Chapter 168: Pulling in the Trouble and the Butler
"Devils... shouldn't be. I remember they can't appear on earth in large numbers." Kai remembered that King Bli of Asgard once said that a group of mages have been working to kill these kinds of monsters that can directly threaten mankind.
Creatures that continue the race, and judging from the information Kai received later, this group of mages seemed to have used some other means to prevent demons from entering the earth. They had succeeded before Kai returned to Great Britain.
For example, Catherine's witch weave can only temporarily summon demons to help her attack enemies, and the demons cannot come to the world at all.
Pastor Dalton was silent for a while and then said: "Although I don't know what happened to demons in your time, but in modern times, demons do have ways to appear in the world."
"What method?" Kai asked. He really didn't understand much. Among the spells he had learned, there were very few things related to demons, almost none. Kai did know some of Catherine's methods, but in Kai's opinion
, it is only a temporary borrowing of the devil's power and does not count as summoning the devil.
"Sacrifice! Large-scale living sacrifices performed by demon believers!" Dalton pointed at the photo.
Kai looked over in surprise, and then asked in disbelief: "Are you saying that the appearance of these demons was caused by the Germans making sacrifices to bring them to the earth? Don't they know that demons use humans as their
Food? How can a prey summon a predator to eat itself?"
**********
About five days later, Kay, Catherine, Coatman and his new butler Alfred Sr. set off from London to Egypt on the Nautilus, the most advanced submarine in the world.
On the Nautilus, Kay looked at a pile of information provided by Dalton, but kept complaining about his own indecision. He did not intend to get involved in the war between the British and the Germans at the beginning, but after knowing that the Germans
When he really planned to use those dark creatures to win this war, Kai couldn't help but take action.
There are some things that Kai can indeed ignore. For example, the conflict of interests between the Germans and the British. Although the war between them will harm many people, no matter what, it is still human beings' own business and belongs to the internal contradictions among the people.
In Kay's view, there is no point in talking about who is righteous and who is evil between the Allied Powers and the Central Powers. Neither side is a good thing. So Kay doesn't care who he helps or who he doesn't.
But it's different when monsters like vampires and demons join in. It's a conflict between ourselves and the enemy. Kai can't tolerate those monsters harming humans. This is a natural position.
But despite this, Kai still felt sorry for the British thieves. When they knew that Kai was dissatisfied with the Germans and demons being mixed together, they collected a lot of information about the Germans and those dark creatures in a short period of time.
There is a lot of mixed evidence, especially the information about dark creatures harming ordinary people.
This deeply stimulated Kai, and coupled with Dalton and George V's indignant anger at the side, it really aroused Kai's anger, and Kai accidentally agreed to help them.
Of course, Kai also knew that this was their method, but Kai didn't care. There was always a certain bottom line in life, and the Germans' actions clearly exceeded the bottom line, so Kai didn't mind being used by the British.
"So, there is a reason why Germans like to be regarded as villains." Thinking of this, Kai had to complain.
In Kai's previous life, any film or television drama about World War I and World War II that mentioned Germany must be the villain. Kai once complained about this.
Because in Kay's view, forget about World War II. Germany should be a villain for the many crimes it committed. But it was a bit unjust in the first war. As mentioned above, neither the Entente nor the Allies are good things, and no one should do it.
No matter who you say, it's just that the Germans lost and were defeated as villains.
But now, the Germans are really seeking their own death.
"Your Majesty Duke, would you like to have afternoon tea?" Just as Kai was thinking wildly, Kai's butler knocked on the door and came in.
"Is it afternoon now?" Kai raised his head and looked at his butler, old Alfred, and asked doubtfully. They were currently under the sea, so Kai's sense of time was a bit confused.
"Yes, it's already four o'clock in the afternoon." Old Alfred replied respectfully.
The old butler has always had the same attitude since Kai first met him. He is wearing a dark tuxedo butler's uniform, a white shirt and gloves. He is elegant, rigorous and capable. A typical old-school British court style, fastidious.
Etiquette, details and vanity strictly regulate the butler's professional philosophy and scope of responsibilities in accordance with palace etiquette.
A starched snow-white shirt, a black or white vest, a black bow tie, a black tuxedo, starched black trousers and shiny black leather shoes, and yes, the hair is not messed up and the body is always upright. Almost.
All who have met him will admit that the butler is a gentleman's gentleman.
More gentleman than gentleman, more noble than noble.
This sentence has always been Alfred's motto.
"Yeah..." Kai didn't have any special feelings about afternoon tea, but he didn't refuse it. "By the way, how long until we get to Egypt?"
Although the environment of the Nautilus was not bad, Kai was still a little unbearable after sailing continuously 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 been serving the British royal family for generations. Counting Alfred, the family has been
The fifth generation has been the royal butler. Originally, Alfred was supposed to remain the royal butler until his retirement, and then let his son take over.
But two years ago, his son joined the army. It was okay. The Pennyworth family had a tradition of joining the army. Their family even believed that the training in the army would make them better qualified for the job of housekeepers. But unfortunately,
His son died fighting in France…
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was also because of this blow that Alfred Sr. was depressed for a long time. During this period, Sr. Alfred felt that his condition was not suitable.
He no longer served the King of England, so he retired early. It was not until recently that he accepted the King's entrustment and came out to serve as Kai's steward again.
"I asked Chief Officer Yi Shi that the Nautilus will arrive in Alexandria at nine o'clock in the evening on the 19th. After that, we will take the train directly to Cairo. At about six o'clock in the afternoon on the third day after arriving in Alexandria, we will arrive in Cairo
Stay at the big hotel.”
Some people wonder why Kai ran to Egypt and brought his butler with him.
The reason is very simple, because according to the intelligence of MI6, the Germans are making big moves in Egypt. It is said that they want to use an artifact from ancient Egypt to resurrect an ancient army. The person responsible for this operation is a team that cooperates with the Germans.
A wizard. British intelligence agents also tried to stop it, but all the personnel sent disappeared without exception.
Intelligence showed that this wizard possessed extremely powerful supernatural abilities, so the matter was assigned to the Templar Church led by Dalton. Except for Mina, because the Vampire Queen didn't like the Egyptian environment very much.
Dalton, who received the report of the incident, took it very seriously, so he asked Kai to lead the former tomb exploration team to deal with it.
As for why old Alfred was brought along... the reason is very simple, because Alfred is not just a simple butler. As a family that has served the British royal family for five generations, the Pennyworth family has long been
They are no longer ordinary housekeepers. In addition to their duties as housekeepers, they are 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 means of transportation, etc.
It can be said that any butler from the Pennyworth family can easily serve as an MI6 agent. Why wouldn't Kai take such an awesome person with him?
