Chapitre 232: Convincing the Gods

Erich met with Anubis in private, who was quick to apologize for Osiris and his antics. 

"I must apologize for the treatment you have received upon first entering our sacred world. Even though you come from a hostile power, we are not in a state of war, and it is generally our tradition to treat our guests with dignity and respect. However, Osiris is a friend of the sages, and often uses their prophecies to convince the masses that he is truly divine. 

With you are actively pursuing them across the galaxy, he felt the need to buy some time, and have the sages speak to the pantheon in person. Though I know he would not have harmed you, he wanted to restrict your movement, which is a great taboo in our culture, as we are supposed to treat guests with the utmost hospitality..." 

Erich was not sure if he fully believed Anubis and his words, but for the sake of showing the man's face, he nodded his head and accepted the apology.
