"With the disappearance of Egyptian civilization, there is no basis for the survival of this afterlife.

This is not the original Reed Plain, the real Reed Plain should have been destroyed.

But someone built this place so that the reed energy could be continued.

But unfortunately, the advent of the end of the era hastened the demise of the last pure land of the Egyptians. ”

Gallant came back to his senses, looked at everything in front of him, and quickly asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

After hearing Char's story about this civilization, he also fell in love with this reed field, and it would be a pity if such a beautiful place was really destroyed.

"In this world, nothing is eternal, not even the universe."

Char took a step and walked away on the reeds, Tony followed him, and Gallant hurriedly followed.

The people of the Reed Fields seem to have spotted their outsiders as well.

A child came from not far away and came to Char's side, the child had no hair, but was very cute.

The Egyptians were hairless, probably because the weather in ancient Egypt was hot, but water was not easy to find.

Therefore, in order to facilitate cleaning and prevent raw fleas, the hair is simply plucked out with beeswax, so Egyptian wigs are very popular.

He spoke an ancient Egyptian word to Char, which the three of them obviously didn't understand.

But Char raised his hand, and a rune was carved out of the air by him, and then entered the child's mind.

"Hello."

Soon, the child was speaking English that they were familiar with.

He obviously didn't notice anything unusual, just asked curiously.

"Did you come in from the outside?

It's been a long time since anyone has come to the reed fields.

What happened to the world? ”

Char didn't answer, but his eyelids were slightly tucked and he smiled.

"How long have you been here?"

"I don't remember," the kid said.

"And do you remember the Pharaoh when you came in?" Char continued to ask.

"Ramses II." The boy wondered, "Who else could there be?" ”

Apparently, the child believed that this pharaoh could rule Egypt forever, even after thousands of years.

"Is that so?"

Char reached out and touched the child's head, then continued into the distance.

The kid was obviously confused, and he looked at Char.

"You haven't answered my question yet?"

"Wait until you go out and see for yourself." Char said without looking back.

The child crooked, puzzled, but ran back to his parents.

"What's the matter, Bayek, aren't those new friends friendly?" His parents asked.

The kid shook his head and looked at Char's back as she faded away.

"He's a weirdo."

The reed fields were vast, and they saw many Egyptian-style buildings along the way, and a small stream meandered through the villages.

People live and work here in peace and contentment, everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high and low, there is no need to worry about material things, and there is no need to think about the future.

All you need to do is enjoy your other life in this sacred land with your loved ones.

This is also the meaning of the afterlife.

Only those who do good can enter the afterlife, so there will be no conflict here.

Before entering the world, the souls of the dead will be judged by Anubis, and the sinners will be swallowed by a monster.

Rewarding the good and punishing the evil is the basic universal value of every civilization, which is much better than the assumption in some myths that people are born sinful.

"Who is Ramses II?" Gallant asked curiously.

"You really don't know anything." Tony complained, "The son of Taseti I, the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, was an outstanding politician, military strategist, writer, poet, and architect, and his reign was the last strong era of the New Kingdom of Egypt, and he was called Ramses the Great by historians." ”

After a pause, he said, "In this world, not all emperors can be called emperors. ”

Gallant's jaw.

They soon came to the edge of the reed field, with Char's magic. A pyramid appeared in front of them, much smaller than the ones outside.

And it's not completely closed, the gate is still open, and there are no guards.

For the people on the Reed Plain, the wealth of the world is no longer important, so there is no need to do any anti-theft measures at all.

They walked straight into the pyramid, which was much more spacious inside, like a magnificent palace, supported by many long columns, and stood with an obelisk.

The sun shines through the gap above and shines on the obelisk, and the gold reflects the sun's brilliance, illuminating the temple with magnificence.

Tony looked around and said, "If it's really Ramses II, everything makes sense, and his favorite thing is to build magnificent buildings."

Do you think he's in the afterlife?

We might be able to go to him and ask where the jade is located. ”

Char shook his head, "He's gone."

"But isn't this an afterlife?" Tony frowned and asked, "As a pharaoh, can't you enter the afterlife?" ”

"What do you think is the basis for this second-established afterlife?" Char said.

Tony's eyes widened, as if he realized something.

"The Hades of Europe and Britannia are now based on faith and the power of death, but in essence, the source of these powers is actually "civilization".

And the Egyptian civilization has perished, and the afterlife has naturally lost the power of dependence.

To build such a place, even for thousands of years, there must be a huge amount of energy.

And the pharaoh, who is the incarnation of the god Ra, could not be more suitable to be the provider of this energy. ”

Char looked around and whispered.

"So, he sacrificed himself just to keep this place going?" Tony muttered distractedly.

He looked at Char, "But how do you know?" ”

"Can't I know?" Char said.

"Okay." Tony shrugged his shoulders, he did have a limited understanding of Char, Char's daily life was too fishy, so that it was easy to give some illusions about Char's abilities.

But if you think about it carefully, the existence in front of you has the ability to elevate people, and it is naturally possible to know the secrets that are not known in this world.

Even if he had seen it with his own eyes, Tony didn't doubt it.

"But will there be anything we want here?"

"The original Jade Record has been destroyed."

Char muttered softly.

"This is the result of my astrological divination."

"What?" Tony frowned, "Then we didn't come for nothing?" ”

"Nope." Char's eyes flickered, "Jade Lu, you've actually seen it."

Tony was stunned for a moment, but soon, he seemed to realize something, and his eyes froze.

"The pharaohs never hid the jade record." Char said calmly, "As the most mysterious knowledge in the world, the threshold it has is already the best means of secrecy.

The pharaohs copied many of the jade records, which they carved on stone tablets and carved into the walls.

You've seen it already, just yet."

"I don't know ancient Egyptian." Tony Road.

But after a pause, he whispered, "But in this day and age, there is not even a systematic study of ancient Egyptian philology.

Even in modern times, there are not many ancient Egyptian scripts that can be deciphered if the translation is not accurate. ”

"Isn't there a ready-made teacher here?" Char laughed.

Tony's eyes flashed with a flash of light, "I see. ”

He looked at Char, "That's why you're coming in this place?" ”

Char didn't speak.

Tony immediately turned around and walked out, apparently ready to look for the Egyptians.

And Gallant was a little at a loss, "Sir, then I"

"The speed of time in the afterlife is different from that of the outside world." Char said, "You've been here for months, and it's probably only been a few hours outside, and your companions outside have food and water.

This is a great opportunity for you. ”

"Opportunity?" Gallant was a little confused.

But suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and turned his head to look at Tony's departing back.

Char and Tony didn't shy away from their chat just now, so Gallant naturally heard some words about Jade and the like.

He didn't know what it was, but what he did know was that it was what Mr. Stark was looking for.

And it seems to be everywhere, as long as you learn ancient Egyptian characters, you can understand it.

Gallant's eyes widened slightly, his thoughts gradually cleared, and he looked at Char, "Sir, can I also go to study?" ”

"I have never restricted your freedom." Char said, "These are your own choices, aren't they?" ”

Gallant understood what Char meant, suppressed the excitement in the center, and he also turned his head and hurriedly followed Tony's footsteps and left the palace.

Char didn't follow, but turned his head and continued to walk into the depths of the palace, about a few hundred meters, he pushed open a relatively hidden door, and soon entered a large hall.

And at the end of the temple, on the throne of the high platform, a mummy wearing pharaoh's robes, wearing the crown of upper and lower Egypt, wearing a pharaoh's beard, and holding a hook and flail that represented the authority of the pharaoh, sat there.

His whole body was bandaged except for his eyes, and his eyes were staring at the end of the palace.

This mummy is much taller than normal, at least two meters taller.

There was no rancid smell on his body, but a faint aroma, and he sat up straight, as if he were still looking down on his Egypt.

Mu Mu didn't have any life breath on his body, but just sitting there made it impossible to ignore his presence.

Tony's guess wasn't accurate, and it wasn't all his purpose to go into the afterlife and learn ancient Egyptian scripts.

His purpose is precisely what is in front of him.
