Chapter 620 Pharaoh Guard

Blaze was often curious about why royal nobles liked to hang portraits of themselves or their experiences in the aisles.

The Arcadia royal family has drawn exquisite portraits of the kings and lords of all generations. Sometimes, it is not a portrait, but a moment of outstanding contribution.

It is said that Audrey's portrait has not been painted yet, firstly because a suitable painter has not been found, and secondly because the subject of the painting has not been available.

The owner, or rather the masters of this tomb, made various stories into murals, telling an ancient story.

The lower level of the mausoleum was a prison for sinners who believed in snakes and climbed the ladder to heaven to rebel against the sun. The upper level was the path for the ruler named "Pharaoh" to climb the ladder to heaven and the magnificent palace where he lived.

From the mural, it seems that they are walking on a ladder leading to the sun, and they will see the sun after walking through the 12th floor. But there seems to be something above the sun, but due to the limited space, only the sun can be seen.

Blazer had not forgotten that this upper level once pointed downward, so the mural could also be viewed upside down.

The mural then became a picture of a sun with twelve steps, and the pharaohs' pilgrimage-like steps became somewhat menacing, while the snake believers looked like they were in a carnival.

There are two interpretations of this mural.

One is to use the [sun falling into the ground] to represent the decline of the sun, which no longer has its former majesty. The pharaohs who believe in it begin to show disrespect to the sun and bare their fangs, while the snake believers watch the pharaohs who are disrespectful to the sun, cheering and dancing.

There is another situation that Blazer prefers, the sun underground.

This sun has the same properties as the sun in the sky, but is completely opposite, so it is pressed under the twelve steps, and the pharaohs are trying to defeat this sun.

Amaterasu must be very clear about the matter of the sun, but in this ladder leading to the sun, summoning the sun would undoubtedly cause some unusual chain reactions, and Blaze could only keep this question in mind for the time being.

As Blaze approached the top of the pyramid, the guards guarding the tomb appeared.

[Pharaoh Guard LV85]

[They were the loyal guards of the pharaohs when they were alive, and they continued to protect the pharaohs in the form of mummies after their death. They gave up going to the reed plains and voluntarily let their souls be imprisoned in their bodies, exchanging their eternal restlessness for the pharaoh's peace in life.]

The appearance of the Pharaoh's guards was full of the routines that foreigners talked about. They stood in the coffin-shaped depressions on both sides of the aisle with weapons in hand, like guards.

Blazer didn't need to get close to know that the mummies in this aisle would definitely launch a sudden attack and ambushed him when he passed by.

That's the problem. Blaze has to go over there, but the situation of having to step into the trap makes him feel suffocated.

So, Blaze summoned the Shadow Werewolf and asked this guy to walk forward to trigger the Pharaoh's guards, so that he would not be counted as stepping into the trap.

The shadow werewolf was very dissatisfied, and it didn't want to step into this corridor that looked like a trap, but Blaze only asked it to take one step forward.

With this step, the Pharaoh's guards on both sides of the aisle opened their eyes instantly and turned their heads to look at the shadow werewolf. Then they opened their mouths and screamed, waving their weapons and slashing at him.

The fighting power of the shadow werewolf was amazing. With a wave of his strong right arm, he smashed a row of Pharaoh guards into the wall. He smashed his left fist downwards and knocked off the head of a mummy guard.

"It looks easy." Blaze turned his head to look at the remains of the Pharaoh's guard on the ground. As expected, the remains were crawling on the ground, looking for the owner of the body.

The mummy series of monsters in this tomb all seem to have more or less the ability to be immortal.

The mural roughly describes the Nile totem, in which the souls of all living beings will leave their bodies when they sleep, and they will die every day and be resurrected in the morning. When the body truly dies and is made into an immortal mummification, they become eternal beings.

In other totems, or even in any era, death is an extremely terrible thing, but in [Nero], death is the moment to usher in eternal life.

"Maybe this totem is the one that was at the bottom at the beginning." Blaze waved his hand towards the chicken.

"The underworld is a world where only the dead can stand on the ground, and only this totem that is truly immortal after death can survive there."

"Alas - I have never paid attention to it, but if that is the case, then didn't they live underground when they were alive?"

Chicken said casually, but Blaze was lost in thought.

This speculation is not without reason, but he believes that it is not the underground, but the underworld. Perhaps the underworld has more traces of the Age of Gods, but whether the upheaval will affect the underworld is another uncertain factor.

"Anyway, we'll find out when we go and see. I remember that you and the stranger agreed to stay for an hour. Let's hurry up and move on."

"Ah."

Blaze took a step forward and joined the battle with the Pharaoh's guards.

After experiencing it for himself, Blaze confirmed that the Pharaoh's Guard was quite powerful. Like him, it did not have any fancy skills, but only very high attributes.

The immortality is a bit troublesome. Even if you take away their weapons, they will continue to fight and Blaze cannot move forward.

Although there is still a lot of time left before the appointment with the stranger, Blaze always likes to prepare for the future. It would be bad if there was a boss blocking the way.

What if, during the battle with this BOSS, the stranger activated the pyramid reversal, and as a result, the BOSS changed its form when life and death were exchanged? Wouldn't that be equivalent to losing an extra blood?

"Oh! I have a new discovery. These Pharaoh's guards are the Pharaoh's servants, so only the Pharaoh can command them." The chicken studied the totem and found useful information from it.

"The command spell should be here... This is Nero's writing, I don't recognize it!"

"I know it!" Blaze saw the pictographic characters through the chicken's eyes. He didn't recognize them, but his skill [Translation] allowed him to recognize and speak these characters.

"I command you in the name of Ra. Obey my command!"

The Pharaoh's guards immediately put away their weapons and stood side by side on both sides like loyal guards.

Easter eggs from the old movie "The Mummy".

[Pharaoh's Guards] are immortal enemies. They will be resurrected no matter how many times you attack them. If you are accidentally discovered by them, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

However, if one finds the spell on the mural and recites it, one can make this group of undead [Pharaoh Guards] become one's servants within a certain range.
