Chapter 1326: Help
"Ivy, how come you have time to call me?" Professor Fred quickly answered the call, his voice revealing a bit of concern: "It should still be early for you, right?"
"It's not too late. I just woke up and will be going downstairs soon!" Nie Yao smiled and whispered to her adoptive father, "Dad, how are you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm currently busy with a project. Otherwise, I'd come over when I'm free to see how you and Steve are doing!"
Professor Fred said this and asked with a smile: "Ivy, tell me, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Nie Yao responded honestly and smiled, "Yes, Dad, I really can't hide anything from you!"
She briefly explained to her adoptive father the meeting Director Tawfik had arranged for her and Steve to attend last night, and the results of the armory inspection. Finally, she added, "It's not surprising that there are weapons from the time of Thutmose III in the armory. But I can't understand why there are also weapons from the time of Seti I and Ramses II!"
"Ivy, have you forgotten that the Luxor Temple and the Karnak Temple were both built by Ramses II, building on the foundations of the previous 18 dynasties?"
Professor Fred on the other end of the phone reminded with a faint smile.
"Of course I haven't forgotten, but the temples are all outside, and this underground palace is different. No one has ever discovered it before. When we excavated it, we didn't find any signs of theft or excavation!" Nie Yao explained with a frown.
"Why, can't someone have the key to open this underground palace and then go in?" Professor Fred asked patiently.
Nie Yao was stunned for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Dad, are you saying that although this underground palace was built by Priest Senmut for Queen Hat, some descendants have occasionally entered with the key?"
Professor Fred nodded and responded with a smile: "It's not impossible..."
Nie Yao also felt that this possibility was the most reasonable at the moment, and whispered, "I actually had a very strange dream last night. I dreamed of a young girl who was called "Princess Highness" by the Senmut priest. In the dream, the Senmut priest had arranged for the princess to leave the palace, and what she was holding in her hand seemed to be a blueprint of the underground palace!"
She paused here, then hesitantly asked her adoptive father on the other end of the phone, "Dad, I don't know if this dream is a reminder. We previously researched Her Majesty Queen Hart, but there's not much information about her princesses, right?"
"Yes, the only information we have is that after Thutmose III ascended the throne, the whereabouts of Queen Hatshepsut's favorite princess are unknown!"
After Professor Fred finished speaking, he saw that Nie Yao seemed to have fallen silent, and asked again: "Ivy, do you have your speculation?"
"Dad, I do have some speculations, but I think they are too exaggerated and too bold!" Nie Yao shook his head with a wry smile.
"Ivy, besides the existing information, if you don't understand anything else, just follow your heart! Because of you, Li Jinxing donated this cultural relic, and this archaeological excavation was able to begin, allowing this thousand-year-old underground palace to be unveiled. So believe in yourself, the truth will slowly surface..."
As Nie Yao listened to her adoptive father's gentle and loving advice, her heavy heart seemed to suddenly become clear.
Didn’t even Li Jinxing tell her the same thing?
Nie Yao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Professor Fred, "Dad, thank you. I think I know what to do next!"
