Chapter 62: Rest
Magellan cleaved the miracle with a sword, and then raised his head. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The jewels on the top of the cave are still there, and the stars are shining.
"Is that magic?"
"What did you just do?"
The countess ignored Magellan's question.
"Newly learned tricks that can deal with more troublesome things like magic. ”
"You're behind the door......"
"Forgot. ”
Magellan smiled and put away his sword and turned to face the countess.
"It was a river, and I was drifting on it in a reed boat, trying to paddle upstream, and after a long, long time, I came back. ”
"You forgot some important details. ”
The countess looked at the strange Magellan and fell into deep thought.
"Sorry, I don't remember at all. ”
"There's the underworld. ”
"There shouldn't be a place like that in this world. ”
"Every night, when the sun falls from the desert to the west into the underworld, he will row a reed boat, drift on the endless river Styx, go through countless tribulations, with the help of the gods, defeat the enemies of the gods, and finally return from the east and rise to the sky. That river has no end, endlessly washing over the soul and taking away your memories. ”
"I'm not the sun. ”
"So you didn't get out of there on your own. ”
Magellan shook his head helplessly: "I know that Anubis and his followers call it the underworld, it's just ......"
"How do you know?"
The countess looked at the smile on Magellan's face and felt that he was completely different.
"When I was there, I suddenly felt like that. ”
"I've never heard of anything like that......"
"Traps?"
"No ......"
The countess turned to face the huge fresco and shook her head.
"Just give it a try. ”
Magellan shook his head.
"Huh?"
The countess turned to look at him.
"We need to rest. ”
Helen smiled and shook her head.
"We don't have a lot of time. ”
"If what I see is an illusion, the time wasted on the break is insignificant, and if what I see is the truth, then the time after the break is still more than enough. ”
Magellan said as he put the oil lamp on the ground, put his hands on the flame and paused for a moment, and when he took it away, the flame rose and rose like a bonfire.
Then he took the key of the tongue from his bosom.
The countess looked at him strangely, and Magellan followed the floating silver spoon into the darkness with a blind eye.
Finally, exhaustion still appeared.
Helen hadn't felt anything like this in a long time, she would be tired and need to sleep, but rarely would she want to stop everything she was doing now, just stop and do nothing.
It was because of the stress and overuse of her brain, she had no idea what an amazing miracle she had just accomplished, whether it was the Giant of Light, the magic bomb, or that subtle misdirection, it was enough magic to be called a miracle, and that only took a very short time.
The warmth of the flame had never been so comfortable as it was now, and she waved her hand and sat down on a sofa that appeared out of thin air, and sighed pleasantly.
......
"I need a break. ”
The Count hoped that the camel would understand what he meant, and if the Countess's men found him now, he would be greeted only by endless trouble.
"I knew there was a place where it was safe. ”
There were already patrolmen coming towards the river, and it was impossible not to see the Count's desperate move, and the reduced version of the Spear of Judgment produced a far greater radiance than the full version, and it was hard to ignore.
The two of them walked up the river, and the camel followed the Count, but at last he could not hold back the doubts in his heart.
"Magellan is back?"
This sentence almost blurted out, and the camel had already concluded in his heart, but after opening his mouth, he couldn't help but ask this question.
"Yes. ”
The Count's weakness could no longer be concealed, his voice trembled as he spoke, the miracle had almost exhausted all his strength, and his spirit was already on the verge of collapse.
"What just happened?"
"A trap. ”
The Count said a rare word of nonsense, and the camel rarely ignored the past.
"The Countess pinned my position with the Spear of Judgment and struck with the magic she had prepared. And the Spear of Judgment missed its target, which should have been misguided. ”
"Misleading?"
"Magic, the Spear of Judgment was the magic that the Countess used to save Magellan, and she used this to deflect the Spear of Judgment from its target, presumably by hitting another magic. ”
The camel wanted to say something, but opened its mouth but didn't say a word.
He knew exactly what was going on, but he couldn't help but want to ask something.
Magellan is back.
The camel knew what that meant, but he didn't think he knew.
......
Magellan returned, with a large white root of the plant, and a fish.
The countess did not ask him where he had found it, but she was half-lying on the couch and watched Magellan put the oil lamp as a stove and put it with a rhizome and fish.
"What do you remember?"
"Knowledge about Anubis, and, the underworld. ”
"Osiris?"
"I know where he is. ”
The countess gave up thinking, shook her head, and closed her eyes.
The smell of food is accompanied by water vapor in the air, the plants on the flame give off a unique fragrance, and the smell of fish gradually intensifies.
"Meow. ”
Miss Betty emerges from the darkness, as if she belonged to the darkness in the first place.
The kitten jumped lightly on Magellan's shoulder, staring at the grilled fish, but the fear of the flames never turned the desire into action.
"Long time no see......"
"Meow ......"
Miss Betty turned a blind eye to Magellan, and she only had grilled fish in her eyes.
"Please be patient......"
......
"What's next?"
The camel sat at the table, looking at the recovered Earl, frowning.
"We don't have time, one last try, and if it fails, get out of here. ”
"Won't the Countess fall into a trap?"
The Count was silent for a long time, and the camel looked at him like that, and never spoke.
"Not anymore. ”
The camel was eager to speak his mind to refute, he knew that Anubis's puzzle was anything but simple, that there was only one right path, but that there were countless wrong forks.
But in the end the camel just nodded and didn't say anything more.
"We'll leave here and go to the Great Pyramids. ”
The camel looked at the Count in astonishment, and the latter had only the usual blank expression on his face.
"Can you open that door?"
"I've found the magic to create sunlight, and instead of waiting for the right time, we'll get the god's body before the countess returns, and leave. ”
The camel told himself in his heart that he should be happy by now.
