Chapter XXVII: Maps
Cairo, Egypt, 1926. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On this day, Jiang Ning pondered the Extinction Curse in the room, and for three years, Jiang Ning's comprehension of the Extinction Curse was limited. Perhaps because of the damage to the soul, learning such a profound spell as the Extinction Spell always has a feeling of indescribability. Every time I feel like I'm about to get the point, but every time I always have a flash of inspiration, I miss the opportunity. So much so that this one-word mantra has not been fully learned until now.
"In three years, the wounds on my soul have only healed a little. I don't know how long I will have to wait for a full recovery. Alas, we have to find the Golden Sutra of the Sun and the Black Sutra of the Undead as soon as possible, hoping to find a way to repair the soul here. ”
The wound of the soul, as the butler said, is also a very tricky wound in the multiverse. If it was just a soul injury, it wouldn't have much impact on Jiang Ning. However, Jiang Ning stripped off a little bit of the true spirit of his life and fused it with the seed of the world. In this way, the harm is greater. If you want to repair the true spirit, you don't know how long it will take to wait until what year and month.
Today's hope, Jiang Ning is completely pinned on two scriptures.
And three years have passed, and I think the story should begin.
Jiang Ning, who was thinking like this, was suddenly startled by the rumbling sound downstairs. He hurried downstairs to check, only to see Evelyn looking bewildered. The library, on the other hand, is a mess.
"Oh my God! See what you've done? The director of the museum said angrily.
Evelyn stepped forward and explained, "I mean, it was an accident. ”
"Hehe" the curator sneered a few times, his eyes widened: "Ramses destroyed Syria by accident, and you, it's a disaster!" Compared to you, termites are simply pediatric. I don't understand why I want to keep you here. ”
After hearing this, Evelyn stepped forward and said proudly: "The reason why you keep me here is because I know all the history and documents of ancient Egypt. Also, I can read and write ancient Egyptian scripts. ”
"The reason why I keep you here is because your parents used to sponsor the museum when they were alive!" After that, he pointed to the mess everywhere: "I don't care how long you have to clean up, in short, you clean up here for me." Otherwise, you'll be gone. After the curator finished speaking, he walked out indignantly.
Evelyn looked at the mess and hung her head in frustration.
"Roar, look! What good deeds have I done, my dear Miss Evelyn? After the curator left, Jiang Ning came out gloating.
Evelyn said angrily: "Hell, Ning, you still talk cool things at this time. ”
"Haha, you've done your sloppy mistake again, Miss Evelyn."
"Damn, don't say anything like that, help me clean it up."
Jiang Ning raised his hands: "Please, Evelyn, these things can't be cleaned up for a while." Why don't you put it here first! ”
"Didn't you hear what the curator said? If I don't clean up, he'll chase me away. ”
Jiang Ning said innocently: "But he didn't set a date?" Alright, Miss Evelyn. Let's go out for a walk, these things should be kept for tomorrow! ”
"But ......"
Evelyn was about to say something when there was a strange noise in the exhibition hall.
"Go check it out!" Evelyn pulled Jiang Ning and rushed to the exhibition hall.
……
"Hello?"
Evelyn held a torch and began to look around. Contrary to Evelyn's nervousness, Jiang Ning put his hands in his trouser pockets and followed Evelyn indifferently.
"Hell, Ning. Can't you just be a little nervous? ”
Jiang Ning was puzzled: "Why should I be nervous?" ”
"Aren't you afraid of thieves here?" Evelyn emphasized.
"Why should I be afraid?" Jiang Ning was even more puzzled.
"You..."
Only then did Evelyn think of Jiang Ning's skills, even if he was attacked suddenly, he would be fine, and rolled her eyes and ignored him.
"Ah!!h
At this moment, a piercing scream came, and in the coffin in front of Evelyn, a dry mummy suddenly sat up. Evelyn screamed so loudly that she lost the torch in her hand.
"Haha!"
Jonathan happily sat up straight, one hand on the mummy's shoulder, the wrinkles on his smiling face huddled together.
Seeing that it was Jonathan who was playing a prank, Evelyn slapped him angrily: "Won't you respect the dead?" Jonathan!!! ”
Jonathan said disapprehantly, "Of course I would, sometimes I'd rather join them." Right, dude? This sentence was addressed to the mummy in his arms.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but admire Jonathan's thick nerves. Ordinary people don't necessarily have the courage to hug a mummy. Even if you have courage, it's not easy to pass the psychological level alone, and it's too embarrassing.
"If you want to join, join quickly, don't make me unemployed like you"
"My dear little sister, I want you to know that my career is taking off at the moment." Jonathan said dissatisfied.
"Take off? I'm not in the mood to go crazy with you. I just made a mess of the library and Banqiao College rejected my application. ”
When Jiang Ning heard this, he interjected: "Banqiao Academy rejected your application? What's going on, Evelyn? Depending on your level, it's totally enough! ”
Evelyn looked up at Jiang Ning and said with some loss: "They say that I am seriously inexperienced in the field of archaeology. ”
"To hell with those old pedants! Evelyn, believe me, you're qualified in archaeology. Since they say you're inexperienced, then you make a decent score and slap the old pedants in the face. Jiang Ning clenched his fists in support.
Jonathan also said, "Ning is right, little sister. And, I'm about to give you a gift. With that, an octagonal metal box was pulled out of the mummy's coffin.
Evelyn looked at the box carefully and asked Jonathan, "Where did you get this thing?" ”
Jonathan supplied: "I bought it in Thebes." ”
When Jiang Ning heard it, he laughed, of course he knew where this thing came from.
Jiang Ning's laughter made Jonathan a little embarrassed, looking at Evelyn's skeptical eyes, Jonathan stubbornly said, "It was indeed bought from Thebes...... Belch... All right! I mean, I got it from a friend. ”
Evelyn gave him a blank look, flipped through the box in her hand, and after a while, the box opened to reveal a folded multi-layered map.
……
"Look at the pattern on the monument, it's the royal seal of Seti I. That's for sure. ”
The curator said a little uncomfortably: "Probably! ”
"Wait, who is Seti I? Is he rich? "That's what Jonathan said, he's only interested in money.
Jiang Ning explained on the side: "He is the second pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty, and he is said to be the richest ever. It is also said that in the tower of Hamna, there are buried treasures that have been used by the pharaohs for burial. If anyone can get this treasure, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rich and rival countries. ”
"Jiang Ning is right!" Evelyn affirmed.
The curator glanced at Jiang Ning and said, "The Tower of Hamna is just a myth used by the ancient Arabs to coax Greek tourists, and besides, we are scholars, not treasure hunters." There have been attempts to find the Hamna Tower for years. As a result, none of them found the treasure, on the contrary, many died. This is enough to prove that Hamnata does not exist. I advise you not to think about looking for the Tower of Hamna, it will not do you any good. With that, he pretended to be inadvertently moving the map closer to the candle.
As a result, the map instantly burned, and Evelyn Jonathan was busy putting out the fire. It turned out that the most important part of the map, the location of the city, burned out.
The curator leaned back in his chair: "Maybe this is God's will, forget about Hamnata!" ”
……
Jiang Ning and Evelyn walked out of the curator's office, Evelyn held the map in her hand, and looked pity. Then, Evelyn remembered something and asked Jonathan, "Where's that friend of yours?" Take us over, Jonathan! ”
