Tzozomoke is like a cat. Trying to show off its little claws in front of the lion king will only make people feel funny.
And when the countenance of our true Lord God is as frost;
The three of them who were His followers, in this old African land that was already experiencing scorching summer heat, all felt an icy coldness sweeping through their bodies.
Even the Snow Maiden rarely sees such an expression on her master's face, and whenever the true God is angry, there will be real divine punishment -
Just as the Tushi Tribe plundered the small tribe and killed the witch and the clan leader, Missing Tooth, the divine punishment of thunder washed over the Tushi Valley.
For example, the Modoc people disobeyed the will of balance and were almost abandoned by our Lord.
For example, when the Aztecs offered sacrifices to false gods, divine flames would burn the monarch.
No matter what happens now.
The Snow Girl all knows that those who offend the True God will pay a price they cannot bear.
Adina was a little scared, her frail little body trembling.
Zhou Ruonan put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't be afraid, my Lord is coming somewhere in the world... He is not angry with us."
Also at this time.
Zhou Li'an opened his eyes, grim and restrained.
Seeing the timid Adina, she smiled again and reached out to rub her head: "Are you afraid of me?"
Adina didn't know how to answer, but her subconscious reaction made her chin slightly click twice.
Xue Nu and Zhou Ruonan were shocked when they saw this scene.
But he didn't wait for them to speak.
Zhou Li'an said: "Then did you do something wrong?"
Adina shook her head.
"Yes, since you haven't done anything wrong, why are you afraid of me?"
Zhou Li'an pinched her cheek and told her in Swahili language——
"Adina, you must remember;"
"As long as you firmly believe in me, you don't have to be afraid of me!"
"For my majesty and authority are your refuge;"
"My monstrous divine flames of wrath are the torture of your enemies;"
"If one day I see you angry, I will be angry because of the reason for your anger, because you are my people, and I will punish that person with divine punishment;"
Xue Nu and Zhou Ruonan could not understand the native's words, so they only looked at Adina nervously, worried that she might make a mistake at such a young age.
But soon, their worries were put aside.
I saw Adina's expression relaxed, a little enlightened, a little confused: "My Lord, are you angry because your people have suffered?"
Zhou Li'an was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes."
"Then Adina will be angry with you!" She puffed up her little face, pretending to be angry, "Those who make my Lord angry are all bad people!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Zhou Li'an laughed and rubbed the little girl's head hard several times.
Such a scene also made Xue Nu and Zhou Ruonan completely relax.
The snow girl even complained: "Master, you messed up the braid we just tied for Adina!"
"Hehehe..." Adina just smiled innocently.
After a while, several people sat around the table and started having breakfast.
Regarding the matter that made our Lord angry just now, neither Xue Nu nor Zhou Ruonan mentioned it again.
If it is something they should know, our Lord will naturally teach them; otherwise, there is no need to explore.
The one who spreads the fire is Mi Xin.
Even the snow girl doesn’t know.
The only people in the world who know about it are the few people who passed down the will from Quiztitco.
Including cow shit, Zhou Weiguo is the same.
Although they asked the great prince Loboda to go to the Aztec Lake City to save the people, Queztitco did it secretly when he gave him the name "Bringer of Fire".
After all, even Quiztitco was a sinner.
When Zhou Li'an gave him the divine edict, he had already told him——
I will protect you from your sins.
Because of this decree, Quiztitco, Tsipoche, and Loboda are special beings in the balanced system.
If we tell them about the changes in Lake City now, they need to involve the Fire Bearer.
Zhou Li'an wants to hold this secret card in his hand...
Whether it is used as a missionary in the future or as a secret "internal supervision and trial agency", it has unexpected effects.
The current balance is united, but when people from all over the world are included, it is hard to say whether it can still remain pure.
In America and Africa, people are quite simple.
Europe and Asia have experienced power games for thousands of years, and people's hearts are unpredictable;
Of course Zhou Li'an had to make arrangements in advance.
As for how to solve the dilemma of Lake City?
——Arrived!!
The city in the lake was blocked, and people like Shan Shan and others in Kema City did not know the news and could not rush to the rescue.
Even if one or two months later, they realized that it had been too long and headed south to the valley, the Aztecs would have died by then.
Therefore, "coming" is the simplest and fastest way.
But, not now!
The matter has come to this, since the plot has advanced to this juncture, it is better to continue to postpone it.
Survival from desperate situations is a masterpiece worthy of being recorded in history and passed down through the ages.
Like Moses opening the sea...
Of course Zhou Li'an can't sail the sea, but there is no big scene, the emotion and tension are well-done, and the effect presented will not be bad.
Therefore, equilibrium will not arrive until the last moment.
…
A group of four people took a day off in Mauritania.
Xue Nu and Zhou Ruonan taught Adina the rules of Chinese language and popularized some common sense principles for her.
They also saw that our Lord was beside them, creating things from time to time, and then causing the creatures to disappear out of thin air. He repeated this dozens of times throughout the day, but they did not understand the meaning.
The next day, July 13th.
Piper M600 sets sail again.
Flying over Mali, Guinea, and finally arriving in the modern "Ghana" region.
The territory of the original "Kingdom of Ghana" was in the area where the Mali Empire is now, and it was the predecessor that was destroyed by Mali. At its peak, Ghana's territory radiated throughout West Africa.
Today, only scattered tribal clans remain on the coast of Ghana, digging for gold locally and selling it to the Mali Empire and other places in exchange for needed supplies.
In later generations, Ghana became a landing point for the Portuguese, who plundered gold and traded slaves, and named the place the Gold Coast.
Three days later.
Head south to the Gabon region.
This place is already on a parallel line with Malindi in East Africa, crossing a straight line distance of 3,400 kilometers.
Even if you continue to South Africa, you can still reach Malindi in 10 hours.
As for Aztec trends.
Zhou Li'an is also paying attention all the time.
The total distance from Africa to China and the United States is 11,000 kilometers. If you fly continuously and rotate Piper M600 and Dash8, the time can be shortened to 24 hours.
Therefore, he set the advent threshold at 2 days.
Once it is discovered that the situation is not going well, we will set off two days in advance to ensure the survival of the Aztecs as much as possible.
besides.
Zhou Li'an also returned to the present world before taking a rest one night.
Call Barbara.
Barbara answered almost instantly, but first listened to the noisy ambient sounds around her, and said to her relatives and friends: "Oh, it's my boss... I'm going out for a moment..."
"Long vacation?"
"Please, my annual salary has just been doubled, and I have promised my boss that I will be on call whenever you want."
Zhou Li'an waited with a smile.
The vacation was granted to her last time because the trip to Africa would stay in equilibrium time and space for a long time.
Such a good tool person must of course balance work and rest and let her work for as many years as possible.
After the ambient sound faded, Zhou Li'an said, "Where are you?"
"Hawaii... I originally wanted to go to Europe, but I was afraid it would be too far and I wouldn't be able to make it back!"
"Boss, you know that my son is studying art in Europe, and we haven't seen him for a while."
Zhou Li'an said: "Go ahead. After you finish playing in Hawaii, you can fly to Europe and ask me to reimburse you for your travel expenses!"
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, go to Europe and find a few people for me, experts who are proficient in Old Spanish and Old English. Once you find them, ask them to report directly to Patricia. Patricia will understand what I mean."
Patricia has mastered Spanish, and English is her mother tongue.
But in the 15th century, English was not yet popular, and it still belongs to the category of Old English. The two are quite different.
The difference between ancient Spanish and modern Spanish is not that big. There are only differences in sentence structure, and there are only subtle differences in pronunciation. It is like two dialects, and they can communicate after getting used to it for a while.
After listening to the instructions, Barbara was extremely pleasantly surprised.
Just looking for someone, traveling at public expense, this kind of good thing is never too much.
"That's it, is there anything else?"
Zhou Li'an said: "The last thing can be done without you coming back..."
"Bombardier and de Havilland cheated us last time. Now I need to rent an additional Dash8. You ask them to complete the procedures and send it to Cayero Peninsula within 3 days!"
“3 days is the maximum time limit, in short the sooner the better!”
With one more aircraft, the cruising range will be increased. There is no need to replenish fuel after landing, and it can be directly replaced.
This is the point of contacting Barbara, and recruiting linguists is just a matter of course.
"3 days...I'll give it a try."
"It's not a trial, it must be done no matter what!"
"Okay, I get it!"
But only on the second night.
Zhou Li'an saw a dozen missed calls on his cell phone. After calling back, he learned that the plane had been delivered.
He called and asked for a speedboat to pick him up.
Unexpectedly, Juan, whom he had not seen for a long time, would land on the island in person. The two chatted for a while on the boat and then arrived at the airport.
A brand new Dash8 is parked in the hangar.
"The person who delivered the plane was very polite and said it was a new plane that rolled off the assembly line this year and he wanted to show you his good intentions."
"After the plane arrives, we will fill up the fuel for you in advance."
"But let me tell you, propeller planes are too slow. Why doesn't Mr. Zhou consider Gulfstream and Bombardier jets?"
"It's just personal interest," Zhou Li'an said, "Oh, by the way, how many drinks will I have with Cayero later?"
Juan was ecstatic: "That's great, I'll notify the manor now and ask them to prepare a banquet..."
Juan turned to make a phone call.
Zhou Li'an calmed down his expression and waved his hand...
The huge plane disappeared out of thin air, and the sound of system deductions sounded in my ears.
He walked out of the hangar. Just as Juan was about to come back, he was hugged by Zhou Li'an: "Let's go and have a drink."
"So soon? Don't look at that plane anymore?"
"Haha, haven't you already seen it?"
Juan felt baffled.
Just wait until the hilltop manor, have a few drinks, and the happy atmosphere will take over the high ground.
late at night.
Juan escorted Zhou Li'an to the pier and boarded the boat. It wasn't until the lights on the speedboat were blurred in the dark night that he turned around and prepared to leave.
But we have to board the sightseeing bus and go back.
Another car came quickly. After the driver stopped, he seemed to be frightened and stumbled over, breathing heavily——
"Mr. Juan, Mr. Juan..."
"What's the rush? Speak slowly!"
The man trembled and said: "I looked at the weather forecast and there was going to be heavy rain soon, so I wanted to close the hangar door..."
"But who would have expected that when I arrived at the hangar door, I found that... the propeller plane that had just been delivered was missing!"
"God, I'm so damned!"
"Then, I turned on the surveillance video and saw... saw..."
"What did you see?" Juan grabbed his collar.
The man said tremblingly: "It's Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou raised his hand, and the plane disappeared out of thin air!"
Plop.
As soon as Juan let go, the man fell to the ground.
"Sss." Juan himself gasped, "Salvador!"
He called his nephew who was sitting in the driver's seat.
Salvador also heard these words and his face became embarrassed.
"Come on, light a cigarette for each other."
El Salvador followed suit.
The man who fell to the ground was also sucking on a cigarette, as if this was the only way to contain the fear in his heart.
Until a cigarette burns out.
Huan said: "Can you promise me? Don't tell anyone about this!"
The man nodded fiercely: "Mr. Juan, I will definitely not tell anyone!"
"It would be great if you could promise me."
At the moment when the words fell.
Salvador took out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at the man.
"ah--"
"Mr. Juan, Hu..."
Bang!!!
The gunshot rang out and the man fell to the ground.
The shock and extreme confusion in his eyes were like sparks from cigarette butts on the ground, extinguishing little by little.
Juan got in the car and said calmly: "Go to the airport surveillance room! Destroy all the surveillance records!"
"Okay, uncle."
…
Equilibrium 14, July 17.
It has been more than twenty days since the true God came.
Malindi, which was originally the last of the three cities on the East African coast, has gradually reached unprecedented prosperity.
In the early morning, there was a gathering in the palace.
Everyone looked at the grand scene below the city and were all very happy.
"Businessmen from Kilwa and Mogadishu all came after hearing the news, wanting to worship the true God..."
"With this honor alone, Malindi can gradually become the true master of the coast!"
Someone else said: "What's more, we also have the promise of our true Lord God... that we will be given by grace!"
At this point, everyone became excited.
They had agreed to argue for many days without any result.
Some people want gold, because gold can strengthen soldiers and horses and enhance strength!
Some people say that the cost of raising war horses is too high. If there is a plague, they will all be destroyed, and countless weapons and armor will be needed.
They have heard the angel of God speak about the reputation of the army that balances the judgment of the Kingdom of God.
After comparison, the gods' envoys found that the quality of their armor and weapons was far inferior to that given by our Lord.
The dagger Qiao Lan got is the best proof.
That dagger cuts iron like clay, but it is the most basic standard equipment of the Kingdom of God.
The place was boiling again.
The old Luban suddenly said: "Everyone...my ancestor founded the Kingdom of Malindi, and who was the person who made the Kingdom truly prosperous?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then someone said: "It's you, my master, Lu Baan!"
The rest of the people also nodded in agreement, this achievement is obvious to all.
When the answer was finalized, Lubaan's expression suddenly became enthusiastic: "Then if I can live a long life, Malindi will also be immortal!"
"You said that, right?"
"!!!"
In an instant.
There was silence in the hall.
Some people looked enthusiastic, while others showed fear.
Vaguely, the crowd in the hall was divided into two groups;
One faction supports the country's leader Lu Baan.
The other faction is the supporters of Prince Qiaolan.
The king of the country is old and the inheritance has been decided for a long time, so they stood aside and made a big bet on the prince's side early on.
But now, Lu Baen's request for immortality has ruined their hopes, and the old king's ministers will also overwhelm them in power and status.
More importantly...
How could Prince Qiaolan endure it?
Fighting for royal power and turning father and son against each other are commonplace in the world;
Not to mention...
This is the grace of the gods, the road to immortality!!
Why should it be given to the king but not to the prince?
Qiao Lan's face turned red, as if angry or frightened.
But then he heard Lu Baen say: "My son, are you willing? Are you willing to let me, my old father, spend more time with you?"
Qiaolan gritted his teeth...
Then when I am old and old, I should be happy to say: Thank you, father, for seeing me through to the end? And then help me take good care of my wife and children?
The atmosphere in the palace was on the verge of collapse.
But at this moment, a different voice sounded——
"The master of the powerful Malindi Kingdom..."
"I hope you will listen to my advice——"
"You should ask your own spirit: Can what you devote to our Lord really be exchanged for the grace of 'immortal life'?"
"But if not, how will the true God react to your delusions and greed?"
These words can be said to be heartbreaking and go straight to the essence.
Let everyone clear the clouds and see the sun.
Qiao Lan gasped and reacted immediately——
"Wrath of God!!"
"If you offend God's wrath! Don't say grace, our Kingdom of Malindi will be ruined!"
"Father!! I can never see you do such evil things!"
A number of supporters also shouted——
"My lord, no! Don't let the kingdom be destroyed because of your greed and delusion!!"
