Three days after Sirius had risen, the priestly ceremony of the river god was completed.Delos then summoned the great priest Dahor.

The great priest was all smiles, and when he saw Pharaoh, he congratulated him again and again: "Congratulations to my king, congratulations to my king... This is the first time such good news has come from your royal court..."

After hearing the congratulatory words from the high priest, Tilos was silent for a moment, and said to the attendants beside him: "Here, send the princess to the palace near the mausoleum of the former king of Saqqara to stay and recuperate temporarily."

The joy on the face of the great priest suddenly disappeared. He opened his eyes and stared at Pharaoh, as if he couldn't believe that those words just came from the mouth of the man in front of him.There are only three words rolling around in his heart——

"Are you crazy?"

Delos glanced across Dahor's face indifferently: "Master, you have overstepped."

Any behavior that dares to look directly into the eyes of the gods is regarded as arrogance. Pharaoh is a god who walks in the world, and this is also applicable to Pharaoh.

The great priest quickly lowered his head, lay down on the ground, carefully weighed his words, and slowly reminded Delos: "The palace of Saqqara...will be submerged by the floods brought by the flooding of the river every ten years, and often Invoke the fire of punishment. Sirius has risen, the river is about to flood, and the princess is pregnant with your child, the future Pharaoh. Wouldn’t it be safe to do so?”

Delos chuckled lightly: "Isn't the prophecy from God not clear enough? Elyse is the mother of Pharaoh, who will give birth to the next generation of Pharaoh. What will happen to her?"

One sentence blocked the mouth of the great priest.

Dahool froze in place, really not knowing how to answer.

However, Delos continued harshly: "If the princess is safe and sound, it will naturally prove that the prophecy received by the high priest is true; but if the flood of the river in the area can affect the princess, then the king will have to doubt it. Authenticity..."

The great priest was stunned for a long time, and suddenly tears came to his eyes, and he fell on the ground, buried his head deeply in his arms, and begged Delos with a trembling voice: "Great and merciful king, please see that the queen has treated you so well. Sincerely, for the sake of the future Pharaoh, leave the princess to recuperate in the palace!"

Hearing the great priest's emphasis on Erich's love, Delos couldn't hold back, the corners of his mouth raised ironically, and then he said in a cold tone, "This is the will of the gods."

The great priest fell on the ground, his shoulders trembling, but he didn't dare to ask which god gave such an order.

"The river is flooding, and both the king and the great priest will be entangled in affairs and have no time to take care of the princess."

"The celestial phenomenon of Sirius rising with the sun has appeared, but there is no obvious sign of the flood of the river. Naturally, the palace will be safe and sound this year."

"Besides, Saqqara's palace is close to the tombs of the former kings, and the spirits of the former kings will protect their descendants."

"The great priest is still free from these mediocre troubles and unnecessary worries. Let's think about the flooding of the river this year and the taxation next year."

He was referring in particular to the tax policy of Lower Egypt: the tax levied in the coming year was directly related to the flood level of the great river;

If the river water does not rise much, it means that the land is not fertile enough, and there may be drought in the coming year, and the tax revenue will be reduced accordingly. ①

Delos dropped this sentence, walked away, and left the high priest behind.

Dahoor, who fell on the ground and begged, finally got up from the ground, but his tears were long gone.

His pair of shrewd eyeballs rolled around, he quickly got up, patted the robe on his body, looked in the direction where Pharaoh was leaving, and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that I have to send a letter to that kid Solan .”

Erich used the Eye of Horus again——

She has already figured out how to make friends with Biola:

After all, she was lucky enough to have read the original novel, and she knew exactly the escape route that Viola used to escape from Pharaoh's prison.Therefore, you can make arrangements in advance to make friends with this lucky person who has the halo of the heroine.

She even thought about her words:

Biola, do you want to be with a man who asks you to lie down in front of him when you meet him, and doesn't know how to respect him at all?

Do you want to be with a man who has been married for a long time and will soon have children, but wants to kill his wife all day long?

Do you want to spend your whole life with a man who only knows how to wrap a piece of cloth around his waist but always wears a lot of gold and silver around his neck?

Sister, don't cheat yourself!

Once Erich had figured everything out, she immediately took action and went to the dungeon where Viola was held through the Eye of Horus. Her face emerged from the dungeon's wall silently.

At present, all Alixie's psychic ability can do is to float out of the wall silently as an illusory mask.

Fortunately, Biola could see her.

It didn't take long for Viola, who was sitting quietly in the dungeon, to notice Erich's spirit.She suddenly opened her eyes wide, opened her mouth, and exclaimed——

"You...you..."

"You are a god in this time and space, are you here to save me?"

Viola's voice was clear and moving, trembling slightly with excitement.

Alicia closed her eyes.

"what--"

The girl's volume was amplified a little.

Viola immediately became alert, looked around, and after making sure that the guards outside were not disturbed, she lowered her voice and said with a slight cry: "I waited for a long time before I saw you again...I'm so scared..."

Alicia blinked three times quickly.

Biola also remembered: "The book says that closing your eyes once means yes, and blinking three times in a row means no②—the gods are telling me not to be afraid!"

Alixie: Sure enough, everyone grew up with the same batch of literary works.

She closed her eyes again to confirm.

"Bang, bang bang—"

At this moment, there was a knock on Alicia's door.

Erich was forced to withdraw from the Eye of Horus quickly. Fortunately, she comforted Viola at least once, and agreed on a way to communicate, so it was not completely useless.

Then she got the news——

She is about to be sent to the Saqqara Palace.

"Cow dung—"

Nanna barely suppressed her anger, but still cursed.

"The Saqqara Palace is easily submerged by the flooding river, don't you know?"

The palace attendant said blankly, "This is the order of the king."

"dog……"

Elyse made it up for Nanna in her mind--Dog Pharaoh!

But as to whether to go or not, Alixi pondered for a moment, and she suddenly had a strong premonition: she should go, she should obey the pharaoh's will, and go to Saqqara's palace.

Firstly, she did not have the capital to resist Pharaoh;

Secondly, she doesn't mind leaving Pharaoh's court at all, and the farther away from Delos the better——

Since what she is going to do is a major event that is not good for Pharaoh, it is best not to stay under Pharaoh's nose all day long.

When the strength is far inferior to the opponent, tameness and obedience are her best disguise.

However, Erich's plan to help Viola escape from the prison in the palace in the near future may need to be adjusted for the time being.

"In this case, we will prepare all the necessary items and head to the Saqqara Palace as soon as possible."

"Yes..." Nanna slapped her thigh heavily, "I have to inform Madam immediately, Madam has experience and should be able to send us some useful things and manpower."

The head maid hurried away.

On the other hand, Elyse took Ymir to search around the pharaoh's palace, and got a few special materials, all of which were stuffed into the luggage, but did not get more powerful amulets or runes.

When she set off, Alixi had a full set of honor guards that belonged to the first princess.

She had a four-corner bed made of cedar wood given by a foreign country, and the surface of the wood of the bed was painted with gold paint.

This bed can also be used as a means of transportation for the princess when she travels. It is lifted by twelve attendants, and Erich sits in it, with linen gauze curtains hanging on all sides, and it becomes a giant sedan chair.

Erich doesn't like such a gorgeous and ostentatious travel tool, she really wants to stroll by herself, and go sightseeing along the road while staying away from the pharaoh——

I heard that the palace is near the Pyramid of Saqqara, facing the Great Pyramid of Giza in the north. Erich has a little yearning for the pyramid scenery of this era.

However, Sekhmet's envoy once emphasized that she must rest more in the near future so that Kaka can recover slowly.As a backpacker, it's almost a no-brainer to go long distances or anything.

It will take about seven or eight days to walk to the Saqqara Palace on such a giant chariot.

Although the bearer who was in charge of carrying the sedan chair had a hard time, Erich, who was bumpy and tired sitting in the sedan chair, would not feel too comfortable either.

While staring at the sedan chair in front of her, Alixie waited for Nanna, when she suddenly saw a person walking across to salute her.

The visitor had brown hair and golden pupils, wrapped in an off-white linen robe that Egyptians often wore when traveling, and wore a hood under the scorching sun.

The robe covered his entire body, only revealing a handsome face, his pale golden eyes were staring at her, but his eyes were a little indifferent.

"His Royal Highness, my minister Senmut will go to the Saqqara Palace with you."

"Master High Priest..."

Erich responded calmly, secretly reminding herself that she should pay attention to this superb priest of God.

She tried her best to keep her heart calm, lest the other party perceive her heart.But in fact, when she saw Senmut, she subconsciously took half a step back.

"You went to Saqqara Palace to..."

Alixi deliberately put on a reserved attitude, maintained the original character design, and asked Senmut condescendingly.

Senmut's attitude remained the same, and he explained humbly: "I was ordered by the king to verify the astronomical phenomenon of Sirius rising with the sun. The palace in Saqqara has the best astronomical observatory in the whole territory."

"You also know that this year, Sirius rises five days earlier than in previous years..."

When Senmut said this, he suddenly raised his face and glanced at Alicia without any trace.

"Speaking of which, at the moment Sirius rose that day, you happened to be at the embalmer's place..."

In other words, when Sirius rises early, the most direct beneficiary is Elyse.Without this celestial phenomenon, she should have gone to the underworld.

Ai Lixi had a ghost in her heart, and her heart jumped suddenly.But she was afraid of Senmut's perception ability, so she could only try to keep herself calm, and at the same time looked up and down Senmut, wondering if the other party had sensed something from her heart.

But Senmut reached out and took off the hood, untied the collar of his robe, pulled out a linen rope from his neck, and showed Erich a turquoise amulet carved with an ear-covering baboon—— It was the baboon who didn't listen.

"Excuse me, are you looking for this?"

Senmut asked softly, the corners of his lips raised, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The Baboon does not listen is the nickname Erich gave this amulet. She has already asked the talisman Yumir, and she knows that this is probably an amulet unique to Senmut, and its function is to shield the hearts of people around—

Even Ymir didn't know the price of using this amulet.But obviously, it was a price the priest of God could afford.

Alixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: at least her secret will not be cracked by Senmut for the time being.But she was secretly more vigilant in her heart.

She looked at Sen Mut's seemingly honest and handsome face, and quietly concluded in her heart: This high priest is somewhat different when he uses and does not use the baboon disobedience amulet.

Without the amulet, he is emotional, sincere, even brash; with the amulet on, he appears cold and distant.

But this person's nature is persistent and serious, and the amulet cannot change the decisions he has made—for example, to track down the truth about Sirius rising with the sun.

At this time, Nanna came in a hurry, and when she saw Senmut, she hurriedly asked: "Master High Priest, it's just in time, I want to borrow from you..."

Senmut nodded, and he took out a thin piece from the cuff of his robe like a magic trick.

"Master Maid, do you want to borrow this?"

It seems that everything has been expected by him.

Alicia looked sideways at what Senmut held in her hand, it was a metal amulet made of tin or silver, it was made into the shape of a gondola, lying flat in Senmut's palm inside.

Nanna nodded again and again: "Yes, Lord Senmut, please... please lend me this one!" The maid pleaded with a full face.

Who knew Senmut shook his head: "I won't borrow this one..."

Nanna's eyes widened immediately: "Bull..."

"Because I will personally escort the princess to the palace in Saqqara."

Senmut cuts off Nanna's curse first.

Nanna's anger turned into joy, and she reprimanded in a loud voice: "You should have said it earlier!"

Immediately, Alicia was carefully helped by Nanna into her resplendent and magnificent sedan chair.

Nanna, her entourage and all kinds of luggage packed to the brim followed closely behind the sedan chair.

And Alixie was shocked to find that none of the twelve attendants who were supposed to carry the sedan chair for her were seen at the moment.Her big sedan was parked steadily on the ground——

Can we go now?

But Senmut stepped forward slowly, stretched out his hand, and personally put down the linen curtain in front of her for Alicia.

He immediately turned around, stood still in front of the big sedan chair, held up the boat-shaped amulet in his hand, closed his eyes, moved his lips slightly, and whispered a divine mantra.

With the infusion of energy, the boat-shaped amulet held by the high priest instantly turned into countless fine particles, and in the process of dissipating, it rose to the surroundings, covering the entire team that was eager to set off.

Alicia suddenly felt the flow of energy——

Her big sedan chair remained in place, and Erich couldn't even feel any jolts, only the scenery around her began to move backwards and backwards, roads, trees, rolling palace walls, fields, rivers, boats on the river, distant The tall pyramids and imperial tombs are faintly visible.

The wind lifted the linen curtain in front of Erich, just enough to see Senmut's back.

The high priest's robes, like the veils all around, were blown back by the wind, so that Erich could see his long brown loose hair, his outstretched arms, and his clothes made of reeds and palm leaves. The feet of the straw sandals are steadily moving step by step in the void, and the ground is also retreating rapidly under his feet...

The particles formed by the dissipation of those amulets are surrounding Elyse, and Elyse stretched out her hand to feel this magical amulet——

It's called... travel!

Travel amulet, one-time use, can be used by multiple people to travel with multiple luggage.Even the remote Saqqara Palace can still be reached within a day.

As for its effect, Alixie has only one comment: it is comparable to high-speed rail and deserves praise.
