Ten days later, everyone returned to Cairo. Also following them back were ten Bedouin warriors and fifty Guardian tribe warriors (hereinafter referred to as Guardians). Of the fifty Bedouin warriors, only ten survived; the others died. In fact, when Kai returned, several Bedouin warriors were still alive but seriously injured. Kai had the ability to cure them, but in the end he respected their wishes and they believed that they should return to Allah.
Although Kai did not believe in any religion, he still helped them realize their last wishes and gave them their last blessings. Kai's last blessing was not based on their teachings, but was made up by himself. After all, he didn't know how to do it. But the soldiers were content.
As for why they were unwilling to let Kai save them, the reason was simple. Curing them comes at a price - their souls!
Kai has a treasure, a treasure that can bring the dead back to life - a holy object from the old religion - the Holy Grail of Life. The Holy Grail can theoretically cure any injury. As long as the person being treated has not burped, it can be revived.
But this is conditional, and you have to pay for what you get.
The Holy Grail is always fair. Although the Holy Grail was captured by Kai and became its undisputed owner, this rule could not be changed. Back then, Kai used the Holy Grail to save Arthur. He was lucky and relied on his golden finger to withstand the price. At that time, all of Kai's energy points were consumed.
But now Kai doesn't have many energy points in his inventory. Although he has accumulated a lot of energy by killing Immorton, many dog demons, the Scorpion King, etc., he only has two energy points. According to the original The experience of saving Arthur, these two points are not enough to save one person, let alone others.
But Kai thought of a way to make peace with the mud. Although the price must be paid, delivery can be postponed. For example, if Kai saves Ah Fu, Ah Fu will pay the price, but he can wait for decades until Ah Fu's soul returns to the Holy Grail after his death. There will be a little interest in the process, but it doesn't matter, Kai can help pay it off. In this way, he consumes very little energy, and saving a few people is nothing.
But this is also related to another issue. That is a matter of faith.
For example, the Bedouin believe in Christianity. They participate in the so-called jihad just for their faith and to let their souls ascend to heaven. But the price for allowing them to survive is that their souls cannot return to Allah. They are unwilling. Why should they pay such a price when they can obviously go to heaven soon?
This was also the time when Kai asked Lao Fu if he could accept such a price. He remembered that Lao Fu's family were all devout Protestant believers. People who believed in God still valued the ownership of their souls. Especially in this era, faith was treated much more seriously than in later generations.
But Lao Fu didn't hesitate and immediately accepted the request on Ah Fu's behalf. In the eyes of some, Lao Fu is a bit too selfish. For example, Catherine may not be considered a witch, but she is indeed a devout believer. Well, that's how amazing it is.
She felt that if that didn't work, Ah Fu's soul should be returned to the embrace of God. If she had known her future life, she probably wouldn't have said that.
But she didn't condemn too much. After all, who could blame an old man for saving his only grandson? This is human nature!
So Ah Fu came back to life, and Ah Fu did not blame his grandfather for his choice. It's not that he doesn't believe in God, on the contrary, he is still devout, but he is not willing to leave his grandfather behind. That would be too cruel to an old man. As for the destination of his soul... He's not dead yet, let's talk about it after he dies!
Of course, the Bedouin's choice is not wrong. It is a personal choice and cannot be forced.
However, the emergence of the Holy Grail has also brought about sequelae, that is, almost everyone regards the Holy Grail of Life as the Holy Grail that is widely spread in the Western world. Especially King Arthur's Holy Grail Legend. This time Kai's religious aura became even stronger.
This is terrible. He is an unbeliever, but he is actually worshiped as a religious figure. It is simply incredible.
After seeing the Holy Grail, ten Bedouin warriors firmly believed that it was a holy relic of Allah and they must protect it. So he vowed to follow Kai. However, Kai privately believed that these Bedouins simply failed to die in battle, so they wanted to continue to follow Kai in pursuing a glorious death in battle. This severe self-destructive tendency is really ***.
On the other hand, the people of the Guardian tribe are much more receptive to Holy Grail treatment. Kai is a god, so it is normal for their souls to belong to gods. So fifty dying Guardian warriors accepted the Holy Grail and swore to become Guardians of the Holy Grail.
As for the British...unfortunately, except for Ah Fu, all the British soldiers were speechless.
…
Returning to Cairo again, no one recognized this as the city they had stayed in before. There are traces of gunpowder smoke everywhere, the city still exudes a faint rancid smell, and there are even fewer pedestrians.
It wasn't until they contacted the intelligence chief in Cairo that they learned what happened after they left.
They left for almost two months, but during these two months, Cairo almost turned into a battlefield. The British and the Egyptians, the Egyptians and the various Egyptian tribes, let’s put it this way, not only Cairo, but almost the entire Egypt became a pot of porridge in the past two months.
First, various disasters led to food shortages, which in turn led to intensified conflicts. In order to vent their anger, people began to kill each other brutally in order to compete for food, clean water sources, or simply for ambition.
In the past two months, there have been no less than fifteen riots in Cairo due to food, plague and other issues. This suddenly increased the death toll in Cairo by 30,000. As for how many people died throughout Egypt, only God knows.
Anyway, after such a commotion, the British rule in Egypt became stable, because after everyone killed each other, they found that the natural disasters had passed. They looked at each other in the ruins, they were all bruised and swollen, and they didn't get anything, so they might as well Honestly.
These things have nothing to do with Kai and the others, but the next thing has to do with them.
It's about Anna Sui.
Kai saw Anna Sui before, but didn't realize it was Anna Sui. So the woman miraculously escaped and ran to Cairo to meet with the German Baron von Grossmann, and then the British noticed them.
The noise these people made in Egypt was too great. They killed at least more than 3,000 people. So many people were killed that even if the British were blind, it would be impossible not to notice them. So the British began to investigate and found Anna Sui and the masked man Carl. This masked man unexpectedly appeared next to Baron von Grossmann.
No wonder Kai hasn't seen him since.
After that, Anna Sui left Egypt with the Germans, and her whereabouts had to be known.
But the British didn't learn everything. They at least knew Anna Sui's secret - she became a devil!
This discovery surprised Kai. He had only felt that Anna Sui's aura was a bit weird before, but he didn't expect that she would turn into a demon. She was a pure human before! How could he become a demon?
You know, demons are not transformed from the souls of evil people as in legends. They are simply alien creatures. How can humans become demons? The species have changed!
