Chapter 175 The Sun God
"We have considered this."
Ramses Kamu did not refute, but gave a wry smile.
A series of tiny, indistinct patterns flashed across the large screen behind him. Only when "One Cuts Through Water" got closer did he realize that they were actually names.
"These are the names of gods associated with the land of Egypt. If we combine them with mythology to investigate, the workload will be too great."
As the birthplace of ancient Egyptian civilization, this land has never lacked faith.
Egyptian mythology also has its own system and stories, but it is not as well-known or as widely known as Norse or Greek mythology.
Lin Zhiying wasn't surprised by this. He walked to the screen, picked up the t.be, and drew a big circle.
Ramses Kamu was somewhat puzzled as to what this meant.
"All deities within this circle are excluded."
Lin Zhiying returned to his seat and replied calmly.
Are you kidding me if you're going to exclude them all?
The circle he drew basically excluded 99% of the gods; the only ones outside the circle were a few of the top-ranked deities.
"Based on what I said, I have a feeling that it's among them."
Ramses Camus didn't quite understand, but since Jimmy Lin had said that, he still had to give him some face.
He whispered a few words to the staff, and the data for the top 100 appeared on the screen.
Lin Zhiying naturally had his reasons for doing this.
Even if he doesn't follow the memories of his previous life, he has his reasons for doing so.
The reason is simple: Xuanyu Company makes games to serve players. Even if it involves puzzles related to mythology, players need to be able to guess them. Some players who are not familiar with the subject simply won't understand it. After all, this is an open-world game, not some professional academic game.
What players can know are most likely the top-ranked and well-known gods.
"Cough cough————"
Ramses Kamu coughed a few times to draw attention back to him and began to introduce him.
He felt quite proud if he could introduce the gods from the mythology of civilization to everyone.
"Osiris, His identities include: the god of the underworld, the god of resurrection, and the god of fertility—"
"Next."
Ramses Camus, what do you want to say next? He saw Jimmy Lin sitting in the audience waving his hand to signal for the next person to speak.
Ramses Kamu forcibly suppressed his displeasure. "Never underestimate a young man's potential," he silently repeated to himself.
They completely forgot that they were no longer teenagers.
"Horus, not any other Horus."
Ramses Kamu explained that he was afraid others would misunderstand and think it was a character with the same name in another work.
Lin Zhiying kept his eyes on the screen, signaling him to continue.
If he hadn't said that, he probably would have skipped it altogether. His saying it actually piqued his interest.
"His appearance was that of a man with an eagle's head and wearing a double crown—"
"jump over."
Lin Zhiying yawned, looking a bit bored. "Eagle Head is too low-class. It's just Fu Rui. Next."
Didn't you just signal me to continue?!
Ramses Kamu cursed Lin Zhiying a thousand times in his mind. Calm down, calm down. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He continued to look at the screen and explained, "The sun god Ra."
Ramses Kamu paused, and only continued speaking when he saw that Lin Zhiying did not stop him.
"Ra is the supreme god of ancient Egypt, the creator god, and the king of the sun. He is also the oldest and most central god in ancient Egyptian mythology. Pharaohs even called themselves 'son of Ra,' and he is the 'leader' among the gods."
"They hold the power over light and the sun."
Ramses Kamu spoke with some emotion, because he himself had the blood of a pharaoh, and if he were in ancient times, he could also call himself "the son of Ra".
"It's him."
As expected, it still didn't work. Ramses Camus finally realized that Lin Zhiying was just toying with him.
He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and heard what he said.
"It's him, are you sure?"
Nonsense, my memories from my previous life tell me it's him, it must be him.
If you think this way in your heart, then you must give a suitable reason on the surface.
Lin Zhiying thought for a moment and then said, "You just mentioned the sun, right?"
"Yes."
Ramses Kamu nodded.
"And what do the sun and fire have in common?"
Lin Zhiying continued to ask.
"It is light."
Sitting in the audience, Caesar's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he answered forcefully.
Moreover, Ra is the chief god, which is consistent with the background of the four dragon kings vying for supremacy in the "mythological era".
Lin Zhiying nodded, but what he didn't say was that the opposite of "Ra" in light is darkness, and that god has many nicknames, the most famous of which is "Anubis".
The two well-known figures are enough to reflect the "King of Bronze and Fire".
The reason is simple: the "King of Bronze and Fire" is a twin!
Ramses Kamu switched the image back to the original one filled with red dots.
Below each red dot is an area where elements are gathered, but now that it's associated with "pull," after excluding those, only three remain.
One is the ruins of the "Sun God" temple located on the outskirts of the old town.
One is the Sphinx, a famous Egyptian landmark, which is considered to be the incarnation of the sun god Ra.
The last place is the Valley of the Kings, where the pharaohs stopped building pyramids starting from the New Kingdom period. Countless pharaohs are buried here, and the pharaohs are also known as "sons of Ra," naturally related to "Ra."
After getting the idea, Ramses Kamu didn't linger. He spoke to the group, "I will urgently send people to these three locations to investigate. You are free to move around during this time, but keep your phones on at all times. Contact me immediately if anything happens."
"All expenses incurred during the 7 days can be reimbursed by the Egyptian branch. Have a great trip!"
After saying that, Ramses Camus, I left in a hurry.
It must be said that as the minister of the Egyptian branch, he was indeed very impressive, otherwise he would not have personally gone to the airport to welcome them. In the conference room, after refusing the invitations of "One Cut to Cut Water" and Caesar, Lin Zhiying was left alone in the room.
He sat there quietly, as if waiting for something.
"Ding ding ding————"
The phone on the table rang immediately. Lin Zhiying picked it up as expected, and it seemed that his guess was correct.
What did you eat today?
Zero spoke on the other end of the phone, her crisp voice asking a somewhat stiff question.
It has to be said that he was really touched to be called by Ling from thousands of kilometers away to ask what he was eating.
However, Lin Zhiying knew that she had other purposes.
"There's no need to beat around the bush. If you want information, just ask directly."
Ling was silent for a moment, not expecting Lin Zhiying to be so decisive.
"I want to know the movements of the Egyptian branch."
Zero spoke softly on the rooftop, on the other end of the phone.
"If you're asking for a favor, you should act like you're asking for a favor."
Lin Zhiying grinned. He appreciated the girl's concern, but he appreciated teasing her even more.
I only told him to ask, but I didn't say that I would answer.
"If you want to know the news, you'd better send someone to see me in person."
After saying this, Lin Zhiying hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.
I sent her an address via text message.
The Sunset Sun Bar is probably named this way because you can see the sunset over the Nile River, which looks like flames, through the windows.
However, since it had just gotten dark, there weren't many people in the bar at the moment.
Lin Zhiying sat at the bar. Perhaps because of his Asian appearance, he immediately noticed several pairs of eyes on him as soon as he entered the bar.
He didn't feel like he was having a stroke of good luck with women; more likely, his voyeuristic gaze was a calculated attempt to seize an opportunity to take advantage of them.
He, an outsider, was stabbed.
This kind of behavior exists in Cairo, just like in all other tourist cities.
These guys only need one chance, and they'll swarm around like jackals smelling blood.
"Ring ring—"
A bell hanging on the door rang, and this guest instantly became the center of attention the moment the door opened.
Even the strippers on stage with their baby buses exposed were no longer being watched.
Mai Shude was wearing a smart uniform today. Her long, black hair was styled into a ponytail, and her legs were encased in black stockings. Although the stockings were matte black, they were so alluring that it was impossible not to look at them.
"Miss, may I buy you a drink?"
A burly man with a thick beard, reeking of alcohol, stepped forward and asked.
When Lin Zhiying came in, the guy was already slumped over the table because he was drunk, but now it seems he's sobered up.
Mai didn't even glance at him, but disgustedly twisted her nose with her jade finger and walked towards the bar.
Every man sitting at the bar thought he might be the one who stood out from the crowd, until Mai Shude sat down next to Lin Zhiying, at which point they gave up the idea.
"He's just a pretty boy," everyone thought to themselves.
However, it must be said that this guy's appearance is indeed very attractive, resembling a male star in a TV series.
"They arrived quite punctually."
Lin Zhiying pushed the cocktails that she had prepared earlier over.
Mai Shude's appearance was within his expectations. After all, how could the "Healer Group" not participate in killing the "King of Bronze and Fire," especially with Lu Mingfei present?
As for why they met, it was obviously to sell information.
Why are there middlemen involved in selling one's own information?
If it concerns yourself, it's definitely better to sell it directly!
"I've always been a person who pursues efficiency in everything I do."
Lin Zhiying boldly glanced at the bulging cuffs of Jiu Demai's sleeves and took a sip of wine.
"So, let's just get straight to the conditions?"
Mai Shude was curious about his lack of remorse for being discovered by her, and leaned closer to him.
To outsiders, it looked like she was nestled in his arms, prompting onlookers to exclaim that it was a waste of her beauty and wish they could take her place.
"What are my conditions?"
Mai Shude's red lips moved in and out, just like a ripe cherry, making one want to taste it.
Lin Zhiying swallowed hard, somewhat tempted, but quickly calmed down.
The version doesn't have that feature enabled, and my crotch is covered in holy light!
What's the point of telling yourself this? It's just empty promises, isn't it?
Besides, it's okay to play around with a "thousand-person slayer" like Mai Shutoku, but there's really no need for a strategy guide.
Isn't Zero (Zero) appealing?
"No need, women will only slow down my dragon-slaying speed."
Lin Zhiying replied coldly.
Mai Shude was somewhat surprised that her usually effective seductive tactics had completely failed her.
She had played around with many men, but this was the first time she had met someone like Lin Zhiying who, despite being very lustful, did not act recklessly when given the opportunity.
Lin Zhiying doesn't seem like the kind of person who lacks the courage to have sex.
Could it be that she's too big and doesn't fit his aesthetic? Mai looked down at a particularly prominent part of her body, where she could no longer see her toes.
Considering that Lin Zhiying and Ling had gotten along quite well, and that she was even the one who introduced them this time, a suspicion arose.
Could it be that this kid likes younger girls?
But it's too late for Zero to seduce him now; I have to win him over today no matter what.
"Word of Power, to awaken your Word of Power a second time—can you accept this condition?"
After a moment's hesitation, Mai Shude revealed her bottom line.
This may not seem like much, but this ability already requires the "boss" to personally take action.
coming.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiying looked up instantly. His guess from his previous life was indeed correct; Lu Mingze really did have the power to enhance the second awakening of the Word of Power!
This does not refer to the awakening within the sequence of "Blazing Sun" being upgraded to "Blazing," but rather to a secondary awakening that ignores conditions.
Even if there is no "Junyan" who has risen to a higher position, it is fine!
In the original work, Mai Shude's A-rank Word of Power "Netherworld Light" evolved in the direction of a domain, becoming not just a shadow, but capable of devouring some of the darkness.
Are you sure you can do this?
Lin Zhiying inquired.
"That's for sure, and only we have this capability."
Seeing that he was somewhat tempted, Mai patted her chest confidently, and it took her a while to calm down the trembling in her chest.
"Miss, could I have your contact information? Don't bother talking to this pretty boy. Look at my muscles, aren't they ten times stronger than his?"
Just as Lin Zhiying was about to agree, the drunkard from before, encouraged by his companions, drank a few more mouthfuls of alcohol and came over.
Fearing that Mai Shiranui wouldn't believe him, he raised his arm, clenched his fist, and forcefully squeezed out a small mound.
Mai Shude's first reaction was to get rid of this guy, but then she thought of something.
Lin Zhiying is still by my side, isn't he?
Her charm failed, which made Mai Shude somewhat discouraged, and she took this opportunity to embarrass the boy.
She slowly began to speak, "It's all my fault, please don't fight because of me."
"What 'Tea Yan Tea Talk'?" Lin Zhiying rolled his eyes upon hearing this. "Is there really anyone who would fall for it?"
It was obvious that he had overestimated some people's intelligence. The drunkard next to him seemed to have received some kind of signal, and his gaze fell on him.
