Chapter 514 Pharaoh's Guards (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)
The Black Book of the Undead and the Golden Book of the Sun are among the most important artifacts in this world. In fact, they were originally just books made of gold, obsidian and bronze, but thousands of years of nourishment from divine power have turned them into true artifacts.

After opening the two books with the key in the space bag, they found that the claim that the two books contained all the magic of ancient Egypt was a bit exaggerated. After all, the two books were made of thick gold plates or obsidian slabs, plus heavy bronze connectors. So each of the two books only had seven pages of content.

"Seven is a magical number. It seems that this saying has a long history!" Hermione sighed after reading the two books. This point had been repeatedly emphasized in their previous arithmetic divination class, but Ryan did not expect that even across a long distance of space and time, this rule still stubbornly existed.

After further inspection, they found something even more disappointing: I don't know if it was due to the technology or other reasons. Each hieroglyphic letter carved on these thick boards was 2*2cm in size, plus many half-palm-sized illustrations, which looked really exquisite, but this directly resulted in only spells recorded in each book, including the spells on the cover. There were a total of spells in the two books.

But after reading it carefully, Ryan found that the spells in it were more powerful than he had imagined, and that a large number of other spells were contained in these spells. For example, the book contained magic for resurrection and magic for large-scale changes to the natural environment. At the same time, the basic runes of these magics could be used to easily infer other magics.

However, all of these require divine power to support them. If he relied solely on magic, Ryan found that he could not achieve the same effect unless he used ritual magic, but then he could not use it in battle at all. Not to mention that due to the differences in the worlds, some magic can only be effective in this world. For example, because the rules of death are slightly different in each world, many worlds do not allow people who have reached a certain level of death to be resurrected.

"You guys made that noise just now, right? Has the evil here really been eliminated?" Just after Ryan and Hermione roughly flipped through the two books, Evelyn and Jonathan spent a lot of effort with Rose Crystal to calm the horses that were running around scared by the thunder and rode them over.

"Yes, not only have they been destroyed. All the treasures underground, including these two books, have been given to us by their owners." Ryan and Hermione smiled happily while holding the books, "Wait for us to go down and deal with those dangerous mechanisms, and then we can move the treasures to the treasury."

Afterwards, Ryan and his team went down to the ruins to inspect the entire ruins. With the help of Ryan's mechanical knowledge, all the mechanisms of the ruins were discovered and destroyed one by one. Finally, they went down to the ritual room at the bottom of the ruins, which was the house where Imhotep tried to revive Ansuna in the movie.

"This is the gate to death. Walking into this pool will lead you directly to the land of death, just like we passed through the stone archway in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic before. But the difference is that it is much easier for the dead to come out from this door than ours." Ryan introduced to Hermione after walking onto the small bridge over the pit of swirling black liquid and human bones.

"Is this the difference in the rules of death in different worlds?" Hermione looked at the black liquid thoughtfully. After saying hello to Ryan, she picked up the Black Book of the Undead and the Golden Book of the Sun, opened them, and sat cross-legged beside the black water to study them.

Ryan smiled at Hermione who was in a state of enlightenment. There were not many opportunities to face the rules he studied directly. Ryan would definitely not affect Hermione at this time, so he used magic to clean up the house and released a few robots, then left and returned to the ground to find Evelyn and Rose Crystal. But when he just came to the ground, he saw a black shadow appear on the horizon, and then it was getting closer and closer.

"Black robe cavalry?" Ryan immediately recognized who was running past. This should be the descendants of the Pharaoh's Guard, the guardian of this land. However, when Ryan and his team came here, they had been using magic to cover up their whereabouts. As a result, the descendants of the Pharaoh's Guard who were on guard in the distance did not react until the thunder rolled just now and began to gather people. However, without modern communication equipment, they did not gather enough people until now and mustered up the courage to rush over.

At this time, Evelyn and Jonathan also ran out from under the temporary awning that had just been built, and then took out the telescope to look into the distance. After seeing what was coming, Jonathan subconsciously drew out his small pistol and blocked it in front of his sister, ready to take her away, but before he took a step, he found Ryan standing there calmly. After seeing this scene, Jonathan also stood there calmly with his sister and watched the black cavalrymen approaching from a distance. These cavalrymen slowed down when approaching Hamunata, and then stopped 20 to 30 meters away from the entrance.

When the main force stopped, a dozen black-robed men stepped out of the crowd and spoke a few words to the people behind them before slowly riding towards the entrance of the ruins. After entering the entrance and seeing Ryan, the leader dismounted, walked in front of him, knelt on one knee and performed an ancient salute.

"God's favored one who has come from afar, the destroyer of ancient evil. Hello, I am Adebei, the leader of the Pharaoh's guards. It's an honor to meet you!"

When Ryan saw this, he bowed slightly and returned the courtesy of a wizard. Then he asked Adebe who stood up, "Hello, you can call me Ryan. What can I do for you?"

"We, the Pharaoh's guards, have guarded Hamunaptra for generations to prevent anyone from releasing Imhotep, the high priest of Pharaoh Seti I. Back then, the high priest had an affair with the Pharaoh's favorite concubine, Ansuna. After being discovered, he teamed up with Ansuna to kill the Pharaoh. Therefore, our ancestors used a cruel punishment on him: insect bite--" Adebe told the news about this place.

"So, if it wasn't for my brother who killed that vengeful spirit, he would have brought endless darkness to the whole of Egypt, right?" After listening to Adebe's story, Rose Crystal, who had been hiding beside Ryan, asked. "Why did your ancestors leave you with such a big trouble?"

Adebei was startled by the sudden appearance of the rose crystal, then looked at Ryan and said, "My lord wizard, my ancestors were extremely angry because they failed to stop Imhotep from killing the king, so after catching him, they were controlled by anger and directly executed him with insect bites. But later, because we were worried that doing so would hurt the people of this land, we have been guarding this place for thousands of years to atone for the lack of consideration of our ancestors."

At this point, Adebei looked at Ryan with gratitude. "Thanks to your help, our mission is finally completed and we can finally leave this barren land."

"Where are you all going?" Ryan suddenly thought of a question and asked. After all, it was different from thousands of years ago. There are people everywhere now. Ryan was very curious about where these descendants of the pharaohs would go.

"We don't know either." Adebei shook his head in confusion. "It is precisely because of the barren land here that we have only had a tribe of more than 50,000 people in three thousand years of development. We don't know where to go. Our hometown a thousand years ago no longer belongs to us. After all, times have changed, and many things have become increasingly unfamiliar. We can only take it one step at a time."

"I think I have an idea." Ryan said, looking at the leader of the descendants of the ancient pharaoh's guards who looked a little lonely.
