Chapter 287: Resurrection and the Year of the Demon Scorpion
London, inside the British Museum.
Hafz reconstructed an altar based on the information that had been handed down and his own research of ancient Egyptian ritual documents. The scale of this altar is not large, but the ground is covered with intricate inscriptions. A group of direct blood relatives who had followed Emeho since the beginning formed a circle and also participated in the resurrection ritual.
And the most crucial part of the ceremony is, of course, Hafz himself.
The black Undead Saint was placed in front of Hafz, and his hands followed the rhythm of the incantation chanted in his mouth to make different mudras. This process is also part of the ritual.
However, this newly built altar has an extra "outsider" who should not be here.
The man was a woman named Aveline. is the hostess of a family of three who made a fortune by robbing tombs and archaeology.
And why did he want to arrest this woman who didn't seem to be able to fight with the resurrection of Emmeho? The grievances have spanned thousands of years and continue to the present.
At the root of this, Aveline has a deep grudge against Ansunam and Emmaho. Back then, Emmeho and Ansunam killed the pharaoh who broke their adultery, and things were not without room for maneuver. At least with Emmeho's status and strength at that time, it was still possible to escape with Ansunam before the body of the pharaoh was discovered. The bad thing is that they just killed Pharaoh and were discovered by Pharaoh's daughter, which made it impossible for them to escape.
Coincidentally, Aveline, a tomb robber and archaeologist, was the daughter of the pharaoh in her previous life, and it was she who caused Emelho and Ansunam to flee unsuccessfully thousands of years ago.
For Ansunam, who has regained the memories of her past life, this woman is her enemy. Now that the enemy has been reincarnated, it is also to be avenged. I didn't think that if she and Emmeho were to count it like that, they would still be Aveline's "father-killer" enemies.
A grudge that has been remembered for thousands of years, and it is reincarnated and does not give up. I have to say that Ansunam's heart eyes are indeed small and funny, and the brain circuits are strange enough.
The rites of the resurrection went well. As Hafz chanted the only incantation that could be seen in the Bible, the coffin placed in the center of the altar began to react. Heavy breathing was coming from the coffin. The last withered fist smashed the coffin to pieces with a punch from within, and a rotting corpse jumped out.
"Dear master, you're finally back!" Hafz trembled with emotion. Thousands of years of wish have finally come true in the hands of his followers. Then, as the biggest contributor, Hafz felt that his days of prosperity were already expected.
However, the newly resurrected Emmeho behaved a little strangely, and his body movements showed that he was panicked, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare, and looked around carefully for a while before calming down. Glancing at the strange followers who had resurrected him, his eyes finally fixed on Ansunam's body.
The connection of evil fate made it easy for Emmeho, who was a wizard, to distinguish that the woman in front of him was the reincarnation of his lover in his previous life.
The corpse-like Emmejo hugged the beautiful Ansunam, and for a while, you and me, the picture was very spicy. Haftz, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but tilt his head, he was worried that he would not be able to stand it and spit it out.
"Emerho, who do you see is that?"
"Huh, it's her!"
The hatred in his previous life, Emerhuo didn't care too much, but when this enemy appeared in front of him after reincarnation, he naturally didn't care about killing her.
But Aveline is not alone, she has a family. When she is captured, her husband will naturally come to his rescue, and there is a mysterious member of the guard who will follow. The two of them machine-gunned down and saved Aveline right under the noses of Emmeho and his followers. This has to be said to be a miracle.
I don't know if it's just resurrected, and my brain is not very bright, Emmeho only remembered that although his mana has not yet recovered, he can still use other means after everyone has been rescued.
So Emerho picked up the jar that was said to contain his faithful followers, and after a spell, suddenly a large stream of gray-white powder burst out of the jar, and after the powder came out, it condensed into human form in the blink of an eye, which was four puppet creatures dressed as ancient Egyptian warriors.
As soon as the men came out, they went mad under the command of Emmeho and chased after the fleeing men.
Then, there was no then.
Filled with confidence, Emmeho felt that his puppet servants were completely invincible, and had no idea that they would fail.
But Hafz's words made Emerho pay attention again.
"Master, this is the Year of the Scorpion. ”
The so-called Year of the Scorpion is a chronology in ancient Egypt. Whenever this time comes, it means that something big will happen. Then it's time to open the tomb of the "Demon Scorpion Emperor".
And there's a rule in that. It is also this rule that makes Emmehoo pay great attention and excitement when he hears the words "Year of the Scorpion".
This rule was set by the god of death "Anubis". It is said that every time the Year of the Scorpion comes, you can take the bracelet of the Scorpion Emperor to open the tomb of the Scorpion Emperor. When the tomb is opened, two outcomes will appear.
The first result is that after opening the tomb, it will be left alone, then the awakened Demon Scorpion Emperor will reappear in the world, and inherit the obsession of his life and lead the army of Anubis to sweep the whole world. This result is equivalent to waging a war to destroy the world in the yang world on behalf of the god of death.
The second result is to open the tomb and go up to challenge before the Scorpion Emperor wakes up on his own. If you lose, it's a dead end, but if you win, you'll have a big deal. Anubis would hand over the command of his army to the man who had defeated the Scorpion King. When the time comes, whether this person will disband Anubis's army and return them to the underworld, or prepare to unify the world, both can be chosen.
The first result is that as long as you are not a fool, you will not do it. But the second result is a big deal. Especially for a wizard like Emmehoe who has both strength and ambition, it is his dream to build an immortal empire that belongs to wizards. And these followers of his followed him with all their hearts for this possible dragon skill.
As for whether he could defeat the Scorpion Emperor, not only did Emmehoe not think about it, but his servants also didn't think about it. Quite simply, the Scorpion Emperor was just an ordinary warrior during his lifetime, even if he became stronger now, he could never be the opponent of Emmeho as a wizard. Defeating him was just a trifle.
"Haftz, since you know that this is the Year of the Scorpion, have you ever gotten the bracelet that opened the Scorpion Emperor?"
In the face of Emerhoe's inquiry, Hafz looked apprehensive. It's not that he didn't look for it, but he did it. But he knew whose hand the bracelet was now.
