Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 217: Machine gun fire in front, artillery shells in the back (asking for monthly tickets)
Sonorous——

The fierce clash between the metal blade and the bronze spear produced a string of brilliant sparks under the dome of the dim exhibition hall.

The Chinese exhibition hall, which was originally immersed in melodious poetry, was instantly torn apart by the roar of war horses and the howling of soldiers, as if the echoes of the ancient battlefield came across time and space!

Lanstro yanked the reins, and the horse under his crotch jumped up nimbly, skillfully avoiding the sharp edge of the enemy's bronze spear. He waved his sword in his hand, blocking the dense spears like rain, and then let out a thunderous roar: "Arrogant foreigner! I am Lanstro, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, the Knight of the Lake, and the Lion of Britain! Who are you to dare to provoke me!"

However, these heroic words did not reduce the offensive. On the contrary, the unfamiliar language made the faces of the hundreds of terracotta warriors even more ferocious. They advanced one after another, forming an indestructible formation. Their spears were like forests and their arrows were like rain, tightly entangling the group of knights of similar number.

Phew—bang!

Seeing a knight fall off his horse, Lanstro had no time to care about Emma and others. His anger turned into a fierce attack on the silent and tenacious Eastern warriors in front of him.

He raised his sword high and shouted to the knights behind him: "Assemble, break through their formation, and let these belligerent bastards see the glory of British knights!"

As the order was given, nearly a hundred war horses neighed in unison, their iron hooves thundered, and they charged towards the array of Terracotta Warriors and Horses. After just one round of charge, all the terracotta warriors guarding the front line were knocked to the ground.

"How dare a mere infantryman challenge the greatest knightly order in Britain"

Lanstro shook his head in disdain. With just a few more rounds, his knights would be able to disperse and crush the entire terracotta army!
However, he had not expected that when the terracotta warriors in the exhibition hall fell one by one, a figure sitting in a bronze chariot in the storage room below the exhibition hall suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate numerous barriers and look directly at the changing situation upstairs.

At the same time, in a corner of the exhibition hall, Emma and her companions, hiding behind a large bronze tripod, looked at the Knights and Terracotta Warriors who were already blood-thirsty in the distance, and began to move towards the next location, which was also their destination this time - the Egyptian Pavilion.

"fine."

Emma looked back from time to time as she ran, and felt relieved when she saw that the battle had moved to a more spacious corridor.

"They didn't fight in the innermost part of the exhibition hall, otherwise a lot of cultural relics would have been destroyed."

"You even care about this?"

"No, it's just that my uncle likes China more. When he's at home, he'll watch a Hong Kong movie every few days. He also said that he'll take us on a trip to the Far East when he has time. If he knew that so many Chinese cultural relics were damaged because of us, he would definitely be angry."

"cut"

With the help of the projected map that seemed to be alive in Megan's eyes, the three of them walked quickly and arrived in front of the Egyptian Pavilion in a flash.

On both sides of the museum entrance, just like the Natural History Museum in New York, there are huge statues with dog heads and human bodies standing here. They have sharp eyes, like loyal guards.

But the difference is that there are only two dog head statues in the Egyptian Museum in New York, but here
Wednesday looked at the twelve dog-headed guards who were several stories high and staring at her covetously. She quietly tugged at Emma's hand and said in a low voice, "How about you think of another way to lead them to the Terracotta Warriors?"

"."

Emma shook her head helplessly, pulled Wednesday back a few steps, and said with a wry smile: "They are so big, I guess only the Buddha statues in the Chinese Pavilion and the marble statues in the Greek Pavilion can deal with them."

"What should I do?"

When Wednesday heard this, the witch's magic power in her hands was ready to move. However, facing these twelve huge monsters weighing dozens of tons, she couldn't help feeling powerless.

These stone guys cannot be controlled by the mind, nor can they be ignited by fire. As for telekinesis control, it is like an ant trying to shake a tree. It is impossible at all.

Do I have to perform an out-of-body experience and resurrection in front of them?

Perhaps Uncle Emma was right. Those so-called witch skills were nothing but trifles in front of the real strong ones.

"Akhnaten!!!"

Emma suddenly shouted, with a bit of determination and expectation in her voice, "Are you there, great Pharaoh Akhenaten? We are friends of your son, the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun, and we have an urgent matter to ask of you!"

However, the dog-headed guards who surrounded them remained unmoved. The golden spears in their hands flashed with cold light, pointing directly at Emma and the others, as if they were ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

At this critical moment, an ancient and obscure spell was heard from deep within the exhibition hall. Immediately afterwards, the originally ferocious dog-headed guards stopped what they were doing, knelt on one knee, and looked behind them respectfully.

Then, an old man dressed in gorgeous ancient Egyptian gold ornaments, holding a scepter, slowly walked out of the exhibition hall.

He widened his eyes, carefully looked at the three little girls in front of him, and asked curiously: "Do you know my children?"

Emma nodded quickly and explained eagerly: "We are all his friends, but he is in some trouble now, so he entrusted us to come to you for help."

Upon hearing this, Pharaoh showed a complicated expression on his face and sighed, "This kid doesn't even have the courage to come to Egypt to visit me in person. It seems that he is still brooding over what happened back then."

After saying that, he waved to Emma and the others, then turned around and returned to the exhibition hall with a bit of loneliness and helplessness.

Emma and Wednesday looked at each other, wrinkled their noses, and muttered quietly, "He seems to have no idea where he is. He thinks he's still in Egypt."

"This is the first time they have awakened since death. It would be strange to know." Wednesday curled his lips and pulled Emma to quickly catch up with Pharaoh.

At this moment, she just wanted to end this absurd adventure as soon as possible. Compared with the relatively mild collections in the New York Museum, the things in the British Museum seemed too difficult to deal with.

Soon after, deep inside the Egyptian pavilion.

The old pharaoh sat on a golden throne inlaid with countless gems. His eyes were full of surprise as he stared at the gold medal of resurrection presented by Emma and the others.

"You mean, we are all dead now, and we are resurrected because of this gold medal?"

"Yes."

Emma answered honestly, "But the problem at hand is that the power of the gold medal cannot be balanced due to the loss of the Death Stone, so in our museum, your son, the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun, is in a very critical condition. We must find the Death Stone and reinsert it into the gold medal to save his life."

When Pharaoh heard this, his face changed suddenly. He held his forehead with his hand and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he raised his head sharply, his eyes gleaming.

Seeing this, Emma and the others couldn't help but reveal expectant smiles on their faces. Looking at their expressions, it seemed as if a light bulb was about to light up in their foreheads. They must have remembered the location of the gem!
"I have never seen the stone and know nothing about it."

"What?! Then why were you so excited just now?!"

Emma looked at the sincere-looking Pharaoh on the throne in astonishment, and said helplessly, "This gold medal was unearthed from your son's tomb. As a father, if you don't know, who else can know?"

"this."

The old pharaoh scratched his head. "As far as I can remember, there has never been any gemstone inlaid on this gold medal since I first saw it. If there really was one, it must have been lost during the time of my ancestors. If you want to find the gemstone back, you may have to ask the pharaohs who lived even longer than me."

"."

Emma and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. It was already difficult to find the little Pharaoh's father, so where could they find his grandfather?

Seeing the frustrated looks of the girls in front of him, Pharaoh smiled, raised his eyebrows, coughed lightly and said, "Although I don't know the whereabouts of the gem, it doesn't mean I can't find out."

After saying that, he waved to Emma and the others, and led them mysteriously towards some unknown place.

Looking at Pharaoh's sudden action, Wednesday murmured in confusion: "Do you think this Pharaoh is a little strange? Why does he look like a child who has gone off the rails?"

"Yeah!" Emma nodded in agreement, recalling her previous experience. "It seems that all the collections that were resurrected by the gold medal are like this. Their personalities are very different from when they were alive. Look at Lanstro, the book describes him as a brave knight king, but now he is like an impulsive and angry young man."

"."

Compared with the previous Chinese Pavilion, which was full of poetic and picturesque scenes with porcelain, jade and bronze wares complementing each other, the Egyptian Pavilion appeared direct and rough.

As you step in, the first thing that catches your eye is a dazzling golden light. Yes, except for a few stone sculptures, almost all the exhibits here are glittering gold objects.

After walking in the winding corridors for a long time, the Pharaoh finally stopped in front of a collection that was several meters high.

“Is this a Sphinx?!”

"That's right, this is the legendary omniscient Sphinx!"

Looking at the snoring and sleeping lion in front of her, Emma couldn't help but feel curious: "Isn't this thing in front of the Pyramid of Khufu? How come there is a smaller version here?"

"They are just royal treasures buried with me," Pharaoh said casually. "Nothing to be surprised about. But my descendants are really kind. They not only built a palace for me, but also left these treasures with me."

Wednesday's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and he resisted the urge to tell the old man that this was not Egypt but Britain, and that he was dug out of the ground after his country was invaded and exhibited in a foreign country.

"Sphinx?"

The Pharaoh whispered in the Sphinx's ear, "Wake up, Sphinx."

"Hmm~"

With a lazy voice, the sleeping Sphinx was actually awakened. "Are you Khufu?"

"No, no, no, I am... I am the pharaoh who appeared about a thousand years after that era." The Pharaoh quickly clarified.

"Oh, I didn't expect it's been so long."

The Sphinx arched its upper body, stretched its back, looked at the old man and three children in front of it, and asked curiously, "Are you here to ask me for a riddle?"

"Guess a riddle?" Pharaoh shook his head and raised the gold plate in his hand and shook it in front of him. "We came here to wake you up because we want to know where the gem on the gold plate is. I hope you can use your divine power to help us find it."

"Resurrection Medal?!" After seeing the gold medal, Sphinx's eyes widened instantly and he asked in surprise, "This thing is still there?"

"Yeah, not only is it here, but if it weren't for it, none of you would be resurrected."

Wednesday impatiently snatched the gold medal from Pharaoh's hand. She couldn't stand the nagging character of these guys. She pointed to the concave part on the top of the gold medal and asked seriously: "Originally, there should be a ruby ​​inlaid on it, but it is gone now. We need to know the whereabouts of the ruby."

"Oh, you have a really bad temper~" Sphinx raised his eyebrows and looked at Wednesday for a few times, then raised his head and said arrogantly, "I do know where the gem is, but if you want to know, you have to solve one of my riddles."

Without waiting for the other party to respond, he directly read out the riddle: "What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and one leg at night?"

"It's human!"

Emma answered first, then winked at him amusedly, "It seems that your riddle library needs to be updated."

"."

Sphinx looked bewildered. It was the first time he had seen someone rush to answer. When he came to his senses, he immediately shook his head and denied it: "This question doesn't count. Let me ask another one. What starts out very long, then becomes shorter, and finally becomes…"

"It gets longer again at the end, right? It's a shadow!"

Emma chuckled, then said proudly, "How about I give you a question."

She remembered the riddle her uncle had told her, so she asked directly: "Guess an action, 'Standing on both sides of the strait, holding secret documents, machine guns shooting in front, and artillery fire in the back'."

After hearing this, Sphinx was stunned, frowned, and asked in confusion: "What is a machine gun?"

"You can think of it as a bow and arrow."

"Where are the shells?"

"A trebuchet."

"."

The Sphinx scratched his head, and after several minutes, he still couldn't come up with an answer.

Seeing his increasingly ugly expression, Wednesday snorted and raised the gold medal in his hand: "Do you want to know the answer? Tell us where the gem is first."

".well."

The Sphinx sighed and said helplessly, "A long time ago, there was an Egyptian princess named Anmanet."

"Stop, stop."

Wednesday hastily interrupted him as he was about to start rambling. She had a feeling that once this guy started talking, he would never stop and would talk for at least several thousand words.

She pointed at the Sphinx and said solemnly, "Just tell us where the gem is. We don't want to hear how it was lost, or the story behind it."

The Sphinx shrugged and nodded, "In an ancient tomb in the suburbs of London, the remains of a certain leader of the Crusaders are buried there, and the Death Gem was buried with his remains. However."

His eyes became serious. "You have to be careful. If my perception is correct, Anmanet, the cursed person chosen by the god of death, is also in London at this moment. She may be more eager to find the Death Gem than you are."

"Anmanet?" Emma asked puzzledly: "Who is she?"

The Sphinx shrugged. "A mad woman who offered her soul to the god of death and even killed her father because she failed to inherit the throne of Pharaoh. Legend has it that she was made into a mummified body and buried far away from Egypt. But now it seems that she has escaped from the underworld. She controls an army of mummies. If you meet her, you will definitely not be her opponent. Therefore, you must find the gem before she does."

Emma and Wednesday looked at each other and saw the urgency in each other's eyes. Without hesitation, they stuffed the gold medal into their schoolbags, turned around and left the museum to explore various ancient tombs in the suburbs.

"Hey, wait!"

The Sphinx behind them saw them leaving and shouted hurriedly, "You haven't told me the answer to the riddle yet!"

"Shit!" Emma replied without turning back.

"."

The Sphinx looked at the Pharaoh in confusion, "Did she just say poop?"

"That's right." Pharaoh nodded with certainty, "It's just shitting."

"."

Not long after, when Emma and her group were about to ask Megan to project the fastest exit route, deafening sounds of fighting and wailing suddenly came from the direction of the Chinese exhibition hall.

"These guys haven't finished fighting yet?" Emma muttered in confusion.

Everyone stood on tiptoe and looked through the crowd. When they saw the scene in the exhibition hall clearly, they all opened their mouths in shock.

The Knights of the Round Table, who were originally pressing the Terracotta Warriors step by step, were now surrounded by dozens of bronze chariots!
Each chariot was filled with terracotta warriors holding spears and full of vigor. As the resurrected bronze horses galloped vigorously, they surrounded the knights in the middle like a raging sea, as if they would completely drown and swallow the knights at any time!
What shocked them the most was that behind this team of bronze chariots, there was an even larger and more majestic chariot.

The chariot was pulled by four tall and mighty bronze horses, and on both sides, terracotta soldiers holding spears stood like iron towers, guarding the safety of the chariot. At the front of the chariot, a man in black armor was leaning on a long sword, his eyes were like torches, and he looked at the leader of the Knights Lanstro with indifference.

"Anyone who dares to challenge the might of the Great Qin should be punished!" The man's deep and powerful voice echoed in the exhibition hall.

"Man, I don't understand what you are saying, but this must be a misunderstanding. I don't know you... uh, I don't even know you!" Lanstro shouted in confusion.

"Western barbarians."

The man on the chariot sneered at Lanstro's nonsense, then suddenly drew out the long sword in his hand, pointed it at Lanstro and others on the opposite side, and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

"kill--!"

The soldiers around responded one after another, whips were cracked, and the bronze horses with chariots rushed towards Lanstello who was surrounded in the center like arrows!

"Fuck, I surrender! I surrender!!!"

When Lanstro saw the overwhelming enemies and the unstoppable bronze chariots, he instantly lost his fighting spirit, raised his hands high, and knelt in front of the Terracotta Warriors.

However, to his surprise, even after he surrendered, these Terracotta Warriors showed no intention of stopping. Instead, they rushed up even faster, with more excited expressions on their faces.

"Don't you understand?! I surrender!"

Lanstro rolled over to avoid the spear stabbing at him, and shouted to the men on the chariot: "You have no chivalry!"

He dodged left and right in the spear formation, and his originally gorgeous armor had now become tattered and in a mess.

"Puch."

Emma and others who were hiding behind the door of the Egyptian Pavilion and witnessing this scene couldn't help but laugh when they saw how the once glorious Lanstro was now in such a miserable state.

"Who is the man in the chariot? The emperor from the East?" Wednesday asked curiously.

“Really?” Emma shook her head. “That man looks more like a general. But it’s none of our business. Let’s go. We have to get the Death Stone before that Anmanet.”

As they spoke, they ran cautiously in another direction, trying to avoid the furious Eastern general.

However, before they had taken a few steps, heavy footsteps were heard from the front.

In an instant, a group of huge marble statues appeared in front of them like mountains. Zeus, who had previously asked them for help in scratching his itch, was now held in the hands of a giant stone sculpture.

When the old man saw Emma and the others, he immediately smiled smugly and said, "You can leave if you want, but you must leave the treasure that can revive us behind."
