Chapter Forty-Seven: No Way
The camel could not perceive the divine power or essence that belonged to the gods, but for him, it was clear whether something was ancient or not just by looking at it. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info And now, the temple in front of him is exactly that kind of truly "ancient" thing.
But the camel's heart was full of hesitation.
This may be the trap of the countess.
The camel took one last look at the temple beneath the pit, and then began to dig honestly.
At the end of the day, he and the Count quietly disappeared.
......
Magellan looked at the room in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.
That's not the wrong path at least.
The room is not large, with a jar on the floor in the center, and the exit gate opposite the entrance.
"Looks like we've come to the right place this time. ”
There was a subtlety in the countess's tone, as if some suspicion had been confirmed to Magellan.
"What's next?"
"A boring journey, Anubis is a god as rigid as death, and his puzzles may be complex and ornate, but in the eyes of those who can really solve them, they are just a slightly winding road to light. ”
"Sounds pretty good," Magellan crouched down at the jar on the ground, "gorgeous and simple, thank goodness." ”
"Do you think it's a trip?"
"Isn't it?"
Magellan looked up and smiled, then pointed to the jar in front of him: "This, can you pick it up?"
"Don't touch anything that doesn't belong to you, if it's not necessary. ”
"What if we find a need in front of us?"
"Don't care about the time wasted on the journey, there is no end to this road and you have unlimited time to waste. ”
"So, if I pick up the jar now, what trouble will Anubis give me?"
"You won't want to know. ”
The countess smiled and walked forward, and Magellan shook his head and followed.
When they passed through an archway, they saw a square room, in the middle of which was like a tomb with a sarcophagus.
But this is by no means a tomb, because there are no frescoes on the walls.
"What do we need to do?"
There was no road in front of them.
"What should be in a tomb that meets Anubis standards?"
"Mummy......" Magellan looked at the empty walls and spun around, and then reluctantly swallowed the word "fresco", "and gold." ”
"So, there's nothing missing here. ”
Magellan lowered his head and opened the lid of the sarcophagus, revealing a standard mummy and standard funerary gold utensils, including a golden scarab amulet.
"There were supposed to be four jars here. ”
There were only three places the countess pointed.
"A jar with a falcon's head?"
Magellan began to get bored.
"So we should go back and get the jar?"
"There's no falcon head on that jar. ”
The countess uttered a spell.
Then darkness flowed through the room like flowing water.
It seems to be an illusion, and man's intellect can reach this conclusion without a doubt, but his intuition will still think that it is reality, like adding a deeper layer of darkness to the darkness, and that darkness will never cut off the sight of man.
Magellan looked at the place where the darkness had fallen, the frescoes on the walls appeared out of thin air, and the mummy in the tomb had disappeared, leaving only a jar and gold.
"In the eternal journey, only gold is the dependence of Emunchet, and if you lose your body, you will die, but the internal organs outside the heart are not so important. ”
The countess stood next to the sarcophagus and looked at the frowning Magellan with a satisfied smile: "Do you have any questions?"
"I have a lot of questions......"
......
"Could that be a trap?"
"A fake temple?"
The camel felt that he should not have laughed as easily, but he still wanted to laugh from the bottom of his heart when he saw the rare change in expression on the count's face.
"Is it impossible?"
"Horus is indeed not much left, but the temple is real. ”
"We're looking for Thoth's body, not the temple. ”
"You're sure the body didn't leave the temple because the magic couldn't find where the body was. The camel picked up the water cup and took a careful sip of water, "Can the remaining divine power in the temple really do this?"
"If that was a trap, what would the countess do?"
"I don't know," the camel put the back of his hand to his lips, his lower lip chapped and a slit bleeding, "but it must be troublesome." ”
"We have no time to waste," said the Count, whose face returned to its usual gloom, "even if it is a trap, we can only walk in." ”
It was just after noon, the sun was radiating its flames, the air was rising in the scorching sun, and there was silence all around.
The camel was sitting under a tree with the Count, and not far away was the site where the countess was digging the temple.
"It's time. ”
There were no excavation workers on the site, and at noon here, such heavy work would have caused a man to die silently and suddenly, but there was still a patrol guard on the lookout for uninvited guests.
But there are limits to human beings.
In this hot and trance-like afternoon, the patrolman's sight is finally no longer without dead ends.
"Set......
With a soft incantation, a cloud of wind and sand surrounded the two of them.
Under the cover of magic, they entered the gates of the temple.
Buried in the temple, the cool water vapor completely cut off from the outside, the camels stood in the muddy muddy water and walked to the depths.
"Why are they digging up there?"
"You don't think that's a necessary show?"
The wind and sand around the Count gradually dissipated, and the dust fell, staining his eyebrows gray.
But it is also possible that the countess did not find Thoth's body. ”
The answer is below. ”
The Count walked forward, the footsteps of the two echoing through the dark cavern, accompanied by the sound of muddy water being trampled far away.
In front of them was the interior of the temple, the empty and tall space was clogged with dirt, and only a narrow passage had been dug out leading to the gate, and the unknown darkness was ahead.
The two of them went down a ramp, then turned a corner, and walked forward for an unknown amount of time, finally reaching the finish line.
"There's no road ahead. ”
The camels held their lanterns aloft and illuminated the dirt wall in front of them, which was the end of the excavated passage, and what they were looking for was not here.
"Did we miss something?"
"Nope. ”
Along the way, not only did they not see what was hidden in the temple, they did not even see the rock on which the temple was built, and the passage in the dirt was so narrow that they could not be sure through several rooms in many cases.
