From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Of course, Erich never imagined that this precocious person who is all over the world, the priest of the god of knowledge and wisdom, the high priest Senmut, who was bestowed the title of supreme god by the pharaoh, would sit half squatting and half sitting in a small temple Facing a group of half-grown children in the backyard, patiently pointing and writing for them.

Seeing this scene, Alixi couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch the space between her eyebrows:

The children in the backyard were led by the high priest to learn hieroglyphs seriously; the parents of the children in the temple were all practicing playing cards...

Fortunately, it is essentially learning.

"That's what you learned today. After you go back, you should practice as much as possible. When practicing, use the chalk given to you to draw these symbols on the slate, and remember their shapes and meanings."

"Do you have any questions?"

"Master High Priest, can you tell us why we remember these things?"

An immature and confused child's voice sounded.

"These crooked symbols look like pictures, but they don't look like pictures. I remembered them yesterday, but I forgot them today...why do I have to remember them all?"

The child called the hieroglyphs that Senmut had worked so hard to design crooked symbols, apparently because secular hieroglyphs have abstracted a lot from the hieroglyphs and monks.

But only in this way can the hieroglyphs and monks' requirements for the user's own personality level and special items be avoided.

This was determined by Senmut after many experiments. Urania, Gregor and others around Erich were all his test subjects without exception.

"You may not understand this truth now. But I can guarantee that when you grow up, you will understand how important it is to remember it."

Senmut's voice was as gentle and sweet as his own.

He has not been able to use his own experience to tell these children that knowledge and wisdom can help them cross classes.

When I stand in his position and look back, all the hardships I paid to master the knowledge back then were worth it.

At this moment, Alicia happened to see Senmut squatting in front of the children.Although his pair of golden eyes looked foreign.

But the eyes are so gentle, and the whole body is full of affinity.The group of craftsmen's children clearly liked the teacher.But it's not big or small, and I don't buy Senmut's account.

"My lord, but I really can't remember..."

"Can we go play outside the temple?"

"Grandma won't let me go out to play when it gets dark..."

Karam sighed next to Alixie, and whispered: "It's really not possible, let them learn to play cards..."

play cards?

The craftsman's favored person was glanced at by Alixie, and immediately stopped talking embarrassingly.

When Sen Mutt was facing a group of monkeys and had nothing to do, he suddenly heard a female voice behind him: "Why should I remember these crooked symbols? Of course it's because they are fun."

The corners of Senmut's lips rose with the rising tone of the person behind him.

I saw Alixi and Karam rushing into the backyard.Hansu jumped out from the corner and greeted warmly: "Sister Wangfei, daddy!"

Karam quickly pulled Hansu's arm away and said, "Don't touch Her Royal Highness the First Princess, she is pregnant with the future little prince..."

Senmut also noticed that Erich didn't bring any of Urania or Nanna in, so he hurried forward, held Erich's arm with one hand, and slowly helped her to sit down, while he himself Sit across from her.

"As for why they are fun?"

Erich's dark eyes were staring at Senmut with a sly smile, "Master High Priest, why do you say that?"

She was too lazy to use her brain, and directly handed over all the thinking tasks to Senmut.

The high priest had already fully understood what Elyse meant: she was reminding him to get the children interested in learning.

Senmut was quick to see the opportunity, and immediately picked up a stack of papyrus cards prepared in advance for the children——

This was what Karam had previously made for the grown-ups next door who were playing cards.But it was cut off by Senmuth and he wrote secular hieroglyphs on it, which was originally intended to be distributed to children to help them remember.

But now, facing Ai Lixi's bright eyes, Senmut immediately had an idea in his heart, pushed a few papyrus cards face down, and pushed them in front of Ai Lixi, saying: "Because I remembered them , you can play more fun games—”

A group of children rushed up immediately.And Hansu is the loyal supporter of Alixie and Senmut, asking repeatedly: "What game, what fun game?"

Alicia couldn't help laughing.

It's really hard for him to think that the high priest who is going to Egypt has spent so much time coaxing the child.

But Senmut took another piece of papyrus and put it in front of himself, saying: "You take a piece of paper here, and when you see the words on it, describe it, but you can't say it directly. After you describe it, I just had to draw it."

"If I make a mistake and say the word directly, I have to stick this card on my forehead—"

Alicia described the punishment without emotion.

"However, if I have described everything that should be described, and the high priest still fails to draw the correct characters, then I'm sorry, this card will be stuck on your forehead."

After finishing speaking, Erich boldly invited the children around her: "You are all judges!"

Senmuth imagined the image of a card stuck in the center of his forehead, and his face flushed almost with a whimper.

But the children only felt the novelty, applauded in unison for a while, and jumped up and down to surround the two of them in the middle.

Ailixi stretched out her hand and drew a word, and began to describe: "It's a piece of land, used to grow barley, wheat, or flax..."

She has the ability of photographic memory, and the secular script designed by Senmut has been shown to her and asked for her opinion.

Therefore, the words on these cards no longer looked like hieroglyphs or priestly scripts, which were heavenly scriptures to her.

Playing and playing, Erich and Senmut sat opposite each other, and both of them had a few cards made of papyrus on their foreheads.

Neither of them had seen each other's funny faces before, and Senmut held back his smile with his mouth slightly pursed, and his eyes hurriedly slipped away.But Alicia glared at him, and signaled very angrily: I am helping you anyway.

But she looked at the card on the high priest's forehead again, and finally couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

After a while, the dangerous premonition of Senmut and Erich was touched at the same time. The two moved equally quickly. They stretched out their hands at the same time and quickly peeled off a few cards stuck on their foreheads. The two seemed to be okay. Sitting upright, they looked at each other, as if the funny appearance of each other just now was a dream.

Accompanied by Karam, Ferrin walked into the backyard of the Temple of the God of Craftsman, just in time to see this scene.

"My lord envoy..." Ferlin bowed to Erich respectfully, "You invite me to come?"

Before that, Karam sent Alicia to Senmut, and then, according to Alixi's instructions, invited Priest Ferlin to come.

"It's just in time..." Erich generously invited Ferlin to sit down, "Is the preparation of the 13-member council almost ready now?"

Ferlin did not expect that Erich would sit among a group of children and ask him this question. After a daze, he replied: "Everything is ready. The candidates for the 13-member council have been selected today, and the 13-member council will meet tomorrow." In front of everyone in Thebes."

The first thing to do when the 13-member council was established was naturally to liquidate Plato, Alba, and Roach in the original three-member council.

Now Thebes has a lot of public grievances against them, and the newly established 13-member council just took advantage of this incident to establish its authority.

The three ex-priests had been imprisoned in the dungeon of the Temple of Karnak—the place where they had been imprisoned and tortured political or other opponents.Just wait for the 13-member council to give an explanation to the people of Thebes after taking office.

But these——Felin looked around at the group of children who poked their heads towards him and looked at their children, and felt that it seemed inconvenient to talk about these things at this moment.

"Well, good."

Ailixi didn't intend to say more about this matter, "Master Feilin, I came to you today because I want you to see the school I mentioned to you last time."

Erich had already mentioned to Ferrin that after the 13-member council was established, they would be invited to attend a class that Senmut gave to the artisan's children.

She wants to take this opportunity to promote schools in Thebes, so that non-noble children can also have the opportunity to enter formal educational institutions to receive education, learn relatively practical knowledge such as counting, and also promote the secular world created by Senmut. body pictograph.

At this time, Senmut looked up at Alicia and said nothing.

But the look in his eyes made it clear that this was exactly what he desperately wanted to do.

Flynn has already agreed with this.But Erich said: "But about this particular thing that is going to be taught in this school... I want to let you know what I intend to do in advance."

As she spoke, she gently pushed the papyrus cards made by Senmut to Flynn.

"This is exactly what Lord Senmut intends to teach in the school."

Feilin didn't know, so he took the papyrus cards casually, flipped through them for a while, and suddenly realized what they were.

Suddenly, as if he had been punched hard in the chest, he raised his eyes palely, looked at Erich, then turned to look at Senmut, and asked with eyes full of disbelief: "This is... text? "

On the land of Egypt, the words that were once monopolized by the gods, pharaohs, nobles and clergy for thousands of years...

Film is one of the vested interests of this monopoly.

At this moment, he turned the text in his hand over and over again, and finally decided that it was a simple text that could be understood without using amulets or other items.

After staying for a long time, Ferlin raised his head, looked at Ailixi, and said with difficulty: "My lord, you should have imagined... This will definitely meet resistance, and neither the priests nor the nobles will agree to teach it in the school." This content you advocated."

Senmut, who was sitting next to Filin, nodded knowingly—also as one of the few vested interests in this world, Senmut knew very well what kind of privilege this touched.

Writing is a privilege held by special classes. Not surprisingly, they will do everything possible to prevent the spread of secular writing in Egypt.

You know, even if Alicia is the first princess.Because as a woman, even she has never had the opportunity to contact and learn any hieroglyphs.

"But in Thebes, the final decision will be made by the 13-member council." Erich said quite proudly.

In the 13-member council, priests and nobles account for about five seats, and even if they include big landlords, there are only six seats at most.

As for the remaining seven seats, Erich believes that those who can be elected as representatives should have enough political acumen and foresight to know what this means to them.

So she is sure the proposal will eventually pass.

However, there is still a seat for Filin in the 13-member council. Whether this young man can pursue broad fairness as he claimed, can be seen through this vote.

Erich had never fully trusted Ferrin in matters of Thebes, but she was willing to give him a chance to show.

That's why Feilin was invited here at this time to reveal the news to him in advance.

Flynn's face was tense, looking confused and embarrassed.He hurriedly got up and bowed to Alicia, saying that he would think carefully after returning and make this decision.
