Pet King

v1 Chapter 1215: Guardian of 2000

Fina wasn't interested in hearing about Zhang Zi'an and Richard's crooked men and women. When the two of them chatted there, it had walked alone into the ruins.

Although there are no tourists here, in fact, every inch of land, every broken brick and stone pillar is equivalent to history. Walking in the ruins seems to be back to the era that was once magnificent more than 2,000 years ago.

Vaguely seen in the ruins of the year.

What is worrying is that it doesn't seem to be properly protected here, many walls have cracked, and the iconic spires have been severely weathered. It won't take long for this to fall apart-the so-called Soon, from the perspective of the history of the river, as long as there is no heavy rain or earthquake once in a century, it will not be a problem for decades.

To Fina's surprise, it found some traces of daily life from the ruined walls, not the traces left by a few tourists here, but the slight traces left only by living nearby for a long time.

It jumped onto a broken wall and turned around to look around—coincidentally, Zhang Zi'an was also looking around, but his gaze fell on the town of Siwa in the distance, instead of looking around like it did.

Yes, there should be someone here.

It saw at the foot of the small mound on the other side several houses that were clearly built in modern times, each of which was boxy, and a small section of the wall that seemed to have no effect.

"..."

Who lives here?

Fina's nameless fire broke out.

Even if it is an outdated pagan **** for the locals now, even if there is only a ruin left, it is still a sacred place. How can mortals live here casually?

It glanced back, Zhang Zi'an and Richard were still talking about some gossip, and it seemed that they would not leave for a while.

So it jumped off the broken wall and ran towards the houses at the foot of the mound.

The mound is very short, maybe 20 or 30 meters high, and it is not as high as the high-rise apartment buildings in Binhai City. It made several vertical jumps between the ruined walls and soon came to those houses.

One of them seemed to have the door of the main house open, but there was no sense of movement and living. The doors of the other rooms were locked, but they also had no sound.

To be cautious, Fina didn't go through the door, but instead jumped into a window hole without a window.

The light in the room is very dim, and it instinctively adjusts the size of the pupils to see everything in the room.

People go empty.

Obviously it ’s no longer here. It ’s covered with thick dust everywhere, and it ’s cold. It ’s only that the insects and ants that are scared because of its sudden appearance have nothing to do with the simple furniture. The owner of the house Seems to be living as an ascetic monk.

Why not live in a convenient town but move here?

Fina thought of the old lady who picked up the bottle and rescued the dog with the dog she picked up at Qiyuan Pet Store. Does the person who lives here also pick up waste for a living, so can't afford to live in the town house?

It shook its head slightly, negating its own judgment, because there is no indication that the town's house prices are high, even if it can't afford to live in the town center, it is at least possible to live on the edge of the town, and it is not necessary to live so far?

At this time, it suddenly noticed that there was a mark on the wall, a very vague mark. Those who didn't know might think it was an inadvertent trace or a child's prank.

He jumped into the room, his pupils quickly adjusted to the darkness, went to the wall with the mark, and stroked the dust and dust on the surface with the claws.

Is that so?

It immediately understood that the original anger in his heart suddenly turned into a tribute to the original owner of the house.

This is the mark of the temple guard.

For the past two thousand years, the family of the temple keepers has always lived under this small mound, silently guarding the shrine and the temple of Amon? Even after the destruction of the shrine and temple ...

Judging from some details of the room, the temple guardian may have lived here for several years, but then for some reason interrupted his duties that lasted more than two thousand years.

Fina didn't blame their absenteeism. As soon as the algorithm reappeared, Amen might not be able to blame them.

They can persist in more than 2,000 years of guardianship as loyalty beyond the imagination of mortals. Even if they decide to give up, they cannot blame them.

What's more, they may not give up. If they want to give up, they can give up long ago. It is more likely that no one succeeds.

Fina looked at the humble house again with respect.

It knows that human beings are social animals in groups. Instinct is to live in society and groups. How much courage and perseverance is needed to live against the inhabitants in the burrow of this projectile at the foot of the mound for more than 2,000 years. ?

Who would be willing to marry a temple guardian, have children, and live together in these shabby rooms?

There are beliefs in the past times ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Pharaohs will finally walk out of the pyramid again, and there will be gods of different good and evil lingering on this black land of faith. Temple guards will stay here reverently with strong faith. The courage and devotion of the temple people's women are willing to marry the temple guardians and give birth to the next generation of temple guardians.

But in this era, beliefs have long since faded away, at least in ancient Egypt. No woman is willing to marry a temple guard and stay here for life.

Therefore, when the last temple guard died, it was normal for no one to succeed.

The role of the temple guardians is to guard the shrine and the temple of Amon, but now the shrine and the temple of Amon are in ruins and they have not fulfilled their duties.

Fina did not blame them. Secular strength and historical torrents cannot be resisted by a few temple keepers. When the local government blew up the temples and temples more than a hundred years ago, they may not have tried to stop them, but apparently they failed. Don't blame them, they survive and stay with humiliation, which is already the greatest loyalty.

Although there are few tourists to the shrine, there are always people coming after all. There are many unscrupulous tourists, and there is not much garbage left between the ruins of the shrine and the temple. This has proved the duty of the temple guards.

There are dozens of generations and hundreds of generations of grandfathers who have stayed at the foot of the mound, shouldering duties that seem to never end, and no one can imagine the hardships and hardships in them.

It only has regrets in his heart. It would be nice if he could come here a few years earlier. Then he might see the last temple guard and say to him that it is hard.

Fina jumped in through the window, and when she left she chose to go out through the door.

It stood at the door, looking at the empty room, and said softly, "Thank you! Your guardian is over!"

A gust of wind blew in from the open door, circled the room for a few weeks, and then blew out of the window hole, flying into the sky with dust.
