Chapter 219: scepter of Tutankhamun and the lost ark
Vicky solved the puzzle and then took the scepter.
The scepter looked more like that of Tutenstein cartoon than the one that showed in the archeological reports.
Well whatever it is Vicky got the thing.
Vicky knows that this place would collapse right after he got the scepter.
Also there are no other treasures other than this scepter in this place.
Vicky immediately moved towards the shortcut that was formed for escaping created for the pharaoh.
Vicky used this and ran wildly towards that directly and finally reached the top of the cliff from the foot of the cliff.
Then entire cliff sank by a few feet.
Vicky did not stop till he felt the sense of crisis has receded.
The camels were tied on a different side where there is no problem for them during the sinking of the cliff.
But it will take an hour to reach the camels again.
Vicky took Evelyn back to the camels and they rested there for some time before moving to the next place.
They are now going to get lost ark.
The scepter cannot be used by Vicky as he did not study it well.
Also he has to understand how to use this from some ancient scriptures and information pieces.
All in all, this scepter is just like a magic wand and Vicky has to learn wand spell casting before using it.
For now it is useless.
Well he plans to use the simulation later to check its usage and abilities.
After resting for the day they moved to the nearest settlement.
There they replenished their supplies and moved to the next destination.
This place is towards the eastern part of Egypt down the Nile River.
This symbolizes the great flood and the historic events at that time.
On the way down there is a temple that has Egyptian style of construction and also something different.
In this temple there should be a secret passage that would lead to the depth under of the Nile River.
This is right at the central underground area right under the place where Nile River is flowing.
The traps are also related to the great flood.
If Vicky made a single wrong step then the entire underground section will be flooded burying Vicky under the Nile River.
Vicky and Evelyn entered through the secret door after solving the puzzle.
There are many likes of water flowing puzzles like small 5 inch channels in the place.
They are intertwined in a puzzle like order with the gates to the next section closed.
Vicky has to solve this puzzle to enter the next area.
The puzzle is to find out the correct channel to send the ark like boat to travel from start to end in a single flow.
There are more than 10 small channels at the entrance with many runic inscriptions of ancient Egypt.
Vicky solved them quickly with his simulation memories and moved on to the next section.
Here is the walk of faith.
There is an optical illusion in front of him right after the entrance.
There is no image of the bridge to cross over to the other side and right under them is a calm pond.
The pond is filled with piranha fishes.
This is a very easy puzzle for Vicky.
He solved it with some sand that he prepared before.
Sprinkling the sand revealed the bridge made of optical illusion and he crossed over the bridge.
After crossing few more puzzles, Vicky and Evelyn made their way to the area where the Ark is located.
The ark is not big as that appeared in those movies and stories.
It was only around 4 foot in length and 2 feet width and looked exactly like a ship.
It is a ship made of gold with complicated craftsmanship.
There are countless runes that are arranged in certain areas on the ship.
Evelyn wanted to touch the ship but Vicky stopped her because it has runic protection.
They cannot touch it directly.
If they did the entire place will collapse directly burying them here.
The way to take this ark is to open the water channel behind it and let the ark complete its journey.
When it reaches the end of the journey it will become the crystal orb for Vicky to collect.
At the same time it will also show the secret way out of here without getting trapped here.
Vicky immediately gave Evelyn a piggy back ride just like before and went to the side of the wall to find the hidden key present in the runes on the wall.
Evelyn helped study the runes with Vicky as they looked more like hieroglyphs.
The process is done quickly and the small water channel opened.
From there water started to flow and fill up the channel under the golden ark.
The golden ark slowly floated in the water.
When the water level raised to a certain level another passage way straight on the opposite wall opened.
This passage way is big enough to fit a person.
The ark started to move along with the water.
Vicky quickly followed the ark with his fastest speed.
This is because as long as the ark passed through the passage on the wall the passage way would shrink down till only water can flow through it.
Vicky immediately moved to the other side with Evelyn in toe.
Following the ark for 2 kilometers it finally reached its end and hit a Rune at the end of the water passage way.
Immediately it turned into a glowing orb that can be collected.
Vicky took it and directly stored it in the personal space.
At the same time a passage way leading towards outside the underground area.
Vicky did not wait or took his leisurely time to move out of here.
This is because after he collected the ark orb this place will step into the self destruct mode.
Only after rushing out of this place did Vicky sighed and looked back.
