Chapter 336: City of the Dead
"Shen, why are you so interested in Seti I?"
Evelyn held a thick historical book, and sat on the bed in the silent room, she sat very dignified, with the quality and elegance that a Western literary and artistic woman should have.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Do you remember my warning to you? ”
Evelyn's eyebrows frowned slightly, trying to remember for a moment, and replied tentatively, "What you're saying is that without your permission, you're not going to chant the resurrection spell on the Black Book of the Dead?!" Because it seals a monster that has been sleeping for 3,000 years?! ”
"That's right!" Shen Mo picked up the cup of hot boiling water that he had just poured for himself, and took a sip gently, the water temperature was right, but the water quality was a little heavy, and the entrance was astringent, he put down the water cup and said solemnly, "The reason why I don't let you chant the resurrection spell is because I am afraid that you will resurrect that monster, or the high priest Immorton of Seti I!" ”
"Immorton!?"
Evelyn looked puzzled and shocked, she thought she knew the history of ancient Egypt very well, but she had never found any records or texts about Immorton in any ancient books.
So?! Is there really such a person in history? If so, why is he not recorded, and why is he a monster sleeping in the Tower of Hamna?
Evelyn's curiosity was aroused again, and she moved around the bed, subconsciously moving closer to silence.
"Shen, please stop adjusting my appetite and tell me everything you know! I'm really curious about where this Immorton came from and what happened to him. ”
Shen Mo looked at Evelyn, who was eager to try, and did not mean to hide her truth, after all, the more Evelyn knew now, the fewer mistakes she would make when she reached the Hamna Tower, and after Shen Mo obtained the Black Sutra of the Undead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun, the more Evelyn helped Shen Mo.
After all, it's a great way to win Evelyn's trust and stop being stupid.
"Evelyn, this story starts 3,000 years ago·····"
Silence tells Evelyn about Immorton's affair with Suanna, their collaboration to kill Seti I, the last suicide, and the story of the soul trapped in a mummy for 3,000 years by the most brutal insect killing in ancient Egyptian history.
Of course, Shen Mo did not tell Evelyn about the resurrection of Immorton, because this matter involved Shen Mo's plan to use the Americans to resist the curse and come up with the Black Book of the Undead.
Evelyn listened to the story and remained silent for a long time, and it was not until she silently drank the hot water from the cup and filled herself with a new glass of water that Evelyn recovered from her shock.
"Shen, according to what you mean, there really is some kind of mysterious power in this world... Or is it God?! ”
Shen Mo nodded, the real world is in a state of aura recovery, whether there is a god or not, Shen Mo doesn't know, but in this mirror world, there are really gods, such as Anubis, the god of death in ancient Egypt, and Ra, the god of the sun.
According to the setting of the plot, the two legendary books of the dead and the golden sun that Shen Mo wants to use are the artifacts that Anubis of death descended to the world, and Anubis chose his agent in the world with these two books, which is the so-called guardian of the dead.
Immorton was the chosen guardian of the dead by Anubis during the reign of Seti I.
If it weren't for Immorton offending Anubis's divine might for the so-called love, his history would have changed dramatically.
Therefore, this sentence does have a certain historical basis.
"So, when we reach Hamnata, will we offend Anubis, the god of death, will he take us..."
Evelyn was a little worried and afraid, as long as she accepted that there was a god in this world, as an ordinary person, her first reaction was naturally the fear of God.
Shen Mo shook his head and comforted, "You can rest assured that God cannot directly intervene in human affairs, at least not in my opinion. ”
Indeed, no matter how strong the god of death Anubis is, he cannot directly intervene in the human world, and he has to honestly rely on the power of human agents to perform his miracles.
Whether it is Immorton or the Scorpion King, they are actually the medium through which Anubis, the god of death, descends his divine power to the human world.
Therefore, Shen Mo was not worried that he would be directly crushed and slapped to death by Anubis, the god of death.
Everyone comes out to mix, they all have to be reasonable, talk about rules, there are no rules and circles, this mirror world will not be messed up.
Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to face the gods of ancient Egyptian legends, which was somewhat like Ye Gong was a good dragon.
"Shen, since the high priest of Seti I has such divine powers, is it true that the legend said that Seti I was the adoptive father of Moses?"
"Moses?!"
Shen Mo knows that this leader, who is the founder of Judaism, is hailed as a prophet in many religions, and is respected even today, 3,000 years later.
As for the relationship between Seti I and Moses, Shen Mo really didn't know, so he could only tell Evelyn the truth and pull away from the topic.
"Let's talk about Hamnata instead!"
A silent gaze swept over Evelyn's gauzy-thin pajamas, and she kindly reminded, "Before and after we reach Hamna Tower, I advise you not to wear pajamas, and it is better to be ready to enter battle at all times. ”
Evelyn felt the silent gaze and twisted awkwardly, "Why?" Didn't you say that as long as I didn't tell the curator about our trip to Hamnata, we wouldn't be in danger? ”
"Yes! We're not in danger, but we're not the only ones on this ship going to Hamna Tower, and you know the reason why the fire at the gate affected the fish in the pond! ”
Evelyn nodded suddenly, "What do you mean, they're already here?" ”
"Yes, the descendants of the Pharaohs have come."
Yes! Evelyn exclaimed, stood up from the side of the bed suddenly, and panicked to rush back to her room and change into a suitable dress for herself, after all, wearing such revealing pajamas, in front of that group of bandits, it was simply fat on the board, and anyone wanted to eat a bite.
Shen Mo shook his head and smiled, "Don't be so nervous, to be exact, they've already been here." ”
"Huh? What does that mean? ”
"If you want to see them, you should be able to find them under the water now, and there will be their bodies on the banks of the river tomorrow morning."
Evelyn became more and more shocked, "Shen... You've already fought with them?! When did they board the ship, were you injured, and did our side suffer a lot of losses? I mean, what about my brother Jonathan? Is he okay! ”
"They're all right, and they don't even know that the descendants of the Pharaohs have set their sights on our ships, and those descendants of the Pharaohs have already been dealt with by me before they can board the ship."
Evelyn blinked her big eyes of surprise and curiosity, "Shen, you solved them alone?!" This... How can it be? ”
Evelyn resounded as her brother Jonathan reminded her when he got on the boat, and Jonathan said that Silence was an Oriental with mysterious powers, and he was not only handsome, but also possessed powers that were incomprehensible to ordinary people.
At first, Evelyn thought that her brother Jonathan was drunk and full of nonsense, but now it seems that the silence is really as her brother Jonathan said, with mysterious powers that they cannot understand.
This mysterious power shrouded the silence like a tempting red cloud mist, making him look more and more charming and excellent.
Evelyn put down the ancient historical books in her hand, and she asked curiously, "Shen, why don't we talk about you!" I'm curious, everything about you. ”
Shen was stunned for a moment, this was the second time he sighed alone with a white woman, the last time he met Rachel in the world of Midnight Bell, Rachel's whole mind was on his son, so he didn't express to Shen Mo the straightforwardness and decisiveness that any white woman should have.
Now this Evelyn simply expresses the openness and directness of white women vividly, and does not hide her curiosity about silence at all, and asks everything about silence so bluntly.
This kind of character is really interesting for men.
But Shen Mo didn't plan to tell Evelyn about herself, after all, no matter how beautiful she was born and how interesting her soul was, she was just a character in the mirror world after all.
Silence is to let go of principles and have a love with Evelyn that crosses space, time, levels, gender, and everything, which is also destined to be a fruitless love.
Silence is not an unprincipled person, even if it is floating, it is also exquisite! How can I see other girls upside down, and I keep thinking about it in the lower half of my body, which is something that only animals do.
Everyone is a civilized person, and we must know how to measure and deep.
Shen Mo decisively rejected Evelyn's request, and the two chatted for a while, and Shen Mo issued an eviction order and sent Evelyn out of the room.
Evelyn stood frustrated outside the silent door before leaving, unwilling to leave for a long time, and wanted to knock on the silent door again several times, but Evelyn reluctantly chose to give up when she remembered the way Shen Mo rejected her.
As the saying goes, men chase women across the mountain, and women chase men across the veil.
But for Shen Mo and Evelyn, the veil between the two of them is obviously much thicker than that of ordinary people, and it will definitely not be broken if Evelyn only pokes it with her wishful thinking.
The boat bound for the small town of Sham continued on the Nile, and at the same place where the descendants of the pharaoh were killed in silence, a group of men in black reappeared, and they found the broken canoe and the corpses of their companions who had just floated from being filled with water.
"Adesbay! They all die! There was not a single bullet hole in the body, and the part was drowned. ”
The man known as Adesbay is the leader of the descendants of the pharaohs of the day, and if O'Connor had seen him, he would have recognized him as the man who had stood on a cliff and watched O'Connor leave the Tower of Hamna.
There was a hint of solemnity in Adesbay's wise eyes, and he couldn't help but look in the direction of the ship's departure, as a contemporary leader, he knew more than ordinary guards.
"That boat has the power of a god we don't know about, and he should be able to control the current!"
"A god who controls the flow of water?! It can't be, Adesbell, there is no such power in the gods we know. ”
"I know that, but what if he's from somewhere else?"
“····”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Inform everyone, prepare to assemble at Hamna Tower, no matter what, we can't let them release Immorton ·····"
Adesbay said so, but in his heart there was a different idea, which seemed particularly unorthodox compared to the beliefs and duties he embraced.
That is, Adesbay hopes that the group will resurrect Immorton and destroy the Hamna Tower.
Why?! Isn't Adesbay supposed to guard the Tower of Hamna? Why did he have such an idea?
The reason is naturally very simple, 3000 years! Adesbay's ancestors have guarded the city of the dead for 3,000 years.
Is this ruin worth guarding for 3,000 years and continuing to protect it?
For the past 3,000 years, their faith has been subjected to the impact and baptism of time all the time, and by the time Adesbell's generation arrived, he had long wanted to get rid of the shackles of Hamnata, or the curse.
Led by an army of descendants of the Pharaohs who could defeat the British, was Adesbay's ambition only to protect the Tower of Hamna?
No! His ambition is all of Egypt! Even the world.
With the wealth and power in Hamnata, Adesbay has such a foundation and strength.
In fact, as early as three years ago, he had such an idea, otherwise, he would not have chosen to let O'Connor and Benny go or leave the Hamna Tower, the reason why he did this was to let O'Connor and Benny bring people back, with their hands, for the descendants of the Pharaoh, to get rid of the constraints and curses of the Hamna Tower 3000.
This is a leader who carries out his beliefs and teachings on the surface, but has his own ambitions and ideals behind the scenes.
With such a leader, Shen Mo and the others' journey to Hamna Tower became extremely smooth.
Until the ship docked in the small town of Sham, the people bought the necessary camels and supplies and set out on a journey across the Sahara Desert, they were not hunted down by the descendants of the pharaoh.
And from the desert to Hamna Tower, in the original plot, everyone only walked for four or five days, but in reality, Shen Mo and the others walked for fifteen days before they reached Hamna Tower.
On this day, the morning sun is about to rise on the horizon of the Sahara Desert, and Shen Mo and the others ride desert camels, standing quietly in place, waiting for the first rays of morning sun to fall on the yellow desert, and the scenery in front of them is like a mirage to fade their mysterious veil, revealing their proper appearance.
Hamna Tower!
City of the Dead!
A land of riches and death!
They finally arrived.
And Adesbay has been waiting for Shen Mo and the others for a long time. He didn't choose to attack Shen Mo and the others directly, but like a dormant beast, he quietly waited for Shen Mo and the others, waiting for them to release the monster that had bound them for 3,000 years.
