Chapter 026: Art Gallery
Two months later.
Sunday.
In front of the Tong Mino Art Museum, Sock and the little penguin stood at the door, looking at the sign of "Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tomb Excavation" and staring wide-eyed.
Soke said to the little penguin with some reluctance: "To be honest, I don't really want to make a fortune from the dead, and these funeral goods look quite eerie, if I really steal those things, I shouldn't be cursed by something strange, right?" ”
The little penguin's chest slapped with a shocking sound: "Don't worry! With this god here, those demons and monsters can't turn the sky at all! ”
Sock sighed helplessly, reached out and took the soft meat on the penguin's neck and threw it on his shoulder: "With your small appearance, a wild dog can probably scare you out of, what is it...... I said let's go home, right? ”
"Don't!"
The little penguin was anxious: "It's all money!" It's been a long time since you've topped up a decent amount......"
"Okay, okay!" Sock is too lazy to be honest with it, anyway, he made up his mind that he wouldn't touch these things, just as a weekend event, just look at it, the sense of history is still quite attractive.
Thinking about it, Sock took the little penguin, and the two bought tickets together and walked into the art museum.
Everywhere you look, you'll find a display case full of earthen pots, figurines and statues of the god Anubis that ancient Egyptian pharaohs used for burial.
Anubis is the god of death and Osiris is the king of Hades, and it is rumored that Osiris is Anubis's father, but there is no conclusive documentary proof of this.
Traveling between worlds made up of countless millennia-old antiquities, in a trance, Sock seems to have arrived in another time and space.
There, the yellow sand fills the sky.
The Nile gave birth to life and gave birth to an incredible civilization.
One day, perhaps as fate in the underworld, the high priest of ancient Egypt used alchemy to create an artifact with dark power!
That was the beginning of it all, and the source of darkness.
The soul of the great evil god of the underworld, Sock, awakens from the endless darkness, he wants to conquer the world, but he can't break the barrier of the world.
And that artifact with dark power is the key that opens the door to two worlds!
Got the news.
The royal family, blinded by ambition, vainly tried to use the power of the great evil god to conquer the world.
Thereupon......
He unleashed the ultimate dark power that rivaled the gods, the Great Evil God Thork!
That day......
The golden sun, gone......
And the black sun is rising......
……
"Wow! It's amazing! ”
A noisy shout awakened Sock from his hazy vision!
Suddenly opened his eyes, Soke looked at the incomparably strange world in front of him, and for a moment, it was like a world away!
Hands caress the cheeks, there, the feeling of the yellow sand on the face is still so clear!
It seems that the truth that can be grasped with a stretch of hand is all dissipated at this moment......
The little penguin next to him noticed Sock's strange appearance, turned his head and asked, "Hey, are you okay...... Wow! You're sweating a lot! ”
Soke subconsciously wiped his forehead, and suddenly realized that sweat had already soaked his whole body!
I...... I'm ......
What's wrong?
Before Sock could think clearly, the familiar voice behind him sounded again: "...... Do all these treasures belong to the people who dug them up? Archaeology is too lucrative, isn't it!? ”
Sock turned around and saw a group of people walking towards him, and the one yelling at the art museum was obviously not very polite in the castle.
There were many people who were disturbed by him, and they all turned their heads away and glared angrily at the city.
The castle also seemed to realize that he shouldn't be noisy, so he quickly covered his mouth and kept apologizing to everyone with a dry smile.
"Hey, mediocre ......"
Sock snorted angrily.
The illusion just now was interrupted, and now there is no going back to that state, and when the black sun rises, what happened is probably no longer known.
Not even wanting to meet them, Sock turned around and left.
However, when leaving, Sok found that the thousand-year-old building block around Muto Games' neck was missing!
Is it left at home, or is it ......
……
A spirited old man beside him in the city replied with a smile, "It would be nice if it really belonged to me, before 1921, the excavators could get half of the treasure, but from then on, everything had to be handed over to the Egyptian Archaeological Bureau." ”
"Huh?" Jonai said with a disappointed face: "I'm going to go to archaeology in the future!" I can't make any money, huh? Really...... Obviously I dug it up, so what if I divide it? It's stingy! ”
The old man shook his head with a smile and said: "Not only Egypt, but all countries are the same, because those buried under the loess are all human treasures, and should not be owned by a private person, nor should they be bought and sold as goods, they are the crystallization and record of human civilization, and they should be better protected by the power of the state......
"I see, that's the case......" The game next to him also suddenly said: "I thought archaeologists wanted to make a fortune by digging treasures!" ”
The old man shook his head solemnly and said, "That's a tomb robber!" For the sake of selfish desires, the cultural relics are excavated and sold to the capitalists to obtain wealth, and it is said that they will be better protected, but a thief is a thief, not only the scum of mankind, but also the sinner of history! ”
……
Tsk, that's a good point, but I still choose to make a fortune!
A short and fat old man next to them first smiled gloomily, and then pretended to be kind and said to the game: "Game, then I will go and put this millennium building block in the booth according to the agreement. ”
At this time, Sok noticed that the thousand-year-old building blocks of the original game were held in the hands of this fat old man!
The game had some reluctance on his face, but finally nodded: "Okay...... But Mr. Curator, when today's exhibition is over, you must return the building blocks to me! That's my most important treasure! ”
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm only borrowing it for one day!"
The fat curator smiled weirdly, and secretly said in his heart: Only one day is enough! By tomorrow, it's already gone to San Francisco, hahaha......
A group of children have no social experience, but how could the last sly smile on the fat curator's face be hidden from the Jiangyang thief Soke?
With a cold snort, Sock shook his head.
Someone is going to die for himself, what a hopeless fool!
Originally, Sock wasn't going to care about him, anyway, in the end, the fat old man was inevitably sanctioned by the dark game, but just as Sock was about to leave, an American came to the fat curator's side, and said with greedy eagerness: "OH! Is this the Millennium Building Block? It's so beautiful...... Mr. Kanekura, I want this! No matter how much it costs, I want to buy it......"
Sock paused in his footsteps, and turned his head to reveal the dragon's cruel smile......
Yo!
Where did the rich man come from?
