Chapter 98: She in the Remaining Fragrance (Part )
"No, sir," the former captain of the guards replied, "We are only responsible for protecting the noble Pharaoh."
"So is there any...melon to eat recently?" Lao Ba planned to change the way of asking, after all, gossip can be so accurate sometimes.
"There is indeed one, but..." the former captain of the guards replied stutteringly.
"But what? There are not so many buts. Just tell me your story."
He spoke slowly only after hearing Lao Ba speak.
"I heard that the Pharaoh had dental implants on his front teeth in order to maintain his previous smile."
"Isn't that it?!"
"What else is there?"
"Forget it, forget it. Go ahead! I'll go see the Pharaoh myself."
.........
In the temple hall, Tutankhamun was gazing at the daytime statue of Ra.
Hua Hua Hua——
Then he crossed his legs and sat on top of the stands, with the secret passage of the Nile River under his feet.
"Your Majesty, King Tutankhamun II, may I ask why you are looking for me?"
Lao Ba bowed in greeting.
"thump!"
Tutankhamun did not answer, but threw the piece of meat in his hand into the dark river.
“Gurgle…”
With a low, bubbling sound, the Nile crocodiles slowly poked their heads out of the river. Their huge, ferocious heads towered above the water like a small mountain, emitting a frightening aura.
Watching the Nile crocodile snatching food, Tutankhamun showed his perfect white teeth, and then his right hand groped behind his back.
"please!"
Lao Ba quickly stood up and handed over a plate of meat on the table.
"Little Blackie! From now on you will be called Little Blackie."
Lao Ba: Just because your sculpture was lost, you are using me as your sculpture, right?
Tutankhamun took the plate with one hand and then threw it directly into the underground river.
Amid the sounds of the Nile crocodiles biting and tearing, he slowly turned around and said, "Little Blackie, follow me."
Lao Ba didn't dare to resist and followed him silently. This is... an elevator!!!
The elevator moved downwards, and after a few minutes they arrived at a vast underground space.
It was the tomb that Lin En and others had visited.
"Little Blackie, at the age of ten, his father, who was also a guard, recommended him to join the Pharaoh's guard selection exam. He ranked first and joined the reserve team. He has been working diligently for twenty years."
"You are very good."
"It's all for the great Pharaoh!", Lao Ba answered piously.
No way, it’s all for Lady Altoli!
After hearing the answer he wanted, Tutankhamun became visibly happier.
"Little Blackie, have you ever thought about becoming a servant of God?" Pharaoh asked softly.
"Don't dare!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Ba immediately knelt down. He didn't want to be remembered by this moody Pharaoh, so he quickly said, "Being the guard of the noble Pharaoh is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes. How dare I have other ideas?"
As Lao Ba spoke, he glanced at Pharaoh's expression out of the corner of his eye, but Pharaoh's face remained as calm as water, and no emotion could be seen.
"What if I become a god?"
Pharaoh spoke again, but his voice was much lower than before, with a hint of majesty and oppression.
What the hell? You black man, even toothpaste can become a god!
Lao Ba was shocked. He didn't expect Pharaoh to suddenly ask such a question.
"I don't understand...I don't understand what you mean."
Lao Ba knew that pretending to be confused was the best option at this time. After all, this topic was too sensitive. If he said something wrong, he wouldn't know what would happen to him.
Pharaoh looked at Lao Ba's trembling appearance, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his big white teeth were very eye-catching.
Of course he knew what Lao Ba was thinking, but he didn't care because he believed that Lao Ba was a smart man and would not betray him easily.
Immediately.
Tutankhamun no longer looked at him, but slowly turned around and walked towards the huge pyramid step by step.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
The steps are steady and powerful.
When he reached the pyramid, he stopped, clenched the golden scepter in his hands, and raised it high.
His eyes became deeper and deeper, and he said lightly.
"I knew at an early age that life was difficult.
Still allowed to wander alone in the circle of people.
I spent half my life humble as a feather,
I have been guarding the tomb alone for thousands of years.
One day you will know my heart,
Work hard to reverse the situation.
Today, the power points to the sky.
I will destroy my clan and become a god, and I will justify my name."
“??(???*)HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”, the big white teeth shone even more.
"Little Blackie, if I were a god, would you be willing to serve me?"
Lao Ba knelt on the ground with his head buried very low, and he shouted loudly.
"Long live the Pharaoh!"
"Long live the Pharaoh!!"
"Long live the Pharaoh!!!"
.........
Dream world.
"Little Holu, how long will it take for my lovely junior to wake up?"
Tutankhamun asked curiously, looking at his disappearing soul.
"I don't know! It could be a few days, or it could be a few months."
"what!?"
"Is this remnant of my soul so useless?"
"Indeed, it's useless."
"(｀へ′) Then what's the use of you now? You have to pretend to be frozen when you meet a 'La'." Tutankhamun immediately retorted, as if he had returned to the past.
"I... have exhausted everything I have, and I can still deliver a powerful attack at my peak. It's more than enough to at least kill a newly arrived Lord God."
Tutankhamun: ………
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, for gods, those with more power of faith are stronger, while those with almost no power of faith are extremely weak. Among the many pantheons, the former are called the main gods, and the latter are called secondary gods.
When he was still alive, he had been building momentum for Horus and Anubis and strengthening their faith. Although Horus only had one eye left, it was still normal to exchange one for the other.
"Ah! Only the head is left so quickly." Tutankhamun was a little surprised at the speed of disappearance, "Horus, protect it well..."
Tutankhamun disappeared completely.
"I know, but..." Horus still had something else to do, "I have some questions for your junior."
After saying this, Horus' appearance gradually changed into that of a man in a white robe.
.........
"Didn't the ancestors say to activate the Eye of Horus? How come it's been so long and we haven't succeeded yet?"
In the pure white dream, Violet squatted and drew circles on the ground with her fingers.
Just when she was about to finish drawing the forty-ninth one, a figure in a white robe appeared in front of her.
"I am always thinking……"
The figure in white robe suddenly moved, as if talking to himself. The voice was not loud, but Violet could hear it clearly.
"Is life always this painful? Or is it only so when you are ruled by a god?"
"Ancestor!? Hehe, are you testing me? I know the answer to this question."
Violet took a firm step and spoke loudly to the figure in the white robe.
"Of course it has always been like this. Brother Sijiu once said that life is full of pain and frustration! God is just the reason for your own pain."
The figure in white robe continued to ask questions.
“So what is a truly great person?”
"A truly great man..."
“I was at the lowest point in my life.
Still able to cheer up,
Still have the courage,
Still gritting my teeth and persisting,
I will still keep my eyes on my target!"
The figure in white robe nodded slightly, and when he reappeared, he was already next to Violet.
"Child, do you know Horus?" The man in white robe touched the girl's head, his eyes full of love.
"Well... Altori told me since I was a child that He is the god of the sky in Egyptian mythology. He yearns for freedom more than anyone else. Horus belongs to the sky! But He is also the patron saint of the Pharaoh and the symbol of royal power. So He gave up his freedom and chose to protect the Pharaoh. Even when He turned into the Eye of Horus, He was still fulfilling this duty."
Horus: (*???*) Really? Actually, I'm not that...
“But, He is also the God of Vengeance!”, Velvet suddenly said.
"God of Vengeance..."
Horus himself almost forgot this title of god.
"Youngster, close your eyes and go to sleep. When you wake up, I promise that your brother Sijiu will appear in front of you immediately."
"Ok!"
