"Is this potion different from the potion usually used to make mummies?" The young guard looked at Princess Yamanlana and asked.
As an indispensable mummy in ancient Egyptian civilization, it is almost well known to everyone - but the craftsmanship of mummification is not something that common people can master - otherwise the number of mummies handed down to modern times may not be so rare .
Princess Yamalana seemed to be interested in the potion itself, so she thought for a while and said, "This formalin potion was obtained through a special way, and I brought it back here later. Then I asked the scholars here to study with me, and it took a lot of time to find an alternative medicinal material, and finally the configuration was successful."
"A special way... a place other than the desert." The young guard asked immediately.
Princess Yamanlana said: "This method is not suitable for ordinary people, even if you know it, it is useless."
The young guard just nodded, as if he didn't intend to ask further questions... Princess Yamanlana couldn't help but bend her eyes slightly with her modest attitude—she suddenly understood why it was so comfortable to get along with this guy.
Because he was just curious and had no intentions... He had no other intentions for himself—Princess Yamalana found it hard to imagine why such a person would become a guard of the palace, perhaps he was more suitable to take the path of a scholar.
"Eben, are you interested in learning?" Princess Yamalana looked at her with bright eyes.
"Study?" The young guard smiled and said, "I like to study."
Princess Yamalana went one step further... She opened her hands, with a look of fanaticism like a certain mustache leader: "Iben, you are still young, and you still have a lot of time in the future... Have you ever thought about, through Learning to change your own life? Think about it, as a guard in the palace, you may have to stay until you are forty years old. During this process, you don’t know whether you will be able to survive every dark night and longest day in the middle. But if If you are willing to study and become a scholar, the situation will be completely different. I will do my best to protect every scholar who is loyal to me... because scholars are the most important wealth of the kingdom! You know this research institute What is everything in it? Here are the things that allow us to kill giant beasts more efficiently, can help us understand the characteristics of giant beasts, their living habits, and even possibly study the origin of these giant beasts... And all of this , are all subjects named [Science]! And [Science], it is the only ultimate power that can change the world!"
But the young guard suddenly said: "No wonder the people here look quite young... Did they also be encouraged by Her Highness the Princess before?"
Princess Yamanlana said: "Only young people have passion and the courage to challenge traditions! That's right, although the scholars here are young, their knowledge is definitely not much worse than those long-established scholars in the kingdom! They even They are more energetic than old university students, and they are more willing to learn new subjects... The future has always been in the hands of younger people!"
Seeing Her Royal Highness Princess Yamanlana's expression gradually becoming agitated, the young guard said casually: "I think, I need to think about it."
Princess Yamalana didn't seem disappointed because of this... She even seemed to have expected the other party's reaction a long time ago, "It's okay, you should think about it carefully... think about it carefully, see clearly, think clearly, what is the true meaning of this country? What is needed! I will wait for your answer, Eben!"
Looking at each other... probably between a few breaths.
The young guard seemed to have never had this conversation, and turned to look at the head of the giant beast in the pool, "Your Highness, it seems that this place has been studied for a while... I don't know if the scholars here have found these giant beasts. The origin of no."
Princess Yamanlana seemed quite dissatisfied with the indifference of the young guards... She frowned slightly, but soon calmed down, and said indifferently: "These giant beasts should not have such a huge body... In fact, Through the collection of specimens over the years, we have discovered that these giant beasts have similar structures to many ordinary creatures living in the desert... Look here."
Princess Yamalana pointed to the pool on the other side—there were many pools of different sizes, and the one where the young guard stood was just one of them.
On the other side of the pool, there is a complete corpse of a giant beast... The total volume of the corpse of this giant beast is only as big as the head of the giant beast as seen at the beginning... It is about three meters high.
"Look, what does this giant beast look like?" Princess Yamarana asked directly.
The young guard said: "It's a bit like a scorpion."
"That's right, it looks like a scorpion." Princess Yamalana nodded: "By hunting this giant beast, we discovered that it has the same habits as a scorpion. Afterwards, we broke open its body and found it The structure of its internal organs is basically the same as that of a scorpion... It's just that its organs have obviously become stronger, its outer shell has become stronger, its pincers have become sharper, and it can even shoot out venom, corroding rocks and sand... Its speed Even more amazing."
Speaking of which, Princess Yamanlana couldn't help shaking her head, and said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for these giant beasts not liking to live in groups, they would even kill each other. Facing such powerful them, we wouldn't have Any odds."
"What is this?" The young guard pointed at the body of the mutated scorpion-like monster in the pool, somewhere between the jaw and the neck and asked.
If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be the same thing on the forehead of the giant beast's head in the pool next to it: a black crystal that looked like crystal.
"Stone of the Curse" Princess Yamanlana frowned and said, "Actually, we don't know what it is... Not every giant beast will be born with this [Stone of Curse] in its body. Or it is possible to find this kind of crystal in the body of a very special giant beast."
"Why is it called [Cursed Stone]?"
Princess Yamanlana thought for a while and said, "Anyone who accidentally touches it will be corroded and turned into a pile of sand, just like being killed by the enemy of the sun god, the evil king of the desert. The Lord cursed the same... So, we call it the [Cursed Stone]."
"The lord of the desert... Seth." The young guard was thoughtful.
Princess Yamalana frowned, and asked with a warning in her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Iben, in the City of the Sun, it is not allowed to mention this evil name... You should know it! "
… I just found out.
The young guard said: "But Her Royal Highness just told me to have the courage to challenge those old things."
At the same time, as the saint of the God of the Sun Temple, Princess Yamanlana's face darkened at this time, "Mortals should not comment on the gods... As the people of the God of the Sun, we should abide by the rules of the gods." strip!"
The young guard suddenly smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Princess Yamalana frowned suddenly.
The young guard casually glanced at the passageway when he came in, then looked at Her Royal Highness and said slowly: "[Science], the ultimate power to change the world... This is what you firmly believe in, Your Highness Princess. I was just suddenly curious, I don’t know if the power of [science] can defeat the gods.”
His voice was not loud, but it suddenly silenced all the voices in the entire research institute at this moment... The surroundings were silent, and the busy scholars stopped their hands one after another, all looking at the young guard It seems.
There was terror in their eyes... There was also confusion, and even a trace of fanaticism.
Princess Yamalana opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something... Her Royal Highness looked around, but suddenly waved her hand, and said in a deep voice, "Today's visit time is over! The banquet should have started, I should attend Already... come with me!"
Finally, under the silent eyes of many young scholars, the young guards and Princess Yamalana slowly left the heavily guarded research institute.
After the princess and the guards left, the young scholars gathered together and talked quietly.
"Did you hear that, he said that sentence!"
"Shh... this is taboo, don't mention it again!"
"Since it's taboo, why are we here? Isn't it just for the challenge..."
"Shut up!"
The scholars suddenly fell silent... because the one who shut up was the oldest among them, and he was also one of the initiators who followed Her Highness the Princess and founded the institute.
The short-lived confusion was quickly suppressed, and the young scholars started their research work again... But no one noticed that amidst the sudden discussion and commotion just now, a black shadow quietly broke into the research institute Among them... quietly walked deeper into the research institute.
That is where Her Royal Highness the Princess did not bring the young guards to visit... where more core secrets of the institute are located.
…
…
Her Royal Highness Princess Yamalana didn't say a word all the way, and walked ahead alone... until she saw the light of the lights in front—probably not far away from the banquet venue.
His Royal Highness suddenly stopped, "Iben, I hope you don't tell anyone what happened today."
The young guard asked curiously: "The research institute is in the palace, in such a big building... Doesn't everyone in the palace know about it?"
Princess Yamanlana shook her head and said: "People in the palace, including the Great God, also know that I have such a research institute, but they just think that it is a place for me to study weapons against giant beasts... I mean, [science], And what you said at the end... If you don’t want the kingdom to think you are a heretic, then it’s best not to say the same thing in the future.”
"Then what is the answer from Her Royal Highness?" the young guard asked in a low voice.
"What?" Princess Yamalana was startled subconsciously, and even her face darkened.
When I was young, I didn't seem to see it, and asked myself: "Your Highness, do you think [science] can defeat the gods... as the ultimate power to change the world?"
"I've said it before!" Princess Yamalana was furious, "Don't mention the same thing again... Iben, do you really think I dare not execute you?"
In a rage, Her Royal Highness even took out the artifact from her personal collection and pointed it at the young guard.
The young guard shook his head, "As the princess of the kingdom, I believe that Her Royal Highness fully possesses this power."
"Then you pay back!" Princess Yamanlana stared, her expression becoming more and more fierce.
The young guard said: "Because I want to know, if Her Highness the Princess wants to recruit me to be your scholar...whether she will yearn to open your heart. I want to know what Her Highness the Princess believes in, is it a god, or... [science]."
The artifact—the pistol trembled a few times due to the mood swings of the owner at this moment. Princess Yamalana took a deep breath, and finally lowered the artifact slowly, and put it away.
Then she said slowly: "Look with your eyes... You can judge for yourself whether it is worth becoming a scholar. This is the last warning, and the same words are not allowed to be said a third time... Next time, I will not Any hesitation."
"So..." The young guard nodded, and then said softly, "Then, let me follow Her Royal Highness for a while... use my eyes to see clearly."
Princess Yamalana couldn't help but twitched her brows, then hummed softly, and turned around.
... Did this guy do it on purpose
... these words, compared with teasing...
at this moment.
"Quick! Come here and look for it! I will definitely find it! Find something that makes the princess smile... Haha, I'm going to be the prince's son-in-law of the kingdom!"
"Dream you! I must be the one who can find something that makes the princess smile! Get the hell out of here, all of you!"
"Hahaha! I didn't expect Princess Yamanlana's question to be so simple. I already thought of the answer!"
I saw several palace guards and a man who looked like the young master of a certain minister's family rushed into the courtyard quickly, and then started searching for something.
Their voices were not loud...but they could be heard carefully by Princess Yamalana in the dim corridor.
Princess Yamanlana couldn't help being startled, she was a smart person, but she had already guessed a general idea just based on the words of these men.
It roughly means that Her Royal Highness has asked a question, so that the man who can solve this question will be her guest of honor... Her Royal Highness
But Princess Yamanlana can't remember when she asked any questions at all!
"Could it be... Father?" Princess Yamalana was confused. It's not that she didn't know the relationship between herself and the pharaoh of the kingdom.
"You just make me..." Princess Yamanlana silently looked at the lights of the banquet not far away, and suddenly sighed slowly.
"Did something happen?" The young guard walked forward and asked curiously.
Princess Yamanlana raised her head at this time, looked at the young guard in front of her, and suddenly gritted her teeth... Her Royal Highness suddenly reached out, took off the earring from the earlobe, and stuffed it into the young guard's hands.
"You, take this earring to Pharaoh, and tell him... I already have the answer!"
Young guard: "??"
Father, since you want me to marry so much... then I will fulfill you!
