"What? Eve was captured by the High Priest?! The adventurer was taken aback, and the excitement of having just killed the Pharaoh and escaped from the city of Cairo, which had become a living hell, vanished.

"Well, it wasn't that long ago." O'Connor, the man, obviously took a fancy to Eve, and the anxious look on his face was overflowing, and he hurriedly said: "That monster of Immorton has launched ten plagues and turned Cairo City into a hell on earth. We found out early, grabbed a wealthy businessman's car on the side of the road, and ran away. Just as he was rushing out of Cairo City, Immorton suddenly appeared and swept Eve away in the wind! ”

Jonathan also pleaded beside him: "Mysterious Oriental, now you are the only one who has the strength to fight that monster, no matter what, please be sure to save Eve, my aunt is such a daughter as Eve, if Eve is gone, I can't imagine what she will do!" ”

Bai Yu patted O'Connor on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, Eve is my friend, no matter what, as long as there is a glimmer of hope left, I will also save her." ”

The others were stunned for a moment, and then they also went around to comfort them, and brushed their favorability by the way. But everyone's face is bad, and the news that Eve has been captured by Immorton is too bad.

During the pursuit from the Hamna Tower, Immorton discovered Eve, a librarian who looked exactly like the princess of a thousand years ago, and then he didn't know what kind of mentality was causing trouble, and immediately identified Eve as a sacrifice for Ansuna's resurrection. It's just that in the pursuit and escape battle, his strength has not yet recovered, and he was sniped by adventurers, so he didn't succeed.

And this time, with the help of a certain "mysterious person", Immorton who saw the joy of hunting naturally would not let go of such a virgin with noble blood flowing in her body and plundered her.

After a reassuring pass, the adventurer quickly looked at Lin Xiao and asked with his eyes, "What should we do next?" ”

Lin Xiao always silently makes amazing moves, acting seemingly bold and wanton, but he can play a role in surprise. Unconsciously, the big guy had already acquiesced to Lin Xiao's leadership position.

Lin Xiao said very directly: "Eve is our friend, if a friend is in trouble, how can he not save him when he dies?" As for how we chase Immorton."

As he spoke, he glanced at the two slimy and disgusting cars not far away, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said, "Cars don't work much in the desert, and the speed of walking on two legs is too slow, so come with me." ”

The adventurers looked at each other, glanced at each other, and then followed behind Lin Xiao very neatly.

After walking for more than ten minutes, a hovering airship appeared in front of everyone, and the black uncle on the airship saw Lin Xiao and a group of people from a distance, and immediately waved at Lin Xiao with a smile: "Hey, dear Lin, you are here!" ”

"Damn! What's going on with this gothic airship? ”

"Sister Ni, you don't have to be so fierce, just send a pillow if you fall asleep!"

"Is this an airplane, an airplane?"

Lin Xiao didn't pay attention to the complaints of this group of boring people, and directly took out a gold brick and smashed it into the black pilot's face, saying, "Start the airship, and pay three more yuan when you get to the destination." ”

The black uncle got up from the ground with a smile, opened his big mouth with a missing front tooth and bit the gold, and with a "rattle", another big tooth was shattered.

The crowd was speechless.

This world is in the period of the second industrial revolution, the era of great leaps in productivity. In Cairo at night, some wealthy families even use electric lights and telephones. But other aspects are still lackluster, such as the humble punk airship in front of me.

At the time of World War I, there were already people in Europe who had created a small fighter plane piloted by one person, and now that World War II has passed, American airlines have even established flight lanes in major countries in the world, but in Cairo, Egypt, you can still see such a "punk" steam airship.

(Steampunk, of course, represents a large machine powered by steam.) Punk, on the other hand, is a non-mainstream fringe culture, a genre written in street dialect dialogue, and its significance lies in the stylistic independence of the subject matter, rather than anti-sociality. Steampunk works often rely on new hypothetical techniques, such as new energy, new machinery, new materials, new means of transportation, etc., to show an alternate world view parallel to the Western world in the 19th century, and strive to create its fictional and nostalgic characteristics. ）

The airship is not big, and with so many people coming up at once, it suddenly seems a little crowded, but now is obviously not the time to care about this. Everyone sat silently and let the black pilot shout and control, and soon after, the airship successfully broke off the ground, adjusted its direction, and galloped towards the capital of the dead.

Considering the load, fuel, wind and other problems, the steam airship actually does not fly very high, but only about 20 meters above the ground. In the roar of "clang", the old airship spewed white steam, its wings spread, flying into the distance, the sun warmly shone all over the body, and the gentle wind roared in the ears, if it was not for the worry in the heart, it was really a good journey to enjoy relaxation.

On the way, Lin Xiao simply took out the golden treasure chest dropped by the Pharaoh and opened it gently in front of everyone.

"Ding: You've got a golden shield. The Golden Shield, made of gold, contains a magical power and a shield that is cast by the ten top masters of Egypt during the Pharaoh's lifetime, and you deserve it. The shield is worth 500 points and can block any form of attack before shattering. If broken, it will take 12 hours to recharge itself. Sell it to Juggernaut Space in exchange for 2,000 points. ”

"Juggernaut's evaluation: Well, one day, Pharaoh Ramses II was about to go to the harem to 'hey', but he happened not to bring the golden shield with him, so he staged a good show of two men and women joining forces to assassinate the king of Qin"

Looking at this shield, the big guy's heart was on fire. As for the complaining evaluation of the later master, everyone directly chose to ignore it.

"Ding: You got the Pharaoh Bandage. This bandage is of good quality, increasing defense by 20 and health by 100 when equipped, but reducing action speed by 30%. Sell to Juggernaut Space in exchange for 800 points. ”

"Juggernaut's Comment: I'll tell you, is this actually what I took from the Pharaoh?"

"Ding: You have obtained the Pharaoh's jerky. How to use, swallow directly, effect: permanently increase the amount of strength by 5 points, and the physical strength by 5 points. Sell to Juggernaut Space in exchange for 400 points. ”

"Juggernaut Evaluation: Chicken, crunchy."

The big guys looked at each other, and everyone spoke rashly.

Although there are only three pieces of the Pharaoh's treasure chest, all three of them are superb, a golden shield that can block damage, can absorb a full 500 points of damage, a mummy shroud, super defense and physical strength increase, and jerky that can permanently increase strength and physical strength, although the thing is indeed a little disgusting, but the effect is there, even if it is a pile of shit, I'm afraid everyone will rush to fight for it.

"How are these things distributed?" Finally someone spoke.

Lin Xiao shrugged: "Naturally, it is distributed according to the previous rules and according to the combat contribution." The recipient pays points to others, and so on. ”

This is also a customary distribution rule among adventurers, so naturally there is no objection. After some bargaining, vain and wrongdoing, Bai Yu paid 5,000 points and got the golden shield, Lao Huang got the jerky, and as for the pharaoh's bandage, it was won by another adventurer. Although the others were a little unwilling, they also gained a lot of points. And they all rejoiced

One day and one night, the people who were riding the airship finally stepped on the ground again.

"Hamnata, I didn't think I would ever set foot in this hellish place again in my life," O'Connor put two pistols into his pocket, let out a long breath, and said, "I didn't expect to turn around and finally come back here." ”

This gallop without regard to fuel, hurried and hurried, and finally caught up with Immorton's footsteps.

After the bald man destroyed Cairo, he picked up Eve and ran to the capital of the dead, apparently eager to resurrect his former lover

For Eve, this period of time is like a nightmare in a horror movie, painful and desperate.

I'm just an ordinary librarian, although I think of some mess in my head from time to time, but, but! Eve insists that this is nothing more than a girl's nostalgia. Because of the influence of his grandfather and work, he was fascinated by ancient culture. The greatest wish is also to unravel the splendor of history buried under the dust.

With such beliefs and inexplicable thoughts in his mind, he set out on the path of an explorer, and his goal was the legendary resting place of the dead, the Tower of Hamna.

The legendary Hamna Tower really exists, and the black ancient books, the silent statue of Hanubis, the ancient frescoes and prophecies, all of which made Eve so drunk that one day, she accidentally recited that damn spell.

So, the thousand-year-old monster was resurrected.

He was the first person in history to suffer the torture of "worm devouring", and a monster in the language that could destroy Egypt - the high priest, Immorton.

Regret, despair, anger, unwillingness to face such a monster, what can I do as an ordinary woman?

Witnessing the ten plagues that could destroy Egypt, the ancient city that had stood for thousands of years in the wind and sand was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the self-blame in my heart was like an ant devouring and painful.

Having escaped from Cairo with her cousin and a man with a big grin, and before she could share the joy of escaping death, she felt a lightness under her feet, and looked down suspiciously, but the world was already spinning.

"Huh? Yes......! ”

- The big and over-the-top wind and sand actually swept her straight into the sky!

She was frightened instantly, but she didn't even have time to scream, and an unusual feeling of tiredness made her voice hoarse in her throat, and then her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she no longer had the strength to open them when she closed them...... And before her consciousness was completely darkened, she faintly heard a man's voice, one that sounded full of evil.
