Pharaoh

In the past two days, the ministers and priests in Egypt have been quite uncomfortable.

On weekdays, they have become accustomed to the arbitrariness of the aloof young Pharaoh, and they only need to carry out the orders given by the Pharaoh.

In the past two days, the king's younger brother has acted as the government agent, and that young and immature face once made all the ministers and priests quite worried.

Dealing with Egyptian government affairs is no joke. For such a young brother who grew up among the common people...in fact, they didn't have much hope.

Although the young Wangdi has a very similar face to the young king, but for some reason, if the young Pharaoh possesses a majesty that is so sharp and dazzling that people dare not look directly at him, then Wangdi is completely On the opposite extreme, that soft and lovely face makes it impossible to admire him at all.

To be honest, it looks really easy to bully.

This is the impression of the young prince by those who can only occasionally glance at him from a distance because they cannot get close to the prince who has been with the young pharaoh for a long time.

People who were slightly relieved by the appearance of the king's younger brother were just a little less anxious because they thought about the inheritance of the Egyptian royal family, and they did not expect the younger brother to replace the pharaoh at all.

Everyone has their own ideas, and of course, someone will stand up to oppose it—let alone whether this person is out of absolute loyalty to the Pharaoh or purely trying to stir things up.

"I don't admit it!"

The minister said loudly, "We have not received the order of Pharaoh! Brother Wang, you are not qualified to stand in that position! I will not obey your order!"

"Hmm...you mean you don't want to obey my orders?" The young Wangdi frowned a little bit embarrassedly.

"Yes, I am only loyal to the Pharaoh, I—"

The minister replied, with a look of death on his face, and his tone of voice became more and more high-spirited.

"Oh, then you go home."

Brother Wang's understatement suddenly choked up the minister who was about to give an impassioned and impassioned speech.

"Since you don't want to listen to my orders, go home and stay there. When Brother Wang recovers from his illness, you can come back and listen to his orders."

Brother Wang's words seemed to be very considerate and understanding.

But the minister who was easily kicked out of the hall and out of the center of Egyptian power was very sad and angry.

Even if he wanted to play tricks, the guards summoned by the high priest Mahat carried out the first order of the king's brother thoroughly and escorted the minister back home.

As a result, several people who were ready to move shrank back.

Brother Wang said that the Pharaoh asked him to act as an agent of the government—if this is false, judging from the fact that the high priest Seth personally sent him to the throne, and the high priest Mahat obeyed him, even if it is false, it will change. If it is true, maybe the younger brother will sit on the throne in the near future, and the unlucky minister will naturally never come here again; When the king came back, if he found out that someone was embarrassing his younger brother... that minister would be even more unlucky.

"Leave this matter to Asis to handle with full authority."

"Mahat, it's up to you to do this."

"Seth, you settle this matter within today."

The above are the words that Wang Di said the most.

From the beginning to the end, he never made any idea that belonged to him.For simple matters, just throw them to the three great priests to deal with. For more troublesome things, ask the opinions of many ministers, and choose the suggestion that most people agree with.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people who don't know the truth, this younger brother is too uninhibited.But Wang Di's actions made many senior ministers secretly nod their heads in rejoicing.

This younger brother is obviously much smarter than rumored.

At least, Brother Wang is very clear about what to do and what not to do, and any behavior he exhibits is right to the point, rather than foolishly insisting on taking on things beyond his capabilities.

The game is very self-aware.

Not to mention that he had no experience in ruling a country at all, not to mention that he had just arrived and didn't know anything about the situation in Egypt, so he was completely blind.

A matter of national importance, one sentence is related to the livelihood of tens of millions of people, how can he let him be self-righteous and give orders at will.

Rather than letting him represent the government, it is better to say that he is a symbol.

Since Yatum said that the three priests are trustworthy, he will naturally entrust the matter to them, and he only needs to agree to their opinions as the king's brother.

Because of the sudden appearance of the king's brother, sitting in the palace, the vaguely turbulent king's capital seemed to calm down, and the residents of the king's capital breathed a sigh of relief.

At least judging from the current situation, things haven't gotten out of hand, and what the residents of the capital are looking for is nothing more than a stable life.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this seemingly peaceful capital is already undercurrents.

In the early morning, two secret urgent reports were sent to the younger brother who was acting as the government official.

Lower Egypt was unstable, and Lower Egyptian officials secretly planned to launch riots to separate from Upper Egypt.

On the northern border, other countries aggressively invaded.

"Let me handle the matter of lower Egypt, Mahat, you go to the northern border to take over the army."

The young priestess made a decisive decision after thinking for a while.

The more this is the case, the more decisive it is.

A second of hesitation may cause irreparable regrets.

"You really want to leave the capital?"

The young Wangdi gently shook the papyrus in his hand, "Even I can see that, Tiaohulishan... Someone is deliberately leading you away from the capital. As soon as you leave, something will happen to the capital."

"There is no choice but to jump into the trap even if it is a trap." Mahat smiled wryly, "Only Isis, who is the descendant of the High Priest of Lower Egypt, can suppress the priests and officials of Lower Egypt, and the army in the north as the One of the strongest armies in the territory... It was built by my family alone, and only I can control it."

"Mahat, let's leave now." Isis said, her beautiful face was very gloomy, obviously stepping into a trap designed by others made the wise priestess feel very bad at the moment.

Her gaze shifted to Sisi, "Seth, it's up to you to protect the Pharaoh and the younger brother."

Seth didn't answer, he just nodded.

Isis bowed lightly and stepped back. When she was about to approach the door, she hesitated a little.

Priestess's beautiful pupils flickered a few times as if phantoms were shaking, as if hesitating for something.

Then, she resolutely looked up at Seth.

"If something cannot be done... the lives of the pharaoh and his younger brother are the priority!"

Seth was taken aback.

Looking at the priestess' determined gaze, he slowly frowned.

He seems to be extremely difficult, but he does not hesitate to put his head down heavily.

——The life of Pharaoh and his younger brother is the priority in everything, even if it means abandoning the king's capital and thousands of people under his feet——

Priestess' eyes once again fell on the young prince, and she looked at him with unprecedented dignity.

"Your Highness, no matter where you come from, no matter who you think of yourself..."

"In the eyes of all Egyptians, you are our brother in Egypt."

She slowly lowered her body and knelt on her knees.

This may be the first time she prayed wholeheartedly to this young prince.

"Anyway, please don't forget..."

"Where the Pharaoh and you are, that is where Egypt is."

The beautiful priestess got up and stepped back.

Violet-toned pupils watched her go away, and the young king of Egypt was silent.

"What are you thinking?"

Seth asked.

He looked at Brother Wang's silent side cheek, that immature face had gradually lost the expression that he had accused him of being frivolous and playful in the past, which was out of line with the royal family.

Brother Wang became more and more silent day by day, as if he was gradually approaching the direction he expected, and he would no longer make any moves that would make him angry.

But Seth wasn't happy.

What are you thinking?

In the end, he still didn't get an answer from the silent Wang brother.

In the dead of night, the moon hangs high in the night sky.

The palace was also very quiet, only the occasional light footsteps of the guards walking back and forth.

Occasionally, a very soft chirping of insects can be heard from the grass or tree trunks.

The warm night wind swayed the buds and green leaves, and the crown of the tree shook slightly and rustled.

All this, however, was inaudible from the Pharaoh's chamber at the top of the tower, which stood at the highest point of the palace.

That high place is more silent than anywhere, and it may only hear the sound of the wind blowing high in the night sky.

The young Pharaoh of Egypt and his younger brother slept here.

There was a sudden loud noise, and the high tower of the palace shook violently.

The sleeping brother Wang suddenly woke up from the violent shaking.

The ceiling was shaking, the floor was shaking, the decorations in the room fell to the ground and smashed to pieces, and the tables and chairs rolled on the floor.

The maids in charge of the night watch uttered terrified and shrill cries.

what happened?

earthquake?

Because I grew up in earthquake-prone Japan, this was my first reaction to the game.

As soon as his feet hit the ground, there was another loud bang, accompanied by a violent tremor in the room.

He staggered, lost his balance and fell back on the bed, lying beside the still sleeping Pharaoh.

A stone pillar in the room could not withstand such a strong vibration and fell down suddenly.

Amidst the shrill shouts of the maids, the young prince, who fell on the bed and had no time to react, could only watch helplessly as the huge stone pillar slammed down on the sleeping Pharaoh and himself.

Dust was flying and gravel was flying.

The only big bed in the pharaoh's bedroom was hit by the collapsed stone pillar and buried under the rubble.

Ke Ya, who had just arrived here, pushed away the group of screaming maids, rushed up, frantically picked up the pile of rubble with his hands, and shouted loudly for his brother who was buried under the rubble.

The other maids and guards immediately reacted, and regardless of the violently shaking floor and other precarious stone pillars, they gathered around one after another, and together with Ke Ya, they tried their best to move away the pile that was pressing the pharaoh and his brother tightly. huge gravel.

In case the Pharaoh and his younger brother both...

No one dared to think about this terrible thought. They just mechanically and desperately pushed aside the accumulated gravel with their hands, completely ignoring that their hands were dripping with blood from being scratched by the water chestnut of the gravel.

However, in such a violently shaking and treacherous environment, how can dozens of people easily remove that huge pile of rubble.

Once Egypt loses its pharaoh, loses its gods...

Just when everyone was in despair, they found that the pile of rubble suddenly floated up one by one.

No, they didn't float up by themselves, but were pushed out by some internal force.

"Puff~~"

"Puff puff ~~~"

"Pfft—"

Numerous fluffy, round chestnut balls pushed away the gravel that covered them, and flew out one after another. They were firmly guarded in the middle, and the pharaoh and his young brother, who were unharmed, appeared in the already desperate world. In front of everyone.

Half of the big bed was sunken by the pillars, and the king brother, who was kneeling on the head of the bed which was still relatively intact, hugged the sleeping Pharaoh tightly in his arms.

The chestnut ball, which was called out by its owner at the critical moment, jumped happily for a while, and the many balls gradually turned back into one.

The whole palace shook violently again.

Brother Wang gritted his teeth and looked up. He couldn't see anything clearly in the dark night.

He entrusted the sleeping Pharaoh to Ke Ya.

"Liziqiu, you stay here to protect them, you must not let Brother Wang get hurt!"

"Pfft!"

Chestnut Ball's chubby body shook up and down, showing that it understood the master's meaning.

It flew to the side of the sleeping Pharaoh, its round eyes opened wide, and it looked around vigilantly.

One after another chestnut balls appeared in the air, gradually surrounding the young Pharaoh and the maids and guards.

"Your Highness, where are you going? It's dangerous outside!"

The black-haired bodyguard who faithfully carried out the order of the king brother guarding the sleeping Pharaoh saw the young brother running out of the room in astonishment.

"Take Brother Wang to a safe place—"

Brother Wang, who had already run away, only left these words echoing in the corridor.

The game that ran out of the room ran towards the open-air balcony at the highest point of the palace.

Along the way, from time to time, there were broken stones that could not withstand the violent vibration and fell down.

When he ran to the huge open-air balcony, he was already covered in dust.

In the dark night, the moon is in the sky.

The young Wangdi opened his eyes wide——

A huge jet-black body that almost blended into the night, eyes as red as blood.

With an almost unbelievably beautiful and terrifying posture, the black dragon spreads its wings and glides in the moonlight, leisurely.

The flames from its mouth burned half of the palace, and the fiery flames lit up the night sky.

The shadow of the black dragon's huge wings hung over the towers of the palace, and over the face of the young prince who looked up at him wide-eyed.

Every time it hit fiercely, the palace trembled.

Red-eyed black dragon!

Why are you here-

The young Wangdi stared blankly at this powerful and familiar monster, feeling at a loss for a while.

At this time, the black dragon's red eyes looked in his direction.

As if being guided by someone, the red-eyed black dragon swooped down on him with a wave of its wings.

It opened its mouth, and even the cold light flashing from the huge sharp teeth could be seen.

Violent bright red flames shot from its mouth towards the defenseless young prince standing on the open-air balcony——
