Zhang Zian, the mysterious girl, and the other Elfins, one step behind fina, walked out of the vortex and came to the amazing and magnificent building.
This should be a room in a huge building. The four walls and ceiling were all made of solid granite, which they had seen in the pyramid. It was difficult to even insert a blade into the cracks of the stone.
The floor was covered with a luxurious Scarlet carpet, and the bronze floor lamp rack was burning with oil candles, illuminating the room. The statues of ancient Egypt tutelary flickered in the candlelight.
In the middle of the room was a spacious bed. Incense was lit on both sides of the bed, and the room was filled with a calming smell.
The furnishings and decorations in the room were too gorgeous to take in, but there was a certain existence that made everything pale in comparison.
There was a woman lying on the bed. Although her appearance was not comparable to Sihwa or Zhuang Xiaodie’s otherworldly beauty, and even if it was judged by modern aesthetic standards, it might not be comparable to those awl-faced internet celebrity beauties, but for some reason, she had a unique temperament and aura that made it impossible for people to ignore her existence.
She looked like a typical Southern European woman. Her eyelashes were long, and she had a light layer of makeup on her face. Her eyes were closed, and her face was pale. There was a faint black aura flowing under her skin.
She was dressed in a very gorgeous Royal robe, and her arms and neck were covered with luxurious jewelry. On her head was a heavy golden crown, and on the front of the crown was a three-headed Cobra, which was the unique symbol of the Ptolemy dynasty.
She was dressed so formally and was wearing such a heavy crown, as if she was specially dressed up for the National ceremony. However, it must be very uncomfortable to lie on the bed in this dress. No normal person would do this.
She seemed to be asleep. She didn’t hear the sound of Zhang Zian and the others when they appeared. Of course, their movements were very quiet.
However, in front of her bed, there were two maidservants. They were lying on the ground, their faces blue and purple, and they had already stopped breathing.
The door of the house was closed, and the sound of heavy military boots stepping on the floor came from the corridor outside. It sounded like the guards were changing shifts.
From even further away, the faint wails and angry yells of people could be heard. Their voices were filled with … The despair that was unique to people facing the destruction of their country.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zian and the Elfins suddenly understood where they were and the era.
Two thousand years ago, on the eve of the destruction of ancient Egypt.
According to historical rumors, Cleopatra the seventh had been defeated and was now a prisoner imprisoned in the palace. She had tried to seduce Octavius, but he had chosen the former between the country and the beauty, and had not followed in the footsteps of Caesar and Anthony.
It was impossible to verify whether these rumors were true or not. It was possible that the ancient Romans deliberately smeared her image. After all, history was written by the victors.
However, at least one thing was certain from the current situation. Yingluo had been poisoned, and her two personal maids had tested the poison for her, so they had died before her. As for her … It looked like she did not have much time left.
Hiss hiss hiss
A very small snake slithered out of her Royal robe. It raised its triangular head high, showing its hook-like poisonous fangs, and flicked its black tongue to demonstrate its power to Zhang Zian and the others.
Zhang Zian couldn’t recognize the species of the snake. It might be a species of snake that had long been extinct in the world. It was definitely extremely poisonous. After poisoning three people in a row, it still had the energy to threaten others.
If he brought this snake back to the real world, it would definitely be a rare commodity, but he couldn’t bring it back. Moreover, just as he had this thought, a golden light struck over like a Thunderbolt. Before the little snake could react, its body and head were cut in two by the sharp claws, and its head and body were separated.
Fina vented all of its anger on the little snake. It was the one who poisoned Cleopatra the seventh, so it had to be cut into pieces.
With the agility and reaction speed of a cat, it was almost certain to deal with this kind of small snake, not to mention that fina was personally involved.
Fina first cut off the head of the little snake with one claw, then cut the body of the little snake into pieces. This was not enough to vent her hatred. Finally, she used her claws to pick up the head and body of the snake, and threw them all into the oil burning in the copper lamp.
Zhang Zian looked at the girl worriedly. He was afraid that Fina’s killing of the little snake had affected the course of history. However, her expression was calm and sympathetic. She was not shocked or panicked.
So, fina was destined to travel back to this time and space to kill the venomous snake and avenge Egypt?
Everyone knew that it was impossible for this little snake to break into the heavily guarded Palace on its own. It should be similar to the rumors in history. Cleopatra the seventh saw that the situation was over and that there was no way to reverse it. In order to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy and being humiliated, being brought back to ancient Rome to be paraded in the streets, he would rather die for his country.
The Emperor guarded the country’s Gate, and the monarch died. This was the highest consciousness that a monarch of a feudal dynasty or a Slave Dynasty could make. No matter how the people of the later generations felt about her due to the influence of the rumors, this alone was enough to make many monarchs Xu Mei in ancient and modern times feel disgraced. At least she did not have to bow down to a slave and live an ignoble life.
This little snake was the one who killed her, but in the end, it was just a tool. Even without it, she still had many ways to die. The ones who really killed her were ancient Rome and Octavius.
The snake’s body was originally rich in fat. After being thrown into the oil lamp, the flame of the lamp suddenly became more vigorous. The snake blood fell into the oil, making a crackling sound.
Lying on the bed, she had already closed her eyes, quietly waiting for death to take her away from this world. If she didn’t want to die, who would? She still had many regrets. She didn’t see her children grow up, she didn’t see the kingdom of God exist forever, and … She didn’t say sorry to fina.
The snake’s venom was spreading in her blood, and she felt that it was getting more and more difficult to breathe. With her eyes closed, she seemed to see her glorious ancestors waving at her.
She felt sorry for her ancestors for not being able to protect their base, but it didn’t matter. When her ancestors were resurrected from the pyramid, they would definitely lead the Egypt army to conquer the world.
She heard the crackling of the oil candles and noticed that there were a few more light breathing sounds in the room.
Was it … Wu Dawei and his Army that barged in?
Something had jumped onto the bed and was staring at her from a very close distance. She could even feel its breathing.
She struggled to open her eyes, and it took her a while to see the existence in front of her.
“Fina …”
Her pupils suddenly contracted, and her heart, which was already at the end of its strength, throbbed violently, sending more blood to all parts of her body. Her pale face turned red again, and she looked beautiful.
