Chapter Seventy-Two: Foreign Aid
"When the King of the World first came to Emanchet, the gods had disappeared for a thousand years, but there were still thousands of Esunkai people who regarded the pyramids as miracles, worshipped, sacrificed, and even spontaneously fought tomb robbers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"So, is this altar in front of us complete enough to sacrifice Magellan?"
The Count was silent for a moment.
"Yes. ”
The camel laughed.
The road turned at a right angle ahead, and the camel came to the end and turned around.
Then he saw the light.
Camel had heard countless people lament and complain about the crampedness of the pyramid, and marveled at the pharaoh's stinginess with the space of his palace, but now he wanted nothing more than to laugh at it.
The pharaoh left himself the grandest and most glorious space, and the entire pyramid was a splendid palace in the entire above-ground part, built entirely of light, except for the narrow burial chamber underground.
"Praise be to you, Pharaoh, you are the ...... of the sun"
......
"I just received good news. ”
Magellan looked at the countess with an expression that almost burst out laughing: "You forgot to mention that there is bad news." ”
"No, no bad news this time. ”
The countess looked at Magellan with a smile, then stood up.
"Remember, you asked me why I came to Emunchet at this time. ”
"Yes. ”
"The reason is a prophecy. ”
"I know that you have only begun to act because of the time of that prophecy. But the problem is, I can't think of any good news that this prophecy could have to do with it. ”
This prophecy is known throughout Emenchet, but not everyone knows the right time, and even your theologian friends have only followed you here. ”
Magellan smiled and nodded: "A master magician whose attainments far surpass his peers is indeed good news. ”
The countess shook her finger, and a crystal appeared on the top of the tent, and a pillar of light fell to the ground.
"I ceremoniously introduce you, Lord Emeritus, High Magical Advisor to the King of the World, President of the Pyramid Research Society, Lord Emeritus. ”
An old Emunkai man appeared in the pillar of light.
"Long time no see, ma'am. ”
The old man smiled and bowed to the countess.
"Long time no see, Lord. ”
"Meow ......"
Miss Betty seemed to like the countess's trick, and she jumped on Helen's shoulders and shouted at the old man in the pillar of light.
"Then this is Professor Magellan," the old man turned to Magellan and nodded, "Your understanding and use of the ancient magic of Theros is outstanding, Medea once told me. ”
"My pleasure. ”
Magellan nodded.
"Are things going well?"
"Meow ......"
Miss Betty answered before the countess, making everyone laugh.
"It's not going well so far, and there is a Holy See theologian who has been asking us for trouble. ”
"That's ......"
The old man shook his head and sighed.
"Don't worry, the plan has been affected a bit, but the outcome will not change. ”
That is, you still have to perform the sacrifice of the resurrection god on the altar of the sun god...... Where are we now?"
"We were looking for the temple of Osiris. ”
The old man nodded.
"I'll wait for you in the desert of Giza, where the last piece of Thoth's body should be. ”
"Meow!"
"Goodbye. ”
The pillar of light went out, and the old man disappeared with it.
"Miss Betty seems to like him, doesn't she?"
Magellan reached out to the kitten, but was dodged by the latter.
"We can start digging. ”
......
The camel followed the Count into the altar of the sun god.
It looks like a pyramid made of crystal, with no gaps, no blemishes, pure gold in the sun, and nothing in between.
But the camel knew it wasn't, and the sun hung in the middle of the sky above the altar, and it was midnight.
"Amazing, isn't it?"
This is not the voice that belongs to the Count.
The camel raised his weapon almost the moment the sound sounded, but his attack missed.
It's not one person who makes the sound.
It was a humanoid glow, maybe an illusion, or something inhuman.
"Yes, amazing magic. ”
The Count turned to face the old-looking uninvited guest.
"It's an altar that works miracles, and you can use it to resurrect a god......"
"It can also extract divinity. ”
The old man looked surprised.
"The theologians of the Holy See have some research results beyond everyone's imagination, right?"
The Count took a few steps forward and faced the old man: "Whoever you are, I can say that Thoth's corpse has no value to me, what I want is the divinity of Magellan." ”
The light-filled figure opened its arms and laughed for a long, long pause.
"Do you know what you're talking about? Magellan can't be a god......"
"It is true, if a man with divinity is a god, then yes, Magellan is now a god, a god through and through. ”
"I think I'm going to have to raise my bid. ”
"No, there's only one offer you can offer, and you can't raise or lower it," the Count said aggressively, but he spoke in a tone that barely felt it, "So, are you happy with the deal?"
The old man smiled and nodded, "Don't let Helen find out, I don't want to see the deal fail." ”
"Me too. ”
......
In the canyon at sunset, the red rock walls and the yellowish sand dunes mix to turn a variety of shades of yellowish-brown.
The countess was casually chanting incantations on the sand dunes as a huge whirlpool formed beneath her feet.
"Tell me, what's the right route?"
"Below the dunes is a canyon, and on either side of the valley is the entrance to the pharaoh's tomb, but unfortunately, I don't know which tomb the entrance to the temple of Osiris is. ”
"Are you saying that we have to try them one by one?"
The whirlpool was expanding, and the shadow of the dunes was eventually higher than the two of them.
"Osiris's complete death has left a lot of things, and I don't think this process with constant harvest will be too boring. ”
"That makes it sound much better that we had to try it one by one," the countess smiled at Magellan as she stood in the center of the whirlpool, "You've gotten a lot smarter in the underworld, haven't you......"
"Meow!"
Miss Betty sat on the countess's shoulder and shouted, nodding to Magellan.
"I just hope it doesn't take too much time......"
