Pharaoh

【Three days ago】

The mother river of Egypt flows slowly through the land of Egypt, and the blue waters of the Nile River flow into the Mediterranean Sea in the delta of Lower Egypt.

As the largest city in Egypt closest to the Mediterranean Sea, Avaris City was once regarded as the royal capital of Egypt by the foreign rulers who invaded Egypt.The Hyksos dynasty established by foreign rulers has been firmly in control of Lower Egypt until the great Pharaoh Ahmose led his troops northward to capture the city of Avallis and drive them out completely. out of Egypt.

So far, the city of Avaris, once occupied by foreign rulers, finally welcomed back its real king.

Although King Ahmose was a cruel and cruel king, he was not a thug. After recapturing Avaris, he only carried out a blood cleansing of the non-Egyptians in the city, and removed countless Wealth, but did not destroy the city.This city in an important traffic position on the sea only stayed silent for a while, and then quickly prospered again.

Therefore, although Avalis is no longer the capital of Egypt, it is still prosperous, and many luxurious and luxurious palace buildings are well preserved. They have become public places for the administrators of Lower Egypt to handle government affairs.

In the depths of a huge palace near the sea, there is an extremely secret room.It was buried deep in the ground, and the walls on all four sides were made of melted bronze. Except for a few finger-sized air vents specially dug out, there were no other gaps.

It is not so much a room as a prison built secretly by the foreign rulers of the time to hold important persons of unusually noble status.Because the entrance is extremely secret and buried deep underground, very few people know about it.

Also made of bronze, the cross-shaped shelf that is almost integrated with the wall is extremely old because of its age, but there is not much rust, but there are some dark black blood traces left after the prisoner was tortured. , looked a little scary.

Whether it is day or night, there is no sunlight in the cell buried deep in the ground.There is a dim light on the wall, which flickers occasionally.It's just that the light that was so weak that it was almost eerie, not only did not bring traces of light to this dark underground prison, but instead brought out the breathless gloomy oppression of the prison.

The prison was very quiet, only the shallow breathing of the only creature in the prison could be heard.

The iron cuffs engraved with gorgeous and mysterious charms that do not match its essence firmly locked the white wrist whose skin color was different from that of ordinary Egyptians. The young man imprisoned in this prison lowered his head, he His breathing was steady, and he seemed to be in a deep sleep.

The blond hair fell down, covering his cheeks but leaving the back of his neck exposed.

Because he hadn't seen the sun for many days, the skin on the back of his neck showed an unhealthy pale color.

Being alone and imprisoned in this kind of prison with an almost suffocating atmosphere, an ordinary person would completely collapse mentally within a few days.

However, although the blond boy was handcuffed to the wall, he stood with his head down and dozed off. Apart from his pale complexion, he showed no signs of discomfort at all.

Suddenly a golden light shot out from his chest, and the young man who seemed to be in a deep sleep suddenly opened his eyes.

The golden eye, one of the seven artifacts tied around his neck by a thin chain, suddenly floated in the air, and the golden light that bloomed illuminated the boy's face.

Looking at the glowing golden eyes, the young man frowned suddenly, and some image popped out of his mind suddenly.

The huge door of light slowly opened...

With the opening of the door, the light symbols of the Eye of Horus, which split in two, shone with dazzling light...

With a slight movement of the dark pupils, the scene that seemed to be forcibly passed into his mind suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the golden eyes floating in front of his eyes also fell down at once. , swinging in his chest, then fell silent.

Even though its owner was staring at it in bewilderment, it hung in mid-air and turned slowly under inertia, but there was no response anymore.

The blond boy pondered for a moment, closed his eyes, and a powerful magic power was brewing from inside his body, slowly gathering.

The complex pattern of charms on the iron cuffs that locked his hands suddenly flashed, and Arden felt a sharp pain in his head like a needle prick, and the gathered magic power dissipated like broken bubbles.

He lowered his head and gasped for breath, the tingling pain that almost paralyzed his limbs was still passing by in his mind.

really……

His magic power was completely sealed.

Click.

Arden's ears caught the slight sound keenly, and a sharp light flashed from those dark pupils.

He blinked to let the sharp and cold expression disappear from his eyes, and then he raised his head, with the same lazy expression on his handsome face, and looked at the opened door opposite.

A middle-aged man came in with several guards.

When the man walks, his body is straight and straight, his eyes are not squinted in front of him, and he naturally forms a lot of power.

There is a short but extremely deep scar at the corner of his eye, obviously this scar has been left on his face for a long time.But this scar not only did not destroy the man's handsome face, but gave it a mature and vicissitudes of life.

The blond boy glanced at him and suddenly laughed.

The last time we met, he was the master and the man was the servant.

At that time, the general who stood standing in front of a powerful enemy and refused to take a step back was so full of spirits, his brows and eyes were arrogant, and the light of the sun god Ra illuminated the man's bright eyes.

The man was very silent and would not say anything bold.He just gritted his teeth and nailed the enemy army several times larger than himself in front of him. When other Egyptian troops came to the rescue, there were only a few hundred soldiers left in his [-] soldiers.

At that time, the man was lying on the bed smiling at him, with blood oozing from the thick white bandage.

The man said, master, I didn't embarrass you.

This meeting, the man is the master and he is the prisoner.

This Egyptian army, who controlled most of the city of Avallis, was supposed to be a high-spirited Egyptian general, but he lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

The man who can talk and laugh freely even in the critical moment of life and death is frowning tightly at this moment, his expression is gloomy, which makes his scar look much uglier.

There was an indelible tiredness and a look of worry between his brows, which made him look a lot older.

All this couldn't help but make Yaden feel funny.

He was obviously the one who was betrayed by his servant and arrested, and he was thrown into this dark prison. Why does it seem that he, the servant who has gained glory and wealth, is the one who is tortured?

He smiled without hiding it, just staring at the Egyptian general with a heavy hand in his hand.

As a result, the man in a strong position avoided his gaze unnaturally, and his face turned pale.

The man was silent for a while, then raised his hand to let the two guards behind him exit the door.Arden raised his eyebrows, but didn't speak, just wanted to see what the servant who had betrayed him was up to now.

The man bowed his head and knelt down on one knee.

He knelt at the feet of his master who was handcuffed to the wall, sweat dripped from his forehead, and there was an unconcealable shame in his eyes.

"Owner……"

He murmured, and opened his lips clumsily to blurt out two words, but he was in a daze and couldn't speak anymore.

The man knelt on the ground and bowed his head in silence, but Yaden, who was handcuffed to the wall, smiled happily.

"Umos, I thought you had some promise, but in the end you're still a waste."

Arden said, still grinning happily, "It's all you can do to kneel down to your own prisoner."

He paused for a moment, with a thoughtful look on his face, "In this way, wouldn't it be more useless for you to trick me into it?"

Umos' shoulders trembled slightly, and his face turned pale.

"Master Adun, I..."

He lowered his head deeply, as if he didn't dare to lift it up at all. He pressed his right hand to the ground, clenched tightly, and his nails were deeply embedded in his palm.

"Sorry...I...I..."

He mumbled these words over and over again, but he couldn't say another word.

Umos was originally a loyal person to the Lord. If those people hadn't used that incident to coerce him, he would never have done such a shameful thing as betraying the Lord.

During this time, feelings of guilt, shame, anxiety, pain, etc. were pounding back and forth in his chest, almost driving him crazy.

At this moment, he didn't want to explain, nor did he want to make any excuses.

He betrayed the master he had sworn to serve with his life three years ago, and he was also the only flesh and blood left in the world of the previous master he had served.

This is a fact, indisputable.

At least, that person once promised that he would never threaten his master's life, this was his last limit.

Umos knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, then stood up. He lowered his head, still not daring to look at his master's face.He stretched out his hand, hesitant and trembling, and grabbed the golden eye on Adun's chest.

With a tug, the thin chain around Arden's neck snapped, and Golden Eye fell into his hands.

Umos took a breath and took a step back, still not daring to look up.

He turned around and left, wanting to escape from this prison that would almost suffocate him as soon as possible.

"Umos."

The sound from behind made his feet nailed to the ground, unable to move.

"As long as you do one thing for me, the relationship between you and my master and servant will be settled."

His dark pupils stared at the back of the tired-looking middle-aged general, his eyes as sharp as an unsheathed sword.

"Let Raz go."

Arden said, looking calm, "Since I must be imprisoned by that old man, at least let Raz go. He is just a small role, and he doesn't matter to you, does he?"

Umos remained silent and did not answer, nor did he turn around.

Yaden looked at his back and continued.

"If you are worried that he will go out and contact those who are still loyal to me, you just need to send a message saying that he betrayed me and stabbed me. Anyway, the old man just used the reason that I was seriously injured as an excuse An excuse to lock me up?"

"If you are still worried, why don't you just let those people hunt down the 'traitor' Razi? In this case, he will never have the opportunity to contact those who are loyal to me. But this must be in Egypt, as long as Lazi escape from Egypt, and you must never pursue him again."

"Raz is your most loyal subordinate, aren't you afraid that he will be killed?"

Umos was silent for a while, and finally spoke.

"Hmph, I gave him this opportunity to escape from Egypt. If he dies, it's his own incompetence."

Yaden snorted coldly, "Why, Umos, if you still recognize me as your master, then this is the last thing I will ask you to do."

"Anyway, I'm just your prisoner now, it's up to you whether you agree or not."

Umos fell silent again.

The hand at his side was clenched into a fist, tightly clenched.

Then, he stepped forward and opened the door.

He said, "...I asked Raz to see you one last time."

The door was closed, and after a while, it was opened again, and a young man with his hands tied behind his back was rudely pushed in.

Raz cast a bitter look at the traitor outside the door whom he wished to eat his flesh and blood, and struggled to stand up.

"Master Arden!"

He looked at the shackles that obviously had the seal symbol, his eyes almost burst into flames, and his face looked a little distorted.

Never had he seen his master suffer such insults!How dare those old men—

Compared to Raz who was gnashing his teeth, Arden's expression seemed very leisurely. He motioned Raz to come closer and told Umos about letting Raz out.

"Laz, you know what I mean, eh?~"

The tone of the last word "um" rose slightly, and Yaden's eyebrows and eyes also raised up, and the cold light in his eyes became sharper and sharper.

Raz nodded heavily, he knew what kind of dangerous situation he would face after going out.

He must take the place of Umos, the real traitor, to bear the crime of lord killing. Once he dies, this crime will never be cleared for the rest of his life.

"But Lord Arden, you stay here alone..."

"Don't be stupid at this time, can you still take care of me if you stay?"

Arden relentlessly fought back his servant's concerns.

"That old guy didn't dare to hurt me at all. He already knew the location of King Ahmose's tomb, and he expected me to lead him there."

He sneered in his heart.

It's a pity that what the old man wanted is long gone, it's already...

"Go to Thebes and find Pharaoh."

The Egyptian prince who flows from the blood of Egypt's most noble god said so, even in such a dark dungeon, his golden hair shines like the sun.

His eyes are like the rising sun in Egypt, bright and sharp enough to penetrate all darkness.

"The tomb of the great King Ahmose will never allow those lowly people to set foot!"

Those lowly and lowly sinners have no right to disturb the sleep of their great ancestors.

He would not allow it, and the Pharaohs of Egypt would never allow it.

So, maybe this will be the only time they'll ever team up with each other.

The author has something to say: Ahmose: Why do one or two only remember to dig my grave!

A certain author: Whoever told you to bury all the good treasures, whoever doesn’t dig your grave.

Umos, the general who led the Egyptian army to defeat the multinational coalition forces in the north, I later wrote in the article that he was loyal to Adun.
