"Is this potion any different from the potion usually used to make mummies?" the young guard looked at Princess Yamalana and asked.
As an indispensable mummy in ancient Egyptian civilization, it is almost universally known - but the craftsmanship of making mummies is not something that ordinary people can master - otherwise the number of mummies spread to modern times would not be like this.
of rarity.
Princess Yamanlana seemed to be interested in the young guard being interested in the potion itself, so she thought for a moment and said: "This formalin potion was obtained through a special way, and I brought it back here later.
Then I asked the scholars here to study with me, and it took a long time to find alternative medicinal materials, and finally the preparation was successful."
"A special way...a place outside the desert?" the young guard asked immediately.
Princess Yamanlana said: "This method is not suitable for ordinary people. Even if you know it, it will be useless."
The young guard just nodded and seemed to have no intention of asking any more questions... The enough-is-enough attitude made Princess Yamanlana's beautiful eyes slightly curved - she suddenly understood why she felt so comfortable getting along with this guy.
Because he was just curious and had no intention... He had no other intentions for himself - but it was difficult for Princess Yamanlana to imagine why such a person would become a guard of the palace. Perhaps he is more suitable to follow the path of a scholar.
"Iben, are you interested in learning?" Princess Yamanlana suddenly looked at her with bright eyes.
"Study?" The young guard smiled and said, "I quite like studying."
Princess Yamalana went one step further... She opened her hands with a hint of fanaticism like a certain mustached head of state: "Iben, you are still young, and you still have a lot of time in the future... Have you ever thought about it?
, change your life through learning? Think about it, as a guard of the palace, you may have to wait until you are forty to get ahead. During this process, you don't know whether you can survive every dark night and the longest day in between.
But if you are willing to learn and become a scholar, the situation will be completely different. I will do my best to protect every scholar who is loyal to me... because scholars are the most important wealth of the kingdom! You know
What is everything in this research institute? The things here can allow us to kill giant beasts more efficiently, can help us understand the characteristics and living habits of giant beasts, and may even study the origin of these giant beasts...
And all of this is a subject called [Science]! And [Science] is the only ultimate force that can change the world!"
The young guard suddenly said: "No wonder the people here look quite young... Did they let Her Royal Highness encourage them to come in like this before?"
Princess Yamanlana said: "Young people have passion and have the courage to challenge tradition! Yes, although the scholars here are young, their knowledge is definitely not much worse than those long-established scholars in the kingdom! They even
They are more energetic and more willing to engage in new subjects than older academics... The future has always been in the hands of younger people!"
Seeing the expression of Her Royal Highness Princess Yamanlana becoming increasingly excited, the young guard said casually: "I think I need to think about it."
Princess Yamanlana did not seem disappointed by this... She even seemed to have anticipated the other party's reaction, "It doesn't matter, you should think about it carefully... Think about it clearly, see it clearly, think about it clearly, this country
What do you really need! I will wait for your answer, Iben!"
They looked at each other for about a few breaths.
As if this conversation had never happened, the young guard turned around and looked at the head of the giant beast in the pool, "Your Highness, it seems that this place has been studied for a while... I wonder if the scholars here have found these giant beasts.
There is no origin of the beast.”
Princess Yamanlana seemed quite dissatisfied with the indifference of the young guard... She frowned slightly, but soon calmed down and said calmly: "These giant beasts should not have such huge bodies... Facts
Through collecting specimens over the years, we have discovered that these giant beasts have similar structures to many ordinary creatures living in the desert... Look here."
Princess Yamalana pointed to the pool on the other side - there were many pools of different sizes here, and the young guard was standing in just one of them.
On the other side of the pool, there is a complete corpse of a giant beast... The total volume of this giant beast's corpse is only as big as the head of the giant beast that was seen at the beginning... It is about three meters high.
"Look, what does this giant beast look like?" Princess Yamanlana asked directly.
The young guard said: "It looks a bit like a scorpion."
"Yes, it looks like a scorpion." Princess Yamanlana nodded: "By hunting this giant beast, we found that it has the same habits as a scorpion. Later, we broke open its body and found that it
The structure of its internal organs is basically the same as that of a scorpion... except that its organs have obviously become stronger, its shell has become stronger, its pincers have become sharper, and it can even shoot venom and corrode rocks and sand... It
The speed is even more astonishing.”
Speaking of this, Princess Yamanlana couldn't help but shook her head and said with a wry smile: "If these giant beasts didn't like to live in groups, they would even kill each other. Facing such powerful them, we would have no choice at all.
Any chance of winning."
"What is this?" The young guard pointed at the body of the mutated scorpion-like beast in the pool and asked somewhere between the jaw and the neck.
If he remembered correctly, the giant beast's head in the pool next to it seemed to have the same thing on its forehead: a black crystal that looked like crystal.
"Curse Stone" Princess Yamanlana frowned and said: "In fact, we don't know what it is... Not every giant beast will have this kind of [Curse Stone] in its body, only those who are particularly powerful,
Or perhaps it is possible to find such crystals only in the bodies of extremely special giant beasts."
"Why is it called [Curse Stone]?"
Princess Yamanlana thought for a while and said: "Anyone who accidentally touches it will have his body eroded and then turned into a pile of sand, just like the enemy of the Sun God, the evil desert king."
The Lord cursed it... so we call it the [Curse Stone]."
"Lord of the Desert...Set?" the young guard said thoughtfully.
Princess Yamanlana frowned, asked with a warning in her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Iben, in the City of the Sun, this evil name is not allowed to be mentioned... You should know this.
!”
...I just found out.
The young guard said: "But Her Royal Highness the Princess just told me that I must have the courage to challenge those outdated things."
At the same time, as a saint of the Temple of the Sun God, Princess Yamanlana's face darkened at this time, "Mortals should not make rash comments about the gods... As the people of the Sun God, we should abide by the laws of the gods.
Rules!”
The young guard suddenly smiled.
"Why are you laughing?" Princess Yamanlana frowned immediately.
The young guard casually glanced at the passage when he came in, then looked at Her Royal Highness and said slowly: "[Science], the ultimate power to change the world... This is what you firmly believe in, Your Highness. I was just curious suddenly.
, I wonder if the power of [science] can defeat it compared to the gods.”
His voice was not loud, but it suddenly silenced all the sounds in the entire institute at this moment... There was silence all around, and the busy scholars stopped their hands and looked at this young man.
The guard looked at it.
There was fear in their eyes...but also confusion, and even a hint of fanaticism.
Princess Yamanlana opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something... Her Royal Highness the Princess looked around, but suddenly waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "Today's visit time is over! The banquet should have started, I should
Attended...just leave with me!"
Finally, under the silent gazes of many young scholars, the young guard and Princess Yamanlana slowly left the heavily guarded research institute.
After the princess and the guards left, the young scholars gathered together and talked quietly.
"Did you hear that? He said that!"
"Shh... this is a taboo, don't mention it again!"
"Since it's taboo, then why are we here? Isn't it just to challenge..."
"Shut up--!"
The scholars immediately fell silent... because the person who shut up this time was the eldest among them, and one of the first initiators who followed Her Royal Highness to establish the research institute.
The brief chaos was quickly suppressed, and the young scholars began their research work again... But no one noticed that in the sudden discussion and commotion just now, a dark shadow quietly broke into the research
In the middle of the institute... quietly walked deeper into the institute.
That is where Her Royal Highness the Princess did not take the young guards to visit... where more of the core secrets of the institute are located.
…
…
Her Royal Highness Princess Yamalana remained silent along the way and walked in front alone...until she saw the light of lights in front of her - probably not far away from the banquet venue.
His Royal Highness the Palace Master suddenly stopped and said, "Iben, I hope you don't tell anyone what happened today."
The young guard asked curiously: "The research institute is in the palace, in such a big building... Don't even the people in the palace know about it?"
Princess Yamanlana shook her head and said: "The people in the palace, including the great gods, also know that I have such a research institute, but they just think that it is a place where I use it to research weapons to deal with giant beasts... What I am talking about is, [Science]
, and the last words you said... If you don’t want the kingdom to think you are a heretic, it’s best not to say the same thing again in the future.”
"Then what's the answer to Her Royal Highness?" the young guard asked in a low voice.
"What?" Princess Yamanlana was startled subconsciously, and her face even darkened.
When he was young, he seemed to have not seen it, and asked himself: "Your Highness, do you think [science] can defeat the gods...as the ultimate force to change the world?"
"I said it!" Princess Yamanlana was immediately furious, "Don't mention the same words again... Iben, do you think I really dare not execute you?"
The furious Princess even took out the artifact she kept close to her body and pointed it at the young guard.
The young guard shook his head, "As the princess of the kingdom, I believe that Her Royal Highness fully possesses this power."
"Then you return it!" Princess Yamanlana glared, her expression becoming more and more fierce.
The young guard said: "Because I want to know if Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to recruit me to be your scholar...whether she will be willing to open your heart. I want to know what Her Royal Highness the Princess believes in, whether it is gods or gods.
……【science】."
The artifact - the pistol trembled slightly due to the owner's emotional fluctuations at this time. Princess Yamanlana took a deep breath, and finally slowly lowered the artifact and put it away.
She then slowly said: "Look with your eyes... You can judge for yourself whether it is worth becoming a scholar. This is the last warning. You are not allowed to say the same thing a third time... Next time, I will
There won’t be any hesitation.”
"In this way..." The young guard nodded, and then said softly: "Then, let me follow Her Royal Highness for the time being... Use my eyes to see clearly."
Princess Yamanlana could not help but twitch her brows, then snorted and turned away.
...Did this guy do it on purpose?
...These words are nothing compared to teasing...
At this moment.
"Quick! Come here and search! I will definitely find it! Find something that makes the princess smile... Haha, I am going to become the kingdom's prince-consort!"
"Dream! I must be the one who can find something to make the princess smile! You all get out of here!"
"Hahaha! I didn't expect Princess Yamanlana's question to be so simple. I've already thought of the answer!"
Only a few palace guards and a man who looked like a young master from a certain minister's family were seen. They quickly rushed into the courtyard and then started looking around for something.
Their voices were not loud... but they were able to be heard carefully by Princess Yamalana in the dim corridor.
Princess Yamanlana couldn't help but be startled. She was a smart person, but she had already made a guess based on the words of these men.
The general meaning is that Her Royal Highness the Princess has set a question, so that the man who can solve the problem will become her guest... Your Highness the Princess?
But Princess Yamanlana doesn’t even remember when she had any questions!
"Could it be...father?" Princess Yamanlana was confused. She didn't know the relationship between herself and the pharaoh of the kingdom. There had always been some discord. In order to restrict herself, the pharaoh was indeed interested in letting her get married.
"You just want me to..." Princess Yamanlana silently looked at the lights of the banquet not far away, and suddenly sighed slowly.
"What happened?" The young guard walked forward and asked curiously.
Princess Yamanlana raised her head at this time, looked at the young guard in front of her, and suddenly gritted her teeth... Her Highness the Princess suddenly reached out, took off the earrings from her earlobes, and stuffed them into the young guard.
in hands.
"You, take this earring and go to Pharaoh and tell him... I already have the answer!"
Young guard: "??"
Father, if you want me to get married so much... then I will make it happen for you!
