(Jojo / Jjba X Reader) A 7TH Stand User Joins The Party

Chapter 70

Of course there was another stand attack, Anubis, who was a possessed sword, attempting to kill Polnareff and Jotaro. Luckily though, they were able to thwart the attack, and threw the sword into the bottom of the Nile.

A day later, and you arrived in Luxor. Everyone in your party was injured in various ways and degrees of severity, so the travels had become a bit slower than they usually were. You didn't necessarily mind it, but you knew the others were becoming a bit antsy in their need to keep moving.

You had been standing near Avdol when he turned to you, jutting his thumb out towards the distance behind him, “The tomb of the famous King Tutankhamun lies in the valley of the kings.”

Right, you remember him pointing out that area earlier. It was pretty impressive. When you were younger, you were pretty interested in Egyption mythology. It was an interesting topic for sure. Being so close to such a historical area was actually pretty cool.

“I wish we had the time to go visit and get a closer look.” you said, smiling, “when I was a kid, I was pretty enamored with Egyptian history.” you said with a laugh.

“This place is pretty historical, huh.” Said Polnareff, gazing out across the area.

“Apparently, there are still people who secretly dig underneath their houses without the government's knowledge, hoping to find gold and treasure.” Said Avdol, turning his gaze over to the nearby town.

“I wonder if there are still any tombs or treasures left to be found.” Said Polnareff, following his gaze.

“Still, don’t people worry about being cursed?” you asked, frowning, “There are so many stories about people dying from King Tutankhamun’s curse.”

Avdol laughed, “and they are just that, stories.” he said, smiling at you, “The curse of King Tut is nothing more than a rumor. Something passed along archeologists as something of a ghost story.”

“Really?” you asked, tilting your head, “But didnt a bunch of people from the initial team die after they opened his tomb?”

“Just another ghost story.” said Avdol, holding up a finger, “In reality, there were 58 people there when the sarcophagus was open, and in the following 12 years, only 8 of them have died.”

“Oh, I see!” you said, smiling. Avdol really was a smart man. Even though what you were saying was wrong, he had taking the time to correct you without making you feel dumb, and then help quell your worries.

“I’m actually quite happy to be able to clear up misconceptions like this.” Said Avdol, “Feel free to ask me anything else you might be worried about.”

Jotaro butted in, “Hey, did you see where the old man went?”

Right, Joseph had walked off a little while ago with Iggy, you didn't catch where they were headed towards though.

“Mr. Joestar went to the bathroom.” said Avdol, “Iggy went with him, so if anything odd happens, they’ll be alright.”

“The bathroom?” asked Polnareff, touching his chin.

“What, do you need to use it?” Asked Avdol, pointing to a small building a little ways away, “It’s right over there if so.”

“Sure, if it’s a real bathroom.” Polnareff said, waving his hand.

“I think you’ll find yourself disappointed then.” said Avdol, chuckling, “the toilet is a hole that’s been dug in the ground… there’s no toilet paper, and instead, you use sand to clean yourself. The sand is sterile, so it’s clean.”

Polnareff turned his back, “I couldn’t possibly be expected to use that. I’ll just wait until we get to the hotel then.”

You didn't really blame him.
