Chapter 21: The Leader of the Necromancy
The sand and dust engulfed the sand pirates, refraining from reaching the water in the middle of the oasis. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"As recorded in all the authoritative magic books of ancient Emenchet, the essence of magic in this land is the dispersion of divine power, the gift of the gods. ”
The countess slowly lowered her hand, and at that moment, she was like the lord of the desert, a true god.
"The gods are dead. ”
"Tyrant of the Desert, Seth, when he had just died, I was lucky enough to collect some divine power that had not yet dissipated. ”
"This seems ......"
"Ancient civilizations had their own unique magic, and Emanchet was able to do what you see because it was good at it. ”
Magellan nodded, not continuing the subject, and headed towards the pool of water in the center surrounded by the newly uplifted dunes, hoping to find something useful.
The dunes were still slowly descending, and the sand was like a noose, tightly binding the sand thieves' necks, persistently dragging them to death.
Behind this half-moon-shaped death zone, the low houses were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, and the clearing was violently swept clean, with some goods still on the bloodstains.
Magellan found the camels behind a house, and the water was clean, so they didn't have to worry about the shortage of supplies for the time being.
"Welcome, guests returning from the depths of the desert. ”
The presence of a man made Magellan, who was about to pull the camel away, laugh, knowing that the owner of this oasis was a caravan, and the most lawless kind. The Sand Pirates clearly had their support, and according to the rules of many cruel places, Magellan the victor was entitled to the same warm welcome as the Sand Pirates.
"Prepare a place for two people, fresh water, and food, and an obedient camel. ”
The man bent down deeply, his tone full of flattery and hidden joy.
"As you wish, honored guest. ”
......
In the evening, Magellan and the Countess sat down on the roof for dinner, the cool desert air where the sun had just set, and the hospitality of the oasis inhabitants was pleasant.
"The camels moved faster than I thought. ”
"We avoided the bustling places, but we couldn't avoid the oasis in the desert, which, as you can see, is where the most sand thieves are located. ”
Miss Betty let out a "meow", as if confused, for it was Magellan, the man who knew the most about camels, who showed surprise.
"No...... The sand pirates did not have a well-organized and fast channel of information, and they did not obey the camels, they were business partners. ”
Then there is only one explanation. ”
The countess smiled and put a sweet date in her mouth, the most common food in the desert.
"The Holy See gave a lot of money to the camels. ”
"Brilliant business approach. ”
"The camel wants to kill me, and so does the Holy See, but ......"
"Are you hoping that the murder plan against you will be a little more sophisticated?"
"Meow. ”
......
"Take stock of your belongings, mortal. ”
The voice of the god seemed to come from the underworld, echoing in the tomb.
This is the most famous line of Anubis, the leader of the necromancy, the guardian of the underworld, and basically the only sentence he will say to a living person. In this case, just take out the gold artifact and give it to him. ”
A man turned his head to look at the person next to him who had just whispered, and then pulled out a handful of gold coins from his bag.
The jackal's face showed a look of human pity, but the god with this face did not speak, only nodded, "Follow me." ”
"We don't want to embark on an eternal journey. ”
The god turned, its massive body pressing down in the darkness.
"We want to serve you, a mighty god, the underworld is the great power of eternity, half of the universe. ”
"You need to learn a lot," the god said as if he was a teacher who happened to be about to lose his patience, "and go down here." ”
"Thank you very much. ”
The two men walked down the dark corridor until the god was gone.
"I know it's Anubis, but the problem is, you should have told me that as one of Pharaoh's most important allies, the god was dead long ago. ”
"Yes. The man let out a low chuckle under the black burqa, "You're not angry about this. I thought that those sand thieves who foolishly ran to their own deaths were your enemies......"
"Yes. Okay, what's next?"
"As the god told us, go all the way down here, and at the end there will be his temple, and there will be no tricks or traps, and Thoth's right hand will be on the shelf. ”
"What a god you can't hate. ”
"The leader of the soul is the most alienated of the gods, and he firmly believes that eternal journey is the true destination of the universe, so he is indifferent to everything in the small world. ”
"Then it's time......"
The man said this, and his mind flashed through what he had gained so far.
A group of sand thieves who won't disobey his orders, a god head that does his hands and feet, to ensure that Magellan can't succeed, and a god's right leg, which is used to accomplish some troublesome but effective magic.
"I said that in order to get your real support, I am willing to support your plan. ”
"That's not necessary. ”
"No, we're collaborating. ”
"I want to see a plan that is foolproof and turns into reality. ”
"Then, a sacrifice, executed by the cold and infallible underworld. ”
"This magic that does exist is only the final link in your plan. ”
"I am a camel, the old camel of Emunchet. ”
......
Magellan's journey back to the Nile was pleasant, partly because he left the desert and partly because he recalled a lot of things.
In any case, the scholars waiting in the town warmly welcomed the left hand of the gods, then the countess, then Miss Betty, who couldn't help but laugh, and finally Professor Magellan, a professor of history in charge of fights and expeditions.
"Thoth, the god of secretaries, ahh......hhh
Professor Alexander made no secret of his desire for the golden carving knife in the god's hand, and he couldn't wait to pounce on the large piece of gold almost as soon as he saw it.
Like other things used by the gods on a daily basis, it is a solid gold cast artifact with a tip suitable for writing on clay tablets, embossed with the image of the god himself, and cuneiform characters also inscribed.
"As we have seen, Thoth, the god of the scribes, very different from the goddess Isis, insisted that the most widely used writing was the most valuable, and therefore on his favorite carving knife was written cuneiform script used daily by the ancient Emanchet. ”
"Meow ......"
