Chapter 253: President: What kind of metaphysics are you playing, let's play cards!
"Elsis, what do you say...... Is it all true?"
Egypt, the head of the six priests of the Pharaoh's court, the residence of Lord Aknadi, Isis reported to him in Aknadi's study.
Although it is a bit inappropriate to report on the assessment of the new official priest without first reporting to the Pharaoh but first to Aknadi - after all, in the country of Egypt, the Pharaoh is the incarnation of the gods, and even the gods themselves, and the supreme leader of the priesthood is not the chief priest but the Great King himself, and the affairs of the new official priest must also be reported to the Pharaoh first.
But for Isis now, the report on the new official priesthood can be postponed, and the most important thing is related to "Seth".
Seth was recommended by Arknaty, and Isis only thought that Seth might have been appreciated by Aknadi, so she didn't pay much attention to it. But now that he knows that Seth's future is unpredictable, he can't help but love Siss without being nervous.
If there are anyone else who knows about the restrictions of the Millennium Jewel except for himself and his mother, the two holders of the Millennium Jewel, it is only the Great God Commander who created the Millennium Artifact in front of him, the holder of the "Millennium Eye".
So, after Isis had reported the assessment and the next series of circumstances to Arknadi, she stood quietly in placeβshe was waiting, waiting for the answer of this person, who was also a "thousand-year-old jewel" could not be measured.
To Elsis's surprise, Aknati didn't seem to be flustered at all, as if he had foreseen the future, he looked at Elsis calmly, and then confirmed with her whether the news was true.
"Although Isis is still a young priest and has held the thousand-year-old jewel for less than two years, she will not deceive Lord Aknadi with such a clumsy lie. Elsis said calmly, to be honest, she herself did not expect that this would happen.
"It's true, it's not like what you would do. After thinking for a moment, Aknadi stretched out his hand to Isis and said, "In that case, you give me the thousand-year-old jewelry first." β
Isis hesitated, but out of trust in the esteemed priest and curiosity, she gently removed the Millennium Jewel from her chest and handed it to Arknadi.
Aknadi looked at the familiar and unfamiliar gold jewelry in his hand, he was still calm on the outside, but countless thoughts flew through his heart - he seemed to think of the process of relying on the newly realized dark alchemy to lead a group of soldiers and priests to make this thousand-year-old artifact at the critical moment of the country's life and death, and finally although he saved the country, he had to be separated from his son Seth because of this incident.
After hearing the news that Seth had almost died at the hands of a slave trader, Aknadi's heart was filled with regret and regret, but he was extremely excited to hear that the White Dragon had saved Seth......
[If you don't die in a great calamity, there will be a blessing, Seth, you should be the real Pharaoh!] Aknadi has had such an obsession in his heart for so many years, not that he wants to make his brother rebel, but when he learned about the concept of the current prince, he was extremely disappointed in the prince.
The priest who served as the prince's mentor was also a close friend of Aknadi, and when he heard that Mahad had been bitten by a snake in order to save the prince, the prince chose to help Mahad suck out the toxin himself even though he had a maid by his side - although this was indeed the fastest and would minimize Mahad's risk - but in doing so, the future pharaoh himself was in danger.
Later, when asked a few more words about how the prince explained his behavior that he should not have been, the "Taifu" told Aknadi that the prince seemed to think that all of us shed the same blood, whether it was princes and nobles or ordinary people, no one's blood was inherently noble, and no one's blood was inherently lowly.
This sentence was enough to make Aknadi think that he was not a pharaoh worthy of his life's loyalty.
[Everyone's blood is the same...... In that case, wouldn't I become the greatest villain if I killed a thief from a village and saved the country?] Thinking of this, Aknadi shook his head, [Some scum are inherently lowly and evil, and if you sympathize with them, it will only make more people worthy of your protection and sympathy disappointed in you......! No, it's too kind to be a pharaoh. γ
[But, Seth, why did you ...... this time] However, thinking that this time it was a mistake and a missing Seth, Aknati still shook his head, [I hope I was really too nervous...... This kid still hasn't seen much of the world. γ
And Isis on the side looked at Lord Arknadi's sudden shaking of her head again and again, and was a little stunned - by the way, big guy, why have you been borrowing my equipment for so long, why have you been reminiscing, why haven't you done it yet?
Fortunately, Aknadi's memories ended quickly, he looked at the "thousand-year-old artifact" in his hand, and after thinking about it carefully, he still pricked his finger and dripped a drop of blood on this gold jewelry.
"It's ......," Isis looked at Arcanate in shock.
"Do the math again. Aknadi said calmly: "Count Seth's position." β
Looking at the "Millennium Jewelry" dripping with a drop of blood, Isis's expression was difficult to calm down for a long time, and Acadinadi, who had long expected her to react, said calmly: "There are some things, your mother also knows, she is silent, I hope you can be like her, can think more about this country and the overall situation." β
"I ...... I see. The blood was soon dry, and Isis wasted no time in opening the "Millennium Jewel", and soon she saw the image - a narrow canyon, and ......
"Hmm!" Isis felt as if she had been punched in the back of her head by a giant, and then she urgently broke away from the prophecy state, looking at the opposite side who was still calm and could not see what she was thinking, Isis reported truthfully: "A canyon, very long and magnificent, but when I wanted to continue looking, I was driven out by a mysterious force. β
"Canyon?" Aknadi nodded, "Thank you, Isis, if I'm not mistaken, Seth doesn't have anything, you can arrange for the priest to test as usual - by the way, this time you can also bring the thousand-year-old tin staff, before the pharaoh set out on the expedition, he said that he wanted to see that the thousand-year-old tin staff already has a new owner when he returns." β
"......" looked at the decisive chief priest, Isis had no choice but to nod helplessly, Aknadi's tone, everyone could see that there must be something strange about this matter, but it was no longer the level that Isis could manage, "Yes, I will arrange it." β
Isis quietly stepped back.
ββββββββ Guardian Priest Mahadββββββββ
Three days later, the new priest examination was held as scheduled, and the official explanation was that the return date of the Pharaoh's southern expedition to Nubia was approaching, and the scouts had already brought the news of a great victory, so it was possible to give the reserve priests another chance.
However, in fact, as long as the priests who have gone through the last assessment know more or less, this additional assessment opportunity is completely stained with Mahad's light...... No, to be precise, it's the light of Seth, who was rumored to have been hit too hard because of the previous rumors.
After all, before the last assessment, the official of the Priesthood said that it was an assessment to welcome the Pharaoh who had conquered Nubia in the south. Now for that...... Are we really fooled?
However, no one cared about the reason for the examination, and unlike the students who were saddened when they heard the examination thousands of years later, for the probationary priests of ancient Egypt, there was nothing more exciting for them than the formal examination of the priesthood, although there were not many people who could be admitted each time, but everyone knew that it was a rare opportunity.
Fortunately, Isis had notified the priesthood before, and she had prepared in advance, so this temporary play-off would not be messed up.
And before that, the high-profile appearance of Seth, who came back from outside, broke the rumors of his previous disappearance.
No one knows what happened during the time when Seth was "missing" outside, but as long as he was a human, he could see his confidence on the face of Seth when he returned, as if he had won the battle......
And to the current Seth...... Oh no, it's Seahorse Seto, it's a simple thing to do: "I didn't think it would be so easy, I thought it would be complicated." β
Seth looked at an alchemical product made of gold in his hand, this kind of thing, in the outside world, called a duel disk!
"Yes, how could people from thousands of years ago know that there is a big guy who specializes in designing duel plates here~" For the self-boasting president of the seahorse, a certain blue-eyed girl was lying on the side like a salted fish shouting "666", and protested in a low voice: "Dig up so much gold, why do you have to make this duel plate? Isn't it good to bribe the examiner with only half of the gold?"
"Huh?" the president turned.
"Nothing, nothing!" a certain undisciplined witch hurriedly denied what she had thought about before. I just thought about the source of the gold, and then thought of what had happened in the past few days, and what I had experienced in that "Valley of the King's Family......
A certain witch can really only sigh: Life, sometimes it's really more exciting than a play.
The blue-eyed girl who couldn't see people continued to hide herself, while the seahorse looked at the young priests who were working hard to show off their magic cultivation on them, and her heart was full of disdain for their president-a few days ago, she still kept these things in the day's book, but who would have thought that today, she would be able to stand at a high point they couldn't even think of looking at those guys.
"The pick-up of the dish, next. β
Priest Essis's cold words hit a certain priest who was performing the magic trick of "Great Change Pigeon" like a whip - Essis seems to be much colder today than a few days ago, and her unsmiling appearance makes people feel unapproachable, but for some reason, many probationary priests are even more excited when they look at this iceberg-like unapproachable Essis......
But the guy in front of him said that the honest seahorse also wanted to beat him: this is a priest test, not a circus clown test, why is he performing such a juggling thing?
"Next, Seth!" Elsis grimaced, and a formal priest on the side hurriedly called out the next person's name at the signal of her eyes.
The seahorse walked up confidently.
Isis looked at the seahorse at this time and frowned - he didn't even have a wand with him this time, he brought a rough gold product tied to his right hand, and it didn't look like he was here to participate in the priesthood examination.
Looking at Seth, who was full of confidence, Elsis was not easy to have a seizure - her expression today was simpler than the reason for the cold a few days ago, although she was a priest, Essis was a sister after all, and her relatives came every month today......
Although she could blame the matter on the other priests, Isis insisted that she had come here, and if Seth's performance was too bad later, or even just unsatisfactory, Isis would probably go crazy on the spot.
After all, if it weren't for him, there wouldn't be so much.
Seahorse naturally didn't know that Aunt Isis was coming, and he was looking proudly at the alchemy product in his hand, which was the brainchild of his work in the past few days - sure enough, he was still better at using this thing than any wand.
"Lord Isis, I'm back. The seahorse bowed slightlyβhe didn't care if this etiquette was in ancient Egypt or not, anyway, he had his own way of doing it.
"Ah, I remember you. Knowing that the young man in front of her was the origin of all this turmoil, Isis tried her best to pretend that she was not familiar with him, nodded slightly, and said, "Please start your show, Sethβif you need a wand, we can lend you one here, but you may not be suitable for it." β
As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a magic wand from under the skirt-like priest's robe - this should be some kind of hidden magic, and the priest called his own spiritual weapon in a similar way to calling elves, but the president, who didn't understand this, was stunned by this fierce girl at this time.
[Wow, I'm afraid it's seventy or eighty centimeters, or the king cobra's snakehead wand......] A certain witch who was secretly observing on the side was also surprised, [I didn't expect this big sister to be so noble and cold, but I didn't expect to have such a side...... The surrounding priests were not surprised, could it be...... Was Ancient Egypt so open?]
If the priest and Isis were to hear the inner thoughts of a filthy woman (unmistakable) at this time, would they hack this guy to death for their innocence?
The seahorse was also calm down immediately after being a little surprised, he didn't care where the other party's wand was hidden, at this time, just do his job, "Since that's the case, then I'll start." β
The president activated the "Duel Plate" in his hand, and then the magic power was mobilized by the president's consciousness and poured into the "Duel Plate" from Seth's body......
At the same time, a great soul awoke from a canyon and flew in the direction of Seth......
The president took out three stones engraved with red runes, and the runes on the stones began to exude a glow full of power, and at the same time, the spell that he forcibly recited from the stone slab in the Valley of the Kings was also recited by him: "The summoning of the holy seal will call the god of drought and storm, and open the power seal of the dragon that holds the power of the god-like power!"
Then, the three red runes shattered one after another, accompanied by a fierce wind, a dry wind......
And...... Dragon's Roar!
