Ten days later, everyone returned to Cairo. Also following them back were ten Bedouin warriors and fifty Guardian tribe warriors. These ten were the only survivors of the fifty Bedouin warriors, and the others
Everyone 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 thought they should return.
Come to Allah.
Although Kai does not believe in any religion, he still helps them realize their last wishes and gives them last blessings. Kai's last blessings are not based on their scriptures, but are made up by himself. After all, he doesn't know how. But
The soldiers were very satisfied.
As for why they are unwilling to let Kai save them, the reason is very simple. Curing them requires paying 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 cannot be changed. Back then, Kai used the Holy Grail to save Arthur. He was lucky at the time and relied on Golden Finger to resist.
The price was paid. It consumed all of Kai's energy points.
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 other things.
But Kai thought of a way to make peace. Although the price must be paid, the delivery can be postponed. For example, if Kai saved Ah Fu, Ah Fu would pay the price, but he could delay it for decades until Ah Fu died.
After that, the soul returns to the Holy Grail. 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 the issue 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 their survival is that their souls cannot return to Allah.
They are unwilling to be around them. Why should they pay such a price when they can obviously go to heaven immediately?
This is why Kai asked Lao Fu at that time if he could accept such a price. He remembered that Lao Fu's family were all devout Protestant believers. People who believe in God still attach great importance to the ownership of souls, especially in this era.
Faith is much more serious than the Hereafter.
But Lao Fu did not hesitate and immediately accepted the request on Ah Fu's behalf. In the eyes of some people, Lao Fu was a bit too selfish. For example, Catherine, although she is a witch, she is indeed a devout believer. Well, that's it
So magical.
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 this.
But she didn't condemn too much. After all, who can blame an old man for saving his only grandson? This is human nature!
So Ah Fu came back to life. He did not blame his grandfather for his choice. It was not that he did not believe in God, on the contrary, he was still pious, but he was not willing to abandon his grandfather. 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 correct. Individuals have their own choices and cannot force them.
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 the legend of King Arthur's Holy Grail. Now Kai's religious aura is even stronger.
.
This is terrible. He is an unbeliever and yet he is worshiped as a religious figure. It is simply outrageous.
After seeing the Holy Grail, ten Bedouin warriors firmly believed that it was a holy object of Allah and they must protect it. So they vowed to follow Kai. However, Kai privately believed that these Bedouin were completely
Because I failed to die in battle, I want to continue to follow Kai in pursuit of a glorious death in battle. This serious self-destructive tendency is really ***.
On the other hand, the people of the Guardian tribe are much more receptive to the Holy Grail treatment. Kai is a god. Isn’t it normal for their souls to belong to gods? So fifty Guardian warriors who were dying accepted the Holy Grail.
, and vowed to become the guardian of the Holy Grail.
As for the British...unfortunately, except Ah Fu, all the British people were speechless.
…
Returning to Cairo again, no one could recognize that this was the city they had stayed in before. There were traces of gunpowder smoke everywhere, the city still exuded a faint rancid odor, and there were 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 Egyptians, and the various tribes in Egypt. Let’s put it this way, it was not just Cairo.
, almost the entire Egypt was reduced to a pot of porridge in the past two months.
First, various disasters led to food shortages, and food shortages in turn led to intensified conflicts. In order to vent their anger, compete for food, clean water sources, or simply for ambition, people began to kill each other brutally.
In the past two months, no fewer than fifteen riots occurred in Cairo due to food, plague and other issues. This suddenly increased the death toll in Cairo by 30,000 people. As for how many people died in Egypt as a whole, 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.
Kay saw Anna Sui before, but did not realize that 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 3,000 people. So many people were killed that even if the British were blind, it was impossible not to notice them. So the British began to investigate and found out
Anna Sui and the masked man Karl. The masked man appeared next to Baron von Grossmann at some unknown time.
No wonder Kai hasn't seen him since.
After that, Anna Sui left Egypt with the Germans, and her whereabouts have 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 she 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 has changed!
