Chapter 31: The High Priest
The Black Book of the Dead is a strange book that records all the spells and curses of ancient Egypt, and this book records a large number of spells, most of which are related to the dead. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info For example, the resurrection spell of the resurrection of the deceased, the enslavement spell that enslaves and drives the deceased, and other spells and spells, which simply dazzled Jiang Ning.
In contrast, Jiang Ning was equally interested in the same scripture that recorded the secrets of ancient Egypt, the Golden Sutra of the Sun. It is said that this scripture records the rituals used by the ancient Egyptian people for sacrifice and the secrets of the gods.
……
If the spells of the Black Sutra of the Undead are biased towards darkness, then the spells recorded in the Golden Sutra of the Sun are biased towards positive energy. This can be concluded from the original book. The Black Book of the Dead, which records the resurrection of the dead, does not have a spell to defeat the undead. In the Golden Sutra of the Sun, there is no spell to resurrect the dead, but there is a spell on how to defeat the dead. Therefore, it is easy to deduce the functions and attributes of each of the two texts.
The butler, who hadn't bubbled for a long time, spoke at this time: "Sir, although the witchcraft on this black scripture of the dead is unique. However, compared to wizards, there are still shortcomings. There are a lot of limitations, and when you become a Level 4 wizard, you'll know what powerful witchcraft is! ”
"The point is, I'm not a fourth-level wizard yet! Don't forget, I was demoted. Moreover, my soul was traumatized. There is no wonder or way to mend the soul. Relying on the spiritual sea alone, I don't know how much time it will take. ”
"I've become a wizard, but I'm just an apprentice. Nearly 200 years of life cannot be wasted here. Therefore, it is the first priority to help me repair the damage to my soul. Moreover, I have a vague conjecture in my mind. There is not enough information to confirm this conjecture, and everything is waiting for me to meet Immorton and talk to him. If I still can't find a way to mend the wounds on my soul, then I'll have to try that way! ”
"Sir, I'm sure you'll find a way!"
Jiang Ning smiled: "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words, butler!" ”
……
On the other side, O'Connor, Evelyn, and Jonathan ran for their lives, not noticing when Jiang Ning disappeared.
"Bastard, there's danger here, turn back!" When the hurried Yankees saw O'Connor and the three, they roared loudly, and O'Connor fixed his eyes on countless scarabs pouring in like a tide. One of the workers fell and was devoured in an instant by the scarabs swarming from behind!
"Oh my God!"
O'Connor's frightened soul flew away, and the shotgun in his hand fired several shots at the scarab tide. It only exploded a 'wave' and was filled by the scarab beetle behind it in an instant, and O'Connor turned around and ran away.
Afterwards, the three of them jumped on a high platform and escaped the terrifying scarab beetle.
……
When the scarab beetle dispersed, O'Connor noticed that Evelyn and Jiang Ning were missing, and he asked Jonathan, "Have you seen where Eve and Ning have gone?" Jonathan shook his head with palpitations and pointed to the place where Evelyn was standing just now: "Eve's obviously standing here just now, I don't know where she went." ”
"Hell, one thing after another!" O'Connor cursed, jumped off the platform, and made his way to where Evelyn had been. Try to push open the stone door in front of you, or find a mechanism that can move the stone door.
……
Evelyn fell through the stone door and came into a passageway, where she exclaimed. After carefully looking around, she saw a person in front of her, and after looking closely, she realized that it was one of the several Yankees: "Mr. Burns, thank goodness for finding you." ”
Burns turned around when he heard this, and the hollow eye sockets made Evelyn scream loudly in fright.
Burns said indistinctly, "My eyes, my eyes..."
Evelyn stumbled until a dry mummy emerged from the darkness, and Evelyn kept her legs on her feet until she touched the wall. She looked at Burns and cried for help: "Please save me!" ”
"He bit my tongue off!"
"Ansuna?" He mistook Evelyn for Ansuna, and then he raised his hand: "Come to me, Ansuna!" ”
……
After O'Connor rescued Evelyn, he met Adbay and his Pharaoh's guards around the corner.
"I said a long time ago, let you go, you don't go. Now, the monster is resurrected, and everyone is going to die! ”
"He's been killed." O'Connor said.
Adebay turned to look at O'Connor and said, "Listen, what you're seeing isn't a human at all. He is a monster who has lived in the dark for three thousand years! He won't be hurt, he won't bleed, he won't be thirsty, he won't be tired. ”
"I told you, I killed him." O'Connor emphasized.
"A mortal's weapon can't pose a threat to him!" With that, Adebay turned around and led his guards into the tomb.
……
"Is there anyone?" Benny the coward looked at the dark passages around him, holding the torch in his hand, and kept watching.
"Ahh
Benny turned around and screamed in fright at the mummy behind him. Even the torches were thrown away, and he was hindered, and Immorton kept closing in on him.
Benny pulled out a large number of amulets from his collar, and he held up the cross: "May God protect me, as a shepherd protects his flock" Seeing that the mummy was still approaching him, he then took out the Islamic crescent amulet: "Praise be to Allah for purity!" Praise be to Allah! There is no Allah but Allah (Arabic)"
……
Immediately afterwards, he took out the Buddha statue pendant and said in Chinese: "Please.... Bodhisattva.... Bless me" Seeing that it was still useless, he hurriedly took out the Star of David and said in Hebrew: "&¥#*%......"
Listening to the familiar language, Immorton stopped his movements: "The language of the slave? I might be able to use you! Out of nowhere, he took out a handful of gold: "You serve me, and you are greatly rewarded!" ”
Looking at the gold in Immorton's hand, Benny also forgot what fear was: "Please command, Your Highness!" ”
"Where are the other urns!!
"Immorton!"
"Huh?"
Immorton turned and saw a young man in a black robe standing in the darkness.
"Wizard?"
Jiang Ning slowly walked out of the darkness where he was hiding and approached Immorton: "I want to make a deal with you!" ”
"Heretics, who want to make a deal with me too? ......" He was speechless because he saw the Black Scripture of the Dead in Jiang Ning's hand and the key to open the scripture. He looked at Jiang Ning: "Say, what deal do you want to make with me?" ”
"I need to know if there's any way to heal the wounds of my soul!"
"Soul?" Immorton looked at Jiang Ning carefully and said with a smile: "Your soul is injured, wizard!" After speaking, he rushed towards Jiang Ning. But......
As if he had hit an invisible wall, Immorton bounced back hard, and before he could get up, ice spread from his feet upwards, freezing his limbs and torso, freezing him firmly.
Jiang Ning came to his side, condescending, holding a magic wand: "Even if my soul is injured, I still have a way to kill you!" Do you want to try it? Your Excellency the High Priest!! ”
Immorton didn't dare to mess around, he had not been completely resurrected, and now he was not Jiang Ning's opponent at all, when he heard Jiang Ning call him the high priest, he said suspiciously: "Do you recognize me?" Sorcerer! Benny on the side was completely stunned, he never thought that the Chinese with O'Connor were actually wizards. Today, his worldview has been severely impacted.
"You don't need to know how I recognize you, you just need to tell me how I can heal my soul! If you tell me, then this Black Book of the Dead, I will give it to you. Jiang Ning said.
In order to show 'sincerity' to freeze the ice of Immorton and gradually melt, Immorton got up: "The soul is very mysterious, and it is not something that mortals can covet. Perhaps, only the great Anubis can heal your soul. ”
"Is there no other way?" Jiang Ning was very disappointed, what kind of character is the Grim Reaper, how can a small mortal deserve to make a deal with the Grim Reaper?
Immorton was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe finding something that contains powerful life force can repair the soul." However, I've only heard that I don't know if I can heal souls. ”
"Butler, did he lie?" Jiang Ning asked the housekeeper, after all, Immorton's character was really not good.
"No, sir. He's telling the truth! ”
Jiang Ning looked at Immorton deeply, and just when Immorton thought that Jiang Ning would do something to him, Jiang Ning handed over the Undead Black Sutra in his hand to Immorton. This surprised Immorton, who didn't expect the wizard in front of him to keep his promise.
However, Jiang Ning didn't mean that. Ever since Immorton's resurrection, the butler has said that there is a strong will watching here. Jiang Ning guessed that perhaps this powerful will was Anubis, the god of death.
Whether it was Pharaoh or the High Priest, no matter what was alive, it was under the jurisdiction of Anubis after death.
High Priest Immorton came back from the dead, although it was because of the spell, but without the divine power of the god of death, he could not have been resurrected. To put it bluntly, for the Grim Reaper, it's just a game, a game activity he's watching.
Therefore, in order to leave a good impression on Anubis, Jiang Ning will keep his promise! God knows if it will be against Anubis in the future, if it is on Anubis's head in case it is requested. The good impression left today may add some impression points to Jiang Ning. If he didn't keep his promise, it wouldn't be possible to talk to Anubis. Death doesn't trust a person who doesn't keep his promises.
After getting the answer from the high priest, Jiang Ning walked out. Although there is no specific solution, there is a choice. Either way, you have to try it, and if it doesn't work, then you have to look for Anubis.
Seriously, Jiang Ning really didn't want to look for Anubis. God knows, what is the character of this god? In case, seeing that he is a heretic, not only does he not help, but destroys himself, then there is really no place to cry.
Therefore, Jiang Ning will not ask for Anubis unless it is absolutely necessary.
