Solomon was also stunned, but his older brother's personality had always been like that, and keeping him around would only be a disaster.
That night, everyone warmly welcomed Lin Ye. The night was brightly lit, and as you watched Lin Ye surrounded by the crowd, you felt that the excitement belonged to them. Seeing that no one was paying attention to you, you went to the courtyard alone.
You look up at the bright moon in the sky, silent, but behind you, a voice rings out.
"It seems you're not someone who enjoys crowds."
You turn around and see that Lin Ye has appeared behind you at some point.
You turned to look at Lin Ye in front of you, and then said to him...
"Why did you come out? You're the star of the day."
"So what? I don't care about these things."
Solomon found this scene quite amusing; he had never seen such a "willful" man before.
"This man... is very special. No wonder he is a divine messenger."
Lin Ye approached Solomon, and the two looked at each other. Perhaps to break the awkward silence, Lin Ye suddenly looked at Solomon and asked...
Do you have any goals or wishes?
“A wish? I don’t know.” Solomon shook his head. He truly didn’t know; after all, he had always been so confused. “You are the Holy Messenger, can you give me guidance?”
"You??" Lin Ye smiled, then said rather seriously, "I'm telling you, you will become the greatest king of this country. Do you believe me?"
"If you said it, I believe you."
This sentence left Lin Ye a little confused.
"Why? Just because I'm a holy messenger?"
"No, it's because I trust my eyes."
"Your eyes? Then trust them forever. One day, you'll trust them even more."
After Lin Ye finished speaking, he turned and left. You, not understanding his meaning, also turned and left.
Solomon didn't understand Lin Ye's meaning, but weren't all clergy like that? They only told half the story, always keeping things mysterious.
Having thought of this, Solomon continued reading.
[The next day: In the early morning, you heard that your brother Amnon had died on the way out of Jerusalem.]
You looked at Lin Ye, who looked calm as if he had expected this.
David was also surprised. He asked Lin Ye if he knew who did it, and Lin Ye looked at everyone present before saying...
"Whoever should be here but is not here is the one who did it."
Look around and you'll see that Absalom the Third is missing!
"Third Brother!!"
Solomon also sensed something was amiss; he knew his third brother all too well. Unlike the others, he was far too eager for the throne.
[Day Four: You have received news that Absalom has organized a rebel army and has already declared himself king in Hebron in the south! The rebel army numbers 5700 and is quite formidable!]
"God Teemo's 5700 shouts were incredibly loud."
Lin Ye was utterly speechless at this sight. 5700 people; the end of the Davidic period was around 900 BC, equivalent to the Western Zhou Dynasty in China.
But 5700 people—any vassal state could easily muster that many.
Lin Ye immediately began to recall this period of history (Li Zhaohao).
Absalom attacked Jerusalem, and David, lacking sufficient troops, was forced to abandon the capital and flee eastward with his people, eventually crossing the Jordan River to Mahanaim.
Absalom pursued relentlessly, but David eventually won over the people east of the river, rallied his remaining troops, reorganized his forces, and launched a counterattack with three armies. He decisively defeated Absalom and finally caught up with him and killed him.
"King David was chased by more than 5000 men and even lost his capital. What a disgrace!"
Lin Ye sighed for a moment before making his decision!
Upon receiving news of Absalom's rebellion, the entire royal city descended into chaos!
Seeing this, David could only sigh helplessly and prepare to lead his men to leave the royal city, while Solomon also prepared to leave with his father.
However, at that moment, Lin Ye's voice rang out from behind Solomon.
"Are you... sure you want to abandon your capital and your people?"
Chapter 360 Solomon Wants to Learn Magic?
[Lin Ye stood before you, facing the countless menacing rebel troops outside the city. He calmly looked at you and said...]
"The emperor guards the nation's gates, and the monarch dies for the state. It's just over 5700 people, and you're going to run away? Have you even thought about what will happen to the people of this city if you run away?"
"Third Brother only wants to be king; he won't hurt anyone."
"So... you're just going to hand over Jerusalem? He wants to be king, but you don't?"
"I do not want."
"No, you want to."
Solomon………
What's wrong with this person? I really didn't want to!
Well, I have thought about it, but I have two older brothers, so how could it be my turn? And just then, two options appeared before Solomon.
[In response to Lin Ye's words, what do you choose?]
Option 1: Do not retreat: As the prince of Ether, I stand with Jerusalem.
Option Two: Retreat: Plan before you act; temporary restraint is for a better offensive.
Faced with the two options before him, Solomon hesitated for a moment. He understood that a temporary retreat was certainly the right and safest option, but as Lin Ye had said, as a prince, how could he abandon his country and his people?
"I choose... one!"
Fight!
If Lin Ye, an outsider, isn't afraid, why should I be afraid?
Upon hearing Solomon's choice, Lin Ye smiled and said, "Very good. You have learned the most important thing for becoming a king: a sense of responsibility."
Then, Lin Ye turned around and walked towards the city wall.
"What are you going to do?" Solomon asked.
"I'll show you a miracle," Lin Ye said, then continued forward without looking back.
"Mr. Lin Ye! King David is looking for you!"
"That's right, Mr. Lin Ye! Quick! Come with us and leave!"
"Mr. Lin Ye! You go first! We'll stay here!"
Looking at these people, Lin Ye smiled at them and said, "It's alright, I'm not leaving. Please believe that God is with us!"
Hearing Lin Ye's words, all the soldiers present were filled with emotion.
They all knew Lin Ye's identity; he was a dignified divine envoy. And now, the Holy Envoy was actually standing with them! He hadn't run away! He hadn't abandoned them!
At that moment, they felt as if they had seen a true god!
"The Holy Envoy is with us! That means God is with us! Jerusalem will prevail! Long live Lord Lin Ye!"
"Jerusalem will prevail! Long live Lord Lin Ye!"
"Jerusalem will prevail! Long live Lord Lin Ye!"
Solomon watched the scene unfold before him, seeing Lin Ye amidst the cheers of the crowd, and envy flickered in his eyes. For the first time, he felt a profound sense of wonder.
"kill!!!"
A deafening shout rang out outside the city. Lin Ye and Solomon looked down from the city wall and saw Absalom leading more than 5000 men gathered outside the city.
Seeing Solomon and Lin Ye emerge, Absalom also shouted.
"Solomon! Lin Ye! Very well, you didn't escape! Open the city gates immediately! I might spare your lives!"
Hearing Absalom's words, Lin Ye turned to Solomon and silently asked...
"How's it going? Are you scared?"
“I’m not afraid.” Solomon shook his head.
“Very well, then… now I’ll let you witness a true miracle.”
"A true miracle?"
Solomon watched this scene with curiosity. He didn't understand what Lin Ye meant by miracle, but he believed in Lin Ye, and he believed in the man who possessed this divine artifact.
[As you see, facing the vast army, Lin Ye suddenly took a step forward. Immediately afterwards, his body floated directly in mid-air, and at that moment, a divine power began to spread from his body.]
Lin Ye waved his hand at the army below!
Rumble!
Suddenly, a colossal wave erupted from the ground! This wave was hundreds of meters high and thousands of meters wide! It perfectly covered the entire battlefield!
