Lumora's news didn't come directly, and he hadn't seen the scene before, but he was still scared like that.
"There are five hundred guards in the Valley of the Kings, more than two hundred craftsmen, and more than three thousand slaves...... Unas's voice is flat: "All dead." The Babylonians must have died too. ”
"Should?"
"There are dead people all over the place, and I take with me the heads that I have counted for half a day." Unas's breath was rigid and cold, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth: "There is no whole body left, the blood on the ground has soaked the sand red and black, and we can only count the heads." ”
I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest and wanted to vomit.
So who killed whom?
There are few people in Babylon, and there is no way to kill all those people in the Valley of the Kings, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
And, how could everyone die?
I suddenly remembered the massacre that had taken place in Minoa, and looked up at Unas: "What else do you see?" ”
"The tomb is collapsing." He said: "There is no way to get in, it has already collapsed into the ground, and now there is a floating sand, and the broken corpses and stumps that have not had time to be cleaned up have been swallowed by the quicksand." ”
The calmer he spoke, the more I felt stuffy and sad in my chest.
"I can't tell what the wound is, it's not a knife, it's not a sword, it's not a spear, it's not an axe......," said Unas, "I can't tell what it is." Our people, the Babylonians, are all the same dead. ”
He was very specific, but I was even more confused.
Let's put it this way...... I don't know who killed them, or what means they killed.
It's different from the one in Minoa.
"There is no way to confirm the situation in the mausoleum." Unas continued, the cold and stiff feeling in his body seemed to slowly relax as he spoke: "The minister has been derelict in his duties, please forgive your majesty." ”
"You can't be blamed for that......"
I felt that my voice was unfamiliar, a little hoarse, and the air currents were hoarse and soft.
"It's hard for you to hurry up and come back at this time." I sat down slowly: "You, go and rest." ”
Unas was silent for a moment, and then replied, "Yes." ”
I suddenly remembered, "King Ragseus, is he dead too?" ”
"It's hard to tell." Unas said, "Although I did not find him among those people...... But it is also possible that he did not escape from the collapsed tomb, or was ...... by quicksand It is also possible that he did not approach the Valley of the Kings at all, and the only people who could be found to confirm his identity were his men. ”
I nodded and waved my hand.
Unas stood there for a moment before slowly turning and leaving.
I felt a buzzing in my ears, and I couldn't figure out what was going on.
What happened in the Valley of the Kings?
I felt like the head was about to explode, and I couldn't figure it out.
What force will kill all those people?
Here's what's going on. The Valley of the Kings is obviously not a quicksand land, how can there be a sand nest suddenly, my royal tomb has collapsed into the ground, Immorton, Immortun him...... Was he bothered by those Babylonians hurting, he ...... Did you sleep in the ground?
I lay on the table, my mind tossing and turning, and my head felt more and more painful.
"Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin, what's going on? Did you know or not? ”
Xiao Jin looked at me with a pair of red eyes in confusion, and when Unas came in just now, it moved uneasily, and the breath on Unas's body ...... It's the breath of death. He stayed there, tainted with the smell of death.
There was a great crisis that I couldn't see was slowly approaching, and my eyes were wide open, but I could only see darkness.
I forced myself to calm down and summoned Lumorrah to ask him again. Unas came later, and said what he saw. And what about Lumora? Why is he so afraid? Just afraid of the dead? But he was used to this kind of thing, and there was no reason to be scared like this, not to mention that he hadn't seen it with his own eyes!
What was he afraid of?
I asked Lumora to come, and he came very slowly, which was different from his usual neat style.
"How did you get your message?"
He stood there, his posture stiff, his hands trembling slightly.
"What, you can't say anything to me?"
"No, no, Your Majesty, it's just this matter...... I, I can't say...... Yes, it will be blasphemous......"
My heart tightened, and my voice was still calm: "You can say it." ”
He knelt on the ground, his voice trembling: "Yes...... The group of guards closest to the Valley of the Kings had heard movement, so they ...... went to see what was going on, and sent the news back to Memphis with a kite. However, they are also dead......"
I know that the army does use the kite eagle to transmit messages, but it is very rare, and it is easy to catch eagles but it is too difficult to train eagles, so this method of communication is not commonly used.
"What about faith?"
Lumora's hands trembled, and he pulled a small roll of paper out of the dark slit of his belt. He held the scroll in a strange way, as if he was afraid that it would fall off, and that it would stick to his hand. No, to be exact, he seemed to be holding a time bomb and was always worried that it would blow up. It was like holding a poisonous snake for fear of being bitten.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please see."
I took the little roll of paper and slowly unfolded it.
There is only one word on the paper roll.
In fact, the hieroglyphs in Egypt at this time were still very primitive and had not evolved to the stage of ideograms. The shape is the shape, and the two words pictogram are very vivid and accurate.
On the paper is a scorpion word. The word is very pictographic, so to speak, the paper is painted with a simple scorpion, the dark black and red blood color, making the toothy and clawed scorpion look vivid and terrifying, as if it is about to jump out of the paper at any time, choose someone to eat.
"It's ......"
Lumora looked up, his expression filled with desperate fear.
"Your Majesty, this is, this is the curse of the demon scorpion. The legend turned out to be true...... There really is a curse of the Demon Scorpion Emperor......"
Demon Scorpion?
My chest felt like a hammer had been struck, and my ears buzzed, and I felt a little dizzy in front of me.
What's going on?
