"Demons... shouldn't be. I remember that they can't appear on Earth on a large scale. Kai remembered that King Buri of Asgard once said that a group of wizards had been committed to strangling this kind of creature that could directly threaten the continuation of the human race. And from the intelligence Kai got later, this group of wizards seemed to have used some other means to isolate the demons from entering the earth. Before Kai returned to Great Britain, they had succeeded.
For example, Catherine's witch weaving can only summon demons for a short time to help her attack the enemy, and demons can't come to the world at all.
Pastor Dalton was silent for a while before saying: "Although I don't know what demons are in your time, in modern times, demons do have a way to appear in the world."
"What method?" Kai asked. He really didn't understand much. There were very few demon-related things in the spells he had learned. Kai did know a little about Catherine's way, but in Kai's opinion, it was just a short-term borrowing of the power of demons, not summoning demons.
"Sacrifice! A large-scale living sacrifice held by demon believers! "Dalton pointed at the photo.
Kai looked over in surprise, then asked in disbelief: "Are you saying that the appearance of these demons was caused by the Germans' own sacrifices to bring them to Earth? Don't they know that demons feed on humans? How can prey summon hunters to eat themselves? "
About five days later, Kai, Catherine, Courtman and his new butler, Alfred, boarded the world's most advanced submarine, the Nautilus, and set off from London to Egypt.
On the Nautilus, Kai looked at a pile of information provided by Dalton, but he kept complaining about his own indecision. He did not intend to get involved in the war between the British and Germans at first, but when he knew that the Germans actually intended to use those dark creatures to win the war, Kai could not help but take action.
There are some things that Kai can ignore. For example, the conflict of interests between the Germans and the British. Although the war between them will harm many people, it is human affairs anyway, and it belongs to the internal contradictions of the people.
In Kai's view, there is no question of who is just and who is evil between the Allies and the Central Powers. Both sides are not good things. So Kai doesn't care who to help or not.
But those vampires, demons, It would be different if monsters of this kind joined in, that would be an enemy-enemy contradiction. Kai could not tolerate those monsters harming humans, this was his natural position.
However, despite this, Kai still felt that the British were cunning. When they knew that Kai was dissatisfied with the Germans and the devils, they collected a lot of evidence about the Germans and those dark creatures mixing together in a very short time, especially the intelligence of those dark creatures harming ordinary people, which was even more exposed.
This deeply stimulated Kai, and with Dalton and George V's indignant indignation, Kai's anger was really stirred, and Kai agreed to help them without paying attention. →
Of course, Kai also knew that this was their method, but Kai didn't care. There must be a bottom line in life, and the Germans' actions obviously exceeded the bottom line, so Kai didn't mind being used by the British.
"So, there is really a reason why the Germans like to be treated as villains. "Thinking of this, Kai had to complain.
In Kai's previous life, any TV drama about World War I and World War II, as long as Germany was mentioned, must be a villain. Kai once complained about this.
Because in Kai's view, World War II is fine, Germany has committed many crimes, and it is right to be a villain. But World War I was a bit unfair. As mentioned above, the Allies and the Central Powers are not good things, no one should say anything about each other, but it was just that the Germans lost, so they were regarded as villains.
But now, the Germans are really asking for their own death.
"Duke, do you want afternoon tea?" Just when Kai was thinking about it, Kai's butler knocked on the door.
"Is it afternoon now?" Kai raised his head and looked at his butler, Old Alfred, and said puzzledly. They are now under the sea, so Kai's sense of time is a bit confused.
"Yes, it's four o'clock in the afternoon now. "Old Alfred replied respectfully.
The old butler always had the same posture since Kai first met him, wearing a dark swallowtail butler suit, a snow-white shirt and gloves, with elegant manners, rigorous and capable. A typical old-school British court style, paying attention to etiquette, details and vanity, and strictly regulating the butler's professional philosophy and scope of responsibilities in accordance with court etiquette.
A washed snow-white shirt, a black or white vest, a black bow tie, a black swallowtail coat, straight black trousers and shiny black leather shoes, yes, a neat hair and a straight body forever. Almost everyone who has seen him will admit that this butler is a gentleman among gentlemen.
More gentleman than a gentleman, more noble than a noble.
This sentence has always been Alfred's motto.
"Really..." Kai didn't have any special feelings about afternoon tea, but he didn't refuse. "By the way, how long will it take us to Egypt?"
Although the environment of the Nautilus was not bad, Kai was still a little bit overwhelmed by sailing for more than half a month.
Old Alfred's full name is Alfred Pennyworth. He was introduced to Kay by George V. The old man's family has served the British royal family for generations. Counting Alfred, the family has been the royal butler for five generations. Originally, Alfred should have retired as the royal butler and let his son take over.
But two years ago, his son joined the army. This is nothing. The Pennyworth family has a tradition of joining the army. Their family even believes that the training of the army can make them better qualified for the job of butler. But unfortunately, his son died in France...
It was also because of this blow that Alfred was depressed for a long time. During this period, Alfred thought that his condition was not suitable for serving the King of England, so he retired early. Until recently, he accepted the King of England's commission and came out again to serve as Kay's butler.
"I asked First Officer Yi Shi, the Nautilus will arrive at Alexandria at 9pm on the 19th. After that, we will take the train directly to Cairo. We will stay at the Cairo Hotel at about 6pm on the third day after arriving in Alexandria."
Some people wondered why Kai went to Egypt and brought his butler with him.
The reason is simple, because according to intelligence from MI6, the Germans have made a big move in Egypt. It is said that they want to use an artifact from ancient Egypt to revive an ancient army. The person in charge of this operation is a wizard who cooperated with the Germans. British intelligence personnel also tried to stop it, but all the personnel sent disappeared without exception.
Intelligence shows that this wizard has extremely powerful supernatural powers, so this matter was assigned to the Holy Church led by Dalton.
Dalton, who received the incident report, attached great importance to it, so he asked Kai to take the former tomb exploration team to deal with it.
As for why they brought old Alfred along... the reason was simple, because Alfred was not just a simple butler. As a family that had served the British royal family for five generations, the Pennyworth family was no longer an ordinary butler. In addition to their duties as butlers, they were also proficient in, but not limited to, intelligence collection and organization, guarding, hand-to-hand combat, the use and maintenance of various firearms, driving various vehicles, etc.
It can be said that any butler from the Pennyworth family could easily be an agent of MI6. What reason did Kai have not to bring such a great man along?
