In the end, relying on the horses and camels provided by Chen Mo, O'Connor and his party, together with Chen Mo and Ada Wang, finally arrived at their destination before dawn, but what they saw in front of them was a bare desert.
.
"What are we waiting for here? Where is Hamna Tower?" The warden couldn't wait any longer. He didn't understand why the group had to stop and wait in the desert, so he couldn't help complaining loudly.
The warden's complaint also raised doubts among others. Except for Chen Mo, who already knew what would happen, only O'Connor, who had been here once, knew what would happen next.
Facing the impatient warden and doubtful companions, O'Connor just smiled and said: "You will understand when the sun rises."
O'Connor looked so showy, but Chen Mo didn't care. He just smiled and said nothing.
But others were obviously a little dissatisfied, but there was not much time until sunrise at this time, and everyone didn't mind waiting a little longer, so they didn't say anything else.
While they were waiting, another group of people arrived here before the sun rose, as if they had made an appointment.
This group of people comes from the United States and is a group of adventurers who also hope to find Hamunata, and they are obviously much better prepared than O'Connor and others.
Not only did they hire O'Connor's former friend Benny, who had also been to Hamnatta, as a guide, he also invited an Egyptologist and brought a large number of laborers, horses and tools for excavation, which looked majestic.
Swinging and extraordinary.
But these were just a group of local excavation workers. Chen Mo just had no intention of hiring them. Otherwise, Ada Wang could hire ten times more workers at any time.
"Hey, O'Connor, the camels are nice!" Benny rode up to O'Connor and greeted him.
The two men were originally comrades serving in the same army and were good friends, but when they were in Hamnatta, Benny abandoned O'Connor and ran away, which caused a rift between the two.
In addition, the two of them now have their own masters. Although the two sides are not antagonistic, they are obviously in a competitive relationship. This also leads to O'Connor not having a good look towards Benny.
It doesn't matter whether O'Connor has a good attitude toward Benny. From the perspective of the Americans who hired him, what matters is Hamna Tower and the gold inside.
But now that everyone is waiting here, they obviously feel a little confused and a little impatient, so one of them asked: "What are we waiting for here?"
"Wait until our destination appears." Benny explained to his employer. As someone who has been to Hamna Tower, he still knows what is going to happen next.
Hearing that the guide said they still had to wait, this obviously made several Americans a little impatient, so they began to tease O'Connor to make a bet with them on who could reach Hamna Tower first.
While they were making bets, Chen Mo took out his pocket watch that looked like a decoration, glanced at the time and said, "Pay attention, it's coming."
As his words fell, under the eyes of everyone in amazement, the ruins of a city hidden in the valley, together with the surrounding mountains, gradually appeared in the sunlight.
It's like the sun is a pair of invisible hands lifting up the curtain covering the city.
Watching an entire mountain gradually emerge from the sunlight, the golden radiance made the entire city gradually emerge as if dust had been wiped off the surface. Everyone was stunned.
"Unbelievable! How was this done?" Even Ada Wang, who had followed Chen Mo through the world once, was shocked by the wonders in front of her. Although she was well-informed, she
I really haven't seen it before.
"The perfect use of light and shadow, the miraculous magic of the ancient Egyptians." Chen Mo couldn't help but praise, and the spectacle in front of him was indeed worthy of his praise.
Perhaps in the movie this was just a special effects shot that was slightly distorted under the technical conditions at the time, but in reality, watching a mountain and a city gradually appear before your eyes, it was really an indescribable shock.
I can't help but marvel at the splendor created by the ancient Egyptians.
"Hamna Tower..." Everyone was amazed. Benny and O'Connor may have seen it once before, but they were not as amazed as others. After seeing the destination appear, they both drove their mounts and headed towards it.
A city rushed past.
Seeing this, a group of Americans also slapped the butts of their mounts and rushed towards the city of death where countless treasures and gold were buried in front of them.
Evelin saw that all the guides she had hired rushed out, and the place she had dreamed of proving herself was right in front of her. This passionate female scholar also drove her mount and rushed towards the ancient city in front of her.
past.
However, among all the people, Chen Mo gently tapped the horse under his crotch, and then drove it to move towards Hamna Tower at a leisurely pace.
Ada Wang followed Chen Mo, but she had no interest in the racing competition of this group of people. She just curiously asked her boss: "Boss, is this magic?"
"Half and half, this is the embodiment of ancient Egypt's outstanding architectural craftsmanship, mathematics, and astronomical achievements. The so-called magic just makes everything look more spectacular and magnifies what we see." Facing Ada.
·In response to Wang’s inquiry, Chen Mo gave an explanation.
Relying on one year of study in the world of Resident Evil, Chen Mo's vision and knowledge reserve have been greatly improved. He is no longer a rookie who didn't know anything at first and could only follow the spells in the spell book step by step to cast spells.
appearance.
And relying on his own accumulation, Chen Mo could easily see how this city was hidden.
"Why did the ancient Egyptians hide this city? To hide the treasures here?" Ada Wang asked Chen Mo curiously.
Although it is difficult to understand the idea of hiding a city, Ada Wang can still accept it now that it has appeared before her eyes. But what she does not understand is why the ancient Egyptians hid the city at night.
, and let it appear again during the day.
If you really want to hide, shouldn't you do it during the day?
"This is related to the mythology of ancient Egypt. In ancient Egyptian mythology, during the day, the sun god Ra would drive the thousand-year ship Manjet to cruise the Nile River, bringing light, happiness and peace to Upper and Lower Egypt, while at night, the god Ra would drive the
The second sun ship, Mesektate, entered the River Styx and passed through the twelve kingdoms of the Duat, the underworld in Egyptian mythology." Chen Mo rode towards Hamna Tower while riding towards Ada.
Wang explained: “When the god Ra enters the underworld, he will face various threats and enemies together with the gods, and the human world will lose his blessing, so the dead can be resurrected at night.
This city is called the City of the Dead. It was a place used to bury the Pharaoh and other royal nobles during the Seti I period. Naturally, it was necessary to prevent the resurrection of the dead from disturbing the Pharaoh's sleep, so the entire city followed the Sun God into the city at night.
The underworld is still under the light of the sun god."
