"What is this?" Kottman asked inexplicably while holding the letter of commission in his hand.

"Promise!" Pastor Dalton said with a smile: "It's both for you and me! I remember that you accepted the commission from the British Empire last time, and the result was not very good, right? It won't happen this time, those guys last time It's just a bunch of liars, this time I will give you the most reliable insurance. This is a letter of commission issued by His Majesty the King himself, with His Majesty's seal on it. You can rest assured."

The last commission to investigate the Specter was actually not the Cottman that the British Empire was looking for, but a good show directed and performed by the Spectre. They just wanted to use this as an excuse to gather the capable people from the League of Gentlemen Together, just steal their abilities.

Cottman smiled. Although the results and process of the last investigation were not very good, Cottman never regretted it.He is the kind of person who will never regret it once he makes a choice, and the last investigation at least gave him, an old man, a long-lost passion.

Looking at the letter of appointment in his hand, the content on it is very strange, the King of England actually hired him as a royal archaeological consultant!Let's not talk about whether the royal family has this position, but when did the royal family and archaeology get involved?

Others also saw the contents of the commission, after all, it had their names on it.They knew even less than Cottman, so none of them could figure it out at the moment.

"Archaeology? I'm sorry, I'm a scientist. I can do chemistry and physics, but archaeology..." Dr. Hyde felt that the royal family was a bit nonsensical.It turned out that he was here for archeology... What a waste of talent!

"Mr. Hyde, although it hurts to say that, we don't really need you, what we need is the monster in your body!" Although Pastor Dalton's words were kind, his words were extremely bitter, even poisonous. .Hyde has a second personality because of the incarnation potion, and that personality is Hyde. In fact, Hyde's real name is Henry Jekyll. Because of the second personality, he no longer uses his original name.

Had Pastor Dalton said that before, Hyde would have been very sad. He once wanted to commit suicide because of his second personality, but since the Spectre incident, Hyde accepted his second personality, Mr. Hyde, The two reached a reconciliation and agreement, so he called himself Dr. Hyde.Because of this, facing Dalton's pungent words, he just rolled his eyes and remained silent.

"Let's be clear, gentlemen, so that you don't misunderstand the mission. Except for Mr. Cottman, the rest of the people are here for business! Mr. Hyde will not mention it, you are already in England Committed more than a dozen murders, and dozens of assaults, if you accept the commission, complete the task and swear to secrecy, we will drop your wanted. At least for Henry Jekyll, you can use Hyde lives safely in England."

Dalton did not wait for Hyde to speak, then turned to Captain Nemo and Mina.

"Captain Nemo, as long as you complete the task, your Nautilus will be able to secretly resupply at any port in the British Empire. This is what you have always wanted." The reason why Nemo agreed to the invitation of the League of Gentlemen was also For this reason.

"Ms. Mina, like Mr. Hyde, you have committed many murders. We can reach an agreement with you. As long as you do not violate our direct agreement, you can live in the UK." Mina is a vampire, she needs blood, This has nothing to do with whether she is kind or not, vampires will die if they don't suck blood.But Mina is relatively principled, she only preys on those damned people, and she never touches innocent people.Of course, this doesn't stop her from committing murder.

What's more, Britain is capable of dealing with her.The Church of the Royal Church under the Anglican Church is specialized in this. The reason why Mina didn't trouble her before was because of the personal relationship between Mina and Van Helsing.Now Van Helsing has already gone to see God, and the contradiction between the two has become increasingly prominent.

Now the conditions given by Dalton are undoubtedly very tempting to Mina. She is not alone, she also has her own blood, and she must be responsible for them.

"As for Mr. Steve and Miss Diana... I don't think I need to say more. Although you have done a very good job on the front line, you have committed almost all the crimes you can commit!" Among them, Steve Steve accounted for a small part of the reason. The Americans are not good birds. When he was on the front line, Steve did a lot of things in private.The upper echelons of the Allied Powers are aware of this, but in order to win over the United States, most of them turn a blind eye. Steve is a spy, and it is perfectly normal to seek benefits for his own country.

And Diana is even more extreme, her unique three views and strong strength are enough to make everyone a headache.

Steve obviously knows this very well, so he has no opinion on the task proposed by Dalton. It would be great if he could clean up the mess.

Too bad Diana disagreed.

"No, I'm a warrior. My mission is to defeat Ares, the god of war. I'm not interested in any orders from your king!" The implication is that I don't want to accept this mission.

Dalton was not surprised by Diana's reaction. Three months was enough time for him to collect enough information.Dalton just looked at Steve.

"Mr. Steve, I hope you can understand that the reason why we are willing to trade with you is entirely because of Miss Diana. If Miss Diana refuses to accept the task, then..." The meaning is obvious, Steve is not understand?

Others didn't look down on Steve at all, and the reason why they brought him in was because he could convince Diana.

"Understood!" Steve naturally knew what to do.

"Very good." Dalton then said to Diana: "Don't refuse so quickly, this matter still has a lot to do with you."

"With me?" Diana didn't understand.

"Yes, it is because of your appearance that the royal family and we are determined to carry out this mission. If successful, this will have a very profound impact on the battle situation. It will also be the same for Ares, the god of war you talked about."

After finishing speaking, Dalton turned his head and said to everyone: "I think you know that the current situation of the war is not good. Especially because of Ludendorff's activity, the situation and the extremely critical moment. Our intelligence shows that Ludendorff Dendorf is in deep contact with some monsters that we don't like to talk about. We have reason to believe that the situation of the war will become more complicated and unpredictable. It is in view of this situation that the royal family and the cabinet decided to start this project Top secret mission."

Diana was no longer so resistant because of Dalton's words and Steve's persuasion.She was actually quite curious about what Dalton wanted to gather them together.

"What exactly is the top-secret mission you speak of?"

Dalton didn't speak, just pointed to the letter of appointment.Obviously, a signature is required to participate.Now everyone had nothing to say, and signed their names one by one.Dalton put away the letter of appointment in satisfaction before speaking.

"Didn't I say it before, Miss Diana's appearance made us really determined to start this plan."

"I?"

"That's right! We learned about your abilities and origin, so we thought, since Amazons really exist, do other people who exist in myths and legends also exist?"

At this time Cotman raised his head and asked: "So you want us to open the legendary Immortal, The Lion King, The Dragon Hunter, The Golden Lion of Britain, The Strongest Knight in History-Kai Britannia tomb?"

"Not bad!" Dalton didn't hide anymore. "Mr. Cotman, do you know the legend about this Lion King?"

"The golden immortal lion will wake up from his deep sleep when darkness sweeps the world." Cottman said slowly.But everyone else is a little baffled by this.They had only heard that the Eternal King, King Arthur, would return.

Because this legend is very unpopular, only a few legends will be mentioned, because most of the legends about Kai are mixed in the legend of King Arthur, King Arthur is the protagonist, and Kai has always been a supporting role.In the process of communication, it is natural to ignore some things about the supporting characters, and even add a lot of deeds to the protagonist to highlight the protagonist.

Only legends from almost the fifteenth century ago describe Kay's deeds in detail.Later, because many Christian elements were added to the legend of King Arthur, Kai's sense of existence was greatly weakened, and he could only be reduced to an important supporting role in the early stage of the legend, and he left after Arthur completed the unification.

"It's just a legend."

Although Cottman knew the legend, it didn't mean he would believe it. If the royal family hadn't found him so seriously and told him about it, he would have thought it was a prank.But since the royal family paid such a high price to find him, it means that the royal family must have something in their hands.He now hopes that Dalton will bring out the dry goods.

"What if there is evidence to prove that this is not a legend?" After Cotman clapped his hands, Sister Catherine, who had left before, came out with a box in her arms.Dalton opened the box, took out a slate, and placed it in front of everyone. "This is a stone slab excavated near Leicester about 89 years ago. According to so many years of research, many experts have always believed that this stone slab was a product of about 7000 BC. The text on it is a never before. However, fortunately, this kind of writing has a great origin with Celtic, and there are many similarities between the two, so after years of deciphering, some information was finally obtained 30 years ago."

After speaking, Dalton handed Cottman a piece of paper.Impressively written on it, the legend about Kay that Cottman just said is almost verbatim.

This is very powerful. There is a legend that has been handed down to the present recorded on the stone slabs before 7000 BC. The significance of this is beyond imagination. At least they can confirm one thing, that is, King Arthur and Kay The age of the place is far beyond the 500 AD estimated by previous historians.

It can also prove that King Arthur and the Lion King Kai are indeed real!

"What is the following line?"

"Coordinates, the coordinates of the mausoleum!"

"Have you found the tomb?!!!" Kottman stood up with a whoosh and said excitedly.This is evidence of the existence of mythological characters!This discovery can pinpoint too many things!

"Not bad!" Dalton pouted and said, "I did find it, but the only problem is how to get in."

After talking, Dalton threw out a stack of photos, which showed the entrance of an underground mausoleum and some basic conditions, but there were no more detailed photos.Dalton went on to explain.

"In the ten years after the deciphering of the stone slab, we organized almost twenty times to explore the tomb, and the result was heavy losses every time. Most of them were wiped out. Even if there were survivors, they were completely crazy. So as early as 20 We terminated this operation years ago, and it was not until seven years ago that we noticed you that we were interested in reorganizing the expedition team, and now with the appearance of Miss Diana, we finally made up our minds to restart the operation."

For Dalton's explanation, Kottman didn't care, he just studied those photos wholeheartedly.

The photos of this year are all black and white, and the clarity is worrying, so many details need to be carefully studied.

"Okay, everyone, I will ask Sister Catherine to send you all the information later, and now you must hurry up." Pastor Dalton did not give them time to study the information carefully, but kept urging them to act as soon as possible.

"So urgent?" Dr. Hyde asked in surprise.

Speaking of this, Dalton's face was a bit ugly. "The Germans already know something. Just a few days ago, a group of Germans suddenly raided the ruins and entered it..."

Now everyone understood, no wonder Dalton would tell them everything so happily, otherwise, according to the bureaucratic style of those big shots, it would be impossible to act so vigorously and offer them such good trading conditions.

……

Soon the group boarded the train to Leicester led by Sister Catherine.This Sister Catherine was the person Dalton named and inserted into the team, and it was regarded as a surveillance of them. Neither Steve nor Cottman paid much attention to this.

This matter is too important, and it is normal for the government to put people in. In fact, if the government didn't put people in this time, they would feel guilty instead. After all, the experience of being cheated last time is still vivid.

It’s just that they didn’t know this Sister Catherine. This nun only talked to them when they first met, and never communicated with any of them after that. Steve talked to her because of his professional habits. But the nun just prayed silently with her rosary and never responded.

As companions who are going to take risks together, it is necessary to understand each other, but this nun obviously has no interest in communicating with them, which makes Steve, who is temporarily acting as the team leader, very distressed.

"Cottman, do you know this nun?" In the end Steve had no choice but to ask Cottman for help.

If you want to say that you have a wide range of friends, it belongs to Kottman.The old man's life experience is so rich that it can definitely be written into a series of best-selling novels, more than a dozen of them.When the League of Gentlemen was organized a few years ago, most of them were Cottman connections.

"I don't know her, but she looks like she's from the Church of the Holy Church. I don't know much about this organization. They usually only deal with supernatural events within the British Empire, so Mina should know a little more. But you just need to know a little bit, the famous demon hunter Van Helsing is from this organization."

Van Helsing is the most famous demon hunter in modern times. He has traveled all over Europe and has been active for more than four centuries. He has hunted countless ghosts and monsters. Even the Holy See has a deep relationship with Van Helsing. Some well-informed people in Europe The name is definitely well-known among the people.Steve naturally knew this guy.

Although he hadn't seen it either, Van Helsing had died decades earlier.Speaking of it, this is also an anecdote. Van Helsing lived for four centuries, hunting and killing dark creatures everywhere. Many people even suspected that he was really a soldier sent by God to the world, and he was immortal.

As a result, more than 100 years ago, after Van Helsing killed Count Dracula, the king of vampires, he began to age rapidly, and finally died of old age decades ago.

Closer to home, Cottman's meaning is obvious: this Sister Catherine is definitely not simple.

After getting this answer, Steve could only calm down.He wanted detailed information on everyone out of professional habit.They are used to knowing the situation, and then pick and use the information that is useful to them.

Just like in Paradise Island, when Steve discovered that Diana was very yearning for the outside world, he used this to let Diana bring him out.

This is entirely due to the professional habits of an agent, there is no right or wrong.

When Steve, who got nothing, sat back beside Diana, he didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains.

"That woman has an ominous aura!"

After Steve sat back, Diana suddenly spoke without end.

"What?" Steve asked.

"I don't know either, but let's be careful." After saying that, Diana ignored Steve.Diana was a little uncomfortable with Steve's behavior this day.She felt that Steve ignored her too much.

After all, Diana was a woman.

Steve:  …

**********
About the next morning, a group of people followed Sister Catherine to an underground ruins.

The entrance to the entire ruins is 200 meters underground, and on the ground is an aristocratic manor. Although the owner of the manor belongs to a wealthy businessman in name, the actual owner is the British royal family, and the people who receive them are also members of the royal family, perhaps secretly. roles like this.

The royal family of this era is much more powerful than that of later generations.

But this is all off topic, the royal family cannot give a chance to let a group of outsiders spy on the secrets of the royal family.So there were no pleasantries, and they were taken directly to the entrance of the ruins.

The ruins are built in a huge underground cave, and the entrance is a huge stone gate-shaped building. The stone gate has been blown down, and the broken boulders are all around the entrance. Seeing these precious cultural relics being blown to pieces, the test Terman, a Xibei archaeologist, felt distressed.

This is a precious cultural relic!
But right now, Kottman is not in the mood to explore these, because there are more important things waiting for them to discover.
