After being frightened, Yannick smiled slightly when he saw the ugly expressions on the faces of several elders. "Elder Broome, are they all your confidants?"

Bloom nodded cautiously, his intuition telling him that what His Highness was going to say next was definitely extraordinary.

Yannick stood up and walked to the canvas, picked up a new brush, and continued to paint on the canvas, speaking as he painted. "If you help me, I will naturally help you. You Jews have not had your own country for a long time. This makes you citizens of the world but have no feelings for the country where you were born. In this case, I can give you a home and let you return. Go to the holy city of Jerusalem in the Middle East to establish a nation.”

As soon as he finished speaking, several Jewish elders stayed there, as if they were petrified.

After a few minutes of silence, several people suddenly came to life again, and they suddenly became a mess.

"Oh, God!!"

"How can this be?!"

"Long live!"

"You're kidding!"

"...!"

Looking at these extremely excited Jewish people, Anne frowned slightly and raised her hand to make a gesture in the air. As long as these Jewish people dare to do anything inappropriate, the secret guards hiding around will definitely kill them as soon as possible.

Fortunately, these Jewish people were also people who had experienced strong winds and waves, and they quickly calmed down.

As for why they were so excited, it was because Jerusalem carries so much spiritual sustenance of the Judah people, and the life of this holy city is as full of ups and downs as the history of the Judah people.

How troubled is the history of the people of Judah? Historically, the people of Judah were driven out of their holy city four times.

The first time: the Assyrians destroyed the ten tribes of Judah (Israel). The ten tribes of Judah were exiled to various places, but the two tribes of Judah still existed.

The second time: During the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian Dynasty, Solomon's temple was destroyed and the people of Judah were exiled to Babylon. They were not released until Cyrus.

Third time: Alexander was exiled to Egypt.

Fourth time: The Second Temple was destroyed during the reign of Titus in Rome, and the Jews were expelled from Jerusalem. From then on, it was not until the end of World War II that the Jews regained their kingdom and regained Jerusalem after a long war.

In the three thousand years since Jerusalem was built, two thousand years of it had nothing to do with the Judahs. At most, they were just a crowd watching Christians and ***.

As for why the people of Judah were so troubled, we can get a glimpse of it from their national legends.

Everyone in later generations knows that Israel is the most powerful country in the Middle East, but in history, "Israel" originally referred to a nation rather than a country. You may not know that the ancestor of the people of Judah is Jacob, the grandson of Abraham, and this Jacob was quite capable. Legend has it that he once wrestled with God and finally won. So God changed his name to "Israel", which means "one who wrestles with God, who contends with God and is not defeated."

So awesome, he actually had a head-on confrontation with God and even defeated him.

Unfortunately, no matter in Eastern or Western mythology, mortals who anger the gods basically have nothing good to eat. After all, if mortals can defeat gods at every turn, how can those monarchs "awarded by gods" or emperors called "Son of Heaven" still be around? !

As a result, after suffering a series of changes, Jacob took his descendants to live in Egypt for 430 years. This period was also the first time that the people of Judah tasted the difficult years of living under the shelter of others.

Later, a great hero appeared among the people of Judah. ​​He was Moses.

Moses led his people back to Canaan, where their ancestors once lived, and began to live a free life again. This period of history is also called "Exodus" and is recorded in the Bible.

However, the good times did not last long. The people of Judah were later destroyed by the Kingdom of Assyria and the Kingdom of Old Babylon. Their people were taken captive to the Mesopotamia area and became the "prisoners of Old Babylon." Later, as the Persian Empire destroyed ancient Babylon, the Judahites returned to their homeland. But it was destroyed by the ancient Roman Empire soon after.

In other words, the suffering of the people of Judah was caused by man’s sin, God’s punishment, and God’s mercy.

The sins of the people of Judah: disobeying God and denying Jesus;

God’s punishment: God told the Judahs through their prophets that they would punish them;

God’s Mercy: In times of suffering, the people of Judah repented and returned to faith in God to avoid eventual destruction.

The blush on Elder Bloom's face due to excitement has not faded away. He tried his best to control himself and asked cautiously. "You mean our own, the nation of Judah?"

Yannick nodded firmly. "Yes, I am talking about your own country of Judah. ​​And when the time comes, all of you here will become the founding fathers of the country of Judah. ​​You will become heroes in the history of the Jewish people. Your names will be engraved on the monument in Jerusalem. You will be worshiped and admired by all the Judahs in future generations. Of course, these may be false names, but think about the rights you will have. They are the real rights to control a country and a nation."

Although Yannick tried his best to deceive, these Jewish people were not fools, but extremely shrewd businessmen, and it was impossible for them to just swallow the pie drawn on the paper in a daze.

The Judah man next to Elder Bloom asked. "Your Highness, why are you so determined on this matter? With all due respect, the current domestic situation is not optimistic. It can be said to be precarious."

Yannick paused and smiled slightly. "Why am I sure? Because I have seen God."

Ignoring the looks of surprise on everyone's faces, he continued on his own. "Let's put it this way, I believe you all know that our three brothers were involved in a car accident a few years ago. My eldest brother died on the spot, my younger brother is still in a coma, and I am the only one who survived unscathed.

Although I was unscathed, I was still in a coma for several months before I woke up. Why? Because during this period, God, the old man, pointed out the direction for my future and gave me knowledge about the future. It took me several months to digest what God was teaching me. When I woke up, I was completely transformed. You could say that I was the apostle sent by God to govern the world. "

Yannick choked all the nonsense, but saw one of them's face suddenly change wildly, sweat pouring out as if for free, and within a few seconds he rolled his eyes and fainted.

"What's wrong with him?"

Elder Bloom apologized hastily. "It's really offensive. It seems that he is ill. Your Highness, please allow us to go back first. Can you allow us to consider your proposal for a few days?"

"No problem, I'm not in a hurry anyway." The guy's face was still red when he came, and there was no sign of any illness at all. Why did he suddenly faint when he was fine? Could it be that he was frightened by his domineering aura?

Yannick was amused by this childish idea, shook his head and ordered to Anne beside him. "After mounting this painting, take it to the Ming Dynasty and ask our ambassador to send it to the Ming Dynasty Art Association Center. Just say it is my personal gift. I guess they will say that the gift is too expensive and that it is not rewarded for nothing. The polite words. Then say that I have always admired the culture and art of the Ming Dynasty. Please give me a few paintings from each of them, and treat it as a learning and exchange."

The current Daming Art Association can be said to be full of talents. Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Huang Binhong, Liu Haisu, Feng Zikai... there are simply countless. Even if everyone donates a painting in return, it will be worth billions in a few decades, right?

The Jewish man who was being helped by several companions and carried into the car slowly woke up and stretched out his right hand tremblingly. When he loosened his grip on his hand, there was a pile of yellow fragments in his hand.

Several Jewish people around him were immediately taken aback and exclaimed. "The holy bead is broken?!"

“This, how is this possible?!”
