Chapter 71: The Guide of the American Treasure Hunt
The next morning, the port of Giza, Cairo......
The turquoise Nile River flows quietly, merchant and passenger ships are moored in the harbor, and three of Egypt's most famous pyramids can be seen in the distance.
"Haven't Mr. Lai and Mr. O'Connor arrived yet?" asked Evelyn, anxiously.
"Calm down, sister. Jonathan carried the luggage of the two of them, and reassured Evelyn.
"Good morning, both. O'Connor's voice came from behind the two of them, and when he turned around, he couldn't help it. Evelyn looked at O'Connor's new image, a world away from yesterday's sloppy look.
"You've surprised me. Evelyn said in surprise.
"Thanks to my good brother, Lai. O'Connor said, pointing to Leyway on the side.
Rewind the clock to yesterday, after Lai Wei and O'Connor met again, Lai Wei first gave O'Connor a sum of money to clean up his image. O'Connor also accepted the money unceremoniously, went to get a haircut, then took a shower, and changed into dry clothes by the way.
In a tavern, Leeway and O'Connor sip cheap beer while recounting the recent situation in the past three years.
"So when you left the Tower of Hamna, you saw a group of men in black appear on the cliff?" asked Levy as he took a sip of his beer.
"Well, and it looks like someone who belongs to an organization. O'Connor added.
"It should be the descendants of the Pharaoh's guards......" After hearing O'Connor's addition, Li Wei had already confirmed the identity of this group of men in black.
"By the way, you're the second old friend I've ever met!" O'Connor said happily.
"The second one, who else?" asked Li Wei, a little curious.
"It's Captain Winston. O'Connor raised his hand to ask the bartender for an extra beer, then said to Dawn.
"Is it that patriotic fat man Winston?" asked Li Wei, but in his heart he began to recall the information he had read before, and finally remembered who this so-called Winston was.
"That's him. O'Connor nodded, agreeing with Leyway's answer.
The two continued to chat and catch up, and from that topic they started talking about, and finally Evelyn.
"Lai, about the woman who came to the prison with you today...... What is her relationship with you?" O'Connor asked, feigned dismay, but his tone and somewhat stammering look betrayed his heart.
"You mean Evelyn, I have nothing to do with her, at best I can be a good friend, and she can be said to be my teacher of ancient Egyptian and hieroglyphics. Li Wei replied.
"That's so......," O'Connor replied softly, nodding his head, and then said nothing.
"What? is it interesting to people?" said Li Wei's words, which made O'Connor almost squirt out the beer in his mouth, and at the same time secretly asked himself how obvious it was.
"Hehehe......" O'Connor didn't answer, just smirked to represent a qiē possibility.
"Alright...... I'm fighting with your comrades, how can I not know what you're thinking, and you've been abstaining from meat for so long, I understand......" Li Wei said teasingly.
"Don't talk nonsense...... I was just...... I'm just a little bit like...... "O'Connor, who has always appeared in front of people as a big man and a real man, blushed and stuttered for the first time, which surprised Li Wei, who had known him for a long time.
"But whether you have a good impression or not, I support you, brother. With that, Li Wei raised his glass.
"Thanks, brother. O'Connor raised his glass and touched it against Ley's, and the two of them tilted their heads to drain the wine.
……
Back in the real-time port of Giza, Cairo, Evelyn saw O'Connor's new image, in addition to the surprise she said, in fact, there was a little throbbing in her heart, even she didn't know it.
"Where do we go next?" asked Jonathan.
"Take the waterway with a passenger ship and then disembark into the desert halfway through. Before entering the desert though, we'll pass through an oasis so we can resupply there. O'Connor said. Last night, when he was catching up, Levy told him that the guide to Hamna Tower was him O'Connor, and Levy himself did not plan to come forward. Although he didn't understand Leyway's intentions, O'Connor also felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and gradually took on the role of the guide of the team.
"Is the route safe?" asked Jonathan, who was qualified to ask as a timid member of the group of four...... Embarrassment......
"Safety, my troops and I crossed Libya to Egypt, and we went to that oasis on the way...... But what I didn't expect was that they all confessed to that ruin, leaving their blood behind, turning into yellow sand......" O'Connor said with emotion.
After getting on the passenger ship, the four of them found their room with the help of the ticket. Once their luggage is settled, all they can do is walk around the deck or rest in their room, wait for the passenger ship to fill up and set off.
……
At night, the moon was reflected on the Nile, and no one noticed a sampan quietly approaching the passenger ship except for the sound of the boat's stroke.
On deck, Levy appeared to be walking around casually, but in fact he was surveying the ship's surroundings and structure, and then mentally simulating an escape route in the event of an emergency. There were two or three tables on the deck for the passengers to chat with, but one of them had been converted into a card table, and an acquaintance was sitting there. Jonathan was at the table with a group of friends who were clearly not Egyptians.
"This gentleman, I heard that your destination is the same as ours, right?" At this time, a middle-aged man with a red hat sat at the table next to Jonathan, looked at Li Wei and asked.
"Excuse me, I don't understand what you're talking about. Li Wei replied with a light smile. This middle-aged man in a red hat, Li Wei naturally knows because there is his storage zài in the information. One of the members of the American Treasure Hunt, Dr. Alan Chamberlain and Jonathan playing cards, are also members of the American Treasure Hunt, the short-sighted Burns, the fiery Dave, and the western cowboy Daniel.
"Hamnata. Dave unabashedly stated the destination of their group.
"It seems that our secrecy level is not so secure yet. Levy said with a smile as he walked in to Jonathan and gave him a 'gentle' press on the shoulder.
"I'm curious how you learned about the path to Hamna Tower, would you mind sharing?" asked Li Wei with a faint smile on his face.
"Because we had a guide who went there. Daniel said smugly.
"Oh! what a coincidence, we're ......!!! here," Jonathan's big mouth was once again stopped by Dawn's 'light'.
"Guys, I'm here to say goodnight. Li Wei smiled lightly and exited.
"Hehehe...... I can see another old friend again. ”
