The desert is always so cold and lonely at night. Others went to bed early because of the fierce battles and excitement during the day. This day was so exciting for them that everyone felt overwhelmed.
Only Kai walked outside the camp alone, lying sprawled on the sand dunes and looking at the clean night sky. He was still thinking about the Sphinx's answer during the day.
"Where have the gods gone?"
"have no idea……"
"Then they...are dead?"
"The gods... live forever!"
"In the end what happened?"
"Insufficient information..."
The Sphinx is the patron saint. The scope of this guardianship is very broad. He is the guardian of the dead. He is responsible for monitoring the return of the soul of the deceased to the underworld and guarding the tranquility of the corpse of the deceased. He is the patron saint of buildings, tombs, and knowledge. He is also the guardian of the living.
The patron saint of people, to put it bluntly, he is the kind of versatile snake oil.
Sphinxes are a bit like intelligent robots. They are made to assist gods. That's why Kai thought of letting Sphinxes answer his questions.
It's a pity that the Sphinx doesn't know anything about the secret of the disappearance of the gods. This is not normal at all. There are only two possibilities for this situation. One is that the gods encountered an unimaginable disaster and the Sphinx
Before Si had time to understand the truth of the matter, the gods fell.
But Kai couldn't imagine what kind of disaster could cause a powerful civilization to disappear in the blink of an eye.
The second possibility is that the gods deliberately concealed the truth of the matter. In Kai's opinion, this possibility is more likely. Because the gods still leave the Sphinx, and even Hades is still functioning, this shows that
Not all the gods fell, otherwise the Sphinx and Hades would not have been spared either.
But what made the gods leave and hide the truth from the Sphinx?
Kai couldn't figure it out.
When Kai wanted to ask again, the Sphinx collapsed, and it seemed that the summoning time had come. Kai thought about continuing to summon, but finally gave up because all Sphinxes were the same.
This sphinx couldn't ask the answer, and the other sphinxes couldn't ask anything either.
"Come out, you are not hiding well." Kai suddenly said to the side of the dune.
After a while, Evelyn, Jonathan and O'Connor all came out embarrassedly.
Seeing the three of them, Kai did not blame them for their recklessness. Kai had a good impression of the three of them. Evelin was simple and kind, Jonathan was clever but also loyal, and O'Connor looked like a prodigal but actually had a strong sense of responsibility.
, and also very brave. These are valuable qualities.
"Is something wrong with you?"
"No!"*2
"have!"
After Jonathan and O'Connor saw Kai's power during the day, they were still in awe of Kai deep down. Especially when they learned from the Sphinx that he was actually the god of desert and war. Although they had always thought that Kai was the god of desert and war.
The god is Seth, but they didn't think the Sphinx would lie about it. So they didn't dare to disturb Kai.
But Evelin was different, she was not afraid of Kai at all. Maybe it was because Kai saved her.
"Well, a knight shouldn't reject a beautiful lady, Miss Evelin, you can ask whatever you want." Kai didn't need to think too much to know that Evelin, who has a strong thirst for knowledge, must have a lot of questions. Kai happened to also want to
Find someone to talk to and relieve your inner depression.
Evelin immediately excitedly ran to Kai's side to finish the work, and then took out a small notebook. It seemed that she planned to write it down for further study. Jonathan and O'Connor looked at each other, and finally followed helplessly.
"Then I asked?"
"Just ask."
"Are you really the God of Desert and War?" Evelin asked her most curious question.
"In a sense, yes." Kai accepted the desert fire gifted by the god Ra, which can be regarded as taking over Seth's priesthood.
"What about Seth?"
"Dead, this is almost the same as in the myth. He launched a rebellion and was finally killed by Horus."
…
That night, Evelin asked a lot of questions, some about the ancient Egyptian gods, some about other aspects. Kai answered most of them, but Kai rarely talked about his own questions. But Kai revealed
The information that came out was enough for Evelin to be ecstatic. This information was almost enough to rewrite the entire Egyptian mythology system.
This will be her future research topic, and Evelin is extremely excited about it. She feels like a historical detective who can pry into the truth deep in history.
Unfortunately, her excitement did not last long and was interrupted by Ah Fu.
The English officer led his people directly to Evelin's tent. In an extremely ungentlemanly and arrogant manner, he made Evelin and the others sign an extremely strict confidentiality agreement. At the same time, her research would also be disclosed.
The British intelligence organization monitors closely, and any results must be handed over to the government. If you want to publish them, you need the government's consent.
Evelyn is a typical liberal scholar. She resents the government's interference in academic research. Unfortunately, her arms can't lift her thighs, so she is unable to resist, so she has to agree. At least the government is willing to fund her research.
Kai didn't know about these things, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. It's normal for the British government to do this. Even when Kai was still working as a police officer, and a dangerous person appeared in his jurisdiction, he would try his best to do so.
It is impossible to know all the information about that person, let alone a country. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is better to be prepared than not.
After that, everyone went on the road immediately. They had to find the scorpion bracelet quickly.
Kai was very unhappy about this. Sphinxes were like this. They never gave the most direct answer, but liked to beat around the bush.
On the way, something happened that made Kai laugh or cry. That was a very fierce conflict between the Bedouins and several people from the Guardian tribe. If Kai hadn't stopped him in time, the two groups would have fought.
.
The cause of the matter is simple, faith.
The Bedouins always believed that Kai was a saint and an apostle of Allah. The Sphinx's words were just nonsense.
But the people of the Guardian tribe don’t think so. They believe that Kai is the god of desert and war, which is certified by the Sphinx. Since the Sphinx appeared and exposed Kai’s identity, the Guardian tribe’s opposition
Kai's attitude took a 180-degree turn. They regarded Kai as a god, the god they believed in.
So the two had a conflict. They started arguing, but neither could convince the other, and it turned into a fight. This is how conflicts generally arise in the world.
In the end, Kai had no choice but to use two completely different excuses to the two groups of people to make the matter go away.
…
In a dark underground cave, a group of soldiers wearing military uniforms, helmets, and gas masks were driving villagers from several nearby villages toward a large pit. In the large pit, countless blood was pouring out.
It was churning, just like a boiling hot pot, with human bones constantly tumbling out of it and then completely melting into the liquid.
Gregory stood on a high platform next to the pit, watching the soldiers throw each villager into the pool of blood.
"Your Excellency Gregory, the Kaiser is already very dissatisfied with your progress." A handsome young man in aristocratic attire stood behind Gregory, looking at the human tragedy happening on the side with disgust. "We
We need you to provide corresponding results, you know, our investment is already large enough."
"Baron von Grossmann, I will give the Kaiser what he wants. As for getting nothing...see? He is our biggest gain." Gregory did not look back, but pointed in the distance.
Immorton stood expressionless in the shadows.
"Imerton...he is indeed the last harvest, but Your Excellency, you know what the Kaiser really wants." Baron von Grossmann looked at Immorton, with fire flashing in his eyes. He naturally knew that Imerton
Morton's value. But this is not enough. He hopes that he can surpass Ludendorff's achievements, but this must produce some more shocking results.
Ludendorff's Viper Commando has achieved a series of victories in Europe, which has greatly tilted the war situation in Germany's favor. This has earned Ludendorff a lot of praise from the upper echelons of the empire. Baron von Grossmann is the one who has tasted the sweetness of the upper echelons of the empire.
Another investment.
No organization can put its eggs in one basket. They have to make a balance. Ludendorff is great, but if all the power is concentrated in his hands, the big guys in Berlin will not be able to sleep.
But if you invest a lot, you must see results, otherwise the big shots won't mind having another person support you.
"Our career has only encountered a slight setback. There is no need to worry, Baron von Grossmann. Soon, we will return home with great honors! For sure!" Gregory looked at the sacrifices of almost a thousand people.
