From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

"The king of the two thrones, the pharaoh of upper and lower Egypt?"

Alixi silently read the result of this divination.

Egypt is divided into Upper and Lower Egypt with the capital Memphis as the boundary.Namer, the founder of the first dynasty, once unified Upper and Lower Egypt and became the Lord of Upper and Lower Egypt at the same time.

However, the young pharaoh Delos only had a stronger control over Lower Egypt, and most of the nomes in Upper Egypt violated the authority of the pharaoh. There were even a few remote nomes who openly provoked and refused to recognize Delos as the Lord of Upper Egypt.

Senmut's divination unexpectedly got such a prophecy.

Could it be that the ambition that Ailixi revealed to the gods in order to escape the fate of being killed may really become her fate?

This is not the case.

Pharaoh Delos had a cold expression and dark eyes, staring closely at the great priest Dahor who was sitting on the ground, already crying with tears and snot in his nose.

He squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "Dahol, what do you say?"

The great priest bowed his head, fell on the ground paved with alabaster boards, and said in tears: "The old minister respects any decision made by the king."

Alicia: ...Damn it!

Is this the real-world effect of the drop in bar values?Has her luck come to an end?

The divination by the high priest Senmut brought an unbelievable prophecy:

That sounds good for Elyse, and heralds a possible turning point in her fortunes.

But in reality, this directly gave her a fatal blow.

Pharaoh Delos's attitude has eased after the great priest Dahor succumbed earlier, maybe Alicia doesn't have to die...

Unexpectedly, Senmut got such a shocking divination result.

In order to prevent the prophecy from coming true, Pharaoh Delos had no other choice but to kill the possible usurper in the future.

The great priest who was crying into tears said: "Egypt... can no longer afford a woman to ascend to the position of Pharaoh..."

Dahor wiped away his tears, showing an expression of sacrificing relatives, and said to Delos: "If my little girl learns that she is going to the underworld to break the terrible prophecy and for the peace of the whole of Egypt, even if she goes, she will go. Peace of mind..."

Alicia frowned: What kind of monster theory is this?

Could it be that once a woman becomes a pharaoh, the whole of Egypt will suffer?

Delos nodded slightly when he heard the words.

"Indeed."

"Great priest, the princess' sacrifice will be sympathetic."

"As the first princess, she will go to Hades on behalf of the king. After she dies, she will enjoy all the honor and sacrifices that belong to the first princess."

When Delos said this, there was an uncontrollable expression in his eyes and tone...sadness...

He turned his face away, looking at the courtyard full of acacias and the lotus blooming in the pond, immersed in the memories of the past—the sweet memories they had shared.

This is also a bit funny to say: earlier when Delos wanted to kill Elyse himself, this man was like a hard and smelly stone.

Later, after receiving the oracle from the gods, Elyse had to be executed for the sake of the whole of Egypt, but Delos was sad and sad.

The great priest lying on the ground raised his tear-stained face at this moment, looking at the pharaoh who was lost in memory, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips.

No one could see the fleeting smile of the great priest.

Only Alixi noticed the slight twitch of the cheek muscles on the side of the great priest, and guessed that he was smiling.

This great priest, who was obviously so sad that he was about to burst, could still smile uncontrollably——

How proud this guy is!

In the memory of the original body, the old father of Elyse was extremely loving and obedient to Elyse, so the original body was full of respect, love and dependence on his father.

But now it seems that this great priest is not simple.

He seemed extremely humble to Pharaoh and obeyed everything, but judging from the twists and turns just now, Pharaoh had actually lost.

Although the daughter of the great priest was about to be executed, Pharaoh felt guilty towards the priest's family.

This is probably what the great priest wants, and it is also the best result he can achieve in such a serious situation.

In exchange for Pharaoh's tolerance with his own daughter's life, maybe Dahoor can sit in his position as the great priest for many years in the future-this great priest is indeed very calculating.

Alice thought so.

She remembered that in the romance novel, the great priest Dahor was almost a character without any sense of existence.But now in front of her eyes, this loving father showed such a cunning side...

Ailixi wasn't surprised, after all, being backstabbed by her biological parents and being used as a bargaining chip... It's not like she hasn't experienced this kind of thing before.

But it reminded her: this world is no longer the world full of paper figures in the original work.

Alixie, you have only read the first volume of that book, let alone the superimposed world view now!

Don't treat anyone here with the stereotypes in the original work, preconceived ideas will only make your escape difficult!

Ailixi remembered that she had seriously considered the plan to escape from this place and ask the priest's father for help, and she couldn't help being afraid at this moment.

She gradually woke up from her contemplation, and suddenly noticed that the priest of the god, Senmut, was looking at herself with surprise in his eyes.

Erich knew that she was seen by the other party again, so she made a decisive decision and quickly withdrew from the Eye of Horus.

……

Senmut stared at the flat walls of the palace in ecstasy, until the pharaoh's voice sounded in his ears: "High Priest, what's wrong with you?"

Senmut was still a little dazed. He stared at the wall for a long time, confirming that the almost invisible shadow just now had already disappeared and would not appear again.

Then he turned to look at Tylos, and said in a low voice, "Great and wise Pharaoh, my servant seemed to feel the alert from the gods just a moment ago."

"God's Awakening?"

Delos was slightly taken aback.

Under what circumstances would the gods be vigilant about the affairs of mortals?

"Great and wise king..." Senmut knelt down very readily, "When I just did the divination for Princess Erich, I felt extremely strong resistance and obstacles before I got the result. Therefore, I am very worried. The results of the divination just now are incomplete."

"I beg you to prepare the altar, and let me do a complete divination again."

When Delos heard this, he glanced down at the great priest who was still crying on the ground, paused for a moment, and then dropped three words: "No need."

He lifted his feet to leave the palace, and left a sentence to the attendants in the palace before leaving: "Remove all the acacias here, and plant them in front of the mausoleum prepared for the princess..."

"Yes--"

People answer obediently.

When Elyse withdrew from the Eye of Horus, the Angel of Anubis was waiting in her small stone room.

The kobold looked calm, not surprised at all that Erich was able to use the Eye of Horus directly.

Alixie was no longer a stranger to this envoy. As soon as she saw him, she immediately asked him unceremoniously: "Why can't women become pharaohs?"

"Because before the great chaos and turmoil, the pharaohs of the dynasty happened to be women."

The Angel of Anubis seemed to anticipate what Elise was going to ask, and he answered it with his mouth open.

"Great chaos and upheaval②?"

Alixi searched the memory of the original body, and soon found the answer.

These were the two most chaotic and turbulent periods in Egyptian history, with natural disasters, dynasty collapse, and social disorder.

According to legend, the fall of the gods occurred during these two chaotic periods, which brought great disasters to the world.

Twice in succession, before the violent turmoil, the last monarchs of the dynasty happened to be female pharaohs.

Before the great chaos was the female pharaoh Nitocris, and before the great upheaval was the female pharaoh Sobkneferu.

Erich seemed to understand a little bit why the father of the original body, the high priest Dahor, would be so righteous.

It turned out that people believed that the ruling of the female pharaoh was the chief culprit of the unrest.

They see women in power as an original sin.Therefore, he tried his best to prevent a woman from becoming a pharaoh, just like Tylos, even if it was just a simple divination, the pharaoh would order without hesitation to directly execute his former favorite concubine who still had some feelings, and send him to underworld.

But that's obviously not fair - Erich thought.

First, the statistical sample size is too small.There were only two large-scale turmoils in the entire history of ancient Egypt, and it happened that the last monarchs were all women.

Why isn't anyone keeping track of the minor upheavals and dynasty changes, and whether men or women were in power when they happened?

Secondly, there are many factors that affect the fate of the country. The root cause of the turmoil caused by the intensification of social conflicts may have been buried decades or hundreds of years ago, and it did not erupt together until the heroine came to court.

These two last female pharaohs can be said to be responsible for the downfall of the dynasty.

But after understanding this, Erich can understand the decision of the gods very well.

It is too difficult for a woman to become a pharaoh.

She glanced at the inner elbow of her right arm, where there was only a ray of luck remaining.

Her bar value has been reduced to nowhere, and even the card on the inside of her left arm, which was originally full of light, has gradually become dim.

If this continues, she will die.

"Envoy, are you here to ask if I will change my mind?"

There was a bit of self-mockery in Alicia's words.

She won't.

Elysian never thought of changing course, following the expectations of the gods, returning to Delos, and continuing to be a favorite concubine.

Because then she will no longer be herself, she will become a poor marionette, completing stories she doesn't like in a life that doesn't belong to her.

"Not..."

The god Anubis maintains a demure demeanor with his wolf eyes and wolf kiss.But the pair of white wolf ears that turned from time to time revealed the mood of the envoy.

"One god, and only one god, has not given up on you."

It turned out that the pair of wolf ears expressed excitement and joy.

"As long as you become His divine favor, He is willing to save you from the current crisis."

"But it's up to you to deliver on your own promises."

Alicia had already heard the gods, and couldn't help but ask at this moment: "May I ask the honorable name of this god..."

"Amon! ③"

The kobold replied softly.
