It would rain in the desert. It was the first time that the little princess saw a desert that rained since she was sensible.
Small droplets of water hit the ground, and the traces would soon fade away, but soon new traces would appear again. Then the ground would be more and more wet, and finally the whole sky would become gloomy.
She reached out her hand and let the water droplets from the sky fall into her palm. She held it and quietly looked at the small puddle in her palm, as if she was looking at the stars in the sky.
"It's raining …"
"Yes, it's raining … It hasn't rained for five years."
The Pharaoh and the Queen of the kingdom came hand in hand, strolling in the courtyard and enjoying the rare rain … This kind of coolness was very luxurious for people in the desert, even the nobles of the royal family were very luxurious.
"Yamanlana."
"Yamanlana."
They in the courtyard called the princess' name and waved to her. She ran happily into the rain and soon arrived in front of her parents.
"Yamanlana." The Pharaoh held the young princess up, "Remember this moment, my daughter. The next rain may be longer than five years. You won't have many chances to see this kind of scenery in your life. "
The princess said innocently, "Why don't we go to a place where it rains every day? It's so cool, and we don't have to worry about drinking water. "
"We can't get out."
"We can't get out."
First it was the Queen's voice, then it was the Pharaoh's voice. They became sharp one after another … The Queen's body suddenly split open and turned into a huge poisonous spider with sixteen legs. As for the Pharaoh of the kingdom, he turned into a monster with an eagle head and a human body …
"Yamanlana …"
"Yamanlana …"
"Don't come over … Don't come over —!! Ah —!! "
…
Ah —!
The princess suddenly opened her eyes. She felt something wet on her face, and at the same time, she saw the little maid in front of her.
"Your Highness! That's great, you finally woke up! " The little maid was still holding a handkerchief in her hand. At this moment, she was sobbing as she said, "I heard a sound. When I came, I saw something flying out. Your Highness, you were lying here with your face covered in blood. I … I didn't know what to do … This is great. I thought Your Highness would …"
"Alright, don't cry. I'm fine …" The princess patted the little handmaiden's face. She gritted her teeth and stood up with the help of the wall. "You stay here. Don't go anywhere."
"Your Highness, where are you going?" The little maid asked in a panic.
Her Royal Highness picked up the [Divine Artifact] that had fallen on the ground. After checking the magazine, she inserted the [Divine Artifact] into the holster and said with a serious face, "Temple … It went to the temple."
"Your Highness, what happened?"
The Princess shook her head. This was the first time the little maid had seen the Princess reveal such a perplexed expression. The Princess slowly said, "I don't know … Perhaps I can find the answer there."
"Your Highness, you … will you come back?" The little maid asked nervously.
The Princess looked back and smiled. It was the same look she always had when she was out on a campaign. She smiled like this and said, "Yes, I will come back."
As she said that, she took the oil lamp hanging on her waist and threw it to the little maid. "Take it. Help me keep it. When I come back, return it to me."
The little maid hugged the oil lamp tightly in front of her chest. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she nodded vigorously.
She watched the Princess walk out of the Pharaoh's bedroom until she could no longer see the back of the Princess. Then, she looked at the main hall in a panic.
She grew up in the palace, but this was the first time she walked into the Pharaoh's bedroom … She was always curious when she was young. Moreover, before she came in, something seemed to have happened inside.
The little maid hugged the oil lamp in her hand tightly and walked step by step into the main hall … Most of the 999 oil lamps that the Pharaoh lit were extinguished, but the main hall was still bright.
She saw the throne on the stairs in front of her and panicked. She did not dare to look up. But then, she saw the traces on the ground … A corpse on the ground!
It looked like the Pharaoh … But only a layer of skin was left!
The little handmaiden was so scared that she fell to the ground in a panic … She hurriedly got up and hid behind a pillar that was closest to her.
She looked around for a while. After confirming that there was no danger here, she walked out from behind the pillar in fear … At this moment, a strange sound attracted her attention!
The source of the sound was the pillar she was hiding behind — There were some cracks on the pillar, as if it was hit by something. There were even some bloodstains on it.
The little maid was startled. Could it be that Her Royal Highness was injured because she hit this pillar?
But inside the cracked pillar, there seemed to be something shining with a strange red light … The little maid swallowed her saliva subconsciously and reached out to touch it.
Just as she touched the crack on the pillar, the crack on the pillar expanded in an instant. Then, the fragments peeled off the pillar one by one. She immediately widened her eyes.
There was a strange thing hidden inside the pillar. It was glowing red. It was round and there seemed to be something shrinking inside … It looked like a human's eye.
She did not know what it was, but she felt like she was being watched by something … The little maid was scared and quickly left the main hall. She did not dare to stay here any longer.
She returned to the outside of the main hall and sat down on the stairs — The Princess asked her to wait here … Wait for the Princess to come back and return the oil lamp to the Princess!
The little maid looked at the oil lamp in her arms … It looked shabby and there was nothing special about it. She did not know why the Princess brought it with her.
She tilted her head and blew at the oil lamp. Then, she used her sleeves to wipe it — As a maid, she had to take the initiative to wipe things when she saw something dirty. This was the self-cultivation that a maid in the palace should have!
As she rubbed, the oil lamp suddenly became hot. Outside the originally gray oil lamp, a golden light suddenly appeared … The little handmaiden was startled, and the oil lamp immediately fell from her hand to the ground!
But at this moment, a red and black smoke slowly spewed out from the oil lamp.
At the same time, the little maid heard an angry voice. "I said, don't come to this damn place … Eh? A new summoner? Oh! My God! It's so fast this time. Is this lamp god's luck changing? "
It was bigger than a human, like a legendary giant beast in the desert. It was red all over and was surrounded by rolling heat waves. It looked even more ferocious … The little maid's mind went blank and she fainted.
"Hey, hey — don't faint! Make a wish! Make a wish!! Xu … Hello? " The red lamp god suddenly shrunk its body and frowned, "Tsk, I said, women are troublesome things!"
It directly carried the little maid up and then looked back at the sky that was about to light up … The red lamp god frowned again and muttered to itself, "Why is this place so weird … Is it dead?"
…
…
In fact, they met some white-robed guards on the way … and even some ordinary priests in the temple.
However, the night watchman Otto didn't even say a word to these people. Instead, he used the carbon fiber long saber he took from Otto the White Cloak to kill them.
He said that he was a madman, and his behavior was indeed like a madman. He killed people without batting an eyelid and was very efficient.
Iben had been following behind Otto in fear. Seeing how he killed people without batting an eyelid, he could not help but feel his scalp tingle. He secretly regretted that he continued to follow Otto in!
Originally, he should have slipped away when he was outside, but the High Priest's body suddenly faded away. Ibben was helpless. He was unwilling to leave just like that …
The bodies of the white-robed guards and priests that were killed by the night watcher soon turned into sand … At this time, Iben suddenly had an idea. Maybe the one in the temple that worshiped the true body was not some god's representative, but an unknown demon?
Finally, there were no more white-robed guards and priests on the way … The night watcher stopped in front of a door.
Miraculously, the door slowly opened as if it already knew that someone would come … The night watcher did not hesitate at all and directly walked in the moment the door opened.
Iben was a coward, so he did not follow this time. He just hid behind the door and peeped inside. The things in the room were basically things that Iben had never seen before, but they gave him a familiar feeling … a distant familiar feeling!
Ibben gulped, and a drop of cold sweat dripped down. He dared not to make a sound but listened attentively. In this room, there were not only the night watchers who had just entered, but also the chief priest who had disappeared outside the temple!
The night watcher put the black long saber on the ground and dragged it closer to the high priest. But he quickly stopped because he found that there was something in front of him that blocked his way.
It was a piece of transparent … tempered glass.
The night watcher sneered and casually knocked on the glass a few times. Then he sneered and said, "Those letters are your foolish people. They probably think that it is some kind of divine masterpiece … Sometimes, the gap between the ages is really convenient. So, you are also afraid of death … Xie Jiatu. "
"Between people, there should be a safe distance between them." The high priest behind the glass said indifferently, "When we observe this world, sometimes it will be more intuitive if we can observe through something."
The night watcher snorted, "I am not interested in discussing the philosophy of life with you here … As I said, I just want to leave this place. As for what you want to do and what you want to do with this place … I am not interested. "
"Otto, the king of the Seventh Dynasty." The high priest thought for a while and said, "I can let you leave this place, but I need more information about the thing you have been looking for."
The night watcher could not help but sneer, "Didn't you already know that from my … those replicas?"
The high priest shook his head, "Their will is more tenacious than I thought. They have been keeping this secret, so I can't know more."
The night watcher frowned and said, "During this period of time, have you been releasing those fake things in order to find the magic lamp?"
"Yes." The high priest said bluntly, "But I am not interested in the power that can make you immortal. I am interested in the power that can help people realize their wishes … I need it to do something for me."
The night watcher shook his head, "Unfortunately, the magic lamp will not respond to a guy like you who is full of all kinds of desires."
However, the high priest said, "Desire is human nature. No matter how pure a person is, there will be a day when he or she will find something that will drive him or her crazy. For example, you, the king of the Seventh Dynasty. When you obtained power, you wanted eternal life. After you obtained eternal life, you even wanted a lover to accompany you for eternity. What happened after that? You still have something you want, don't you? I may not be able to make the magic lamp respond to me, but there are many simple-minded people in Sun City … Among these seeds I have cultivated, I can always choose qualified works to become the new summoner of the magic lamp. Otto, I have been letting you hide in Sun City for so long. After all this time, can't you see that most of the residents in Sun City are simple-minded? "
The night watcher didn't speak … Silence was equivalent to acquiescence. He was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "If I tell you about the magic lamp, will you really let me go?"
"Otto, you and I once had a journey." The high priest smiled at this time, "In Cairo, we met. In order to explore the oasis temple in the desert, we went through a lot of difficulties together. You should know that I am a very fair and trustworthy person."
The night watcher sneered and said, "I really regret participating in this exploration … I shouldn't have accepted this invitation … How long have you been running this place? Ten years? Twenty years … or decades? I'm afraid it's more than that. "
Otto, the night watchman, looked at everything in the room.
Whether it was the metal wall, the huge tempered glass in front of him, or even the advanced equipment behind the high priest … These were definitely not things that could be created in a short time.
He even came to a conclusion. "Maybe … you have actually mastered the method of immortality, right?"
The high priest … Professor Xie Jiatu clapped his hands a few times before he slowly said, "I haven't lived as long as you think … When I was born, the hundred-year war between Britain and France had just begun …"
A hundred years … That was at least six hundred years ago … The night watcher was stunned. Professor Xie Jiatu was a human from that era …
