Chapter 70: The Pyramids
It is rare for humans to build a "labyrinth", and for the Countess and Magellan, buildings such as the summer palace, which is huge and complex with complex roads, are far from being "labyrinths", because there are no "meaningless" buildings in the summer palace.

But this is not the case with the underground structure in front of you.
There were countless rooms tightly packed together, and they collapsed and cracked to varying degrees during the flood, and the end result was a labyrinth of ruins.
"Did you go in?"
"There is only one path that can reach the end, and that path will not be harmed by the divine power of Horus. ā
Magellan stood beside the countess, carefully jumping over a quagmire that looked as "solid" on the surface as the rest and standing outside the cave that had been downward.
"Understood. ā
He lifted his feet and walked forward.
"Let's go. ā
Magellan took a few steps, then suddenly stopped, and turned to look at the countess, who had not followed.
"You ......," the countess shook her head with a smile, "I remember you haven't been here before. ā
"We passed Alexandria by boat when we came to Emunquet, and I saw the ruins of the lighthouse from afar on the deck. ā
"No, you haven't been to this ruin. ā
Magellan nodded: "So?"
"Nothing. ā
The countess put her hand on Magellan's shoulder and jumped over the quagmire like a fawn in the woods.
"Have you ever thought about where we're going next?"
"The temple of Osiris, where there is half of Thoth's torso. ā
"I think maybe your close friends have taken the corpse. ā
"There is only one possibility," said Magellan, standing on a slope covered with slippery river mud, holding out his hand to the countess's arm, "and the camel and the count did not rush into the complex temple of Osiris, but picked up the body in another unprotected place. ā
"So you think Osiris actually let that corpse out of his grasp?"
"The Lord of the Underworld doesn't need anything from Thoth. Magellan continued to walk forward, he behaved rather clumsy, while the countess looked much more relaxed than he was, and the two men were like a butterfly flying around a beetle on a branch," it was Isis who persuaded him that in any case the resolution of the gods could not bypass the god, and that the great Osiris could not live without the spoils of war. ā
"Is there any reason you have to go there other than these obvious super secrets, Professor Magellan?"
"Only with Osiris can we find a way to resurrect Thoth, and even if the god is not truly dead, it will still take secret and great magic to bring the torn corpse back together. ā
"So you want to say that the camel and the omniscient earl gave up the opportunity to gain knowledge, and just picked up the corpse?"
Magellan smiled and let go of the hand that was holding the countess's arm, and they finally reached the flat road, where the mud was still troublesome, but at least it was not as difficult as on the ramp.
"They just want to wreak havoc, so they can be very relaxed. ā
The countess smiled and shook her hand, and a turbulent stream of essence enough to kill a giant beast rushed through the corridor, carrying away the mud like a violent wind, leaving a clean stone slab.
"For people like you, charm comes only from ability, doesn't it? That's why the theologian who always knows what is right has you put everything into it to save him with just one sentence. ā
Magellan smiled and shook his head.
"No, I just treat him as a friend. ā
"That's ...... It's enviable. "I always thought you were the kind of person who threw your friends on the other side of the world and never saw each other again. ā
"Please be merciful to me, and be your friend, this honor, ma'am. ā
"The request is dismissed. ā
The two did not continue the topic, because before their eyes, a splendid temple appeared.
It was a temple like no other, reminding Magellan of a long memory, the goddess named Athena.
"Horus was only so direct in his time as the patron saint of the pharaohs, and I think the history of this temple is very glorious......"
"And what about this rock?"
Magellan followed the countess around the statue of the god and saw a wall.
"Very much in keeping with the legend preached by Horus, this door needs sunlight to open. ā
"Why do you say that?"
"In ancient Emankai, there was only one kind of stone that could completely isolate the power of the gods, and that was a divine object created by the sun god, and when the sun shone on it, the stone would become ordinary, and then it could be pushed by the divine power. ā
The countess looked at Magellan and shook her head: "I don't remember when I told you this. ā
"When you met with the Doge, I took the time to sort out my memories and go through what I had said about Emanchet. ā
"Completely in the head?"
"Yes. ā
"And what are your conclusions?"
"We'd better go back and rest. ā
"I thought you would create a magic that summons the sun. ā
"I'm sorry, I've been very slow with the essence......"
......
Desert, under the pyramids.
"Why are we here?"
The camel was flanked by sand thieves, and the Count was filling a black bag with sand in the sand in front of him.
"The ritual of resurrecting Thoth requires the altar of the sun god. ā
"But there are only pyramids here, and that's the tomb of the pharaoh. ā
"Yes, there is no altar of the sun god here, in fact," the count paused, and then stood up with his bag in his hand, "the last altar of the sun god was destroyed in the war hundreds of years ago. ā
"What do you want to do?"
"Some of the things that have to be done in advance. ā
"What?"
The camel knew that he ought to know a lot of things, but he was just tired of guessing dumb riddles, and why did he bother to think for himself when the Count had all the questions he asked.
"To complete the sacrifice, let Magellan hand over what he had taken. ā
"You still haven't said why we're here. ā
"The pyramids were built by the pharaohs for themselves, and they claimed to be the sun god himself, so you see, each pyramid is actually an altar to the sun god, but with a little difference. ā
"We're not going to destroy the pyramids, you know, if we do, the army of the king of the world will flood the entire desert and let all the sand pirates die in the sun. ā
"No, you don't need to do that at all, we need altars for our sacrifices. ā
"Sounds like a lot of trouble, what else do you need?"
"A force so powerful that it could completely destroy Magellan. ā
"You've got a candidate, right?"
