Chapter 49: The Gods' Preferences

"Are you worried about what will happen if you fall into a camel's trap, or are you worried about falling into a trap?"

Magellan was silent for a moment and shook his head. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well, it's me thinking too much. ”

The countess stepped forward as if nothing had happened.

"But...... Camels shouldn't have caused me a little bit of trouble......"

"No, yes to us. ”

"But the camel also has a troublesome grey knight by his side, and they can do more than that. ”

"It's an unnecessary worry. ”

Once again, the countess stood in the darkness and looked up at the tall Anubis, this time the frescoes were no longer unfamiliar to her.

"The people of the Holy See will not snatch anything from me, so it is a matter of course, the camel is facing two people. ”

Magellan looked up at the mural and was silent.

"You don't know what's going on in Alexander, maybe that will make you worry less unnecessarily. ”

"I'm not used to saying that......"

"The camel and the grey knight are searching for Thoth's left leg in the temple of Horus, and it seems that they are not as skilled in traps as you say. ”

Magellan glanced at the countess with a surprised look: "They fell into your trap?"

"It is not a trap," said the countess, who seemed to have an answer as she walked towards a gate, "and the trap is like a pit in the plain, which does not leave no path for those who pass by, and I prefer cliffs to me." ”

"Cliffs will also be overturned. ”

"That's a cliff you haven't seen me make. ”

Magellan shook his head and followed the countess into the door, without saying anything more.

Behind the gate was a place that made Magellan feel very bored, the almost completely unchanged sarcophagus, the dust, the walls, which made him irrepressibly annoyed that he was still standing still.

"You haven't told me why it's love. ”

"If a man and a woman are married in a short period of time, it is only natural that they should embark on an eternal journey together. ”

Magellan was silent for a long time, and he stood and watched the countess cast his magic, watched the countess take out the jar of the falcon's head from the sarcophagus, and watched the countess walk towards the door.

"That mural is a relief. ”

"What do you want to say?"

The countess paused, as if she did not understand what Magellan meant.

"What do you see?"

"You can climb up. ”

The two men looked at each other in silence and did not speak for a long time.

......

"It's a troublesome job," said a middle-aged man with a purple-black face, squatting on the ground and gulping rice into his mouth, not stopping to talk to the camel, "but we are lucky, the trouble is the countess's, she is a good person." ”

"Lucky ......"

The middle-aged man interrupted the camel with a smile: "Think we're unlucky?"

He laughed with wrinkles all over his face, and looked like a real old man, and if the camel hadn't seen his power on the construction site, he might have been deceived by this appearance.

"Average......

"No, you must know that the work of the countess is hard, but it is also well paid. It's going to be a big project, and I won't have to worry about finding a way to support my family for at least two or three years," the middle-aged man finished his lunch with a marvel that amazed the camel, wiped his mouth vigorously, and sighed pleasantly, "As for you, if you weren't so impetuous, it would be the same. ”

"You say you'll be digging here for two or three years?"

"If she can't dig something, the countess won't stop, what a wonderful woman. ”

"How is that possible," the camel's denial was not entirely disguised, "is the countess willing to stay in Emunquet for that long?"

"The camel caravan that walks in the desert always has to take a long, long detour in order not to leave the water source, that is to reach the destination. ”

The man leaned against the wall in the shade, letting the drowsy heat of midday envelop his body.

"The Countess is busy, and she can't stay in Emunchet for long. "The camel showed all the characteristics of an opponent worthy of refutation.

"I had been digging holes here for two years before the Countess came to Emunquet. ”

The man enjoyed the surprise on the camel's face, one of his favorite after-dinner entertainments, and by far the most heart-warming one.

The camel looked around with exaggerated lewd movements, and then put his face in front of the man: "What did you dig out?"

"What?"

"Treasure!" the camel lowered his voice, looking completely unaware of the look on the man's face, "this is the temple, if there is nothing good down there, why is the countess digging here?"

The man smiled and shook his head, closing his eyes, he seemed to be about to fall asleep.

"There's only a room made of stone down there, and you don't know what archaeology is and what history is, right......?"

"No, if she's already found the treasure, why should we dig slowly on it? ”

"The treasury of Horus can only be opened in the sun, but believe me, there is nothing useful to us in it, we are not magicians. ”

The camel hid his surprise and ecstasy in his heart and left quietly, and the man slipped quietly into sleep behind him.

"Good afternoon. ”

Outside the crowd, the Count stood quietly alone in the shadows, and he did not attract anyone's attention, much to the camel's incredibleness.

"Good afternoon. ”

"The treasury of Horus can only be opened in the sun. ”

The Count nodded slowly: "So the Countess gave up the excavation and began this hopelessly slow project. ”

"Only magic can work miracles," the camel bent down and looked into the earl's eyes, "unless you are stronger than the countess, we can only give up." ”

"Magic is no better than anything else when it comes to working miracles. ”

The Count stood up and turned to look at the deserted construction site, the air rising above the dry mud that distorted everything.

"Let's go. ”

......

"Will Anubis really trust mortals completely?"

"If that mortal passes the test, yes. ”

"There is a place on the mural where the conspiracy of the gods is depicted. ”

"It stands to reason that Anubis himself was a participant in the murder of Thoth. ”

"Is he even willing to tell such a secret to the faithful?"

"Tested believers, fully compliant with the requirements of Anubis, yes, they can keep secrets. ”

Magellan looked up at the countess's magic, and then shook his head absentmindedly: "Maybe they have lived until now......"

"No, usually that......"
