Chapter 17: The Chief Samurai

The sky is getting dark, heralding the arrival of night.

Walking out of the main gate of the sacrificial courtyard and towering and awe-inspiring, a total of six majestic Egyptian soldiers, led by Nasser, stood proudly and waited in the square in front of the gate.

All six of them were dressed in short brass dresses in the shape of chain mail, and their upper bodies were replaced by wide black-brown belts that crossed over their shoulders, revealing large areas of bronzed skin, and all of them had bulging muscles, and their backs were armed with short spears or long swords.

Their dress was the standard style of Egypt's elite troops.

Most of the six of them returned to Thebes with Fang Di and knew each other, only two of them were invited by Nassai, who had never seen them before, and were also soldiers under the command of the Egyptian Holy City Guard.

They were of the same age, and they quickly became acquainted with each other after being introduced to each other.

The group left the sacrificial courtyard with a smile and walked towards the bustling city of Thebes.

Pedestrians on the road are not diminished by the fall of night.

Thebes, a prosperous city in the world, shows its beautiful side at night, and it is indeed full of weather.

Naser said to the other party as he walked: "I heard that as soon as you arrived at the sacrificial court, you were received by the high priest, I don't know if you have any benefits?"

Fang Di said with a smile: "How can it be so easy to get benefits, just have an independent residence, and have been allowed by the high priest to contemplate the Book of the Dead of the Dead, and obtain the identity of a true disciple priest, I heard that there are more than 100 true disciple priests in the sacrificial courtyard, and it is not a great identity." ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Nasse and several others screaming in unison, and one of them, a young man named Zoe, had a look of excitement on his face, and said in surprise: "As soon as you enter the sacrificial courtyard, you will become a real priest?

Judging from everyone's reactions, Fang Di didn't know that the identity of this true disciple was probably not simple, so he looked at a few people with an inquiring look on his face.

Nasser, the leader of these men and a sergeant major of the Acropolis, took the lead in responding:

"So you don't know what the identity of a true priest means, hey, let's put it this way, the sacrificial courtyard has disciples in all the major cities of Egypt, and there are more than 10,000 of them together, and all of them have cultivated in their bodies, and the power is huge, you can imagine. And only in the Holy City, those who have been hand-picked by the high priest to have the potential to channel the gods are called true disciples, which means disciples of the true God.

Fang Di sighed and said, "It turns out that it was just a fictitious title that represented the cultivation potential. ”

Nasai and the others screamed again, the atmosphere was warm, and they said in a gossipy voice: "Don't be content, you kid, you need to know that the people in the sacrificial courtyard are originally transcendent, and everyone is in awe." If you are a true disciple, if you go outside to walk, you will not dare to slack off even if you are the head of a city. ”

Fang Di turned to ask, "Do you know what famous people are in our sacrificial courtyard?"

Zoe hurriedly said: "The most famous of your sacrificial courtyard is, of course, the great high priest like gods and demons, and then there are four main priests, gods, saints, upper and lower, each with a strong side, and there are many disciples, I heard that in order to compete for the position of the next high priest, they are also divided into several camps with each other, and the relationship is complicated. ”

Naser snorted lightly and said, "Zoe, be careful when you speak, if this word reaches the ears of the four chief priests, it may be killed." ”

Zoe muttered: "Fang Di doesn't look like a villain who is telling right and wrong, the rest are his own brothers, how can they be known by others." ”

Seeing that several people's eyes turned together, Fang Di said knowingly: "Don't worry, my little brother has a very poor memory, and I forget it after hearing it, what Zoe said before, I forgot it at this time, and I will never say it." Let's continue to talk about the important people in the sacrificial temple. ”

Listening to what Fang Di said was interesting, several people laughed at the same time, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

This time, it was Nasai Dao: "Under the four main priests, there are a total of thirty-seven oracles, which directly belong to the high priest transfer. These thirty-seven divine envoys are all mysterious, rarely appear in front of people, and it is said that they are extremely powerful and terrifying. ”

Naser paused for some hesitation before lowering his voice and saying, "Some people also say that among the thirty-seven divine envoys, some of them are demons summoned from the underworld, not human, extremely ferocious, inhumane, and take pleasure in killing. ”

Fang Di's mind flashed Sanin's unfathomable face, and he was almost certain that Sanin, who was gentle and handsome on the outside, must be one of the thirty-seven mysterious oracles.

Then several people turned the topic away, talking about some topics of wind and snow, and met a beautiful woman passing by on the way, and several people looked at each other together, full of laughter.

Zoe glanced at Fang Di, who was watching along the way, looking at everything with relish, and said, "You look like an indigenous person from a remote place, and you haven't seen any scenes." ”

Fang Di smiled bitterly and was speechless, Zoe was full of interest, and continued with eyebrows: "A few of us are discussing, we will open your eyes tonight and keep you lingering!"

After laughing, he said, "Look, the brightly lit mansion in front of us is where we are going tonight." ”

Fang Di raised his eyes to see that on the opposite side of the stone street with people coming and going, backed by the bank of the Nile River, there was indeed a mansion with swaying lights, covering a wide area, endless at a glance, like a princely mansion.

In front of the main gate, the carriages and horses were bustling, and all the Egyptian nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes came and went in it. Qi Dao: "What kind of place is that?"

Nase and the others laughed together: "That's where every man in the Holy City wants to go, do you understand?"

Fang Di was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was a brothel that existed in zΓ i no matter what era or place it was.

As if knowing what Fang Di was thinking, Nasai pouted:

"Don't think that it's a place where you can sleep with money, and the cost of spending the night in it is expensive and I can't afford it, a city guard sergeant with a high salary. And it's not that you can spend money to spend the night in it, you also need the girl in it to look at you, and you can only do it if you are willing to do so, and the threshold for entering is also very high, and you can't go in if you have money. ”

After hearing this, Fang Di secretly praised that this ancient Egyptian brothel knew how to operate and accurately captured the man's heart.

It is that the more difficult it is to get, the more precious it is, and if you want to catch it, it will arouse people's tireless interest, no wonder there are many customers.

It's funny to think about it, the first place I went to when I visited Thebes was a high-end brothel.

Fang Di pursed his lips and followed behind the few people who were whistling past and walking through the street like wolves and tigers, and came to the gate of the brothel with a calm expression.

This brothel has an easy-to-remember name, it is called the Holy City Maihime Building, which is simple and straightforward and evokes reverie.

In front of the double-pillar main gate on the left and right of the Maihime Building, there are more than ten big men standing in a line, each with a face full of meat, which is enough to discourage anyone who wants to fight bad ideas.

Stepping through the grand main gate of the dancing girl building, Fang Di's eyes were slightly bright.

The interior layout of the Maihime Building is fresh and elegant, and the courtyard is deep, and there is no clichΓ© of ordinary smoke and powder places.

In the vast desert environment of Egypt, the rare variety of verdant vegetation spreads throughout the courtyard, making people feel refreshed and cool.

Fang Di and Na Sai side by side, followed by the other people who couldn't wait to walk in front, and then passed through a small square, before they were able to officially enter the lobby of the main building of the Maihime Building, which was brightly lit and full of people.

Fang Di and Nasai stopped by the door and looked inside.

Facing the direction of the courtyard, there is a wooden platform with carved pillars and paintings, and the water of the Nile River is introduced from under the stage, forming a pattern of trickling water, full of fresh and moist atmosphere.

On the stage, a group of Egyptian girls stood singing, dancing, dancing melodiously, singing gracefully. The most tempting thing is that every woman is covered with a light veil, and her charming face is looming, which makes people's hearts flutter.

The hall was filled with wonderful music that Fang Di had never heard of, and it was full of Egyptian men who were intoxicated and lingering.

Nasai on the side said with pride on his face: "How do you feel?"

Fang Di was about to praise two words, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him, full of arrogance: "Where is the stupid, stand in front of the door and block the way, get out!"

Naser was furious when he heard this, knowing that he was the Holy City Guard, second only to Pharaoh's Inner Court Guard, who had always been rampant in Egypt, and he was generally a minister of much higher rank than them, and he did not want to provoke a Holy City Guard like them, so as not to cause endless trouble.

At this time, being directly insulted by others, and it was in front of Fang Di's newly made friend, which made Nase feel disgraced, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.

Nasai turned his head with a gloomy face, and a scolding had rushed to his mouth, but after seeing the person standing behind him, he swallowed it back alive, the anger on his face was not gone, but he forcibly restrained himself, did not dare to attack, and pulled Fang Di to the side.

Fang Di didn't know that the person who spoke up to insult him in the back was not trivial, and he was a figure that the little leader of the city guards in Nasai couldn't afford to provoke.

Naser said in a low voice: "The leader of these people is Panlos, the son of Lord Munasa, who has always been arrogant, let's not mess with him." The heroic swordsman next to him, who was originally a well-known and powerful figure in the north of our country, was recruited by Lord Munasa a few months ago and became the chief samurai under his command, and became famous in the holy city, called Shuke, with excellent combat power, few people can make three or five moves in his hands, I heard that he is actively pursuing Miss Candace, and once he succeeds, his value will be a hundred times different. ”

While Nasai whispered in his ear, Fang Di was also looking at the other party and the others, and when he saw the superb swordsman cultivation that Nasai said, a thought flashed in his heart, it turned out to be him!

Approaching from the rear, scolding Fang and the two to make way, it was a small team of more than ten people.

The young man at the head, that is, the son of Munasa, Panros, was born handsome, dressed in a rich white robe, but unfortunately his eyes were blank, and he looked like he was overly drunk, and his face was full of arrogance, and he looked unpleasant.

Beside Penros, stood a young swordsman.

His figure is straight, his face is cold, his eyes are shining like bright stars, his bearing is flying, and he is wearing a tight-fitting white shirt, which appropriately shows the physique of construction, which is not only full of strength, but also shows his extraordinary manly charm.

He held a sheathed broadsword in one hand, his body was as calm as a mountain, and he had the bearing of a master with combat power.

This young swordsman was the same person who had almost no opponent in the Holy City, and he was also the one who stood with Candace in the crowd that had gone out of the city to greet Munasa when Fang Di entered Thebes a few days ago, and had cast an unfriendly look at Fang Di from the air.

Fang Di was a little puzzled in his heart, secretly thinking that I had no grievances with this Xiuke, and he showed hostility towards me plainly, but after meeting Candace, he heard that Candace was a little curious about me as an outsider, so it aroused his vigilance and regarded me as a potential rival.

It is really surprising that there are such jealous people in the world, just because Candace is slightly interested in other members of the opposite sex, so the other party is hostile, in this case, it is either that the cultivation psychology is abnormal or he has another purpose.

When Fang Di was thinking in his heart, the young man named Xiu Ke turned his head sharply, and when he saw Fang Di standing aside, his eyes immediately lit up, flashing a trace of undisguised chill and sneer.

Fang Di sighed secretly, it seems that today is destined to go against Nasai's forbearance, there is some trouble, and he can't hide if he really wants to.
