William put the Eye of Shangri-La back into the box, covering up his inner greed and desire for eternal life.
In William's world, how long a person can live is not determined by the lifespan of the body. Even if William is transformed by dragon blood, he can theoretically live for two to three hundred years, but William's spiritual personality is still A mortal cannot escape his own destiny.
Therefore, the water of the Fountain of Immortality does not mean much to William. This kind of immortality is only limited immortality and will still be killed by more powerful forces. Just like Diarmuid died of his own curse, and the Dragon Emperor The same curse that comes with dying from a dagger.
"Imerton will lead your people to Xi'an, China, and we will dig out the Dragon Emperor."
William said calmly, issuing orders to Immorton. The old man in red didn't quite understand the relationship between his Imogen master and this handsome young man at this time, but since the Imogen master obeyed his words so much, the old man in red naturally I can only express my agreement.
It has to be said that the financial and resources possessed by the descendants of the Immorton Monk Group are really amazing. As soon as William finished speaking, the transportation airship was ready and could go to Xi'an, China at any time.
As the current overlord of the earth, the British Empire has huge influence around the world and can influence the decisions of various governments. Especially in 1926, China was in an era of warlords. Warlords everywhere had no choice but to , have neither the ability nor the will to prevent the imperialists from showing off their power at home.
After William and his party were covered with a layer of tiger skin, the passage became very smooth.
William sat on the airship and continued the unfinished chess game with Immorton. Both of their minds were not on the chessboard at this time, and their minds were already placed in more profound places.
Walong wants to get the treasure of the Golden Rooster King, and Jackie Chan wants to prevent the resurrection of the Dragon Emperor. At the same time, there is a deep and sharp conflict between him and Walong, that is, Jackie Chan wants to hand over the treasure to the country, even if it is a dragon in this world. Imperial treasure.
Of course, in view of this era, in the warlord melee in the motherland, no force can represent China, so his choice will only be to kill the Dragon Emperor and let the Dragon Emperor's treasure continue to be buried in dust. Therefore, Jackie Chan and Wa Long are here After this operation is over, another dispute will arise, but this is not William's business. The treasure of Hamna Tower is actually enough to satisfy him.
If Jonathan wants to get the treasure, he can give it to him from William's share. As for Evelyn, William plans to give her a queen, or even the status of queen, and the reward for the Immorton monks is nothing more than a gift. National awards.
"When do you plan to become the Pharaoh? I am willing to assist you at any time, whether it is after getting the Dragon Emperor's army or the Anubis army." Immorton asked William as he made a move.
Evelin took a chair and sat next to William and listened to the conversation between the two. She held the "Golden Sun Sutra" in her hand. As long as there was any trouble in Immorton, she would read out the sutra. She really couldn't feel good or trusted the high priest Immorton who killed her father Seti I in her memory and assassinated William again.
"I am an upright brave man. I saved the princess and slayed the evil dragon. Even if I become a king, I should be justified and innocent." William said to himself, saying words that were incomprehensible. In fact, The implication of these words is very easy to understand.
Some things can be said and done, some things can only be said but not done, and some things can only be done but not said.
What William did could only be done, not said. He had to maintain his role as a messenger of justice. Only in this way could he be favored by fate.
"What do you mean?" Immorton was confused.
"It wasn't me who conquered Egypt and became Pharaoh, but the Egyptian people invited me to become their Pharaoh." William said with a chuckle. The legitimacy of the latter was much greater than that of the former.
William followed the Holy Lord and took the Holy Lord's ride to steal the power of the Egyptian gods. Whether it was Ra, Osiris, or Horus, they all represented royal power. How did they view themselves and whether they supported him in becoming the Pharaoh of Egypt? , this is very ambiguous, so letting the people choose him is the most reasonable behavior.
The gods will not easily interfere in the human world, let alone the people's choices, so as long as he gets the support of the people, it is easy for him to become a pharaoh.
"How is this possible? The Egyptians are now under the control of the Arabs. You want to become a pharaoh. How is this possible? They cannot abandon their belief in the true God. Even if you are invited to become a king by them, you can only It would be the Sultan, not the Pharaoh.”
Immorton couldn't understand William's train of thought. He put his hand on the table and said solemnly, "Listen to me, wait until you get the Dragon Emperor or the army of Anubis and then use force to overthrow Egypt, even if you want to conquer it." World, I can help you too.”
"I am the protagonist of justice, how can I do such a thing?" A smile appeared on William's face, "What I did was to save the Copts again, just like how Moses saved the slave Israelites. A true Egyptian.”
The Israelites were slaves of the Egyptians a long time ago. The prophet Moses was also an Israelite but was adopted by Pharaoh Seti I and became the adopted son of Pharaoh. Later, the brother of Ramses II, he saved the Israelites in the name of God and brought them to Egypt. As they fled Egypt, Moses became a prophet.
Prophets appear in the Old Testament of the Bible. In a sense, the status of prophets in the Old Testament is that of the saints in the New Testament. The church can canonize saints, but it cannot canonize prophets.
"Save the Copts." There was confusion in Immorton's eyes.
"Of course, isn't my action of saving them a repeat of Moses' saving of the Israelites?" William said softly.
The main ethnic group in modern Egypt is the Arabs. They have nothing to do with the ancient Egyptians who established the glorious civilization of Egypt. The four major ancient civilizations of later generations, China, India, Egypt, and Babylon (Iraq), clearly exist, but only China claims to have it. Its civilization has continued and has never been interrupted. The reason is that the main nation that established Chinese civilization has never changed.
The high-caste Brahmins and Kshatriyas in India have always regarded themselves as white Europeans and Aryans. The peak of ethnographic research in the 19th century always believed that Aryans were the highest and Jews were the lowest. Indians have always believed that Aryans are the highest and Jews are the lowest. Being proud of the civilization they built has allowed Indians to maintain their pride for a century. In fact, what really created Indian civilization was created by a dark-skinned nation that they regarded as untouchables, and these noble and elegant people The Leans are just invaders.
The situation in Egypt and Iraq is very similar. Modern Egyptians and Iraqis who are proud of their ancient civilization actually have nothing to do with the ancient people who created the ancient Egyptian civilization and the ancient Babylonian civilization, even though they claim to be the successors of a great civilization. , the ancient Egyptians and ancient Babylonians are all our ancestors, and in fact they are just simple invaders.
This is completely different from the absolute genetic inheritance relationship between Chinese people and ancient Chinese people.
The Crescent Christians in Egypt are descendants of the Arabs, while the Copts who believe in Christianity are the descendants of the ancient Egyptians. In other words, Egypt is originally the country of the Copts, and they deserve the name Egyptian. Today's Egypt They are not qualified to be called Egypt, and the Copts were forced upon them by the Arabs.
Therefore, it is a matter of course that the Copts should establish their own country, regain their country and land from the invaders Arabs, and regain their name as Egyptians.
"How?" Immorton asked.
"What else can be done? World War II will come soon. The hegemony of the British Empire will be completely lost. The British Empire can no longer maintain its rule over the colonies. Therefore, Egypt's independence is the general trend. I will become the Pharaoh. The time has come for Yvonne to become a princess.”
William said lightly, it can only be said that in many things, the butt determines the head. When Jackie Chan accused the British Empire of colonial rule and taking cultural relics from other countries, Evelyn chose to refute, while William chose to dig into the British Empire. Evelin said Out of silence, I even agreed in my heart.
Although Evelyn's father is British, her mother is Egyptian and a Coptic, a descendant of ancient Egyptians.
Jackie Chan listened to William's words and silently gave a thumbs up to William to express his agreement.
Jackie Chan, who came from later generations, knew the development of history. After World War II, the hegemony of the British Empire was lost, and instead the Soviet Union and the United States became the world hegemons. Although the two sides had decisive differences in ideology, they were still concerned about the British Empire. The attitudes of imperialist and colonialist countries are surprisingly consistent.
One talks about liberating all mankind, while the other talks about liberating the whole world and asking for national self-determination.
Although the British Empire gave up its colonies, it had a lot of thoughts about digging holes and laying landmines. Isn't it about national self-determination? When British India wanted independence, the British used self-determination to divide India into two countries, Pakistan. In India, Hindus and Crescents divided and conquered each other. Most of the colonies that wanted independence in the future followed the same pattern.
Of course, Egypt can do this. Even if the Copts are a minority, they account for one-fifth to one-sixth of the total population of Egypt. They are ready for partition. You are Arabs, and we are descendants of ancient Egyptians. Popular Science Special people, you believe in the true God and we believe in God. If so, why should we be together?
Egypt's large population is a burden and its economy cannot develop. But Egypt with a smaller population would have no problem, especially since the Copts are extremely apostolic.
