Where was this place …

Ivy heard the sound of water flowing in the distance. She tried to move her body, but it felt heavy in every part, and her head was always heavy.

She couldn't let this go on. Had she sustained some sort of injury? He moved his toes, ankles, fingers, wrists, neck … It seemed like the parts were still intact.

She took a deep breath and finally opened her eyes.

Lying on an open stretch of sand, beside her was a wide river, carrying sand with it as it slowly flowed. The calm and steady sound of the water made her gradually feel relieved, and her strength returned to her body. The sky was especially blue, and the sun was so hot that she had to close her eyes again.

How could this be? She wiped the dried tears from the corners of her eyes, narrowed her eyes, and began to survey her surroundings. He was clearly staying in his home in London just now, but why did he suddenly appear in such a godforsaken place …? She tried to gather her strength and slowly got up.

"Is there anyone here?" she asked loudly.

There was no answer, only the sound of the river, which made her suddenly feel an indescribable feeling of emptiness. Looking around, there was nothing but empty desert. If one looked carefully, it seemed that there were some huge and peculiar statues erected in the distance.

From this point of view, those look like pyramids and sphinxes. Ivy wondered if they were not in Egypt. But in an instant, she gave up on that idea. Egypt and London? It's not going to go together.

"What exactly is this place?" She patted the sand off her body. She pinched her forearm. It was so painful! He seemed to be awake. She quickly checked herself. Other than the gold bracelet on her left hand disappearing, the rest of her accessories and clothes were still intact.

"How strange, how could something like this happen?" She put her hands on her hips and looked up at the sky, grumbling a little. After thinking for a moment, he decided to follow the river downstream. "For two reasons. First of all, the rivers converge on the sea, and sooner or later they will reach each other along the river. Second, those strange buildings are just downstream. If there are buildings, there must be people." "It's just that I really didn't expect that in the twenty-first century, there would be such a primitive landscape. There wasn't even half a road …"

Ye Zichen let out a sigh. Alright, let's walk for a bit. If we walk for a bit, our hearts might not feel that bad anymore. Let's go back and apologize to big brother … Even though it was true, he really didn't want him to get married...

Ivy likes Ethel. It was not the love of a younger sister for her older brother, nor was it the love of a junior towards a senior, nor was it the love of worship and admiration. It was the love of a young girl with a bit of infatuation.

When Ivy was a child, she had lived with her mother in China, and Ivette had lived with her father in England. They had never met. When Ivy was 15, her mother died of a malady, and her custody was transferred to her father. On the plane to England, I met Ayatollah.

The two of them did not know each other's identities, so they chatted on the plane. They were very close to each other, and they even felt happy because they shared the same surname. Ivy was enchanted by Ivy's handsomeness and maturity, and Ivy was enchanted by Ivy's beauty and intelligence. The two of them agreed to meet once they reached London. And... When they stepped into the same house, they were shocked to discover that they were actually siblings.

From that day on, Ai Xing was still as good to Ivy as ever, becoming the best brother in the world to his sister. But Ivy knew she couldn't see him as her brother. She could make her own decisions and fight for it herself, but this one, because it was impossible. She could only hope, she could not say, that he would never marry, that he would be with her all his life, that he would feel it if he ever liked her a little, that he would. But...

Shaking her head, Ivy tried her best to shake off the memories of the past and slowly began to follow the current down the river. Thirty minutes later, however, a feeling of uneasiness seized her heart. Why was it that after walking for so long, he couldn't even see a dike or a telephone pole? After walking for so long, there wasn't even a trace of human civilization... He had heard of the theory that the orientation would be shifted to the side of the subspace, but even if such a thing were to happen, he wouldn't just bring her to a place where there wasn't even a public phone, right? Please, this is the twenty-first century! Could it be that he had also caught up with the news and time had traveled back to the ancient era?

She smiled, and for her ridiculous moment she crouched down and decided to make a small azimuth measurement using the sun's position on the ground. As she hesitated, a cloud of dust rose in the distance, as if two horsemen were coming their way. Without thinking, she waved her hand vigorously at them. "Here, here! "Help, I'm lost!"

When they were close enough that Ivy could see them, she regretted that she had asked them for help.

These were two youths who appeared to be around twenty years old. The man on the left was riding a handsome black stallion. He had fiery red hair and emerald green eyes. His handsome face was filled with an irrepressible heroic aura. He was dressed in simple armor and held a special sword in his hand. He looked like an ancient warrior. The man on the right was mounted on a beautiful white horse, and was much thinner than the one on the left. He was dressed in white, and had a gold-plated belt around his waist.

Faint, is there anyone else who would do Cosplay in the desert?

If that wasn't the case, then there could only be one possibility. The two of them were crazy …

Ivy was suddenly a little afraid, because mental illness was usually accompanied by tyrannical illness. Would they beat her up for no reason due to the sheer numbers of people they had, which was not worth it? It was better to pretend that he didn't see it and leave.

But... How long would it take to find the city from such a hellhole? It was imperative to borrow a mobile phone to contact her brother. Even a psychopath would be highly likely to have such a communication device.

But... Would they really hit him? Would it hurt? He had never been beaten by a man in his life, let alone a man with abnormal mental health.

But... He might not be crazy, but he might be filming …

Ivy struggled pitifully, consoling herself, but she never stopped.

The two men had noticed her long ago. They looked at each other, then stopped not far from her and looked at her. Ivy bit her lip, feeling extremely unhappy. What are you looking at! Had he never seen a woman before?

The black-eyed man and the red-haired young man were discussing something. From Ivy's point of view, they were maliciously discussing about capturing him and selling him. Before she could react, her body had already started running. At this moment, the red-haired young man suddenly jumped down from the horse agilely and chased after Ivy. He grabbed her hand and pushed her head to the ground. Hey! Why did you catch me! " Indeed, he was a lunatic, and he was a severe case of sadism! Ivy thought ruefully as she quickly tried to figure out a way to escape them safely.

"Don't be rude!" The person holding him down spoke in a strange language, but Ivy was surprised to find that she could understand it. She swore that she had never heard it in her seventeen years of life, but she knew what he meant.

But, who exactly was the rude one!? Ivy was furious. Who was the one who pressed her head to the ground now?! "How about we figure out the situation?" "Hey, hey, what's going on …" Before she could finish her sentence, the evil hand pushed her head even more ferociously into the hot sand, and the sand almost grinded her face. Do not be presumptuous! " With that, the red-haired man touched her waist, and Ivy couldn't help but yell, "Rogue!"

The red-haired young man suddenly blushed, even though Ivy didn't see it. He quickly checked Ivy's belt and pocket and nodded to the man on the horse. "No weapons."

"There's no need to be so alert, Mentus." A sound like flowing water came from behind the many layers of the man on horseback. The pressure on her hand suddenly loosened, and she fell powerlessly into the sand. The man jumped off the horse and walked in front of Ivy. He gently stretched out his hands. His black eyes were shining with beauty. "I'm sorry. He was kind to you. Are you alright?"

Kind? Kind to push her head into the sand? Ivy curled her lips and ignored her kind hands. She stood up and said with some dissatisfaction and emotion, "I'm lost. I just want to ask you to borrow my cell phone. If you don't have it, then forget it."

"Move... "Telephone?" The white-clothed man glanced at the red-haired youth beside him. He also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on. "The mobile phone you were talking about just now means …?"

It can't be? Ivy suddenly felt dizzy. Forget it, just pretend that she didn't ask! Since he had met these two lunatics, he would definitely be able to run into others.

"Nothing, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

"Hold on," The man in white gently pulled Ivy's sleeve, and a warm smile appeared in his black eyes, "Let me introduce you, my name is Litah, and this is Mentus … What should I call you? "

Litach? Mentus? Ivy rolled her eyes. What kind of a name was that? Was this a lie? A mischievous idea suddenly welled up from the depths of her heart, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, and she said in a slightly mocking tone, "My name is … Nefel Tully. "

"Nefelter Tully," Ritaher repeated softly. "Beautiful name."

Of course it's beautiful, the name of the ancient Egyptian queen. Ivy looked at him smugly.

Rittach looked at Ivy quietly for a moment, then went on, "Nefel Tully... Actually, it's like this. We've met with some trouble, and I think only you can help us … "

What? Ivy stared at the only two beautiful eyes that were exposed to the light. She didn't hear wrong, did she? He had already fallen into a huge mess, how could he still have the ability to help them? Even if she did, she wouldn't have the energy to help.

Just when she was about to open her mouth and decisively reject him, a voice like flowing water sounded again, "Didn't you say you were lost before? If you are willing to help us with this little favor, we will send someone to escort you back tomorrow. "

She can go back herself! As long as they were on the continent, no one would not know the name of the Eiffel Group. They could contact their brother at any bank and guarantee that they would pay up. Why wait until "tomorrow"? Ivy's first thought was to refuse. At this moment, the red-haired young man who had been standing at the side spoke up. His politeness carried the impatience of a young person.

"Don't discuss it with her, just bring her back."

"But also with the consent of Miss Nefelter."

"Why must you take her? This young lady does not seem to be willing to help. "

"Miss Nefelter's blond hair and watery blue eyes are really rare. That way, we can satisfy 'his' plan."

"We're just being paid to fill the bill. "Just find someone to save trouble with. 'he' must have only used this program as an auxiliary program, so it won't affect the overall situation …"

"I think, Mentos, that Miss Nefelter Tully is the best choice to make today." "Miss Neptune, if you would do us this favor, Miss Neptune. It is only for one day, and if you are present at a little dinner party, I will do as I say tomorrow, and see you home."

Ivy curled her lips. She had long since been greatly dissatisfied with their earlier conversation, which had ignored her. What did it have to do with her if the dinner was not going to be held? And there was also that so-called 'he'. She had never met him before anyway, so why did she have to give him that face?

"No, I have urgent matters to attend to …" "Yah!" Before she could finish her sentence, Ivy was held by the red-haired young man by his waist and hung on his shoulder. Put me down! "

"Litahi, I don't have time to talk to her about this. I still have many things to take care of. Since I've already made up my mind, I will bring this foreign girl back!" "As long as she doesn't have any negative impact on our plan, I'm really worried about her now." Ivy nodded her head.

Litah couldn't help but chuckle. "An Xin. When the time comes, things will naturally not be like this." However, you impetuous person, I'm really worried that in the future, Buka will be affected by you and become like you. "

"What does it have to do with my brother?" The red-haired young man mumbled and "laid" Ivy on his shiny black horse, "Catch her, little girl. This is my beloved horse," "Black Ice", I won't ride anyone else. "

"Ritach laughed again, and Ivy was a little angry, but when the young man with red hair pulled the reins and the horse started to run, she was so scared that she immediately wrapped her arms around the thick neck of the horse in front of her." You all, even though your nerves aren't normal! "But I don't want to die!" Ivy screamed, closing her eyes and clawing at the horse's mane. He felt the hot sand blowing past his ears.

Buddha ah! Jesus! Brother!

She did not want to die!

She wanted to go to Cambridge to study — she wanted to buy Burberry fashion — she wanted to go skiing with her brother!

If he was taken away by these two lunatics, what would happen to him next?

Who could tell her what all this was about?

The horse's bumpy ride gradually slowed down, and the surroundings gradually became noisy.

He must have arrived at a place with people. Feeling that she could grasp the balance, Ivy slowly and tentatively opened her eyes.

!!

Impossible! This was impossible! As Ivy watched, she began to wonder if she was insane.

Even if you looked up, you wouldn't be able to see the full picture of the tall stone statue. Even if you squinted, your eyes would still be pierced by the light.

This was a palace that belonged to the Sun God! The magnificent golden bricks, the fine gold ornaments and the setting sun gradually sinking into the river echo each other. The building is supported by a thick and magnificent column, on which is carved a fine mural, which adopts a strange structural method. The way the body was twisted and the way the clothes were painted was unique and familiar. The structure was simple, yet it was surrounded by many green plants Ivy did not recognize. The statues and decorations beside the plants were filled with the luxury of retro style. The connection between all this and the pyramidal structure that she had glimpsed when she had just regained consciousness was beginning to make her feel uneasy.

Lowering their heads, they could see that the people at the side of the road were all dressed in strange clothing, wearing gold ornaments and holding bronze utensils. What was even more shocking and terrifying was that even here, she still did not see any traces of modern civilization. There was no car, no asphalt, no streetlights, no glass, not to mention any of the equipment she had once guessed at. She gradually came to know that it was all too terrifying and she didn't want to believe it even though it was the truth! This is not the scene of the shooting, nor is this the village of the lunatics, here, here is.

"Egypt, ancient Egypt …" Ivy sat on the horse and couldn't help but slightly straighten her body. This is ancient times. Egypt!

"Is this the first time you've been to Thebes?" "This is the capital of Egypt. You've heard of it before, haven't you?"

Ivy didn't pay attention to his question. She was still in a state of shock. Thebes, the great city lost in the flood of history, the flourishing capital of the ancient world, the most representative city in ancient Egypt, as early as 1000 B.C. Then, he was in ancient Egypt! But she had no idea how or how to get back. In the past seventeen years of her life, she had never imagined that she would ever have to go through anything like this. This moment of deep fear had surrounded her: what if she couldn't return for the rest of her life? No matter what kind of knowledge she had, in ancient Egypt, she could still become a slave at any time. As she had studied in her thesis, the work that ancient slaves did was mechanical and intense, and she could not be competent, she could not be. If so, would she survive?

While she was thinking rapidly about what might happen next, Mentus had pulled her off the horse and thrown her to the ground. Several female officials greeted them respectfully, bowing to the two, "My lord."

"She's coming to dinner tonight," he whispered to several of the female officials as he hurried after him to the depths of the palace.

"Yes." The women bowed to their backs with the utmost politeness. Without waiting for Ivy to react, they half supported her, half forced her to move in the other direction.

"What are you doing? "Where are you going?" Ivy was confused. She instinctively tried to resist, but the female officials were surprisingly strong. They bound her elbows, preventing her from moving.

"Please follow us to the bathroom. Please be assured that we will clean and keep your clothes for you. "But tonight you have to attend an important dinner, you have to wash up, dress up, and attend. Besides, tonight His Highness will also attend …" The last part of the sentence had a hint of envy and jealousy in it, and Ivy gave them a puzzled look. She only cared about one question: what did His Highness mean?

"Is this Ancient Egyptian?"

The women looked at her strangely, exchanged glances, and one of them said to her with a hint of contempt, "Our great Sun, Egypt. Don't you know? "If you don't know, how did you seduce the two lords, Ritaher and Mentus, to come to the Palace of Thebes?"

Ivy suddenly felt dizzy. Who seduced him? Who would want to be taken back to such a strange place? If she wasn't forced, she wouldn't be brought back here!
