From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

To change the course of the big river - this is hardly any difficulty for Erich.

Miss Biola in Tanis has now developed concrete that can solidify underwater.

And under Erich's command, there are many artisans and gods led by the priest of the god of artisans, Karam, and tools and weapons such as the potter's flywheel. It took almost no time for the Upper Egyptians to build a section of embankment in the riverbed of the river upstream of Memphis.

Take another ten thousand steps, even if engineering is not feasible, Erich can completely divert the river by virtue of her demigod ability, pointing the riverbed at the city gate south of Memphis, allowing the raging river to pass through the city, allowing This great city is divided into two by the same great river, so that the people of Memphis, who have never experienced floods, finally taste the taste of being fish and shrimp...

Erich did what she thought, and the first thing she wanted to do was to spread the news in the city of Memphis through her followers.

In the middle of the night, Minnie and Tabac, who were the royal treasurer's recorders, sat up from their respective houses at the same time, listening piously to the oracle from the god Amon.

When they heard that the gods would divert the river and that the monstrous flood would destroy the solid defenses of Memphis, these two devout worshipers felt intense fear in their hearts.

"You, as devout followers of God Amon and outstanding believers, naturally you don't have to worry about your safety."

In Minnie and Tabac's consciousness, the voice that belonged to the god reverberated solemnly.

Tabac's fear disappeared immediately, and he responded reverently: "Yes, your pious favored tabac thank you for your favor."

Minnie was a little late and didn't respond immediately.

Alicia waited patiently.

Based on what she knew of Mei Ni, it was absolutely impossible for this favored person to go against her wishes—although there might be doubts about it.Minnie is a woman with clear views and her own opinions.

"Great god, using the power of the great river to destroy the city of Memphis...wouldn't it be too cruel?"

Alicia closed her eyes, Minnie's question echoed in her ears.

"There are still many people who have lived in Memphis for generations in this city. They have never participated in the war launched by Pharaoh, and they have never been against Upper Egypt..."

"They may indeed believe in Ra, the sun god, but Ra is not the only god they believe in."

"Great God Amon, if I can persuade them to believe in you... Is it possible for you to forgive them from this disaster?"

Erich thought for a moment, and chose the small broadcast that ruled all the favored ones at the same time.

As a result, rumbling sounds sounded in the minds of Solan, Jangalai and others.

All the favored ones of God Amun heard the decree from the god: "God will send terrible punishment to Memphis who is stubbornly resisting."

"This punishment is the concrete manifestation of God's power and might in the human world."

"It is cruel revenge and punishment for those who do not believe in God."

"God does not speak of forgiveness before punishment."

This declaration of power shocked all Asut who followed the god Amun.

For a time, all the favored ones tremblingly prayed to the gods, expressing their piety and belief, as well as their unconditional respect for the mighty power of the gods.

Of course, after that, Erich knocked on Minnie's small window alone, asking Minnie to find those ordinary Memphis people in Memphis who are kind-hearted and willing to turn to believe in God Amon, and mark them so that This serves as a possible object of pardon.

After the news spread, Erich immediately felt Minnie let out a sigh of relief. This strong and independent woman immediately prayed devoutly to God Amon, thanking him for his kindness.

Let's hope Minnie doesn't label every Memphis person she knows as a target for pardon.

Alice thought.

There would be little need for fear to be collected if forgiveness was possible for all.

The next day rumors began to spread both inside and outside of Memphis.

In the Nomes of Lower Egypt, outside the capital, people trembled at the impending fate of Memphis.

These nomes may not be loyal to the pharaoh Delos.Even the vast majority have started to govern themselves under the 13-member council system brought by the Upper Egyptians, and their lives are better than when they were under the rule of Pharaoh——

But hearing the bad news about Memphis at this moment still makes people feel sad.

Behind the female pharaoh of Upper Egypt stands a new god.

The wrath of the gods is irresistible, and the only way to endure it is to suffer silently.

In the city of Memphis, the atmosphere was far more tense than other nomes.

This new plan of the Upper Egyptians hit the weakness of the Memphis, who were able to resist soldiers who were armed with weapons like themselves.But there is no way to resist the mighty power from the gods.

When this rumor began to spread in the city, some people felt hopeless.

They said they could no longer bear the fear.

"We have had enough, we have prayed countless times to the great sun god, but we have never received an answer..."

"We also believe in gods, but does this god really take care of us..."

The news spread to the royal court of Memphis, and the pharaoh who lived in seclusion in the royal court, like the sun god Ra, did not respond to the fear of the Memphis people.

There was a private gossip from the royal guards, saying that after hearing about this incident, the Pharaoh slammed his fists on the table and shouted loudly: "She--no-dare--"

No one can confirm.

No one knows how Pharaoh can conclude that the terrible disaster in the rumors will not happen.

However, gradually, news from the Royal Court of Memphis was deliberately released, saying that the pharaoh would try to negotiate with the Upper Egyptians.

The hearts of the Memphis people are more or less relaxed.

While various rumors are spreading in Lower Egypt, Erich is always surrounded by different opinions.

The craftsmen were eager to try the project Erich described.But as long as they think that their project will consume more than 3 lives, the craftsmen are terrified and dare not try anything.

Others worried about the thirty thousand living people in Memphis.Once the river diverted and floods rushed towards the city, these people had little chance of surviving.

Then there will be plague...and a ghost town where no one will dare to live in it for two or three years.

Memphis, as the royal capital of Egypt, has been accumulated for thousands of years, and it will also be destroyed.

Many people persuaded Elyse to try to communicate with the gods, hoping that the god Amon would be lenient, but Elyse declined because of the will of the god Amon.

Among those who frequently persuaded her, there were many long-term friends who had always been good friends with Erich and had deep feelings for her, such as the wife of the priest of Thebes, Felin.Another example is the Priest of the God of War, Nanna, the former head maid of the royal family who has followed Elyse for many years.

On this day, Nanna rushed to the temporary command tent built in Saqqara again to ask to see Elyse. Just as she was dealing with business related to the northeast and northwest border troops, Solan's guards left the priest of the God of War outside the tent. for a while.

But Nanna is impatient, and she couldn't bear it any longer after she waited long. She wanted to fight off Solan's guards, pull the general out of her young lady's tent and throw it away, so that she and the young lady could have a deep talk. .

When Nanna and Solan's guards were in a stalemate, and their eyes were wide open, Senmut came.

The young man with brown hair and golden eyes calmed down the anger of the Priest of the God of War in a warm spring breeze. He made an appointment with Nanna, and the two of them walked outside Alixie's camp and chatted casually.

"Lord Senmut—"

Nanna spoke, greeting Senmut in her trademark rough voice.

"Walking on the land of Saqqara really reminds me of many past events!"

"Priest of the God of War..." Senmut smiled for a moment, "Talking around the bush is really not suitable for you."

"If you want to ask anything, just ask."

Nanna blushed, then quickly turned her face to the side where Senmut was, and asked loudly: "Master Senmut, what happened, how did Miss become like this?"

Sen Mut remained calm and asked calmly: "You mean..."

Nanna said resentfully: "In the past one or two years, Nanna only focused on conquests in upper and lower Egypt and led the Upper Egyptians to resist the army of Lower Egypt. It has indeed been a long time since she stayed by Miss's side—but why has Miss changed so much now? big?"

"What changes?"

Senmut remained composed.

"3 people, [-] lives!"

"Miss doesn't seem to care at all. She just stands there, talking and laughing, and casually decides the fate of Memphis—"

"She was never like this before. In the past, whether it was Upper Egypt or Lower Egypt, even if ordinary people were injured or killed in wars, the lady would always feel sad if she didn't say anything... You should know this better than me. .”

"And that time, she personally led the Asiut people to evacuate..."

"And that time, she personally closed the eyes for Sekhmet's envoy..."

Nanna recalled these past events, her expression was quite excited, "I know very well that Miss was not like this before. It's like... It seems that all the human feelings in her body suddenly disappeared."

Senmut frowned slightly, "Master Priest of the God of War, maybe what you see in your eyes is not the real Erich..."

"Master Senmut, Nanna also feels that the change of Miss only happened in this short period of a year or so."

Nanna didn't seem to listen to what Senmut said, and looked at Senmut with extremely earnest eyes.

"What happened to her, you have been with her recently, you must know?"

Senmut narrowed his eyes: "What happened to her... I can't tell you, I don't have the qualifications."

What he and Alixie experienced, on the one hand, it is impossible to explain clearly to Nanna, and on the other hand...the more you explain, even Nanna herself may be in danger.

Nanna let out a sigh of relief, with disappointment on her face.

"However, Lord Priest of the God of War—"

Senmut suddenly raised his voice. He has always had the ability to manipulate people's hearts.But at this moment, he just raised his voice, trying to impress Nanna with his sincerity.

"Everyone is trying to make the best decision for themselves and others."

"The decision that is incomprehensible from you may have been reached to the extreme in her."

Nanna was stunned when she heard the words, the anxiety in her eyes gradually disappeared, and she became a little more rational.

She thought carefully for a long time, then raised her head and asked Senmut: "What should Nanna do?"

Senmut thought for a while, tilted his head and said in a daze: "Of course, from your point of view, make the decision you think is the most correct!"
