Chapter 18 Passing By
The memory world of three thousand years ago, in the center of the desert.
The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, as if it wants to drain all the vitality of this world before it stops. Looking at this sun in the sky, it is hard to imagine that it is the most powerful god in Egyptian mythology. Are all Egyptians masochists?
"Hey, hey, hey, priest Set, haven't you arrived yet? We have been walking for almost a day." Mana, who was sitting weakly on the horse, looked at the figure of a priest wearing a tall hat in front of her with a sad face. The man in front of her looked very thin, but there was a unique domineering aura in his every move, which made people feel that this person was very extraordinary.
"It's almost time... You've repeated this sentence more than ten times. You're annoying." The young priest holding the "Millennium Staff" on the other horse frowned, but still suppressed his voice and said, "Besides, you didn't have to come? I also said at the beginning that it would be better for me to do this alone, right?"
This young priest is naturally a famous detective who looks like an ancient man, but his wisdom is three thousand years beyond this era... Ahem, "High Priest", Seahorse Set (No Fog)!
In fact, if it were in the real world, Seahorse's personality would not be so impatient, but for some reason, after coming to this world of Pharaoh's memory, perhaps because he had lived a ten-year life as a complaining spirit in this era, Seahorse felt that his temper seemed to be a lot more irritable.
Although Kaiba rationally felt that this was not his character, for some reason, this somewhat irritable and sharp-tongued action mode made Kaiba feel not at all uncomfortable; even last night, Kaiba was still thinking, "If Kaiba Gosaburo had not raised Keipi and let his two brothers grow up freely, would he be like this?" This kind of question is in the sage mode...
"Really, I just want to know the progress..." As an apprentice priest, Mana pouted, and her resentful eyes seemed to be able to resist some of the power of the sun god for the person she was looking at at this time. "But, what do you mean you can not come? I came here to help the prince, right? It's easy to catch up, I haven't told my master yet..."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Hearing Mana's denial, Kaiba shrugged indifferently: "Humph, you said it so righteously, if someone knows that you eavesdropped on Pharaoh's corner one day..."
"High Priest Set!" Mana waved her hands with sweat on her forehead, "Anyway, please forget about this..."
"Humph." Kaiba sneered, but turned around and felt something was wrong, so he turned to Mana and asked: "By the way, there is another question, why can you understand what I am saying to Pharaoh?"
This is also a bit strange about Kaiba: he and some people are speaking Japanese three thousand years later, how did Mana, an ancient Egyptian three thousand years ago, understand it?
"Well, the priests of our lineage have a secret technique..." Mana seemed to remember something, and "bang" produced a "magic spell book", then looked around in it a little confusedly, and pointed to one of them as if showing off and said: "Ah, I found it! A magic that can perceive the meaning of language through the tone, volume, and emotions contained in the voice of others! That night I hid in the vase and used this magic to steal... Hehehe~"
Speaking of the latter, Mana seemed to remember that the person in front of her was the victim of her eavesdropping, so she put away the "magic spell book" a little embarrassedly, touched the back of her head and prepared to get away with it.
However, Kaiba was obviously not such a bored person. She eavesdropped, so she eavesdropped. It didn't matter. Anyway, she came out with him now, didn't she? And although it was just a glance, Kaiba still saw the general outline of the magic recorded in the "magic spell book" before: "The words of the sage can communicate everything, and the sage's gem can summon all spirits."
[It looks like a preparatory lesson for a very powerful advanced magic, which means that this should be the masterpiece of the founder of the black magic lineage. I wonder what the founder of the black magic would think if he knew that Mana used this magic to eavesdrop...] Kaiba, who had a strange style since coming to this world, thought so in his heart.
In fact, if the founder of "black magic" really knew that Mana used the advanced magic of "the sage's gem" to eavesdrop, then there would be no need to nail his coffin.
However, although the style was a bit broken, this episode really made Kaiba and Mana forget the time. Soon, at sunset, Kaiba and Mana could finally see the huge canyon.
The Valley of the Kings.
Although it is called the Valley of the Kings, there is no burial of a pharaoh here, but a place of faith - the tablets of the Egyptian gods and the tablets of the pharaohs of all generations are enshrined here.
In Egypt, the pharaoh is also a god, and has the right to enter the Valley of the Kings and enjoy the worship of the whole country - this has been the case until the father of the current pharaoh, Akkanan.
"... According to legend, the previous pharaoh Akkanan once wanted to change his beliefs, but later gave up." Haiba thought that Mana was just an emotional NPC and told her some secrets in this era, but in Egypt, Mana was shocked. "After giving up, in order to express his apology for offending other gods, the previous pharaoh should come here and leave some traces."
"But..." Mana spoke with some confusion - her common sense told her that she should shut up when faced with this kind of problem, but it could be seen from the fact that she could always call "Pharaoh" instead of "Prince" Coming out, this thick-lined girl could not restrain her curiosity and desire to die, "But, what does this have to do with what you said about the prince, Lord Seth?"
"You will know soon." Kaiba did not answer Mana's question directly, but turned to Mana and asked: "By the way, do you know there is a village near here?"
"Village?" Mana thought carefully, then nodded and said, "There should be a village near here. Lord Set, why do you want to go to the village?"
"Have a rest." Kaiba jumped off the horse, then looked at Mana and said, "If I go to see 'them' when I'm so tired, I will be laughed at..."
Although she didn't know what Set was talking about, Mana still took him to a nearby village responsibly.
Here, a day's work has just ended, and everything seems to be peaceful...
Of course, things won't be peaceful here soon - after the village chief honored "trainee priest Mana" (the president did not show up), a girl with white hair and cyan eyes quietly slipped into the village. …
