From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Listening to the great priest in front of her who claimed to be the Temple of Amon, Elyse's mood was quite complicated.

Her first reaction was: Yo, I found an organization?Does the organization really exist?

When the fennec demigod took her captive to the Swimmer's Cave earlier, he had clearly stated that the god Amon did not exist.Originally, she was given power so that she could become God Amon.

This point of view was so unbelievable that Alicia couldn't believe it.

But her various experiences and coincidences after she became the favored person of Amon made her doubt the authenticity of this god.

Plus she (and her spirit) has been to a lot of places in Lower Egypt.Throughout Lower Egypt, very few people had heard of the god Amun.

So at that time, Alixi kept an eye out and told herself: This matter is doubtful, so be careful to verify it.

As a result, she arrived at Thebes in Upper Egypt, the center of the worship of the legendary Amon God. Before she could enter the city, she was first dismissed by the priests of the Amon Temple.

It seems that in Thebes, the worship and belief in the god Amun not only existed but also was widespread.

But looking at the great priest whose chin was about to be raised to the sky, Erich couldn't help complaining secretly: It's really unlucky for the people of Thebes to have such a person presiding over the affairs of the Temple of Amon.

Before Alicia could figure out how to respond to the Thebes priest, Nanna spoke first.The God of War's favored man laughed boldly and looked up to the sky.

"Since you are all believers of God Amon, you should have heard that Her Highness the First Princess is the envoy of God Amon."

Alixi couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly - in fact, she felt that the other party might not have heard of her.

"An envoy of God Amon?"

The priest standing in front of Alixie couldn't help raising a pair of small eyes, looking up and down at Alixie.

This is a middle-aged man in his 30s, fat, bald, and the oily shine around the top of his head can be seen in a mirror.

His facial features are quite distinct, with a high bridge of the nose, an aquiline nose, and shrewd eyes.In addition to being arrogant, it seems very scheming.

Among all the priests who boarded the king's ship, he was dressed the most elegantly. He wore a lot of shining gold jewelry all over his body. The jewels were so precious that he could almost be compared with Pharaoh Delos.

On the other hand, Alixie on the opposite side, from the outside, she doesn't have much of the noble appearance of the first princess.

Due to the special period, Erich specifically told Urania not to put too much makeup on herself.

Therefore, at this moment, she does not apply makeup, but only wears a large dyed linen robe that can conceal her figure. Apart from the Eye of Horus and the talisman Ymir, there is no additional decoration on her body...

Apart from her unusual beauty and her calm temperament, Elysia is neither very much like the first princess, nor does she seem to have nothing to do with the envoy of Amon.

So the Thebes priest snorted through his nostrils and said, "You're kidding!"

He is not too arbitrary or ignorant, and he can actually put forward an argument: "I heard that the gods at the level of the god envoys are all in the form of animal heads and human bodies. Beauty...beast heads, do you have one?" ?”

Nanna explained from the side: "This is the first princess, the Pharaoh's official wife. After she became an envoy, the gods naturally prevented her from having a beast head..."

"What is the animal form of God Amon, have you seen it?"

Alixi interjected directly and asked a question—in fact, she really wanted to know whether the god Amon had an animal form.

The priest of Thebes choked immediately, and after a while he looked around and said, "Anyway, the waterway is closed today, and your boat can't get there even if you want to dock. It's better to be less talkative and rest on the boat, and wait until tomorrow at the Karnak Temple." After finishing the official business here, it is natural for you to go to the city to pay homage to the temple."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and gave an order to the attendant behind him: "Go!"

A group of people passed the springboard and returned to the boat when they came back.

The priest of Thebes with the Mediterranean Sea above his head was about to triumphantly leave the kingship along the gangplank when his foot slipped and he slipped directly into the water.

The others were so frightened that they rushed to rescue him.There are several kind-hearted sailors on the king's boat, who jumped into the water without saying anything.

The priest of Thebes popped his head out of the water—he was also good at swimming, and falling into the water from the diving board would not be life-threatening, but this embarrassment really belongs to the family.

But who let him slip and fall into the water inexplicably, making such a fool of himself?

With the help of his companions, the priest of Thebes could only climb into the boat cursingly and return to the city.

Alicia glanced at Senmut beside her without any trace.She knew very well that just before the bald priest slipped under his feet and fell into the river, Senmut had moved his lips and whispered a spell.

Since the high priest can curse people's slippery hands, he must also be able to slip their feet.

Earlier, Alixi had been holding Nanna secretly, just to prevent the God of War's favored one from jumping out to vent her anger on her own initiative.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Senmut in the end, who secretly stood up for her.

Seeing Alicia's eyes turned, Senmut had no expression on his face and walked away.

But Ailixi recalled that the high priest had always been gentle and gentle, what made him make an unprecedented move to vent his anger on himself?

She thought carefully about when she noticed Senmut's expression just now, and when did something wrong start.

After much deliberation, I only remember that this person has always had an indifferent expression. It was not until Nanna mentioned that Alicia was exempted from the animal form because she was the wife of the Pharaoh, and Senmut's expression became a little strange.

Probably the high priest felt that it was unfair—Alich secretly guessed: Even if Senmut is a genius in heaven, at least he has held the head of a heron for a day at the rank of an angel.

Alixi guessed this way, and she also expressed her helplessness: It's not her fault that God Amon doesn't have an animal form.

Thinking of this, Erich turned to Gregor, the Queen's navigator, and asked him: "What do those people mean when they said that the dock cannot be used for closed waterways?"

She thought: Could it be that in this era, the city of Thebes has already built a large water barrier, can it still seal the entire pier?

"Your Highness, that's what happened."

Gregor asked about his strengths, and the queen navigator quickly gave a general description of the topography of Thebes.

It turns out that the city of Thebes is located exactly where a tributary of the Nile River joins the main stream.

However, that tributary is seasonal. During the dry season, the water of the Nile River flows into the river channel, which happens to form a good port leading to the city.

The entrance and exit of this port are at the confluence of the main stream and the tributary of the Nile River, which is not too wide.

In times of great turmoil, the forces of each Nome occupy one side.In order to defend against other Nomes, the Thebes built barriers at the entrance and exit, which were tall and thick wooden fences, which could allow water to pass through, but ships could not.

After the turmoil is over, the defensive function of these barriers will be temporarily useless.

Therefore, these wooden fences are usually hoisted with nooses and supported on both sides of the river entering the port.

However, if there is a major festival in Thebes, the river here will still be sealed with wooden fences to create a large open water area to show respect to the gods.

Erich thought for a while, and asked Gregor: "So, the port of Thebes is facing the Temple of Karnak?"

Gregor nodded, and then quickly put a high hat on Erich: "As expected of the First Princess, you even know the Karnak Temple in Thebes."

Erich was speechless for a moment, and could only think silently in her heart: Karnak Temple①, the world-famous Karnak Temple, I don’t know what it looks like now.

If Miss Biola, who came from an archaeological family, was here now, she would be crazy about joy.

Thinking of this, Alicia shook her head slightly, as if she wanted to get rid of all the miscellaneous thoughts in her mind.

Then she raised her head and asked Gregor about the situation in the port of Thebes in detail, where the ships were moored, whether there were ships moored on the water when the ceremony was held...etc...

Gregor didn't know what to say, but he answered them one by one.

Erich nodded, then ordered Gregor to raise the flag and looked at the direction of the wind.

"Let the sailors of the king's ship eat on board at noon, eat more dry food, eat a little more, and build up enough strength. We will go to the city in the afternoon."

Gregor suddenly opened his eyes in astonishment, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be smoothed away.

He thought to himself that those Thebes just said that there will be sacrifices and celebrations at the Karnak Temple in the afternoon, and there will be obstacles on the river.

Most of the other people on board were equally surprised. Even Senmut, who has always been well-informed, didn't know what kind of decision Erich made. Only Nanna probably guessed something, and said with her fists clenched: "Let those dogs fight!" Take a good look at the powerful guy!"

Alixie: Do you want to be arrogant?

Well, well, it's really a dog fight.

She thought about it, and remembered that there was one more important thing before entering Thebes.

She turned and told Urania, "Make up for me."

Soon it was noon.

Outside the city of Thebes, large and small ships were moored on the big river, all of which were unable to enter the port because of the obstruction of the waterway.

It was a sunny day, and the sun was scorching hot. Although there was steam on the big river, it was still very humid and hot.

Gregor is concerned when Erich sends a boat to scout.Therefore, I personally asked for orders to explore the waterway between the king's boat and the dock in a small boat. Of course, I tried to bypass the barrier.He intends to persuade the first princess to also take a small boat and bypass the barrier, but Elyse disagrees.

She found all the sailors on the king's ship, and she also stood under the scorching sun and spoke to them.

At this time, Erich has already replaced the exquisite headdress, clothing and jewelry that symbolize the first princess.

Wearing a towering feather crown and bright and gorgeous makeup, she stood under the strong sunlight of Thebes, making her completely unbearable to look at.

She faced the navigator and all the sailors on the king's ship and said, "Everyone, those priests from Thebes visited this morning, and you all saw their faces."

It's fine if she doesn't mention this, but when this is mentioned, the sailors on the king's ship are all angry——

They all belonged to the royal family of Egypt and belonged to Pharaoh.The priests of a certain temple in Upper Egypt actually put on such a face and did not allow their royal ship to enter the city?This encounter, this humiliation, is unprecedented and unacceptable to everyone.

For a while, the crowd on the royal boat was excited, and everyone waved their hands, expressing their allegiance to the first princess, and expressing their gratitude for the pharaoh and the royal family.

"So, are you willing to trust me? Are you willing to do what I tell you? Are you willing to go through fire and water for me and be smashed to pieces?"

After staying on the royal ship for so many days, Erich's temper has long been known to the sailors——

She may often be unsmiling, and she is not so gentle when she speaks.But she never treated the sailors badly, and the sailors who served on the king's ship even felt that they had never had a better time during this journey.

Not to mention that he accompanied her deep into the city of Asiut and encountered those crazy and weird Gregor and others.

At this time, Elyse asked three questions together like a cannonball, and the sailors suddenly replied: "Yes!"

After they finished answering, they all hurried to sit on their oar seats.

Erich looked at the wind direction. At this moment, the wind direction on the big river was extremely suitable, and it happened to be blowing head-on from the direction of Thebes. It was against the wind to row a boat from their position.

"Thank you for your trust."

Alixi replied, thinking to herself: I hope you can still trust me so much later.

When she turned her head, she happened to see Gregor's tense face, full of nervousness, but still firmly standing by the side of the boat, holding onto the side of the boat.

It seems that no matter how nervous and frightened he is, with Alicia around, he will definitely let Wang Chuan sail in the direction she said.

Alicia suddenly felt that the time was right, so she nodded.

"let's go--"
