Magellan looked at the uninvited guest who was sleepwalking in front of him and confessed everything to the countess, and his heart was full of shock. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"We have come from the glorious capital city of Alexandria to snatch a treasure from a foreigner and prove that we are more qualified than camels to be the boss of sand pirates. ”

"Meow. ”

The countess waved her hand like a fan on a hot summer afternoon, and the strong men with swords turned away.

"Hopefully, they won't meet other outsiders with the same bad intentions. ”

"That doesn't matter," Magellan said with a smile, turning around, his gaze passing through the low houses on either side of the street and landing on the square fortress-like temple, "I see. ”

"Dialects?"

"Yes, the dialect here uses a different grammar than anywhere else around, but it is the same as the glorious dialect of Alexandria, the royal capital of Horus. ”

"You haven't studied the Alexandrian dialect, have you?"

"But the Alexandrian dialect has left many, many written records, and I can learn it from now on. ”

"Good news. The countess turned to face Magellan, "Is there anything else you have to say about those guys?"

"There will be no next batch, because they are the smallest minority of camels, otherwise the Alexanders would not have come here. The sand thieves didn't know what the camel was looking for, and it was clear that the camel lied to them that it was a treasure. You don't have to have pity on these people, they don't deserve it. ”

"I'm strange......" the countess seemed to remember something, and she was visibly absent-minded, "what did you do as an explorer sometime in the past?"

"I found a very dangerous and very valuable thing with the best of a bunch of outlaws, and I threw it away, and no one in the world could find it again. ”

"It's hard to imagine ......"

"At that time, we were a group of people who had nothing but courage...... Now that a new era has arrived, I am honestly surprised that the king of the world chose the camel hyena and not the ambitious newcomer. ”

Magellan seemed to be drained of his strength by the memory, and he appeared weaker than ever.

"Explorers have never been powerful and rich, we have always fought for a little money, and now those who call themselves explorers are just another kind of people who use that name. ”

"I know," said the countess, as she began to walk back, "Professor Magellan. ”

......

"Once upon a time, the goddess lived with Horus in the royal capital of Alexandria, and they ruled the empire with the glorious gods, but the most beloved of the gods was still Horus, the guardian of the pharaohs, the son of the underworld, the embodiment of the sun. ”

"Nephthys was different from all the other gods, she was a guardian, she favored wives and pregnant women, she did not want to fight with the gods, she did not want to expand the temple. But the alliance of the gods was so fragile, and the flame of ambition was so strong, that Horus was ousted from the throne, and the only goddess without ambition was welcomed by the gods, and she returned to the Lake of Cranes in gloom. ”

"It was a grand triumph, and the goddess received the greatest inheritance of the peaceful empire, and she used the gold to build temples in the oasis, asking her people to be here forever, and to bless and protect its people whenever the new empire was founded. ”

"This is undoubted history, and after a long time, the most suspicious story of the legends that have been circulated is a ...... The story of the goddess's affair with Horus. ”

"We know that the gods never entered the Lake of Cranes, as they all saw the goddess as the only ally they could fight for, and that naturally included Horus. ”

"The story goes that the glorious and majestic god, Horus the eagle-headed, came to the Lake of Cranes, and he was scorched by the fire of longing in his heart, and he could not control himself, but the goddess took pity on him, but she would not agree to Horus's proposal. ”

So the goddess waved her wings and flew across the lake in the night into the endless desert, where she met the patron saint of the pharaoh. ”

"The goddess told Horus that he could not enter the Lake of Cranes, because the left eye of the god of the eagle was at the bottom of the lake, and if the gods got too close, that eye would return, and not only would the lake of cranes be destroyed in a terrible explosion, but the gods would also come and kill Horus, who was seriously injured by the explosion. ”

Horus laughed and told the goddess that it was all about nothing, and that the sun and the moon would never see each other in the sky, and that it was a great force that separated the two, and that a magic could separate his eyes. ”

So the god waved his wings and entered the oasis, his one eye shining like the sun that lit up the dark night sky, and his wings brought up a strong wind and blew huge waves on the surface of the lake. ”

The goddess quietly returned to the lake and waited under the temple. ”

Horus stopped in front of the temple, knowing that the goddess had a new request. ”

"The goddess told Horus that she was of small stature, that the temple gates were too small for the eagle god to pass through, and that there was no doubt that the great pharaoh's guardian could not have drawn his wings and bowed his head into the temple of Nephthys. ”

Horus thanked the goddess for her thoughtfulness, laughed and spread his wings, and then majestically recited a incantation that only he knew, and then turned into a ray of light and shot into the temple through the small window at the top of the temple. ”

"The goddess entered her own temple and stood on a stone platform to offer the highest welcome and respect to Horus. ”

The Eagle God was pleased, but he still didn't feel enough, and he hadn't forgotten what he had come here for. ”

Nephthys knew the god, and she did not say a word about Horus's desire, but instead made a look of joy and asked the mighty eagle god for help. ”

Horus asked the goddess when she was bothered, and Nephthys told him that the inhabitants of the Lake of Cranes had prayed to her for a spell. ”

"Horus bragged his knowledge to the goddess, and he was indeed a knowledgeable god, for the eagle god learned magic from Isis and law from Thoth, and he was a wise ruler, a strict judge, and an inscrutable master of magic. The god asked the goddess what spell she wanted. ”

The goddess replied that it was a spell that would make the water float on the wind. ”

This made Horus very difficult, he had great divine powers, but he also knew that the laws of the universe could not be violated, and the fact that the Nile was rushing on the earth would not change. ”

But the god was so bold that he was determined not to be deterred by the troubles, and he stretched out his right hand and spread his wings, and his one eye shone brightly, and he recited the mysterious language taught to him by Isis majestically, and the waves of the Crane Lake were so great that a hole appeared under the lake. ”
