Since thirteen years ago, the Egyptians have lost contact with Greece on the other side of the Mediterranean.

As the seaport with the largest throughput, Alexander was flustered for a while at first, but quickly resigned.

My country is vast and rich, where do I need to communicate with the barbarians in the north? After the empty merchant ships that set out for Greece returned one after another, the seaport city of Alexandria has lost its prosperity and vitality many years ago. Except for some fishermen who refused to give up their homes, many people in the city were He dragged his family to Cairo to seek life.

For the demigod missionaries in Egypt who wear animal headgear or simply turn into beast-headed human beings, the situation in the north is obviously not as simple as people think. This is not just the interruption of a route, but a The evil brewing over the Balkan Peninsula, the dark clouds that have not dissipated for more than ten years, are completely a spectacle for this vast world, and the terrifying ghosts hidden in those dark clouds are eating away at their feet. They knew that if those ghosts were allowed to gain everything on the peninsula, their next move would be the warmer, more prosperous South.

Therefore, although the mortals of Alexandria have left their homes and the streets have become desolate, more and more wizards gather here in the bay far away from the city, which also makes the Alexandrians who stay in their homes feel extremely honored and fortunate. , being able to meet the gods is the greatest honor in life for an ordinary Egyptian, not to mention seeing a **** with a chicken head or a dog head walking around on the street from time to time.

Perhaps for the Alexandrians, there will be nothing new here, until two months ago, a strange pair of master and servant boarded a wooden boat that had come from the bottom of the sea to a port that had not been visited by outsiders for a long time.

When they saw a wooden sailboat rushing out from under the sea, slammed into the pier, and the bottom of the boat continued to slide along the beach until it ran aground, the stunned fishermen at first thought it was a shipwrecked boat. Under the guidance of the gods to send the body of its owner back to their homeland, they carefully approached the sailboat with a different style from theirs, until the position of the ship's belly sounded "bang bang", and a black hand was broken by the wrinkled skin. The wooden board at the bottom of the boat seeped out from the inside, and the stiff fingers and terrifying color made many people hear the rumor about the resurrection of the mummy, and they left their fishing boats and fled.

"Damn, I shouldn't have made the boat so strong!"

After the crowd scattered and fled, Tom's deep scolding came from the boat. He waved the hardened Haierbo and smashed the inner wall of the cabin like a sledgehammer. After exerting force, it was finally difficult to break a hole enough for people to pass through.

"boom!"

Haierbo's stiff body was pushed out from the inside, and it was stuck upside down on the soft sand. Tom quickly climbed out of the broken hole, looked down at his clean clothes, shook his head, and waved his wand. A flame flashed and burned him into the same embarrassed appearance as Haierbo, but this was not enough. He simply waved his staff and summoned a cloud of sea water to pour down from above his head, which looked exactly like the unlucky guy who was shipwrecked. .

He looked around the deserted beach, the scattered fishing boats and fishing gear, and the dense footprints that were slowly being filled by the sand, and it was difficult to understand what happened here for a while.

"Maybe a sea monster ran over just now?"

Tom shrugged in surprise, took out a delicate compass from his arms, and compared it with the map Nelson gave him, looking at the scattered buildings on the distant horizon and the protruding triangles in the distant wasteland, Nodding, "It looks like I've arrived in Egypt. I hope the Egyptians can buy some time for Nar... But then again, I've never heard of any sea monsters in Egypt."

He turned around, dragged out a bag of herbs collected on the way from the cabin, and finally noticed Haierbo, whose head was stuck on the beach, and Haierbo had begun to sink along the soft sand. His neck was already buried in, and Tom finally pulled him out, muttering, "Is this a half body? Let's find a place to live first."

He carried Haierbo and the herbal bag on his shoulders, took a step, and walked towards the direction of the building complex.

There was no one on the way, until he saw a girl with her back to him sorting fishing nets by the river extending out of the port.

"I finally saw a living person." Tom sighed with relief. In order to avoid Haierbo's appearance from scaring others, he thoughtfully hid Haierbo under Luya and walked quickly behind her.

The fisher girl didn't notice Tom's approach, but was clumsily peeling off the grass and debris from the fishing net. Her fingers were so slender that they even looked as fragile as glass products, and the wheat-colored skin was covered in sweat. Pearl, showing a crystal-like luster in the sun, with no decoration except for a pitted brass collar, only a smock of the same color as the Nile that has been starched and washed many times. The straw sandals were worn upside down and she didn't even notice it, her fingertips were covered with old and new scars in layers, all of which seemed to be left by fishing nets. The long black hair was split on her shoulders, blocking her relatively fair neck.

When he was about to get close to her, Tom made a big noise on purpose, and even stomped on the ground a few times, but the fisherwoman still didn't respond, as if she couldn't hear Tom's voice at all.

"Cough!"

Tom walked behind her and coughed hard, but the fisherwoman still didn't respond at all.

"Cough cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Just when Tom began to wonder if he had tuberculosis, the fisher girl finally moved. She turned around and faced Tom, her eyes swept over his legs, and then she stretched out her hand and slowly groped on the ground.

Tom felt a little angry. He had never been ignored so much when he was so old, but since he was unfamiliar in life, he still suppressed his anger, looked at the girl's face, and waited for her to finish her own affairs.

This girl is not much different from the Egyptians he imagined. Her brown face is glowing with swarthy sheen, but her skin is relatively delicate. Her full lips are obviously different from those of Europeans, and her slightly wider nose has a different style.

His gaze moved to the girl's big eyes, and he soon discovered her speciality - her left eye was hollow, and her right eye was even shriveled and shriveled, like a tearing gap in a painting that destroyed the beauty - this is A blind woman.

Her hand groped timidly on the ground, and Tom looked in the direction of her hand and noticed another pair of old fishing nets at his feet.

He gently kicked the net to the fisher girl's hand, and when he touched the net, there were a few small wounds cut by gravel on the girl's palm, but she didn't care, he dragged the net in front of him and began to pick it Her actions were slow and immersive, as if she had only one thing in her life to fix her fishing nets. .

"Hello," Tom shook his dripping hair and said with a smile, the fisherwoman who was cleaning up the fishing net, "beautiful lady, can you see me?"

He quickly realized that the girl might not understand English or Greek, so he racked his brains thinking about Egyptian, only to find that he didn't know it at all.

Tom felt that he was about to vomit. The turbulence of the sea didn't make him so uncomfortable. He shook his head, approached the girl, and shouted.

The shouting alarmed the vulture resting on the top of the tree in the distance, but it didn't make the girl react at all. Tom frowned and his eyes widened. She didn't ignore it at all, she couldn't see or hear at all.

"How did such a person grow up so big in BC?"

Tom felt a little weird. He looked around and saw that there was no one, so he took out his wand and put it on the back of the girl's head. The moment she felt something **** her head, the girl panicked, but Tom's spell had already been cast, and the girl just struggled. For a split second, her body relaxed, and her unbelievably simple memory emerged in Tom's mind.

There is no sound, no words, everything is so chaotic, except for some muddy and distant light and shadow, her memory only has smell, temperature and touch, under the outline of these simple elements, in addition to someone teaching her the basics of eating Nothing but sleeping and cleaning the nets.

Tom suddenly pulled his wand away, staring at the girl's stiff back, dumbfounded.

But the girl who regained consciousness from Legilimency turned her head sharply and stared at Tom's place with a pair of godless eyes. This was the first time since she was born that she felt someone other than touch. The presence.

She opened her hands and fumbled awkwardly in Tom's direction. Tom was a little flustered. He had never seen such a person before. He took a few steps back, picked up the herb bag and Haierbo from under the curb, and then went down the dirt road leading to the town. and escape.

Many young people in Alexandria have never even seen the person across the Mediterranean Sea, so that when Tom appeared on the street with a "muddy corpse" wet, many people regarded him as a villain in the underworld in mythology, compared to Egypt. With dark skin and full lips, Tom with sharp facial features and fair skin is undoubtedly striking.

Tom lost his mind to communicate. He found an empty house facing the sea, carried out a simple sweep, moved Haierbo in, and randomly selected a lucky passerby on the street to learn Egyptian, and settled here. down.

No one knew what the stranger had come to do, and the settlement, sandwiched between Alexandria and the harbour, had acquiesced in his presence after a period of confusion, not least because some old men recognized them as Greeks. , but also because of the exquisite silver coins with extremely high purity that he boldly took out when he bought them, and it is not that no one coveted the wealth of these two foreigners, but when the street runners returned home in a hurry and vowed to be a good person, such a thought Almost all were dismissed by malicious people.

As a city where foreigners can be seen everywhere, Alexandria once again welcomed foreigners whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Tom also put on sandals and a linen smock, and spoke fluent Egyptian in the surrounding streets. The nobles in power did not move, and with the help of magic, Tom naturally blended into the lives of the locals.

Two months later, Haierbo finally regained consciousness under his precise control, but the next course of treatment may last a long time.

"Are you from Greece?"

Just as Tom was making medicine for Haierbo, who had passed out again, a vulture flapped its wings and stopped at his window. Tom turned around and saw a man with a bird's head standing outside the window and throwing himself at him. Looking to examine, his eyes swept across the simple furnishings in the house, and finally stopped on Haierbo, who was wrapped in bandages.

Tom threw the willow branch that was stirring the soup on the ground, stood up, and turned his head to look out the window at the bird-headed man.

"Animagus?"

"Are you a wizard?!"

The bird-headed man took two steps back vigilantly, but his eyes flashed quickly, and his back hit Tom's chest. He reached out and touched the cane at his waist, but the next second, a red light flashed, and it didn't take long. , Tom carried a hairless vulture in his left hand and dragged a strong Egyptian man into his makeshift residence with his right.

The surrounding neighbors didn't even notice what was going on. The sun turned to the west, and after about half an hour, the man with the bird's head stood outside the window of the earthen house again, looking at Tom's back and asking, "You guys Someone from Greece?"

"That's right," Tom stood up with a smile and opened his hands to him, "Want to come in and sit? Mr. Wizard?"

"Oh," the bird-headed man didn't know the same question. He had already asked it once, and entered the earthen house at Tom's invitation~www.readwn.com~ and sat on the stool that Tom had just made out of two bricks. , took the tea that Tom handed him, and said, "It's been a long time since the Greeks have come here."

"I know, sir," said Tom, "it's been a long time since no one has been here in Greece."

This conversation can be called nonsense, but the two still enjoyed it. After talking nonsense for a long time, the dazed bird-headed man finally regained his senses and returned to his purpose.

"Can you tell us what happened across the Mediterranean?"

"Sir," Tom's expression quickly grew rich, and he punched the table where the medicine jars were placed, saying indignantly, "there is an evil wizard doing evil in the Balkans, the dark cloud of black magic The sun has been taken away from us. The poor Greeks can only flee north. I was attacked by the sea with the fleeing team. We got separated from them. We could only find a boat to go out to sea. here!"

Tom vividly told about the tragedy of the peninsula and the evil of the dark wizard, and the expression of the bird head became more and more solemn. Their conversation continued until the sun went down, and the bird head was in a hurry to return to his life, so he left in a hurry, but when he walked out When I got to the gate, I found that the street was already full of people worshipping the gods.

Standing behind him, Tom silently watched the bird-headed man's cliché preaching, and in the dark of night he noticed the blind girl who knelt down and kowtowed under the lead of an old fisherman.

He shook his head, closed the door, and heard Haierbo's hoarse voice behind him.

"Evil wizards are doing evil in the Balkans... Karkaroff, you are such a poor Greek."
