Chapter 207: The Tower of Hamna
When Atwood brought O'Connor to Jian Mingyue, O'Connor's face was still full of frustration. Although he came back alive www.biquge.info all his comrades-in-arms died in the desert, which was a very bad feeling. And when he came out of the desert, he didn't bring a drop of food or water, it was not easy to get out alive, and he still hasn't recovered, and his body is still very weak. Frustrated and weak, it's no wonder that his state can get better.
Jian Mingyue waved her hand to let Atwood leave, and then asked, "You've been to Hamna Tower and brought back one thing, haven't you?" ”
O'Connor's temper was hard, and though he was weak, he was not at all polite, and said, "Who are you?" Why am I answering your question? ”
Mike was next to him and just wanted to teach him a lesson, but just as he had this meaning, Jian Mingyue waved his hand, asked him to retreat, and continued to say to O'Connor: "Let's be straight, I want to go to Hamna Tower, and I need you to lead the way." And what you brought out of there, I need too. So what do you need? Money? Status? Or something else? As long as you make an offer, I can satisfy you. ”
O'Connor was dumbfounded, "Anything you want?" Shall I live forever? ”
Jian Mingyue thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible, but it's not a particularly beautiful thing to be immortal, especially when you watch your relatives, friends, and children all grow old, and finally die, leaving you alone, that kind of feeling Many people will feel that life is better than death." But it doesn't matter, if you live enough, you can kill yourself, so it's not a big problem. ”
O'Connor pouted, "Do you think I'll believe that?" Let's be practical. ”
Jian Mingyue spread her hands and said, "You brought this up, I just cooperated with you." Since you want practical, what exactly do you want? ”
O'Connor leaned over and said, "I want a beautiful wife, like you!" ”
Jian Mingyue shook her head amusedly and said, "If you want to be my man, you must at least be stronger than me." What's your strongest? Power, or marksmanship? ”
O'Connor was surprised, "What do you mean?" Do you want to compete with me in strength and marksmanship? Beautiful young lady, are you kidding, or are you insane? ”
Jian Mingyue took out a coin and threw it into the sky, and then a gun suddenly appeared in her hand, and she shot it casually without even looking at it, and the coin that had just begun to fall was knocked away. Mike went to pick up the coin and put it in front of O'Connor, O'Connor's eyes widened when he saw it, the coin actually had a hole pierced through the center, as if it had been measured with a ruler and drilled out!
O'Connor swallowed, straightened his chest and said, "I'm going to compete with you!" ”
Jian Mingyue smiled, reached out and picked up the silver wine jug on the table, poured the fine wine inside on the ground at will, absorbed by the delicate carpet, and then grabbed the empty wine jug in her hand, rubbed her hands together, and rubbed the wine jug into a solid silver ball! With one hand, he left five clear fingerprints on the silver ball and placed them in front of O'Connor.
O'Connor looked stupid, picked up the silver ball and tested the hardness, and then looked up at Jian Mingyue, his mouth grinning enough to stuff his fist. Jian Mingyue smiled at him and asked, "If you can do it too, I will admit defeat." ”
O'Connor hung his head and said, "No, it's me who admits defeat." Are you really a woman? I think you're a monster! ”
Jian Mingyue ignored his question and said, "You want a beautiful wife, I really have a suitable candidate here." Her name is Eve, and she is a librarian in Cairo and an expert on ancient Egyptian culture. I happen to need her in addition to you. ”
O'Connor said disapprerovingly: "Is it the kind of old woman with thick lenses and rough edges?" Do you think I'm a good fit for that kind of woman? ”
Jian Mingyue still ignored him, turned to Mike and said, "Go and invite Miss Eve to come, just say that I need an ancient Egyptian teacher, and the price is high." ”
Mike's movements were fast, and an hour later, Eve was already sitting across from Jian Mingyue. O'Connor, on the other hand, looked at Eve dumbly, feeling captivated. But Eve looks down on him a little, although O'Connor is very handsome, but he should be in bad shape recently, so he looks a little sloppy and decadent, so Eve doesn't pay attention to him at all.
Jian Mingyue looked amused and said, "O'Connor, going to Hamnata is a dangerous activity, so you need to have a good body. You'll have to recuperate in the last few days, and we'll set off again after you've recovered. Now you go with Mike and choose a room to stay in. ”
As soon as she heard about Hamnata Tower, Eve's eyes lit up, and when O'Connor left, she asked tentatively, "You want to go to Hamnata Tower?" Do you have a clue? I...... Well...... I mean, you guys should need an expert in ancient Egypt, and I think I can do that. ”
Jian Mingyue said deliberately: "Miss Eve, since you are an expert in ancient Egypt, you should understand what the Tower of Hamna represents, it is the city of the dead, it is a very dangerous place, I don't think it is suitable for a beautiful young lady like you." ”
Eve hurriedly said, "No, I'm very suitable!" I am familiar with ancient Egyptian history and culture, I can read and write ancient Egyptian characters and hieroglyphs of monks, and ......"
Jian Mingyue interrupted: "Okay, since you're not afraid of death, then just come, anyway, there won't be much of you." But before you can do that, you'll have to teach me the ancient Egyptian script, and the monk hieroglyphs. ”
Eve clenched her fists excitedly and said, "Of course, I will teach you everything I will!" However, if you want to learn ancient Egyptian script, it is not possible to do it in a short time, when are you going to explore? Just on the road, you can learn while walking, and it is too boring to save it. ”
Jian Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay, let's start now." ”
As soon as she started teaching, Eve was stunned by Jian Mingyue's learning ability! The average person has to study the ancient Egyptian language for at least several years, or even a lifetime, but here in Jian Mingyue, it is as simple as one plus one. In fact, for Jian Mingyue, a foreign language is really not difficult, and the highest level in the system is level ten. With Eve, a ninth-level expert, personally taught, it was easy to increase proficiency by simply reading and writing more.
More than half a month later, Jian Mingyue's ancient Egyptian level was on par with Eve's, but Eve still ran here every day, racking her brains to teach Jian Mingyue other knowledge, lest Jian Mingyue leave her to explore if she didn't come for a day.
In addition to Jian Mingyue, O'Connor is also one of the reasons why she always likes to run here. After O'Connor cleaned up, his handsome appearance was revealed, which immediately made Eve change his opinion of him. And O'Connor had a good impression of Eve from the beginning, and the relationship between the two gradually became ambiguous.
After half a month of recuperation, O'Connor's body has fully recovered, and all the supplies prepared by Mike are also complete, Jian Mingyue decided to set off immediately to find the Tower of Hamna.
The fact that a shrine maiden appeared in Cairo is known to many people. Mike has prepared a caravan and a large amount of supplies to prepare for the desert expedition, and there are also many people who are paying attention. Therefore, when Jian Mingyue and them set off, Jian Mingyue found that several teams of people were quietly following them.
If others go looking for treasure, most people will think it's, or even death. But if the person looking for the treasure is a shrine maiden, it will be different. The shrine maiden has the ability that ordinary people don't have, and since she decided to find the treasure, there is a chance that she will succeed nine times out of ten, and the others naturally want to follow suit.
For these people, Jian Mingyue pretended not to see them and let them follow. It's not that Jian Mingyue is generous, but that if Immorton wants to be resurrected, he needs to devour the flesh and blood of the living. She didn't want to feed Immorton with her own people, and those who wanted to take advantage of it could take advantage of it.
At the beginning, Jian Mingyue and the others also took a boat and traveled along the Nile River first. Not long after the boat left, it was still attacked by the men in black as in the original plot. However, with Jian Mingyue here, the man in black naturally couldn't take any advantage, and before he could climb onto the boat, Jian Mingyue sank their boat by a few small fireballs and let them go into the water to swim.
For these people in black, Jian Mingyue still has respect for them. They can protect Hamnata for 3,000 years, I don't know how many generations, and they never forget their duties, this perseverance is very rare, so she didn't kill her, just don't let them make trouble for herself.
Since they didn't get off the boat halfway, Jian Mingyue's trip was shortened by nearly half. After getting off the boat at the closest place to Hamna Tower, I rode my camel for most of the day and arrived at the place. However, they could not find the Hamna Tower immediately when they arrived at the place, and it would not be visible until sunrise, so they had to camp for another day.
During the small half day and night of camping, the people who followed them also arrived. To these people, Jian Mingyue would not be polite, and a few small fireballs smashed over, making them understand that they could only stay five hundred meters away and were not allowed to approach.
When she was on the ship before, Jian Mingyue's boat that sank the man in black was done quietly, and Eve didn't see it. This time, she saw with her own eyes that Jian Mingyue could emit a small fireball with a wave of her hand that was comparable to that of a cannonball, which was not something that a normal person could do at all! At this time, she believed that it was reasonable for the people of Cairo to say that Jian Mingyue was a witch, and she was really a witch. However, Eve's temperament is a little arrogant, not only did she not feel afraid, but she was very research-minded and wanted to talk to Jian Mingyue about this issue. It's a pity that Jian Mingyue didn't say a word in this regard, so she could only return disappointed.
By the dawn of the next day, Jian Mingyue and the others were already ready to go, and then when they watched the Hamna Tower gradually appear with the sunrise, everyone was very excited, urging the camels to run towards the city that appeared out of thin air. Those who were cheap also hurriedly followed, and it was good to have no meat and some soup. (To be continued.) )
