Chapter 188: Balance (Please Collect and Recommend)

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 stretched out 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!"

"What happened?"

"Insufficient information..."

The Sphinx is the patron saint, and the scope of this protection is very broad. He is the guardian of the dead, 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 patron saint of living people. To put it bluntly, he is the kind of versatile snake oil.

Sphinxes are somewhat like intelligent robots, created to assist the gods. That's why Kai thought of letting the Sphinx answer his question.

Unfortunately, the Sphinx knows nothing 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 fell before the Sphinx had time to understand the truth of the matter.

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. This may be more likely in Kai's opinion. Because the gods still leave the Sphinx, and even Hades is still functioning, this shows that not all the gods have fallen, otherwise the Sphinx and Hades would not be spared.

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. He couldn't get the answer from the mouth of this sphinx, and it was impossible for other sphinxes to ask. What.

"Come out, you are not hiding well." Kai suddenly said to the side of the dune.

After a while, Evelin, Jonathan and O'Connor all came out embarrassedly.

Seeing the trio, Kai didn't blame them for their recklessness. Kai had a good impression of the three of them. Evelyn is simple and kind, Jonathan is clever but loyal, and O'Connor looks like a prodigal but actually has a strong sense of responsibility and is very brave. These are all valuable qualities.

"Is something wrong with you?"

"No!"*2

"have!"

After Jonathan and O'Connor witnessed Kai's power during the day, they were still in awe of Kai deep down. Especially when we learned from the Sphinx that he was actually the god of desert and war. Although they always thought that the god of desert and war was Set, they did not think that the Sphinx would lie about this. So they didn't dare to disturb Kai.

But Evelin was different, she wasn't afraid of Kai at all. Maybe it's 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 had a strong thirst for knowledge, must have a lot of questions. →Kai happened to also want to talk to someone to relieve his inner depression.

Evelin immediately ran excitedly to Kai's side to prepare, and then took out a small notebook. It seems that she intends to write it down and study it carefully. Jonathan and O'Connor looked at each other, and finally followed helplessly.

"Then I asked?"

"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 was regarded as taking over Seth's priesthood.

"What about Seth?"

"Dead, this is similar to 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, and some about other aspects. Kai answered most of them, but he rarely talked about his own questions. But the information Kai revealed was enough for Evelin to be ecstatic. This information is 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 men directly to Evelin's tent, and in an extremely ungentlemanly and arrogant manner, made Evelin and the others sign an extremely strict confidentiality agreement. At the same time, her research will be closely monitored by British intelligence organizations, and any results must be handed over to the government. If she wants to publish them, she also needs the government's consent.

Evelyn is a typical liberal scholar who resents government interference in academic research. Unfortunately, her arms couldn't hold her thighs, so she couldn't resist, so she had to agree. At least the government was willing to fund her research.

Kai didn't know about these things, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care about them. It is completely 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 know all the information about that person, let alone a country. Regardless of whether it works or not, it is better to be prepared than unprepared.

After that, everyone was 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 each other. .

The cause of the matter is simple, faith.

Bedouin people always believe that Kai is a saint and an apostle of Allah. What the Sphinx said was 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. Ever since the Sphinx appeared and revealed Kai's identity, the Guardian Tribe's attitude towards Kai has taken a 180-degree turn. They regard Kai as a god, a god they believe in.

So the two had a conflict. They started arguing, but neither could convince the other, and it turned into a fight. Contradictions in the world generally arise in this way.

In the end, Kai had no choice but to talk to Xini and use two completely different excuses to the two groups to make this 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 churning, just like a boiling hot pot. Human bones were constantly tumbling out of it, and then completely melted into the liquid.

Gregory stood on a high platform next to the pit and watched 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 on his face. "We need you to deliver results, you know, our investment is already big enough."

"Baron von Grossmann, I will give the Kaiser what he wants. As for gaining nothing...see? He is our biggest gain." Gregory did not look back, but pointed in the distance. Immorton stood expressionless in the shadows.

"Immoton...he is indeed the last harvest, but Your Excellency, you know what the Kaiser really wants." Baron von Grossmann looked at Immoton, with fire flashing in his eyes. He naturally knew that Immoton 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 Commandos had achieved a series of victories in Europe, greatly tilting the war situation in Germany's favour. This earned Ludendorff many accolades from the upper echelons of the empire. Baron von Grossmann was another investment made by the upper class of the empire after they had tasted the sweetness.

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 a large amount of investment must see results, otherwise the big shots won't mind another person supporting it.

"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. Xuechi was filled with confidence.
