"I still have something to ask the medical officer from Egypt, why is this leaving?"

"It's just that the priestess has to go back first, and the healer from Egypt is still in the temple." The servant hurriedly explained: "Your command must not make us a mistake. ”

"That's right......" He took a step forward, suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Matt......" I whispered, "my name is Matt." ”

"Really?" He was not surprised that many people in the Egyptian temples took names that resembled gods because of their reverence for them, but only good people could do so. Minoa seems to have such a habit as well. He didn't say anything more, and the man who followed him whispered, "Grand Priest, there are still many things waiting for you to arrange in the afternoon......

"Got it......"

I watched him and the two servants walk away slowly, and suddenly turned their heads to one side.

My instincts tell me that there's a gaze there.

But......

There was only a wall in the distance, and no one was in sight. To the left is a neat row of columns, and to the right is a small flower bed. I don't know when the clouds piled up, the sun had disappeared, and the empty courtyard looked a little bleak. The wind whipped a few leaves in the ground.

There is no human track.

Is it my delusion?

No, it's not.

There must be someone, watching here, and I feel that nothing has gone wrong.

Maybe the eyes, the person was hidden behind the wall, or maybe it was ......

The underground weirdo Andos said that there are also secret passages in the temple, isn't he the one he only met through the secret passages here?

There was no one around, only two priests in the distance slowly turning the corridor, and I flashed quickly across the courtyard, leaning against a tall stone pillar, and looked carefully at the wall.

That's where the gaze comes from, right?

Some of the grey stone walls look old, with embossed carvings of Minoa myths, the god of fire at war with the devil, and ......

I was stunned, the mottled stone wall, the position of the fire god's eyes, a little light flashed in the deep darkness.

It's the human eye that's reflecting.

I stood in front of the stone wall, and the bushes in front of me rattled twice, and a hand reached out and whispered, "Isis? ”

It's Andos.

I handed him my hand, and I felt my body being pulled forward slightly, and I was about to hit the stone wall, but the place where the devil was carved suddenly opened up and became a hollow. I felt it dark, and there was a slight noise behind me.

Looking back, the wall had closed again.

"Why are you here?"

"I ......," he whispered, "why are you here?" He still didn't speak very fluently, but there was a hint of joy in his voice.

"I'm with the medics," I said, "you said that there is a secret passage in the labyrinth that leads to the temple, is that here?" ”

"There are two exits to the temple, one here and one in the inner courtyard." He lowered his voice, and it sounded even more urn-like, and if he didn't pay attention, he really couldn't hear what he was saying. I used to study the language of Minoa for about two years, and although I could listen and speak, I was not particularly fluent. Andos gestured again, and I finally understood what he meant by a ray of light from outside.

"Do you often look outside from here?"

"I don't come often," he whispered...... "Sometimes Mother comes, and here I am...... Look at her. ”

I see.

He lowered his head again, and I diverted from the words: "Where is the opening of that secret passage in the inner courtyard?" ”

He said, "Ah, I'll take you there, it's narrow, it's a room, I don't usually go there......"

Before I could react, he grabbed my arm and lifted it up, and I sat on his shoulder.

The last time I was carried by him, I wasn't too surprised. He stooped away from where he had been, and walked swiftly in the darkness, and I only listened to the sound of the air flowing in my ears, and in the blink of an eye, he said, "Oh, this is it." ”

This place was a little narrower than the one before, and Andos leaned down and leaned over with his upper body, leaving me a little free. He flicked the mechanism on the wall and gestured.

His attitude seems to be as simple as inviting a friend to sit down for tea at home instead of taking me to peep.

Because, this underground labyrinth should be his home. These silent, outward gazes are the whole of his spiritual life......

I also leaned down, and there was a crack in the wall, but when I looked out from here, I could only see ......

Foot.

Several pairs of feet are here.

Sound and light came in through this slit. I don't know which wall or corner of the house this crack is in, and the people in the house will not notice it at all.

The people who built this underground labyrinth are truly remarkable.

Something suddenly occurred to me.

Andos, did he bring Immorton here?

The people in the room were talking, and I heard the voice of the Kadanya doctor, the unfamiliar priest talking.

Also, the voice of the Grand Priest of Grados, whom I had just seen, spoke.

They were discussing a little bit of the medicine that Kadanya had brought. Although it did not have the disease of King Minoa, it did always treat some people in Egypt who had similar symptoms.

Grados asked a few places and gave them a polite send-off. I heard Kadanya say goodbye and go out, and there were only three people left in the room. And then another one left.

So there were only two left.

Grados took a few steps back and forth in the room, his size and gait not at all like that of a complete priest.

I think there is a kind of domineering spirit in him that a priest should not have.

It is not surprising that this temperament appears in the body of a military general or a warrior.

But...... Why would it appear in the body of a pampered high priest?

"Look, will this be useful?"

The other asked in a low voice.

"Perhaps......"

Grados' footsteps stopped, not far from us, and then something fell into the ground.

It is a few pages of papyrus, a papyrus peculiar to Egypt, which records the prescriptions and cures, and the papyrus brought by Kadanya.

The paper was already on fire, tongues of fire licking the pages, and soon they all burned, and then quietly turned into a pinch of ashes underground.

Why did he burn the prescription?

What does this Grados, he, want?

"You write a copy according to the prescription just now, change it for two herbs, and I'll show it to the Queen Mother when I come back."

Another voice said, "The Egyptian medical officer is still there...... Will he be bad? ”

"No, it won't." Grados's voice was clear: "He will not see Minos and the Queen Mother at all, nor will he touch the medicine, and he will send those Egyptians back tomorrow, and they will not let them disturb our plans." ”

Plans, what plans?

Feeling Andos' shoulder move, I reached out and pressed him.

I felt the muscles under my hands hard like rocks.

What's going on in Andos's mind?

I do not know.

I listened carefully to the two men outside.

Their voices were lowered, and I could only faintly hear the staccato words.

"We ...... Mickenny ......"

Mikenny!

Isn't that the original of the ancient Greeks?

It turns out that they ......

"There are many dreams at night, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the opportunity is still slim and hard to find, so it's better to ......"

Anyway, he probably didn't say it, but made some gestures. This must have been a conspiracy against Minos and the Queen Mother.

They said a few more words, and then there was no further talk, and the other departed, and Grados did not stay in the house any longer, pushing open the other door and leaving.

Andos's body stiffened, and his arms trembled slightly.

Because of the shock? Or angry?

This high priest with divine power turned out to be a spy of the Mikenny people hiding in Minoa.

And what I care about is, is Immorton victimized?
