From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

In the city of Asiut, where the living world and the underworld are superimposed, the craftsman Karam quickly found the viewing platform for the living reserved for the dead when he built the afterlife city, and led Erich and others to quickly avoid it. There.

Unexpectedly, there were already other people on the viewing platform.

Erich heard that majestic and powerful voice so familiar, she quickly called to Karam and Gregor who were walking in the front, supported by Nanna and Senmut, and slowly stepped up the steps leading to the terrace of the small building, Appeared on the living viewing platform on the top floor.

There were about a dozen strangers standing in front of her—Kalam called them strangers because it was immediately obvious that they were not Egyptian.

They all wore desert-coloured linen robes and hoods.Compared with the Egyptians, their skin and eyes are lighter.A lock or two of golden-brown hair secretly hangs from under the headscarf of a few people.

At the moment they are helping one or two companions with their injuries.Fortunately, the injuries of the injured people were not serious, and most of them were traumatic injuries such as dislocations and injuries.

The leader was an unusually tall young man with distinctive facial features, a broad forehead, high browbones, deep eye sockets, and a face with sharp edges and corners, which was very memorable.

When the man saw Alixie who was being supported by Nanna, his two sword eyebrows were instantly raised, and there was no doubt that there was a smile on his lips.

His sharp eyes greeted her happily when he saw her for the first time, as if to say: So it is you——

Immediately he began to look up and down Erich's dress, occasionally scanning her already noticeable waist.He was a little surprised, but never more than surprised.

This look is quite impolite to Nanna and the others.But there was always an unconcealable enthusiasm in this man's eyes, as if he was saying:

It turns out that being able to see you with my own eyes is such a feeling!

I said why I had to travel all the way to Upper Egypt, so it was just to see you!

Ai Lixi was furious on the spot, she never expected to see this man here, let alone the fact that he made no secret of the fact that he recognized her.

You know, the other party has only seen his own spirit body.

Yes, on the only viewing platform prepared for the living in Asiut at this moment, the one who rushed here before Eliche and the others was none other than the Hittite prince, Karsha.

From the moment she saw him, Alicia felt that she was grinding her teeth all the time, and there were 1 irritable voices roaring in her heart:

Brat, what are you doing in Egypt?

When she was in Tanis, she had negotiated with the Hittite prince, and the two parties agreed in three chapters... no, four chapters.

Her first request was to let the other party leave Tanis quickly, and not return within a year.

At that time, she only thought that Tanis was closer to Hittite and had more interests in Hittite.The Hittite prince was therefore strictly ordered to leave Tanis.

Unexpectedly, it was true that this person had left Tanis, but he actually went to Upper Egypt.

At this moment, the Hittite prince Kalsha showed an expression that clearly recognized him, and he was ready to take a step forward at any time: "His Royal Highness First Princess..."

Beside Elyse, the head maid Nanna and the high priest Senmut took a step almost at the same time, blocking in front of Elyse.

Especially Senmut, his eyes swept across Karsha's face, quickly glanced at the rest of the people, and immediately recognized Karsha's identity, his eyes fell back again, and he tried his best to use his body to completely cast on Karsha. Alicia blocked her view.

When the two men met for the first time, they seemed to be vaguely hostile to each other.

Erich's teeth grinding became louder——

He even recognized himself!Know that she is the first princess of Egypt.

Alicia quickly searched her memory, thinking that she hadn't revealed her identity in the past, and the other party must have known about it through other channels.

But now that she recognized her and met her, she immediately stopped worrying about how the other party recognized her. Instead, she poked her head and said to Sen Mut who was standing in front of her: "Master High Priest, these people are from other places. Adventurers. This... well, named Sharka, is the leader of the adventurers."

"Shalka, this is the high priest of Egypt, Lord Senmut."

She told Karsha with a brief introduction that she didn't want him to reveal his identity as a Hittite prince rashly deep in the hinterland of Egypt.This will cause great trouble for both of them.

Kalsha immediately accepted the fake name and identity that Ailixi casually fabricated for him, pressed his right hand lightly on his chest, and bowed slightly to Senmut: "It turns out that the old man who is famous for his precocious wisdom Priest, the person who is the closest to God in the whole of Egypt—Master Senmut, I am the adventurer Sharka."

It can be seen that Karsha has done a lot of investigations on the situation in Egypt, and he is very clear about the rumors about Senmut.

Senmut also saluted the other party gently, without the pretensions of a high priest, but still tried to cover the sight of Erich.

He didn't ask how the adventurer knew the first princess of Egypt.

Of course, the other party did not investigate why he would accompany the first princess without the presence of the pharaoh.

Everyone is hiding secrets from each other, but at the same time they are tacitly tacit.

At this time, there was only a bang, and everyone's nerves that had been slightly relaxed just now tensed up again.

When people turned their faces, they realized that Kong Si, a pale young man, looked like a bird, leaping easily from the ground and onto the snow-white marble railing installed on the outside of the stairs.

With another bang, Kong Si had already landed on the semi-open terrace on the roof of the small building.

As soon as the pale boy fell to the ground, Erich immediately noticed that the fundus of Kong Si's eyes were a little red.

She quickly leaned over to look downstairs, and found that the Asiuts were gathering around the steps of the small building, looking up at the stairs, but no one dared to take a step.

However, the entire street is already overgrown and densely packed with local residents who do not know whether they are alive or dead.This explains why Kongs sensed danger and jumped onto the observation deck.

Alixi quickly comforted Kong Si: "Okay, it's okay. They won't come upstairs here."

Kong Si's eyes turned back to black and white in an instant. He squatted leisurely on the railing, glanced at Karsha and the others, and then folded his arms to himself, thinking of his thoughts.

Karl Xia suddenly sighed: "It seems that everyone's experience is similar to ours."

But he glanced at Ailixi's team, and found that each of them had a full beard and a full tail, and their eyes were clear and pure. They had obviously retreated from the encounter with the Asiut.

Alice immediately looked back at Prince Hittite, thinking: This one has also successfully found this place, the only safe place in the entire city.

The other party did not have experienced craftsmen like Karam, and it was impossible to judge the safe place by understanding the traditional funeral forms in Egypt.

As soon as Karsha saw her eyes, he understood her doubts, reached out and patted the bag on his shoulder, and said: "Here is an ancient object handed down from my family. It has the ability to guide directions. It has always been specially Used to find safe places in times of crisis. That's why we found here..."

Alicia: I see. It turns out that the other party relied on special items with special functions.

Unexpectedly, Karsha didn't stop, he continued to take out a fist-sized gold bowl from his arms, the surface of this gold bowl was carved with intricate and mysterious patterns.

Karsha held the golden bowl in his hand, and Alicia could already see the faint golden light appearing from the bottom of the bowl.She immediately had a guess about the role of this golden bowl.

Sure enough, I only heard Karsha say: "This is also an ancient item handed down by my ancestors, and its name is clarification..."

Alicia: Of course!

With this clarification, Karsha and his people can maintain a sober state in this city where the living world and the underworld overlap.

Its effect should be similar to the purification amulet used by Senmut.It seems that Egypt and Hittite countries have some common language in the use of special items!

Unexpectedly, Karsha still took something out of the bag he was carrying: "This is another ancient item from my ancestors..."

When he said this, one of Karsha's attendants couldn't bear it anymore, reached out to take the golden bowl from Karsha's hand, and reminded: "Boss, have you forgotten that you should avoid holding the clarification yourself now? "

Karsha was stunned, suddenly realized, reached out and patted his forehead, and said, "Look at me—"

"Princess, High Priest, this is really ridiculous." Karsha spoke to Erich and Senmut in a familiar tone.

"The feature of my clarification is that it can help purify. But it also has a flaw. People who hold it will tend to show off. The longer they hold it, the more they show off, and they talk a lot. Only regular replacement People can avoid this defect."

It was so-

Alicia couldn't help but think of the doors of this group of Hittites, and remembered that the Hittite prince had explained to her the functions of various doors that night without seeing her.She doubted that Karsha was also carrying this clarification at that time.

This time, if Karsha's attendants hadn't been quick to see the opportunity, the Hittite prince would have shaken out all the ancestral treasures at the bottom of his box and showed them to Elyse.

It's a pity... There is no way to know what special items this Hittite prince has.Alicia sighed inwardly.

"Okay, I've already explained to you how I found this treasure land and hid for the time being. Then, as for leaving here, what better way do you guys have?"

Once Kalsha lost the influence of clarification, he immediately became quick thinking and spoke to the point.

He spread his hands frankly: "Although I have come here, I have no idea what's going on. Guys, can you clear up the confusion for me, a foreigner?"

Senmut looks at Elyse, who nods at him.

So, everyone except Kong Si sat on the ground around Senmut.

Senmut sat in the crowd and said solemnly: "A day or two ago, we noticed that the authority of Hades seems to have weakened, and today we encountered such a thing—"

Alicia quickly recalled in her mind: Had the authority of Hades been weakened?Could it be the matter of Tefnut's envoy that made this Senmut-sama come to such a conclusion?

"Has the authority of Hades weakened?"

Nanna and the others gasped together.

Kalsha, the Hittite prince, was very calm, listening to Senmut's speech as if he had expected it.

"Judging from the current situation, for some reason, the world of life and the underworld overlap in the city of Asiut. The living and the dead are confused and move freely in the city."

"This has caused three problems: First, the living residents of the city are in the underworld at the moment. You must have seen their abnormalities. If this overlap cannot be broken for a long time, the living will soon fall into the middle world. An intermediate state between life and death, neither born nor dead, and unable to escape."

"The second is the dead in the city. This city is both the underworld and the living world. The dead are in the living world. The most important thing is that they cannot remember that they are dead. Once they remember that they are dead, their souls will immediately disappear and turn into dust. I will never be able to return to the underworld..."

As Senmut spoke, Erich looked intently into the High Priest's eyes.

She noticed that when Senmut spoke, the light in his eyes was constantly jumping and flickering.

Before that, she just felt that the high priest's eyes were focused and his spirit was brilliant when he spoke.Only now did she notice that it was actually one after another of tiny golden symbols densely arranged in his eyes, flashing past quickly.

If those golden symbols are the knowledge from Tut, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, then Senmut is like a large-scale computing processor at this moment, picking out the information that people need to know from the vast amount of knowledge——

These are details that Ailixi couldn't see clearly when she was a favored person before, but now that she has become an envoy of God, she finally pays attention.

"The third is those of us—I can tell you frankly that if the problem of overlapping the two worlds cannot be resolved, then we will not be able to escape from the city."

"So if our companions enter the city at this moment, can they find us?"

The attendant beside Prince Karsha held a golden bowl and asked eagerly.

Unlike the prince himself, who had a good bag of things to show off, this squire seemed to be penniless, so he could only show off his companions.

"cannot……"

Senmut replied sincerely.

"Because we can't be sure that they will be able to enter the city where the two realms overlap—it is also possible for them to directly enter the city of Asiut that originally belonged to the living, where they will find that the entire city is empty."

"If you can't, just wait here, anyway, there is no danger for the time being."

Karsha stretched out his arms comfortably, and his eyes couldn't help slipping to Erich.

"also can not……"

Senmut remains frank.

"We have just met the oracle of the cobra goddess Vajit, who drove the living and the dead of this city to drive us here."

"I think she won't let us wait here safely."

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and most of the attendants and guards turned pale with fright.

People asked each other with their eyes: envoy... the envoy of Goddess Cobra?

Only Prince Karsha heard this, gritted his teeth while grinning.

He should be aware of the worrying prospects, but full of faith, believing that he will not be easily trapped here.

Erich is very interested in the name of the Cobra Goddess Wajit.She immediately asked Senmut to talk more.

"Master High Priest, I remember you said that this goddess is the servant of the Underworld God?"

Senmut nodded: "That's true, but one thing is, this goddess is not a follower of the god of the underworld, Osiris."

"He is the old god of the underworld, that is, the earliest creator, the servant god of Atum."

"Usually, we think of him as an evil god who believes in Isfat, which is chaos and is an enemy of order."

Senmut spoke more cautiously, and seemed a little worried, for fear that Goddess Wajit was nearby now.

When Senmut said the words "Old Days", Erich only felt her ears buzzing, and these two words kept echoing in her ears.

The old days, the old days—

She couldn't ignore the word, it seemed to make some kind of fear come out from the bottom of her heart.

Erich was sure she'd heard the old saying, but it wasn't the same as Senmut's.

The old days do not refer to Atum who will create the whole world from the primordial chaos—

It should come from another worldview.

Erich felt her head hurt when she thought of this, and she really regretted that Karsha was staying with her in Upper Egypt at this moment, instead of on the way to find the Time Stone.

She really wanted to send the traverser Viola back to modern times as soon as possible, and ask her to help find out what the third book was at the bottom.

When Alixi was distracted, Karsha smiled and said: "It all makes sense."

"Because the authority of Osiris, the god of the underworld, was weakened, Vajit, the servant god of the old creator Atum, could have power in the city of Asiut, so that the city's living world and the underworld overlapped, creating such a confusion."

Dare I say——

All the people from Egypt looked at Prince Hittite with amazement.

Without exception, Alixi secretly sighed in her heart: It seems that this god who has never experienced Egypt comes here every now and then, turning people into horrors of chicken coops.

She cleared her throat and said, "The problem we want to solve is to undo the superposition of the living world and the underworld in Asiut City, right?"

Everyone was startled and nodded.

Once this problem is resolved, none of the three threats Senmut just raised will exist.

As for how the gods will fight for power and power, it has nothing to do with everyone.

"Honorable first princess..." Senmut looked at Erich with a pair of golden eyes without much emotion, "Have you thought of a way to solve the superposition?"

Alixi shook her head sincerely: "No."

"But I can choose to ask for help off the court."
