In the Egyptian palace, the king sat on his throne and drank tea.
After hearing Lao Bai say that he had found the golden mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, the blue and white porcelain tea cup in the king's hand unexpectedly fell from his hand at this moment, fell to the ground and shattered.
Lao Bai couldn't help but secretly sighed: Your Majesty, are you too rude? Although we completed the task a little faster, we are not so excited, right? You are a king-level NPC after all.
The king was completely unaware of his gaffe. He stood up nervously, pulled Lao Bai and said, "Where is it? Where is the mask? Give it to me quickly."
Lao Bai signaled Sophie to hand over the mask, but Sophie asked the king warily: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of a chamber of commerce called Black Guidance? They are also looking for this artifact. After we got the artifact
, and openly robbed them, which is really hateful."
The king's expression calmed down a little, and he said to Sophie: "Black Guidance Chamber of Commerce? I know their president. They want to obtain Alexandria's shares, so I also entrusted them to help me find the artifact. However,
It has been more than half a year since they accepted the commission, and there is still no news."
Sophie immediately said: "Your Majesty, now that we have found this artifact, you can no longer agree to the requirements of the Black Guidance Chamber of Commerce."
The king smiled and said: "You give me this artifact, and I will naturally fulfill my promise to Lao Bai. And if the people guided by Black can find other artifacts for me, then I will also fulfill my promise to Alexandria."
Shares. Although you have completed your tasks first, but one thing is the same, their tasks are still their tasks. I am the king of a country after all, and I cannot participate in the grievances between you, nor can I be involved because of you.
I owe you the Black Guidance Chamber of Commerce."
System NPCs have their own judgments on things, especially the king level, which is less susceptible to the influence of players. Sophie also knows that it is impossible for NPCs to attack the black guide. However, she has confirmed from the king's words that Lao Bai and
Black Guide are two completely different tasks. Now that I have completed the task for Lao Bai, Black Guide will have to find another task item.
Thinking about the importance the Black Guide attached to this mask, and then thinking about how this mask was assigned a task by someone else, Sophie thought it was really interesting. She hurriedly handed the mask to the king with both hands.
The king solemnly took the mask, and then ordered the servant: "Invite the Imam."
Who is the Imam? Lao Bai was very curious. He had been hanging out in the palace for a long time, but he really couldn't remember anyone named Imam.
After a while, an old man arrived with a servant on his arm. The king immediately rushed to the door to greet him and helped the old man on his behalf.
The king went to help him in person? What a great guy, what is the background of this old guy? Lao Bai didn't think too much, and immediately ran over with the king and picked up the old man's other arm.
The king helped the old man sit on his throne, but he himself stood aside. The old man was not polite and sat down on the king's throne.
Seeing that the old man was doing it steadily, the king pointed at Lao Bai and Sophie and said, "Imam, they have found a magic weapon. Please take a look."
The king said as he handed the mask to the old man.
The old man stroked the mask for a long time, and then sighed in a hoarse and old voice: "It is indeed an artifact. I didn't expect that artifacts really exist in this world!"
What does it mean that an artifact really exists? If it doesn't exist, why don't you ask me to find something wrong? Lao Bai really wants to complain about this NPC.
The old man turned his head and said to everyone: "Do you know what a divine weapon is?"
Lao Bai thought for a while and said: "Aren't artifacts just legendary items made by gods in ancient times, possessing mysterious power?"
The old man nodded and said: "Yes, in ancient Egyptian legends, there was a Nine Pillar God here. The eternal flame on the Alexandria Lighthouse was transformed by the power of the Sun God, who is said to be one of the Nine Pillar Gods, and this
The mask possesses the divine power of Geb, another nine-pillar god. Later, the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun believed that he was a descendant of Geb and put on this golden mask, hoping to gain divine power from it, but unexpectedly he failed.
As for Death, he was only 19 years old when he died. This mask was also considered unknown, so it was buried with him."
Sophie was very curious and asked: "Is this the curse of the Pharaoh?"
The old man shook his head and said: "No, the curse existed long before Pharaoh Tutankhamun put on this mask. Geb was worried that others would gain his divine power, so he put a curse on the mask and it had nothing to do with the Pharaoh."
At this time, the king asked: "Imam, doesn't the Quran say that there is only one God? So what are the ancient Egyptian gods? If the ancient Egyptian gods are not gods, then can this artifact be real?
What about the ones that are called artifacts?”
The old man gently stroked the golden mask and said: "I believe there is nothing wrong in the Koran, there is only one God. But I can feel the powerful power of this mask. It can indeed be called a divine tool. As you said, ancient times
If there were gods in Egypt, it would indeed contradict the scriptures. The legends of ancient Egypt are very different from the legends in our classics. The world of gods is too mysterious, and these are beyond my ability to know."
Cecilia, Sera and other girls were standing behind Lao Bai, and suddenly interrupted: "I know."
Cecilia is very intelligent and can learn many foreign languages. Serra and others are all Arabs, and Lao Bai has been working in the Arab region for so long, so Cecilia once triggered the plot of learning Arabic.
, now I can understand what the old man said.
Seeing Cecilia suddenly say this, Lao Bai was very curious. Although Cecilia was a bit naughty sometimes, she was very sensible and never interfered with Lao Bai's tasks. The occasion at this time was obviously not suitable for her.
Interrupt, Lao Bai really doesn’t know what event this triggered.
When the old man heard what Cecilia said, he also asked: "Little girl, what do you know?"
Cecilia said: "There are legends about God from all over the world. The Bible, the Koran, the Buddhist scriptures, the ancient Persian scriptures, the Vedas, the Book of Mountains and Seas... all have records in them, but they are all different. But they are all different.
there is only one truth."
The old man looked at Cecilia and asked: "Little girl, can you tell me the truth?"
Cecilia shook her head and said: "I can't, because the truth is buried."
The old man laughed and asked: "What can hide the truth about God?"
Cecilia said: "It's a great flood. Classics from all over the world have recorded a great flood. The mountains trembled in the waves, the land groaned in the great changes, and everything was swallowed up by the flood. So the truth should be found in the depths of the ocean.
"
The old man's eyes suddenly shone with light, but soon dimmed again. He murmured: "Maybe there are secrets of God hidden in the depths of the ocean, but I am old and it is no longer possible to explore."
At this time, Cecilia approached Lao Bai and grabbed Lao Bai's hand. Lao Bai couldn't help but touched her head, a little confused as to why she suddenly had such a conversation with the old man.
At this time, the old man asked again: "Little girl, these are not your own thoughts, right? Who told you?"
Cecilia said: "My father said that."
The old man nodded and said, "Your father must be a great man."
Cecilia suddenly hugged Lao Bai and started crying, saying: "Cecilia's father is missing. Master, you have to help Cecilia!"
Lao Bai quickly comforted her not to cry, and suddenly understood something in his heart - Cecilia's father? In this way, what Cecilia just said seemed to be a task reminder!
The truth in the ocean, the secrets belonging to God, are these the tips for the S+ level mission given to him by Cecilia?
