From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

It happened two days ago, Tanis.

In the morning, Viola took out a lizard-shaped amulet, put it around her neck, went outside, and looked at the sky.

The weather in Tanis has been good recently. The sky is high and the clouds are clear, the sun is shining brightly, and the water vapor is not too heavy.

Viola greeted her housekeeper, a lively woman in her 30s, with a smile, and then pinched the amulet on her chest.

There was a flash of light on the amulet, and the lizard image made of turquoise and gold immediately changed its color, and the material seemed to immediately change to opal and obsidian.

Immediately afterwards, Viola's blond and blue-eyed appearance changed completely, becoming exactly the same as the local Egyptians' black hair and black eyes, and her skin color was no longer exaggeratedly white.

Instead, it showed a wheat color after being exposed to sunlight for a long time, which was exactly the same as her housekeeper in appearance.

Biola bid farewell to the butler. To be careful, she put on a long linen kerchief for herself, and walked briskly out of her courtyard.

She named the amulet given to her by someone else as Chameleon.Because when this amulet is used, her appearance can quickly change to the appearance of the closest person around her, making her easily disappear among the crowd without being noticed.

And this change can last for six hours, which is enough for Viola to maintain her designated image characteristics from going out to returning home.For Biola, it was enough.

After she got this amulet, she was freed from the energy of disguising and changing every day, and could travel freely around Tanis.

Of course, Pharaoh probably didn't expect her to stay in Tanis at all.And the Egyptian officials here in Tanis have even been bought by the local Merchants and Craftsmen Union, turning a blind eye to Biola, pretending that she does not exist.

She was going to the coppersmith workshop that day, instructing the coppersmith to use electrolysis to gild copperware.

In the coppersmith workshop, the craftsmen moved the utensils, materials and tools to the open space facing the street because of the rare good weather.Biola watched and gave pointers.

Performing electrolysis requires the use of batteries previously invented by Biola.With a battery, a coppersmith can evenly coat a bronze device with a thin layer of gold within two to three hours.

But here in Tanis, gold plating is not just for decoration, but to improve the performance of metal devices and prolong their lifespan.

The tools produced in this way are resistant to corrosion and rust and are extremely useful, so they are very popular in Egypt.

As for ornaments such as jewellery, gold-plated pieces were still not valued very much by the wealthy.And goldsmiths are also afraid that the gold used for trading in the market is forged.

Therefore, Tanis's rule is that only a few designated coppersmith workshops are eligible to use the electrolysis technique taught by Miss Biola, and the gold-plated items are limited to special-purpose tools.

Viola rushed to the workshop and took the cool drink specially prepared for her from the coppersmith's wife. After a short rest, she got up to observe the coppersmith and his apprentices' work, and occasionally gave pointers.

Unexpectedly, a few foreigners came here at this time, and when they saw the coppersmith using a strange container here, they immediately stopped to watch.

Tanis is the largest trading port in northern Egypt, and countless foreign merchants come and go every day.This never surprises the Tanis.

But today these few outsiders have somewhat attracted Biola's attention.Because in such a clear, sunny and slightly hot weather, they still wrapped their whole bodies tightly in thick woolen robes.

Viola couldn't help but looked at them a few more times, guessing that they should come from the northern mountainous area, or a more distant country.

When several outsiders saw the coppersmith dipping several bronze wares into the container, they all looked around expectantly for a while.But seeing that the coppersmith didn't have any follow-up operations, he left temporarily with a tacit understanding.

Biola left them all behind.

But half a day later, when the coppersmith finished the gold-plating and took out these devices with a layer of golden light from the container, these foreigners appeared from nowhere, and with a cry, the coppersmith and Bi Euler surrounded him and asked in a rather jerky local language: "Is this a facilitation?"

Biola: ... foul language?

Viola didn't know why, but the coppersmith raised her eyes vigilantly.

"It's not turning bronze into gold—"

The coppersmith explained to them.

"I just plated a very, very thin layer of gold on the surface of these things instead of actually turning them into gold."

Viola immediately raised her ears curiously: These outsiders actually thought that their electrolysis technique turned ordinary metal into gold?

"If you came to Tanis to find someone who can conjure gold out of thin air, then I'm sorry, Tanis doesn't have one."

The coppersmith waved his hand: "But if you have gold refined by a mysterious spell, or if you don't know the authenticity of the gold, you can go to the gold screening office in Tanis Market, and there are people who can help you identify it."

After Biola brought electrolysis to Tanis, there was a little confusion in the Tanis market because of gold that was difficult to distinguish between true and false——

Until later, Biola used Archimedes' method of distinguishing true and false crowns to teach the people of Tanis to distinguish gold by density, and the people of Tanis set up a gold screening place in the market to prevent people from replacing gold with gold-plated items and disrupting the market. Market Order.

The strangers wrapped in thick blankets shook their heads, saying that they had nothing to examine, and they came to Egypt to find a real way to turn other metals into gold.

Biola smiled and said, "No, it's impossible—"

Her basic education told her that gold is a different chemical element from other metals, and it is impossible for other metals to become gold without chemically changing the atomic properties of the element.

Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head at her: "No, no, it's absolutely possible!"

They said in unison: "Our ancestors said their ancestors had seen—"

Viola smiled: "That is to say, you haven't seen it with your own eyes, so it's a legend..."

Unexpectedly, one of the strangers suddenly pointed to the bronze and tin wares in the coppersmith's workshop, and said in an extremely blunt local language: "These are cheap metals!"

He turned to the various utensils that were gilded and shining with gold, and said, "Those, noble metals!"

"From humbleness to nobility requires acceleration."

At this moment, Biola finally understood that it was a promotion, not a foul language.

"You need to find the holy stone, the holy stone is the seed, which can help you to catalyze—"

Viola understood everything now: "You mean, if you find the holy stone, you can convert different metal elements into each other... Oh no, I mean, you can convert ordinary metals such as copper and zinc into A precious metal like gold?"

The coppersmith reminded Viola: "Miss, don't believe them, I can assure you that they will come to sell you the holy stone soon."

Of course Biola wouldn't be fooled.

But her heart suddenly moved, and she remembered Ailixi's entrustment, so she continued to ask a few more words: "You mean, your ancestors once saw a kind of holy stone that can promote transformation and turn ordinary metals into precious metals? So You came to Egypt to find it?"

Biola vaguely remembered the famous pseudo-science school in history and the mysterious legends related to this school.

"Yes……"

Seeing that Viola finally resonated with them, the outsiders were all very excited.

"It is said that it was born in Egypt, and was brought to this world by the great gods who blessed Egypt."

"It then disappeared in Egypt, but it is said to reappear when other great miracles performed by the Egyptian gods reappear."

Biola couldn't help lowering her head and thinking: the Egyptian gods created, and the Egyptian gods also created other great miracles at the same time.This sounds so familiar—

Isn't this the original miracle mentioned by the priest of God Amon?

Viola's eyes lit up, and she immediately wanted to ask to see if the other party had any other clues.

Unexpectedly, one of the other party still didn't want to finish it, so he took a step forward, stretched out his arms, and sighed loudly: "Not only metal, but also people."

"people!"

Biola and the coppersmiths were a little dazed for a moment, and stood there dumbfounded.

"As long as the holy stone is found, it can transform lowly and depraved human beings into noble people, make them great people who are close to gods, make them invulnerable to swords and guns, invulnerable to all diseases, make them immortal, and make them last. Step into the temple and let them stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods..."

"Hahaha, haha...as long as I can find the holy stone..."

Both Viola and the coppersmith were stunned.

And the other foreigners on the opposite side also pulled the companion who laughed after talking endlessly and pulled him aside.

At the same time, someone explained to Biola: "Don't blame this lady, our companion, when we mention the holy stone, our brains are a bit... But there is indeed a legend in our place that says so, but standing shoulder to shoulder with the gods... Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah." Such blasphemy, only such a lawless guy can say it..."

Viola was still shocked at this moment, she lowered her head to think, and repeated in a low voice, "Invulnerable to swords and guns, immune to all diseases, immortal, and finally become a god..."

It reminded her of a famous object in history.

The coppersmith immediately interjected next to her, "My dear lady, in fact, we also have such legends in Egypt."

"It's just that it is said that the clue to this holy stone is a secret passed down from generation to generation by Pharaoh."

The coppersmith pointed to the strangers in front of him, Viola and himself: "None of us have the divinity of Pharaoh, even if we saw the Philosopher's Stone, we wouldn't be able to recognize it."

"You mean to say that this last original item is most likely the Philosopher's Stone?"

Alixie's spirit body was sitting beside Viola, and she couldn't hide her astonishment for a moment, which made her spirit body look more vivid and intimate.

Viola immediately felt close, and sat a little closer to Erich.

"Yes, sir, alchemy originated in Egypt, and Tut, the god of knowledge and wisdom, is regarded as the origin of alchemy. And the Philosopher's Stone is indeed called a miracle."

Erich thought about it and said, "The original seed was born because humans started planting; the potter's flywheel was born because humans started using tools; and the Philosopher's Stone is related to... chemistry?"

Biola nodded again and again: "Yes, alchemy is the beginning of human beings trying to understand chemistry."

The blond-haired, blue-eyed girl thought for a moment that Elyse was so easy to communicate, that she was worthy of being a priest of a great god, and that she even knew the subject terms of chemistry.

Alicia thought for a while, and then repeated the clues that Biola brought her: "The clues of the Holy Stone are the secrets passed down from generation to generation by the Pharaoh..."

At this time, Biola knew Elyse's true identity, and she was somewhat embarrassed when mentioning Pharaoh Delos.

But she had a very important clue to tell Alicia, so she had to temporarily suppress the embarrassment in her heart, and asked cautiously: "My lord priest, has the god revealed to you the origin of my...?"

She comes from the modern age more than 3000 years later, and telling this secret may scare Elyse.

Unexpectedly, the other party nodded and said, "God Amon once told you that you came from a time error. So He told me to help you find the Stone of Time to solve this mistake."

Biola: Really?

Isn't it just that the time has gone wrong for the time traveler?

There was a burst of excitement in Viola's heart.

This means that she can tell Alicia the most important secret.

"According to what I heard at another point in time, the origin of alchemy was recorded on a jade slab, and the clues of the Philosopher's Stone may also be there."
