Chapter 137: The Sunken Temple
The group swam in the water, the bubble head spell greatly extending their time in the water, and Nito led the way as he recognized it.
The ruins of the ancient city of Canopis are huge, but most of them have been buried in the mud. They walked above the silt and finally came to a stone slab.
"Loose and energetic!"
Nito drew his wand and pointed it at the slate, and the tip of the wand spewed a stream of hot water, and the slab opened directly, revealing the hole underneath.
Nito jumped down without hesitation, and Kano hurried to follow.
Underneath the entrance to the cave is a downward tunnel, and there is not a single drop of water in it.
"Waterproof magic that's still in operation after all these years?" Kano asked after drying himself.
"Yes, this is the lookout of the Temple of Serapis, and you can go down and enter the inside of the temple."
"You Egyptians, will you set up waterproof magic in the passage of the temple vantage point?" The more Kano tasted, the more he felt that something was wrong, but Nito ignored him.
Soon several other people also entered the corridor, and it seemed that it was not the first time they had come. They followed the path that had been weathered for thousands of years all the way down to the temple square.
It was still protected by magic, and tens of thousands of tons of silt and sea water hung in the air, not crushing the shield.
Kano was tempted to ask where the energy for the temple's magic came from, but he probably wouldn't tell him.
At the far front of the square are two sphinxes, flanked by a large number of jeweled coffins.
Based on the relief above, Cano knew that the coffin contained cow mummies, after all, one of Serapis' incarnations was a cow.
The temple would raise a cow until it died, mummify it and bury it, and then choose a cow of the same color to continue the offering.
Without squinting, Nito led Kano forward. The main hall of the temple is underground, as Serapis has the identity of the god of the underground.
There is a wrapped idol in the main hall, and Nito goes straight around the idol and enters the apse through a hidden passageway.
Kano followed them around and finally came to a hut.
"The slate is here." Nito lit his wand and stood aside.
Kano carefully waved his wand and used the wind to blow off the dust above, revealing an obsidian tablet with hieroglyphs carved underneath.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand to put it on the stone slab, and at this time, Nito behind him also put his hand on his shoulder.
In an instant, a bright light flashed.
Nito withdrew his hand, and there was no one in front of him.
Kano was swept up in a powerful force, and inexplicably felt the power of time again.
When his feet hit the ground, he quickly opened his eyes. There is a yellow sand everywhere you can see, where is there a little shadow of the underwater ruins?
"Where is this..."
Kano knew he had traveled through time again, but he had no idea how he could go back.
Kano could feel that Nito had no ill will from beginning to end, and that the last touch he had had only been a simple touch.
Could it be that there is something wrong with that slate?
Anyway, let's find a place where humans live and ask.
Kano turned into a white eagle and flew into the sky, heading north. If you are still in Egypt, you will fly north to the Mediterranean, and there must be people along the coast.
After a while, he saw a caravan. When the leader saw such a large eagle, he immediately beckoned everyone to take refuge.
So is it more reasonable for the eagle in the sky to fall and become a man, or is it more reasonable to jump out of a person in the desert where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back?
Kano circled twice, and simply turned back into a human body and landed in front of the leader of the caravan.
"Respectful... Tenjin-sama... You, you" The leader immediately knelt on the ground and stumbled, and the men, women, and children behind him also knelt on the ground in an uproar.
Fortunately, the language that Kano learned last night is relatively similar, and he can barely understand it.
"I'm not a god, where are you going?" Kano asked, trying to help him up.
"Honorable Celestials, we are on the move." The leader wanted to stand up, but when he saw Kano's face, his legs went limp, and he knelt down.
This person is extremely handsome in appearance and mysterious and noble in temperament, how can he not be a god?
"Don't kneel!" Kano simply waved his wand, and a gust of wind pulled them all up, and no one could kneel down, "I said that I am not a god, who is the pharaoh now?" ”
"It's Pharaoh Smendis." The leader saw the "miracle" and replied excitedly.
Well, the knowledge blind spot, I don't know what era it is at all.
At this moment, a little girl came out of the crowd, although thin, but she did not seem to do much productive labor, and her eyes flashed with the brilliance of inquiry.
"I am a priestess sent by Pharaoh, please come with me."
With that, she stretched out her finger and gestured, and the sand on the ground swam.
Well, it's a wizard, at least she doesn't think she's a god and can communicate normally.
"Our team has taken the will of the pharaoh and built a new city for him." The little girl introduced herself, "My name is Nito Chriss, you can call me Nito." ”
Is this name a popular name in Egypt?
"I'm a wizard, and I wield powers similar to you. You can call me Canopus. ”
"No, dear sir, you are not like us." Nito seemed to admit it a little, "I can see that you don't believe in God, and in my vision you are closer to God Himself." ”
"And you're much stronger than I am."
"Okay, whatever you want." Kano raised his hands in surrender.
He has the breath of Gensokyo on his body, and it is understandable that he was wronged. And wizards in this era don't have wands, and I am afraid that I and wizards of Dumbledore's level can fight back and forth.
"Do you know where the destination is?" Kano asked, "I know that you Egyptian priests have studied mathematics and know a lot about agriculture, have you surveyed the condition of the new settlement?" ”
Nito smiled and nodded: "I can't hide it from you, in fact, the people of the temple have already gone there to establish a small settlement, and now they are waiting for us to pass." ”
"Maritime trade between Greece and us is becoming more and more frequent, and the pharaoh said that we need to build a better port."
"There were stonemasons, carpenters, merchants, and priests in this procession. All the people you can think of to build a port are here. ”
Kano touched his chin and thought.
According to past experience, he needs to defeat resentment in order to return to his own time.
But this time, he hadn't seen any resentment so far, and he didn't have a battlefield background. It seems that the current era is quite peaceful, and even Egypt and Greece still have merchant ships.
Forget it, let's follow the team first. Maybe tomorrow morning, like the one in Ireland, will time go back?
At the same time, at sea.
A guy in a black robe with a rancid smell on his body was showing his eyes and looking at the slowly approaching land.
