1731 Chapter 1730-fusion
If Cleopatra the seventh was not lying down but standing, Zhang Zian would have noticed the amulet she was wearing.
It would be an insult to describe the eye of wajet amulet as a “priceless treasure”. It was a real divine artifact, and was on the same level as the heirloom seal in China, or even half a level higher. The first reason was that the heirloom seal had only been born for one or two hundred years, while the eye of wajet amulet had existed for at least a thousand years or more. The second reason was that the heirloom seal represented the authority of the monarch, while the eye of wajet amulet represented the authority of God.
As for the gold and gems used to make the amulet, they were not worth mentioning compared to the symbolic meaning of the amulet.
The amulet was a dead object, and the carved eye could not move, but Zhang Zian looked down at the eye and felt that it was really looking at him.
This might be the result of a godly carving technique. The eye itself had an arc like a human’s eye, but it was also similar to the compound eyes of insects. It looked like an eye, but in fact, the surface of the eyeball was cut with countless tiny edges. Under the flickering light of the surrounding oil lamps, the eye reflected a myriad of rays of light in an instant. It was extremely lively and vivid. If you took a step to the side, you would feel that the eye was moving with you and staring at you all the time.
The ancient people couldn’t figure out the principle behind this. Standing in front of the eye of wajite amulet was like being watched by a God’s eye. The fear in their hearts could be imagined, and they couldn’t help but kneel down.
If an Emperor with a strong enough aura wore the eye of wajite amulet, held the Golden scepter that symbolized ancient Egypt’s rule, and was crowned with the three-snake golden crown that symbolized the royal identity, under the double blessing of monarchical power and theocracy, it would be as mighty as a mountain.
Ordinary people couldn’t even take a look at the real thing, let alone touch it.
Similar to the fate of the heirloom seal, the original eye of wajite amulet had also been lost in the long river of history. After all, ancient Egypt was about to be destroyed at this time. After the turmoil that happened 2000 years later, no one knew the whereabouts of the amulet. People often took it for granted that the amulet might have been buried with the last pharaoh, Cleopatra the seventh.
At the end of his last trip to Egypt, after Peter Lee entered the Golden Pyramid, he had wanted to open the sarcophagus to find traces of the amulet. He thought that the amulet was most likely hidden in Cleopatra’s sarcophagus. Of course, the premise was that the sarcophagus did indeed contain Cleopatra’s body, and not an empty coffin. However, due to the natural and man-made disaster they had caused, they had not succeeded.
Zhang Zian’s hands and feet were a little weak.
“I’m sorry,”
He held his breath and reached behind Cleopatra the seventh’s head, holding her head up slightly. He touched the ring of the amulet behind her neck with the other hand and tried it a few times. Finally, the ring was removed. Just doing these two simple things made his forehead sweat.
He held one side in each hand and took off the amulet that carried her body temperature. The pure gold amulet inlaid with many gemstones was heavier than he had imagined.
If he accidentally dropped the amulet on the ground or got scratched, he would be a sinner in history …
“Please help me return it to fina.” She stared at the eye on the amulet.”I used to ask fina for this amulet to wear, as if it was by my side, but then … A lot of things happened, and I have never been able to return it to fina.”
The last time she met fina, she had taken the amulet. She had planned to return it to fina when she returned home, but the heavens did not grant her wish.
Zhang Zian carefully moved his feet, avoiding the two dead maids under his feet, and walked behind fina.
For some reason, it felt a little like the coronation ceremony of the Pope in ancient Europe.
He took a deep breath and was about to put it on fina, but something happened.
Thump!
“Thump thump!”
“#……%¥&**&*!”
The door of the room was heavily knocked, and a series of bird language that he could not understand came from outside the door.
He was so shocked by the sudden knock that he almost threw the amulet away.
Richard was also shocked, and he quickly translated,””The guards are knocking on the door. Tell … Her and the maid to open the door quickly and not do anything stupid.”
It seemed that the prolonged silence in the room had alerted the Roman soldiers, or Egypt Cleopatra had promised to go out after changing her clothes. But because there was no movement, they were worried that something had happened in the room.
The Roman soldiers had been standing guard outside the door. They were not afraid that she would escape. Where could the three weak women run? They were only worried that they would commit suicide. A living Egypt was far more valuable than a dead body.
Egypt’s weather was so hot. If a body was transported back to Rome, the body would have long rotted to the point that no human form could be seen. No one could prove that it was Cleopatra.
She might have convinced them with her glib tongue to give her some private space to change her clothes, then sneaked them outside, locked the door from the inside, and began her suicide plan.
When the guards found that the door was locked from the inside, they were shocked and anxious. They guessed that she might commit suicide. If she succeeded, their heads might not even be able to stay.
There was no response when they knocked on the door. They all used their bodies to knock on the door, but the palace door was so strong that it could not be opened easily.
In ancient times, the soldiers of powerful countries killed without blinking. Once they rushed in, they would definitely think that they were here to save Egypt and kill them all without any explanation.
“Please hurry up, we don’t have much time left.” She urged weakly. This was for their safety.
Zhang Zian tried to calm his breathing and looked back at the mysterious girl. Seeing that she still didn’t object, he put the collar around Fina’s neck, let the amulet hang on her chest, and fastened the ring. Then he stepped aside to see if Cleopatra the seventh was okay.
The Golden fina was matched with a collar made of pure gold. The amulets inlaid with various jewels shone on her chest, and the lifelike eye of wajite was so captivating that no one dared to look at it directly.
Zhang Zian only felt a sense of relief, as if he had transferred a hot potato. However, the elves, such as Vladimir, old time tea, famous, and Fati, suddenly opened their eyes wide, because they felt a different, dense, and invisible power gathering on Fina’s body. This amulet seemed to be a natural part of fina, making fina complete.
Fina had become an elf without the amulet. Now that the amulet that had endured people’s worship of Bastian for at least a thousand years had returned to her, it was natural that it would bring her to a whole new stage.
If his phone was still connected to the real server, it would have been ringing non-stop.
