Chapter 42 Chapter Forty-One

The little green monkey stopped playing, the dog stopped eating, and the donkey's big eyes were filled with tears.Blarney is dead, her husband is missing, and Nefiri, who has suffered drastic changes, has no strength to act. Suti and Cam come to her aid.The military camps ran one by one, the administrative agencies checked one by one, and the public officials asked one by one, hoping to find out even a little bit of news about Pazar's mission. However, they could not knock on any door, nor could they ask a single word. It was only after Nefiri panicked that she realized how much she loved Pazar.It's been so long.She has been hiding her feelings, Shen Bo is too easy to get involved, it is his persistence that opens her closed heart day by day.

She had been fully united with Pazar, and now that they were separated, they would both decay. Without him around.Life also lost its meaning. Nefeli, accompanied by Suti, offered lotus flowers in the chapel at Blarney's tomb. The teacher will not disappear. His mind can communicate with the reborn sun, and his soul will gain energy to go back and forth between the underworld and the dark mausoleum, and emit infinite light. Su Ti was too nervous to pray at all.He walked out of the chapel, picked up a stone and threw it into the distance. Nefiri put her hand on his shoulder and said without hesitation, "I'm sure he will come back."

"I almost forced that damn elder of the gate hall to be speechless several times. But he is really more cunning than a snake. 'Secret mission', he can only say these four words. Now he can't even face me. Gone too." "do you have any plans?" "Go to Asia and find Pazar." "Just go there without a clue?" "I still have some friends in the military." "They helped you?" Suti lowered his eyes and said sadly, "They don't know anything, it's as if Pazar just disappeared in the air! Can you imagine that when he heard the news of the teacher's death, there would be How sad and depressed?"

Nefiri couldn't help feeling chills all over her body, and they left the cemetery together, both hearts clenched even tighter. Baboon police gobble up a chicken leg.Cam, who was physically and mentally exhausted, took a bath in the fragrant warm water in the wooden barrel, and then changed into a clean loincloth.Nefiri had prepared some meat and vegetables for him. "I'm not hungry," Cam said. "How long has it been since you slept?" Nefiri looked at him and asked impatiently. "Three days, maybe a little longer." "no result?" "No. I did my best. But my informants are tight-lipped. I can only be sure of one thing:

Pazar had left Memphis. " "So he might have gone to Asia..." "Leave without saying goodbye?" Even Cam didn't believe it. On the top of the Temple of Ptah, Ramses the Great is gazing intently at this occasionally restless, but most of the time full of joyful city.Outside the white wall, there is a large green farmland, and beyond that is the desert where the dead live.After presiding over more than ten hours of long ceremony, the pharaoh enjoyed the cool and pleasant night air on the roof alone. At court, in the courts, in the provinces, it was business as usual.The threatening force seemed to go away with the current.

However, Ramses remembered the prophecy of the sage Ipuul. He said that thieves would increase day by day, the Aurum Tower would be invaded, and the secrets of power would fall into the hands of some villains. In order to satisfy his desire for power and crazy ideas, They will destroy the millennium civilization of Egypt. When he was a child, whenever he read this famous article under the strict supervision of his teacher, he always felt angry and aggrieved by the pessimism between the lines: Once he becomes the throne, this prophecy must be destroyed forever!He was too conceited and frivolous, and he even forgot that no one can pull out the root of evil in human hearts, even Pharaoh!

Now, despite the flattery and flattery of hundreds of courtiers, he is like a traveler lost in the desert. He must break the dark cloud alone, otherwise the sun will soon be covered.Ramses was too lucid for this to be a hallucination. In fact, this battle has already been lost, because he doesn't know the face of the enemy at all, let alone take the initiative to attack.He, a prisoner of his own country, a victim of the most terrible and clumsy actions, his soul was gnawed mercilessly as if he had an incurable disease, he was once the most praised king of Egypt, but now he has to So sad to step down.

Like a swamp sunk in silt.In order to preserve his last dignity, he must accept the arrangement of fate without making cowardly pleas. When the conspirators met again, everyone had a sincere smile on their lips.They are grateful for the success of the strategy, which brought them another step towards a better future.Doesn't opportunity belong to the winner?Though they had had a word or two against each other, or someone's actions, or someone's negligence, in this moment of triumph, on the eve of the birth of a new nation, all bad feelings melted away.The blood that flowed was no longer remembered, and the last trace of guilt was blown away with the wind.

Everyone did their job well, and no one was knocked down by Judge Pazar; this group of conspirators who never panicked or misunderstood showed incomparable cohesion among each other, and this precious power was even more important in Indispensable for the distribution of power in the near future. Now there was only one last procedure left to rid the phantom Judge Pazar forever. The braying of the donkey alerted Nefiri to the presence of ill-intentioned people.It was already midnight, she lit the lamp, opened the window and looked at the road.Two soldiers were knocking on her door.They heard the sound of the window, looked up, and asked, "Are you Nefiri?"

"I am, but..." "Please come with us." "what's the matter?" "Orders from superiors." "What if I don't go?" "We have to use force." The warrior growled in a low voice. Nefiri could have woken the neighbors loudly, but instead she calmed the dog, put on her shawl and came downstairs.The arrival of these two soldiers should be related to Pazar's mission.She can't care about her own safety anymore, as long as she can find out some reliable news, it's good. The three of them walked through the sleeping urban area with stiff steps, heading for the main barracks.Arriving safely, the soldiers handed Nefili over to an officer who, without a word, took Nefili to General Asher's office.

Asher sat on the straw mat with straw paper scattered all over the floor.Concentrating on his work, he said without twitching, "Nefeli, sit down." "I'm still standing." "Would you like some warm milk?" Nefiri didn't answer, and asked directly: "Why did you come to me at such a strange time?" The general suddenly asked in a very fierce tone: "Do you know why Pazar left?" "He left before he could tell me." "He's so stubborn! He doesn't want to accept the fact of failure, so he wants to find the dead body that doesn't exist. Why does he hate me so much and insist on biting me?" "Pazar is the judge and it is his duty to find the truth." "The truth was revealed during the court hearing, but he doesn't like the truth. He is only willing to let me lose my job and ruin my reputation." "General, I'm not interested in your mood. You have nothing else to say?" "Yes, Nefiri." Asher spread out a piece of paper and said, "This document has been stamped by the elder of the gate hall, and the content is confirmed. I received it within less than an hour." "What...is written in it?" Nefiri asked in a trembling voice. "Pazar is dead." Nefiri closed her eyes.She really hopes to disappear like a withered lotus flower, and she really hopes to be blown away by the wind without a trace. "It was an accident. It happened on a mountain trail." The general explained, "Pazar is not familiar with the terrain. He is still as reckless as usual, but this time the risk is too great." Nefiri felt every word she uttered burn her throat like fire, but she still had to ask, "When can the body be brought back?" "We're still looking, but there's little hope. The current is fast and the canyon terrain is too dangerous to enter and search. I'm sorry for you, Nefiri, Pazar is a very good man." "There is no justice in the world anymore," Cam said, surrendering his weapon. "Have you seen Suti again?" Nefiri asked worriedly. "Even if he breaks his leg, he will not come back until he finds Pazar. He believes that his friend is not dead." "But what if..." Cam shook his head. "I'll continue with his last investigation," she said firmly. "useless." "Evil should not be allowed to triumph." "But usually it's the evil side that wins." "No, Kem, if that was the case, Egypt would not exist. This country was built on the foundation of justice, and that is what Pazar wants to continue. We have no right to give in to lies." Seeing Nefiri's righteousness, Kaim couldn't help admiring him. "I will support you, Nefiri. " Nefiri sat by the canal, where she and Pazar had first met. The footsteps of winter were approaching again, and the strong wind blew the turquoise necklace around Nefiri's neck shaking from side to side.Why didn't the precious amulet work to protect him?Nefiri hesitated, and began to stroke the gem with her thumb and forefinger, thinking of Hador, the mother of turquoise and goddess of love. Stars began to appear, as if leaping in and out of another life; she had a strong feeling that the loved one was close by, and the line of death seemed to blur suddenly. A strange idea gave her hope again: the soul of the murdered teacher Blarney might guard his students!Yes, Pazar will be back. Yes, the Egyptian judge will surely sweep away the darkness and let the light come again. After "Egyptian Trilogy I" and "Murder the Pyramids", please see "Egyptian Trilogy II" and "Desert Law"
