Is the greatest sorrow in the world to have money but lose your life?
no.
Did you leave a lot of money at the end of your life?
Neither.
The greatest sorrow is knowing where the golden mountain is, but being unable to save it. Sleeping again and again, enduring the pain, holding it in your heart and not daring to get it.
Dambala, the god of voodoo, is such an existence. He was cursed due to betrayal. He lost his body due to the curse, leaving only his soul. Only the crystal tree core buried under the ground in Jerusalem can reshape his body and free him from pain.
For tens of thousands of years, Dambala was definitely the most qualified guardian of Jerusalem and the most devout believer. He never wanted to return to the Holy Land. What was the result?
He took refuge in the Golden Gods, but the Golden Gods did not trust Him and were always wary of Him.
So he took refuge in the Odin pantheon again, and Odin imprisoned him under the church in Cairo. It was not until the arrival of the Apocalypse pantheon that he could take a breather, but he was still under strict surveillance.
Worse than a dog.
When Saladin recaptured Jerusalem, Dambala was sleeping. When he woke up, he lost the holy city that he had coveted for a long time.
So he resurrected Saladin in anger, asking Saladin to recapture Jerusalem again and fulfill his wish.
Mawei didn't know whether Saladin could do it, but Dambala's purpose was definitely exposed.
"You want me to dig up the real Jerusalem and sweep away the crystal tree core inside?"
"Yes." Baji said with a thief smile: "I would rather give these tree cores to you than let them fall into the hands of Dambala."
Traitors are often more hateful than enemies.
Jerusalem is in the Eastern Continent and is not under the control of the Romanov Kingdom. The area is complex and divided by the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny, the Church of Wisdom, the Church of Abundance and other large churches. If you want to sneak in and dig out the treasures buried underground,
Just relying on brute force is not enough, you have to be smart.
Ma Wei thought of someone.
Alberts.
He was a believer in the Monastic Church. Because of the Reform Act, he was forced to flee to the Romanov Kingdom and eventually joined the Church of Truth.
The god of the Hermitage Church, Ger, also dedicated his divinity to Junia and became an extraordinary being who needed the nourishment of Junia's power.
Alberts comes from the Qajar Kingdom, which borders the Alawi Kingdom and is very close to Jerusalem. They are also Semites.
Alberts, who comes from the Qajar Kingdom, has a high probability of going on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. If so...
Maybe you can ask him for help.
He must be familiar with the situation in Jerusalem.
Of course, the guides found from outside are not as trustworthy as their own people. Ma Wei decided to leave for Jerusalem in person, and he had to go.
Without Bajji, they would not be able to open the true Holy Land, and Bajji could only rely on Maavi, which resulted in Mavi having to go to Jerusalem in person.
As Prime Minister, Mavey's every move is watched by others. After the last incident in Paris, it will not be easy for him to leave the Kingdom of Windsor.
"Brother, you can't leave!" Levin said: "The church will not allow you to leave! They are afraid that you will be captured by other gods!"
"You can find someone to take my place for a while."
Ma Wei pondered: "We won't be there for long this time, half a month at most, as long as we don't reveal our secrets."
After much thought, Mavey decided to let Gawain disguise himself as him, and then let Kovalev transform into Yunia.
Gawain and him have exchanged identities many times, and they are familiar with each other's way of speaking. It is not difficult to disguise, but Kovalev has a slightly more difficult time. After all, he has to dress up as a little girl. Fortunately, Yunia rarely speaks to strangers.
, just don’t speak.
The key is Levine.
He has more than one identity.
In addition to his identity as Felix von Manstein, he is also the demon hunter Leon Angel. Last time the Doomsday Party attacked the demon hunter headquarters, he performed well and attracted the attention of the Pope. Not only was he promoted to deputy captain
, and also received a salary increase, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise.
"We can let Gina dress up as Leon Angel." Levin thought for a while and said, "As for me, I can just find a member of the Aurora Society to pretend to be, and then say hello to Helena."
Since the death of the eldest prince, Levin has not been so popular. Although the Conservative Party will still invite him to dinners, the times are not so frequent. He has a lot of free time. Currently, he has shifted his focus to the work of the witcher and is determined to
Break into the upper echelons of the Witcher.
Seeing that Levin had made arrangements, Mavey nodded: "Do you want to take Jonas with you to Jerusalem this time?"
"Um...."
Levin thought seriously: "It's not necessary...but it's not good not to take him..."
"Take him with you. One more person is not too much, and one person less is not too much."
Arriving on the second floor, Mawei opened the darkroom of the study, opened the Council of the Gods, and informed Dino of his plan to go to Jerusalem.
"I need Alberts as a guide to meet us in Baghdad, the capital of the Kingdom of Alawi. In addition, I also need the currency and transportation lines of the Kingdom of Alawi..."
Recording Mavi's request, Dino asked: "What do you want to do?"
"Head to Jerusalem to find the treasure Baki buried underground."
Dino was surprised: "There is a treasure in Jerusalem? Why didn't I know?"
"The Jerusalem you see was rebuilt by later generations. The real Jerusalem is underground, sleeping together with the treasure." Ma Wei said: "After finding the treasure, I need a team to dig regularly without arousing suspicion. We are near Jerusalem.
Is there anyone available?"
"have."
Dino replied without hesitation: "My son Adams established the Adams Chamber of Commerce in Cairo, which is the transfer station of the Church of Truth. You asked me to lay out around the Eastern Continent and Southern Continent, and I arranged for a lot of people."
"Very well, don't tell Saladin about this, let alone leak it to the Witch God Cult. Their god, Dambala, has always wanted to enter the Holy Land of Jerusalem and steal the treasures there."
"Understood." Dino flipped through the list: "When will you leave?"
"tomorrow!"

The next day, the sun was warm.
In the eastern suburbs of London, a steam airship slowly floated into the sky, escaped into the clouds, and flew toward the southeast.
A wealthy man chartered an airship and changed the original destination of Berlin to the Kingdom of Alawi. It is said that this flight alone cost thousands of gold pounds.
While people were speculating about who this rich man was, the airship had already left the borders of the Kingdom of Windsor.
At the same time, in distant Mosk, a giant white wolf carried a masked young man out of the city and ran due south.
Three days later, Baghdad.
As the capital of the Alawi Kingdom, Baghdad is far more prosperous than the Mawis imagined.
Surrounded by desert, a yellow sand city looms in the dust. If you listen carefully, you can hear the clear ringing of camel bells. Camel caravans come from all directions, like ants returning to their nest.
"It's not as luxurious as New Ross City..."
Looking at the thousand-year-old city below built with yellow sand and stones, Levin curled his lips and said: "It's obviously the capital, but I don't know if the construction is better."
"This is what the Alawi Kingdom is like." Mawi took a deep breath: "Tens of thousands of years ago, this may have been the center of the world, but now it is in the middle of the desert. It is good to have a city, not to mention that the Alawi Kingdom is not rich.
How can the capital, other places, or tribes be so wealthy?"
Licking his dry lips, Levin took out a silver flask and took a sip. The air here was too dry, which always made people unbearably thirsty.
The Germanic faces were too eye-catching, so before setting off, Mawei disguised them as Arab faces, with hooked noses, deep eye sockets, high nose bridges, dark faces, and eyes as brown and black as amber.
...
"Surround this!"
Daniel threw a long gray scarf to Levin and asked him to cover his face below the eyes. Then he put on a turban hat unique to the Semites and a robe. This combination was so complete that even his own mother recognized it.
Not coming out.
It has entered winter in the Kingdom of Windsor, and the weather in the Kingdom of Alawi is still sultry. In such a hot weather, you should not wear thick clothes, but these clothes were invented precisely for survival in desert areas. Loose robes are breathable, absorb sweat, and avoid direct sunlight.
At the same time, it can also reduce water loss. If you walk naked in the desert, you will turn into a mummy within half a day.
The arrival of the steam airship caused a commotion. The residents living in the Alawi Kingdom had never seen such a thing before, and they fell to their knees one after another, thinking that it was a ghost.
When the airship docked in the desert open space, many people immediately rushed towards it. Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people around, Ma Wei and others quickly got off the airship and took a detour to avoid the crowd.
As he walked, Levine took out a pair of sunglasses from somewhere and put them on, and raised his eyebrows coquettishly to show that he was well prepared.
Now he was really unrecognizable. Only two hands were visible from Levin's body. Ma Wei stared at him, and the more he looked, the more familiar he looked.
This outfit makes him look like a terrorist!
After walking for more than ten minutes, we were approaching Baghdad. The soldiers here were still using cold weapons and ancient flintlocks, and they didn't even have a decent rifle.
Whether they are caravans or pedestrians, they must pass inspection before entering the city. This has always been the case in the Eastern Continent, with the situation in chaos and armed conflicts often breaking out.
Baghdad is built on the Tigris River, with thorn forests unique to the desert on both sides. In the desert, water represents life. As long as you walk along the river, you will definitely find cities inhabited by humans.
Arriving at the river bank in the north of the city, Mavey saw three stones stacked up as expected. This was the meeting place he and Alberts had decided. Although Alberts was from the Qajar Kingdom, he had been to Baghdad.
"Duoduoduo——"
"Duoduoduo——"
The bell rang in his ears, Ma Wei turned his head, and a masked man riding a red horse and horn boots stopped beside them. The other person's dress was different from that of an ordinary businessman. He was exquisite and expensive, with a jewel-encrusted necklace hanging around his waist.
Scimitar, a pair of eyes like the blue sky, clear and translucent.
"Habari! Eze! Badabada!"
It turned out to be a woman. Ma Wei couldn't understand what she was saying at all, but the other person's tone was fierce and full of vigilance, as if she was asking for something.
clang!
The woman suddenly pulled out her scimitar and shouted behind her. A group of soldiers rushed over not far away.
Ma Wei's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to stop Edward and Levin who were about to take action, trying not to expose their identity as much as possible, and at the same time, he was ready to take action.
Just when the atmosphere was tense and tense, a masked young man suddenly intervened among them, stood in front of Ma Wei and others, held up some pieces of paper and said loudly to the woman:
"Ali Ali! Yu Xiba will pull him!"
Hearing this, the woman put away her machete, took the piece of paper handed over by the young man and looked at it. Her eyes swept over Ma Wei and the others, with a trace of suspicion flashing in her eyes.
After a while, the woman returned the piece of paper to the young man, said hello, and led the soldiers towards the next caravan.
"call..."
The masked young man breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, wiped off cold sweat, and tentatively asked in Windsor: "Have you eaten?"
"Eat, mutton."
"Did you put pepper on it?"
"I'll sprinkle some salt, and I'd better have some ketchup."
"Father!"
"Alberts, long time no see."
After hugging the masked young man, Ma Wei asked: "What's going on with that woman?"
"Those are the patrol guards of the Alawi Kingdom and the Templar Knights selected from the church."
Alberts said: "The Kingdom of Alawi is the territory of the Judgment Cult. The Templar Knights have supreme power. If they find suspicious people, they can kill them first and then report them!"
"By the way, this is your identity document. Please keep it. Bishop Dino spent a lot of effort to get these. The woman just wanted your identity document and you didn't give it, so she wanted to arrest you.
After Saladin woke up, the Kingdom of Alawi became more alert than before."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The so-called proof of identity is just a few pieces of handwritten paper, but the seal stamped on it emits bursts of magic fluctuations, and it does not seem to be something that can be counterfeited.
Putting away the paper, Mawei looked behind Alberts and asked: "Where is Adams? Dino said he will greet us in Baghdad."
"The situation has changed, and Adams can't come." Alberts said: "Adams found out that the Witch God Cult was sending people to monitor him, so he ordered me to be sent out of Cairo and come to Baghdad to join you first. As for the excavation team, as long as we are here
If there is news, he will dispatch it immediately."
"Is Adams going to be okay?"
"He said it's no problem." Alberts smiled: "Looking at his expression, it should be no problem. Now that the Witch God Sect has cooperated with us, we won't fall out for the time being."
Ma Wei was relieved when he heard that Adams was okay. It didn't matter whether there was support or not. They could handle it themselves. The most important thing was how much stuff they brought out. The key was safety.
Adams is Dino's only son. If he is in danger, Mavey can't tell Dino.
"It's getting late today. Let's go to the city and rest for the night before setting off tomorrow morning."
Alberts raised his head and looked at the sky and said: "There will be a black sandstorm in the desert recently. Businessmen who are out there have to go back to the city. If it's too late, they have to stay in the desert."
The black sandstorm is not a problem at all for the Mawei people. With the Tears of the Siren in hand, they can create an absolutely safe space. This is their confidence.
"Let's go to the city and find a hotel to stay in, and then buy some camels."
alberts said:
"It's three days' journey from Jerusalem. You must bring enough water. If there is no water in the desert, you will die of thirst in one day."
