People are in the moon, The Sims - #126 - Chapter 126

Hearing what their boss said, the others finally calmed down a bit, and Setum in the coffin also frowned slightly. He was able to protect the Egyptian mummy and send it outside the country easily. Even those who cover up the traces of these tomb robbers must have great power. Maybe their guesses are true.

The sounds coming from his ears became more and more complex, and soon the Roman language was also introduced into his ears. After all, he had records of Roman life, so of course he could understand Roman language.

And these Egyptians were explaining to the Roman soldiers that they were going to send some items to the Egyptian Pharaoh, and the Pharaoh should have told these soldiers these things. This was indeed the case. These Roman soldiers only made a cursory inspection of the people and people. The things placed in the car were chosen to be released.

Just when Saitum thought he would follow the coffin directly to Ptolemy XII, the voices of several girls came.

Chapter 441: Reward

“Are you the ones who delivered the mummies? Come this way.”

It seemed that the voice of the palace lady stopped this group of tomb robbers, and these tomb robbers were not mindless, otherwise they would not have been hired by Ptolemy XII to steal the pharaoh’s mummy. At least they did not steal the mummy for now. He was stopped when he was sent to the designated target, and he was still confused and wary.

“We haven’t delivered the goods to the designated location yet. Who are you? Tell us your identity! How do you know our identity?”

Saitum, who was in the coffin, clearly heard the sound of a machete being unsheathed. Obviously, the group of tomb robbers had been alert. If necessary, the group of tomb robbers would kill the unknown insider with the sword in their hands. After all, The adult who made the deal with them told them that if necessary, he could kill even the people around him at will.

After all, whether it is the attendants, ministers, or wives around you, none of these can compare to the throne in your heart. As long as you are still the pharaoh of this ancient land, what can you not get? At least while he is alive, this country cannot perish.

Ptolemy XII himself had some self-awareness. Now that he had already entered his old age, his body had already lost money due to his early squandering. In addition, the age of the gods had declined. This guy could not be like Ramesses II. If he lives to be over 90 years old like that, he may only have a few years to live, and Egypt will not perish within a few years.

Therefore, he can still enjoy himself, so he can still squander. In the end, when he dies, he will not care about the flood.

Anyway, when history records his name, it will only say that he was a mediocre lord who did not save Egypt. After all, the beginning of Egypt’s real decline was not in his hands, and the final destruction of Egypt was not in his hands. He will only be a victim. Forgotten pharaoh, that’s not bad. At least the avatar is forgotten, which is better than being remembered badly.

I silently decided in my heart that I wanted to parade my daughter through the streets and behead her. Isn’t this the purpose of frightening all those who have other ideas? It would be enough to buy Egypt peace for more than ten years. As for the destruction of Egypt, leave it to your sons or grandchildren to bear.

What if there is someone among my descendants who can bring this country back to glory? But no matter what, I don’t have that intention.

Ptolemy XII openly told these tomb robbers part of his purpose in order to reassure these guys. Whether he would kill these tomb robbers would be a matter later.

“This is a Roman military camp. Everything must be done with extreme caution. Whether it is the battlefield or life, everything is changing rapidly. How long has it been since you set out to Jiangxi to transport this cargo? Now the original designated location Of course it is no longer safe, not to mention that the original area is so close to Pharaoh’s tent. Once someone discovers it, where will you go to Pharaoh?”

The female voice that sounded before did not contain any fear at this moment. Instead, its tone became more serious and full of majesty. Such servants are generally very similar to their masters. People with such a sense of majesty are probably It was really sent here by Pharaoh.

Thinking about it this way, what the person in front of me said makes sense, not to mention that in this Roman military camp, they have no way to hide their traces even if they use swords to kill people. Generally speaking, it is not worthwhile. Even if they cannot get enough money, they can I don’t want to lose my life here. Are you kidding? As long as you live, what money can’t be earned?

The tomb robber immediately put away the weapons in his hands, then carried the coffin and followed the maid in front of him in another direction. Even in the coffin, Saitum still smelled a bit of the fragrance of flowers.

They could feel the coffin being placed on the table. The tomb robbers immediately stretched out their hands, preparing to ask for money from the woman in front of them who had her back turned to them. With greedy expressions on their faces, they finished the job. , they choose to wash their hands in a golden basin, because the money they earn is enough for them to live a good life.

In this decadent era, this money is enough for them to sleep peacefully.

Of course, in such a decadent era that is on the verge of chaos, how long can a peaceful life last? How can they maintain the wealth in their hands without sufficient strength? It’s not something these tomb robbers have to consider.

The one who greets these tomb robbers here is of course Cleopatra, the future Cleopatra VII, the famous Cleopatra. At this moment, the girl has a faint smile on her face, Every gesture seemed to be a reflection of beauty, and just sitting there made these tomb robbers a little distracted.

Then the girl waved to the outside of the tent, and several maids holding trays slowly walked in from the outside. The trays were covered with red satin, making it unclear for a moment what was placed on the trays. What is.

Of course, these tomb robbers immediately thought that what was covered under the red silk satin was a reward for them. Just a few extremely precious financial items were enough. After all, when they poured out the mummy of the pharaoh, they also Some precious jewels were taken from the royal tomb.

Even for a young pharaoh in the dark age of strife, there were not enough treasures in the tomb, but there were some gold decorations. Think about Tutankhamun. He was also the last pharaoh. Although after that What emerged was not a dark age. During his reign, Egypt indeed experienced various turmoils.

First of all, it was the sequelae left by his father’s attempt to change the religious structure. Secondly, the new capital city, which he spent a lot of money to build, was completely abandoned due to inexplicable infectious diseases, and a large amount of money was lost. You know, in Egypt Moving the capital to such a place is definitely not an easy task.

In addition, there were constant wars at that time, and Egypt was not wealthy at that time, but even so, there were still a large number of precious gold ornaments.

“We’re going to get rich this way, right?”

The girl raised the corners of her mouth, held her chin, and looked at the several tomb robbers in front of her. Her smile was mysterious and weird. “This is indeed a ‘reward and reward’ for you. You must accept it well.”

Then the maids came to the side of these tomb robbers, put their hands under the silk, and then the expressions on their faces changed in an instant.

Chapter 442: Suicide? No need to

The golden dagger was pulled out from under the satin, then held by the girls, and stabbed into the throats of these tomb robbers. They even covered the mouths of these tomb robbers almost at the same time, and did not allow them to let go. These tomb robbers made too loud a noise, so that they would not attract the attention and excessive reaction of other Roman soldiers.

“Go and dispose of these corpses secretly, be careful not to attract the attention of the Roman troops.”

Watching her maids secretly take away the corpses of these tomb robbers and dispose of them, Cleopatra breathed a sigh of relief. She would not let her father send the pharaoh’s mummy away. This was more or less Their face.

But what should be done with this mummy?

Cleopatra tapped her lips with her hand and frowned. Although she could easily get rid of the tomb robbers, how to send the mummy out would become a new difficulty. Once her father found out If he found this mummy, he would definitely order his men to send the mummy to the Roman general.

“You are different from what I imagined. In this era, there is actually someone with such wisdom among the royal children.”

Suddenly a stranger’s voice came from behind her. Cleopatra immediately turned around and saw a young man sitting on a golden coffin. Facing the young man’s white skin, Cleopatra didn’t feel anything. How strange it is that they themselves came to this land from the European continent, and their skin is also pure white, and the color is somewhat different from the local yellow skin.

What made Cleopatra feel strange was the decorations on this young man. Compared with the current Egyptian art style, it looks like an antique from thousands of years ago. And when and how did this boy come here?

who?

Cleopatra couldn’t help but think of such a word.

“As a reward, I will fulfill one of your requests. At the same time, I will also be by your side to witness your choices and your endings. As for the title, just call me Wuming for now.”

His soul is a god, so his real name is also a god’s name. Those who call his name will receive his blessings. Therefore, after he returned to the human world, Saitum never revealed his name to others. Real name, even now sitting here, I can still hear in my ears some of the prayers of the people in the southern land bordering the Nubians.

Even if you don’t choose to respond, as long as those who wish like you are sincere enough, part of your strength will still be released. Fortunately, you are a small god in a place, and you are not as majestic as stretching. Divine power cannot naturally give everyone its own strength and protection.

After all, I don’t have any priesthood yet.

[God Saitum bless us and let us not make the same mistake again. ]

Soon, a voice came into his ears, attracting Setum’s attention, not only because of the piety of the voice, but also because the voice was close enough to him. You are a little god who is not well-known in the southern border area. How could people of their own faith appear on this northern border? You must know that under normal circumstances, the people of Upper and Lower Egypt would not leave their homes and exchange north and south during times of chaos.

This aroused Saitum’s curiosity. What kind of person would come here and call his name at the same time?

Setum emitted a bright golden light, and the Eye of Horus opened instantly, quickly reading the information of the girl in front of him. The girl’s name had already been engraved on the soul.

“Cleopatra…I await your answer.”

Saitum’s whole body turned into gravel and disappeared on the golden coffin. This was a believer of the god. When calling the god, the god could appear directly in front of the believer. It was precisely because there was no such thing in the Roman military camp. He is his own believer, so he needs to conceal his aura and hide in the coffin. It is much easier to leave now.

Outside the Roman barracks, the mummy guardians wearing golden masks looked at the Roman army in front of them and had a headache. How could they avoid being discovered by any Roman soldiers with serious discipline and find the stolen one? mummy? They tried their best to track it down, but they didn’t expect to arrive a step too late.

Then evacuate like this?

No…it can’t be like this. They have already sworn to find all the mummies. Even the prototype mummy of the god Saitum who was once missing must be found. Even if they can’t find it, they Their descendants will continue to search until their bloodline disappears in the dust of the desert.

“Members who left no descendants withdrew from the operation.”

The leader took off his golden mask and showed a slightly helpless expression. In order to confirm their oath and protect the faith in their hearts, if they really wanted to take back the mummy from the Roman camp, there was nothing they could do. There is only a quick attack, and then a quick breakout and evacuation.

This is an extremely dangerous operation. Death will come to them at any time. Is a mummy worth losing their lives to rescue? It can only be said that faith has different values ​​in everyone’s heart. This faith does not only lie in gods, but also in a certain belief in the heart.

Although the team leader believes that every one of his team members has the consciousness to sacrifice his life, he must also consider that the will of these partners can be passed on. Of course, whether their descendants are willing to pass on this will or not, their bloodline All will spread, and these descendants may inherit their unity or have a new life that they have never had. In any case, they will be happy about it.

As for those team members who had no offspring yet, the team leader couldn’t bear to let them participate in this mission where they were very likely to die.

Several young people took a step back, and there was a bit of unwillingness in the eyes that were not completely covered by the golden mask. If possible, they also wanted to follow the leader to practice their inner beliefs, but they also had to obey the leader. The command.

“If something unexpected happens to us, please remember our regrets. Even if it cannot be recovered, please find the whereabouts of the mummy of God Setum.”

Just as the leader of the team was making final plans and instructions, the golden Sally began to slowly condense into a human form behind the team, “Although I am very touched by your belief, I want to take the initiative to die. Such a thing No need to.”

Chapter 443: The title was eaten

Saitum expressed respect and recognition for the beliefs of these guardians. Such beliefs are not considered unique in this era. They only set themselves up for lifelong regrets and goals. Even if Saitum has become a small local God, even though he is a god without any responsibilities, still feels a little shy after thousands of years have passed.

After all, I was once a human being.

Fortunately, he has perfected what is called a poker face during his years as a god. Although he is shy now, he no longer shows his blush openly.

I am more or less a soul that has lived for thousands of years. It would be a bit embarrassing if these juniors found out that I would still be shy. After all, a person’s inner character actually has a certain relationship with his physical age. Unless he has passed through Special transformation, otherwise the hard physical conditions will definitely affect the character.

Don’t forget that even if this body is a few years later, it will only be 16 years old, and it seems that because of its death, the physical growth rate is much slower than that of a normal person.

After returning to this body, Saitum felt that his mentality was countless times younger. Otherwise, at the end of this era, even if he walked on this land as a god, it would not affect the final outcome. In the ending, for example, entering the Roman military camp this time, you can actually rush in directly as a god without sneaking at all.

But more or less, I was born as a human in the beginning, and I also want to end as a human. When the age of gods ends, I will exist as a god for a long time. Of course, because of the reason why I am attached to my mummy, I have divine power. There is no way to fully display it, and my current body has affected my performance to some extent.

“God Saitum?”

As the leader of the Guardians, the man knelt down almost as soon as he saw Setum. Since he is a Guardian, he naturally understands the history and culture of Egypt better than others. There is no doubt that this man in front of him The boy was exactly as described about the god Sethum.

The strange things that had been noticed in my mind were all connected together. It turned out that it was not that they did not find the mummy of God Setum, but that the mummy of this god had been resurrected under the influence of secret magic. Alexander had The mummy incident in Hong Kong, as well as the mummies discovered in cities and towns over the years, must have been caused by this god.

In this way, half of the stone in my heart was relieved. But they couldn’t help but feel a little bit more ashamed. This should have been their responsibility, but now they had to ask gods to wipe their butts.

“God Saitum, please restore Egypt to its glory!”

One of the young men immediately knelt down and spoke. Most of them saw that the possibility of Egypt regaining its glory was very low, but they also wanted to do something for this country before joining the Guardians to protect the ancient civilization of this land. , but now a god has come, even if it is just a small god in one place, even if this god has only been born for a thousand years.

That is a god, and he should have power beyond human beings.

The team leader raised his hand and directly interrupted what others wanted to say. Although he also wanted to restore Egypt to the glorious country it once was, he must keep in mind that they should not use this matter to judge morality. Kidnapping gods.

If the gods want to revitalize Egypt, that’s their love. If they choose to sit back and watch, that’s their duty. That’s all.

“Have you not noticed that even the people in the temple have found it increasingly difficult to get responses from the gods over the years? We, the gods, have already decided to let go of the era to humans. The next step is the era of humans. We, the gods, I will no longer interfere with humanity.”

Seeing the slightly excited, but also somewhat painful expressions in the eyes of these guardians, Saitum understood that these guardians were happy that the years to come belonged to humans, but at the same time, they had long since They saw that Egypt’s decline was not something they could easily reverse.

At least in this era, Egypt is very likely to decline or even die.

No one will feel comfortable after seeing that his country may be destroyed, unless that person has a blood feud with his country.

“I have buried the mummies sent to Rome. There is no need to move forward. Return to Egypt to rescue more mummies and relics stolen by tomb robbers.”

After saying that, the bird-like mask once again appeared on Saitum’s face, and the power of the moon god once again protected him. Finally, in the moonlight and dark night, Saitum’s aura gradually disappeared, and even His own figure also blended into the surrounding shadows and disappeared without a trace.

Now he has one more thing to do. He already knows who is behind the plan to send the mummy out of Egypt. Of course he has to give him a warning and at the same time declare his sin. What will happen to him after he knows that he dies? , then death will also become a punishment. The remaining years are not pleasure for the mastermind behind the scenes, but the slow suffering and torture in his heart.

Ptolemy Twelve did not know that the mummy he was going to give as a gift had been cut off by his dear daughter. Even the jewelry he was going to give to the thieves had been silently regarded as a gift by his daughter. A gift to a Roman general.

In Cleopatra’s view, after all, they were all pharaohs of Egypt, and the gifts they sent out would not appear shabby, and were enough for a Roman general.

Now Ptolemy Twelve is lying on his golden bed, dreaming sweet dreams. He dreamed that he had ascended the throne again. He dreamed that everyone bowed to him. He dreamed that everyone presented treasures to him. With delicious food, he dreamed that even if the dynasty fell, he would live a comfortable life in that paradise where his soul would always be peaceful.

What does life and death in Egypt have to do with him?

“Okay, okay!! Keep playing music and keep dancing!!”

Looking at the graceful figures of these beauties in front of him, Ptolemy Twelve wished that he could be ten years younger, so that he could have a romantic relationship with these beauties! In fact, the Pharaoh fled to Rome with his little daughter, so why didn’t he want to marry his daughter as his wife?

It’s a pity that what he didn’t expect was that his two daughters did not kill his original queen after taking the position of my pharaoh, so this worry did not have enough reason to marry the new queen.

When this dream was about to reach its peak, the entire dream space fell downwards.

Chapter 444: Trial in a Dream

Continuously falling, the gorgeous palace is already out of sight.

The sudden change made Pharaoh widen his eyes, as if all the beauty was already untouchable glass fragments. Their beauty was so brilliant, but so easily broken.

All the beautiful things around are disappearing quickly, whether it is the dancing beauties or the gorgeous palace, everything is shattered into fragments in the process of falling, and everything is gradually burning into pieces in the process of fragmentation. Ashes, the feeling of weightlessness made Ptolemy Twelve howl in panic unconsciously.

Then the body hit the ground heavily. It was obviously in a dream, but the feeling of weightlessness and the pain reflected by the falling body were so real. At this moment, there was a feeling that my own body had already The feeling of being thrown to pieces.

He seemed to feel that his limbs had detached from his body, his head rolled a few times on the ground, blood spread outward on the ground, and it felt uncomfortable as his body became colder little by little.

call!

He straightened his body suddenly and then sat up. He looked at his arms again. It was very good. They were still intact on his body. His own body was smashed to pieces. It was just an illusion.

It’s just an illusion, is it that real? It seems that this feeling cannot be described as a dream.

The surrounding environment has also been completely changed. It is like a palace. Surrounding this palace are statues of gods one after another. They are the 50 gods who judge souls, as well as Anubis, Osiris and other gods from the underworld. God, this is a replica of the Hall of Judgment. The only difference is that there is no scale of judgment and the goddess in the lake.

After the pharaoh dies and goes to the underworld, he will definitely see this extremely familiar scene. At that time, this dream will inevitably reappear in his heart. The judgment issued this morning will definitely make this pharaoh extremely sad at that time. Be happy.

I hope that the Pharaoh will have a smile on his face at that time. When he waits for his soul to be shattered, his expression will surely please the gods. Such a stupid Pharaoh is not often seen. Doesn’t this guy think he is My ancestors are Greeks. After death, they will go to the underworld in Greece, right?

The pharaoh got up, and golden gravel began to float in front of his eyes. Then the shadow of a young man appeared in front of him. His pale golden eyes stared at the pharaoh in front of him, “Ma’at, please Lend me your power.”

Ma’at is a goddess whose head is adorned with an ostrich feather, which is her symbol.

In ancient Egyptian mythology, she was the daughter of the sun god Ra and the wife of Thoth, the god of wisdom. , Ma’at is the embodiment of truth, justice and fairness in ancient Egypt, and the embodiment of the cause of all harmony in the universe. Belief in her is the core of the ancient Egyptians’ religious concepts, and is also a high-level summary of the ancient Egyptians’ understanding of nature and society.

It covers the fields of cosmic order, social relations, social morality, personal cultivation and other fields, and has connotations such as “order”, “harmony”, “justice”, “justice”, “truth” and so on.

The belief in Ma’at is also related to everyone’s eternal life. In ancient Egypt, the dead also had a name “the voice of Ma’at”. If he followed Ma’at in the world of mortals, his life would be continued in the next life. In other words, Ma’at is the criterion for determining whether the deceased can obtain eternal life.

This is why the Judgment Hall has the scales and feathers of the Judgment Goddess.

Therefore, in order to obtain the afterlife, people must do good deeds and accumulate virtue in this life and restrain themselves according to the moral standards of this world. As long as they do this, no matter whether they are rich or poor, high or low, they will have the opportunity to obtain an eternal afterlife.

Soon, a solemn and gentle mask with ostrich feathers on the head covered his face. With the power of this goddess, Setum can now judge the pharaoh’s soul in advance. .
