Chapter 216 The linkage between biohazard and mummy
The old curator wants to take back his words.
The conditions proposed by Chu Xuan moved him.
Unlike those old antiques who have lived in the camp all year round, the old curator who entered the world of mortals early is more aware of the current international situation. Egypt now exists in name only.
Just twelve years ago, Egypt changed the title of its head of state to Sudan and became a British protectorate.
A protectorate sounds nice, but to put it bluntly, isn't it still a colony? !
British officials were tyrannical here, even more arrogant than the landowners in ancient Egypt. They never avoided people when driving, and they were not responsible at all if they were killed. They even excavated the resting place of the pharaohs and even moved the mummies out. exhibit
For the old curator, what's the difference between this and tearing up one's ancestral graves and putting their ancestors' bones outside for display? !
Not to mention the Suez Canal!
The canal was built with the bones and blood of Egyptians, but in the end the benefits fell into the hands of Britain and France!
The old curator saw it and felt pain in his heart, but the trend was unstoppable. By the time he truly came into contact with the outside world, Egypt was already in ruins and he could do nothing.
Today's Britain and France, especially the United Kingdom, are not the later generations [Little Britain, almost no Northern Ireland, nor much of the United Kingdom], but the serious [British Empire]!
Now that World War I has just ended and World War II has not yet begun, Britain is still one of the most powerful countries in the world, and it is also the most powerful troublemaker in the world. Coupled with the fact that France, the most powerful country in Africa, comes to visit from time to time, as well as Egypt's Suez Canal, one can imagine the current situation of Egypt.
In another ten years, Egypt's last king, severely anorexic, and top pickpocket, Fouad Farouk, will ascend the throne and begin a 16-year rule until he is ousted by the Nile Tigers in 1952.
However, given the age of the old curator, it would be somewhat difficult to survive until 1952.
Moreover, the old curator was not a time traveler, so it was naturally impossible for him to know this. He could only build the Cairo Museum to protect the treasures left to them by ancient Egypt in another way.
Therefore, when Chu Xuan said the conditions he could offer, the old curator was really moved.
Then, Chu Xuan continued: "Moreover, it is true independence, not a puppet regime that has been supported. It is real and can have a say in the world, and can make the poor in the country have enough food and good medical care. , children have books to read, and no one will bully you, be independent."
He loves his motherland deeply, and if he can really help his motherland become independent, then he is willing to pay any price.
Even if he dies, even if he never reincarnates, even if he becomes a lonely ghost wandering forever, even if he betrays his faith, even if he makes a deal with Immorton
The old curator shuddered, feeling incredible at his last thought.
He was trained as a priest by the clan. Even now, he is one of the few people in the Tomb Keeper clan who has magical power. Although it is very weak, it is double D level at the upper limit of the main god space, but it is truly extraordinary. With his power and thousand-year heritage, if he were in the Cairo Museum, he would be able to handle it even if he faced some C-level enhancers.
Therefore, he agreed to uphold his responsibilities within the clan, suppress Hamnatta, and ensure that Immorton would not reappear.
And just now, he even had the idea of doing a deal with Immorton.
Chu Xuan knew that the old man in front of him was completely tempted, so he looked at the door of the office.
"Director, a guest is here."
Hearing Wu Jie's reminder, the old curator smiled bitterly and opened the door.
"Come in, don't be nervous."
The person who walked in through the door was none other than the current leader of the Tomb Keeper clan. The man whose name never appeared in the original novel and was always called the bearded man in black.
He led two of his men into the room, and here, Wu Jie finally learned his name.
"This is the leader of our Tomb Keeper clan, Carlos Adez Bei Mediga."
Okay, it’s connected.
"Chief Ades, do you understand our conditions?"
"I'm not interested in these things." Ades said coldly: "Transcendents have their own territory. I hope you can go back to where you came from."
"I know, White Fang will definitely not believe it, and I wouldn't be able to do it if it were me." Wu Jie waved his hand, and the crack in the subspace was opened.
The next second, golden coins flowed all over the floor.
"This is our sincerity and a gift. How about this gold?"
The expressions of Ardes and his men changed visibly.
As the leader of a clan, he cares more about these tacky-looking gold than making Egypt stronger.
Qingya has no use! Fame is useless! Gold is the good stuff!
The gold is exchanged for food, which is enough to maintain the basic expenses of the clan for at least one year. If you save a little, it can last longer!
In the second part, the Tomb Keeper clan sent at least tens of thousands of cavalry troops in the decisive battle with the Death Army of the Scorpion Emperor. Tens of thousands, cavalry troops!
With Egypt's current productivity, it can only be said to be magic that an army of this level can be supported without being discovered.
It's okay for people, but what about horses?
Those war horses are not human beings, and they are more difficult to serve than humans.
Soldiers can still perform productive work in peacetime, but they must not use war horses as livestock for production. Once that happens, the war horses will be useless!
Even if there are only 3,000 elites in an army of 10,000 people, it would still require at least 30,000 people to support them!
Ades's heart moved shamefully. The current Tomb Keepers family can only be said to be living on the line of food and clothing.
They need to guard Hamna Tower, and the geographical location of Egypt is quite miserable. More than 90% of the country's land is desert, and they know everything about cultivated land.
If the gold coins in this place are exchanged for food, they will live a prosperous and good year.
But Ades also has the calmness he deserves as a tribal leader. He knows that there is no such thing as free breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. After taking the money, he has to do things.
He can't mess around.
"Guests from far away, I don't know what the purpose of coming here is."
Sorry, they gave too much!
Chu Xuan said slowly: "Just like I said, we will provide you with an offer you cannot refuse."
"So." Ades looked at Chu Xuan and asked, "What do we need to pay?"
"Hamna Tower."
"impossible!"
"I can!"
"Jonathan, come back!"
In addition to Ades, two other voices sounded one after another.
A man in a brown suit rushed into the room with a small box, eager to pounce on the gold.
"Click."
With the sound of a safety being opened and a cold scimitar being placed on the man's neck, the man who was just a little short of gold stopped his movements.
"Sorry, dear guest." Evelin rushed in and took Jonathan's arm to drag him out. While pulling him, she was greeted by: "This is my brother, he. His head was hit by a mummy, and now Somewhat delirious."
“Let me go Evelin, I’m fine!”
Jonathan was not afraid of machetes and guns, and showed a bright smile to Wu Jie and others: "Guest, I know how to get to that lost place, I have its map!"
Wu Jie said with a half-smile: "Do you know? If I hadn't stopped you, your head would have been blown by now?"
"Put away your weapons! Don't use force in front of our guests!"
Under Ades's scolding, the two tomb guards took back their weapons, and Jonathan came to Wu Jie and others almost as fast as he could in his life.
