Section 17: An Old Friend
Ten plagues.
It's also interesting to say, the first two villains of the legend of gods and ghosts, the immortal sacrifice Immorton, his resurrection ritual is the Ten Calamities.
He had to devour the flesh of the sacrificers and complete the Ten Plagues of Cairo before he could gain the vast amount of mana promised in the curse. Before that, he was just a mortal warlock who knew how to do witchcraft.
This would not be a coincidence, and the intelligence secrets inside may have been in Chu Xuan's hands.
Maybe.
After bidding farewell to Zheng Zha, Jiang Yu walked out of the capital of Egypt, Cairo, which would not be established by the Arabs until the 10th century AD. And although it is now actually the twentieth century, this does not prevent history from operating according to the logic of the classical period.
The city is called Pell, and it is not far from Cairo, in short, in the richest delta of the Nile. The resources and civilizations of this era converged here, and just a few kilometers from the city, there was a vast expanse of wilderness and desolation.
For Jiang Yu, there is no difference between kilometers and meters.
Hundreds of kilometers also only require a few steps.
As long as he doesn't leave northern Africa, he doesn't leave the Nile Valley, then he stays pretty much the same anywhere. The earth is so closely connected to him here that he can return to Peer at any time, no matter what happens on Mount Sinai.
The bloodshed did not survive.
As Jiang Yu walked past the fleeing Hebrew envoys, he heard Moses and Aaron taking a breath in their hideout, and then discussed the next step - they believed that the water of the Nile was purified because they had not struck the rod into the water the day after Pharaoh had refused, as Ahweh had instructed, so they would have a second action tomorrow.
Pharaoh would try to stop their movements.
Even with the power of the gods, Pharaoh sent his guards to search the city for the two escapees, and had the soldiers guard the various points of the Nile. He wanted to stop the Ten Calamities from working, but realistically, it was completely impossible.
After all, the Nile is too long.
The river stretched so long that it ran through the entire Egyptian civilization, and it was possible to strike the water with a rod at any point - Moses' purpose would have been achieved no matter what, and the only reincarnation who could stop them from doing so had no intention of interfering immediately.
- Tomorrow, let Cheng Xiao try it first. If it fails, I'll make up for it.
- This is a necessary temptation, and after obtaining the information, Chu Xuan's strategy will be executed.
- After all, this was the step that Chu Xuan had planned.
Chu Xuan didn't know where he had gone—Jiang Yu couldn't find him, but he should still be in Egypt. Maybe he's a guest in the palace of a god or archaeology, or maybe he's doing both.
And Jiang Yu actually intends to do the same.
And the place he was going was in northern Africa, far from the Nile Delta, where there was always a place of abundance along the Mediterranean. And where he finally arrived, he was ...... Or in the future, it is only one step away from becoming the protagonist of the Western world.
Carthage - this is the name that the city of this land will have in the coming years. It was once just one step away from replacing Rome as the overlord of continental civilization. And before it became Carthage. The people who make it up, call themselves Phoenician.
Phoenicia was Canaanite, and after the Hebrews seized the land of the Canaanites, a part of the Phoenicians crossed the Mediterranean Sea and re-established themselves in the place where Carthage was located. Their kingdom is often recorded in the history of the Hebrews, and they were undoubtedly foreign visitors to the land of Africa.
Carthage should be the only civilization involved in the age of mythology among the foreigners who prospered in Africa. Even if the land has not yet been developed by outsiders, a concept that is resilient enough should be rooted in destiny.
"Do you say yes, god of the Gentiles, lord of war and sandstorms, Seth."
Jiang Yu's feet stepped on the fertile earth, and he greeted the world itself—Horus had hinted that not all the gods had died in his purge, and that Seth, a god with a variety of images, would be among them, judging by the reincarnation.
No, it's just that Seth and Horus have never dealt with each other. If Horus wants to leave a secret hand that can defeat him, then his longest-standing enemy must be among the candidates.
Moreover, the bad relationship between Seth and the reincarnation is enough for the main god who adjusts the time of the reincarnation's arrival to take this variable into consideration.
"I know you're here." Jiang Yu said, his voice accompanied by his vibration - his will was resonating with the entire heaven and earth, and all the hidden divine kingdoms hidden in the spatial fault would be rejected by the world because of his will.
The hiders clearly don't like that.
A storm rolled up in the desert in the distance, and the dark pillar of wind swirled sharply in the direction where Jiang Yu was. Jiang Yu glanced in the direction of the wind pillar, and the ground under his feet squirmed like a living thing, and then, like a wall.
The earth pushes forward like a wall and grows like a forest. In an instant, it turned into a majestic mountain that grew and stretched, and all the dark pillars of wind were firmly blocked by the barrier of the mountain!
The dirt blocks the sand.
The earth and the storm bite at each other.
The clash of wills between the gods was accompanied by continuous changes in the celestial terrain, and Jiang Yu determined Seth's weakness in this way.
It seems that it paid a huge price in fleeing the killing of Horus.
But the possibility that it deliberately shows weakness and hides clumsiness is not very small.
Boiling rocks and storms collide and mingle with each other. Soon, the fragile surface of the earth was torn apart, and the boiling magma that inhabited the earth's crust erupted!
'Boom——!! 'A volcano.
'Boom Boom——!!! 'A row of volcanoes.
The lava erupted with a mixture of sulfur and mist, and the storm was kept at bay, but it was given the utensils to rely on. And in the next moment, in the boiling volcanic fog, the huge face of the god appeared!
"Outsiders." The majesty of God causes the trees to burn and the waters to retreat. "What do you want?"
Its momentum was completely useless to Jiang Yu.
"The movement is so big, aren't you afraid that there will be action on the side of Mount Sinai?" The captain of the Middle-Continent team spoke softly.
And the next moment, the storm stopped. The volcano calmed, the lava cooled, and the boiling clouds were pressed into the leylines.
A vague human figure made of yellow sand appeared in Jiang Yu's field of vision. Its size and height were the same as Jiang Yu's body shape at the moment.
This may be regarded as a kind of respect.
"You and I have a common enemy." Its gaze swept over Jiang Yu's body. "The gods of the East, who have hidden their heads and tails for so many years, have finally revealed their true colors? You prophesied this moment from the beginning? ”
It's normal.
It seems that Seth is actually indigenous.
As a native deity, it probably can't understand how a group of mortals can reach the height of a god in a year or two. And Jiang Yu will not correct it, because intelligence is a weight, and there is no need to send it around.
"There are common enemies, but they are not necessarily friends." And Jiang Yu holds a grudge.
“…… Just for that little thing? "It was puzzled for a moment, but immediately found its own reason." Yes, you hate me for disrupting your setup? But you don't know much about Horus, and even if there is no conflict between you and me, it is difficult to avoid this situation. ”
Its temper seemed surprisingly good.
Clearly, it is trying to avoid conflict between the gods.
Maybe it's because it doesn't want to fight Jiang Yuzhen here, or maybe it's because it's really weak and in dire need of help.
So......
This bamboo pole given for white is really not used in vain.
"Perhaps." Jiang Yu raised his chin slightly.
"But the damage you have caused us needs to be compensated."
"And after that, it's possible for us to talk about other things."
