"Devils... shouldn't be. I remember that they can't appear on earth in large numbers." Kai remembered that King Bulli of Asgard once said that a group of mages have been working to kill these kinds of monsters that can directly threaten mankind. Creatures that continue the race, and judging from the information Kai received later, this group of mages seemed to have used some other means to prevent demons from entering the earth. They had succeeded before Kai returned to Great Britain.
For example, Catherine's witch weave can only briefly summon demons to help her attack enemies, and the demons cannot come to the world at all.
Pastor Dalton was silent for a while and then said: "Although I don't know what happened to demons in your time, but in modern times, demons do have ways to appear in the world."
"What method?" Kai asked. He really didn't understand much. Among the spells he had learned, there were very few and almost none related to demons. Kai had some knowledge of Catherine's method, but in Kai's opinion, it was only a temporary borrowing of the devil's power, not a summoning of the devil.
"Sacrifice! Large-scale living sacrifices held by devil believers!" Dalton pointed at the photo.
Kai looked over in surprise, and then asked in disbelief: "Are you saying that the appearance of these demons was caused by the Germans making sacrifices to bring them to the earth? Don't they know that demons use humans as their Food? How can a prey summon a predator to eat itself?"
**********
About five days later, Kay, Catherine, Coatman and his new butler Alfred Sr. set off from London to Egypt on the Nautilus, the most advanced submarine in the world.
On the Nautilus, Kai looked at a pile of information provided by Dalton, but kept complaining about his own insecurities. He did not intend to get involved in the war between the British and the Germans at the beginning, but when he knew that the Germans really planned to use those dark creatures to win the war, Kai couldn't help but take action.
There are some things that Kai can indeed ignore. For example, the conflict between the interests of the Germans and the British. Although the war between them will harm many people, no matter what, it is still a matter of human beings and belongs to the internal contradictions among the people.
In Kay's view, there is no question of who is righteous and who is evil between the Entente and the Central Powers. Neither side is a good thing. So Kai doesn't care who he helps or who he doesn't.
But it's different when monsters like vampires and demons join in. It's a conflict between ourselves and the enemy. Kai cannot tolerate those monsters harming humans. This is a natural attitude.
But despite this, Kekai still laments the British thieves. When they knew that Kai was dissatisfied with the Germans and demons being mixed together, they collected a lot of evidence in a short period of time about the Germans and those dark creatures being mixed together, especially the information about those dark creatures killing ordinary people. , and there were even a lot of them.
This deeply stimulated Kai, and coupled with the indignant anger of Dalton and George V at the side, it really stirred Kai's anger, and Kai accidentally agreed to help them.
Of course, Kai also knew that this was their method, but Kai didn't care. There was always a certain bottom line in life, and the Germans' actions clearly exceeded the bottom line, so Kai didn't mind being used by the British.
"So, there is a reason why Germans like to be regarded as villains." Thinking of this, Kai had to complain.
In Kai's previous life, any film or television drama about World War I and World War II that mentioned Germany was bound to be the villain. Kai once complained about this.
Because in Kai's view, forget about World War II, Germany should be a villain for the many crimes it committed. But the first war was a bit unfair. As mentioned above, both the Entente and the Central Powers were bad, so no one could blame them. But it was only the Germans who lost that were defeated as villains.
But now, the Germans are really seeking their own death.
"Your Majesty Duke, would you like to have afternoon tea?" Just as Kai was thinking wildly, Kai's butler knocked on the door and came in.
"Is it afternoon now?" Kai raised his head and looked at his butler, old Alfred, and asked doubtfully. They're under the sea now, so Kai's sense of time is a little confused.
"Yes, it's already four o'clock in the afternoon." Old Alfred replied respectfully.
This old butler has always had the same attitude since Kai first saw him. He is wearing a dark tuxedo butler's uniform, a white shirt and gloves, and his manners are elegant, rigorous and capable. A typical old-school British court style, which pays attention to etiquette, details and vanity, and strictly regulates the professional philosophy and scope of responsibilities of the butler in accordance with the court etiquette.
A starched snow-white shirt, a black or white vest, a black bow tie, a black tuxedo, crisp black trousers and shiny black leather shoes, and yes, a trace of untidy hair and an always upright body. Almost everyone who met him would admit that the butler was a gentleman's gentleman.
More gentleman than gentleman, more noble than noble.
This sentence has always been Alfred's motto.
"Yeah..." Kai didn't have any special feelings about afternoon tea, but he didn't refuse it either. "By the way, how long until we get to Egypt?"
Although the environment of the Nautilus was not bad, Kai was still a little unbearable after sailing continuously for more than half a month.
Old Alfred's full name is Alfred Pennyworth. He was introduced to Kay by George V. The old man's family has been serving the British royal family for generations. Counting Alfred, the family has The fifth generation has been the steward of the royal family. Originally, Alfred was supposed to stay in the position of royal butler until he retired, and then let his son take over.
But two years ago, his son joined the army. It's okay. The Pennyworth family has a tradition of joining the military. Their family even believes that the training in the military can make them better qualified for the job of housekeepers. But unfortunately, his son died fighting in France...
It was also because of this blow that Alfred Sr. was depressed for a long time. During this period, Alfred Sr. believed that his condition was not suitable to serve the King of England anymore, so he retired early. It was not until recently that he accepted the commission from the King of England and came out to serve as Kai's steward again.
"I asked Chief Officer Yi Shi that the Nautilus will arrive in Alexandria at nine o'clock in the evening on the 19th. After that, we will take the train directly to Cairo. At about six o'clock in the afternoon on the third day after arriving in Alexandria, we will arrive in Cairo Stay at the big hotel.”
Some people wonder why Kai ran to Egypt and brought his butler with him.
The reason is simple, because according to MI6 intelligence, the Germans are making big moves in Egypt. It is said that he wanted to use an ancient Egyptian artifact to resurrect an ancient army. The person responsible for this operation was a wizard who cooperated with the Germans. British intelligence agents also tried to stop it, but all the personnel sent disappeared without exception.
Intelligence showed that this wizard possessed extremely powerful supernatural abilities, so the matter was assigned to the Holy Church led by Dalton. Except for Mina, because the vampire queen doesn't like the Egyptian environment very much.
Dalton, who received the report of the incident, took it very seriously, so he asked Kai to take the former tomb exploration team to deal with it.
As for why old Alfred was brought along... the reason is simple, because Alfred is not just a simple butler. As a family that has served the British royal family for five generations, the Pennyworth family has long been They are no longer ordinary housekeepers. In addition to their duties as housekeepers, they are also proficient in, but not limited to, intelligence collection and organization, escorting, hand-to-hand combat, the use and maintenance of various firearms, driving various means of transportation, etc.
It can be said that any butler from the Pennyworth family can easily serve as an MI6 agent. Such an awesome guy, what reason does Kai have for not taking him with him?
