Chapter 554 72 Temple of Anubis
Loki stepped on the broken body of the Styx priest and pulled out the blood axe embedded in the gap of the bones. Read М
The reason why he left the Hashma Gang was because he overheard the conversation between Concubine Xue and the legal teacher on the beam.
"The Styx priest you will meet will carry a short axe."
"Her name is Sophie Starrag."
It was not surprising to Loki that his eldest daughter Sophie would become a Styx priest.
Sophie's life can be said to have started in hell. He was abducted from his family by the Illuminati believer Old Walder when he was young, with the purpose of erasing his consciousness and making her into a "soul box" without a soul, dedicated to "Lord Mutu of the Earthsea", one of the 12 masters of the Illuminati
By accident, Sophie and Old Walder fell into Loki's hands at the same time. After entering the Leviathan's bowels to obtain the imperial seal and the Horus mask, these two heirlooms were activated at the same time.
The female pharaoh Nefertiti began to live in Sophie's body, teaching her the various magical powers of the temple priests.
Loki could feel that his strange amnesia must be related to his eldest daughter. Now that he had found clues about his eldest daughter, he had to find out.
After leaving the Hashma Gang, he headed in the direction of the Temple of Anubis in the center of the oasis.
There were no stars or moons in the night sky, and no lights were on in the city. In the darkness, Loki was still accustomed to using the remaining power of the "Scarlet Apostle" in his body.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt the hot spiritual energy fluctuations like the midnight sun coming from the head of the Hades Osiris above the temple.
He jumped to the top of the temple in three steps, but what he saw was a Styx priest holding his breath and casting spells.
In the distance, the inn where the Hashma Gang was located was set on fire, becoming the only fire in this tomb-like city.
Loki did not hesitate. He immediately pulled out his axe and split the Styx priest in front of him in half from head to toe.
After the spiritual energy scattered in the air disappeared, his huge statue jumped down and stood in front of the dark temple gate.
As expected, the gate of the Temple of Anubis was tightly closed, but this could not stop Loki holding the blood axe.
He neatly opened a gap in the cast iron gate and flashed in.
The inner hall was brightly lit, forming two completely different worlds from the dark city outside.
What came into view was a flat marble passage, dozens of meters long.
On both sides of the road stood silently each of the pharaohs who had ruled this desert.
The one closest to the door was graceful. The goose yellow marble carving technique was extremely exquisite, carving out a woman wearing golden threads and sitting on the throne.
There are too many records about her in later generations. This is the last Egyptian empress, Cleopatra VII, known as the "Nile Flower Snake".
The construction technology of ancient Egypt far surpassed any civilization of the same period. Even in the 21st century, scholars of ancient civilizations are still arguing about the ancient question of "how the pyramids were built".
Quite a number of scholars even believe that this was built with concrete in the early 18th century in order to promote the tourism industry, and then disguised as an ancient relic by aging.
Although this statement sounds full of conspiracy theories, there are also many supporters.
Entering the hall at this time, Loki finally felt how powerful the wisdom of his predecessors was. The construction technology of the ancient Egyptians was far more than just a few pyramids or obelisks. The fusion with foreign gods in ancient times allowed these ancient rulers to obtain technology that mortals could not imagine.
For example, this temple.
On the peaks outside the basin, the scale of the temple is only a few thousand square meters.
After entering it, it was found that it was like crossing a portal.
Inside the temple, it was actually a world of its own.
On both sides of the marble passage, the sculptures of the pharaohs were not rigidly upright, and each pharaoh's own statues would show their own characteristics.
The statue of Cleopatra VII is half-leaning on a luxurious recliner, with her breasts half exposed and her eyes seductive.
Her next statue, the Roman governor "Ptolemy I" who successfully established the "Ptolemaic Dynasty", is an image of a warrior holding a scimitar and roaring.
In front of each pharaoh is a huge brazier. In the brazier is burning exquisite charcoal carved into the shape of beasts.
Since occupying Shilin County, Loki has completely escaped poverty. He knows that these exquisite "beast charcoals" are all hand-carved by the top craftsmen of the Byzantine Empire. Among the countries in the Western Continent, only the wealthy kings and dukes have the financial resources to enjoy this kind of charcoal.
There are hundreds of statues of pharaohs in the whole hall.
Such a large amount of charcoal is definitely not something that dozens of horse caravans and merchants can complete with camel caravans!
Considering that the temple is a world of its own after entering the gate, I am afraid that the free people rulers in the Black Desert are not as obscure as the rumors from the outside world. They may even have portals built by the outer gods, so that they can be directly transported to large cities in the western continent if they need anything, and buy the goods they need at any time.
The so-called caravan is just an excuse to deceive people.
In the Middle Ages, ordinary people had no television, no radio, and no newspapers.
The information that mortals can receive in a day is extremely limited, and they can only understand the outside world through hearsay.
The rulers can do everything they can to play with the fools under their command.
In Scandinavia, the O'Sullivan family cooperated with the Illuminati to make rotten potions using the blood of rotten monsters, and trained a large number of God's Chosen for sale.
In the English Isles, Wessex relied on its geographical advantages to ruthlessly exploit all the people of the other six countries, and then transferred the conflict to France on the other side.
In the center of the Black Desert, the rulers of the Mbia Oasis could easily allow free people to connect with the Mediterranean civilization through the portal.
But they concealed the information and continued to falsify the fact that they lived in a corner of the world.
From what I can imagine, the Byzantine scholars must have known what would greet them after entering the temple lobby.
(Then the question is, where are the French assassins and Byzantine scholars now?)
There was no sound in the empty temple, and the weak light emitted by the burning animal carbon could not support him to see too far. He walked slowly to the center of the temple, closed his eyes and released his spiritual consciousness.
Then he jumped up and rushed towards the deep darkness above his head.
