Chapter 59: The Gathering of Personnel
"What exactly are the Black Sutra of the Dead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun?" Seeing that Eve and Goofy both looked stern, Jonathan couldn't help but ask.
"The Black Book of the Dead, it is said to be a magic book written by Anubis, the god of death, which not only records many black magics, but most importantly, it is said to resurrect the dead." Eve begins to explain the origins of these two books.
"The Golden Sutra of the Sun, it is said to be a magic book written by the sun god himself, it has the ability to purify the undead, and it can be said to be the nemesis of the Black Sutra of the Undead."
"Anubis, the god of death, must have a very bad relationship with Ra, the god of the sun." After listening to Eve's introduction, Jonathan couldn't help but speculate about the hostile relationship between the two scriptures.
"You could say that. The sun god Ra was born, and the god of death Anubis died, they were hostile and unified, and the two constructed the cycle of life and death in Egypt. ”
"So since the Black Scripture of the Dead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun are stored in zài, then Anubis and Ra are also real zài?" Jonathan had a very surprising question in mind.
"Of course, not only do they exist zài, but also the Jesus of the West, Satan; The immortals of the East, the Buddha, also used to have zài, but now these gods can no longer come to the world, and it can be said that there is no zài. Goofy answered Jonathan's question.
Hearing this, Jonathan and Eve both breathed a sigh of relief, in this era of human supremacy and general denial of mythology, if a god suddenly appeared, it would be a big problem.
"However, although the gods cannot descend on the earth, the treasures left by some gods can still control the chess game in the world."
Goofy's words made Jonathan and Eve nervous again, in this modern age, no one wants to deal with a monster they don't understand.
"But don't worry, there are still mages like us in this world who can guarantee that what those gods leave behind will not have much of an impact."
Jonathan and Eve were taken aback by Goofy's words, and were relieved to hear the end.
"I'm sure you'll encounter some strange things when you go to Hamna Tower this time, but don't worry, I, as the strongest mage right now, will never let you get hurt." Goofy comforted Jonathan and Eve, who were frightened by the gods.
"Where the hell is Hamnata?" Eve asked the most important point, if you don't know where the Hamna Tower is, everything will be in vain.
"I have a clue there, three years ago, a guy named O'Connor survived from Hamnata and he is now doing very badly and has been taken to prison, as long as we get him out, we can let him take us to Hamnata Tower." Goofy tells O'Connor that he can of course get the box with the circuit diagram from Jonathan, but he needs O'Connor as a helper to keep Eve safe.
Now that she knew the clues, Eve immediately prepared to set off to find O'Connor.
But Jonathan's primary concern is not archaeology, but more practical issues.
"How much do you pay us?"
Goofy opened his hand and threw Jonathan a kilogram of gold.
"This is a deposit, and when you get to the Tower of Hamna, I will pay you a gold brick again, but accordingly, you cannot take any of the treasure from there." Goofy made it clear how he hired.
"Do you have any questions?"
Johnathan, who was dazzled by the gold, hurriedly agreed, and since Johnason agreed, Eve naturally couldn't object, and the matter was decided.
"You go and exchange some pounds sterling, bring enough money, and we'll get O'Connor out of prison." Goofy commanded Jonathan.
Jonathan is the head snake here, and it's very convenient for him to do these things.
Sure enough, Jonathan soon came back with a stack of pounds, enough money to cover their money on the road.
Cairo Prison, Goofy and his group of three entered the largest prison in Cairo.
The first reaction here is that it is dirty and messy, and when I saw that two British people came to visit, the chubby warden immediately came to greet him.
"Why did he go to jail?" Eve asked the warden.
"I don't know, but I've already asked him when I heard you're coming." The prison warden is remarkable, if he hadn't watched the plot, Gao Fei wouldn't have known that this guy was actually a money-loving and lustful guy.
"What did he say?" Eve asked.
"He said he was just having fun." As soon as the warden finished speaking, two prison guards dragged an unkempt guy out.
Goofy could see that this was O'Connor, because he didn't go back to the army after the army was wiped out at Hamnata three years ago. But judging by the muscles on his body, O'Connor's strength is not weak.
Goofy leaned in from the side and whispered in O'Connor's ear, "You take us to the Tower of Hamna, and we get you out, and you nod if you agree." ”
O'Connor's eyes lit up, and he would not let go of the opportunity to escape, so he nodded hurriedly.
"Let's go, Jonathan, you stay and talk about that guy's price." Goofy leaves the prison with Eve, and on this occasion, Eve is a disaster to stay.
Sure enough, without Eve's deposit, the warden neatly sold O'Connor for £450, a deal that is common in Cairo prisons.
"Jonathan? What happened to you? Eve was surprised to see a bruise on Jonathan's face, and Goofy, who knew the plot, knew that it was Jonathan who had stolen and was discovered by O'Connor, and it was normal to take a punch.
"Nothing?" Jonathan certainly didn't want to say that he was beaten for stealing, which was too damaging to his brother's image. But Eve was also not stupid, and immediately thought of O'Connor who was following behind.
"He saved you, how can you do this to your savior?!" Eve was very indignant that there were such shameless people in the world.
"Don't you know that he stole my stuff and led me to prison?" O'Connor shrugged his shoulders, not embarrassed at all, if it weren't for the sake of the savior, just one punch to him would have been light.
"Jonathan, how can you do that." Eve complained, but didn't dig deeper, of course she knew that her brother was out of work, and there was nothing she could do about it.
"I apologize to Jonathan for what he did to you." Eve is a good girl who knows how to be polite, and when her brother caused the other party to be so strict, the first thing that comes to mind is to apologize.
"It's nothing, as long as you don't let me go to Hamnata Tower." O'Connor turned around and left. Unlike Banner's villain, who constantly used Hamnata to deceive, O'Connor never thought of doing so, and that was the place where he was completely destroyed, and it was the scar in his heart.
"Stop, I'm the one who rescued you." Goofy exited, and rescued him to protect Eve, and if he walked away like this, it would be okay.
"What if I say I'm not going." O'Connor is not scared, now it is different from the plot, it was Eve who saved him between life and death, so he is extraordinarily unruly.
"Your life is left behind." Goofy's eyes were murderous.
O'Connor is also a veteran of battle, of course he knows that the other party, the guy covered in a black robe, has really killed people, and the murderous spirit can't deceive people.
"Go, of course I'll go, you're my savior." O'Connor changed his mind, he didn't know what was left of the black robe, maybe nothing, maybe a pistol, he didn't want to take the risk.
"Jonathan, hand over what you stole from that guy." Goofy commanded.
Jonathan thought that Goofy was planning to return what he had stolen to O'Connor, so he obediently handed over the box.
"Open." Goofy handed the box to Eve.
What O'Connor couldn't open with great effort, it was like an ordinary box in Eve's hand, and it was successfully opened at once.
Without giving Eve a chance to open the blueprint inside, Goofy snatched the box and took the space.
"What are you doing? It was I who opened it. Eve said dissatisfied.
"That blueprint is a map to the Tower of Hamna, and with O'Connor there is no use." Goofy paused, but decided to speak up.
"The important thing is that box, that box is the key to the Black Sutra of the Dead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun, it is very precious, I don't worry about leaving it on your body."
Hearing Goofy explain this matter clearly, Eve is not such an unreasonable person, and she did not continue to ask.
Now that everyone is gathered, Goofy is ready to set off for the Tower of Hamna.
