Chapter 1190 Maat Law

The Louvre is not big, it is not small, but it is not so big that a living person will disappear out of thin air.

Severus and Gonseil searched the Sully Pavilion for a long time, but there was no sign of Pomona, as if she had gone home from the exhibition.

This is what every tourist who visits the Louvre will do in the end. After all, they don't live here. However, combined with the current situation, it becomes very strange.

"Are you sure Hathor is the god of light?" Severus asked Conseil.

"She is the goddess of marriage and family, and that seems to me bright enough," replied Conseil.

"Isn't that the job of Isis?" Severus said. "I thought Hathor was a goddess like Venus who only represented love."

"Isn't love beautiful?"

Severus smiled and shook his head.

"You'll find out later, she can drive you crazy."

Gong Saiyi thought for a while, half understanding, and then curled his lips. "The inside of the temple represents order, and the wall represents keeping chaos out. It is true that the gods representing chaos are brought into the temple to worship..."

"Priest Amon has no problem with Pharaoh worshiping Hathor?" Severus asked.

"Do you remember what I told you, the queen masters the religious rituals?" Gong Saiyi said, "The biggest threat to the Pharaoh is because they participated in the battle for the succession of the Pharaoh. For a long time, the priests of Amon It is the female priests, whose main job is to sacrifice, and act as the chief manager of the pharaoh, manage a large area of ​​land to cultivate, and then support the priests, "

"What's the difference between a female priest and a male priest?"

"Whether they are married in the world or not, they have only one husband, the god Amon. Priests of Amon are allowed to marry, and polygamy is practiced in Egypt..."

"I see." Severus understood what Gonseil was saying.

"I once read a scroll that said that there was an Amon priest named Patanse who stole gold and silver that should not belong to him from the Valley of the Kings. He asked a wise man to help him heal his illness, and a ghost would come They laughed when they talked, and when Patanse asked how long he had to live, the ghost didn't tell him at first, until he cast a curse on the ghost to anger Osiris, and the ghost told Patanse that he had 40 days to live, Patansai told his wife the news, and in the following days he had been preparing for his funeral, and even had a dispute with other Amun priests over 500 pieces of silver. Later, Patansai died, and it happened to be a ghost On the day prophesied, my teacher believed that it was his fellow priests who caused Patanse's death, rather than the curse of stealing property. In other words, Patanse's actions fulfilled the ghost's prophecy, If he hadn't fought for the 500 pieces of silver, maybe he wouldn't have died."

"Do you have a teacher?"

"Don't you think I'm self-taught?" Gonceil said, "They don't openly recruit students. My parents gave me an Egyptian artifact collected by my grandfather, so he was willing to teach me."

Severus raised an eyebrow.

"That topaz sphere we identified for you is not from ancient Egypt."

"Collecting Egyptian cultural relics is not popular now, and people always have to eat." Goncey said, "Besides, I can continue to study after I leave him."

"Priestess," Severus sighed. "What trick are they playing?"

"Have you ever been a best man?" asked Conseil.

"No."

"Then you don't know what methods they can come up with." Gong Saiyi said painfully as if recalling an unbearable memory, "Believe me, don't easily agree to be someone else's best man."

"What do we do next?" Severus asked.

"At least know where she ended up," said Conseil.

So the two returned to the place where they split up just now.

“Appare vestigium.”

As a cloud of gold dust spewed from Gonceil's wand, footprints soon appeared on the ground.

The number of tourists who came to the Syria Pavilion was already low, and with the fact that the museum was closed for cleaning yesterday, there were fewer footprints left on the ground.

There is a pair of footprints that are very small, even smaller than the feet of ordinary women, and look like the footprints of a child.

The two followed the footprints, and they came to exhibition hall 325 in a short time.

The inside is empty, there is nothing, and they have been here before, but the footprints on the ground disappeared at the door of this exhibition hall.

"Reveal the secret." Conseil pointed around with his wand, but there was no response.

"What do you want?" Severus asked.

No one answered him.

"No one disappears out of thin air," said Conseil. "She must have entered some magical trap."

"Before coming to France, there was also a disappearance case in the British subway." Severus said, "I reminded her to be careful."

"I've heard the legend that someone got off the wrong station and disappeared on the subway," Gonceil said.

"The Egyptian artifacts in the British Museum are no less than those in the Louvre. What have we forgotten?"

"Nefel Tari." Gong Sei thought for a while and said, "Her tomb is in the Valley of the Queens. Although the funerary objects and mummies inside were stolen, the murals on the walls of the tomb have been perfectly preserved. She is very good at Play Senet chess."

"Then what?"

"I have heard another story about a prince who found a chest containing a secret scroll at the bottom of a lake. Thoth wished him to keep the secret, but the prince opened the scroll, so Thoth sent the devil to take his His wife and children were drowned in the Nile." Gonseil looked at Severus' face and said cautiously, "The prince wanted to resurrect his wife and children, and the god Thoth made him play senet with the devil, Every time the prince wins a game, one can be resurrected, but if he loses, the devil will take the prince's life and soul, so for the prince, this is a chess game that can only be won, not lost."

Severus looked at Conseil calmly.

"Wait, I have a spell here." Gonceil began to rummage in his purse, and finally found a very old notebook.

"What is this spell for?"

"If you recite the spell correctly, you will get the scribe's writing tablet given by Thoth. The queen is not only a priest, she is also a scribe. I remember that the documents left by Nefertari are very At least, there is a letter she wrote to the queen of Haiti, which records the negotiations on ending the dispute between the two countries. The queens in the New Kingdom period are not like those in the Old Kingdom period. They are just subordinates of the king. The queens have great power. I think that Nefertari is not only beautiful, but also has extraordinary wisdom, so she is regarded as the incarnation of the goddess Hathor by the Egyptians. In fact, Egypt ruled by Ramses II is also a prosperous dynasty in history. One, your wife..."

Conseil suddenly fell silent at this point.

"And what did she do?" Severus asked.

"She said something disrespectful to the goddess." Goncei flicked through the notebook "She seems to think that Pharaoh doesn't really love Nefertari."

Severus sighed.

"So it's not all our fault that she's in the situation she's in, it's part of her own fault," said Conseil mercilessly. "I've never seen a woman who dared to speak like that to Venus."

"Have you found the spell yet?" Severus said impatiently.

"This is it." Gonseil handed the notebook to Severus. It was full of hieroglyphics, but they were all colored and looked very bright. "This is the text in Nefertari's tomb, meaning It's 'I swear, I fulfill the law of Mayat', which means being just and upright..."

"What did you say?" Severus interrupted Gonseil.

"Is there any question?" Conseil asked curiously.

The muscles in Severus' face trembled.

"What if I don't keep my oath?" Severus asked after a moment.

"I think the other party invited Nefertari to be the referee." Goncey thought for a while and said, "If even Cupid is not fair, how can there be justice in this world?"

"Is Osiris unjust?" Severus asked.

"Did you forget where I got this amulet from?" Goncey showed Severus the scarab amulet he got from the pensieve, and then hung it on the necklace around his neck and put it next to his body "in order to avoid The eyes of Osiris, the corrupt officials and the tomb-robbing priests have tried everything. If they really get eternal life, I think there is nothing better than watching the tomb-robbers remove their hard-earned funerary objects. But there is nothing more cruel punishment can be done.”

"How do you know it's not Nefertari who meddles in his own business?"

"Even if she tricked you, what can you do?" asked Conseil. "Do you still want to take revenge on Venus?"

Severus was at a loss for words.

"Follow me." Gong Saiyi pointed to the hieroglyphs and said, "This is an ancient Egyptian spell. If you accidentally read the wrong spell, you may be entangled in misfortune for the rest of your life like that Egyptian prince. Our next The clue might be in that tablet."
