Chapter 16: Another Artifact
The hoarse voice echoed throughout the stone chamber, especially the name he said at the end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Aaaa......a Tutu Tu ...... Mummam ......"
"Huh? Amumu? What a strange name. Charles said on a whim.
"It's Atum! Atum! ”
The voice suddenly changed from hoarse to childish, and rushed to speak like a child, but then it changed back to the hoarse voice just now and said, "How dare you offend the dignity of the Pharaoh! ”
"Eh, how does this feel a bit like Anna?" Charles scratched his cheeks, feeling that the tone of the voice was somewhat similar to that of mischievous Lux.
"Anna? Who is Anna? Can I ask her to come and play with me? "Being asked so nonsensically by Charles, the strange voice turned into a child's voice again, and asked eagerly.
"The voice I just heard up there, is that you?" Charles's timid mood had disappeared, and he began to ask cheerfully.
"Of course it's me, no one has come to play with me for a long time, come and play with me!" That voice is no longer the hoarse and terrifying voice, it has completely become a playful innocent child's voice.
"I don't want it! Who plays with sneaky people like you! ”
Having no fear of the voice, Charles began to reveal his true nature, and he turned to Cassie and said, "Cassie, let's go, ignore him." ”
"Hey! Come back! Where are you going? ”
As Charles spoke to the mysterious voice, Cassie stood aside and listened silently, and when she heard the childlike conversation between the two, the corners of Cassie's mouth showed a sly smile.
On the other side, in a dimly lit and narrow passageway.
Struggled through a series of hidden traps until we reached the only passage marked on the map.
However, Galen and Carter found that the entrance to the passage had been blocked by a collapsing boulder.
Carter could only reluctantly take out the map and look at it carefully, looking for another way, but, judging from the map, if he wanted to change the way, he would have to go out of the mausoleum, bypass a long way, and re-enter through another entrance to this mausoleum, so that it would be possible to reach the location where the Charles and they had gone.
"How's it going, do you want to get around?"
Carter explained the route that needed to be detoured to Galen and said, "If you get out of the mausoleum, we won't have a map to refer to, and we don't know what the situation is outside, you can decide for yourself!" “
"Of course it's going to be over, Charles is our partner, we're going to get together and go on an adventure again!" Galen didn't want to say it.
"Let's go, then." Carter replied gloomily.
Galen then remembered that with Charles, there was also the woman Carter called her sister.
"Well, Carter, what is the relationship between you and your sister? Isn't it bad? Galen caught up with Carter and asked in a whisper.
Carter stopped suddenly, glared back at Galen, then sighed softly and continued on his way.
Galen saw it, hurried after him, and continued, "Actually, Carter, I have a sister too. ”
Carter stopped suddenly, but only briefly, and then she began to walk on again, saying, "How's your relationship with your sister?" ”
Speaking of his sister, Galen was interested, and he said happily: "My sister, called Lax Anna, we have no parents since we were children, and when I was sensible, I began to wander with my sister, until we arrived in the town of Nassau, and met the town's uncle, who took us in, and then introduced me to the docks to move goods to make money to support me and my sister." ”
"I'm asking how your relationship is with your sister!" Carter emphasized.
"Oh...... Oh that, we have a very good relationship. ”
Galen was forcibly interrupted, stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What about you, how is your relationship with your sister?" ”
"My sister's name is Cassie...... We were born into a cruel family! ”
Speaking of his sister and family, Carter seemed to remember some unbearable memories, and his voice was full of grief and indignation.
"My family is a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it has been passed down to my generation, only me and my sister are the two direct inheritors, in order to choose one of the two of us to inherit the position of the family inheritance martial arts and patriarch, the family has given us a common task, to find the lost secret treasure, the supreme artifact of the legendary mage Landry - Zhongya Hourglass! As long as one of us brings the Zhongya Hourglass back to the family, we will be recognized as the next inheritor! ”
"You two, looking for an hourglass? What happens to the person you don't find? Galen easily found the question in Carter's words and asked suspiciously.
Carter was silent.
From this silence, Galen probably guessed the answer.
"Why do you want to do this, isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?"
"If so, do you think I'm still going to have to work so hard?"
"What if you hand over the hourglass together? Let's just say that it's a task that the two of you did together, is that okay? ”
"In that case, when we go back, we will face a life-and-death showdown!"
"How can this be, must it be like this?"
"This is our family's insistence, only such cruelty can make our hearts tough! Only those with a strong heart can lead our family to continue walking. ”
"It's too cruel!"
"Complaining won't solve anything, if I want to live, I must get the artifact before her!"
"Then why don't you run away from home, what's the use of such a family!"
"If I could, I would too, but they have a hundred ways to find us and kill me!"
Carter said silently, but then, as if she had thought of something, she said quietly, "Except for him." ”
"Him?" Galen asked curiously.
At that moment, there was a click, and a stone slab under Galen's feet sank.
Galen's whole body stiffened, and Carter glared at him angrily, as if he was not surprised by this kind of thing.
Then, the whole channel began to vibrate.
On the other side, Charles covered his ears as he walked, so that the nasty voice that had been chattering was a little quieter.
"Miss, is the one you said is called Master Landry very powerful, why haven't I heard of it?" Charles had already ignored the voice in his heart and began to talk happily with Cassie.
"As far as I know, Landry is a very bad, very bad evil archmage with bad hair to his toes, and he has done so many evils that he has finally angered the gods! Even the gods couldn't help but slaughter him with their own hands! After Landry's death, the god couldn't bear to give up his powerful magic, so a god named Zhongya made Zhongya's hourglass out of Landry's ashes, sealing his powerful magic in the hourglass! Cassie explained.
"You know the legend of Master Landry?" The chattering voice asked in surprise.
"I want you to talk more!" Charles was no longer afraid of the mysterious voice, and opened his mouth to scold.
"Hmph, what do you know, little man!"
"You know about Landry, too?" Cassie was interested, she had already begun to think about taking out the secret of Zhongya's hourglass from this mysterious and stupid voice!
"Of course, I'm Pharaoh, Pharaoh!"
"So, Lord Pharaoh, do you know where the hourglass is?" Cassie asked, feigning bewilderment.
"I don't know!"
"Haha, I'll just say this fool pharaoh is a funny character!" Charles grinned, clutching his stomach.
"Who said I was a fool! I don't know where the Central Asian hourglass is, but I do know where Master Landry's other artifact is! ”
"Another artifact!"
Cassie's eyes lit up, and she knew she was right, so she asked eagerly, "What's the other artifact?" ”
"Another artifact of Master Landry is the Demon Serpent Mask he once wore!"
"It's also called Landry's torture!"
