From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Doing what she thought, Erich immediately got up and went to find Kalam in person.

Karam is now a busy man in Thebes.He is the favored person of Knum, the god of craftsmen. As soon as Thebes, he found an organization—and it was a real organization, a group of favored people of the god Knum.

If it is said that among the gods in this world, the one with the largest number of favored ones and the widest distribution is Knum, the god of craftsmen.

Because it is said that every craftsman who aspires to achieve something in his craft can become a favored one as long as he prays to the God of Craftsman and goes through some simple screening.

In addition, since the time of the ancient Pharaoh Namer, countless large-scale and magnificent buildings have been built on this hot land of Egypt, and all kinds of exquisite objects, utensils, jewelry...

Therefore, artisans are almost the occupation with the highest proportion of the Egyptian population, and Knum, the god of artisans, is naturally also the god of industry, blessing this industry and accepting favored people.

It's just that although there are many followers of the god of craftsmen, most of them are not high-level—according to the explanation of the high priest Senmut, this is mostly because of the authority of the gods.

Because what Knum holds is an authority that is not common among the gods, the power that craftsmen can master is limited, and it is difficult for ordinary dependents to be further promoted to envoys and priests...

But in Erich's view, Knum has more followers, and the benefits of having more followers——

It naturally forms an organization of excellent craftsmen, which promotes business exchanges among craftsmen and exchanges what they need.

In this way, perhaps no craftsman can become a peerless craftsman.However, the overall level of craftsmen in Egypt has been steadily improving.

This may be the original intention of the gods.

When Alixi went to find Kalam, she happened to hear Kalam promoting the Arabic numerals she had taught in the Saqqara Palace to all the craftsmen in the Knum Temple.

"This kind of number is really convenient and quick to use—"

Standing on the side of the temple, Erich heard a man's voice with an obvious Upper Egyptian accent comment.

Of course, whoever uses it knows.

Alicia thought quite happily, after all, this is the basis of calculations that she worked hard to promote in the first place.

Egyptian craftsmen originally needed to use reed grass, bird bones, and rope rings to complete the cumulative calculation.

But with this new style of numbers, they can perform the most complex calculations in the least amount of time.

The energy of craftsmen can be liberated from calculations with little technical content, and continue to delve into their space and geometry problems-this is the field that Egyptian craftsmen are best at.

"But……"

Another voice sounded, "This kind of digital form is weird. We have never used it before. I personally think it is quite difficult to write it down and use it skillfully."

This kind of fear of difficulty seems to have a good market among craftsmen.

Unexpectedly, at the next moment, Erich heard Karam say: "It doesn't matter, as long as everyone learns how to play cards—"

Suddenly there was rustling in the temple, and the sound of distributing papyrus cards.

Alixi quickly covered her mouth with her hand, lest she laugh out loud.

Unexpectedly, in addition to copying the Arabic numerals, Karam even copied the popular entertainment activities such as playing cards.

While everyone was learning the various rules of playing cards, Erich asked Urania to quietly invite Karam out.

"His Royal Highness the First Princess..." Karam was respectful and delighted when he saw Ailixi, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Actually, I want to ask you for advice. I want to make such a special item..."

Erich confessed her plan to Karam. Her purpose was to carry some of the characteristics simulated by similar law firms into objects.

Karam was in a fog listening to Erich's description of the rules of the Baghdad battery.

But at the end, when I heard that Alicia wanted a special item that could have exactly the same characteristics as a battery, she slapped her leg and said, "Isn't this an amulet?"

Alicia was stunned.

That's right, an item that can bear the law of similarity doesn't necessarily have to be a specific item, it can be made into amulets one after another.

Each amulet is a battery, and she can inject spirituality when she has enough spirituality, but take out the amulet when she needs to use it, just like when Hansu used the fake death.Once the talisman is broken, the pre-reserved energy can be injected into the body.

Alicia: I've already thought about the name of this amulet.

"It's easy..."

Kalam was thrilled to have figured this out.

He completely forgot that he should ask Alicia to find a place to sit in the temple, but turned around, ran into the temple quickly, rummaged in his baby bag for a long time, and took out a large stack of silver like tinfoil. White metal comes out.

When he came out, he found that the princess was hanging in the porch by him, standing on the porch with his hands on her waist, casually admiring the murals on the temple wall.Kalam was taken aback and apologized quickly.

"Your Highness, look at my memory, I forgot about you again..."

But Alicia didn't care: "It's nothing, anyway, my maids are always worrying about how to make me more active."

Her eyes turned to the tinfoil in Karam's hand: "This is..."

"This is pure tin refined from tin mines. They are hammered until they are as thin and uniform as papyrus, and then cut into shapes of exactly the same size with scissors..."

"Only in this way can it be used as a carrier to withstand energy."

Listening to Karam's narration, Alicia knew that it was really not easy for these craftsmen to make these things.

Most of the tin mines in this era were symbiotic with arsenic mines. When extracting pure tin, artisans were vulnerable to poisonous elements. However, tin was made into such thin and uniform tin foil in ancient Egypt without industrial equipment.It is conceivable that this requires a lot of manpower——

The most important thing is... She is going to snatch all the wool away soon.

Karam didn't even know that the tinfoil he held out would be taken away soon, and continued to say: "You just need to fold such a piece of tinfoil into the shape you want, and then attach the spell to it." On top of that, it will be a talisman in no time."

"I see Lord Sunmut has always done that."

Alicia: No wonder there are various amulets one after another around Senmut. It turns out that the raw material suppliers are here, and Senmut himself is almost a master of amulets.

"Kalam..." Erich smiled and took all the tin foil from Karam's hand, "Since you are so kind, I will accept it all."

Kalam blushed suddenly, his face was a little stiff, and he stretched out his hand to scratch his short black and hard stubble, as if he was quite reluctant, and he couldn't explain it.

Alicia asked casually, "Where is Hansu today?"

"Just in the courtyard behind the temple, Lord Senmut opened a small school to temporarily accommodate the children of craftsmen and give them lectures there." Karam scratched his head for a long time, and finally remembered his son's whereabouts.

Alicia smiled instantly.

This is her suggestion to Senmut, not for other reasons, but to follow the set that Senmut is designing, which can be understood by ordinary people.

"Come on, let's go and see—"

Ailixi warmly invited, and at the same time softly begged, "Craftsman, you see, in the face of my efforts to make Mr. Senmut give lectures to the children without charging tuition fees, I will give all the materials for making amulets to you. me."

Kalam suddenly became dizzy: "Your Highness, I... How can Kalam afford this? If you want... just take it..."

But Elyse can promise more: "I know some craftsmen in Tanis, they have recently researched a lot of new technologies and parts, such as right-angle gears, cranks, splint hammers..."

She had to give Karam some compensation, or try her best to help him get promoted—after all, she got a lot of cash.

"Right-angle gears, cranks, hammers?"

When Karam heard it, he immediately showed a shocked expression that I couldn't understand. His eyes were filled with desire for new technology. Suddenly it was nothing.

"Your Highness, your news is so timely. A few days ago, I received an oracle from the God of Craftsman. The god meant that I only need to master three or five new pieces of technology to be promoted to the God of Craftsman. Made..."

It seems that there are many craftsmen's gods, but the connection between this god and his own gods is very close, and there are even special oracle reminders on how to promote.

"However, I heard the same from several other favored ones. It seems that this news is... the gods announced it to all the favored ones."

Uh... Elyse couldn't help but see a little sweat on her forehead: how come the god of craftsmen, Knum, has almost the same idea as her.She once imagined that if she had a high enough personality, she would broadcast a small broadcast to people who could see her through the Eye of Horus.

Thinking of this, Alixi couldn't help asking Karam: "Master of Artisans, I heard from the High Priest that you came to Egypt this time because you were summoned by the God of Artisans."

"And I see that there are indeed a lot of artisans from all over the place gathered here in Thebes. Has the God of Artisans revealed the reason for inviting you to Thebes?"

Karam replied seriously: "Your Highness, First Princess, I don't know the specific reason. But the oracle of the God of Craftsman mentioned that the potter's flywheel is about to be opened. The god hopes that this ancient sacred object will be opened. At that time, there were enough artisans on site."

"After all, the potter's flywheel is also claimed to be one of the eight original items!"

Alicia was so surprised that she stopped in her tracks.

This is probably because there is nowhere to look for, and it takes no effort to get it. Even Senmut, the priest of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, only knows four original items, but she learned another one from Kalam.

Erich hurriedly asked Karam what other original items she knew, and found that this craftsman knew no more than ordinary people.

She immediately changed her strategy and inquired about the details of the potter's flywheel.

The potter's flywheel is a rotatable horizontal flywheel used by craftsmen to support pottery blanks when making pottery.The pottery dishes and pottery bowls can be guaranteed to be a regular circle, all thanks to this flywheel.

It turns out that the potter's flywheel is not a real original object in the strict sense, and it is not created by the Creator.

In other words, its appearance is related to the domination of the world by humans—humans once competed with other animal races in the long years after the creation of the world.

But it was not until the emergence of various tools that humans really gained the initiative and began to dominate the world.

The potter's flywheel, a symbol of this initiative, is also the symbol of the god of craftsmen.

After listening to Karam's narration, Alixie lowered her head and broke her fingers, counting how many original items she had learned, plus the four items that the high priest told at the beginning, the original items she knew included:

Primal Mound, Primal Waterfall, Primal Lotus, Primal Baby, Time Stone and Potter's Flywheel.

Of course, the potter's flywheel is really weird, there is a strange feeling of improvisation.

But it's better to know than not to know, Erich immediately put away all the amulet tinfoil, followed Karam, walked through the temple of the God of Craftsman, and came to the backyard.

Here Alicia immediately heard Lang Lang's reciting voice, "People hand in hand, up and down, sun, moon, water and fire, mountains and rocks, fields and soil, wood, rice, bamboo①..."

Alixie's footsteps almost failed to stop in time.

Senmut once asked her, if he really wanted to design a set of secular scripts, which scripts should he start with, which would best meet the needs of ordinary people.

Where did Erich know what kind of writing was needed by ordinary people in ancient Egypt?

But she still donated the vocabulary list she had memorized when she was a child, and suggested Senmut to try boldly.

Unexpectedly, this guy Senmut really simplified the word list and the corresponding pictographs, and he wanted to teach these craftsmen in front of him.
