[Mummy] Yellow sand fills the sky

For seven days, Imerton prayed peacefully in the temple for seven days, not for the Pharaoh, but for Kaia. After his monks brought the news that Kaya had left Upper Egypt, his heart was extremely peaceful.

He climbed up the high steps, stood at the highest point, stared at the dark crowd below, and the people below cheered deafeningly, "High Priest, High Priest..." He raised his head and chanted scriptures loudly, the sun was above his head shining brightly.After he finished his last sentence, he waved his hand, and a group of black scarabs rumbled below, and the crowd erupted in even bigger cheers.

Seti I stood in the temple, listening to the cheers of the people, looking at Imerton's tall and majestic figure, barely maintaining his smile, but his heart became more and more determined, Imerton, he can't let him continue.

Yasmin mixed in the crowd, looked at the high priest standing on the altar, extremely anxious, Kaya's words before dying kept ringing in her ears, telling Imerton..., alone, no one but him Don't believe it either.Seeing the figure of the high priest disappear, she hurried towards the direction of the temple.

As soon as she got near the temple, she saw the tight palace guards holding the temple. She could only temporarily suppress her anxiety, and hid aside, waiting for the opportunity to enter.

It was getting dark, finally, the pharaoh's convoy left the temple, but the monks came out, they wanted to close the gate of the temple, Yasmine wanted to rush out, but the pharaoh's convoy had not completely left, and now only Will be caught on the spot, she can only watch helplessly, watching the door that represents hope close in front of her.

Yasmin didn't want to give up, the pharaoh's eyeliner was everywhere, and if she waited another day, the greater the risk of her being discovered, the less hope she would have of seeing Imerton.Looking at the towering wall in front of her, Yasmin recalled in her heart what Kaya had told her jokingly about the key points of climbing over the temple wall.

She did as she did, first she found the back door, found a good distance nearby, ran desperately for a while, and when she was about to reach the wall, she kicked on the wall with one foot, and at the same time grabbed the upper part of the wall with all her strength.With her eyes closed, Yasmin ran hard for a long distance, she didn't know where she got a lot of strength, and she actually climbed up the wall with a kick.After that, she took a lot of effort to move her body onto the fence.

When her feet finally touched the ground, a male voice appeared next to her ears, "Don't move around, who are you, why did you break into the Temple of Amun in the middle of the night."

Looking up, three monks surrounded her tightly, and she shouted: "Get out of the way quickly, I have very important matters to find Lord Emerton, Miss Kaia ordered me to come."

The monks were visibly relaxed and looked at each other. The leader stepped forward and asked, "Miss Kaiya has left Upper Egypt. Where did you meet her? How can you prove that you knew her?"

Yasmin puffed up her chest, "I have been favored by her, and High Priest Imerton has seen me, so you will know it when you see him. I am just an ordinary woman, and I don't carry sharp weapons on me. How could it hurt the High Priest who possesses supreme divine power?"

"What are you doing here?" Emerton's majestic voice came, with a touch of harshness.

The monk turned around and lowered his head, and replied respectfully: "Honorable High Priest, we have found a suspicious woman here, and we are discussing whether we should let you know."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yasmin quickly dodged past the monks and came to Imerton, "High Priest, do you still remember me? It was you and Kaia who saved our family's life. I hope I can bring you some words. However, I hope that these words will not be known by a third person, and this is also her hope."

Imerton looked at her, vaguely recognized some traces on her face, and asked tentatively, "Asmin?"

A trace of excitement flashed across Yasmin's face, and she said gratefully, "I never thought that you would have some influence on me after only seeing you, the High Priest."

Since she was an acquaintance, the monks had no reason to stop her. Imerton led her into the interior of the temple, which belonged to his room, "No one will come here. You can say anything here."

Yasmin lowered her head, paused for a moment, and said, "High Priest, no matter what I say next, you must remain calm and ensure that these words will never be known by a third person, and the next actions must not let Outsiders know about it, but Priest Kaia repeatedly told him."

"Go ahead. I believe in Kaia." Imerton only said this, and the consciousness in it was self-evident.

Yasmin took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "Maybe what I said next will be hard for you to accept and painful, but I promise that everything I say is the truth, and I can swear to God Amon. Kaiya Priest, I have gone to meet the god Osiris." Yasmin finally said this.

Imerton grabbed her arm and kept saying, "Impossible..., Impossible..., I clearly, obviously..."

Imerton's hand was exerting force unconsciously, and Yasmin resisted moving. When his strength was a little weaker, Yasmin opened his hand and said word by word: "High Priest, please forgive me, No matter how much you don't believe it, Priest Kaia did pass away seven days ago, and I watched her exhaust her own life with my own eyes."

Emerton finally controlled his emotions, barely supporting himself not to fall, "That's what's wrong, it's impossible for my monks to betray me, and it's absolutely impossible for them to be against Kaia, that's Who can hide it from me for seven days. If..."

"High Priest, there is no if." Yasmin took a step forward, "I have been regretting it for the past seven days. If I can take the initiative to find the priest of Kaiya, or if I reach the oasis earlier, maybe Kaiya Priests can persist for a longer period of time. However, things have reached this point, and what we should do is to fulfill Priest Kaia's entrustment."

Imerton sensitively heard the meaning of her words, grabbed her shoulders, and asked, "What does she entrust to you, and where is the token?"

"Sure enough, your hearts are connected. Priest Kaia repeatedly told me that if you don't have a token, you won't fully believe me. High priest, even if it's for Priest Kaia, you should work hard to do your best as a high priest. Duty, otherwise, I don’t think Priest Kaia will feel at ease.”

As Yasmin spoke, she reached out her hand to her skirt, and Imerton immediately turned around, turning his back on her.Yasmin admired the High Priest even more, a noble, focused, and elegant nobleman, "High Priest, I took it out." Imerton waited for a moment before turning around.

Putting in Yasmin's palm is an exquisite necklace. The blue gem is as clear as the sky and as quiet as the water of the Nile River. On her body, but as soon as you touch it, you can find that she has a light that is more dazzling than gems, but it is always warm and soft.

Imerton looked at the necklace cherishingly. The workmanship was not complicated, and the only thing worthy of praise was the huge sapphire inlaid in the center.Imerton caressed it lightly, as if stroking Kaiya's face. After a long time, he sighed: "This is the most precious thing in Kaiya. It is her father, Hakim Visil. Made for her when she was born, this necklace cannot be taken off when she is not voluntary or when she dies. You see, its light is dimmed, which is why its owner has passed away."

Yasmin stood firmly in front of him and said, "High Priest, Priest Kaia wants me to tell you that death is only the beginning, and she has always regretted that she waited and did not grab your hand in time. The only thing I regret at the last moment is this one thing."

Emerton looked at her in disbelief, and asked: "She really said that." Seeing her affirmative eyes, the meaning was self-evident, he knelt down in front of the statue, and murmured: "Honorable God Amon, I deeply repent for my dissatisfaction and complaints. You have given me a chance, but I didn't realize it at all, and just let her go like this. God Amon, I beg you, Please don't take back your gift easily, I beseech you."

Yasmin felt a little sad, and couldn't hold back her tears. For the first time, she really felt that the High Priest was not just a high-ranking messenger of God, but a living person, a person with joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

She knelt beside him and said, "High Priest, there is one more sentence. I didn't understand what she meant, but Miss Kaiya repeatedly told me to tell you—don't cross the bottom line."

Imerton's pupils shrank rapidly, and his hands hidden under the wide sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.Everything was connected in series, everything that had puzzled him before became clear, Hakim Visil's sudden death from snake venom, Kaya's severance from him, Ansuna's appearance, and Kaya's death.Who can do all this easily, the result is self-evident.

He almost exhausted his entire life to restrain himself from cursing the Pharaoh, but he could only silently recite over and over again in his heart, Kaiya, Kaya, why, I know you want to protect me and let me Live on, walk in the sunshine as a high priest.However, how could I not avenge you.

Silence spread in the temple, Imerton's face became more and more serious, but Yasmin straightened his back. Finally, he spoke calmly and solemnly as he usually read scriptures: "Asmin, what do you believe in?" , will you follow me, for Kaia."
