Xiaya quietly watched the sandstorm, which was heading towards the Nile River.
Before that, the Nile River flooded, many crops were destroyed, rebels rebelled, and wars broke out. This sandstorm undoubtedly made things worse.
"come in."
Xia Ya said without looking back.
It seems to be said to those people lying in the sand below.
Galante got up from the ground first and shook off the sand covering his body. Due to the fate Char gave him, his condition was not bad.
However, the remaining colleagues were not doing well. Some of them coughed violently and spit out a lot of sand, and some had a lot of sand in their eyes and ears.
He looked around and said, "Count the number of people!"
Simon came back to his senses, blinked his uncomfortable eyes, turned his head and looked at the people behind him and took stock.
"There are two people missing." Simon said, "I guess they were not with us when the sandstorm just came. I guess now"
"I understand." Galante said in a low voice.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the door of the castle. He took a deep breath and walked over first. He walked up the stairs, grabbed the door handle and slowly pushed it open and walked in.
The room inside was much larger than he imagined.
But the most eye-catching thing was Alicia sitting on the sofa and reading a book quietly by the light of the fire.
She wore an elegant pure white petticoat, her hair was simply draped over her shoulders, and she had no makeup on her face. But even so, Galante felt that her body exuded a faint shimmer, like an angel who had fallen into the world. .
Garland immediately realized that she was the woman who had appeared next to Xia before, but she was wearing a veil. At that time, he just glanced at her and thought her eyes were very beautiful, but he did not dare to look more.
But I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful face under the veil.
The same was obviously true for the rest of the team who came up the stairs one after another. They were all stunned in place, not daring to move forward and feeling a little embarrassed.
Any man will have this kind of posture when he sees someone of the opposite sex that he cannot reach, feeling awkward and nervous. Some of the more introverted people will show feelings of inferiority.
Alicia obviously noticed them. She closed the book and looked at them. She seemed to have discovered something. She frowned slightly and stared at their feet.
Galante also lowered his head following her gaze. A lot of sand and gravel were shaken off their bodies, and the stairs were basically filled with yellow sand.
They were obviously a little embarrassed.
If this living room was as dirty and messy as the castle's original one, maybe it wouldn't be so embarrassing.
But the living room was spotless, but the yellow sand they brought in was extremely conspicuous. Anyone with a tutor would think this was very rude.
And in front of such a beautiful lady.
"Alicia prefers to be clean."
At this time, Xia Ya came over from one side like a savior and rescued these people from the awkward atmosphere.
Xia Ya came to the door and turned the door handle and opened it. To their surprise, there was no longer the sky full of yellow sand outside, but an elegantly decorated office with a large short-haired carpet on the floor. , and on the carpet is a simple desk.
"Come with me."
Xia Ya walked out of the door, and the others also looked at each other and walked out. The height of this office was much higher than they thought. It looked like it should be a tower.
Xia Ya walked straight over and sat on the office chair. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers before they could react.
A little goblin dressed in green appeared beside Xia Ya as if teleporting.
"What do you want, Professor?" the little elf asked.
"Help me take them to the public bathroom for a bath, prepare a change of clothes for them, and prepare some drinking water for them."
The little elf looked back at Galante and the others, then walked to the double doors on the other side and opened them with his short legs.
Behind the door was a corridor, and the space in this place seemed larger than they imagined.
"Come with me."
Galante came back to his senses and looked at Char, "Sir, we"
"Go take a bath first." Xia Ya said, "I've always been here, haven't I?"
Galante did not continue speaking, but turned his head and led the rest of the people out following the little goblin.
Just as they thought, the space in this place was terrifyingly large, and the internal structure looked a bit like a castle.
This is of course familiar to Simon, who is the Kaiser's personal guard, but compared to the German royal palace, this castle is much larger. There are many complex corridors and stairs, and some stairs even change. Like a maze.
If it weren't for the little goblin leading them, they would definitely get lost here.
They had already tasted the feeling of being lost. Although this castle was better than the desert environment, the insecurity of being in a strange place still made them subconsciously get closer to the goblin.
Not all parts of the castle have open corridors, at least the path they took to the public bathhouse did not, it was closed. All paths were illuminated by some constant light torches, just like the dark castles in many European medieval stories. very similar.
But it’s not that Europeans don’t like sunlight, it’s that the building materials and structure of the castle are not suitable for opening particularly large windows.
Therefore, if the normal building structure is followed, the large balcony in Xia Ya's office cannot exist.
Of course, as an elven architect, it is naturally very simple to solve this problem, but some places also retain the darkness of the castle, which is a kind of retro feature.
Galante couldn't help but asked the little goblin, "Sir, how much do you know about the gentleman just now?"
The little goblin stopped for a moment and looked up and down at Galante and the others. He recognized these people almost at a glance as No-Majs without any magic power.
"Didn't the professor tell you?"
"No," Galante said. "I don't know anything about it."
Simon and others also put out their ears, hoping to learn some information about the mysterious man and this place from the little goblin.
But this little goblin is obviously different from the other naughty goblins. He wants to be relatively stable. He shook his head and said.
“What I can tell you is that the professor owns this place.
The rest, if the professor wants to tell you, he will tell you naturally. "
The school has long established a rule that the magical world cannot be exposed to No-Majs, so for him, if he can't say more to No-Majs, then he won't say more.
This obviously made Galante feel a little uncomfortable. He looked helplessly at the people behind him, but he also knew that if the other person did not want to answer, it would be annoying if he continued to ask.
Xia Ya attaches great importance to the accommodation environment of students. Although it is a public bathroom, each bathroom is a single room with partitions and has an independent changing room.
He originally wanted to have a separate bathroom space, but unfortunately it was too troublesome to build the water pipes, and the water had to be pumped to a high place. The elves were obviously unfamiliar with this, so it took time to teach them.
This will extend the completion time, so there is no need to pursue this.
But those shower technologies that were quite advanced for this era also made Galante and others feel very novel. At first, they were not used to it.
But as they became familiar with it, they fell in love with the feeling of this kind of shower. The warm hot water hit their bodies like a massage, washing away the sand and gravel on their bodies, their fatigue and discomfort.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, they were taken back to the office by the little goblin, who also prepared a large glass of water for each of them so that they could drink as much as they wanted.
Galante drank a few gulps of water, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and then felt that he was alive.
The same goes for the rest of the people he brought with him.
Charia is no longer in the office. The door to the office where they came to is open on one side, so it is obvious that Charia has returned to the courtyard.
They walked into the door, entered the courtyard through the living room, and soon saw Char lying on the rocking chair.
"Thank you for saving us," Galante said.
"I was just passing by." Xia Ya said casually, "You should be grateful to fate."
"Have you thought about it?" Xia Ya asked without looking back, "Do you want to enter that place?"
Galante was silent for a moment and said, "I have always known that there is no free lunch in this world."
Xia Ya shrugged, "I only want one thing, but I'm not sure if that thing is inside."
"What?" Galante asked curiously.
"You will know it when you find it," said Xia Ya.
Galante frowned, but then continued to ask, "Are you so powerful that you can't even go inside to find that thing?"
The rest of Galante's team obviously thought so too. It was obviously not normal for such a mysterious being to entrust them to enter.
"To be precise, that thing is not what I want." Xia Ya said.
Galante and others were stunned for a moment, but then, a man walked out of the door into the courtyard. He was the European he had seen in the tavern in Cairo.
"His name is Tony Stark." Char introduced them to them, "That thing is what he wants, and he will also enter that place with you."
Galante suddenly realized that Xia Ya obviously meant that this matter had nothing to do with him, so naturally he would not help.
"How about it?" Tony smiled, "I don't extend an olive branch to anyone easily."
Char raised his eyebrows and joked, "This is Egypt, so the word olive branch is not suitable."
Tony asked confused, "Why?"
"Do you know Osiris?" Char said.
"Pluto of Egypt?"
Char nodded and slowly said, "Osiris has a younger brother named Set, who is the god of war, desert, and storms.
He was jealous that his brother could occupy the rich Nile area, but he could only have the desert.
So He plotted to kill his brother: He secretly ordered a coffin for Osiris and held a banquet inviting his relatives and friends.
He announced that if the coffin suited anyone, he would give it to him. Several people tried it, but none of them were suitable. So Set encouraged his brother to give it a try.
As soon as Osiris lay down in the coffin, Set suddenly closed the lid of the coffin and sealed it. Seth threw the coffin into the Nile and drowned Osiris. This caused the annual flooding of the Nile.
Osiris' wife Isis found Osiris' body in the jungle, hid it in a swamp and prepared to resurrect her husband. But he was discovered by Seth who was out hunting.
Seth killed him again, cut his body into fourteen pieces, and hid it all over the continent.
Isis spent many years retrieving these fragments, but not all of them were recovered. Only 13 pieces were found, and part of the penis was eaten by fish.
So Isis placed an olive branch on Osiris and gave birth to the sky god Horus.
So, in Egypt, extending an olive branch means "
"No need to say it, I understand." Tony said with black lines on his head.
Although Xia Ya made a little joke, it was obvious that Simon and others still listened very seriously.
Egyptian mythology has disappeared for a long time, and there are only simple records in the Bible. This is the first time they have heard such detailed mythological fragments.
Tony also looked at Galante at this moment, obviously waiting for his answer.
Galante was silent for a moment, then quickly replied, "I agree."
The purpose of his coming to Egypt was to explore the mystery. How could he give up such a good opportunity to come into contact with the mystery? Anyway, he is immortal now, and he can survive no matter how dangerous it is.
Tony grinned slowly, "Then, without further ado"
