Chapter 316: The Priest Returns
In the dark and oppressive space of the ancient underground mausoleum, in order to reduce the burden of load-bearing, the slightly sloping roof of the chamber is carved with various ancient Egyptian motifs. Under the strong sense of historical vicissitudes, it is a damp and musty smell that is difficult to erase.
A group of sturdy men stood in front of a wide stone altar, the leader holding a thick and simple black scripture book in his hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Sun, Taiyin, Yellow Springs and Nine Lands...... Rebirth! Rebirth! Be born again! ”
"Whoa......
The surrounding area of the altar was overcast and windy, and wisps of black mist surrounded the area like a pond. In the churning mist, countless shadows of human figures appeared, men, women, and children, some with hideous expressions, some crying, and some laughing.
Eventually, the mist converged towards the center of the altar and turned into a mummy wrapped in a sparse shroud, and the corpse of the scarab scarab scattered through the cracks in the shroud, and the smell of rancid mildew spread, enveloping the surroundings.
'Immorton! The mummy had just become more powerful when a sun pattern appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and then a loud and old voice sounded in his brain.
'Great pull! What are your instructions? As the former high priest of Anubis, Immorton knew better than anyone else the horror of the sun god, and he showed his humility very deferentially.
'Go and kill the Scorpion King, cut off all Anubis from earth, and in return I will allow you to be my priest after I have re-entered the world, and I will allow you to resurrect your love!' ’
'Thank you for your kindness! Immorton threw himself to the ground, then stood up and looked at the stout, staring blank eyes of the stout men around him.
Walking up to a person who barely opened his mouth and inhaled gently, a layer of blood-colored mist visible to the naked eye appeared on the man's body. And as the mist was absorbed by Immorton, the man's body began to dry up rapidly, and his skin was like the land that had been exposed to the sun for dozens of days.
After all the sturdy men standing around him had turned into dried corpses, Immorton's body was fully recovered, and he became a handsome man in his early thirties, with strong muscles and a radiant complexion, and he must be the most attractive group to walk on the road.
However, around him, there was a black mist, and hideous and terrifying faces were twisting and wriggling in the black mist, destroying his overall charm and making everyone who saw him feel as if they were being targeted by a cobra.
At the same time as Immorton's resurrection, on the other side of the earth, in a luxurious house in England, a little boy was curiously playing with various ornaments that his uncle had brought back from abroad, when suddenly his eyes were attracted by a gold bracelet.
The bracelet is very interesting, the surface is carved with a hideous scorpion, the workmanship is very rough, and there is a trace of delicacy in the simplicity, both form and spirit, full of strange beauty.
The boy's hand picked up the bracelet uncontrollably and brought it to his wrist, and a faint red light appeared in the scorpion eyes on the bracelet, and the next second the boy was unconscious.
The parents of the boy who heard the sound exclaimed in surprise when they saw the unconscious child.
"Alex! Alex ......"
O'Connor looked at his unconscious son and immediately held him in his arms, but Aveline next to her quickly realized that something was wrong, and she tried to remove the bracelet from Alex's wrist.
But the bracelet seemed to have taken root, and the inner diameter of the bracelet was slightly larger than the boy's palm, but no matter how hard Aveline tried, she could not remove it.
"My dear! ...... you," O'Connor looked at his wife with some curiosity.
"Can't you see? Alex: This is cursed by this bracelet! Aveline spoke angrily as she tried to remove the bracelet.
Over the years, Aveline had always portrayed herself as a lady who loved to write, but her deep desire for adventure still made her tempted to collect all kinds of supernatural and magical spirits.
As the reincarnation of the ancient Egyptian princess, Aveline even lost her body with the blood of the god Ra, as well as the best spell-casting items "The Golden Sutra of the Sun" and "The Black Sutra of the Dead".
But the little thing left in her soul came from Ra's spirituality, and with all these years of study, she still had a little bit of ability, and she could see that the reason for her son's coma was the bracelet.
O'Connor, who heard his wife's answer, also tried to remove the bracelet from Alex's wrist, but no matter what method they used, they could not remove it from his son's wrist.
Just when the two of them were at a loss, the Guardians of Immorton, the ancient high priest of Anubis, who had buried them in the past, came to the door.
The stout man with a large beard with lush body hair first exchanged a few words with O'Connor and Aveline, and then, seeing Alex's state, exclaimed Anubis' bracelet.
Immediately, the bearded man woke Alex up and told the family of three that if they could not find the Scorpion King within seven days, Alex would be taken away by Anubis.
Faced with such a threat, Bearded was able to pull O'Connor, Aveline, and their child Alex into the party to bury the Scorpion King.
However, when the group returned to Egypt, they met Immorton, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Long time no see, two!" Immorton, who was holding the "Black Book of the Dead", looked at the two familiar people in front of him, and looked at Alex again and smiled: "This is your child?" Oh! What a lovely boy, come, come to my uncle's side, let me take a good look at you! ”
Facing Immorton with the blessing of the Black Book of the Dead, Alex, a kid who has no ability to resist at all, O'Connor and others want to save him. But Immorton just glanced at the ground under their feet, and the originally flat ground suddenly turned into quicksand, and this layer of quicksand was still centered on their foothold, rotating in a whirlpool, and several people immediately fell into it.
"Damn! Let him go! O'Connor roared, and could only watch his beloved son fall into the hands of his enemies.
"Come and raise your hand and let my uncle show me!"
Immorton's demagogic words made Alex naturally raise his arm, and the gold bracelet carved with a simple scorpion was exposed in Immorton's hand.
"Sure enough! This thing is in your hands, come! Come with me! With that, Immorton reached out and grabbed Alex.
"O lotus flower of the Divine Domain! Purify the filth here! A sigh sounded, and a stone tablet appeared in front of Immorton and Alex, and then a woman wearing a water lily accessory appeared in front of them.
"As a priest of the god of games, why are you intervening in our feud?" Immorton looked at the god operator who came from not far away, revealing a hint of jealousy.
After being reborn, he also met with the god operator, and it was clear that this guy was the messenger of the god of the game at all, and he could deal with all kinds of emergencies with a monster elf summoning technique, especially the water lily elf in front of him, which naturally restrained him.
"This is a battle about the future of Egypt, and as a dependant of the god of the game, how can I not participate in it?" The god operator smiled and raised his hand, and another stone slab appeared, flying out two monsters to stop the mummy summoned by Immorton.
The two were entangled for a while, and in the end, Immorton still failed to take advantage of the divine operator and left angrily.
O'Connor and Aveline hurriedly stepped forward, hugged their child, and watched carefully for a while before they came to the god operator and thanked him.
After the god operator responded with a smile, he heard the bearded man speak again: "Dare to ask the priest of the god of games, what is the purpose of this place?" ”
Seeing the jealousy of the bearded man, the god operator still smiled and said: "The battle of the Scorpion King is related to the future of the whole of Egypt, as a dependant of one of the few Egyptian gods and gods who still exist now, how can I not come?" ”
"The god of games? This name seems rare! As a former archaeologist, Aveline hesitated for a moment, a little tactful and a little curious, to ask the god operator about Yuan Qingwei's deeds.
In this regard, the god operator did not hide too much, and bluntly said that the god of the game is not a native god of the country, and it has not been circulated for a long time, so there is not much record, but he also made it clear that the god of the game is a righteous god.
"If you don't believe me, ask the believers of the sun god around you."
Although the bearded man who was named was unhappy, as a believer in the sun god, he could indeed feel the divine power of the god operator that belonged to the Egyptian gods, that is, nodding.
With the guarantee of the beard, the god operator also successfully joined Aveline's party.
