To Four Thousand Years Later

v2 Chapter 16: Priest Simon

High Priest Ximen felt a little uneasy.

His method of intimidating the townspeople of Haifa did have a good effect at the beginning. After all, although Sharman III gave him the privilege of killing people, it does not mean that he can really kill people at will. Simon was the first central high priest selected when the previous king of Tyre, Shaman_, was in power. He is sixty-two this year and has served as the governor of the province for twenty years.

He even went to the battlefield for three years and successfully beat them back. Because Samantha is nothing like his younger son—he is a righteous and strong king. In the war against the Persians, he personally led the legions of Tyre to fight at the forefront, and won a lot of prestige among the Romans and Egyptians...you can even say it. The prestige of Tire III today was planted for him by his father. However, the old Sharman suffered from coughing up blood because of being hit by an arrow in the chest.

The priests of Tire were helpless against such injuries. Fortunately, His Excellency Octavian sent his priests to Tire to heal the old Shaman.

The divine art "Snake of Wine and Fire" that Ximen used before was also taught to him by the three priests. What they believed in was still Solomon, and what the people spread was also Solomon's way, but when they practiced magic, they had to think of Bacchus' name in their hearts. This way, it can be regarded as a compromise between the priests of the two countries. After that, there were two more high priest elections, and Sharman II abdicated.

Some priests planned to take advantage of Ruo Shamanshi's youth and take the opportunity to fight for greater power. And Xi Wuxin fought for power and profit, so he took the initiative to ask Shaman III to remove his position as governor, and returned to Ximen. It can be said that he watched Shaman III grow up, and he can be said to know his character well. The ancient king of Tyre was a very proud, hypocritical, and decisive man. Although Sharman III said that if he met the false Jesus, he could kill people at will, as long as he was killed... But Xi didn't quite believe this sentence. talk.

He was worried that if he really made a move here, he might turn his back on Sharman III when he went back.

Sharman III, for example, might claim that the brutal actions that West committed in Haifa were his own and without his permission. Then he pushed the blame again and took away Ximen's rights logically... After all, it was not the first time Sharman III used this method. After the power of the provinces was collected, Sharman III began to target the various forces in the royal city-he would rather disband 80% of the army in Tire directly than fight Rome and Egypt.

Some senior priests, the pitiful rights held in their hands were slowly gathered by him like this, and they were all arranged for Shaman III's people. And those central secretaries, after the change of term, he pointed to his younger brother or loyal subordinates to marry them.

But those old friends and opponents who have never made mistakes all died without exception.

They were not killed by assassins, but by various normal circumstances—for example, the interception of robbers, or the revenge of prisoners who had been dealt with before, or because of accidents, or because of sudden death. died of disease.

But that's why. Simon felt terrified.

As soon as those priests died, they were immediately replaced by Solomon priests trained by Shaman III himself. The time in between was too short, and Xi Yi always felt that it was Sharman III who moved it...but there was no evidence.

Those "Priests of Solomon" cultivated by Shaman=Xie also made Simon's teeth itch.

They did not understand the teachings of King Solomon, nor did they hear the wise words of King Solomon-they apparently believed in Solomon, but in fact they were Bacchus, Mars and his interpretation of the interior, in order to resist Rome. , Egypt and Persia, Tire needs more priests who can use magic.

But King Solomon was in Rome, and he was obviously regarded as a **** named "Mercury" and was worshiped by many priests...: But Shaman refused His Majesty Octavian to send Mercury priests to Tyre decision. Simon is also very clear about the real reason. It is to make the domestic opposition to him quieter.

Now, most of the central high priest and all the outstanding priests who have the qualifications to run for election have been replaced by his people. And the central clerk will also be assigned by Shaman Sanxie to Zhiluo's Nathanis after the end of his term. The system of checking and balancing the king of Tire was corrupted and disintegrated by Shaman III because of his own selfishness. Simon felt chilled. Simon would not have wanted to leave the city of Haifa if he hadn't heard some people in the city of Haifa spreading the false proverbs of King Solomon and performing false miracles in the name of the great and wise King Solomon. He doesn't think about anything now, he just wants to be bathed in Solomon's wise and evil words, and quietly spend the few days left. Killing is naturally impossible. Even if he can't catch the fake Jesus, he won't kill people... But he still has to scare them. Ezei's understanding of these civilians. They value their own lives so much, even more than the lives of wise men. As long as you scare them a little, let alone false **** who they don't know, even if it is the biological father of one of them, they will definitely be thrown out by someone who stops them. Ximen didn't bother to listen to his flattering words to him at all, just let him chatter and chatter by his side, um-huh ah ah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Focus on looking at the city gate.

But the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.

The noisy city of Haifa inexplicably became quiet. The quarrelsome people gradually calmed down, and gradually turned their eyes of dissatisfaction, disgust and hatred to Simon.

he wanted to kill jesus

"He is our benefactor."

"Even if it's just a fist. Well... no, I still have stones! Everyone, pick up stones!"

The people seemed to be oppressed to the limit, but they still couldn't find Jesus, and in turn they pointed the finger of conflict at Simon. Simon felt perplexed by the development of this situation. Are these people bewitched by demons?

Why did their attitudes suddenly change so drastically? It looked like the fake **** really saved their lives. No, even if he did save their lives, they wouldn't be able to risk their lives to save him.

"Because they love me, Sir Simon."

A childish and cold voice sounded behind Simon. He was suddenly horrified, and turned his head to look over.

There are three hundred elite behind him!

Who sneaked over without a sound? !
