The manticore and the griffon were fighting, fighting for survival and food, but Yuzai was more concerned about this tall snow-capped mountain.
In later generations, this mountain should be called Damavand Peak, the roof of Central Asia. It is an extinct volcano. There are two small glaciers that flow slowly below the crater. It is a magnificent natural wonder.
There is also a legend that this is where Noah's Ark anchored.
Ruan Zai flew over as usual and buried something on the mountain. In the area where Dijiang flew, the aura of the overlord level floated, making the griffons afraid to approach. However, it seemed that there were other overlord beasts in the mountains, which were hostile to Dijiang. flight path warning.
The roar shook and triggered a small avalanche. Suzai was very unhappy, so he picked up his bow and arrow and shot an arrow somewhere.
The explosion triggered a large avalanche, and the original warning roar became more and more angry. Even the manticores and griffins who were fighting each other began to flee in a hurry.
A large white sacred cow charges out of the mountain!
It is the master of this snow mountain, and countless strange beasts will crawl and tremble under its iron hooves!
.......
To the southwest of this mountain, there is a land called Rai. The tribes here use clay tablets to write text. There is a small city-state on the land. While the soil is used as a platform, the layers of it can also become a simple city wall. .
This is a slave society, and the city-state that rules this border land is called Elam.
Tarana is a local cultivator. As for the people who rule this land, is it Elam, Akkadian, the Kuti people in the mountains, or the legendary city of Uruk that has collapsed? , these have not had much impact on the people who have lived here for generations.
Royal power descends from heaven, but is given to those who enjoy great achievements.
This land is too far away, and it is not rich and very poor. For Elam, Uruk or Akkad, this land is a bad land. Even if you rule here, it is just a claim. It can demonstrate the city-state's military power, but there is no need to expend energy to control this place.
Therefore, even if they want to capture slaves, they cannot come so far, which will consume a lot of goods and food, and they cannot capture many people, so they often just send a few people to say something, and the Lai people will know , I changed my master again.
The first major Elamite city-state was called Susa. During the current period when the Elamite city-state ruled here, they asked people to build a simple temple on the land of Rai, and a man came who claimed to be able to communicate with the gods. Priests, Elam claimed to be a country favored by the gods, but the Rai did not even know the name of the god that the Elamites believed in.
The Lai people only believe in that snow-capped mountain. There is a sacred cow in that snow-capped mountain. In the legend, a supreme god first created the sky and then created a sphere, then filled it with water, separated the water from the earth, and planted plants. He mixed various plants and finally created an ancient cow as white as the moon. This snow-capped mountain sacred cow is also called the primitive bull. Its name is respectfully called "Kavavi" by the locals.
Tarana was farming normally today, but now it is the middle of summer, and the wheat harvest is about to begin.
But he saw strange things happening on the snowy mountains in the distance.
Huge rays of light scattered in all directions like the sun, and the roar of cattle that shook the heaven and earth spread throughout the mountains and fields. This voice was filled with sorrow!
The light became more intense, and the sound of the cows gradually decreased and soon stopped.
Later, Tarana saw a sight that he would never forget. It was a giant that shone like the sun. After defeating the snow-capped sacred cow Javavi, who was as white as moonlight, the shining giant let a long The giant beast with six wings, as red as the sunset, took the snow-capped sacred cow away and headed towards the high mountains and hills to the west!
Not only Tarana, but also the Rai people saw this shocking scene. They ran to the simple temple to pray and sacrifice, burning the blood food with blazing flames, while the priests sent here by the Elamites were pulled The Yi people stopped him, told him what happened, and wanted him to explain.
The Elamite priests did not know what it was, but no matter how the Lai people described it, in short, the snow-capped sacred cow they believed in was killed by a giant shining with light and fire. Belief in one's own gods is a good thing.
At this point, Elamite culture finally reached the southern end of the North Sea.
"That must be the arrival of the God of Fire, because your god has offended us. Now that you are ruled by us, your gods will naturally obey the rule of our gods!"
"I want to report this matter to Susa City!"
The Elamite priest was so proud that he wanted to report this "auspicious incident" to Susa. He immediately prepared to leave here, and thought that he did not expect that he, a small border priest and an unappreciated exile, would actually witness this. A day of "auspiciousness".
I have witnessed the war between gods with my own eyes. When I return to the city of Susa, I will definitely be able to rely on this auspicious event to be promoted to an important figure in the city-state, and I will no longer have to suffer in these remote places.
After the priests left here, the people of Rai looked sad. They did not expect that the gods they believed in had also died. Perhaps it was destiny for the Elamites to rule this land.
In the vast plain beyond the mountains in the west, the legendary city of Uruk has been destroyed by the Akkadians and Kuti people for a long time, and now the Akkadians and Kuti people are fighting and turbulent again. Look, The king of the next era, the kingship of this land, will come into the hands of the Elamites.
.......
The story of the God of Fire and Sun appearing and defeating the Snowy Mountain Divine Bull began to spread widely in the land of Elam. This was a divine descending event. The priests in the Rai region spread the news everywhere, and they did not dare to neglect and kept changing vehicles. Finally arrived at the city of Susa at extremely fast speed.
Susa, where the Code of Hammurabi was unearthed in later generations. At this time, this land did not belong to the king of Mesopotamia, but to the capital of the Elamite kingdom. The people here have been living there since the Neolithic Age thousands of years ago. He had been living here since the beginning, and later Herodotus recorded this sentence: Whoever possesses the wealth of Susa can compete with Zeus for wealth.
In its long history, the city of Susa changed hands many times.
After the leader of Susa City heard about the appearance of the Sun God, he stopped thinking for a long time.
"King, king?"
Elam is a theocratic country, and the king is both the high priest and the ruler of the country. When he came back to his senses, the first thing he did was to call out the name of their supreme god, and then turned back to light the blazing fire on the altar, with great reverence. mood, performed a wave of prayers.
"It seems that it is time for the royal power to be transferred to Elam."
The King of Elam made a decision to launch a large army from the city of Susa to compete for the dominance of the two river basins. He believed that the appearance of the Sun God and the failure of the Snow Mountain God must be a sign from God!
"Since the Akkadians and Kuti destroyed the temples dedicated to the gods and the houses where people lived, the gods have no longer appeared in this land. I have not seen the light of the sun god for a long time. I have never been given too many revelations by the gods.”
