Chapter 1658: Staggered Meeting (13)
"It's all luck. When asked, Bediwell replied truthfully.www.biquge.info
It's really just a coincidence.
He found the key to the Desert Ship from the belly of the golden worm he caught, and by chance, he met the Desert Ship, a golden treasure ship that was diving underneath the Sahara Desert Desert, and entered it, eventually obtaining the identity of the so-called captain (captain). To say that all this is all a matter of luck is the most pertinent and objective assessment, although it may not seem like this in the eyes of others.
"Yes. You are honest, sir. As if the other party also knew something, Academician Zust actually came up with such a sentence: "Despite this, it is still an indisputable fact that you have extraordinary good luck." So, I would like to ask your Excellency, if you would be interested in joining us?"
"Brotherhood? I don't think it's necessary. Bediville dodged. He still didn't know what kind of organization this Melson Brotherhood really was, but he had reservations.
"No, I didn't intend to have Captain Bedwell join the Brotherhood. When I say please join us, I'm referring to a dig that's about to take place recently. This excavation will be the most massive project ever, and we have long planned to mobilize all the human resources we can muster, even with the help of forces outside the Brotherhood. You, Captain Beddyville, have had incredible luck, and of course we would like to borrow that good fortune to help us gain an edge in this excavation. "
"Wait, let me think it through. Bediwell frowned, trying to clear his mind: "When you say excavation, you should be referring to some underground tomb in Egypt, right?"
Academician Zust nodded.
"You say it's going to be the biggest project ever built, which means that the size of the tomb and the treasures inside are so great. Of course, there should be an unprecedented number of traps in the ancient tomb to kill people, and breaking into this kind of ancient tomb is basically a life of death, am I right?"
"Quite right. The middle-aged man nodded again.
"Then why do you think that I, who have nothing to live on, would be willing to risk my life to run into the kind of ancient tomb full of death traps and help you rob the tomb?" Bediwell frowned, "Let's not mention whether this excavation is legal. Even if it's legal and lucrative, is it necessary for me to die like this?"
"Ah, you're finally getting to the point. Academician Zust then smiled mysteriously: "Normally, you really don't have to. But whose tomb is that, you know? We're not going to dig any ordinary tomb, but the tomb of the first pharaoh, Menes. Legend of Menes is a descendant of Osiris, the god of the sky, and possesses a large number of ancient artifacts. He relied on these artifacts to unify ancient Egypt and hid all his funerary goods in his tomb before he died. "
"I'm listening. And then?" Bediwell urged, a little impatiently. He didn't care who the first pharaoh was, and he didn't want to know how valuable the pharaoh was. Without a very important reason, it would have been impossible for Bediwell to follow this group of archaeological maniacs to the tomb full of traps.
"Then, among Menes' many artifacts, there was an item called the [Wonder Orb]. It is one of the most mysterious and powerful magic weapons in the world, and it reflects the wishes of its wielder. "
"Uh...... What?" Bediwell began to be confused.
"Captain Bedeville, your wish is to find your long-lost son, right?" added Academician Zust coldly.
Bediwell was indeed stunned this time. I didn't expect the Brotherhood to know about him to such an extent, and even this secret that almost no one knew! Even if he did, he only mentioned it to King Arthur alone! There shouldn't be a third person in this world who knows about it?!
"Looks like I'm right. Academician Zust didn't seem too sure, and it was only at this moment that the matter was confirmed according to Bediwell's reaction. Then he began to persuade with more confidence: "If you use the Reflection Orb, you may be able to find your son in no time." The orb will reflect your son's current appearance and location, even if it is thousands of miles away. With the clues provided by the Wonder Orb, it will be much easier to find the loved one you are looking for. ------Well, if I say that, you're finally tempted, aren't you?Tomorrow evening, at ten o'clock in the evening, in this assembly place, are you going to dig with us?"
"Let's ...... Let me think about it...... What you said about the Reflection Orb, but it's true?"
"No one can be 100% sure of the truth of something unless they see it with their own eyes. Academician Zust said: "The matter of the Yingqi Orb was also learned by the Brotherhood after a lot of literature research. But how credible is this literature? No one knows.
No one can guarantee that the Orb of Wonder will exist, or that it will be found in the tomb of Menes.
I must admit to you that the risks and rewards of this excavation are completely disproportionate, you may risk your life and get nothing, or you may experience nine deaths and a lifetime, only to find that the so-called Reflection Orb is just a useless waste prop. If I say that, are you going to come along?"
Bediwell snorted. The other party's tricks of leading people to fish are really superb, and he even wants to catch first. It's a pity that Bediwell is not stupid, and he probably sees through what the other party uses.
"Come on. Come of course. As long as there is a way to find my son, no matter how slim the chances, even if it may end up being just a wasted effort, I am willing to try. The werewolf youth said, "Are you satisfied with my answer?"
"What the hell are you trying to imply, Captain Bedwell?" Academician Zust smiled mysteriously, as if Bedeville were testing him, and he was testing Bedeville.
"Let me be clear. The werewolf youth then said, "It's all a game, isn't it? You are carrying out an unprecedented excavation of the century, and you need more powerful personnel support. So you let that idiot Lawrence join the guild, hoping to catch the famous strategist Lawrence Jr. through Big Lawrence. You could have said something to the Muhammad Merchant Group so that the Merchant Group would not kill the Great Lawrence, but you did nothing, and watched as the Great Lawrence was attacked and poisoned by the Carchanter's killers. ...... No, although I don't want to think so, but is it possible, there are no killers of the merchant group at all, and even the one who attacked the Great Lawrence is also your people, right?"
"This is absolutely impossible, the killing skills of the Muhammad merchant killers cannot be replicated. Zust clarified: "The recipe for these deadly poisons alone has been an unsolved mystery for thousands of years. "
"Well, it's okay, and if your people don't attack Lawrence, it's the people of the merchant group. Bediwell then continued to say with a flat face, "But that doesn't change the fact that you won't save Big Lawrence. The reason why you are doing this is simply to act in front of me, so that I can come here to save Lawrence and listen to your pleas. Am I right?"
"It's funny, but you've forgotten something, Captain Bedwell. Zust smiled indifferently: "Your encounter with this Lawrence brother is completely unpredictable and accidental. We can't control that, so how can we make it all go as we want?"
Bediwell also smiled indifferently: "It's very simple. Because you didn't intend to lure me into fishing from the beginning. Your original target wasn't me at all, but Lawrence the Strategist, right?"
Zust's brow moved slightly.
"That stupid guy in Big Lawrence was supposed to be working in a hotel, and he had asked his brother over early in the morning to discuss joining. If it weren't for the fact that I was in the hotel and ran into Big Lawrence first, maybe the two brothers would have started talking, and then everything would have gone according to your plan, and Big Lawrence was attacked by the assassins of the Muhammad Merchant Order in the back alley, and it was Lawrence Jr. who brought his poisoned and dying brother to this meeting place to listen to your brother's pleas. As a result, although I messed up and disrupted your plans, you kept everything going according to plan, and almost succeeded in convincing me to participate in your digging tomorrow night. I guess I'm not wrong, right?"
"You're smart, Captain Beddivi. Academician Zust then breathed a sigh of relief: "You have seen through almost all of our plans. While there are still many details that are not right, your guess is largely correct. "
"So, you lied to me. And after you have cheekily performed this scene in front of me, you still expect me to help you work? Just because of this illusory [Reflection Orb] that can't even stand up for existence?" Bediwell smiled indifferently, "Do you think I really believe in the existence of such a thing?"
"When you see through everything, our words may not be taken to your heart. Academician Zust smiled mysteriously, "But please pay attention, Captain Bedeville.
There are truths and lies within any force in this world. No one will be completely honest with you, and no one will be completely lying. Some people tell you most of the truth, but they lie in the most critical places, and that's the most terrible.
So please look, look with your heart, and see what these people have said to you, what they want you to do, and what they can give you.
I can swear to God, one of the things I said to you before is absolutely true------ we need your luck, Captain Bedeville.
Someone in the Brotherhood had predicted that the excavation would not have been possible without the luck of Captain Bedwell. And most of the people in the fraternity believed it. Therefore, even if we do not rely on the introduction of the Lawrence brothers this time, we will definitely find other ways to get in touch with you, and it is all just a matter of form. "
The werewolf youth smiled contemptuously, "Yet you still put Lawrence in an extremely dangerous position, using him as bait in the hope of catching me." Is such an organization really worth trusting?"
"He'll be fine. Our brother has already brought the antidote serum, and if the Lawrence brothers are really in such a critical situation, the serum will be used. The brothers of the Brotherhood have been secretly protecting the Lawrence brothers, and you don't need to worry about that at all. "
"Hehe, yes. After hearing this, Bediwell dropped a sentence and turned away: "------ then, goodbye." "
"Cairo Public Grand Library. Academician Zust said, "If you still doubt whether the Reflection Orb is real, you can go to the library and check the information. You'll find many of the legends of the first pharaoh Menes, as well as the centuries-old tombs where they were buried. "
"I'll check it out when I have time. "Bedivel has come a long way.
The masked man approached Academician Zust and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to chase it?"
"Nope. Let him go. Academician Zust smiled confidently: "He will definitely come back." The curiosity of the unknown has far overridden his doubts. "
