C10 Courage and Wisdom

Adonijah felt extremely wronged.

Although he knew that he was indeed a believer of the Demon God and wanted to assassinate Solomon, he dared to swear that at least this time it really wasn't him who did it.

He also didn't know why the Yang Flame he summoned suddenly became crazy and wanted to attack Solomon. He thought for a long time and the only explanation was that Solomon had seen through his identity as a follower of the Demon God. He also deliberately attacked with the Yang flame to lure him to attack him.

Seeing the strange smile on Solomon's face, Adonijah did not hesitate to point at Solomon.

"Solomon is fine!"

Adonijah shouted loudly, "Look! Solomon is fine!"

The surrounding people frowned when they heard him. This kind of shirking responsibility sounded too harsh.

Adonijah himself also knew that this was not good. But he had nowhere to go... If everyone saw the strange and mysterious smile on Solomon's face, perhaps they would have some doubts about him instead.

This was the only hope to turn the tables.

It would not be possible to follow that old bastard Zadok back to see his father. However, if he wanted to kill all of these people, he and Joab alone would not be enough. Joab's loyalty to him was not to this extent.

Unfortunately, the moment Adonijah spoke, Solomon's facial expression changed.

The strange and mocking smile on his face immediately turned into a painful struggle. That expression changed so quickly that Adonijah even thought that what he saw was an illusion.

... "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Solomon panted heavily and shouted loudly.

His voice was very weak - it was true weakness. The pain that still lingered on his left hand made him unable to lift his strength. He felt that his neck and shoulders were stretched to the point of extreme pain. The blood vessels on his forehead jumped, and his vision began to blur.

However, he did not continue to play dead and lie on the ground.

The pain of being burned by the fire and the fear of being strangled to death by the assassin were all transferred to Adonijah by Solomon. Intense anger was burning in his heart, allowing him to move his body with great difficulty. He used his right arm to prop himself up from the ground.

The wind blew on his left arm, and the pain of sprinkling salt made him clench his teeth tightly. The expression on his face finally couldn't help but become a bit more sinister.

"Your Highness Solomon! Great, you are fine! "

Benaiah saw that Solomon had regained his strength and could not help but be happy. He shouted loudly, "I attracted its attention! Quickly run back! "

"Yes, quickly retreat, Solomon! It will explode!"

Zadok Priest also heard the fame and came over. Raising his old voice, he shouted to the young prince, "Retreat! Step back five steps... No, more than ten steps!"

However, Solomon did not respond to their words.

He only took two steps back. Under the gazes of the others, he squatted on the ground, stepped on the hem of his robe, and pulled it up. Then he took out his sword from his waist and cut off the dark red cloth. Enduring the pain, he tightly wrapped it around his burnt left arm.

- - -of course he knew how dangerous it was. In this era without antibiotics, if burns of this degree were not treated properly, it would definitely be infected. amputation was the only way to preserve one's life.

But Solomon had no other choice. Although half of his mind was filled with pain and anger, the other half was quickly testing his plan. But at least he still had the least bit of reason - Abigail's healing ability could not be shown on the surface.

Whether it was due to his protection of Abigail or his fear of the priest, It was the same. He burned his arm like this so that others could see it clearly and gain sympathy. However, after this matter was over, they had to make sure that they underestimated the severity of their injuries.

"Thank you, Abigail."

Solomon said gratefully in a low voice, "Luckily, Abigail is here."

She was the reason why Solomon dared to use such a trick on her.

He moved his red hands a little and felt that it was more convenient to move them.

"Adonijah..."

Solomon gritted his teeth and whispered in a voice only he could understand, "Look, this is the opportunity you gave me..."

This was not part of his plan. This was his revenge for Adonijah's actions of dragging him into the water even though he did not care about his reputation. It was a personal move that allowed him to take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, Solomon took a deep breath and slowly raised the sword in his hand, attracting the attention of the people around him.

"My Lord! Bless me!"

Solomon shouted towards the sky, "Protect me in front of the enemy! Protect me in front of the assassin!"

Everyone was shocked.

"What are you doing, Solomon! It's going to explode!"

"Retreat, Your Highness Solomon!"

Zadok Priest and Benaiah shouted loudly. After Adonijah was half a beat slower, he followed the others and shouted, "Be careful, Solomon!"

The fury in Solomon's heart had already reached its limit.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

Solomon roared and roared. His anger and killing intent were absolutely not false, so his fury became exceptionally real.

His feet landed on the ground, and his fists clenched tightly.

The sword in his right hand was like the sharp teeth of a lion.

He leaned his body forward and stumbled toward the flame he had summoned.

Benaiah was shocked when he saw this. He did not have time to go around to kick Solomon away. He could only continuously attack the enemy like a wild wind. At the same time, he shouted, "Your Highness, cut the firewood in his body!"

The half-human-shaped flame seemed to be angered by his attack. It roared and waved its giant hammer like fists, attacking him crazily.

In one go. Two times.

The sudden increase in attack pressure made Benaiah feel even more pressured.

The third strike landed, and he was finally unable to split open all the flames. The flames splashed onto the back of his hand, causing him to cry out in pain. He could not help but throw the sword in his hand away.

However, just as the next punch was about to kill Benaiah, the ball of flames suddenly stopped in midair.

- Stop attacking.

Solomon's voice rang from the bottom of its heart.

- Reveal its weakness.

The second order was immediately followed.

The rapidly flowing wood-type core in the flames immediately moved behind him, even slightly appearing on the surface.

Without any hesitation, Solomon chopped down the longsword in his hand, splitting it into two!

As his longsword swung down, the ball of flames roared unwillingly. The sound became more and more distorted, and the body began to disintegrate from behind.

In less than a second, its entire body turned into ordinary flames and fell to the ground, shattering.

Behind it, Solomon, whose face was pale due to pain, panted heavily. He held the blunt sword in his hand onto the ground.

In the silent atmosphere, Solomon took a deep breath and laughed loudly. He raised his left hand, which was wrapped in red cloth, and shouted loudly, "Master has said - Israel must be brave!"

He shouted loudly, "God bless the warriors! God bless Israel!"

After a short period of silence, the crowd burst out with unprecedented joy and screams.

"God bless the brave warriors! Blessed warriors of the Israel!"

"God bless Solomon! God bless Israel!"

Everyone was wild with joy as they raised their arms and shouted.

In the distance, Zadok heaved a sigh of relief as well, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

As an elder and a priest, of course he would not simply blame Solomon's victory on the protection of God.

It was probably because Benaiah had attracted his attention that Solomon, who was behind him, had the chance to get rid of the Yang Flame. Everything was very reasonable.

But even so, Zadok Priest did not ignore the atmosphere and say anything. Instead, he followed everyone and shouted loudly, "God bless Solomon! God bless Israel!"

Adonijah, who was standing at the side, had an ugly expression on his face. He glanced at the people around him. Without saying a word, he turned around and left. Marshal Joab looked at Solomon, then at Adonijah. After hesitating for a long time, he still followed Adonijah and left quietly amidst the cheers of the crowd.

At this moment, Nome and Abigail had just rushed over from the carriage that was far away from the camp.

"Your Highness! Your Highness Solomon!"

Nome looked at Solomon nervously. "Are you alright?"

... "Master?"

Blind Abigail also nervously pulled on Solomon's clothes. She stared at Solomon's left hand, which was wrapped in cloth, and said, "You are seriously injured..."

"I am fine, Nome. Also, thank you, Abigail."

Solomon smiled gently at the father and daughter. He patted Abigail's head and said softly, "There's no hurry. I need to receive treatment from the priest first. I will come to you later."

..." Yes, my lord. "

Abigail lowered her head like a kitten and replied softly in a soft voice.

"Sorry to disturb everyone."

Solomon raised his head and said to the people around him in a high voice, "I thank you all for coming to save me. This is the righteous action of brave people! I especially want to thank Benaiah, because he really saved my life! "

Hearing this, Zadok Priest nodded his head in satisfaction. His aged face smiled like a wrinkled flower.

"You all saw me charging towards that devil, you all thought that my blood had rushed to my head. You all mustn't think like this - - - I do things in the blood energy, but I don't fight in the blood energy. "

Solomon said to them seriously, "I will warn you all: it is good to be unwilling to admit defeat, but it is also good to be unwilling to be humiliated! But if you use your throat to hit a knife, or your head to hit a mischievous stone, That is to fight in the blood and Qi. It is something that foolish people do. "

"I don't beg you to tell the people of Israel about me. But if you want to publicize me, you must mention the rest of my words to them - - "

"Well said! Well said!"

Zadok Priest clapped his hands and laughed while shaking his beard.

He looked at Solomon, and his cloudy eyes instantly lit up. "Solomon, you are really a wise man! Not only do you speak logically, but you also have great wisdom in your words! "

After praising Solomon, he said to the people around him in a high voice, "Brave warriors of Israel, you must remember the wise words of His Highness Solomon! Israel must be brave, but you must not do foolish things and do foolish things! "

"I will go back and speak to King David. I want to engrave His Highness Solomon's words on the stone slab and send them into the hall! These words must be said to all the children in Israel. I must warn all the brave warriors -"

The more Zadok Priest looked at Solomon, the happier he became.

Adonijah?

Zadok sneered and shook his head without saying a word.
