Chapter 3113: Tracing The Pharaohโs Source
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation?????? Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At noon, it was rare to see the haze enveloping the blazing sky dome of Cairo. They felt a bit of coolness in the desert town that was similar to a furnace. Unfortunately, the cool air did not last for more than a few hours. Heat filled the land again. The people were drenched in sweat as if they were trapped inside a steamer. They could not even breathe properly. They felt as though something blocked their chest entirely.
โIs it going to rain?โ On the street, the Egyptian merchants selling magic stuff looked up at the sky in astonishment.
โIt seems so!โ
The people stopped their work and looked up at the sky. They breathed in the stuffy airโฆ
Tick-tack! Tick-tack! Tick-tack!
Big raindrops pattered on the tents. It soon began to rain heavily.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Raindrops struck the stone streets with a wet, crisp sound. It began to rain even faster.
โItโs raining!โ
โItโs raining!โ
Heavy rain poured down from the hazy clouds that hung high in the sky. The rain watered the desert. The heavy downpour on the flaming sand was equivalent to a godly intervention. The drought had lasted long in the desert. The desert looked as if it had been revived following the heavy rain, like the first ray of dawn in spring after winter in the southernmost of Ushuaia, Argentina.
Every raindrop was sacred.
The people took out beautiful jars and filled them to the brim with rainwater. They filled up several jars and sealed them.
Everyone was joyful as though they were celebrating a festive season.
The members of the Hunter Society from Imperial College held umbrellas as they walked on the street. They looked puzzled when they noticed the people dancing in the rain.
โRain in Cairo is an important event, just like the first snow in the Imperial Capital. After all, rain in spring is important to us, too. Isnโt it?โ said Chen He.
He was very knowledgeable.
Chen He was a strong and muscular senior with a body-builderโs physique.
However, he had very soft features. The two contrasted each other jarringly.
โStop looking at it. Weโll gather at the end of the street. The rest of the Hunter Master teams must have arrived. Itโs good to arrive early so that we can get to know our opponents.โ Guan Yao was not in the mood to appreciate the local customs.
They hastened their pace to the end of the streets. A dozen Hunter Master teams were already gathered there. They came from different countries. They had different hair colors, skin colors, and eye colors. There were also other Hunter Master teams from the local area.
The Hunter Tournament had always attracted many participants. There had been at least hundreds of local teams. However, when they learned that they had to travel to Egypt where the riots of Egyptian Undead were still happening, very few teams decided to continue their journey.
After weighing the pros and cons, they decided to skip the Hunter Tournament
for this term. After all, the title and honors remained unchanged. Therefore,
there was no need to take risks for this term.
โTeams 37 to 62, we will issue a bounty order to you now. Your bounty task is to find the Pharaohโs Source, which is scattered across the Pharaohโs Tombs in this land under the Undeadโs attack. Remember, you will need to find the exact location of the Pharaohโs Source. You canโt take it away. If you do and end up dead, the Hunter Union will not sympathize with you. There will be at least one Dark Swordmaster standing guard over the Pharaohโs Source somewhere nearby,โ announced the host of the tournament.
The host was an old Egyptian Senior Hunter. He was known as Black Elephant King. It was said that his most epic Summoning Creature was an underworld elephant.
The Hunter Society was assigned to the 48th hunter team, which was under the Egyptian Black Elephant Kings unified management and assignment. He distributed the task to a total of 25 teams. He supervised them and made the final assessment.
โThe Pharaohโs Source? Isnโt this considered a top international-level bounty task? Some people spend a lot of money just to obtain a drop of the orthodox Pharaohโs Source. I heard that the Pharaohโs Source can keep one youthful forever. The researchers from the skincare companies are especially obsessed with it,โ said Chen He in surprise.
They were going to look for the Pharaohโs Source!
The Pharaohโs Source was a mission that topped the international bounty list. Even though the bounty offered was so high that it was almost as much as the entire wealth of a small city, few were willing to complete the task.
The Pharaohโs Source had too many uses. The most overstated one was that it could prolong oneโs life.
Khufu and its pharaohs were the best โambassadorsโ of the Pharaohโs Source. They lived even to this day!
โEven the Soul Element Magic relies on the Pharaohโs Source. The Pharaohโs Source can turn an ordinary Soul Mage into a master of the underworld!โ Guan Yao looked thrilled.
She was a minor Soul Mage.
She was full of anticipation from the moment they headed to Egypt. Perhaps, she could find a way to break through her advanced-level Soul Element Magic.
The country had limited resources. Thus, it would be difficult to achieve super-level Soul Element Magic.
Lingling had a limited understanding of the Pharaohโs Source. She knew it was something very magical. It was an ancient magic filled with infinite possibilities. Even Khufu did all it could to collect as many of the Pharaohโs sources as possible.
There were many Pharaohโs Tombs in Egypt. Meanwhile, the Pharaohโs Source was like a strange bud of flowers. Sometimes, it appeared on an ordinary dune. Other times, it was sealed in the deepest part of a dangerous tomb. Yet other times, there was no trace of it at all. It rarely felt like there was an ancient force guiding the people and Undead to it.
โAre the rest of the hunter teams given the same mission too?โ Lingling was puzzled. โShouldnโt they rescue the Forbidden Mages who are trapped? Is it because they donโt want too many people to find out about the Forbidden
Magesโ current situation? Or is the Pharaohโs Source the key to freeing the Forbidden Mages from their trap?
What Lingling was concerned about the most was not the location of the Pharaohโs Source, but whether the other hunter teams had received the same bounty task.
โMaster?โ said a deep voice.
Leng Lingling turned around. Jiang Bingming had mysteriously come up to her side. He addressed her strangely.
โMaster Leng Lingling, whatโs your opinion? You used to work with an experienced Hunter Master. How should we start the mission, since itโs without any clues so far?โ Jiang Bingming asked with a smile.
โIโve no idea,โ replied Lingling.
โHeheheโฆ Lingling, do you want to hear my analysis?โ Jiang Bingming said smugly.
Lingling understood that her senior wanted to tell her of his plan.
It wouldnโt hurt to listen to his ideas. She wondered what else the vice president of the student council of Imperial College had to offer aside from having a fear of heights.
โOf course, senior. What is it?โ asked Lingling.
li ltโs the rain. It hardly rains in Egypt. From my understanding, the Pharaohโs
Source is related to the rain. We can tell the possible existence of the Pharaohโs Source based on the plant growth and desert flowers in the following week. Lingling, if youโre willing to help me work out the plant statistics and geographic screening, I donโt mind sharing the credit with you. After all, Iโm your senior, and the dean has asked me to take care of you.โ Jiang Bingming chuckled.
โReally?โ Lingling was enlightened.
There was indeed a good chance of finding the Pharaohโs Source with its connection to the rain. Since it was a source, it was related to waterโthe source of life. Lingling did not expect Jiang Bingming to have conducted his research about Egypt through the night after passing out and throwing up the day before..
