Chapter Fourteen Leaving

After Anubis instilled divine power into the Scorpion King's bracelet, he threw the bracelet, which had turned into dark gold, to Chen Mo.

"Let this be your reward for killing the Scorpion King. I don't want to rule mankind again, but I do need new faith." Anubis seemed to take a step back.

Catching the bracelet, Chen Mo played with it, then nodded and said to Anubis: "Belief in ancient Egyptian gods is part of Egypt's tradition and culture. Respecting traditional culture has always been an important part of Egyptian cultural construction.

, as king I don’t mind the revival of tradition in Egypt.

However, tradition naturally has its essence but also its dross. How to extract the essence and discard the dross requires more careful choices, discussion and research. After all, times have changed, and human belief in gods is no longer just a belief."

"Mortal, your greed and cunning make even the gods ashamed." Anubis didn't seem satisfied with the result, but he didn't say anything more. He just said to Chen Mo: "But maybe you

You are right, times have changed and some things do need to be discussed."

After saying that, Anubis glanced at the bracelet Chen Mo held in his hand with a deep look, and then withdrew his will.

As Anubis' will was withdrawn, the entire statue turned into ashes.

Seeing this scene, Chen Mo said to the others: "It's time for us to go out. Without the power of Anubis, this place is about to collapse."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt the ground shake. As if to confirm Chen Mo's words, a stone from the ceiling fell directly.

When everyone saw this, they didn't care to say anything more and hurriedly ran out of the pyramid together.

Not long after everyone ran out of the pyramid, the entire pyramid began to collapse, as if it had experienced thousands of years of erosion in an instant and suddenly became decayed and withered.

And with the collapse of the pyramid, the surrounding oases seem to have been affected and are shrinking towards here.

The entire oasis is gradually withering, withering, slowly turning into fly ash and being absorbed by the gradually collapsing pyramid, slowly dissipating bit by bit.

Those dwarf mummies gradually lost their vitality and fell to the ground, turning into wisps of fly ash.

Seeing everything gradually collapse and annihilate, Chen Mo and others did not stop, but took the wounded and quickly evacuated out of the oasis.

However, as the pyramid collapsed, a flash of light dazzled Chen Mo's eyes.

He took a closer look and saw that it was the huge diamond placed on the top of the pyramid.

Chen Mo was a little surprised, but after thinking for a moment, he reached out to the diamond, took it off the top of the pyramid that had begun to collapse, and let the huge diamond fly to his hand.

Looking at the huge diamond that required two hands to hold, Jonathan's eyes were filled with envy.

Noticing Jonathan's look, Chen Mo threw the diamond directly to him. Jonathan quickly reached out to catch it. Even though he was staggered by the diamond, he still had a surprised smile on his face.

"This diamond should be worth a lot of money, and it can be used as compensation for you." Chen Mo said to O'Connor: "Since you have fulfilled your promise, I will pardon you for destroying ancient monuments and trying to steal cultural relics in the future.

After returning to Cairo you can take your son back to England."

Hearing what Chen Mo said, O'Connor finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked Chen Mo: "Thank you, Your Majesty Chen Mo! I can't thank you enough."

"Don't be so polite, you deserve this. Since I promised you, I will fulfill my promise." Chen Mo did not care about O'Connor's thanks, but reminded him: "But this time I can pardon you.

, it will be hard to talk about it next time. I suggest that you don’t do this kind of thing of destroying historical sites and plundering cultural relics from other countries in the future, otherwise people won’t be as easy to talk to as me next time.”

After hearing what Chen Mo said, O'Connor sincerely agreed: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty Chen Mo, you will never do it again in the future."

He knew very well that Chen Mo's words were well-intentioned. Regardless of whether it was illegal to destroy other people's monuments and take away cultural relics, O'Connor was extremely tired of the monsters and monsters that might be uncovered when digging for these cultural relics.

If Chen Mo hadn't intervened this time, O'Connor believed that even if his wife successfully brought the Scorpion King bracelet back to London, she would risk her own life and try to put on the bracelet and come to this oasis.

And in that case, he would be the only one to face the Scorpion King.

O'Connor rubbed his chest, which was still hurting, and felt that he had at least two broken ribs. He suddenly felt that after he went back, he must educate Evelin, stop doing such dangerous things, and sit in the office and study properly.

Ancient books are much better.

However, before O'Connor's idea was put into practice, Evelin said dissatisfiedly: "This is a normal archaeological excavation and academic research! You can't stop us from excavation of history!"

"Miss, excavating history is not about smashing other people's cultural relics, then taking other people's cultural relics back to your own home, and then calling it research and excavation." Facing Evelin's attitude, Chen Mo was really bored.

, his tone could not help but become colder.

But no matter how O'Connor pulled her aside, Evelin still retorted to Chen Mo: "That's because you can't protect those cultural relics. Only by placing them in the hands of professionals can those cultural relics be best kept! Let humans appreciate them.

To the splendid culture they once symbolized!”

"If there were less colonial invaders like you who plundered under the name of protection, believe me, every country can protect their historical monuments and cultural relics." Chen Mo's entire body became completely cold.

, said to Evelin with a very indifferent attitude: "And instead of digging out those ancient ruins, the greatest protection for history would be to destroy less civilizations. Aztecs, Mayans, Inca... which one is not brilliant?

Ancient civilization, who destroyed them?

Or do you want to deny all this, saying that it has nothing to do with you, or do you need me to list more genocidal crimes committed by you colonists? Don't think that you are civilized people, others are indigenous barbarians, those ancient civilizations established

When the splendid culture began, you were just slaves of the Romans and Anglo-Saxon barbarians."

After saying that, Chen Mo didn't bother to care about them anymore, and quickly left with Jack and others, leaving only O'Connor and the others.

Perhaps because of their friendship, Adebe still said to O'Connor: "Take care of your wife, O'Connor, and don't let her cause trouble again."

After saying that, he left some supplies for them and followed Chen Mo with his soldiers.
