The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing
Page 251
There are brightly colored murals carved on the stone walls, and the words carved on them describe the deeds of the sun god Ra, who traveled back and forth every day in the sun boat to bring light to the world.
"There is a temple in front of us that worships God. Stop here. Only one person followed me in."
Nitocris stopped at the bottom of the doorway and spoke to everyone.
"The queen of the sky has no ill intentions in her heart, so you can go with confidence."
Arash pointed to his eyes. Not only could his eyes see tens of kilometers away, but he could also see into people's hearts.
"Well, leave it to me."
Ritsuka Fujimaru nodded and walked over alone.
"Very well, bow your head and be in reverence, even as I enter the abode of the gods."
Nitocris continued to walk forward and passed through the archway. The courtyard inside the temple was filled with densely arranged thick columns.
Walking into those pillars is like walking into a forest, with no visible boundaries.
The densely arranged tall pillars give people a sense of majesty and horror, highlighting the majesty and solemnity of the temple as the residence of gods.
The entire temple is a closed structure, with only side windows on the top that let in a little light, creating a dark and mysterious atmosphere.
The further you go inside, the narrower the temple walls become, the ground rises with each step, and the roof drops down, making the space seem more and more closed.
I walked all the way to the innermost room, where I could hardly see much light and the door was so narrow that only a person could pass through.
At the end of the room was a shrine with statues of four gods: Ra, Osiris, Set, and Horus.
However, the face on the statue does not seem to be normal, but has been replaced with the face of another person. This is a common practice in Egypt, replacing the face of the statue with the face of the pharaoh to show that the pharaoh has become a god.
"When the great serpent of darkness emerged from the Nile to fight the Sun King, the great Sun King saw in advance that he would be defeated.
The Sun King did not waste his strength in the fight with Apophis, but reserved his light to send me and all the people of Elin who could be saved here.
I, an immature Pharaoh, was able to escape, probably because of my immaturity. I was unable to help the Sun King and could only wait here for the arrival of an equally great Pharaoh who could accomplish this task.
You need to come here when you return from Egypt, which has fallen into the control of the dark serpent. Then I will give you everything that the Sun King has entrusted to me and take it back to the great Pharaoh.
At this moment, I will give you the glory of the great Pharaoh and the blessings of the gods, and you will be able to walk smoothly on the land of Egypt."
Along the way, Nitocris told everyone what she had experienced. Before arriving at the shrine, Nitocris opened the door of the shrine and lit the candles.
"You, who are carrying the will of Pharaoh, have a noble responsibility. You are no different from those priests. You should change clothes, apply oil, and offer food and drink to the gods."
Nitocris used magic to create many props and guided Fujimaru Ritsuka to complete the ritual of worshiping the god.
After completing all this, Nitocris took Fujimaru Ritsuka out of the temple and guided this kind of person to the place where guests were entertained.
The reception room has been decorated, and various foods and wines are placed on the table in order.
"You can rest here for a day or two to recover, and then set off to complete the Pharaoh's mission."
Although the food on the table was not too rich, it was already a very good treatment compared to the hardship they had experienced during the day.
"This is the map of Egypt we used before. It records all the towns in this desert. If you want to avoid the Sphinx Group, you must avoid the areas where temples are built."
Nitocris prepared a map of the place for everyone, and brought camels and horses to a few people, and prepared everything they needed for departure.
Everyone spent their time here quite happily, recovering their magic power and spirit.
However, the comfortable environment is not enough to keep them. Now that everyone has almost recovered, it is time to move forward.
"As the god Major, I bless you on this journey. I hope that what I have done can help you and enable you to successfully complete the task assigned by Pharaoh.
I will wait for your safe return here, and then give you all my strength to bring true light to Egypt, which has fallen into darkness."
Nitocris led the remaining people in the area to bid farewell to Ritsuka Fujimaru and his group, and watched them pass through the barrier that isolated information and once again head towards the desert shrouded in darkness.
"Now that we have a general geographical overview of this desert, avoiding the main dangers and heading towards the center, it should only take another half a day."
The people who set out also followed the directions planned on the map given by Nitocris, riding camels and horses, bypassing the temple buildings protected by the sphinxes, and moving smoothly towards their destination.
This time, the group did not encounter any serious danger. They only encountered sporadic Sphinx movements occasionally, but they just had to defeat them and then evacuate while the Sphinx was repairing itself.
Unless it encounters a group of Sphinxes, its self-repair speed cannot keep up with the damage caused by these few people.
"We are finally here... But we can't avoid the Sphinx here anymore. We must try the gift from the ancient queen."
The outline of a tall pyramid appeared in Arash's eyes, which cheered him up.
But similarly, on the outskirts of the capital city where the tall pyramids are located, a group of sphinxes of incredible size patrol there.
It is not impossible for the enemy to break through by force, but the noise caused by doing so will inevitably attract the attention of the owner here.
Their purpose in this trip was not to subdue the nine beasts, but just to understand the situation here.
They took the white cloth from the camel and covered themselves with it. The white cloth looked somewhat similar to the one worn by Nitocris. In a blink of an eye, several Medjed gods appeared on the ground.
Although they didn't know whether it would work, they didn't have any other choice but this was the only one they could try.
Hassan the Curse-arm settled the camels and horses, and after Arash marked them, several people walked forward covered with white cloth.
After putting on white cloth and pretending to be Medjay, they moved forward without causing any reaction.
Even when passing near the Sphinx, the Sphinxes seemed to see nothing and did not change their actions.
This allowed them to successfully pass through the Sphinx patrolling outside the town and arrive at the golden city.
"We're finally here. But...is this really...Egypt?"
Chapter 68: Fake
"It's indeed a bit exaggerated. After the Sun King arrived, I also took a glimpse of it from afar. But although this is also a prosperous and vibrant city, it is not as bad as this..."
Cursed Hasan also shook his head again and again, looking quickly at the prosperous and dazzling city that appeared in front of everyone.
"This scene is beyond human development. Pyramids reaching up to the sky and golden streets shining brightly are not something that can be seen even in the 21st century."
As Mashu spoke, she walked forward cautiously, raised the shield in her hand and knocked on the city wall twice.
"Confirmed, this... is indeed gold. According to what Lord Cursed Arm Hassan said, the abnormal scene here should be caused by the evil here, which is somewhat understandable."
"The kingdom of gold, tsk, it's like a crazy legend that only comes from the mouths of wandering poets."
Even in the earlier era when the heroes of this battle lived, even in that era when the mystery had not yet faded, the city made of gold was still an incredible legend.
"It's indeed a difficult situation to understand, but let's collect intelligence first. This is also our job."
After expressing your inner feelings, it is time to calm down and sneak into this city to complete the mission entrusted to you.
The crowd continued to wear the white cloth given by Nitocris, climbed over the city walls, and stepped onto the streets that were also made of gold.
There didn't seem to be many people living in the outskirts of this magnificent city, and the few people who sneaked in successfully entered without encountering any risks.
They walked carefully along the street, observing the surrounding buildings and guarding against enemies that might appear at any time.
"The style of the houses here is quite strange. Is it because they are built entirely of gold? They don't look like Egyptian houses, but more like Mesopotamian houses."
In the absence of Dr. Roman, it is Matthew's job to popularize knowledge. After observing the surrounding buildings, Matthew said with some surprise.
The architectural style here is obviously different from that of Upper and Lower Egypt. Instead, it is closer to the Mesopotamian region, which is also the birthplace of civilization and not far from Egypt.
"Perhaps this indicates the identity of the evil being, a figure like an evil god from Mesopotamia?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed and made a guess based on this information, but just from this alone, we can't tell anything.
"and many more……"
Elijah suddenly stopped, raised his right hand to signal everyone to stop, and closed his eyes, as if he was sensing something.
"Someone is approaching, there are quite a few of them... I'm afraid we were discovered when we came in."
After saying this, Ilya lifted up the white cloth on his body, revealing his rock sword in his hand.
"I was wondering why I haven't seen anyone in such a short time. Although such a magnificent city doesn't look like a place where people live, it shouldn't be so deserted."
Arash picked up the crimson bow in his hand, and the magic arrow was already on the bowstring. In an instant, hundreds of arrows could fly out from his hand.
"Confirmed that the enemy is an Egyptian soldier, please give orders, Master!"
It was not until the warrior's figure appeared before everyone's eyes that the sounds of footsteps, horse hooves and chariot wheels reached everyone's ears. Before that, everything seemed to be obscured.
Egyptian soldiers holding shields and bronze scimitars or axes marched out in a line, and the workers' soldiers followed closely behind the infantry, shooting arrows first.
Then, from both sides of the road and the roofs of the houses, some lightly-armored archers appeared one after another, drawing their bows and shooting arrows quickly.
The sound of horse hooves and chariot wheels could be heard from both sides of the street. The soldiers in the chariots were attacking from both sides.
The infantry and chariots coordinated with each other to launch the attack. These soldiers had undoubtedly learned the information about the invaders long ago, formed a formation and ambushed them, and chose to attack at this time.
Those who are here are naturally not ordinary soldiers. They are no different from the Egyptian warriors of the New Kingdom period. The arrows they shoot and the weapons they swing cannot possibly hurt the people in front of them.
The arrows that were shot fell into the golden street and disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace.
Some of the speeding chariots directly crashed and cut through the surrounding buildings, rushing over as if they were walking on flat ground.
"Is that thing really a chariot?"
The speeding chariot was able to turn quickly to avoid the crowd when it approached them, which made Mashu suspicious about the two horses pulling the chariot and the car behind it.
However, despite this, these soldiers could only cause some trouble to the enemy.
During the journey of the past few days, the cooperation between the servants has become quite proficient. Only Fujimaru Ritsuka gave brief commands in the rear, and everyone immediately performed their duties and began to disintegrate the offensive of the Egyptian army.
"As expected of the heroes who dare to break into the golden city built by the great king on this land, ordinary armies cannot stop them. There is no need to make any more useless attempts."
Behind the street where the battle took place, the Shenyue Fei group: 2-. / ㈥ ∝ □ 浏览 毶 ≤ ‰ ④ № · 四 〉 ≡ Above the palace, a man in a white robe similar to that of a scientific researcher said to the woman sitting opposite him.
The two people here are Paracelsus and Brunhilde.
"Hyde reported this matter before. He said that there was a group of heroes wandering in the desert. After he found them, they fled inexplicably. According to his description, they should be them."
Brunhilde nodded without turning her head to see what was happening over there.
"Let the soldiers lead them to the bottom of the Great Pyramid. Only there will we have enough power to deal with these invaders. Four heroes are not a small number."
Paracelsus seemed to be acting as a commander here, and gave orders to the soldiers standing beside him while talking with Brunhilde.
"Yes, my lord."
The soldier who received the order immediately turned around and walked out, passed the order to the next messenger, and then returned.
"We should head to the bottom of the pyramid first. Otherwise, given that guy's crazy state, he might attack us as enemies without telling us in advance."
肿□↑ZHuANQUN:啾0⒋⒏俬←“樲就/0`[⑤Paracelsus stood up and said, Brunhilde had no objection and they set off together to the distant pyramid.
"The soldiers are retreating."
Mashu reported the battlefield situation in real time. In just a short while, the Egyptian soldiers here had left behind nearly a hundred corpses.
Arash's fingers pulled the bowstring quickly, and every movement would take away a living life.
Although that may not really be life, the Cursed Arm Hassan, who had been carrying out assassinations not far away, returned to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"These Egyptian soldiers are not living people. They are more like refined beings. They are pre-made puppets with souls stuffed into them. Their retreat must have been ordered by the commanders around them."
"Then the enemy's retreat may not be because they are sure that they cannot succeed, but may also be because they are trying to lure the enemy deeper into their territory."
Hassan of the Cursed Arm analyzed and said, but he discovered the true nature of these soldiers, and only chose to return when these soldiers retreated.
"No matter what they want to do, there is no need to hide it now that we have been exposed. Even if we follow their wishes, as long as we can tear apart all those ineffective conspiracies, we can make them fail."
Elijah seemed not to want to miss the opportunity to pursue, so he crushed the Egyptian soldiers beside him who had no time to retreat, and turned his head and said.
"...The purpose of our trip is to gather intelligence, and we really don't have time to be careful, so let's just chase after them."
Fujimaru Ryuuka thought for a moment and gave her own answer. Hassan didn't say anything more, but agreed and turned into a shadow and walked forward.
"Sure enough, they have caught up with us. No matter what their purpose is, they will end up here."
Standing in the center of the entire golden city, the largest building in this city must be the place that those with a purpose want to reach.
Paracelsus and Brunhilde arrived here first, and besides the two of them, there were other people waiting at the bottom of the pyramid's stairs.
"Who are you now? Morley or Moses?"
Paracelsus asked the man sitting on the stairs at the foot of the pyramid. The man was none other than Morai, who had been lost twice.
"I'm Moses here, what happened?"
Molay, who called himself Moses, raised his head and glanced at Paracelsus, grabbed the snake staff beside him, and supported himself to stand up.
"Invaders have appeared in the city, and Anat's army has been defeated. I have determined that Brunhilde and I alone cannot stop them, so we are luring them here."
"That's the right move. I will deal with the rash intruders and will not let them disturb the princess's rest."
As Molai spoke, he raised the snake staff in his hand, and a strange red light appeared from the top of the staff.
