Chapter 88 Hidden Clues

"Uncle is dead?!"

"Yes... He was the one who activated the door key, but what was teleported back was only his body, and Uther who had become like this was also teleported back..."

Tuya held Uther's hand, shook her head and could not say anything more.

Adam tightened his grip on the Dark Staff again and again, and finally was able to control his legs to move forward.

Uther was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, just like when he stayed in bed in the dormitory in the past.

However, at this time, his upper body was naked, and a big hole was cut in his chest. Where the heart was originally, there was now an emerald scarab.

Although Uther was back, his heart was left there.

The only thing that allowed Adam to think calmly was that he found that Uther, who had lost his heart, was still not dead.

"What did they encounter?"

"I don't know..."

Tuya wiped her tears:

"Merian only said that he had made a discovery, and then he took Uther and the priests into the desert. This kind of thing was very common before, so I didn't ask much..."

"Then auntie, do you know where Uther and the others originally went?"

"...I remember it was Hamunaptra."

Tuya recalled,

"Merian and I have explored there many times, so I didn't pay much attention this time."

She had taken the priests to explore before, and this time Merian brought his son with him, and the place they went to had been thoroughly searched many times. She thought it was just an ordinary exploration, but who knew that such an accident would happen...

Adam nodded and asked again:

"What's the situation in the Ministry of Magic now..."

"Don't worry, there won't be any trouble."

Tuya remembered the letter she received in the morning, and she felt even more sad, but she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart:

"Thank you for coming...By the way, how did you get here so quickly?"

It took less than an hour from the time she received the letter to the time Adam rushed over. Even if he took the road to the Ministry of Magic, he shouldn't have been so fast.

"That's exactly what I want to talk to you about next..."

Adam told Tuya that he had used magic to drive him to Egypt, and proposed to Tuya that he wanted to save Uther.

And then, as expected, he was rejected.

"I don't agree! Your idea is too risky."

Tuya said firmly:

"I am very grateful that you want to save Uther, Adam, but he has already..."

"I can feel that Uther is not dead yet. If we can find the reason why he has become like this, he can still be saved!"

Tuya was stunned by Adam's firm expression, and then sighed:

"If possible, of course I want to save him...Okay, I will try my best to help you."

However, when he saw the help provided by Tuya, Adam was silent.

"Hamnaptra has been cleared countless times. I have led the team to explore it no less than 20 times. We have checked every place that can be entered. They must have made new discoveries when they got into trouble this time."

Tuya looked at the four piles of papyrus in front of her, which were taller than a person, and she was also desperate:

"This is the information that Merian came into contact with before he set out. I want to find the new discovery from it, find out how Uther and his men encountered those dangers, and why they became like that... The amulet can only protect Uther for one day. There is less than half a day left, and I have only checked less than a quarter."

"...Can't you ask someone else for help?"

"Besides Merian and me, the only people who know about Hamnaptra are the priests who didn't come back."

Tuya shook her head:

"I don't care if other people look at these things now, but they don't know which ones have been discovered and which ones are new discoveries."

"...You take your time to look, I should be able to extend the protection for Uther a little longer."

Adam returned to Uther's room and cast a protective magic on Uther.

The protection that can even stop time should be able to prevent the unknown danger from taking Uther's life.

"You kid, you'd better hold on until I come to rescue you..."

Sitting down on the bed, Adam reached out and held Uther's palm. It was still warm, which made Adam feel less palpitation when he saw the broken chest.

"If you want to say goodbye to Bernard and others, go by yourself. Who cares about your pile of junk? If you want money, I can be rich enough to rival a country in a minute... huh?"

Adam suddenly remembered that Uther's decision seemed to be constantly changing.

For example, when he left the letter to Adam, he obviously hadn't planned to write to his mother. He wrote the letter to Tuya after returning to Egypt.

So after he returned to Egypt, before he really set off, would he leave clues that he had not decided to leave when he wrote to Adam? If so, where would he leave them?

Of course, it was where he left the letter for Adam to see!

Thinking of this, Adam quickly bent down and dragged out a box from under Uther's bed.

On the lid of the box was a pair of eyes of Horus. Adam opened the lid without paying attention, and saw a folded papyrus.

"Is this... a map?!"

Should he be thankful that the clue Uther left for him was not a riddle or motto that needed to be deciphered?

Adam immediately took the papyrus to find Tuya, who recognized it as the underground floor of Hamunaptra at a glance, and a passage that Tuya didn't know was marked on the map.

"Where did you find this?"

"In the box mentioned in the letter Uther gave me."

Tuya looked at the map left by her son, then looked at the four piles of information left by her husband, and wiped her tears:

"This bastard is not as reliable as my son... Let's go now!"

"Auntie, tell me the way to Hamunaptra, I will go alone, I can't leave you here now."

Hearing Adam's words, Tuya subconsciously wanted to refute, but looking at the map she was silent again:

"Since Uther chose to leave the clue to you instead of me, then..." Perhaps in her son's heart, if he really got into trouble, Adam would be the one who was more likely to save him?

Finally, Tuya sighed. Her husband died suddenly, and she really couldn't leave this place:

"Be careful!"

Finding a map near Egypt, Tuya drew a circle on the map:

"Hamnaptra has been cast with an unmappable magic. You come to this location on the map, where there is a piece of quicksand. After being swallowed by the quicksand, you will be sent to Hamnaptra... During this period, you must find a way to survive in the quicksand."

Tuya looked into Adam's eyes. If there was any hesitation or worry in Adam's eyes, she would not reveal more information, but let Adam go back.

If even the initial quicksand was barely dealt with, asking Adam to save Uther would just be sending him to his death.

Fortunately, what made her feel relieved but more worried was that Adam's eyes were full of confidence:

"Then what?"

"Then..."

Taking a deep breath, Tuya finally made up her mind and explained the points that needed to be paid attention to on the way to the passage on the map, and Adam wrote them down one by one.

Before leaving, Tuya couldn't help but hold Adam's hand:

"Whether you can save Uther or not, you must pay attention to your own safety. Even if... Uther certainly doesn't want to see you enter the underworld with him."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely bring Uther back."

The situation in Egypt must be somewhat turbulent at this time. In order to avoid trouble, Adam first used a phantom card to cover his figure before leaving Uther's house.

He found many hidden people around Uther's house, perhaps protecting him in secret, or perhaps looking for opportunities, which was not important to Adam.

If Merian was the Pharaoh in the past, then Tuya was the chief priest in the past. Adam believed that Tuya could easily solve these problems.
