The Wizard of the World

The ancient Egyptians believed that there was a huge beetle pushing the sun outside the world. It controlled the alternation of morning and dusk and was the sun god equivalent to 'Ra'.Every year, successive pharaohs would choose one of many gods to perform human sacrifices, and this year the god to be sacrificed happened to be Kebuli.

Isaac was held on the shoulders of a tall Egyptian soldier. He was so weak that he could only let these guys control him. After the soldiers rushed, everyone walked into the Pharaoh's palace. At this time, the palace had already been decorated A good sacrifice site, as long as the slaves are in place, the sacrifice can start at any time.

It was a huge circular platform with ten coffins placed on the edge of the platform. Each coffin was engraved with various weird statues of gods, including an eagle-headed person, a cat-headed person, a wolf-headed person, and a snake-headed person. They should be someone's. The appearance of some gods.

"Bring the sacrifice up!" A middle-aged man in white robes walked from the side. He was covered in eye-shaped gold jewelry and held a scale in his hand. All soldiers passing by this man would say He shouted respectfully: "Priest Ramon."

Ten slaves were each brought to the high platform by ten soldiers. Pushed by the Pharaoh's soldiers, Isaac was tied with chains all over his body and then forced into a coffin. The soldiers stood outside the coffin to prevent others from attacking. Saye escaped from it.

In the center of the platform is a golden beetle statue made purely of gold and various gemstones. It is three meters high, and its whole body exudes dazzling light.When someone gets closer, they can find that there is a large dark hole in the mouth of the beetle. It is so dark inside that others cannot see what is going on inside.

Priest Ramon walked up the steps to the platform. At some point, a black cat with gold jewelry around its neck appeared in his arms. Its eyes were as white as jade, as charming as the moonlight.

When Ramon carried the black cat and walked under the statue of the golden beetle, everyone in the palace suddenly fell silent. They looked at the black cat and the statue in awe, and slowly knelt on the ground.

"From the moment the world was born, Kebli has been guarding us as a watcher, and in return, we must send him loyal servants." Ramon said to everyone.

The pharaoh sitting on the throne was holding a scepter and wearing a golden jackal mask on his face. When Ramon finished speaking, he said: "Let's start the human sacrifice directly, Priest Ramon."

"Yes." Ramon nodded and blew a whistle.

I saw the pharaoh soldiers outside each coffin immediately pulling out the iron swords at their waists and stabbing the left chest of the slave in the coffin with all their strength.

"Ah!!!" The sword blade was halfway into his body, and countless blood points burst out from the wound. Isaac felt a heartbreaking pain deep in his chest, and he couldn't help but scream out. The sound came.

The bright red blood flowed all the way down Isaac's body, and soon there was a pool of blood on the soles of his feet.

This situation was not limited to Isaac alone, nine other slaves locked in coffins also suffered such torture.As the blood falls to the ground drop by drop, everyone's life is passing by with time.

"Goddess Best, now please recommend to Kebuli a tribute that is most suitable for the insect festival this year." Ramon stroked the black cat in his arms, and then gently put it on the ground.

The sacrifice seems to have ushered in its most sacred moment, and everyone is focused on it.

A black cat, in ancient Egypt, the cat had a symbol representing Best, and the one now walking on the high platform is said to be the cat god who summoned the will of the goddess Best by Ramon.Only it can select the most suitable insect sacrifice tribute for Khepri.

Human sacrifice has always been the most sacred activity in ancient Egypt. On this day, the pharaoh and nobles will visit the site, and the priest will preside over it.Human sacrifice required ten slaves as sacrifices, and nine of them received only the most ordinary blood sacrifices. Special pharaoh soldiers would continuously cut wounds on their bodies until the blood in the sacrifices drained out and died.

Besides the nine people, the slave chosen by the Cat God will receive a higher level of sacrifice - the insect sacrifice.At this time, this slave was no longer a sacrifice, but a tribute specially sent to Kebli.

The black cat was walking around on the platform. No one knew which slave it would choose. Isaac leaned against the coffin with his back in confusion, and his vision was blurry. He was already in the weakest state due to the lack of energy in his body. , and now his chest has been scratched again, and a large amount of blood has been lost. Judging from his current condition, he probably won't survive today.

The black cat licked its paws and was about to walk towards an ugly slave, but suddenly it stopped halfway, as if it smelled some alluring smell, the black cat immediately took a step forward He ran towards the coffin where Isaac was lying with graceful steps.

"Selected, selected! It's that slave. He recognized the qualifications for the Insect Festival from the Best Goddess!" Ramon couldn't help shouting when he saw the black cat running directly in front of Isaac and yawning at him. .

The ancient Egyptians regarded a cat's yawning as a sign of approval. Now that the black cat yawned at Isaac, it means that it has decided to let Isaac go as a tribute to this year's insect sacrifice.

"Bring the tribute over here!" Ramon shouted to the ten pharaoh soldiers on the platform. Everyone immediately ran to the coffin where Isaac was sitting, lifted the coffin directly, and then moved towards the golden beetle statue. Walk to location.

"Be gentle, the position must be correct." Ramon stood nearby and gave verbal instructions. The Pharaoh soldiers placed the coffin under the mouth of the golden beetle, and Isaac's position was exactly aimed at the big dark hole.

Ramon picked up the scale in his hand and smashed it at the golden beetle, and saw 'Bang! ' With a sound, the entire Golden Beetle shook suddenly and violently, as if something was about to crawl out from inside.

"sizzle"

Under everyone's gaze, the big hole was like a spring erupting, and countless black beetles poured out from it, all falling into the coffin where Isaac was lying below.The frightened beetles crawled around, but the coffin was so deep that they couldn't escape at all. They could only burrow into various parts of Isaac's body. Isaac's painful wails immediately sounded from all around, and the beetles were all gnawing. Touching the flesh and blood on his body, half of his arms turned into bones in a short while.

Soon the sea of ​​black beetles coming out of the golden beetle statue flooded Isaac's body. Seeing that they were about to overflow from the coffin, several Pharaoh soldiers quickly closed the coffin lid, and soon there was no movement inside.

"Kebli has accepted the tribute we sent!" Ramon cheered immediately after closing the coffin. Everyone stood up from the ground and saluted in the direction of the sun.

No one noticed that in the darkness inside the coffin, a pair of cold eyes suddenly opened among countless beetles squirming.

"So much energy..."
