From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

"Ashin—"

In the end, Ailixi reported the name of the person who tried to assassinate her because of jealousy and outrageous rebellion, with a bit of compassion in her tone.

Xin's shoulders trembled slightly, as if at this moment, she was touched.

The girl with leopard eyes looked up at Elyse, her eyes lit up by the firelight.

Ai Lixi could see clearly, there was a trace of sadness in Asin's eyes, as if to say, why didn't you say it sooner, it's too late now...

The slight sadness disappeared in an instant, and turned into vicious hot jealousy and resentment.

"Ha ha--"

Ah Xin burst out laughing suddenly, Nanna was startled, raised the long sword in her hand, and was about to swing it at her neck.

Soaring beams of light and flames soared into the sky, and everyone around them subconsciously covered their eyes and turned their faces away.Nanna didn't care about dealing with Ah Xin, so she jumped half a step away and stood in front of Alixi with her sword.

When people got used to the strong light and turned to look at Xin, they saw that the place where the maid was standing had turned into a dark green and strange flame.

Asin's crazy laughter still came from the flames.

And the occasional shadows that appeared in the green flame vaguely formed a human figure with facial features.

"Ashin—"

Among the thirty or so people gathered around the small square, many of them had good friends with Ah Xin, and they couldn't help crying when they saw her self-destruct like this.

"But she's not Asut—"

Senmut suddenly spoke.

Alicia agrees.

She glanced at Asin's right arm just now, and the cockroach on the right arm was almost pitiful, neither as arrow-shaped as Nanna's, nor as full and strong as she herself became Asut. .

This indicates that Asin's fate has come to an end.This girl is not Asut at all, not some favored by the God of Seth, but she is close to death.

To be honest, Alixi didn't sympathize with Ah Xin, although Ah Xin yelled out a voice that almost no one shouted in this era-everyone is the same, so why are there class distinctions.

But this is obviously not because Xin has the ideological consciousness that transcends the times, but purely out of jealousy, desire, selfishness and unwillingness.

Now it seems that Ah Xin may have been deceived, thinking that he has become a god, but in fact he just fell under the evil spell and became a knife that harms others.

"This can only be an evil curse!"

Senmut suddenly shouted: "Everyone disperse immediately!"

Almost with a bang, the flames enveloping Asin suddenly expanded several times and soared into the air.The shadows in the flames danced continuously, recombining Asin's facial features.

Asin's laughter still echoed in the night sky, getting wilder and wilder.

People were terrified and spread out in all directions.

Only Nanna stepped forward with her sword bravely and protected Elyse.

And Senmut staggered his hands in front of his chest, chanting a spell silently, and a soft light screen appeared in front of him again, the same as the one that Elyse had just manifested.

But this light screen is much thicker than the one borrowed by Elyse. The entire light screen covers Nanna, Elyse, and Senmut, and curls and sags towards the opposite side.

The energy in the light screen is flowing rapidly, trying to isolate and wrap the green demon flame formed by Asin's mutation.

"The High Priest—"

Nanna groaned gratefully.

Senmut, however, was engrossed and did not dare to be distracted.

In the blink of an eye, a huge harpoon sprang up from the green demon flames and stabbed heavily in the direction of Erich. It just hit the barrier formed by the light in front of Senmut, and there was a loud bang .

Senmut's body shook, and his long, soft brown hair rose behind him.His golden eyes became brighter and deeper.

The light screen is intact.

Alixi secretly sighed: Fortunately, it was Senmut.

If she was still borrowing it, she would not be able to resist this powerful harpoon no matter what.

The shadow of Asin in the green flame was not reconciled, and threw the harpoon again, and the harpoon hit the light screen, and even Erich, who was hiding behind Senmut, felt the pressure, the strong wind blew on her face, The tiny particles made the skin of her cheeks sore.

"Bang-"

Then there was a small click.

Asin, who had completely turned into a green flame, seemed to poke his head out of joy, and the huge harpoon in the flames was sent to the light screen in front of Senmut again.

The defense built by Senmut with the magic spell seemed to be broken in an instant, and the energy brought by the light screen disappeared in an instant, and the harpoon was sent to Alixie and others without any resistance, but it seemed like Suddenly fell into a trap, tightly bound by an invisible force, fixed in place, unable to move.

"The Blessed One of the God of War!"

Senmut yelled.

Without even thinking about it, Nanna responded loudly, put aside her long sword, drew her hard bow, and put on golden arrow clusters.A cluster of golden arrows with purification power shot towards the center of the green flame.

Asin's wild laughter suddenly fell silent, and then turned into a sharp wail.

The howling sound was full of penetrating power, and the 30 or so people who had dispersed earlier stretched out their hands to cover their ears and fell to the ground in pain even though they had run far away.

Alicia felt a nausea in her chest, a sharp pain in her ears, and discomfort all over her body.

But immediately a gentle force rose from between her chest and abdomen, protecting her whole body.

"Apostle Sekhmet..."

Erich was grateful for the power that the lion-masked angel had left in her body.

Amidst the wailing and screaming, the green flame shot by the purification arrow continued to struggle and twist, and the huge harpoon raised high was like a condensed spot of light, and suddenly began to dissipate.

Nanna breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Finally!"

"Wait a moment……"

Senmut raised his hand suddenly, wanting to say something, but couldn't say it in time.

I saw an arm suddenly protruding from the dissipating green flames—a woman's arm. It was no longer a harpoon in her hand, but a small knife that Axin used to handle melons and fruits for Erich every day.

The owner of this arm seems to have exhausted his last bit of strength and sent a desperate blow, but he couldn't identify the direction and sent it straight to Senmut's heart.

Only a slight sound was heard, the tip of the knife pierced into Senmut's linen robe, and the handle of the knife remained outside the robe. Like the green flame, that arm gradually dissipated and became gray dust without luster, and gradually subsided The wind drifted a little bit in the air.

Ashin disappeared completely.

Her laughter, wailing and screaming also dissipated, gradually becoming inaudible.

In the ears, there is only the faint sound of the waves caused by the flooding of the big river near the Saqqara Palace.

Covering their ears, the people rolling on the ground gradually recovered, supported each other to get up, and slowly approached Erich.

Beside Alicia, Senmut's face changed, as if he couldn't believe it.

He stretched out his hand to untie the linen robe he was wearing, and saw that the tip of Asin's small knife was pierced right into the amulet worn on his chest, and into the middle of the image of the ear-closing baboon.

"boom--"

"when--"

The amulet suddenly shattered in two, and the knife fell to Senmut's feet.

Alixie and Nanna gathered around Senmut and saw with their own eyes that the avoidance worn by Senmut broke into two halves.

And Senmut's expression is very strange, he looks like regret and loss, but also seems to be a little bit relieved, and it is not too much to describe it as a mixture of sorrow and joy.

And Alicia was full of apologies.

Senmut's evasion is said to be a gift from God Tut, and she doesn't even have a clue how much this amulet is worth—this magical amulet was actually destroyed by Asin who was under the evil curse.

No matter how you think about it, she can't afford it.

But Erich didn't have time to communicate with Senmut.The thirty or so attendants who had just dispersed, after witnessing Ah Xin's disintegration, now slowly gathered together, came to Alixie, and knelt down in despair.

Some of them looked at the mass of ashes left after the green flame dissipated with fear, and some of them crouched on the ground in fear, wondering how the princess would deal with them after knowing what happened to Asin.

"Remember what I said tonight."

Alicia only gave a few words.

"But remember not to spread rumors. To the outside world, it is only said that Ah Xin died of a sudden illness."

"Yes!"

Several people understood Erich's overtones and raised their heads gratefully.

If the news of Asin's assassination gets back to the great priest, they and their families will inevitably be implicated.

But since the concubine ordered them to conceal it, it should be the family members who are willing to pardon them and stay with them in the mansion of the great priest.

"It's so late, why, do you want me to take you to rest?"

Alixi ordered them to go back to rest, and the group obviously needed time to recover from the successive stimuli.

"Tabac, don't you?" She called a name.

The dull young man named Tabak raised his head in surprise when his name was called.

"You really..."

A little joy appeared on his face, and he quickly stood up and went to pull the people around him.

"Princess really...really remembers our names."

Erich indeed named Tabac on purpose, and she wanted to remind these followers.Although Ah Xin died, the promise she made did not change because of it.

She doesn't intend to treat these people as reserve blood bars, she treats them all as - human beings.

The night was thick and dark, and the air was unusually humid.

After a while, only Alixie, Nanna and Senmut were left in the small square.

Nanna supported Alixie, but Senmut held the broken piece in his hand and avoided it, thinking about something.

After thinking about it, Alixi turned her head and said to Senmut: "Master High Priest, this amulet... I will find a way to compensate you in the future..."

Whether it is compensation with money, or looking for materials with divine power, or craftsmen who can repair amulets... Erich thought to herself: There must be something to do.

Unexpectedly, Senmut shook his head and said, "No—"

Do not?

Alixi didn't know why the other party was so generous.

Senmut raised his head, and his soft eyes swept over Erich's face.

"I was thinking, maybe this amulet is destined to be broken here."

Alicia: Wow, that's great of you to think that.

"The moment I witnessed it shatter with my own eyes, I suddenly felt a little... relaxed."

Erich stopped talking, and patiently listened to Senmut's explanation: "You know, I am a priest of common origin. When I was born, like your companions, I was the poorest and least-status ordinary person in Lower Egypt. Born in a barn, parents work all day long and have no time to take care of them."

"Empathy is a trait that troubled me a lot when I was young. Because I have more emotions that come from nowhere than most kids my age, and I'm more... Love to cry..."

Immediately in Erich's mind, the scene where Senmut almost shed tears for her in the pharaoh's palace①.

The appearance of the young and handsome High Priest on the verge of tears is certainly beautiful.But not meeting the requirements of masculine men in this era makes him look very fragile.

But at the same time, he is the highest Asut in the world, and the god Tut he follows holds the most powerful and useful authority in Erich's view.

"But later, I had an experience that made me disgusted with myself. So I prayed to the gods, willing to give everything, and only hoped to become a normal person like the world."

Alicia couldn't help but feel curious.But he restrained himself immediately, for fear that Senmut could feel this almost rude curiosity.

"What I didn't expect was that the gods responded and I became Asut."

"God Tut gave me avoidance, and at the same time told me that the function of avoidance is to separate my own emotions from those of others. I will no longer be happy because of others' joy, and sad because of others' sorrow—"

"But avoidance has a bad characteristic. After wearing it for a long time, you will become more and more indifferent to the people and things around you, and lose all sympathy."

It turned out that it wasn't just the consumption of ba—Alich recalled her conversation with Senmut that morning, which was the real side effect.

"According to the oracle of the gods, if I keep wearing the avoidance, my blood will become cold day by day, and I will become a heartless, desireless, and desireless... monster who can't feel human emotions..."

"Maybe this will solve all the problems and troubles I had as a kid, but I often feel like, that's not going to be me—"

Alice suddenly thought: Senmut's thinking is the opposite of hers.If she had evasion, she'd wear it all the time, trying to be a monster that couldn't feel any human emotion.

"When I look back at the experience that made me extremely painful when I was young, looking back now, it is no longer completely painful."

"Thus, when the avoidance was shattered in my palm just now, I actually felt a little bit of relief in my heart."

"The fate of everything in this world is under the watchful eye of the gods. Then, avoiding the fragmentation at this moment means that its destiny has indeed come to an end, and it should no longer exist in the world."

"Of course, this means that I can no longer rely on the amulets given by the gods. The annoying characteristics must be suppressed by myself."

After Senmut finished speaking, he was about to put the evasive fragments into his sleeves. When he looked up, he noticed Erich who was standing beside him, and suddenly gave a deep salute.

"Dear first princess, before I find a way to control the empathy, I beg for your protection—"

Alicia: This...

Senmut needs her protection!

But she couldn't refuse, after all, she was half of the perpetrator in this accident.

Nanna next to Alixie opened her eyes wide, looking at her young lady and then at the high priest. She really couldn't understand what the two were talking about, what kind of characteristics, empathy... It seemed they were all human words, but Just don't understand.

For a while, the two parties separated politely and agreed to see each other tomorrow morning.

Before parting, Alixi still couldn't suppress her curiosity, and asked, "Master High Priest, if I want to ask you something, will I offend you?"

"You want to know what happened to me when I was young to pray to the gods like that?"

Senmut looked at her tenderly with a smile in his eyes.Obviously, he had already sensed Alicia's curiosity.

"When my biological mother passed away in front of me, I stayed with her for a day and a night..."

All of a sudden, Alicia regretted her curiosity.

Even if Senmut didn't say it, she could still imagine the pain and despair when she was dying, and let a child with special perception feel it all... This ability is really not a gift, but more like a curse.

Unexpectedly, recalling this past event at this moment, Senmut did not show any extra pain.

His eyes became more and more gentle, and his pale golden eyes looked at Ai Lixi, and he said with half memory and half feeling: "In retrospect, I am very grateful that she is full of attachment to this world, my mother... After leaving me At that moment, he still loves me."

At this moment, even without the talent of a strong empath, Erich felt the warmth without hindrance, and felt the most sincere feelings from Senmut's heart.
