The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]

"The latest discovery in Egyptian archeology...the ruins of a temple suspected to be built by a famous pharaoh in the No.18 Dynasty...excavation began today, and you can follow the follow-up report for details..."

In the cafe, there are old TV sets that are usually not paid attention to by many people. Just after they are turned on, the first sound that sounds like a news anchor is broadcasting the latest foreign developments.

The boss was making coffee leisurely behind the bar. He didn't pay attention to the TV channel for a while. After staying on the history channel last night, he forgot to switch to the entertainment channel that more people like.

Therefore, the news being broadcast is indeed foreign news, but the content is a bit biased. It is actually the latest archaeological discovery——

"up to date?"

Some surprises, but the only customer in the cafe questioned at this time: "This news is definitely not a new discovery, I heard about it a long time ago!"

"Huh? Teacher, what are you talking about?"

Just as the boss wished the coffee well, he carefully poured it into the cup, and before he could deliver it, he saw a regular customer of his shop standing up excitedly, and couldn't help but patted the table.

This regular customer should be a professor from a nearby university. He has long black hair and looks refined. He often comes here with a computer and sits with coffee for the whole afternoon. He really is a gentleman with culture and connotation.

His students usually come to look for him at this time, but for some reason today, the girl with the hood and the cheerful blond boy haven't shown up until now.

The professor who wore glasses and couldn't stop the thick dark circles under his eyes was also in a high mood. He hit the table with his right hand hard, making the boss almost think that he was going to rush into the TV, snatch the microphone of the nonsense host, and go in and top it himself:

"The ruins of the temple of the Eighteenth Dynasty were dug out ten years ago! Even the lines are exactly the same as at that time, without changing a single word. I really don't know what those scholars are doing!"

In fact, it should be said to be quite inexplicable.

God knows where the professor's anger came from—or was he simply depressed and aggrieved by this opportunity, he is very excited now: "Without the slightest rigor! Could it be that such a huge cultural heritage cannot be researched earlier? !"

"That's a great site that even 'that person'... said it was a 'miracle'!"

boom!

The weak-looking professor slammed on the table for the last time, and the muffled sound resounded throughout the enclosed space.

Boss holding coffee: "..."

Should this cup of brewed coffee be put down or not?

The professor has obviously been stimulated by an unknown person, and now he has fallen into a mysterious state of mania.

——Weber Velvet, that is the name of this "university professor".

This name is ordinary in the world of ordinary people, but in the field of magic, it is considered a famous name.

He is the man who inherited the name of El-Melloi, one of the lords of the clock tower located in "Mystery" in London, England.

The previous list of titles indeed sound very resounding, but to the current Weber Velvet, he was only an incompetent person who was able to take over the title of El-Melloi II by accident.

When Weber was far away from "El-Melloi II", in order to prove his ability, he stole the holy relic prepared by his teacher Kenneth, quietly went to Fuyuki, Japan, and participated in the cruel "Holy Grail War". Battle.

The details of this war are still fresh in Weber's memory, but he doesn't want to reveal too much to outsiders.

Undoubtedly, the Holy Grail War that Weber experienced had a profound impact on him, directly changing his fate.

The man who caused this result was the Heroic Spirit he summoned in the Holy Grail War, the rank is Rider, and the real name is Alexander the Great of Iskandar.

Today's El-Melloi II can still recall that one afternoon before the end of the Holy Grail War, he and rider sat in the home of the boarding old people to discuss the battle plan. The voice is talking about new archaeological discoveries in Egypt.

At that time, the immature teenager Weber was not interested in Egypt or Pharaoh... Well, he was still a little interested!

He casually chatted about this topic with the rider who was attracted by the news, and heard the king in his memory talk about the ancient country that was once his ruled area with a sentimental tone.

correct.

It was one of the nights when the Holy Grail War officially started, he rode in the rider's thunder car, and saw a figure on the ground from a high place.

'That man, I saw him in the temple of Ramesses II. 'rider said such a strange sentence back then.

……

All of the things mentioned above were all ten years ago.

Ten years have passed since the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Wei Bo just missed the quota to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War inside the Clock Tower. His long-term preparations and expectations were all in vain, and he was depressed while sitting in the cafe.

Hurrah.

As a result, at this extremely irritable time, such an oolong actually appeared, which brought back countless memories that El-Melloi II regarded as a heart attack, and his anger exploded!

"Can't these people open the gate of the temple for ten years! Wasting precious time and burying the miracle is a huge loss for mankind!"

"As expected of you, besides being knowledgeable, do you still care so much about cultural relics and treasures in human history!"

The boss was shocked, and he found a reasonable explanation for the professor's sudden change of image, which was very different from that of a British gentleman, and his admiration for him immediately increased to a higher level.

"Which pharaoh in Egypt built that temple? Oh, Ramses II, I'm sure I know this pharaoh. If it's a site related to him, why are those experts so inactive!"

"That's right, it's a waste of money—"

"It should indeed be condemned!"

At the same time, the boss and the guests began to be filled with righteous indignation, expressing strong dissatisfaction with the archaeological experts who had not done anything for ten years.

Because they were too focused on the protest, they didn't notice the sound coming from the door. Someone pushed the door in and went straight to El-Melloi II who was still expressing his dissatisfaction: "Teacher! You forgot to go to class again , if you don’t leave, you will be late!”

"...oh sorry, lady."

"Well, please let us take away the teacher's coffee! Thank you!"

The "university professor" who was too obsessed with archaeological news for a while and forgot to go back to class was shamelessly dragged away by the students.

It was just such a mistake, he just left, and the content that was different from the news broadcast ten years ago came back, and he just missed it perfectly.

The boss cleared the table, looked up, and saw the picture on the TV screen switch from the face of the host to the actual site of the excavation site.

"It is understood that this mysterious underground site was actually discovered ten years ago. Before the official excavation work was carried out, the archaeological team encountered a mysterious underground landslide and the excavation work was forced to stop..."

"The local rumors that the landslide suddenly appeared was due to the curse of the Pharaoh. The on-site staff who participated in the field excavation said afterwards that they saw the hallucination of the legendary Sphinx beast, as well as the mysterious white shadow that flashed past... in All the staff rescued in the desert have memory loss..."

Boss: "Oh? Curse of the Pharaoh?"

It seems very powerful and terrifying.

The poor professor left too hastily. He must have never thought that his constant line of angrily attacking him was just a complicated opening line. The real key content of this news came out after he left.

It was as if he was deliberately opposing His Excellency El-Melloi II.

The host, who had been listless before, suddenly became radiant, and began to explain the secret that had been buried for a whole decade with enthusiasm.

It turned out that the excavation work of a mysterious underground site of a pharaoh that had attracted worldwide attention ten years ago suddenly disappeared.

The main reason is that this accident is weird everywhere.

First, many tourists who were nearby at the scene of the incident claimed that they saw the dazzling golden light bursting from the direction of the ruins, just like the sun falling from the sky and falling there.

Then, all the people who were originally underground, even if they were buried in a landslide, all flew out of the cave and were found by rescuers in the desert.

Among them, the leader of the team flew the farthest. After waking up, his mouth was slanted and his eyes were slanted for a long time.

It's not over yet.

Within a few days of being rescued and returned, all the staff members who had entered the ground fell into a coma, and it took more than ten days for them to wake up with a high fever.At this time, I asked them how the incident happened, and they all lost their memory.

This scene is too infiltrating, and there are many "legends" and "curses" that are closely related to the land of Egypt throughout the ages, and the horror atmosphere has suddenly multiplied countless times.

"This—this, this...is the curse of the pharaoh! The curse of the pharaoh exists, and Ramses II was angry, so he punished them!"

All in all, under the pressure of the "curse", ignorant mortals made a fuss, and under the strong obstruction of high-level people who believed in the Egyptian curse the most, this archaeological project was forcibly sealed before it was re-opened.

Ten years have passed.

Probably because no one would offend the Pharaoh anymore, the time in this world is peaceful and peaceful.

but--

Right now!

It's now!

The string of words "the underground temple secretly built by Ramses II" suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the forgetful people!

"Modern humans in a scientific society should dare to expose the phantom of the 'curse'."

The host repeated the speech of the leader of the archaeological excavation team.

Oh, the general idea is that after ten years, the experts who were persecuted by the "curse" at the time learned from the painful experience, thinking that they and others were affected by the psychological effect of fear before they had hallucinations.

Curses do not exist, nor do mysterious powers, only science is real—he is going to grow old and strong now, take the lead in uncovering the mystery of the "curse of the Pharaoh" again, and open the door to the ruins that have been dusty for thousands of years!

The camera transition shows the face of such a great enlightened expert to enthusiastic audiences all over the world.

This expert was of course also on TV ten years ago.

At that time, he was the same as now. He had called the media in advance, started a live broadcast, and was waiting for the amazing treasure buried below to appear in the world.

Thinking of the achievements and fame that will come soon, the expert is nearly middle-aged and has a fat body, but he looks energetic-in stark contrast to the emaciated and sluggish after the accidental blow.

Ten years later, he looked a lot older, his body shape had not recovered, and his spirit was unexpectedly not in good shape.

Surrounded by black air invisible to mortals, the "expert" stood in a place protected from the sun by equipment, doing nothing but ordering others to dig here and then there.

Near the "expert", there was another figure.

The camera tried hard to expand in this direction, but it seemed that it was under a strong but invisible resistance, and it was still unable to clearly capture the entire face of this person.

The audience can only recognize it by the general outline. This man has an extraordinary bearing. He should be a super rich investor who is powerful enough to put the abandoned excavation plan on the agenda again and proceed immediately.

The "investors" completely ignored the sights that were trying to pry, regardless of the crowds that were shuttling back and forth in front of them.

His mood at this time, even thinking about it, knows that it will not get better.

"Tsk, I went around and went around, but I still ran to this ghost place."

The "expert" not far away clicked his tongue, showing dissatisfaction in his tone.

It traveled thousands of miles here ten years ago, but it did not expect to be blown away by the enchantment left by the Pharaoh at the door. It finally got into the temple and encountered a new setback——

Anyway, I almost know what happened next!It doesn't bother to recap!

"Expert", no, She Zhang still didn't expect that he would be oppressed by the evil Pharaoh now, so he would dig another grave.

only.

In addition to being used to secretly cursing the idiot and idiot Pharaoh, She Zhang was enslaved this time, and his mood was fairly stable, without any particular resentment.

Of course, it wasn't that it suddenly became broad-minded, but—it had something very funny in front of it, and its priority was higher than its full of resentment.

Snake Stick (in my heart): "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"This uncle is going to die laughing!This guy wants to dig his own grave hahahahahahahahahahahaha! '

It suffocated its laughter so hard that the expression of the controlling human was distorted and its eyes dimmed.

This sentence can be understood literally.

That's right, the ruins being excavated now are the genuine temple of Pharaoh Ramses II, and the tomb he prepared for himself and his lover during his lifetime.

This mausoleum is deliberately hidden deep underground in order not to be disturbed by outsiders and to enjoy peace forever.

Now the door of the pharaoh's tomb is about to be opened, and the turbid atmosphere from thousands of years later will also be poured in.

— the funniest.

The pharaoh himself, the famous Ramses II, stood here, watching all this step by step with a deadpan expression.

Although before that, he himself had entered the temple once and changed his body to another place.

But the resting place was trampled by mortals, and the king must not be happy in his heart.

But he was not completely offended by the disrespectful behavior that happened in front of him, and punished these lightless people with divine punishment.

The reason is that, after all, this "plan" was his own idea.

He also participated in it himself.

"Since we want the whole world to know his name, then let Yu's underground temple be seen again."

When making this decision, Ozymandias was actually not as aggrieved and resentful as he mocked his snake rod.

Aside from having to tolerate the noise of ordinary people, the king's state of mind is very peaceful.

He can clearly distinguish the priority from the secondary, and knows what is the most important right now - that must be the lover whose soul is about to die completely.

This move is not to create a legend or myth out of thin air, but to erase the dust that covers the surface of the buried fact, so that it can be seen again.

——Thousands of years ago, in the most prosperous dynasty of ancient Egypt, there was a magnificent high priest, his name was Tahir.

——He is the lover of the Pharaoh, the temples built everywhere, and the love poems written in this lifetime are all left by him.

Even if it is not only for "him", the world thousands of years later should know this.

"It's really enough to go all out."

She Zhang secretly satirized the king, saying it so chicly, he would definitely regret it in a short time.

This statement is not unfounded. After all, the ancient king who turned into a heroic spirit opened his own tomb for ignorant descendants to visit-if people know it, this is definitely an ancient anecdote.

How weird and embarrassing, the heroes who are also heroic spirits will definitely laugh to death after hearing this.

All right, he's still separated by a layer, at least he didn't dig it himself...but does it make any difference?

Snake Staff can't understand anyway.

It felt that no matter how long it looked at these two idiots, it would not be able to understand the things they did that were of no benefit and could only do endless harm to itself.

For example, this pharaoh who let go of the enchantment regardless.

For example, the priest who was about to disappear completely.

Not long ago, the snake rod watched the pharaoh return to the deepest tomb of the temple, opened the coffin that had been silent for a long time, and wanted to take out Tahir's body that was placed inside by the snake rod, and put it together with his own body. go elsewhere.

However, when his hand touched the body of the blond man with the same face as before, as if he was just sleeping, the existence under his finger unexpectedly shattered quietly like a bubble.

This body was pinched out by Snake Staff based on his vague impression, and it was intended to be used for the resurrection of the summoned soul.

But now I know that the body is useless, Tahir’s obsession can only survive because of some soul fragments mixed in, the obsession disappears, and the remnant soul has no support, it will be like this bubble——

"..."

Ozymandias bowed his head, and the outstretched arm seemed to have become a sculpture, maintaining a posture for a long time.

After a long time, he withdrew his hand, and there was nothing in the dusty golden coffin, not even a fragment that could be called a "wreckage".

Perhaps it was stimulated by the "death" that happened directly in front of his eyes, and the Pharaoh's determination became stronger at that moment.

He must complete this "mission".

Fate and invisible fate allowed him to reunite with his lover after a thousand years, so he shouldn't be so unfeeling, making him lose Tahir forever after he got it for a short time.

"Yu has been thinking about why we couldn't stay together when we were alive, because of what Yu did wrong, or where we missed each other."

Before leaving, the pharaoh stopped in the center of the tomb, and what he looked up to saw was the tall statue of a god standing quietly at the front of the tomb for thousands of years.

One of the statues belonged to the lord of the gods, Ra, who represented the sun.

God watches the world, knows everything, and dominates everything, but never reveals some hidden truths.

"If it was wrong for me to fall in love with him, then you should punish me who acted recklessly and didn't think about the consequences back then, Father God."

"That night, your eyes penetrated the clouds and came to the world, did you really see him?"

Ozymandias felt bitter about the doubts he had at this moment.

He was impulsive, and he shouldn't have asked the question anyway.But even in the face of the respectful Father God, he still couldn't bear it.

This is just an unfounded guess.

But Ozymandias still inexplicably felt that his guess was correct.

On that night when everything was silent and even the lights became mournful and gloomy, God's sight reached the human world, complied with his "illusion" somehow, and saw a certain person who was there at that time.

One person is riding a solar ship to the holy land, standing in the unreachable sky.

One person knelt in front of the same pale statue, staying on the dim ground.

The huge gully between them will always be untouchable heaven and earth, unbridgeable life and death.

Even now.

"Do you want to go through it again?"

Pharaoh muttered unwillingly.

His gaze just left the Father God, and it also inadvertently fell on another rather inconspicuous statue beside him.

"........."

"Lord Mejed."

It turned out that another small god statue in the tomb belonged to a little god who was completely unknown in mythology and had very little ink on it.

Ozymandias remembered that he had never had the chance to see it with his own eyes, but he knew that it meant a lot to Tahir, and he couldn't help sighing secretly: "If you are still here, at least you can give him some comfort. "

No one knows where Lord Mejed went.

No, no one is sure whether Lord Mejed left by himself, or disappeared without a sound—or it didn't really leave.

She Zhang might know, but it just kept its mouth shut and refused to say anything.

"Idiot... I have never seen such a stupid person, not only people, but even gods..."

It just murmured in private, as if it wanted to brainwash itself: "Could it be that as long as you get close to this guy, you will do stupid things uncontrollably! My uncle will definitely...absolutely not!"

It can be said that the heroic spirits and snakes here are extremely determined...

Well, maybe.

"Just keep an eye on it here, and I'll go to other places to have a look."

The main entrance of the "Ruins" can be seen again, and the Pharaoh's brows were tightly frowned, and he had endured until now, and he really didn't want to look directly at it anymore.

He was going to wander somewhere else--what else, the pyramids were nothing new to the true ancient pharaohs.

After turning around casually, he turned to the museum with inexplicable irritability.

Also coincidentally, the museum was opening a special exhibit when the pharaohs passed by.

The subject of the special exhibition is the last female pharaoh of ancient Egypt, a peerless beauty known as Cleopatra.

The exhibits in this exhibition for people to see through the transparent showcase are naturally all cultural relics related to that peerless beauty.

When the pharaoh was furious that mortals despised the pharaoh's dignity and put the things after death in the public for wanton viewing, his hurried eyes suddenly stopped in a corner of the exhibition hall.

What was captured was actually just a flash of light, and because it was difficult to pass through the extremely narrow gap between the crowded crowd, it became extremely faint.

But he still found it at a glance.

It was as if his whole body and mind were fixed by this unexpected discovery, and he walked towards that direction unconsciously and completely uncontrollably.

So, not long after, he saw the exquisite jewelry inlaid with sapphires.

It belonged to him, and then he passed it on to another person.

The author has something to say: One detail that will not be clearly stated in the text: when Snake went to Tata, he deliberately brought the media to live broadcast. It was messed up, miserable)
