The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]

Fujimaru Tachika and his party inexplicably cut off contact with Chaldea, and even more confused came to a completely strange place.

There was no way. In order to find a way out, they walked forward with difficulty with the seriously injured heroic spirit who signed a temporary contract. After a while, they reached the town that Matthew mentioned.

"........."

Fujimaru Tachika: "Wait, something feels wrong!"

First of all, the town that several people saw seemed strange in itself.

The coordinates of the sixth singularity are Jerusalem, but among other things, the architectural style here does not match the legendary holy city Jerusalem, and it seems to be similar to the holy city occupied by the Lion King.

Secondly, about the style that can be recalled suddenly after watching it for a few times...

"Could it be that we were thrown into the territory of the Pharaoh?"

Before going to the holy city, the Chaldeans accidentally ran into a female pharaoh. Under her leadership, they met Pharaoh Ramses II who should not have appeared in Jerusalem.

Ramses II was summoned in Jerusalem as a heroic spirit, and at the same time he brought the entire ancient Egyptian kingdom.

The country far away was transferred to this land, which accelerated the process of disintegration of the already distorted singularity.

The first meeting with the Pharaoh didn't yield any obvious results, and Fujimaru Tachika didn't expect to come again so soon—no, they were brought directly to the Pharaoh's temple by Nitocris before, and they never went outside the temple ancient egyptian town.

But this situation can be seen at a glance.

Several pyramids stand behind the town, and you can see the tips of the pyramids when you look up.

The civilians in the city I saw so far were dressed in cool clothes. The men only wore white cloth around their waists, while the women wore long linen skirts. Their attire was typical of ancient Egypt.

"Well, it's that pharaoh's territory, it's better than being thrown into the enemy's stronghold."

Da Vinci thought about it: "There is no conflict of interest between us. If we have a good talk with that king, we should be able to persuade him to send us away—probably?"

The question is not whether they can leave, but that once they step into the apprentices of ancient Egypt, they will definitely be discovered by the pharaoh, and they will not be able to hide them even if they want to.

Ramses II is a famous king in history, and it is basic to be difficult to get along with. If you want to leave without saying hello when you come in, you don't need to think about it, and you will definitely offend him.

"Well, in fact, the most important thing is to see if I can ask Pharaoh for help and save this..."

Even the Almighty can't do anything about the injury of the unknown heroic spirit.

Fujimaru Tatsuka made a contract with him to provide him with magic power, but the effect was only temporary, and the spirit foundation might be completely broken at some point, and only the nearest Pharaoh could help.

But being able to help is one thing, and whether the pharaoh is willing to help is another.

The master boy thought optimistically, no matter whether it can be done or not, he must try it first.

So, no matter that much.

As soon as the group came to the gate of the town cautiously, they were discovered by the guards in front of the gate.

"Who are you guys! Stop."

The guards found these three sneaky and strangely dressed people, so they immediately stopped them and led them forward.

"Ah, I'm sorry, we are foreigners who accidentally got lost in the desert." Fujimaru Tatsuka hurriedly explained, using this statement is not considered a lie.

After some negotiations, the guard saw that one of the three of them was a woman (on the surface), and the other two were young boys and girls, not dressed like the mountain people of other races, and they looked dusty and dusty, with sand grains all over their bodies , but not too vigilant.

only--

"Wait a moment."

"Remove this cloth on your back."

The guard suddenly spoke, causing Fujimaru Tatsuka and the others to pause.

There was nothing that should not be seen by others, but after the boy carried the heroic spirit on his back, he was afraid of being burned by the scorching sun, so he covered the heroic spirit with a long cloth.

But for some reason, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in Fujimaru Tachika's heart.

He said that he was carrying an injured person on his back, and he was eager to find a doctor for treatment. He exchanged glances with Matthew and Da Vinci, and was ready to run away at any time.

As expected, the group of them behaved strangely, even if they brought a patient who could not see the light, the guards were aroused suspicion, so they had to take off the long cloth to take a look.

"But he can't bask in—"

"Stop talking nonsense, get out of the way!"

In the process of entanglement, the guard's hand fell on the long cloth that vaguely revealed the human figure, and his eyes had already noticed that the surface of the cloth was oozing bright blood, and the blood color was still deepening.

brush!

He quickly grabbed one side of the long cloth and jerked it down.Fujimaru Tachika didn't have time to stop it, so the cloth covering the heroic spirit's head could only be torn off, and at the same time there was a ding-dong crisp sound.

The sound came from the guard's men.

The unceremonious grabbing just now involved not only the blood-stained long cloth, but also the bead chain hair ornament that was tightly attached to the heroic spirit's hair.

"Whoa."

The gold thread hanging by this person's ear was torn off, the blood-stained tassels fell, and the sapphire, which was especially dazzling under the sun, splashed on the ground, making such a crisp sound.

The guard was stunned.

Fujimaru Tatsuka and the others were stunned.

Even the civilians who noticed the commotion in the city and quietly came over to watch the excitement were stunned.

No—no, wait.

This is different!

Fujimaru Tachika and the others were stunned because they felt that something was wrong and they had to find a way to escape.

But the rest of the people including the guards were all stunned in place, because...

"Yes, yes, yes yes yes yes—"

"It's Tahir... No, he is no longer the high priest!"

"Come on, catch the sinner Tahir and send it to the king!"

With this voice shouting, Fujimaru Tachika and the others were stunned again.

Under what circumstances, the target suddenly shifted from them to the unknown heroic spirit, and it was still full of hatred in an instant.

The guards, who were not so fierce before, suddenly became ferocious, and they were no longer polite. They all rushed towards the bewildered Chaldean trio, trying to capture them in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, Fujimaru Tachika reacted quickly enough: "Mash! Cover us to..."

"stop!!!"

The roar that seemed to overwhelm the mountains and seas overwhelmed everyone's shouts.

An unexpected development occurred.

All of a sudden, a group of people came out of the city—strangely, almost all of them were women—regardless of 21 or [-], they immediately opened up the guards who wanted to arrest "foreigners" and "sinners".

Fujimaru Tachika and the others were stunned when a middle-aged woman who rushed to the front grabbed her arm and dragged her directly into the city.

Even the boy who couldn't run fast was yelled at by the grumpy and tough elder sister: "Run with your lord on your back, silly boy!"

Fujimaru Tachika: "Yes, yes?!"

Although they didn't know what happened, and they didn't know why they ran into the city, but they still ran away with the large army that came to cover them out of nowhere.

Because of the appearance of some people... maybe just a certain person, the city became extremely chaotic, and the people who were shocked were very restless.

Under such circumstances, even if the assembled guards were divided into several teams, it would be difficult to find outsiders who took the opportunity to sneak into the crowd.

By the time they suppressed the riot and started looking for traces of the target person, the person had already been packed into the most remote and chaotic slum in the city and hid.

"Thank you very much for your help! But..."

"I want to ask, why did you save us?"

It has to be said that this kind of development is completely beyond imagination, making it very strange for the Chaldean party who entered purely by mistake.

Even when they are stuffed into the dilapidated home of some enthusiastic people and escaped from the guards, they are still confused.

There is only a vague guess in my heart: the treatment I am enjoying at this moment has nothing to do with them, it is just a mistake, whose favor I got...

Who this person is has already been answered.

"..."

"..."

"Tahir... my lord..."

After receiving a hint from Da Vinci, Fujimaru Tateka put the heroic spirit he had memorized all the way on the bed that the owner of the house had hastily packed up, and silently stepped aside.

There is not much difference between having them and not having them at this moment.

After all, they have been completely ignored.

It is true that most of the people who covered the arrival of outsiders here were women, and they were all of a certain age.

There are also men, and the expressions on their faces are slightly different from those of women, but what they have in common is that they are all extremely firm amidst the complexity.

Someone brought hot water and wiped the body of the heroic spirit whose face was stained with blood, weeping while wiping.

Someone was standing outside, watching the wind nervously with the others, whispering and discussing from time to time, with an increasingly painful expression on their faces.

There are more people kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads in prayer in the direction of the heroic spirit...

"They are asking the sun god to protect his most devout believer and let the light return to that person."

Da Vinci, who understood the prayer, said that Fujimaru Tatsuka and Mash couldn't help but sink in their hearts.

Still don't understand exactly what happened.

But from the scene they saw with their own eyes, they further noticed some clues.

Before that, I wanted to find the pharaoh and ask the king for help.Looking at it this way, the heroic spirit they picked up seems to have a deep entanglement with ancient Egypt, and they still can't act rashly for a while.

When he was at a loss, the women over there had no way to deal with the serious injuries of the heroic spirit. They simply cleaned up the most superficial bloodstains for him, and did not dare to do extra things.

The men who were vigilant outside came back, and hurriedly said to Fujimaru Tachika and the others who had been transparent for a long time: "You must take Lord Tahir away, the guards will definitely search here again, and he cannot be found."

Fujimaru Tachika: "I understand, but..."

"Go over there."

The people who didn't have time to explain the ins and outs hurriedly pointed them in the direction. They just went straight there. When they saw a dry river, they turned right onto the bridge and went straight. They found the dilapidated building in the abandoned village. temple.

"There is an old priest in the temple. He knows spells and can heal the wounds of the Lord. The king's army doesn't know that place, so they won't find it."

"...Okay, let's go now."

Without wasting time, the trio plus a seriously injured hero set off again, following the guidance of people who were so enthusiastic for some reason, to find the dilapidated temple.

However, at the same time.

Temple of the Pharaoh.

"Great King of Kings, Lord Ozymandias! Nitocris has taken the liberty of disturbing your rest."

It was a slightly hesitant female voice that broke the tranquility inside the temple.

"A priest came to the temple to report that the sinner you ordered to search across the country a few years ago... The former chief high priest, a man who abandoned God named Tahir, appeared in a city not far from the king. gone."

"……Well?"

Another strange thing happened.

The Pharaoh on the throne opened his eyes, but his eyes were full of doubts.

The author has something to say: Let me explain in advance: the land of ancient Egypt is original, and the people of ancient Egypt are also original, only this singularity is La Er who has not met Tahir, hehe
