Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 35 Successfully Becoming a "Follower"

Lin You decided to show up and meet the two protagonists after careful consideration. Because the next part of the journey is walking in the desert, it would be very troublesome to use the illusion spell to hide and track.

For a journey of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, one must find a means of transportation, right? Lin You didn't bring a flying broom with him on this trip. If he didn't buy a camel or something, he would have to walk all the way, or use Apparition every once in a while.

The loss of mana is not worth mentioning, the key is troublesome and tiring. It is better to show up openly and buy a camel to follow them.

Unfortunately, neither of the two protagonists agreed with his idea.

O'Connor was extremely vigilant, believing that this little brat was hiding a secret and wanted to stay away from him to avoid any trouble. This was the experience he gained from working at the bottom of society.

Evelin was confused and didn't see the danger to Lin You, but she was sure that a child shouldn't go deep into the desert to take risks; no matter whether the summer camp was true or not, they should turn around and go back to Cairo immediately. This was a pure good-for-nothing mentality.

The dispute between the three people brought Jonathan and the warden over again.

The warden really didn't remember Lin You. Perhaps he didn't even know that there was such a person in his prison. So he stared at the child in a daze: "Who is this?"

"Just like you, a surviving tourist on the cruise ship." Lin You took the initiative to give himself a legal identity.

Evelyn did not expose the truth, but said helplessly: "He wants to go to Hamunatta with us; but we can't do that. Do you know any way to send a child back to Cairo? We can send him to the British Consulate. He said he came from London."

Lin You no longer wanted to argue with them, and simply took out two 500-gram standard gold bars from his bag - exactly what he took out from the Eagle Project world - and handed them to Jonathan.

"Sir, can you buy me two camels and load them with enough food and water for two weeks? And then buy me two sets of local clothes that fit me. Whatever is left will be yours as a commission, how about that?"

Jonathan changed sides on the spot, grabbed the gold brick, took two bites, then smiled and said loudly: "No problem, dear young gentleman, Jonathan is at your service."

After saying this, he turned around and ran towards the market, as if he was completely oblivious to his sister's loud words of dissuasion behind him.

Lin You winked at Evelin proudly, and deliberately patted his bag: “In this world, money is the most persuasive.”

If the male and female protagonists in the story of The Mummy are responsible for strength and intelligence respectively, then Evelyn's brother Jonathan is responsible for comedy.

In this world, money can't make a mummy grind, but it can certainly make Jonathan run errands willingly.

A bulging bag of gold, at least a dozen standard gold bricks, were all left by Lin You in the dimensional space for backup. Different story worlds may have different currencies, but as long as they are within the scope of human civilization, gold is hard currency.

"Where did you get so much gold?" Evelyn was surprised, but also a little worried about the boy. It is dangerous for a naughty boy to carry gold through a busy city in any country.

Not to mention others, the warden next to them changed his expression first and asked maliciously: "Child, it is too dangerous for you to carry so much money. Your parents didn't tell you that the money should be given to adults for safekeeping."

Lin You started to talk nonsense: "This is the travel expenses given by my family. After all, the journey of this summer camp is too far. They didn't say that I have to give it to the adults for safekeeping. They just said that I can spend it when I need it and don't let myself be wronged."

"What else did they say?" The warden tried to act amiable and kind, but his hand quietly moved closer and closer to the bag on the boy's back.

Lin You raised his hand, and suddenly there was a revolver in his palm, pointing the muzzle directly at the warden: "They also said that if anyone wants to rob, just shoot him in the head."

"Oh oh oh... be careful!" The warden stepped back in fear, waving his hands in front of him; he could see clearly that the bolt of the revolver had been cocked and could be fired with just a slight pull of the trigger.

A kid of this age might not know the dangers of guns. It would be too unfair if he died in a muddle-headed way at the hands of a little brat. O'Connor and Evelyn were both startled. Then O'Connor was stunned again. He felt that the gun in the boy's hand seemed familiar. So he touched his waist and cursed inwardly: "Fuck!"

The holster on his waist was empty.

"Give it back to me." O'Connor snatched the pistol back and pushed the bolt back. "Children should not play with guns! This is a weapon. It is very dangerous."

Lin You said innocently, "I often play with this thing at home. I might be more skilled at using it than you are. Besides, I have unloaded all the bullets. How can it be dangerous?"

The boy stretched out his left hand, which had been hidden, and slapped the bullet into O'Connor's hand.

O'Connor opened the revolver in disbelief and stared at the empty magazine and the bullets in his palm.

"You still say you're not a pickpocket?"

While they were arguing, Jonathan came back with two camels. They had already purchased similar things, so it would be much easier to go there again.

Facing Jonathan's shining eyes, Lin You took out another gold brick: "Mr. Jonathan, please help me buy another gun..."

“Absolutely not!” This time Evelin reacted faster than anyone else, grabbing the gold brick in her hand aggressively, not giving her brother any chance, “Children are not allowed to play with guns!”

"Can the child go with you to Hamunaptra?" Lin You deliberately patted his bag. "You don't think a child like me can safely carry so much gold back to Cairo? Unless I have a gun."

"Not even with a gun."

Evelyn, who was overly kind-hearted, was in a dilemma and finally had to bring along an uninvited "follower".

On the way, Lin You handed the reins of the camel under his crotch to Evelyn and said, "Miss Evelyn, could you please tie the reins to your camel's saddle? This way I won't be afraid of getting lost after I fall asleep."

"Hey, kid, don't cause trouble for her." O'Connor expressed his dissatisfaction.

Lin You glanced at her sideways and continued to plead with Evelyn: "If I give the reins to Mr. O'Connor, he will definitely deliberately throw me off the road."

O'Connor: "..."

"If I hand it over to Mr. Warden or Mr. Jonathan, they might steal all my gold and abandon me on the road." Lin You treated all three men equally and offended them at the same time.

The warden and Jonathan looked around guiltily.

So, in the end, Lin You followed Evelyn's camel with confidence and fell asleep hugging the camel's hump.

I ran through four worlds in one night. In actual fact, at least three days and three nights had passed, but I didn't get a single good night's sleep.

so sleepy.
