The camels watched the quicksand swell, and the eyes of the silent sand thieves around them flashed with unconcealable excitement, and even the only camel that noticed it did not know. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the explorer knew that something must have happened, and that sentence was not without meaning, but that his magic advisor was using a spell to ask the Sandstorm Lord for the power to manipulate the sand.

The camel's gaze swept over his men, then back to the sand lizard.

The little earthy creature spun uneasily around the flowing sand, raising one leg as if it was about to rush out, but in the end it stayed where it was, as the camel had hoped.

Eventually, there was a bulge in the sand, and then something parted the sand and was revealed.

It was an indescribable object, a large mass of the corpse of an unknown beast, with dark brown hair, strangely colored bones and unrecognizable internal organs, and a cross-section covered in dark blood, which looked like a dark red color after the blood had clotted.

The Sand Thieves lowered their heads to soothe their restless mounts, but they themselves were no calmer than the camels, they had imagined what this ancient treasure of immeasurable value would look like, but even the wildest imagination could not compare to the real thing in front of them.

The camel glanced at the circle of heavily armed men, and with a calm gaze he asserted his absolute authority, and then threw out the rope ring.

The sand thieves lined up, took the rope from the camels, and watched unsurprisingly as the other end of the rope was attached to the corpse.

The group of men stepped back with a loud shout, and the strength of the camels came together to pull the giant in the quicksand towards safety.

The sand lizard flew through the quicksand and scurried into the arms of the camel as it approached the magic advisor.

In the empty desert, the shouts of the sand thieves drowned out his whispers.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Magic. ”

"I know it's magic, what the hell?"

The man under the black robe was so shaky that he had to give his arm to the camel so that he did not fall on the sand.

"Curse. ”

"Didn't you say that no one could stand up to Thoth's power?

"You may not know who we are against. ”

"I know," the camel looked impatiently at the sand thieves who were pulling half of Thoth's torso out of the quicksand, "Magellan is troublesome, but he knows nothing about magic. ”

"You don't take that countess seriously at all......" the man under the black robe let out a voice that did not know whether it was a cold snort or a wry smile, which to the camel sounded more like a groan of pain, "although she could have let you die quietly." ”

"She, who is she?"

"Geniuses, masters, omniscient dangerous people, femme fatales, Satan. ”

"She cursed you. The camel finally understood what was happening before him, "You have no resistance, and even the help of Thoth's power will not help?"

"Usually few people have the opportunity to stand up to a Satan, the supreme of demons, but I am not defenseless. ”

The camel felt that the man in front of him was about to be crushed.

"You'd better take a break. ”

"If you think it's necessary. ”

......

The Nile became clear at an alarming rate, and the fish Magellan was hoisted with were very different from when he first set off.

That's because they were heading upstream at a terrifying pace, and the countess's collection was surprisingly powerful, but Magellan was no stranger.

"Anubis, he seems to be a god who doesn't like to cause obstacles outside the temple, and I hope we'll get into a little less trouble this time. ”

Magellan carefully sprinkled the trolls with fine salt and placed them in front of Miss Betty.

"I don't think there's anything to worry about at that. ”

"I just...... Suddenly there was a bad premonition. ”

"Rest assured, at least for the next few days, Camel won't be able to walk into the temple with his magic advisor and make trouble. ”

"No...... It just occurred to me that while we were heading into the desert in search of the Lord of the Sandstorm, the camels had just had time to raid a temple. ”

"Yes, you used to say that you think that then the camels chose Anubis. ”

"Anubis is always the best choice, the god is indifferent to everything in the world, he will almost give him Thoth's right arm after the camel asks for it, and he will tell the man where Osiris is, if the camel is smarter. ”

"And that friend of yours has a papal theologian next to him, so he never shows stupidity. ”

The countess smiled and put down her knife and fork and picked up the crystal cup at hand.

"So you think that now that the camel has taken half of the torso in Osiris's hands, we will have nothing to gain in the temple of Anubis?"

"I don't know. ”

"The camel will spend a lot of time in the temple of Horus, enough for us to catch up with him. ”

"But you don't look good. ”

The countess smiled, but soon she put away her smile because of the expression on Magellan's face.

"Meow. ”

Miss Betty looked up, at the countess, and then at Magellan.

"I want to ......"

The countess took a pearl from her right ear, looked at the shadow on it, and put it in the cup.

"What's that?"

Magellan watched as the soft light on the pearl faded in the clear water, and then an ominous black gushed out, blackening the entire cup like ink.

"Something unnatural, no doubt. ”

"Magic?"

"Curse. ”

The countess smiled and put her hand on the glass, and the black faded from the crystal, leaving only a glass of black water.

"It's a shame...... It was given to me by a friend. ”

"You don't look that ...... right now Out of sorts. ”

The countess stood up with a smile and poured the black water from her cup into the Nile.

"You're wrong. ”

"Meow. ”

Miss Betty seemed to give up trying to understand what was going on between the two, and she lowered her head and continued to deal with her favorite fish tart.

......

Below a waterfall, the countess stopped the sailboat.

"Here is a series of waterfalls, one of which is said to be followed by a cave leading to the underworld, where the source of the Nile is, and the river that flows through the entire underworld comes here again, forming one of the great cycles that support the entire universe. ”

Magellan said as he looked up at the cliffs, the middle of the boulder-towering canyon where the river flowed down to the end of the world.

"There's no road here. ”

"Which waterfall do you think the temple of Anubis will be behind it?"

"I don't know. Magellan shook his head, "Actually, the source of the Nile is certainly not in the underworld. ”
