Chapter 2082 Curse
"The Pharaoh's Curse?"
Seeing the words written in the navigation journal, Dorothy was slightly startled, then immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately wrote it in the book.
"Can you explain more clearly what is going on?"
Dorothy finished writing, and then watched the words on the page gradually sink, and soon after, Nephthys' words reappeared.
"I don't know the specific situation right now... I am taking a carriage home with my housekeeper, so it is inconvenient for me to write too much right now."
Seeing Nephnesse's reply, Dorothy paused and wrote an immediate response.
"Then don't write anything for now. I will take the initiative to check on your situation. Just don't resist."
Dorothy finished writing, then closed the "Wenhai Navigation Journal" on the table, closed her eyes and began to use the information channel to connect Nefernis's visual and auditory senses.

The moon rose higher and the night deepened. Thick darkness had enveloped the huge capital. The lights in most houses had been turned off, and only the rows of street lamps on both sides of the street were still shining. A chilly autumn wind blew through the street, and only a homeless man shivering with cold was huddled on the roadside.
Somewhere in East Tivian, the lights in a decent-sized detached villa were bright at this moment, and servants were busy inside and outside the house. On the third floor of the house, in a large bedroom, there was a big bed, and lying on the bed was a middle-aged man.
The man had dark skin, a mustache, and an ugly face. He was lying on the bed in pajamas, covered with a quilt, looking completely asleep. On the left side of his bed were two anxious-looking servants. On the right side of the bed was Nefernis, who looked even more anxious, and an old man in butler's clothes, with gray hair and dark skin.
"Dad, wake up, can you hear me? I'm Neve, I'm here, Dad..."
Standing beside the bed, Nephnis held the man's hand and said with a worried look, but the man lying on the bed did not respond at all to such a call, still with his eyes closed, without saying a word.
"It's useless, miss. The master is completely unconscious now. He can't listen to anything." The old butler standing aside said in a serious tone. After hearing the old butler's words, Nephnis immediately stood up and said to him.
"Grandpa Nust, what happened to my father? He just wrote to me not long ago, how come he suddenly..."
Listening to Nefernis's words, the old butler named Nust couldn't help but sigh and murmured.
"Alas... maybe this is fate, a fate that cannot be avoided..."
With a sigh, Nust glanced around and then spoke to the servants.
"It's getting late, you all should go back and rest."
"yes."
Following Nust's words, the several servants who stayed at the scene retreated, and then Nust looked at Nefernis beside him.
"Miss, please come to the study with me to discuss the specific situation."
After listening to Nust's words, Nephnis nodded, then followed him out of the bedroom and came home. After going up one more floor, they came into a study together.
In the study, after confirming that no one was outside, Nust closed the door, looked at Nefernis, and spoke.
"Miss, because of the old master's instructions, I have been hiding many important things that have a bearing on you. The old master originally wanted to keep you and the master away from danger and keep you safe and normal, but fate has it that way, and this matter cannot be concealed..."
Nust said so, and listening to his words, Nephnis was startled and had some premonitions in her heart.
"Grandpa Nust, what exactly did my grandpa ask you to hide? Does this have anything to do with my father's current situation? This is related to the curse you said in the car earlier..."
Listening to Nefernis's words, Nust was silent for a moment. He turned his eyes to the wall of the study, where there was a portrait hanging. In the portrait, there were two young men in exploration clothes carrying a bunch of tools. Their skin was one dark and one white. They both smiled at the camera. Behind them was a tall, huge, but ruined pyramid.
"Miss, the old master once told you that when he was young, he once ventured into northern Ufeija, where he made a fortune by robbing ancient tombs and ruins, and built the Boyle family's current business."
Nust said while looking at Nefernis, who nodded in response to Nust's words.
"Yes, when I was little, my grandfather often told me stories about his adventures when he was young. I grew up listening to his stories. I still remember what he said about the dangerous traps and poisonous snakes in the ancient tombs, as well as the bandits in the desert. Thinking about it now, it still feels very dangerous..."
Nefernis recalled and said this, after which Nust continued to look at the old photos and spoke.
"Traps... poisonous snakes... bandits... these are indeed dangerous, but they are not the most dangerous. Miss, the old master will not tell you what the real fear is buried under the yellow sand thousands of feet deep... the danger from the ancient supernatural world... is countless times greater than these mundane dangers."
"From ancient times, extraordinary..."
"Yes, this may be beyond your understanding for a moment, but please remember that the world we see is far from as simple as it seems. In those ancient tombs and ruins, the old master and I can more easily come into contact with the horrifying things hidden beneath the surface of this world...some things that only exist in legends.
"Undead... evil spells... demonic beasts... curses... these are all extraordinary threats that can be found under the yellow sands of northern Ufica. Even the most experienced explorers and tomb robbers will seem powerless in the face of these threats... But among these threats, the one that we fear the most is the curse."
