The Knight In The Big World Of American Tv Series

Chapter 172 Book of the Dead (seeking collection, seeking recommendation)

The Nautilus is a unique and unique submarine in the world. The Nautilus is a blade-shaped submarine with a length of 135 meters and a width of 13 meters. It sails in the sea like a sharp blade that cuts the sea, so the crew members also call themselves privately. The ship is for the sword of the sea god. The top speed can reach 50 knots per hour!

This speed is simply a myth. You must know that even the best surface ship in the UK has a speed of about 50 nautical miles (28 knots)! The Nautilus is a submarine.

At the same time, the power of the Nautilus is also epoch-making. It is completely powered by electricity. What is more remarkable is that the electricity of the Nautilus is completely extracted from seawater. The ship extracts sodium from red, and mixes sodium with mercury to form a substitute for Bunsen. The zinc alloy in the battery cell is converted into electricity and stored in the battery. In short, there are black technologies everywhere on the ship, and there are some things that even Kay, who has experienced the 21st century, is amazed.

The interior of the ship is very spacious and comfortable, and there is even a museum and library! In addition to being a bit noisy and boring, it is more comfortable than the average star-rated hotel.

Kay's journey on the Nautilus was barely pleasant. If not counting the bad diet on board.

Captain Nemo and most of the sailors are from the Indian subcontinent. Simply put, they are Indians... Can you imagine that the whole ship is smelling of curry? This is the case on the Nautilus. These sailors are all good. Although they are Indians, everyone is polite and full of humanity. Each of them even speaks more than two foreign languages.

Kay also likes them very much, but only disagrees with their eating habits.

They even refuse to use tableware!

But Catherine and Courtman and the British guys like the Nautilus meal...

After about a month's voyage, Kay finally set foot on land, and under Alfred's arrangement, everyone quickly boarded the train to Cairo.

When Kay set foot on this familiar and unfamiliar land in Egypt, he felt that the atmosphere here was not very good. The Egyptians did not welcome the British, and were even very hostile. This feeling is especially strong outside Alexandria.

In fact, Britain does not have much control over Egypt. Britain occupied Egypt only to ensure the Suez Canal.

By November 1914, the Ottoman Empire entered the war, and Egypt stood with the central government very stiffly (Egypt was still a province of the Ottoman Empire in name at the time), so Britain unilaterally declared its protectorate status against Egypt. He overthrew the government at that time and supported a new government. The head of the new government was forced to declare that he was an Egyptian sultan independent of the Ottomans.

Such a government naturally cannot get the support of the Egyptians, so the new government has no authority in Egypt, leaving Cairo, the government's orders are like waste paper. And Britain did not have Ability to change this situation at this time. After all, their main energy is in Europe, and the British only need to ensure that they control the Suez Canal.

As for the actual fragmentation of Egypt, it is not under their consideration.

When a group of people walked out of the Cairo Railway Station, they could clearly see the maliciousness of the Egyptians around.

Kay didn't feel much about this maliciousness, and he was not British. In his heart, he was just feeling that things are right and wrong. Once Egypt was one of the most developed regions in the entire world. The Pharaoh ruled the entire North Africa in Egypt. But now, the once glorious buildings are missing. The original self-confidence and pride disappeared from the Egyptians’ faces, replaced by dilapidated ones. In the low and dirty city, people's faces only show numbness and hatred.

After entering the hotel, there was an officer who came up to talk, and it should be the respondent of the British government.

These things were originally in charge of Catherine and Courtman, but when Kay saw the officer’s appearance, he couldn’t help but said to the old Alfred who was saluting around him: "Is it my illusion? Why do I always feel this The child looks like you?"

This officer is very young, he looks only in his twenties, but he has the rank of captain.

"No, Lord Duke, that is not your illusion, he is my grandson, little Alfred."

Kay looked at old Alfred in surprise.

"real?"

"Yes." Old Alfred said slightly reserved.

"Then he is only 20 years old! Your son... I'm sorry, I didn't mention it on purpose." Kay originally wanted to say that Alfred's son died two years ago. Why did he make himself just 20 years old? Grandson enters the army. Kay knew that the old Alfred's son was 36 years old when he died in the battle, and his grandson was still under adulthood.

"No... you don’t have to apologize, I understand what you mean. But I have to say that as a Penniworth man, it is their responsibility to join the army, especially during the war. It is even more impossible to evade responsibility!"

The son has been sacrificed for more than two years, during which the old Alfred has adjusted.

Although Kay is not British, this does not affect Kay's appreciation of the old Alfred. The Patriots will be respected no matter where they are.

Soon Catherine and Courtman finished their negotiations with the young man. After finishing the work, the young man walked to his grandfather with a happy face and took the opportunity to take the old Alfred's salute.

"My lord, this is my grandson, Alfred."

Foreigners are not good at this point. They like to give their offspring screwdrivers the same name as their own or their elders, and they are not afraid of confusion. For example, the grandson of the old Alfred should call Roar Alfred II or Alfred the Younger.

"Alfred, this is the Duke of Bretania."

"Hello, Lord Duke." Little Alfred did not damage the Penniworth's family name. Although he was wearing a uniform, his manners were impeccable.

"Hello, um... can I call you Roar Afu?" Kai is a Chinese at heart, and it is a bit awkward to use the same name for both grandpa and grandson, so I simply used the abbreviation. Definitely, it's a bit rude to do so, I called Roar short for someone else when I first met.

Little Alfred obviously didn't meet this kind of person. The environment in which he grew up can only be known from the old Alfred. However, his good education and cultivation did not show any strange emotions, but rather naturally nodded in agreement.

"Definitely, it is my honor, Lord Duke."

Then Ah Fu took everyone to the room that had been booked a long time ago. After settling down, a group of people gathered in Kai's room and began to understand the current situation of the mission.

"Before you arrive, we finally find out who led the German team this time-Gregory Yefimovich Rasputin. The priest of the Russian Empire, the patron of the Tsar and the Queen." Report to Kai and the others. The person at is a British intelligence officer brought in by Ah Fu.

"Wait, are you talking about the half-human, half-demon evil monk?" Dr. Hyde, who had always been very quiet at this time, asked very gossiping.

(About this story of Gregory Yefimovich Rasputin, everyone on Baidu, a very good person, I am not watered, anyway, all kinds of filthy harems, interfering in government affairs, in history, Gregory was in It was killed in October 1916, here is the magic change)

Although it is wartime, some things will not fade away because of the war, especially gossip, which has been spread all over Russia, and many London newspapers have published it. London newspapers like to publish this in wartime periodicals. News, ease people’s nervousness. So Gregory's reputation is still very famous in London.

"That's right, it's him."

"Isn't he a Russian? How could he get along with the Germans?" A tsar's favorite actually got along with the Germans and went to Egypt, which really makes people care.

"He has defected. His situation in Russia is not instant. Many people want to kill him. In fact, he has been assassinated countless times before turning to Germany. The most recent assassination was by Prince Yusupov and Di Grand Duke Mitri, Senator Priskevich and others conspired. So he defected."

The intelligence officer shrugged and curled his lips a little helplessly. Gregory is undoubtedly a scandal of the Russians. If in normal times, the British would be happy to see the Russians ashamed, but the problem is that they are now allies. What's more unfortunate is that this Gregory has begun to cause trouble to Britain.

"Well, this is the Russian..." Courtman also shrugged. Few British people like Russians, especially in the current situation. In the war, although the Russians are not pig teammates, their role is quite limited. (Russian's record is really bad)

But Kay didn't know much about this Gregory. He looked at Lao Fu (the name is too long and simply simplified). As a housekeeper, Lao Fu will never let Kai down. Soon Old Fu told Kay about some of Gregory's deeds. Kai was dumbfounded.

"He came to Egypt this time to find the legendary Book of the Dead."

"Huh? What did you just say?" Kai, who was listening to gossip, suddenly heard a familiar name.

"Book of the Dead?" The intelligence officer was a little confused. He didn't know Kay's identity. In fact, there were no more than ten people in Britain who knew Kay's true identity. He only knew that the identity of the Duke of Bretania was very noble and mysterious, and he was asked by his superiors to cooperate unconditionally with the Lord Duke.But Courtman and Catherine knew that Kay must know something. In fact, sometimes they are also very strange, why an ancient English aborigines would know so much about myths outside of England, at least from their chat with Kay, Kay knew about Olympus, Sumer and ancient times. Egyptian mythology.

"Do you know that thing?" Catherine asked curiously.

"Um...that book, how do you say it, um...so, it's better not to touch that book for living people. It's very evil." Kai also didn't say specifically, according to the usual urine nature of humans, if Kai details It explained the function of that book, maybe someone who likes to be a dead idiot ran to take that book to death. "If Gregory with the big bird really wants that book, then the information you got before is very likely to be correct."

The British had previously received information that the Germans planned to resurrect an ancient army.

A bunch of people look at me, I look at you, a little skeptical of Kay's words. However, the tomb-exploring team was a little convinced, because they had an example of decedent resurrected before their eyes.

Seeing Catherine and they looked at herself, Kay knew what they were thinking.

"Don't look at me, I am a special case! The resurrection of the Book of the Dead is not a real living person."

"Well, let's continue to talk about business." Courtman knew that Kay's identity could not be disclosed at will, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Oh... OK." The intelligence officer hurriedly stopped to explain the intelligence. As an intelligence officer, he naturally knew what to understand and what to pretend not to happen.

"We have learned that Gregory hired an American to help them find the Book of the Dead. Originally we planned to continue the investigation along this line, but our staff lost too much when investigating Gregory. As a result, we were unable to follow this line. But we learned that just half a month ago, a group of Americans hired a group of locals to go south to the depths of the desert."

The British intelligence service is indeed very powerful, but this is Egypt, and the environment here is naturally unfriendly to Britain, and there are too many losses of manpower.

Without enough helpers and no manpower, even if these British people are 007, they can only be clever women who can't cook without rice. They have no Ability to conduct intelligence gathering outside of Cairo.

"By the way, we also collected one piece of information, that is, another group of people seems to have been eyeing the Book of the Dead."

"Who are these people? French?" Courtman asked.

"No, the leader is an Englishman, a pair of siblings. The brother is named Jonathan and the younger sister is an archaeologist named Evelyn. They found an American from the prison to be their guide."

"British?" Courtman frowned and looked at Catherine. Since the intelligence officer said so, it means that he is not from the intelligence department, so Courtman wondered if he would be from the church, the church. In terms of the nature of work, the church also works underground, so it is not unusual to have an agent.

Catherine shook her head. The people of the Templar Church mainly work in the predominantly white areas such as Britain and Canada, and they did not involve them in Egypt.

"Well, how can you help us?" Courtman asked directly.
