Chapter 286: Now
The Tower of Hamna is just a legend, and many scholars believe that it does not exist, and that the Tower of Hamna is actually a myth used by the ancient Arabs to coax Greek tourists to promote local tourism and make money.
Legend has it that Hamna Tower is a treasure trove of pharaohs in the early days, when Egypt was strong, and there are endless treasures in it, but these treasures are protected by terrifying beings, that is, mummies, and it is rumored that mummies protect Hamna Tower, if anyone peeps into the treasures in Hamna Tower, they will be cursed by the pharaohs of the past generations and turned into terrifying mummies, so Hamna Tower also has the name of the city of the dead.
Moreover, there are also folk rumors that the Hamna Tower has a mechanism, and when the mechanism is activated, the Hamna Tower will sink into the vast desert with endless treasures, and the Hamna Tower has actually sunk into the desert, so people can't find it.
Because of these, countless rumors about the Tower of Hamna have attracted countless admirers, adventurers, gold diggers, treasure hunters, etc., from all over the world, all came to Egypt to find the legendary Tower of Hamna, and the endless treasures in it.
However, although there are many treasure hunters, no one has ever found the legendary Hamna Tower, and most of them, with the dream of finding treasures, rushed into the desert without hesitation, and as a result, they are all gone.
Jonathan and Evelyn, in the box that Jonathan had stolen from O'Connor, who had drunk too much, found a three-year-old map with the Tower of Hamna marked on it. is a map about the Tower of Hamna.
It's too heavy. The two held the region. I went to the director of the Museum of Antiquities and showed him a map, hoping to gather people to find the legendary Hamna Tower.
However, the curator looked at the map and didn't believe it, no matter how much Evelyn tried to persuade him. This map leads to the Tower of Hamna, which is nothing more than a legend.
And, to make matters worse, when the curator looked at the map, he got too close to the flames and accidentally set the map on fire, and although the fire was extinguished in time, the most critical location on the map, the location marking the Tower of Hamna, was burned.
But. Jonathan and Evelyn didn't give up, but the curator didn't believe it. Then the two of them went alone.
However, although the map was burned, and the box containing the map was 'shunned' from O'Connor's body, then O'Connor must have known the intelligence information related to Hamnata, and the brother and sister went directly to find O'Connor.
However, what the brother and sister never expected was that the two followed the clues, walked all the way, and finally determined that O'Connor was in a prison in Cairo, in prison!?
Under the arrangement of the prison warden, the brother and sister met with O'Connor, although it was through the cage, from O'Connor's mouth, the brother and sister learned that O'Connor was actually in the Tower of Hamna, and got the box containing the map about the Tower of Hamna, and O'Connor had actually been to the Tower of Hamna.
It's a pity that before the three of them could talk a few words, O'Connor was about to be sent to the gallows, anyway, regardless of what O'Connor said, whether it was true or not, it was certain that without O'Connor, the brother and sister would not have been able to reach Hamnata.
However, the brother and sister had no money at all, and both of them had just barely a well-off life, and they didn't have much spare money at all, so it was not enough to save O'Connor, or rather, to take out all the money to save O'Connor, and in the end, the two had to explain the situation to the warden about Hamnata.
The warden was born and raised in Egypt, and the first reaction was not to believe all the legends about the Tower of Hamna, and when he heard Evelyn say that O'Connor actually knew the exact location of the Tower of Hamna, the legendary city of the dead.
However, under the influence of Evelyn's seeming true appearance, and the desire not to believe it, the warden compromised and reached an agreement with Evelyn, and after finding the Hamna Tower, the two were divided, and then, O'Connor, who was almost hanged, was released.
Jonathan, Evelyn, O'Connor, and the warden who planned to go with them, led by O'Connor, boarded a passenger ship and traveled together to the legendary city of the dead, the Tower of Hamna.
What O'Connor never expected was that on the boat, he met a group of people who also intended to go to Hamnata, four Americans, and these four Americans, boasting with all their might that they would definitely be able to reach Hamnata, because, they had one, someone who had been to Hamnata before, led the way.
Then, what O'Connor never expected was that he met an old friend on the ship, an old friend who he hadn't seen for a long time and thought that he had died in battle in Hamnata - Benny.
O'Connor and Benny, the two are old friends, and O'Connor has a 'fresh memory' of Benny.
At that time, in the almost one-sided war at Hamnata, O'Connor was only the aide-de-camp, and Benny was his subordinate, and as a result, when the enemy charged, O'Connor's superiors fled, and then Benny fled.
Running away is running away, it's not a big deal, O'Connor can immediately, because, after a few minutes of fighting, the difference in strength is too great, and O'Connor also runs.
However, what made O'Connor resentful was that Benny was not authentic, Benny ran first, he ran into the stone room first, O'Connor was not slow, followed closely, and planned to run into the stone room, but what he didn't expect was that after Benny ran in, he turned around and pushed the door of the stone room shut, watching O'Connor run in, leaving O'Connor out of the door, ignoring O'Connor's life or death.
If it weren't for O'Connor's life, O'Connor would have died under the gunfire a long time ago, so the two are 'old friends'.
After seeing Benny, O'Connor suddenly understood why the four Americans, so fearless, would definitely be able to find the Hamna Tower, and what they said about the 'leader who went to the Hamna Tower' was Benny.
And the four Americans, who were on the boat, three of them were playing cards with Jonathan, and the other was a professor of Egyptology, who knew ancient Egyptian script, even Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Evelyn was a professional, and he was seeing Egyptian materials.
"Hey! You kid can't make a thousand, why are you so good at playing cards! Among the three Americans who played with Jonathan, a man with a golden head, dressed and looking like a western cowboy, threw the cards in his hand on the table, threw the money to Jonathan, and said unhappily.
"How is it possible, my hand is here, how to make a thousand, I am lucky today, just lucky." Hearing the words of the golden cowboy, Jonathan was shocked, but there was no panic on his face, he still said with a smile, he has been in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, he has never seen any means, the means of stealing things are quite clever, and the means of playing cards are even better.
The other two Americans, one is a big man with short black and a black suit, and the other is a man with glasses, a good open, and looks very temperamental, very gentle, and very doctor-like.
"Forget it, I'm not playing, I'm going to blow the wind, you guys play." Sven Man, who was wearing glasses, threw the cards on the table, got up from his chair, picked up his wine glass, and said to the black man and the golden cowboy, and to Jonathan.
"Hey! Bosn is no longer playing, do you want to play two? Seeing that Sven was gone, the golden cowboy ignored him, turned around, and greeted the bespectacled Egyptology professor behind him.
After Bosson left, he walked down the aisle, the boat was not big, it was full of dozens of people, Bosson leaned on the guardrail, while drinking wine, he looked up at the night sky, blowing the cool sea breeze with a fishy smell, and felt comfortable.
"Huh? What's that, meteors, meteorites!? Just in his mind, he was fantasizing about how to spend the money he had received from the Hamna Tower and the treasure inside, when he suddenly noticed a twist in the sky.
I saw that in the night sky, there was a small piece that seemed to be a whirlpool, twisted, and something flew out of it, which seemed to be a meteor, and flew down from the sky.
Bosn looked at the meteor that suddenly appeared in the sky, and suddenly thought of making a wish under the meteor, which was very effective, and immediately closed his eyes, put his hands together and made a wish in his heart, this trip to Hamnata must find the treasure, and do not return in vain.
"Damn!" After Bosson made a wish, he opened his eyes and looked up at the meteor, and saw that the meteor was flying straight in his direction, and the meteor completely turned into a meteorite.
This is a meteorite, if it hits the top of the passenger ship, the result is self-evident, even if it does not hit the passenger ship, it smashes on the river around the passenger ship, such a powerful impact, this passenger ship is still so small, it is not as good as the huge waves, and the result is definitely a sunken ship.
Burns came back to his senses and immediately turned around, wanting to shout and alert the others on the passenger ship that a meteorite was being thrown in their direction, but what seemed to be a meteorite fell from the sky, as if it had noticed Beriner, and violently added.
'Bang! Before Burns could speak, the 'meteorite' in the air disappeared violently after flying to the top of the passenger ship, and then, seeing Burns all over his body, rolled his eyes, and the whole person fainted, and fell heavily on the deck, unconscious.
The river was calm, the meteorite seemed to have never survived, and there was no aftermath of the impact, except that Burns fell alone on the deck of the passenger ship.
"Hey! Hey! Are you okay? The passenger ship was not large, and soon someone noticed that Burns, who had fainted on deck, immediately ran over and helped Burns up. (To be continued!)
