Countess' lover

The goddess Orthea settled in the temple.For nearly a year, she spent most of her time in the study room of the temple to learn about Egyptian culture, and a small amount of time went to the high priest for advice or quietly followed him to do other things.

Most of the books here are heavy mudstone slabs, and very few are paper made of papyrus.It took Orthea a lot of time to understand the text, and in the end she had to use a magic spell to solve this problem.Thanks to Goddess Hecate, who is her mother, she practiced Orthea hard for a period of time after learning of the arrangement of Goddess of Fate.

Apart from the days of study, what excites Orthea the most is the arrival of the priest.As expected of the small-scale sacrifices after the death of the nobles, or the large-scale sacrifices such as the Wenfeng Festival with Easter Egg Banquets, she was extremely excited. The atmosphere was far beyond the loneliness of the underworld.

Orthea had heard the news that the water of the Nile River had turned green two months ago, and Imerton persuaded her to wait patiently for two months before the long-awaited Nile River Flooding Festival finally arrived.

Althea packed herself up early and went to Imerton.The high-ranking high priest always appeared to preside at the last moment, and would not participate in the carnival after the sacrifice.Even so, when Althea found Imerton, he began to bathe in the holy lake very early.

He bathes almost three to five times a day.Orthea slipped in through the door, holding her head and looking at the high priest in the lake.Probably because she caught her too many times while bathing, Imerton would also wear clothes while bathing, and dry them with divine power after getting up.But Orthea felt that his work was useless.

"Imorton—" She sat by the pool, her bare legs slapping the water.

"Goddess Orthea." The high priest looked very calm.One year is enough for Orthea to get used to the life in Egypt, enough for the high priest who was still a little green at the beginning to become more mature.This can be seen from the fact that she is increasingly unable to understand what he is thinking.

The high priest strolled out of the pool of gods, his bare chest showing a brilliant and deep golden color under the sunlight.The breathable white linen skirt stuck tightly to his legs because of the humidity, which is why Orthea thought he was doing useless work.What about showering with clothes on?Don't you still want to show off your figure in front of her?Not to mention that his upper body is always bare, she already knows the size of the thing underneath.

Orthea pressed her forehead and jumped into the holy lake gracefully, letting the cold water wrap herself.

Imerton had dried his body with divine power, and stood on the shore at this moment, watching Althea float up from the water with some helplessness.She didn't intend to take a bath at all, she just dipped back and forth in the holy lake before going ashore.

Thin, almost sheer white linen clings to her body, and she wears nothing but a skirt.The wet fabric outlines a beautiful figure, and the two small red cherry blossoms are in the color of henna flowers.

Imerton turned his head, suppressed the slight dry mouth physiological reaction, and whispered a psalm in praise of God.Before he met the goddess Althea, he never thought that one day, chanting prayers would become a tool to calm and relieve impulses.He was full of apologies to God in his heart, especially when what he missed was still Goddess.

"Did my dear High Priest dare not look at his goddess again?" Althea's hand slid over his shoulder, and Imerton saw a string of crystal drops of water in her neck.

"I'm ashamed of Emerton, my will is not as strong as you expected." He regarded Althea's move as a test for himself.

Orthea couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing. Imerton was definitely the smartest polymath she knew in Egypt, but she didn't understand why he was cute and silly in some respects?Does she look like the type to be bored enough to test humans in this way?

"Not so firm - how about I help you cultivate more?" She grabbed the high priest's hand and put it on her waist, slowly moving it up.Imerton's stiffness and stupefaction made Althea feel very fulfilled.

"Oh, Goddess Althea..."

"Huh? How do you feel?" She paused and held back her smile. Imerton's face was about to bleed, but she couldn't help but continue to stimulate him.Orthea took two steps forward, allowing Imerton's arms to wrap her around her, and her fingertips touched the softness of her left breast. "Is it true that your respect and love for God has become deeper? Or, your will to serve God has become stronger?"

Imerton didn't know how to answer. He probably didn't hear Althea's joke at all, because his mind was blank.As if some terrifying thought was about to explode, at the last moment, Orthea finally let go of him.

Almost at the moment when his sanity returned, the high priest entered the holy lake at the fastest speed.He was chanting something aloud, and Orthea probably sounded like a sentence of confession to the gods.

She did not expect such a result.Orthea was angry and funny, said loudly "I'll wait for you outside" and turned to leave.But what the high priest didn't know was that at the moment she turned around, she said another sentence, which was also the beginning of the high priest's nightmare.

"It seems that my dear Emerton still needs to get used to it. How can he serve the goddess well?" There is no doubt that the goddess here refers to Althea.

When Imerton tidied himself up and reappeared in front of Althea, he had once again become the omnipotent high priest exuding divine brilliance in people's eyes.And Orthea didn't intend to tease him in public, and quietly hid her body and followed Imerton.

The temple was crowded with people, their eyes were wild, and they were all dressed in their best clothes.Orthea had no doubt that if given the chance, they would be more than happy to come over and lick the high priest's toes the next moment.

The high priest manifested divine power to his followers.Countless black scarabs gushed out from all directions, forming a mysterious and ancient pattern under Imerton's control, and finally disappeared before people's eyes.

The black bugs were indeed not very good-looking, but Orthea still caught a few of them quietly with divine power while others were not paying attention.The high priest, who was concentrating on "acting", looked exactly where she was, his gaze was as sharp as a vulture in the desert.Feeling strange and a little awed.

Apart from the status of a god and the divine power from her parents, even after a year of study in other aspects, she is still ashamed to face Immorton.Fortunately, there is only one Imerton, and he is absolutely loyal to the gods.

According to legend, the Nile River flooded because the goddess Isis lost her husband and cried bitterly. Tears of grief fell into the Nile River.In the literature read by Orthea, although the flooding of the Nile River destroyed the good buildings and fields along the river, it also brought rich soil to Egypt.Because of this, the worship of the Nile River by the Egyptians has reached a very high level.

Imerton led some people to join the pharaoh and civil and military officials, and went to the Nile River together.No one noticed the vacancy next to the high priest, but Imerton knew that it was Althea.

The priest sent the statue of the river god into the Nile River, and children from a few years old to the elderly in their decades bowed their heads to pay respects.Then the high priest stood at the forefront, facing the height of the Nile, and recited aloud the prayers of the God of the Perfect Nile.

Praise the Nile / Long live the Nile!

You came to this land,

Come safely and give life to Egypt...

He produces what satisfies every desire

and never get bored,

He made his own strength a shield in his hand.

……

No one knows how the high priest did it, and his voice was smoothly transmitted to everyone's ears.The waves of the Nile rolled and beat against the banks.A piece of yellow sand covered the sky and the sun came, and people could only see the golden light of the high priest who was independent of the river and surrounded by the sun.

"The High Priest—"

"The great sun god—"

Countless exclamations came out, and the crowd knelt on the ground and rushed towards the high priest as if they were crazy.Imerton didn't stop him, he just finished the prayer calmly, bowed his head slightly to Althea next to him, and was as devout as ever.

It is undeniable that at this moment, Orthea's heart was greatly touched.When the high priest worshiped by everyone bowed her head to her, at that moment she seemed to understand what faith is.However, an emotion that she dared not touch was quietly sprouting in her heart.
