Chapter 661 Egypt
Since 13 years ago, the Egyptians have lost contact with Greece on the other side of the Mediterranean.

As the seaport with the largest throughput, Alexander panicked for a while at first, but quickly resigned to his fate.

My Heavenly Kingdom has a vast land and resources, so where do I need to communicate with the barbarians in the north?After the empty warehouses of merchant ships departing for Greece returned one after another, the seaport city of Alexandria has lost the prosperity and vitality it had many years ago. Except for some fishermen who refused to give up their homes, many people in this city are I went to Cairo with my family to discuss life.

As for the demigod wizards in Egypt who wore animal headgear or simply turned into a beast head, the situation in the north is obviously not as simple as the people think. The evil brewing over the Balkan Peninsula, and the dark clouds that have not dissipated for more than ten years are completely a spectacle for this vast world, and the terrifying ghosts hidden in those dark clouds are eating away at the originally vibrant land under their feet, They knew that if those ghosts were allowed to get everything in the peninsula, their next move would be a warmer and more prosperous south.

Therefore, although the mortals of Alexander left their hometowns one after another and the streets became depressed, more and more wizards gathered in the bay far away from the city, which also made the Alexandrians who stayed at home feel extremely honored and grateful It is already the greatest honor in life for an ordinary Egyptian to meet God, not to mention being able to see a god with a chicken head or a dog head walking around on the street from time to time.

Perhaps for the people of Alexandria, there will be nothing new here, until two months ago, a strange pair of master and servant boarded a port that had not been visited by outsiders for a long time on a wooden boat that dived from the bottom of the sea.

The stunned fishermen at first thought it was a shipwrecked ship when they saw a wooden sailboat rush out from under the sea, hit the pier hard, and the bottom of the boat continued to slide along the sand until it ran aground. Under the guidance of the gods, the body of its owner was sent back to its homeland. They cautiously approached this sailboat with a style very different from theirs, until there was a "bang bang" knocking sound at the belly of the boat, and a black hand with blistered and wrinkled skin broke it. The wooden boards at the bottom of the boat seeped out from inside. The stiff fingers and terrifying color caused many people to hear the legend about the resurrection of the mummy, and they left their fishing boats and fled.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have repaired the boat so strong!"

After the crowd fled in all directions, Tom's deep cursing came from the boat. He waved the hardened Haierbo and smashed the inner wall of the cabin like a sledgehammer. After working hard, it finally opened a hole enough for people to pass through.

"boom!"

Hai Erbo's stiff body was pushed out and stuck upside down on the soft sand. Tom quickly crawled out of the hole, looked down at his clean clothes, shook his head, and waved his wand. A flame flashed by and burned him into the same mess as Haierbo, but it wasn't enough. He simply waved his staff and summoned a cloud of sea water to pour over his head, looking exactly like the unlucky guy who had been shipwrecked .

He looked around at the deserted beach, the scattered fishing boats and gear, and the dense footprints that were slowly being filled by the sand. He couldn't understand what happened here for a while.

"Perhaps a sea monster just ran over?"

Shrugging in surprise, Tom took out an exquisite compass from his pocket, compared it with the map Nelson gave him, and looked at the scattered buildings on the horizon and the protruding triangles in the distant wasteland. Nodded, "It looks like I've arrived in Egypt. I hope the Egyptians can buy Gnar some time... But then again, I haven't heard of any sea monsters in Egypt."

He turned around and dragged out a bag of herbs collected on the way from the cabin, and finally noticed Hai Erbo, whose head was stuck on the beach and his body was stiff. Hai Erbo had already started to sink along the soft gravel. The neck was already buried, and Tom finally pulled him out, muttering, "Is this half buried in the ground? Let's find a place to live first."

He carried Hai Erbo and the herb bag on his shoulders, took a step, and walked in the direction of the building complex.

There was no one on the way, until he saw a girl with her back facing him, finishing fishing nets, by the river extending from the port.

"I finally saw a living person." Tom breathed a sigh of relief. In order to avoid frightening people with Haierbo's appearance, he thoughtfully hid Haierbo under the curb, and walked quickly behind her.

The fisherwoman didn't notice Tom's approach, she was just peeling off the grass leaves and sundries on the fishing net clumsily. Her fingers were so slender that they even looked as fragile as glass products, and her wheat-colored skin was dotted with sweat. Beads, showing a crystal-like luster in the sun, there is no decoration on the body except for a brass collar with pits and holes, only a smock that has been washed countless times and is the same color as the Nile River. The straw sandals were worn backwards without realizing it, and her fingertips were covered with layers of old and new scars, which seemed to be left by fishing nets. Her long black hair was split on her shoulders, blocking her relatively fair neck.

When he was about to get close to her, Tom deliberately made a lot of noise and even stomped on the ground a few times, but the fisher girl still didn't respond, as if she couldn't hear Tom's voice at all.

"cough!"

Tom walked behind her and coughed vigorously, but the fisher girl still didn't respond at all.

"Cough cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Just when Tom began to wonder if he had tuberculosis, the fisherwoman finally made a move. She turned around to face Tom, glanced at his legs, then stretched out her hands and slowly groped the ground.

Tom felt a little angry. He had never been ignored so much in his life, but he still suppressed his anger, looked at the girl's face, and waited for her to finish her work.

This girl was not much different from the Egyptian he had imagined. Her brown face had a dark luster, but her skin was relatively delicate. Her full lips were obviously different from those of Europeans, and her slightly wider nose was unique.

He shifted his gaze to the girl's big eyes, and quickly discovered her peculiarity—her left eye was hollow and lifeless, and her right eye was even shriveled and shriveled, like a torn gap on a painting that destroys the beauty—this is A blind woman.

Her hand groped timidly on the ground, and Tom looked in the direction of her hand, noticing another pair of old fishing nets at his feet.

He lightly kicked the net to the fisher girl's hand, and when he touched the net, the girl's palm had a few small wounds cut by gravel, but she didn't care, and pulled the net to her face and began to pick it The sundries, the movement is slow and immersed, as if the only thing in her life is tidying the fishing net. .

"Hello," Tom shook his dripping hair, and the fisherwoman who was clearing the net said with a smile, "beautiful lady, can you see me?"

He soon realizes that the girl probably doesn't understand English, and doesn't understand Greek, so he racks his brains about Egyptian, only to find that he doesn't know it at all.

Tom felt like he was going to throw up, and the rough sea didn't bother him so much. He shook his head, moved closer to the girl, and yelled.

The shout alarmed the vultures resting on the top of the tree in the distance, but it didn't make the girl react at all. Tom frowned and his eyes widened. She didn't ignore it at all, but couldn't see or hear it at all.

"How did such a person grow up so big in BC?"

Tom felt a little unbelievable. Looking around, there was no one, so he pulled out his wand and pressed it against the back of the girl's head. The moment she felt a hard object on her head, the girl panicked, but Tom's spell had already been released, and the girl just struggled In an instant, her body relaxed, and her unbelievably simple memory also appeared in Tom's mind.

There is no sound or text, everything is so chaotic, except for some muddy and distant light and shadow, her memory only has smell, temperature and touch. Under the outline of these simple elements, except for someone teaching her the basics of eating Nothing but sleeping and cleaning nets.

Tom jerked his wand away, staring at the girl's stiff back, dumbfounded.

But the girl who regained consciousness from Legilimency suddenly turned her head, staring fixedly at Tom's position with a pair of lifeless eyes. This was the first time since she was born that she felt other people besides touch. The presence.

She opened her hands and fumbled in Tom's direction awkwardly. Tom was a little flustered. He had never seen this kind of person before. He took a few steps back, picked up the herbal bag and Haierbo from the curb, and then walked along the dirt road leading to the town. and flee.

Many young people in Alexandria have never even seen people on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea, so that when Tom appeared on the street wet with a "mummy", many people regarded him as a villain in the underworld in mythology. With his dark skin, full lips, and sharp facial features, the fair-skinned Tom is undoubtedly very eye-catching.

Tom had no intention of communicating, so he found an empty house facing the sea, cleaned it briefly, moved Haierbo in, picked a lucky passerby at random on the street, learned Egyptian, and settled here down.

No one knows what this stranger is here for. After a period of panic, the settlement between Alexandria and the harbor acquiesced to his existence, not only because some old people recognized their Greek identity , but also because of those exquisite silver coins of extremely high purity that he took out boldly when buying, and it is not that no one covets the wealth of these two foreigners, but when the street thieves returned home in a daze and vowed to be a good person, such an idea Almost all of them were dismissed by malicious people.

As a city where foreigners could be seen everywhere, Alexandria once again ushered in foreigners whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. Tom also changed into sandals and a linen blouse, and spoke fluent Egyptian to get acquainted in the surrounding streets. The aristocrats in power did nothing, and with the help of magic, Tom naturally blended into the lives of the locals.

Two months later, Hai Erbo finally regained consciousness under his precise control, but the next course of treatment may last for a long time.

"Are you from Greece?"

Just as Tom was making medicine for Herbo, who had passed out again, a vulture flapped its wings and landed on his window. Tom turned around and saw a man with a bird's head standing outside the window and throwing a bird's-eye at him. Looking at it, his gaze swept across the simple furnishings in the house, and finally stopped on Haierbo who was wrapped in bandages.

Tom dropped the willow branch that was stirring the soup, stood up, and turned to look at the bird-head man outside the window.

"Animagus?"

"Are you a wizard?!"

The bird-headed man took two steps back vigilantly, but his vision blurred quickly, and his back hit Tom's chest. He reached out to touch the cane at his waist, but in the next second, a red light flashed, and after a while , Tom held a hairless vulture in his left hand, and dragged a strong Egyptian man into his temporary residence with his right hand.

The neighbors around didn't even notice what happened. The sun was in the west, and about half an hour later, the man with the bird's head stood outside the window of the earthen house again, looking at the back of Tom making medicine and asking, "You guys?" From Greece?"

"That's right," Tom stood up with a smile, and opened his hands to him. "Want to come in and sit down, Mister Wizard?"

"Oh," the bird-head man didn't know that he had asked the same question once before. He entered the earthen house at Tom's invitation, sat on the stool that Tom had just made in the same way with two bricks, and took the hand from Tom. He gave him some tea, and said, "There have been no Greeks here for a long time."

"I know, sir," said Tom, "that no one has been here in Greece for a long time."

This conversation can be called nonsense, but the two still chatted happily. After talking nonsense for a long time, the dazed bird-headed man finally regained his senses and returned to the purpose of his coming.

"Can you tell us what happened across the Mediterranean?"

"Sir," Tom's expression quickly became rich, he punched the table where the medicine jars were placed, and said in grief, "There is an evil wizard who is doing evil in the Balkan Peninsula, the dark cloud of black magic The sunshine has been taken away from us, the poor Greeks can only flee to the north, and my fleeing team and I were attacked by the sea, and we got separated from them, so we had to find a random boat to go out to sea, and escaped to the sea. here!"

Tom vividly narrated the tragedy of the peninsula and the evil of the dark wizard, and the expression of the bird head became more and more dignified. Their chat continued until the sun set. The bird head hurriedly left, but when he walked out When I opened the gate, I found that the street was already full of people kneeling to worship the gods.

Standing behind him, Tom silently watched the bird-headed preaching, and in the night, he noticed the blind woman kneeling and kowtowing under the guidance of an old fisherman.

He shook his head and closed the door, Hai Erbo's hoarse voice came from behind him.

"Evil wizards are doing evil in the Balkans, right... Karkaroff, you are a poor Greek."
