Chapter 91: I don't sleep in the middle of the night and listen to stories together
"Go back and tell Ade-Bey, I'm waiting for him at Hamnata. β
Ade-Bay is one of the leaders of these Guardians, the black-clad Guardian in the film who has a facial tattoo and later becomes friends with the protagonists.
Basically, these people who ran out to encircle and intercept and wanted to get close to Hamnata were all Adebe's men, so Ethan was not worried that his words would not reach that person's ears.
He didn't have any special thoughts when he summoned Adebe, but he didn't want to be in a hurry, and these Guardians would come out in batches to make trouble, and there was actually no reason to talk about these people, they were just determined to do the work they thought should be done.
Throwing the frightened man in black into the river, Ethan continued to walk around the boat, throwing all the black-clad guards into the river, and completely 'extinguishing' the fire that had just emerged.
Looking at the fist-sized flames in his hand, no one would have thought that this was actually the condensation of all the flames on the entire ship, the exterior looked similar to ordinary flames, and the body temperature was almost the same, but the internal structure was already very different from ordinary flames, and if there was an external force to stimulate it, the explosion power produced would not be much weaker than a tank shell.
Ethan looked at the black-clothed people in the water, many people stared at their ship with disbelief, Ethan threw the fire ball in his hand into the water, the fireball fell into instability the moment he left his hand, and at the same time it touched the water surface, the fragile balance was instantly broken, and the hidden energy burst out, setting off a flood of fire that enveloped the entire river, and the waves set off by the strong impact force made the group of guardians soaked in the water suffer a little.
O'Connor and Evelyn, who had been following Ethan in a daze, only came back to their senses a little at this time, and then continued to look at Ethan with very dull eyes.
"What was that?"
"Don't tell me what kind of humble little spell it is. β
"Again?"
O'Connor turned his head to look at Evelyn next to him, this sentence revealed a lot of information, it seems that this young man named Ethan is not the first time to show this kind of magical means, why has no one ever said this to himself?
"It's a little bit difficult, but that's about it. β
Ethan looked around, and it wasn't just O'Connor and Evelyn who looked stunned, but the group of American archaeologists also looked at Ethan with a shocked expression.
Previously, Ethan threw the man in black into the water all the way on the boat, and these Yankees were quite excited, but as one flame after another flew into his hand, quietly jumping in his hand, the most unresponsive person also realized that the situation was strange, and with the explosion of the last fireball, everyone realized that this mysterious young man who was traveling with him was not an ordinary person.
"Wizard!"
Even in the future era when science is more dominant in mainstream society, the awe of mystical power still exists in the hearts of most people, let alone in this era, or in an Egypt full of mystical powers and legends?
Locals and outsiders alike were in awe of Ethan at this timeβnot much respect, and fear was the majority.
"It looks like we're not going to be bothered on the road anymore. β
O'Connor looked at the reactions of those around him, and he couldn't agree more with Ethan's words. No one dares to provoke a wizard with mysterious powers, although he doesn't know if the person is using real magic or by some special means?
Due to the attack of the guardians, no one on the ship had the heart to sleep, and when there was a mysterious wizard among the people on the ship, no one dared to close their eyes, for fear that they would never be able to open them again.
No one even dared to approach the room where Ethan was, but they didn't have to worry about being overheard when they spoke.
O'Connor also went to the window and door to look, and the nearest crew members were standing far away, wanting to leave but not daring to go, for fear that when the wizard had any request, he and the others did not hear it in time, which caused the wizard's dissatisfaction.
"If I knew you could have done it with a little magic, we would have been able to take over this ship sooner. β
O'Connor didn't want the Americans to get involved, and if possible, it would be better to throw them into the river like the men in black so they could reach Hamnata sooner.
"No, I need them to get there with us. β
Ethan has decided to resurrect Immorton, and there are several steps that must be completed to resurrect Immorton, and before thoroughly understanding the various details and points of the resurrection spell and the conjuring spell, Ethan cannot modify and improve these kinds of magic at will, so if you want to resurrect Immorton completely, the best way is to let him take the lives of those Americans as in the original plot.
"Why? Doesn't that mean my gold could be snatched away?"
Jonathan found that none of the people present cared about the gold, which made him very angry, but he wished that this group of people did not care about the treasure, so that the treasure belonged to him alone.
Evelyn checked Ethan's hand over and over again, the one that had summoned the flames and finally released them, she seemed to be looking for a mechanism or something, but not to mention her hands, there was no mechanism on her arm, so she almost took off Ethan's clothes and checked it carefully.
"How the hell did you do that?"
"You didn't hear what they called me?"
"Wizard?" Evelyn smiled in complete disbelief, "Could it be that you are really a wizard?"
"Actually, I prefer to be called a mage. Ethan changed his hand this time, and instead of a flame, a ball of water appeared in his palm.
The water balloon was very pure, and Evelyn, who was sitting here, could see the opposite scene through the water balloon, and at the same time, the water balloon slowly rotated in Ethan's palm, changing into various forms as it rotated, and turned into a mini heavy machine gun and fired at several people: O'Connor and Evelyn both felt a chill on their faces, which made the stunned few people come back to their senses a little, and then watched the water balloon turn into a frozen rose.
Cold ice is an extension ability of the water element, Ethan has been taking the time to practice its various extension abilities after mastering the water element, and it is not difficult to practice these abilities after mastering the water element, not to mention that he has Loki, a powerful mage who is good at the power of frost, on his own ship, who can ask for advice at any time.
"Can you control fire and water as you like?"
Jonathan was actually the fastest to get back to normal, and was in the mood to ask for more details.
"Manipulating the elements is only part of a mage's ability, and I can also cast some spells with special effects. β
The ice rose in his hand dissipated directly, Ethan waved his fingers slightly, it had been tossing for half the night, it was fighting and being burned by smoke, everyone looked more or less embarrassed, but after Ethan's action, everyone felt refreshed for a while, and then noticed that they even had clothes on their bodies that became clean.
Looking at this magical scene, Jonathan's face was full of smiles, perhaps because he felt that with such a powerful mage, his gold was stable, and no one could rob them.
O'Connor didn't look happy, he was now worried about the adventure.
A mage with powerful mystical powers suddenly appears and says he is heading to the legendary city of Hamna Tower, where he encounters some strange things, all signs that this is not a simple treasure hunt and archaeological trip.
What could attract an existence like Ethan to make this trip? Another powerful mysterious force?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it became, and O'Connor even had the idea of leaving.
It's just that his worries were seen through by Ethan, and he spoke directly so that he didn't have to worry.
"You don't have to worry too much, even if something really happens, it won't endanger your life, as long as you listen to my instructions and don't mess around. β
Evelyn sometimes behaves very stupid, but she is not really stupid, on the contrary, she is a very smart woman, otherwise she would not have mastered so much archaeological knowledge and mastered many ancient languages at a young age.
She also thought that Hamnata not only exists, but that there are probably many things that are not well known, or that some of the legends about Hamnata may not be just a story.
"What exactly is in Hamnata?"
Evelyn initially just wanted to find the Tower of Hamna, prove that the place existed, and by the way, find the legendary scriptures. But Ethan, a special being, was attracted to Hamnata and wondered if there was something she didn't know that attracted the mage.
She is especially curious now, like a little child who craves bedtime stories.
She is not the only one who is curious, although Jonathan is too obsessed with treasures, his curiosity is no less than that of his sister.
O'Connor had always wanted to know the secrets of that place, and even Ida and Logan didn't know all the details of their trip.
Ethan looked at it, and it seemed necessary to give them a science about the situation they were about to face, lest there be any moths after they got that place.
Especially the brother and sister in front of them, these two people are very good at causing trouble, even if they tell each other, it is difficult to guarantee that these two people will not accidentally destroy their plans.
So make it clear in advance so that they know what they can't do and can also ensure that their plans are implemented smoothly.
Anyway, now that everyone is in good spirits, no one wants to go to sleep, Ethan told the story of Hamnata and Immorton roughly, and then Evelyn and O'Connor realized that the city of the dead in Hamnata was actually a prison for a high priest called Immorton.
Ethan also stated his purpose, in addition to obtaining two scriptures, which was to resurrect the high priest of ancient Egypt.
