After temporarily blocking the defense system of the City of the Dead in Hamunapa, a large amount of manpower and material resources came. A large amount of resources controlled by the Eye of Horus were poured into the lost city. At least five hundred vampires came to the city. They were in charge of more than three thousand laborers and excavators. They controlled the only oasis leading to Hamunapa and transported a continuous supply of materials to the city.
Now, there were two thousand people digging and working in the city at the same time. Another one hundred vampires patrolled and protected the three priests that Terence had transferred.
Another one thousand heavily armed troops, carrying cannons, reconnaissance planes, and even airships that had been modified into firepower support ships, were in full defense in the desert. They were wary of other forces' probing. With so many people, they needed thirty tons of water a day. Every day, there were water trucks from the Nile River. There was also a large amount of manpower and material resources spent on the protection of the supply lines along the way.
Terence was first sent to deal with the scarabs in the tunnel. In fact, these scarabs could be easily dealt with by the flamethrowers that the vampires were equipped with. However, Chen Ang unexpectedly found that the scarabs that lived here had excellent magic affinity and a lifespan that was five times longer than ordinary scarabs.
After that, these scarabs became Chen Ang's property. He specially sent Terence to appease and protect them.
The two most important statues, the jackal head of Anubis, the god of death, and the falcon head of the rising sun, had long been cleaned up and excavated. However, without Chen Ang's orders, no one dared to open the things buried under them. Zhang Ziqiang looked at the nearby excavators who did not care and could not help but laugh. "It seems that the Egyptians have indeed been replaced. I'm afraid that except for the tribe of the mausoleum guardians, no one cares about these gods anymore!"
Hong Fan looked at the two solemn stone statues. It was as if he could still see the ancient Egyptians worshiping their gods devoutly. When he thought about the Truth Doctrine that was common among the Egyptians today, and the fact that they spoke Arabic, a subtle feeling welled up in him.
"If they still believed in the gods that their ancestors believed in, it would not be so easy for foreigners to steal their relics. In fact, because of the doctrine of the Truth Doctrine, the Egyptians spontaneously destroyed these things because they forbade worshiping idols. In fact … "Terence sighed and said," The task of us guardians most of the time is to stop our compatriots from destroying them. "
"Nowadays, even the young people in the tribe no longer fear the gods. Their purpose of guarding this place with their lives was not to protect the elder's rest, but to protect their own wealth and gold. They see this place as their own. "
Terence said sadly, "I don't know if I should be grateful for their awareness or desperate for their betrayal."
Hong Fan and the other Samsara travelers could only complain in secret, "Not to mention others! Even you betrayed me …
"The ancient Egyptians called themselves KMT, and the commonly used word Hamite, or Semitic, came from this word. Therefore, the ancient Egyptians belonged to the Semitic race in a broad sense. And the Semites are the common ancestors of the Jews and the Arabs, "Chen Ang's voice came from behind.
Chen Ang walked to the front of the two huge statues and explained, "The traditional belief of the Semitic race is that they believe in the one supreme god, Allah. The Jews call it God, and some people in Central Asia call it Lahu. The names are different, but the origin and meaning are actually the same. The relationship between the 'Ra' that the ancient Egyptians called and the 'Allah' that the other Semitic races called is self-evident. "
"If this guess is correct, the statue standing in front of you is the origin of the one and only god of God, Allah, and the three religions of the Semitic race …" Chen Ang gently reached out his hand, and a golden scripture was slowly pulled out from the secret chamber at the foot of the statue of Allah. Along the way, it did not trigger a single trap and was carried into Chen Ang's hand by the sand.
Gently stroking the dark golden scripture, Chen Ang stretched out his hand to Terence, who was next to him, and said, "Give it to me!"
Terence handed an octagonal mechanism box to Chen Ang. Chen Ang turned the switch on the mechanism box, placed it in the empty space of the scripture, and gently twisted it. The Golden Sun Scripture, which had all the sacrificial words and spells of the ancient Egyptian gods, was opened.
The Lord God's voice sounded in his ears: You have obtained the Golden Sun Scripture, side quest 1 completed (1/2). The Golden Sun Scripture, an S-grade item, one of the two scriptures that recorded all the spells of the ancient Egyptian gods. The Golden Sun Scripture recorded the secrets of the Egyptian gods, and required a very high level of occultism, theology, and knowledge of priests to read it. Without the approval of the Egyptian gods, you can't use the Golden Sun Scripture for now.
The other Samsara travelers also received this notification. Zhang Ziqiang sighed in disappointment and complained, "I thought with this scripture, I wouldn't have to be afraid of Imoden anymore. Why can two ordinary people in the original work send Imoden to hell with this scripture, but we, who have magic power, can't? "
Chen Ang smiled and said, "As expected!"
"And Evelyn is not an ordinary person. She is the daughter of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, the reincarnation of the soul of an Egyptian princess. O'Connor is the guard of Ra, the god of the sun. They were lovers in their previous lives. The pharaoh is the god of Egypt, so of course his daughter will receive the approval of the gods, even if her soul has been reincarnated."
"As for O 'Connell, he was the guard of the Egyptian Supreme God, the Sun God Ra, and he also had the approval of the Sun God Ra. According to our current terminology, they were both genuine second generations of gods. Naturally, the requirements of this book were not difficult for them."
"Then what should we do?" Hong Fan complained, "We don't have a good relationship with O'Connor. Do we have to threaten them to do things for us?" Hong Fan did not say something. It was not difficult to get along well with O'Connor and the others, so why make their relationship with the main character of the plot so stiff?
Although the others did not dare to say this out loud, they more or less had the same thought in their minds.
Chen Ang did not even have the mood to guess what they were thinking. The value of the Samsara Team in his eyes was decreasing day by day, so he did not need to invest so much attention in them anymore. He read the hymns and the seemingly meaningless sentences in the Golden Sun Scripture that described the teachings and majesty of the gods.
He sneered, "They think I can't do anything just because of this?"
Terence continued, "In the knowledge I inherited as a priest, there are vague records about this. It should be a priest who needs to pray before the gods, using pious beliefs or sacrifices to attract the attention of the gods, and then they will be given the keys to read this scripture. In ancient Egypt, only a few people could read this book in its entirety. "
Zhang Ziqiang suddenly became excited. "I knew that the Lord God wouldn't let us complete the quest so easily. If someone could easily obtain the Golden Sun Scripture and get rid of Imhotep, then the quest would be too easy. So we should find a plot character to use this book. O'Connor and Evelyn are the most important plot characters, but there should be someone among Imoden and the mausoleum keeper who can use this book. "
"On Imoden's side, of course, it's Imoden himself, and that Hafz should be able to do it too. But on the mausoleum keeper's side, that Eddie Hubbard doesn't look like someone who can do it, so it should be Dr. Terence who can read this scripture."
Terence secretly glanced at Chen Ang and smiled bitterly. "Even if I want to read this Golden Sun Scripture, it will take a lot of time and energy, and some special rituals …"
Zhang Ziqiang did not care. "Old Terence! Just tell us what you want. If we can solve it for you, we will solve it for you. If we can't solve it for you, we will overcome all difficulties and solve it for you! "
Terence looked at Chen Ang and said, "As long as Master gives the order, I will go immediately."
Chen Ang waved his hand. "No need!" He slowly slid his index finger down the hieroglyphics in the book. The page of the book in Chen Ang's hand, which was made of gold, suddenly emitted a layer of golden light. Countless complicated runes rearranged themselves at Chen Ang's fingertips, evolving into obscure poems.
Zhang Ziqiang and the others felt the Hamunaptra under their feet tremble slightly. The gold decorations on the obelisk, under the cover of the black cloth, emitted a dazzling golden light that almost pierced through the black cloth. The sunlight in the sky suddenly became ten times stronger. As Chen Ang read silently, a mysterious chanting enveloped the Hamunaptra.
Zhang Ziqiang and the others felt that as Chen Ang chanted, a strange premonition of danger enveloped the Hamunaptra. Everyone felt an invisible pressure pressing on their hearts. A strong sense of danger came from the sky, from the surrounding Hamunaptra. Many people felt it. The peace here was broken, and a threat was growing silently.
Chen Ang closed the Golden Sun Scripture and said, "I have forcibly peeped into the secrets of the gods. The ancient gods of Egypt are angry!"
"From now on, the calm period of the curse caused by the changes in the stars will be greatly shortened. It can only last until tonight at most. At night, all the curse and danger will be resurrected." Chen Ang turned his head and said, "Hong Fan, give the orders to all the teams and have them speed up."
Hong Fan hesitated. "What should we do? Should we give up part of the next plan? We don't have enough time. Should we stop the excavation in other places? Should we only target Imoden to avoid further angering the gods of Egypt? "
"Stop?" Chen Ang asked in return. "Why should we stop?"
"Their anger has allowed me to further see their weakness. Do you think this little bluff can scare me? Order them to further dig out their secrets. They are no match for me! They can only watch as I study them until they are naked, discover their deepest secrets, and further control and use them. Finally, I will skin them and extract their bones for research. "
