Alayi is the oldest and most authoritative priest in the tribe. In fact, he is also the most powerful one in the tribe of more than 3,000 miles.

Every year, he takes out a large part of the tribe's meager income to select outstanding young people in the tribe and go to all parts of the world to find "Apostles of the God of Fire" according to the description of the scriptures.

In fact, Alayi knows better than anyone that finding the Apostles of the God of Fire is just an "excuse". The real purpose is to hope that these outstanding young people will have more contact with the outside world, bring back real knowledge for the backward and poor tribes, and help the tribes to grow and prosper better, or in other words, save them from the brink of extinction.

Alayi has never doubted the existence of God, nor has he doubted the existence of the Apostles.

However, Alayi's understanding of God is much deeper than that of the lowest tribesmen in the tribe. In his opinion, the Apostle of the God of Fire is not necessarily a certain person. As long as he can help the tribe out of difficulties and promote the knowledge and ability of the doctrine, he is the "Apostle of the God of Fire".

God is omnipotent and unpredictable, but he will not abandon his people. God has left his thoughts in the holy book Avesta in obscure language. What the priests need to do is to study the holy book constantly and understand what God's guidance means.

Hearing Basel say this, Alayi was slightly stunned and asked curiously: "Please explain it in more detail."

Basel recounted his experience on the plane with great excitement, and deliberately described the scene of the young man from the East who was safe and sound after being set on fire. At that time, Su Ming's clothes and pants were all on fire. After he took off his clothes, he really looked like the description in the holy book, "coming from the flames and burning all uncleanness."

In the doctrine of ancient Zoroastrianism, hair and clothes are unclean things, but in the development of modern civilized society, it is impossible to shave all the hair on the bare buttocks, so many Zoroastrians subconsciously ignore this point.

If Basel's words fall into the ears of a person from the civilized world who has no religious beliefs, it is estimated that he will just listen to it as an interesting story, and at most guess whether Su Ming is an acrobat. The trick of breathing fire from the mouth and burning the body with flames was already very mature hundreds of years ago.

But Alayi and his tribe were still very backward and superstitious after all. The entire tribe had been worshipping the god of fire for thousands of years and had a natural reverence for fire. Alayi himself was the high priest. In fact, in terms of superstition and firm belief, he was deeper than any other tribe member.

And now, the tribe is at the critical moment of life and death! According to the scriptures, the messenger of God will appear in the most dangerous time! All of this is exactly in line with it.

As for the Orientals... this is even more like it. The Persian Empire and the Arab Dynasty both made Zoroastrianism the state religion. Judging from the classics handed down from that time, several expeditions to the East seemed to be related to the search for the "temple" of the true god Mazda.

A drowning person would not let go even if he grabbed a straw, let alone a tribe that was about to face a disaster? Psychologically, Alayi hoped more than anyone else that a real apostle of God would appear to save them at this time.

Therefore, Basel's words immediately caused a huge wave in Alayi's heart.

Although his mind was shaken, Alayi finally maintained the calmness of a wise old man and raised his own questions.

"But, it was just a small flame, maybe it was a coincidence. Even if it was not a coincidence, he only passed the test of the flame, how can the ice spring explain it?"

"It's simple, we catch him and throw him into the spring water with ice cubes, if he doesn't die, it's true!" Basel's method is simple and rough. He can set himself on fire because of a momentary anger, and he is even more ruthless when he attacks others.

"How can this be! If he is really an apostle of God, what you do is tantamount to blasphemy!" Alayi shouted in a low voice, and his eyebrows jumped twice in anger. Basel is good in everything, but he is too impulsive!

"What should I do, Alayi, please forgive my disrespect, but you have been unable to communicate with God for decades. Will there be changes in the last few months?" Basel said.

Alayi did not feel disrespectful, but agreed with it.

But he had a deeper faith in God, and firmly believed that the God of Fire would not abandon his faithful believers. He took a deep breath, frowned and said, "You are right about one thing. We must find him! Do you know where he went?"

Basel shook his head: "I don't know. I was taken to the airport security room. However, I remember there were three of them. In addition to him, there was a middle-aged man and a young man. The man's name, in Eastern pronunciation, was called 'Soumin'. They were going to Baghdad."

"'Soumin'?" Alayi muttered to himself, repeating the name that was completely inaccurately pronounced several times, and finally made up his mind: "After returning, immediately let the young people in the tribe go to Baghdad to find this person."

...

At this time, Mr. 'Soumin' was wearing a pair of large flowered shorts, accompanied by Adela, strolling in the large garden behind the hotel.

A bald head without eyebrows would attract a lot of 'attention' wherever he went in China, but here, there were too many weirdos, and no one would pay attention to this.

There is a huge garden behind the Babylon Warwick Hotel, with a large outdoor swimming pool in the middle. It was a hot day, and many hot foreign girls in bikinis were playing in the pool.

Su Ming lost interest after watching for a while. Foreign girls can only be viewed from a distance, not up close. Their pores are frighteningly large, and their skin is not on the same level as that of Chinese girls. If you are used to the skin of Chinese girls, you will feel that foreign girls have a layer of sandpaper on their bodies, and many of them have a strange smell.

Except for Eastern Europeans. The only ones worth seeing are two Eastern European women. Due to the climate, the girls there have both the hot bodies of Western women and the delicate skin of Eastern women. They are also passionate and actively throw Su Ming a flying kiss across the swimming pool.

Then Su Ming walked towards the two of them, walked towards them... In the stunned eyes of the two long-legged white girls, he walked directly over, walked farther and farther, and came to the fence beside the garden.

On the grass inside the fence, there were several peacocks walking.

Unexpectedly, this hotel not only raises animals, but also raises a lot of them, almost catching up with a small circus. In addition to the group of furry platypuses that Adela mentioned, there are also peacocks, monitor lizards, and even a hippopotamus!

The hippopotamus lay in the big pool, weak and powerless, and did not move when he saw someone coming. Su Ming used his mental power to communicate with it for a while, and the hippopotamus opened its big mouth with an "ah", revealing its big yellow teeth, and looked at Su Ming pitifully.

There was a tooth in its mouth, which was broken from the middle, leaving only half of it, which was blown off in the war.

The hippopotamus without teeth was very unhappy, and was listless all day long, eating and waiting to die. Although it relied on the remaining half of the tooth, it could still easily bite a crocodile to death.

Next door is the platypus, this guy with a duck's mouth and a furry body, is not as cute as it looks on the surface. The sharp hooks on the heels can release a large amount of toxins in an instant. It is one of the killers in the wild and very dangerous.

There were many animals. Su Ming walked around for a long time and finally chose one to replenish the energy storage ball.
