From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Hirsila New Town.

Zelt came in from outside in a raincoat made of papyrus.His wife, Kolyar, hurried forward, took off the dripping clothes and hung them in front of the porch. Looking at the gloomy sky outside, she couldn't help sighing.

Zelt was an optimist by nature, and entered the room with a smile: "Why, seeing me, doesn't it look like golden sunshine has entered the room?"

This is a wisecrack that Zelt often said when the couple first got married, and it can make Kolyar laugh every time, and this time is no exception.

But Kolyar smiled for a while and stretched out her hand to rub the center of her brows. With a worried look on her face, she nuzui pointed to the hall of the house and said, "Zelter, don't scold me when you see what's going on in the room!"

"Wow!"

Zelt stepped into his living room and immediately let out an admiration.

I saw that in my house, any flat place that can be covered with a thin layer of soil has been planted with a layer of fast-growing wheat seedlings, one by one, protruding from the soil, trying to grow.

Zelt couldn't help pulling his wife over, and kissed her on the forehead: "My Corrie is smart. It's raining so hard outside, she can think of planting wheat in the house!"

The miraculous wheat seeds bestowed by God Amon do have this characteristic, as long as they can be attached to a thin layer of soil, they can grow no matter where they are.It is the same when planting in the house now.

Kolyar was praised by her husband again, and the corners of her lips could not help but rise up.But when he saw that there was almost no place to stay at home, he couldn't help feeling sad again.

"I'm going to wrong you these two days." She said.

Zelt's firm arm immediately embraced his wife, and put his arms around her shoulders: "At this time, I can't say whether I am wronged or not."

Kolyar wanted to give her husband a smile, but she didn't expect tears to fall.

The weather in Upper Egypt has been weird recently. In the past, it was cloudless and sunny every day in this season, but now it is cloudy and rainy for days, accompanied by cold winds, and the next one is endless.

Recently, the Hirsila people rely on fast-growing wheat seeds that ripen every three days for their rations. Unexpectedly, even the fast-growing wheat seeds cannot be grown due to the continuous heavy rain. washed away.

There is really no way for Kolyar to come up with the idea of ​​growing wheat in her own living room.

But even so, there are still some problems——

The space in the house is limited. Even if we planted wheat seeds under the bed, how much we can harvest after three days and whether it can fill the stomachs of the whole family is still a problem.

It has been hazy for several days, and naturally there is no sunlight indoors. The wheat seedlings that grow stubbornly look wilted, yellow in color, and the ears of wheat are not full enough, so the harvest must be limited.

In this kind of humid weather, even if the wheat is harvested, it is not convenient to store, and it is easy to mold.

I heard that the recently newly built windmills also had problems, and they couldn’t grind wheat for every household—the Hirsila people had to find out the stone mill and grind flour by themselves.

Grinding into flour and baking into bread also has the problem of mold and spoilage-of course, the premise is that there is excess flour and bread that can be stored.

If this day continues like this... Kolyar shook her head, she couldn't even think about it.

"Let's just look for the best in everything."

Zelt comforted his wife with his usual optimistic thinking.

"If you think about it this way, we are actually a blessing in disguise—"

Some time ago, Hirsila was burned to the ground and the city was completely destroyed.

But God Amon immediately sent the priests and envoys of Knum, the god of craftsmen, to preside over the reconstruction, so that Zelt and Kollial could find shelter in the heavy rain today.

"The artisans have built drainage ditches throughout the city early in the morning, and the rainwater will flow directly into the big river along the drainage ditches. If this was the case in the past, Hirsila either didn't rain, and when it rained, the water flooded the streets and poured back into the courtyards ..."

Kolyar thought about the past, and it was true.The changes brought by the new town to their lives are indeed enormous.

She nodded involuntarily, believing her husband's words.

Zelt praised the new city again, and finally comforted his wife: "Don't worry! With the great gods we believe in protecting Hirsila, we have solved all the previous difficulties, and we have made these changes. You can see it in your eyes one by one. It will be the same in the future, everything will be fine...Are you right?"

That night, similar conversations were taking place in every household in the city of Hirsila.

People worry about the weather, but at the same time they put their hope on the god Amun.After all, this is a god who tells them to pay attention to the happiness of this world, and will not use the afterlife or eternal life as an excuse to persuade them to temporarily endure the suffering in front of them.

A busy scene in the temple of Karnak in Thebes.

Priest Felin is leading a material committee to discuss the distribution of food, ore, ironware and other items exchanged from Nubia and Punt to the various Nomes in Upper Egypt.Especially places such as Hirsila, which are suffering from heavy rain for days on end.

But recently, transportation in Upper Egypt has also been difficult: because of the heavy rain for days, the river has plenty of water and the water level is very high.Boating on the river is quite dangerous.

From time to time, there will be a gust of evil wind blowing on the big river, causing the ship to capsize, the cargo to fall into the water, and the crew to disappear, etc. Recently, Filmin has received many such reports, and it is a headache for this.

He asked Elyse about this matter, and Elyse's suggestion to him was to let him use the airships between Nubia and Ponte to transport key materials to various Nomes in Upper Egypt. supplies.

Ferlin's eyes straightened when he heard that, he never thought that the airship would not be affected by the wind.

But Alixie's advice brought him a glimmer of hope.The shrewd and capable priest immediately began to calculate the trade arrangements with Nubia and Ponte, in order to try to mobilize a few airships to support other Nomes.

Next to the temple where Ferlin was, Erich was sitting with Senmut and others to discuss.

"You mean, God Shu and Goddess Tefnut are enemies of Upper Egypt..."

While listening to Alicia's explanation, Senmut bent the knuckles of his right index finger and tapped lightly on the round table in front of him.

Erich nodded, feeling absurd in her heart—because this is the strange world view of the world in the book.

Wind, rain, sunshine... are all natural phenomena that exist on the earth, and the world also exists in this book.

In other words, if there is no God, the world is actually quite normal.

However, in the superimposed Egyptian mythology, these natural phenomena themselves are given authority to the Egyptian gods.

This is true of God Shu, who is in charge of the power of the wind, and Goddess Tefnut, who is in charge of the power of rain.

In Egypt, people don’t need to pray to these two in particular. The wind blows from north to south on the river all the year round, and the sky is also cloudy and rainy from time to time.

But if you need to sail in calm weather, or if you need to ask for rain due to drought, then you can occasionally get a response from God Shu or Goddess Tefnut, and their gods will come forward to respond to the supplicants .

So nature and divine authority exist at the same time, and can occasionally be superimposed.

Erich hadn't paid much attention to this superimposed relationship before. She believed that the God of Wind and the God of Rain probably possessed some special items with supernatural powers, so they could call the wind and rain——

Until a few days ago, Karam came to her and told her that all the tools that needed to use wind energy could not be used now.

This allowed Alicia to truly understand the meaning of authority.

Within the sphere of authority, the gods can control everything and manipulate everything.

Therefore, all tools for utilizing wind energy in Upper Egypt have been locked, and Upper Egypt has also encountered a long and rainy weather that has not been seen in a century. Only winds that are beneficial to Lower Egypt will blow on the big river...

"hey-hey……"

The fennec fox demigod with a silver mask on his face moved his long pointed ears, and finally changed from his lazily half-lying sitting position to sitting upright.

"The Nine Pillars God has always respected the sun god Ra. The wind god Shu and the rain god Tefnut are the sons and goddesses that he spit out by himself. How could he not listen to his words?"

"You all be careful, under Shu and Tefnut, there are Nut, the god of the sky, and Geb, the god of the earth. If these two are also enemies with you, hehe..."

The demigod spoke alarmistly, and Kalam, Satiri, and Solan, who were sitting opposite him, all changed their faces in shock, and almost jumped out of their seats.

Now just the wind and rain are already so troublesome, if you add the sky and the earth...

Alicia gave the fennec fox a half-hearted look coldly.

Today, she, who has experienced the demigod's promotion ceremony, will no longer look at these myths so simply——

The sun god Ra is the god who got power from the original place, and the power he possessed was so powerful that he suppressed other gods.Therefore, they were all included in the command, forming a small group of Egyptian gods-Nine Pillars.

The so-called holy family and the so-called blood inheritance are probably just stories deliberately fabricated when the creation myth was created.

However, Goddess Shu and Goddess Tefnut, as sons and goddesses spit out directly from the mouth of the sun god Ra, can rank ahead of the gods such as Nut, Geb, Osiris, Isis, etc., and become the direct relatives of the sun god Ra, There should be no reason why the myth can be told like this——

Erich's guess is that the gods of wind and rain were the first gods to attach themselves to the sun god Ra and form a holy alliance with him.

This also explains why these two will be the first to stand up and help God Ra in this proxy war within their respective spheres of authority.

"However, to be honest, Goddess Shu and Goddess Tefnut have not appeared for a long time. I heard that even the two of them, Asut, are quite old. This time, it may be directly driven by God Ra. Their two envoys asked them to be enemies of Upper Egypt?"

The fennec fox muttered this sentence half-heartedly.

Is it true?Wind God and Rain God didn't directly control their authority, but were controlled by those two envoys on their behalf?

Thinking of this, Alixi suddenly heard Senmut beside her say to her: "I thought you have maintained a good relationship with the envoy of Tefnut... and the envoy of Shushen?"

Hearing what Senmut said, Erich suddenly felt that the people on the opposite side cheered up, and looked at her with burning eyes, as if they saw some hope of turning the tide of the battle.

Alicia couldn't help but look at Senmut, and saw that his pair of golden eyes were calm, and he didn't seem to be saying good things for her to appease everyone.

She quickly recalled: ...that is indeed the case.

To be precise, she once maintained a brief friendship with Grandpa Shu and Tefnut, through Miss Biola in Tanis.

This reminded Alixi that she could indeed use this past friendship to touch the bottom of the God of Wind and God of Rain, and see if the current situation can be resolved in a better and more peaceful way.
