The language of the Obedes is very primitive.

This ancient language could not cause any obstacle to the Imperial Guard Hammurabi. The golden superhuman could even write and speak the language smoothly without even a translator. Captain Miller saw the Imperial Guard Hammurabi exchanged the supplies from the caravan for all the excess of the tribe, which should have been used for winemaking, and then continued without any nostalgia. The southwestern monsoon passed through the wet and fertile plains and the surging river water, carrying tiny grass seeds and water vapor toward the low hills in the distance. Captain Miller sat on the shaft of the caravan. Although he had accepted the status quo, he was still a little intoxicated when the breeze that had come to face for more than 6,000 BC.

After nearly two days of travel, they finally took the children to catch up with the emperor's convoy. Despite a little panic, these children were still attracted by the scenery along the way and became cheerful. They rarely stayed away from their villages and saw the scenery outside. Now they can still see scenes of the imperial guards hunting lions at close range. The power of the "angel" imprinted awe into their souls, and also had a lot more awe for their only guardian, the "high priest".

Captain Miller did not see the emperor. Although he knew that the emperor was in the convoy, the shining soul fire emitted from the emperor's body was still dazzling under the dim sky, neither he nor the emperor had the idea of ​​meeting again. The events he had experienced before were too supernatural, and there was a lot of information that he needed to digest alone. The emperor seemed to think that he did not need to know more. Even after experiencing the horror of the Event Horizon, he could not fully accept the emperor's ideas and plans for the future of mankind. The emperor told him that there were predators behind the curtain who were eyeing all intelligent races in the universe. Even if he was not afraid of those horrors, he did not agree with the emperor's request that all human beings stand with him, even if the emperor had the ability to realize his ideas.

He always believed that humans should allow weakness.

The emperor refused to accept weakness in human race, which would only make the emperor a tyrant, just as he did not think that the emperor's imperial guards had the right to kill enemies in this era, nor did he think that the emperor had the right to kill those opponents for that plan, even if it was the only feasible means - he sadly realized that all irreconcilable contradictions, disputes, ambitions and grievances in this world would only stop under the threat of violence, and wars did not stop because of peace but because of nuclear bombs - this crazy and terrible reality stings like a flesh-cutting knife

He. Even if the emperor could stop the war between mankind and force all mankind to let go of differences and unite, he could get the hatred of mankind. History has proved that the so-called pioneer will not end well regardless of whether it is correct or not. Moreover, this pioneer also has a crazy idea and the ability to realize this idea that no one has ever had since ancient times. Whenever he thinks that this is not something he should care about, he can always breathe a sigh of relief. He is very glad that he does not have the ability to change this fact, let alone bear this collapsed psychological pressure.

He could not imagine how a human being would be so crazy that he could bear such a terrible prophecy.

"Central," Hammurabi said to him.

This is his official title. He was the emperor's clerk and was called a clerk in this era. He had a cylinder seal made by the emperor, which could print his official position and name on the clay board. Before he took the warship promised by the emperor, this was his job. Although the name of the high priest was just a praise from the Obedes, he needed to follow the emperor to record whether it was performing his priesthood or official position. In the future, the cylinder seal will be used as a proof of identity and symbol of the exercise of power in the legal sense of his and every citizen. Any clay board document with legal benefits needs the cylinder seal as proof.

"You need to record the roster, clerk Miller. Number them, make archives, but we don't have enough paper."

He saw that there were a lot of humans of this era in those convoys. Adult men were holding stone spears and stone axes on both sides of the convoy, while adult women were walking in the middle of the convoy with grain wrapped in animal skins and simple pottery. The raised goats and wild boar cubs surrounded the end of the convoy in a mess, leaving feces and footprints on the tracks. The precious cows were responsible for pulling heavy vehicles and getting sweet berries that made children greedy for as snacks.

Captain Miller thought he had a much better relationship with Hammurabi, at least he no longer thought Hammurabi was as indifferent as other imperial guards, so he spent most of his time with Hammurabi, who was also happy to explain to him the characteristics of the civilization of this era - these humans did not possess much linen clothing, and almost all adult men and women were wearing different styles of clothing made of sheepskin, and some children could only have leather pockets tied with straw ropes after stabbing with stone spears - in this stuffy and humid alluvial plain, breathable leather was not the best choice for daily clothing, but it was the most easily accessible material for a nomadic tribe and did not require a lot of processing, and they might have forgotten how linen fabrics and textile machines were made.

Whether it was rough clothing, dull pottery or scarce reserves of staple food, it showed that the civilization development of this nomadic tribe was far behind the farming tribes he had encountered before. In contrast, the wealthy farming tribes not only had sufficient food and beer brewed by duplex brewing, but also gifts dedicated to the "high priests" and "angels" and two pieces of dark purple linen dyed with bone spirals grown on the Syrian coast. This dye was still priceless even in ancient Greece and Rome thousands of years later.

"This tribe is a wanderer of the Hasselna civilization. They forgot how to farm and weave cloth, and could only tame wild horses and become nomadic tribes. The location of the Hasselna civilization ruins is called Nineveh in the future. You will see that the Hasselna civilization has not really continued, and everything will be absorbed by the Obed civilization."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "We are going to the north?" Captain Miller asked, "The center of civilization in Mesopotamia should be in the south. I have read the books on the data board. There are not too many civilizations in northern Mesopotamia."

"We want to tour the entire Mesopotamia and collect enough labor to build an action base. It takes a lot of materials to establish an action base. There is already offshore trade in this era. The orders of the monarch will be conveyed to everyone by the Obedi and pottery, and will be more people to come to the monarch's action base to avoid the increasingly frequent floods and eventually build a city."

The imperial guards took these terrified farming tribes' children to meet the emperor.

Captain Miller performed his duties and registered and booked every child who returned. If he had no name, he would name and number the children according to the vocabulary provided on the data board. All information was registered in the data board, waiting to be copied on the clay board one day. These children were calm, and although their faces still had a trance left by the emperor, their mouths were stuffed with candies that could not be produced in this era, which comforted their emotions well. Candies were given by the maid, and every child regarded Dinah as a god.

Especially when she appeared with the emperor - beauty is an extremely expensive asset. Even in the 21st century, no woman who works in labor could have the smooth and soft white skin as white as Dinah, and she would not be able to exude carefully selected perfume smell. Sunshine and sweat would cause harm to any pleasing skin - for humans of this era (especially when she was standing by the emperor), a woman who is so beautiful that it is dizzy is a god, and perhaps someone would call her Inanna.

Men would commemorate her with the cycle of barley growth, and women would brew wine in her name and treat it as a type of beer. When the entire tribe and even the entire city lighted bonfires for the emperor, offered beer and food, and offered to the sky, wind and floods, they would drink beer brewed in the name of Dinah with the first harvested grains this year. Perhaps the future of the twenty-first century or even longer will never know that when they enjoyed the cool beer on the hot summer days, the pronunciation of some words printed on the bottle label can be traced etymologically to the beginning of human civilization with a dizzy maid lady.

Miller asked every child who had seen the emperor curiously, but every child could not fully tell the emperor's appearance - some children only remember a dazzling light, some children only remember a tall glowing figure and an emperor all over the ground, as if they were not walking into a caravan made of wood but a wide palace made of gold and gems, and even some children thought they had spent a whole day walking from the door to the emperor. This statement made Captain Miller creepy - they could not fully recall the entire audition process, except for the candy in their mouths, which proved that they had experienced this kind of closeness.

The only thing that is supernatural is the fingers that are needled. This is a genetic testing procedure to ensure that these children do not have genetic diseases. In the eyes of these Obedes and Hasselnas, needled fingers should be a ritualized procedure. Children selected in the nomadic tribes did not mix with other children. They could sit in a caravan and follow the convoy instead of going through the long journey with their own feet. Captain Miller also found that some adults in some families had obvious respect for the children they were selected, which came from power, and power came from the powerful violence displayed by the Imperial Guards.

A sociological experiment was unfolded in front of Captain Miller.

He saw some children holding their fingers high and showing a clear sense of superiority in their face of their unselected peers. They showed off their fingers as if they had been deified by power, and the blood-collected fingers also became a symbol of their deification. The Imperial Guards and the Emperor did not care about this situation at all. The Imperial Guards all believed that this was a inevitable situation and could only be resolved by educational means rather than oppression. As long as the emperor's ideals were not achieved and humans could not get rid of low-level desires, this inequality would always exist. Captain Miller felt that he had been taught a lesson, and the knowledge that universities refused to teach in the past was proven from the emperor's works.

The month-long journey did not make the nomadic tribes left their hometown restless.

Not only because the emperor provided sufficient food reserves, but also because all unsummoned adults and minors would spontaneously make the caravans and armored vehicles where the emperor was. No one was willing to expose himself to the glory of supreme power, which would make them feel that they had no secrets. But this inequality still made Captain Miller feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, the education of the selected children and all adults under the age of 20 has been handed over to the clerk, and the unselected children will be trained to be clerks (the profession of clerks is not divided into men and women, but there are more men). Children who have passed genetic testing will receive stricter training after basic education. Captain Miller believes that he will soon be able to get these children out of these bad habits.

He asked the children to collect clay according to the teaching process on the data board, pound the clay with a wooden hammer and put it into a wooden model to press it into a mud board. At the same time, he asked the children to pick the reeds along the way to make a pen holder and press it on the soft clay to form cuneiform characters. When the mud board placed on the top of the caravan is dried, after it is burned into molding, the world's first set of pinyin rules and systematic languages ​​with more than 800 standard letters will be formed. This set of rules will apply to the future Semites Akkadian and Ebera, Jurian, Indo-European Hittites, Iranian and ancient Persians, Asia Minor, Uraltu, and even the Aramaic languages ​​that the Assyrians were still using in the 21st century.

The first place where the convoy stayed for a long time was the plains adjacent to several Obed villages.

The land of the alluvial plain is fertile, but due to the flooding year by year, humans can settle and cultivate land not as much as they imagined. It is located in the southern part of the Euphrates River, close to the sea outlet. Although it is just a dune, it only takes a day to walk to several nearby villages. This place gradually evolves into a trading place. In addition, the freshwater aquifers here can be found here, whether it is grain, beer, fruits, vegetables, handicrafts, fishing catches or fabrics. Therefore, the first group of humans who settled again were born.

This place once belonged to the Samilla culture, but the Samilla culture has gradually been replaced by the Obed culture in the south. When the caravan convoy came here, the local residents did not resist at all. Although Captain Miller believed that this was completely the emperor and the imperial guards walking in front of the convoy, just like the villages that all the caravan convoys passed by. As long as the emperor and the imperial guards appeared, all the vigilance and hostility towards strangers would disappear. Every Obed who saw them would treat them as gods. The emperor and the imperial guards were surrounded by nearly 4,000 settlers in the city and walked into the temple.

This is not a building built with mud bricks and thatch in the village of Obed.

As one of the earliest commercial areas, it almost brings together the commercial wealth of the entire Obed civilization. The temple is built on a 25-high mud brick platform, with a long slope of the same length as the temple in front of the platform for walking. The temple is 45 meters long and 60 meters wide. Even the walls with 10 meters of sleepers are nearly 3 meters thick. The entire palace is decorated with stone carvings, stone pillars, gold and lapis lazuli. For humans of this period, this is undoubtedly a fortress and the most gorgeous palace, and the entire city is built around this temple.

The temple itself was used to worship the Earth Mother God, but now it has a new master. Some Obedes think that the emperor is Enki, the god who built the city because he came to this sweet water city.

"They regarded the monarch as their ruler, and believed that the city was the monarch's city," Hammurabi said, pointing to the man kneeling at the feet of the emperor. Compared to the other Obedes, the settlers of the city were also wearing garments made of linen, but some had a dark purple shawl and gold jewelry, which was enough to illustrate the wealth of the city. "They offered all the land and property, only to be the ministers and priests of the monarch. Some were brewers, some were grain merchants, and there were merchants who monopolized the linen fabrics of nearby cities and land owners of several nearby villages."

"Alulium, why do they call your master that?"

"The king's power came to heaven and first came to Elidu, here, here, eridu." Hammurabi said. He was responsible for the mission of periphery. Mesopotamia in this era was not safe. A week ago, the emperor's Tarot divination ceremony had revealed the challenges they were going to face. "As long as they determined that the city belonged to the monarch and ruled here for a long time, then the monarch had the obligation to perform the king's power, that is, to protect them."

Captain Miller saw the emperor reach out and his fingers covered with armor gently touching a merchant kneeling at his feet. Judging by the conversation eavesdropped by the imperial guards, the merchant seemed to have offered a lot of dark purple linens. "There is war in this era, right? I remember you said that this place once belonged to the Samilla culture, but the Samilla culture has not completely disappeared. These people hope that your master will protect their lives, and your master also agreed to the deal, right?"

"Elidu means a powerful land, a place of escort. The monarch became their guardians, and the city deserves its name. After this, you will hear these people declare that the monarch has ruled the city for a long time and possessed the law of the city. People will find reasons to convince themselves that this is religion, and they will not be stupid enough to try to use their own power to deny the monarch's rule. From then on, this will be our first stronghold."

The imperial guards' eyes swept over the merchants who had kneeling down. All the imperial guards had brief talks in the communication channel, and the emperor agreed to their decision. They were going to clean the city and make sure that what happened next would not come from Elidu - humans of this era have been exposed to the curtain, and no one can guarantee that there would be a shrine behind the curtain in a house made of mud bricks, or some words that existed before the birth of human civilization - anything could become a spiritual entity behind the curtain to come to reality, even if humans had not yet realized what they had, they would be poisoned by the curtain.
