From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Facing the clerks, Erich smiled more happily: "If you want to stay here and continue to be a clerk, you have to promise to make up for the property that was removed from the account within one year!"

Everyone was shocked: they still want to make up?

But after hearing that it was within a year, the Iagos all put their hearts back a little bit.

Most of the clerks are aristocrats with knowledge and life wisdom. They know that being greedy for money should not be greedy for death. The money they get should be used to make money.

Therefore, through their respective operations, most of them have generated a lot of extra wealth, and it is not impossible to fill the property back to the royal treasury.Pay it off within one year, and the time is considered loose.

"One more thing—"

Erich continued to smile and said, "I want you to confirm in writing about this evening."

The written confirmation that Ailixi said was confirmed by fingerprinting on a piece of papyrus that wrote the crimes committed by the clerks tonight.

When Iago saw Urania, the personal maid of the first princess, take out a stack of papyrus with pre-written words, he finally fully understood what the princess said was a coincidence——

They set up a trap and asked them, the clerks, to jump in seriously.

What about the beautiful and brainless vase princess that you promised?

At the same time, Erich also saw the speculation in Iago's eyes.

She couldn't help sneering in her heart: Burning account books has been done thousands of times by people both at home and abroad, and it's really not new.

However, in fact, she never considered the handover of the royal treasurer, and she never really wanted to let her attendants, craftsmen, and servants take over the management and accounting work of the royal treasurer from the clerks.

She is well aware that treasury management is not an easy task.And the people under her seem to be good at counting, and they can quickly add up the numbers on the accounts, but this is actually the only thing they know.

If the clerks are really replaced, the treasurer will definitely mess up, there is no doubt about it.

Therefore, Erich's goal is not to replace such an important position, but to allow these sophisticated and cunning clerks to listen to her and be controlled by her—when the time is right in the future, then consider replacement and punishment This group of people is not too late.

At present, the clerks have all obtained the papyrus for them to confirm with their fingerprints.

With a glance, Iago opened his mouth wide in surprise, and the cold sweat rolled down his back again.

Almost at the same time, he and his colleagues all knelt down straight, holding the papyrus in both hands and holding it high above their heads.

"My little ministers don't know that this is from His Majesty the Pharaoh!" Everyone said so.

Alicia's expression was flat, and she replied, "Otherwise?"

She seemed to be suggesting to the scribes that she was acting on the orders of the pharaoh.

The reason for this misunderstanding comes from the papyrus that everyone holds.Drawn on the paper are hieroglyphs that no one can recognize.

Older clerks such as Iago were able to recognize the hieroglyphs in monk script. Seeing the delicate and complicated pictographic symbols in front of them, the clerks only felt specious.

And there is only one type of writing in the world that can make them feel this way—the hieroglyphic writing, which can only be read by people with the blood of the pharaohs.

For a while, all the clerks regarded Erich as the agent of the pharaoh, and pressing her fingerprints on this hieroglyphic papyrus was tantamount to admitting to the pharaoh that her behavior was inappropriate.

But at the same time, the Pharaoh was also known for keeping his word.

The words written in hieroglyphs are equivalent to a sacred contract, and the content of the agreement cannot be changed. This means that after they press their fingerprints today, they only need to return the embezzled property and food and fill up the accounts without worrying about paying back in the future. There are other punishments.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for a while, borrowed ink one after another, painted it on their hands, and pressed their fingerprints on the papyrus.

The corner of Alicia's mouth was smiling, because she remembered the process of forging hieroglyphic documents with the two girls Nanna and Urania earlier——

This is the inspiration she got from the fake hieroglyphs in the underground tomb of the female pharaoh Nitocris——

Since no one else recognized it except Pharaoh Delos and High Priest Senmut.

And these two are not in Memphis, the capital of the kingdom, so why doesn't she create a document written in hieroglyphs?No one would recognize it anyway.

When all the clerks in front of me signed the hieroglyphic pledge, the paper would return to her, and become a tool that was used from time to time to restrain the clerks and urge them to fulfill their promises.

No one can understand the benefits that no one can understand, at least she is what she says.

It’s just that the forgery process at that time was a little painful——

"Cow dung, what kind of crooked tadpole is this?"

Nanna was troubled by the hieroglyphs that Elyse had collected and pieced together from all over the palace.

But Urania patiently covered a piece of almost translucent thin papyrus on another piece of paper that had already been drawn, and carefully traced the pattern through the paper, which seemed to be what female workers are used to. look.

But now, seeing them and these women join forces, and the document they described was identified as the handwriting of the pharaoh, Alicia felt so proud—she really wanted to say to the pharaoh Delos: Delos, you should thank me , Restraining the treasurer is a good thing for the whole country.

It is really unreliable that a deeply corrupt bureaucracy controls the distribution of wealth in the entire kingdom.

After all the clerks had their fingerprints on the papyrus, Nanna collected and counted all these documents one by one, and handed them to Urania.

The clerks watching saw that the head maid counted the numbers effortlessly, and they couldn't help feeling startled again—how could they have imagined that this ability was actually obtained by playing cards?

After finishing, Erich stretched out her hand and yawned, and ordered Tabac to tell the officials of the various Nomes outside that the food and property they deserved would be sent to each Nome one by one, and one by one. People were relieved when they heard the words, and gradually dispersed.

In the royal treasury, Urania withdrew all the handprinted hieroglyphs, but Nanna had a blank one in her hand.

Soon, Nanna asked from Iago that one of the clerks gathered here tonight was missing one, and he was one of the five people who participated in the competition during the day, named Brolin.

Erich had a slight impression of the gloomy man with small eyes, and still remembered his frightened and bewildered expression after seeing the numbers Tabac drew on the ground with chalk.

Could it be that this Brooklyn is a clean and good man?So did not participate in the actions of other clerks working overtime to set fire?

Alixi couldn't help yawning again - although her waist didn't show any changes, she had actually entered a period of lethargy, and it was so dedicated to keep watch in the night wind at such a late hour.

But before leaving, Erich still planned to give a big gift to the clerks in front of her.

She summoned Iago and two other clerks who were accused of setting the fire by herself, and used the Law of Similarity to silently summon three things, which were worn on the hands of the three.

Iago and his colleagues felt that their wrists felt a chill first, and then sank, and they were taken aback.

They were wearing a set of torture instruments on their wrists, and their wrists were firmly handcuffed. This set of torture instruments was hard, cold, and difficult to break free. The material was almost completely transparent, and no one present had seen it.

But Iago had seen such things in Pharaoh's prison, and knew that when the lock was locked and there was no key to open it, his hands could not move freely.

The oldest clerk had never been subject to such restraint and humiliation. The biting coolness from his wrist made him and his colleagues speak at the same time, begging the First Princess.

"Small punishments and big warnings..." Ailixi's eyelids were about to close, and she said softly, "Since you dare to lead people to work overtime and set fires, you should be punished accordingly. After a night of suffering, you will naturally be relieved." open."

She actually used a similar law to manifest ice handcuffs.

Though handcuffs didn't exist yet in this ancient Egyptian world.But similar objects do exist in the prisons of the Memphis palace, made of wood or bronze - so Erich's attempt can be successful.

Therefore, Alixi intends to name this spell shackles, not really handcuffs.

These ice shackles will hold a person overnight.As for whether Iago and others are smart enough to send the handcuffs to the fire to slowly roast, it depends on their IQ.

Erich didn't have high expectations for them, thinking that these clerks could never be like Senmut, the favored person of the god of IQ.

She was so sleepy that she fell asleep directly in the sedan chair, letting Urania cover her with a goat hair blanket to keep out the wind and cold.This kind of blanket is only produced in the mountains north of Hittite, and it is very expensive in Egypt.

Even in her sleep, Erich was thinking: Biola didn't pray tonight, it seems that Pharaoh and his brother Solan really didn't harass Biola anymore, and bought her precious rest time.

But at the moment when Elyse's sedan chair entered the Memphis palace, Elyse's intuition was touched, and she woke up suddenly.

Erich trusts Asut's instincts not to fool her.Immediately ordered the bearer who was carrying the sedan chair to put her down.Then he left quickly with the other attendants and maids.

She sent even Urania away, leaving Nanna alone.The former looked back at Alicia and Nanna as he walked away, his worry was palpable.

After confirming that there were no ordinary people around her, Alicia and Nanna, who was fully prepared for battle, opened her bedroom.

Even at night, the bedroom is as bright as day by the pine torches inserted in the holes in the walls.

Erich immediately saw where the anomaly came from——

The cat mummy that had inexplicably appeared in front of her bedroom was not in the place where she had placed it before going out at night.

On the contrary, a living cat is walking towards Elyse step by step with the same pace as the king of beasts, with the demeanor of the king of beasts.

This cat is pure yellow, with tabby patterns all over it, a pair of triangular pointed ears standing on the top of its head, its eyes are amber, and its pupils are like a full moon.

Its fur and patterns are exactly the same as the original cat mummy.But that was a mummy, and the one in front of him was a living cat that could walk and meow.

Nanna was so stunned that she even forgot the bow and arrow in her hand.

Besides, even if she really opened her bow and set her arrows, she couldn't shoot the clusters of golden arrows with the purification ability at the kitten who held her head up.

"Asut's premonition really helped you."

Suddenly there was a voice in the bedroom, the voice was pure and deep, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a male voice or a female voice.

And it has nothing to do with adjectives like shrill that can be associated with a cat's meow.

Alicia's eyes widened: Since entering this world, her world view has been refreshed again and again.

Before meeting the messenger of the beast with a human body, she thought it was amazing. Now she has turned the mummy she played with into a living animal, and she can speak human language...

"Ms. Asut, if you allow ordinary people to enter this dormitory, they will lose their eyes on the spot when they see my current form, and they will become completely deaf when they hear my voice. Before they are deaf and can understand what I say...they will go completely mad."

"So you chose to approach me in the form of a mummy at the beginning, and saved the people around me. I am very grateful for that."

Alicia bowed in salute.

Nanna was in a daze at the side, but at this moment, she dropped the bow and arrow in her hand with a bang, and hurried to help Alixie, and saluted together.

Nanna's reactions were not as quick as Alicia's in such matters.And she also willingly obeyed Alicia's hints and instructions, so as to keep the two of them acting in the same way.

The behavior of the two ladies clearly pleased the cat.

"May I ask which god you are?" Erich asked with her head lowered.

Coupled with the premonition in her heart, and the conversation just now, Erich can fully confirm that the other party is not an ordinary cat, nor is it a soul attached to a cat mummy, this is a god.

She vaguely judged that the cat god might not be a god with important influence in Memphis.Because she had absolutely no recollection of a cat-like temple in Memphis.

Of course, according to her understanding of Egyptian gods in later generations: the ancient Egyptians experienced a period of animal worship, and people once worshiped various animals as gods. become a god.

It's just that over the long years, the influence of some animal gods has declined.

Sure enough, Maomao responded: "I am Buster, the cat god, a slave god."

As the name suggests, a god is a god who is subordinate to other gods.

"Your purpose in entering the Memphis Palace is—"

Alixi still has the same temper, she doesn't speak secretly, and if she wants to ask something, don't beat around the bush.

"To remind you—"

"You will be in great danger."

"The Blessed One of the God of War can't protect you."

Alixi remained calm, while Nanna beside her had already turned pale.

"It's a good move you've played at the Royal Treasurer!"

The cat god's gorgeous and bright eyes kept shining as it spoke.

"But it also planted a lot of hidden dangers for you in advance."

"Are you willing to protect me?" Alicia asked honestly.

Otherwise, she really couldn't figure out why this cat god spent so much time by her side, pretending to be a mummy, and even being hugged and played by her like a real cat.

"I would, but I can't."

The cat replied...

Alicia was silent.

This answer is also reasonable, otherwise the cat god would not need to remind her face to face.

"Facing danger, I have to find a way to find asylum by myself?"

The cat god Buster put on a rather arrogant posture, and nodded Mao Mao's head.

"Yes, when you are in danger, I will be by your side—stand by and watch."

A question mark suddenly appeared in Alixi's heart: Are you here to eat melons for your relationship?

"In your previous form?"

she asked...

Mao Mao nodded again, indicating that she would appear beside her in the form of a cat mummy.

"Understood, thank you for your reminder. Do you have anything else to explain?"

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to say more, Alixi immediately planned to end the conversation directly.

She needs to think...and sleep...

The other party was also very satisfied with her quick and no nonsense attitude, and immediately replied: "Don't touch your head again!"

Alicia almost choked her throat, unable to speak for a while.

Earlier, when the cat god Buster turned into a mummy and appeared in front of her again and again, forcing her to keep it with her, Erich would sometimes reach out and touch the mummy as if it were a stuffed doll.

Who knows that people are now protesting-no head touching!

This is not the most speechless thing for her, because the cat god added: "It's okay to scratch your chin!"

Alicia: ...

She bowed and agreed with great respect on the surface, but she couldn't laugh or cry in her heart.

You are already a god, and you still retain the cat's preference, and you are willing to let people experience the pleasure of stroking the cat——

Although the feeling of a mummy cat is definitely different from your current one, I will try my best to satisfy you.

The cat god was immediately satisfied.

A gust of cold wind blew through Alixie's bedroom. Where the wind passed, there was a mummy cat lying flat on the ground, with two round cat eyes like a full moon.

After receiving the warning from the cat god Buster, Nanna, the favored God of War, was extremely nervous, and prayed to God Mengtu several times, hoping to get help from the God of War.

But Alicia didn't care that much.

After she put the mummy of the cat god back in place, she returned to the couch—she desperately needed a rest.

But before going to bed, Erich didn't forget to ask the talisman Ymir.This guy refused to go to the treasurer with Elyse, but he was willing to help with everything else.

"Ymir, can something like what you said really work?"

Yumir asked back: "Of course, but are you really going to do that?"

"Its potency is not an issue, but the timing of its use will be," it added.

Erich nodded, fell asleep peacefully, and forced Nanna to sit down on the couch in the corner of the bedroom to rest and take a nap.

While the clerks of the Royal Treasurer were working overtime to set the fire, Brelling returned to the home of one of his concubines, exhausted and full of doubts.

Before that, he hurried to the temple of the god Osiris, wanting to pray to the god and ask the god to solve his doubts, but he was dragged by the monks of the temple to help prepare for tomorrow's harvest festival celebration.

Because of the celebration, the shrine dedicated to the statue of Osiris in the temple was closed, and Bruin could not pray.Not even a chance to have a word with that special priest.

When they got home, Brelin's wife was very pleasantly surprised: "You came back early!"

It was only then that Brunin realized that he had made a mistake—according to the scheduled plan, he should have gone to another wife and concubine.
