There were about twenty members of the Ancient Abraham Church who escaped from the meeting venue, belonging to twelve different tribes. As soon as they saw the parchment in the old man's hand, their eyes turned red, and they reached out to grab it, and for a while they started to fight. The old man was startled. In order to prevent the "Chariot Technique of Ascending to the Sky" from being destroyed, he hurriedly stuffed the parchment back into the box.
Looking at this chaotic scene, Ella suddenly thought of something and murmured:
"I looked, and, behold, a violent wind blew from the north, and a great cloud gleamed with fire, and there was a brightness all around, and the fire in it was like shining metal; and out of it came the likenesses of four living creatures..."
No one paid attention to what Ella was reading. Habiba was the first to push aside the crowd and snatch the box into his arms. He didn't care that his feet were being pulled hard by five or six people, or that his body was eating dirt on the ground, he opened the box and opened the parchment roll. But when he glanced at the content on the scroll, he suddenly froze and turned to look at Ella blankly.
Someone took this opportunity to snatch the parchment, but when he saw the contents on the scroll, he had the same reaction as Habiba. More and more people saw the contents on the parchment, and they all looked at Ella in unison.
"...As for the images of the four living creatures, they were like burning coals and like torches. There was fire moving back and forth among the four living creatures, and the fire had brightness, and lightning flashed out of the fire. These goods went to and fro. , like a flash of lightning..."
Ella still kept chanting. Everyone wiped their eyes and rubbed their ears, completely unwilling to believe this fact - this "Chariot Techniques for Ascension to the Sky", which even the apostles had personally come out to fight for, was handed down without a single word by a girl who had never touched a book before. I memorized it poorly.
Noticing everyone's reactions, Ella's voice became softer and softer until she stopped completely. She scratched her nose and said with some embarrassment: "Is this really this book...? I seem to have read it...in my bookcase at home."
At this time, Habiba's posture had changed. His left foot was hung around one person's neck, his right foot was picked up by another person, and his own hands were pulling the third person's face hard. Hearing Ella's words, he kept moving his hands and shouted loudly: "What are you talking about? Even if you have this book on your bookcase, how can you do it if you don't understand our Hebrew?" Do you understand?"
"Hebrew... I learned it when I was eight years old." Ella said with some embarrassment, "For example, "The Technique of Chariot Climbing to the Sky"... Although you all know the word 'Chariot', this word is originally in Hebrew. The original word in Hebrew should be 'merkabaha', isn't it?"
Someone couldn't help it and shouted: "You are an outsider, what do you want to do by reading this book!!"
"Well...I saw it was a book anyway, so I didn't think much about it and read it."
Ella was telling the truth, but to everyone it sounded like she was lying. What they were more afraid of was the fact that the supreme magic of the Ancient Church of Abraham had been leaked to a complete outsider.
Seeing the unkind looks in everyone's eyes, Ella quickly said:
"Well... even though I read this book and could memorize it, I didn't realize that it was a magic book at all. Because the content in the book was completely incomprehensible... Although it was not logical and I could understand it, It doesn’t look like a book about practicing magic.”
After hearing Ella's words, everyone wanted to grab the book again, but the old man shouted angrily: "If you continue to grab it, the apostles will chase you!"
Before the old man could finish speaking, Habiba grabbed the book again. Seeing people gathered around him, he quickly followed the old man's words and said: "Stop! Stop! This is a book. It will not be digested by others after just one glance! Everyone has a share, and no one is allowed to snatch it! Whoever wants to take action will leave the rest. The people below will all hold him down!"
After getting everyone's consent, Habiba breathed a sigh of relief and spread out the parchment with a bang. Everyone raised their heads together. But after a while, Habiba was the first to curse: "Damn it, it was actually written in cipher text!"
"Secret text?" Ella asked curiously.
Gottfried replied: "Don't you know, our ancestors were influenced by the Pythagoreans and associated letters with numbers. For example, A is 1, K is 20, Sh is 300, Th is 400... In this way, each word has a sum of numbers based on the letters that make up it. Our ancestors would use letters with the same 'sum' to replace each other to encrypt the text... Although it can I understand the desire to encrypt the "Chariot Ascension Technique", but for us modern people, this kind of encryption is very... a headache."
"It will take a long time to decipher these texts!" someone shouted, "The apostles have set their sights on the Technique of Chariot Ascension to Heaven! In order to protect this book, we must not disperse!"
Someone immediately raised an objection: "The Alemannic Federation has been contaminated by the Abrahamic Orthodox Church! The church's spies are everywhere! With such a large group of us gathered together, the goal is even more obvious!"
"We can't disperse, and we can't be discovered by the church, which means we have to find a safe place that is completely unaffected by the church?"
"Where can this kind of place come from? Even Duke Otto's Duchy of Anglia, I heard it is being infiltrated by the church!"
Just when everyone was in trouble, Ella raised her hand; "Excuse me. Let me ask, what is the relationship between your Abrahamic Ancient Church and the Abrahamic Orthodox Church in the Tianfang Empire?"
"To them, we are probably not enemies, and many Orthodox people are not even aware of our existence..." Gottfried explained for Ella, "But to us, They are a bit... deviant. It is clear that God is the only one, but they support a Son of God and add a Holy Spirit. Talking about the Trinity is simply unimaginable..."
"But we are far inferior to them in terms of influence and magic, so there is nothing we can do." Habiba took over, "That's why everyone traveled thousands of miles when they heard that the "Chariot Climbing Technique" appeared. Gather here from all over the world. If we practice the contents in the book, we may be able to defeat them in magic..."
"In other words, you are in a hostile relationship with them?" A light flashed in Ella's eyes. "If that's the case, then I can take you to a safe place that is not affected by the Abrahamic Orthodox Church at all."
"Speaking of which, where are we now?"
Suddenly someone asked.
Everyone looked at each other. After a long time, one person said: "I seem to remember the environment around here. This should be... Ile-de-France?"
The French Isle is separated from Stade, where Ella is stationed, by more than half of the Alemannic Federation.
