Chapter 699: Into the Desert

After the death of Alexander the Great, his vast empire was torn apart, orphaned and widowed, and completely unable to suppress the group of proud soldiers who followed Alexander everywhere he went to war. The vast empire descended into chaos, and then the governors of the provinces and the generals who had been with Alexander on the war took the opportunity to divide the territory and claim hegemony, thus plunging into centuries of chaos.

A short-lived empire rises quickly, but it also perishes quickly. All that remains for posterity is a vast territory spanning three continents and the military splendor recorded in writing.

After the empire fell apart, the governors and generals of the provinces divided their kings, and the ancient kingdom of Egypt entered a phase of foreign rule once again after its conquest. Ptolemy, Alexander the Great's general, after cultivating his own power. With Alexandria as its capital, the Ptolemaic Egyptian Dynasty was established, which began a rule that lasted for nearly 300 years.

Later, with the rise of the Roman Republic and its successive defeats of many powerful states and tribes, Rome's expansion became unstoppable. Hundreds of years later, the current Ptolemaic dynasty is powerless to change the fate of being annexed in the face of a strong rise and a large number of famous generals.

At this time, the pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt was Cleopatra VII, the female pharaoh known as 'Cleopatra' in later generations, and the last monarch of Ptolemaic Egypt. Because of his affair with Caesar, Anthony was known as Cleopatra. This woman's life can only be described in eight words, she can't help it, and she has no power to return to heaven.

During her reign, Ptolemaic Egypt could not compete with the thriving Rome in terms of national power. In order to prevent the country from being annexed by Rome, this beautiful and scheming female pharaoh seduced Caesar and Antony to prevent the country from being annexed by Rome. In fact, she secured Egypt for a while, but with the death of Caesar, Octavian's succession to Caesar's place, coupled with the collapse of the Triumvirate, the death of Antony, the annexation of Egypt by Rome became a fact.

In particular, the children she had with Caesar and Antony, who were later killed by Octavian. The possible reliance has died before it grows up, and the only two major backers have also died. Cleopatra, who was unable to return to the sky, no matter how beautiful she was and how she used her tactics, under the panic and the strength of Rome, she inevitably became a province of Rome.

And her death is not only the end of her own life, but also announces the end of the nearly 300-year-old Ptolemaic Egyptian dynasty!

On the outskirts of the desert, a blinding white light descended on the vast expanse of the desert. The surrounding deserts are endless, and at a glance it seems to be endless. The desert of death, the forbidden area of life, since ancient times, the desert has swallowed countless lives. In this way, it established its own majesty, the majesty of life's instinctive fear and awe.

And now, the forbidden land of life, the great desert of death, in its central position, there is a person quietly descending. This figure, surrounded by a dazzling white light, is more than two meters tall, far surpassing everyone in this era, even in modern society, there are few people who surpass him in height.

When the white light converged, he revealed a long head of silver hair, a handsome appearance, pointed ears that were different from ordinary people, and a pair of strange golden eyes. All the characteristics and information indicate that the person who came was not human. However, this unusual appearance was changed in an instant. The silver hair turned black, the golden pupils turned dark brown, and the pointed ears returned to their normal appearance.

Inenville looked at the desert in front of him, staring in all directions, the powerful and keen elven eyes of the High Elves made his eyesight astonishing. The endless yellow sand flew quickly in his eyes, and then an oasis town in the desert appeared in his eyes. Then, one step out, leaving the vast desert, reappeared, and was already outside the small city of the oasis.

Immediately, walk into the town!

Observing this backward and primitive oasis town, the small town is not large, and there are many locals and white Westerners in and out of it, and everyone is amazed by his appearance and tall stature. Looking curiously at this unusual man, the guards guarding the gate, vigilant and panicked, looked at the tall figure in front of him.

The body of more than two meters gives ordinary people a great sense of oppression. After all, whether it is an animal or a human, when judging the weakness of the enemy, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the first impression is to distinguish the height difference between each other and the physique. Although, this is not an absolute fact. But at the end of the day, tall people have a great advantage over people who are far inferior to themselves.

This is the case with the soldiers in Roman uniforms in front of them. Although Inningville did not carry weapons, both his clothing and height made the Roman soldiers wary.

After the interrogation, Yiningville, who didn't know what to think in his heart, simply and easily walked into the oasis town through the interrogation. Then, seemingly consciously or unconsciously, he surveyed the city and tested the inhabitants of their local beliefs. Although Egypt was ruled by foreign peoples, Ptolemaic Egypt did not veto the original gods of Egypt in its entirety. Instead, they chose to respect the local traditions and beliefs, and combined the old gods (Egyptian gods) with the new gods (Greek gods) to take care of the locals while comforting the Greeks who entered Egypt in terms of spiritual sustenance.

However, in the small city of the oasis in front of him, there is no belief in the Nine Pillars God and the God of Death in Hades, but a believer in the crocodile god Sobek. It is a lake that originates from the water source on which the town depends. And in this lake, there are many crocodiles. Therefore, in order to please the crocodile god Sobek, most of the inhabitants of the town worship and believe in this god.

When Yiningville walked into Sobek's temple and quietly observed the crocodile god, the other party's divine power showed no trace of hiding from his perspective. His strength was clear in his eyes, and there was no concealment in the slightest. However, the impression that this minor god gave to Inenville was that he was sleeping, and at the same time, his divine power appeared in a different degree of confusion. Such a change made Inningville unable to think of the cause for a while, but after silently observing the crocodile god for a while, Inningville turned around and left here.

For the rest of his life, Inningville traveled through various cities in Egypt, from bustling cities to backward cities, villages and wilderness. In a short period of time, there are traces of Inningville left. Through the investigation of the beliefs in various places, Inningville has a comprehensive understanding of some of the lesser gods in the Egyptian god system. At the same time, he also secretly observed a lot of evil gods and various monsters, and at present, these evil gods and monsters are hiding in their own territory and falling asleep.

The unusual change was confusing to Inenville, but as he continued to observe the Egyptian gods, he became more and more confident in his plan.

On this day, Inningville rode on a camel, which was a very ordinary camel. Carrying Inningville deep into the desert, as it gradually went deeper into the desert, the camel began to be a little frightened and did not dare to continue walking. However, with the reassurance and encouragement of Yiningville, the camels plucked up the courage to continue deep into the desert.

The talent of the elves is unparalleled, which many races do not possess and cannot compare. Their gifts allow them to teach trees to speak, animals to speak, and even to communicate with nature. And as the strongest of the elven clan, Yininville's talent is obviously even stronger.

As he went deeper and deeper into the desert, Inningville's senses began to feel a hint of something unusual. And this breath was also sensed by the camel, so no matter how much the camel was appeased, it was unwilling to continue to move forward. In this regard, Yiningville chose to continue on foot alone, and after releasing the camel, Yiningville used his senses to walk towards the great desert.

In the depths, there was a black line, exuding an unusual, unsettling aura!
