Chapter Seventy-Four: The Five Temples
To Li Tianhao's surprise, Alfrette readily agreed to his request. Facing her stunned husband Alfrité, she smiled and said the reason, it turned out that Li Tianhao's staff Viscountess Tia had already told the queen about this behind her back, originally thought that Li Tianhao would go to get the Horus Scepter, but it turned out that it was her daughter Patura who could get this honor, which can be said to be a surprise for Alfrit, of course she is willing to accept this result. Of course, Alfrette also put forward her own conditions, that is, she must go with Princess Patura.
Looking at Alfrit's eyes, Li Tianhao understood that no matter how much he bothered, it was just a waste of time, and he had to agree to his wife's conditions. Li Tianhao turned his head to look at Tia, who had betrayed him, and gently waved his index finger. Tia bit her lip with a smile in her eyes, but her hand kept stroking her round belly.
Tia's appearance of Tia, who was about to give birth, made Li Tianhao smile helplessly, he took Alfrite's hand, took his wife in his arms and said, "Then I also have a condition, let's wait until Tia gives birth to a child before leaving." Hopefully, during this time Horus will not be in a hurry because of this. ”
The matter was thus decided, and while waiting for Tia to give birth, Li Tianhao made some preparations for this trip. The first was to determine the scale of the trip, and when they heard that the operation was about to begin, almost all of the senior generals of the Dilus army were eager to try it, after all, it was an extremely honorable thing for the Yakines to witness the feat of obtaining the legendary Horus Scepter, but the daily affairs of the Dils army and Palci could not be put on hold, so there were not many options for the entourage. Four members of the original treasure hunt team were the first to be selected. They are experienced, capable, and involved throughout. Giving up halfway is something they must not accept, hence the end Alam. Eglius, Brooks, and Mokado were identified.
Xenas was selected by virtue of his own force. There was no one in the Diles army who could compete with him except Li Tianhao, but the fundamental reason why he was selected was that there had been no recent war, and everyone's fear of him making trouble in peacetime outweighed the psychology of competition. Agobar, who was Li Tianhao's bodyguard, was also selected, and the giant, who had no ability to handle government affairs at all, would not have much effect even if he stayed. Surprisingly, Müller was also included in the entourage, and it was known that if the high-ranking general was not at his post, the training of the cavalry, which the Dils were so proud of, would suffer. However, the usually taciturn military general just said one sentence, which made Li Tianhao unable to refuse his request: "If Rang Zai misses the major events in the young master's life, then it will definitely be embarrassing in the future." ”
The number of the treasure hunt team has finally been decided. Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Tia successfully gave birth to a baby boy, and Li Tianhao named him Li Yaohong. After Tia had recovered after a few days of rest, the treasure hunt team officially set off. They followed Nisinis to the site of the Temple of Horus, deep in the mountains southeast of Durban.
If it weren't for Nisinis leading the way, I'm afraid no one would have been able to find the location of the Temple of Horus. To be precise, it was just the remains of the Temple of Horus, and even the local people of Yaqui rarely set foot in this mountainous area, because this mountainous area used to belong to the realm of the gods, and mortals could not easily set foot in it. With the passage of time, the saying of the Divine Domain has long been forgotten. Instead, it was a strange and mysterious place, and all kinds of bluffing rumors scared the surrounding people into not setting foot in this area, and after a long time, no one dared to come here, and gradually became a world of plants. And the temple of Horus was submerged in this dense jungle.
Navigating the rugged mountains and foliage jungles is a daunting task, and each step requires a great deal of physical strength, especially for Queen Alfret and the young Princess Patura. Fortunately, the experience of fleeing has made Alfrette much stronger. And Princess Patura's interest in the jungle seems to have surpassed fatigue, except for the fact that she will fall asleep when she is extremely tired, and the rest of the time is very excited.
After a full four days of arduous trekking. The group finally found the Temple of Horus in the middle of the forest. Due to the erosion of time, the surface structure of the Temple of Horus has been dilapidated. The collapsed walls connected to the stone pillars that still stand, covered with vines and wild grasses and wildflowers, but even the sheer size of the temple amazes every member of the treasure hunting team.
"Go this way." Nisinis's old voice had become the most familiar voice in the past four days, for she was the only one who knew where to go next. If she hadn't led the way, even if this group of people didn't get lost in the dense forest, they didn't know how many days they would have been delayed.
After nearly half an hour of walking through the scattered rocks, Nisinis stopped in front of a rubble ruin.
"This is it, the entrance is underneath this pile of rubble." Nisinis said.
"Okay, the physical work begins, let's do it." Xenas said as he moved his muscles, and it seemed that he was tired of the journey these days, and he began the clean-up operation with his strong arms.
Everyone worked together, but these heavy stones still wasted nearly half a day, and by the time they found the small entrance, the sun had already begun to sink in the west.
"Looks like we should camp, let's do it tomorrow." Li Tianhao suggested.
"No, can't stay here, trust me. We can only take a breath when we get to the dungeon. Nisinis vetoed his offer.
Li Tianhao shrugged and said, "Since you said so, of course I will do it, omniscient Nisinis." ”
Nisinis laughed a few times, "Your lord, you're polite. The old body is just to reduce unnecessary troubles for you as much as possible. Truth be told, there is a miasma in this area at night, which is not fatal, but it can make people dizzy and lose their ability to discern directions, which is why there are all kinds of strange legends in this area. ”
Li Tianhao laughed dryly: "Thank you for your explanation, of course it is best to be able to complete this matter easily." ”
Watching this scene, Alfrette whispered in her daughter's ear, "Did you see it?" Patura, your dad is a strange man, he seems to prefer trouble to easy victory. Look at his awkward look. ”
"I think it's funny that Dad is like this." Patula said innocently as she blinked her big eyes and looked innocently at her mother. (To be continued.) )
