The first thing Pharaoh Ozymandias did after he ascended the throne was not to build temples everywhere, but——
Find a hawk.
To be precise, it is to select the most humane and bravest falcon from nearly ten million falcons searched from all over the country.
If it can be sent to the Pharaoh, it is the best eagle after careful selection.But Pharaoh's vision was extremely high, with such a huge number, almost none of them could be seen by him.
"The land that Yu ruled is so vast, can't we find a condor that can satisfy Yu? No, it's too far away, even Yu himself can't see it, how can he be satisfied!"
No one knows why Pharaoh was so angry, or why he was so urgent.In short, as long as Pharaoh didn't say a word of approval, what he wanted would keep coming.
This process took about a year, which seems a bit long.
But—barely caught up.
A year ago, when he was in the temple, the Pharaoh's loved one still left him without hesitation.
However, in view of their agreement, the man gave him one year and agreed to return to the palace to meet him after one year.
It is said to be "meeting", but in fact it is to inspect the goods according to the agreement.
Pharaoh had to find a condor that could be recognized by men during this year. As long as he could find it, the man could consider staying with him as an elder or friend until he died.
Well... there are two important points here.
One is, "can be considered".The man didn't say clearly that he would definitely stay, but in the ears of a certain pharaoh, "can consider" automatically became "will definitely stay".
Two is the same reason.Talking about "elders or friends" - ah, this sentence seems to be said by Pharaoh himself - does not exist, and it is impossible to take it seriously.
Although it is very unkind to play this kind of thinking on a man (because generally as long as you tell him such a thing, he will believe it), but...
Pharaoh is definitely not an upright and upright king. What he thought at the beginning was, no matter what, he should use this excuse to keep his sweetheart behind.
After staying, whether it is soft or hard, or subtle, he can play it as he wants.
It is even more impossible to have the guilt of fooling people. After we are together, it is okay to use myself (emphasis) to make up for it and go back?
Therefore, it is understandable that a certain pharaoh worked extraordinarily hard.
When the appointed day came, Ozymandias set up a banquet in the palace early.
No one was around to serve, and no extra guests were invited. This was a wonderful time when only he and the teacher were alone.
"Teacher, this is your favorite wine. There are also wines made by Nefertari and Moses. Come on, it's all ready for you."
"Teacher, why don't you sit next to me? My throne can be shared with you, and this promise works anytime."
"Teacher... I haven't seen you for another year, I really miss you..."
Eddie: "..."
It's annoying!
Did he remember wrongly, this kid is not 26 years old this year, but six years old? !
His goosebumps were coming back.
Resisting the urge to loosen the bones of Ozymandias with his fists, Eddie didn't care about any wine or feast, and said directly with a blank face: "Where's the eagle?"
Ozymandias should feel a little bit disappointed that he was so big standing here and was mercilessly ignored by the "teacher".
However, with a gentle smile on his face, he said, "Of course I found it. It's here, teacher, come and have a look."
He himself sat on the throne without moving, but let Eddie come over by himself, obviously he still had other thoughts.
However, Eddie wouldn't be Eddie if he would listen to him.
Stopping at a place ten meters away from the throne, in front of him was a banquet with various sumptuous dishes and wine glasses.
Eddie poured himself a glass of wine leisurely, not in a hurry now.
He lowered his waist and picked up the wine glass. He didn't even give a glance out of the corner of his eye to a certain pharaoh who wanted to make an inch of it.
The empty cup was thrown down casually and hit the table, making a crisp knocking sound.
"Pretend to be weird. Leave without telling me."
Leaving such an understatement behind, under the shocked eyes of Ozymandias, Eddie turned around and really wanted to leave.
Ozymandias: "!!!"
The Pharaoh, who claims to be in control of everything that happens in the place where the sun shines, obviously can't control the thoughts and actions of his favorite teacher, and almost got out of it.
Fortunately, however.
At the critical moment, the assists that took a year and so much effort to find did not live up to Pharaoh's expectations.
A group of small black shadows emerged from behind the pharaoh, and then, like an eagle catching the trace of its prey, it pulled out a black line in the air with amazing momentum - crookedly.
then.
"Crack."
The black ball hit the back of the man who suddenly stopped with incomparable precision.
The next second, there was another snap.
The ball that flew towards and slipped from the man's back clearly fell miserably to the ground again.
Eddie, who stopped, raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head, and looked down, staying on his heels.
The dumpling that "sneaked up" him was flopping around at his feet.
To describe in more detail-
It was a cub that he might have trampled to death if he wasn't careful.
The black feathers are probably just fully grown and not very hard yet.Oh, and the tail feathers behind the buttocks are only half, almost bald.
Compared with a human being who stands like a mountain after it stops, this young eagle is pitifully small.
When Eddie looked down coldly, the eagle cub was still rolling desperately at his heels, and there was a series of very rapid "chirp chirp" calls from his beak.
It seemed that it really wanted to flap its wings and fly, but it was really dizzy from the head-butting hit earlier.So much so that after rolling for a long time, it only jumped from behind the man's heel to the tip of his shoe.
He flopped a few more times.
The hawk group, which hadn't grown any tail hair, dawdled, flapped its wings, lay on Eddie's shoe, and then remained still.
It was too safe, as if he was not worried about being shaken down by humans at all, and had already made up his mind to settle down here.
Eddie: "..."
There is no doubt that he was relied on.
He just saw the same thick skin as a certain pharaoh from an eagle.
……but.
And not just a resemblance to Ozymandias.
For a brief moment, Eddie thought of Lucas.
The guy was caught by him because he wanted to steal his things.Later, because he thought it was interesting, he was accepted as his younger brother. Not only did his shameless virtue not change, but it even got worse.
Moreover, Lucas also has black feathers.
It seems that he has a preconceived impression, and then he looks at the eagle cub who is still lying on his feet and pretending to be dead, and he is inexplicably more lenient.
There was also a slight movement in my heart.
Now that your heart is moved, then don't hesitate, the standard to satisfy him is to be pleasing to the eye.
Now Eddie saw that the eagle cub was very pleasing to the eye, and he didn't talk too much. He actually condescended to bend down and took the eagle cub into his hands.
Sure enough, it was not as big as his slap.
The eagle escaped from the negative effect of being stunned, but he didn't want to suddenly change the screen and rose to a height of more than one meter.
Mung bean-sized eyes can be seen, and they are also golden.
It stared at the indifferent and terrifying human for a few seconds, then flapped its wings cheerfully.
"Choo Choo Choo!"
Eddie: "Noisy."
The eagle stopped crowing immediately.
Eddie: "Well, sweet."
Holding the eagle in the palm of one hand, he poked the cub's head with the other hand, and unexpectedly knocked it down before he could use any force.
However, the eagle stood up firmly again, but turned its back temporarily and pointed its bare buttocks at him.
Eddie: "..."
Silence, but there was no sullenness in his eyes, but a gentle smile gradually fainted.
Ozymandias, who could no longer wait in secret, walked over, and the first thing he saw was this expression of the man.
A man who has always been arrogant and indifferent, showing a gentleness that has never been shown to the outside world.The greater the contrast, the more it can make him feel fascinated after being surprised.
Then I remembered that this tenderness was not for him, but for a mere eagle——
The Pharaoh's mentality was a little unbalanced again.
Although he could bear it on the surface, secretly, he still deeply engraved this scene in his heart.
"teacher."
Ozymandias, who was unbalanced in his heart, was unwilling to be ignored, and stepped in with a strong posture, declaring his sense of existence: "How is it, are you satisfied?"
Eddie still didn't look at him, and concentrated on poking the little eagle's head with his finger. After a while, he sounded the pharaoh who was eager to see through him temporarily, and said casually: "Barely, make do... so Little one, are you sure it has something to do with the word brave?"
Ozymandias refused to accept it: "Of course! Although it is still a cub now, when it grows up—in the name of Pharaoh, it will definitely be a condor that can bear the word brave."
"It took a year, mobilized tens of millions of people, and traveled almost every inch of land before finally achieving what I wanted."
As he said, his tone of indignation at the beginning slowly changed to the pride that his wish came true as expected: "I said, as long as it is what you want, within the scope of my satisfaction, I will definitely satisfy it." You. If it exceeds my ability, I will do everything possible to make your wish come true."
Eddie heard his words, and although he didn't speak for a while, his expression was slightly moved.
During this year, he didn't show up in front of Ozymandias as before, and he didn't even step into the palace.However, when visiting Nefertari occasionally, it was inevitable to hear what the pharaoh had done.
Eddie had seen, if not seen, the rumors that Ozymandias had worked so hard to do.
He was slightly—just slightly—moved.
Of course, being moved doesn't mean that Eddie can forgive the stupid things Ozymandias said to himself.
It's just because the other party took his casual request so seriously, and one year is actually quite short. As a result, Ozymandias really found him a pleasing to the eye, and it was really very good. Smart eagle.
Well.
Okay, if this kid is really honest and doesn't stop thinking about his teacher, for Eagle's sake...
thought Eddie.
"Give you a name."
The next moment, he announced to the eagle who seemed to be confused in his palm: "From today on, your name is Lucas."
It doesn't matter if Eagle likes the name or not—he likes it anyway.Eddie withdrew his hand, trying to put the eagle cub on his shoulder, but stopped halfway, hesitating whether such a small eagle could hold him so that he would not fall.
Forget it, he changed hands again, and put the eagle that was Lucas from now on into the pocket of his jacket that was blocked by the cloak.
The whole process was clearly seen by Ozymandias, who was always paying attention to him.
—Stay, as promised.
The pharaoh's bright eyes conveyed this message.
At this moment, Eddie finally turned his eyes to the man who had blocked the light in front of him for a long time.
It has to be said that the little touch that had sprouted in his heart before still affects him now.And this, including this year, after seven years, Eddie once again seriously looked at Ozymandias who he watched growing up.
It's still different.
Looking directly at the energetic young pharaoh written all over his body, Eddie couldn't help but think of the young man with disheveled hair, dust and dirt on his face, and stubborn and unwilling eyes in Eddie's mind.
Nostalgia, plus a little sense of accomplishment from witnessing a falcon really transforming into a sky overlord, oh, plus the little touch just now, which made Eddie show alienation and cold eyes , once again softened without a trace.
Whether or not Ozymandias finds out.
At least at this moment, Eddie really left behind the annoyance and concern that the apprentice who was valued failed to live up to his heart, and from the bottom of his heart, he was proud of Ozymandias' excellence.
He was also quite pleased.
Thus, the man who was touched by the soft part of his heart let go of his grudges and stretched out his arms.
"...!"
Ozymandias only had time to show a surprised expression at first.
Just so suddenly, his teacher gave him a hug without any perfunctory existence.
This is... what a surprise.
It's like after getting this hug, I realized that the man's body is not actually cold, but has warmth enough to make people intoxicated.
Ozymandias didn't know until this time that even though he started to catch up when he was out of ignorance in his teens, now, he still can't surpass the height of a man, although he is only a little away.
The tenderness that had been jealous not long ago finally fell on him.The man wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and patted him on the shoulders, not too hard, but with an encouraging gravity.
"Oz."
Because his face was staggered, Ozymandias couldn't see the expression of the man whispering in his ear, but only saw the silvery hair shaking slightly in front of his eyes.He might also hear a smile that he couldn't hide from the call to himself.
"No, Ozymandias."
"you have grown up."
Ozymandias only felt that his heart was throbbing violently at this moment.
Eddie hasn't put the apprentice who seems to be stunned by such a big surprise. After all, he still has some words, and he wants to take the opportunity to say them together while being slightly affected by emotions.
"You kid, you're always clamoring and saying that I'm biased. Well... there's a little bit of it. But, teacher, haven't I been good enough to you in the past?"
"..."
"Talk, are you stupid?"
"...Yes, teacher, you are very good to me."
Ozymandias' voice arrived half a beat late.
On Eddie's side, he also couldn't see the expression of the apprentice who was hugged by him to comfort him. He could only hear the pharaoh, whose voice was getting deeper and deeper, speaking slowly:
"You don't tell me, I can feel it, I can feel it. From the day you recognized me, you have pampered me to the greatest extent every moment."
"The teacher who can clearly treat me as nothing and leave after verifying his guess. The teacher who forgives me and believes what I say..."
Teacher, sometimes you are extremely sharp, and sometimes why are you so dull?
For those he really recognized, he always gave almost unreserved contributions.
He treats his close friends and his apprentices, without exception, with frankness.He will trust them at all times and entrust his trust to them.
He gave everything except what "they" wanted!
So, for such a passionate person, how can he be said to be bad?
Ozymandias knew in his heart that when Eddie mentioned this, his heart softened again.
This man always left a little more expectation for the person he cared about, and it was considered to be an extra chance for him, hoping that he could change his unrealistic thoughts.
"Teacher, you."
"always like this……"
Ozymandias could understand, but guilt rose up in his heart, but was forcibly suppressed by himself in the next moment.
He was doomed to disappoint the teacher who was expecting him.
It is because the teacher is very good and treats him so well - after tasting the most delicious food in the world once, how can we not make this early adopter feel yearning, and then want to go further, and even want to monopolize such a good person?
"Teacher, I have to tell you something very important."
Ozymandias, who had been silent for a while, said suddenly.
Eddie just let him go and was closing his hands when he just replied with a word: "What..."
The remaining unfinished voice was suddenly swallowed by the shadow that fell on his face.
Originally, he gave Ozymandias a hug in the gesture of an elder encouraging the younger, but in a blink of an eye, his position changed, and Ozymandias grabbed his shoulder and pulled it violently.
The faces of the two were firmly pressed together.
The first thing to bump into was the bridge of the nose that didn't take into account the angle, and the feeling of being so sour that I almost forced tears came straight to my mind.
What was pasted afterwards was naturally their lips.
It wasn't just a light post, Ozymandias obviously planned it for a long time.
Patience, after waiting for so many years, how can I be satisfied with simple contact.
Although he couldn't go deep due to time constraints, he finally showed the sharp claws of the beast, feeling the temperature from the man's thin and thin lips, and sucking greedily when he had to separate.
After a moment, parted.
The young pharaoh who finally got the kiss he had been dreaming of for seven years licked the corners of his lips, his eyes almost filled with tenderness: "Teacher."
"To those close to you." He said sincerely—but extremely obtrusive: "Your vigilance is really too weak, too weak."
Eddie: "..."
Eddie: "..."
Eddie (with a blue vein popping out of his forehead): "..."
"Bastard boy.....wasting another second with you, I'm an idiot!!!"
……
——Warmly celebrate a certain pharaoh (on the premise that he was almost beaten to death) successfully achieved the incredible achievement of playing hooligans and stealing his sweetheart for the third time.
Eddie was really going to be pissed off.
Without Nefertari's timely words, he would have treated him as if this apprentice had never existed at all, and he could go wherever he should be free and easy.
"Well, brother... If you can, before you leave, please make up for Ozymandias' gift."
Although Nefertari was also left speechless by her good friend's astonishing trick that could kill her alive, but because of her friendship—and the help of Pharaoh himself who proposed to dissolve her engagement, she decided to save it for him. .
Maybe it was because of this reason that even she couldn't convince herself. Nefertari turned her head and said helplessly: "Because he didn't receive the birthday gift from his brother, he has been unable to relax for so many years, and he has trouble sleeping and eating. If It's too pitiful that I still haven't received it until my brother left..."
It took Eddie a long time to calm down, and it was extremely annoyed to be looked at by Nefertari with pleading eyes.
"Brother, brother, sir?"
Even Lucas, who was still in his pocket, seemed to realize that he was far away from the beloved Pharaoh, so he chirped, feeling very reluctant.
Eddie suddenly became more irritable.
Are both of them reminding him that he can eat people with a soft mouth and short hands?Although he took something, according to his habit, he must return a gift of similar value or better.
Take it and leave, which is really against his usual principles.
"...It's alright, I'll go and prepare a gift for him, and leave after delivering it, that's fine!"
"Thank you, brother." Nefertari was of course very happy.
Eddie looked at her in a blink of an eye, not wanting to worry about Theodos, and asked casually: "Where is Moses? You have only been married for how long, and that kid left you at home and never came back?"
Nefertari's smile stagnated slightly, but soon returned to normal.
"Ah, Moses has gone to his people. I don't mind a little delay."
"Is it."
Although Eddie was a little upset, seeing that Nefertari was not upset, he stopped asking.
He didn't stay in Moses and Nefertari's little house, and almost couldn't wait to leave to prepare gifts for Naochis.
With this little Lucas in his pocket right now, it's impossible to get a normal return gift.
Eddie was going to go a little farther afield to see if he could find some rare gems and make a piece of jewelry for some pharaoh.
Egyptians love gold, but he doesn't.Therefore, even if Ozymandias didn't like this gift, he had to accept it.
As for bracelets, necklaces or earrings, it depends on what kind of gemstones you find.If you don't like it too fancy, it won't be wasted, you can—donate it to the pharaoh's future princess.
Perhaps Eddie himself didn't realize that even though he was so angry by Ozymandias who was going to die on a road of no return, he still wasn't completely heartless.
The place he went was far away, but there was space to transfer, and it didn't take long to go back and forth.
When I left, I didn't find anything wrong, everything was still normal.
However, when Eddie found what he was looking for in a faraway place, he didn't stay long, and set off on his return journey contentedly.
Things have inexplicably gone wrong.
With a glance, he saw that the water in the river had turned into blood, and the dead fish with their white bellies floating on the surface of the water, had a pungent stench that was almost suffocating.
He looked into the distance again, and saw that the fields were full of locusts, and the frogs had jumped onto the ridges of the fields. There was not even a place for people to walk on the road.
Finally, his expression gradually became serious, he raised his head and looked at the sky——
The darkness fell suddenly, like a pitch-black hood, covering the originally rich and bright land.Don't let a ray of light in.
Suddenly, the country ruled by Pharaoh Ozymandias was restless.
Find a hawk.
To be precise, it is to select the most humane and bravest falcon from nearly ten million falcons searched from all over the country.
If it can be sent to the Pharaoh, it is the best eagle after careful selection.But Pharaoh's vision was extremely high, with such a huge number, almost none of them could be seen by him.
"The land that Yu ruled is so vast, can't we find a condor that can satisfy Yu? No, it's too far away, even Yu himself can't see it, how can he be satisfied!"
No one knows why Pharaoh was so angry, or why he was so urgent.In short, as long as Pharaoh didn't say a word of approval, what he wanted would keep coming.

Pharaoh had to find a condor that could be recognized by men during this year. As long as he could find it, the man could consider staying with him as an elder or friend until he died.
Well... there are two important points here.
One is, "can be considered".The man didn't say clearly that he would definitely stay, but in the ears of a certain pharaoh, "can consider" automatically became "will definitely stay".
Two is the same reason.Talking about "elders or friends" - ah, this sentence seems to be said by Pharaoh himself - does not exist, and it is impossible to take it seriously.

Looking directly at the energetic young pharaoh written all over his body, Eddie couldn't help but think of the young man with disheveled hair, dust and dirt on his face, and stubborn and unwilling eyes in Eddie's mind.
Nostalgia, plus a little sense of accomplishment from witnessing a falcon really transforming into a sky overlord, oh, plus the little touch just now, which made Eddie show alienation and cold eyes , once again softened without a trace.
Whether or not Ozymandias finds out.
At least at this moment, Eddie really left behind the annoyance and concern that the apprentice who was valued failed to live up to his heart, and from the bottom of his heart, he was proud of Ozymandias' excellence.
He was also quite pleased.
Thus, the man who was touched by the soft part of his heart let go of his grudges and stretched out his arms.
"...!"
Ozymandias only had time to show a surprised expression at first.
Just so suddenly, his teacher gave him a hug without any perfunctory existence.
This is... what a surprise.
It's like after getting this hug, I realized that the man's body is not actually cold, but has warmth enough to make people intoxicated.
Ozymandias didn't know until this time that even though he started to catch up when he was out of ignorance in his teens, now, he still can't surpass the height of a man, although he is only a little away.
The tenderness that had been jealous not long ago finally fell on him.The man wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and patted him on the shoulders, not too hard, but with an encouraging gravity.
"Oz."
Because his face was staggered, Ozymandias couldn't see the expression of the man whispering in his ear, but only saw the silvery hair shaking slightly in front of his eyes.He might also hear a smile that he couldn't hide from the call to himself.
"No, Ozymandias."
"you have grown up."
Ozymandias only felt that his heart was throbbing violently at this moment.
Eddie hasn't put the apprentice who seems to be stunned by such a big surprise. After all, he still has some words, and he wants to take the opportunity to say them together while being slightly affected by emotions.
"You kid, you're always clamoring and saying that I'm biased. Well... there's a little bit of it. But, teacher, haven't I been good enough to you in the past?"
"..."
"Talk, are you stupid?"
"...Yes, teacher, you are very good to me."
Ozymandias' voice arrived half a beat late.
On Eddie's side, he also couldn't see the expression of the apprentice who was hugged by him to comfort him. He could only hear the pharaoh, whose voice was getting deeper and deeper, speaking slowly:
"You don't tell me, I can feel it, I can feel it. From the day you recognized me, you have pampered me to the greatest extent every moment."
"The teacher who can clearly treat me as nothing and leave after verifying his guess. The teacher who forgives me and believes what I say..."
Teacher, sometimes you are extremely sharp, and sometimes why are you so dull?
For those he really recognized, he always gave almost unreserved contributions.
He treats his close friends and his apprentices, without exception, with frankness.He will trust them at all times and entrust his trust to them.
He gave everything except what "they" wanted!
So, for such a passionate person, how can he be said to be bad?
Ozymandias knew in his heart that when Eddie mentioned this, his heart softened again.
This man always left a little more expectation for the person he cared about, and it was considered to be an extra chance for him, hoping that he could change his unrealistic thoughts.
"Teacher, you."
"always like this……"
Ozymandias could understand, but guilt rose up in his heart, but was forcibly suppressed by himself in the next moment.
He was doomed to disappoint the teacher who was expecting him.
It is because the teacher is very good and treats him so well - after tasting the most delicious food in the world once, how can we not make this early adopter feel yearning, and then want to go further, and even want to monopolize such a good person?
"Teacher, I have to tell you something very important."
Ozymandias, who had been silent for a while, said suddenly.
Eddie just let him go and was closing his hands when he just replied with a word: "What..."
The remaining unfinished voice was suddenly swallowed by the shadow that fell on his face.
Originally, he gave Ozymandias a hug in the gesture of an elder encouraging the younger, but in a blink of an eye, his position changed, and Ozymandias grabbed his shoulder and pulled it violently.
The faces of the two were firmly pressed together.
The first thing to bump into was the bridge of the nose that didn't take into account the angle, and the feeling of being so sour that I almost forced tears came straight to my mind.
What was pasted afterwards was naturally their lips.
It wasn't just a light post, Ozymandias obviously planned it for a long time.
Patience, after waiting for so many years, how can I be satisfied with simple contact.
Although he couldn't go deep due to time constraints, he finally showed the sharp claws of the beast, feeling the temperature from the man's thin and thin lips, and sucking greedily when he had to separate.
After a moment, parted.
The young pharaoh who finally got the kiss he had been dreaming of for seven years licked the corners of his lips, his eyes almost filled with tenderness: "Teacher."
"To those close to you." He said sincerely—but extremely obtrusive: "Your vigilance is really too weak, too weak."
Eddie: "..."
Eddie: "..."
Eddie (with a blue vein popping out of his forehead): "..."
"Bastard boy.....wasting another second with you, I'm an idiot!!!"
……
——Warmly celebrate a certain pharaoh (on the premise that he was almost beaten to death) successfully achieved the incredible achievement of playing hooligans and stealing his sweetheart for the third time.
Eddie was really going to be pissed off.
Without Nefertari's timely words, he would have treated him as if this apprentice had never existed at all, and he could go wherever he should be free and easy.
"Well, brother... If you can, before you leave, please make up for Ozymandias' gift."
Although Nefertari was also left speechless by her good friend's astonishing trick that could kill her alive, but because of her friendship—and the help of Pharaoh himself who proposed to dissolve her engagement, she decided to save it for him. .
Maybe it was because of this reason that even she couldn't convince herself. Nefertari turned her head and said helplessly: "Because he didn't receive the birthday gift from his brother, he has been unable to relax for so many years, and he has trouble sleeping and eating. If It's too pitiful that I still haven't received it until my brother left..."
It took Eddie a long time to calm down, and it was extremely annoyed to be looked at by Nefertari with pleading eyes.
"Brother, brother, sir?"
Even Lucas, who was still in his pocket, seemed to realize that he was far away from the beloved Pharaoh, so he chirped, feeling very reluctant.
Eddie suddenly became more irritable.
Are both of them reminding him that he can eat people with a soft mouth and short hands?Although he took something, according to his habit, he must return a gift of similar value or better.
Take it and leave, which is really against his usual principles.
"...It's alright, I'll go and prepare a gift for him, and leave after delivering it, that's fine!"
"Thank you, brother." Nefertari was of course very happy.
Eddie looked at her in a blink of an eye, not wanting to worry about Theodos, and asked casually: "Where is Moses? You have only been married for how long, and that kid left you at home and never came back?"
Nefertari's smile stagnated slightly, but soon returned to normal.
"Ah, Moses has gone to his people. I don't mind a little delay."
"Is it."
Although Eddie was a little upset, seeing that Nefertari was not upset, he stopped asking.
He didn't stay in Moses and Nefertari's little house, and almost couldn't wait to leave to prepare gifts for Naochis.
With this little Lucas in his pocket right now, it's impossible to get a normal return gift.
Eddie was going to go a little farther afield to see if he could find some rare gems and make a piece of jewelry for some pharaoh.
Egyptians love gold, but he doesn't.Therefore, even if Ozymandias didn't like this gift, he had to accept it.
As for bracelets, necklaces or earrings, it depends on what kind of gemstones you find.If you don't like it too fancy, it won't be wasted, you can—donate it to the pharaoh's future princess.
Perhaps Eddie himself didn't realize that even though he was so angry by Ozymandias who was going to die on a road of no return, he still wasn't completely heartless.
The place he went was far away, but there was space to transfer, and it didn't take long to go back and forth.
When I left, I didn't find anything wrong, everything was still normal.
However, when Eddie found what he was looking for in a faraway place, he didn't stay long, and set off on his return journey contentedly.
Things have inexplicably gone wrong.
With a glance, he saw that the water in the river had turned into blood, and the dead fish with their white bellies floating on the surface of the water, had a pungent stench that was almost suffocating.
He looked into the distance again, and saw that the fields were full of locusts, and the frogs had jumped onto the ridges of the fields. There was not even a place for people to walk on the road.
Finally, his expression gradually became serious, he raised his head and looked at the sky——
The darkness fell suddenly, like a pitch-black hood, covering the originally rich and bright land.Don't let a ray of light in.
Suddenly, the country ruled by Pharaoh Ozymandias was restless.
