Chapter 66: Reunion after a long absence
"How much do you know about our final plan?"
"You never mentioned it to me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"I'm sorry. ”
The camel knew that the Count had prepared this plan for a long time, but the latter had never mentioned it to him until now.
"I've been preparing for a long time since we decided to sacrifice Magellan, and it's been a long time since we decided to sacrifice Magellan, which should have had nothing to do with what we're doing now, except that science has kept everything in this world in constant flux. ”
"What do you want to do?"
"Keep doing what we're doing. ”
"What does that have to do with your final plan?"
The Count did not answer this question.
"Why?"
The camel could not think of a reason for the count to hide anything from him.
"You and I are not the only ones watching Magellan, some ancient supernatural powers are still not gone, and their actions are unpredictable, so I can only be as cautious as possible. ”
The Count's gaze contained something that made the camel shudder, the lawlessness of the explorers, the king of the sand thieves who was proud of his freedom in Emunquet, and being stared at by ghosts was the last thing he could bear.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"To complete the sacrifice. ”
In the end, the camel did not say anything more, believing the Count, and although the great man of the Holy See always looked like a god, at least he never lied.
"It's time to sleep. The camel stepped into the fire-shrouded land, "if you still want to come out tomorrow." ”
......
Three days later at midnight.
Once again, the Count stood on top of the temple, and this time, the spear of light in his hand stabbed at the last obelisk.
The moment that the camel had been waiting for had arrived, and the thing he had been waiting for was happening.
There was a tremor from the depths of the earth, and an extremely heavy object was moving slowly.
The camel looked down at the ground, as if his gaze could cut through the mud of the river and see the boulder slowly retreat under the force of terror, revealing the treasures that belonged to Horus, the god of radiance.
It should be a collection of untold gold, powerful divine powers, miracles, brilliant and, finally, Magellan's doom.
"Let's go. ”
The camel showed his impatience that should not have belonged to him.
The Count nodded quietly, followed the camel around to the entrance of the temple, and into the dark corridor.
It was still silent, as if nothing had changed since the last time they left, and the camels even had the illusion of traveling through time.
The darkness has finally come to an end.
There was a golden light.
It is as if it were the royal treasury of the ancient pharaohs, with countless golden artifacts placed in stone buildings, and brilliant golden light circulating in them, as if in another world.
The camel's heart is peaceful.
He saw all this, and he saw the left leg of the god who had spent a long time searching, but at this moment, there was only peace in the camel's heart.
"Let's go. ”
"Wait. ”
The Count suddenly stopped the camel.
Just as the latter turned to ask why, the tremor of the earth interrupted his question.
"What...... What?"
The camel had a very bad feeling for a moment, and very few things could produce such a grand and violent shock, and the very few that could do it were natural disasters.
Then the camel heard the sound of running water.
"Let's go!"
Almost instantly, the two of them rushed towards the path they had left, feeling the slippery underfoot in the darkness as they were halfway through the run.
Flowing water is pouring down the corridor into the treasure house below.
The camel's heart was filled with the joy of surviving, and then it began to sink.
The Flood of the Nile is one of the greatest forces that have existed in Emangelke since time immemorial, but the time of its annual arrival has never changed, and there is no doubt that it is not now.
"It's time. ”
The Count stepped out of the road in front of the camel, and he climbed the slippery mud up a ramp outside the exit, and then stood still.
The camel climbed the ramp with great difficulty, and he stood beside the Count, looking at the frighteningly close surface of the river in the darkness of the night.
Almost nothing could be seen on the surface of the Nile under the night sky, but the sound of the water just below gave the camels a clear idea of what was going on, and it was creepy.
"The Flood...... Here it ......."
"Let's go!"
The Count walked towards the city, the delta of the estuary, and the flood that could spread to the construction site would not be spared, and countless people would be wiped out in their sleep.
The camel followed the Count, and in the midst of such a calamity, only the ships of the harbor in Alexandria could escape his ascension, and whether he stayed here or went to the other shore, he was only dying.
The two soon came to the city.
The city was sleeping, and although countless people were enjoying the endless night, they were just outliers, and even the patrolmen with torches on the walls did not notice the coming disaster.
A vigilant patrol team put the two men into the city, the camouflage was still effective, and maybe the next morning there would be a patrol officer with a portrait looking for them, but at least until sunrise, they were safe.
The two ran wildly down the wide street, the sound of the water seemed to be in their ears, and around them, the sleeping people were oblivious to what was happening.
"This way!"
At a fork in the road, the camel was surprised to see the Count running in the exact opposite direction to him.
"Where are you going? This is the way to the docks!"
"Remind the Governor. ”
Almost for a moment the camel lost the ability to think, and he almost roared and uttered a phrase from his mouth: "They're just going to catch you!"
"Floods can flood entire cities, and no one is immune. ”
The calmness in the count's tone made the camel almost go berserk, and he opened his mouth to say something, but could not find a word.
"Please don't be in a hurry. ”
The night wind took away all sounds, and the whole world fell silent for a moment.
The person who spoke was the countess.
"Don't worry, I've informed the Governor that the people of the city are already on the move. ”
The camel looked at the figure emerging from the night, and tried to say something, but could not open its mouth.
"The civilians on the periphery are still asleep," the count's weakness was revealed, which made the camel despair, "Is your so-called salvation to let the nobles of the Doge's palace flee here first?"
"If it is widely advertised, it will only cause riots, and in such a disaster, order is the most important thing. ”
The Count took a step forward, and the camel felt that step on his heart, and made his heart sink into the abyss: "The sea is the only safe place, and here the sea ships are not enough to evacuate all the inhabitants. ”
