Chapter 38: Disguise

It was a very open plateau, with a waterfall hanging from the cliffs in the distance, and the river flowing straight down to the next cliff, while elsewhere there were large earthy rocks dotted with drought-tolerant shrubs. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The pile of ruins in the distance was a large pile of crumbling boulders, the same color as the ground around them, and the earthy yellow of Emmagerquet reminded Magellan of many temples he had seen.

"It looks like the monastery was destroyed. ”

The boulders on the ruins are unnaturally shaped, and the structure in which they are stacked on top of each other is just as awkward.

"Considering that the underworld is below, maybe we just missed the entrance to the Temple of Anubis. ”

"We didn't miss anything," Magellan thought to himself that the countess was right, but there was no missed corner in his memory, "and there are no caves behind the three waterfalls below. ”

"If the temple of Anubis was behind this waterfall in front of us, then this pile of ruins shouldn't be in its current location. ”

Magellan nodded silently, and a sense of foreboding began to rise in his heart.

The Countess was right, if the ruins were left over from the monastery, then it could only be located closer to the waterfall below than the one above, but the space below was too small to be built on top.

"No god would disdain to disguise himself in front of mortals, let alone the most otherworldly Anubis ......"

Turning to look down at the strings of pearl-like waterfalls and rocks at the water's edge, Magellan saw it all change.

"What do you want to say?"

"The camels have come. ”

The countess walked up to Magellan, then sighed, "I'm sorry, I can't understand your intuition. ”

"There," Magellan said, pointing to the path under the cliff, "the camel could not have come up from below, and I saw no traces, so it was only possible for him to find the beginning of the path." ”

"And then what did he do? Cover up a cave that leads to the underworld?"

"You didn't feel the breath from the underworld, did you......"

"That cave can't be plugged because it's the source of the Nile. ”

"As you might think, it's an illusion, but that magic doesn't mask the aura of the underworld, it makes you ignore the feeling. ”

The countess took a deep breath, then raised her right hand, and a black aura erupted from the cliff wall below, staining the falling river water pitch black.

"A master of trickery and a master of magic...... How did you find out?"

"There, a familiar camel's footprint," Magellan said, pointing to a rock beneath a series of cascades, "they followed the road to get here, and then waded across the river to the cave, where the camel and his fellow magician camouflaged the entrance a little before leaving, and the magic user's hands and feet were almost perfect, but the camel was a little unnecessary. ”

So he plugged the hole with a stone to create a perfect camouflage. What the hell did you find?"

"On the rocks by the river, near the bottom of the hillside, traces of erosion by the water are exposed. ”

The countess shook her head helplessly: "That's definitely not a convincing reason. ”

"But when I noticed that, I smelled the underworld. ”

"What the hell did you pass with the camel?"

"A lot of trouble. ”

The countess said no more, she jumped down the hill and went straight to the blocked cave.

"Beware of traps. ”

The sound of the waterfall filled the space, and Magellan yelled hysterically so that the countess could hear what he was saying.

Standing on the water in front of the waterfall, Helen finally shook her head and handed over the hands-on errand to Magellan.

This relieved Magellan, who walked under the waterfall and began to move the stones piled together.

The Countess stood behind Magellan, ready to defeat a deadly magic imbued with the dangerous power of the underworld.

Then Magellan was knocked away by a jet of water.

That was what happened when he moved away the innermost stone at the top of the cave, and the last stone, which failed to hold back the pressure of the water that had been blocked for a long time, flew out and hit Magellan in the chest, and then the ensuing stream of water made it worse.

It wasn't until Magellan fell into the water that the countess realized what had happened, and they were all on guard against the possibility of sudden deadly magic, completely ignoring the flying stones.

"It's definitely not camel ......"

Magellan got up from the water in embarrassment, the wound to his chest was not serious, but he choked on the water.

"His magic advisor is a very dangerous Spear of Michael. ”

"Sounds amazing......"

"Do you seem to know him?"

The countess walked towards the entrance of the cave, sparing Magellan, who was embarrassed and speechless.

"Do you think there will be a sudden eruption of deadly magic composed of the power of the underworld in this place now?"

......

"Do you really think we have a chance to enter Alexandria and run inside the Temple of Horus?"

"You know that the countess and Magellan are now in front of the temple of Anubis, and this is an opportunity, and the people of the king of the world are more than allies of the countess. ”

"Okay...... I originally thought that having a piece of corpse would be enough. ”

"You really didn't think that when Magellan and the Countess raided your village with the army of the King of the World, how long would it take for the sand pirates to realize that they had to hand over the piece of corpse we had?"

"You're right," the camel shook his head in the scorching desert sun, "to put it more lightly, how many of the three traps we put in that pile of rocks do you think they'll step on?"

"All. ”

......

"Unlucky. ”

Magellan muttered to himself and walked to the side of the stone pile, dodging the gushing water jet and continuing to move the stone out of the hole, which was a very troublesome process, both to avoid the current and to be careful not to let the stone fall.

Eventually, however, he succeeded in opening the breach, and the current became noticeably smoother and less dangerous as the breach became larger.

"Let's go. ”

Magellan turned around, and was about to gesture to tell the countess that he could move on, when he found that Helen in front of him had turned into a skeleton.

"You ......"

"You don't look good. ”

The skeleton shook its right hand gracefully, and it reverted to a flesh-and-blood countess.

"Sorry, I didn't notice the magic in the water, it was too faint. ”

Magellan shook his head, his ears filled with the sound of water crashing against the rocks, but Magellan knew in his heart what the countess was talking about.

"It's time to go in. ”
