The elders were dumbfounded, even Ardeth and O’Connell’s group were so. The spear didn’t react to all the Medjais that tried throwing it afterward. That was when they finally realized no one on their side could activate the spear. They agreed to hand the spear back to Zheng after a short exchange and send people to enter the tomb with Zheng.
“What happened? Why are they suddenly so agreeable?” Jonathan asked.
Ardeth said with a bitter smile. “There’s a legend in our tribe that a warrior will kill the Scorpion King with the Spear of Osiris once and for all. They believe that you are the warrior. No one had ever heard about throwing the spear like you did. It’s better to kill the Scorpion King when you are here. The treasures doesn’t belong to us to begin with.”
