Pharaoh

[Do you want to believe 'him'? 】

【…】

[Humans are despicable and cunning creatures. It is human nature to betray and deceive, and 'he' is no exception. 】【Worry. 】

[Except for me, anyone in this world will betray you, and so will 'he', one day...] [Shut up! 】

When the rays of the rising sun penetrated the cracks in the roof and fell on Diabondo's face, he suddenly opened his eyes, sat up on his back, and took a few deep breaths.

Pressing his right hand on his forehead, he frowned, as if he was thinking about something, the gray hair scattered around his cheeks cast a little gloom in his dark brown pupils.

Then, he suddenly remembered something, raised his head suddenly, and looked around.

This deserted small temple is not big, it looks extremely empty at first glance, and the ruins and broken tiles look very dilapidated.

Diabondo sat on the only stone platform that was relatively flat and clean in the temple. When his eyes swept across the empty temple, there was a trace of evil spirit in the depths of his eyes.

Did that guy... escape to inform?

The expression on Diabondo's face became more and more gloomy, and he stood up abruptly.

A soft light gray linen cloak fell from him and piled at his feet.Diabondo was startled, and subconsciously bent down to pick up the cloak.

The soft and warm touch on his fingers relieved the gloom in his eyes a little, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

Footsteps came from outside the door, from far to near, the dilapidated door was pushed open with a creak, Diabondo clenched the cloak in his hand and raised his head, he saw the young man who walked in as if stepping on the light of the morning sun. He smiled.

Sunlight poured in from behind the boy, instantly brightening up the deserted place.

It was as if the boy had brought light into this dark place.

Diabondo's fingers tightly gripping the clothes in his hand slowly relaxed.

Perhaps he didn't even realize that his tense body relaxed because of his heavy breath.

"Good morning, Dia."

The boy with violet pupils smiled at him, and passed the thing in his hand.

"Let's eat something first."

Diabondo took it subconsciously and glanced at it.

In the hand was a strangely shaped tender thing that seemed to be a tuber of a plant.

He looked at it carefully a few more times, and quickly recognized it.

So this is...

"I didn't find anything to eat around here either."

Yu Yu said, spreading his hands helplessly, "It's just that I heard that cactus tubers seem to be edible... Woo!"

Before he finished speaking, Diabondo suddenly grabbed his right hand and lifted it up. The tingling sensation caused by skin friction made him groan.

Diabondo looked at the hand that he grasped and raised forcefully.

It was a white porcelain-colored hand, not too big, but the fingers were slender and soft, without any calluses, obviously belonging to the pampered nobles who didn't need to work.

At this moment, the hand was covered with tiny scars, obviously caused by the thorns of the cactus.

The thief let out a moan that seemed to be contemptuous from the depth of his nose, and rudely threw away the hand he had grabbed.

His face looked unhappy, and his brows were furrowed.

"It's obvious that you are a waste who can't do anything, so don't do things that you can't do!"

He said, holding his head high and looking down at the other party from the corner of his eye, he seemed very disdainful.

"On the contrary, it will cause trouble for others."

You You tilted his head and glanced at him, and then at his own hand full of tiny scars.

Then, a bright smile appeared on that immature face.

"It's just a small injury so it's okay, Dia doesn't need to worry about me~~"

"Who's worried about you—"

"I'm worried because Dia was weak yesterday."

"Who are you calling weak! Who are you bastards!"

"But obviously I've worked hard to take care of you..."

"I won't be so downcast that I let a softie like you take care of me!"

After the last roar, seeing that the blinking Yuyu wanted to say something, Diabondo raised his hand and directly covered the cloak on his right hand over Yuyu.

"Wrap it up."

He directly blocked what the game wanted to say next.

"follow me."

"what?"

"I've been to this place before, and there should be a market town not far away, just go there to buy food."

"Have you any property to buy?"

Both of them are penniless now?

"Humph--"

The thief replied with a contemptuous snort.

Although it was not far away, it took me half a day to reach the small market that Diabondo mentioned by relying on my legs alone.

Because it is the only market town with a concentration of towns and villages within a radius of ten miles, although the buildings in the town are quite simple, people still come and go.

It was a small town, but it was full of people. Looking around, it was densely packed with people.

"It seems to coincide with the opening of the market once every ten days. There are a lot of people. You should pay attention to it."

Almost squeezing through the bustling crowd, Diabondo hesitated for a moment, then turned around impatiently.

"Forget it, grab me this time..."

The outstretched dark brown hand hung in the air, and even the corners of its owner's lips twitched slightly.

Where is that guy—? ! !

Because he was too short to see the front, he squeezed three times and two times and was squeezed away. He could only drift with the surging crowd. After finally squeezing out the terrifying crowd, the game took a few breaths.

He shrank in a remote place, looked at the still turbulent and terrifying crowd not far away, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.

Forget it, he'd better sit here and wait for Dia to come to him.

Thinking of this, he pulled the cloak that wrapped him, and accidentally pulled half of the hat that covered his head, and he quickly pulled it tightly to cover his face.

"Little brother, are you lost?"

Just as Yu Yu was trying to toss the cloak to wrap himself tightly, a slightly old voice suddenly sounded.

Yugi looked up in astonishment, looking through the gap in the cloak.

He saw an old man in his fifties standing in front of him. The old man's hair was already gray, and he wore a robe with a sense of high morals and prestige.

The wrinkled face looked kindly, smiling kindly at the game.

and many more……

I always feel... Is this sentence heard somewhere before? Has this happened somewhere before?

The familiarity of this strong reenactment of the scene made the corner of Yugi's lips twitch under the cloak.

Does he really look like a child and is he the kind of child who is easily abducted?Why are both of them coming at him?

He was still struggling, but he didn't notice that there was a glint of light in the eyes of the smiling old man. His seemingly thin but powerful hands had already reached out to him, intending to tear off the cloak covering his face.

The old man who had only vaguely looked at Yugi's side cheek just now made up his mind to see what happened.

Who is this boy and the wanted announcement issued by the palace——

In the next second, the old man's skinny hands froze in mid-air.

The cold feel of the thin blade against his throat made cold sweat drip down his brow.

"Go away, old bastard."

The person who was standing close behind him when he was completely unaware made a deep voice, and the undisguised aura in his words made his hands hanging in the air tremble.

Then, there was a sharp pain in his thigh like a broken bone.

The man kicked him so that he staggered back several steps, and managed to stand still.

He raised his head, and when he saw the side face of the boy who kicked him away and then ignored him and only focused on talking to You, his old face showed a look of horror mixed with astonishment.

"Di... Boss Diabondo!"

Diabondo, who was about to scold the game, narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at the corners of the old man's eyes with a dangerous look of evil spirit.

"Do you know this uncle?"

Diabondo glanced across the old man's face, showing a clear look.

"It's you... If you didn't die, then cherish your rotten life."

He said something indifferently, and stopped talking to the old man, grabbed the hand of the game, turned around and walked into a more remote alley.

Yu Yu looked back curiously at the old man who was sweating profusely, but was forcibly dragged forward, so he had to turn around and keep up with Diabondo.

"You know him?"

"Well, the former subordinate."

"what?"

"I used to form a group of thieves." Diabondo replied impatiently, "At first, I wanted to slowly develop it to cause some trouble for the Egyptian royal family. Later, when I was fighting a town, I was unlucky and bumped into the Pharaoh's royal army. Those useless wastes were all wiped out. It seems that the guy just got lucky and escaped."

"..."

"Speaking of which, it seems that some Egyptian king brother ran over there that attracted Wang Jun to follow him, 呿! As a result, the bandit group I built was wiped out. Aristocrats eat too much and have nothing to do!"

Punch down.

The thief boss was punched unpreparedly, and although it didn't hurt much, he was furious because he lost face.

"What are you doing?!"

"I'm sorry, but I was also one of the nobles in the village that you said had enough to eat and nothing to do."

Although the fierce Diya grabbed the clothes on his chest and picked up the game, he clenched his fists and replied with a smile on his face, "So I can't help it, so I want to help those whose homes have been destroyed by you." Someone beat you up."

"It's their own incompetence that didn't keep their homeland."

Diabondo stared at the game, his dark brown pupils looked extremely cold.

"Because I have suffered, so I want to see others like myself to balance my heart?"

You Yu raised his head, his smile gradually faded away.

"What a nasty character."

He said, without flinching, he looked at the pair of venomous snake-like cold eyes, and the eyes became more tenacious and sharp.

Diabondo looked at the game, a piercing icy smile gradually appeared on his face.

"What? You want to persuade me to give up my hatred?" He said in a mocking tone, "Good Egyptian nobleman, save yourself..."

"No, I never thought of persuading you to give up your hatred."

Yu Yu said that looking at Dia was very calm.

Instead, the thief who wanted to taunt the game severely showed a look of astonishment.

"The kind of things you have encountered in the past... If you can really give up your hatred of Pharaoh so easily, then you are really a heartless guy."

The game said, "So, if you want to hate the pharaohs or the royal family of Egypt, go ahead and hate it, it doesn't matter."

Violet pupils stared at Diabondo, his eyes were brighter and sharper than anything else, as if they had penetrated into the depths of the opponent's heart.

"But Dia, you have to wake up."

He said, "As long as I'm still by your side, I will never let you do things like before because of hatred!"

Diabondo didn't answer.

Yuyu's eyes are very bright, but the gray hair scattered on the cheeks in a wild posture casts an invisible shadow on Dia's face.

One could only see the lips tightly pursed, showing the extremely complicated mood of its owner at the moment.

After a while, the scar on Dia's cheek suddenly twisted slightly, and the thin, sharp lips raised abruptly.

"You are very kind. How dare you speak to my uncle like this."

Diabondo said, snorting through his nose, and let go of Yugi's chest clothes.

He curled his lips and changed the subject as if on purpose.

"It would be great if I could catch the king of Egypt in the town back then, so I can vent my anger no matter what."

You Yu was startled, looked at him, hesitated for a while, and finally opened his mouth cautiously.

"That... Dia."

"what?"

"Even if you hate the Pharaoh, that brother...hasn't done anything to you."

"Who let him be born in the royal family of Egypt! Once anyone who has anything to do with the royal family falls into the hands of my uncle... Humph!"

"But, Dia, I actually—"

Diabondo, who didn't hear the game's words, has already fallen into a state of extreme sneer with a ferocious face.

"First cut off the ears and tongue, then gouged out the eyes, cut open the stomach and dragged out the scene ●●, next ●●●, continue ●●, this is definitely not enough, there must be ●●●......"

"..."

"By the way, what did you want to say just now?"

"...I just wanted to ask, when are we going to go shopping."

The king of Egypt, who did not dare to say those words in the end, forced himself to answer calmly because it was too scary.

"Oh, you go back to that ruined temple by yourself first."

"Huh? But..."

"You will only get in the way if you follow me! I just saw at the city gate that your wanted notice has been posted here. If someone sees your face like just now, it will be troublesome. Go back to me immediately!"

"I see."

Yugi hesitated for a moment, then nodded obediently.

"If you are obedient, I will bring you back something fun and delicious."

"..."

You also treat me like a child, you bastard!

Seeing the angry Yugi turn around and leave the town, and his back disappeared from sight, Diabondo turned around and sneaked into the depths of the hidden and dark alley without a sound.

He avoided the crowd and sneaked in a remote place, and soon came to a corner in the outskirts of the town.

It had obviously been deserted for a long time, with vines and weeds everywhere, and gravel scattered all over the place.

Diabondo pulled out his dagger and cut off the thorny vines. He looked around vigilantly around no one, and quickly sneaked into the depths of the green forest full of vines.

Smashing a rock hidden deep in the thick blue vines, he reached out and took out a tightly wrapped bag from the cave.

Once opened, the dazzling golden light can almost blind people's eyes.

"Sure enough."

It was a sacrificial object that Diabondo sneaked into a nearby ancient pharaoh's tomb and hid here because it was inconvenient to carry. Now that he is penniless, he just took it out and sold it.

He took out those exquisite gold ornaments one by one to look at, and put them back into the bag, leaving only a bracelet and a headgear outside.Then, he threw the two gold ornaments back into the cave, buried them with gravel and soil, and covered them with vines to cover up the man-made traces.

There is an extremely small and illegible symbol mark in the hollow pattern gap of the unique gold jewelry belonging to the royal family.

Because of stealing royal tombs all the year round, Diabondo can tell.

To avoid trouble, he never sold specially marked ornaments that only the Egyptian royal family could wear, because that would attract the attention of the royal family.

After doing all this, Diabondo returned to the town with this bag of valuable stolen goods. He still avoided the lively crowd, made three turns, and turned into a sparsely populated street on the right corner of the town. I stepped into a dilapidated clay pottery shop with no customers.

A middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance was cleaning those worthless clay pottery. When he saw Diabondo coming in, he glanced out of the corner of his eye.

Diabondo snorted coldly, slammed the bag heavily on the table, raised his chin, and signaled the other party to deal with it quickly.

The thief, of course, knows where the stolen goods are sold, not to mention that he has been to this place several times and is quite familiar with it.

The big man smiled honestly, closed the store door and took Diabondo into the secret room next to him, the honest face was illuminated by the golden light in the opened bag, and his slender eyes suddenly showed Very shrewd.

After a while, he walked into another secret door next to him, and when he got out, he had a heavy red bag in his hand.

Diabondo tore open the small bag and looked at the number of gold nuggets that could be exchanged for goods in the market. He nodded in satisfaction, then took out a small gold nugget and threw it at the big man.

"Exchange some odds and ends for my uncle."

The big man caught it, and immediately exchanged it for a bag of low-value copper scraps that were also circulating in the market, and then rolled his eyes.

"Master Diabondo. I have some news here. I wonder if you are interested."

"what?"

Diabondo, who was thinking about what to buy back home, replied casually.

The big man looked around vigilantly, leaned over, and whispered in Diabondo's ear.

"It is said that in order to find his lost brother, the pharaoh has left the palace and came here."

The fingers that were fiddling with the number of gold nuggets in the bag froze, Diabondo raised his head suddenly, his dark brown pupils stared fiercely at the other party, and the sudden surge of sinister aura in his eyes made the big man momentarily Scalp tingling.

The big man swallowed his saliva, not daring to meet Diabondo's gaze, and opened his mouth cautiously.

"There is a force planning to ambush the Pharaoh, and wants to contact a powerful thief to poison the city where the Pharaoh passes by. Master Diabondo, do you think you are..."

The dark brown fingers clenched tightly, and the nails sank deeply into the palm.

Diabondo's face was cloudy and uncertain.

It's a rare opportunity to show Pharaoh a good look...

To poison the water source in the city, then the residents of the whole city will...

[As long as I'm still by your side, I will never let you do things like before because of hatred! 】 Diabondo stood up, his gray hair curled in the air.

"My uncle won't do it."

"Huh? The reward is very generous!"

"No matter how rich you are, you have to have your life to enjoy it." Diabondo glanced at the other party coldly, and threw the other party's indifferent back, "Pharaoh is not an easy guy to deal with, how could he be caught by that kind of casually?" Just get rid of the idiot forces that revealed the news of the ambush to the whole world."

-

In the dilapidated temple in the small semi-desert oasis, the game sits in front of a stone platform in the corner of the temple.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally took off a small bag tied around his waist and opened it.

A few small gold ornaments refracted bright light, Yuyou looked at them with a satisfied expression, tied up the small bag again, and tied it around his waist.

He took off these gold ornaments as early as after meeting Diabondo, but he kept them with him all the time.

The purpose is just to think that if there is no other way and no travel expenses, just melt them into gold nuggets and sell them for money!

Although the value of the melted jewelry will be much lower than the current exquisite jewelry, but considering the problem that Seth said that the royal family jewelry is not allowed to flow out, in order not to cause trouble for others, it is better to melt it...

He planned to do this today, but Dia said that there was a way to leave him alone, so he continued to put it on his body.

Just halfway through the game, suddenly footsteps came from outside, he subconsciously raised his head to look at the door, with a nervous look on his face.

Seeing the gray-haired boy striding across the threshold, he heaved a sigh of relief, and greeted him with a relaxed smile.

"Come back so early."

Game asked in a little surprise.

Because he just came back not long ago, he thought it would take a long time for Dia to come back.

To be honest, he was still a little worried and nervous when he was alone.

Diabondo didn't bother to answer, raised his right hand, and poked his thumb behind his shoulder over his shoulder.

Yu Yu looked back and saw a gray horse tied outside with snorting nose and carrying two big bags, and suddenly realized.

"Hand out."

"what?"

Even though he didn't understand what Dia was going to do, Yugi stretched out his hand obediently.

A few red and tender apples fell into his hands, Yu Yu was startled, and immediately showed a happy smile.

Holding a few apples in his arms, he lifted his feet and walked outside.

"where are you going?"

"Go wash it up and eat~~"

Tsk, if you can't just chew on it, the nobles just have a lot of troubles.

Diabondo thought so, with an impatient expression on his face, turned and walked into the house, when he suddenly heard a very light pop, he turned around, just in time to see Yuyu who ran out excitedly fell off his body. Come down with a small cloth bag.

"Hey, your—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the game had already ran out of the gate.

Diabondo frowned, stepped forward to pick up the small cloth bag, and tore it apart casually.

The bright golden light shone on his dark brown cheeks.

"By the way, this guy also... I knew I would have sold them together."

Diabondo took out the gold armband ornaments inside, and the sunlight coming in from outside the door refracted the golden light into his dark brown eyes, causing him to narrow his eyes slightly.

"Forget it, that guy will be angry."

He said, putting the armband back on.

Diabondo turned around, and a ray of sunlight leaking through the cracks in the roof happened to fall on his index finger pressed on the hollow pattern in the middle of the arm ring.

It flashed.

A tiny rune mark flickered in the corner of his eye as he casually glanced at it.

It made the dark brown pupils widen to the limit in an instant——

It was an inimitable runic mark peculiar to the gold ornaments only allowed to be worn by the royal family of Egypt.

【If you betray me, even if you hide in the Egyptian palace, I will let you die without a burial! 】
