"Is there actually a pyramid under the Pyramid of Khufu?" Tony murmured in a low voice, "I have never heard of this. According to the technology at that time, it should be easy to discover."
"This is not your world." Xia Ya said.
Tony nodded, "That's right."
"What are you going to do now?" Tony asked, "Would you like to go in and take a look?"
"Dear Tony Stark, are you going to change your career to tomb robbing?" Char joked.
Tony laughed at himself, "Aren't Americans from Great Britain? This is ancestral craftsmanship."
"I don't deny this." Xia Ya said unequivocally.
He slowly stood up from his position, "Don't worry, it's not fun to come to Egypt after a long time and not go shopping, isn't it?
Egypt is not just a place with funerary culture.
But before that, we need to change our clothes. "
Xia raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the clothes on him, Tony, and Alicia began to change.
Egypt during this period had been Arabized, so the clothing tended to be in Arab style, and women needed to wear face scarves and headscarves. This was also convenient for Alicia, as she did not have to worry about her appearance causing unnecessary trouble.
So in fact, it is not a good thing for a person to be too beautiful, and it is difficult to go out, especially in this era.
Fortunately, Alicia was born into a royal family. If she were an ordinary wealthy family, she might not be able to help herself.
Speaking of which, Alilia seems to have Arab ancestry. Her grandmother is one-quarter Arab and one-quarter Caucasian.
His father also has Germanic ancestry, and Moria's mother is from West France.
According to this calculation, she has Celtic ancestry, Germanic ancestry, Chinese ancestry, Arab ancestry, and Caucasian ancestry. She is truly the heroine of the Mary Sue script, and the people of the world are united with her...
It's even more powerful than Char's skewer.
They soon arrived in Cairo, Egypt.
Most of the buildings in the city are built of limestone, the same color as the pyramids. Perhaps due to the erosion of wind and sand, most of the buildings have few edges and corners.
Small vendors can be seen everywhere on the streets, and many skinny beggars can also be seen. Egypt was in chaos during this period, with wars everywhere, and the Nile River flooded, and many crops were submerged.
Many soldiers can be seen patrolling the streets. They are soldiers from the Ottoman Empire, but they are not many in number. Compared with the Egyptian people around them, they seem to be of a different era.
The Ottoman Empire never took care of Egypt after occupying it. Most of the time, it was a relatively independent province, and its voice in the world was very weak.
Even in the 20th century with advanced information, if there was no Suez Canal, perhaps no one would remember them.
It is sad that Egypt, which once built such a miracle, has now fallen to this level.
But looking at it from another perspective, the change of civilizations is a normal thing. In the end, only one of the four ancient civilizations survived.
The entire human civilization may only be an insignificant episode compared to the long river of time.
They found a relatively clean tavern and sat down. The owner was a very young European. She said that her father was a scholar who came here to study Egyptian culture.
But Xia Ya thinks he should also come to Egypt to purchase goods.
There are actually quite a few European businessmen like this in Egypt.
The three of them each ordered a cup of hibiscus tea, which was the most important drink of the royal family of the Egyptian pharaohs.
Egyptians prefer black tea, fennel and roselle. They like to drink strong and mellow black tea. They do not like to add milk to the tea soup, but like to add sucrose to the tea.
Black tea is particularly popular in Egypt. They rarely use tea leaves, instead using tea powder or broken tea, which can be easily mixed with sugar.
It is not unusual to add sugar to tea. In fact, many modern tea-flavored drinks have a lot of sugar added, so Xiaya was used to drinking it.
At this time, the door of the teahouse on one side was pushed open, and another group of Europeans walked in. The leader was a middle-aged man with short blond hair. His hair was neatly arranged, his beard was shaved cleanly, and he was wearing Very decent.
They were sitting at the table next to Char and others, so their exchanges were also heard by Char.
"We will just expand the original passage a little more, and we should be able to get in."
"The last person who entered must have succeeded. Is there really anything valuable inside?"
"With such a big tomb, there is definitely no way to take it all away."
Apparently, they were also a group of people who came to Egypt specifically to fight.
After a while, the people communicating looked at the leading man.
"Mr. Galante, what do you think?"
Galante nodded and said, "No matter whether there is something inside, we have to go in and take a look. Funds are not a problem."
"Since you said so, we have no worries." One of them said.
Galante looked at a darker-skinned Arab beside him and asked, "Is there a problem with the demolition work, Nig?"
Nige thought for a while, "It should be no problem. Controlling the yield is enough to expand a channel."
These people seemed to be in awe of this young man named Galante and regarded him as their mainstay.
Galante came back to his senses, glanced around, and soon noticed the three of Char who were sitting next to them, and quickly locked his sights on Char.
He seemed to have discovered something. He opened his eyes suddenly and stood up from his seat.
"What's the matter, Mr. Galante?" Nig asked.
He quickly followed his line of sight and noticed the three people sitting next to him, and quickly recognized that the three people were outsiders and not local to Egypt.
"Are you a fellow traveler?" Nige lowered his voice.
Galante didn't speak, but quickly stepped forward to Xiaya's side, with an imperceptible awe and fear in his eyes.
"Are you waiting for me here?"
Xia raised his eyebrows and looked at Galante, with some doubts and confusion in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
Galante's expression froze, "We met in your tavern and you gave me something."
Xia did give some ordinary people some destiny in the tavern, but not much. For example, when he made a bet with Semele before, he gave him immortality...
"Oh, I almost forgot." Xia Ya said suddenly.
But then, he said confusedly, "You are called"
Galante twitched his eyelids, "Galant."
"Oh, yes, Galante." Xia smiled, "Look at my memory."
Galante fell silent. After leaving the tavern, he was captured by the West French army and enlisted in the army. On the battlefield, the strangeness of his body soon became apparent.
No matter how seriously injured he is, he will not die. As long as he is given some time, he will eventually recover as before.
The most serious incident was when his heart was directly penetrated by a bullet. The army buried him directly on the spot. He crawled out of the soil seven days later.
Later, before the troops of the Brittanian Empire invaded the imperial capital of West France, he escaped to Germany by water.
He felt that since he had gained immortality, he could no longer just muddle along like he had in the past. He wanted to see the world, find the mysteries, and find out the secret of his own immortality.
His first stop was Egypt, but he had no funds, so he used his ability to deceive the Kaiser and deceive him out of money.
He stabbed his own heart in front of the Kaiser, performed a wave of seven-day resurrection techniques, and deceived him into saying that he was over 300 years old and had debated with Leonardo da Vinci and argued with Newton.
He said that his immortality came from the Pharaoh of Egypt. Because Egyptian mummies were already very popular among European high-level officials at that time, the Kaiser quickly believed Galante's coaxing and provided him with this time. Expedition funds.
Before he came to Egypt, he had actually been thinking about that tavern, but he never had the courage to go there again.
He thought about many possibilities in his mind, thinking about the purpose of that being giving him this ability.
He imagined a lot, some conspiracy to subvert the world, some mission to save the world, or even a slightly smaller scheme that made him an experimental subject of some mysterious magic.
But I didn't expect that when I saw that person again, that person had already forgotten me.
To the existence in front of me, what I was given seemed completely insignificant.
He remembered the bet between Xia Ya and Semele.
This idea was rejected by him many times, and he thought at the time that things should not be that simple.
But now it seems that he is immortal.
It seems that it was really just a random bet...
Of course, Xia Ya didn't know what Galante was thinking, but he really didn't think of the person in front of him.
Xia Ya remembers that she once gave immortality to a person.
But it is difficult for him, an Easterner, to remember Western names, and it is just an episode in his life. According to the length, it may not even count as a chapter.
And the Galante in front of him is really different from the past. The Galante in the past had longer hair and seemed to be slovenly because of deserting military service.
"Compared with the past, your appearance is really different." Xia Ya said.
"Is he someone you know?" Tony asked.
Xia Ya nodded, "I made a bet with Semele, which involves him."
"Semele?" Tony recalled, "It's that Dionysus, right?"
Di...Dionysus! ?
Perhaps many people are unfamiliar with the name Semele, but Dionysus is different.
Those behind him obviously didn't take it seriously and felt that the name should just be a code name.
But Galante, who knew something, had a storm in his heart. However, in order to maintain his majesty in front of those behind him, he tried to keep his emotions as stable as possible.
But the image of the bartender who was arguing with me still appeared in my mind involuntarily, and I recalled his tone when communicating with me.
His tone was indeed a little weird at that time, as if he was talking to him from the perspective of a person who had lived for a long, long time.
And the wine there is really
He drank from the collection there in the Kaiser's palace, and to be honest, none of it was as good as the wine he drank in that tavern.
But if that person is Dionysus.
Galante looked at Char.
So who could this person be?
