Chapter 335: Learning Is My Joy
It's time to shop!
As the only woman in the team, Evelyn is full of excitement, no matter what era, shopping is always an indelible gene hidden deep in the genes of women, no matter how delicate and weak they are born, as long as it comes to shopping, it is definitely a veteran of the battlefield.
In addition, Evelyn already has a lot of money, so even though she has prepared two large suitcases of luggage, she still wants to have a blast in Giza Port.
And Jonathan had just gotten a valuable diamond ring, so he naturally wanted to spend it and treat his body, and like Evelyn, he quickly disappeared from silent sight.
In the end, only Silent and O'Connor remained.
Shen Mo himself didn't have anything to buy, he just needed to contact O'Connor with O'Connor to get to the ship to Hamna Tower while everyone was shopping.
And O'Connor now urgently needs to buy some clean clothes, as well as some guns and ammunition to use around his body, but it's a pity that the money in his pocket is cleaner than his face, and he has no money to buy the materials he needs.
Seeing O'Connor's embarrassment, Silent said bluntly, "Let's hire the ships first, and when we're done, I'll give you a sum of money, and you can use them freely." β
O'Connor nodded heavily, he knew that now was not the time to refuse, because he really needed the money, otherwise, when he arrived at Hamnata, he would definitely die without weapons.
But O'Connor became more and more curious in his heart, why did a master like Shen Mo, who had both strength and money, have to go to the city of the dead in Hamnata? Isn't it fragrant to take a few wives comfortably and give birth to a lot of children?!
O'Connor's main consideration for joining the British army, in addition to serving the country, was to get a lot of condolences or a windfall when he invaded Egypt, and then go home to eat and drink spicy food and have a good time.
So, O'Connor didn't understand the silent behavior at all, and didn't know what he was trying to do.
"Mr. Shen, we don't need to hire a boat, there is no direct ship to the Hamna Tower that we want to reach, we must first take the boat that departs every day, and after arriving at the small town of Sham, we will cross the Arabian Desert... Wait until dawn to see the legendary Hamna Tower. Before we set off, I was personally very curious, why would someone like you go to Hamna Tower? β
Shen looked at O'Connor, he had already answered this question to Evelyn, and naturally replied with ease, "I went to Hamna Tower to choose the legendary Black Book of the Dead and resurrect a person... Specific details, if you still want to know, you can come to my room in the evening and we will talk slowly, after all, this is not the place to talk. β
O'Connor paused, and he chewed on the words of silence, except for the so-called off-string sounds, according to the meaning of silence, silence should be a person who is superstitious in ancient Egyptian myths and legends, and wants to resurrect a person with the help of the mysterious power of ancient Egypt.
Hehe, is this possible?!
O'Connor recalled the huge desert face he had seen at the Tower of Hamna... Perhaps, it is really possible, Hamnata is a very strange and evil place.
After understanding the purpose of silence, O'Connor's mind was also settled, and after knowing the purpose of his employer, he was more or less confident in his heart.
Isn't it just to take them to the Tower of Hamna to find a book called the Black Book of the Dead?
As for the later resurrection link, O'Connor selectively ignored this matter.
"Well, I hope you can get your wish!"
After O'Connor finished speaking, he took Shen Mo to arrange the ship, and when the ferry ticket was set, Shen Mo gave O'Connor some rubies as planned to fund his purchase of supplies.
Shen Mo also knew that the value of the rubies he gave far exceeded the value of the materials purchased, but the most worthless things in his hands were these gems, and he could only arrange them like this.
Rich people sometimes have troubles!
It's just that the troubles of rich people are always so unpretentious and boring.
When the sun was about to sink into the Nile, Evelyn and Jonathan rushed over with seven or eight port coolies, carrying a full load of goods, most of which Evelyn bought for herself were new clothes, and travel is a necessary daily necessities for women, and Jonathan not only bought daily necessities, but also bought two beautiful and young women, which is called "The Journey to the Nile Without Loneliness"
In this regard, everyone could only give Jonathan a disdainful look, this bastard actually took the money that Shen Mo gave him to find a woman, it was simply mad. Fortunately, Jonathan's sister Evelyn stepped forward and drove away the two women, strangling Jonathan's so-called "Journey to the Nile without Loneliness" dream in the cradle.
As for O'Connor ... The rejuvenated O'Connor regained his due handsomeness and gentlemanliness, and it is no exaggeration to say that if there was no silent appearance, Evelyn would definitely be attracted by O'Connor's handsome appearance, and then in the following operation, she couldn't help falling in love with the captain.
It's a pity that Evelyn's heart is now only thinking about continuing to discuss ancient Egyptian culture with Shen Mo, as well as those two books of legends, and she doesn't take O'Connor in her eyes at all.
The crowd soon boarded the ship, and with a shrill roar, the journey to Hamna Tower began.
Whew!
On the deck, Shen Mo stood at the bow of the boat, while enjoying the night view of the Nile, while distracting himself from the other passengers on the ship, on the table not far from the silence, there was a group of white people who spoke American English, loudly discussing the magic and wealth of Hamna Tower, it is obvious that they are the Americans who rushed to Hamna Tower with O'Connor and others under the leadership of Benny in the original story.
And the end of these Americans was not good, Shen Mo clearly remembers that the glasses wearing the eyes and tongue were gouged out alive, and finally sucked dry, and none of the few companions beside him could escape such a fate.
Shen Mo couldn't help but ponder this, he thought of Immorton's curse, as long as he opened the box containing the Black Sutra of the Undead and Immorton's organs, he would be cursed, face Immorton's pursuit, and become a victim of his mana.
The problem he faced was that he had to open Immorton's box and take out the Black Book of the Dead, but he didn't want to suffer from Immorton's curse, although Shen Mo had the divine skill purification to remove the curse, but who could be 100% sure that Immorton's pursuit would disappear together after the curse was gone?
He didn't want to take the risk, so the fate of these Americans would not change in any way, and they were doomed to death the moment they boarded the ship.
Silent looked away from the Americans, and he looked again at the dark lake with the faint reflection of the moonlight, and soon found seven or eight canoes carrying Egyptians dressed in black, murderously chasing the ship where Silent was.
"Huh?! Descendants of the Pharaohs! How did they show up?! β
Silent frowned, according to the original plot, the reason why the descendants of the pharaoh found O'Connor and others was because Evelyn told the museum director about the key to the Hamna Tower, and after being told by the curator, she was killed.
But now the situation is that Shen Mo has reminded Evelyn not to tell the curator about Hamnata about it, so why are they still being hunted down by the descendants of the Pharaoh?!
Could it be that Evelyn lied? She didn't go according to her plan? Or maybe Jonathan is this kid who has revealed something unabashedly?
Thinking about it silently, he didn't know what the problem was, and he didn't need to dwell on what the problem was, because the enemy was already catching up with the ship, and it wouldn't be long before he boarded it.
He had to do something, whether it was to prevent the descendants of the Pharaoh from boarding the ship or to leave the ship with Evelyn and the others, he had to make a choice immediately.
Shen Mo pondered for a moment, and quickly made a decision, he definitely couldn't run, because Shen Mo couldn't guarantee that after he and the others left early, the Americans would be able to survive the pursuit of the descendants of the Pharaoh, and if they died, who would help Shen Mo open the box and resist the curse.
Therefore, the only option left for silence is to stay on the ship and open the killing ring with the descendants of these pharaohs. or... They weren't allowed to get on board at all.
A flash of light flashed in his silent mind, and information about the special effect skills of [Dragon God Reverse Scale Armor] quickly appeared in his mind.
γDragon God's Blessing (Passive Skill), wearing this armor, you will be blessed by the Dragon God, and you will gain the ability to travel the four seas like the Dragon God. γ
Looking at the Nile River with silver-white moonlight silently, he couldn't help but think in his heart, the Nile River is also a sea, right? Its final flow seems to be the Red Sea, and it should be able to swim with the word "sea"!
Poof! Shen Mo put on the dragon god anti-scale armor and jumped into the Nile, the icy river water did not swallow Shen Mo as he imagined, but raised a warm air current, like a heavy and kind hand, supporting Shen Mo whole.
Suddenly, he felt like he was in touch with the river, as if the water was his final destination, and he moved his limbs and gently stirred the waves beside him, and a one-meter-high wave stirred up and swooped forward.
And Shen Mo raised his eyebrows, like a dragon entering a river, following the tide and stirring out.
He put on the dragon god's anti-scale armor, which is silence in the waves!
This Nile is the world of silence in his waves.
Whoa! The waves swept in, and the silence hidden beneath the surface of the Nile swept towards the canoe of the Pharaoh's descendants at an extremely swift speed, and in just a few breaths, the silence came under their boat.
In the face of the sudden rolling waves, the descendants of these pharaohs were very surprised, it stands to reason that there would not be such strange waves in the Nile Valley, but they did encounter them, and these waves still came against the current...
Not good! One of the descendants of the Pharaoh in the lead realizes that the situation is not good, and as they are well aware of the mysterious power that exists in this world, their knowledge and adaptability are far beyond ordinary people.
"Everyone, be careful, there's something underwater!"
Before the leader's words fell, I saw a whirlpool suddenly roll up under their canoe, and this whirlpool became larger and larger with the time of agitation, and the scope involved became more and more extensive, although their canoe was very fast, it was difficult to escape this level of vortex strangulation.
They could only cling to the canoe in despair, and the supplicant sun god could bless them from death, but the sun god they believed in could hear their hearts until they were swallowed up by the whirlpool, and the so-called miracle did not happen.
The descendants of the pharaohs who came to assassinate Shen Mo and the others died in the Nile before they could board the boat.
Dada!
When Shen Mo stepped onto the deck again, there was not a single water stain on his body, as if he had never been in the water at all, and the broken ships, and the remains of the descendants of the pharaohs, were left far behind as the ships continued onward.
"Hey! Mr. Shen, tonight's night is really beautiful! Jonathan pretended to appreciate the beautiful scenery and wanted to talk to Shen Mo, but was directly ignored by Shen Mo, because Shen Mo didn't like this man who used his own money to find a woman.
Jonathan, who had eaten the closed door, had to smile awkwardly, and then sat down at the American table, "Hey, friend, do you want to have a few." Small gambling on the Nile can be a lot of fun. β
Silently glanced at Jonathan, who should not be gambling, and went straight back to the cabin, since the descendants of the Pharaoh have been dealt with, at least they are safe during this time, so it is always good to go to the cabin to rest first.
But as soon as Shen Mo was about to enter his cabin, he bumped into Evelyn with a thin veil, wearing the small glasses that the old doctor liked to bring, holding a basically thick ancient book about the history of ancient Egypt in her hand, standing expectantly outside the silent door.
"Hey! Shen, I just knocked on your door, I thought you were inside..."
"I just went to the deck to see the night view."
"It must be beautiful... What now? Would you like to join me in talking about the history of Ancient Egypt? Evelyn smiled shyly, her eyes full of anticipation.
Looking at the beautiful lady in silence, he wanted to refuse at first, but in the spirit of learning the basic principles that make me happy, he reluctantly agreed to Evelyn's request.
Excellent men are always on the way to study or learn, and silence is naturally inevitable.
"Of course, I just want to know a little bit about the history of ancient Egypt, especially the history of Seti I, before I get to the Tower of Hamna."
Why is Shen Mo more curious about Seti I, because Immorton is the high priest of Seti I, and it is precisely because Immorton slept with Seti I's favorite concubine and murdered Seti I that Immorton was subjected to the most terrible insect devouring penal law and became a monster for 3,000 years.
Shen Mo wondered if this real history had been recorded in the ancient books that had been handed down.
That's right! That's all!
Shen Mo didn't have any extra thoughts about the teacher he was learning with, that is, Miss Evelyn.
