American comics: Launching a dimensional war at the beginning

Chapter 103 Muto Sugoroku pursuing the ultimate game, "The City of One Hundred Gates" and Ra's Sun City

In ancient Egypt, there was such a touching myth and legend.

A long time ago, Osiris, the son of the earth god Seb, was very capable and was once the king (Pharaoh) of Egypt.

He taught people to engage in agricultural production, such as farming, making bread, brewing wine, and mining, which brought happiness to people.

Therefore, people worshiped him very much, regarded him as the Nile God, and believed that people's life was given by Osiris.

He had a younger brother named Seth who had evil intentions and plotted to kill his brother and seize the throne.

One day, Seth invited his brother to have dinner with him and found many people to accompany him.

During the meal, Seth pointed to a beautiful coffin and said to everyone: "Whoever can lie in this box, give it to him."

With the encouragement of everyone, Osiris gave the interview in front of everyone. But as soon as he lay down in it, Seth closed the coffin, locked it, and threw him into the Nile.

After Osiris was killed, his wife the goddess Isis searched everywhere and finally recovered the body.

Unexpectedly, Seth soon found out about this. Seth ordered people to steal the body again in the middle of the night, cut the body into 48 pieces, and threw them in different places. Isis found the fragments of Osiris' body from various places and buried them on the spot.

Later, Horus, the posthumous son of Osiris, was born. He was very brave since he was a child. When he grew up, he defeated Seth, avenged his father, and inherited the throne of the world.

He dug out the fragments of his father's body from various places and pieced them together to make a mummy. And with God's help, he resurrected his father.

The resurrection of Osiris was not a resurrection in the human world, but a resurrection in the underworld by the gods.

In another world, he became the master, responsible for judging the dead and protecting the pharaohs on earth.

This myth began to spread among the people.

Later, the Pharaoh of Egypt heard it and used it to deceive the people, saying that the Pharaoh had the help of God, so he was a ruler while alive and a ruler after death.

Anyone who opposes Pharaoh will be punished while alive, and will not be able to successfully pass the judgment of Osiris in the underworld after death.

Since then, every Egyptian pharaoh has performed the myth of Osiris after his death to strengthen his dominance.

"Is this why the Pharaohs became mummies?"

Young Professor Elson Butt stood in front of the bookshelf in the library, looking at the mythical story about the Egyptian Pharaoh that he found in his hand, his eyes filled with pure curiosity and yearning.

Even though the British Empire at the beginning of the 20th century was no longer the empire on which the sun never set during Queen Victoria's time, the saying "Although the lion is old, its power still remains" cannot be used to describe the current situation of the British Empire.

Even if it is no longer as glorious as it was at its peak and has not experienced the brutal fighting of World War I, even if the British Empire has to deal with Germany's desperate pursuit, it is still the most powerful country in the world.

In the British Empire, the Bute family is also famous for being rich and powerful. Unfortunately, the Bute family has gone through ups and downs, and in the end they were engaged in "underground excavation and protection work."

Therefore, the Bute family is also looked down upon by other nobles. In the eyes of other nobles, engaging in such things that only local masters would do really brings shame to the nobles of the British Empire. Noble nobles like us are There should be a career for nobles. Wouldn't it be nice to lead the Qing Dynasty to free shopping for zero dollars, sit on the emperor's golden dragon chair, and sell longevity ointments and "gummy bears"? !

Young Elson Bute fell in love with cultural relics because of his family's occupation, and the cultural relics that attracted him most were those from the ancient Egyptian period. This also changed his subsequent life and made him the current Elson Bute. Special Professor.

Therefore, when Professor Elson Butt changed the direction of the family's business and handed over all the business to his son, he embarked on this potentially endless road without hesitation, as a dreamer. The man began this long and distant adventure.

"From that day on, I longed to one day find major discoveries about ancient Egyptian civilization, and to unearth a pharaoh's coffin with my own hands."

Professor Elson Butt thought of his experiences over the years. The past was like a blur in the past, but there were thousands of thoughts in his heart.

Professor Elson Butt, who had mixed feelings, told the man beside him about his experience, his eyes were hot, and he made no secret of his love for ancient Egyptian culture and his determination to discover the secrets of the Pharaoh.

"how about you?"

"Shuangliu, you should have your own reasons!"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have been risking life and death for so many years and persisted to this day without giving up!"

Professor Elson Bute looked at the man in front of him. He was filled with emotion when talking about the past, but this could not hide his curiosity about the man around him.

Although this man has a black and gold starfish head that makes people feel very inconsistent, there is a ruthlessness and persistence in this man's eyes that will not give up until he reaches his goal.

"GAME!"

"Professor Boot, just as you are constantly pursuing the secrets of ancient Egypt and the Pharaohs, I am also pursuing the ultimate game in the world."

"For so many years, I have traveled all over the world in pursuit of the most ultimate game in the world. The thrilling tension of wandering between life and death is exactly what I am pursuing."

"But whether it's blackjack, mahjong, Texas Hold'em, Russian roulette, or betting on bullets with a revolver. No matter how dangerous and difficult the games are, I will find a way to adapt to them."

"By this time, those thrilling games were no longer an adventure, they had become toys that I could play with."

"This disappoints me. I have traveled all over the world, conquered too many games, and completed many adventures. I am not trying to complete games that ordinary people can complete. What I pursue is the ultimate and difficult game. .”

Professor Elson Butt looked at the man in front of him who once swept London's casinos, the God of Gamblers who swept across the gambling world of the British Empire. It was obvious that this man from an Asian island country had earned money in just a few days that no one else could earn in a lifetime, but I actually felt deep disgust and unwillingness from what this man just said and what he said.

Professor Bute knew that this man, like himself, yearned for excitement and freedom. Some people were unable to submit to mediocrity and mediocrity. They had a drive and a will to keep moving forward in their bodies.

Onward, onward, until the end of this great adventure of life! ! !

"So, after hearing about the ultimate dark game spread in ancient Egypt, I rushed to Egypt non-stop to complete the legendary dark game."

Muto Shuangroku told Professor Elson Bute his purpose of coming to Egypt, and he constantly challenged his limits in order to complete the legendary dark game.

Wadiye may not have thought that all his long-term planning would eventually come to nothing.

Muto Shuangroku and Professor Elson Bute met in London and became good friends, and now they meet again in Egypt. With Muto Shuangroku joining them, the journey to the Valley of the Royal Family's Rest has already happened. wonderful changes.

From the moment Muto Sugoroku and Professor Elson Butt met again and the two of them went looking for treasure together in Egypt, the gears of the world's destiny began to turn again, history began to change crazily, and the timeline also changed. It turned into a twisted twist.

··············································· ······

During the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt in the mid-14th century BC, there was once a capital city unparalleled in the world in the middle reaches of the Nile River.

This is Thebes, which was called the "City of a Hundred Gates" by Homer, the great ancient Greek poet.

Luxor is located on the right bank of the Nile River, 700 kilometers south of Cairo. It is a historical ancient city in central and eastern Egypt and a famous tourist center.

It was the famous Thebes in ancient times - a capital city established during the Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom of ancient Egypt (2040 BC ~ 1071 BC). It has a history of more than 4,000 years.

According to historical records, Thebes at that time had hundreds of city gates, was densely populated, had vast buildings, and was extremely prosperous. It was the largest city in the world and was known as the "City of Hundred Gates."

Pharaohs of all ages built a large number of temples, palaces and tombs in Thebes, which were large in scale and exquisite in craftsmanship.

Nowadays, the ancient city of Thebes has long become history, and even though Egypt has been reduced to a semi-colony, the current city of Luxor is still a tourist attraction.

Sitting in the floor-to-ceiling windows of a hotel high above Luxor, you can see the Nile that divides the city in half.

Under the setting sun, the Nile River sparkles like an amber ribbon, meandering leisurely across the land.

The river water is clear and transparent, like a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and sunshine.

Covered by lush green trees on both sides, the Nile River looks like an emerald-colored jade belt. The beautiful scenery in front of you is refreshing and refreshing.

Muto Shuangroku and Professor Elson Bute ordered a plate of barbecue and were savoring it. While eating, they talked about this trip. After eating this dinner, the two of them were going to visit this ancient city. .

In this ancient city, there are traces of monuments everywhere, and each monument carries the vicissitudes of history. Standing on this ancient city wall, overlooking the surrounding monuments, it seems that you can hear the call of history.

The ancient temple has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, and the traces of vicissitudes are engraved on every stone, making people lament the ruthlessness of time.

In the setting sun, the ruins of the ancient city of Thebes were dyed crimson. The two people stood among the ruins of the ruins, staring at this once glorious city.

The ancient palace is now in dilapidated condition, but its former glory can still be seen.

Once the flames of war burned and corpses littered the fields, the utensils eventually turned into sand and dust, and even gold and swords were wrapped in the scabbard of time.

Time is the battlefield of souls, and the lost souls return to their ruins along the long river of time.

Everything that was once so brilliant will eventually become the ruins of today's dusk.

Although thousands of years have passed and most of the magnificent palaces and temples have become obsolete, from the remaining temple ruins, the tombs of emperors and nobles, and the tombs of nobles, we can still imagine the magnificent style of Thebes in its heyday.

"This ancient city has passed away for three thousand years, and everything is no longer as glorious as it used to be. But why is it that it has nothing to do with me, and why do I become so sentimental?"

The setting sun was as red as blood, reflecting Muto's eyes like fire. Suddenly, Muto Shuangliu knelt down on one knee and gently touched the Egyptian land with his hands. His hanging starfish hair covered his expression, and the expression on his face was inexplicably complicated.

Muto Shuangroku didn't know why there was a ray of crystal overflowing from the corner of his eyes!

However, Muto Shuangroku was really sad at this time. This kind of faint sadness was something he had never experienced in more than ten years of adventure. As soon as he set foot on the land of Egypt, he felt that the land was calling him.

Professor Elson Boot stood behind him, looking up silently at the ruins of Thebes, slightly pursed his lips, and was shocked by the historical ruins in front of him after all the changes.

At this moment, no one spoke here, and time seemed to stand still. The only sound that could be heard was the wind, and the breeze from the distance quietly blew the clothes of the two people.

On the third day, after a day of running around, the two of them finally returned to where they were.

After meeting Sugoroku Muto in Thebes, Professor Elson Bute once again returned to Cairo, the capital of Egypt.

Heliopolis, also known as the "City of the Sun", is one of the most important holy places in ancient Egypt.

Heliopolis (present-day Cairo, Egypt) was the most important city in ancient Egypt after Memphis and Thebes, and was the capital of the Thirteen Nomes of Lower Egypt.

Heliopolis is known as the "City of the Sun" and is also the legendary home of the gods in Egypt.

Legend has it that the earliest Egyptian mythology was created here, and the sun god Ra believed by the ancient Egyptians was born here.

In the former city of Heliopolis, there was a Sun Temple dedicated to the supreme god Ra of ancient Egypt.

Although the old city of Heliopolis no longer exists, the Temple of the Sun is still preserved.

There were three creation myths in ancient Egypt, and the Heliopolis creation myth was one of them.

The Heliopolis Theology refers to the mythological system with the sun god Ra as the highest god and nine gods (main gods) coexisting.

These nine main gods are the "nine pillar gods"!

Enneads include:

Sun God-Ra

God of wind and air-Shu

Goddess of Rain-Tefnut

God of Earth-Geb

Sky goddess - Nut

Pluto and God of Agriculture-Osiris

Goddess of life, magic and family-Isis

Set, God of Deserts and Storms

Guardian goddess of houses - Nephthys

"Why are there two statues of the Sun God here?"

In the solemn and majestic Temple of the Sun, the two statues are exactly the same. They are placed side by side at the highest point and look down at the people who come to worship.

Muto Shuangroku wore a cowboy hat on his head. He looked up at the statues of the two gods enshrined on the high altar and fell into an inexplicable trance.

Ever since he entered Cairo, Egypt, and came to the Temple of the Sun, the call in Muto Shuangroku's mind became more and more clear. It seemed that there was a young man who kept saying the name Simon.

But why does he feel so familiar with this name even though his name is not Simon?

"This! Shuangliu, the two gods above are the Sun God of Morning and the Sun God of Dusk."

"The two gods are the same existence but in different forms. When the two gods are together, they are the legendary sun god Ra."

Professor Elson Bute saw that Muto Sugoroku, who was visiting Egypt for the first time, was not familiar with the place, so he took the initiative and carefully explained the history of Heliopolis and their beliefs to Muto Sugoroku.

Legend has it that in ancient Egypt, two gods were seen returning to their birthplace as sun gods.

In the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, it was rumored that the Pharaoh who was supposed to believe in the god Amun received divine instructions and rebuilt the Sun Temple to worship the god Ra.

"It is said that there was an "unnamed Pharaoh" in the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. Legend has it that he was born with the blessing of the god Ra. This Pharaoh was a king blessed by the gods."

"Oh? The nameless Pharaoh? Does that mean he has no name?"

"Yes, this is also the puzzle I have been studying, Shuangliu, let me tell you..."

When talking about his major and hobbies, Professor Elson Butt couldn't help but start talking, talking endlessly about his research.

But what he didn't notice was that after hearing "The Nameless Pharaoh", Muto Shuangliu fell into a trance again, and his lips moved slightly and he didn't know what he was saying.
