship between them as "old neighbors and old friends" that they have maintained for more than two years may come to an end.
The city in the lake is strategically located and must be conquered and annexed by various countries.
Once a war breaks out, these old brothers who have made money together will fight against each other.
In other words.
The vast treasures of the Aztecs will no longer be profitable!
If you don’t make money now, then when will you wait?
"25 boats?"
"Send it to them in five days as promised!"
"In addition, prepare more food and take out all their treasures as much as possible!"
The military giants meeting ended.
And in the city.
The carnival is still going on.
But it is said to be a carnival, but in fact the porridge is thickened and you can eat the corn kernels instead of grinding it into powder, adding a lot of water and unknown vegetable leaves.
A feast was also held in the clan elders' conference hall.
Loboda's identity was recognized and he sat in the first place. When he saw the food being brought, he was startled: "Is this what you are going to eat?"
But Izcoatl shook his head: "No, we don't have such good meals on weekdays."
He pointed to a roasted bird spilling grease and said, "This passenger pigeon is the stupidest bird in the valley."
"The lake wetland in Lake City is their favorite place to visit, but the past two years of netting have made them know that this is a forbidden area and they will no longer come in groups."
"If any family in the city can catch a passenger pigeon, it will make the whole family happy for three days."
He pointed to another plate: "The fish in the lake near the shore have also been caught, and it is difficult to catch anything."
During the banquet, Mondaya wore a simple dress. Except for a few people, no one knew her identity. Loboda now understood that Mondaya escaped from the country of Tepanix with his envoy.
Came to Lake City again.
"Uncle...Your Highness, the people in the city can only eat some corn porridge water today, but nothing fishy."
For a while.
The jubilant atmosphere cooled down a bit.
Those clan elders lowered their eyebrows and couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness Loboda, when can we set off?"
All eyes are focused on it.
But Loboda hesitated.
When it came to taking people to move, he felt panic in his heart.
Although he was sure that Tezozomok did not dare to stop the "people of Balance", but he rebelled against the Lord of the Valley, and that was his old father, there was no way he would not feel a little pressure.
Qiboche probably knew what he was thinking, and he tried to smooth things over by discussing the matter as it happened——
"You still need to make adequate preparations for migration."
Dedege added: "Yes, hundreds of thousands of people have to go to Kema, and the journey is difficult."
"It is impossible for the people in the city to abandon everything and pack their backpacks for a long journey."
"What's more important is that the people are hungry. I see that most of the people in the city are emaciated and weak. Not only do they have to travel long distances, but they also have to give them enough meals for a few days."
"In addition, before departure, the 'Deputy Presiding Judge' asked the teacher to remind me that the Aztecs' creation method of making wheeled transportation vehicles should be taught. The old and weak can ride on the frame, and the strong ones can carry it out in rotation."
"I have brought the secret scroll of creation. All you need to do is find craftsmen and tear down the wood from the houses in the city to create something."
As soon as these words came out, Loboda also came back to his senses, "Yes, I was sent to Kema as an envoy, and I also saw the magic of the wheel."
"The people of Quema City have already been preparing for their pilgrimage to the Kingdom of God, and the Aztecs should also make the same efforts."
He calculated the time and made a decision: "Since you said that the remaining food can last for a month, then use half a month as the period."
"We will set off in half a month and bring the remaining food for supplies on the road. From here to Kema City, it will only take 7 days at the fastest! Even if hundreds of thousands of people are traveling slowly, half a month is enough to arrive."
"As long as we get to Kema, the envoys will be prepared in advance so that we can have food and clothing without worries."
The plan is perfect.
The anger that had cooled down just now also recovered.
A group of clan elders even had tears in their eyes, "In half a month, in another half month, the misfortune and pain will disappear!!"
…
Balance year 14, June 18th.
morning.
In the main city of Hexiang, under the gaze of everyone, our Lord performed miracles and created things.
Dash8 appeared out of thin air;
H225 is the most familiar balanced instrument to the people, with a length of 19 meters.
Compared with the behemoth Dash8 with a wingspan of nearly 30 meters, it seems quite small.
Led by Tiaoyu, he led Zhou Ruoyu, Zhou Ruonan, four people from Zhou Wangshan, four people from Zhou Yusheng, and four people from the gunpowder research team.
They followed Zhou Li'an and Xue Nu onto the plane ramp.
And with the cheers of all the people, he waved goodbye.
As early as three days ago, our Lord's will came, and the "Balance News" quickly published a special edition to inform all the people of the Kingdom of God and record and witness this historic moment in the Kingdom of God.
【The glory of balance comes to the old land!】
【My Lord will lead His devout apostles and servants to patrol the earth!!】
This means that the Kingdom of God takes the first step towards “creating a new world”.
The journey to equilibrium is truly clear.
And the evil spirits in the prophecies of disaster can no longer scare the people.
On the contrary, this indicates that in the not-too-distant future, the balanced eternal fire will burn out all darkness and filth in that bad land, bringing purification and baptism.
The takeoff runway has long been cleared.
The Temple Mount guards, all in armor, stretched out their cordon and formed the ceremonial guard, standing on both sides of the runway.
A disciple of Zhou Weiguo holds the phone.
The camera scanned the faces of the Supreme Elder's Hall, the monks of the Temple Mount and other senior officials of the Kingdom of God one by one.
Then it gradually moved into the distance, recording the exciting scene of all peoples, and finally locked on the new creation's balanced sacred instrument "Wings of Glory".
Engine ignition.
The twin propellers began to rotate, sweeping up the hurricane and causing smoke and dust to billow.
But this was the case, which made the people cheer even more enthusiastically.
In the smoke and dust, the shadow of the giant creature finally moved.
The roar of the engine intensified, almost making everyone's thoughts freeze and become empty; it also turned the cheers into a stunned sluggishness.
The 1,000-meter sprint has become extremely short in people's eyes.
Before they could come to their senses.
The "head" of the behemoth on the ground has broken through the billowing smoke and risen from the ground.
Countless people were crying at this moment and couldn't help themselves.
It seems that an era is moving forward.
There are countless children who have planted a seed of enthusiasm in their hearts——
Because the teacher at the college said;
Our Lord spares no effort in teaching and gives the secrets of the law, so that he can create the holy instrument that ascends to the sky, allowing people to soar in the sky, travel around the world, and spread the balanced glory to all directions of the earth.
And when the "Wings of Glory" disappeared from the sky, leaving only the faint roar, people were reluctant to move for a long time.
On the viewing platform.
The great elder made a long sigh: "If I could be 20 years younger, I would also look forward to following my Lord and going to the other side of the ocean to see."
Xiaohua smiled and said: "Ruonan has followed Zhou Weiguo's disciples during this period and learned the 'law of light and shadow'. Everything he saw along the way will be recorded and photographed. When he returns, you can also see..."
"Furthermore, Great Elder, our Lord once wanted to give you the grace of 'immortal life'. Why didn't you accept it? If you accept it, you will have a strong body and can endure the hardships of long journeys."
The great elder smiled and shook his head: "I am satisfied! You should also know that I am a sinner after reading through the "Bible of Balance"."
"Back then, the Tushi tribe became greedy after seeing the 'salt given by the gods'. They massacred the small tribe and enslaved their people."
"The witch was still a child at that time and was the waiter of the witch in the small tribe."
"In order to force the magic of creating salt, Chief Tushi stabbed the witch to death in front of the witch..."
"I still remember that day, just before dusk, the blood was splashed on Wu's face, and she shouted towards the darkening sky, calling the name of Balance——"
"I will never forget the pain, despair, and hatred in his eyes."
"Although my Lord forgave me, and the witch never mentioned this matter to me again, I always knew in my heart that I was a sinner! However, I still received the kindness and mercy of my Lord, and I enjoy the peace and joy I have today."
"So, how can I dare to pray for immortality?"
“Everyone who achieves eternal life should be one who has made boundless merit and glory for the Kingdom of God.”
Xiaohua never knew what the elder was thinking, so now she felt a little silent after hearing it.
After a moment, he was relieved: "My lord has something to say, and those who don't know are not guilty. After you saw the balance, you served devoutly at my lord's knees, led the people to migrate, and established the Kingdom of God. This is already a manifestation of merit."
"How can our Lord bestow grace on you if he doesn't see your efforts?"
"not to mention……"
Xiaohua looked at the sky, "That idiot Zhou Ruoyu is the first person in the Kingdom of God, besides witches, to achieve immortality! If he can do it, you can do it too."
However, the Great Elder still shook his head, with a serious look on his face: "If Yu is different, he may seem stupid, but in fact, as my Lord said, he often has great wisdom."
"He can solve problems that you can't and see through the crimes of hill cities."
"He can also pray for the grace of my lord, the wizard, to be selected for this trip together with Ruonan."
"Let me ask, who else in the Kingdom of God can do it?"
"If you are stupid, you will have great achievements in the future. Even if you can't beat the chief and bull shit, you won't be too far behind."
Xiaohua smiled and said: "Since you think so highly of him, even if I teach him a lesson with a whip, I must let him become a talented person so that he can live up to your expectations."
The great elder laughed loudly, then lowered his voice: "Chief, there is one more thing... you know that I am old, and there will be a day! If the two younger ones can... you understand?"
Xiaohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you thinking too far?"
"Not far, not far. When you came here, you were still a child of 7 years old. Now you have reached the age of coming of age ceremony. When the army of judgment returns in triumph, you will become husband and wife with cow shit. Time flies...
"
The old man and the young man chatted for a long time.
The elders at the scene, the monks of Temple Mount, and the people in the city also had a long aftertaste and were unwilling to leave for a long time.
After a long time.
The great elder was tired, so he took the first step.
Xiaohua returned to her serious attitude and looked at the people beside her: "Did you take photos of the entire process?"
"Chief, it's filmed, it lasts 35 minutes!"
Xiaohua nodded and ordered: "My Lord has a decree and orders you to broadcast today's scene to each city."
There is only one memory card, but the carousels are not released at the same time and do not conflict.
The man was about to leave, but Xiaohua added: "This time the broadcast will start from the 11th city! Now set off, I will send iron cavalry to escort you there!"
The disciples of Zhou Weiguo didn't know why, but they didn't dare to question the chief's order.
Xiaohua's intention is simple.
The Huo clan members returned to their clan, far away from the Kingdom of God, and were responsible for the construction and cement construction of the new city. They always had to have some direction and comfort.
Moreover, the 60,000 people who migrated to the east have now arrived in the great city of Hohokam, and we need to let them know that Balance is always with them.
As for Big City No. 12, she doesn't need to worry about it.
Our Lord has already made it clear that he will come to City No. 12 and lead the more than 40,000 natives to witness the miracles and great power.
…
On the plane.
More than ten people were divided into two rows in the cabin, wearing safety harnesses, and there was plenty of space behind them.
If Dash8 is used for civil aviation transportation, it can carry about 50 people at full load.
Nowadays, the seats have been removed and it has become a "battlefield transportation style", which can actually accommodate more people.
However, there is no point in taking too many people on this trip. When we arrive at the nest of germs in Africa, Zhou Li'an is afraid that he will not be able to take care of them.
Wait until the plane flies smoothly.
The main cockpit door opens.
Yuki-onna is an experienced aerialist. Even though it was her first time riding Dash8, she seemed very familiar with it.
"Okay, you can unbuckle your seat belts and take a look at the scenery outside."
"The first stop is Big City No. 12. After resting for the night, we will set off to the second stop 'Gate of the New World' tomorrow."
Tiaoyu, Zhou Wangshan, Zhou Yusheng and others are all feeling uncomfortable now.
Except for Tiaoyu, it was the first time for everyone else to visit the sky realm.
Whether it was the feeling of weightlessness during takeoff or psychological factors, their stomachs were churning.
Seeing their discomfort, the snow girl pointed to the back: "If you want to vomit, you can go to the bathroom!"
"Come on, come with me and get familiar with how to operate it."
The battlefield fan cabin also has a toilet, of course.
Yuki-onna was used to using toilets in this world, and she was equally familiar with driving on an airplane.
The group of people studied for a long time and finally figured it out.
The only two little ones who were as relaxed as the snow girl started chirping——
"Witch, where is the door to the new world?"
"Wu, then there is a second stop, and there must be a third stop, right?"
The snow girl was well prepared and returned to the cabin to obtain my master's large atlas and unfold it in front of everyone——
A finger in the Caribbean waters.
"The island chain here is the 'Gateway to the New World'; Kouji is the creator of the new world. In the future, if all the countries in the Old Land want to pilgrimage to Kouji, they will need to take this route to arrive, so it is the 'Gateway to the World'."
"And here, here... big cities will be built in the future."
"I have descended with my Lord earlier and given the glory of Kinkou. When the ship research team can build an ocean-going ship, Kinkou can bring the indigenous people on these islands under Kinkou."
"At the same time, these places will also be central areas for military and trade!"
"In the future, when all the nations come to visit this place, they will definitely prosper."
"The third stop——"
The map doubled again and was spread flat on the ground.
She pointed to South America and said:
"The Land of Far View!"
"This is the real southern land, and the city-state alliance you know is actually in the middle zone between the Kingdom of Balance and the Land of Far Hope."
"From now on, the north of the kingdom of God is called the 'land of divine revelation'; it is the beginning of the coming of our Lord and divine revelation."
"The alliance of city-states is the place of redemption, the place where the first baptism and purification of balance and glory takes place."
"As for this 'Land of Far View', it will be the next step in Balance's journey! The rich forests, mineral veins, and grasslands will provide a large number of resource conditions for Balance's development."
"Our third stop will be at the westernmost point of the Land of Prospect. I would like to call it the 'Coast of Hope', because this is the first starting point for a balanced move towards the old land!"
