[127] The meaning of the gods

Watching Tuvia remain silent without saying a word, Horus leaned leisurely on the table behind him, his evil eyes never leaving Tuvia's face.

Tuvia gave him a fierce look.

"Even if he doesn't intend to take me there, I will find a way to make him go there voluntarily."

Horus looked at her with half-smiling eyes, and then said calmly: "If you plan to rely on him, why not rely on me? Because I am more useful than him."

Tuvia raised her eyes and looked at him without speaking, as if she didn't care about what Horus said.

Horus then said, "I am a voluntary free laborer, don't you consider it?"

Tuvia was silent for a while, then she raised her face and looked at Horus coldly, "Why have you followed me so willingly for so long?"

She would never believe that Horus disguised himself as a woman and followed her because he fell in love with her at first sight.

Because the ambition in this man's eyes would never make him willing to waste time on her.

"You don't need to know. Just remember that I will never hurt you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be alive today." Horus' eyes changed.

Tuvia looked carefully, and she saw full of hatred in his eyes.

"Okay, now that we have arrived here, it seems like it would be a waste not to bring you as a useful helper." Tuvia returned to her usual calm expression, with a glimmer of light in her eyes.

Horus smiled slightly. "A sensible woman."

"But let me put the ugly words first. If you do anything wrong along the way, I will definitely kill you with my own hands." Tuvia's eyes showed a strong murderous intent.

"Killing a wounded man is easy for me."

Upon hearing Tuvia's threat, Horus did not show much emotion on his face, and seemed not to take the woman's threat to heart at all.

"You reminded me that the first time I injured my arm was to save you, but now..."

He raised his right arm and looked at Tuvia with complaining eyes, "It's because of you that I got hurt again. How are you going to compensate me?"

Tuvia got up and got out of bed. She looked at Horus with disdain, "For a man with evil intentions, this punishment is relatively light for me."

Horus smiled evilly. He raised his head and looked at Tuvia who was standing next to him. "So you are reluctant to hurt me too much."

After listening to his words, Tuvia felt a little angry. This was the first time she had encountered such a smooth-tongued man. Now Tuvia feels that her powers of observation have been reduced a lot.

Otherwise, such a sinister and elegant man would not have been left by his side for such a long time without being discovered.

"If you want to continue to be by my side, you'd better return to your original self."

Looking at the woman who was angered by him, Horus looked at it carefully with appreciative eyes. He just liked the way this woman looked angry, especially when she was angry because of him, which was even more charming!

Early morning of the second day

Tuvia and his group got up as soon as it got light and started packing their things and heading out, and Feitai also got up to help.

Horus still used the identity of Jungst in front of outsiders. Tuvia did not question his true identity because she would not believe what this man said.

After saying goodbye to Feitai and her husband, Tuvia walked towards the carriage at the door, Jungst following behind her.

"Master, get in the car."

When they arrived at the carriage, Horus supported Tuvia respectfully, and Tuvia looked sideways at him. At this time, Horus returned to the humble maid he was before.

Tuvia evoked a meaningful smile. After she knew the truth, she seemed extremely ridiculous when she saw Jungst now.

After getting on the carriage, Zaler and Nut were still sitting outside the carriage, while Horus and Tuvia sat inside.

As soon as he got into the car, Horus's expression immediately changed back to that cynical and evil expression. He stood close to Tuvia, his face brightening for a while.

He looked at Tuvia and said half-jokingly, "You seem a little reluctant to leave here?"

Hearing his words, Tuvia looked away from the car. She looked coldly at Horus beside her, staring at his body close to her with a hint of warning in her eyes.

Horus moved away knowingly, but his eyes were extremely disappointed.

"You'd better shut your mouth now."

Tuvia looked at the very shabby man next to her with a look of contempt. She would never treat him the way she treated Jungster again.

What Tuvia hates most is deception. If she hadn't seen this man as valuable, she would have thrown him in the desert and left him to fend for himself.

Horus saw Tuvia ignoring him, and he wisely closed his mouth.

………………………………

Ten days later, their group finally set foot on the territory of Adubis City, where an endless oasis was filled with lush green plants.

There are neat houses lined on both sides of the wide road. The atmosphere here is full of antiquity and mystery. It seems that compared to the cities of Memphis and Thebes, Tuvia feels here full of intimacy.

She looked at the crowd around her, and the faces of the people here were filled with joy. They were far away from war and chaos, and far away from the constraints of the royal city. The lives of the people here seemed very happy and comfortable.

Arriving at a hotel called "Kornai", the group finally stopped.

After entering the hotel, a fat man came forward to greet them warmly. "Friends from afar, do you want to rent here?"

Looking at the smiling man in front of her, Tuvia nodded lightly, "Prepare three clean houses for us."

The owner of the Kornai Hotel in front of him frowned after hearing Tuvia's words, "Friends, I'm sorry we only have two houses left here. Look..."

"Then let's find someone else." Tuvia didn't think anything of it.

Zaler looked at her with some doubts, "Isn't it just right for you and Jungst to share the same room and Nut to share the same room?"

Jungster and Tuvia were almost inseparable along the way. They both slept together. Even in the desert, they slept on the same mat. But now Tuvia suddenly changed her mind.

Jungster remained silent, but the acrimony in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

The owner of the hotel looked at how the four of them were dressed. They were all men. Why do they have to be so particular?

"This old man is right. There is a shortage of houses in this city right now. If you go out to look for other houses, you may not even have these two spare ones."

After hearing what the hotel owner said, Zahle was a little anxious. He looked at Tuvia and waited for her to make the decision.

Tuvia was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with them. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a group of people happened to walk in from outside.

There were a dozen people in the group. They looked like they were traveling on business trips. The man leading them looked like he was about forty years old.

After he walked in, he called the boss loudly, "Do you have a room?"

The hotel owner apologized and went up to greet us, "I'm sorry, there are only two rooms left here. No, these guys have already decided."

The arrival of this group of people stopped Tuvia from leaving. She stood aside and watched coldly.

The leading man was wearing a black sleeveless gown, revealing the strong muscles on his arms, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his dark skin.

His facial features were rough and his eyes were fierce and fierce, making him look very ruthless.

He turned around, and finally his eyes were fixed on Zahle's face, because Zahle was the only one in the group who looked the oldest, and the other three were all yellow-haired boys.

"You... old man, give us your house and I will give you three gold coins."

Looking at the arrogant and unreasonable man in front of him, Zahle's face turned cold, and his thin face was full of ridicule.

"Brother, one of us must come first. We got here much earlier than you did."

After hearing Zahle's unkind words, the man's face immediately darkened. "I'm giving you face in exchange for this, a ungrateful guy."

He walked up to Zahler fiercely and looked at her condescendingly. A rough man who was a head taller than him picked Zahle up.

He approached Zahler's face, his eyes full of murderous intent, "Believe it or not, I will make you disappear here immediately."

Seeing the killing intent in the eyes of the big man in front of him, Zaler smiled instead of getting angry, "That depends on whether you have the ability."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and moved quickly. The big man, who was still extremely arrogant, suddenly shook his body and let go of Zahler's hand. He looked in pain, and the veins of the right hand he had just used were now exposed.

"ah!"

He screamed in pain, and his veins burst in front of everyone, and blood flowed down his arm, like countless bloody snakes, slowly sliding down with a sense of spirituality.

The last drops fell to the ground, forming a pool of red patterns.

The other people who followed this rough man were so frightened that they froze on the spot when they saw such a strange scene, and they dared not come up to express their anger. If they had the strength in their feet at this time, they seemed to want to run away.

Seeing this, the owner of the hotel was so frightened that he took several steps back and looked at the frail old man in front of him with horrified eyes.

He has been running hotels in this area for more than 20 years and has never encountered such a weird thing.

He didn't even know how the old man took action. But the man who was a head taller than him was curling up and trembling on the ground.

Tuvia watched the situation with cold eyes. Zaler was really cruel, using such harsh methods.

It seemed that this rough man was going to bleed to death soon. He shook his head and stopped looking at the bloody scene in front of him.

Nut stood there, his expression indifferent. But his eyes were also full of surprise. He never expected that Zahler, who was inseparable from him every day, would reach out in such a strange way.

Horus stood in front of Tuvia. Their angle was a blind spot, and the others had no time to pay attention.

"Did you see that you are surrounded by masters who hide their secrets?"

Feeling the hot breath of Horus blowing on her ears, Tuvia's expression turned cold. She did not look at the man next to her that she hated and spoke coldly.

"Who in this world is simple?" When she came to this mysterious capital, everyone she met seemed to be extraordinary people in ordinary clothes.

How could she have so much time to guess, not to mention that she had already understood Zaller's skills. Even a man like Anubis, who was brave and skilled in fighting and had a profound knowledge, fell into his hands.

One can imagine his strength.
