Fina walked out of the house and looked back at the shacks again. She had mixed feelings.
More than two thousand years ago, she had been here, but no matter where she went, she was surrounded by people. She had not noticed the humble temple guard family at all — maybe she had seen them, but she did not care. She did not even know their surnames. There were so many people in the crowd, and their mouths were full of compliments. Any one of them was more honorable than the temple guard. She did not even bother to pay attention to these people. Why would she pay attention to the silent temple guards wandering around?
Besides, at that time, she would not have paid more attention to these mortals. She had more important things to do, such as being by her side.
But now she regretted it. If she had just looked at them a little more, they would have deserved the respect they deserved.
Now, no one knew which pharaoh had ordered them to start guarding the temple.
The pharaoh had asked them to start guarding the temple, but he had not told them when they could stop. So they had foolishly guarded it for their entire lives, generation after generation.
That was too stupid!
At that time, no one thought that the glorious dynasty would be destroyed. Even if they had doubts, they did not dare say it out loud. Everyone said that the Ptolemaic dynasty would last for thousands of years, so there was no need to consider when to stop guarding the temple.
How could there be a dynasty that lasted for thousands of years?
Even the pharaohs of ancient Egypt did not have the same surname from beginning to end. It was just one side singing, and another appearing.
There were many smart people at that time. Whether it was the pharaoh, the high priest, the chief court clerk, or the head of the library, they were all people of extraordinary wisdom. Perhaps some people had thought about this problem, but it seemed unlucky to tell the temple guards when to stop guarding the temple, so everyone deliberately avoided this problem.
A small negligence or deliberate disregard by those in power could lead to an endless fate for a family.
Today, their fate had ended. It had issued an order that should have come a long time ago for the pharaohs of the past, freeing their souls.
Although their lives might have ended a few years ago, life was life, and fate was fate. Maybe the soul was nonsense to Zhang Zian, but Fina was willing to believe in the existence of souls.
The souls of the pharaohs would not die, so … her soul would not die either.
Fina walked back to the mound. Zhang Zian and Richard's noisy voices did not stop, arguing about problems that only fools would consider.
The other elves wandered around idly, turning over the broken masonry and sniffing at the fallen pillars.
Fei Na did not disturb them. Instead, he walked up a rugged path, bypassed several precarious walls, and arrived at the top of the ruins of the Oracle Temple.
It noticed that some searchlight-like devices had been placed in the ruins. The side with the light was pointed at the ruins, and there were long wires on the back leading to unknown places.
Perhaps, at night, these lights would be turned on, illuminating the ruins so that the tourists living in Siwa could admire the ruins from their windows, like a clown in the middle of a stage under a spotlight.
When it first arrived at the pet shop, it was told that the wires were dangerous, and that it should not try to bite or scratch the wires — it was infuriating. Did they think it was a fool? It wasn't an ordinary cat!
Therefore, it did not intend to destroy these lights and wires. Anyway, even if they were destroyed, they would be repaired soon. Anything that might affect the tourism income would always be solved quickly.
Zhang Zian did not climb up, because he could see that the remaining spire was already crumbling. There was a certain degree of danger in climbing, but for Fei Na, the danger did not exist.
With a few leaps, it had already entered the spire without disturbing the other elves, and climbed up to the inside of the spire.
Fei Na closed its eyes and began to pray for an oracle.
Ah! Dear Sun God!
You have come to heaven, become the creator of the gods,
Sit on the throne of God.
Your arrival has illuminated Our Lady of Nat,
Our Lady has extended a warm hand to welcome you,
Manu and Matt have also embraced you warmly,
May you bring prosperity, glory, sincerity, and holiness!
Praying for an oracle was a very complicated and sacred matter. It often required a long time of preparation, and then it was carried out with the help of the priest.
The priest was long gone, and Fina did not have the time. It was not even sure if the power of God Amon still remained on this continent ruled by pagans. But it could only pray for an oracle, hoping to create a miracle, just like what Alexander the Great had done more than two thousand years ago.
Dear Sun God, please let me see her once more.
It might not be difficult to see her once more, because it could already see that the place marked on the map in Peter's hand was her resting place. If the trip went well, it might really be able to reach there.
But what it wanted to see was not her, who had become a mummy.
Revered God Amon, please let me see her again … alive and well, even if it's just once.
This request was too arrogant. In the 6,000 years of ancient Egyptian history, there were so many outstanding pharaohs, but none of them had fulfilled their long-cherished wish to be resurrected. Compared with those great pharaohs, she did not have particularly outstanding achievements. God Amon probably would not pay attention to this ridiculous request.
No matter what method, no matter how much it cost, please bless me, dear Sun God.
After the silent prayer, it still closed its eyes, but its hearing, touch, and other senses were all activated to the extreme. Any movement in the spire, any sign that seemed to be a response from God Amon, would be detected by it.
But there was no wind blowing in, and the spire was dead silent.
What was the so-called oracle like?
How did the priests determine that he had received the blessing of God Amon?
Fina had been waiting, not knowing how long it had been waiting in the spire.
It had already heard Zhang Zian calling its name from afar, but it could not respond, for fear that if it responded, it would affect the arrival of the oracle.
Come on!
Come on!
It knew that praying for the oracle should be quiet and sincere, and should not be too utilitarian, but it really could not calm its heart. It really wanted to use a stone to block Zhang Zian's mouth!
As for utilitarian … Did Alexander the Great not have utilitarian motives when he came here? He wanted a country, and it only wanted one person.
The oracle never came.
Fina opened its eyes in disappointment. God Amon's power had probably really disappeared.
When it jumped out of the spire, Zhang Zian happened to see it.
"Fina, where did you go? I've been calling you for a long time, "he said with a hint of complaint.
Fina was extremely depressed, and angrily said, "Call, call, call. What's there to call? I won't get lost! "
"That's not what I mean." Zhang Zian pointed to the sunset. "Everyone just discovered something strange. It feels like the sun has been hovering on the horizon for a long time today, but it has not set."
