Chapter 270 [269] Piercing the falsehood

Gaza said yesterday that the three sons have learned very little.

To today.

Everyone knows how honest Gaza is.

Nono, Aziz and Katard can only say simple "yes, yes, no, yes"!
If you encounter a sentence with a complicated structure, you can't even understand it.

But even so, there are three more guides.

After breakfast.

Zhou Ruonan stayed in the court and taught Qiaolan "Laws of Language" with Adina.

Originally, he mainly taught the prince, but after having Adina, Zhou Ruonan became more energetic and started to learn the pinyin alphabet from scratch.

Adina already knows how to pronounce many phrases, and it is easy to learn.

The prince was tortured to death by the pronunciation of finals and initials. How much he can learn depends on his own efforts.

The rest of them will go out of the palace with Gaza.

Finally divided into four groups.

Tiaoyu said: "Zhou Yusheng and the others are going to the coast to see the fishing boats, we will follow to see the boats, and then we will visit the city separately."

Among the team on this trip, only Zhou Yusheng's ship research team took the task.

Although the Deming Fleet did not come, Malindi's fishing operations are much higher than the current technical level of the people of Balance.

The three cities on the coast of East Africa have always maintained trade relations.

Among them, "Kilwa" in the south is the most powerful, known as the king of the sea in East Africa.

200 years ago, they belonged to the Persian royal family, and they fled here because of the failure of the royal power struggle.

Build a city in the "Kilwa" village built by the aborigines.

Because of its connections in the Arab world, it has attracted a large number of merchants and travelers, and has risen rapidly.

Now there are sailing ships with masts that can carry dozens of people and sail offshore.

"What's so good about a fishing boat? When the big Ming treasure ship arrives, it will be the pinnacle of technology in the world today!"

Zhou Ruoyu lacked interest, and said to Gaza: "I saw that there are camels carrying loads in the city, and there are warriors riding camels, maybe let me go and see the camel farm?"

Jumping fish was a little annoyed.

Without Wu, no one really can control this guy.

Seeing that he was about to explode, Zhou Wangshan came out again to smooth things over: "If Yu is not interested in ships, then why not go and see what he is interested in, and you can gain more!"

"There are many creatures in the old land that Kinkou never had. This trip should also be recorded and brought back to the Kingdom of God to let the people know the vastness of the world."

"I can go with him."

Seeing someone responding to him, Zhou Ruoyu raised his chin, looking quite arrogant.

Tiaoyu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Then do this!"

Gaza only listened to the orders, and in the local language, first told his youngest son the whereabouts of the envoys, and then explained to the palace guards who followed them.

The palace guard immediately agreed.

Want to see a camel is not easy?
There's more to Malindi than camels.

All done.

The two groups set off separately.

Tiaoyu and others were led by Gaza and the other two sons to the port, while Zhou Wangshan and Zhou Ruoyu returned to the court.

Soon.

Zhou Ruonan and the prince saw the people who had just left and turned back.

Didn't wait to ask.

The palace guards and Zhou Ruoyu took the initiative to explain the reason.

"Your Highness, the envoy is very fond of the animal pets raised in the palace."

"Zhou Ruonan, stop imitating, let's go, I'll show you a camel, maybe you can ride it! A camel is much taller than a horse."

Zhou Ruonan shook his head: "I'm not going, I'm teaching now."

She has always liked to imitate the prudence of the witch and the chief, and now she has the opportunity to educate the people of the old land, and she wants to perform well.

Probably the class monitor of the class of later generations who was assigned the task of tutoring poor students by the teacher.

But Jolan couldn't sit still.

This divine language is too difficult to learn.

I thought it would be good to just follow along, but who knows there are still many letters and symbols to memorize and write silently.

Look at Zhou Ruoyu and Zhou Ruonan again.

The former is obviously more to his liking.

Qiao Lan looked at Katard: "You tell the envoy for me, I will personally take this envoy to watch and cherish the animal pets."

Katard's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Fortunately, there was a daughter who came to the rescue, and she said to Zhou Ruonan in a childish voice, "Sister, Your Highness wants...to be with them."

Zhou Ruonan felt disappointed for a moment, and finally understood the chief's feelings of "hating iron but not steel".

Then he waved his hand: "Go, go, if you miss today, I won't teach you! When Adina learns it, I will pass it on to Gaza and you."

Adina said to the prince: "Adina will work hard to learn the language of God, and teach it to you and grandpa in the future."

Qiao Lan smiled apologetically at Zhou Ruonan after hearing this.

You can learn God's language at any time, anyway, Gaza is still there, and now he has three more sons, and such a granddaughter.

Instead of spending a long time doing nothing, it is better to do what you like and win the favor of the envoy.

After several people left.

Only Zhou Ruonan and Adina were left.

But Zhou Ruonan didn't stay for long, he picked up his backpack, which contained the precious "Holy Artifact of Light and Shadow", and then pulled Adina and said, "Let's go, let's go to the palace hall to study..."

"Although we don't know when our lord and witch will come, there must always be someone waiting."

When the two left the courtyard, guards and attendants followed.

After explaining for a long time, Adina was asked to explain the reason clearly, and the guard hurriedly went to inform the king.

And Lu Baen had already closed the main hall for the use of the gods, and also placed many sacrifices.

One big and one small enter the hall, sit on the balcony with the best lighting and continue to practice the profound meaning of the law.

The palace was built on a high hill, and from this position, one can overlook the panoramic view of the city and the magnificent sea.

Before I knew it, I studied for more than three hours.

It wasn't until the waiter brought the food that Zhou Ruonan remembered to glance at his watch, it was already noon.

She looked at Adina in surprise.

From the beginning to the end, Adina behaved well-behaved, immersed in her studies without complaining, and she is only 5 years old now.

Zhou Ruonan closed the secret scroll, "Okay, let's learn this today, let's have lunch first."

As the waiter prepared the meals, the two ate on the high-altitude balcony.

Zhou Ruonan asked some more about Adina. Although she was stumbling, she could express herself clearly.

He also mentioned the story of his grandfather Gaza, which is indistinguishable from Gaza's self-report yesterday.

After the meal, Zhou Ruonan looked at the city in a daze, and then turned his head to look at the empty hall, feeling a little eager to try.

She is only ten years old this year, so how can she be free.

Zhou Ruoyu ran to see the beast pet, but never came back, maybe he had a lot of fun.

And it must be great fun for Tiaoyu and others to tour the city.

She said, "Adina, where is your home?"

Adina also looked down the mountain, and finally found the direction: "In that street market, my house is too small, so I can't see it from here."

Zhou Ruonan became interested: "Then go out of the palace to have a look."

Unexpectedly, Adina grabbed her hand: "It's very dirty and dangerous...Grandpa said that even if it's daytime, you can't go to the street to play alone."

"With me here, who would dare to do anything wrong?"

Zhou Ruonan pulled her away, and told the guards to go around the city, and they immediately sent people to follow the guards.

Although Zhou Ruonan and Zhou Ruoyu are very young, they are still children.

But no one in the court dared to underestimate it.

The younger they are, the more they can follow the true gods to patrol the land, and it will show how impressive they are.

What's more, it's easier to please children.

Come to the city.

Zhou Ruonan saw novelties everywhere, and there were vendors hawking them, which made her move her index finger.

But she restrained herself.

Remember our lord's sanitation regulations, and try to eat as little as possible of old-fashioned food.

But Adina didn't have to hold back. Seeing her bright eyes, Zhou Ruonan pointed to the booth.

Basically, without translation, the guard knew that the two little guys were hungry.

Walk around and come to Adina's home.

As soon as she entered the door, Adina trotted up the stairs. On the stairs, she turned her head and shouted enthusiastically: "Sister, come quickly! I will show you to see your mother."

Zhou Ruonan chuckled, and gradually followed, acting like a "little adult".

But just arrived at the platform on the second floor.

Her expression became a little tense.

I saw a few women and children sitting cross-legged on the ground, eating something.

Flies flew around the food, but they turned a blind eye.

And Adina took out a piece of mutton from her beautiful gown and put it on the mushy dinner plate, obviously to share with her family.

Zhou Ruonan froze in place.

It also attracted people's attention.

It can be seen that this girl with a skin color that is obviously different from theirs and has a good temperament, all those women bowed down.

Adina turned around and realized that her sister's expression was wrong.

She lowered her head like a child who has done something wrong: "Sister, I didn't intend to steal the meat, but the lunch at noon was so delicious, I want to keep it for grandpa."

"Now when I go home, I also want to feed my mother and brothers."

Only then did Zhou Ruonan realize that his expression was too serious, and he smiled lightly, but became trembling: "You...Adina, do you usually eat these?"

"But this food is full of flies."

Adina thought for a while before she realized what the flies meant, and said, "Sister, these bugs can't eat much, so it doesn't matter!"

I'm not saying that flies will compete with you for food.

I mean, under this hygienic condition, you will be infected with the disease! !
But she couldn't explain it all to Adina.

I only recalled "Balanced Book: Chronicle Four" in my heart——

Equilibrium for 4 years.

Our Lord and the Witch come to the No. 9 city, the land of the Ma clan; unveil the curtain of the first expedition of Balance.

My lord and the witch felt something at night, and sighed: "Not everyone is born in a 'balanced' state, but the earth is miserable..."

Zhou Ruonan used to not understand these principles.

But when she witnessed the scene of this prosperous city in the old land, she really realized it.

She is about the same age as Adina.

But because he was born in balance, he has no worries about food and clothing, and he has been enlightened by the profound meaning of the law.

And Adina was born in the Kingdom of Malindi.

It seems to be more prosperous than any major city in Equilibrium, but the people in the city eat unclean and dirty food.

"Some people are born in equilibrium, while others are born in the old land..."

Zhou Ruonan came back to his senses and asked those women and children to get up.

After thinking about it, she took out the sacred artifact of light and shadow, and recorded the appearance of this family and Adina...

My lord once ordered that the recording time of the Light and Shadow Hallows is limited, so don't open them lightly.

But now Zhou Ruonan thinks...

This real scene must be recorded, and only when they return to the Kingdom of God can the people know what a great grace the joy they are living in now is.

Therefore, to live up to the expectations of our Lord, forge ahead.

Let the glory of balance sprinkle the earth.

Dispel all misery and barrenness.

After about an hour.

The two leave.

Before leaving, Zhou Ruonan asked the guards to leave some money for the family; because she had already discovered that the snacks and food exchanged along the way used money as the medium of exchange.

The guards had known that Gaza's family would rise to the top in one step, and would soon move into a mansion and become nobles.

But now he still obeys the will of God and left money.

At the same time, leave your own name.

It is convenient to build a relationship with "Master Gaza" in the future.

on the way home.

Zhou Ruonan also photographed many scenes of suffering in the city.

There are beggars lying in the streets;
There are slaves tied around the neck with straw ropes and treated like dogs;

There are also little girls like Adina, who are messy and hungry, as if they are about to be blown down by a gust of wind.

At this time, when she pulled Adina's arm again, she found that the skin bone was a little tight.

Adina was very smart, and realized that she was wrong: "Is my sister not liking Adina? Because Adina made a mistake!"

"Sister, please punish Adina. Adina promised grandpa that if she wants to serve you, she must not displease you."

Adina raised her head, pretending to cry.

Zhou Ruonan sighed, picked her up, and kissed her hard: "Adina, will you come back to the Kingdom of God with me in the future?"

"There are endless delicious food, beautiful clothes, and friendly people!"

"When my lord and the witch come, I will send out a prayer..."

"My lord was going to give me a gift, and I have already thought about what kind of gift I want, but now..."

"I would like to bestow this gift on you!"

Adina was a little dazed by the kiss, she knew that only those who really loved her would do this: "Sister, I am willing to go, I also like my sister..."

She followed Zhou Ruonan's example and kissed her.

Only then did Zhou Ruonan put her down.

But he was thinking in his heart, how to get Gaza to persuade Adina to go with him, after all...

When you go to the Kingdom of God, you have to say goodbye to your family.

The two returned to the palace courtyard.

Tiaoyu, Zhou Ruoyu and others have all returned.

Everyone seemed eager, discussing what they had seen and heard today.

Zhou Yusuo excitedly said that the big ship's building technology had already proven its tricks, and it could be placed after returning.

Some people say that Fang City is lively.

The most enthusiastic one was Zhou Ruoyu, who said something astonishing——

"It's a pity that you didn't come with me today!"

"In the palace of this kingdom, there are 'bami deer' and 'elephant'!"

"The elephant is the mount of the king and the prince, and I have been riding it for a long time! You don't know how majestic it is!"

Everyone exclaimed: "Can the palace keep giraffes?"

"An elephant as a mount? How is this possible!"

Zhou Ruoyu said: "Horses can be used as mounts, why not elephants! I have made an agreement with the prince, we will go tomorrow, everyone can ride elephants!"

A group of people are eager to try.

Only Zhou Wangshan noticed something was wrong with Zhou Ruonan, "Ruonan, what's wrong with you? We only heard when we came back that you have entered the city too?"

Zhou Ruonan didn't speak.

He only took out the "Holy Artifact of Light and Shadow", and took out the operating manual of the Holy Artifact, and brought up the playback screen.

Everyone gathered around the small screen to watch.

"This is Adina? And her family!"

"What are they eating... My lord, why are there so many flies in this meal!"

Back to Street View.

"This man's arms and legs were broken because he was weak. Why did no one around him pay attention to his begging and extend a helping hand to him?"

"In the Kingdom of God, it is glory for the strong to take care of the weak!"

"Slaves in this city seem to be the norm, allowed by the order..."

Scenes are presented.

The excitement just now cooled down.

After the screen was played, Zhou Ruonan said: "My lord took us to inspect the old land, not only to recognize the strength of the kingdom of God and learn the advantages of the old land, but also to let us... see through the falsehoods of the world, so as not to fall and get lost! "

"Today I know the meaning of the proverb that my Lord said back then—"

"Someone is born in equilibrium!!"

boom.

Everyone's minds went blank, and goosebumps arose all over their bodies.

After a long time, Tiaoyu said with shame: "I'm not as good as Ruonan, she sees the falsehood in the world, but we are immersed in the joy of sightseeing... This is lost."

"From tomorrow, when we go to see everything in that city, everyone needs to write a piece of 'Travel impression', the number of words should not be less than 3000 words!"

"Finally compiled into a volume, it will be published as textbooks for colleges in each city after returning to the Kingdom of God!"

Everyone's will resonated with one voice——

"Praise the Lord, praise the balance;"

"Equilibrium lies in..."

late at night.

Adina returned to the temporary residence in the palace with her father and grandfather.

Several people talked about today's events and celebrated because they made the envoys happy.

Finally, Gaza looked at Adina again: "Adina, what did you do today?"

"I'm going home!" Adina told what happened today, and then said that Zhou Ruonan kissed herself, "My sister said, I want to take Adina back to the Kingdom of God, where there are countless delicacies, beautiful clothes ..."

when she dreamed;
Her father and two uncles are already in ecstasy——

"Adina is favored by the envoy of God, she wants to follow the true God!!"

"Father, your wish has come true! Adina will be the pillar of our family when she returns from now on!"

However, Gaza is not happy...

Originally, this was his own attention.

But when the inexplicable goal was achieved, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

If Adina were to leave, when she came back, her grandparents and grandchildren would be gone forever.

But he still wiped away his tears and hugged Adina tightly: "Okay, Adina, you have to listen to that sister, and when you meet true gods and witches in the future, you must also please them!"

"When you return from the Kingdom of God, bring your favorite food and give it to grandpa to taste..."

Adina nodded happily: "Grandpa, Adina promises!!"
