Not to mention that he has the magic of finding the direction in his hands, he can easily find the direction, even without magic, he can also fly into the sky directly with his superpowers, and set the goal in the way of 'climbing high and looking far', so soon, Zhou Chao locked a direction and walked forward with Charlotte stepping on the yellow sand with a shallow foot.
It didn't take long for an ancient city full of antiquity to appear in the eyes of the Zhou Dynasty and Charlotte.
The perimeter of the city is surrounded by walls, but instead of masonry or concrete, they are made of yellow sand and loess and a few other things, similar to those of the Cave of the Overworld. Through the barrier of the city wall, you can vaguely see the poor roofs of the buildings in the city, which are basically semi-circular structures, and the buildings that can be seen are also made of yellow mud, and only a few buildings can see traces of masonry and cement.
The surface of the building is painted with color maps, giving people an exotic atmosphere.
"The style of the building looks like ancient Egypt, plus the desert...... Could it be that we are in Egypt now? Charlotte, who had seen the city from afar, guessed.
"Wouldn't you go into the city and ask?" Zhou Chao said with a smile.
Then the two of them increased their pace slightly, and accelerated towards the city.
In just ten minutes, the two of them walked through the city gate into the city. Then, a group of people dressed similarly to the people of the Middle East came into the eyes of Zhou Chao and Charlotte, all of them looking gray and simple, looking a little sloppy.
"Looks like this is Egypt." At this time, Charlotte, who looked at the front from afar, said loudly.
Hearing this, Zhou Chao also moved his gaze and looked ahead along Charlotte's line of sight. Immediately, a huge cross-arm old man statue with Egyptian characteristics entered the field of vision of the Zhou Dynasty.
"Ask someone. Look where this is. Zhou Chao nodded, withdrew his gaze, and looked at the other people around him. Then he walked out and walked to a man not far away with a yellow face and thin muscles, exuding a smell of sandalwood.
"Excuse me, where is this?" Zhou Chao asked in Egyptian. As for why he speaks Egyptian, it is thanks to the shuttle magic array, in order to analyze it, Zhou Chao learned all the languages and special languages related to magic that can be thought of in the world, and this happens to wrap Egyptian language and the original origin of Egyptian - ancient Egyptian script.
"This is Cairo." The man looked at Zhou Chao strangely. replied.
"Cairo? Thank you. Zhou Chao, who heard the answer, raised his eyebrows and thanked him. Then he turned around again and returned to Charlotte's side.
"Where is this?" Charlotte, who saw the return of the Zhou Dynasty, asked.
"Cairo." Zhou Chaodao.
"Cairo? So why is this place so broken? Charlotte was stunned.
She has been to Cairo in the Overworld, and although the overall environment is far inferior to some cities in the United States, Britain and China, it is still a modern city, far more advanced than here.
"That's because this is Cairo in the 1920s, which is naturally different from Cairo in the future." Zhou Chao explained with a smile.
Charlotte was surprised, and a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.
"Let's go, let's take a walk around town. Experience this exotic atmosphere that is different from modern times. Zhou Chao reached out and grabbed Charlotte's hand, smiling as he led her forward.
"Yes." Charlotte replied softly, smiling and wandering around Cairo with the Zhou Dynasty in the 20s of the 19th century.
"I don't know when it is. Whether it's before the plot starts, or after the plot starts, it seems like I'm going to have to take some time to check out the Cairo prison and see if the guy named O'Conna is still inside. "At the same time. Zhou Chao, who was taking Charlotte around Cairo City, said secretly in his heart.
O'Connor, full name Rick. O'Connor is the protagonist of the movie The Mummy 1 - The Legend of Gods and Ghosts. Former Resistance soldiers, who lost the war and were imprisoned by the ruling side in present-day Cairo.
Of course, this refers to before the plot begins, and if the plot does, then at this point he should embark on a journey to the lost capital, the Tower of Hamna, with the beautiful Egyptian archaeologist Aveline and her thief brother, Jonathan, who are a bit of a natural stale in the film.
Along the way, they will encounter another group of American archaeologists who are also preparing to go to the Tower of Hamna to discover it, and they will be attacked by another mysterious force. Together, they arrive at the Tower of Hamna, where they unleash the sleeping demon of 3,000 years ago, the Great Mage Immorton in a thrilling, life-threatening adventure.
However, none of this has anything to do with the Zhou Dynasty, because his purpose in coming to this world is very clear, that is, to obtain the Holy Sutra of the Dead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun preserved in the Tower of Hamna! If you have time in the process, you will take the gold treasure stored in the Hamna Tower, and take Charlotte to enjoy modern Egypt and experience the scenery of Egypt that is different from later generations.
So what those American archaeologists are going to do, and what kind of disaster will Immorton bring to Egypt after his resurrection, he doesn't bother to care.
……
A few hours later, at sunset, Zhou Chao and Charlotte, who had enjoyed a handful of local Cairo food in a Cairo restaurant, checked into Cairo's only large hotel at this time.
"Charlotte, you rest first, I'll go out." At this time, Zhou Chao got up and walked towards the door, and said to Charlotte in the room.
"Why are you going?" Charlotte wondered.
"Go investigate something, and I'll be back later." Zhou Chao said without looking back. Then he reached out and grabbed the door in front of him, and opened it.
"Can you use me for help?" Charlotte asked, getting up.
"No, you don't." Zhou Chao, who walked out of the room, turned around, looked at Charlotte in the room and smiled. Then, without waiting for Charlotte to answer, she closed the door.
"Bang."
SEEING THIS, CHARLOTTE SHRUGGED HER SHOULDERS BORINGLY, SAT BACK ON THE BED, OPENED HER SPECIAL VISION, AND WATCHED THE TV PROGRAM PLAYED IN THE MAIN WORLD TV SIGNAL TRANSMITTED BY THE GUÒBILIBILI COMMUNICATOR.
……
On the other side, Zhou Chao, who had left the room, walked straight towards Cairo Prison after inquiring about the location of Cairo Prison.
This time was not long, only ten minutes, and Zhou Chao came to the outside of the Cairo prison with high mud walls. Then he opened the magic eye and used hypnosis to control the guards of the Cairo prison, and let him take him inside to see the main goal of the trip, the protagonist. O'Connor.
"That's him." The guards pointed to a man in a prison cell who looked like a beggar and a vagabond. Then he walked to the front of the prison, and struck the bars of the prison in front of him with his baton, making a "clang" sound, "O'Conna, someone wants to see you." ”
O'Cona raised his head and looked at the Zhou Dynasty.
"I don't know you." After a moment, O'Connor said.
"It's okay if you don't know me, as long as I know you." Zhou Chao smiled.
"I don't think I'm worthy of a character like you." O'Connell laughed at himself with a lot of self-knowledge.
"No, you have."
O'Conna was stunned and looked at the Zhou Dynasty.
"You know how to get to Hamnata Tower." Zhou Chao replied.
"Do you want to go to Hamnata Tower? For the treasure there? O'Connor said.
"Then it's none of your business." Zhou Chaodao.
O'Conna frowned, not knowing what Zhou Chao meant. Zhou Chao didn't pay attention to him anymore, but turned his head to look at the guards on the side and asked, "Do you know when he will be executed?" ”
"I don't know, you need to ask the warden about this." The guard shrugged.
Zhou Chao nodded, looked back at Ou Conna who was looking at him and smiled, "Don't worry, we will meet again soon." ”
After saying that, he didn't look at O'Connor again, and turned around and left the prison under the guidance of the guards on the side.
"Hey, hey! What do you mean! Seeing Zhou Chao leaving, O'Conna quickly ran to the fence of the prison, grabbed the fence with both hands, and shouted at Zhou Chao's back.
But in exchange for the impatient beating of the night watchman, he fell back to the prison in great pain.
"Take care of him, if someone wants to take him away, go to room 512 of the Cairo Hotel to inform me, and your benefits will be indispensable when the time comes." At this time, outside the prison, Zhou Chao casually took out a few dollars and stuffed them into the pocket of the clothes of the fat guard beside him.
"Yes, sir, I promise that he will notify you as soon as he becomes aware." The guard said with a smile on his face.
Zhou Chao nodded slightly, turned around again and looked at the Cairo prison behind him, then withdrew his gaze and left the prison without stopping.
"Now wait for the Aveline siblings to show up." Zhou Chao, who casually spilled the liquid in his hand, said secretly in his heart.
This is not because the Zhou Dynasty respected the original work and had to wait for everyone to gather before acting, but because the Aveline siblings had an important item in their hands - the key that could open the seal of Immorton's coffin and the Holy Sutra of the Dead, and the lock of the Golden Sutra of the Sun! Without it, even if you can get the Undead Saint Sutra and the Sun Golden Sutra, you won't be able to open them. Unless the Zhou Dynasty is not prepared to get the complete Holy Sutra of the Dead or the Golden Sutra of the Sun.
After all, in this ancient Egypt where there is magic and gods, who knows what kind of demons will appear if you don't open the two meridians through the normal way? So to be on the safe side, it's better to wait until Aveline shows up with the key before acting.
And when the time comes, you can easily take down the excavation team hired by American archaeological experts, and let them help them dig and find the Golden Sutra of the Sun, which is much better than being a coolie yourself.
Then, after another ten minutes, Zhou Chao returned to the Cairo Hotel. (To be continued......)
