Ibn subconsciously clamped his legs together. For some reason, when he looked at Xie Jiatu again, there was a trace of sympathy in his eyes. But sympathy was sympathy. He quickly looked around and finally picked up a stone from the ground.
Self-defense.
"And then?" Otto shook his head at this moment. Obviously, there were more things to happen after this. He shouldn't stop the topic here.
Xie Jiatu shook his head and said with a look of regret, "At first, I didn't know what was on the Libra's tray … My first reaction was to pick up the thing on the tray — the thing on the right. Now that I think about it, if I picked up the thing on the left first, perhaps Sun City would look different now? "
Otto frowned and said, "The thing on the right is Seth's … Hmm, the thing on the left is Horus's eye. You mean, whether it's the thing left by Seth or Horus's left eye, they all contain their own will?"
"Yes." Xie Jiatu nodded.
Otto frowned again and said, "Then why did the left eye appear on the Pharaoh?"
Xie Jiatu grew silent for a moment. Then, he slowly said, "I... at the very least, I should be another me. I wanted to replicate Horus' power. That was why I created the Pharaoh of the Kingdom and implanted this left eye into him."
Otto suddenly sneered and said, "I'm afraid it's not just that, right? The Pharaoh of the kingdom fell in love with the previous Saintess of the temple and then gave birth to the current princess … This is your purpose, right? "
The princess's eyes narrowed and met Xie Jiatu's eyes at this time. She asked in a deep voice, "Really?"
Xie Jiatu looked at her and finally sighed, "At first, I thought that I needed a complete [Artifact] to contain the power of the Libra. But whether it's Seth or Horus, they are all incomplete. They are just weights on the Libra, not enough to become a [Artifact] … Not enough … "
"From the beginning, all the living people in Sun City were puppets that you manipulated." Her Royal Highness laughed bitterly. "Even I have been living in your hypocrisy all these years … The wisest princess in the kingdom, it sounds so ironic now."
"This is not ironic …" Xie Jiatu looked at her, and his voice became softer: "Because your life is complete … Before this, Sun City has experienced many reincarnations. The people here died again and again under the invasion of the giant beasts, and then resurrected again and again. Everything started from the beginning, and only then did they select the materials in the final secret chamber. Only you … Only you were born in this last reincarnation. You were truly born in the City of the Sun. You are the true Son of the Sun. "
The Princess coldly snorted.
But Otto said, "You seem to be in a hurry to tell us the truth … Aren't you afraid that we will kill you now?"
Xie Jiatu said indifferently, "Perhaps it will come out again soon. Over the years, the amount of time I can stay awake has been decreasing … and the things I can leave behind are also decreasing. If possible, I hope to be able to rest in peace. I am too tired … After more than six hundred years of wandering, I just want to find a place where I can sleep in peace. Immortality is not as beautiful as it seems … When you come back after enjoying the prosperity of the world, there is no one who can accompany you all the time … "
"What's wrong with immortality? I think about it every day."
The one who said this was Ibben. He muttered these words in a low voice.
But it was quiet enough here, and his murmur could be easily heard. Otto, the night watchman, glanced at him expressionlessly, and Xie Jiatu also glanced at him casually.
"Just take it that I am tired of living." Xie Jiatu smiled, but his expression was lonely and sad. Then he said self-deprecatingly, "Perhaps, when the real death comes, I will naturally regret it … After all, this is the human heart. You have to act quickly, I feel that it will wake up soon … very soon. "
Mr. Otto's gaze tightened, and he gently raised the black knife in his hand.
At this time, the princess hurriedly stepped forward, "Wait … I, where is my original body?"
Xie Jiatu looked at the princess and couldn't help but ask, "You … do you want to live as Claudia or as Yamanlana?"
The princess said without hesitation, "I am the princess of the City of the Sun."
Xie Jiatu looked at her deeply, and then whispered, "Underground … there is a secret room under here. Listen, there are two rooms inside. You can only open the one on the left. You absolutely cannot open the one on the right. This is my last advice to you as a father … my princess. "
So, under Xie Jiatu's guidance, Otto found the mechanism to open the secret room below … and he also successfully learned the way to leave the City of the Sun from Xie Jiatu.
At this time, Xie Jiatu slowly closed his eyes. He put the scale aside, then lay down and crossed his hands on his chest, "Finally, please bring death to me … No need to hesitate, I think you don't have a second bomb, right?"
Otto directly raised his knife — if it was something else, he would obviously hesitate, but if it was just to kill a person … there was no need to hesitate.
To eliminate the potential danger directly, there was no need to think more.
"Wait!" But at this moment, the princess suddenly reached out and stopped Otto, the night watchman.
Mr. Otto frowned.
The princess said indifferently, "Even if I want to end his life, I hope it is through my own hands, not you, a stranger."
He stared at the princess's eyes until he saw the stubbornness in her eyes. Then he nodded, stepped back, and said, "Hurry up, how to kill a person in the fastest way, I believe you don't need me to teach you … my brave princess."
The princess took a deep breath, "I will remember this moment. Although the situation forced me, I will remember you … remember the guy who forced me to kill my adoptive father with my own hands … This humiliation will accompany my life forever, until — I kill you."
"I just want to leave this place." Otto said indifferently, "You are welcome to take revenge on me at any time … If this can be one of the motivations for your survival in the future, I will be happy to."
The princess turned around angrily, slowly walked to Xie Jiatu's side, squatted down, and gently pressed the pistol against his forehead.
She stroked his cheek, leaned close to him, and whispered, "Finally, do you have any last words to me?"
Xie Jiatu didn't open his eyes. He was quietly waiting for death as if he had nothing to worry about.
At this moment, Her Royal Highness clenched her teeth and pulled the trigger … In the last secret room, the moment the loud gunshot rang out, Her Royal Highness abruptly stood up. With her back facing Otto and Iben, a drop of tear silently fell down.
Otto took two steps forward and glanced at Xie Jiatu … The bullet undoubtedly penetrated Xie Jiatu's forehead, and a finger-sized hole was slowly bleeding.
After that, the princess looked at him expressionlessly … Then she slowly walked to the entrance of the secret chamber. Suddenly, she stopped, and then the loud gunshot sounded again.
Ibben couldn't help but jump in fright. He saw that not far away, the unconscious and sluggish person actually fell to the ground at this moment!
There was also a finger-sized hole on the right side of her forehead.
Surprisingly, it was Her Highness who fired the shot … but she didn't even look at it. Before entering the secret underground room, she raised her hand and fired the shot. After that, she didn't even look at it and directly walked into the pitch-black tunnel.
"She even dared to kill herself …" Ibben couldn't help sweating, "Princess Yamanrana is really a ruthless person!"
Mr. Otto didn't say anything. He lifted the [Scales of Good and Evil] again with the black knife … Then he walked to the corner of the last secret chamber according to Xie Jiatu's instructions.
He groped on the wall, and finally pressed something. A basin-sized groove suddenly appeared on the wall … The groove was in the shape of the scale.
Mr. Otto glanced at the groove and suddenly turned around to look at Xie Jiatu, who was shot to death by the princess. He remained silent.
"Oh! Sir, what are you waiting for? "Ibben hurriedly came forward at this time," Why don't you open the passage? "
Otto didn't speak, and ignored Ibben. After waiting for a while, he suddenly said, "It didn't turn into sand."
"What did you say?" Ibben couldn't help but be stunned.
Mr. Otto said indifferently, "I said this high priest hasn't turned into sand yet. It's him."
Ibben's eyes widened — According to the experience along the way, the people here basically turned into sand soon after death … But Xie Jiatu's body was still there after being shot in the head. It didn't turn into sand, and it was still warm.
"Oh! Sir, you're really a guy who is more cautious than a poisonous snake! "Ibben said excitedly," Believe me, this is really a compliment to you! "
Mr. Otto glanced at this guy, and then directly put the scale into the groove on the wall — But at this time, Ibben couldn't help but scream.
"Wait, sir! The princess didn't turn into sand! "
Otto, the night watcher, instantly stretched out his hand and wanted to pull the scale out of the groove. But he didn't expect that after the scale was stuck in the groove, it seemed to have taken root. Even if he used all his strength, he couldn't get it out …
At the same time, in the last secret room, there was a slight tremor at this time!
Mr. Otto couldn't help but slowly step back. He looked around the last secret room, watching the dust that began to fall from the wall, and suddenly shouted, "Go! This place is going to collapse! "
With that, Mr. Otto dashed out of the door. He believed that Ibben would be able to keep up with him. Ibben had always been good at running for his life.
As expected, after Ibben shivered, he immediately ran … But at this time, his foot was caught by something … He couldn't help but look back.
"This is …"
At this moment, a hand grabbed his leg.
…
…
In the last secret room, the passage leading to the underground secret room was longer than expected … The princess kept moving forward in the dark, but she still couldn't see the end.
This was a spiral staircase leading to the bottom — she had never been to this place, even though she had gone to the outside world through the last secret room more than once.
Her Royal Highness took a deep breath. Her eyes were actually lifeless at this moment … Her hands were hanging by her side. It was as if she was just walking forward subconsciously, but she didn't know where her destination was.
She didn't know how far she had walked in the end.
Maybe she had gone ten meters, twenty meters … thirty meters — or even deeper.
Suddenly, she heard some water — The princess couldn't help but remember that when she was a child, her mother once told her that the people of Sun City usually used water from the underground river.
There was a water source underground, an underground river. This was something that the princess had always been very clear about — but she had never found a way to reach this underground river … At most, she just dug a well.
Finally, the stairs were finished, and she came to a place that was not so dark — Deep in the ground, crystals with light blue luster were inlaid in the surrounding rocks.
A river about ten meters wide appeared in this underground world … What she was stepping on was moist soil that she had never seen in Sun City.
The princess squatted down, dug up a piece of moist soil on the ground, put it in front of her, and gently smelled the soil.
She had dreamed of covering the desert of the City of the Sun with this fertile soil — using the knowledge she had learned from the outside world.
"So, it has always been here …" The princess smiled bitterly, stood up, scattered the soil, and walked forward.
In front, she could vaguely see a hut built by the river — there were no two rooms like Xie Jiatu said before his death … The princess couldn't help but frown and slowly walked toward the hut.
The road was obviously not long … She soon arrived in front of the hut.
The outside of the hut was actually surrounded by a fence, and there were some green plants in the yard … They were vegetable seedlings — It seemed that someone lived here.
The princess couldn't help but frown.
At this time, the wooden door of the hut slowly opened, and a girl was carrying a basket at this time, humming a song as she walked out … Her eyes met the princess'.
The divine weapon in the princess' hand fell to the ground at once. She looked at the girl carrying a basket in front of her, and her voice trembled, "Mother … queen?"
…
…
The last secret chamber.
Ever since Mr. Otto and Ibben escaped, the place began to collapse. But the collapse was not what Otto had imagined. Only the wall began to peel off.
But even so, huge chunks of bricks were still falling down.
The Pharaoh of the kingdom was dying, and the blood that flowed out had dyed the ground red … Suddenly, the blood began to shrink little by little, and finally flowed into his body.
Facing death, he suddenly opened his eyes … A young man in the palace guard uniform was standing in front of him — Boss Luo.
"Before your wish is fulfilled … please continue to gallop," Boss Luo said softly, "Eagles should soar in the sky … my majesty."
At the same time, lying not far away — Xie Jiatu, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment!
His body began to mutate … Just like the Pharaoh of the kingdom before!
His body began to crack, as if something broke out of this layer of skin.
It was a huge creature with a jackal head and a human body …
