Radiant Enemy

Hilgner naturally also noticed Yedidia's entanglement, he waved his hand with a smile, and said lightly: "If you think this is difficult for you, then come and learn."

If you say it, everyone will probably laugh.

It is not only extremely rude, but also extremely arrogant for a mere familiar to ask the proud and noble king of Israel in the future to let him learn how to act like a baby, play, and enjoy himself like a child.

But Jedidiah has no resistance to the words 'knowledge' and 'learning'.

"But... I don't know how ordinary young children do it."

Jedidia said helplessly, the face that had been calm since Hilgna saw him finally showed some other expressions.

"It doesn't matter, there are still ten years between now and your adulthood, enough time for you to know what to do."

Hilgna rubbed Yedidia's soft, curly lamb-like white hair that he had long coveted for a long time, and felt the delicate hair rubbing against his fingertips, and he narrowed his eyes with a smile.

Yedidia was pinched by Hilgna with a dull face, and her hair was fine, and occasionally her cheeks with baby fat would be pinched.

After playing with the future King of Israel for a while, Hilgner visually judged that the child might not take the initiative to ask him to stop, so he took the initiative to withdraw his hand with a sigh in his heart.

"Where did you see it?" Hilgna carried Yedidia to the stone chair in the gazebo, curled the thick and curly white hair of the golden-eyed child with his fingers, and asked.

"Saint Prophet Moses, on his way to the promised land of Canaan, two Narna men came to him because of one thing."

When he talked about something he was interested in, Jedidia's eyes lit up, and he sat down involuntarily. Those round golden eyes also stared at the white-haired familiar for a moment.

Jedidiah continued to tell what he saw: "One of them grabbed the other and said: 'Wise Saint Moses, this man stole the only set of clothes left to me by my dead father last night while I was asleep. I still refuse to admit it after being discovered by me! Please make the decision for me!'”

"But the other person stared wide-eyed and said to Saint Moses:'You thief is too shameless! It is clearly my clothes, but you claim it is yours! Saint Moses, please make the decision for me!' "

"At this time, the sage Moses asked the judge to quiet the two men, and said: 'You tell me the color and shape of this garment.' But the description of the two men is exactly the same as the garment."

"No judge could tell who was lying and whose suit belonged. But Saint Moses said: 'Then let this suit tell us who owns it.'"

When Jedidiah spoke this passage, his eyes were as bright as the sun in the sky.

"But I saw this, and I haven't had time to see how the saint Moses made the clothes speak. Could it be that he used the power of the gods to make the clothes really speak to testify?"

Although Jedidiah was indeed much wiser than his peers, even many adults, but he was still a child less than six years old after all, and it was inevitable that he would sometimes take it for granted.

"Of course it's impossible." Hilgna poured cold water on Jedidiah.

"Even if 'Moses' really has the magic power to make dead things speak, he won't waste his magic power on such trivial matters that can be solved immediately."

Hilgna pointed out a blind spot in Jedidiah's thinking.

"A miracle that occurs once is a great cause that makes the world admire, but when it occurs the second or third time, can a miracle that appears so easily be considered a great cause that makes the people respect and fear?"

Hilgna flicked Yedidia's forehead lightly with his fingers again, the strength was so light that it didn't even leave a little bit of red marks on the skin.

Yedidia didn't speak, just stared at Hilgna, waiting for the white-haired familiar to reveal the answer.

"The solution is very simple. Since both of them say that the clothes belong to them, let them wear the clothes separately."

Hilgna yawned and said lightly.

"The clothes are very gorgeous and complicated. If someone who has never worn them before wears them, they will not be able to tell which layer is the top layer and which layer is the bottom layer. In the end, the two wore them separately in front of 'Moses' After putting on that set of clothes, as expected, one of them was dressed in a mess, while the other was neatly dressed, so it was clear at a glance whose clothes belonged to them.”

"So that's it... Is it possible to use this method to let the clothes prove who is its owner?" Jedidia was lost in thought, and the corners of her lips were also raised: "As expected of the saint Moses! He was able to come up with such a method !"

Hilgna looked away, and subconsciously pinched the child's round cheek again.

"I will add a condition. When you call Moses, don't call him a saint."

There was a helpless sigh in Hilgna's voice.

"He himself probably would not have thought it would be right to use force to force the native Canaanites to adopt the Hebrew practices."

That's just no other way.

Jedidia nodded, he grabbed Hilgna's sleeve, and asked softly: "Hilgner, have you ever seen Master Moses? If he is a familiar, he can live for a long time, right? He is What kind of person is he? Is the master Joshua who let the walls of Jericho fall, as brave and good at fighting as in the legend? Has a sharp gaze that can make the enemy tremble?"

With one hand pressing Jedidiah's head that was stretched out to him with excitement, Hilgna picked up a grape from the fruit plate with the other hand, and blocked the child's endless mouth.

"I do know all that, but don't you want to hear about the deeds of your father, King David? He is also a legend, whether he used stones to repel giants, or used the sound of a harp to drive away nightmares for King Saul Wraith, or being hunted down by Saul, but in the end, he can still become the king of Israel from a shepherd.”

While talking, Hilgna stuffed the grapes into Yedidia's mouth, and didn't stop until he covered his mouth and refused to eat any more.

"I've heard about my father many times, and I already understand it deeply." Jedidiah swallowed the sweet and greasy grapes on the tip of her tongue, and replied.

Both of them tacitly skipped over the fact that King David deliberately caused Bathsheba's husband to die in battle, while he occupied Bathsheba and took her as his concubine. .

"I can tell you." Hilgna said to Jedidia, "Then give you the first homework: try to act like a baby to me to achieve your goal."

"Acting like a baby?" Jedidia frowned, thinking hard.

"This is indeed a bit difficult. I will reply to you after I go back and observe my brothers and sisters."

"Go, go." Hilgna waved his hand, and Jedidia did observe his brothers and sisters.

The proud Adonijah, Absalom who loves his sister deeply, the lively Tamar, and the flirtatious Amnon, Jedidiah has never paid special attention to these brothers and sisters of hers before, after all, they are leaving The road is different after all.

However, after observing so carefully today, Jedidia really gained a lot.

When he came to the garden again, he saw Silgner playing the harp.

After patiently waiting for the other party to finish playing a song, Jedidiah opened her mouth to draw Hilgna's attention to herself: "I have learned how to act like a baby."

Hilgna stared at Jedidia speechlessly, then smiled lightly and leaned his body against the stone pillar of the gazebo, raised his chin and said, "Then show me what you have learned."

Jedidia recalled the scene when his sister Tamar acted like a baby to Absalom, then he stepped forward, tilted his head slightly to the right, then lowered his voice several degrees, and said sweetly: "Hope! Mr. Ergnar, I want to know the deeds and experiences of Mr. Moses and Mr. Joshua, please tell me, okay?"

If Hilgner was eating fruit at this moment, he would definitely choke the pulp into his trachea and choke himself to death.

The white-haired man covered his face, and muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear: "What kind of trouble am I trying to make myself feel..."

After he calmed himself down, he sharply pointed out Yedidia's mistake: "The voice is too sweet, and you don't have a matching smile on your face at all. It looks fake at first glance."

Jedidia was a little upset: "That's what Tamar did, and she also got the snacks and toys she wanted from the adults."

"But Tamar is a girl and you are a boy."

Hilgna thought about whether he should give up, but when he saw Yedidia's golden eyes, he dismissed the idea again.

Jedidiah is the sacrifice of the gods—of course he is not a sacrifice in the literal sense, but the agent chosen by the gods to try to deepen their connection with humans.

Hilgna didn't stop it, or it was impossible to stop it. When he realized the birth of Jedidiah, he was furious for a long time, and even thought about whether he should let the gods realize his anger.

But the gods told Hilgna that it was not he who chose Jedidiah, but his father, King David, who chose Jedidiah.

King David's original intention was probably for the loss of his first child with Bathsheba, and he wanted his second child to be compensated by the eldest son, but the favor and blessing of the gods far exceeded what King David expected. want.

Jedidiah will be the third king of Israel, and his reputation will spread throughout the land, and the monarchs of all countries will submit to him and call themselves vassals.

There is no greater grace than this.

If King David wasn't the second king of Israel.

One mistake of his own made Yedidia a human skin monster covered with magic circuits. As long as he saw Yedidia, the child with white hair and golden pupils would remind King David of the mistakes he made.

No matter how wise the king is, he can't stand this torture, not to mention Jedidiah is like a timed bomb, and every call is like a reverse pointer, reminding King David that this child will replace him the throne.

He was very indifferent to Jedidiah, but loved Adonijah and Absalom very much. King David, who had no father experience, only knew how to satisfy their demands blindly. From Hilgna's point of view, he would develop them sooner or later Bad temper.

It's not that he didn't give advice to this child who he also watched grow up, but if human beings can really control their words and deeds precisely, then they can't be regarded as human beings - after all, even gods can rarely do it at this point.

Jedidiah became a very embarrassing existence.

The prophets and judges respected him, his mother Bathsheba relied on him because of divine revelation, but his father, King David, treated him coldly and ignored him, and his brothers and sisters feared him , alienate him, in the end, this child does not have a friend to talk to, and even can only communicate with the unidentified familiar in this secluded garden.

He doesn't know what pleasure is, he doesn't know how to act like a baby, and he doesn't know that when he can't bear it, he should discuss it with others instead of trying to resist it himself.

How perceptive Hilgna was, he saw Jedidiah's flaws at a glance.

Everyone is praising Yu Yedidia for his calmness and wisdom, and his precocious ability, but no one thinks that this is actually not what he should be like.

"Tama's acting like a baby is very practical." Jedidia said, "I observed it for a few days, only her acting like a baby almost always achieves the goal."

As for Adonijah, Absalom, and Amnon, they still occasionally hit a wall with their teacher and father.

Yedidia pursed his lips, and he squeezed Hilgna's clothes tightly, and said with some disappointment: "I was not prepared this time, and I will definitely be able to do it next time."

Hilgner smiled. He hugged Yedidia, whose shoulders were drooping, and said briskly, "The one just now is considered qualified."

"Huh?" Jedidiah made a doubtful voice before she could rejoice.

"But I'm not..."

"You're acting like a baby to me." Silgner patted his head in a good mood, "If it was the first time I met you, you would never use that aggrieved tone and I spoke."

He would probably just nod silently, then turn around and leave, continue to observe and learn how other children act like a baby, and he won't get angry and say that he will definitely be able to do it next time.

Although there were only a few changes, at least let Hilgner know that what he did was not wrong.

An Israeli can be considered an adult at the age of 16, and Jedidiah will definitely enter the royal court to get in touch with political affairs at that time. Hilgna will not ask an adult man to learn how to act like a baby and play, but before that, there is no His tall Jedidiah had to 'learn'.

It can be regarded as a little compensation from Hilgna to Yedidia who was chosen by the gods.

"Since you are so interested in Moses, let me tell you another story about how he adjudicated disputes."

The two people in that dispute were originally a pair of friends, and one of them lent money to the other, but out of trust, he did not ask the friend to leave an IOU.But when the friend made a profit with the money he lent, the friend had bad intentions and wanted to deny that he had borrowed the money.

After careful inquiry, Moses found out that the place they had agreed upon was in a secluded place.

But the person who borrowed the money firmly denied that he had been there, let alone borrowed money.

The matter fell into a fog, without any written evidence, without a third witness, it is indeed impossible to make a judgment.

Moses asked them if there were any other creatures in the agreed place, and the lender replied that there was only one tree standing there.

So Moses asked the man to take a leaf and let the leaf testify who was lying.

But before the man had even picked the leaves back, Moses had already judged the friend who had borrowed the money to be a liar, and handed down the sentence: the man must not only pay back the money he had borrowed, but pay twice as much.

"Come on, Jedidiah, tell me how Moses figured out who was lying?"

Hilgna hugged Jedidiah and let him sit on his lap, while he leaned comfortably on the railing of the gazebo, the sunlight that was not blocked by the pavilion cover and the grape vines shone finely on the On his head, it was shining like a golden crown.

Jedidia pondered for a while, but had no idea, so she raised her head and asked, "Can you give me a hint?"

"Moses only asked the friend who borrowed money." Hilgner told him kindly.

"On the way that the person who lent the money has not yet returned."

Jedidia was lost in thought, his brain was running fast, deducing from the knowledge he had learned to the experience he had gained.

After a while, Jedidia raised her head excitedly and said to Hilgna, "I see!"

"Oh? Then tell me." Silgner nodded to him, with a little smile in his blue eyes.

"Did Moses just ask: 'Why hasn't he come back yet?'" Jedidiah said firmly, "If the person who borrowed the money calculated the exact time, it means that he has indeed been to a certain place. The agreed place is contrary to his previous testimony that he never went to the agreed place with the person who lent the money!"

"You're right." Hilgna clapped his hands as encouragement and praise for Jedidiah's correct answer.

"The person who borrowed the money replied after Moses asked this sentence that he would go from here to the promised place, and it would take a stick of incense to turn back. If it is so clear, then he has indeed been to the agreed place .”

Yedidia's eyes were almost shining, he grabbed Hilgna's front skirt, his wheat-colored skin blushed with excitement: "Please tell me more, I still want to hear it!"

This look is a bit innocent and straightforward that a child should have.

But Hilgna looked at the sky, and then lifted Jedidiah from his chest: "It's time for evening prayers, Jedidiah, will it be troublesome if you are late?"

Only then did Jedidia hurriedly remember that tomorrow will be a day of rest set by the gods, so today everyone needs to go to the temple to thank him for his grace.

Seeing the back of the child running away in a hurry, Hilgna had a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

The orange sunset painted the pavilion, and the glow that had not yet fully set was still warm and bright.

But what is brighter and more resplendent than the sunset is Hilgna's body at this moment.

The bell rang in the temple not far away, and the songs and prayers praising the gods sounded orderly from all over Israel, and then the power of faith in those prayers turned into snow-like brilliance. appeared all over.

It was as if Hilgna had transformed himself into the god of Snow White, no matter where he went, those snow-like light spots would continuously merge into his body, bringing abundant power to Hilgna, making the already dead Hilgna can walk on this land like a living human.

He didn't even need the shepherd's staff bestowed by the gods, the current Hilgna could separate and close the sea of ​​reeds dozens of times without feeling tired.

Many so-called miracles of magic Hilgna can be done with just a heartbeat, whether it is from the palace standing at this moment, the temple that appears in the valley at the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye, or appearing in various places at the same time In front of the people, guide the way forward for them who are confused, turn stones into bread, and let dead branches gush out clear springs.

Hilgna is a heroic spirit who is still walking on the ground. His soul has been condensed to the point where he has no body, and he can also be captured by human eyes.

Except for the terrifying abundance of magic power and the great miracles that can be performed at will, Hilgna is no different from human beings.

Although the stomach is not hungry, nor does it feel hunger, thirst or physical needs, but it is already very precious to be able to feel the warmth of the sun, taste the moisture of fine wine, and touch the warmth of the human body just like ordinary people.

Hilgner closed his eyes, allowing himself to disappear in the radiance like melting snow. When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the secluded garden, but appeared on the roof of King David's gorgeous palace.

It didn't take long to pray, and Hilgna saw King David leading his guards walking from the temple to the palace.

Hilgner didn't have any complaints about this man who had turned from a shepherd to a king—during the years he had been out of his body, he had seen so many life and death, and he had already calmed down a lot.

The white-haired saint didn't bother to hide his figure. When King David stepped into his palace, he saw Hilgna sitting at the table at first sight.

He stopped pointing his weapon at Hilgna's guards, and asked in a soft and magnetic voice, "Mr. Hill, why did you suddenly come to my bedroom?"

"There is something I want to talk to you about." Hilgner looked at the guards behind King David, smiled at him, and said, "Can I chat with you alone for a while?"

King David blinked, and didn't know what he thought of. He quickly turned his head to give instructions to the guards behind him, and then walked towards Hilgna with a smile: "I have already asked them to wait at the door, I don't know Mr. Hill What do you want to tell me?"

"That kid Jedidiah, I want to be his teacher." Hilgna doesn't go around in circles. After all, in this land, his words are already called holy voices. Unless they affect the operation of Israel, they will basically be dismissed. satisfy.

King David's complexion changed slightly, and the smile on his face was a bit forced: "That kid doesn't need a teacher, right? He's very smart. Even without your teaching, he can definitely become an outstanding king."
