When the children were arguing about where to travel, Arthur came to the door.
"Hi! Three little princesses, how are you doing recently? Do you still remember Uncle Arthur?"
Arthur greeted the three little ones with a cheerful face... To be honest, Arthur didn't like children. He thought children were fragile and unreasonable. They were very troublesome. If an adult lost his temper with you or something else, you could beat him up if you were unhappy. Even if it was a woman, you could beat her up if you were cruel enough.
But children... Although he didn't like children, Arthur felt that anyone who could hurt children was definitely a scum among scum.
Theresa remembered Arthur, so she waved her hand as a greeting. Emma naturally remembered him even more, but she didn't like Arthur because he always smelled fishy. Little Bernard tilted his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember who the bearded man in front of him was.
"Who are you?!"
Little Bernardo was sticking her hands on her waist...I don't know if she had that thing or not, because children don't have waists.
"Um... I've been here a few times before." Arthur didn't know how to answer this little cutie in front of him.
Arthur and Kay's relationship... can't be said to be very good, just acquaintance. After all, Arthur's activities are in the sea, and he rarely sets foot on land. The few times Arthur passed by New York were mostly to visit the local snakes, mostly for courtesy.
After all, if Arthur said he knew nothing about Kai and his mother, he would be deceiving himself.
Fortunately, Arthur is very open-minded. After all, his mother is still in her prime, while his father is almost 70 years old. This is indeed not easy to deal with. Moreover, after finally meeting Atlanna, his father untied his knot and embraced his own life. He found himself a girlfriend, a flower shop owner. They live a good life.
If that's the case, why should Arthur continue to worry about it?
He is not a real child, he does not need his parents to accompany him to fall asleep.
Everyone has their own life.
But the embarrassment is still there, he still can't accept a stepfather who looks much younger than him... Although Kai's real age is redundant to be his ancestor... Well, the more likely possibility is that the two have no blood relationship at all.
After all, Kai was a Chinese in his previous life, and after traveling through time, he became an ancient Celt. Later, the ancient knight kingdom left the earth with Merlin... With this calculation, the gap between the two is even greater.
In any case, because of the embarrassment, Arthur basically avoids seeing Kay as much as possible, and when they meet, they just exchange a few polite words...what else?
As a result, he was not familiar with the children in Kai's family at all.
"Um...Is Kai here? I have something important to discuss with him."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Curry. The master has gone out for something and he probably won't be back in the near future. If you have anything important to say, perhaps you could tell me first." Ah Fu played the role of a butler very well.
"Um... I don't know if it's serious. I mean, we lost one of Kai's things."
Arthur said a little embarrassedly.
At present, the outside world knows nothing about the God-Slayer Gul. In fact, this thing cannot be publicized at all... You know, Gul is aiming to destroy the world. If this is announced, the whole world will be in chaos for a while, especially those old blacks.
It's really not discrimination, but every time this kind of thing happens, the black brothers are the absolute main force.
For example, during the period when political correctness was rampant, many black people would take to the streets to protest because of various violent law enforcement incidents against black people or similar incidents, but many of these protests eventually evolved into riots and robberies!
The original demands have changed because of the actions of these looters. At a time when more than 4000 million people in the United States are unemployed, many people, especially those living at the bottom of society with no one to rely on, have found an excuse for robbery, which is "I am robbing my enemies, those who have exploited me, those who have "oppressed" me, and those who look down on us, and they should give us compensation."
This is not the first time, not in the United States, not in the world. Why do so many people take advantage of the chaos to get small profits? How is this psychological mechanism formed, and what is the economic explanation?
As the saying goes, "The law does not hold everyone responsible"!
Ten citizens looting a store is still robbery, and a thousand citizens looting a supermarket is still the same. However, with limited police force, the cost of "punishing the masses" continues to increase with the increase in the number of crimes. This cost is borne by other people who have not committed crimes, which will inevitably form a vicious cycle. If things escalate from robbery to assaulting the police, for example, ten citizens beating up a policeman is called a mob attacking the police, and you should be arrested and sentenced; a thousand citizens beating up a hundred policemen is called a riot, and there is nothing you can do if you are arrested and shot; 100,000 citizens beating up 3,000 policemen is called treason, and if it succeeds, it is called revolution; the standard of "the masses" is not only the number, but also depends on who holds the "law" in the end. However, the collective bad incidents caused by the mentality of "the law does not punish the masses" fundamentally hide multiple problems such as social contradictions, class confrontation, national quality, and transformation mentality, which cannot be solved by the rule of law in a short time.
There is a way to break the "no punishment for the masses" situation, and that is to use the "random strategy". For example, the US police are using the random strategy. When faced with looting and smashing, they will randomly arrest the most extreme "troublemakers", beat them with sticks, and punish them severely according to the law.
For example, in the United States, in order to solve the problem of parking fee evasion, the police need to catch the evaders and impose fines. If every evader is caught, the number of police officers required is very large. So the police increase the amount of fines and relax supervision. Assuming that the fine is 50 times the parking fee, then theoretically, if people are caught once in 50 times of evading the fee, the economic cost is equal to the normal cost of paying the fee. The police only need to ensure that the probability of evaders being caught is higher than 1/50 to motivate people not to evade the fee.
During the riots in the United States, from most of the known news footage, you can see that most of those who robbed stores were still black people. I am not discriminating against black people, but it is a fact that the proportion of black people with lower quality is larger. Regardless of whether you still have income or whether the police have killed anyone, it should be handled by the law. Robbery is pure selfishness. They are not avenging the dead. They are more taking advantage of the fire and the chaos to seek personal gain. They do not deserve sympathy if they are caught and sentenced.
Due to the extremely high cost of education, 99% of black families cannot get a good education, and most people do not have the opportunity to go to college. Many even drop out of school at an early age and live in slums, where violent crime, gangs, drugs, and sex trade are rampant. In addition, the lack of education makes it difficult for them to establish a correct financial management concept. Often, many people are new to the Command Curse, and they squander the money within a few days of receiving it. Few people save money to change their fate, and only a very small number of people devote themselves to their children's education.
This kind of thing is very common.
If people knew that the Earth was really going to be destroyed soon, God knows what would happen... Never underestimate the destructive power of this mob.
So all along, Ger's affairs have been kept strictly confidential.
Arthur naturally didn't know who Gol was, and he didn't even know who stole the artifact. He just knew that the man was weird, and that the beating hurt him a little... He was still okay, but his poor brother Orm was different, he almost died.
After all, compared to Arthur who never believed in Poseidon, Orm grew up in the Kingdom of Atlantis. Although Atlantis was very developed, it was a theocratic country. Religion was very important in this country, so important that they began to believe in Poseidon from birth. It was as simple and necessary as breathing and eating.
Of course, this is also because the teachings of Poseidon are too simple and crude, and not so oppressive to human nature. (Poseidon is not a good guy, he did less bad things than Zeus, but he also did a lot of bad things. The one with the best moral character among the three brothers turned out to be Hades, the least respected and most hated god of the underworld...)
But religion is religion. If you don’t believe in it, you will never understand the serious meaning of religion to its believers.
When Orm learned that what was taken away was the real Trident of Poseidon... although the golden trident used in the Atlantis Empire was often called the Trident of Poseidon... but that was more of a gilding and an expression of respect for Poseidon, and the stolen Trident of Poseidon was the real artifact of Poseidon, an artifact created by Poseidon through the three Cyclops, and also a symbol of Poseidon... Orm went crazy.
No Poseidon believer could tolerate such a thing... In fact, when they were fighting against Black Manta, they noticed this strange-looking metal trident that looked like a randomly growing golden coral. The power of this weapon could be described as explosive.
Mela and Atlanna didn't say anything at the time, and they didn't ask any more questions.
But now…and then Om was almost killed.
Until now, Arthur still didn't take this matter seriously... He thought it was another guy like Black Manta, spying on the power of the artifact. Of course, it wasn't that Arthur was irresponsible, but he never thought that this thing would be related to the destruction of the world!
"Things?" Emma asked, tilting her head.
Alfu nodded and looked at Arthur.
Arthur was even more embarrassed: "It was the Trident of Poseidon that Kai lent to my mother..."
Emma's eyes suddenly widened!
As the most mature child among the three, Emma has always been valued by Kai. Kai's favorite is of course little Bernard. After all, she is the cutest human cub now. Once she is over ten years old, she will start to be uncute and become annoying.
The one who cares the most is Theresa... There's nothing he can do about it, because she always looks like a bad girl. Kai is really afraid that one day when he comes back, Theresa will come with a bearded Beatle or biker and tell him, "Dad, this is my boyfriend..." Kai always feels that he will test his shooting skills on the spot to see if they have deteriorated.
So the greatest concern is for Theresa.
He was most confident in Emma, and he thought she could know more. This child had leadership skills since she was young... Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't have gone to rescue the prisoner... The most outrageous thing was that Emma actually found the correct escort route through information from all sides, and she almost succeeded in rescue.
In short, Kai never treated Emma as an ordinary child, but always gave her the greatest freedom and trust.
For example, Emma was the only one who had seen all the artifacts on Kai's body, and even touched them with her own hands.
If she wasn't so young, Kai would even think about leaving one for her to use for self-defense.
Kai doesn't use the artifact much, it's just a collection at most. According to the Chinese people's thinking, one's own things should be given to one's children.
By the way, I have to say that Kai never planned to have children of his own.
No other reason, it's not suitable.
After Kai traveled through time, he traveled through time and space, which was not bad and acceptable. But this body was not lost, he just used this body to revive. As for the child of this body, whether it was Kai's or someone else's, it was hard to say.
So he simply didn't have any children. No worries, he didn't need to worry about retirement anyway... Well, Meila would be disappointed, Kai didn't plan to leave behind a so-called bloodline heir.
Emma knew how terrifying those artifacts were, including the Trident of Poseidon.
This artifact may not be as terrifying as the Ice Box, which can send an entire planet into an ice age, but it also has its own special features. It is a teleportation key that can teleport to any place on the earth, and it can also summon those terrible Titan beasts!
These two effects are more important than its own power.
"Oh my god... that thing, how could you lose it?"
Emma's scream made Arthur even more embarrassed. Although this matter was not strictly his responsibility, it didn't matter to Arthur at all.
Ah Fu's expression also became serious.
He also knew about this artifact. After all, Kingsman's headquarters was in the inner world, and the original way to travel to the inner world was the Trident of Poseidon. However, this problem was eventually solved with the help of the dark elves. After all, we can't let Kai keep an eye on Kingsman all the time, right? Then who is whose servant?
The dark elves possess teleportation technology, and it is quite advanced.
This is also the reason why all the Kingsman finally moved to the center of the earth, which is more secretive, safer, and more advanced.
Most importantly, the holy city of Camelot is right there.
Anyone who knew the legend of King Arthur knew about this city, but of course no one knew that this city actually existed.
Kingsman felt extremely honored to be able to live in such a headquarters.
Of course, as a confidant, he also knew that the inner world of the earth was hiding a bigger secret, otherwise the immortal would not have spent so much energy to create such a world. However, so far, Ah Fu did not know what was hidden in it. Of course, those big monsters were scary enough.
