Chapter 16: Find a Kingdom for Me

"The manor has changed a lot, so lively! Is this going to renovate the main building? Danielle asked the captain of the Howlett family riders who greeted him in Reddill yesterday, thanks to James's advance arrangement, he really encountered a group of gold diggers on the road, if Danielle himself, including the coachman, would definitely be stripped of his pants and walked to Edmond.

"It's digging a cellar, Young Master James attaches great importance to this project, and you also know that it is the young master who is in charge of the family affairs now." Rider captain Jack Pitt was newly promoted by James and was under thirty years old. His father was Mr. Howlett's old subordinates, and these old subordinates were gradually getting older, and most of them were living in old age. And their children went on to work for the Howlett family, working for James.

A new generation replaces the old, and perhaps their descendants will still work for James, or even future generations......

"Ah...... It's not like a simple cellar. Danielle muttered to himself, having traveled a long time in Egypt and seen the size of the vast dungeon, which made him feel more and more unfamiliar with the students he hadn't seen in years.

"Come in, Mr. Howlett and Master James are waiting for you at the manor." Captain Pete gave Danielle a slight urge, and Danielle, who was a little distracted, smiled apologetically and walked briskly inside.

At the gate of the manor stood a tall girl, her bright thick red hair and white glowing skin made this girl so dazzling in the picture.

She looked a little with her chin raised, and when she saw Danielle, she smiled sweetly, and looked at him slyly, without saying a word.

"Are you...... O'hara! Little Rose! Danielle exclaimed excitedly and in surprise.

"Hahaha! You guessed it! O'Hara, who was recognized, laughed out loud in satisfaction: "Come with me, we are all waiting for you in the living room." Danielle sighed as the girl changed into a white swan and walked into the living room amid O'Hara's anger.

After a feast of pleasure for the guests and hosts, Mr. Howlett went back to his room early to rest, and his energy was now very limited, and he seldom received such guests.

O'Hara helped him back to his bedroom, while James invited Mr. Danielle to his study for a chat and a taste of his signature cigar from Cuba.

"Uh......h It feels good. James said with some intoxication, strange to say, he used to smoke and drink, and he didn't know much about cigars. But in this life, after being instigated by Mr. Howlett to take a puff two years ago, I liked the smoky scent.

"I've been to India, Egypt, the Middle East for the longest time, and finally came back from Morocco. Having seen a lot of magical ancient kingdoms, can you believe that the first dynasty of Egypt was ruled for a short time by a man named En Shaba al-Nur, but there is no official record in the history books at all, presumably the Pharaoh's dynasty did not allow such a thing to spread. ”

Danielle smoked a cigar and chatted as he sipped a fine gin. James listened attentively and with great interest.

"Many of the historical records of these ancient countries are relatively deified, and there are always some strange figures like gods who have left some kind of footprints, but they are all plausible. However, the local people are very serious about this, and do not tolerate the contempt of outsiders. I think that with the spread of industrial fire and the light of civilization, these barbaric regions will slowly be naturalized. ”

There was a faint pride on Danielle's face, and although he was fascinated by the magical history of the ancient kingdom, he didn't seem to believe in the ghosts and gods.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Danielle, would you be interested in continuing to travel for a while? I think I can sponsor you and pay you enough, and there are some things I need to look into. James thought for a moment, spat out a smoke ring and said to Daniel.

Danielle was stunned for a moment, and said after a while: "I did consider whether to continue this life, to be honest, it may be that I am old and some can't stand the harsh test of the environment." But ......"

He looked at James with some amusement and said, "If the price is good enough, it can't be considered!" Hahahaha! Both looked at each other and laughed, and Danielle continued, "But I don't want to go to Africa anymore, that place almost killed me!" ”

Looking at the embarrassed expression on James's face, Danielle suddenly had an ominous premonition: "You don't really want me to go to the African continent again!" James didn't answer directly, but pondered for a moment and asked slowly: "I don't know if you have heard of a place called Wakanda in Africa for so long." ”

………………

Among the snow-capped mountains of the Himalayas, a temple-like building standing halfway up the mountain, the crisp wind chimes drift into the distance with the mountain breeze, and the monks and monks holding the scriptures and the Zen masters sitting and meditating make this lonely temple in the mountains more vibrant.

In the quiet room of the central hall, a mage wearing a plain robe and waist-length hair was reading a thick-skinned book in her hand on a futon.

A thick green light suddenly scattered from the pendant on her chest, and the mage's eyebrows were raised and his hands pinched into a mysterious shape, and the pendant spun and untied like a lock, revealing a green light source in the middle.

She closed her eyes and put her hands at her side, and a pair of green rune circles full of unknown meaning rose from the sides of her arms, and as the aura slowly turned, she continued to twist her brows as if she was in a nightmare, and after a while, she put her arms together and put them on her chest, and the pendant slowly locked again, and then turned back into a simple brass ornament. The mage slowly opened his eyes and sighed leisurely: "The strange number has moved the wheel of time, and the future is already a fog......

…………………

"I haven't heard of it."

Danielle said dryly, James was obviously relieved but a little stunned when he heard it, Mr. Danielle was surprised by James's reaction, and continued: "I have been traveling in the north of Africa, and I have not been to the south, and there are very few established states there, they are all called according to tribal areas, so I can't guarantee that there is no place, but I don't know about it." ”

James thought for a moment and said firmly, "I want a definite answer, so please make sure you run again!" ”

"Okay...... Since you insist. But I need your help, not only financial and material resources, I need your competent people to accompany me, I can't do this alone. ”

Danielle thought for a long time before agreeing. James then assured, "Don't worry! I will send enough manpower for you to assign, and there will be no problem with all the supplies. And when it happens, whether you find Wakanda or not, you will get a lot of wealth to enjoy the rest of your life, that's my promise. ”

"I believe you, it's all a trivial matter, anyway, after you finish this, you have to help me support my old age!" "But what is this for?" Mr. Danielle quipped. A community or indigenous tribe in Africa that you don't know exists deserves your attention? ”

James thought for a moment and said seriously: "I can't go into the specific reasons, but just like the strange myths and legends of various ancient countries you just talked about, if you can find this place, then all impossible things may be confirmed......

Danielle lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and James added, "If you find it, gather as much information as you can about Wakanda, whether it's geography, history, culture, etc., when it's safe to do so." But be sure to be safe, keep your distance, if I know correctly, it's an extremely xenophobic country, they have been hidden, not known to outsiders, don't try to break in! ”

He admonished Mr. Danielle, and the two of them talked for a long time, and Danielle seemed to think that his students might want to explore the truth of the world like many people obsessed with occult cultures. Although he felt that all this was not credible, deep down in his heart, he had been longing for an unexpected answer, after all, the exploration of the past eight years was not also to pursue the unspeakable confusion in his heart?
