    I don¡¯t know when, some people began to discuss that John was the Messiah prophesied by Elijah. Especially the vast number of lower-class Salemites and many Samaritans were full of expectations for this. The news gradually spread to Herod.  In the king's ears.  John himself never thought of himself as such, he just remembered what Jesus said: "Messiah is not a title, but an achievement. Only with such a vow and completing such a mission can one  Achievements achieved. He can be you or me, it doesn¡¯t matter who we claim to be!¡±

    That¡¯s what John did, and people couldn¡¯t help but talk about it.  King Herod knew it, the Maronites knew it, and it was certainly impossible for the Olympian gods not to know it.

    John was an upright man and often rebuked the pedantry and arrogance of the elders of Salem and the greed and evil deeds of King Herod in public preaching.  Finally one day, King Herod ordered that John be arrested and imprisoned in an underground prison on charges of slander and blasphemy.

    John himself was the son of a priest and had many believers among the people. Although King Herod imprisoned him, he pretended that it was not his intention and explained to those around him that it was the intention of his queen Herodias, but in his heart he still  He admired John's honesty and courage, and was willing to respect John even though he did offend.

    Although John was imprisoned in a dungeon, many of his followers could still hear the voice of this guide when they meditated at night.  John is already a great achiever who has awakened his original power, but no one knows what state he has reached?  Such a person could not be imprisoned in an ordinary prison. Although Herod locked him in a dark dungeon, he did not add special guard measures. The purpose was probably to let John escape.

    Herod knew that many people in Salem and Samar believed that John was the prophesied Messiah, and he did not want people to think that he wanted to kill him.  But if John escapes from prison, regardless of other charges, the crime of escaping from prison will be confirmed, and he will always be a fugitive.  On the other hand, Herod also knew that the Olympian gods would not let this man go.

    The governor of the Maronites had sent a message to King Herod, and Apollo sent an oracle to punish John.  King Herod also knew about an incident that happened twenty years ago. The then governor of Marot also conveyed Apollo's oracle to his father, King Herod, to search for newborn babies in the city of Salem.  There may be evil spirits among them.

    In fact, the old King Herod knew very well that what the Maronites were searching for was the Messiah prophesied by Elijah.  But he ordered it to be done anyway, for the simple reason that he didn't want to lose his dominance, and now King Herod the Younger felt the same way.  If people think that John is the son of Aloha and will be the king who leads the Salem people to establish a new kingdom, then it means that before the rule of the Maronites is overthrown, the rule of Herod must first be overthrown.

    No matter who people thought the prophesied Messiah was, the only person Herod could accept was himself, but he had to hide his selfishness.  Looking back, John escaped during the search because he was the son of the priest of the Salem Temple. Now it seems that the person the Olympus gods are looking for is probably him!

    ¡­¡­

    Time passed, and King Herod¡¯s birthday arrived. All the high-status people in Salem were invited to participate in the celebration in the palace. King Herod prepared a grand banquet to entertain the guests.  After the meal, there were of course various performances. Folk artists with special skills came to perform in the palace, and minstrels performed poems on the spot to praise God and the great king. The last part was a sword dance.

    To add to the fun of the banquet, Herodias, the wife of Herod, ordered her daughter Salome to dance for Herod and his guests.  Salome was the daughter of Herod's brother, but Herod later married his brother's wife Herodias, and Salome became his stepdaughter.  The young and beautiful dancer walked into the hall and danced with a long sword to the sound of castanets like war drums.

    Her eyes were brown, and her facial features were extremely beautiful. Her eyes were as clear as water but slightly cold, but when she showed her face and smiled, it was as if the spring breeze had melted the ice and snow, and she looked so gentle and charming.  Salome does not just use a sword as a prop to slowly dance. It is obvious that she has real martial arts skills, but they are integrated into the graceful dance to show the touching beauty of strength and softness.

    The soundtrack fluctuates, and the sword in the girl's hand shines into a silver light, setting off the graceful figure, and she sings a poem with a graceful voice¡ª¡ª

    Please tell me that God is my light, my salvation, and the security of my life.

    Please tell me that under the glory of God, I am not afraid of the enemy's swords and guns.

    So who am I afraid of, who am I afraid of, and who will I get hurt from?

    When the enemy¡¯s chariots and horses rushed towards him, his heart was not afraid. Behind him was the tent of God.

    He once faced his enemies with his head held high, sacrificed himself to God, and listened to the singing of the sky.

     O God, who saves me, do not abandon your people.

    I am looking for you, please listen and have mercy on me, don¡¯t hide your face from me.

    Whose abandonment is this, whose crime are you forgiving?  Please strengthen my heart, I will see you eventually!

    This is a hymn to the gods that has been circulated on Tianshu Road for a long time. For hundreds of years, people in Salem have sung it to express their respect for Araha.  The girl was so charming, her singing voice was so moving, and the sword dance was breathtaking. The audience was so intoxicated that they even forgot to cheer.

    When the song ended, Salome saluted King Herod with an elegant posture. The audience was surprised to realize that the dance was over, and they all burst into warm applause!

    King Herod had drunk a lot of wine, his face glowed with excitement, and he shouted to Salome: "You deserve the heaviest reward for this peerless dance! My daughter, please say,  No matter what you want, as long as I can give it, I will give it to you!¡±

    Salome was about to speak when she suddenly heard a voice in her soul: "Dancer in the palace, listen, this is God's will. If you want to answer, you will ask your mother, and your mother will tell you - you  The desired reward is the head of John the Baptist.¡±

    The light in Salome's eyes dimmed, and she saluted Herod and said, "Father, I want to ask my mother." Yanbi turned around and exited the hall.

    ¡­¡­

    John in the dungeon was sitting quietly meditating with his eyes closed, when he suddenly heard a ethereal singing voice in his soul, like a distant memory that traveled through many eras.  He opened his eyes in the darkness and remembered a person, the former flower of Dreamfly, Themis Fei.  Before returning to the city of Salem, the Baptist had already gone through endless trials. During his many reincarnation experiences, there was a man named John who lived in a family in the city of Ecumenmonfess.  I also enjoyed this chanting in the brothel.

    His name in this life happens to be John, and the name John is very common in Tianshu Continent, so it¡¯s not a particularly surprising coincidence.

    This song was obviously deliberately sent into his soul by the singer, and it spread from the palace to the dungeon in the distance, but the guards guarding the dungeon were not aware of it. This shows that the singer also has amazing achievements.  John already knew what was going to happen next, and it felt like he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

    As expected, not long after, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the dark dungeon, and the gloomy atmosphere dissipated without a trace. It seemed to have turned into a warm and peaceful world, and was connected to the outside world by space magic.  Separate.  Salome's figure appeared in front of John out of thin air, looked at him and said: "John, do you still remember me?"

    John stood up and looked at her with a gentle smile: "I remember that song. There was once a girl named Themis Fei who danced and sang to a general named John in the city of Menfei in Eju.  .¡±

    Salome's eyes flashed with excitement: "It seems that I don't need to tell you anything more. Your achievements have reached the end of the road in the world. This small dungeon cannot originally contain you."

    John nodded and said: "I have witnessed endless life, and when I see you, I will face the final test. But I am no longer General John, and you are not the flower of Mengfeisi."

    Salome looked at John. Her appearance and aura were changing. She no longer looked like Salom¨¦ or turned into the flower of dreamfly. Instead, she showed the true appearance of the goddess Themis and said slowly:  "But you are still you, and I am still me."

    Her voice contained magical information, imprinting the origin of the Dream Flower and a series of events that happened later into John's soul.  John stepped forward, held one of her hands and said: "I know, Moses and the angels have already told me, how should I describe my feelings? It has been three hundred years, and you actually left the Kingdom of Olympus.  Found me!"

    Themis looked down at John's hand and whispered: "I don't need your gratitude, can't you be more proactive?"

    John smiled, opened his arms and took her into his arms, caressing her waist and said: "It seems that no one here knows that Salome is the goddess Themis who left the Olympus pantheon."

    Themis said in front of him: "I have never revealed my identity, so naturally I will not be known. Today in the palace, someone actually conveyed such an oracle to me."

    John asked: "Do you know who is behind this?"

    Themis replied: "This time it's Apollo. He lost the bet and will always shy away from Am¨¦ng. Later Am¨¦ng fell into the world and was no longer his original identity. Apollo naturally wanted to  They prevent Am¨¦ng from seeking confirmation and even hope that Am¨¦ng will never return to heaven."

    John sneered and said: "Stupid Apollo, he really mistakenly thought that I was the Am¨¦ng god in the rotation! I deliberately made him misunderstand, but?What's the point of doing this?  Even if Yosu is eliminated, God Am¨¦ng will not die, but will continue to rotate.  When God Am¨¦ng returns to heaven, does he still want to have a good ending?  The next time he meets God Am¨¦ng, he will probably die.  "
