Goku, it's up to you

The next day, morning.

The first stop on today’s trip is the National Museum of Egypt.

"You are here at the right time. Some time ago, one-half of Queen Marie's pearls were found and placed in the National Museum. And today happens to be the first day of official display."

On the bus, Professor Hassan, who was leading the team, introduced Chen Xuan and Dean Shuang with a smile.

"Such an ancient treasure, I don't know what it will look like after it's 'awakened'."

Chen Xuan said respectfully.

After experiencing yesterday's introduction that could be called a bad supplement, he now has a considerable understanding of the general history and legends of the entire Egypt.

Generally speaking, pearls are measured in units of 'pearls', one, two, three, generally not accurate to a fraction.

But Queen Marie's pearls are different.

Rumor has it that she possesses two of the largest pearls in human history, one of which no longer exists, and the whereabouts of the other was previously a mystery.

The disappearance of the first pearl is said to be because Queen Elizabeth was trying to persuade her lover Anthony not to be too extravagant and wasteful. Another theory is that she was trying to show her unattainability.

At that time, 'Anthony' was very keen on holding various banquets and provided all kinds of expensive and luxurious food and wine without hesitation.

Even, in order to pursue the ultimate deliciousness, the ingredients are eaten from other high-quality meats before slaughtering.

Because of this, Anthony once owned a very valuable eel.

After Queen Victoria visited the Roman Empire in person, Antony boasted that he would hold the most extravagant and grand banquet in history for her, which would cost a million sesterces.

'Sesters' was a kind of silver coin at that time. According to the literature, it is speculated that one sesterces may contain about 4.5 grams of pure silver.

Therefore, 100 million sesterces is 4.5 tons of pure silver.

In modern times, so much silver is equivalent to tens of millions in purchasing power.

Not to mention, how amazing it would be in BC when productivity was far behind.

Antony fought everywhere, and the ransom he paid to release the captured kings was only this amount.

However.
Queen Marie replied lightly that 100 million was nothing, she could prepare a more expensive banquet, and only the two of them would be involved.

In this regard, Anthony only felt that the other party was making nonsense.

After all, after racking his brains, he was able to accumulate luxury to 100 million sesterces.

As for the cost of 1000 million sesterces, and only two people participated, how could it be possible to spend it all?

So, after Queen Victoria proposed a bet, Anthony agreed without thinking - the cost of the banquet did not reach 1000 million sesterces, so he was allowed to play with flowers in the evening.

At the dinner that day, Anthony looked at the ordinary food on the table and immediately felt stable.

Until Queen Marie appeared wearing a pair of extremely gorgeous pearl earrings. As soon as she sat down, she ordered the maid to bring a glass of vinegar.

Then, he took off one of the pearls, put it in vinegar and let it melt, and drank it all in one gulp in front of Anthony, indicating that the cost had reached 1000 million sesterces.

When she was about to continue taking off the second pearl, Anthony finally stopped the prodigal woman unable to sit still and had no choice but to admit defeat.

Since then, only one of the two most valuable pearls in human history has remained.

As for the whereabouts of the other one, it is unknown.

A more common theory is that Queen Marie ordered her to be cut into two pieces, and a pair of earrings were remade, and she began to live in exile after her death.

"If you want to awaken the spirit, there is probably not much hope."

Professor Hassan shook his head regretfully, but there was a hint of hope in his tone, "Not to mention that the original intact pearl was split into two, this level of damage has greatly reduced the possibility of 'awakening the spirit'.

Even if we take a step back and assume that the two halves of the pearl will not affect the 'awakening spirit' after they are merged, the other half is still unknown in the Year of the Monkey, Horse and Moon.

If she could successfully 'awaken the spirit', she might be able to recreate a bit of Queen Marie's elegance, become the first king-level royal spirit, and lead the country of Egypt to re-create the glory of the ancient era. "

Hearing this, Chen Xuan could only comfort him and said:

"With such a long history, there are naturally countless collections more valuable than these two pearls, so there is no need to be too sorry."

Although the earliest appearance of the king class can be traced back to the middle of the last century.

But to this day, the king-level has not shown a blowout, and there are still only a few countries with king-level.

For example, the Kingdom of Egypt is a country without a king to guard it. Fortunately, the danger level of the death realm here is much lower, and the general level is enough to deal with it.

“There are indeed countless precious collections, but it’s a pity that many of them no longer exist in Egypt, but lie in museums in other countries.”

Professor Hassan sighed.

The loss of cultural relics in Egypt began in the 19th century and gradually improved until the early 20th century, that is, between 1990 and 1919.

Since the early 20th century, the concepts of "instruments becoming spirits" and "awakening spirits" began to emerge, and countries' efforts to protect their own cultural relics have greatly improved.

After so many years, archaeologists and explorers from Europe, led by Britain, have gained a lot from the excavation of pyramids and tombs.

Under the influence of these two factors, Egypt finally no longer allows people to easily dig up ancestral graves and steal mummies.

"."

Regarding this topic, Chen Xuan could only remain silent and did not dare to answer the question.

Of course he also knew which country Professor Hassan was angry about.

However, this study tour also represents the image of the country to a certain extent, so it is not easy to make casual remarks to avoid being criticized.

"correct."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Professor Hassan also changed the topic, "Speaking of eating, the last king of Egypt, Farouk I, even ate himself to death."

"Huh? So outrageous?"

Chen Xuan was surprised.

"Hahaha, it is indeed outrageous. But precisely because it is so outrageous, there is a theory circulating that he deliberately faked his death to secretly accumulate strength and want to revive the royal family."

Professor Hassan couldn't help but laugh, "However, judging from the level of stupidity, having such ambitions seems even more outrageous than being stretched to death."

"why?"

"Because according to later generations' statistics, the amount of food Farouk I ate during his lifetime was enough to supply an entire army."

Professor Hassan patiently introduced, “Farouq I was born in 1920 at the Tynhorn Palace in Alexandria.

Since his father gave birth to a large number of daughters, and the eldest son died early, as soon as Farooq was born, he solved the old king's urgent need and became the old king's only son.

For this reason, the old king happily announced to the whole country, held a grand banquet for three days, and publicly announced his son as the sultan.

Two years later, Farouk I naturally became the Crown Prince of Egypt.

However, after Farooq I entered school, he found it extremely difficult to study and was unable to make any progress in his studies.

Even if the old king racked his brains, he had little success.

Originally, the old king hired a tutor and a group of children to accompany him in reading, hoping that he would succeed in his studies.

But Farooq was not only uninterested in studying, but was also very interested in the female reading companion around him.

In desperation, the old king had to send him to the "British Kingdom", hoping to use advanced foreign education methods to promote his son's growth.But Farooq also accomplished nothing.

Even the lust he displayed as a child developed to its fullest extent without discipline.

While studying abroad, he maintained relationships with more than 10 girls.

After returning from school, he was so fat that no one could recognize him. Moreover, the amazing appetite he had developed abroad made him eager to eat all kinds of food.

According to records, he spent almost one-third of his time eating every day. When he had nothing to do, he would shut himself in the house and enjoy various delicacies.

Farouk's uncontrolled eating and drinking caused his weight to skyrocket, causing him to become potbellied at a young age and make it difficult to move.

In 1936, Farouk inherited the throne due to the death of his father. At the age of only 16, he was sitting on countless astonishing wealth.

At the age of 18, Farooq officially reached the legal age, ascended to the throne, and married a noble lady.

However, even after marriage, he still could not lock his heart longing for women.

Farouk kept mistresses everywhere, from star actors to aristocratic ladies, from folk women to well-known talented women, all of them became the objects of his pursuit of beauty.

What’s even more outrageous is that after Farooq returned from studying abroad, he also showed a knack for stealing.

At first, Farooq only targeted his own people.

Whenever Egypt's ministers came to the palace to report state affairs to him, he would steal whatever they liked.

Later, when the ministers saw him, they would empty their belongings. Now Farooq could no longer steal anything.

In order to continue to satisfy his "desire to steal", he went to great lengths to hold banquets in the palace and requested celebrities from all walks of life to attend. The purpose was just to facilitate his stealing.

His most famous deed was his successful attempt to steal British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's pocket watch.

When Churchill found out, he immediately ordered his men to come back.But Farooq actually cheated in public and refused to admit the theft.

Finally, due to serious protests from the British government, Farouk returned the pocket watch to Churchill.

after this incident
Faruk also learned from the experience and felt that he could not continue like this and must study systematically.

So, he went to the prison to learn from an old pickpocket to improve his stealing skills. Afterwards, he was released from prison for the first time.

finally.
Under Faruk I's crazy tossing, the Egyptian people couldn't bear it and ousted him from power in 1952.

When he fled to Rome, he did not forget to use beer boxes as cover and packed 38 boxes full of treasure.

But it was finally searched out, and the searchers even found a large number of pornographic books and periodicals.

Until 1965, Farouk died in a hospital in Rome at the age of 45.

It is said that in his last meal before his death, he swallowed a total of 12 large lobsters, 10 oysters, 8 fish, and 5 bowls of fried rice.There are also countless cheeses, jams, flatbreads, beans, vegetables and fruits.

After eating these things, Farooq lay on the sofa and closed his eyes with satisfaction, completing his 45 years of life. "

"."

After hearing the end, Chen Xuan was stunned.

Because such an outrageous king is indeed rare.

"From a certain perspective, Farouk I also had the lust for 'Anthony' and his ultimate pursuit of food. He had quite a heroic spirit left over from ancient Egypt."

Professor Hassan was silent.

"The eccentricity of stealing can also be understood as the obsession that Anthony had after witnessing Queen Marie swallowing 1000 million sesterces in one bite."

Chen Xuan half-joked, "The characters and characteristics match up, it can be said that he is the reincarnation of 'Anthony'."

"Hahaha"

This statement also caused Professor Hassan to applaud.

During the conversation, the bus also came to the National Museum.

only.
At this moment, the museum is no longer as quiet as before. Instead, it is a mess of ruined walls.

There were even many police cars parked nearby, as well as many onlookers, including reporters with microphones and cameras conducting interviews.

"what happened?"

Professor Hassan was confused.

Was there an earthquake?

No, it was fine on the way here. There was no shaking feeling.
"Sorry, wait a minute."

Professor Hassan awkwardly signaled to Chen Xuan and Dean Shuang, then stepped out of the car to ask for the specific reason.

"Looking like this, the museum must have been robbed."

Dean Shuang, who had his hands on his chest, glanced out the window and said calmly.

"Ah? Are we so unlucky?"

Chen Xuan was dumbfounded.

It’s okay to be attacked by demons on the way to the flight.

Let’s visit the museum. The museum was robbed.

I'm not Conan, so how can I go out and get into trouble wherever I go?

but
The last time we witnessed a museum being robbed, a few Egyptians robbed Egyptian cultural relics on display at the British Museum.

Could it be this time that someone from Britain comes to grab the collection?

But Britain seems to have no cultural relics in Egypt. Is it possible that even the remaining mummies must be looted?
"One-half of Queen Marie's pearls have been robbed. The museum will be sealed off for investigation. There is no way to visit today."

After a while, Professor Hassan returned to the bus with an ugly face.

Several other Egyptian university students who were traveling with him were also filled with indignation after learning the news.

Although I know in my heart that the chance of this half-pearl 'awakening' is slim, it still represents the hope of the birth of the first king-class and affects the direction of the country's destiny.

Such an important item was stolen like this, and the national sentiment deep in his bones naturally made him feel depressed.

Fortunately
Although his mood was affected, his hospitality etiquette did not drop. He quickly adjusted and tried not to spread negative emotions to Chen Xuan and Dean Shuang.

Due to a temporary change in the itinerary, the lunch time was also moved forward.

In order to take care of their eating habits, a Chinatown was specially found.

(`)Master, this stick is beautiful!
After taking just two steps, Wukong stared at a small stall at the entrance of an antique shop. He picked up a delicate, round wooden stick on the stall and rolled up a dazzling stick flower in his hand.

Σ(っ°°;)っBrother Monkey, let’s stop playing. This thing looks so dangerous.
Upon seeing this, Zhuzhu immediately tensed up and cautiously tried to dissuade him.

As the most mature and stable little white dragon among the three little ones, the old god was holding his hands on the ground and looking at the introduction sign of this stick:
[In ancient times, there was a kind of red sandalwood material used for making official seals, called 'Huiqin'. Its color is similar to crape myrtle flowers, so it is also called 'crape myrtle stick'. 】

(`ω) The zero-level pure yang treasure can meet the Jade Emperor through the alternation of yin and yang.
