Zhang Zian, the mysterious girl, and the other elfins were a step behind Fina. They walked out of the whirlpool and came to this amazing and magnificent building.
This should be a room in a huge building. The walls and ceiling were all solid granite, and they had seen similar granite in the pyramids. It was difficult to insert a blade between the cracks of the stone.
The floor was covered with a scarlet luxurious carpet, and the copper floor lamp holder was burning with oil candles, illuminating the room. The statues of the ancient Egyptian guardian gods flickered in the candlelight.
In the middle of the room was a spacious bed. Incense was lit on both sides of the bed, and the room was filled with a calming smell.
The furnishings and decorations of the room were dazzling, but there was something that overshadowed everything.
There was a woman lying on the bed. Although her appearance was not as good as Sihwa's or Zhuang Xiaodie's beauty that was above the mortal world, and even judged by modern aesthetic standards, she may not be as good as those popular internet beauties. But somehow, she had a unique temperament and aura that made it impossible for people to ignore her existence.
Her appearance was typical of southern Europe. Her eyelashes were long, and her face was slightly powdered. Her eyes were closed, and her face was ugly. There was a faint black aura flowing under her skin.
She was wearing a very gorgeous royal robe, and her arms and neck were full of luxurious jewelry. On her head was a heavy golden crown. The front of the crown was a three-headed cobra, and the three-headed cobra was a unique symbol of the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
She was dressed so formally and wore such a heavy crown. It was as if she was dressed up for a national ceremony, but it must be very uncomfortable to lie on the bed like this. Normal people would not do this.
She seemed to be asleep and did not hear the sound of Zhang Zian and the others appearing. Of course, their movements were also very quiet.
However, in front of her bed, there were two women who looked like maids. They fell to the ground, their faces purple and black, and they had stopped breathing.
The door of the room was closed, and there was the sound of heavy military boots stepping on the floor in the corridor outside, as if the guards were changing shifts.
Farther away, people's cries and cries of grief and indignation could be vaguely heard. The sound was full of … the unique despair of facing the extinction of a country.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zian and the elfins suddenly understood where they were and the era they were in.
Two thousand years ago, the eve of the destruction of ancient Egypt.
According to historical rumors, at this time, Cleopatra VII was defeated and became a prisoner, imprisoned in the palace. She tried to seduce Octavian, but Octavian chose the former between the throne and the beauty, not following in the footsteps of Caesar and Anthony.
It was impossible to verify whether these rumors were true or not. It was also possible that the ancient Romans deliberately tarnished her image. After all, history was written by the victors.
However, there was at least one thing that could be confirmed from the current situation. She had already been poisoned, and the two personal maids had tested the poison for her, so they had died before her, and she … seemed to not have long to live.
Hiss —
A small snake slid out of her royal robe. It raised its triangular head high, revealing its hook-like poisonous fangs. It flicked its black tongue in and out, trying to show off to Zhang Zian and the others.
Zhang Zian couldn't recognize the species of this snake. It might be a snake species that had long been extinct in the world, but it was definitely extremely poisonous. After poisoning three people in a row, it still had the strength to threaten others.
If he brought this snake back to the real world, it would definitely be a rare commodity, but he couldn't bring it back. Just as he had this thought, a golden light shot out like a thunderbolt. Before the little snake could react, its body and head were split into two by the sharp claws, and its head was separated from its body.
Fina's anger was all vented on this small snake. It was the one that poisoned Cleopatra VII, so it had to be cut into pieces.
With the agility and reaction speed of cats, dealing with such a small snake was a cinch, not to mention that Fina was doing it herself.
Fina first cut off the head of the small snake with one claw, then cut the body of the small snake into several pieces. This was still not enough. Finally, it used its claws to pick up the snake's head and body and threw them all into the burning oil in the copper lamp.
Zhang Zian looked at the girl worriedly. He was afraid that Fina's angrily killing of the small snake had affected the direction of history, but her expression was calm with sympathy. She didn't panic or panic.
So, Fina was destined to travel back to this time and space to kill the snake and avenge Cleopatra?
Everyone knew that it was impossible for this small snake to break into the heavily guarded palace by itself. It should be similar to the historical rumors. Cleopatra VII saw that the situation was hopeless. In order to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy and being brought back to Ancient Rome to be paraded in the streets, she would rather die for her country.
The emperor guarded the gate of the country, and the king died for the country. This was already the highest consciousness that a feudal dynasty or slave dynasty could make. Regardless of how the people of later generations felt about her due to the influence of the rumors, this alone was enough to make many emperors, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. At least she didn't kneel down and drag out an ignoble existence.
This small snake was the culprit that killed her, but in the end, it was just a tool. Even without it, she still had many ways to seek death. The ones who really killed her were Ancient Rome and Octavian.
The snake's body was originally rich in fat. After being thrown into the oil lamp, the flame suddenly became more vigorous. The snake's blood fell into the fat, making a crackling sound.
Lying on the bed, she had closed her eyes, quietly waiting for the Grim Reaper to take her away from this world. She didn't want to die. Who would want to die? She still had many regrets. She didn't see her children grow up, she didn't see the eternal existence of the Kingdom of God, and … she didn't get to say sorry to Fina.
The snake venom was spreading in her blood. She felt that it was getting more and more difficult to breathe. Her closed eyes seemed to see the glorious ancestors waving at her.
She had let her ancestors down. She hadn't been able to protect their foundation, but it didn't matter. When the ancestors resurrected from the pyramid, they would definitely lead the Egyptian army to conquer the world.
She heard the sound of the oil candle exploding and noticed that there were a few more light breathing sounds in the room.
Did … Did Octavian and his army break in?
Something jumped onto the bed and stared at her from a very close distance. She could even feel the other party's breath.
She struggled to open her eyes, and it took her a long time to see the existence in front of her.
"Fina …"
Her pupils suddenly contracted, and her heart that was already at the end of its flight began to beat violently, sending even more blood to every part of her body. Her face that had lost all color once again became rosy, bright and dazzling.
