Delos knew that Senmuth, as the priest of Tut, the god of knowledge and wisdom, did have this ability, and could see miracles that ordinary people could not see with the naked eye.

When he heard that even the gods passing by came to listen to his corner, Tilos couldn't help turning black.

"Stop talking about this, Senmut, I need you to prepare immediately to do this divination for the king."

"The content of the divination is... the fate of Princess Elyse."

"During the divination process, you must get rid of all human interference. What the king wants is the will that comes entirely from heaven."

Sen Mut bowed indifferently and said: "Your servant, go get ready."

When the high priest was about to step down, Pharaoh added another sentence: "When you are divination, the king and the high priest will watch."

Senmut was startled, and immediately remembered that the great priest was the biological father of the princess.

This is to use the results of divination to come to a clear conclusion for both parties.

The high priest bowed to express his understanding, and then hurriedly retreated, leaving the pharaoh alone in the temple full of memories.

Erich was caught off guard, and at the moment Senmut saluted her, she withdrew from the Eye of Horus.

She found herself sitting in the embalmer's cell, with the oil lamp left by the embalmer's master and apprentice still on the ground beside her. The light swayed slightly, and her shadow on the wall also swayed slightly.

It turns out that this is the magical function of the Eye of Horus.

Alicia's first reaction was to look at the ba symbolizing luck on the inside of her right arm.

Just before she entered the Eye of Horus, the beam of light on her arm suddenly shone brightly.

I don't know if I don't see it, it's incredible to see it.

Ailixi found that the beam of light on the inside of her right arm was shortened again.

It was only a quarter of the length of her arm before, but now it has shrunk to about a sixth, and a small dark cluster flickers between her elbows.

The kobold mistook me!

Erich's first reaction was that she used the Eye of Horus once, so she used up part of her bar.

Unexpectedly, during the short time she was staring at her right arm, Alixi witnessed with her own eyes that this beam of light was actually shortened by a bit...

In this way, the result of using the Eye of Horus can probably be ruled out.

Alicia raised her head, looked at the mark on the wall, and rethought.

Her guess is: during that time just now, the Anubis oracle had delivered her message to the gods.

The gods, however, were not impressed by her ambition.

One by one they rejected her.

Even the gods did not believe that a young woman like her could snatch the power from the orthodox pharaoh Delos who inherited the throne.

None of them had any interest in investing in her.

Losing the favor of God is equivalent to losing the already slim chance of escape, so her luck value keeps dropping.

That's fair—Alice thought to herself: I don't want to force myself to beg for favors, and the gods naturally have reasons to reject me.

But is there really no longer any hope of escape?

Ellie hoped for a short piece of faint light between her elbows, raised her head again, and looked at the Eye of Horus on the wall.

She is definitely a person who does not shed tears without seeing the coffin.Although the person who will put her in the coffin is out there, Erich is determined to make a last-ditch attempt to find any clues that can save her from her fate.

The last bit of light in her arms suddenly began to bloom, and one after another expanding hexagons appeared around the Eye of Horus, covering Erich...

The transparent face that belonged to Elyse once again appeared on the wall of Pharaoh Delos' palace.

This time, High Priest Senmut was facing due south, sitting cross-legged, bathed in the silvery moonlight coming in from outside the temple.Three silver candles were burning beside him, forming an equilateral triangle.

The amulet carved with the ear-covering baboon has been removed. At this moment, Senmut's eyes are closed, his waist is straightened, and his hands are folded and pressed tightly against his chest.

Sitting motionless, the young and handsome High Priest looked like an alabaster statue in the moonlight.

There was also a roll of papyrus, ink and other items stacked in front of him.

There was a strong and fragrant aroma of plant essential oils in the air, which seemed to have a calming effect. After smelling it, Erich felt a little at ease—it was much fresher than the smell from the master and apprentice of the embalmer next door.

Ailixi searched the original body's memory, and finally got some impressions of this ceremony: this is a kind of divination, called the oracle method, which is cast by the fortune-teller and obtains the oracle from the gods by relying on her own spirituality.

This method has very high requirements on the spellcaster itself. Looking at the whole of Egypt, few people can complete it.

Only a person like the priest of the gods is qualified to communicate directly with the gods and obtain the instructions of the gods.

Erich just interrupted her peeping through the Eye of Horus. She knew that Pharaoh would ask Senmut to divination, but she didn't know what the divination was about.

At the other end of the corridor, footsteps sounded again.

"Great Pharaoh, the most benevolent king of upper and lower Egypt, Your Majesty Delos, please recite your love for my little daughter who has been with you for many days, and let her stay by your side to serve!"

The sunlight casts into the pharaoh's palace from the giant red sandstone pillars, casting uniform shadows one after another on the ground.

Between these giant pillars, a man in a linen robe fell to his knees with a plop, at the feet of the pharaoh Delos.

This man's face is only about forty, but his beard and hair are white, and he looks mature and prudent.

Alicia felt sad again: she knew this man.

This is the original father, the great Egyptian priest Dahor.

The original body has countless memories and attachments to this old father.At this moment, seeing his father, who is a great priest, begging so humblely, Yuanshen naturally couldn't bear it.

"Last month, the princess ordered the royal clerk to be flogged to the point of death for having mistaken the boundaries of the land the king had gifted her by a thousand cubits..."

The stern voice of Pharaoh Delos sounded.

"Last month, the princess ordered someone to kill the divine bull Apis ③ that was intended to be sacrificed to Dahe. It is said that the cow's mooing disturbed her..."

"Three months ago..."

"half year ago……"

While the High Priest knelt tremblingly on the sunlit alabaster floor, the pharaoh Delos stood in the shadows.

The shadow of the huge stone pillar covered all the expressions on his face, and only his calm and indifferent voice echoed in the hall.

On Alicia's transparent face that slightly protruded from the wall, she couldn't help showing a faint smile——

It seems that Yuanshen is indeed a spoiled, domineering concubine who does things without thinking, and has done a lot of wrong and bad things.

From the attitude of the great priest Dahoor begging the pharaoh for her, it can be known that this is a girl who has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, and she was cared for and raised.

But Pharaoh's attitude of not stopping the admonition before and after the event, but rectifying the general account after the autumn, is really chilling.

"Since Erich became the king's woman, she has obtained the supreme glory and privileges that surpass all people in the kingdom. But she doesn't know how to be rare and make good use of it..."

Faced with such a cold and stern face of the pharaoh, the great priest confessed his daughter's guilt very humbly: "If the mistakes made by the princess can still be compensated, then the old minister is willing to give everything to make up for the princess. I only ask my king to forgive her youthful recklessness. Even if she is only left as a lowly servant girl by the king's side, it's okay..."

As Alixi listened, she continued to label Delos in her heart: turning over old scores, narrow-minded...

At this point, Delos glanced at the great priest at his feet, and finally slowed down his tone: "The king gave her the highest status and honor at the beginning, and it was because of the hard work of the great priest and General Solan for the country..."

Hearing this, Alixi suddenly got an inspiration: Wait, maybe the real purpose of this guy to embarrass the original body is to force the great priest to spit out key powers?

Maybe Delos didn't really have to kill the original body?

Erich begins to wonder about Pharaoh's true motives.

In her impression, in the real history of Egypt, there were indeed several dynasties in which the clergy controlled the power.The pharaoh has a false title and is just a puppet of the priests and priests.

If this pharaoh is not completely in love, and meeting Biola doesn't have that much influence on Delos, then he really has no other reason to put his bedside person to death.

Especially... Threatening the life of the woman beside him can bring him more power and more benefits.

This method is simple and crude but effective - if the high priest really loves his daughter.

Dahoor leaned down and almost touched his forehead to the ground.

"The most noble existence in the entire world, the Pharaoh who possesses the mighty power bestowed by God, as long as you can forgive Elyse's life and allow her to stay by your side, whatever you want the old minister to do...you can..."

The great priest who loved his daughter eagerly couldn't hold back any longer.

"Dahor..." Delos responded in a deep voice.

"This is what you promised yourself."

Alicia thought to herself: If the pharaoh's goal can be achieved, will this man take back his promise to make her a mummy?

"I have ordered the High Priest to seek the oracle."

Delos' expression and tone turned amiable.

"Let the fate of the princess be decided by the gods."

It was suddenly dark outside the pharaoh's palace, and the bright moon was obscured by thick clouds.

The cold wind swirled in from outside the hall, dispelling the fragrance specially prepared for divination.

The people in the hall shivered at the same time.

In an instant, the moonlight reappeared, and continued to shine brightly on the ground of the pharaoh's palace.

And Senmut just opened his eyes at this time.

In the pair of eyes, the place where the eyes were originally is now empty, empty like two seas of stars.

But this state did not last long. Senmut closed his eyes again, opened them, and his eyes had returned to normal.

His face was as white as paper, his newly opened eyes were confused and melancholy, and a thin line of blood leaked from each corner of each eye.

This appearance not only presents a rare beauty in the world, but also looks strange and terrifying.

"Senmut!"

Pharaoh stepped forward and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Senmut gradually slowed down, and wiped the blood from the corner of his eyes: "It's okay, but when I got the result of the divination, I encountered some... resistance..."

He immediately bowed his head, picked up the pen and ink, and rustled a line of text on the papyrus prepared in advance.

As soon as Senmut finished writing, this page of papyrus was snatched by Delos and held in his hand.

After reading the words on the papyrus, Delos opened his eyes, his eyes were fixed on the paper, his hands trembled slightly.

It seems that Delos is also unwilling to believe this result.

But he couldn't believe it.

At this time, Delos was standing in front of Elyse, and the scroll in his hand was in full view in front of Elyse.

This is a great opportunity for Erich to see the results of the divination.

Alicia was dumbfounded as if she had been hit by someone.

All that was written on the papyrus were hieroglyphic symbols, and she didn't know a single word.

She was a librarian before transmigrating into a book, but became illiterate after transmigrating into a book... This, the gap is too great.

Seeing the image of Delos, the great priest Dahor was shocked and frightened.But I really want to know what was written on that roll of papyrus.

Delos sighed suddenly, and threw the roll of papyrus in front of Dahor.

The great priest quickly rolled up the scroll and held it in front of him.

After he finished reading the writing on the roll of paper, Dahoor's body quickly began to tremble.

This elderly man seemed to have had his soul taken out of him suddenly. Dahor's face was pale, his eyes were out of focus, he couldn't close his mouth, and he knelt on the spot distraught.

He struggled to speak, but for a long time he could only choke out a sentence: "If... if this is the result, the old minister will obey... obey His Majesty's... any will."

After saying this, the great priest completely lost his strength, he couldn't even kneel down, and sat down directly, crumbling.

In the end, it was the high priest Senmut who took back the papyrus scroll from Dahor, and whispered the result of his divination.

"Pharaoh Delos's concubine Erich... the king of the thrones of the two lands, the king of upper and lower Egypt... Pharaoh..."
