Hetep smiled slightly, but such a smile was full of meaning in Tuvia's eyes, "Princess Tuvia will meet her master one day, but not now."
Hearing his words, Tuvia seemed to understand.
But she knew Hotep's character, a typical stubborn old man, and it seemed impossible for her to ask anything.
Tuvia looked around and found that the place where they were staying was still on the beach near the Sphinx.
"Where's es?"
This seems to be what Tuvia is most concerned about right now. What happened here after she fainted?
Anubis sat next to Tuvia and gently helped her up.
"es fought with me and Hotep, and he was seriously injured and escaped."
Anubis briefly told her the process, and Tuvia finally looked at Hotep with gratitude.
"Although I don't know who the "master" you are talking about is, I am still very grateful to him."
If Hotep hadn't appeared this time, Anubis would have been trapped in the fog, and she would have died this time.
Hotep smiled and did not continue the topic, "You guys rest here for a while, I will go to pick up some dry firewood nearby to add fuel to the fire."
"What are you thinking about?"
After Hotep left, Anubis held Tuvia in his arms and sat on the beach. The weather dropped sharply at night, but luckily they were both prepared.
Anubis took a black cloak and wrapped Tuvia tightly.
Tuvia didn't seem to care too much about the ambiguous posture between her and Anubis at this time. She kept looking at the stars in the sky.
Thinking back on what happened during the day, she always felt that Hetep's appearance was too coincidental. Who was the master he mentioned?
Looking at the silent woman in his arms, Anubis brushed away a strand of hair from her forehead. This subtle movement shocked the meditating woman.
"Thank you for saving me again." Tuvia raised her eyes and looked at Anubis with an extremely sincere smile.
This time she said thank you to this man sincerely. Although they had been in different positions and full of contradictions. But here, Tuvia had to admit that Anubis was the best to cooperate with her.
partner.
Sometimes Tuvia feels that they seem to have a telepathic ability to communicate with each other.
Seeing Tuvia's extremely serious expression of thanks, Anubis showed his usual evil smile, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and his eyebrows slightly raised. This expression seemed to have been diluted a lot through the mask.
But Tuvia could imagine what kind of effect his actions would have when paired with that extremely handsome face.
Anubis rarely smiles, and even if he smiles on weekdays, he is mostly sneering. However, when he faces Tuvia, he seems to smile more and more, and sometimes he even feels that he has a bad taste.
The naughty feeling.
Very cute, although this metaphor is a bit far-fetched when compared to a cold and cruel man. But Tuvia had to admit that such a man is indeed very charming.
"Since you owe me a favor, then repay it with your body as soon as possible."
Anubis blew hot air next to Tuvia's ear teasingly. The cold air around them made both of their bodies very cold. With his teasing, the hot air sprayed out was in perfect contrast to the surrounding air.
Tuvia felt a sudden heat at the base of her ears, and her body trembled unconsciously. She tried hard to break away from Anubis' arms.
Because this man is really hateful.
Anubis smiled evilly, hugged her tighter, and with a wave of his hand, he pulled the black cloak he was wearing to the front, wrapping the two of them tightly.
"You have no strength to resist me now, woman." He kissed Tuvia on the cheek and hugged her tighter proudly.
Feeling the broad chest of the man behind her, Tuvia felt extremely relieved.
A picture suddenly appeared in his mind, of her, him and their children. They lived happily together.
After such a scene appeared, Tuvia was shocked.
Did she fall in love with Anubis unknowingly? Why else would she have such a fantasy?
"Woman, don't keep silent all the time. Shouldn't you tell me what you gained today?"
Anubis lowered his head and questioned the woman in his arms. Tuvia, who was deep in thought, suddenly woke up.
She quickly put the thought in her mind away. Anubis reminded her that the most important thing now was to open the underground passage and find the things left by her father.
"I discovered something strange on the walls of the Temple of Amun!"
"Oh? Tell me!"
"There is a brick there that seems to be empty and I suspect there is something hidden inside."
Tuvia expressed her thoughts.
"It's already late today. Let's go there and take a look tomorrow morning."
While the two were talking, Hetep came over with a bundle of firewood in his hand. He added the collected firewood to the fire, and the flames gradually grew stronger. The surrounding temperature also became a lot warmer.
"Hotep, you came all the way to find me, didn't you just come to save me?" Tuvia said half-jokingly.
Although he is an old man, with his weird temperament, there seems to be no need for her to have any elder distinction with him.
Hotep sat on the other side of the fire. He raised his head and looked at Anubis and Tuvia with a smile. He seemed very happy that they were hugging each other.
"I'm here to give you something. Maybe you will be happy after seeing it." After saying that, he took out a small rectangular wooden box from his arms. After opening it, Tuvia and Anubis stared at it closely.
the things inside.
It’s a parchment scroll!!
"What is this?" Tuvia took it curiously.
Hotep did not explain, "Open it and take a look."
After Tuvia opened it according to his wishes, it turned out to be a hand-drawn map. She took a cursory glance and found that the drawings on it did not depict all the terrain of Egypt.
Instead, it extends outwards with Thebes as the center. The map is very detailed. Tuvia believes that it is absolutely impossible to be made by locals.
And this map was sent by Hotep...
She raised the map in her hand and looked at Hetep opposite, "Is this what your master asked you to give to me?"
"Yes."
"This is strange. He and I are not related, so why does he help me again and again?"
Hotep glanced at Anubis next to him, and then turned to Tuvia, "Listen to what you said, you must understand the pattern on it."
Tuvia unfolded the map in her hand and nodded. Yes, she understood it, and it was the same as she expected. In addition to the straight line formed by the rising in the east and setting in the west revealed by the statue of Amon, there was indeed another
