"Is this potion different from the one used to make mummies?" The young guard looked at Princess Yamalana and asked.
As an essential mummy in the ancient Egyptian civilization, it was something that almost everyone knew. However, the craftsmanship of mummies was not something that ordinary people could master. Otherwise, the number of mummies that had been passed down to modern times would not be so few.
Princess Yamalana seemed to be surprised that this young guard was interested in the potion itself. She thought for a moment and said, "This formalin potion was obtained through a special way. Later, I brought it back here, and then asked the scholars here to study it with me. It took a long time to find the substitute herbs, and finally, the potion was successfully concocted."
"A special way … Outside the desert?" The young guard asked immediately.
Princess Yamalana said, "This way is not suitable for ordinary people. It's useless even if you know it."
The young guard just nodded and didn't seem to want to ask more. His attitude made Princess Yamalana's beautiful eyes smile. She suddenly understood why she felt so comfortable being with this guy.
Because he was just curious and didn't have any other intentions. Princess Yamalana couldn't imagine why such a person would become a guard in the palace. Maybe he was more suitable to be a scholar.
"Iben, are you interested in learning?" Princess Yamalana looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Learning?" The young guard smiled and said, "I like learning."
Princess Yamanlana went one step further … She opened her arms, and her expression carried a hint of fanaticism like a certain mustached head of state. "Ibn, you are still young, you still have a lot of time in the future … Have you ever thought about changing your life through learning? Think about it, as a guard in the palace, you may have to wait until you are 40 years old before you can start your career. During this process, you don't know if you can survive every night and the longest day. But if you are willing to learn and be a scholar, the situation will be different. I will try my best to protect every scholar who is loyal to me … Because scholars are the most important wealth of the kingdom! Do you know what everything in this research institute is? The things here can help us kill the giant beasts more efficiently, and can help us understand the characteristics of the giant beasts, their living habits, and even the origin of these giant beasts … All of these are the subjects called 'science'! And 'science' is the only ultimate power that can change the world! "
The young guard suddenly said, "No wonder the people here look so young … Did the princess encourage them to come in before?"
Princess Yamalana said, "Only young people have passion and the courage to challenge tradition! That's right, although the scholars here were young, their knowledge was definitely not much worse than those famous scholars in the kingdom! They are even more energetic and willing to come into contact with new subjects than the old scholars … The future has always been in the hands of the younger generation! "
Seeing that Princess Yamalana was getting more and more excited, the young guard said casually, "I think I need to think about it."
Princess Yamalana didn't seem to be disappointed because of this. She even seemed to have expected this reaction. "It's okay. You should think about it carefully. Think about it carefully. Think about it carefully. Think about what this country really needs! I will wait for your answer, Ibn! "
They looked at each other for a few breaths.
The young guard acted as if this conversation didn't happen. He turned around and looked at the giant beast's head in the pool, "Your Highness, it seems that this place has been studied for a while … I don't know if the scholars here have found the origin of these giant beasts."
Princess Yamalana seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the indifference of the young guard … She frowned slightly, but soon calmed down and said indifferently, "These giant beasts shouldn't be so huge … In fact, through collecting specimens for so many years, we found that these giant beasts and many ordinary creatures living in the desert have similar structures … Look here."
Princess Yamalana pointed to the pool on the other side — There were many pools of different sizes here, and the one the young guard was standing on was just one of them.
On the other side of the pool, there was a complete corpse of a giant beast … The total volume of this giant beast's corpse was about the size of the giant beast's head … It was about three meters high.
"Look, what does this giant beast look like?" Princess Yamalana asked directly.
The young guard said, "It looks a bit like a scorpion."
"Yes, it looks like a scorpion." Princess Yamalana nodded, "Through hunting this giant beast, we found that it has the same habits as a scorpion. After that, we broke open its body and found that its internal organs were basically the same as a scorpion's … However, its internal organs were obviously stronger, its shell had become stronger, and its pincers had become sharper. It could even shoot out venom to corrode rocks and sand … Its speed was even more astonishing. "
Speaking of this, Princess Yamalana couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly. "If it weren't for the fact that these giant beasts don't like to live in groups and even kill each other, we wouldn't have any chance of winning against such powerful beasts."
"What is this?" The young guard pointed to the giant beast's body in the pool, which looked like a mutated scorpion, and asked.
If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be something similar on the forehead of the giant beast's head in the pool, which was a black crystal that looked like a crystal.
Princess Yamalana frowned and said, "In fact, we don't know what it is … Not every giant beast has this kind of [Cursed Stone]. Only extremely powerful or special giant beasts can find this kind of crystal."
"Why is it called the [Cursed Stone]?"
Princess Yamalana thought for a while and said, "If anyone touches it by accident, their body will be corroded, and then they will become a pile of sand. It's like being cursed by the enemy of the Sun God, the evil Desert Master … So, we call it the [Cursed Stone]."
"Desert Master … Seth?" The young guard thought for a while.
Princess Yamalana frowned and asked with a warning look in her eyes, "Iben, in the City of the Sun, you are not allowed to mention this evil name … You should know that!"
… I just found out.
The young guard said, "But Your Highness just told me that we should be brave enough to challenge those old things."
At the same time, as the saintess of the temple of the Sun God, Princess Yamalana's face darkened. "Mortals shouldn't comment on the gods … As the people of the Sun God, we should follow the rules of the gods!"
However, the young guard suddenly smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Princess Yamalana frowned.
The young guard casually glanced at the passage that they came in from, and then he looked at the princess and said slowly, "[Science], the ultimate power to change the world … This is what you believe in, Your Highness. I'm just curious, I don't know if the power of [Science] can defeat the gods. "
His voice wasn't loud, but it suddenly silenced all the sounds in the entire research institute … It was quiet all around, and the busy scholars all stopped and looked at this young guard.
There was fear in their eyes … and confusion, and even a trace of fanaticism.
Princess Yamalana opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something … The princess looked around, and suddenly waved her hand and said in a deep voice, "Today's visiting time is over! The banquet should have started, and I should be there … Come with me! "
Finally, under the silent gaze of many young scholars, the young guard and Princess Yamalana slowly left this heavily guarded research institute.
After the princess and the guard left, the young scholars gathered together and whispered something.
"Did you hear that? He said that!"
"Shh … This is a taboo, don't mention it again!"
"Since it's a taboo, then why are we here? Isn't it just to challenge … "
"Shut up!"
The scholars suddenly kept quiet out of fear … Because the one who said 'shut up' was the oldest one among them, and also one of the founders who first followed the princess to establish the research institute.
The brief chaos was quickly suppressed, and the young scholars began their research work again … But no one noticed that in the midst of the sudden discussion and commotion, a black shadow had quietly broken into the research institute … and quietly walked deeper into the research institute.
That was the place where the princess didn't take the young guard to visit … where the core secrets of the research institute were kept.
…
…
Princess Yamalana didn't say anything along the way, and walked alone in the front … until she saw the lights in front of her, which was probably not far from the banquet.
The princess suddenly stopped, "Iben, I hope you won't tell anyone what happened today."
The young guard curiously asked, "The research institute is in the palace, in such a big building … Don't the people in the palace know about it?"
Princess Yamalana shook her head, "The people in the palace, including the great god, know that I have such a research institute, but they just think it's a place where I use it to research weapons to deal with the giant beasts … I'm talking about 'science', and what you said at the end … If you don't want to be regarded as a heretic by the kingdom, you'd better not say the same words again."
"Then what's your answer, princess?" The young guard asked in a low voice.
"What?" Princess Yamalana was stunned subconsciously, and even her face darkened.
The young guard acted like he didn't see it, and continued to ask, "Princess, do you think 'science' can defeat the gods … as the ultimate force to change the world?"
"I said it!" Princess Yamalana was instantly furious, "Don't say the same words again … Iben, do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
Princess Yamalana was so angry that she even took out the artifact that she kept with her, and pointed it at the young guard.
The young guard shook his head, "As the princess of the kingdom, I believe that you have the right to do so."
"Then why did you do it!" Princess Yamalana glared at him, and her expression became more and more fierce.
The young guard said, "Because I want to know, if Your Highness wants to recruit me as your scholar … Will you be willing to open your heart to me? I want to know, what do you believe in, is it the gods or … science? "
The artifact – the pistol shook a few times because of the emotional fluctuation of the holder at this time. Princess Yamalana took a deep breath, and finally lowered the artifact slowly, and then put it away.
Then she said slowly, "Use your eyes to see … You can judge for yourself whether it's worth being a scholar or not. This is the last warning, you're not allowed to say the same words for the third time … Next time, I won't hesitate at all. "
"I see …" The young guard nodded, and then said softly, "Then, let me follow you for the time being … Use my eyes to see clearly."
Princess Yamalana's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly, and then she snorted and turned around.
… This guy, is he doing it on purpose?
… These words, compared to flirting, are …
At this moment.
"Quick! Come here and look for it! I will definitely find it! Find something that can make the princess smile … Haha, I will become the princess of the kingdom! "
"Dream on! The person who can find something that can make the princess smile must be me! Get out of my way, all of you! "
"Hahaha! I didn't expect Princess Yamalana's question to be so simple, I already know the answer! "
A few palace guards, and a man who looked like a young master of a minister's family, rushed into the courtyard at this time, and then they started to look for something everywhere.
They didn't talk loudly … But it was enough for Princess Yamalana, who was in the dim corridor, to hear them clearly.
Princess Yamalana was stunned. She was a smart person, and just by listening to these men's words, she had already guessed what was going on.
The general idea was that the princess gave a question, and the man who could solve this question would be her guest … The princess?
But Princess Yamalana didn't remember when she gave a question!
"Could it be … Father?" Princess Yamalana was confused. She knew that she had a bad relationship with the Pharaoh of the kingdom, and in order to restrict her, the Pharaoh did want her to get married.
"You really want me to …" Princess Yamalana silently looked at the banquet lights not far away, and suddenly sighed slowly.
"What happened?" The young guard walked forward and asked curiously.
At this moment, Princess Yamalana raised her head and looked at the young guard in front of her. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth … The princess suddenly reached out her hand and took off her earring, stuffing it into the young guard's hand.
"You, take this earring to the Pharaoh, and then tell him … I already have the answer!"
The young guard: "???"
Father, since you want me to get married so much … I will fulfill your wish!
