Chapter 14 Desert and Trials

Karl obviously did not expect that the God Thoth in front of him would react like this.

Even if the other party is also aware of these things, this reaction is too strong.

Under the opponent's large movements, the mouth of the big mask on God Toth's head almost penetrated his mouth!

Facing such an excited god, Karl immediately said:

"God Thoth, can you calm down for a moment?"

"We can't have a good conversation like this, right?"

"..."

After Karl said this, God Thoth noticed his gaffe.

He quickly took two steps back, and then the corners of the mask's mouth moved away from Karl's face.

"I was rude."

Facing Karl at this moment, God Thoth performed a courtesy that he had never seen before.

Protect your chest with one hand, and hold your elbow with the other hand. As your arms move, your head lowers slightly.

Even if you don't understand the meaning, judging from the opponent's action of protecting his heart with one hand, this should be a very solemn action.

After all, in Egyptian mythology, the heart is the place where the soul resides.

When it comes to the heart, it is definitely a very important etiquette.

After performing this etiquette, God Thoth took a few more deep breaths, then raised his head and looked at Karl and continued:

"Mr. Karl, I do know the birthplace of mankind, and the same goes for the name Alice."

"But because the matter is so important, I hope you can explain it to me first."

"Of course no problem."

Seeing God Thoth assuming such a posture, Karl also understood that the other party attached great importance to his side of the news.

Considering the other party's attitude and the situation on his side, he immediately and generously told his previous experience.

In addition to the whole story of the incident, he even told the god in front of him about the remains of the Egyptian god he discovered during his underground journey.

Just quietly listening to Karl tell the story of this journey, God Thoth fell silent.

Without any regard for his status as a god, he sat down on the steps below the throne. His low temperament seemed to be mourning his lost god friend.

It wasn't until he pondered for more than a minute that the Egyptian god spoke again:

"Thank you very much for your generosity. I already know the general situation."

"In fact, I...or the Egyptian God, I also keep a very precious secret that only the main god of this pantheon knows."

As he spoke, God Thoth pointed towards Karl's chest with one hand, and then the emerald stone slab in his body changed in some way.

There was no need to get out of Karl's body. This main divine artifact projected a picture among them out of thin air, which was as magical as a holographic projection.

It was at this point that God Thoth continued to speak:

"In the very distant past, gods and even extraordinary beings had not yet been born."

"On the land of Egypt, a human tribe encountered something very magical..."

As this god narrated, the projection of the emerald stone slab also changed into a corresponding picture, and began to present the story of the past in a three-dimensional way for Karl and the others.

A long time ago, human beings' use of ether was still at a very primitive and ancient stage.

Except for a few people who are born holy and can transform magic power on their own, most people are not blessed with this mysterious power.

It was in this environment that a hunting team on the African land encountered an unprecedented encounter.

During a certain hunting trip, they mistakenly entered a huge cave under a grassland, and then encountered an unimaginable scene there.

Just like Carl and his friends on their journey to the center of the earth, these ancient people found high-tech products that were out of date in the cave.

Then, under the intelligent guidance of the base, they arrived at the deepest part of the cave and turned on a holographic projection player.

Through what the holographic projection told them, they learned how to make amulets and gained a lot of knowledge about the world.

It's a pity that because the level of civilization is too primitive, they only used the magical power of talismans in the end, and more knowledge that was completely incomprehensible was abandoned.

After all, you can't force a primitive human who was hunting the day before yesterday to understand the unified equation, right?

This accidental encounter was the beginning of the production and use of talismans by humans on earth. It can be said that this incident is the origin of all mysteries.

Later, the magical power of any civilization on earth was an extension of the talisman-making method discovered this time.

As the maintainer of myths native to Africa, the most powerful main god among the Egyptian gods has always held this secret. To this day, only the god Thoth is left, and he still has not forgotten this story.

"..."

After listening to God Thoth's story, Karl was silent for a moment, and then took the initiative to ask:

"So God Thoth, do you still know the location of this cave?"

Forget about the other news, this so-called underground cave is the most important thing right now.

Karl is almost 100% sure that this is the final destination of their trip.

Unfortunately, the answer to Karl was a rather ominous piece of information from the god Thoth.

First he shook his head regretfully, and then the god continued:

"It's a pity that in the past war between gods, that cave was completely destroyed by the previous generation of gods. I'm really sorry for that."

As soon as the words came out, everyone on Karl's side froze.

What an international joke!

I traveled thousands of miles to Africa, but the news given here was actually ruined?

Isn’t this kind of thing too disgusting?

If the clues are suddenly interrupted like this, what should they do next to find out the truth of the matter?

Looking at the expressions of Karl and the others, God Thoth also knew what his news meant to them.

So, the Egyptian native god immediately spoke again:

"Mr. Karl, things are not as bad as you think."

"Actually, there is other information in the message left by the forerunner named Alice."

After hearing these words from God Thoth, Karl finally cheered up:

"Any other news?"

"That's right."

He nodded seriously, and then God Thoth continued:

"According to records, the forerunner Alice said: 'The origin of mankind is in the desert of despair. Only those who have passed the test of nine pillars are qualified to know the truth.'"

"..."

Desert of despair, test of nine pillars?

This new term instantly fascinated Karl's mind.

God Thoth has no reason to deceive himself at this time, so the news should be accurate and true.

So since it was Alice who said it, she shouldn't have to worry about losing the clue.

This passage should be what guides you to move forward.
