"When we resurrect Thoth, you will see even more dazzling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What would you like to have for lunch today?"
Eventually, the two enjoyed a sumptuous lunch that they hadn't seen for a long time, and Miss Betty, who had been missing for a long time, brought one of her prey, and Magellan finally got rid of the trouble of having no rice to cook.
"Osiris is more perverse than I thought, he is different from all the gods. Magellan chewed a piece of hard meat and spoke sullenly, "Are those memories alive by divine powers?"
"I don't know. The countess laughed, "What are you suspecting?"
"Osiris may be dead...... Or, rather, gone, he was the only god who did not try to leave a mark on Emanchet. ”
"It's admirable, but it's useless. ”
Magellan smiled: "Yes, the only thing we have to do is resurrect Thoth." ”
......
It was a hall so bright that Magellan hated it.
The glorious gods sat at the edge of the long table, they were bright enough in themselves, and now, Magellan did not know who had summoned the sun by magic.
"How stupid ......"
He didn't say it, but Isis smiled at him.
"Say it, Thoth. ”
Seth put his hands on the table with an impatient look.
"There's nothing to say, he wants to die, I can kill him, he wants to save the body, just give it to Anubis. ”
"Seth," Magellan didn't laugh, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart, he liked Seth, he was always considered the farthest god from wisdom, there was no reason, "Let Thoth finish first." ”
The baboon, facing Magellan at the other end of the table, nodded to him and began to speak.
"I want my body to be divided into seven parts and handed over to the gods present for safekeeping......"
His voice was convincing, with a unique magnetism, but despite this, there were gods who interrupted him without hesitation.
"Are you trying to imitate Osiris?"
The one who spoke was Horus.
"Do you think I don't know?"
Magellan said this in his heart, and his face did not show the slightest disgust for Horus, when in fact, he hated this god who always leaned himself towards the sun.
"I have no opinion. ”
Magellan imagined the anger that would lie beneath Horus's calm face, but he quickly gave up because he knew it couldn't be.
"We can't murder a god, it would make everyone guilty, and mortals will think the gods are dirty, Thoth, what do you want?"
Nephthys was no less beautiful woman than Isis, but her intelligence was not the type Magellan liked - of course, it was undeniably effective.
"He just wanted to go to the underworld, and I judged that he had to die before he could go, according to the Supreme Code. ”
Magellan enjoyed the subtle expressions on the faces of the gods after hearing these words, which he had expected completely, but still, very interestingly.
"You can kill yourself," the only mortal present finally spoke, "the gods cannot be murderers, otherwise mortals will fall into a panic." ”
"It's courageous. ”
Magellan propped up his face with his left arm, subtly expressing his displeasure at wasting time.
But it was just a gesture, and he enjoyed what was happening before his eyes, the gods had always thought that the pharaoh was just a mortal, when in fact many times they were the ones being taken advantage of.
"I can't. ”
Thoth's words were short, and they felt incomprehensible to mortals, but the gods knew what he was talking about, and Pharaoh gave Magellan a puzzled look, then chose silence.
"I'm sorry I can't explain it to you, my lord, for in fact, if a god chooses to commit suicide, he won't enter the underworld. ”
Unfortunately, Pharaoh could not have heard this phrase that Magellan had only said in his heart.
"If you do what you ask, then every god will become a murderer, Thoth, and you have not given a reason. ”
"You can have my wisdom. ”
Isis laughed.
Actually, she's not the only god who wants to laugh.
"We don't lack wisdom. ”
"I am the god of wisdom. ”
Thoth was a very unmajestic baboon, at least when he was among the gods, but in this moment, he was completely different.
The gods were silent, and the whole hall seemed to freeze, unbearably quiet.
Dwarf mortals climbed the wooden stairs to the table and pushed cups filled with water to the gods.
"Wonderful general, Thoth, the gods accustomed to murder have long forgotten this, especially after the frenzy of carving up the sun. ”
Magellan smiled mockingly, taking advantage of the moment when the cup covered his face as he picked it up and drank water.
"Is that reason enough?"
There was an added strength in Thoth's calm tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Isis, Seth, Pharaoh, and Horus spoke at the same time: "No......"
This coincidence caused the gods to shut their mouths in embarrassment.
"Enough. ”
Magellan thought so, and then spoke: "Since we are doomed to not get the result, let it be like a holy tribunal, and give a verdict." ”
The gods remained silent, no one spoke out against it, but no one agreed.
"It's just that no one wants to be considered a murderer, right?"
Magellan smiled and shook his hand.
"This vote is different from every previous one. ”
Two mortals carried seven square boxes painted red and white on the table.
"There's a stick in the box," Magellan said, opening the box in front of him and showing it to the gods, "if he agrees with Thoth, let the red end of the stick be aligned with the red part of the box, and if he disagrees, the other way around." ”
"Nobody can see what other people have decided, so it's absolutely fair. ”
The air began to flow again, even a little too active, making one wonder if something was going to happen.
Magellan glanced at the gods.
"If no one objects to ......"
"Of course there will be no objections. He thought.
"Let's get started. ”
The seven gods reached into the box, then took out their hands and pushed the box into the middle of the table.
"Thoth is the defendant, so we need a clerk. ”
In the past, in the court of the gods, it was always Thoth who played this role, and this time it was naturally different, but Magellan had already prepared.
A dwarf mortal climbed the table on a ladder and opened seven boxes there.
"It can't ......"
All the gods were saying this, but for some reason, each of them had a small voice.
"This can't be, it must be ......"
"But no one cheats here!"
