Chapter Four Hundred and Nine: Distant Times

This loud noise immediately attracted the attention of Diana and Catherine.

"No! That's an oil painting from the seventeenth century!" Diana immediately covered her forehead after seeing what Kai had done.

Kai smiled awkwardly. He didn't know what the artistic value of that ugly-looking oil painting was, but judging from the age, he knew it was worth a lot of money.

"I will lose money."

"This is not a matter of losing money at all, it is history! Do you know history?" Diana knew from before that Kai had never been interested in things like artwork. But she really didn't expect Kai to be so ignorant. This thing is

Can money be measured?

Kai still doesn't care much, I know, history, who doesn't know it yet.

"How about I give you my gold cup from the ancient Celtic period?"

Catherine, who originally didn't care much about it, kept beating up the idiot with the mechanical arm. Kai knocked Eggsy unconscious, but she didn't care. Judging from Diana's posture, these two people should know each other. Since they are acquaintances, it will be fine.

.

Eggsy:???

There is nothing wrong with young people beating each other up. Catherine didn't like Eggsy's frivolity.

But when she heard the words "ancient Celtic", Catherine was immediately stunned. She turned her head and looked at Kai.

At this time, Kai saw Catherine's appearance clearly. He was also stunned.

"Catherine...?" Kai asked uncertainly. It's really not that Kai has forgotten Catherine. After all, for him, he hasn't been away for long at all. Counting the five years on the Lost Plateau, Kai now feels that he is nothing more than

He had been gone for more than ten years, which was not a long time. He really didn't expect that Catherine was still alive.

"Who are you……"

Kai's appearance has changed drastically. Let alone Catherine, it was only Kai who told Diana that she was sure. So Catherine didn't dare to confirm whether the person in front of her was the person she thought, but she didn't know why.

But she always felt that this was him!

Kai laughed and met another familiar person.

"It's me!" Kai opened his hands to let Catherine see clearly.

"Is it really you, Your Majesty the Duke?" Catherine felt her eyes heat up. She had never understood what it felt like to be moved before, but now she felt she understood.

"It's me!" Kai confirmed again.

Then Catherine rushed into Kai's arms like a baby duck throwing herself into the forest. Kai didn't think much and hugged Catherine. After all, Catherine was his personal maid at the time. Although they only got along with each other for a few years, in those years, Kai

Catherine takes care of most of the things around her, and she is the closest person to her besides the housekeeper Ah Fu.

Only Diana was pouting over there.

They are all old foxes, and no one knows who is who. Diana didn’t believe it. After so many years, Catherine was still the same little girl. Only men would wishfully think that a woman who is more than a hundred years old is still the same as a ten-year-old woman.

No matter how old you are, you are as innocent as ever.

Just when they were happily meeting each other here, the man with the mechanical arm who had been beaten half to death finally seized the opportunity, and suddenly a prototype ball was ejected from his mechanical palm.

bump!

The strong light and smoke suddenly obscured everyone's work. Even Kai and Catherine closed their eyes subconsciously. When they reacted, they saw the guy flicking his palm out like a hook.

Captured an aircraft and escaped.

According to Kai's character, it would be impossible to let that bastard go so easily. Don't forget, he is nominally responsible for the security of this exhibition! Don't talk about punishment or not, now the Chicago Police Department is almost going to

Kai made a confession, so he was punished. The problem was that he couldn't live with it in terms of face.

But at this moment, Kai had no intention of chasing after him. After all, it was a happy thing to finally see an old friend. Of course, Kai had no interest in chasing after this kind of trash fish.



Eggsy was very depressed. He felt so embarrassed.

He originally planned to perform well in front of his idol, but was knocked down by a policeman. This made Eggsy very doubtful whether the training he had undergone was real, especially since he had suffered so much and experienced so much.

Dangerous, he was still knocked down by a Chicago police officer with one move...

Just thinking about it makes me feel depressed.

So Eggsy has made up his mind to fight that cop again when he has time!

Thinking about all this, Eggsy rubbed his neck and looked at the four people talking and laughing over there.

Kay, Catherine, Diana and Kelly.

Kelly's classmates were frightened. Kelly was also ready to help, but when she saw that her classmates were so scared that their legs were weak, she was too embarrassed to leave them alone. In addition, Diana had taught

She didn't want to act too strange in front of outsiders, so she could only follow the crowd and leave the venue.

As a result, she missed the good show. Kelly was very sorry about this, so after Kai came out of the venue with a dozen masked gangsters, she kept pestering Kai and Diana to tell them what happened inside.

Of course, Kelly was also very interested in Catherine's existence because she actually felt the same kind of aura from this woman.

Catherine felt the same way. So the two started chatting, and unexpectedly discovered that although the so-called "similarity" was an illusion, one of them belonged to the bloodline of the three-phase goddess, the ancient Celtic god bloodline, and the other was completely foreign.

Although they have biological blood, their temperaments are surprisingly in harmony with each other.

Kelly was both afraid and respectful of Diana, but had a natural affinity for Catherine.

And Katherine loves that Kelly is immune to her damn charm.

The two had a lively chat, but ignored Diana. This made Diana very unhappy, but she was too embarrassed to say anything. She just made up her mind to train Kelly well.

As they talked, Catherine finally brought the topic to Kingsman.

"Seriously, you really don't plan to go back to the UK? After all, Kingsman was founded. If you go back, Ah Fu will be very happy. He has always believed that he is guarding the industry for you." Catherine said so

.

Kai shook his head.

"The founding of Kingsman was an accident. You know this very well. After all, you were involved in the whole process. I didn't think about setting up an organization at the time. It was too tiring and I didn't like it." Kai himself said

He has no intention of power, otherwise he would not be just a small policeman now. When Kingsman was founded, it was just the last contribution to society by those aristocratic families who had lost their descendants. Kai did not think about this organization at that time.

It will exist for a long time. "And I heard from you that they have developed very well in these years without me. So what difference does it make if I go back or not?"

"But Kingsman's development depends on the Holy Grail you left behind. They all accepted the Holy Grail, which is equivalent to giving their souls to you. You are their master, and this cannot be changed." Catherine naturally

You know what the Holy Grail of Life is. After all, she has the blood of the Three-phase Goddess in her body, which is of the same origin as the Holy Grail of Life. Although the Holy Grail is magical, it is essentially an artifact of equal exchange. It does not give anything by itself, only

What will be traded? After gaining strength, the soul will be traded, and then the soul will return to the Holy Grail and become a part of the Holy Grail. In a sense, those who accept the Holy Grail are actually using their own things.

"And...Afu has been waiting for you to come back."

Catherine also had to admire Alfred. In fact, he had never worked as a housekeeper for Kai for a day. Before Kai disappeared, his housekeeper was Alfred's grandfather, Alfred Sr. But Alfred happened to be in the care of old Alfred.

After Fred's death, he took on the responsibility of housekeeper and managed Kay's property in the UK in an orderly manner over the years.

For example, St. James's Palace, which nominally belongs to the royal family, but actually has Kay's name on the title deed, and the many companies that Lao Fu bought at bargain hunting. Those companies were originally placed under Kingsman's umbrella by Kay, but later Kingsman left.

After getting on the right track, Afu divested those companies and made them the private property of Kai again.

Of course, few people know about these things. Afu used a fake noble family to register a company to manage these industries. Now this company has developed into an extremely large group, but not much is known about it, and it is very low-key.

.

"Afu...that kid is actually still alive." Kai was very emotional. He originally thought that all his former friends had passed away with the passage of time. Unexpectedly, he was surprised one after another. "I still remember the first time I saw that boy.

When he was a kid, the down on his mouth hadn't even faded away. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would become an old man."

Kai likes Ah Fu very much, partly because of Lao Fu, who is a typical British gentleman, old-fashioned but loyal to his duties. Ah Fu has also inherited this aspect of Lao Fu very well.

"Those industries are all good, and they didn't cost much at first. As for Ah Fu...didn't you say he retired? You can let him come to the United States, whether it's retirement or vacation, he can come to me.

.”

"Looking for you, do you think Ah Fu hasn't looked for you? Since the resurrection of the Holy Grail, Ah Fu has mobilized all the power he can use, but in the end he still can't find you." Catherine said with a dissatisfied look at Diana. "Humph.

, like some people, they obviously found you but didn’t say a word, who knows what they have in mind.”

Diana raised her brows. She felt that Catherine had become more arrogant after not seeing her in these years. Does this mean that she, Diana, couldn't carry the knife?

Kai hurriedly held Diana's arm and asked her to restrain herself. They hadn't seen each other for many years, so there was no reason for them to be unhappy when they met.

Seeing Kai's actions, Catherine was very proud. After all, it seemed that Kai was still on her side.

Diana became even more angry.

Fortunately, at this time, Kelly stepped forward to help.

"What are you...what are you talking about?" No matter how stupid Kelly is, he can tell that something is wrong. What does it mean that "when I first met him, he was a child and now he is an old man"?

Catherine turned back to look at Kai: "Have you never told her this?"

Kai shook his head helplessly: "There's nothing to say. In fact, I don't know many things. How can I say this? Should I tell him from the beginning that I am a person who has lived for tens of thousands of years?"

"What, what, tens of thousands of years? What do you mean?" Kelly became even more confused.

Catherine looked at Kelly, then at Kai, and finally asked, "Can you tell me?"

"There's nothing that can't be said. It's more appropriate for you to say it than for me to say it." If Kai were to tell Kelly that he was a prehistoric man, I'm sure Kelly wouldn't believe it. That's ridiculous. But if a third party were to tell her, it wouldn't be possible.

On the contrary, the reliability will be higher.

So Catherine told how they found Kai from the tomb, how they followed Kai to fight mummies in Egypt, fight vampires in Serbia, and finally fight the Germans.

Kelly didn't believe it at first. The same sentence was too ridiculous. But with Catherine repeating it and Diana testifying, it didn't look like nonsense.

And those stories were so interesting that Kelly listened with rapt attention.

"Are there really mummies? Why haven't any been found in modern times?"

"How do I know?" Kai really doesn't know why modern people find mummies and maybe... hide them?

“Is there really a Sphinx?”

"Yes, they should actually be considered a type of robot." Kai explained: "They are a kind of machine created by the Egyptian gods to assist themselves, but they are very different from modern technology."

"So have you really met the Egyptian gods?"

"I've seen it."

"What do they look like?"

"Much taller than humans, with an average height of about three meters, and good-looking. As for strength, well, let's put it this way, any little god in Egypt can beat you to the ground."

"Then the Book of the Dead and the Book of the Sun are still in your hands?"

"exist."

"Then why have you never used it?"

"Didn't I say that after my strength is greatly damaged, many things cannot be used." Before Kai's strength recovers to a certain level, many of his things cannot be used, such as the artifacts in his treasure house and the King's Treasure.

, even Kai now can't use the King's Treasure as he wishes, because it requires too much mental power.

"So are you really an ancient Celtic? A contemporary of King Arthur?"

"Yes, Arthur wants to call me brother." Actually, I should call me brother-in-law, but there is no need to say this kind of thing.

"In other words, the prototype of the King of Knights we have been talking about is also you?"

"I don't know how it came to be like this. Anyway, I have never been a king."



In short, at the end, Kelly directly transformed into a hundred thousand whys and kept asking questions. Kay also answered patiently, many of which even Diana and Catherine did not know. For example, the prehistoric era where Kay once lived, before, Kay only talked to them

I mentioned a few things briefly, but not much detail.

Anyway, in the end, Kelly felt that his outlook on life was shaky. It turned out that tens of thousands of years ago, the world was full of brilliant civilizations. Many civilizations were even more science fiction than modern times. For example, the Egyptian civilization was able to create intelligent machines to help

They come to get the job done.

It turns out that the legend of King Arthur is true, and there really is a kingdom called Camelot.
