Chapter 50: The Thorn of the Gods
The members of the old K-group tried it in the team channel and found that even several people in the same pyramid had no way to communicate with each other, and could only communicate through oral language.
By this time, it was already dark outside the pyramid, and the sun had finally sunk below the horizon. Some of the Viking sailors in the group lit torches that they had brought with them, illuminating the entrance hall of the pyramid.
The hall is not very large, and there is a concave curved stone wall not far ahead. There are a total of five stone gates lined up on the stone wall, and the gap between the stone gates is carved with numerous ancient murals, most of which are pictures of Egyptian pharaohs and courtiers wearing crowns hunting and merry, and a few tell about the war scenes of the Egyptian army.
These murals are vivid, and there are many star symbols engraved in them, which make everyone confused. Xu Mo regretted that he couldn't bring the Tieli Column, the first mate of the Vasa had studied astronomy and geography, and might be able to understand these ancient star languages.
In Raphael's team, there is also a female navigator named Algardis, who is a knowledgeable scholar who is very knowledgeable and researched in literature and archaeology, and is estimated to be able to solve the mysteries of these star languages and make the treasure hunt team less dangerous.
"Admiral, which door are we going through?" Azhisha frowned and folded her arms around her shoulders, setting off the pair of meat balls on her chest more plump and straight, ready to erupt.
"The one in the middle!" Despite not being able to get in touch with Raphael's team, Xu Mo's decision was still quick.
The pyramids are the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs, leaving no one safe for outsiders, and they need to take the initiative to remove traps along the way.
"Click!" More than twenty Viking sailors worked together to push open the stone door in the middle. There is obviously a clever enclosure between the gaps in the stone door, and it will still close slowly after being pushed open.
"Destroy this stone gate!" Xu Mo's eyes flashed, and he quickly gave an order to the Viking sailors.
The Viking sailors around were stunned for a moment, they rushed to rescue their companions, it would be good to save a little time, there was no need to waste energy here in Shimen. However, since the Admiral had already given the order, the crowd acted quickly and blew up the stone gate.
"Boom!" The sound of explosions echoed through the halls of the pyramids, making everyone's ears ring. When the dust and fog of the explosion cleared, the intricately designed blue-gray levers in the door frame were revealed.
In fact, Xu Mo's decision was correct, this stone door was easy to open from the outside, but after everyone entered the corridor, it could not be opened from the inside to the outside. Although it can also be exploded with ** inside, but once it is in an emergency, it will be too late in time.
"Your Excellency, there is something going on here, I need you to take a look!" Shortly after the team entered the corridor, Wood's voice was heard in front of them.
Xu Mo quickly walked out of the crowd, and in the open space in front of the team, there were two corpses lying horizontally.
"They are pirates of Venice." Christina covered her nose and looked at it carefully for a while before speaking.
In the eyes of an Oriental like Xu Mo, all Westerners are the same. In the eyes of Westerners like Christina and Dinah, there are still obvious differences in ethnic ethnicity and clothing in different regions.
Xu Mo nodded, if the Viking sailors in Raphael's team suffered casualties, they would also bring the corpses of their companions with them. Although Caterina was a pirate, her men were originally Spanish sailors, and these people would also take their dead companions with them. Only the most disciplined Venetian pirates would leave their bodies alone.
"Wood, have you noticed anything, why am I standing here, there is always an uncomfortable feeling!" Xu Mo frowned tightly and turned to Wood.
"Admiral, please leave it to me!" Wood's eyes flashed, and he suddenly bent down and rushed towards a corner of the corridor, as he pulled out a silver boning knife from his bosom and slammed it into the void.
"Poof!" The void produced a small ripple, and an eyeball-like object with small bat wings emerged, the central eyeball had been pierced by the silver knife in Wood's hand, and after two twitches, it fell to the ground and died.
"What is this?" Serna took two steps forward and asked in deliberate surprise.
"Hehe, I guess it's a gypsy wizard's trick!" Wood chuckled dryly twice. Of course he knew what it was, it was a summoning reincarnation-like demon.
"No, it's not supposed to be a gypsy thing!" Curiously, Christina picked up the creature and looked at it, immediately denying it. The red-haired beauty has been in and out of bars all year round, has a good relationship with many gypsy dancers, and has learned various gypsy dances from them, so it is natural to know that the gypsies have never kept this creature.
"Admiral, this is the only one, there is no one nearby!" Wood digressed and muttered. The seafarers of this era are well-informed, and it is really hard to fool.
When Wood eliminated this demon, a reincarnation in the underground labyrinth of the pyramid, his body stiffened slightly, and he frowned and reported to the leader in front: "Deputy Commander of the Thorn Assassin, my little eyed demon was killed, I'm afraid there is a treasure hunting team outside!" ”
"Got it!" In the shadows in front of the corridor, a cold word sounded. Strangely, hearing this cold tone, this summoner calmed down instead.
In fact, Thorn's heart was not as calm as this Pantheon member imagined. They arrived in Alexandria a few days before the Vasa, and the mission was not aimed at the pyramid treasure, but at an Egyptian temple near Cairo.
Just as the Thorn was about to lead the group to Cairo, they ran into Katerina's party, who was tracking John Farrell. Although Caterina is wanted by Spain** and is also the target of the bounty mission, the red-haired female pirate from the Spanish Navy has maintained considerable loyalty to her homeland.
She also has a good impression of the privateer warships hired by Spain, and under normal circumstances, she will help wherever she can. Taking this opportunity, the Treacherous Assassin and his party hit the snake with the stick, hugged Caterina's thigh, and asked her to send sailors to help them find the treasure, promising to divide the treasure into two parts, and Caterina could also share one part.
Caterina was not actually interested in the treasure, but when she arrived in Alexandria, she lost track of Farrell and agreed to the treacherous request. Of course, Thorn was not so kind to help Katarina, the deputy head of the Temple of Gods had a crush on Caterina's battleship.
The Temple of the Gods currently has only one large warship, Odin's Chachar, and the warship that Treacher uses to find treasure is only an armed merchant ship. However, Caterina has a very strong strength, and the thorn does not dare to act rashly, so he designed to trap Caterina and her party to death in the treasure ruins. Then take advantage of the leaderless group of Spanish sailors to occupy the battleship.
If Thorn had achieved this, they would have not only completed Katarina's bounty, but also acquired a large battleship for the Temple of the Gods, and their strength would have increased considerably. This will be of great help to complete the other two gold and silver episodes. In terms of warships, they no longer have to fear the Vasa and the Sovereignty of the Seas.
However, Thorn's good fortune didn't seem to run out, and when he and Caterina gathered their team to head to Cairo, they saw the Vasa approaching the harbor!
The Castel Road Chamber of Commerce flag on the Vasa did not hide from the stingy eyes. There are only a dozen battleships of this magnitude in the world, and each admiral has their image on the table, not to mention the "tyrant of the sea" - the Vasa.
They actually left Tripoli and really came to Alexandria in search of treasure! The moment the Vasa entered the port, Thorn felt his heart beat violently, as if it was about to explode. It suddenly dawned on him that the fate of the Temple of the Gods seemed to be in his hands. Every next step he takes will determine the success or failure of the Temple of the Gods in this world.
The deputy head of the Temple of the Gods did not dare to slack off, and immediately informed the commander of the Vasa of Odin, who was currently preparing for a mission in Sardinia, of the whereabouts of the Vasa.
The Temple of the Gods, which had already planned all its tasks, was disrupted by this accident. Is it to carry out the original plan? Or let the detachment led by the Thorn snipe the Vasa? The upper echelons of the Temple of the Gods were divided.
The Gods and Temple's intellects unanimously suggested that Thorn should be allowed to decide whether or not to attack the Vasa according to the actual situation, which was actually a disguised agreement with Thorn's attack plan. Their commander, Odin, vetoed the suggestion and sternly demanded that the assassin carry out his original plan and not move the Vasa.
The thorn who received the order was full of emotion, a super team like the Temple of the Gods, once the mission was planned, would not easily change the plan. If it was in normal times, there would be no thorn and absolute obedience to the regimental commander Odin, but this time the situation was different.
The original plan of the Temple of the Gods was to have the collaborative team do the small task of hire, and the treacherous leader led the sub-group to do the treasure mission, while the main team had to carry out the golden plot mission of nine deaths and one life. However, instead of being confident of defeating the "Sea Sovereign" and the Caribbean King at sea, they prepared to assassinate the Caribbean King Henry Morgan, the Assassin of the regiment Odin himself, when the "Sea Sovereign" entered the port.
In the moment of crisis for the team, Odin chose to carry the entire temple of gods by himself. Originally, the most suitable person for this kind of assassination mission was the assassin, and Odin sent the assassin to carry out the treasure mission, in fact, he took the risk of the assassination and used his life to win the life of the members.
At that time, the thorn did not object, and silently accepted the arrangement of the regiment commander. If he were to assassinate Henry Morgan, the success rate would be higher than Odin's, but the chances of escaping were extremely low. Odin is different, Odin is one of the most powerful MTs in the Y space, there is none. With the help of the rest of the Mission, as long as the assassination attempt in the neutral port is successful, it is more likely that they will escape safely.
"I'm sorry, Captain! I can't listen to you this time! In the shadow of the pyramid corridor, a faint sigh was heard.
