"More than that, I want to know how you're going to open the Anubis Collection. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Your old friends, you, have opened the room sealed by the gods. ”

"No, they don't. ”

Even though the fish was already steaming, Magellan was still busy around the fire, and he looked a little stupid as he adjusted the heat almost all the time.

"You're not going to let them open that room, are you? The Countess always nips all danger in the bud. ”

"I had high hopes for that trap," the countess smelled in the air, and it was very unusual and seductive, "and it turned out to be excessive conceit. Still, I found a chance to checkmate that amazing opponent, without you. ”

"I'm sorry," Magellan looked up quietly, "I'll make amends." ”

"What?"

"Rest assured, I'll get the ancient truth you want, no matter what happens, whether the gods haven't been resurrected or whatever. ”

The countess smiled, and it was the smile that bloomed when a true lady was sure that a gentleman had fallen into her grasp.

That promise sounds perfunctory. ”

Magellan nodded: "That's true." ”

"Let's eat fish. ”

......

The Governor received the Countess in the newly renovated Doge's Palace.

She was glad that time had come, and if Helen had arrived a little earlier, she might have seen a scene of unbearable chaos and filth.

That was something the Governor absolutely did not want to see.

King of the world willing, at least today, the days are not bad.

In the garden, under a giant plane tree, two ladies elegantly savor a dessert from Francie on the other side of the ocean.

"It's like...... Put a blooming flower in your mouth. ”

The Doge did not hide the fact that she was ingratiating herself with the countess, for she knew that Helen would not be disgusted by it, and it was just as she expected.

Especially when the Governor naturally brings up "business" at the right time.

"There is no doubt that something has happened in the buried temple of Horus......," the Doge was an elegant noblewoman, her complexion bearing a healthy glow of the sun in the desert of Emangelquet, and a soft glow of maturity on her face, "The flood washed away most of the sedimented river mud, and at the same time ...... One indigenous worker insisted that the whole temple had risen some distance upwards, and that it was always so bizarre, wasn't it?"

The Governor's smile made one want to laugh along, and there was a charm in it that was a rare mixture of gentleness and warmth.

"I think the temple thing can be put aside for now, the city is in chaos, and the mess left by natural disasters should always be put a little more front. ”

"No, actually," the Governor said with a pure smile, one marveling at how easily she had been able to reach levels almost beyond the limits of humanity, "you saved the city. Of course, the hero will enjoy worship while everyone is crying and tearing up the ruins, and that's what he deserves. For ordinary people who have suffered a disaster, the fact that those who are kind to them are treated well because of that kindness is in itself one of the comforts they need most. ”

"So, please accept this thanks, the temple is yours. ”

The countess was a little surprised, in fact, every word of the governor was expected by her, but the pure enthusiasm caught Helen off guard.

"Professor Magellan......"

"Yes, that rare gentleman," the Governor winked at the countess with a smile, "I deliberately did not let him come with you, because I wanted to be alone with the hero." ”

The countess laughed.

"I know he's a very rare kind of man, with a level of courage that almost no one else can match, but I thought, at least for a little while, please let him rest. ”

"In fact, he bears most of the ......"

"He's going to be a hero in the next story, right?"

The Governor smiled and placed a bright red rose on the plate in front of the countess's eyes.

"Yes. ”

"The big ship of the Holy See has just left. ”

The countess smiled.

"I remember when I took a boat from the city and went downstream, there were no sails painted on the docks with the Holy Trinity insignia......"

"There really weren't sails on that ship...... It had just arrived here and left almost at the same time. ”

"I remember ......"

The smile on the countess's face vanished.

"Yes, Royal Trinity, legend has it that science itself crossed the galaxy with this ship, which has no sails but has a power that can never be used up. The Governor smiled and lowered his fork, "What an honor, that once a living saint had come to my city. ”

......

"So, I actually changed very little bit of things. ”

The post-flood site was a commonplace mess, but the change was surprising compared to what it had been before.

"No, you've changed enough that we might miss that point in time that only happens once in tens of thousands of years. ”

Magellan smiled and shook his head.

"Sorry, I'm just a little disappointed. ”

"Because you haven't completely destroyed our hopes?"

"Haha......"

The countess was delighted to see Magellan surrender, and she loved the game, especially as the victor.

"The farmers outside the city are far more sensitive than the people in the city, their ancestors spent at least a thousand years clearing the land along the Nile, and the annual flood is a very important time, so no one actually lost their lives because of yesterday's flood. ”

Magellan smiled and shook his head.

"You should be a little surprised at this point. ”

"The truth is, if most people were really in trouble, there wouldn't be so many lights along the river now. ”

The countess frowned and glanced into the distance: "When did your eyesight become so ......?"

"Then again, why are we here at night?"

"Because it was already dark at the end of the private meeting between the Governor and me. ”

Magellan followed the countess, carefully holding her by the shoulders to save her from falling into the mud of the river, and the two slowly and painstakingly navigated the numerous traps until they reached the temple outcropping.

Even though the night obscured most of the details of the scene, the silhouette was still majestic. Half of the square bunker-like temple had collapsed, and an obelisk towered over the edge of the ruins, stabbing lonely into the sky, and beneath these small combinations, a large and complex subterranean structure was partially exposed, and the labyrinthine chambers within it were dizzying.
