The boat was the same one I had prepared yesterday when Imorton and I wanted to leave, and I didn't think it would come in handy after all. Only this time, it took away not me and Immorton who were bent on getting out of here, but Carol and the unconscious Memphis.

The news of Memphis's departure was only known to so many people, and we had been delayed for a long time in that small underground temple, and by the time we stepped on the ground again, it was already sunset. I dismissed my guards, and the group silently and quickly came to the banks of the Nile, where the water rushed from the upper reaches and rushed downstream. The damp water vapor pounced on the person's body, and an uncontrollable sadness spread.

I know that Carol can return to her modern world through the Nile. However, I don't know if Memphis will be able to travel through the Gate of Time.

Maybe he can be saved, maybe, he will die in the river like this. I have a hunch...... Whether Memphis is saved or not, I will never see him again in this life.

From then on, we were separated by this river at both ends of time, separated by a long, thousand-year-old distance, which could not be crossed and reunited.

I held one of his hands tightly, and tears fell on the back of his hand.

Immorton hugged me and helped me to my feet: "Let them go, there is no time to delay." ”

My eyes were firmly fixed on Memphis's face, the child I grew up with, the only relative who depended on each other, and from now on I will never see his face again, and I will never hear his voice again.

"Please...... Take good care of him......"

Carol looked at me and nodded slowly but surely. She sat in the bow of the boat and let Memphis rest on her lap. This weak, often unaware of the height of the sky and the thickness of the girl who keeps getting into trouble, looks so strong at this moment. She gently supported Manfei's shoulder, and the posture seemed to support her, a whole world, so tender and veinful, so serious and focused.

Unas untied the cable tied to the stone stake, and the boat was carried by the flowing water, and slowly left the shore and drifted towards the middle of the Nile, slowly heading downstream. I covered my mouth to keep myself from crying, tears streaming frantically down my face.

The setting sun was slanting in the west, reflecting a golden-red light on the surface of the river, so sad, so tragic.

"Memphis!" I had taken two steps forward, had already stepped into the water, and shouted loudly, with all my might: "Meffil! You must live! You must live well! When he shouted the last few words, his voice was straightened, like the voice of a wounded beast. My eyes were full of the color of the sunset like blood, although the afterglow was still there, but there was no temperature, the people rushed by the cold river could not stand, my legs were weak, so I knelt in the water, the boat was getting farther and farther away in the sight, the wind on the river suddenly tightened, the people who were blowing could hardly open their eyes, the water was more turbulent, the wind and waves on the river were getting tighter and tighter, my hair was swept by the wind, the tips of my hair were pulled on my face, there was a dull pain, I raised my hand to hold the hair that was blown by the wind, and looked at the shadow of the boat that had become a small dot that had disappeared from time to time.

"Isis."

Immorton shouted my name and pulled me out of the water. I looked at him blankly, and for a moment my mind was blank, not knowing who this person was, not knowing why he was calling me. I don't know why I'm here. It's as if my chest is occupied by a great loss, and I can't find my center of gravity.

I blinked vigorously several times and opened my mouth, but I couldn't make a sound.

I'm not alone

The heavens and the earth in front of me suddenly spun...... No, it's not the heavens and the earth spinning, it's my own dizziness. Immorton picked me up. The sun sank rapidly, and the golden afterglow between heaven and earth disappeared in an instant, and the world in front of him suddenly went black.

At this moment, I don't know why, but I remembered that in the past, in the previous life, one night suddenly the power went out in the whole city, and in an instant it seemed that all the senses had lost their effect. You can't hear the sound, you can't see the light, you can't even find your own existence in such pure darkness.

I took his arm and whispered, "They...... Will they arrive safely? ”

Actually, I know better than Immorton that she will definitely go back, and Memphis is alive...... But it is slim, invisible and intangible. When I looked into the distance, the wind and waves on the dark river were so strong that I could not see anything.

"Let's go back." Immorton said: "They ...... Will definitely arrive. ”

Where will it go? Is it the other side of life, or the end of Yellow Springs?

I didn't ask again.

Immorton strode back to shore and said softly, "I know you're sad, but there's more important things ahead of you. ”

I glanced up at him. Immorton's facial features are well-defined, but such a knife-like line that makes people feel strong and majestic, this moment is full of softness and concern.

Yes, there is still a lot to deal with right now. The ill-intentioned emissaries, the revolts in Egypt that had been suppressed by Memphis with forceful means, the nobles who were suspicious of the young pharaoh's rule......

The day after the wedding, Pharaoh suddenly disappeared. If the news gets out...... The turmoil caused was enough to upend Egypt.

I nodded and whispered, "Let me down, I can go on my own." ”

He gently lowered me to the ground, and my skirt was half soaked by the river, and it felt uncomfortable against my legs. I turned my head and looked at a few people kneeling on the shore. Unas I can trust, and I'm the two monks under Immorton.

The news of Memphis' departure was now unknown to Idhombu and Sinuyeh, but it could not be concealed from them. It's just that...... Tell them the truth, will they believe it? The whole thing is full of strange and mysterious things, which cannot be explained by common sense. There were also nobles, officials, people, and other nations of Egypt who were plotting against them...... Things are complicated, grim and complicated.

I only felt that the burden on my shoulders was so heavy, so I instinctively straightened up and said, "Go back." ”
