Chapter 101: Cairo Prison
Cairo, Egypt, 1926
Pedestrians on the streets came and went without stopping, and a dreary atmosphere hung over Egypt.
Since Egypt's ruling party, the Waffle Party, repealed all the laws enacted during the previous parliamentary period and released all political prisoners during this period through the amnesty bill, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the British commissioner in Egypt, the British Empire took the opportunity to sail the cruiser into Alexandria, exerting strong pressure on the ruling party in Egypt.
For a time, Egypt felt the strong political pressure of the British Empire, and rumors that the war would happen again also appeared on the streets of Cairo, even after the blow of the First World War, the British Empire is still the world hegemon, and Egypt is under the protection of the British Empire.
It seems that if the top level of the government does not agree to the demands of the British, then Cairo, the capital of Egypt, will inevitably become a battlefield, and how hegemonic the United States will be in the future, then Britain at this time will be at least ten or a hundred times more domineering than him.
The English dad is still the dad, and the Egyptian son is still the son.
William walked through the streets of Cairo, looked around blankly, looked at the two gold coins of destiny in his palm, which had become dim, and sighed deeply.
Not the past, not the present, but the future, this is his destiny journey.
After William received the prompt from the system, his originally calm heart set off a monstrous wave, whether he should accept or reject.
William then felt a deep malice, not just from fate, but from the attention of the gods or other great beings, which was inducement.
If you want to fight the evil dragon Duke William and win it openly, it is not enough to rely on your own strength, Francis is relying on external forces, so he loses to the evil dragon, and if he does not rely on external forces, he does not even have the strength to challenge the evil dragon.
William's own power now seems to be one step at a time, but in fact, the foundation is not so stable, even if he has become a dragon slayer brave, holding a holy sword in his hand, and obtaining the title of king, he still cannot be the opponent of the other party.
The time I need most now is accumulation, but time waits for no one, and I was forced to slay a dragon after only three days of crossing into this world, which is simply ten deaths.
Since there is no life, then why should you be afraid of danger.
So he had no choice.
It's just that William accepted the journey of fate, but who can tell him what kind of world this is, what is special about Cairo in 1926 for the world, and what is the significance of this point in time.
"Friend, are you here in Egypt to play? Is it for the sake of Hamnata? ”
William was looking at Cairo, Egypt in 1926, when suddenly a man with sparse hair came up and greeted William warmly, if it weren't for his face, he really didn't look like a decent person, and when he greeted William, his eyes were staring straight at the two gold coins in his palm, but he really looked like a kind and warm person.
"Hamnata?" William asked subconsciously, the name of the place inexplicably felt a little familiar.
"The Tower of Hamna is just a legend, and many scholars believe that it does not exist, but Evelyn, an archaeologist at the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, believes that the Tower of Hamna exists, and it is a treasure trove of pharaohs during the great period of Egypt, you know the pharaohs, they are the kings of Egypt, and it is said that there are endless treasures in it, all of which are treasures collected by the Egyptian dynasty."
The man explained enthusiastically, looking at William with a slightly flattering tone, "Sir, your English is really good, full of British aristocratic flavor, you must be from Britain, me too, my name is Jonathan, I don't know your name yet, sir." ”
In Cairo, Egypt in 1926, the legendary city of Hamnata, Jonathan in front of him, William stared at him with wide eyes, and suddenly realized that these elements were taken apart from each other, and they may not be conspicuous, but once combined, this is not the very famous Hollywood movie "Legend of Gods and Ghosts" or "The Mummy I".
The story of the legend of the gods and ghosts is quite simple, and it is a standard Hollywood story line, telling the story of the pharaoh in 1719 BC, in the city of Thebes, Egypt, where the high priest of the pharaoh, Immorton, greened the pharaoh.
In ancient Egypt, the system of the state was a system of government and religion, and Pharaoh was both the king and the high priest of Egypt, ruling the world as the heir of the supreme god Ra, the god of the sun.
However, Pharaoh, who had all the power, could not rule the country alone, so the office of high priest was separated, and the high priest became an existence under one man and above ten thousand.
The high priest Immorton fell in love with the pharaoh's favorite concubine Ansuna, and was discovered by the pharaoh on the spot in the process of cheating, and found that the pharaoh who was wearing a green hat was furious and wanted to punish the two, but Ansuna attacked first and killed the pharaoh.
When the pharaoh's guards stormed the palace, the pharaoh was already dead, and in order to protect his lover Immorton, Ansuna stayed behind to act as bait, while Immorton was dragged away by the monks loyal to him, and Ansuna committed suicide with a short sword when the guards arrived.
Immorton was hiding in Egypt, and in order to resurrect his lover, he led his monks to break into the pharaoh's tomb, took the legendary artifact Black Book of the Dead, and tried to resurrect Ansuna with the power of the Black Book of the Dead.
It's just that when Immorton was about to successfully resurrect Ansuna, the pharaoh's guards broke in at this time, interrupted the resurrection ceremony, and wiped out Immorton and his gang in one fell swoop, all the monks were mummified alive, and Immorton killed the pharaoh because of his affair with the pharaoh's concubine, broke into the tombs of the pharaohs, stole the black scripture of the dead, and held a resurrection ceremony, which was really heinous, so he was punished by "insect devouring", and he was sealed in the sarcophagus for eternity and eternity, and was monitored by the guards.
However, once released, Immorton, who has a thousand years of mana, will be resurrected and bring ten plagues to Egypt.
This is the background of the mummy's story, and the modern scene is the story of Jonathan, his sister and O'Connor, who is still in prison in Cairo, going to the city of Hanunata to adventure, freeing Immorton and sealing it again.
"What's the matter, sir, it's all normal to hear in a daze, in all of Cairo, nay, even all of Egypt, and even in Europe, who hasn't heard of the great treasure of Hamnathari."
Jonathan looked at the handsome young man in front of him and said happily, the young man in front of him was wearing a dress of unknown material, and at first glance he knew that it was a high-end product, and the handsome face with a well-defined silhouette had a noble and graceful temperament, and he was also equipped with a sword around his waist, full of aristocratic style.
If Jonathan were a girl, I'm afraid just seeing the teenager's face would be enough to go crazy.
He forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart.
The young man in front of him knew at a glance that he was a young master from a rich family, maybe he was a big nobleman or a big businessman in Britain, and he was an out-and-out big fat sheep, no matter how much he stole and stole himself, I am afraid that he would not be as rewarded as the young man in front of him.
Jonathan's family was originally wealthy and he was the son of a really good family, otherwise he would not have such an outstanding sister Evelyn, but the world is impermanent, and his parents died in an accident, so only Jonathan and his sister Evelyn were left to depend on each other.
Her younger sister, Evelyn, was an Egyptologist and archaeologist who could read and write Egyptian script, translate hieroglyphs used by Egyptian monks, and now worked as a small librarian at the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities.
The director of the museum said that he took in Jonathan and Evelyn because their parents had donated a huge amount to the museum, so the family was backward, and Jonathan had developed a habit of petty theft and tried to make money to support the family.
"I'm not interested in Hamna Tower, I want to go to Cairo prison, I don't know if you can show me the way?" William took out a gold coin from his hand and shook it in front of Jonathan, Jonathan's face was indescribably joyful, and he was about to take it with his hand, when the gold coin was exchanged for a silver coin and fell in the palm of his hand.
The smile on Jonathan's face instantly retracted, and he said helplessly, "You are ......"
"The money is mine, what I give you is yours, I don't give it, you can't rob it, let alone steal it." William said lightly, looking into Jonathan's pocket, "It's okay for you to steal the gold coins in my pocket, but as punishment, the gold coins I gave you will be turned into silver coins." ”
"Lead the way!" William said calmly, "It is your honor to serve the earl from England. ”
At this time, ordinary citizens of the British Empire were able to run rampant in various colonies, not to mention him, a "noble earl".
Jonathan's eyes lit up, and he led the way with joy, finally confirming that it was a super fat sheep.
