Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 37 Anubis and Set look alike

Lin You intentionally controlled the intensity when he used Legilimency. Not only did the other party not notice it at all, but it also did not affect the other party's normal actions and thinking.

What he wanted to see was not the ancient Egyptian knowledge in the professor's mind - in fact, he couldn't see it even if he wanted to. Because most of the time, human memory is fragmentary, not as detailed as the cause and effect of the movie, and not as clear as the book.

This magic is used to monitor whether the other party intends to lie.

Experienced wizards can falsify memories and thoughts, which a Muggle who has never been exposed to magic would certainly not be aware of.

The professor approached the Black Book of the Dead tremblingly, examined it carefully, and quickly found what Lin You wanted.

This simple prayer at most contained a little of the mystery and weirdness of ancient Egyptian religious worship, as well as the fanaticism and flattery of the person praying, and did not contain any other dangerous information; so the professor gave the answer readily without any thought of trying to deceive.

He even helped Lin You correct some of his less-than-standard pronunciations.

After learning what he wanted, Lin You sincerely thanked the professor: "I fell unconscious and forgot everything."

He did not forget to give another set of treatment to the Americans who had fainted earlier.

After clearing the area, the next step is naturally the highlight.

"Noble, majestic, and upright Anubis, the god of death feared by all the dead, please listen to my prayer..." Lin You chanted the prayer in ancient Egyptian. The microcosmic power deep in his soul was mobilized as much as possible, and unique energy was deliberately added to certain important words.

The Ophiuchus microcosm is the only God-related power that Lin You possesses; although he doesn't know whether the microcosm that has not yet awakened can be effective, he can only try it at this moment.

Fortunately, the result of the attempt gave him a pleasant surprise.

Apart from the complicated honorifics added by the ancient Egyptian priests, the most important thing in the prayer is Anubis's priesthood and name.

For example, the pronunciation of "Anubis" is actually the pronunciation translated by the ancient Greeks. According to the pronunciation of ancient Egyptian, it should be written as "Anpu".

Whenever he thought of Anubis's priesthood and name, Lin You's vocal cords would vibrate with the energy of the microcosm; this vibration was invisible but substantial, layer upon layer, breaking through the limited space underground and spreading toward the depths of the even more remote and profound earth.

This strange reaction may be related to the peculiarity of the Black Book of the Dead itself; what is recorded in the book is the knowledge left by the god of death to the mortal world, and these prayers are likely to be chosen by the god of death himself to facilitate communication between believers and him.

Although Lin You is not a believer in Anubis, he has a microcosm of Ophiuchus with divine characteristics in his soul; he recites the name of God and activates God's spells with divinity, and the effect is comparable to that of the most devout Anubis believer in those days.

Mortals cannot hear this strange sound, nor can they feel the energy shocks occurring in high latitudes, but their intuition tells them that something big is happening nearby; in a trance they will mistakenly feel that the earth is shaking beneath their feet, but when they come to their senses they will find that everything is calm again.

This is the energy vibration that invisibly stimulates everyone's soul.

Inside and outside the ancient city, on the ground and underground, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked around for the reason for this sudden "soul-touching" feeling, but found nothing.

Lin You also gained nothing.

Although he could "see" the vibration of divine energy and feel that the shock wave had opened a mysterious passage that led to nowhere, there was silence at the other end of the mysterious passage, and there was no echo. The "sound" created by the agitation of the microcosm went from high to lonely, and finally completely calmed down.

Lin You closed the book with a gloomy look on his face.

Anubis did not respond. He was either being drawn over by Jupiter or being controlled or even killed by Jupiter. Judging from the overall peaceful situation in the mummy world, the former possibility was more likely.

"Hoo-ho-ho... Ho-ho-ho-ho..." A hoarse laughter echoed in Lin You's ears, sounding very much like a jackal's threatening snoring in its throat.

As the laughter sounded, a shadow appeared on the stone wall, swaying with the flickering firelight. The shadow had human limbs and torso, but a beast's head; a long, curved mouth, and two rectangular ears standing high on top of the head.

"Are you giving up so soon? Why don't you try again?"

Lin Youyi spread his hands: "For a god, if He is willing to respond, He would have responded the first time I called His name. Since there is no response, there is no need to waste time."

The shadow sneered twice: "You restless little devil, a mere mortal, dares to cause trouble in the dispute among the gods. If it weren't for Jupiter's request, when you stepped into Hamunaptra, I would have broken your neck, torn your flesh and blood, and made you into dinner tonight."

"Come on, you are immortal, and so am I. Don't scare people with things you can't do or achieve." Lin You was unmoved. "I'm more curious about another thing, Set. How did you convince Anubis to stand on your side so quickly? Is it because you look like him?"

The shadow on the wall is the personification of the ancient Egyptian war and desert body; some say it has a jackal head, while others say it has an aardvark head. No matter which one, it is always similar to Anubis with a jackal head.

Set's voice was similar to his laughter, both with a harsh hoarseness: "It's not so much that we persuaded Anubis, but rather that the gods of the great world pushed him to our side."

"Oh?" Lin You asked curiously, "How do you mean?"

Set sneered, "You work for the gods of the Big World and have integrated so many story worlds. Have they never explained to you how they persuaded the gods of other story worlds to participate in the Big World plan?"

"From your tone, it seems like there's something shameful going on here?"

Set's laughter became even more shrill: "The process of their persuasion is not just about 'talking'. Not every god is willing to be a puppet for others."

“But I don’t understand.” Lin You’s doubts were not fake. “After a few decades or a hundred years in the real dimension, the influence of those independent stories will fade, and the corresponding story world will be completely destroyed. Being able to integrate into the big world and ensure its own existence, even if it is downgraded to a certain aspect of the god or an avatar, it still retains a great degree of freedom. I think the conditions set by the gods of the big world are still quite tolerant.”

"Yes, that's why, in addition to Anubis, we have to spend more time to convince other gods in this world." Set said angrily, "Not every god has the courage to reject the conditions of the big world."

Lin You suddenly sneered: "If I continue to look for the Golden Scripture of the Sun, will you stop me, or will you sit back and watch me laugh like you did just now?"
