Chapter 87: I didn't pay attention to Logan under my feet
After returning to the Aurora, Ethan immediately activated the teleportation without haste.
He first circled the ship, then moved out of the chaise longue, basked in the sun on the deck for a while, and directed the Goddess of Dawn to gallop across the vast ocean for a while, and then, as if he had forgotten his plan, he looked like he had gone out for a vacation.
"Are you ready to relax?"
"Nope. ”
Ethan was wearing sunglasses and lying down with a comfortable face.
"Just thinking about what to do next. ”
"Isn't it the world you're already sure you're going to?"
Ada was interested in how Ethan knew about the target world, but no matter how she investigated, she found that the secret seemed to be in Ethan's hands, and the others didn't know anything about it.
"Yes, but concrete actions need to be well thought out. ”
The mummy world doesn't seem to be in any danger?Immorton is a powerful priest, but as long as he is not resurrected, it will be a backward era in the early end of the First World War.
They were going to Egypt, which was not at the center of civilization at that time, and was much more backward than those great powers.
There are many inconveniences in backward places, but there are also some benefits.
No one cares who Ethan is, and with enough money, they can solve any trouble.
Hamnata is located in a desert desert in a desert area, and it doesn't matter how much he makes a move. At that time, there were no military satellites in the sky, and there was no need to worry about being photographed by satellites and becoming the focus of some countries.
With the various abilities that Ethan currently masters, he is not afraid of being targeted, but it will always be troublesome, which is why he has shown enough restraint in most of the world.
"So what do you think of now?"
Ethan smiled and didn't answer, a lot of content is not convenient to reveal with people, especially Ada, an elite spy.
This woman may be by nature to find out everything, and Ethan has long noticed that Ada has been trying to figure everything out since she got on the ship, and knows that she is now particularly concerned about how she knows so much about the world.
This secret can be shared with trusted companions in the future, but it cannot be told to anyone now.
The plan for the mummy world? He'd been recalling the whole plot of that world before.
Although his mental power has been strengthened, and the memories of his previous life can be recalled very completely, when he is not in use, these memories are like things piled up in the corner of the warehouse, and it takes some effort to find them and organize them before they can be used.
The story of the mummy is not complicated, which is also a characteristic of commercial blockbusters.
The main plot is relatively simple, with clear character relationships and gorgeous special effects.
In the current situation that Ethan is facing, the advantage is that he doesn't have to waste too much time sorting out the messy plot and character background, and only needs to analyze which plot nodes are more important to him.
What will happen in the world of mummies is simply a woman who specializes in archaeology, Evelyn Canahan, because her brother Jonathan Canahan accidentally (?) obtained a key and map, and hit the idea on the top of the legendary city of Hamna, the city of death, to find this legendary pyramid, and start a magical adventure.
At the beginning, Ethan felt that as long as he found Jonathan in advance and took the key and map, it seemed that there would be nothing to do with the heroine Evelyn, after all, this woman had not done anything else in the whole plot except to cause chaos.
But then he was embarrassed to find a problem, it seemed that he couldn't do without Evelyn, because the two scriptures he wanted to get were all written in ancient Egyptian script.
Ethan knew many languages, but Ancient Egypt didn't happen to include them.
He started learning multiple languages because he had to travel through multiple worlds, and his priority was to learn the languages he might use.
On top of that, if you want to learn the magic of Kama Taj, you'll need to learn some relatively unpopular languages, but these languages also don't include ancient Egyptian.
Not only did he not learn it, but there was no content related to ancient Egyptian in Ethan's collection, and even if he wanted to study it temporarily, he did not have relevant materials and textbooks.
"So Evelyn still has to bring it. ”
Or he could find Evelyn in advance and spend money to learn ancient Egyptian with her, which shouldn't take much time with Ethan's current learning ability.
The difficulty was that he was not sure when he entered, and if it was better to be a little earlier, he could have intercepted the key to the map in advance.
If it's a little later or directly at the beginning of that episode, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn in advance. It's certainly not hard to snatch the key, and then who to learn ancient Egyptian?
"There seems to be an archaeologist on that Yankee team. ”
Ethan lay here, analyzing all the situations before standing up again, and then stretched a big waist to look at Ada, who was standing next to him.
"Have a good night's rest, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. When you get to that place, you won't have such a comfortable rest. ”
Only Ida accompanied him on this trip, and after Logan completed the entrustment of old Charles, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed.
At the same time, I didn't want to run around anymore, especially when I heard that the next world was Egypt, and I said I wanted to stay on the ship after suffering in the desert.
Loki still didn't do it, and he waited for Ethan to take him home after all the trivial things. He was looking forward to going back to surprise his father and brother with all his might, and he didn't want to waste time in the chaos of the world.
Serena is also not interested in traveling in the desert for a year, let alone Annette, she is not interested in any world, she is only interested in whether Ethan will bring back something interesting this time? Unfortunately, the last time she went to the world of the X-Men, Ethan did not bring back any mutant genes.
After a good night's rest, the only people who set off again with Ethan were Ada and someone who had promised not to go.
"Hope this trip will make you satisfied. ”
On the last trip, Ada did almost nothing, just stayed in the mansion in a daze, and there was no room to show her abilities, how depressed and depressed she was.
This time it should be a little better, right?
Looking at the surrounding environment, the dry, sandy and stuffy environment was completely different from the humid environment on the previous ship, and she felt that most of the water on her body was instantly reduced.
"No wonder Serena was reluctant to come. ”
Not to mention a vampire, even a normal person would not like the dry and hot environment of the desert and the yellow sand. At this time, Egypt was not a clean and tidy city, and the smell in the air was not very good.
"It's Logan, didn't you say you couldn't come?"
Logan's sense of smell is sharper than the average person, so the smell in the air makes him even more uncomfortable, lighting a cigar makes him feel better, maybe he always smokes cigars because his sense of smell is too sensitive?
"I really didn't want to come, but I didn't notice that I happened to be standing in the magic circle under my feet. ”
Ethan shook his head speechlessly, Logan probably didn't want to come at first, but thinking of such a place as Egypt, Ethan mentioned that he might meet a powerful priest, and he was still a little uneasy to follow after all.
Perhaps he had no chance of winning or defeating a priest with powerful supernatural powers, but with his immortality, he believed that he could help Ethan when he was in trouble.
Whether it's dragging the opposite side to buy Ethan time, or running away with Ethan when necessary, he can do it.
Compared to Ada, who has just joined and seems to have a lot of careful thoughts, Logan feels that he is more trustworthy.
Ethan knew why Logan had come with him, patted his partner who had been with him the longest, and then took a good look at the surrounding situation.
"It seems that our luck is okay, and we didn't run to the ancient Egyptian era more than 3,000 years ago. (It is wrong to write more than 3,000 A.D., it should be more than 1,700 B.C., that is, more than 3,000 years ago when the plot began.) )
If they ran there, they would probably have to clash head-on with the Egyptian dynasty, otherwise he wouldn't have figured out how to get his hands on those two scriptures.
Of course, stealing is fine, but in the end, there will inevitably be conflicts.
In 1923, he didn't have to worry about confrontation with a country, and the competitors he had to face were a stupid archaeologist who caused trouble all day long, a veteran with good combat experience, and a greedy thief who was good at stealing.
"Oh, and a bunch of Yankees. ”
Ethan inquired a little with the side, knew the location of the Cairo Museum, and led Logan and Ida towards their destination.
Although he knows that he is in 1923, it is difficult to judge the specific time period, and he can only know when he meets the heroine Evelyn.
Unexpectedly, I finally found the Cairo Museum, and when I came to the door of the director's office, I saw Evelyn and her brother Jonathan, kneeling on the ground and slapping a burning map.
Ethan was speechless when he looked at this scene, why was the time so coincidental? Before he thought about finding the brother and sister earlier, with the map and the key, then there was no need to find the male protagonist Rick O'Connor to lead the way.
As soon as I found the two goods, I saw the most important part of the map being burned.
Of course, he knew that the museum's curator had deliberately burned the map, as the curator, Terrence Bey, was also part of the Pharaoh's bodyguard, and his duty was to protect the city of the dead from being discovered.
Seeing that the map was destroyed by himself, Terrence Bay, who was being proud, noticed Ethan and the others, and asked about Ethan and the others with a smug smile, and then heard the last thing he wanted to hear.
"I'm going to Hamna Tower. ”
