The blazing white sun hangs near the horizon, dyeing layers of gorgeous flames, which is so beautiful.
In the hot and dry Sphinx camp, Lucien felt like a cool breeze was blowing through him.
He struggled in his heart and turned around hesitantly. Before he could speak, the sphinx who had previously ordered Lucien woke up and angrily yelled: "You bitch scorpion man, your head has grown below your ****? As soon as you saw the 'sacrifice'
You can't move your eyes or think? Why don't you bathe in the 'sun water'! Do you want to become an undead creature?"
The desert is barren, and the nobles of the Gusta Empire are not willing to expand to the south. Therefore, the natural enemies of the Sphinx have been the Scorpions since the fall of the ancient Meshket Empire, and most of the curse words are related to them.
Sun water? Lucien suddenly remembered that when he was observing, every time the sphinx named Feier was guarding the tomb, he would always go to the small stone house where the sun was shining directly at noon to hang out for a while, and then meet up with several other sphinxes.
Let's go to the mausoleum together.
Lucien had previously thought that this was the place where Feier had an appointment with a familiar sphinx. When he was hypnotized to obtain memories, he forgot to ask about the relevant content. Therefore, after being scolded by a guy who looked like a superior, he hurriedly used what he thought was a proper attitude.
Rushing to the mausoleum, unexpectedly it backfired.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I'll go right away." Lucien left in "fear", feeling relaxed and no longer worrying about whether it would be easier to hide it using "suggestion", "charming monsters" or "rotten sac control"
A ninth-level divine priest. Although it is impossible for it to monitor the entire camp and sense small magic fluctuations, it is nightfall and the tomb guards begin to change shifts. This "Sphinx Chief" will probably have to ask the Sphinx soon.
The senior priest reported the situation.
Inside the small stone house, a layer of sparkling golden liquid flows in a pool with patterns around it that resemble the sun's rays.
Next to the pool, a strong and ferocious female sphinx scooped up the strange liquid with a special golden spoon and poured it on the sphinx "grave guardians" who were waiting in line.
Seeing the savage and rude male sphinxes being obedient in front of this "girl", their eyes and expressions clearly showing admiration, Lucien couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Could it be that in the eyes of the male sphinxes, she is...
Is it a stunning beauty?”
Although it is a bit weird to use "only" to describe "beauty", it is indeed Lucien's true thought. This is obviously a standing lioness with a rough face and covered with golden fluffy hair. Even though it looks like a human,
It also belongs to the kind that has not yet completely evolved and cannot find any sense of beauty.
"The difference in aesthetics is really big..." Lucien bared his teeth and walked up to the sphinx "girl" and let her pour the golden liquid down. It was as warm as if he was bathing in the sun in winter, without any moisture on his body.
mark.
"Fair, you are a little weird today." The female sphinx Sana looked at Lucien in front of her and whispered, "Have you lost your courage? You don't dare to look directly at me?"
Lucien was almost startled again. When showing off his acting skills, he hates being called weird! Do you have to say that I am afraid of contaminating my eyes?
"Yes, I lost my courage." Lucien simply followed the female sphinx who felt good about herself and said.
Sana smiled crudely and said: "I'm curious about what made the reckless Feier lose his courage? He even lost the urge to chase his partner."
Is it necessary to stage a classic opera that relies on retreat to advance and arouses the curiosity of the "beauty" with indifference, but such a "beauty"... Lucien was deeply helpless. Fortunately, the great supporting role lived up to expectations.
In the team behind, a sphinx who was half a head taller than Feier said loudly: "Fer, don't waste everyone's time, don't try to attract Sana's attention with weird behavior! Humph, you were still peeking last night
Sana’s!”
Brother, you are so knowledgeable! Lucien pretended to be panicked when his plot was discovered, and looked at Sana with fear and expectation.
Sana suddenly realized, snorted and ignored "Fair".
Lucien left the small stone house exhausted even after defeating a high-level magician.
…………
"Follow me into the tomb, and don't disturb the 'king''s sleep." A tall sphinx with strong muscles and a long halberd said sternly to Lucien and other "tomb guards".
"As you command, Lord Helges." the "Tomb Keepers" replied in unison.
Lucien lowered his head, opened his mouth, and pretended to speak. He was inconspicuous among the many sphinxes. At the same time, he figured out the name of the captain of the "Tomb Watcher" in front of him. He seemed to have great abilities.
The strength of the knights, and among the dozens of "Tomb Watchers", there are five or six formal knights, and the rest are high-level knight attendants like "Fel".
Don't look at the relative number of "knight level" here is exaggerated, that's because as a branch to guard the tomb, there are many strong men from the surrounding sphinx tribes gathered - in addition to the hereditary guardians, they can be selected as "tomb guards"
"The" is the glory of ordinary sphinxes.
Under the leadership of Helges, Lucien looked at the huge stone bars around him, stepped onto the yellow-brown stairs, and entered the mausoleum.
As soon as we entered, the hot and dry desert climate immediately became eerie and cold, as if we had gone from the world of the living to the paradise of death in one step.
The rectangular gray stone tiles on the floor and walls showed no traces of corrosion, and exuded a cold, dead atmosphere against the inlaid gems, pearls, crystals, etc.
This mausoleum is larger and more majestic than any villa, manor or magic tower Lucien has ever seen. Both corridors and rooms can be used by giants.
Influenced by the Meshket Empire, in the legend of the Sphinx, they are in charge of the mysteries of life and death, believing that death is not the end, but the beginning of true immortality. The pyramid mausoleum allows the powerful Sphinx to lead to immortality.
That’s why the magic building in heaven is so magnificent.
At the same time, in private legends, many sphinxes believe that their greatest king, who has fallen into eternal sleep, will one day be resurrected through the pyramid tomb and lead the sphinx clan to become the master of the world.
The pyramid that Lucien is going to sneak into is the tomb of the greatest Sphinx King Phinks.
Lucien, who was holding a javelin, followed Helges around the mausoleum and saw rotting corpses hanging in many halls. Some were scorpions, some were humans, and some were from other races. After they were captured,
It became a life of sacrifice.
After climbing several floors in a row, this group of "Tomb Guards" soon entered a hall engraved with countless strange symbols. The scattered murals were painted with scenes of majestic sphinxes killing lives of other races.
In the hall, there were black sarcophagi. When passing by them, Lucien keenly felt that they contained evil and cold power!
"Is this a buried sphinx?" Lucien continued to move forward in confusion, "A sphinx 'guardian of the underworld' made in the mummification method?"
Since he was sneaking into the mausoleum and fearing that the "Crown of the Sun" might cause an accident, Lucien temporarily put it away, and his feeling of the power of death was not that exaggerated.
After leaving this somewhat strange hall, Herges continued to patrol with the "Tomb Guards". After passing through many corridors, he came to two huge stone doors.
On the stone door, the sun is carved on one side and the silver moon is painted on the other, symbolizing life and death respectively.
Even without deploying the mental force field, Lucien could clearly feel the terrifying breath of death solidifying behind the stone door!
It was this stone door. Behind it, Rhine quietly used the mausoleum itself to arrange a strange magic circle!
In front of the stone gate, there were two "gatekeepers" standing at the level of a knight. Each of their legs was much thicker than Feier's.
Beside them, there is a stone hut, in which a majestic sphinx high priest is sitting, praying for the resurrection of the "Great King".
How to sneak in? Lucien finally figured out the layout of the mausoleum, and his mind was running fast, thinking of a way - Rhine, as a legendary vampire, could enter the stone door without any difficulty after turning into the breeze, and could not provide a mausoleum at all.
Lucien could only get part of the detailed layout and patrol routes from Feier's memory.
The Sphinx High Priest is a high-level existence, and it is easy to alarm the God-affiliated Priests directly. With the layout of the mausoleum, it can strangle most of the powerful men below the level of legend.
Moreover, in front of the high priest, Lucien could not sneak attack the "gatekeepers" and transform into them.
"Let's go back." Herges saluted the high priest and led his team of "Tomb Watchers" back, ending the first round of patrols.
Lucien, who couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, could only follow it and leave, dragging him at the end of the team. When he turned the corridor, a small black gold stone fell from his body, fell to the ground gently without any sound, and rolled quietly to the corner.
In the darkness.
After walking through corridors one after another and approaching the hall where the sarcophagi were placed, Lucien spotted two sphinxes dressed as "gatekeepers" coming from the opposite side.
"Go and guard the stone gate?" Lucien thought for a moment, then lowered his head and continued to follow the "large army", passing by the two "gatekeepers".
After turning a few more corridors and entering the strange hall, Helges whispered: "Take a rest here and wait for another team of watchers to patrol."
Then, all the "grave keepers" stopped and gathered together in twos and threes to rest.
The hall was filled with gloomy energy, and it penetrated into Lucien's body like a substance, but it was blocked by the "warm feeling". Helges seemed to hate this evil breath of death, and took a few more steps forward.
, went to stand tall outside the hall.
Seeing this, Lucien quietly moved to the corner, and then sneaked towards the corridor leading to the stone door.
"What are you going to do?" As soon as Lucien silently stepped into the corridor, Helges's voice suddenly came!
He kicked off his legs and appeared next to Lucien like the wind.
Being caught sneaking away is definitely not a pleasant thing!
Lucien raised his head and said with "panic": "Lord Helges, I, my treasure, the gem fell in the corridor in front. I am afraid that someone will pick it up..."
As he spoke, Helges showed the hole in his pocket.
The deep eyes were full of pleading. Helges felt soft for some reason and whispered: "Go and pick it up quietly without disturbing the high priest."
What can such a "Tomb Keeper" who does not even have a formal knight level do?
Lucien "cryed with gratitude" and repeatedly expressed his feelings in confusing and confusing sentences. Then he turned around and walked forward lightly.
With the combination of psychological guidance and real events, the suggestion technique no longer needs to be used at full strength, and the magic fluctuations become very small!
…………
Lucien first quickened his pace and caught up with the two "janitors" who went to hand over the goods, and then followed them slowly until they reached a certain section of corridor.
The speed became very fast, Lucien passed by the two gatekeepers in a panic, and because he was too panicked, he rubbed the arm of a certain "gatekeeper" hard.
"Stop!" The gatekeeper Askar's voice was low, suppressing his anger. This lowly "grave guard" wanted to leave without saying anything after bumping into him?
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lucien seemed to have just realized the mistake he had made.
Askar became even more angry at Lucien's attitude and rolled his eyes: "Walking around alone in the mausoleum, your behavior is very suspicious! And you bumped into me, so you can just say sorry?"
"I acted with the consent of Lord Helges. I have to retrieve my gem." Lucien said like a dumbfounded fool, "Just a bump, sorry is enough!"
Askar roared angrily: "What qualifications does Helges have? Kneel down and apologize!"
"I am Lord Helges's subordinate, and his orders are my qualifications! I have already said I'm sorry and I won't apologize again!" Lucien replied with a trembling body, but he still spoke sternly.
Aska argued with him for a few more words. Seeing that both his tone and movements were full of "hit me, hit me, hit me if you can", he suddenly became angry and started to
I need to use my fists to teach this damn scorpion man a lesson.
"Aska, wait a minute, there is a surveillance circle here, be careful not to be seen by the high priest." Askar's companion, Inke, quietly pointed to the corner ahead, "Go there, you can't see it there."
Aska laughed ferociously and mentioned Lucien: "I want you to know what dignity and inferiority are!"
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Lucien seemed stunned.
Aska smiled with satisfaction, carried Lucien around the corner, and then punched the disgusting scorpion man.
Boom, Askar felt severe pain in his abdomen, his eyes moved down blankly, and he saw a slightly shiny fist hitting again.
The scream was suppressed in his throat and was indistinct. Aska's eyes went dark and he fainted.
Inke on the other side heard the banging sounds and indistinct screams coming from the opposite side, and shook his head, Aska is so violent!
After a while, Inke saw Aska coming back with a smile on his face, so he asked curiously: "How is it?"
"Haha, I've beaten that guy until he doesn't even recognize his mother!" Aska said proudly.
"What did you just do?" Suddenly, the voice of the high priest came from the end of the corridor! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
