The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

After a night of conversation, under Chen Mo's deliberate guidance, the relationship between the two parties quickly drew closer.

So when she set off in the morning, Evelyn very logically invited Chen Mo, a very knowledgeable oriental scholar in her opinion, to explore Hamna Tower with her.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Mo asked Ida Wang to prepare a lot of horses and camels. The "smart" Miss Evelyn hopes to borrow these cute animals.

Although O'Connor affirmed that he was able to find the settlement and buy the supplies and camels they needed, it was clear that Evelyn was more inclined to walk a short distance to the settlement to buy camels than directly recruit Chen Mo. Yu directly recruited Chen Mo into the group, and then borrowed their horses and camels, and this was strongly supported by Jonathan.

Although O'Connor objected to Evelyn's approach of bringing strangers into the gang at first, after seeing the camels, horses, and various firearms and tools that Chen Mo had asked Ida Wang to prepare in advance, he still wanted to go whoring for nothing. Acquiesced to Evelyn's approach.

Among the four, only the warden, who has never had a sense of presence, objected very much. Among the four, he was the only one who came here entirely for money. In his opinion, if one more person joins the group, one more person must share the money. It is a huge loss.

However, after Chen Mo expressed that he was not interested in the gold and treasures buried in Hamna Tower, but only wanted to see the culture and historical sites of ancient Egypt, he cursed and said nothing.

After dawn, a group of six rode the camels and horses prepared by Chen Morang Ada Wang, led by O'Connor, and headed towards Hamna Tower.

This is actually a very boring journey. Although the location of Hamna Tower is not far away, they are only accompanied by rolling yellow sand and the vast Gobi Desert along the way.

Although this has the desolate taste of the desert, the jingling camel bells along the way and the local folk songs sung by the warden from time to time are also very charming, but this cannot conceal the desolation and loneliness of the desert.

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the high temperature in the desert made everyone lose their interest in speaking. Even the warden, who had been singing songs with great enthusiasm because he was about to get the treasure, shut down because of thirst. On the mouth.

Although there is enough fresh water prepared, in the desert, if you drink water when you are thirsty, you will quickly run out of fresh water.

Several people have lived in Egypt for a long time, and they all have enough knowledge and experience on this point.

On the contrary, Chen Mo and Evelyn are still chatting about the topic of ancient Egyptian culture, especially Chen Mo's unique insights into ancient Egyptian funeral customs from the perspective of a necromancer, which really opened Evelyn up. vision.

"The Egyptians attach great importance to the body. In their culture, the body is the carrier of the soul. As long as the body exists, the dead can be resurrected again. This can be seen from the story of the double resurrection of Osiris in the myth. " Chen Mo and Evelyn talked about mummies, the existence of one of the most famous cultural symbols in ancient Egypt was also something Chen Mo was very curious about before he became a necromancer.

However, in this era, the research on mummies is obviously not as good as the one hundred years before Chen Mo traveled, and many viewpoints and research are still relatively backward.

Evelyn was puzzled by many things about the mummy. She asked Chen Mo, "But if that's the case, why did they take out the brain and internal organs of the corpse? Wouldn't the corpse be preserved intact? Yet?"

"This is to prevent decay. After all, the brain and internal organs contain a lot of water." Chen Mo has specifically learned about this. After becoming a necromancer, no one knows better than him about how to preserve corpses: "And in The ancient Egyptians also believed that the internal organs had a sacred meaning, in which the heart carried wisdom, and after the dead entered the underworld,

Will be put on the scales by Anubis to weigh the evil in the judgment of the underworld.

The intestines, liver, stomach, and lungs were taken out of the body and stored in containers called "burial urns", guarded by the four sons of Horus.

Because these burial urns have become more and more luxurious and complex with the changes of the times, many people who do not understand ancient Egyptian culture regard them as ordinary burial objects.

In fact, if part of the influence of myths is excluded, it is not difficult to see that the ancient Egyptians had a considerable degree of development in medicine, and even had a good understanding of the internal organs of the human body. We have reason to believe that the medical level of the ancient Egyptians was quite high. . "

"It sounds really interesting. Although I work in the Egyptian Museum, I have never seen the kind of burial urn you mentioned, Mr. Chen!" Although she claimed to be an excellent ancient Egypt scholar and worked in the museum, Eve actually Lin is just a librarian at the museum.

Regarding this, Chen Mo could only shake his head helplessly, and said with regret: "Those simple funeral urns are probably broken or abandoned in the cemetery, and only the more expensive ones will be dug out, but It was also used as other burial objects."

While Chen Mo and Evelyn were chatting, Ada Wang was asking O'Connor about their upcoming journey, "Mr. O'Connor, how long do we have to walk in the desert to reach Hamna Tower? "

The sun-exposed weather made her feel extremely difficult. After all, after becoming a vampire, the impact and damage of the sun on her was undoubtedly magnified a lot. The cloak keeps the sun out, but she can still get sunburned easily if exposed to the sun.

The journey along the way is really boring. Chen Mo can chat with Evelyn about ancient Egyptian culture to pass the time, but she has nothing to chat with other people. Although it is possible to win over O'Connor and Jonathan, but since the boss Ada Wang, who was a little wilted by the sun, saved herself a little effort by not telling her to do so.

"We have to go for another day. If we continue our journey at night, we can arrive at Hamna Tower before dawn tomorrow." O'Connor answered Ada Wang's question, and at the same time smiled mysteriously: "Trust me , if you can arrive at Hamna Tower before dawn, you will not be disappointed there."

"It sounds like there is a special scene? Is it the sunrise?" Ada Wang heard O'Connor say this, and made a guess along the way.

Hearing them talk about this topic, Chen Mo interjected: "Is it the ancient Egyptians' special use of sunlight? The ancient Egyptians' achievements in mathematics, geometry, and architecture are amazing.

I remember that the Abu Simbel Temple has a sun festival spectacle. Every year on the birthday and enthronement day of Ramses II, the sun will pass through the 60-meter-long temple corridor from the entrance of the temple, and accurately shine on Latin America. The statue of Sith II, while other statues do not enjoy the grace of the sun god.

I think what Mr. O'Connor you are talking about should be a spectacle similar to this one, right? "
