Section 21: Past Lives...... phantom
The answer is no.
The process of returning to Hamna Tower was smooth and nothing unusual happened. There was no powerful superstorm, no interception by the Blood Army, and no sudden sucance of an extraterrestrial lifeform, and it happened to crash headlong into the trajectory of a large air and space fighter.
In short, there is no - anyway, the vast majority of external interference forces in the thirties of the twentieth century cannot touch 10,000 meters above the surface.
The reincarnators descended from the sky above the Hamna Tower, after greeting the grave watchman. He walked easily into the central temple of the Tower of Hamna, where the altar of resurrection was placed.
The Golden Sutra of the Sun in Xia's hand silently appeared in Jiang Yu's hand, and when Jiang Yu's fingers touched the edge of the resurrection altar, he still did not hear the announcement from the main god.
It can't be used.
Zheng Zhe, who was holding the Black Sutra of the Undead, also put his hand on the resurrection altar in the same way, and then his eyes only blinked innocently.
"Is this some kind of ritual?" Obviously, there was no sound in his ears either.
“…… Just a thought. I mentioned it earlier. Jiang Yu stretched out his hand and threw the Sun Golden Sutra over. Now, has anything changed? ”
"Still not ......"
"Then we'll swap." The Undead Black Sutra was thrown over by Zheng Zha, and the result was exactly the same. After that, the two tried all kinds of new book-holding combinations, and even dragged Zhan Lan over to replace her with the book, but nothing changed.
As a result, it doesn't work.
There was no movement at the resurrection altar, and Evelyn and the others in the distance looked at the inexplicable operation of the reincarnations, and they wanted to interject a little, and they looked like they were afraid that this group of people was getting nervous.
And after about five minutes of time loss, Jiang Yu finally gave up the idea of continuing to try.
"Probably there are still some conditions lacking." Jiang Yu finally came to a helpless conclusion, and then returned the Sun Golden Sutra to Xia. "It's also possible that I guessed wrong. Immorton was able to resurrect Ansuna here with the Black Book of the Dead. But we ...... I'm afraid not to be eligible. ”
- There should be an important condition missing...... Yes, in the original world line. There are only a few people who know about the Altar of Resurrection and use it explicitly. Gan Tian, the clone Zheng Zha, Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, and the one from the Nanyanzhou team...... And no matter who they are, the reincarnation squad they are in is the reincarnation squad where the captain appears.
- Do you need to activate the resurrection function when the team has activated the captain's permissions...... Isn't Zhang Jie counted?
Jiang Yu's gaze was subconsciously biased towards Zhang Jie, who was turning his head to look at the sky at forty-five degrees with an innocent face, looking like he wanted to whistle but couldn't.
This kind of thing can't be done now, and it doesn't need to. ’
Zhang Jie didn't speak, and there was no sound in the psychic link. However, in the bottom of Jiang Yu's heart, an answer emerged.
The third-order simulation of the gene lock was automatically turned on again. Jiang Yu frowned, this time when the autonomous simulation was generated, he actually vaguely sensed some subtle changes in his brain and mind. It's as if he could take the initiative to reproduce it with a little more effort......
That feeling quickly faded away.
At the same time, Evelyn, who had witnessed the strange operation of the reincarnators, finally couldn't help but speak.
"That...... Is it possible. This altar requires a mantra to work? ”
……………………
The answer is still no.
Even if Jiang Yu held the Golden Sutra of the Sun and recited the incantation of the resurrected dead to the resurrection altar. The altar has not changed in any way, and the dead Immorton will not be reshaped by Horus's spells.
It's a pity, but it's not a big problem. The Middle-Continent team has not lost even one main player or even a second-tier player at present. The deaths are basically worthless newcomers, and one Qi Tengyi shows a little potential. And if the resurrection altar is really successfully activated, then Jiang Yu will probably resurrect Qi Tengyi without loss after returning to the main god space. But since it can't be done...... That doesn't make a big difference.
- The main god will always put in a member with spellcaster potential.
- Moreover, Xia and Zheng Zha's two part-time jobs may not be able to bear the current demand for spellcasting.
- Wait until the Resurrection Altar can be used...... And then there is no suitable caster. Let's just think about resurrecting Qi Teng.
The thought turned.
Evelyn was already apologizing for her recklessness, or for the failure of the reincarnators—she understood ancient Egyptian, and she knew that the reincarnators had died in the battle eight years earlier. Instead, it takes a little time for the reincarnators to deal with her apology, at least to keep their own favoritism stable.
Fortunately, the person in charge of dealing with her is Zheng Zha, and Jiang Yu doesn't need to have a headache. And after these boring minutes were consumed again, the link that belonged to her and their family finally came.
Evelyn's suggestion was actually correct, and if you wanted to use the altar, you had to recite a mantra.
And the Altar of Resurrection is indeed not only capable of resurrecting the ancient dead. Rather, it can do more—just like the memories that Immorton used to awaken Ansuna's reincarnation in the second episode that was supposed to take place—when the incantation on the Black Book of the Dead is recited, the eyes of the reincarnators and Evelyn's family are filled with an immersive vision.
They saw Evelyn, the princess of Egypt.
Evelyn, and Ansuna. O'Connor, the chief of the guard who accompanied Pharaoh - and when the appearance of the high priest Immorton appeared in the illusion thousands of years ago, Evelyn even subconsciously let out a soft shout.
This doesn't matter - apparitions from past lives don't react to actions in this life. Evelyn just covered her mouth in embarrassment. And the old story continues.
They saw a sword fight between Evelyn and Ansuna—the winner became Pharaoh's princess, and the loser became the guardian of the relics—all of which should have been reversed, but perhaps because Pharaoh favored his daughter too much and made a decision arbitrarily.
They saw Immorton's rebellion, who killed Pharaoh because of his affair with Ansuna. But it was glimpsed by Evelyn, and the pharaoh's guards immediately arrived at the call of the princess - Ansuna died at the hands of O'Connor in her previous life. However, Immorton didn't notice him at all.
They saw Immorton fleeing, and the princess and the guards who had finally tracked down the rebellious high priest in Hamnata, thousands of years earlier. Immorton, who had not been given a huge amount of mana by the Anubis curse, was quickly defeated by the guards and executed along with his minions.
The assassination of Pharaoh came to an end. However, the guardian of the relics could not have become the new pharaoh, much less have been married to a new pharaoh chosen from the Holy Family—she left the palace and went with her servants to continue her duties. On the way, she met the chief of the guard who was banished from the dynasty's territory because of the assassination of the old pharaoh, who was considered derelict by the new pharaoh.
So, the princess, who is no longer favored, leaves with the princess who is no longer trusted—they go to a remote land that is secret and strange. A secret underground temple was built there, and holy relics were enshrined there—and before they knew it, they had developed feelings for each other. However, thousands of years ago, the Egyptians did not give up their mission because of love.
The princess and the chief of the guard, after the completion of the underground temple, fulfilled their duty - the duty of guarding secrets. And the best way to keep a secret completely, to bury a dangerous treasure in the dust, is to hide it in a hidden place, and then let all those who know die.
So the underground temple was sealed, and the servants who built it took the first step. The princess and the chief of the guard each drank the poisonous wine. And when the effect of the drug took effect, their hands were finally tightly clasped together, no longer separated.
The story is finally over.
When the illusion vanished, the reincarnators turned their gaze. found that these two couples in their previous lives had already hugged each other tightly, obviously infected with a lot of emotions in their previous lives.
"Hey, I'm sorry - we're going to miss you for a moment. Can you give us a moment? O'Connor picked up his wife and walked to the side of the small hall. Their lovely unlucky child was thrown to the same place as if abandoned by the world, and then helplessly ran out of the temple to kick the sand to vent his feelings.
Parents are true love, children are accidents. Although this kind of thing is rare, there is no way to encounter it. Fortunately, this little imp is precocious enough, and he won't have any problems.
So the protagonists of the plot withdrew.
The reincarnators, on the other hand, glanced at each other.
"The location has been found." Zhan Lan pressed his forehead. "South of the Nile Delta, near the ancient city of Memphis, beneath a wasteland. Well, there seem to be a lot of scorpions as big as people living inside, as well as a lot of traps, mummified soldiers...... I can't see the core location, but just like the original plot, there is a closed dark valve directly connected to the Nile River in the secret temple. ”
"It seems that the last step of the task will be easier than expected." Zheng Zhe nodded. "The only difficulty is to escort those two over...... They don't seem to be included in the mission. Maybe we can put him in the grave keeper? ”
"Sound strategy." Chu Xuan nodded. "I'll prepare some props for the unexpected."
"Sounds good...... Jiang Yu, what do you think? Jiang Yu? ”
Zheng Zhe tilted his head, and he did not get a response.
And the next moment, he saw Jiang Yu's fingertips on the edge of the resurrection altar - no, not 'Zheng', but before, when Zheng Zhe recited the incantation to spy on his previous life, his fingers inadvertently touched the boundary of the altar!
His eyes were blank, and his mind was empty.
And in the depths of his heart, which the reincarnators could not reach, he saw a vast and endless sea.
The dark sea, the infinite sea.
And he was immersed in the bottom of the abyss.
