People are in the moon, The Sims - #124 - Chapter 124
The goddess with the head of a crocodile, the paws of a lion and the hind legs of a hippopotamus did not sink into the water after eating the heart this time. Instead, she stood up and walked towards the sinful soul step by step.
Under the fearful eyes of many souls, under the calm gaze of all the gods, above the judgment hall, under the throne of Setum, the protagonist whose soul has been harmed, the soul-shredding punishment is about to be unfolded here.
In the end, only the screams were left to echo continuously for a long time, constantly warning other souls.
Chapter 433: The Afterglow of Egypt
[In 323 BC, Alexander the Great died of illness in Babylon, and his mummy was buried in Alexandria, Egypt. His officers clashed over the succession of the empire. 】
[Ptolemy, the governor of Egypt, subsequently took the title of king in 305 BC and was called Ptolemy I. 】
[It was also during this era that Egyptian mythology began to come into contact with Greek mythology, and the gods began to have a certain degree of similarity. Of course, this was only for ordinary people. After all, it would be difficult for the gods of the two major myths to appear if they were not overly natural. Cross-region compatibility. 】
[In Greek mythology, after Io transformed into a white bull and crossed the sea, she painted a symbol of the mother goddess (i.e. the white bull goddess) in Egypt. This is a strong proof that the two myths came into contact. In the distant future, the descriptions of Egyptian mythology will also It was mainly created and left by Greek scholars during this period. 】
[And Egypt has finally reached its final glory. Of course, this glory is nothing compared to the previous peaks. It has to be said that this is the last person to invade Egypt from the outside, and they also pay attention to the local culture of Egypt. , and the invaders continued to develop. 】
[The afterglow that belongs to the Egyptian Gods finally shines on this land. For this, the Egyptian gods have also been prepared. When this dynasty comes to an end, it is the time when the gods say goodbye to this land. At this time, with The people on this land say goodbye. After this era, the ever-quiet reed marsh will completely close its door. 】
[Where humans will go from now on is their own business. Gods like them have been serving humans for thousands of years. 】
【I can finally retire for the first time! ! ! 】
[It is hard to imagine that the gods did not feel any sadness because of the end of the era. Instead, they worked enthusiastically, with happy expressions on their melancholy faces. Thoth couldn’t help but take care of his growing sparseness. Osiris was so happy that he didn’t sleep for two whole years. 】
[Even the gods in heaven have smiles on their faces. 】
[When the god Ra was still serving as a guard on Setum on the sun boat, he said with a smile that he finally didn’t have to fly in the sky day after day. Experiencing death day after day. 】
[During these long years, I have long been exhausted from working. In these more than a thousand years, Setum has also temporarily acted in various divine positions, and he has also had various kinds of things. With such magical power, even he who changes jobs every once in a while feels bored and exhausted at work, let alone those gods. 】
[In 221 BC, Ptolemy III died and passed the throne to Ptolemy IV. Ptolemy IV was a mediocre and pleasure-obsessed monarch. He killed his mother and other royal members when he first came to the throne. He easily listened to the words of those who were favored by him and allowed them to control the government. During his reign, political decline led the Egyptians to revolt, and the kingdom began to weaken. 】
[In 58 BC, Ptolemy XII was unable to make any comment on the Roman occupation of Cyprus. Cyprus was originally ruled by Ptolemy XII’s brother Ptolemy. This incident greatly angered the people in the country. The people were originally He was full of complaints about the kingdom’s heavy taxes, and the money became tribute to the Romans. Coupled with rising prices, it induced the people to rebel against the rule of Ptolemy XII. 】
[Ptolemy XII quickly fled to Rome to seek asylum. He took his daughter Cleopatra VII with him. His other daughter Berenice IV stayed in the country and was elected queen by the people. She co-ruled with her sister Cleopatra VI. 】
[However, a year later in 57 BC, Cleopatra VI was poisoned by Berenice IV. 】
[Bereniki is fond of fashion, banquets and jewelry. She is lazy and cruel to others, especially when dealing with peasants, slaves, or people from the lower classes. This makes her not a good ruler. She only talks about her Her native language was Greek, and her education was not high because she lacked the spirit to learn. 】
[Despite these shortcomings, she is kind and caring to her family and friends, and she is very beautiful. 】
[Just her kindness and love for her family and friends, as well as her appearance, could not bring her the care and respect of the people. Egypt, which had begun to decline since Ptolemy IV and was riddled with holes, became even more precarious. 】
[Under such circumstances, the Egyptians living in dire straits, in order to survive, can only do things that violate Egyptian laws and even their own souls. Tomb robbing activities that have occurred since the founding of Egypt have become Intensifying. 】
[Poor people steal valuables from the tombs to save their own lives. Embarrassed nobles will directly steal the former royal tombs and turn themselves into the owners of the tombs. 】
[At the same time, seeing this country heading towards weakness, many thoughtful people have also begun their own journey of transgression. Some people are planning to take turns with the pharaohs. Come to my house next year, and some people want to use various secret methods to resurrect those who were once The royal mummy made the former royal family his slaves. 】
[There are also people who are trying to use the power of their ancestors to save this country. Those people think that as long as the former generals and former pharaohs return, they should be able to lead Egypt back to its glory. 】
Near the battlefield between Egypt and Nubia, several Egyptians holding torches came to a valley. Various reliefs were carved on the valley, and hieroglyphs wrote a touching story. Here is a record. The Nubians once had the experience of killing many young warriors whom they called the incarnation of death.
Why don’t you go up to the pyramids that have stood in this land for thousands of years. But for people like them, these reliefs are from thousands of years ago and are genuine monuments.
Of course they had heard of the stories spread throughout the area. While they felt proud of the stories, they couldn’t help but feel a little angry that those arrogant people had actually set their sights on this place.
However, compared to the Valley of the Sleeping Kings, which has a large number of guards, the mummies of the emperors and the mummies of other princes and nobles sleeping in that valley are moved every time a war or disaster occurs. The young man in this small valley Warrior is indeed a better choice.
After all, the story also shows that the children sleeping here are indeed the royal children, even the children of Pharaoh Ramses II. If he is resurrected with secret techniques to serve him, will he enjoy the treatment of a great pharaoh?
Chapter 434: Grave Robbers
If they were the unknown royal children, the protectors of these mummies would not be so angry. After all, in the current situation where the Egyptian royal family has too many scum and unqualified rulers, people are also afraid of the royal family. Mitigation, although he respects me on the surface, I really can’t tell what he is thinking in his heart.
However, it is absolutely unforgivable to attack such a warrior who has made great contributions to Egypt! !
If they are the kind of rice bugs who are fed by the people and have no achievements and only have blood, or even the bastards who have oppressed the people, these protectors will choose to ignore them and even slap them on the fire. These bastards will suck the blood of everyone again. They should endure hardship and wait for them to atone for what they had done before liberating them.
They are the kind of warriors who once protected this land. Those tomb robbers should never attack these people and disturb the sleep of these souls who have sacrificed their blood, sweat, and even their lives for Egypt in the peaceful reeds. .
“Boss, this may really be the location of the mummy of the legendary god Setum. After all, according to the legend, it can be clearly determined that the god once belonged to humans and died in battle on this battlefield and was buried here. If If there are any valuable tombs in this fringe area far away from the Egyptian capital, this is probably the only one.”
Looking at the exquisite murals around them, as well as the stories described on the murals that belonged to more than 1,000 years ago, everyone seemed to have returned to that magnificent battlefield.
One of the people looked at the scene of Saitum’s birth described on the mural and couldn’t help but open his mouth. “It turns out that when the young warrior was born, the sun’s light was deflected and it happened to shine on him. It really happened.” It’s something.”
Although everyone around thought that this was just the process of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, it happened that the light passed through the gaps and windows and shone on the boy and his mother. This was not impossible. It’s something, but the probability is extremely small. If they had been born 500 years earlier, they would have thought it was a miracle.
However, it is a pity that although they respect the gods now, they are no longer so afraid. After all, strictly speaking, the Pharaoh, who is called the incarnation of God, has become so cruel. After all, even outsiders have become locals. “Children” of God, if you think about it carefully, isn’t it all a bit ridiculous?
“Boss, there are traces of the golden coffin being dragged here. Both the mummies and the valuable funerary objects have disappeared. We are a step late. Judging from the traces of fallen ash, we are at least two days late. “
The leading man turned to look at a girl, and finally nodded to the girl. The girl came to the place where the coffin was originally placed, put her hand on the lightly dusted coffin mark, and said something in her mouth. Strange language, it is not Egyptian. If you listen carefully, you will find that it is Greek at all.
The Egyptian girl in front of me is using Greek magic. In this era, with the constant contact between Greek magicians and scholars and Egyptian magicians and scholars, in today’s special era of cultural integration in Egypt, this is not something special. Nothing is incomprehensible and unimaginable.
Although it is a little laborious to use such magic due to the differences between the two lands, you can still more or less see some scenes from the past. Although you cannot completely find the location of those people, you can more or less find the direction they left, and you can follow the clues along the way. Although it would be a bit time-consuming and laborious to capture them, they wouldn’t just let go of those damn tomb robbers.
The Egyptian girl stood up, and then calmed down her body that was a little tired from using magic, but she also pointed out the direction in which the tomb robbers left.
After pointing out the direction, everyone immediately got on their horses, took out the golden mask from their arms, and put it on their faces. Generally, those who buy these mummies are rich, powerful, or capable. people. This mask can also help them hide their true identity and prevent them and their families from being disturbed under normal circumstances.
At the same time, in a small house in Alexandria, a group of people with a heavy earthy smell quietly poured into the room, closed the door and windows, and took away the valuable burial objects in their arms. Take it out.
While taking the funerary objects out, these tomb robbers lamented that this was indeed the tomb of the child of Pharaoh Ramses II, and that it was indeed the tomb of a young warrior who had made great achievements. The funerary objects in this tomb were simply better than those of There are too many unknown princes.
Simply placing them in the tomb, the row of golden weapons like oars is enough for them to make a fortune, not to mention some uniform burial objects made of gold that are basically found in all tombs. However, the high specifications and gorgeous materials used in these funerary objects are not comparable to those in ordinary tombs.
They, the tomb robbers, only need to hand over the stolen mummies to their employers. Except for the golden coffin, they can buy and sell all the funerary objects at will. After this job, they will not have to worry about these in their lifetime. Can people not be happy and excited?
These funerary objects can be bought and sold at will, but there is a condition, that is, the coffin containing the mummy must be safely transported to the buyer’s hands. Otherwise, those powerful men will not be able to sell the funerary objects when they sell them. As soon as possible, they will be mummified alive according to Egyptian law.
Seeing that the day of enjoyment is coming, this group of tomb robbers don’t want to make any mistakes in this last step. Otherwise, they will be unwilling to die if their souls are destroyed in the underworld.
You should enjoy it for a few more years.
“Please pay attention to me! This is the last step right now. If anyone has a problem at this juncture, even if he goes to the underworld, my brothers will tear him into pieces and stuff them into his mouth to eat! Why don’t we quickly wrap the coffin in black cloth so that no one can see what our goods are, and then deliver it to our big employer at night?”
The other tomb robbers around showed a bit of joy on their faces and nodded constantly. All of them knew that this was the last small step. As long as they took this step, they would live a prosperous and comfortable life. Of course. I will also pay great attention to it, and we will discuss the issue of dividing the spoils later.
“Don’t worry, boss, we will definitely arrange this matter well! There will definitely be no accidents!”
Chapter 435: The dead come back to life
After all, Alexandria is Egypt’s port close to Greece. It is also an urban port built to commemorate the Macedonian emperor Alexander. In just a few hundred years, this port developed into one of the best metropolises in Egypt. At the same time, in the legend, the mummy of the great emperor was buried in this city as a pharaoh, and many people would come here to worship.
You must know that this great emperor who spanned the Eurasian continent is still yearned for and worshiped by many people in this area. After all, the countries in this area were basically founded by the generals of Alexander the Great. So once How charismatic and capable Alexander was who led the kings of these countries.
Even if the city enters night, the lights are still bright, and the lighthouse made of torches and huge metal bronze mirrors at the port is constantly sweeping the light of the flames.
There are still singing and dancing performers on the road, vendors buying and selling things, and merchants transporting goods. This is an important area that supports the current Egypt.
If the current Egypt loses Alexandria, I am afraid it will be divided and destroyed in just a few decades without external enemies. After all, although Egypt’s current Ptolemaic dynasty seems to be able to sustain it, in essence It had begun to decline, which was why Cleopatra had to form an alliance with Rome.
Because without a strong ally, Egypt will be wiped out by other countries in this era of constant strife.
Egypt is a country that has stood in this world for many years. Even if the current Ptolemaic Pharaohs are not doing very well, deep down in their hearts they do not want to be a subjugated king. Now they are the pharaohs of this land. , are the rulers who bear the glory of this land, not to mention that they are also related to Alexander the Great, so they can’t be embarrassed no matter what.
Although this is very difficult for the current Pharaoh, it can be regarded as supporting their goal.
In such a city, tomb robbers pushed a wooden cart and dressed up as businessmen. They even added some spices to their clothes and the wooden cart to hide their identity as tomb robbers. .
Obviously this is not the first time these people have done this. Such a familiar approach did not arouse the suspicion of others. They even used special spice names when communicating with the buyer’s housekeeper. signal.
This is a huge manor, with its own private land. Judging from the size of the manor, it is comparable to a small palace. Following the butler into this small palace, the gorgeous interior made these tomb robbers open their mouths. Looking around, you can always see one or two with gold collars around their necks, and expressions of reluctance and disgust on their faces.
These tomb robbers also probably guessed that these people with unhappy expressions on their faces should be the resurrected mummies. Their souls were forcibly pulled out of the eternal tranquility of the reeds. Although their bodies were restored to vitality, they were controlled by others. , becoming the slaves of others is simply humiliating for these former nobles and royal families.
Their former slaves actually put collars on cats and dogs. As dead people, they were now worse than those pets. Even if they were dedicated to please them, they might not be able to have a comfortable life. How could they accept this?
I heard that there is a powerful female bastard who specializes in finding the mummies of famous and beautiful men in ancient times, resurrecting them and using them as her harem. There are many royal children among them. Although their bodies have regained vitality, they are dead existences after all. She doesn’t have any ability to get pregnant anyway, which makes this female bastard even more wanton.
For a moment, it seemed as if these resurrected people were just tools for fun that could be used casually.
Anger and unwillingness can only be suppressed in their hearts. At this time, after these resurrected mummies saw that new golden coffins were delivered here, their faces could not help but show a bit of sympathy but also a bit of schadenfreude. Their expressions seemed to make them share this lamentable life together.
The golden coffin was transported to the magic room carefully prepared by the nobleman. Here, some secretaries from ancient Egypt and magic transmitted from Greece can realize the temporary resurrection of the mummy. However, if magic power is input from time to time, the mummy will turn into that again. With the appearance of Fu Qiantian, this is how these nobles threaten the resurrected people.
Transforming back into a mummy is a relief for everyone. These souls can never be freed as a threat, and they are not afraid of these pretentious, resurrected people. How can they disobey orders? What’s more, as resurrectors, these beings who have returned from the dead In essence, it is still a corpse, and there are definitely many magic methods in Egypt that can control corpses.
Therefore, there is this sentence among the people who resurrect mummies: I like the way you are reluctant, but helpless, and your body obeys orders.
The fat man walked into the secret room and looked at the golden coffin in front of him under the firelight. He had a happy expression on his face. This was not the first time he had done this. Of course it was okay. It can be seen that the coffin in front of you is expensive to make, and there are no signs of being opened. It is obvious that these guys did not deceive themselves with fakes.
“Open the museum! But remember to keep the mask on your face. I don’t want to see that dry face and affect my mood later.”
Therefore, after the body has regained its vitality, and then take off the mask on his face, he can prevent himself from feeling nauseated and nauseated when he sees the resurrected mummy.
The so-called beauty control exists in every era and region.
The thick gold coffins were opened one after another, revealing the mummy’s body wrapped in magic bandages, and the golden mask of Anubis on the face added a bit of the sanctity of death to the mummy.
And this weird mummy costume also made this wealthy and powerful man frown slightly. After all, Anubis, as the patron saint of souls in the civilian world and the god of death, actually made it into a mask and wore it on the mummy. , aren’t you afraid of offending the gods? Even the son of the Pharaoh was a little over the top. Thinking about it this way, Ramesses II really had his own arrogance in his bones.
In this way, he did not decide whether the soul of this mummy still existed or whether it could be summoned back. He would try everything. He was looking forward to seeing the boy known as the Nubian God of Death lying under his body.
Chapter 436: You are very brave
Ancient and sacred songs are constantly ringing in this room. It is a pity that the existence of this song is not very awe-inspiring. Even the magic aria that should have been written entirely in Egyptian characters is not Many were replaced by Greek text.
A large amount of earth energy magic was also gathered at this moment. With the chanting, a large amount of magic was injected into the mummy’s body, and the small jar containing the internal organs slowly floated up. The dehydrated interior was also quickly reviving. Then he entered the mummy’s body, and it seemed that time was constantly going backwards. The dry skin that was occasionally exposed from the bandages also regained its moisture and flesh color.
“It is truly a magic that can be called a forbidden art. No matter how many times I see it, I always feel emotional. For me, the most important thing is that it is easy to use. As for the other things, they are problems that magicians should have a headache with.”
The fat man just looked at the recovering mummy in front of him quietly, with a look of anticipation on his face.
The lying mummy moved its fingers slightly, and then squeezed her palms as if she didn’t react. Then she sat up and looked at this strange room, the eyebrows under the golden mask. But he wrinkled slightly.
When the fat man saw that the resurrected mummy had such a well-proportioned figure, and muscles that looked good but did not appear to be overly strong, he couldn’t help but nodded and sighed in his heart, he was indeed a warrior who had been on the battlefield. , compared to those little flowers pampered in the palace, they are so much better.
“It seems that you don’t know much about your situation now, so let me briefly explain it. From now on, I am your master, and you are just my possession. Now I order you to come to me In front of me, I took off my mask and bandages, and then knelt down in front of me respectfully.”
There was a disgusting smile on the fat man’s face, and there was greed in his eyes. At the same time, he stretched his hands to his waist, as if he was about to unbuckle his belt. This action made the young man who had just woken up immediately understand. What did the fat man want to do, and at the same time he frowned slightly. Hey, I don’t know why I seem to be alive again.
I always feel that my current situation is not quite right.
“Are you… talking to me?”
Seeing that the young man in front of him seemed to be able to move freely, the fat man was untying his belt and paused for a moment. There was a bit of surprise and a bit of excitement on his face. The young warrior in front of him seemed to have good magic resistance. Doesn’t this mean he can have more fun? And isn’t it a very fulfilling thing to tame a naughty little leopard?
“Of course I’m talking to you. I’m the one who gave you life again, the one who brought you back to the human world. I’m also the owner of your current body. Maybe it’s a little hard to understand. To put it simply, your mummy is now It belongs to me, so you belong to me too.”
While talking about the fat man, he raised his hand, and the other side of his palm reached directly towards the young man in front of him. There were faint golden shackles locked on the young man’s body. The fat man was increasing his affection for the young man in front of him. Control.
However, no matter how much magic he injected, the golden shackles seemed unable to penetrate deep into the body of the young man in front of him.
In other words, his attempt to strengthen his control over the boy in front of him seemed to be of no use.
“What the hell does this happen?”
The fat man looked at the young man in front of him and adjusted the bandages on his body. After all, these bandages were originally just wrapped around the mummy. Compared with the body that has water and blood, the mummy’s body is more dry, so these bandages naturally don’t fit, especially now it always feels like these bandages are about to cut my flesh.
Although it seems that I am only temporarily reborn in a mummy’s body, there should be room for growth. After all, my body is under 15 years old. These tight bandages will affect my health just like underwear that is too small in the future. Physically developed, right? No boy should care about that aspect of himself.
To be honest, I don’t want to be a young boy all the time.
Let’s figure out our situation now.
“Although I don’t know exactly what happened, you must have robbed a tomb to some extent.”
Adjusting his overly serious tone when he was a god, the young man put on the golden mask of Anubis and looked at the fat man in front of him. Although the mask blocked his sight, the fat man still felt that the eyes of the young man in front of him were watching. Even though his tone was extremely calm, the fat man still felt a murderous aura.
“What tone are you using to talk to me?! You are just my doll now!! Why are you dragging me?”
The fat man gritted his teeth. Although he was a little scared and resentful, he finally took a deep breath and cheered himself up. He must definitely show the attitude of a master and properly train this bastard boy in front of him, even if he is Ramses II What about the children who are still alive? So what if he was a former young warrior? It’s not a big deal in his eyes.
However, the next moment, the fat on the fat man’s face quickly deformed, twitching to the side, and a gold-decorated foot kicked his face.
The bones on his face were fractured in an instant, and the entire jaw and mouth were distorted. The fat man flew directly to the side, hitting the wall hard. The pain made the fat man wail, but it wasn’t. Because of his deformed chin, the fat man would probably scream at this moment, this is impossible.
The fat man raised his hand, and the golden shackles appeared once again, which seemed to be the embodiment of the contract. However, after the golden shackles were put on the young man, they failed to have any impact at all. Tiantian, who was resurrected from the dead, The boy, with just a slight tug, the shackles made of mystery were destroyed.
This means that the special method he buried in this resurrection ritual has been completely solved.
In other words, the mummy in front of him has completely escaped his control. What should he do? Just now he seemed to be going to do something that would make the mummy in front of him very unhappy. Now the mummy kicked his cheek off, but what happens next?
The mummy in front of me is a real young warrior. He is the being known as the Nubian God of Death. He is different from the flowers in the greenhouse before.
