From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

"Oops, there's no water..."

A craftsman hugged the pangolin mummy installed on the huge ice door, watched the tail slowly squeeze out the last drop of water, and greeted his companions with an exaggerated expression.

"We're going to run out of water—"

In recent days, the big river water brought in from the outside has become clearer and clearer, which is very convenient for washing.The prospect of no water availability is very depressing.

"Stupid you, there's no water outside, doesn't that mean we can go out?"

The other two servants who came up to watch laughed aloud.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and the smile or worry on their faces gradually disappeared.

Suddenly the three shouted in unison: "Ah——"

"The water receded!"

"Can we go out now?"

There was unbelievable joy in the voice, and a trace of fear of the unknown outside.

This news quickly swept through the entire underground space. Everyone stopped their trivial matters and rushed forward, immediately blocking the area around the exit of the hall.

People then hurriedly made way for a passage, allowing Erich, Nanna, Senmut and Karam to approach.

In Erich's view, there are many ways to confirm the external situation: her Eye of Horus, Senmut's tuning fork divination, etc., are all methods.

But in the end, everyone unanimously selected the method-letting a pigeon out.

Pigeons were originally one of the ingredients that the high priest's wife packed in Alicia's luggage, and people took them with them when they went underground to seek refuge.

It's probably because of the sympathy for these small animals who are in trouble, and no one thinks of eating it.And Alicia has no special interest in this kind of cute food.

These few pigeons with white feathers and beautiful shape survived smoothly with everyone.One of them takes on the heavy responsibility of exploring the outside world today.

Soon, the ice door that Elyse used to close with the law of similarity was scorched with flames to create a round hole by the peasants.Water vapor from outside the cave gradually invaded, but there was only some water vapor.

Karam is holding the pigeon, ready to release the little one.

Alicia thought to herself: I don’t know if today’s story will gradually evolve into a myth after it spreads.

"Let it out, will this guy find his way back?"

Karam, holding the pigeon in both hands, asked suddenly.His son Hansu nodded with wide open eyes, expressing the same suspicion.

After all, this is a meat pigeon, not a professionally trained carrier pigeon.Moreover, most of the roads between the outside world and the underground tombs are underground, with dim light, complex terrain and forked roads.

This white fat pigeon squatting in Karam's hand and cooing, probably will only bravely go to freedom, and will not return to the ground after hard work to report to people.

Unexpectedly, Senmut stretched out his hand with a smile at this time, gently stroked the back of the pigeon's neck and feathers, and said softly, "No, there is no need for it to come back here again."

Erich has been paying close attention to Senmut since the door was opened—if people will face danger when leaving this underground space, the high priest should be one of the people who can perceive it the fastest.

She keenly noticed that Senmut's ivory-colored right hand gently stroked the long feathers on the pigeon's wings, and the index finger and thumb stroked lightly very imperceptibly, bringing a short strand of hair from the tail of the long feathers. fluff.

Ai Lixi blinked her eyes: What a guy...you actually plucked pigeon feathers?

At this time, the talisman Ymir wearing on her chest spoke, and it lowered its voice and said, "Dear master, please pay attention, the priest of God is demonstrating the application of the law of contact."

Since entering this huge underground space, Erich left Ymir aside to calm down, neither wearing nor chatting with it.Only put it back on now when it's time to leave.

At this critical point, Ymir really spoke.

As early as when Ymir used the spell to Erich and Senmut Cop, he mentioned that there are two basic principles of spells: one is the law of similarity, and the other is the law of contact.

At that time, Elixie decisively closed the door in the face of the incoming huge waves, and Senmut simulated the sun rising and setting in the east, all using the law of similarity, that is, the law of adaptation.

But at that time, Ymir never mentioned the law of contact again, and in order to subdue this talisman, Erich deliberately ignored it, and never asked about it again.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Yumir took the opportunity to start on-site teaching.

Alicia nodded slightly, remembering it in her heart, but she was not in a hurry to ask for advice.After all, Ymir is still in a cooling-off period.To completely subdue this talisman, one should not act too hastily.

After the short piece of pigeon down reached Senmut's finger, Senmut nodded to Karam, indicating that the little guy can be released.

Hearing the sound of flapping wings, the plump pigeon bravely flew out of the hole on the ice door, and quickly disappeared into the darkness on the other side.

And here, Senmut gently licked the pigeon down with the two fingers of his right hand, and lowered his head.

He opened his eyes, but the golden pupils in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a darkness and depth, dotted with bits and pieces of shimmering light.

Erich noticed this because of her proximity and her constant attention.

Besides her, only Hunsu, because of his short stature and just squeezed in front of Senmut, also saw this.

The boy was startled, but obediently, he didn't yell immediately. Instead, he looked around for help. He happened to meet Alicia's eyes, and he calmed down a little when he saw Alicia's comforting eyes.

At this moment, Erich has roughly understood the general meaning of the contact law: Senmut had contact with the pigeon, and kept a certain item (fluff) on the pigeon, and had contact with the pigeon, It is estimated that within a certain distance, Senmut can use the pigeon's vision. ②

Erich wrote down this conjecture, and planned to ask this talisman after Ymir's cooling-off period was over, to see if she could apply this law of contact to Biola, and use this principle to create a relationship between the two of them. establish some connection.

Except for Erich and Hansu, the others didn't notice Senmut's abnormality, and either anxiously or patiently waited for the result.

After an unknown amount of time, Senmut lowered his head and said, "The river has receded... Saqqara Palace, most of the Saqqara Palace has been destroyed. But the land around is already out of the water... The king personally came to welcome you."

After saying this, Senmut raised his head, his eyes were calm, and his pupils had returned to normal.

His last words were spoken to Erich.

"Has the king personally come to welcome the princess?"

Before Erich made a statement, the civilians around her burst into cheers.

"Great!"

People are genuinely happy for Alicia.

Their lives were saved by Elyse, and during these days of refuge together, they developed deep feelings with Elyse and the people around her.

They all seemed to be eagerly looking forward to the first princess returning to the royal court, returning to the pharaoh's side, and living a life of luxury... a life they had never imagined.

Alixi only glanced at Senmut, and saw that he looked calm, without any special expression.

Of course Erich knew about the arrival of Delos—she had already learned that Pharaoh came to Saqqara to find her through the movement in the Memphis palace.

She also knew the meaning of Senmut's reminder——

They had agreed that once they walked out of the underground tomb of the ancient pharaoh, Senmut would be the pharaoh's loyal subject, and he would not act in favor of Erich.

For a while, Karam led the minions to help melt the thick ice door with torches, connecting the space of the underground tomb with the outside world.

People quickly packed their few things on their backs, held pine torches for lighting, and slowly followed Karam and others, along the way they came, and returned step by step, towards the world they were familiar with.

They didn't dare to leave anything in the tomb of the female pharaoh, and even took out the waste water and sewage in the swim bladder for disposal.

Senmut stayed last, along with Erich and Nanna.In Nanna's hands, she still held up the forty watts she had used when she came here.

At the moment of her departure, Alixi stopped again and looked back at the underground palace that had given her shelter and hope.

The solar ship transformed from travel is still slowly moving in the air, and the warm sunlight illuminates the small spaces separated by hedges in this hall.

With a wave of Senmut's hand, the hedges that covered the statue of the former female pharaoh Nitocris quickly disappeared, turning into gray-green powder flying in the air.

The solemn and glamorous face of the female pharaoh was revealed again in front of Ailixi and others from a distance.

Erich and Senmut looked at each other, and they both bowed to Pharaoh Nitocris at the same time, thanking her for leaving behind this miraculous project that saved everyone's lives.

Then Senmut recited the mantra silently again, and the tall palm trees, low shrubs, and creeping vines that were used to separate the space earlier dissipated and turned into green powder. Under the light of Nanna's golden arrow clusters, slowly It slowly sinks to the ground until it disappears completely.

Nanna helped Alicia to turn around.

"Miss, I have to go."

Erich's eyes just glanced over Senmut's face, and found that the other's beautiful eyes were also staring at her.

The two stood side by side, with a distance of less than a cubit.

But as long as this step is taken, all previous cooperation and friendship will be over.If there was ever a friendship between them.

Senmuth is loyal and upright by nature, which was written early in the original book.

But his loyalty and integrity now created this huge gulf between the two of them.

As long as Delos remains the pharaoh of Egypt, as long as she hasn't reached the position she wants—

Senmuth would stand between them forever against her, both of them knew that.

Alicia is firm in her heart: walk out of this door, you go your way, and I cross my bridge.

Senmut could naturally feel her coldness.

The lines of his handsome face appear softer, as if to say: Thank you for the blessing and support in the past.

At this moment, Alicia suddenly felt a gentle spiritual power, touching her heart silently, and instantly smoothed the resistance and hostility in her heart.

Her brows were stretched, her eyes were pure, and she looked at Senmut.

Alicia was secretly surprised.

Is Senmut's power to manipulate emotions already so strong?

You know, when he first entered this underground shelter a few days ago, Senmut needed an anchor to help him stabilize his emotions, lest he go crazy or collapse after being affected by too many other people's emotions.

But now, can Senmut affect his anchor in turn?

Nanna supported Ailixi, bent over and slowly stepped out from the exit behind the high-backed throne.

The Eye of Horus that was once infused with spirituality here has been completely dimmed.

Alicia set up a pergola with her hands to temporarily block the strong light in the afternoon, so that she, who had just walked out of the dark environment, could quickly switch over.

What came into view was the ruins of the Saqqara Palace.

The day I first arrived at the Saqqara Palace seemed like yesterday.

But what about the grand palace supported by huge stone pillars?What about the bronze doors with acacia flowers?What about the empty and flat square outside the door?What about the fence around the square?

……

Erich raised her head and looked around, and there was only a bare high-backed throne standing in front of her, standing alone among the devastation.

Even the foundations around the palace collapsed, making the throne and the underground entrance behind it the only ones standing here.

Apep - maybe it was the gigantic beast.

Erich guessed in her heart, recalling what she saw underwater through the Eye of Horus.

So she turned her head to look for the astronomical platform in the palace, and immediately saw the stone tablet that was cut off from the ground and lying in the black mud——

In addition, she also saw the king's ship stranded in the mud, and Tyros standing beside the king's ship with a gloomy face looking at her.

Senmut stepped into the sun one step later than Erich. He raised his head and looked at the lonely throne beside him, and said with certainty after just one glance: "The original mound——"

"It's really the original mound."

The high priest circled around the tall hill and the high-backed chair above it with great interest.

With just one glance, he confirmed the fact that the original mound had risen, which made Sasha, the deputy priest who had been kneeling beside the stranded king's ship, ashamed——

As expected of a priest of God who follows the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, he confirmed this original miracle at a glance.Sasha himself thought about it for a long time before he thought of it.

It's just that Sasha didn't know that Senmut and Erich had gone down to the depths of the ground and explored the mysterious and frightening primordial, and it was not difficult to associate it with the primordial mound.

Erich, however, knew nothing about the primordial mound.

She can't care less about exploring any miracles now, she has to face the pharaoh husband who exiled herself here and found it here after she was in danger.

So, Elise supported Nanna's arm, came to the high-backed throne, and looked down at the pharaoh Delos standing not far away.

The civilians who left the underground shelter earlier than Ailixi were all kneeling in the ankle-deep mud at this moment.

Karam is personally leading a dozen craftsmen to lay reed and papyrus mats between the stranded king's ship and the original mound, and use these materials to quickly pave a straw mat path that can separate the silt.

Erich clearly remembered that these straw mats were the bedding of commoners, and they always praised the toughness of papyrus. Take these bedding home, take good care of it and it will last for years...

Now these things are thrown in the mud without mercy, the only purpose is to prevent the pharaoh's precious feet from being contaminated with a little bit of mud that shouldn't be contaminated.

Everyone's face was on the ground, half lying in the mud, full of fear, as if it was only natural to dedicate everything to Pharaoh, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

In an instant, the straw mat path was set up, directly connecting Elyse and Pharaoh Delos.

Karam quickly retreated with all the craftsmen, kneeling in the mud.He gently poked his son Hunsu's little head to divert the child's eyes from looking directly at the pharaoh himself.

For a moment, there was silence on the ruins of the Saqqara Palace, and no one dared to speak.

Delos also saw no one else in his eyes, he could only see Elyse, the favorite woman of Delos in the past, walking in the Memphis palace forever like a proud peacock.

Now she is almost completely without jewelry, her hair hangs down, her slender neck is exposed, she wears the most concise corset, a tube skirt, and a slender waist, her figure is as slender as ever.

Since the day he met Erich, Delos has never seen her dressed so plainly, even shabby.

But at this moment, she is standing pretty in the distance, still so vividly beautiful, so real, it is almost doubtful whether all the creatures in the world will be compared to her and take away their brilliance by her side.

But is this still the Alicia he knew in the past?

She stared at him defiantly.

Yes, he had allowed it—

He had allowed her to look directly at Pharaoh, but only if she was on the couch, or sitting on his lap, and she had to look up.

Tylos lifted his feet and walked forward, faster and faster, along the path built for him by the peasants.

His fists were clenched tightly, and his masculine strength was gathering.The ambition in his heart soared into the sky, making him instantly feel like being burned by fire, ready to be ignited at any time.

She... She should have come up to him softly, entangled her soft snake-like body gently, and soothed his heart that was so thirsty that it was almost cracked.

And him, he wanted to grab her hair hard, forcing her to lean back, to keep looking up at herself, looking up at the cold eyes without the slightest pity.

That was his woman, in front of his wild impulse, she was only qualified to bear it tactfully.

But now, he has almost come in front of Erich, she still stands with her knees straight, pretty and lively, her eyes are calm and calm, and there is even a mocking smile on her lips.

Delos could hardly control himself, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could have taken her right away, on this rough straw mat, in this dirty mud, in the most unbearable way.

At that time, all the people around can only bury their heads in the mud, lest they see anything they shouldn't see or hear anything they shouldn't hear.

But at this moment, Delos suddenly saw Senmut standing next to Erich.

Senmut was looking at the pharaoh in surprise, and when he saw Delos' eyes turned, he quickly lowered his eyes and lowered his head.

But his fair-skinned handsome face gradually turned red, all the way to his neck.

The high priest seemed to perceive the pharaoh's undisguised primitive impulse in broad daylight.

Delos' face became more serious, and his eyes followed the high priest's reddish neck, which was exposed under the linen robe, but he didn't see the evasion that he was always familiar with.

At this moment, Delos wanted to reach out and grab Senmut's collar, lift up this former courtier and friend, drag him to his side, and ask him exactly what he felt——

The king's dignity instantly collapsed in front of his most loyal courtiers.

This is obviously a woman he abandoned like walking on.

But he was so obsessed with it, he only wanted to possess it.

He hates it so much.

And she didn't move.

Alicia was still standing higher, and continued to look down at Delos, facing the impulsiveness and fury in his eyes, and even raised the corners of her mouth leisurely.

Her queen-like haughty posture had to remind Delos of one or another prophecy—those prophecies actually pointed to the same outcome.

From now on, he must make her his enemy.

Or, if he really regarded her as an equal opponent, at this moment, he, Delos, had already lost.

Tylos walked two steps in front of Elyse, and the two could almost hear each other's breathing.

At this time, no one was obsessed with the issue of etiquette anymore, and they all knew that after meeting, it would be a head-to-head contest.

Unexpectedly, four, five, six, seven or eight voices sounded at the same time: "My king—"

"Miss--"

"Enemy attack!"

"careful!"
