Full-time Mage: Heavy Water Returns to the World

……

Egypt.

Luxor Airport.

An airplane landed on the dusty African landscape, and the scent of the wild wilderness filled the air. A moment later, the cabin door opened, and Nan Yi stepped out.

Several mentors from the Chinese National Academy had been waiting for a long time in front of the helipad.

"Greetings, mentors. It's been a long time." Nan Yi bowed slightly and greeted the mentors.

"You must have had a long journey," Feng Li said.

Even the usually rigid and serious Feng Li couldn't help but soften his tone, and the other mentors also looked at Nan Yi with satisfaction.

Of course, not all of them knew the specifics of Nan Yi's situation; they only knew that Nan Yi had participated in the rescue of Bo City. Only Feng Li knew the inside story.

However, Feng Li remained the same strict Grand Tutor of the National Academy, and without much small talk, quickly got to the point.

"The others have already gone to the Valley of the Kings. This is one of the tasks of this Egyptian training mission: to assist the Luxor government in suppressing the undead uprising in the Valley of the Kings."

"I won't go into details, you'll find out on your way. Here's your travel money, take it and go."

After briefly explaining the mission objective, Feng Li swiftly threw Nan Yi out of the airport.

It's still that familiar mentor.

Outside the airport, Nan Yi glanced at the location his teammate had sent on his phone, then hailed a taxi and set off.

On the way, Nan Yi got a general understanding of the city of Luxor, which, if described by color, would be earthy yellow.

Yellow sand was visible to the naked eye, and even the houses were made of yellow earth. The streets and roads were full of yellow sand, and only a small part of the city center could be vaguely seen with white buildings and asphalt roads.

The urbanization rate here is still relatively low.

Not to mention comparing it to Luxor or Shanghai, even the newly rebuilt Bo City looks much more modern than most of Luxor.

Finally, the driver took Nan Yi to the gates of Luxor. As for the fare, it just ran out of the mission funds Nan Yi had on him.

"..."

The mentor had calculated the funds for this operation meticulously, but he didn't know how much money his teammates had available.

After registering and leaving the city gate, he was much freer to move around. There were no rules or restrictions like demon licenses in the wild. Emperor Valley was still quite a distance away, so Nan Yi simply summoned Xiao Yi.

As soon as Xiao Yi came out, he immediately attracted the attention of a group of people nearby.

Everyone here is a wandering hunter or a hunter team that has left the city, and their destination is basically Emperor Valley. After all these years of hard work, where have they ever seen such a handsome giant snake!
What they saw most were various horned viper monsters in the desert, such as sand vipers and Sahara vipers. The appearance of those horned vipers was nothing compared to the magnificent pale white and golden snake in front of them.

There were even three-colored stars in its snake eyes, which made it look like it had a noble lineage!
In Egypt, snakes are complex cultural symbols. In ancient Egypt, they symbolized royalty and status, and were considered guardian deities. But at the same time, they were also a source of fear, an enemy that threatened the pharaoh's rule, and represented chaos and darkness.

Egyptians generally have a sense of awe towards snakes.

Nan Yi rode on Xiao Yi's head, and the two of them vanished in a flash, leaving only a thin trail of water beneath them.

In the desert, water is scarce, and Xiao Yi would need to expend more magic energy to speed up his journey. Even so, Nan Yi did not call Xiao Ning out, so as not to attract too much attention.

About half an hour later, Nan Yi arrived.

Nan Yi had now completely penetrated the desert. There was only a huge valley ahead, with towering peaks on both sides and a straight mountain path in the middle. It was a terrain where one could only enter and exit once in, and once one went deep into it, it would be extremely difficult to get out.

That is the Valley of the Kings, the burial place of dozens of members of the ancient Egyptian royal family.

At this moment, a large camp had been set up in a desert oasis five kilometers from the entrance to Emperor's Valley. A large number of people were active there; those who had come from the city, like Nan Yi, had mostly entered the camp. Supplies and supplies were being transported along the same route. A temporary communication base station had been established there; although internet access was unavailable, phone calls were still possible. Nan Yi quickly reunited with his teammates from the Nationalist government.

……

Temporary tent.

"Nan Yi, you're back!" Han Li exclaimed in surprise.

"Welcome back," Qin Mo said with a smile.

Leng Qing, Bai Mei, Mao Xianyi, Zu Xiangtian, and others were all present, including Li Yang, who had just arrived from the previous stop; the entire Huaguo National Government team had gathered.

"Some people are really arrogant, making everyone wait." Zu Xiangtian sneered.

“The upcoming operation in Emperor Valley is quite dangerous. We just heard that Nan Yi is coming back, so let’s discuss the safest course of action,” Mao Xianyi explained.

With the captain speaking, Zu Xiangtian naturally couldn't continue targeting him, so he snorted coldly and fell silent.

"What operation?" Nan Yi asked Mao Xianyi.

Then, Mao Xianyi began to explain.

"The Luxor army plans to launch a general offensive soon to capture the tomb of Ramses II and resolve the current unrest in the Valley of the Kings."

"The tomb of Ramses II? Can someone explain the current state of the Valley of the Kings?" Nan Yi was new to the area and unfamiliar with the local situation.

Upon hearing this, Leng Qing's voice rang out.

"The Valley of the Kings was originally a mausoleum built for the royal family and nobles during the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt. A lot of necromancy technology was used in its construction, but it has led to the current out-of-control situation."

"The current situation? Was it under control before?"

"Yes." Leng Qingzhen nodded slightly.

“In the early days, the undead here could even be controlled by people, and many necromancers regarded this place as a holy site. But as time went on, the Valley of the Kings evolved into a deathly place similar to the pyramids, with a wave of undead breaking out every now and then, which has been a headache for the Luxor government every year.”

Upon hearing this, Nan Yi understood.

"And what about that Latin American... Sith?"

Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great or the Pharaoh, was the longest-reigning pharaoh.

"He must be very strong, right? Can Luxor's army handle him?"

Leng Qing shook her head.

"The real Ramses II has long since disappeared; what remains is merely his tomb, imbued with his remnants. Most of the undead are beings without independent consciousness, so as long as we destroy Ramses II's tomb, we can resolve this undead uprising."

Hearing this, Nan Yi finally felt relieved.

He almost thought the Luxor government was so foolish as to dare to challenge the Pharaoh.

"What Leng Qing said is basically the current situation in Emperor Valley. Luxor's army plans to launch a full-scale attack in seven days. They have asked us to help them deal with the Horned Viper Mummy and relieve the pressure of their breakthrough."

"A mummy viper? A commander? Or a group of warriors?" Nan Yi asked.

Surely those who need their assistance can't be servants or demons?
Upon hearing this, Mao Xian paused for a moment.

"Command the guard squad."
