O'Connor and his party of four followed Chen Mo and Ada Wang back to his camp.
Under the hospitality of Chen Mo and Ada Wang, the four of them soon sat around the fire, baking their clothes that were still wet.
Although several people had already had dinner on the boat, they were basically hungry after being frightened. At this time, Chen Mo took out the dry food that he had prepared. They were not polite. Even Evelin, a weak woman,
I ate half a piece of cake.
This is a local staple food in Egypt. It is made of flour. After roasting, it can be eaten with soup or eaten raw. This kind of food is the best dry food when walking in the desert.
"So you are archaeologists? Want to go to Hamna Tower?" Chen Mo deliberately pretended not to know their purpose and tried to trick Evelin.
She was just a little girl with no scheming intentions. Chen Mo didn't even use her magic ability. She just said everything like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"Yes! My brother found a map from the time of Seti I three thousand years ago, which marked the location of Hamna Tower. Unfortunately, the map was left on the ship and burned by fire." He said that the map was burned.
Looking at the map from three thousand years ago, Evelin looked regretful.
As an archaeologist who loves ancient Egyptian culture, she still feels very sorry for that map of great historical value.
"Oh? In that case, doesn't it mean that you can't go to Hamna Tower? You have neither horses nor camels, nor food supplies. Now you have even burned the map. You can't reach the city of the dead like this.
"." Chen Mo pretended to be worried about them.
Hearing Chen Mo's concern, Evelin was full of affection for this person who claimed to be a scholar from the East, and immediately explained with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. O'Connor has been to Hamna Tower, and it is for this reason that we
We hired him as our guide, and he was able to take us to Hamna Tower even without a map."
"Oh? Really? Mr. O'Connor has been to Hamna Tower? That's amazing!" Chen Mo looked curious and looked at O'Connor who was cleaning his gun: "I heard about that city
It is very dangerous. Although there are treasures buried in the legend, no one who has been there has ever come back alive."
Because all the guns had been soaked in water, in order to avoid rust, O'Connor had to wipe them all clean and remove the water from the barrels.
Hearing Chen Mo's question at this time, O'Connor showed an expression of reminiscence on his face, and his tone was a bit heavy: "I have indeed been to Hamna Tower, and it is indeed very dangerous there. My unit is here.
The whole army was wiped out there."
"An army was wiped out? This is really terrible! What happened to you? Bandits dare not attack the army. Is it a sandstorm or something like that..." Chen Mo, who was pretending to be surprised, paused here and said with a mysterious expression
He asked in a mysterious tone: "The legendary curse?"
"There is a group of strange men in black robes guarding that place. The attack we encountered tonight was also done by that group of people. They seemed to be preventing anyone from approaching that place." O'Connor had already recalled his experience of encountering the Pharaoh's guards.
, and connected it with the attack he encountered tonight, and guessed that they should be a group of people.
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows when he heard O'Connor's words. However, this was quite consistent with the character of O'Connor in the original movie. He is an experienced adventurer and has always been very calm in the movie. On the contrary,
Evelin, who looks innocent, is the one who always acts recklessly.
However, even though Chen Mo already knew their purpose and what they were about to encounter, the drama still had to go on.
He pretended to be worried and asked O'Connor: "Since Hamna Tower is so dangerous, do you still want to go?"
"I just collect money to do things. If someone pays me, I will take them there. At least I still have confidence in this guy. I can bring people back if there is any danger." O'Connor said, turning the revolver in his hand.
, and regained his confidence.
As the person who hired O'Connor, Evelin said very persistently: "I must find Hamnatta and prove that I am right! I want those who look down on me to know that I am better than them!
I want people at Cambridge University to know that even if I am a woman, I can do things they cannot do! Rejecting me is the biggest mistake those old die-hards made!"
"Then I can only wish you a smooth trip." After hearing what O'Connor and Evelin said, Chen Mo nodded and said nothing more.
On the other hand, Jonathan looked very attentive and asked Ada Wang: "What about you two? You look like you are going somewhere. Where are you going? If there is anything you need, I will
We can assist you at any time.”
At this time, Jonathan looked like a male dog in heat, wagging his tail at Ada Wang, but it was obvious that Ada Wang did not take a fancy to Mr. Jonathan, who liked to brag.
Chen Mo felt quite amused when he saw Jonathan being so attentive to Ada Wang Xian, but he did not mean to look down on Mr. Jonathan.
In the plot of the movie, although Mr. Jonathan seems to have no ability and likes to brag, he has always been very lucky. He is always able to avoid danger by mistake every time, and he is even more lucky to unintentionally turn things for the better.
The change of direction can be said to be like being favored by the gods.
And although Mr. Jonathan likes to brag, he is not incompetent. At least he is a very skilled thief, with good marksmanship and good driving skills. Overall, he is quite capable.
People are trustworthy adventure companions.
So when faced with Jonathan's question, Chen Mo just smiled and replied: "My assistant and I are going to Thebes. I found some information, which mentioned that Seti I once hid a treasure called the Death Bracelet in
In that city, I hope to find the bracelet. According to the information I found, it is related to the Scorpion King."
What Chen Mo mentioned was the treasure that could command the Anubis Army in the second part of the movie. It was also the third thing he wanted to get in this world, besides the Black Book of the Dead and the Golden Book of the Sun.
.
"The Scorpion King? I have heard of his legend, but there is no document that can prove that he really exists!" As soon as she heard the content related to ancient Egypt, Evelin immediately became excited and discussed with Chen Mo non-stop.
Get up: "He is a legendary figure five thousand years ago. It is said that he once led an army to conquer the world. The war lasted for seven years. His army was defeated and retreated to a desert. The dying Scorpion King
There he swore to Anubis that if Anubis could realize his wish to conquer the world, he would sacrifice his soul to the gods! By the way, the name of that desert is..."
"Amshay, it is said that Anubis used his divine power to turn the desert into an oasis and built a pure gold pyramid in it." Chen Mo took up Evelin's words with a smile.
