Pharaoh

"His Royal Highness, this is a treasure left to you by your father, Lord Akhnadine."

The old men said so, and hung the chain of the golden ball engraved with the Eye of Horus around his neck.

One of the seven golden artifacts of Egypt, the Golden Eye.

"Please bear in mind the resentment that your noble father cannot forget even in the underworld."

"Lord Akhnadine was the prince most favored by the previous king. He should be the one who should inherit the Pharaoh's throne, but he was killed by his despicable brother Aknam Kano."

The old people instilled this awareness in him day after day.

"Your Highness Arden, what is sitting on the throne now is only the blood left by a despicable usurper. You are the pharaoh who is truly qualified to sit on the supreme throne!"

"Please remember the noble blood that flows from your body, and take back the throne that originally belonged to you on behalf of your father who died with hatred!"

Ever since Arden could remember, he had always been chanted similar words by those old men.

In front of the old man, he would naturally properly show the lofty ambition of a vengeful prince who wanted to avenge his father, so that the group of old guys would relax their vigilance against him.

In fact, he dismissed such words from the bottom of his heart.

Winner takes all, loser for Kou.

His father, Akhnadine, lost to his younger brother Aknamkano in the battle for the throne. King Aknamkano killed several of his own brothers and successfully ascended to the throne of Egypt. That's it. Simple.

The so-called despicable usurpers are nothing more than the private slander of the winner by the unwilling loser.

Arden didn't believe how loyal the group of old guys who claimed to be his father's loyal subordinates could be to him, but now this huge force against the current Pharaoh was once established in the name of his father Yes, so they can only continue to carry out their loyalty to their father on the surface.

Now, under his banner.

To put it simply, those old men were just using him and his noble status as a tool to gather people's hearts, and they were just reluctant to part with the enormous power in their hands.

Otherwise, why would they wait until they turned 15 three years ago before taking themselves over and telling him about their father, because they were afraid that they would take away the rights that originally belonged to them?

He was an illegitimate child, so he was able to survive the tragedy when King Kano of Aknam brutally killed all his father's blood.

The huge power left to him by his father, Akhnadine, was gradually eroded by him in three years.

On the surface, it seems that this power is still controlled by those few old men who are dying, but they have quietly changed masters where the group of old men with dizzy eyes can't see.

In other words, from the very beginning, Yaden never regarded these corrupt and arrogant old men as opponents.

He actually doesn't have much impression of his father, so he doesn't have much resentment towards the current Pharaoh.

However, even if he did not inherit his father's hatred for the current Pharaoh, he is not a guy who is willing to be mediocre. He has the pride and arrogance inherited from the Egyptian royal family engraved in his bones. What he longs for is a life full of passion and challenges.

In his opinion, since he is also of the blood of the Egyptian royal family, since he has the qualifications...

Adun, god of the morning sun.

Atum, God of the Sunset.

Perhaps their names determine the uncompromising confrontation between each other.

The young pharaoh who was said to be the same year, the same month, the same day and even born at the same time as him, who flowed with the blood of the same noble god, was the only one who was qualified to be his opponent.

-

Very similar.

It doesn't seem like it.

This was Yaden's first reaction when he saw the younger brother who was said to be very favored by the Pharaoh for the first time.

At that time, the young Wang Di was lying in front of him, and was drugged by his subordinates so he fell asleep all the time.

That immature face was indeed very similar to that of the young pharaoh, but strangely, it looked much cuter.

Looking at his sleeping face, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch the porcelain-white complexion that was similar to his. He just wanted to pinch it, but the soft and comfortable feel made him touch it again.

Pharaoh's younger brother, then his cousin.

Although he didn't care about the so-called family relationship, but for some reason, he did have a good impression of his lovely cousin at the first sight.

Maybe it's because his cousin has half the blood of a foreign country like him, or maybe it's because this cousin looks like a harmless child, making him feel that it shouldn't be a big deal if Wang Di lives...

Regardless of the reason, it was precisely because of this goodwill that he changed his original plan to use the body of the king's brother to attract the attention of the Pharaoh.

It doesn't matter anyway, after all, his target is the Pharaoh.

However, in order to protect the pharaoh, the action of the younger brother directly grabbing the stabbed dagger made him feel a little surprised.

When he saw that the guard pawn lying in ambush beside the Pharaoh was killed by the Pharaoh, he pondered for a moment, then raised the crossbow in his hand and pointed it at the younger brother who was standing up staggeringly on the edge of the cliff. go.

However, that was just a trial.

He didn't aim at Wangdi's vital point, the arrow would just pass by Wangdi's ear.

Although he also felt very strange, but he didn't want to hurt his cousin.

If you don't want to, don't do it well.

Yaden will never do things against his own will.

When the matter developed to the point where Brother Wang suddenly summoned a chestnut ball to protect the pharaoh, he who had been watching everything in the dark just smiled and gave his confidants the signal to retreat.

He would not feel sorry for this opportunity, because he never thought that the crude method of using the king's brother as bait could really kill the young Pharaoh.

If that person was killed by him so easily, how could he take him seriously.

But it is undeniable that he is really interested in the younger brother who desperately wants to protect the young king.

The blood of King Aknam Kano, who could brutally kill all his brothers, flowed from the younger brother's body, but he was completely different from him.There is also the behavior of the young king, who also shed the blood of King Aknam Kano, in all kinds of favors towards his younger brother...Compared to their father king, this cannot but be said to be a miracle.

The second sudden encounter on the street made Yaden also very surprised.

When Wang Di said he was familiar with him, he was taken aback, but thinking that Wang Di was absolutely in a coma at that time and could never have seen him, he calmed down again.

Perhaps this younger brother is just keenly aware of the closeness in blood relationship.

But to be honest, he liked the closeness.

"The previous pharaoh was not an only son, he had three brothers. He killed his three brothers, and then he became pharaoh."

"How do you think you would be treated if you were in the era of the last Pharaoh?"

Perhaps out of emotion for a moment, he said such words to Wang Di.

Looking at the dejected little prince, he couldn't help but patted the other's head.

Well, it was soft and comfortable, so he touched it again.

At that time, Wang Di looked up at him with big violet eyes and smiled at him, and when he looked at the immature white face, he not only remembered the soft and comfortable touch on his fingers last time.

By the time he realized it, his lips were already on his cousin's soft cheek.

Now that it was all like this, he kissed unceremoniously—what's wrong with my cousin wanting to kiss his lovely cousin, can't he?

Next time we see each other, let's kiss each other again.

He easily dodged the sword from the black-haired guard, he thought.

It's just that he didn't expect at that time that that time was actually the last time he saw his cousin.

He scoffed at the news announced in the palace that his younger brother had been cursed to assassinate the Pharaoh, and finally died of being corrupted by the curse.

【That guy is really a Pharaoh with the blood of King Aknam Kano. ] This was his only thought at the time.

Although he had only met Wangdi twice, he didn't think that he would grab the blade that stabbed at the Pharaoh with his hands, that he was desperately trying to protect the Pharaoh even though he was extremely scared, and that he would be distressed because of the quarrel with the Pharaoh. His younger brother would do something like assassinate the Pharaoh.

"His Royal Highness, is there anything bothering you? You don't seem to be in a good mood recently."

"Have it?"

He felt that he was not much different from usual.

"No... I'm overthinking..."

From the corner of his eyes, the attendant looked at the guards on the training ground who fell all over the ground because of the fight with His Highness Arden, and answered his master's rhetorical question in a low voice and cautiously.

Humph

It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable.

Maybe it was because of the initial discomfort.

Although he was displeased at the fact that the guard of the king's brother was lurking beside him with ulterior motives, Yaden, who vaguely sensed what Chestnut Ball was going to do, finally chose to help Chestnut Ball.

reason?

He is willing, do you need any other reasons?

At this moment, standing in the mausoleum of the great King Ahmose, the air current rising from nowhere made the corners of everyone's clothes fly up.

The hair refracting the golden light passed the corners of the eyes, and Arden's dark pupils stared at the strange stone plate suspended in the air that bloomed with golden light.

He looked at the talisman of life embossed on the slate, and the name of the slate that was forced into his mind with the golden light shining on him made his heart move.

【Dead Su Sheng】

The purpose of the servants and monsters of the king of Egypt to find this mysterious stone tablet is really...

Yaden was still thinking about it, and suddenly felt something shaking in his chest.

Before he had time to look down, the golden eye hanging on the chain around his neck suddenly floated out of his clothes. It seemed to echo the mysterious slate formed by the radiance of pure gold in the sky, Suspended in front of Adun's eyes with light.

Then, the Golden Eye, one of the seven golden artifacts, suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, shooting straight into the center of the mysterious stone slab.

Arden looked at his golden eyes in surprise, and suddenly felt something fluffy rub against his cheek.

Looking up, he saw Li Ziqiu's big eyes bent into crescent-like arcs, and he nodded happily to him.

On its small paws, it held a very thin light golden hair.

Then, it turned around and followed the golden light that the golden eyes shot at the mysterious slate and flew towards the slate rapidly.At the moment when the golden eyes dimmed as if exhausted, the chestnut ball plunged into the brilliance of the mysterious stone slab depicting the most worshiped talisman of life in Egypt.

The shining golden slate paused for a moment, and suddenly shattered into pieces.

The pure golden stone wall shattered into countless light spots, filling the sky above this huge room.

Only the perfectly round turquoise gemstone in the shape of the Talisman of Life is still suspended in the air, shining with the light as clear as the Nile River.

Soon, the countless light spots in the room gathered rapidly as if they were directed by someone.

They vaguely gathered into a human form in the dazzling light.

Then, the light faded away little by little.

The source of light gradually faded from the hands, feet, and head, and finally concentrated on the chest of the boy who was born from the light.

The young man born from the radiance closed his eyes and seemed to be in a deep sleep. The skin of the naked newborn body was so white and tender that it seemed to be able to see through the light, and it was flawlessly beautiful.

It was completely created by the power of the gods preserved in the life slate, a body that was exactly the same as the golden-haired owner.

Or rather, just the flesh.

At this moment, the talisman of life in the azure blue gem finally moved.

It slowly flew down towards the boy who was lying flat and suspended in the air. During the process of falling, it became smaller and smaller. When it reached the side of the sleeping boy, it had already become the size of a human eye.

The blue talisman of life gem fell down and melted on the boy's chest between his collarbones.

It was like imprinting a dark blue mark on the boy's chest.

Suddenly, a blue light shot straight up into the sky——

In the sky above the boy's body, a huge dark hole slowly opened, and the dark light that was enough to rival the bright light came out from inside.

The gloom in it makes even people under the warm light of the life slate can't help shivering from the bottom of their hearts.

That is the breath of death from the depths of the underworld...

That azure blue beam shot straight in from the black hole suspended above.

Soon, the light beam suddenly became thicker, and a transparent figure fell from the black hole at some point.

That transparent soul seemed to be dragged by this azure blue beam, and pulled out little by little from the black hole that spread the thick breath of death in the underworld.

The face of that transparent soul has exactly the same face as the boy below.

He also closed his eyes and seemed to be in a deep sleep.

The blue beam of light pulled the chest of the boy below, and connected to the chest of the transparent soul at the other end.

The light beam shortened little by little, as if it was trying to pull the soul brought out from the underworld above into the boy's body.

However, countless black shadows suddenly spread out from the dark black hole above, they turned into the shape of countless long hands, stretched down, and grabbed the sleeping Wangdi's clear soul one after another.

They entangled him, trying to catch him back and bring him back to the underworld.

The blue beam of light shot out from the brand of the Talisman of Life on the boy's chest did not continue to shorten, and the boy's soul stayed in midair.

The beam of light looked like it was trying its best to hold off against the dark shadows who wanted to capture the boy's soul back.

Perhaps it was not enough power, the light beam was stretched a little bit.

The soul of the sleeping brother Wang was grabbed back bit by bit by the countless black hand shadows extending from the black hole.

Adun, who had been watching all this wonderful thing without blinking, took a step forward, and subconsciously held the golden eye that had fallen back to his chest.

It lay quietly on his chest without any response.

Isn't a golden artifact powerful enough?

Yaden frowned, he was thinking about countermeasures quickly in his mind, and there was a faint look of nervousness in his pupils.

A thick and long black figure suddenly slid out of the dark black hole.

The way it glides is a graceful and graceful posture that only snakes have.

Although it was only a black shadow, the unique shape made it easy to recognize that it was the shadow of a huge cobra.

It slid around the mouth of the black hole, and suddenly turned into the form of a young man.

Although it looked like a dark black shadow that made his appearance unclear, but when he opened his eyes, those round ruby-like pupils were extremely conspicuous.

The red-eyed black boy flew downwards, and he stretched out his arms to embrace Brother Wang's clear soul.

The moment he hugged Wang Di's soul, the countless black hand shadows holding Wang Di shrank back one after another as if they were afraid.

But they seemed to be very unwilling, still stretching their teeth and claws around, trying to grab Wangdi's soul back.

The youth who was as dark as a shadow looked at them with round pupils like gorgeous rubies, and there was a cold look in his eyes that was more than the dead air of the underworld permeating from the black hole.

The countless ghastly black hands paused for a second, then shrank back in fear.

It wasn't until the black shadows shrank back with cold eyes that the ruby-like pupils of the shadow boy lowered and landed on the soul of Wangdi who was still peacefully sleeping in his arms with his eyes closed.

[I will remember you until I die too. 】

You promised me.

So not yet, I want you to live.

It was a huge and magnificent palace made entirely of pure gold.

Above is a dark black hole that seems to distort the space, and the gloomy breath of death in the underworld permeates the roof.

Below is a round golden circle of light that shines like life, and the sleeping Wangdi's newborn body is suspended above the golden circle of light.

In the middle, a boy transformed from a black cobra slowly landed holding Wang Di's clear soul.

The azure light beam is shortening the distance between the body and the soul little by little——

When Wang Di's transparent soul merged into that newborn body, the imprint of the Talisman of Life branded on his chest flickered, then fell silent.

The porcelain-colored fingers floating by his side moved slightly.

The shadow-like young man turned into the form of a black cobra in an instant, those ruby-like round pupils looked at the young Wangdi with a little bit of dissatisfaction.

It raised its tail, and lightly slapped the Egyptian prince a few times, who was still asleep.

Then, its long snake body moved slightly, and it slid back into the dark black hole in an extremely graceful posture in the blink of an eye.

It slides in a little, and the black hole shrinks a little.

As the last bit of its figure disappeared into the black hole, the black hole that was so dark that it seemed to distort the space was finally completely sealed.

At the same time, the golden circle of light supporting the young prince immediately below the black hole also disappeared in an instant as if he had lost his rival.

The young Wangdi fell from the sky.

Wangdi, who was completely reborn in the brilliance, fell into the strong arms with the same white complexion as him, and Yuyu's head was slightly tilted, leaning against the chest of the person who was holding his body.

Arden's dark pupils stared at the familiar face with a child-like immature look in his arms. At this moment, that face was serene and calm.

Then, his gaze gradually moved down from the face of the person in his arms to his chest.

Leaning in his arms, it was as if the king of Egypt, who knew nothing about everything, was breathing very lightly and rhythmically.

On the slightly undulating chest naked, the brand of the golden Talisman of Life between the collarbones is extremely dazzling.

That is a brand that can never disappear.

The author has something to say: Because it is New Year's Day, let's update it again in response to the call.

Happy New Years Eve everyone.
