Chapter 51: The Temple Mage
The barracks are really very simple, an empty house built of stone, with doors, windows, and beds, which is all that, the so-called bed is a Chase bunk, and there is not even a basic pillow cover, which needs to be solved by yourself.
Menes frowned and smiled bitterly and said, "Heron, please thank Commander Dzose for taking care of him, we will take care of the rest, you go and get busy!"
Heron smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, the barracks canteen will be open in the evening, and I will inform you again." ”
After saying that, Heron walked out of the barracks, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Menes suddenly stopped Heron and asked, "Where is your temple here?"
Heron was stunned for a moment and said, "There is a temple in the city, but it is very simple, nine deaths and a life are the fate of the soldiers of the Nine Gods Legion, and the soldiers are buried in the barracks cemetery when they die, and do not make mummies!"
"You guys are so simple...... Forget it, Bata, you and Heron go and dispose of the corpse together, so that we can bury them alive!"
Although Menes was not rich in his previous life, he had his own independent bed, and he could take a bath every day, and he was also a powerful lord who came to this world, and the conditions for food, clothing and housing were still very good, and it was really difficult to accept to live in such a broken place now.
Rasim yelled with disgust, "Treat us like beggars? How can we live here? This is an insult to our Lord Menes, may the gods punish him! My lord, I see that there are good hotels on the street, the environment is good, and the food should be okay, so it is better for us to stay in a hotel on the street." ”
Rasim has been living a good life with Menes recently, and he has forgotten about his tattered tent, which is easy to check in, and it is difficult to be frugal from luxury!
"Just stay here!" said Menes firmly.
Menes understood that Zosse deliberately wanted to humiliate these nobles, give himself a dismount, and make Menes suffer.
Menes thought to herself that I couldn't endure hardship, I didn't want to endure hardship, I had a good life to live, and I had to find guilt for myself, which was a manifestation of mental unhealth, but now I encountered this situation, what should I do if I meet such a person?
"Take out our equipment, clean up the scene, hard life can exercise people's willpower, but good living habits, in order to maintain a good fighting ability, the spirit of hardship and hard work is not improved by starvation, dirt and cold, even if the conditions are not good, we must work hard to live well. Menes deliberately yelled so that the soldiers of the Zose could hear it.
Rasim didn't care what Menes said, since he was not allowed to stay in a hotel, he had to live here, in short, it was much better than his previous tent.
Rasim took the staff to get the equipment, Menes and his party still brought the bedding rolls and household items, and there was actually no shortage of food, but there was no place to cook.
The team members soon began to clean up, and Menes also participated, their beds were arranged in the innermost part, all kinds of supplies were stacked neatly, some important documents of Menes were stored separately, and personal weapons were neatly arranged at the door.
Everyone has been with Menes for a long time, so Menes' do-it-yourself habit is already acceptable to everyone, but the soldiers of the Nine Gods Legion who come in and out are very puzzled, this lord really plans to live here? He actually cleans up by himself, makes beds and folds quilts? This is different from the previous lords and nobles? The priests from the holy city all live in the temple and have their own servants to take care of their daily life, this lord is so strange!
Zose's barracks is like this, and he didn't mean to humiliate Menes specifically, whoever comes to him is this virtue, but in reality, no lord or nobleman will clean up by himself, Menes is really the first lord to clean up by himself.
Zosse was in great need of the kingdom's support, but what he wanted most was to give weapons and equipment and soldiers, and he didn't want the lord to come here to make trouble, so Zosse was not grateful for Menes' arrival, and the thank you speech at the door referred to the material support given by Menes.
After the barracks were cleaned, Menes sat on the Chase bunk and read the information about the fortress, which was given by Jet, which was a bit outdated and different from the current situation.
As he watched Bata suddenly walk in and said, "My lord, the injured slave is not dead, but he is still alive, what should I do?"
"Still alive, so tenacious?" Menes asked, surprised.
"yes, I didn't expect that either!"
"Since you're still alive, let's find a doctor to take a look, is there any way to save it?"
"The magician of the temple doesn't help me, saying that he is not saved, but just barely living, or will you go and tell me?" asked Batta.
Menes thought for a moment, nodded, and followed Bata out of the barracks.
The temple of the fortress of Ra is not a separate building, the entire temple is located in the main castle of the fortress.
The main fortress of the fortress of La God is known as the "Eye of Horus", and the fortress is an octagonal towering structure with an overall height of 80 meters, which exceeds the city walls, and can be seen from the top of the entire surrounding area of the fortress.
The fortress was divided into nine tiers, with a diameter of about forty meters at the bottom, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, in a conical shape, with a pointed top.
At the bottom of the main fort is the central hall, the second floor is the residence of the commander of the legion, the third floor is the armory and granary, the fourth floor is the temple, the fifth floor is the main residence of the temple priests, the sixth floor is the database, the main information about the history of the fortress of the nine gods is here, the seventh floor is the artifact storage room, the eighth floor is said to be the residence of the gods and the location of the Kaba fortress of the god La, and the ninth floor is a watchtower, which is manned all year round and is on guard duty all year round, and if danger is found, it will hit the big bell at the top.
Menes walked up the stairs of the Eye of Horus, how could such a narrow staircase and such a height be suitable for the wounded to go up and down? It was a bit unreliable to hand over the wounded to the priests of this group of temples, the road was bumpy, and the good people were also shaken apart, not to mention the wounded?
Dzose didn't know how to care for the wounded at all, or he didn't care at all, the wounded soldier was more troublesome than the dead soldier, so it was better to die.
Finally climbing up to the temple hall on the fourth floor, Menes followed a passage to the mummy-making room behind the temple, where the corpses brought by Menes were parked in the room, and several mummies were parked around it.
Who said that temples don't mummify? Isn't this a re-mummy?
Menes will not care about this matter for the time being, and will communicate with Zosse in the future.
There is a smell of embalming materials in the morgue, it is estimated that some of the corpses have begun to decompose, and this morgue has no windows, how can they suffer from this smell, and their noses are broken?
Menes couldn't help but pinch her nose and walk in.
There were several priests of the temple at the scene, and when they saw Menes come in, they knew that they were lords from the kingdom, so they stopped their work and saluted Menes.
But there was one priest who did not lift his head, but dissected the corpse, ignoring Menes' coming.
"Archmage Snefru, Lord Menes is here!" said Heron, the leader.
"Oh, I see, the man is hopeless, take him out and bury him, or if you want, you can sell it to me, and I'll use it for research, a Kit!" said Master Snefru, without looking up.
"That man is still alive, can you see if you can heal him?" said Herron tentatively.
"Is it necessary for a dead man to look at it, let alone a slave? I don't plan to buy it because of his tenacity, and I don't plan to buy it while he still has a breath, and if he dies, he will throw it away, wasting resources!" said Snefru, glaring.
"Damn!" Menes scolded in his heart, are the guys who pull the fortress of the gods so rude?
Menes was angry with the mage, so he didn't have a good attitude and said directly, "A human life? This is how your temple saves sentient beings? Do you dissect the living? You can also be regarded as fearing the gods?"
"A silver coin, save it for you to buy a shroud for yourself. "Menes has no good things to say.
Heron hurriedly pulled the corner of Menes' clothes and motioned to Menes not to talk too much and pay attention to his attitude.
Sneefru threw away the knife in his hand and glared at Menes and shouted, "Menes, where did you come from, I am the High Priest of the Nine Gods of the Holy City, the supreme magician, and the magician of the town hall of the Fortress of the Pulling Gods!"
"I am the lord of the Holy Cat State and the Ram State, the undertaker of the demigods, the son of Andyeb, the king of the mummies who have risen from the dead, and the greatest patron of the Nine Gods Legion. "The game says that Menes is not afraid!
Heron is still desperately trying to pull the corner of the Romanes.
"Don't pull the corners of my clothes, I know what's wrong? Isn't he just a mage? I'm the King of Mummies, and our Jett is also a mage, what's so great about him?" Menes said unconvinced.
When Snefru heard Menes' words, he sneered and said, "Oh! there are so many people called Menes, I can't tell who it is, you're so off!"
Menes was furious all of a sudden, what kind of thing is this, if you don't save people, it doesn't matter, it's so cross?
Menes shook off Heron and was about to settle accounts with this guy, when suddenly Menes seemed to be blocked by a wall and couldn't move forward, and then her body conjured up countless linen shrouds and began to spin around Menes, winding in circles and circles.
Sneforu spread out his hands and recited the incantation in the scripted language of the Holy Book, "Bakumu Base, Bu Saïdo, Anubis Baka......"
The pronunciation of the mage's holy script was so strange that Menes did not understand it, only the word Anubis, which was the name of the jackal god.
Menes knew that the creature was using magic, but she couldn't escape the control of magic.
Bata hurriedly drew his short sword to help Menes, but he was immediately targeted, and the corpse cloth began to wrap around, and Heron opened his mouth to stop the mage, but the mage ignored him.
Menes struggled desperately but to no avail, anger rushed into Menes's brain, is this going to be taken in today?
Menes tried to mobilize the godhead of the mummy king, chanting incantations constantly, Menes had succeeded before, but now he couldn't try several times in a row, Snefru's spell speed kept increasing, and the corpse cloth had already wrapped Menes together.
The tighter the corpse cloth was wrapped, the more powerful the god Kaba seemed to be, constantly churning in his body, like boiling water, Menes kept adjusting the spell, chanting one after another.
The corpse cloth had wrapped Menes tightly, Menes began to have trouble breathing, and Bata was already only exposed to the head, and the rest was wrapped.
Menes is now a mummy, Sneefru's hand waved, Menes floated, at this time, Menes' body suddenly emitted a blue light, and the whole person flashed the appearance of the king of mummies, but only a few flashes still could not complete the transformation.
There was a sound of metal rubbing, and Jett was seen striking Sneffru's shroud with his magic wand, cutting off the magic.
Menes also flashed, and the King of Mummies shook his body and "collapsed" to break the shroud.
Snefru quickly withdrew his hand, looked at Jet and said with a sneer, "Holy Cat Mage Jett, don't come unharmed!"
"Archmage Snefru, are you alright?" Jett replied coldly, reaching out to undo the shroud from Bata's body.
