Double Moon [-] Shakou Arnobi Ruins

The wind of the desert blows through this barren land, and there are very few stone statues still standing on this land flooded by yellow sand. The stone pillars that once supported the bustling palace are inclined to fall to the ground. Through the outline of the ruins, Noah can still recall the original appearance of "Golden Country" Arnobi.

The tombs of the royal family and priests have always been built here in Shakou, and the Golden Township is just a name given by later tomb robbers. Because there are rich people's tombs, there are funerary objects, so many tomb robbers are famous. After the baptism of the years and the changeable weather in the desert, today's Arnobi is just a ghostly empty city, or it is not a city at all, but a ruin. It is hard to say whether the grave can be dug again.

Noah knew this place very well—thanks to Jeno’s memory, Jeno led the rebel army to dig the king’s tomb in Arnobi to steal funerary objects and sell them on the black market, and then used the money he got to buy weapons.

Noah thought it was ridiculous when he recalled how he was leading the rebel army at that time. Obviously there were only a few teams and the equipment was not well-equipped, but he wanted to overthrow the royal rule of Shakou since ancient times.

The wind blew again, and the end of the white turban he was wearing fluttered, making it a little cool.Only then did he notice a slight rustling sound in his ear, and just as he was about to turn around, he saw a dagger pressed against his neck, "It's you."

Amir stared at the man in front of him without saying a word, trying to find more opportunities to bring back his memories, but it was difficult.He tried hard to recall, but he could only think of the man with long black hair, brown eyes and wearing a linen robe in his mind, but he had never seen this western boy in front of him.

"Did the Knicks send you to kill me? Amir, if you still have a memory, you know that this is impossible. It was impossible in the past, and it will be impossible in the future." Noah's tone was firm and tough.

Indeed, Amir had never defeated Geno before, and a few times he had to force a tie because of his release of water.

"It's different now." Noah turned his head completely, only to see Amir's red and black eyes instantly, more like a demon than him, probably because Nix did something to him.

"[They used to call you 'The Nightmare of the Desert', and it really is a suitable title for you.] Noah said in Gusha's colloquial language, and turned around trying to get out of his control. Amir slashed across his neck without hesitation, turning into a Sand chased him.

Noah tries to control Amir with his powers, but finds it's impossible anyway.

"You have really become stronger, so strong that you are out of my control."

"Don't forget where you are." Only then did Noah realize that he was in the desert, and this place was completely Amir's home field. Even if he was the leader of the seven deadly sins, it would probably be a tough battle for him.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm the one you swore to be loyal to for the rest of your life." Noah said so, and Amir realized that a lot of blood flowed from the wound on his neck, and he panicked for a moment, and Noah Ya himself didn't care, the blood seemed to return to the wound consciously under his control, and then the original rift seemed to recover quickly.At first glance, it is completely recovered, but if you look closely, there are still faint traces, but the treatment with Noah's ability cannot fully recover, but it is possible to keep the wound out of the way.

"The sand is most afraid of water." Noah said softly, and the next moment Amir felt a pain in his body, a fishy smell welled up in his throat, and then he couldn't help but leaned over and opened his mouth to spit it out. Full of astonishment, the blood soaked the sand, and the blood-stained part of his body could not be turned into sand.

Noah doesn't want to hurt Amir, but he has to be reminded of himself.

Amir was even more excited because of this, and he only wanted to defeat the powerful opponent in front of him. While raising his dagger, he rushed towards Noah with the speed of the wind and sand, and at the same time aroused a sandstorm behind Noah.

Noah only cared about dodging Amir's fast back and forth dagger, he didn't want to control him by taking Amir's blood, which would only make him more painful.

Besides, he believed that Amir was not much of a threat to him.

Amir, who had already lost control of his emotions, forgot to control the sandstorm at this time. The two people who were fighting close to each other ignored the growing sandstorm, and finally opened their bloody mouth and swallowed them into the yellow sand.

After waking up again, Noah only felt that he had choked on a mouthful of sand, so he used his ability to clean up and stood up. There was darkness in front of him, and he only knew that the ground was covered with yellow sand. He took a few steps forward, and suddenly a bright light made him He closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the not-so-spacious passage in his field of vision. The candlesticks on the walls on both sides of the corridor were burning with fire—it was just blue-green, a bit eerie.

The ground was covered with yellow sand, mixed with some blood, probably left by Amir.It seems he has left here.

Noah raised his head. The ceiling above his head was made of rock. It seemed difficult to move away. It seemed that he was swept to an unknown place by a sandstorm. If he used his ability to sense it a little, he was probably in the ground, still far away from the ground. It must have just happened to be swept into the hidden underground space of the desert.

It is more likely that this is the grave.He walked along the aisle thinking like this, there was always a faint fragrance in his nose, but he didn't take it to heart.

At the end of the passage is a hall, in the middle is a stone gate inlaid with gold and gemstones, and on the left and right are statues of the god of death and the sun god, as the pattern of the stone pillars.This is very similar to a temple, but the golden lion head pattern on the doorknob reminded him of the owner here, one of the tyrants of Shakou—Meochtra I, who is known to all Shakou people Crazy, an ancient existence before the beginning of the Double Moon Era, the cause of death is unknown, only known to be an untimely death, and it can be regarded as a due end

Didn't expect to happen to be here.

There are two rooms on both sides of the hall, probably for the funeral objects and people who were buried with him. He has no interest in this, and I believe Amir will not care about this little treasure.

So he stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, but after stepping into the main door, he had a strange feeling—he couldn't use his abilities anymore.

He left the door, but still couldn't use the ability.After thinking for a while, he came to a conclusion, probably because of the faint fragrance, which made him unable to use his ability, and I believe Amir was the same.The scent comes from the room behind this door, Amir is probably inside, look for the source of the scent.This time, Noah didn't hesitate, and directly stepped into the door that had only been opened for the second time.

Little did he know that he had disturbed the consequences of the tomb owner's thousand-year long sleep.
