Sitting on the ruins of the dilapidated wooden house, Bai Xiaowen opened Naihe's gold treasure chest.
"Kill him directly like this, and you won't be afraid that the clues will be lost." Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "There is no other way. If Naihe is weak, it would be best if I could use the confusion spell to control him... But his personal strength is too strong. This is why he can be controlled by a slave gladiator.
The reason for Matt’s appreciation.”
"We can make a deal with him, ask for information, etc." Li Shuyi started thinking.
"It is unrealistic to expect him to tell us the truth. Moreover, when we reveal Naihe's identity, we are destined to take action. From Naihe's perspective, he will not allow two people who know his identity to live.
, otherwise freedom will be in vain.”
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued: "Actually, as Naihe is a key figure in the Samite party, the chance of the treasure chest revealing clues is still very high. After all, we accepted the task from Pharaoh Ramesses to track down Hittite spies.
"
Tracking down the Hittite spies is an elite-level B-level side mission, which is not very difficult. Bai Xiaowen doesn't take it too seriously. If you can do it, just do it. If you can't, just leave it alone. Anyway, it won't affect the income from completing the mission.
It took Bai Xiaowen three full days to get from Amulu Fortress to Im Village. After all, he was returning to Egypt from West Asia, which was far away from the location of the Pharaoh. Even if he completed this elite branch, he still had to walk for three days to hand in the mission.
…
The combat score for killing Nahe is C, and there is one chance to draw.
From this point of view, the fact that they killed the Hittite commander Horimu and received an A-level rating in the last battle was indeed related to the battlefield situation. Bai Xiaowen and his two men bucked the trend and killed the commander of the dominant side, which added a lot of battles.
score.
Bai Xiaowen drew directly, and then got a prompt that he got a prop.
[Gladiator's Secret Medicine: A+ level prop. After use, strength and agility are increased by 20%, and movement speed is increased by 50%, lasting 30 seconds. After the duration, the user will fall into a weak state, and all attributes will be halved, lasting 300
minute.】
"Isn't this Naihe's ultimate move... It turns out that it relies on taking medicine. Although the negative effect lasts for a long time, it can be regarded as a trump card if used well." Bai Xiaowen frowned. If the negative effect is reduced, this prop
It’s more than just the grade of A+ ordinary props.
Since it only increases strength and agility by a percentage, it would be a waste for Bai Xiaowen to use it. Therefore, this secret medicine was given to Li Shuyi.
In the treasure chest, there is a special item that will definitely drop - a roll of old papyrus.
Bai Xiaowen's hand touched the papyrus and got a hint:
"You have obtained a special item: Naihe's journal."
"Sure enough." Li Shuyi said in surprise. With this diary, there is hope to pursue it.
"This diary is actually part of my calculations, and it will definitely contain information about Hittite spies and Samate's associates. However, whether we can find information about the Silent Tongue depends on luck."
According to the consistent rules of the spirit world, items related to tasks or with a strong correlation with the awakened person will increase the probability of explosion. Some task items will even be sent to the awakened person in the form of "definitely dropped".
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen guessed that killing Naihe would lead to the side mission "Cleaning out Hittite spies". But the Silent Tongue and Hittite spies are two different things. Maybe this sect has nothing to do with Samaite...
Bai Xiaowen flipped through the diary. He read very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to turn to the last page.
"This man named Naihe is really not simple."
Bai Xiaowen breathed out and said: "I originally thought it was a bit unreasonable that the rules of the spirit world issued a diary of Naihe as a clue. The literacy rate in ancient Egypt was not high, and knowledge was in the hands of nobles and priests. Naihe
How could a person born as a slave have the habit of writing a diary? Only after reading the diary did I realize that I had made a mistake."
"This Naihe is a low-level monk in the Memphis Temple. Because a sacrifice went wrong, he was punished by the priest, demoted to a slave, and sold to the Avaris Arena."
"Originally, Nehe was not even considered a preliminary gladiator, but a lower-level 'material' for gladiators to beat and hone their skills. On the day before the new gladiator participated in the gladiator for the first time, he was used as a sacrifice.
Newcomer gladiator kills..."
"However, Naihe broke the fate of the sacrifice and killed the new gladiator who was strong and well-trained. It was this counter-kill that made the boss of the arena see his potential and start targeting him.
Training for flexible movement characteristics.”
"Then Naihe fought consecutively in the arena and became the ace gladiator in Avares Arena. Later, Samate watched the arena and appreciated him very much. He bought out his contract and took him with him, becoming his confidant.
subordinate……"
Li Shuyi said: "This person's experience is indeed legendary, and he can be the leading actor in a TV series... What about the clues? Are there any clues?"
"Naihe did represent Samate and contacted the priests of the snake god Edjo," Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "The bad news is that they rejected Samate's solicitation..."
"What about the good news?"
"The good news is that Naihe's diary mentioned one of the strongholds of the Snake God Sect," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "Although the sect did not participate in Samate's rebellion, as long as we don't tell, who will know? For the suit
, no matter what, this time we both have to treat innocent villains for once."
Li Shuyi curled her lips.
…
More than a hundred miles southwest of Memphis, on the west side of Im Village, there is an ancient and dilapidated building, the Edjo Temple.
This temple, in terms of building area, sacrificial specifications, and influence, is far inferior to Karnak Temple and Memphis Temple. To use an analogy, it is like the difference between an ancient temple and a Shaolin Temple.
Low popularity means a lack of believers. Except for occasional donations from several surrounding villages, the sect that hosts this temple basically has no source of income. The lower-level monks even have to farm by themselves.
But on this day, this small and dilapidated temple welcomed two distinguished guests.
The two distinguished guests spent generously and directly donated 100 kite units (nearly one kilogram) of gold to the temple! For the priests of the Edjo Temple who had not received high-roller followers for a long time, it was like rain after a long drought.
Soon, the two distinguished guests were received into the main hall of the temple, and were received by the current high priest.
These two so-called distinguished guests are naturally Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi.
The 100 kate units of gold came from Bai Xiaowen's extortion when he contacted the city lord of Memphis. As the Pharaoh's trusted royal guard, he was also investigating the major case of Sammet's betrayal. As long as he casually hinted, the local officials
The filial piety will be offered.
Of course, the gold that Bai Xiaowen knocked was more than 100 Kate units. Unfortunately, these golds cannot be brought out of the spirit world and are not of high value.
Sitting face to face with the high priest of the Edjo Temple, Bai Xiaowen unceremoniously gave an insight into the origin of the old guy sitting in front of him.
This high priest is a rare elite named Anmusu.
"Excuse me, why did the guest come to Edjo's temple? In the delta now, there are fewer and fewer people who believe in the great snake god..." High Priest Anmusu was looking for words. He hoped that Bai Xiaowen was a believer in the snake god.
, rather than tourists coming from afar.
"I did not originally believe in the snake god, but one day, the snake god gave me a miracle in my dream. I felt that this was God's guidance, and I must worship her and become her believer. After investigation, I found out
There is a temple of a snake god here, so I came here."
Bai Xiaowen started the trick of deception, "I have to say that after coming here, my thoughts were shaken... How could the temple of the great Edcho be so dilapidated? My heart is full of confusion."
Li Shuyi felt itchy in her heart after hearing this, and wanted to take a small notebook to write down her thoughts at this moment. Bai Xiaowen was really professional when it came to deceiving people in the spiritual world.
The two paragraphs just now successfully created the image of a "potential believer of Edcho", the kind of false believer who will convert if he fights hard, but if he doesn't fight, he may switch to other gods.
In addition to the wealthy image created by Bai Xiaowen before, how could the poor and dilapidated Aideqiao Temple not do everything possible to win over him?
High Priest Anmusu said with a straight face: "Confused believer, you can feel the guidance of the great snake god in your dreams. This is a supreme honor. The snake god favors you, and if you are exposed by outsiders,
If appearances blind you and you deviate from the embrace of the snake god, this gift may turn into a disaster."
Having said this, the high priest slowly stood up, pointed to the giant snake statue in the north of the hall and said:
"This is the statue of Edcho. It has a history of two thousand years and has witnessed the changes of more than ten generations of dynasties."
Anmusu pointed to the pillars again: "The words on these pillars were all engraved during the Old Kingdom and carry thousands of years of wisdom."
Then Anmusu opened the shrine and took out rolls of yellowed files:
"These documents have been passed down for more than a thousand years and are the most precious treasure of the temple."
"For thousands of years, Edcho's eyes have been staying here and never moved away. You see the desolation of this temple, but you don't expect the rich history and ubiquitous divine grace it carries! In ancient times,
In the era, the status of this temple even surpassed Karnak and Memphis! In front of this ancient temple, those two temples are just upstarts!"
High Priest Anmusu raised his hands like a fanatical preacher. His wrinkled face really had a solemn look that made people admire him and be infected by him.
"Sure enough... all professional magicians have the talent to deceive people. When he said this, this dilapidated little temple immediately rose to several levels..."
Bai Xiaowen muttered in his heart.
High Priest Anmusu glanced at Bai Xiaowen quietly. He didn't see any sign of movement on Bai Xiaowen's face, and he felt a little anxious. Showing off history was the only thing the dilapidated Aideqiao Temple could boast about.
"Master Priest, I would like to ask... apart from you, is there any other high priest in this temple now?"
Anmusu frowned and said: "There are several priests in the temple, but I am the only high priest who presides over the temple."
"Really? I heard that there are several priests in the Edcho Temple who are favored by the snake god. In terms of strength, they are not even inferior to the priests of the Memphis Temple, such as Moai Tehe, Amos and Lord Tia... No
Do you know where it is?"
This is what Bai Xiaowen has always been puzzled about. The priest Anmusu in front of him is just a rare elite. How can He De be in charge of the Snake God Sect?
You know, Snake Shepherd Tia is the leader creature, so the other two leaders of the Silent Tongue Sect who are as famous as him will definitely not be weaker than the leader.
After a short observation, Bai Xiaowen did not see even a single leader creature in this temple.
"You...how do you know these three names?" An Musu was surprised and said loudly.
Just from the words of Priest Anmusu, Bai Xiaowen judged that Anmusu did know the news about Tia and others!
"On this point, the priest does not need to ask any more questions..."
Bai Xiaowen stood up straight and took out the golden token given by the Pharaoh, "I am the Pharaoh's secret envoy. On the order of the great Pharaoh King Ramesses, I am tracking down Hittite spies! There is a major suspicion in the Edjo Temple, starting from the high priest down.
, all will be detained, and anyone who resists will be treated as treason!"
Chaotic footsteps sounded, followed by shouts, tables and chairs overturned, cups and plates falling to the ground...
High Priest Anmusu was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted. He pointed his skinny finger at Bai Xiaowen: "You...you are actually..."
"High Priest Anmusu, you don't have to be afraid. At present, your sect is just suspected. As long as the investigation is clear and you are not treasonous, there will be no danger." Bai Xiaowen smiled treacherously.
Some monks from the Edcho Temple, armed with sticks, formed a circular formation to fight against the approaching Memphis city defense army.
However, facing the heavily armed city defense troops, the monks did not dare to take action and ran over to ask Anmusu for instructions on what to do.
An Musu sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it...put down your weapons."
This order was somewhat beyond Bai Xiaowen's expectations.
He originally thought that a sect that has been inherited for more than two thousand years must be a typical example of centipede insects that can die without freezing. No matter what, they will not be blamed by a hundred city defense troops. They even prepared for temporary battles and jumped out several times.
Mental preparation for a boss.
These one hundred Egyptian city defense soldiers were brought over to be used as cannon fodder.
A group of priests and monks were controlled, and soldiers from the Memphis city defense army surrounded them.
Anmusu said: "Master Secret Envoy, we serpent priests have always followed the teachings of the great Edjo, and never do anything beyond our duties, let alone betray Egypt. Please be aware of this."
"Really? Please tell me first, what are the origins of these three people, Moai Taihe, Amos and Tia?"
