The heat was unbearable, and in the courtyard of the torture camp, there was only one black scorpion crawling around in the sand.This prison camp is located in the desolate area between the Nile Valley and the Kaji Oasis, more than 200 kilometers away from the holy city of Karnak to the east.When the temperature is lower, they are responsible for maintaining the path between the valley and the oasis, so that the donkey team can transport the goods. The person in charge of the prison camp is tall and burly, and anyone who does not observe discipline may be severely beaten by him at any time.Judge Pazar had appealed to him more than ten times. "I can't stand this kind of special treatment. I want to work with others."

Pazar was a slender man with light brown hair, a broad, high forehead, and gray-green eyes.After all these sufferings, he is no longer young, but the noble temperament he exudes invisibly still makes people awe-inspiring. "You are different from others." The person in charge said to him. "I'm also a prisoner." "You have not been sentenced, you have been held in secret detention. To me, you do not exist. Your name is not on the roster, and you have no identification number." "Even so, I can still chisel stones." "Go back and sit down."

The person in charge of the prison camp did not dare to take this judge lightly.After all, he once interrogated the famous General Asher, and his best friend Suti even publicly accused the general of torturing and murdering an Egyptian scout, and colluding with the Bedouins and Libyans, the Egyptian enemies, for treason. The soldier's body was not found at the location identified by Suti, so the jury could not convict the general and could only announce an extension of the investigation.However, the investigative process was quickly brought to an end, as Pazar fell into a trap and became a suspect in the murder of his mentor, the sage Blarney, who would soon be High Priest of Karnak Temple.The police arrested him as an active criminal.And in the name of eunuch Gu law, he was transferred to prison camp.

Pazar sat cross-legged on the hot sand.He kept thinking about his wife, Nefiri.For a long time, he thought that he would never get her love, but unexpectedly, happiness came suddenly, and it was as violent as Xia Yang.It's a pity that this happiness came and went suddenly, and he was expelled from that happy paradise overnight, and it may be hopeless to return to it in the future. At this moment, a hot wind suddenly blew, blowing sand—stinging the skin, but Pazar, who was wrapped in a white cloth on his head, didn't seem to care, he—he only thought about the investigation process. He was just a little judge from the provinces lost in the big city of Memphis, and he really shouldn't pay attention to that strange document, nor should he show a serious attitude.He discovers that the deaths of the five honor guards at Giza were actually a murder disguised as accident;

But he did not have enough evidence to prove the crime of General Asher, and his attempt to overthrow Ramses the Great. Doom struck him just as he was given the Prime Minister's mandate to piece together these individual events. Pazar remembered every minute of the night when the accident happened.First, an anonymous letter informed the teacher that Blarney was in danger; then he ran across the streets of the city in a panic; then he found the teacher's body with a shell needle stuck in his neck; finally the chief of police appeared He immediately arrested Pazar as a suspect; he was sent to this prison camp under the secret plan of the elders of the highest judge in Memphis; after all this, he could only fall into despair and pain alone , while the truth remains unclear.

The plot this time was perfect.Originally, with Blarney's support, Pazar could enter the temple and find out who stole the divine iron.However, the teacher, like those retired soldiers, was exterminated by a group of mysterious figures with malicious intentions.Pazar has learned that these people are all foreigners, including a woman and several men. He even suspects that the chemist Shech, the dentist Kadash, and a rich, influential but not honest transporter Dai Nice's wife, but in the end it was just an unfounded suspicion. Pazar endured the heat, wind and sand, and rough food, because he wanted to live, he wanted to hold Nefiri in his arms again, and he wanted to see justice and justice blossom and bear fruit again.

How does his superior, the elder of the sect hall, explain his disappearance?What rumors have been spread about him? Although there is no security in this prison camp facing the mountain, it is impossible to escape.How far can you go with just one pair of feet?They've kept him here just to drain him, and when he's tortured, exhausted, hopeless, he's bound to start babbling like a poor madman. However, he believes that Nefeli and Suti will not give up. They are still looking for him in all parts of Egypt despite the lies and slander from the outside world.As time slips by, he must persevere.

* * * The five conspirators meet again at their usual abandoned farmstead.The atmosphere was very pleasant, and all developments were within their expectations—invading the Great Jinyu Pagoda of Cheaps, and stole the golden elbow symbolizing power and the will of the gods, making Ramses the Great lose his legal status. mark. They are getting closer and closer to their final goal. Whether it is murdering the five guards of the Sphinx, and then invading the underground passage leading to the Aurum Tower, or eliminating Judge Pazar, it is just a trivial matter, and they have long been abandoned. I have gone to cloud nine.

"The only trouble now is that Ramses is still holding on." One of them said. "We have to be patient." "Tell yourself." "I'm talking about everyone, we still need a little time to lay the foundations of our future empire. The more Ramses is restrained, the more incapable of action, the more self-consciously on the road to destruction, the easier it will be for us to succeed. He cannot reveal to anyone that the pyramids have been invaded or that the energy center he is in charge of is no longer functioning." "His power will soon be exhausted, and then he will have to perform a regeneration ritual."

"Who will force him?" One person asked uncertainly. "Tradition, priests, and himself! He cannot escape this responsibility." "After the ceremony, he will have to show the people the will of the gods..." "And this will is in our hands..." "When the time comes, Ramses will have to give up the throne to the heir." "It might even be up to us to designate it!" The five of them have already begun to enjoy the sweet taste of victory.They will not give Ramses the Great any chance to choose, he is bound to become a slave.Everyone who participates in the plan will be paid according to their merits, and everyone will occupy a high position.The largest country in the world will soon belong to them; they will change the structure of institutions, replace new blood, and make the whole country look completely new, completely different from the period when the deposed Emperor Ramses ruled.

While waiting for the time to come, they work hard to build relationships and win hearts and minds.Murder, bribery, violence...everything is used, and no one feels guilty.Such a price must be paid in order to gain power.
