Char watched silently at the sandstorm, which was heading in the direction of the Nile.

Before that, the Nile River was overflowing, many crops were destroyed, rebels were in rebellion, and wars were rife, and this sandstorm was undoubtedly worse.

"Come in."

Char didn't reply.

It seems to have been said to the people lying in the sand below.

Gallant was the first to get up from the ground and shook off the sand covering his body, he was in okay condition due to the fate Char gave him.

However, the rest of the peers were not very good, some of them coughed violently and spit out a lot of sand, and some of them had a lot of sand in their eyes and ears.

He looked around and said, "Count the numbers!" ”

Simon came to his senses, blinked his uncomfortable eyes, turned his head to look at the people behind him, and took inventory.

"Two people less." Simon said, "I guess he wasn't with us when the sandstorm just came, but now I guess"

"I see." Gallant said in a deep voice.

Then, turning his head, he looked at the gate of the castle, took a deep breath, and walked first, he walked up the stairs, grabbed the doorknob and slowly pushed it open, and walked in.

The inner room was much larger than he had imagined.

But the most eye-catching thing is Alicia sitting on the sofa quietly reading a book by the firelight.

She wore a pale white petticoat, her hair was simply draped over her shoulders, and there was no makeup on her face, but even so, Gallant felt that her body exuded a faint glimmer, like an angel who had fallen to the earth.

Garland immediately realized that she was the same woman who had appeared beside Char before, but she was wearing a veil, and he just glanced at it, and he just thought that her eyes were beautiful, but he didn't dare to look more.

But I didn't expect such a beautiful face under the veil.

The rest of the team who had come up the stairs were obviously the same, they were all stunned, not daring to continue forward, a little cramped.

Any man will have this posture when he sees the opposite sex that he can't reach, cramped and nervous, and some of the more introverted will show low self-esteem.

Alicia had apparently noticed them as well, and she closed the book to look at them, as if she had found something, frowning slightly, staring at their feet.

Gallant also lowered his head in response to her gaze, and a lot of sand and gravel had been shaken off their bodies, and the staircase was basically full of yellow sand.

They were visibly embarrassed.

If this living room had been as dirty and messy as the castle had been, it might not have been so embarrassing.

But the living room was spotless, and the yellow sand they brought in was so conspicuous that anyone with a tutor would find it very rude.

And also in front of such a beautiful lady.

"Alicia prefers cleanliness."

At this time, Char walked over from the side like a savior, and solved these people from that awkward atmosphere.

Char came to the door, turned the doorknob and opened it, and to their surprise, it was no longer the yellow sand, but an elegantly decorated office, with a large short-haired carpet on the floor and a quaint desk on the carpet.

"Come with me."

Char walked out the door, and the rest of the group looked at each other and walked out, the office was much taller than they had imagined, and it looked like it should be a tower.

Char walked straight over and sat down in his office chair, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers before they could react.

A little green goblin appeared at Char's side as if he were teleporting.

"What are the requirements, Professor?" The leprechaun asked.

"Help me take a few of them to the public bathroom to take a shower, prepare a change of clothes for them, and prepare some drinking water for them."

The little goblin glanced back at Gallant and the others, and walked to the double gate on the other side with his short legs and pushed it open.

Behind the door was a hallway, and the space in the place seemed to be bigger than they thought.

"Come with me."

Gallant came back to his senses, and he looked at Char, "Sir, we"

"Let's go take a shower first." Char said, "I've always been here, haven't I? ”

Gallant didn't continue to speak, but turned his head and walked out with the rest of the people following the goblin.

As they thought, the space was scary, and the interior was a bit like a castle.

This is of course familiar to Simon, who is the Kaiser's personal bodyguard, but compared to the German Imperial Palace, this castle is really much larger, with many complicated corridors and staircases, and some stairs even change, like a labyrinth.

If it weren't for that little goblin leading, they would definitely be lost here,

They've already tried the taste of being lost, and although the castle is better than the desert, the insecurity of being in a strange place makes them subconsciously get closer to the goblin.

Not all parts of the castle have open corridors, at least not the road to the public baths, which is closed, and all the roads are lit by torches, similar to the gloomy castles in many European medieval stories.

However, it is not that Europeans do not like sunlight, it is that the building materials and structure of the castle are not suitable for particularly large windows.

So if it were a normal building structure, the big balcony in Char's office wouldn't have existed.

Of course, it is very easy for an elven architect to solve this problem, but some places also retain some of the gloom of the castle, which can be regarded as a retro feature.

Gallant couldn't help but ask the little goblin, "Sir, how much do you know about that gentleman just now?" ”

The goblin paused for a moment, looked Gallant and the others up and down, and he almost immediately recognized these people as No-Maj without any magical powers.

"Didn't the professor tell you?"

"Nope." Gallant said, "I don't know anything about it. ”

Simon and the others also poked their ears out, wanting to learn some information about the mysterious man and this place from this little goblin.

However, this little goblin is obviously different from the rest of the naughty goblins, he is relatively steady, he shook his head.

"What I can tell you is that the professor is the master of this place.

The rest, if the professor wants to tell you, will tell you. ”

The school has long set up a rule that you can't expose the wizarding world to Maji, so for him, for Maji, if you can't say more, you won't say more,

This obviously made Gallant a little uncomfortable, and he reluctantly glanced at the people behind him, but he also knew that the other party didn't want to answer, and if he continued to ask, it would be annoying.

Char attaches great importance to the living environment of the students, and although it is a public bathroom, each bathroom is a private room with a partition and a separate changing room.

Originally, he wanted to make a separate bathroom space, but unfortunately the water pipes were too troublesome, and he had to pump the water to a high place, and the elves were obviously unfamiliar with it, so he still needed to take time to teach them.

This will prolong the time to complete, so you don't have to pursue it.

But those shower techniques that were quite advanced for this era also made Gallant and others feel very new, and at first, they were a little unaccustomed to it.

But as they got acquainted, they fell in love with the feeling of the shower, the warm hot water hitting their bodies, like a massage, washing away the sand and stones on their bodies, their exhaustion and discomfort.

After showering and changing clothes, they were taken back to the office by the little goblin, and by the way, they were each given a large glass of water, so that they could drink freely, who were already dry.

Gallant gulped down a few sips of water and gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, only then did he feel alive.

The same goes for the rest of the people he brought.

Char was no longer in the office, and the door to the office was open on one side, so it was obvious that Char was back in the courtyard.

They walked through the door and into the courtyard through the living room, where they soon saw Char lying in the rocking chair.

"Thank you for saving us." Gallant said.

"I'm just passing through." Char said casually, "You should be grateful to fate." ”

"Have you thought about it?" Char asked without looking back, "Do you want to go into that place?" ”

Gallant was silent for a moment and said, "I always knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. ”

Char shrugged, "I only need one thing, but I'm not sure if it's in there."

"What's that?" Gallant asked curiously.

"When you find it, you'll know," Char said.

Galant frowned, but then continued, "You don't have the power to go inside and find that thing?" ”

The rest of Gallant's team obviously thought the same thing, and it was obviously a little abnormal for such a mysterious existence in front of them to be entrusted to enter.

"To be exact, that's not what I want." Char said.

Gallant and the others were stunned for a moment, but then, through the gate of the courtyard, a person walked out, the same European he had seen in the tavern in Cairo.

"His name is Tony Stark." Char introduced to them, "He asked for it, and he will enter the place with you." ”

Gallant suddenly realized that Char obviously meant that this matter had nothing to do with him, and he naturally would not help.

"How?" Tony laughed, "I'm not going to throw an olive branch to anyone. ”

Char raised her eyebrows and teased, "This is Egypt, and the word olive branch is not appropriate." ”

Tony asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

"Do you know Osiris?" Char said.

"The Egyptian Hades?"

Char bowed his head and said slowly, "Osiris has a younger brother named Seth, who is the god of war, desert, and storm.

He was jealous that his brother could occupy the rich Nile and that he could only possess the desert.

So he plotted to kill his brother: he secretly ordered a coffin for Osiris, and then held a banquet to invite his relatives and friends.

He announced that if the coffin was suitable for whomever it was, the coffin would be given to him. A few people tried it, but none of them fit. So Seth encouraged his brother to give it a try.

As soon as Osiris was in the coffin, Seth slammed the lid shut and sealed it. Seth threw the coffin into the Nile and drowned Osiris. This causes the Nile to flood once a year.

Osiris's wife, Isis, found Osiris's body in the jungle and hid in the swamp to prepare to resurrect her husband. But it was discovered by Seth, who was out hunting.

Seth killed him again, and cut his body into fourteen pieces and hid them in various parts of the continent.

It took Isis many years to retrieve the pieces, but not all of them, only 13 pieces, and the Tintin was partially eaten by the fish.

So Isis gave Osiris an olive branch and gave birth to Horus, the god of the sky.

So, in Egypt, throwing an olive branch means "

"Needless to say, I see." Tony said with a black line on his head.

Although Char made a small joke, it was obvious that Simon and the others still listened very seriously.

Egyptian mythology had long since disappeared, and only the Bible had a simple account of it, and this was the first time they had heard such a detailed fragment of mythology.

Tony also looked at Gallant at this moment, obviously waiting for his answer.

Gallant was silent for a moment, and quickly replied, "I agree." ”

The purpose of his coming to Egypt was originally to explore the mystery, how could he give up such a good opportunity to get in touch with the mystery, anyway, he is now immortal, no matter how dangerous he is, he can survive.

Tony grinned slowly, "Then, without further ado"
