The goddess praised the miracle and the gods who performed it, then walked out of the temple, waved her wings, and flew to the lake. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNephthys walked underwater, and the lake automatically made way for her until the goddess came to the underwater space. ”

"Horus waited there, and he left the temple with magic and came here. ”

There are many versions of the story that follows, including two polar gods who turn against each other and establish a relationship, but the result is that Horus leaves the Lake of Cranes and never returns. ”

"That's what the story is all about. ”

Magellan looked up one last time to confirm the moon's position and walked into the temple.

"It is not mentioned in the story that only now can we enter the real temple. ”

"That's another legend, the people here believe that a thousand years after Horus left, the gods will come to the Lake of Cranes again. Magellan listened intently from the dark temple to the sound of waves on the lake in the distance, "Here, Horus's desire to get Nephthys's love is a common theme in countless legends, but without exception, in each story Horus returns after a thousand years." ”

"So," said the countess, walking around the idol and towards the secret door, "what does a thousand years represent?"

"Once again, the moon and the sun affect the tides, and the water level of Lake Tsuru rises. ”

"You've dated the story?"

"No, I remember the astronomical research report I read before, the last time this happened was nine hundred and seventy-three years ago, and the next time, it's tonight. ”

The countess put her hand on the mechanism, and the secret door opened silently, and the two of them walked in together, up the stairs, and finally reached the empty room.

"Here ......"

The countess sighed in amazement at the silver moonlight that illuminated the room through the window, and at the frescoes outlined in silver thread on the walls.

"It's completely different from the last time I came. ”

"This is Nephthys, she is perhaps the most misunderstood deity," Magellan looked up at the frescoed image of the goddess and Horus staring at each other, "The legend never ceases to imply that the goddess is the god of the moon, but I still can't understand the love for Horus here." ”

"The goddess accepts sacrifices, bestows favors, meets Horus, and ......" The countess finally stops in front of a picture.

The silver lines outline the tall Nephthys and the mortal priest standing in front of her, the wings of the goddess are inlaid with stained glass, clear blue and seductive purple, and in her raised right hand holds the Knot of Isis, which represents life, and on the top of her head is a crescent moon.

"Eluita ......"

It was a cuneiform word on the side of the fresco that meant "moon".

With the countess's words, a hole appeared in the floor of the room, and below it was a stone staircase that descended.

"When the right time comes, it's so easy. Magellan listened to the sound of the tide and let out a low exclamation, "I'm just weird that if we miss this time, our plans ......"

"Meow. ”

The countess smiled inscrutablely, "You know very little about magic, Professor Magellan. ”

"I don't believe in fate. ”

"You just don't like the descriptions of some shallow people. ”

"When you say that, it seems that I am also shallow. ”

Magellan led the way down the stairs and into another room in the ubiquitous moonlight.

This is the altar of the goddess.

Anyone who sees the room at first glance will be convinced of this, it is a small room, but it is gorgeous and magnificent, and in the moonlight, all the walls of the room are inlaid with silver wires of clear glass, and the scene outside can be seen unobstructed.

"We're ......on top of the statue of the goddess," Magellan thought for a moment and nodded, "yes, according to the route we took here, this is the place." ”

The countess smiled behind him, "You really don't know much about magic. ”

"Magic, no wonder I feel like something is there all the time, making me uncomfortable......"

"It's breathtaking. ”

Whether they knew it was a magic illusion or not, the sight before their eyes was nothing short of spectacular.

The moonlight shines through the walls, illuminating the temple, and the smiling face of the goddess is in front of her, surrounded by frescoes made of silver filigree, all of which are sacrifices to the goddess by believers in the past.

"Nephthys, Alakurumai, and Baylima, ......"

The Countess uttered a long list of meaningless words in a solemn tone, which she had heard the prayer of the High Priestess of the Goddess during a sacrifice, and had heard it only once, and the Countess had written it down.

But that doesn't seem to work.

"What is that spell for Horus to travel through space?"

Magellan was still studying and observing the murals on the walls, and he was surprised: "Aren't there secret doors and tunnels here?"

"Nope. ”

"I don't know which one. ”

"You ......," the countess shook her head, "if you know enough about the magic of ancient Emenchet, you should know how terrible it is for a god to possess a mysterious statement that is known to mortals. ”

"But now, Horus is gone, and I don't think that spell will be dangerous. ”

"You know more than one spell......"

"It's a very popular joke here. Magellan turned to face the countess, "The goddess Nephthys wanted to find a mortal to be her husband, so countless men gathered at the Crane Lake, and finally three men prevailed over the others, a handsome young man named Aka, whose face radiated a golden light, a strong man named Naru, burly and powerful, and a strange man named Yusu, who always walked upside down. ”

The goddess asked the three of them to stand together and asked the three of them the same question, that is, how to solve the troubles in the goddess's heart. Aka's answer was, shrinking his body, Naru's answer was, opening his arms, and Usu's answer was, habit. ”

The countess smiled helplessly: "What is the answer?"

"If these three answers were to be given in the dialect here, they would be, Sam Ahhoku, Jo Uryu, and Elut. ”

"Three mysterious words with great power, but they have been put into the mouths of mortals who will never have access to magic, and they have been made into stories...... I don't know if it's a comedy or a tragedy. ”

The countess opened her arms and began to chant the incantation.

"Sam Ahokul. ”

An indescribable thing gathered around her, as if something did not exist, more powerful than the essence, more elusive than the essence, like the darkness of the night sky.

Then the door opened.
