Anubis was the patron deity of the soul in the ancient Egyptian theological system, appearing in the frescoes of the Pharaoh's tomb in the form of a jackal's head and a human body. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
For the ancient Egyptians, the afterlife was extremely important, so the god Anubis as a guardian of the dead was worshipped long ago. Anubis, the god of the underworld and the dead, has the head of a jackal, a wild dog that is commonly found in graveyards in search of carrion. People prayed to him for the protection of the dead, and he also helped Isis mummify Osiris......
In the Valley of the Kings, Matt, who was the mausoleum keeper, was tightly guarding Batra, holding two spears in his hands, and his eyes fiercely scanned the five people around him, the same eagle-headed mask - Sphinx!
The tattoo-like pattern on their bodies is the eye of Horus, which symbolizes the guardian of the mausoleum. Among them were a very strong, Schwarzenegger macho man, a lanky hunched man, a sorcerer with an ebony scepter, a sturdy woman, and a black panther who followed her...... As for the last man, he stood calmly at the back, and from under the mask, it was faintly visible that his eyes were blood-red! It is a reaction to stay away from natural light for a long time. The pattern on his mask has almost been worn away, what a long time, his life will end here, the mausoleum of the emperor......
β&β¦β¦ οΌβ¦β¦ οΌβ
The four mausoleum guards gradually converged their attack, and the four hunting lions instantly reached a safe distance of five meters away from Maite, and the blood-eyed man did not even hold any weapons in his hands, but was approaching Maite step by step!
Matt confronted the four people in front of him alone, and held on to them until now, but when he faced the blood-eyed man alone, Matt's forehead broke out with sweat for the first time!
β&β¦β¦ (Matt!) οΌβ
Matt stared at those eyes, his lips turned a little purple, his hands trembled a little from the exertion, and sweat dripped to the ground.
β*&β¦β¦ (The Tomb Keeper is God's chosen messenger to be loyal to the king forever and never betrayal!) οΌβ
β%β¦β¦ (This is the oath that the ancestors of the tomb keepers made with the king!) "The blood-eyed man's majestic voice is like the lion of the king of the forest, the king of lions!
Matt faltered, and immediately gave in, but the Blood-Eyed Man immediately bullied him!
By the time Matt retreated in front of Bartra, Bartra was behind Matt. Not far away, Sun himself stood up, and he knew the danger of the current situation, so he took it out of his arms......
Between the lightning and flint, the blood-eyed man has shot!
"Matt......" Sun flicked the grenade firing pin in his hand and prepared to throw it!
Unbelievable, Matt had no power to resist under his hands, and the blood-eyed man formed a fist with one hand, and slammed Matt's head with his backhand, and immediately ......
βbang~β
This, the battle has just begun!
The battle is over!
&......*" Maite opened his eyes for longer than he had ever experienced in his life~
"Marien ......"
Batra desperately remembered in her mind that there was such a legendary general when her father, King Ptolemy XII, was alive, no, when her grandfather, Ptolemy XI, was still alive!
Sun exhaled lightly, feeling like he had come back to life from hell in an instant. The Blood-Eyed Man, Marian, was a brave and warlike general of Ptolemy XI, who successfully resisted and repelled the Hittite invasions several times! At the same time, he is also Mait's father, the commander of Egypt's most sacred royal tomb guard!
&......* (O heir of King Ptolemy, the supreme king of Egypt, why did you trespass into the tombs of your ancestors and disturb the sleep of the deceased!) Marien's subdued voice was like singing the Lamentations of Reilenzel, the ancient war songs......
It turned out that Marian had known Batra's true identity for a long time! At the same time, the other four guards joined Marian in saluting and swearing allegiance to their revered king!
"......% (General Marian!) οΌβ
Batra recounted the reason for it all with grief and indignation:
β%β¦β¦&β¦β¦%#οΏ₯β¦β¦β
This is destined to be a story with many twists and turns......
"My brother, King of Ptolemy XIII (the Piper), should share with me the throne of heaven, the testament of the previous king! The first king arranged for me to marry him and rule over Egypt! β
"However, power is a poison that is addictive and difficult to extricate oneself from! My younger brother Theos Philopator, together with two powerful ministers, Bosinus and Occivian, excluded and persecuted me in every possible way, and finally assassinated the priest by insidious means and destroyed the edict of the previous king! All this ...... "Batra was speechless, and couldn't help but feel sad......
"They imprisoned me in the temple of the god Amun, and for three whole months, I ate all the snakes, insects, rats, and ants on the ground and in the sand, and my fingers were full of scars, and I threw aside all my dignity and desperately sucked the water from the base of the bronze statue, which was overgrown with maggots and rust, and I, I ......"
"I want to live!" Sun tried to comfort her, but he looked at Batra silently, and when she was sad, not a single tear came out. At the same time, she revealed an aura that made him scared and frightened, subordinate to the king and the overlord!
"I will take back the crown I lost!"
β¦β¦
Sun still vividly remembers that when he returned to his hometown a few years later, looking at the man with gentle eyes in the mausoleum, it was these words engraved on the coffin......
For a long time, Marian, an iron-blooded warrior who had experienced a hundred battles, couldn't help but be moved by what happened to Batra......
"I will go to the tomb of the former king, retrieve the king's edict, and prove to the world that my brother is a sinister, cunning, and deranged mediocre king, and I will take back the rights that the god Amun has bestowed upon the Egyptian oracle!" Batra's tone became colder and colder.
"O King of Ptolemy XIII, why is he so cruel that he sends one sin after another, the sinless to death, to the labyrinth of hell, and we ......"
"Also...... Aiding and abetting! Marian said in grief, and took from his waist the sword of defeat that he had received from King Ptolemy XI!
οΌ&**β¦β¦*&β¦β¦ οΌ
Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering sound, and the stone door of the mausoleum was opened, and a dazzling light came directly from a distance, which surprised all eight people present.
βοΏ₯%β¦β¦ (By the command of King Ptolemy, purge away the traitors who blasphemed the god Amun, rush!) οΌβ
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Marian's grief and anger became more and more irrepressible, and he could not control anything in this battle for royal power......
If he gets involved, the position of the mausoleum keeper inherited from the Marian era is also very likely to be lost in his hands!
It's too late!
"Matt, protect the king of Cleopatra VII with your life!" Without hesitation, Marian drew his sword of defeat and headed for the last battle of his life!
"Baya, Raphael, Montu, Timaria!"
They all did their best, and they looked at death as if they were home!
"Father!" Matt could not hesitate any longer, he swore an oath to defend Batra with his life, and let the blood spill on the mausoleum, and he took Batra and Sun and rushed into the labyrinth of hell - the royal tomb without looking back......
What kind of hardships and dangers will await them......
At the moment when Batra rushed into the entrance of the labyrinth, she looked back into the distance, the blood-stained, broken soldiers, the fallen Egyptian soldiers, the dying panthers, the sword of defeat stuck deep in the stone, the man who wantonly humiliated the bodies of the dead, Theos Philopator, also known as Ptolemy XIII......
Batra's eyes, staring at the man with hatred, shot out two rays of death, like an incomparably sharp cone, to pierce him, tear him, and destroy his soul!
