The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]

The first time Tahir's eyes had problems was a few years ago, after successfully resolving the injustice of manipulating the oracle.

At that time, only he could see the long black lines coming out of the young men and women and Senedi.

Those long lines are densely connected, thicker and darker than the dark clouds that cover the sky, and there are many ominous depressions oozing from them.

They poured in like mountains collapsing, sank into the body of the blond high priest, and most of them gathered in his pupils.

On the surface, those eyes are still blue and clear enough, no matter how others look at them, they will not find anything unusual.

Of course, except for a very small number of people—or only one person—no one can get so close to the noble and indifferent high priest, and they can look at his jewel-like blue eyes. It is reasonable for people to pay attention.

But the main reason for such a perfect concealment is still the high priest himself.

Since that day, his eyes began to ache occasionally, and his eyesight was slowly declining. After a while, he found that the scenery that was quite far away suddenly couldn't see clearly.

After a while, not only things in the distance, but even things within a few meters will need to be discerned a few more times before they can be recognized.

How far has it developed in the next few years? There is no need to elaborate on it, as long as you think about it for a while, you can get the answer.

That answer is indeed tinged with "cruelty". If it is known, it will definitely cause an unstoppable storm.

So Tahir won't let anyone find out.

He is also a person who is extremely strict and rigorous in doing important things, and will not be soft on himself, but will only be more cruel.As long as you want to pretend, no one will be able to see through.

On important occasions that do not require a public appearance, the high priest has very little communication with people. He can remember who he is as long as he hears the voice once, and he will not admit his mistake even if he cannot see the face next time.

Even if it's a place where you have to accept the attention of all the people and it's easy to reveal your secrets, as long as you are careful, you won't reveal your flaws.

After all, everyone knows that he is serious and not the type to chat casually, as long as he completes the necessary things.Those rituals have been done hundreds of times, and they have long been familiarized by heart, and they can be completed perfectly with eyes closed.

No one could have imagined that if Tahir wanted to be truly "perfect", he decided to take precautions early.

His eyes have not yet reached the level of complete blindness, but he has to prepare early for this uncertain future.

The route in the temple has been memorized before, but this is not enough.

Stopping by the holy lake every day, the blond high priest bathed in the morning light will silently look around, remembering everything he can see in his heart as much as possible.

Not only the general picture, but also the area where wild flowers and weeds grow on the roadside, how many steps need to be passed from the holy lake to the temple, and the distance and width of each floor...

This person who is trying to pave the way for his disguise is also very strange. He just memorizes the necessary details, and he also pays extra attention to the wild flowers on the roadside, so that he will not accidentally step on them in the future.

However, even at this point, it is still not enough.

Although he stayed in the temple most of the year, he still had to go outside.

Tahir tried to close his eyes several times without any trace, trying to walk normally in a completely unfamiliar environment.

After bumping and bumping countless times in the experiment, and the skin that would not be exposed was covered with glaring bruises, he finally learned to use his hearing to judge the direction, and he could predict the existence of a little obstacle in advance.

Obviously it can save trouble, just use spells directly—that's what it says.

To be fully prepared, one must consider the inability to use spells.

Tahir never mentioned the reason why he considered this possibility, so he just thought it was just his thinking.

These preparations are gradually being made in secret, and the high priest who is now in front of the people is still the same, and has not changed in the slightest.

He even successfully concealed it from the only person who could see through the disguise...

At most, some flaws were accidentally left, but luckily, none of them were exposed.

The only two breaches were recent and not far apart.

The first time it appeared was on the day when I was restless and walked to Mrs. Senedi's house somehow.

Could it be that the real reason for Tahir's gaffe was that he hadn't had a good rest for several nights?

Or, as Ramses quietly guessed based on what he heard, was it because he was disturbed by the news of his half-brother's marriage while walking in the noisy crowd?

No.

Of course not.

The changes that occurred during the festival made Tahir, who was closest to the storm, immediately alert.

At that time, he hadn't thought of Ramses so quickly, but the ominous premonition that could not help emerging in his heart made him restless for a long time, almost restless.

This uneasiness expanded after arriving at Senedi's place, to the point where he couldn't help but clenched his fists and his heart throbbed when he heard just a few words.

Senedi told him that since he knew the man's name, he must not ignore the situation on the Pharaoh's side, and of course, Prince Ramses.The safety of the two of them may not be guaranteed.

It was the last half of the sentence that stunned Tahir, who was listening quietly, and his body froze uncontrollably for a moment, almost unable to sit still.

"Ramesses—and His Majesty Seti, is it the conjurer's focus?"

"Combining the previous pharaoh's... and some court secrets that I only know a little bit, the rumored conjurer should be targeting the current pharaoh himself."

In fact, Senedi just added Prince Ramses into it casually. The future pharaoh still bears the word "future" anyway, and he is not a serious pharaoh.

He felt that the guy who stared at the pharaoh and cast curses should not be diligent enough to target the prince too.

But what I didn't expect was that Tahir seemed to listen to this random sentence, and the high priest's expression immediately became uneasy.

"I will not allow anyone to hurt His Majesty Seti and His Royal Highness the Prince."

"...Then you have to be more careful, Lord Tahir."

Senedi vaguely felt that this sentence sounded a bit strange, but he couldn't tell where it was. It couldn't be that the order of the key points in the words was reversed, as if the priority of the prince was still ahead of the pharaoh?

This is definitely impossible, no matter how you think about it.

Abandoning the details that don't make sense, they went on talking.

This time, Senedi told Tahir again that although he was not sure whether the conjurer and Celt who did the work at the festival were the same person, he probably knew some clues.

"34 years ago, in the tomb of Pharaoh Ramses I, the "man" who borrowed Celt's body and turned his head to give me an evil smile said something to me on purpose."

"He said that if one day he wants to find him, whether he wants to attack him with wishful thinking, or wants to go to God Aten, he must bring this scepter with him."

In the dim tomb room in the memory, the voice fell, the figures disappeared, and the snake stick that would give people chills just by looking at it rolled out of the dark place, and then slowly rolled down to the feet of the frightened Senedi .

When Senedi saw the snake staff, his mind was swayed immediately, and he was almost bewitched to pick it up.

But when he was about to touch the snake staff, the young Senedi's neck suddenly entered the cold wind, which made him tremble all over, and he woke up immediately.

The tomb returned to calm, and the corpse and "Selter" disappeared, as if the fear just now all came from a dream—but it must not be a dream.

Precisely because of the indescribable fear, Senedi did not dare to touch the president directly, so he found a piece of cloth to wrap him, put it in a funeral jewelry box, and brought the things out.

He still didn't dare to put the snake stick by his side, thinking that such evil things must be suppressed under the light of the sun god, so he quietly hid the box in a corner of the temple.

If Tahir hadn't mentioned it today, Senedi wouldn't have thought of it, and he wished he could forget that memory.

But now he released the secret tray that had been hidden for more than [-] years, not because he met a junior who took the initiative to deal with this hot matter, and he was glad that he wanted to get rid of the burden that had weighed on him for so long.

Instead, Senedi stared in shock at the blond young man who calmly said, "Okay, I'll get the snake staff and find that conjurer" with the eyes of the stupidest idiot in the world.

"Do you think this matter is as simple as talking about it?"

Without thinking, the old man reprimanded him: "Master Selt... Assuming that person is only Selt, he was the most powerful high priest in the country at that time, and he was also a conjurer who was good at using curses. Live up to now. Such unfathomable strength, you think you can overwhelm it casually!"

"But no one is up to the task except me."

Still so calm.

Still so proud.

In just one sentence, Tahir described the rarity—the rare event where the moon replaces the sun in daylight—and Mr. Senedi, who cared about the stinky brat, was so angry that he directly said "Get lost!" The end of an important conversation.

So it seems that whether it is calm or arrogant, they are all part of the "camouflage".

Only by going out, the figure completely disappeared into the bustling crowd, and the high priest, who would no longer be noticed by others, trembled slightly, relying on the hood to cover up his momentary depression that was difficult to restrain.

Singing songs and holding flowers, men, women and children walked past him, praising the generous reward of a certain adult who had a close relationship with the high priest of the dynasty.

Whose wedding is being held here, whose banquet over there has not yet ended, there is no place in the world that is not filled with excitement, and there is no one who is not infected by this joy.

Except him.

He couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything.

Even if there is nothing wrong with his eyes, he doesn't care about anything.

The "flaw" appeared at this time.

Those ignorant children ran towards him, and based on the position Tahir was standing at that time, he could see them clearly and avoid them as long as he raised his eyes.

But he didn't notice it at all, that's why he was bumped and let someone who was led here by fate see it.

The second flaw appeared recently, and it was the overturned book that Ramses hadn't been keenly aware of today.

This should be the most obvious flaw, and the reason why it was exposed in such a sloppy manner is because Tahir has no time to take care of it.

The prince didn't know anything, he just wanted to be as close as possible to the person he liked, so that he could spend more time with him.But he didn't want to do this by himself, but it increased the pressure on Tahir several times.

Because Ramses was always by his side, he had to force himself to cheer up and not make the lowest mistakes under the pressure of fatigue and pain.

The eyes are clear and flawless, not even covered by fog, only the surface is intact, and the inside is already like a powder that has been forcibly pieced together. Just a light touch, you can find that the essence is broken.

Such a "miracle" is indeed a punishment from God.

But even so.

He still endured.

"Tahir."

"Ah."

"Listen, Tahir?"

"Ah."

"That's all right, I must tell you—how, what do you think?"

"Well, although it has nothing to do with me at all, it's still interesting."

Tahir responded to every word of Ramses.

It's just that his energy is limited, so he seems to talk less than before. When he really couldn't bear it, he had no choice but to ask the prince away.

Punishment is punishment. His behavior is more like self-torture.

'Yes, yes...this is utter abuse, my High Priest. '

The hissing sound that came slowly into the ears close to the ground was like a snake's body winding on the ground, every trace of it was cold and cold.

When the voice fell into the eardrum, it changed from a hiss to a human language, but it was extremely hoarse, like the whisper of a devil: "Yes, Tahir, you don't need to endure this pain at all. '

The snake staff that disappeared from the ruins of Akhnaton actually entered the sacred temple that should have been shrouded in the light of the sun god, and appeared without a trace beside the blond high priest who closed his eyes and prayed in front of the statue.

The black snake "live" came to life, its long and narrow body really caressed and climbed on the ground, and finally wrapped its tail cunningly around the young man's straight waist, and lifted its head up quietly.

The long letter spit out brought out an inexplicable refreshing fragrance, stretching and contracting beside the stern profile of the young man, so as to express the charming human language.

'Look, what beautiful eyes, if you really can no longer see things, it will make the bright moon dusty, and the only beauty left in this boring world will also be lost. '

'Think about it, you should be God's darling, how weaker are you than the pharaoh who wears the halo of the Son of God?It's just an identity that can be changed at any time.Just like the previous masters who held me, they all served at the feet of Amon-Ra, and they all figured this out in the end, thus ascending to the throne. '

The Black Snake is transformed from the consciousness of Seth's staff, and has inherited the evil god's ability to deceive and rhetoric. Every word uttered by Shekou is as sweet as intoxicating nectar.

It spoke eloquently, weighing the pros and cons with great patience for the dull high priest.

It first laid out the glory and wealth obtained by the "previous masters" with the help of its power, and assembled them into such a dazzling and stunning picture scroll.He also pretended to be filled with righteous indignation, feeling unwilling for the high priest who voluntarily took on God's punishment but didn't get any benefits.

'Although they are your seniors, they didn't use my power correctly at all. They are so stupid that they will inevitably end up in misery. '

’—but you are different, Tahir. '

The snake's vertical pupils narrowed slightly, as if to cover up the greed that was almost overflowing.

Its hypnotic breath once again sprinkled on the unmoved cheeks of the high priest, seductive and ambiguous: "You are the first human being who has not even had the slightest desire in your heart when you touch me. Wisdom and rationality, plus the power to subvert the world, what else can't be obtained? '

'Gold and silver jewelry? '

'Admired by thousands of people? '

'Just sit in that position and you can get anything!Haha, even if you don't even look down on the throne, you can sit on everyone's head. '

'not to mention……'

Black Snake said another word.

——Haven’t you already “betrayed”?In front of one "faith", you chose another without hesitation, and now, you kneel in front of the idol that you have abandoned.

It could be heard from the implicitly smug tone that this was one of the last means used by Black Snake to lure the High Priest, and it had deep confidence in him.

However, unexpected.

This time the temptation failed again.

The human named Tahir must be the most stubborn and hopeless human that Snake Zhang has encountered in hundreds of years.

As long as you are a human being with a heart in your heart, you cannot escape the word "desire".

The only ones without "desire" are sages. Without the word "sage", they are still in the category of human beings, and it is absolutely impossible to have no desires.

Tahir has a cold, untouched appearance, but he has never been a "saint".

There must be "desire" in his heart, but Rao's instinct is to control people's hearts, so he has no way to deal with this human being for a while.

As it said, Tahir was the only human who encountered it and remained as unresponsive as anyone else.

Recalling the scene at that time, She Zhang couldn't believe it.

It was probably because of the long years of being banned that made it flustered, and this time the snake stick was able to appear in the world, of course he wanted to have some fun for himself.Its fun can only be found in stupid human beings.

The few human beings that it had fun with before were dead to the bone, and only the foolish conjurer who thought he controlled it was still alive, so he stayed for a little longer.

When Snake Staff saw Tahir for the first time, his first reaction was that this human being is very good, very suitable for being tempted to degenerate.

The more aloof and noble a person looks, the more attractive they will be when they are forced to look desperate and crazy...

Then it was slapped hard in the face.

This human being is ruthless, really ruthless.

Not to mention not being tempted at all, he came up to negotiate with it that had been buried in the ground for decades and was so bored that it panicked, and he wanted to use its power to break the barrier and get rid of the magician's wraith.

She Zhang woke up from the shock of "how could a human being categorically reject the temptation of a beautiful woman with money and status", and ushered in a new shock.

Although it really does not like the useless Mayi and wants to kill him, but this human being is directly different from the camp, it is clear about its purpose, isn't it afraid of traps?

"What is in front of me is already a trap, and I just want to use the simplest method to resolve it."

Humans still don't beat around the bush: "Let's make a deal, as long as the curse can be broken, I am willing to agree to any conditions you propose."

Snake Staff: "?"

Needless to say, the Snake Staff was shocked again.

It was the first time it encountered such a straightforward, seemingly stupid human being, and it was very novel.

Thus, a malicious condition was put forward: it asked the holy high priest in front of him to give up his belief in Ra and to believe in Seth instead.

Human: "The latter will not work."

She Zhang (pretending to be regretful): "Then..."

Human: "The former is fine."

Snake Stick: "It's a pity...huh? Huh???"

Not to mention how many times it was shocking, in short, She Zhang was stunned for a while, and really agreed, modifying the conditions to only leave the first half of the sentence.

It thought that even so it was its own victory, tempting the High Priest of the Sun Temple to give up his belief, and then slowly luring him into the "predecessor" path of no return, it was so funny, so interesting——

……

Just kidding!

It wasn't until Zheng'er Bajing signed the contract that it slowly realized that something was wrong!I didn't turn my head around, I was cheated!

This human being is not something it can seduce.

Because he doesn't seem to like anything, doesn't want anything, he doesn't like anything.

She Zhang firmly believed that he must have a desire, but he couldn't find it, so he persevered in probing repeatedly.

Money, fame, wealth and beautiful women—these basic "desires" have been tried all over, and it is useless at all.

She Zhang was very angry, thinking that it is rare to see a human being who can be so indifferent to this level in a hundred years. How could such a person pay the price of his soul and faith in order to break the curse for others——

Well?

Suddenly thought of here.

The details that hadn't been noticed before were suddenly revealed, and the golden pupils of the Black Snake were suddenly brightened, and the contempt and ridicule that came after a sudden realization were ready to come out.

It slowly wrapped around the waist of the blond high priest again, and the snake's head could hardly rest in front of the young man's graceful neck.

hiss--

"Isn't there another [thing] that you can't get anyway..."

what is it then?

Obviously I have been longing for it all the time, but as long as I keep the status quo, I will never get... that [thing].

The expression of the high priest who prayed silently remained unchanged, but at this moment, when he heard the whisper of the devil that rang in his ears, he finally changed for the first time.

'Your real desire is actually [him]. '

said the snake.

'What a cruel feeling, even I couldn't help crying.But the only chance is yours, Tahir. '

'Didn't I say that as long as you get the power, you can have everything.The person you admire doesn't know anything about what you've done, and will just leave you behind to become the king of the world, trample on your feelings, marry a wife and have children... Tsk tsk, wouldn't it be all right to just change it? '

'You could have stopped this. '

The snake said again.

——Stop him, and prevent the good things that he has taken all these benefits from coming true.

—do whatever you want, including hugging him, kissing him, pressing him to...

The extremely naked/unobtrusive picture is outlined without any scruples.

Thinking that he had finally caught the only weakness of this human being, Snake Zhang was describing it with great excitement!

The extremely beautiful blond young man opened his eyes with an indifferent expression.

next second.

The black snake rolled miserably to the ground.

Another second.

The high priest got up, even though he stepped on the tail of the black snake and walked away, his figure was still so noble and indescribable.

The author has something to say: Hello everyone, I don’t know if you are excited or not after reading this, but I am very excited when I write [Be beaten
