Tom exhaled deeply. The name coming out of the boy's mouth was shocking enough.
"I am Tom Yoder, and she is Hermione Granger." Tom's voice was calmer than he imagined.
"Welcome," Menis nodded to the two of them and at the same time glanced at the black cat at his feet. The black cat stretched out and turned into a naked woman. The woman's skin was a healthy wheat color.
, has a graceful figure and extremely slender limbs. The only jewelry on her body is the gold anklets on her feet.
Catwoman took catwalks and squirmed her butt, bringing two animal skin cushions to Tom and Hermione, and also brought a table over, with several small plates filled with seasonal fruits placed on it.
When she put the cushion in front of Tom, she deliberately came up to him, rubbed him very charmingly, and tried to put the two round balls on Tom. Tom raised his head high and raised his eyebrows at the roof of the palace.
He was so interested that he didn't dare to look away, for fear that he would have thoughts he shouldn't have.
Of course, when he looked up, he had already lost.
Catwoman looked very proud. After rubbing against Tom several times, she looked provocatively at Hermione, whose face was deformed with anger. She puffed up her chest and walked away in a twisting catwalk.
Menis smiled happily and said that if Tom wanted to, this Catwoman could be "lent" to Tom for two days. Tom refused without thinking: if he agreed, he wouldn't have to consider returning his
world.
"Looking at your expression, you must have heard of my name." After teasing Tom, Menis took out a fig still stained with dew from the plate in front of him, peeled off the skin and put it in
Chewing heavily in his mouth, "Tell me about what will happen in the future, traveler."
Tom was a little surprised now.
Menis was a little hesitant after getting rid of the fig. He was a little confused about what to eat next. Seeing Tom's surprised look, he was even more proud, "Yes, I know you come from the future - because you are a fish.
I brought you here." He pointed to the goldfish swimming slowly in the pool.
"Okay, tell me what's going on outside quickly!" Menis said impatiently.
But Tom didn't know where to start. There was a five-thousand-year difference in era between him and Menis! He had no clue at all.
"Are you a living person? Or a memory?" In the end, he answered the Pharaoh's question with a question.
"Don't reply to questions with questions!" Menes curled his lips, but still told Tom that he was the real Pharaoh Menes, not a remnant of memory.
"Can……"
"Been bitten to death by a hippopotamus?" Menis guessed what Tom wanted to ask, "That was a cover created by myself. I have mastered the secret of time and am immortal. The hippopotamus incident was just a way for me to retreat behind the scenes.
"
It turns out that for Menes, he has achieved "immortality" through time magic.
Menis used the Sands of Time and the Golden Fish to construct a closed loop of time. He "cut off" a day, then connected the time end to end to form a closed loop, and entered the closed loop himself. In this closed loop, he and his
The resulting city will be trapped in a non-stop cycle of one day, thus gaining eternal life in disguise.
Although he has achieved immortality, he has not given up contact with the outside world. In the closed loop of time, if Menis wants to interact with the outside world, he needs the power of the golden fish. This special fish can travel through the long river of time and communicate with the outside world.
The people are brought into the time loop of Menes and listen to his guidance.
If the time point when Menes chooses to start the infinite reincarnation is point A on the normal timeline, then Menes has constructed a line whose starting point and end point are both point A. His time never stops passing, but it always
Going around in circles with the help of the golden fish seems to be completely stagnant in the normal timeline.
Others act on the normal timeline. If they want to see Menes, they will use the golden fish. The golden fish will take them from point B in the normal timeline back to point A where Menes is.
This plan was perfect in theory, and it was executed smoothly at first. However, the frequency of envoys coming became less and less, and eventually they stopped coming at all. Menes' contact with the outside world was also cut off - the messengers of the First Dynasty
The pharaohs did not want to add another dictating person above their heads, so they consciously lowered the frequency of communication. With the fall of the first dynasty, the method of communicating with Menes was lost.
Of course, even if he gained eternal life, he still had the necessary cards. Menes, like other kings, built himself a gorgeous tomb. As the first pharaoh to unify Upper and Lower Egypt, Menes was very extravagant with one to one.
He made a one-to-one replica of the city where he lived most in his daily life, and used magic to hide the city under the real city to serve as his mausoleum. A golden fish was also symbolically left in the mausoleum. How could it be possible?
I think, in the end, the golden fish in the mausoleum became the last golden fish left in the outside world, and became the only way to enter the Menes timeline.
After listening to Perfection's explanation, Tom finally understood it all.
Now, it's his turn to tell a story.
Since he had not seen outsiders for too long, Menes was in a high mood today. He summoned his servants to remove all kinds of fruits and prepare to hold a grand banquet.
While taking away the fruits, a maid brought a small jar with a large piece of balsam burning in it - when lit, it would emit a rich aroma and drive away the mosquitoes in the hall. Soon, under the beautiful female dancer
With the dancers dancing and the music of the musicians, the banquet began. Menis provided roasted whole ox, roast duck, roast goose, roast pigeon and various fresh fish, as well as fruits and dried fruits.
During the banquet, Tom briefly talked about the changes in world history. Menis was speechless when he heard this: the dynasty he founded perished, the civilization of ancient Egypt also perished, and even the beliefs and races of the people on this land were destroyed.
Changed!
Menis could only pick up beer that was as thick as porridge and drown his sorrows with wine. Fortunately, he was only depressed for a short while, then he adjusted his mood and started chatting with Tom again.
I don’t know how long I talked, but Menis finally got tired of hearing it. He stood up and walked to Tom.
"Since you told me so many novel stories, I have to repay you well."
However, when it came to choosing a gift to give, Menes was in a dilemma. He found that Tom seemed to be lacking everything! He thought about it and finally came up with an idea.
"Traveler, I decided to help you make a time converter that can go back in time."
