Chapter 139 The Cat's Repayment, The Pharaoh's Inheritance
The House of the Dead.
Jolina also saw the Pharaoh, the scribe Ani, and the minor gods in the shrine.
Unlike Lin Xiao, when she passed the shrine, she showed the 'obsidian' dropped by the black-helmed scarab and passed the first level calmly.
This piece of 'obsidian' was given to her by Lin Xiao.
Arrive in front of the huge golden scales and face the black jackal head of Anubis.
The girl grasped the rough edges of the obsidian, and the red boy reflected the tragic scene of the Pharaoh being swallowed by the monster 'Amit', and frowned slightly.
As for the Sharo myth, she knew more than Lin Xiao.
The source of this game plot about "Ani the Scribe" is the famous papyrus scroll of ancient Shahro, "The Book of the Dead".
"The Book of the Dead" records in detail the whole process of 'Ani the Scribe' from accepting the jury, meeting Anubis, and arriving at the 'Reed Field' in the Paradise of Sharo.
Because the Sharo people attach great importance to death and rituals.
Therefore, Jolina guessed that the key to passing the level lies in 'heart weighing', and the heart must not be heavier than the feathers.
Otherwise, you can only fight against the monster ‘Amit’ and cannot get higher rewards.
But.
Jolina looked down and saw the mission item "Heart of the Dead" in her hand.
On the card surface is a golden heart made up of half of its own source power.
How can one lighten the weight of the heart...or lighten the guilt?
Speaking of crime, killing should be one of the most serious crimes, right?
Suddenly, a bold idea came to Jolina's mind.
Perhaps, the way to perfectly clear "Pyramid of the Moon" is not to kill monsters.
Instead, from entering the dungeon to entering the Hall of the Dead, zero kills were achieved throughout the process!
Passing the level with ‘zero kills’ seems ridiculous.
In fact, in many classic games, there are bosses who have completed "passing the level with zero kills".
Although I already have the idea of "perfectly clearing the level", I am afraid that I will not be able to obtain the legendary card this time, and it will also fall into the mouth of the monster "Amit".
Jolina sighed softly.
Because from entering the dungeon to now, I have killed many monsters.
Although the number is less than half of Lin Xiao's, it may be difficult to pass the Jackal God's ritual...
Similar to the plot encountered by Lin Xiao, ‘Scribe Ani’ passed the ceremony and walked into the door blooming with beautiful white light.
Anubis, who was selfless and would not spare Pharaoh's favor, stared at Jolina coldly.
"Your trial is about to begin."
The oppressive aura of death enveloped Jolina. Although Anubis was impartial and selfless, he still had the authority of the 'God of Death' and could easily take away human lives.
Jolina, the red child, looked coldly and glanced sideways at the crocodile 'Amit' who was eyeing him in the hellfire, and quietly prepared to draw his sword for a duel.
She stretched out her right palm, held the golden heart in her palm, squatted down while keeping her guard up, and placed her heart on a section of the golden scale.
The Jackal God's indifferent eyes had a hint of brightness.
Such pure golden fire...
For humans, her character is considered firm.
But.
The Jackal God knelt on one knee, adjusted the weights, and his eyes became cold.
If she fails to pass the trial, then her crimes must still be accounted for!
At both ends of the scale, a golden heart and a feather swayed up and down.
Jolina moved slowly, leaned towards the brazier, and glanced at the dormant crocodile monster in the brazier. The red boy was sharp.
Due to Anubis' impartiality, she will never be disturbed by the outside world when adjusting the weights.
So, now is my best chance to take action!
I only have half of my original strength. If I want to get through this level, I have to take the lead in making a sneak attack while 'Amit' is not paying attention!
Although Qiao Linna's "crimes" were much less than Lin Xiao's, she still couldn't pass the test.
The Jackal God narrowed his eyes and saw one end of his heart slowly falling.
Just wait for the balance to fall completely, and the verdict on Jolina's guilt will be a foregone conclusion!
Time passes by a millimeter, and the scales fall by a millimeter.
The Jackal God's eyes became colder and colder.
Jolina quickly slashed a round of sword light at the crocodile monster!
Zheng!
Unprepared for a sudden sneak attack, the crocodile monster let out a scream, suddenly woke up, and bared its teeth fiercely at Jolina.
However, the crocodile monster has not yet received permission from the Jackal God and cannot attack at will!
One end of the scale was just a little short of falling completely.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The black cat, whose fur matched the night, jumped lightly and grabbed the feather at the other end of the scale.
Affected by the weights, the chain made a clicking sound, and the heart that had fallen rose again, hanging high above the horizontal line!
The Jackal God raised her head in shock, not understanding why her colleagues wanted to help a mere human!
Qiao Linna was surprised and looked up.
I saw a black cat squatting on the top of the stone pillar, holding a feather in its mouth, wearing emerald and gold jewelry. Its beautiful green eyes glanced at Jolina, and then looked at the Jackal God.
"Buster!" Anubis said in a deep voice, "Why did you interfere with the ceremony!"
The black cat put its feathers on the back of its paws, spoke a sweet and mature female voice, and said calmly:
"She has the "smell" of a cat. Humans who treat cats well, Buster, will also treat her well."
Anubis fell silent.
Buster is the goddess of cats, and her character is as unpredictable as a cat's. She is the patron saint of all cats in the world.
She said that this human girl has the "smell" of a cat, which means that the girl had a lot of kindness to the cat, so Buster was willing to help her.
It is simply ridiculous for humans to interfere with the important ritual of 'heart weighing' just because they are benevolent to cats.
But this is Buster's way of doing things, and this is why she is widely believed by humans!
The smell of a cat? Jolina lowered her head from side to side and raised her arms, her expression a little complicated.
How could it be...it obviously has no taste!
"Roar!!" The crocodile monster 'Amit' yelled aggrievedly, interrupting the communication between the two gods.
Can I still eat that heart?
I haven't settled the score with her yet about her sneak attack on me!
The Jackal God shook his head.
Being able to get Buster's approval is enough to offset this human being's crimes.
After all, her crime was relatively minor, unlike the human next door who had the power of original sin...
People with the power of original sin come to participate in the 'Heart Weighing', aren't they looking for trouble!
"I declare that you are not guilty."
The Jackal God held the scepter and glanced at Jolina indifferently. Seeing the golden source of power in her body that was like the sun, Anubis's eyes flickered slightly.
If she can really obtain the inheritance, my obligation to stay here will be fulfilled...
winter!
She waved her scepter, and a golden wall rose up in the Hall of the Dead, with a gold cabinet enshrined in the center of the wall.
Jolina looked up in surprise and looked up at the black cat.
The black cat showed a human smile: "Child, you deserve this. I believe that the 'Lord of the Sun and the Underworld' will not blame me for my choice."
Qiao Linna said respectfully: "I would like to ask, are you a consciousness in the spiritual world, or..."
"It's not important."
The black cat waved its tail and said gracefully and gently: "The important thing is that cats will not treat people who are kind to them badly."
"In your human terms."
The black cat's amber hole stood upright and said with a smile:
"This is called 'cat's repayment'."
Boom!!
The entire Palace of the Dead shook like an earthquake, and a dazzling golden light rose from the gold cabinet.
The eyes of the black cat and the jackal god looked at the golden light, full of respect.
This golden light circulated in the Hall of the Dead, falling quickly as if it had chosen Jolina.
Qiao Linna's red child condensed, stretched out her right hand to catch the stream of light, drew a golden arc with her arm, and held a golden card between her fingers.
The card shows a left eye, with tears underneath it, looking at the world gently and solemnly.
"Eye of Horus·Left Eye (Golden Legend): The left eye of Horus, symbolizing the moon, can give people the power to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and to discern weaknesses."
Jolina holds the card in her hand, incredible.
One of the symbols of Pharaoh Sharop, the Eye of Horus?
Almost subconsciously, the fire in her right palm ignited a cluster of golden source power, establishing a connection with the 'Eye of Horus'.
There was a hint of relief in Black Cat's eyes, as if he saw a card that had been dusted for many years and finally had a legacy.
The Jackal God held the scepter, and there was also a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The Eye of Horus recognized this human girl so easily!
Boom!!
The entire Palace of the Dead is collapsing, and rocks are falling around the Jackal God and the Black Cat, but they do not avoid it and watch the girl quietly.
Jolina realized that she might have obtained the 'unique' legendary card in the copy.
As a price, the consciousness of the two gods Buster and Anubis left here will soon dissipate!
"What should I do?" Jolina asked loudly.
"No need to panic."
Anubis said calmly: "Life and death are reincarnations. You have obtained the 'Eye of Horus', and this place should be closed."
"Every cat you meet in the world could be me."
The black cat shook its tail and smiled gently: "So, we may meet again."
Buzz.
Anubis tapped his scepter and teleported light to envelope Jolina.
When she came back to her senses, Jolina had already returned to the top floor of the tomb.
She closed her eyes lightly, felt a burning sensation in her left eye, and shed a tear.
The epee man had been waiting here for a long time, turned around and said:
"Finally out! How's the situation?"
"Something went wrong, but it was a near miss."
Jolina let out a breath, opened the watery red boy, and asked seriously: "Look at me, what's different about me?"
Lin Xiao was slightly startled, and carefully examined the girl's beautiful face, looking at her ruby-like twins, and said hesitantly:
"You, did you wear tear-stained makeup today?"
Different from usual, Jolina had an extra tear mole under her left eye.
Jolina pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes and no...this is the power of the card."
Lin Xiao was slightly startled: "Card?"
"Legendary level card, Eye of Horus."
Qiao Linna was in a good mood. She bent down and picked up the little seal next to Lin Xiao's feet. She put her arms around Dafu's abdomen and walked briskly:
"Let's go, Dafu, let's go eat top-notch salmon dishes!"
"Ooo!ヽ(≧?≦)?"
