Chapter 164: Not Checked Yet
"But you are British! Now the country needs you!" George V has obviously not broken away from the legend. In the minds of most British people, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table are British, and even in many legends In the story, Arthur is also the hero of the Anglo-Saxons against the Roman invasion. I have seen a movie before, it is about Arthur fighting against the Roman rule)
George V's words stunned Kai for a moment, and then he laughed. "Your Majesty the King, if you would say something like this, it means you must not have studied carefully."
Kay pointed at George V and said: "You are an Anglo-Saxon, and I am a Celt! If strictly speaking, you and your country are the invaders in my eyes. On the contrary, you We are related to the Germans.”
These are what Kay saw from a book that researched the era of King Arthur. The book inferred that King Arthur lived in about 500 AD. In this book, the historical background of Arthur's era is described in great detail.
Although most of the inferences are nonsense, some things are indeed interesting. For example, Great Britain was actually occupied by foreigners, first the Romans, and then after the Romans left. In the early 5th century, after the Romans evacuated, people living in Germanic tribes such as the Anglo-Saxons from near the mouth of the Elbe River in Germany and southern Denmark and the Jutes from the lower Rhine came to Britain.
Simply put, the Celtics, as indigenous people, are a doormat. Modern British people have two major ethnic origins: Germans and Celts. The former are the conquerors and the latter are the conquered. →
This discovery made Kai extremely unhappy. Although Kai had always been Chinese at heart, he had been a Celtic for ten or twenty years. So I still feel unhappy that my Celtic junior is so weak.
After hearing Kay's words, George V was like a chicken that was grabbed by the neck, and he was suddenly speechless. He was a king, not a historian, so it was naturally impossible for him to know that King Arthur was a Celt. He just followed his own custom and persuaded Kai to join their camp.
But now he realized that he seemed to have made something wrong. What he needs to worry about now is not that Kaijia will not join the United Kingdom. Instead, he needs to worry about whether Kaijia will get together with the Scottish separatists and let Scotland split from the United Kingdom. In terms of blood relationship, Kai is undoubtedly closer to Scotland.
You must know that Scotland was not merged into the Kingdom of Great Britain by the Kingdom of England until 1707, and separatist sentiment there has always been strong.
"What if we are fighting for the future of mankind?" At this time, Pastor Dalton, as the king's advisor and teacher, spoke at the right time.
"Tsk..." Kai didn't believe such rhetoric at all. The war between the British and the Germans was essentially two countries fighting for their own interests. They wanted to seize world hegemony. But the question is, does this have anything to do with the future of mankind?
Seeing Kai's disdainful look, Dalton frowned. He has always been relatively simple and easy to fool. Especially since Kai is a knight. In Dalton's impression, knights are the kind of reckless men who are not very smart, but he didn't expect that the Kai in front of him was very sober from beginning to end.
"I know that you are not interested in the war that is going on now. Indeed, this war started out because of the interest dispute between us and the Germans. The Germans wanted to redraw their spheres of influence and wanted more colonies. , and these indeed have nothing to do with you, but what if this war has deviated from its original trajectory?"
Dalton did not lie. The Germans were desperate to win the war.
"What do you mean?" Kai asked. He heard from Dalton's words that the battle in this world seemed to be a little different from the battle in Kaiyuan time and space.
"The Germans are crazy. In order to win the war, they actually started to cooperate with the dark creatures on the European continent. Werewolves, vampires, wizards, and devil worshipers, these original scourges in the darkness, with the support of the Germans, have begun to Europe has appeared openly. We have received information that in order to let these monsters help them, the Germans are even willing to carve out a territory in Europe so that these monsters can appear openly!"
At this point, Pastor Dalton's attitude immediately became intense.
"The Germans are endangering the future of mankind. Those monsters have been suppressed in dark corners. Once they appear in front of the world, the disaster they will cause is absolutely immeasurable! I do not ask you to fight for the interests of the British Empire. , but we ask you to fight for the benefit of mankind!”
These words were said with awe-inspiring justice, and although Kai seemed not to care about anything, he was still quite nationalistic in his heart, otherwise he would not have been obsessed with his motherland until now. This is true even for the attitude towards the nation, let alone the issue between human beings and alien races. This is a natural attitude.
However, Kai did not immediately agree to Dalton. After all, the British were famous as troublemakers in history, and there were not too many countries and people who were deceived by them. So Kay is wary of Dalton's rhetoric. (The British may not be very good at other things. They are absolutely first-class at digging holes and burying people, harming others and not benefiting themselves. India, Pakistan, and even China)
So Kai didn't want the topic to be grasped by Dalton, so he led the topic to other places.
First, Kai hopes to buy the manor above the mausoleum from the royal family. Kai knew very well that he was placed in Saigon's former tomb while he was sleeping. The top of the mausoleum is the former site of Camelot, so Kai hopes to buy all the land above the mausoleum.
George V was very hesitant about Kay's request. The reason is obvious. They are still thinking about the vast wealth in the tomb. If George V sold the manor and surrounding land to Kay, then they would have nothing to do with the wealth.
Dalton was the same, so they were always hesitant about Kai's request to buy the land. They said that they could buy it or not, as long as Kai wanted to live there, he could live there forever. Talking about money hurts feelings.
To put it bluntly, they just want to keep their property rights, because according to British law, the land owner owns the land below the 800 meters, and Kay's mausoleum is also within this range. In other words, legally these wealth belong to the royal family, because the property rights of the manor are in the hands of the royal family.
To put it bluntly, if the royal family really intends to pocket that wealth, Kay will not be able to win the lawsuit, because according to the current British law, Kay has no proof that the wealth is his, because he does not even have a land certificate. …
Of course, it is impossible for the royal family to really do this, because it is impossible. Putting aside Kai's demonstrated strength, even if they could capture Kai, they still wouldn't be able to enter the mausoleum. Otherwise, the tombs would have been cleared away twenty years ago. How could we have waited until now?
As for why they succeeded this time... it wasn't because of Diana, a fierce woman. If it weren't for this Amazon female warrior, Steve and the others wouldn't have been able to enter the tomb.
In fact, just when Kay and others came to London, the royal family and Dalton secretly sent people to enter the mausoleum again. As a result, they sadly discovered that even with Kathleen's detailed report, they were still wiped out.
They were very suspicious that Kai had done something to the mausoleum during the week after he woke up.
Well, they were right to suspect it.
Kai did do something. The tomb has gone through thousands of years. Although many trap magics are still functioning, in fact most of the magic traps have become ineffective. The power of time is always greater than anything else.
So Kai took some time to rearrange those things and restore the tomb's defensive power to its heyday. Kai did this not because he was afraid that someone would touch the wealth inside, because a huge part of the wealth in the mausoleum had already been collected by Kai into the prince's treasury, and he carried it with him. What's wrong with him?
The reason why Kai did this is simple, because this mausoleum may be the last link between Kai and that era. Naturally, he would not allow anyone to destroy it.
