Because of the destruction of ancient monuments and the intention to steal precious historical relics, the O'Connors and their son Alex were imprisoned in a Cairo prison.
For O'Connor, this was a return visit to his old place, and he remembered that the previous warden had gone on adventures with them, and finally died in Hamna Tower.
"The conditions here are much better than before, at least there are no rats anymore." O'Connor sat on the bed board of the prison and joked to Alex beside him with a bit of joy: "And the room is also very nice.
Clean, at least these sheets are washed, Alexei, why don’t you take a nap?”
"How can we still sleep at this time? Will we be killed by those Egyptians?" Alex, who was only 8 years old, looked at his father with a worried look on his face. Although he knew that his parents were very unreliable,
But he really didn't expect that his father could still joke at this time.
O'Connor rubbed his son's head and smiled at him: "Don't worry Alex, nothing will happen to us. We will only be detained for a few months at most."
"But you and your mother destroyed the temple and planned to steal things! I heard from the teacher that the king of Egypt is an evil wizard. He will kill anyone who disobeys him, and then make mummies for him to enslave! Also!
He said that the Egyptians have been under his evil rule, and they will have no peace even after they die, and their bodies will be desecrated by him!" Alex was worried instead, and even quoted what the teacher in the school said.
Eight-year-old Alex has already started attending elementary school. The teacher in the school is a devout Puritan, and coupled with some arrogant prejudices, his words are naturally full of discrimination. Alex is inevitably affected by what he hears and sees.
When O'Connor heard his son say this, his smiling face suddenly turned serious. He pressed his son's shoulders seriously and said to him: "Son, what your teacher said is wrong and full of arrogance and discrimination. Egypt is now
The king was indeed a wizard, but he was not enslaving the Egyptian people!
Do you still remember that Uncle Adebe that your mother and I took you to meet when we came here? He is a native of Egypt, and he also took you to play on the streets. You saw those Egyptians, didn’t you?
Do they look like enslaved people? Those people who came back from the dead, do you think they are slaves?"
After what happened that year, O'Connor and Evelin returned to England to get married. Because of their previous experiences, O'Connor had a deep hatred for things like mummies and tombs. However, Evelin still liked to explore various ancient ruins and participate in archaeology.
Activity.
This time, the British Museum and the Cairo Museum conducted a joint archeology, and Evelyn was selected as a member of the archaeological team due to her familiarity with ancient Egyptian culture. She also brought her husband and son with her, planning to revisit her hometown.
After they came to Egypt, they also contacted their old friend Adebe, so they had a fairly good understanding of the changes in Egypt over the years.
In O'Connor's view, Chen Mo's governance of Egypt can be said to be quite good. The city is obviously much more prosperous than it was back then, and people's lives have also become better.
Although he did not accept the resurrection of the dead, O'Connor did not think it was a bad thing when he saw the living and the dead living in harmony.
Especially when he learned from Adebe that the people's living standards in Egypt had improved a lot in recent years, and the people loved Chen Mo as their king, he felt that there was no problem.
Therefore, when he heard his son evaluate Chen Mo with the condescending and discriminatory remarks in the UK, he still educated his son.
"I didn't expect that you would have such a high opinion of me even though you are in prison." Chen Mo appeared outside the prison and teased O'Connor.
"Mr. Chen Mo? Maybe I should call you His Majesty the King now?" O'Connor saw Chen Mo appear, stood up quickly, and hid his son behind him.
Chen Mo noticed his actions and didn't care. He just smiled and asked the jailer on the side to open the cell door.
He walked in, looked at the conditions of the prison, and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that they manage the prison pretty well. At least the sanitary conditions are much better than before."
"This all depends on your wise rule, Mr. Chen Mo." O'Connor said, half flattering and half flattering.
"No need to say flattery, it will not avoid your sin." Chen Mo looked at O'Connor, waved his hand to signal him not to flatter him, and then said to him: "You and Evelin destroyed a building with more than 3,000 people.
You are trying to steal a cultural relic that is proven to be at least 5,000 years old. According to Egypt’s current laws, you will have to spend at least several decades in prison, including your son.”
Alex was obviously frightened by these words. He didn't even realize that his father actually knew a king, nor did he realize that the person in front of him was the evil wizard he just mentioned.
However, O'Connor was obviously not frightened by these words. Instead, he asked Chen Mo very smartly: "In this case, His Majesty the King, you came to the prison in person, obviously not to visit an old friend? Is there any chance for me to atone?"
"
"Of course there are opportunities. Have you heard of Amshay?" Seeing that O'Connor was not scared, Chen Mo didn't bother to talk to him, and pointed out the reason why he came to him.
"Amshay? Scorpion King? That bracelet?" O'Connor quickly realized why Chen Mo came to him, and asked with some surprise: "You are going to find the Amshay Oasis. Are you interested in Anubis?"
Are the armies interested? I don't think your Army of the Dead would be any worse than Anubis's army."
"Thank you for your compliment, but in terms of combat power and scale, the army of the dead is still not as good as Anubis's army." Chen Mo was a little humble before continuing: "But I have no respect for Anubis.
The army actually only has so many interests. It doesn’t matter if it can get the best, but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t. What I’m more interested in is the divine power of Anubis.”
Hearing what Chen Mo said, O'Connor suddenly remembered what happened in the Cairo incident, and his eyes widened: "Is it just like back then? Are you planning to summon the gods again?"
"Maybe it's possible, maybe it's not necessary. I can't say whether I will summon God. The premise depends on whether you and Evelin can help me find Amshay successfully and achieve my goal." Chen Mo asked O'Connell.
Na shrugged, walked out of the cell door, turned around and said to him: "If you help me find Amshay, I will forgive your sins. If you can help me kill the Scorpion King, I will also give you a life."
Money, money that will allow you to spend the rest of your life without having to think about anything else but how to spend it."
