Chapter 333: Make a Offer

"Miss Evelyn!" Shen Mo made a gentleman's appearance and said with a smile, "The reason why I want to get these two books is not for my own selfish interests, but because I have some hidden feelings. As I said, I can't read ancient Egyptian or monk hieroglyphs, so you can still read these two books and study them. The only thing I ask of you is that you must not utter the incantation of the resurrection of the dead without my consent. ”

"Really? Would you like to give me these two books to study? Evelyn's face was filled with excitement, the reason why she was entangled was the extreme desire and pursuit of ancient Egyptian history in her heart, which is a rare quality as a scholar, and silence naturally has some respect for such a person.

"My words count." Shen Mo stretched out his right hand, "Miss Evelyn, I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

"Happy working together!" Evelyn clenched her silent hand, her gratitude and excitement palpable.

"Hey! I said brother! Can you tell me what is the secret of what you are talking about? Why don't I let my sister recite the incantation to resurrect the dead? Could those two books really resurrect the dead? Jonathan is not as enthusiastic about ancient Egyptian culture as his sister Evelyn, and he can see problems that Evelyn can't see, so he asks Shen Mo about the purpose of finding ancient books, which can be regarded as a thorough investigation of Shen Mo's origins.

"Jonathan! Are you kidding? How can there be a spell in this world that resurrects the undead? The reason why Shen said this may be because he has other concerns! If he doesn't want to say, we don't need to ask. Evelyn eased her brother Jonathan's rude questioning.

"It's okay! It's not a big deal, I can tell you, as I believe you. Shen Mo waved his hand and continued, "My purpose in seeking these two books is to resurrect a man who was my guide, who died in the line of duty not long ago, but I know that he should not die, because there are still many things waiting for him to do. Therefore, I searched all over the mountains and rivers, tracing the mysteries and footprints of the ancients, hoping to find a way to resurrect him. And those two books may be the hope of resurrecting him. ”

Shen Mo took the key from Evelyn's hand, pointed to the key and muttered, "It is the key to open the two scriptures, it is said that the Black Book of the Dead has the ability to resurrect the undead, but it also seals a monster that has been sleeping for 3,000 years, if we don't use it properly, it is very likely to bring disaster to Egypt and the whole world." ”

Evelyn was thoughtful and almost blurted out, "Are you talking about the Ten Calamities?!" ”

Shen Mo nodded, after Immorton was resurrected, he would bring ten plagues to Egypt, namely blood and floods, frogs, lice plagues, flies, animal plagues, bubble plagues, hail plagues, locust plagues, and dark plagues.

These catastrophes were not only a manifestation of Immorton's strength, but also a manifestation of ancient Egyptian mythological prophecies.

Evelyn and Jonathan looked at each other, they didn't believe Shen Mo's words, after all, in their eyes, they still thought that what Shen Mo said was nothing more than legends, a joke made up by the Israelis to deceive children.

"Shen, are you telling the truth?" Evelyn questioned that her three views had not been reshaped by Immorton, and it was normal to have this performance.

Silent smiled, "When we reach the Tower of Hamna, you will take my word for it. Remember, if you want to get what you want safely, whether it's the scriptures or wealth, you have to pay attention to my advice, otherwise the consequences will be severe! ”

In the original plot, it was Evelyn who released Immorton, and Silent didn't want to face the resurrected Immorton coldly, he absolutely controlled Immorton's resurrection time, so as to increase his chances of resealing Immorton.

Evelyn and Jonathan nodded, whether what Shen Mo said was true or not, they had to reach the Hamna Tower first, as the saying goes, seeing is believing and hearing is false, and their three views need to be crushed by the crushing level before they can realize that this world is not the world they understand.

"Alright! Let's get ready to go, and before we do that, I'll have to tell the museum's director, who is also an expert on ancient Egyptian culture, and maybe he can give us some good advice. ”

Evelyn said, trying to retrieve the key from Silence's hand and give the treasure map to the curator to read.

Shen Mo's brows furrowed, and he directly refused, "Miss Evelyn, this is my first piece of advice for you, don't tell the curator about this. Otherwise, we will be killed. ”

Evelyn "??? ”

Why? Although the curator is mean, treacherous, stingy, and stubborn, he is not an outlaw, how could he bring them death.

"Quite simply, because the curators of this museum are descendants of the Pharaohs, and they are responsible for guarding the Hamna Tower, not allowing anyone to step into the holy place, and not allowing any living person to leave the holy place. If you told him the information that we got Hamnata together, guess what he would do? ”

Evelyn's hand raised in mid-air stiffened, and her back was even more cold, if it was really as Shen Mo said, then she told the curator the news, it was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and the old hen gave the weasel food, and sent to death.

"Shen! Are you sure the curator is a descendant of the Pharaohs? Do you know that from Seti I to the present, but there is a history of 3,000 years, will the descendants of the pharaohs still exist? ”

"Because 3,000 years have passed, their number is now more than you can imagine."

Truly! The descendants of the pharaoh have formed a semi-modern army, which already has the strength to crush the regular British army, covering the whole of Egypt, which can be described as the hegemony of Egypt.

If it weren't for the fact that their duty was to guard the Tower of Hamna, the British would not have been able to occupy Egypt at all.

Evelyn looked at Silent Firmness's eyes, and somewhat believed Silence's words in her heart, because she couldn't afford the consequences of this matter, and in the spirit of believing it rather than believing it, Evelyn decided to hide it from the curator.

"Alright! I'm not going to tell the curator about it, but I'll have to ask him for a leave of absence, you know, I love my job, even though it's just a librarian. ”

Shen Mo put the key away and instructed, "Okay, you go and take care of your business, I'll go find my friend, this afternoon, before the sun sets, we will meet in the port of Giza and board the passenger ship to our destination." ”

"Okay! See you in the afternoon! ”

"Wait! Friend, I don't have any work to arrange, so why don't you let me follow you, after all, we're a team now. Jonathan gave his sister a look, obviously afraid that Shen Mo would run away with the key, which was to stare at the rhythm of Shen Mo, and Shen Mo didn't mind this, after all, he also needed Evelyn's ability to translate the ancient Egyptian and hieroglyphs on the Black Book of the Dead for him.

"No problem, but my friend will greet you cordially if he sees you."

If it weren't for Jonathan getting O'Connor drunk and taking away the money and keys from the other party, O'Connor would not have been thrown into prison at all, facing the life and death crisis of hanging.

That's right! Egypt in 1926 was so simple and rude, the simplest and most direct way to deal with criminals was a rope, and even more, they would gamble with the lives of criminals, if the criminal's neck was broken at the first time, it was a gambling method, if it could not be broken, it was another gambling method.

Shen Mo took Jonathan as a follower and went straight out of the Antiquities Museum, when the two gun-wielding security guards at the door saw Shen Mo, they were confused, they didn't know when Shen Mo had sneaked into the museum, if it weren't for Jonathan and Shen Mo being very familiar, they would even pick up the gun in their hands and ask Shen Mo about his origin.

Jonathan hooked his shoulders and looked familiar, "Friend, you've just been in Cairo!" Don't you know the location of Cairo prison, it doesn't matter, I know you very well, so I'll take you to your friend, how did you know O'Connor, he was a British captain before..."

Jonathan seems to be chatting, but in fact, he is continuing to talk about silence, wanting to know more about the details and origin of silence. What Shen Mo said about seeking rivers and mountains to resurrect his friends is simply untenable in the eyes of Jonathan, who has the word Eli.

Although Jonathan's sister Evelyn believed Silence's words, Johnnarthan himself was skeptical and cautious, otherwise he would not have followed Silence to O'Connor.

Shen Mo glanced at Jonathan and sneered, "You may not believe it, O'Connor doesn't know me, but I know him." ”

"Huh?!" Jonathan was stunned for a moment, his brows tightened, and secretly said that this kid really had a problem, "Mr. Shen, this is not a good answer, you had better explain this question clearly." ”

Looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle in silence, his deep eyes revealed a strange brilliance, "Jonathan, there are more and more magical existences in this world than you have ever seen, if you are still struggling with such trivial things, you will miss a lot, such as the opportunity to become the richest man in the world." ”

Jonathan fell silent, obviously, Shen Mo didn't want to answer his question, and he had no reason to continue to ask, but he secretly told himself in his heart that he must keep an eye on Shen Mo, because you don't know your teammates, it is a very dangerous thing in this era, and the last person who didn't realize this was already squatting in the prison in Cairo, waiting for them to rescue him.

After a while, the two arrived at the prison in Cairo. This is not so much a prison as a casino, because in addition to the prisoners, there are also many outlaw gamblers who come to participate in the hanging gambling in Cairo prison, which has become a well-known practice in chaotic Egypt.

Jonathan spoke to the prison guards and received two tickets to enter the casino, which was to enter the prison for a £3 tip, and they soon arrived outside the prison where O'Connor was being held, and met O'Connor himself through the iron gate.

"Damn! You bastard, give me my money back. O'Connor's first instinct when he saw Jonathan was to rush out and beat him up, but the heavy shackles restricted his movements, and the iron gate separated the two.

Smack! O'Connor's two guards whipped O'Connor with whips to punish him for his rudeness in breaking free.

"Enough!" Shen silently shouted to stop the guards, walked straight to the iron gate, and said to O'Connor, "O'Connor, you don't know me, but I know you, and now there are two choices in front of you, first, I will save you, and you will listen to me." Second...

Before the silent words could be finished, O'Connor decisively chose the first option, "I'll choose the first one, and now, save me immediately, no matter what you ask me to do." I just want to get out of this damn place as soon as possible. ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "I want you to take us to Hamna Tower!" Although we already have a map, it will definitely be much more convenient to have someone lead the way. ”

Forehead?! O'Connor's face changed, and he couldn't help but recall what had happened to his troops three years ago, after that killing, he was the only one who escaped from Hamnata alive, and he vowed never to set foot in Hamnata again, but compared to the current situation, Hamnata was a paradise, at least there was no hanging.

"No problem! Go anywhere! Get me out of here, these bastards are going to gamble with my lives. ”

Smack! As soon as O'Connor finished speaking, he was set up by two guards, apparently to be taken to the gallows, and according to the gambling cycle of Cairo prison, it would not be long before O'Connor took his turn.

"Jonathan, take me to the warden, we need to save O'Connor from him before he hangs him."

"Okay, but that money-hungry warden will definitely sit on the ground and raise the price, you'd better bring enough money, let me state first, I don't have a dime."

"Money is not an issue!"

"Then there's no problem!"

Countless gamblers and prisoners surrounded the gallows, like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, cheering and shouting for the death row prisoners on the gallows, waving the bills in their hands, gambling on the lives of others and gambling on the blood-stained riches.

"You want to take someone from me?!" The warden is a middle-aged man with a fat brain, and he has been immersed in this atmosphere of killing and gambling for so long that he has become bitter and greedy for money, "which would require a lot of bail." ”

Silently glanced at the hanged passerby on the gallows, and O'Connor who was waiting, "Make a price!" ”

Well! The warden gave his men a look, and O'Connor was tied to the gallows in advance, "That's up to your own sincerity." ”

Shen Mo sneered, and with a stroke of his wrist, he took out a diamond about the size of a quail egg from the Tongtian Demon Realm, and threw it to the prison warden with a snort.

This diamond was just the most inconspicuous of the countless gems for Shen Mo, and the gems he had obtained in the underground world were too many.

Hiss! The warden took the diamond in a panic, then stared at it in disbelief, swearing that he had never seen a diamond of such a large size in his life, and that it was of extremely high quality and worth a lot of money.

As the saying goes, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.

The warden naturally knew the value of this diamond, and it was obvious that he had caught a big fish today, so he suppressed the restlessness in his heart and pretended to be calm and said, "This... That's not enough. His life was worth more than that. ”

When the warden said this, his heart was empty, because the value of this diamond was enough to buy the entire prison for death row inmates.

Hum?! Shen Mo snorted coldly, and a pair of cold eyes stared directly at the prison warden, glancing at him.

"Are you sure!?"
