Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 256 [255] I am the bowl! !

The day after the mission's celebration banquet.

The news spread throughout the entire capital.

It has long been known that the mission returned after asking for peace, and the existence of the celebration banquet is the final conclusion for this matter.

The last bit of fear in people's hearts finally dissipated.

On this day, the envoys of the city-states also visited Tezomok one after another, received the king's order from the Lord of the Valley, and delivered it to the cities.

The blockade of cities can be lifted.

Only set up a pass on the main commercial road in the north.

This is done for the sake of safety, if there are people from Kema City, they will still be strictly controlled and not allowed to enter the city.

If you want to take away your relatives, you can, but someone must send a letter for him.

At the same time, the commercial route between the valley and the north will be completely cut off.

Because the message brought back by the mission is clear.

In addition to the tens of thousands of people in Kema City, more than [-] people from various tribes in the North will also make a pilgrimage to Balance.

The North will be empty.

Perhaps in the future, there will be valley people who will continue to migrate and reproduce.

But that was already an extremely distant future, at least in the past ten years, no one would be willing to set foot in Kema City, which had suffered God's punishment.

The word "balance" will gradually become taboo.

Even if the city-states must worship the Lord of Equilibrium, the people in their hearts are more afraid of this true God than they have any worship belief.

It is enough to do the work on face.

At last.

There's another piece of news floating around—

"The eldest prince will succeed."

Tezuzomok couldn't go back on his word, so at the banquet last night, he solemnly announced that after the overall situation in the valley stabilized, he would start the succession of the kingship.

This is exactly what Loboda expected.

The threat of the army of judgment has not been completely eliminated, and Tezomok will not release his authority easily.

And even if he succeeds to the throne, he is like a puppet.

Just look at the expressions of the two younger brothers when they heard about the succession to the throne.

When the old lord announced the succession, the first reaction of the two was neither congratulations nor jealousy.

They didn't even look at Loboda, but looked at each other, tit for tat...

In the eyes of the two, the eldest prince's succession to the throne is just too much.

The real battle for royal power will start under their hands.

noon.

After eating, Dedege and Loboda took out the "Pinyin Alphabet" and began to practice the profound meaning of the law.

Language law is the foundation of Dao.

If you don't know the language of God, how can you practice other laws?
Dedege is now Loboda's teacher. He has mastered the ability to spell and read. Holding a book of "Balanced Book" with phonetic notation, he can read aloud stumbled, but he doesn't know the meaning of those characters.

Literacy is a process.

However, when the practice was about to start, Dedege was taken aback suddenly, and whispered: "Your Highness, we will leave late at night tomorrow, why are you not ready?"

Loboda laughed and said, "What are you preparing for? Packing your bags with great fanfare? Sending the will of balance to my relatives?"

He looked around: "Our every move will be reported to the king, how can we be so unscrupulous?"

De Dege asked: "Then there is only a haste to hit the road?"

Loboda nodded: "My wife died early. I have five children, but now they are all married. The only ones closest to me are my two little grandchildren. They are not favored by their parents and live in my palace."

"Just take them with you when the time comes. I know that my way of judgment lies with the Aztecs; but in the country of Tepanix, I can only do what I can."

"After all, God's punishment can't make the world vigilant, see through this falsehood, and willingly fall into it..."

"How can I wake up my family and relatives?"

"Only the two little grandsons are still mud on the ground."

De Dege was at a loss: "The mud on the ground?"

Loboda said: "They have not been shaped into cups and bowls! Then when the glory of balance shines, they can have infinite possibilities."

After that, Loboda saw Dedege lowered his eyebrows, and he laughed again: "Are you questioning yourself? You are already like a bowl?"

Seeing that he was exposed, De Dege couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know how to answer.

Loboda said again: "Even though you are already in the shape of a cup and bowl, my Lord has given you a new life. You will no longer be enslaved by others, and you will no longer have a master..."

"In other words, even if you are a bowl, you can decide what you want to fill."

"Some people pretend to be sweet springs to quench the thirst of travelers;"

"Someone is holding poison and killing others!"

"But as I, and as you once told me, your father..."

"We choose to use our own container to hold the 'balanced fire oil' and sprinkle it in all directions!"

"These days I was thinking, why my lord didn't let the army of judgment go south, and then I understood..."

"He gave the world the power to choose."

"This is the greatest grace He bestows on the world!"

"You can be evil and you can be good."

"But it will bear fruit!"

"It's not like today's bad land, where people don't have the right to choose! Slaves need to obey the orders of their masters, and masters need to obey the orders of people who are stronger than him."

De Dege subconsciously said: "But in Balance, the people also need to obey the orders of the envoy..."

Loboda laughed and said, "Are slaves willing to become slaves?"

"But I know that the people of Balance are willing to listen to His precepts."

"Because only by following His ways can we have a joyful life!"

"De Dege, you must know that oppressive control and teaching guidance are two different things."

Talk to here.

De Dege was already shocked, and couldn't help saying: "Your Highness, you are a wise man, a wise man comparable to a teacher and an angel!"

"Praise my lord, praise balance!"

Loboda also praised, and asked again: "Then, have you thought about what you want to put in?"

"I haven't figured it out yet..." Dedege hesitated, but his eyes were firm, "But I know, I will definitely find it!"

It was supposed to be Dedege's teaching of esoteric meaning to Loboda, but now it has become Loboda's teaching and enlightenment to Dedege.

The eldest prince has been immersed in academics for decades, so his vision and thinking are naturally not something this slave son can look down upon.

Therefore, the closer the eldest prince is to the realm of true knowledge, the clearer the way of balanced joy is, how precious it is.

Only in this way are we willing to abandon everything and accept this journey of judgment.

This is the grace bestowed by our Lord, which belongs to His own choice, and no one persecutes it.

By night.

The two were hungry and asked the waiter to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Loboda joked: "When I get to the balance, no one will serve me! Hahaha... It seems that I need to work harder if I want to wash away the sins in my heart."

De Dege said: "In equilibrium, no one wants to be served by others! Because everyone knows that the most delicious food is the food obtained by one's own labor!"

"you're right……"

But at this moment, roars and roars came from a distance, interrupting their conversation and laughter.

Loboda frowned and called the waiter: "Who is screaming?"

The waiter said: "It's the Seventeenth Prince! He's venting his anger! Not long after you left with the mission, something happened in the palace..."

"His Royal Highness Mengdaya disappeared, and the old lord was furious!"

Hearing this, Loboda was stunned, and asked after a while: "Tils has found the mission, tracked down the thieves, and blocked all the main roads. Mengdaya has not been found yet?"

The waiter looked outside, then suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, there are rumors that Princess Mengdaya eloped with a servant, and fled to Balance!"

"Because the servant is a citizen from the hill city and was enslaved in the garden official's mansion. The garden official's family has been sentenced to death earlier."

"You also know that Hill City has long surrendered to Balance."

Loboda looked at Dedege.

Dedege shook his head violently: "Impossible, if a newcomer arrives in Kema, they will make detailed records and enforce the health regulations! My teacher and I will be responsible for this."

"Although I don't know what a princess looks like, my teacher and I are very familiar with aristocratic temperament and manners!"

"After the trial in Kema City, no nobleman dared to step into Kema."

Loboda frowned: "There is no such person in my mission. How could I ignore Mengdaya? What's more, Tiers searched for a long time himself!"

The waiter smiled wryly: "I dare not inquire about specific matters, but the old lord has a will, and this matter must be kept secret!"

Loboda understood immediately.

The princess and the servants escaped without mentioning it, and they only surrendered to the balance, so they couldn't let the people know.

Now it is kept secret, and when it cannot be concealed, or when it is really impossible to find anyone, then a funeral will be held and the sentence will be death.

Even if Mengdaya reappears in the future, it will be obliterated.

The royal family cannot be shamed.

The heirs of the royal family have no right to choose.

"Oh, go down." Loboda took a sip of his wine bitterly, waved his hand to send the waiter away.

After that person left, he sighed quietly: "You are right, I can't stay in this evil land for a day!"

The next day.

Business as usual.

Although Dedege knew that it would be late at night and he would set off for the whole day, he didn't say a word about it, it was all up to Loboda's arrangement.

Even at night, he returned to his room and fell asleep peacefully.

It's just that under the closed eyes, there is restlessness in my heart.

Prince fled, things are not that simple.

And he didn't know the plan, only apprehensive.

Until late at night.

He seemed to have fallen asleep on the bed, but actually his whole body was trembling slightly, as if thousands of ants were biting and gnawing.

at last……

"Wow!"

"boom!"

There was the sound of muffled groans and falling to the ground, coming from outside the house.

Dedege's eyes opened suddenly, and at this moment, his door was pushed open, and Loboda's whispered voice came: "Quick, no need to change clothes, let's go now!"

Hearing the familiar voice, he almost jumped out of bed.

The whole day, he has been completing the mental construction, but now, he listens to the instructions, and the instinct of body awareness has completely replaced the thinking reaction.

Wearing only pajamas and robes, he came to the door.

Seeing that Loboda was also dressed in the same way, panting continuously, and holding a bloody dagger in his hand.

Blood dripped continuously from under the dagger.

It will soon be unstained, reflecting a frightening cold light.

De Dege recognized that this is the divine weapon bestowed by our Lord, and it is the standard equipment of the army of judgment.

But I didn't expect the teacher to give it to His Royal Highness.

Looking outside the door, the two waiters were already lying in a pool of blood, without a sound.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, did you kill them?"

Loboda breathed steadily, dragged him away, and said with a smile: "I am old, but when I was still young, I also expanded the territory for the kingdom!"

"Although my third younger brother has the military power, even if he fights against me now, he may not survive!"

De Dege trembled: "I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about...you, you committed a crime again!!"

Although De Dege was once Tugo's bodyguard, he never killed anyone; what's more, he has now surrendered to the equilibrium.

Seeing his mood swings, Loboda also stopped, turned around and said seriously: "De Dege, have you forgotten what I said to you yesterday?"

"What, what?"

"If I were a cup and bowl, what would I fill?"

De Dege said: "Balanced fire oil."

"Yes! I, your father, all the fire bearers, since we want to hold the fire oil and ignite a balanced fire, we will be scorched by the flames, and will be broken and annihilated at every turn!"

"I have committed a crime, but it is also a crime I am willing to bear!"

"People can be good or evil!"

"My Lord has given the world the opportunity to choose, so I am willing to bear the consequences of good or evil!"

"because……"

"Although I don't know what my future will be! Is it a balanced lamp, or is it broken into tiles..."

"But I know that the future of Equilibrium is infinitely bright!"

"I am not afraid of good and evil, and I am not afraid of consequences..."

"I'm not afraid of leaving a stigma!!"

"The fire passer is only to pass the fire of balance, only for balance!"

De Dege's eyes widened: "Is this what the teacher meant?"

"No, this is what I mean. Everyone is different. For example, I choose to belong to the equilibrium, but my relatives turn a blind eye to the equilibrium!"

"So, if I am a fire passer, I don't have to care about the will of other fire passers..."

"Because, our paths of judgment are different! Only the ultimate goal is to be consistent."

Speaking of it.

Loboda inspected the environment left and right, and then slapped Dedege's shoulder heavily, "There's no time! You need to discuss it with me. When we leave the palace capital... let's go!"

De Dege woke up suddenly, and then realized that the two were still in crisis.

The two set off again.

Speed ​​to the palace in the distance.

On the way, Loboda stabbed several waiters to death, and finally found his two grandsons.

"You carry this fat boy, and leave the thin one to me."

The two tied the child to their bodies with a sheet.

"Won't they be awakened?" asked De Deger.

Loboda's old face looked gloomy, "Today's dinner, I added herbs to their soup! It's enough to sleep for a day and a night!"

"you……"

"I know, I know, I committed a crime, but I am willing to bear the consequences! Keep going!"

They took their two children to the palace wall, pushed through the weeds, and saw a gap that had existed for a long time.

Loboda said: "This is the secret passage that I ran out of the palace when I was young. Besides me, there are also my two younger brothers who died early...the second and third princes who succeed me as princes don't know this place."

They untied the child, pushed out the hole, and then bent over and crawled out.

But beyond the wall, there are responders.

At this time, the aged Loboda was exhausted and out of breath, so he handed over the child to his cronies, and followed their lead to the secret road out of the city.

All went well.

But only De Dege knows about the danger here.

When they walked through the long tunnel, came outside the city, and breathed the cool air in the wilderness, everyone was really relieved.

The confidant waiter said: "Your Highness, our people have been stationed at the 'Duoduo River' and are waiting!"

"Where do we go next?"

Loboda said with a playful smile, "What do you think?"

The relative said: "I know what His Highness means, which is to surrender to Balance! That must be going to Nakema City! We have already made an oath to follow your footsteps to the death!"

Loboda shook his head: "It's true to surrender to the balance, but where to go, you guessed wrong! Let's go, go to the 'Duoduo River' first!"

De Deger has been watching.

His heart gradually settled down, because he had heard what Loboda wanted to express.

Even these cronies of the dead men don't know that they will eventually go to the city of the lake.

Then even if something happened in the palace behind him, Tezuzomok would never think of their destination!
The city in the lake has long been forgotten by everyone!

But that is the only pure land that flickers the fire of balance in the darkness of the evil land of the valley.
