And the news of the arrival of the true god began to spread in the city.
——Balance is the only true god in the world.
The people in the city were agitated and boiling, but they didn't know what they meant.
But the miracles that came from the sky were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and made the people feel awe.
The palace has not given any additional explanation for the time being.
On the one hand, they have to receive the "Angel of Balance";
On the other hand, denying previous beliefs and advocating for the true God requires a suitable opportunity.
As for what this opportunity is, we still need to seek the balanced will of our Lord.
Qiao Lan first took everyone to stay in the best courtyard of the palace.
Even if they don't understand the language, the fact that everything is decorated with gold paint and covered with Persian carpets is enough to show that the Malindi royal family attaches great importance to the divine messengers.
Settling down a good place to live.
Returning to the palace, the banquet has been arranged.
The roasted golden lamb smells of exotic spices.
When the meat is divided into trays, it is the first to be delivered to Tiaoyu and others.
Several people looked at each other and looked at Zhouwang Mountain at the same time——
"Can we eat their food?"
After arriving in the old land of Africa, my Lord asked Zhou Wangshan to promulgate the health regulations of the old land.
Avoid eating old foods.
But now, my lord and the shaman have left, leaving them alone. The problem of food and clothing must be solved.
Zhou Wangshan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not raw food. The bacteria and evil poisons are destroyed as much as possible by the high temperature."
"And my Lord has given me precious medicines and injections created by the laws of medicine, which can greatly prevent immune diseases."
After hearing what he said, Zhou Ruoyu couldn't stand it any longer: "So it's edible?"
"...Eat less!" Zhou Wangshan could only bite the bullet and said.
After getting the answer, Zhou Ruoyu picked up the mutton and ate it in one bite. The smell of complex spices made him frown, but he could still accept it.
But after chewing for a while, the sound of "kacha, kacha" could be heard faintly.
"Ah, bah bah bah."
He spat out loudly.
It shocked a few people who had not yet had time to act.
The dignitaries and waiters at the table were also startled. Some people immediately knelt down and shouted something.
"Poisonous?" Zhou Wangshan was nervous.
If something goes wrong with eating, he will be the first to bear the responsibility.
"Fart poison, this bitter salt is full of debris." Zhou Ruoyu pinched a turbid white flake and showed it to everyone.
After Tiaoyu took it, he smiled bitterly: "They probably don't know how to create things from salt. They can only collect natural semi-finished products from salt lakes and salt mines like we did before."
"It may be roughly processed, but it must not be purified."
He got up and came to the center of the hall.
The salt that our Lord blessed creation has been put in clay pots by them, but it is still standing there and they dare not use it at will.
The same goes for gold.
With all eyes focused on it, Dingyu grabbed a handful of salt from the salt shaker, then walked to the place where the lamb was roasting outside the temple and sprinkled it.
Then he pointed at their large piece of bitter salt and waved his hand.
Everyone was panicked by this series of situations and could not quite understand its meaning.
However, following Zhou Ruonan's teaching example earlier, Tiaoyu followed suit and cut off a piece of lamb meat and sent it to the old king Lu Baan.
"eat!"
"Don't eat."
The lamb mixed with bitter salt and the lamb with table salt were put together. After he winked, the old king finally understood.
He tried a bite, savored it carefully, and his face lit up——
"This salt is not bitter, and there is no gravel mixed in!"
"Salt given by God is the purest thing in the world!"
See their looks of surprise.
Jumping fish will tell you that they understand.
He picked up another jar of salt and put it on the grilling place, indicating to them to use it to cook food.
things.
At this point, the banquet really begins.
Due to the language barrier, everyone only laughed awkwardly to warm up the atmosphere, and the atmosphere was extremely weird.
At the same time, they also whispered to each other, speaking in languages that each other did not understand.
Zhou Ruonan said: "What should we do next? Wait for my Lord and the Shaman to come? But after my Lord leaves, the time of his arrival is often uncertain."
Tiaoyu said: "My Lord once said that the Ming Dynasty fleet will arrive within these three months. At least we can be sure that our Lord will return within three months."
"We can take this opportunity to teach the prince the rules of language, and at the same time travel around the city to increase our knowledge."
"We are among the very few in the kingdom of God who are allowed to follow the glory of our Lord. Naturally, we cannot let go of this precious opportunity to appreciate the knowledge of the old land."
Zhou Yusheng, who rarely spoke, said, "Can the four of us go to the coast and see their ships?"
Another member of the ship research team said: "Yes, when we entered the city today, we saw the prosperity of the coastline in the sky."
Tiaoyu was silent for half a second, then nodded: "Yes!"
"Although we don't understand the language, if we leave the palace, they should send someone to follow us. But every time we leave the palace, we must agree on a meeting time, and no one will delay!"
"Check the time again."
Hear this.
Everyone stretches out their arms to reveal a mechanical watch.
Yesterday evening, they calibrated the latest East African time to cater for the ebb and flow of the sun and the moon.
"."
"Me too!"
"Don't forget to wind up every night."
"good!"
The other side.
Lu Baan also called his son Qiaolan, "Has there been any reply from the people you sent?"
Qiao Lan shook his head: "Not yet, but the merchant station in the city is very close. I guess I will get something after the banquet."
"As for the survivors of the "Polk Dot Disaster", we still need to send people to distant tribes to find them!"
"Father, I have offered heavy rewards to all the major slave traders. If I can find one of them, I will give you 10 gold!"
Lu Baan smiled bitterly: "Who would have thought that originally it was the source of disaster that even slaves could not do, but now it is worth 10 gold?"
If you see a slave with dots on its body, merchants from the north will not take a glance at it because it represents misfortune.
When Qiaolan heard this, he said fiercely: "Father, don't underestimate the will of the true God!"
"Since the true God has sent down a test, we should obey it unconditionally!"
"What's more, you also know that the survivors of the source of disaster are not absolute people in disaster..."
"In ancient times, the great Lord of the Nile was also affected by the "disaster of polka dots", but he survived the disaster and became the chosen one!"
"Now, the True God of Balance has come, but he is looking for the survivors of the "Polk Dot Disaster". Isn't it the same as the ancient legend?"
Lu Baan shook his head: "You don't want to say that I, Malindi, will give birth to a noble being comparable to the ancient pharaohs? Besides, I am just sighing, how can I really judge God's will?"
Qiao Lan added: "Even if that person really achieves something in the future, don't forget that we are the first people to witness the coming of the True God. As long as we go through the test of the True God, the True God will definitely give us grace."
"Malindi has always been weaker than Mogadishu in the north. In the early years, it was oppressed by the Lord of Kilwa in the south. Why can he be called the Lord of the Coast?"
"If we receive the gift of the true God, it is possible for us to take our place!"
Having said this, he looked at the hills of gold and salt piled in the center of the hall.
Although they dare not use it easily now, this miracle of creation has shown the supreme power of the true God.
Even if the true God no longer gives grace.
With just this much gold, a large number of war horses can be purchased, hundreds of knights can be trained, and combat effectiveness can be greatly improved.
Lu Baan showed a pleased smile: "Jolan, my son, you never disappoint me!"
Qiao Lan was not arrogant, and said: "In addition, father...the True God of Balance is looking for
The merchants and travelers who have set foot in the East must have done it because of the third will!"
"If that great eastern country can really sail across the ocean, how can it do it if it doesn't understand the language of Qin?"
"We have completed the test and won the favor of the true god. Maybe we can also promote business relations with Qin..."
"The porcelain and silk from the East are extremely precious."
The father and son talked freely and seemed to have a glimpse of Malindi's future prosperity.
However.
Don't wait for the banquet to end.
Someone stepped outside the hall to deliver a message.
At the same time, it attracted the attention of Tiaoyu and others.
Not long after, a skinny man in his 50s or 60s was brought in and knelt down in the hall.
Qiao Lan said: "Are you Shaka? Have you ever been to that distant Qin?"
The man named Gaza said: "No, I have never been to Qin. Qin has been destroyed long ago, and the "Yuan cavalry" conquered the land in all directions!"
"When that invincible cavalry set foot on my hometown, my father became a servant of a general. Later, he moved here because he was traveling on the trade route for the general, but he had no way back."
"Yuan? What Yuan!" Qiao Lan mumbled, "Since you have never been to Qin, why were you brought into the palace?"
Gaza said: "I can speak Qin's language, because the Yuan people can also speak Qin's language! They have a high opinion of Qin's culture."
There was a sudden commotion during the banquet.
It aroused Tiaoyu and others to be extremely curious, but they were unable to communicate and inquire.
Qiaolan pondered, not daring to make any judgment lightly, but Lu Baan suddenly said: "Do you know what the true god will come to do today?"
"I know!"
Lu Ba'en said again: "Then you have to understand that the person you are looking for to understand the Qin language is not us, but the supreme true God!"
"Do you know the cost of deceiving the true God?"
The skinny old man trembled with fear, but his voice was firm: "I will never dare to deceive the true God, the Lord of Malindi!"
Hear this.
The father and son looked at each other with peace of mind.
But they could not explain the situation to the messenger of God, so they could only say to Nagasha: "Okay, then you must first meet the messenger and servant of the true God!"
"When the true God comes again, you will be able to see the glory of the true God!"
Gaza was ecstatic, with tears in their eyes.
As he said, he is not from Malindi. He came with his father on the trade route when he was a boy, but he encountered bandits on the way.
The so-called not knowing the way back actually meant that his father did not dare to go back.
The cruelty of the Yuan people is frightening, and they have lost a lot of property. How can they return?
Finally drifted here.
By now, his father has passed away.
However, he relied on what he had seen and heard in his youth and the languages from different places to help the merchant groups and fleets arriving from afar.
If he could see the glory of the true God, he would probably turn over and become a noble.
at this time.
Before Gaza dared to raise his head, he first had to meet the palace dignitaries, and then recognized the Lord of Malindi, Lubaan, and the prince, Jolan.
But they found that the two kings of the kingdom were sitting at the second table.
The real leader is someone else.
His mind was active, and he immediately thought that the person in charge was the messenger and servant of the true God.
Gaza prostrated himself forward before making a formal kneeling posture and kowtow: "Worship the messenger of the great true God. Gaza is willing to dedicate everything to the true God."
This situation.
Everyone in the palace looked high at Gaza.
Although the news of the coming of the true God has spread throughout the city, the name "Balance" is not yet certain in the hearts of the people and they do not know its meaning.
But what about Gaza?
When you see the messenger of God, you only talk about the true God and do not mention "Allah". It can be said that there is no leakage.
Of course Tiaoyu and others could not understand his words.
However, this ceremony of kneeling down is obviously to worship the true God...
Zhou Ruonan's childish voice pretended to be majestic:
"Get up!"
After hearing this, Gaza became even more ecstatic and stood up.
But just as he stood still...
He suddenly froze.
"Get up...come...!
"
"????"
He stood up subconsciously because of those words, and only two seconds later did he suddenly realize the problem.
The person speaking was not a Swahili language, nor was it Arabic or any African Semitic language.
Swish.
Gaza suddenly raised his head, and at the table in front of him, more than a dozen teenagers appeared in front of him.
"ah--"
Gaza exclaimed, his body became even more unstable, he stumbled backwards, and finally fell to the ground.
Even though he fell to the ground, he still kicked his legs in fear and kept retreating. He subconsciously raised his hand and pointed at everyone——
"Yuan!
"
"You, you are Yuan people!
"
Gaza shouted with determination because he could not admit his mistake.
When he was young, he served the Yuan Lord with his father, and there were occasionally real Qin people in the Yuan people's military tents.
The appearance of the Qin people and the Yuan Lord are different.
The faces of the Qin people have smoother edges and corners, while the faces of the Yuan people are one-third close to the Western appearance, and another three-thirds different from the Qin people's rough appearance, and then they are similar to the Qin people, but different from the West.
at the same time.
Tiaoyu and others also stood up abruptly.
Because they understood the call of this skinny old man——
"Yuan Ren? We are Yuan Ren..."
"Wait a minute!"
"He actually knows the rules of Chinese language?"
"Did I hear that correctly?"
Several people are asking for certificates.
Nagasha changed into obscure indigenous language again: "No, no, no, this is impossible!"
"I once heard merchants coming from afar say that the Yuan Dynasty has been destroyed!"
"Why did Yuan Ren appear in this distant place!
"
Gaza seems like a crazy man, talking to himself alone.
And the hall was already agitated.
Qiao Lan almost jumped out, pulled out the magic weapon dagger he had just received as a gift, and shouted loudly——
"You lowly slave!"
"How dare you offend the envoy of God?"
"Go to hell!"
Jolan was about to stab the dagger down.
Gaza finally came back to his senses, but the dagger was already in front of him, and he closed his eyes in fear.
But I heard a call like a savior——
"stop!"
The jumping fish shouted and actually stepped out in one step.
Because of this shout, Qiao Lan's movements were delayed for a second;
Tiaoyu, who had gone on an expedition with the army, was not a mediocre man. He knocked the dagger out of Qiao Lan's hand with just one blow to his wrist.
He also used the combat skills my lord had taught him in the cavalry army to perform a back throw.
Bang!
Qiao Lan's body was suddenly overturned and fell to the ground.
The sudden situation caught everyone by surprise.
Some of the palace guards had subconsciously drawn their swords.
But at this moment.
Zhou Yusheng and others also moved.
They all stood up and shouted loudly——
"Are you going to be the enemy of Kokusai?!"
"Those who disobey the balance will be annihilated by divine punishment...and your kingdom will be reduced to ashes!
"
Everyone in the palace did not understand the laws of language, but they could see the anger of the divine envoys.
Qiao Lan, who was thrown to the ground, waved his hands anxiously even though he was in unbearable pain and could not speak.
At this point, the old king Lu Baen finally came to his senses and shouted angrily: "Throw your long knife on the ground!"
"Anyone who violates the majesty of the gods will be exterminated and his whole family will be exterminated, and his flesh and blood body will be exposed to the scorching sun until
He turned into a human being and was eaten by the seabird vulture and died!"
Bang bang bang bang.
As soon as the weapons fell to the ground, the guards all knelt down.
And Qiao Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and knelt down, praying for forgiveness.
But at this time, Tiaoyu and others had no time to pay attention to him.
But it surrounded Gaza.
Jumping Fish stared at him and said, "Can you understand what we are saying? Can you also speak the language of equilibrium?"
Gaza was also shaken by the scene just now and lost its consciousness.
"Answer me! Do you understand what we are saying?"
Gaza suddenly woke up and nodded repeatedly——
"I, I understand! I understand!"
"Why do you understand?"
"Why...I, my father was once a slave of the general of the "Great Yuan Kingdom"; we serve the Yuan people as our masters!"
"Great Yuan Kingdom?" Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.
Except for Zhou Ruoyu, Zhou Ruonan and Zhou Yusheng, the others are all monks on Temple Mount.
In order to break through the shackles of the Great Perfection of Laws, in addition to the five major laws, the laws of history must also be understood——
Tiaoyu immediately took a breath, looked at the crowd and said, "Before the Ming Dynasty... it was for the Great Yuan!"
"A dynasty established to unify the nomadic clans in the north!"
