At the same time, on the Red Sea in Africa, in the forest of stone pillars, in the living module of the sand ship Dawn, in the captain's room.
"Ha~" Bedivere yawned long and lazily lay on the sofa reading a magazine. Because he had to get up early tomorrow morning, he planned to take a shower and rest for a while before going to bed. Now he was lying on the sofa.
In order to let the hair all over the body dry.
"Captain, I have a message for you." I was only halfway through the magazine when Eve's voice suddenly sounded.
"Who?" Bedivere asked subconsciously.
"The other party did not identify herself." Eve replied: "But she said you would want to talk to her, as [the guardian of the Sun God (Ra)]."
"Huh?" The werewolf young man snorted. At first he thought it was just some kind of prank and was not going to answer the call from an unknown source. But when he heard the word [Guardian of the Sun God], he felt that things were not as he imagined.
Simple, just in case, it is better to listen to what the other party has to say.
Moreover, [her]? According to Eve, the other party should be a woman, right? Who could it be ------
"Good evening, Xiaolang." The other party said as soon as the line was connected. The signal was very poor, full of rustling noise, and even the sound was distorted. It was impossible to hear the other party's original voice clearly.
But Bedivere combined this frivolous tone with his past experiences and easily determined the identity of the other party: "Kana?"
"Ah, were you recognized right away?" the other party replied cheerfully, as if he had no intention of concealing his identity from the beginning: "Then do you know why I called you at this time?"
"I'm not omniscient and omnipotent." Bedivere complained angrily: "Don't be shy, just say what you want to say quickly."
"To put it simply, I am inviting you to participate in [the trial]." Kana said.
"What?" The werewolf young man frowned, feeling that this was definitely not a good thing.
"I heard a little bit of gossip. Because the wind direction has changed, the Egyptian government plans to formally ask you to hand over the [Sun God's Sun Disk] tomorrow morning. Their attitude is very tough this time. It is estimated that even Great Britain will not be able to protect you."
"Oh, damn------"
"That's why I'm in a hurry to contact you." Kana added: "You are faced with two choices now. Either take the [Sun Disk] and run away from now on, and don't appear in front of the world again. As long as you keep hiding, I guess the Egyptian government will also
There is nothing I can do about you. But I know you will never choose this way. You have too many things that you can’t let go of, right."
The werewolf youth nodded subconsciously, although he knew that Kana could not see him nodding. As the captain of the Dawn, and as a candidate for the Round Table Trial, he had too many responsibilities and burdens that he could not let go of.
It cannot be solved by simply walking away.
"That's why I gave you another option, maybe it's the only feasible option. ------It must be tonight, it must be done by you, and it must be completed before the Egyptian government puts pressure on you."
God's Guardian] trial, allowing the Egyptian government to recognize you as a [Guardian]. In this way, even if you are not an Egyptian, even if you are an orc, the Egyptian government will have to admit that you are traditionally designated as a [Guardian].
As the selected regular guardian of the Sun God, they can no longer ask you to exchange [the Sun God's Sun Disk]. Do you think this is fair enough?"
"Will things really go so smoothly?" Bediwell expressed doubts: "I always feel... it's so suspicious. Through some kind of trial, an entire country's government can be shut up...
."
"If you delve into the history of Egypt, you will find that this is a country that pays great attention to tradition. You will also find that even the Egyptian government, which is now corrupt, has to follow some traditions that have been stipulated since ancient times and dare not
To disobey. Egypt still worships cats as messengers of gods. No one in the country will harm stray cats on the road, right?"
"Okay..." After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case, so Bediwell believed it: "Let's just believe it is so, I will try to participate in that trial. But I have
I want to ask you a question, and I hope you can answer it truthfully."
"Ask."
"This matter obviously has nothing to do with you, why are you so concerned?" The werewolf young man asked sharply: "Kana, are you caring about me, or is your patron caring about me? Your patron doesn't want to let me have [
Sun Wheel] fell into the hands of the Egyptian government because it would have a negative impact on his force field, right?"
"You can say that." Kana replied ambiguously: "Indeed, it will be the worst case scenario if [the sun disk] falls into the hands of the Egyptian government. Because in the future, people from a certain organization will definitely make full use of various connections.
, take away or steal the [Sun Disk] hidden in the Egyptian treasury. That is exactly what my patron wants to see. In comparison, as long as the [Sun Disk] continues to be kept by you, the world will be safe.
Enjoy peace for the time being. You are right to think so."
"Hmm." The werewolf youth expressed doubts about Kana's straightforwardness, so he continued to test: "So who is your customer after all? The Mohammed Business Group? The Egyptian government? The government agency of a certain African country.
?...Prince Said? Or...Father Sphinx? Or...you are your own patron?"
"Hahaha, don't test me. You can't succeed in testing me." No matter how many times Bedivere asked, Kana was not shaken at all. This level of testing was a piece of cake for her. It is estimated that even if
Bedivere guessed it right, she wouldn't show the slightest discomfort.
This woman was really good at playing poker. Knowing that she was cunning and dangerous, and that she was obviously taking advantage of Bedivere, the werewolf youth surprisingly did not feel annoyed, and even somewhat appreciated Kana's courage and intelligence.
Well, what are you thinking about? The werewolf young man put aside those strange thoughts and continued to ask: "I can participate in the trial, but you have to explain to me what specific trial it is. Where are you now?"
, let’s make an appointment to meet."
"Very good. Come to the center of the black market in Cairo. Time is tight. I will explain the content of the trial to you in detail on the way." Kana paused and said, "Don't bring anyone else with you, so as not to cause any complications."
"Ha, it sounds like you set a trap for me to step on. Could it be that you plotted against me from behind in the middle of the trial and tried to steal the [Sun God's Sun Disk] from my hand?"
?"
"If I want to snatch the [Sun Disk] from you, I have had at least ten opportunities since a long time ago." Kana retorted with a sneer, "You didn't even notice the several opportunities I had.
Well. You don’t want to think about who’s fault it is to make the situation so urgent. If you had listened to my advice from the beginning and hid both the [Sun Disk] and [Golden Gem] well after you got the [Golden Gemstone],
You would never have ended up in the situation you are in now. As a result, you had to rush all night to participate in the trial. Aren't you just being negligent?"
"Okay..." Bedivere couldn't refute, so he hung up the call in a hurry: "See you later."
Kana is not completely credible, but Bedivere knows that at least part of Kana's words are true, because this part of the facts can be easily verified from his side. The Egyptian government is preparing to put pressure on Bedivere tomorrow
, asking him to hand over the [Sun Disk] is probably a definite fact. As for why the trend suddenly changed, it may be related to the death of the Sphinx father, or it may be related to Albert's visit to Green today.
It has something to do with the big move made by Pharmaceutical Research. The Egyptian government is "black" from beginning to end, and there may be some "white" parts in it, but Bediwell believes that it is best to be responsible for every move of the Egyptian government from the beginning.
One official remained sceptical. Egypt's Defense Minister Jarofa had previously praised Bedivere so much that he might have been just putting on a show.
"It's so troublesome." The werewolf youth climbed up from the sofa. The wolf hair on his body had just dried. He should have jumped into bed at this time and had a good sleep. I didn't expect that his night would be like this.
It is far from a night that can be easily passed by falling asleep.
"Well, Little Beidi?" As soon as the werewolf youth walked out of the captain's cabin, he met Paramedis who was passing by holding a box of soda: "It's so late, where are you going?"
"Can't sleep, let's go out for a walk." Bedivere lied casually, not wanting others to worry. Kana asked Bedivere to meet her alone, which was also a very strange request. What "Trial of the Guardian"?
Could it be that Bediwell cannot let the people around him know about his participation in this kind of trial?
"By the way, what are you doing?" Bediwell saw Paramedis holding a whole box of [Photon Coke] and asked curiously: "Is this a new flavor of soda developed by old man Logan?"
"You can say this," Paramedis thrust a bottle of Photon Coke into the hands of the werewolf youth: "[Photon Coke---Quantum Flavor], added ten times more sugar and electrolytes than usual, suitable for heavy laborers
Drink it at work. I’m planning to give it to the kids and have a party. Do you want to try it too?”
"What kind of party are you having..." The werewolf youth couldn't help but smack his tongue as he held the bottle of magical drink with an icy blue shimmer. It contains ten times more sugar than usual. Isn't this thing so sweet?"
If you let children drink something like this late at night, will they be able to sleep?"
"I didn't plan to let Hal and the others drink it. This is for Saifer and Seglade." Paramedis said: "As for the party, it should be regarded as a celebration for all the members of our Dawn to join the war. [Moby.
"Successfully survive the Dick Crusade, hahaha."
"You are so free..."
"Aren't you going to attend?" Palamedes asked again: "I originally planned to inform you that the captain would come to the party, but it seems that you have more important things to do------"
Was he really seen through? Bedivere knew that his casual words of "going out for a walk" would not fool the experienced Leopard Man warriors.
"I do have something to do. You guys should have fun." Bedivere then said with a wry smile.
"Don't do anything dangerous?" Palamedes warned again.
"Yeah." The werewolf young man agreed casually, then turned around and left as if running away. (To be continued)
