Chapter 39 Doing things
"Wait. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The countess felt a subtle malice in the cavern, a disdain from Anubis, not the coldness of the underworld.
This gave Helen a sense of foreboding.
Her voice disappeared into the sound of the water around her, and Magellan did nothing, as he would surely do.
As Magellan climbed up the rock pile and into the cave, a poisonous snake bit his ankle.
Like the sun god who was hit by Isis's machination, venom spread inexorably through Magellan's body, taking away the light and all the power in front of his eyes.
"I hope this will teach you to fear the gods......"
The countess shook her head as she spoke, knowing very well that it could not be.
......
"It's a nostalgic air ......"
Alexandria was on the delta of the Nile, and the water of the river divided the city into three parts, but only the mud mixed with yellow sand in the bazaars on the east bank, and the strange smell of spices from countless distant worlds brewed to make people sneeze, all this was the Alexander of the Emunchet people.
"Let's go, we don't have much time. ”
"Magellan stepped on those three traps without landing on the ground, what are you worried about?"
"The countess. ”
The camel smiled and shook his head, he could fully understand the stereotype of his companion who belonged to the devout, but it was not necessary.
"The time was just right for us to have dinner at the shop in Old Mentuhotep. ”
The setting sun rendered a cloudy yellow in the sky, a faint red set on the edge of the dark clouds, which looked like white, the deep gray of the blue sky had appeared, the lights of Alexander on the ground were sporadically lit, and the whole city had a pitch-black outline and a dim appearance, like some corpse that had been roughly cut off, but still had tendons connected.
The camel shook his head, shook the sudden imagination out of his mind, and urged his mount to run towards the city.
As the city approached, the camels began to see something familiar to him, the white tents on the flat roofs of the houses and the leisurely people on the streets, all of which made him feel good.
"Stop. ”
It was hard to say whether the camel was annoyed by the interruption or overly surprised, and he didn't stop immediately after the magic advisor said this, and even he didn't know why.
"What?"
"There's a wanted notice on the wall over there. ”
"The fiefdom of the king of the world will not be wanted by explorers with permits and a pope's henchmen. ”
"And who are the two men on that painting?"
The smile on the camel's face twisted into a strange cry and laughter, and every line was full of surprise.
"You saw that, right. ”
A passer-by was hurrying away with a panicked expression, and he clearly saw the wanted post.
"The Countess?"
"There can't be anyone else, you see, we're both together on the wanted notice. ”
The camel picked up the water bladder, opened the stopper, and plugged it back on.
"Is there any way to do it?"
"A lot, but it's time-consuming. ”
......
When Magellan woke up, the loud sound of water was already far away from him. The sound of running water echoed through the cave, and the countess's face was as bright as a goddess, and there seemed to be a world hidden in those eyes.
Magellan blinked with difficulty, trying to see what was in that world, and then he realized how impolite it was, and turned his face away in embarrassment.
"Meow. ”
Miss Betty's face almost had "disdain" written on it, and her voice contained the word perfectly.
Magellan propped up his upper body, looked at the gloom in the cave, and shook his head.
"What's that?"
"Curse. ”
"Excuse me, how long did I sleep?"
"For a moment. ”
The countess smiled and put her hand in the water, and something cold and black flowed out of her snow-white hand.
"What's that?"
"The curse of Anubis, mortals who are disrespectful to the gods will get what he deserves. ”
"Another god who, like Seth, is not willing to die honestly, hasn't he yet embarked on an eternal journey?"
Ignoring Magellan's complaints, the countess raised her finger to point deeper into the cave.
"I didn't go to the front, there are a lot of traps. ”
"If it's the camel's stay, then I might be able to deal with it, but if it's the god's ......"
"I can take you around. ”
"If you can't get around......"
"We don't have much time, let's talk about it later. ”
The Countess took a step forward.
"Wait," Magellan struggled to his feet, "there's a trap there." ”
"What?"
"The mantra of the camel is that if you don't have the ability to do a difficult thing, you have to do 10,000 simple things that can be done. ”
"So?"
"He made countless traps in this cave that were very easy to spot. ”
The countess faced Magellan with a helpless smile, for she had found the trap, which was indeed a very poorly disguised inferior product, but she was still blinded for a while, though shortly, enough for her to fall into.
"We don't have a lot of time. ”
"Each trap is deadly enough and troublesome to lift, and the camels just didn't spend much time camouflage. ”
The air was quiet, and the sound of the water was monotonous, making the silence unbearable.
......
The camel wore an expression on his face that he would jump up and hit at any moment, and glared viciously at everyone who came near him.
He already had another face, from the hands of his magical advisors, simple, effective, but at the same time very uncomfortable.
The camel felt that his face was cracking, and it seemed so, his face was now wrinkled and weather-beaten yellow, and the visual dislocation of the dark color had distorted his face into that of another person.
So he now swaggers and swaggers at the old Mentuhotep's shop eating pilaf.
The Count of Monte Cristo took off his black burqa for the first time in a long time, revealing the pale face that had spent the first half of his life in a black cell, frowning and munching on a date, while Alexander's evening wind swept softly outside the house, and the candles in the shop flickered and shone on the deep wrinkles of his forehead.
"What else do you think the countess has done?"
"I don't know. ”
"In other words, you know, what the countess did would stop us from taking Thoth's left leg from the Temple of Horus?"
The Count faced the camel with his usual gloomy expressionlessness, silent, as if in thought.
"The countess will not do anything useless. ”
"No, I wouldn't have been able to do anything like this without her in this world. Whatever she did, I'm going to find a way to do my thing, do you know what she did?"
"Maybe we'll find out soon. ”
