I weave fate in parallel time and space

Mycroft reacted, quickly ran back to the cabin, went to the lower level, and opened Tesla's room.

Tesla had already tied himself to the wardrobe on one side with a rope in advance. This behavior prevented him from falling and being hit due to the violent jolts of the airship. Therefore, apart from looking a little bad, Tesla It was okay to go up there, no injuries, and I could even untie the rope myself.

Seeing this, Mycroft also breathed a sigh of relief.

Tesla joked, "I'm already beginning to regret going out with you. I think it's more comfortable to stay on my island. Even during the World War, I never experienced such excitement riding in this airship."

"Sorry, it was an accident." Mycroft said.

"I know." Tesla nodded, "And it's not even an ordinary accident."

Mycroft raised his head, "Did you see it too?"

"Although I am old, I am not blind yet." Tesla silently picked up the cane that fell on the ground and said calmly, "Both this rain and this storm are too weird."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Tesla said. He turned his head and looked at the endless desert through the porthole. "Let's think about how we can get out of this desert."

Mycroft looked at the desert and fell into silence.

He took Tesla back to the bridge. The navigator was determining his position on a map of his empire, and the telegraph operator was trying to restore communications.

"Have you contacted the Egyptian Empire officials?" Mycroft asked.

"The communication system was probably damaged by lightning and is being repaired urgently," the communications officer said.

"No need to worry." Tesla said slowly, "People from the Great Egyptian Empire should be able to find us. After all, we are an unreported airship from a foreign country."

"The Egyptian Empire is so big, unless someone sees us when we make an emergency landing, otherwise we will not be discovered at all." Mycroft said.

Tesla slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "Don't underestimate the Egyptian Empire. Although they are low-key, they hide much more than you think."

Mycroft raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at the desert through the porthole.

The desert surface is covered with a thick layer of yellow sand dunes, which sparkle with golden light in the sunlight. The dunes have different shapes, some are undulating like waves, and some are continuous like mountains. It's like being in an endless golden ocean.

The temperature in the desert is so high that even space seems to be distorted by it. You can feel the astonishing high temperature even in the cabin.

But suddenly.

In that twisted space, a dark figure emerged from the other end of the dune.

When Mycroft's eyes gradually focused, he realized that it was a huge mechanical creation.

Like a spider magnified dozens of times, this mechanical spider's entire body is made of copper-colored metal, and its streamlined body seems to be designed to adapt to the desert environment. Its eight mechanical legs are thick and powerful, and the design of the joints is full of power. Every step can make the entire desert vibrate.

The multi-legged design makes it easy to walk on flat ground in the desert and is very flexible.

The head of the mechanical spider is extremely large, occupying almost one-third of the entire body. A pair of huge compound eyes are embedded on both sides of the head, like two rubies, emitting a deep light. This pair of compound eyes not only looks gorgeous, but also has high definition and night vision capabilities, allowing you to clearly observe the surrounding environment no matter day or night.

Soon, accompanied by vibrations, the spider docked near the airship.

The hatch at the front of the spider slowly opened, revealing a cold cannon aimed at the airship.

Then, a voice came from the spider.

"Leviathan airship No. B33, you have illegally entered the territory of the Great Egyptian Empire. Please inform us of your purpose."

Mycroft quickly walked out from the bridge and stood on the desert, raising his hands to show that he was harmless.

He quickly explained, "We came from Britannia and were going to Beichen. We encountered heavy rain on the way and the airship was damaged. We had no choice but to make an emergency landing on your land."

He took out his ID card from his body and said, "I am a senior official in Britannia. This is my ID card. I know your Prime Minister Samira and I meet him often."

The big spider was silent for a long time, which made the people on the airship nervous.

Because of the closedness and mystery of the Egyptian empire, there are many urban legends circulating here, and their mummy culture is also scary.

But soon, the big spider slowly leaned down, and the hatch on one side slowly opened, and then a group of Egyptian soldiers wearing military uniforms and covering their faces with black gauze came down from above.

They came to Mycroft. One of the soldiers stepped forward and searched Mycroft's body, but Mycroft did not resist.

He searched out the two guns from Mycroft's body and took them in his hands.

Soon, an officer squeezed out of the crowd. He was tall and had a pair of deep brown or amber eyes with obvious Egyptian characteristics.

He took the ID in Mycroft's hand, looked at it carefully, and then returned the ID to Mycroft.

He looked at the soldier holding a gun on one side and motioned him to return the gun with his eyes. The soldier returned the pistol to Mycroft, and Mycroft hid the two pistols again.

Thanks to King Arthur's experience in helping the founding of Great Egypt, although the relationship between the two countries cannot be said to be bad, it is not hostile either.

"My name is Ali." The officer said.

"Mycroft Holmes," Mycroft said.

Ali raised his head and looked at the airship, "Can this airship still move?"

"The engine system is damaged." Mycroft said, "It is estimated that the repair will take a while."

Ali thought for a moment and seemed to want to say something, but suddenly nodded.

"Yes, I understand."

Mycroft thought he was talking to himself, but he soon discovered that he had an earplug in his ear.

This earplug is very inconspicuous and cannot be noticed at all if you are not paying attention.

Not even Britannia can achieve such sophisticated communication technology.

Mycroft remembered what Tesla had said before and fell silent.

Soon, Ali looked at Mycroft.

"Your Majesty wants to see you. This ship will be towed away by us for repairs. Let your people board our warship."

"Thank you then."

Mycroft turned his head and looked at the people on the bridge of the airship, signaling them to come out.

The captain's reaction speed was also very fast, and he quickly called everyone on the warship to come down.

Together they boarded the big spider.

The inside of the spider is very similar to Britannia's warship, but the difference is that the spider's appearance is more intimidating and larger.

Mycroft estimated that the tonnage of this thing should be about two thousand tons, and it should also be a land frigate.

Ali asked the soldiers on the warship to take the people from the airboat to the lounge.

It was a fairly spacious area, surrounded by soft wallpaper, and the floor was covered with precious Persian carpets.

There is a porthole on one side of the room, through which you can see the desert outside.

"You guys rest here for a while. You should arrive at your destination in half an hour." Ali said, and then left the room directly.

After a while, Mycroft could clearly feel the ground shaking slightly. The sound of the entire warship's engine was mechanically transmitted to the room, but it was very weak. If you didn't feel it carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.

"I didn't expect that the Great Egyptian Empire would have such a large tonnage of warships." Rob looked around through the porthole and sighed, "I feel like I am almost catching up with the Sword in the Stone."

Mycroft looked at Tesla, "Have you seen this warship before?"

Tesla found a sofa and sat down, leaning his cane on the sofa on one side and smiling.

"I've seen a lot more than you think."

Mycroft narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to ask something else, but Tesla waved his hand.

"When you get there, you will understand everything."

Mycroft knew enough not to ask any more questions, and also found a place to sit down.

During this time, they also talked about other things, about his arm and the details about the demonic invasion that happened thousands of years ago.

Time passed like this, and what Mycroft saw was finally no longer a vast desert, but an ancient Egyptian temple.

The temple is situated in a vast oasis, surrounded by towering palm trees and low shrubs. The sun's rays shine on the oasis, dyeing the land golden yellow. The sun shines through the gaps in the palm leaves, casting mottled shadows, creating a dreamlike feeling.

On the south side of the temple, the Nile River meanders through, quietly flowing through the vicissitudes of time. The river water shimmered silver-white under the sunlight, as if a huge ribbon tightly tied the land of Egypt together. Occasionally, boats pass by on the river, cutting through the calm water and leaving a series of ripples.

Mycroft has actually been to Egypt in the past, but at that time his itinerary was limited to certain fixed areas.

So, he has actually never been to this temple, but for some reason, he feels that his unexpected trip may be able to answer a question he had many years ago (End of Chapter)
