Cairo, Egypt, 1926
Pedestrians on the street came and went in a hurry without stopping at all, and a dull atmosphere hung over Egypt.
Since Egypt's ruling party, the Wafd Party, repealed all laws enacted during the previous parliamentary period and released all political prisoners during this period through an amnesty bill, which aroused strong dissatisfaction with the British Commissioner in Egypt, the British Empire took the opportunity to sail in the cruiser Alexandria, exerting strong pressure on Egypt's ruling party.
For a time, everyone in Egypt felt the strong political pressure of the British Empire. Rumors that the war would happen again also appeared on the streets of Cairo. Even after suffering the blow of the First World War, the British Empire still remains today. was the dominant world power, while Egypt was under the protection of the British Empire.
It seems that if the high-level government does not agree to the British request, then Cairo, the capital of Egypt, will inevitably become a battlefield. How domineering the United States will be in later generations, then the United Kingdom at this time will be at least ten times or a hundred times more domineering than it is.
British dads are still dads and Egyptian sons are still sons.
William was walking on the streets of Cairo, looking around blankly, looking at the two gold coins of fate that had turned dim in his hand, 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 stirred up huge waves. Should he accept or reject it?
William then felt a deep malice, not only from fate, but also from the attention of gods or other great beings. This was inducement.
If you want to fight Duke William, the evil dragon, and defeat him in an honest and fair manner, it is not enough to just rely on your own strength. Francis relied on external power, so he lost to the evil dragon without relying on external forces. If you don't have the power, you don't even have the power to challenge the evil dragon.
The power William himself possesses now seems to be one step at a time, but in fact the foundation is not that stable. Even if he has become a dragon-slaying hero now, holds the holy sword in his hand, and has obtained the title of king, he still cannot be the opponent. opponent.
The time he needs most now is accumulation, but time waits for no one. He was forced to slay a dragon just three days after traveling to this world. This is basically a death without a life.
Since there is no chance of death, why should I be afraid of danger?
Therefore he has no other choice.
It's just that William accepted the journey of destiny, but who can tell him what kind of world this is, what is special about Cairo in 1926 to the world, and what is the significance of this point in time.
"My friend, are you here to play in Egypt? Are you here for Hamna Tower?"
William was looking at Cairo, Egypt in 1926. Suddenly, a man with thin hair came over and greeted William warmly. If it weren't for his appearance, he didn't look like a decent person, and he greeted William At this time, his eyes were staring at the two gold coins in his hand, and he really seemed like a kind and enthusiastic person.
"Hamna Tower?" William asked subconsciously, the name of this place felt inexplicably familiar.
"The Tower of Hamna is just a legend. Many scholars believe that it does not exist. However, Evelyn, an archaeologist at the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, believes that the Tower of Hamna does exist. It was the treasure house of the pharaohs during the period when Egypt was powerful. , you know the Pharaohs, they are the kings of Egypt. It is said that there are endless treasures in it, all of which were 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 the UK, and so am I. My name is Jonathan. I don't know yet." Your name sir.”
In Cairo, Egypt, in 1926, in the legendary city of Hamna Tower, Jonathan was in front of him. William stared at him with wide eyes, and suddenly realized that these elements may not be conspicuous when separated from each other, but once Combined, this is not the very famous Hollywood movie "Legend of Gods and Ghosts" or "The Mummy 1" in later generations.
The story of Legend of Gods and Ghosts is quite simple and is a standard Hollywood story line. It tells the story of the Pharaoh's high priest Immorton in the city of Thebes, Egypt, in 1719 BC.
In ancient Egypt, the state system was a system that integrated politics and religion. The Pharaoh was both the king of Egypt and the high priest of Egypt. He ruled the world as a descendant of the supreme god, the sun god Ra.
However, the Pharaoh, who had all the power, could not rule the country by himself, so the position of high priest was separated separately, and the high priest became a person below one person and above ten thousand people.
The high priest Imoton fell in love with the Pharaoh's beloved concubine Ansuna. During the affair, the Pharaoh discovered him on the spot. The Pharaoh found out that he had been cuckolded and was furious. He wanted to punish the two of them, but Ansuna struck first. To be strong, he killed the Pharaoh.
When the Pharaoh's guards rushed into the palace, the Pharaoh was already dead. In order to protect her lover Imogen, Ansuna stayed as a bait, while Imogen was dragged away by the monks loyal to him. Suna committed suicide with a dagger when the guards arrived.
Immorton was hiding in Egypt. In order to resurrect his lover, he led his monks to break into the Pharaoh's tomb, took away the legendary artifact Black Book of the Dead, and tried to use the power of the Black Book of the Dead to resurrect Ansuna.
Just when Immorton was about to successfully resurrect Ansuna, the Pharaoh's guards broke in at this moment, interrupted the resurrection ceremony, and killed Imogen and his gang in one fell swoop. All the monks were killed alive. Immortal became a mummy, and Immorton was given the punishment of "worm bite" because he had an affair with the pharaoh's concubine, killed the pharaoh, broke into the tombs of past pharaohs, stole the Black Book of the Dead, and held a resurrection ceremony. It was really heinous. Eternal life will be sealed in the sarcophagus and monitored by the guards.
But once released, Immorton, who has thousands of years of magic power, will be resurrected and bring ten plagues to Egypt.
This is the background of the story of The Mummy. The modern scene is that Jonathan, his sister and O'Connell, who is still in Cairo prison, go on an adventure to Hanunata, the city of the undead, free Immorton, and then take him back to Hanunata. The story of being sealed again.
"What's wrong, sir? It's normal to be stunned after hearing this. In the whole of Cairo, no, even in the whole of Egypt, and even in Europe, no one has heard of the great treasure of Hamnatari."
Jonathan looked at the handsome young man in front of him and said with joy. The young man in front of him was wearing clothes of unknown material. He knew at a glance that they were high-end goods. There was a noble and graceful look on his handsome face with clear outlines. His temperament, with a sword on his waist, is full of aristocratic style.
If Jonathan were a girl, just seeing the boy's appearance would be enough to drive him crazy.
He forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart.
You can tell at a glance that the young man in front of you is a young master from a wealthy family. He may be a big nobleman or a big businessman in the UK. He is an out-and-out fat sheep. No matter how many petty thefts you commit, I am afraid that he will not be as free as the young man in front of you. There are many rewards.
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. However, things are unpredictable and his parents died in an accident, so only Jonathan and his sister Evelyn were left to depend on each other.
My younger sister, Evelyn, is an Egyptologist and archaeologist. She can read and write Egyptian characters, and can also translate the hieroglyphics used by Egyptian monks. She now works as a small librarian in the Egyptian Antiquities Museum.
The director of the museum said that he took in two siblings, Jonathan and Evelyn, because their parents had made huge donations to the museum. As a result, their family fell behind. Jonathan Nannian developed a habit of petty theft and tried every means to make money to support his family.
"I'm not interested in Hamna Tower. I want to go to Cairo Prison. Could you help me lead the way?" William took out a gold coin from his hand and waved it in front of Jonathan. Jonathan had an indescribable expression on his face. He was so happy that when he was about to take it with his hand, the gold coin was replaced by a silver coin and fell into his hand.
The smile on Jonathan's face instantly faded, and he said helplessly, "You are..."
"The money is mine, and what I give you is yours. If I don't give it to you, you can't rob it, let alone steal it." William said lightly, looking at Jonathan's pocket, "You stole this gold coin in my pocket. Forget it, 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, let alone this "noble earl".
Jonathan's eyes lit up and he led the way happily, finally confirming that this was a super fat sheep.
