"I don't study well, so don't tease me. Could a mirage also pose a threat?" Mo Fan stared at everyone with solemn faces.
Mirage, isn't it a desert phenomenon? From a scientific point of view, it is the deviation of the field of vision caused by the refraction of light through the atmosphere with different densities. To give the simplest example, when we catch fish in clear streams, if we catch them in the normal way, we often find that our hands are deviated from the actual position of the fish we want to catch. This is because the light shines on the fish. refraction in water.
The same principle applies to mirages. Mo Fan admits that his knowledge of the magical world is not very deep, but he is at least an educated science student!
A mirage is a virtual image. Even if it does exist, it is definitely not where we see it with our eyes. So why would such a thing like a huge refraction slide have such a significant impact on this Egyptian city? Has the international community begun to launch aid orders? ?
There are many injured people in Pushini City, and mages from different camps come and go here more frequently. It looks like a war city, somewhat similar to Japan's Tokai City. The problem is, an illusory shadow caused by light What could be causing so much turmoil in Egypt’s cities? ?
"Who has time to explain it again to this guy who always leaves the team without authorization? We still have to discuss the next thing." Guan Yu said impatiently.
While Mo Fan was with Xinxia, they had already made some progress and had a clearer idea of what was going on here.
Mo Fan has heard Xinxia mention mirage before. The question is, what exactly is mirage?
"Mo Fan, do you know the relationship between the pyramid and the undead?" Jiang Yu said.
Mo Fan immediately shook his head. To be honest, he was very interested in the Egyptian Kingdom of the Undead, but he didn't know anything about it.
Jiang Yu patted his forehead, why did he wade into this muddy water? Wouldn't this mean that Mo Fan would have to start from the beginning.
"That's right, the undead in Egypt are slightly different from the undead in our ancient capital. The main difference lies in the scope of their activities. The undead in our ancient capital will haunt in the dark night, and they will gather wherever the death atmosphere is strong, while the undead in Egypt will It always surrounds the pyramid. The pyramid is the tomb of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh. The pharaoh was actually an extremely powerful slave owner in the slave era, equivalent to a lord who had the power of life and death for everyone. These pharaohs were so powerful that even death was caused by Countless people came to protect him, so they used their mausoleum pyramid as the center of the curse, so that all the creatures buried and died nearby would be reborn, and they must guard around their mausoleum pyramid forever." Jiang Yu roughly said Tell Mo Fan about its history.
Mo Fan listened very carefully, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel some contrast in his heart.
The undead in the ancient capital will transform and wake up again after death because of the lingering aura of death. This is closely related to the way King Yingzheng of Qin sought immortality. His so-called immortality meant abandoning the sun and living in darkness forever. under!
The undead in Egypt seem to originate from curse magic. Curses are also magic created by the Egyptian pharaohs. They derived the undead system through the curse system, which perfectly coincides with the immortality spell of Qin King Ying Zheng.
A slap in the face can't make a difference. I think the undead system will be officially included in the orthodox magic system. It is precisely because ancient China and ancient Egypt, two countries with splendid ancient civilizations, worked together to create undead magic. Otherwise, the undead system will probably be included. Included in the ranks of forbidden arts.
"In other words, the undead in Egypt can only move within the territory of the pyramid? Then this is actually quite good. As long as the city is built in non-pyramid territory, it is basically the same as the undead in Egypt!" Mo Fan said.
"Yes, Egypt has always done this. Especially in modern times, all cities have moved out of the pyramid territory. Normally, the residents of Egypt would not be harassed by the undead. However, there are many ancient families and Old hunters would break into the pyramid territory from time to time to search for the treasures left by the pharaohs. Everyone has always believed that there are mountains of treasures in the pyramid, and if one or two can be taken out, they must be priceless. After all, the ancient pharaohs created the curse system and The undead system... they must have treasures containing huge energy." Jiang Yu's eyes flashed, and it was obvious that he also wanted to obtain those things from there.
"Then what does this have to do with mirages?" Mo Fan returned to the topic.
"The pyramid is a city-state for the dead, and the city is the habitat of the living. As long as it is not deliberately interfered with, it will not cause any harm. However, it is impossible for nature to make the pyramids and cities calm forever. A mirage will not make the original place in a certain place peaceful. Do things from one place appear in another?" Jiang Yu said.
While saying these words, Jiang Yu specially led Mo Fan to the heights of Nancheng Mountain.
Nancheng Mountain has a tall watchtower behind the white tent venue. Jiang Yu led Mo Fan to the watchtower.
"You can go up and look to the north and you will know." Jiang Yu pointed at the top of the observation tower and said.
Mo Fan was hesitant and turned into an invisible shadow bird, quickly reaching the top of the observation tower against the outer wall of the observation tower.
Are you kidding? You are all a mage. When you encounter a tower, do you still have to climb up the stairs one by one?
After reaching the watchtower, an Egyptian guard who was guarding the top saw Mo Fan appearing strangely from the darkness and couldn't help but be stunned.
Mo Fan explained his identity and looked in the direction Jiang Yu said.
This is the area with the broadest view of Pushini City. Looking towards the loess land on the outskirts of the city, on the undulating hills, Mo Fan suddenly found a golden building shining with a unique light in the sun. over there!
The scorching sun was shining brightly, and it felt warm and comfortable when it fell on the city. But I don't know why the sunshine revealed a strange and cold feeling after entering the pyramid territory, as if the sunshine had also changed because of the existence of the pyramid. Color, miserable white, demonic purple!
"No... isn't it said that the nearest pyramid from here is two hundred kilometers away? Doesn't this distance mean to you two hundred kilometers?" Mo Fan looked at the pyramid with a strange aura in a daze. My heart was in turmoil.
The pyramid is very majestic. Although it is just a solitary stone building with tapered steps about fifty meters high, it gives people a sense of oppression of an ancient city-state that can accommodate thousands of troops. On the contrary, this Pushini city Seems a bit small and vulnerable!
Gold is supposed to be a holy, noble, and solemn color, but in Mo Fan's eyes, this pyramid is full of terrifying evil nature. What exactly is scary and weird is completely impossible to say...
The guard did not answer Mo Fan's boring question, but just drove Mo Fan down.
Mo Fan jumped down from the observation tower and landed in front of Jiang Yu. The evil pyramid still stood in his mind.
"You see, that's a mirage!" Jiang Yu said.
"But the problem is just an illusion!" Mo Fan said.
"The undead don't think so."
"..."
Mo Fan didn't know what to say for a while.
In other words, the most fundamental reason that led to the war between the undead in the pyramids and the human cities was that the group of Egyptian undead were too stupid to distinguish reality from virtual images!
When he thought that such a cruel and bloody war broke out because of this, Mo Fan couldn't help but think of a wise saying: It's terrible to be uneducated.
As long as the Egyptian undead have some brains, they would not regard the pyramid reflected in the mirage as their city-state!
"Generally, a hundred kilometers around the pyramid belongs to the territory of the undead, which means that in the eyes of the undead, we humans have violated their territory. The most intolerable thing is that we actually built a city on their territory. , They will not give up until they destroy this city and kill all the humans!" Jiang Yu said to Mo Fan.
The world is so big that it is full of wonders, but as Jiang Yu said before, it is impossible for God to allow a group of dead people and a group of living people to coexist peacefully in the same country. The phenomenon of mirage is the trigger of everything. The dead are angry. , this group of unscrupulous humans broke into their territory, and the living people were even more angry, because such dead people dared to cause trouble in their city!
"Once a mirage appears, it basically means the outbreak of a war between the living and the dead, and the mirage usually appears for a long time. It's okay if only one pyramid is refracted nearby. If mirages appear on several pyramids, and they are comparing If it is close to a place, that city will disappear from the earth in just a few days. In such a long history, there are many cities in Egypt that have disappeared due to mirages. In addition, it also depends on what kind of pyramid it is. Ordinary pyramids, generally The army will suppress it, and with the help from the international community, it will probably be able to calm down, but if it's that kind of big pyramid... it's equivalent to a big tribe, that would be scary!" Jiang Yu said.
"Are the pyramids also divided into levels?" Mo Fan asked.
"Of course, there are about 93 pyramids in Egypt, varying in size. The largest pyramid is the Pyramid of Khufu." Jiang Yu said.
"So is it possible for a mirage to occur at the Pyramid of Khufu?" Mo Fan said casually.
"Asshole, what are you talking about!!" At this moment, the previous tower guard yelled angrily.
It turned out that the tower guard had changed his guard and happened to come down from the top. But when he heard what Mo Fan said, his whole body went crazy!
Mo Fan was also puzzled. In order to practice International Language well, everyone sometimes communicated in International Language in the team, but this also caused a lot of trouble.
"Mo Fan, please don't say such nonsense. It's taboo in the local area." Jiang Yu lowered his voice and continued next to Mo Fan, "If a mirage appears in the Pyramid of Khufu, half of Egypt may fall. This will No joke!"
