“Stand back!”
"My father is in poor health. If anything happens to him, I will not forgive you!"
"Hurry up and leave! Stop dawdling here!"
He just glanced at Remheb and Nantong, then shook his hands impatiently.
That was to send them away quickly.
At this moment, Nan Tong turned his body slightly, and his weathered fingers gently lifted the messy hair that covered his forehead.
Then, a face that did not belong to a local appeared.
At first glance, he looks just like a wandering person.
But if you look closely, you can immediately detect his extraordinary temperament.
Then, a magical light like that of a full moon suddenly flashed in Nan Tong's eyes.
The light was like a cold star streaking across the night sky, brief but very dazzling.
No matter who it is, after seeing this scene, they can immediately make the judgment.
The person in front of me is a magician.
Moreover, he is definitely not an ordinary magician.
The sturdy man was stunned and took two steps back involuntarily. He widened his eyes and looked shocked. "You...you are..."
The old man also froze in place, his lips trembling slightly, his eyes immediately filled with fear: "Could it be! You are..."
Obviously, what they feared was Nan Tong's identity.
Magician.
Nan Tong told Remheb that there was a magician in this city.
The old man's reaction further confirmed this.
He had seen those magicians, and he was afraid of those magicians.
Upon seeing this, Remheb took the opportunity to lift up his turban, revealing his true face.
His skin was fairer than that of the locals, with the luster that was unique to the holy Egyptians.
If you look closely, you can see that his skin color is completely different from the rough skin worn by the wind and sand in this city.
He stood up straight and looked at the old man and the strong man calmly.
The old man blinked and was stunned for a moment.
He could tell that the person in front of him was not from the city, but his tense nerves did not ease at all.
"Who are you two?"
The sturdy man came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva, and even his voice began to tighten: "Who are you?!"
Remheb spoke calmly, and he simply returned the cake in his hand: "I am Remheb, and I am here to take over this city under the order of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"As for this one, he is my...adjutant."
"As you can see, he is a magician."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man and the strong man were both startled.
Then they both knelt down, with their heads almost touching the ground.
The old man's voice trembled with awe: "Sir! You secretly investigated this city in this way, which is really admirable!"
"Please forgive our ignorance for not recognizing your face!"
The strong man also hurriedly echoed: "We are blind and did not recognize you, sir. Please forgive me for my rudeness just now!"
There was no more rudeness in his tone, but instead a hint of panic.
Remheb simply waved his hand to signal them to stand up: "That's not necessary."
"I ask you, Holy Egypt has now recovered Memphis, the City of the Sun, Parsebak, and many other cities that were occupied by the Hebrews."
"Even, he summoned many gods and defeated the Hebrew army. You didn't know about this at all?"
The old man raised his head, his eyes full of surprise.
He just shook his head and said quickly: "We have never heard of this!"
"This city is isolated from the outside world and has only had dealings with the Hebrew Empire for several years. Perhaps they deliberately concealed this information."
He paused, then widened his eyes again: "Sir, is what you said true? Is Holy Egypt so powerful now?"
Remheb nodded, his eyes as determined as a soldier about to go to the battlefield: "It is absolutely true. Under the leadership of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, Holy Egypt has become famous in all corners of the world."
"All the Hebrew gods were defeated by our ancient Egyptian gods."
After hearing this, the old man's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
His eyes seemed to be trembling.
"Has the Sun God Ra really appeared? And who is the Holy Pharaoh?"
He clenched his tattered clothes with both hands, as if he would faint at any time from lack of breath.
Even the strong man couldn't help but ask: "Sir, how could His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh defeat the army of the Hebrew Empire?"
Remheb simply smiled, and his voice immediately turned reverent.
"The gods of Holy Egypt were all summoned by His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"The ancient Egyptian gods and the sun god Ra personally came to the battlefield and were unstoppable."
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is kind and wise. His will can even make the ancient gods submit."
"Everything he does now is to restore the glory of Holy Egypt."
"He not only recovered the lost territory, but also brought peace back to the Egyptian people, away from war and famine."
"He even anticipated the abnormality of this city, so he sent me here to investigate secretly."
Remheb's words were powerful and showed his leadership style.
The old man was stunned when he heard this, tears rolling down his wrinkles: "Sun God Ra...Sun God Ra! Ah! I can hear such news in my lifetime!"
He spoke to himself, as if he was immersed in it: "When I was young, I heard from the priests that the sun god Ra once protected Egypt and illuminated the earth with his divine power."
"But he has been silent for a long time."
“I never thought that I would hear his name again in this life.”
The old man wiped his tears and continued in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency is right. I am ignorant and cannot understand. This is the grace of His Majesty the Holy Egyptian."
"If we had known this earlier, how could we have dared to complain?"
The sturdy man lowered his head, and his gaze completely changed: "If it is really as your Excellency said, then we are committing treason!"
Having said that, the strong man just gritted his teeth and turned his head away.
Remheb looked at him at this time, with a slightly reproachful tone: "Ignorance is not a sin, but since you know that we came from Holy Egypt, why didn't anyone cooperate?"
"Do you understand that if it weren't for the Holy Pharaoh, this city would still be under the rule of the Hebrews. How could you have the peace you have today?"
The old man nodded repeatedly: "Your Excellency is right, it is we who are really blind."
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has both such divine power and a kind heart. He is a blessing to all the people of Egypt!"
Seeing that the time had come, Remheb asked bluntly, "What happened in this city? Why are you so afraid of people who can cast magic?"
"Who on earth instructed the people in the city to keep their stories to themselves and not tell us the truth about what happened?"
The old man just shook his head helplessly.
"Sir, since you asked, I...I dare not hide it."
Upon hearing this, the old man just exchanged a glance with the strong man and said, "Go and get it."
The sturdy man immediately understood, turned and walked into the house, and took out a roll of parchment.
The parchment scroll was covered with densely written words.
Remheb took it and saw the words written on it: "The Only God Apep".
