There must be a very deliberate reason why he didn't want to see this powerful general.
★★★★★★★★★
"You want to see me?" Tusasita walked slowly into Alnis's inner hall, and looked at the man on the couch with a thin blanket, which was summer but still needed to be covered with a smile. The golden sun scattered from Alnis' thin shoulders On his pale neck, the gentle and beautiful face shone with a light golden halo.
Hearing the movement, he was about to get up and salute, but saw Tusasita waved his hand, and Alnis sat down and nodded. "My lord, the day after tomorrow is the New Year's ceremony, is everything going well?"
"It's going well. The key is that you can come back to Thebes this year to preside over the Nile Sacrifice Ceremony in person. Not only are the ministers and I happy, but the whole Thebes is overjoyed." The gorgeous pectorals were left aside, and they came directly after receiving the foreign envoys from the main hall, and they had not changed out of their luxurious and heavy dresses.
With a charming smile on his pale and handsome face, he looked at Tusasita, who was busy with the ceremony, and said with concern: "The annual grand ceremony is important, but the king's body is even more important. Please don't overwork yourself." , You must take care of your body."
Smiling and nodding, he leaned sideways onto the large couch, pulled a cushion and stuffed it under his elbow, and asked, "What's the matter?"
He closed his eyes lightly, and there was silence.After a while, he said softly, "After the ceremony is over, I want to leave Thebes immediately."
Slightly startled, his brows were unconsciously frowned, and the tone of his mouth was half questioning, half pleading. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? It's hard to come back once. Wouldn't it be better to stay a few more days?"
As for his blood relatives in this world, Arnis couldn't look directly at Sasita's earnest face, sighed and looked towards the window, his eyes were squinted by the bright and dazzling sunlight, and he replied leisurely: "The king , I shouldn’t have come back. If it wasn’t for Yuebai, I wouldn’t have returned to Thebes at all. Now that I’ve met her, I don’t need to stay any longer, it’s better to return to Memphis as soon as possible.”
Rubbing the center of his eyebrows with his fingertips, once Alnis, who seemed as warm as water, became stubborn, no one could convince him at all.Helplessly sighed, Shen Sheng. "I can't keep you, well, when you want to leave, I'll let them prepare everything for you."
"There is one more thing I want to tell the king."
"what's up?"
"I want to take Yuebai...to leave together."
"what!"
"My lord, Yuebai can't stay in Thebes." The fleeting light in Tusasita's eyes couldn't escape his eyes, and there was something worrying for Arnis hidden in that astonished gaze.
Sitting upright, her gloomy eyes were fixed on Alnis's face. The breeze by the window shook the strands of hair on her shoulders, and the sun wrapped her black hair shining in the restless hair, just like her pupils. Metal-like hard luster, indifferent, gloomy, not easy to capture. "What do you mean she can't stay in Thebes? Arnis, please explain clearly to me."
Averting his gaze stung by the sun, he glanced at the maids in the room. Under his gaze, the maids bowed and left the room, and the last maid turned and closed the door.
The inner hall, which was already quiet, was extraordinarily quiet because there were only the two of them left, like a lake suddenly frozen in winter snow.
His eyes fell on Tusasita's body leisurely, her silent condensed breath made the air in the room a little sluggish, and the extreme displeasure emanating from her stiff back made the pair of sharp brown eyebrows even more beautiful. serious.
Deeply, with a long sigh, facing such a Tusa Sita, he actually felt somewhat exhausted. "Wang, before I explain the reason, please listen to me tell you a story."
Silent, his eyes flashed, and he nodded gloomyly.
"This story begins when the ancient creation god divided the chaotic world into three realms..."
Chapter 22
"When the world was created, the gods divided the heaven and the earth into three realms. The supreme gods lived in the heaven and the underworld, while in the human world, everything is boundless, and all living beings reincarnate endlessly. The sun god Rui-Amon is the king of the heaven, and the king of the underworld is naturally Ossi. Rees, and you are the pharaoh in this world. There is only one person in this world whose soul can directly enter the kingdom of heaven after death and enjoy eternal life with the gods, that is you---my king. And After the death of other people, including me, our souls must first come to the underworld, and Osiris, the king of the underworld, will judge our good and evil deeds in our life and decide whether we should enter the kingdom of heaven to obtain eternal life, or stay in the underworld to suffer endless torture. Osiris, the king of the underworld, entrusted his son with the heavy responsibility of measuring people's hearts... Anubis (the god of death with a jackal head and a human body, the leader of the undead, and the patron saint of spiritual scales), because he believed that Anubis was an upright and selfless man. God of death." Speaking of this, there was a slight change in Arnis's clear eyes, and his eyes lightly swept across the portrait of Anubis on the wall, and the exquisite scroll trembled slightly in a very strange way. wind.
Tusasita's eyes were always on Arnis's face, with calm brown pupils, quietly unable to distinguish the slightest emotion.
"Anubis used a 'spiritual scale' to weigh people's hearts, but he couldn't find a fair weight to accurately measure good and evil. When he was troubled, the goddess Maat (the god of justice and order, the only one who had Feathered young goddess, daughter of Sun Rui, whose name implies true justice and order) gave Anubis a white feather from her wing, placed Maat's feather on one end of the scale, and the dead man's heart On the other hand, if the heart is heavier than the feathers, then the person must have committed blasphemy or other evil deeds, and he must go to hell to suffer. If the heart weighs as much as the feathers, the person can enter the kingdom of heaven and receive Eternal life. The goddess of Maat is the goddess of justice, she represents the order of selflessness and justice, with her feathers, Anubis can correctly measure the good and evil of the heart, and he easily completed the Task."
"Goddess Mart..." She said lightly, her eyes sparkling slightly.
"Wang, do you remember? She is the youngest goddess among the gods. She is often ignored because she is too young. However, she has a heart of justice that no one can match. Her name is justice and justice." Synonymous with order."
His eyes flickered, and he nodded.Of course she remembered the goddess Maat, because this goddess was too young to be conspicuous among the many ancient gods in Egypt.
Seeing her nodding, Arnis continued: "The good times didn't last long. As time went by, Anubis maintained himself as the son of Pluto, and the only god between the night and the dawn state. The increasingly powerful The divine power and power made him more and more arrogant. Slowly, he forgot his mission and was bought by the evil spirits who came to the underworld. Anubis tampered with the calculation results of the spiritual scale without authorization, and released the wicked. Enter the kingdom of heaven and send good people to hell. Matt knew about this, and she told Osiris that Pluto deprived his son of the divine right in a rage, and pushed him into the endless sea of reincarnation, expecting him to be able to Realize the way of good and evil in reincarnation."
Looking away from Alnis's face, the long veil hanging quietly by the window perched in the western light of the sun, quiet and beautiful like a graceful girl snuggling by the window.This kind of scenery hides a sense of familiarity that Tusasita feels familiar. He gently turned his eyes away and continued to listen in silence.
"Mate felt guilty when she heard about this. She didn't expect that Anubis would be punished so severely. The guilty goddess Maat voluntarily threw herself into the world and entered the endless cycle of reincarnation. Originally, when the story reached here, it should be It's over. However, when Anubis was cast into the mortal world, he vowed to find Maat and kill her. After experiencing the endless cycle of life and death, Anubis' resentment continued unabated. Every time In the reincarnation, he searched hard for Ma Te in the vast crowd and tried to kill her to avenge himself." As if tired, he sighed a long time, raised his pale face, and smiled sickly.
"Yuebai...is she--Mate?" Although it was a question, it was spoken in an affirmative tone, and the suppressed shock and horror were conveyed in the neutral voice.
Nodding, laughing, mostly helpless. "Yes. When Yuebai first came to our world, I already noticed something strange, so I wanted to see her with my own eyes. When I heard her say that she had picked up a scarab with a whole body red before crossing, I was even more sure. Four important things were passed down from generation to generation by the Egyptian high priest, one is the scroll that recorded the story, and the other is the amulet to protect Maat from being found by Anubis , and the other two are the holy blood beetle that sealed Anubis' power and the spell to unseal it, "
Raising her eyebrows, her eyes darkened, she quickly digested the huge shock she felt when she first heard that Xia Yuebai was an Egyptian goddess, and suppressed a bunch of complicated emotions that were overgrown like weeds, she decisively expressed the doubts in her heart. "In this way, it is definitely not accidental that Yuebai came here. It should be caused by Anubis. But you didn't say that there was a protective spell to protect Maat from being found by Anubis. Why was she found again? gone?"
With a long and weak sigh, he lowered his head guiltily, and said slowly: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault for this weak body, it's getting more and more difficult for this dying body to maintain the protective spell, it must be because of the enchantment. The loophole gave Anubis an opportunity to recall Mat who was reincarnated in another world as Xia Yuebai."
Reaching out to hold the hand on his lap, the cold hand, even in summer, did not feel too much body temperature, Tusasita felt uncomfortable, and there were some bitter shadows between his brows. "Alnis, I can't blame you, you have tried your best."
Shaking his head with a wry smile, the loose long hair was draped over his shoulders, forming a lonely black shadow in the summer wind with a slight fragrance of flowers, showing that Arnis's thin body was showing exhaustion that could not be concealed.
After pondering, Shu Er spoke softly, with worried eyes. "King, even though Anubis was reincarnated as an ordinary person, he is still a god. His power was much stronger than I imagined. Don't talk about me now, even if I am healthy, I am definitely not him. opponent. If he can find a way to undo the seal on his body, then there will be no peace in this world. "
"Where is that holy blood beetle now?" Xia Yuebai will meet the holy object that sealed Anubis in the future. Could it be that the holy blood beetle has been lost?It was sent to Xia Yuebai's world by Anubis through some mysterious method, so as to build a bridge connecting the two worlds.
Frowning, he replied, "It's here with me."
Brown eyes flashed with golden mottled, fiery color and dangerous temperature. "Where did that holy blood beetle that appeared in Moon White World come from?"
"That's the shadow of the Holy Blood Beetle. Everything has its own reflection, just like standing by the water and seeing the reflection on the water surface is the same." He raised his hand, the palm hung on the gold cup on the low table, and his fingertips lightly The water in the cup suddenly rippled, and the water surface went from slightly rippling to trembling, step by step. The jumping and rolling water droplets were penetrated by the sunlight, and the crystal clear shadows were refracted on the table. .
As Arnis closed his hand, water drops fell into the cup together, and everything became quiet again, as if what happened just now was an illusion.
Tusasita was not surprised by the phenomenon before her eyes. Since she was a child, she had seen Arnis's ability different from ordinary people many times. Towards the road of killing and stamping full of blood.
Because of the use of strength, a chill came over, forcing Alnis to cough a few times, and his unsteady body was supported by the hand stretched out by Tusasita. He leaned on her arm and said with a little breath: "Can the holy The reflection of the blood beetle, as the intermediary between the two worlds, ahem... so as to bring the white moon to our world, the power of Anubis should not be underestimated. Think about it, Wang, if he unlocks the Seal, who else in this world can stop him?"
"I'll stop him."
Suddenly startled, the originally weak and drooping eyelids suddenly opened, and the eyes were full of panic and uneasiness. "King, he is a god, the god of Egypt... Fighting against the gods, even you, will offend the gods. Especially Osiris, he can exile his son, but he will not allow anyone to hurt Anubis. "
"What about gods? What about people? If he appears in front of me, I will respect him as a god; however, if he ignores my advice and insists on killing Yuebai, I will regard him as an enemy. God, I can kill you as well."
"King! You----"
"Alnis, now you and Yuebai will stay in Thebes, this is the safest place." Interrupting him, helping him to lean on the cushion, pulling a blanket to cover him, Tusasita was neat and tidy The tone was not asking for advice, it was clearly an order.
Anxious eyes stared straight into those calm and indifferent eyes, and there was no trace of panic and confusion in her calm eyes, and Arnis's worry suddenly escalated into anxiety. "My lord, have you thought about the price of being an enemy of God?"
"The price..." He frowned, as if he was thinking, or just paused.For a moment, a wicked smile appeared in her eyes, like a naughty child. "How much price did I pay to sit on the throne of Egyptian Pharaoh? We all know it clearly. At that time, did we shrink back because of these costs? Alnis, you are talking to me now, don't think it is too absurd Yet?"
"The situation at the beginning was a last resort. If the eldest prince and other princes and nobles hadn't joined forces to kill me, you wouldn't, wouldn't..." The trembling lips squirmed a few times, and the dry throat seemed to be stuck. The root thorn, the vivid past, the bloody memory engraved with the sadness that will never be washed away... Brothers and sisters killed each other, slaughtered the palace curtain, bloodbathed the dynasty... It was all just to protect his insignificant life.
He got up, walked to the window, and closed the window for Alnis who was weak and unable to blow the wind, blocking the evening wind blowing from the courtyard with the vapor of the Nile River.
Putting on the golden window frame with one hand, looking through the gap in the window edge to look at the exquisite courtyard with brilliant sunset, the sparkling pool water filled with glow like fire, silently stained with resolute and cold eyes, another coquettish and arrogant The fire burned fiercely in the golden pupil. "In my eyes, there is only success or failure, no price. If you succeed, any price is worth it; if you fail, you don't have to go after what you have paid." Turning around, leaning against the window with his arms folded, he said calmly: "Okay, the most important thing right now is to protect Yuebai's safety. Besides here, can you find a place that is safer than the palace?"
Speechless, frowning. "Wang is right, this is indeed the safest and most reliable place."
He smiled and let out a sigh of relief. "That's fine, you can live here with peace of mind, and notify me immediately if you find anything unusual. I'll take care of other things."
"Speaking of strangeness, a strange force has been gradually approaching Thebes recently, but... it sometimes disappears, and I can't see it clearly." A few days ago, he sensed this mysterious force from nowhere. Knowing its existence, I couldn't even find out the ins and outs of it.
"Pay close attention, if Anubis really came, he can't escape your eyes."
nod. "I hope it's just me being ill and making a mistake."
He wanted to laugh, but in the end he just held the corners of his mouth, watching Arnis's paler and paler face, but he could only stand by and watch, this kind of powerless frustration can really drive people crazy.
Closing her eyes, Tusasita was silent for a moment, looked up at the person on the couch, and said, "Yuebai doesn't know about these things yet, so keep her secret from her for now, lest she be afraid."
"Alright." Nodding, I don't know how much that little girl can understand such mysterious things that cannot be explained clearly... I was summoned from one world to another, and suddenly changed from an ordinary girl to an Egyptian goddess. A god of death who has been chasing and killing her for several lifetimes appeared, and these incredible things were mixed together, and no one could accept all of them in a short period of time.
Looking at the figure in the backlight by the window, the pink-purple sunset glides past her, if it wasn't for the leisurely shaking of the skirt, you would mistakenly think that it is just a statue leaning in the shadow by the window.
"Wang, do you... like Yuebai?" Actually, whether you ask or not, the answer is already clear at a glance.
"..."
"Alnis offended the king, please forgive me." Nodding his head, he spoke humbly.
"You didn't offend me, I was just thinking that your question was missing the point."
Smile with gentle eyes. "Oh? Ask the king to enlighten me."
"It's not whether you like it or not, but to what extent."
Such unscrupulous and presumptuous arrogance surprised him a little. "Wang... aren't you worried?"
"Of course I'm worried." With a smile, a flash of meteor-like dark light flowed from her eyes that were shining in the shadows.
"Are you worried that Yuebai is Maite's reincarnation, or are you worried that she won't stay here after knowing the truth?"
"No, I'm not worried about these." Sighing, looking sideways, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that the torches in the courtyard had been lit, and the meandering lights of the fire created another scene in the courtyard. "I'm just worried whether her feelings for me are the same as mine."
"My lord, since when did you have the subtle emotions of a little woman, and start worrying about other people's thoughts?" Relaxed body snuggled into the soft cushion, soft eyebrows and eyes with thick Smiling, looking at my sister who has always been resolute and resolute, I didn't expect her to be troubled by emotions. I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Yeah, when did it start..." whispered, talking to himself like the wind.
The love given by the Queen of Egypt is a burden. Once accepted, it cannot be unloaded or escaped. It is a heavy feeling that ordinary people cannot bear.
Because... Love is always a burden.
And Tusasita's love embodies the fate of a country's prosperity and decline. How many people in the world can bear such a heavy love?
Because of this, he knew that Tusasita never showed love easily, let alone indulged in emotional whirlpools.After Su Nisi's betrayal, her self-discipline and self-control seemed to be unreasonably harsh.
Sometimes, Arnis even felt that Tusasita had forgotten how to love. She was indifferent and calm like a noble stone that could only give orders. Everything that happened around her could hardly touch her cold and resolute soul.
Until the appearance of the little girl Xia Yuebai, everything changed subtly.
"Your Highness, Miss Xia, please see me." The maid's voice sounded outside the door.
The person who was talking about it appeared, and it was neither too early nor too late.Straightening up, Arnis said to the door, "Let her in."
"I'm leaving." Glancing at the door, he frowned slightly.
Smile, very casual. "Wang, don't you want to sit down for a while?"
"Mycenae's envoy will arrive tonight, and there will be a welcome banquet tonight."
"The Mycenaeans probably haven't arrived at the palace yet, so why is the king leaving in such a hurry?" Arnis didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity to catch Tusasita's weakness, and his smiling face Uplifting the brilliance of narrowness.
Raising eyebrows, the light in the bottom of the eyes flickered, helpless. "Ask knowingly."
Don't embarrass her anymore, nod towards her back as she strode away, and exhort with concern. "King, please drink less wine at the dinner."
"En." Without looking back, he responded casually, walking hastily.
Two doors were opened in front of your eyes, Xia Yuebai outside the door was holding a few scrolls, Tusasita walked past her without stopping.
Seeing Tusasita in a dress coming out, Xia Yuebai suddenly smiled and said softly to her: "The Mycenaean envoy will be here soon, I will return these to Alnis, and I will go back and change clothes soon, Go to the main hall for the dinner."
Standing still, speaking expressionlessly, his eyes swept over the things in her hand, but he didn't look at her. "You don't need to go, stay in the palace honestly, don't run around."
In an instant, the bright smile on his face froze at the corner of his lips, and he stood by the door and looked at Tusasita who was about to leave, and complained: "We agreed yesterday, as long as you finish copying the documents, you can go to the main hall to accompany you to meet the envoys." Tuan, why did you suddenly change your mind again? No, I'm going."
"I said," the footsteps that had just started stopped again, turned his head, his eyes were deep, and his voice was also true. "Stay in the palace, don't you hear?"
"You----" staring, his nose could breathe fire with anger.
Just in time, Alnis' voice came from inside the house. "Yuebai, why are you standing at the door, it's hot outside, come in quickly."
"Okay." Responding to the room, he turned his head to look at the empty corridor, only rows of torches swaying wildly in the evening wind, and winked at the empty corridor and whispered angrily: "If you don't go, you won't go." , face-changing monster!"
Then, holding the heavy scroll, just stepping over the threshold, he pouted and shouted coquettishly: "Arnis, who is messing with that stinky queen again? She won't let me see the envoys, what should I do?" ? You can help me think about it!"
Arnis sat on the couch, shook his head with a helpless smile, raised his eyes, and the long golden curtain that shielded the wind was lifted, revealing a beautiful face with sullenness.
It really makes sense to drop one thing after another.
Chapter 23
The time in the middle of the night should be used to sleep well, but once again, Xia Yuebai suffered from insomnia.
Leaning on the bed, holding a bowl full of grapes, throwing them into his mouth one by one, chewing on the sweet and juicy grapes, and looking at the door from time to time.
It was very quiet outside, everyone went to bed except myself.
The welcome dinner held for the Mycenaean mission was said to be very lively, because he was told that he could not attend, so Xia Yuebai could only feel a little bit of "lively" atmosphere from the elated descriptions of the maids.
In the evening, when I saw Tusasita at Alnis's place, the two hurriedly met, and she didn't even look at herself.In a few or two sentences, the tone was as blunt as treating a statusless slave, and she changed her mind about what she had said, and even ordered her to stay in the harem and not run around.
The speed of the face-changing speed of this uncertain woman is simply unprepared.
Alnis said that the New Year's ceremony is coming soon, and there are too many things to do in Tusasita, and there is another movement near Syria.Therefore, the temper of the Egyptian queen today is not very good.
Even if he was unlucky, he didn't pick an auspicious day to go out, and bumped into this black-faced Rakshasa.
Swallowing the delicate pulp, he picked up a grape with full purple skin from the bowl and put it in his mouth, then glanced at the door again, unconsciously.
Tusahita hadn't returned yet.
Two hours ago, the maid said that the dinner party was over, half an hour would be enough to walk from the main hall of the main palace back to the Amon Palace, why hasn't she come back yet?Could it be that he went to Nanyuan, is there anything else to do at this late hour?
The grapes in my mouth were suddenly not as sweet as before, and there was still a hint of sourness.
Sighing, I put the bowl on the bed, walked barefoot to the window, climbed the wide window sill, and looked up at the sky.
Thick black, because there is no moon, this kind of night looks a bit dull, but it completes a bright and wonderful star above the head... The stars in the sky are twinkling and shining on each other, and the fireflies are tiny, but because they are earnestly and persistently blooming The light, on the contrary, turned those insignificant rays of light into breathtaking beauty.
Night Breeze lifted the long hair on his shoulders and flew up together.
In fact, I don't blame Tusasita for not allowing her to attend the dinner party. She doesn't like lively places, but she is curious about Mycenae, which gave birth to the famous Greek civilization in later generations, so she wants to take a look. .
What made me really uneasy was the indifferent look that Tusasita looked back at while standing on the porch.She had never seen such indifferent and distant eyes even when they first met.
Is it true that, as Alnis said, is Tusasita troubled by many things that have happened recently?Or, what troubles her... In fact, it is related to herself.
Shaking his head, he immediately rejected the idea.It's ridiculous, what can I have to worry about the Queen of Egypt.I was an out-and-out foreigner in ancient Egypt. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, I just copied books, so I couldn't provoke things that would upset Tusahita.
Laughing at her own foolishness, Xia Yuebai leaned on the window sill, stretched her neck and looked back and forth towards the yard. The grotesque shadows shook to the ground in the night wind, and the chirping of insects was accompanied by the sound of running water. It makes this exquisite courtyard a little lonely.
With a long sigh, he withdrew his gaze and turned away from the window.
★★★★★★★★★
"You are going to host the Nile River Sacrifice tomorrow. They said that all the priests in Thebes will participate. I didn't expect that there are more than 1000 priests here. The River Sacrifice must be very spectacular." Xia Yuebai lay on the soft couch , holding his chin with his hands, just imagining a thousand priests praying for the flood of the Nile at the same time, such a scene is enough to make the atheist himself realize the importance of gods to the ancient Egyptians.
Alnis sat cross-legged, facing the window with a pale face, staring at the sky outside the window, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Arnis, are you nervous?" Looking at the silent young man, Alnis was surprisingly quiet today. He didn't talk much before, but today he is as stingy as gold.
For a long while, he didn't move at all, his eyes were narrowed, a faint beam of light disappeared from the bottom of those brown eyes, and he remained silent.
Frowning slightly, facing the silent Alnis, Xia Yuebai felt that he seemed a little weird.
The gentle breeze moved the paintings on the wall, and the slight rattling sound was the sound of the scrolls rubbing against the wall.
Arnis' eyes moved slowly, as if attracted by the movement of the painting scroll, his brows gradually frowned. At the moment when the portrait of Anubis with wolf head and human body was swaying in the warm wind, Arnis's The brows became tighter and tighter.
"He is coming." Suddenly, he said something inexplicable.
Following his line of sight, he glanced at the paintings on the wall.It's just an ordinary portrait, which is Anubis, the leader of the undead and the god of death. This kind of scroll depicting ancient Egyptian gods can be seen everywhere in the palace.Looking at Alnis again, he asked in confusion, "Who is coming?"
"……soon."
"Alnis, what are you talking about? Who wants to come to Thebes?" The answer was not what she asked, or he didn't hear what she was asking at all.
"..." The eyes that looked straight at the scroll, a faint light flashed across, and fell into silence again. He stared at the front without moving, but his eyes were empty.
"What's wrong with you, Arnis?" He raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, but he didn't respond at all, he didn't even blink his eyelids, and looked directly at the portrait with a worried expression, just like the one in the painting. Anubis would suddenly step down.
"The wind ignited the flames of war that should be extinguished, a big fire... a dangerous fire... a black... flame." Silently, the voice was very low, revealing an irreparable sadness, the eyes that were still empty just now Suddenly there was a terrified look in his eyes that suddenly collapsed and trembled for some reason.
"Black flame?" Puzzled, frowning.Suddenly, I remembered that everyone said that the high priest had some kind of natural ability to see through the secrets. Xia Yuebai never believed in superpowers. Such things are really not convincing.
However, thinking of all the adventures she experienced, she really has no reason to deny other incredible supernatural phenomena. "Alnis, did you see something?"
Suddenly, his eyes flickered, and the gentle and rippling light returned to his eyes, faintly illuminating his empty eyes just now. "...No, I didn't see it."
"You just said that the flames of war are rekindled, do you mean that Egypt is going to war again? With whom? Is it Libya or Syria?" A lot of questions came out of my heart, and I heard Arnis whisper a few hidden secrets as if his soul had come out of his body. , the half-knowledgeable Xia Yuebai fell into a state of bewilderment, and the messy sense of urgency made her even more restless.
"..."
"Alnis." He called out to him, why did he feel as if he was no longer in the room? What was going on with this illusion?
For a moment, he smiled at her, with a pale smile and an extremely tired face. "Yuebai, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."
Frowning, her lips moved, and the words that had slipped to her lips were abruptly swallowed back. Today's Arnis is too weird, so weird that she didn't know what to do. "Okay, you rest, I'm going back."
"Yuebai!" Shouted loudly, stopping her footsteps.
"What's the matter?" Turning around, he looked at the young man on the couch with a tired look on his face, and asked softly.
"No matter what happens, you must... trust the king."
"What's going to happen?" She looked into his eyes, those brown eyes very similar to Tusasita's, filled with uneasiness that he hesitated to speak, what was he so uneasy about?
"I'm talking if... just, a hypothesis."
"Well, why make assumptions, Alnis, are you hiding something from me?" He looked straight into his eyes, searching for any suspicious clues.However, those beautiful long and narrow eyes are as quiet as a sun-shrouded lake, clear and clean, the chaotic eyes that were surging in the dark light just now disappeared, and the high priest of ancient Egypt returned to the gentle and jade-like appearance of the past , even the smile is appropriately noble and handsome.
"Silly girl, what can I hide from you. I just hope that no matter when and where, you can trust the king, and she will definitely protect you." She raised her face slightly, watching Xia Yuebai who passed by the sun, Seeing the expression of doubt and disbelief on her face, she smiled.
He lowered his eyes, knowing that he was hiding something from him, but he didn't want to ask clearly. I don't know if this kind of evasive mentality is because of his limited ability to solve any problems; or because he has been in this ancient world for too long. , the state of mind longing for the truth has become more and more blurred; or she is used to living without caring about the world, because she knows that there is someone who will definitely protect herself from the ups and downs...
How can I be so sure, this seemingly ridiculous self-confidence, where does it come from?
Seeing that she was silent, her brows were entwined with confusion and doubt, her black hair hung down her face, slightly covering the thin outline of her cheeks.
After a long time, Xia Yuebai felt that her legs were stiff. She looked away, and cast her flickering eyes to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Then, at the moment when the thick greenery outside the window sent a burst of colorful fragrance, she smiled brightly and looked towards the window. in the direction of Alnis.
"I trust Tusahita."
The originally dark brown eyes flashed a bright and gratifying color strangely in the next instant. "That's good."
"You have a good rest, I'm leaving first."
Smiling and nodding, watching the unhurried figure disappear by the door, Alnis relaxed his tense shoulders, and fell limply backwards, with his weak body supported by the soft cushion behind him, a burst of violent The cough rushed out of the throat, and the whole person trembled like a leaf that could not stand the autumn wind amidst the series of uncontrollable coughs.
The maids standing outside the door rushed into the room, brought water and medicine, and handed the towel soaked in cold water to Alnis. Everything was done quietly and quickly, in an orderly manner without anyone panicking.However, the deep worry suppressed in their eyes made these young and beautiful faces covered with deep anxiety.

Putting down the information sent by the border, Tusasita got up, walked around the desk, and walked slowly to

"You want to see me?" Tusasita walked slowly into Alnis's inner hall, and looked at the man on the couch with a thin blanket, which was summer but still needed to be covered with a smile. The golden sun scattered from Alnis' thin shoulders On his pale neck, the gentle and beautiful face shone with a light golden halo.
Hearing the movement, he was about to get up and salute, but saw Tusasita waved his hand, and Alnis sat down and nodded. "My lord, the day after tomorrow is the New Year's ceremony, is everything going well?"
"It's going well. The key is that you can come back to Thebes this year to preside over the Nile Sacrifice Ceremony in person. Not only are the ministers and I happy, but the whole Thebes is overjoyed." The gorgeous pectorals were left aside, and they came directly after receiving the foreign envoys from the main hall, and they had not changed out of their luxurious and heavy dresses.
With a charming smile on his pale and handsome face, he looked at Tusasita, who was busy with the ceremony, and said with concern: "The annual grand ceremony is important, but the king's body is even more important. Please don't overwork yourself." , You must take care of your body."
Smiling and nodding, he leaned sideways onto the large couch, pulled a cushion and stuffed it under his elbow, and asked, "What's the matter?"
He closed his eyes lightly, and there was silence.After a while, he said softly, "After the ceremony is over, I want to leave Thebes immediately."
Slightly startled, his brows were unconsciously frowned, and the tone of his mouth was half questioning, half pleading. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? It's hard to come back once. Wouldn't it be better to stay a few more days?"
As for his blood relatives in this world, Arnis couldn't look directly at Sasita's earnest face, sighed and looked towards the window, his eyes were squinted by the bright and dazzling sunlight, and he replied leisurely: "The king , I shouldn’t have come back. If it wasn’t for Yuebai, I wouldn’t have returned to Thebes at all. Now that I’ve met her, I don’t need to stay any longer, it’s better to return to Memphis as soon as possible.”
Rubbing the center of his eyebrows with his fingertips, once Alnis, who seemed as warm as water, became stubborn, no one could convince him at all.Helplessly sighed, Shen Sheng. "I can't keep you, well, when you want to leave, I'll let them prepare everything for you."
"There is one more thing I want to tell the king."
"what's up?"
"I want to take Yuebai...to leave together."
"what!"
"My lord, Yuebai can't stay in Thebes." The fleeting light in Tusasita's eyes couldn't escape his eyes, and there was something worrying for Arnis hidden in that astonished gaze.
Sitting upright, her gloomy eyes were fixed on Alnis's face. The breeze by the window shook the strands of hair on her shoulders, and the sun wrapped her black hair shining in the restless hair, just like her pupils. Metal-like hard luster, indifferent, gloomy, not easy to capture. "What do you mean she can't stay in Thebes? Arnis, please explain clearly to me."
Averting his gaze stung by the sun, he glanced at the maids in the room. Under his gaze, the maids bowed and left the room, and the last maid turned and closed the door.
The inner hall, which was already quiet, was extraordinarily quiet because there were only the two of them left, like a lake suddenly frozen in winter snow.
His eyes fell on Tusasita's body leisurely, her silent condensed breath made the air in the room a little sluggish, and the extreme displeasure emanating from her stiff back made the pair of sharp brown eyebrows even more beautiful. serious.
Deeply, with a long sigh, facing such a Tusa Sita, he actually felt somewhat exhausted. "Wang, before I explain the reason, please listen to me tell you a story."
Silent, his eyes flashed, and he nodded gloomyly.
"This story begins when the ancient creation god divided the chaotic world into three realms..."
Chapter 22
"When the world was created, the gods divided the heaven and the earth into three realms. The supreme gods lived in the heaven and the underworld, while in the human world, everything is boundless, and all living beings reincarnate endlessly. The sun god Rui-Amon is the king of the heaven, and the king of the underworld is naturally Ossi. Rees, and you are the pharaoh in this world. There is only one person in this world whose soul can directly enter the kingdom of heaven after death and enjoy eternal life with the gods, that is you---my king. And After the death of other people, including me, our souls must first come to the underworld, and Osiris, the king of the underworld, will judge our good and evil deeds in our life and decide whether we should enter the kingdom of heaven to obtain eternal life, or stay in the underworld to suffer endless torture. Osiris, the king of the underworld, entrusted his son with the heavy responsibility of measuring people's hearts... Anubis (the god of death with a jackal head and a human body, the leader of the undead, and the patron saint of spiritual scales), because he believed that Anubis was an upright and selfless man. God of death." Speaking of this, there was a slight change in Arnis's clear eyes, and his eyes lightly swept across the portrait of Anubis on the wall, and the exquisite scroll trembled slightly in a very strange way. wind.
Tusasita's eyes were always on Arnis's face, with calm brown pupils, quietly unable to distinguish the slightest emotion.
"Anubis used a 'spiritual scale' to weigh people's hearts, but he couldn't find a fair weight to accurately measure good and evil. When he was troubled, the goddess Maat (the god of justice and order, the only one who had Feathered young goddess, daughter of Sun Rui, whose name implies true justice and order) gave Anubis a white feather from her wing, placed Maat's feather on one end of the scale, and the dead man's heart On the other hand, if the heart is heavier than the feathers, then the person must have committed blasphemy or other evil deeds, and he must go to hell to suffer. If the heart weighs as much as the feathers, the person can enter the kingdom of heaven and receive Eternal life. The goddess of Maat is the goddess of justice, she represents the order of selflessness and justice, with her feathers, Anubis can correctly measure the good and evil of the heart, and he easily completed the Task."
"Goddess Mart..." She said lightly, her eyes sparkling slightly.
"Wang, do you remember? She is the youngest goddess among the gods. She is often ignored because she is too young. However, she has a heart of justice that no one can match. Her name is justice and justice." Synonymous with order."
His eyes flickered, and he nodded.Of course she remembered the goddess Maat, because this goddess was too young to be conspicuous among the many ancient gods in Egypt.
Seeing her nodding, Arnis continued: "The good times didn't last long. As time went by, Anubis maintained himself as the son of Pluto, and the only god between the night and the dawn state. The increasingly powerful The divine power and power made him more and more arrogant. Slowly, he forgot his mission and was bought by the evil spirits who came to the underworld. Anubis tampered with the calculation results of the spiritual scale without authorization, and released the wicked. Enter the kingdom of heaven and send good people to hell. Matt knew about this, and she told Osiris that Pluto deprived his son of the divine right in a rage, and pushed him into the endless sea of reincarnation, expecting him to be able to Realize the way of good and evil in reincarnation."
Looking away from Alnis's face, the long veil hanging quietly by the window perched in the western light of the sun, quiet and beautiful like a graceful girl snuggling by the window.This kind of scenery hides a sense of familiarity that Tusasita feels familiar. He gently turned his eyes away and continued to listen in silence.
"Mate felt guilty when she heard about this. She didn't expect that Anubis would be punished so severely. The guilty goddess Maat voluntarily threw herself into the world and entered the endless cycle of reincarnation. Originally, when the story reached here, it should be It's over. However, when Anubis was cast into the mortal world, he vowed to find Maat and kill her. After experiencing the endless cycle of life and death, Anubis' resentment continued unabated. Every time In the reincarnation, he searched hard for Ma Te in the vast crowd and tried to kill her to avenge himself." As if tired, he sighed a long time, raised his pale face, and smiled sickly.
"Yuebai...is she--Mate?" Although it was a question, it was spoken in an affirmative tone, and the suppressed shock and horror were conveyed in the neutral voice.
Nodding, laughing, mostly helpless. "Yes. When Yuebai first came to our world, I already noticed something strange, so I wanted to see her with my own eyes. When I heard her say that she had picked up a scarab with a whole body red before crossing, I was even more sure. Four important things were passed down from generation to generation by the Egyptian high priest, one is the scroll that recorded the story, and the other is the amulet to protect Maat from being found by Anubis , and the other two are the holy blood beetle that sealed Anubis' power and the spell to unseal it, "
Raising her eyebrows, her eyes darkened, she quickly digested the huge shock she felt when she first heard that Xia Yuebai was an Egyptian goddess, and suppressed a bunch of complicated emotions that were overgrown like weeds, she decisively expressed the doubts in her heart. "In this way, it is definitely not accidental that Yuebai came here. It should be caused by Anubis. But you didn't say that there was a protective spell to protect Maat from being found by Anubis. Why was she found again? gone?"
With a long and weak sigh, he lowered his head guiltily, and said slowly: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault for this weak body, it's getting more and more difficult for this dying body to maintain the protective spell, it must be because of the enchantment. The loophole gave Anubis an opportunity to recall Mat who was reincarnated in another world as Xia Yuebai."
Reaching out to hold the hand on his lap, the cold hand, even in summer, did not feel too much body temperature, Tusasita felt uncomfortable, and there were some bitter shadows between his brows. "Alnis, I can't blame you, you have tried your best."
Shaking his head with a wry smile, the loose long hair was draped over his shoulders, forming a lonely black shadow in the summer wind with a slight fragrance of flowers, showing that Arnis's thin body was showing exhaustion that could not be concealed.
After pondering, Shu Er spoke softly, with worried eyes. "King, even though Anubis was reincarnated as an ordinary person, he is still a god. His power was much stronger than I imagined. Don't talk about me now, even if I am healthy, I am definitely not him. opponent. If he can find a way to undo the seal on his body, then there will be no peace in this world. "
"Where is that holy blood beetle now?" Xia Yuebai will meet the holy object that sealed Anubis in the future. Could it be that the holy blood beetle has been lost?It was sent to Xia Yuebai's world by Anubis through some mysterious method, so as to build a bridge connecting the two worlds.
Frowning, he replied, "It's here with me."
Brown eyes flashed with golden mottled, fiery color and dangerous temperature. "Where did that holy blood beetle that appeared in Moon White World come from?"
"That's the shadow of the Holy Blood Beetle. Everything has its own reflection, just like standing by the water and seeing the reflection on the water surface is the same." He raised his hand, the palm hung on the gold cup on the low table, and his fingertips lightly The water in the cup suddenly rippled, and the water surface went from slightly rippling to trembling, step by step. The jumping and rolling water droplets were penetrated by the sunlight, and the crystal clear shadows were refracted on the table. .
As Arnis closed his hand, water drops fell into the cup together, and everything became quiet again, as if what happened just now was an illusion.
Tusasita was not surprised by the phenomenon before her eyes. Since she was a child, she had seen Arnis's ability different from ordinary people many times. Towards the road of killing and stamping full of blood.
Because of the use of strength, a chill came over, forcing Alnis to cough a few times, and his unsteady body was supported by the hand stretched out by Tusasita. He leaned on her arm and said with a little breath: "Can the holy The reflection of the blood beetle, as the intermediary between the two worlds, ahem... so as to bring the white moon to our world, the power of Anubis should not be underestimated. Think about it, Wang, if he unlocks the Seal, who else in this world can stop him?"
"I'll stop him."
Suddenly startled, the originally weak and drooping eyelids suddenly opened, and the eyes were full of panic and uneasiness. "King, he is a god, the god of Egypt... Fighting against the gods, even you, will offend the gods. Especially Osiris, he can exile his son, but he will not allow anyone to hurt Anubis. "
"What about gods? What about people? If he appears in front of me, I will respect him as a god; however, if he ignores my advice and insists on killing Yuebai, I will regard him as an enemy. God, I can kill you as well."
"King! You----"
"Alnis, now you and Yuebai will stay in Thebes, this is the safest place." Interrupting him, helping him to lean on the cushion, pulling a blanket to cover him, Tusasita was neat and tidy The tone was not asking for advice, it was clearly an order.
Anxious eyes stared straight into those calm and indifferent eyes, and there was no trace of panic and confusion in her calm eyes, and Arnis's worry suddenly escalated into anxiety. "My lord, have you thought about the price of being an enemy of God?"
"The price..." He frowned, as if he was thinking, or just paused.For a moment, a wicked smile appeared in her eyes, like a naughty child. "How much price did I pay to sit on the throne of Egyptian Pharaoh? We all know it clearly. At that time, did we shrink back because of these costs? Alnis, you are talking to me now, don't think it is too absurd Yet?"
"The situation at the beginning was a last resort. If the eldest prince and other princes and nobles hadn't joined forces to kill me, you wouldn't, wouldn't..." The trembling lips squirmed a few times, and the dry throat seemed to be stuck. The root thorn, the vivid past, the bloody memory engraved with the sadness that will never be washed away... Brothers and sisters killed each other, slaughtered the palace curtain, bloodbathed the dynasty... It was all just to protect his insignificant life.
He got up, walked to the window, and closed the window for Alnis who was weak and unable to blow the wind, blocking the evening wind blowing from the courtyard with the vapor of the Nile River.
Putting on the golden window frame with one hand, looking through the gap in the window edge to look at the exquisite courtyard with brilliant sunset, the sparkling pool water filled with glow like fire, silently stained with resolute and cold eyes, another coquettish and arrogant The fire burned fiercely in the golden pupil. "In my eyes, there is only success or failure, no price. If you succeed, any price is worth it; if you fail, you don't have to go after what you have paid." Turning around, leaning against the window with his arms folded, he said calmly: "Okay, the most important thing right now is to protect Yuebai's safety. Besides here, can you find a place that is safer than the palace?"
Speechless, frowning. "Wang is right, this is indeed the safest and most reliable place."
He smiled and let out a sigh of relief. "That's fine, you can live here with peace of mind, and notify me immediately if you find anything unusual. I'll take care of other things."
"Speaking of strangeness, a strange force has been gradually approaching Thebes recently, but... it sometimes disappears, and I can't see it clearly." A few days ago, he sensed this mysterious force from nowhere. Knowing its existence, I couldn't even find out the ins and outs of it.
"Pay close attention, if Anubis really came, he can't escape your eyes."
nod. "I hope it's just me being ill and making a mistake."
He wanted to laugh, but in the end he just held the corners of his mouth, watching Arnis's paler and paler face, but he could only stand by and watch, this kind of powerless frustration can really drive people crazy.
Closing her eyes, Tusasita was silent for a moment, looked up at the person on the couch, and said, "Yuebai doesn't know about these things yet, so keep her secret from her for now, lest she be afraid."
"Alright." Nodding, I don't know how much that little girl can understand such mysterious things that cannot be explained clearly... I was summoned from one world to another, and suddenly changed from an ordinary girl to an Egyptian goddess. A god of death who has been chasing and killing her for several lifetimes appeared, and these incredible things were mixed together, and no one could accept all of them in a short period of time.
Looking at the figure in the backlight by the window, the pink-purple sunset glides past her, if it wasn't for the leisurely shaking of the skirt, you would mistakenly think that it is just a statue leaning in the shadow by the window.
"Wang, do you... like Yuebai?" Actually, whether you ask or not, the answer is already clear at a glance.
"..."
"Alnis offended the king, please forgive me." Nodding his head, he spoke humbly.
"You didn't offend me, I was just thinking that your question was missing the point."
Smile with gentle eyes. "Oh? Ask the king to enlighten me."
"It's not whether you like it or not, but to what extent."
Such unscrupulous and presumptuous arrogance surprised him a little. "Wang... aren't you worried?"
"Of course I'm worried." With a smile, a flash of meteor-like dark light flowed from her eyes that were shining in the shadows.
"Are you worried that Yuebai is Maite's reincarnation, or are you worried that she won't stay here after knowing the truth?"
"No, I'm not worried about these." Sighing, looking sideways, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that the torches in the courtyard had been lit, and the meandering lights of the fire created another scene in the courtyard. "I'm just worried whether her feelings for me are the same as mine."
"My lord, since when did you have the subtle emotions of a little woman, and start worrying about other people's thoughts?" Relaxed body snuggled into the soft cushion, soft eyebrows and eyes with thick Smiling, looking at my sister who has always been resolute and resolute, I didn't expect her to be troubled by emotions. I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Yeah, when did it start..." whispered, talking to himself like the wind.
The love given by the Queen of Egypt is a burden. Once accepted, it cannot be unloaded or escaped. It is a heavy feeling that ordinary people cannot bear.
Because... Love is always a burden.
And Tusasita's love embodies the fate of a country's prosperity and decline. How many people in the world can bear such a heavy love?
Because of this, he knew that Tusasita never showed love easily, let alone indulged in emotional whirlpools.After Su Nisi's betrayal, her self-discipline and self-control seemed to be unreasonably harsh.
Sometimes, Arnis even felt that Tusasita had forgotten how to love. She was indifferent and calm like a noble stone that could only give orders. Everything that happened around her could hardly touch her cold and resolute soul.
Until the appearance of the little girl Xia Yuebai, everything changed subtly.
"Your Highness, Miss Xia, please see me." The maid's voice sounded outside the door.
The person who was talking about it appeared, and it was neither too early nor too late.Straightening up, Arnis said to the door, "Let her in."
"I'm leaving." Glancing at the door, he frowned slightly.
Smile, very casual. "Wang, don't you want to sit down for a while?"
"Mycenae's envoy will arrive tonight, and there will be a welcome banquet tonight."
"The Mycenaeans probably haven't arrived at the palace yet, so why is the king leaving in such a hurry?" Arnis didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity to catch Tusasita's weakness, and his smiling face Uplifting the brilliance of narrowness.
Raising eyebrows, the light in the bottom of the eyes flickered, helpless. "Ask knowingly."
Don't embarrass her anymore, nod towards her back as she strode away, and exhort with concern. "King, please drink less wine at the dinner."
"En." Without looking back, he responded casually, walking hastily.
Two doors were opened in front of your eyes, Xia Yuebai outside the door was holding a few scrolls, Tusasita walked past her without stopping.
Seeing Tusasita in a dress coming out, Xia Yuebai suddenly smiled and said softly to her: "The Mycenaean envoy will be here soon, I will return these to Alnis, and I will go back and change clothes soon, Go to the main hall for the dinner."
Standing still, speaking expressionlessly, his eyes swept over the things in her hand, but he didn't look at her. "You don't need to go, stay in the palace honestly, don't run around."
In an instant, the bright smile on his face froze at the corner of his lips, and he stood by the door and looked at Tusasita who was about to leave, and complained: "We agreed yesterday, as long as you finish copying the documents, you can go to the main hall to accompany you to meet the envoys." Tuan, why did you suddenly change your mind again? No, I'm going."
"I said," the footsteps that had just started stopped again, turned his head, his eyes were deep, and his voice was also true. "Stay in the palace, don't you hear?"
"You----" staring, his nose could breathe fire with anger.
Just in time, Alnis' voice came from inside the house. "Yuebai, why are you standing at the door, it's hot outside, come in quickly."
"Okay." Responding to the room, he turned his head to look at the empty corridor, only rows of torches swaying wildly in the evening wind, and winked at the empty corridor and whispered angrily: "If you don't go, you won't go." , face-changing monster!"
Then, holding the heavy scroll, just stepping over the threshold, he pouted and shouted coquettishly: "Arnis, who is messing with that stinky queen again? She won't let me see the envoys, what should I do?" ? You can help me think about it!"
Arnis sat on the couch, shook his head with a helpless smile, raised his eyes, and the long golden curtain that shielded the wind was lifted, revealing a beautiful face with sullenness.
It really makes sense to drop one thing after another.
Chapter 23
The time in the middle of the night should be used to sleep well, but once again, Xia Yuebai suffered from insomnia.
Leaning on the bed, holding a bowl full of grapes, throwing them into his mouth one by one, chewing on the sweet and juicy grapes, and looking at the door from time to time.
It was very quiet outside, everyone went to bed except myself.
The welcome dinner held for the Mycenaean mission was said to be very lively, because he was told that he could not attend, so Xia Yuebai could only feel a little bit of "lively" atmosphere from the elated descriptions of the maids.
In the evening, when I saw Tusasita at Alnis's place, the two hurriedly met, and she didn't even look at herself.In a few or two sentences, the tone was as blunt as treating a statusless slave, and she changed her mind about what she had said, and even ordered her to stay in the harem and not run around.
The speed of the face-changing speed of this uncertain woman is simply unprepared.
Alnis said that the New Year's ceremony is coming soon, and there are too many things to do in Tusasita, and there is another movement near Syria.Therefore, the temper of the Egyptian queen today is not very good.
Even if he was unlucky, he didn't pick an auspicious day to go out, and bumped into this black-faced Rakshasa.
Swallowing the delicate pulp, he picked up a grape with full purple skin from the bowl and put it in his mouth, then glanced at the door again, unconsciously.
Tusahita hadn't returned yet.
Two hours ago, the maid said that the dinner party was over, half an hour would be enough to walk from the main hall of the main palace back to the Amon Palace, why hasn't she come back yet?Could it be that he went to Nanyuan, is there anything else to do at this late hour?
The grapes in my mouth were suddenly not as sweet as before, and there was still a hint of sourness.
Sighing, I put the bowl on the bed, walked barefoot to the window, climbed the wide window sill, and looked up at the sky.
Thick black, because there is no moon, this kind of night looks a bit dull, but it completes a bright and wonderful star above the head... The stars in the sky are twinkling and shining on each other, and the fireflies are tiny, but because they are earnestly and persistently blooming The light, on the contrary, turned those insignificant rays of light into breathtaking beauty.
Night Breeze lifted the long hair on his shoulders and flew up together.
In fact, I don't blame Tusasita for not allowing her to attend the dinner party. She doesn't like lively places, but she is curious about Mycenae, which gave birth to the famous Greek civilization in later generations, so she wants to take a look. .
What made me really uneasy was the indifferent look that Tusasita looked back at while standing on the porch.She had never seen such indifferent and distant eyes even when they first met.
Is it true that, as Alnis said, is Tusasita troubled by many things that have happened recently?Or, what troubles her... In fact, it is related to herself.
Shaking his head, he immediately rejected the idea.It's ridiculous, what can I have to worry about the Queen of Egypt.I was an out-and-out foreigner in ancient Egypt. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, I just copied books, so I couldn't provoke things that would upset Tusahita.
Laughing at her own foolishness, Xia Yuebai leaned on the window sill, stretched her neck and looked back and forth towards the yard. The grotesque shadows shook to the ground in the night wind, and the chirping of insects was accompanied by the sound of running water. It makes this exquisite courtyard a little lonely.
With a long sigh, he withdrew his gaze and turned away from the window.
★★★★★★★★★
"You are going to host the Nile River Sacrifice tomorrow. They said that all the priests in Thebes will participate. I didn't expect that there are more than 1000 priests here. The River Sacrifice must be very spectacular." Xia Yuebai lay on the soft couch , holding his chin with his hands, just imagining a thousand priests praying for the flood of the Nile at the same time, such a scene is enough to make the atheist himself realize the importance of gods to the ancient Egyptians.
Alnis sat cross-legged, facing the window with a pale face, staring at the sky outside the window, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Arnis, are you nervous?" Looking at the silent young man, Alnis was surprisingly quiet today. He didn't talk much before, but today he is as stingy as gold.
For a long while, he didn't move at all, his eyes were narrowed, a faint beam of light disappeared from the bottom of those brown eyes, and he remained silent.
Frowning slightly, facing the silent Alnis, Xia Yuebai felt that he seemed a little weird.
The gentle breeze moved the paintings on the wall, and the slight rattling sound was the sound of the scrolls rubbing against the wall.
Arnis' eyes moved slowly, as if attracted by the movement of the painting scroll, his brows gradually frowned. At the moment when the portrait of Anubis with wolf head and human body was swaying in the warm wind, Arnis's The brows became tighter and tighter.
"He is coming." Suddenly, he said something inexplicable.
Following his line of sight, he glanced at the paintings on the wall.It's just an ordinary portrait, which is Anubis, the leader of the undead and the god of death. This kind of scroll depicting ancient Egyptian gods can be seen everywhere in the palace.Looking at Alnis again, he asked in confusion, "Who is coming?"
"……soon."
"Alnis, what are you talking about? Who wants to come to Thebes?" The answer was not what she asked, or he didn't hear what she was asking at all.
"..." The eyes that looked straight at the scroll, a faint light flashed across, and fell into silence again. He stared at the front without moving, but his eyes were empty.
"What's wrong with you, Arnis?" He raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, but he didn't respond at all, he didn't even blink his eyelids, and looked directly at the portrait with a worried expression, just like the one in the painting. Anubis would suddenly step down.
"The wind ignited the flames of war that should be extinguished, a big fire... a dangerous fire... a black... flame." Silently, the voice was very low, revealing an irreparable sadness, the eyes that were still empty just now Suddenly there was a terrified look in his eyes that suddenly collapsed and trembled for some reason.
"Black flame?" Puzzled, frowning.Suddenly, I remembered that everyone said that the high priest had some kind of natural ability to see through the secrets. Xia Yuebai never believed in superpowers. Such things are really not convincing.
However, thinking of all the adventures she experienced, she really has no reason to deny other incredible supernatural phenomena. "Alnis, did you see something?"
Suddenly, his eyes flickered, and the gentle and rippling light returned to his eyes, faintly illuminating his empty eyes just now. "...No, I didn't see it."
"You just said that the flames of war are rekindled, do you mean that Egypt is going to war again? With whom? Is it Libya or Syria?" A lot of questions came out of my heart, and I heard Arnis whisper a few hidden secrets as if his soul had come out of his body. , the half-knowledgeable Xia Yuebai fell into a state of bewilderment, and the messy sense of urgency made her even more restless.
"..."
"Alnis." He called out to him, why did he feel as if he was no longer in the room? What was going on with this illusion?
For a moment, he smiled at her, with a pale smile and an extremely tired face. "Yuebai, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."
Frowning, her lips moved, and the words that had slipped to her lips were abruptly swallowed back. Today's Arnis is too weird, so weird that she didn't know what to do. "Okay, you rest, I'm going back."
"Yuebai!" Shouted loudly, stopping her footsteps.
"What's the matter?" Turning around, he looked at the young man on the couch with a tired look on his face, and asked softly.
"No matter what happens, you must... trust the king."
"What's going to happen?" She looked into his eyes, those brown eyes very similar to Tusasita's, filled with uneasiness that he hesitated to speak, what was he so uneasy about?
"I'm talking if... just, a hypothesis."
"Well, why make assumptions, Alnis, are you hiding something from me?" He looked straight into his eyes, searching for any suspicious clues.However, those beautiful long and narrow eyes are as quiet as a sun-shrouded lake, clear and clean, the chaotic eyes that were surging in the dark light just now disappeared, and the high priest of ancient Egypt returned to the gentle and jade-like appearance of the past , even the smile is appropriately noble and handsome.
"Silly girl, what can I hide from you. I just hope that no matter when and where, you can trust the king, and she will definitely protect you." She raised her face slightly, watching Xia Yuebai who passed by the sun, Seeing the expression of doubt and disbelief on her face, she smiled.
He lowered his eyes, knowing that he was hiding something from him, but he didn't want to ask clearly. I don't know if this kind of evasive mentality is because of his limited ability to solve any problems; or because he has been in this ancient world for too long. , the state of mind longing for the truth has become more and more blurred; or she is used to living without caring about the world, because she knows that there is someone who will definitely protect herself from the ups and downs...
How can I be so sure, this seemingly ridiculous self-confidence, where does it come from?
Seeing that she was silent, her brows were entwined with confusion and doubt, her black hair hung down her face, slightly covering the thin outline of her cheeks.
After a long time, Xia Yuebai felt that her legs were stiff. She looked away, and cast her flickering eyes to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Then, at the moment when the thick greenery outside the window sent a burst of colorful fragrance, she smiled brightly and looked towards the window. in the direction of Alnis.
"I trust Tusahita."
The originally dark brown eyes flashed a bright and gratifying color strangely in the next instant. "That's good."
"You have a good rest, I'm leaving first."
Smiling and nodding, watching the unhurried figure disappear by the door, Alnis relaxed his tense shoulders, and fell limply backwards, with his weak body supported by the soft cushion behind him, a burst of violent The cough rushed out of the throat, and the whole person trembled like a leaf that could not stand the autumn wind amidst the series of uncontrollable coughs.
The maids standing outside the door rushed into the room, brought water and medicine, and handed the towel soaked in cold water to Alnis. Everything was done quietly and quickly, in an orderly manner without anyone panicking.However, the deep worry suppressed in their eyes made these young and beautiful faces covered with deep anxiety.
