From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Viola prayed very late this time as usual, but fortunately, Erich is no longer easily sleepy now.Even in the middle of the night, there will be times when you will be full of energy, and sometimes you will not be able to sleep.

She immediately entrusted the safety of her bedroom to Nanna and Urania, and then logged into the Eye of Horus to visit the girl who sounded flustered and sad as she prayed, as if her soul had been lost.

Almost without any delay, Erich's face quietly emerged from the surface of a support column in the tent.

The lights in front of her were brightly lit, but her ears were quiet. The sound of burning pine torches turned out to be the main theme in this tent.

Viola hugged her knees, shivering and curled up on her wooden couch, her face was covered with tears.Except for this young girl, the scene in the tent has completely changed.

The neat layer of white sand that was originally laid out outside of Biola's wooden couch, on the edge of the tent, and in front of the various entrances and exits has long been trampled out of shape, with footprints everywhere, and the dark brown land directly exposed in many places.

There were two groups of people standing tensely in the tent:

On one side were Pharaoh Delos and his few guards;

On the other side was General Solan, and behind him stood generals and soldiers with stern expressions.

Soran was stretching out his right arm at this moment, holding the sharp spear sent to his chest and abdomen by a pharaoh guard with only one hand.

He was probably a man of high skill and boldness, and he didn't even wear a breastplate.But that right palm seemed to be made of iron, holding the lower edge of the spear point. No matter how hard the opposing guard tried, even bending the spear body into an arc, the sharp spear point could not move forward at all——

Until Solan let out a breath and exerted force casually, the pharaoh guard suddenly lost control of the spear and fell to the ground on his back.

With this hand, even Pharaoh pursed his lips tightly, with admiration in his eyes——

Although Solan is young, he is truly brave, and he is a well-deserved brave general.

Erich was not only concerned about this camp.She looked out from under the raised tents on all sides, and she could see dots and dots outside the camp. I don't know how many people were holding torches and guarding outside—it was conceivable that they must be Solan's subordinates.

Viola is still wearing the sparrow feather headdress that Elyse used to have at this moment, and she relied on this to pray to Elyse just now.

But the girl's face was pale, trembling all over, sweat could be seen faintly on her forehead, and the bird feather headdress was even worn askew.

It should be because of the great fright and shock just now. Even Biola, who has the halo of the heroine, cannot maintain an absolutely perfect posture and appearance.

Erich saw it very clearly. Pharaoh Delos glanced at Viola, glanced at the bird feather headdress she was wearing, and frowned, with a trace of disgust in his eyes.

And on the white sand floor in front of the girl's couch, there was a corpse lying on its back.

Judging by the color of the suit, it should be a soldier under Solan's command. It may be one of the guards in charge of guarding Biola. He has become familiar with Biola recently.

Such a living person died in front of Biola, which shocked and frightened this pure and kind girl.

The body of this guard looks like a mummy that has been placed here for a long time. The moisture in the facial skin seems to have completely disappeared, and the skin and the remaining flesh and blood are tightly attached to the skull.

But even so, it can't cover up the moment of shock before the death of the deceased.

He opened his mouth wide, and seemed to be screaming in horror, and stretched his hand behind his back, as if he was trying to stop his companion from coming forward.

His expression and posture were completely fixed at the moment of life disappearing, and were quickly preserved, almost becoming a veritable death sculpture.

Erich had seen this situation once in the embalmer's workshop, and knew that it was the effect of a curse.

Thinking of the content of Biola's previous prayer, Erich made a decisive judgment - this person touched Biola, and immediately became like this.

Counting it, it was less than ten days since the pharaoh arrived in Tanis.

So, Solan didn't lie?

Viola was really cursed!

This brother is really ruthless——

Alicia couldn't help sighing secretly in her heart.

At this moment, Biola saw the phantom figure floating on the pillar at a glance, blood color appeared on her face instantly, and her red lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to greet the gods.

Alicia immediately blinked three times in a row:

don't want!don't want!

Biola paused and immediately understood.

With the protection of the gods behind her, the girl really calmed down now.

Her expression became solemn again, and she reached out to straighten the sparrow feather headdress on her head, corrected her sitting posture, and tried to put on a relatively calm expression and posture.

Alicia turned her gaze to Pharaoh again.She hadn't noticed before that the description of Pharaoh Delos also seemed a little bit embarrassed.

The pharaoh actually wore civilian clothes that ordinary Egyptians would wear.

He wasn't even that walking little treasury anymore. Apart from wearing one or two gold chains around his neck, all his golden accessories were put away at the moment, and it was even more impossible for him to wear any headgear with special symbolic meaning.

The Lord of Egypt now seems to Erich, even in a state of planning to run away.

Sure enough, Solan snorted coldly: "My king—"

"You seem to have forgotten this before you were about to leave."

In his hand was a box made of high-quality wood. The box had obviously been carefully maintained, repeatedly painted with grease, and the surface was so smooth that it could reflect light.

Solan seemed to be very familiar with the hidden buttons on the box, and opened the box with a snap, revealing the important items stored inside——

red crown...

This is the symbol of Lower Egypt, and the pharaoh wearing a red crown is the highest and only ruler of Lower Egypt.

It's fine for Pharaoh to leave in disguise, but he can't help but admire that he can leave such an important thing behind in order to escape.

The generals and soldiers behind Solan immediately showed expressions of disdain.

But Pharaoh Delos remained calm, and responded indifferently: "It's just a dead thing. It is not a hat that can rule Egypt."

His response cheered up the guards behind the pharaoh a little, they all raised their heads and puffed up their chests, and they were no longer as depressed as before.

Solan swiped down with his right hand, pointing at the corpse on the ground: "But in my barracks, the soldiers who killed me—"

"Even if I call you Your Majesty, I still want you to give me a clear explanation."

Soran's words were resounding, and the soldiers under his command heard that the general stood up for their dead comrade without hesitation in front of the Pharaoh. They were equally excited for a moment, straightened their backs, raised their chins, and tightened their faces. Always ready to obey.

At this moment, a timid voice sounded.

"But……"

This voice is soft and compassionate, but at the same time weak and pitiful, it makes people's heart tremble, and it is impossible not to pity.

In such a large tent, everyone's eyes turned to the speaker.

The young girl's expression was dignified and pitiful. She looked sadly at the shriveled corpse lying on the ground. No one would doubt the apology in her heart.

"Catullus died because of me."

"He died from the curse that was on me."

"I don't know how to compensate him, but as long as I can do it, I'm willing to do it, to compensate—"

The girl's words were so sincere, and her voice was so mellow and melodious.

The tense atmosphere in the tent actually relaxed the moment her voice fell.

Only Erich wanted to reach out to touch her forehead at this moment: Please, Biola, can you stop being so sincere?

She was convinced that Soran would not dare to do anything to Pharaoh, so Viola was the one who was most likely to be in danger at the moment.

Solan kept a straight face: "You have a curse on you, all the guards know it well. It's been several days, and everyone has been living in peace. Why did he suddenly touch you?"

"It's because... Your Majesty invited me to Memphis..."

The girl's voice trembled slightly.

Erich already understood roughly: Delos was probably going to run away, and before running away, he came to see Biola, confessed his love to Biola, and invited her to go to the capital together.

During this process, Delos and his party were discovered by the guards.The guard was so devoted to his duty that he was so desperate to stop Viola from leaving that he reached out to give her a hand, and eventually fell under the curse and died unfortunately.

"Miss, did His Majesty mention to you why he invited you to Memphis?"

"Because, because..."

Viola mumbled a glance at Pharaoh Delos.

In fact, the direction where Erich's face emerged was near Delos, and at this moment Erich closed her eyes heavily.

"Because Your Majesty claimed that you, General, initiated a coup d'état." Viola summoned up her courage and said loudly.

Alicia: Yo!

At this point, all the buttons are buckled.

Erich guessed that her brother Soran should have been planning for a long time, wanting to control one or even more Nomes in Lower Egypt.Therefore, the soldiers under his command have already been sent to control the capitals of each Nome.

However, the ties between each Nome and the capital Memphis are too deep, and Soran's control requires the pharaoh's approval—and the easiest way to obtain such approval is to directly coerce the pharaoh.

It so happened that Pharaoh took the initiative to go to Tanis for Biola, which was a godsend opportunity for Solan.

The so-called ten-day curse on Biola was obviously to delay the time, so that Solan could make full preparations and have a chance to attack.

But perhaps the Pharaoh had sensed the danger in advance, and Delos was about to run away from Tanis.

But before he left, he still couldn't let go of his fate and entangled with Biola.So he stepped forward to invite him, but such a tragedy happened by mistake.

It is very likely that no one could have imagined that the ten-day curse on Viola would be true.

After all, Biola had lived peacefully with others in this camp for many days, and the danger of the curse had gradually been forgotten.

At this time Solan suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a miserable laugh, then pointed to the mummy lying on the ground, and said loudly to Delos: "Catullus, 29 years old this year, has eaten at Mahala since he was 13 years old. 16 years of sand... the only time he returned to his hometown six years ago, he found that all the land and manor left to him by his ancestors had been confiscated as the property of the royal family."

Wei Luo, Solan casually pointed behind him.Behind him, a man with a deep scar on his face took a big step forward.

"The bravest man in Mahalla, the most fearless hero against the enemy."

"He served as a soldier in the frontier army for 20 years. His elder brother, uncle and younger brother all died on the battlefield and walked ahead of him."

"Wei Luo, tell me, what happened to you last year?"

Wei Luo's face was extremely heavy, and he said slowly: "I met my nephew, my brother's only son..."

This is the case with the recruitment system in Egypt. Being away from home and fighting on the battlefield means completely losing influence on the homeland. The more descendants of heroes, the easier it is to be squeezed out——

The only son of the elder brother Vero, he should not have continued to serve Pharaoh's military service.But the Willow family had no choice.

The atmosphere in the camp was so heavy that it was almost stagnant.

The soldiers behind Solan all lowered their heads, tensed their faces, gritted their teeth, and clenched their fists tightly.It can be seen that what Solan just mentioned is not an example.

Sure enough, Soran continued calling names.

"Scala—"

"Manetto—"

"Claudius—"

Every time he called a name, a soldier strode forward to Solan's side, raised his head to look directly at Pharaoh without any scruples, and his eyes were full of anger.

For so many years, for so many years, the frontier army has fought in the east, west and south of Egypt to defend the country, but they have always been let down by this country.

"My king, we have no disrespect to you, and we will remain loyal to guarding the order represented by Ma'at..."

Soran stood in front of them all and spoke aloud what was on everyone's mind.

"But we all swore to get back what we deserved—"

Solan pointed behind him.

Behind him were densely packed generals with stern expressions. More people could not enter the tent at this moment, and could only stand outside the tent silently holding up their torches.

But their eyes are collectively conveying a certain will, which is a strong will formed after the fusion of long-standing unwillingness and resentment, and the bravery and self-confidence of professional soldiers.

The royal guard standing behind Pharaoh Delos seemed to feel the power of this powerful will at this moment.

Some of them grew pale, and cold sweat began to seep from their brows;

The precious weapons decorated with gold and gemstones in their hands were no longer so secure, and some people began to look at the pharaoh with desperate eyes, as if they wanted to get instructions from their king for the next move.

But Delos stared at Solan closely, as if to say: That's what they thought, but you, you just want to play tricks.

Solan suddenly laughed, and said, "As for my little selfishness..."

His expression turned solemn in an instant, and he slightly turned his eyes to Biola, "Your Majesty, I think you know better than anyone else."

Seeing the general's eyes, everyone, including the pharaoh, guessed that Soran did this to stand up for the first princess Elyse.

Only Erich, who quietly emerged from the surface of the column, snorted coldly in her heart:

Pack!You continue to pretend!

Ever since using the Eye of Horus to enter Soran's dream, Erich has given up hope on the so-called brother-sister relationship.

She even wanted to wrinkle her nose at Solan, but she was afraid of being seen by Viola and destroying the image of a certain god, so she reluctantly held back.

Pharaoh Delos finally spoke slowly at this moment: "If you have such and such difficulties and grievances, if you have such and such demands and expectations, you can naturally raise them."

He was talking to the generals and soldiers behind Solan, so he naturally wanted to slow down the troops.

Solan breathed a sigh of relief, with a smug smile on his lips, as if to say: If you let go earlier, why did you end up here?

Unexpectedly, a young soldier suddenly emerged from behind Solan, looking at the shriveled corpse of Catullus on the ground with red eyes.

The soldier has short dark brown curly hair and clear blue eyes.

His facial contours are cold and hard, his skin is rough, and his features are very rigid.But he wore three to four short knives and daggers around his waist—to be able to wear a knife in front of Solan, this person's status in the army should not be low.

After a while, the soldier raised his head, and a pair of blue eyes looked at the pharaoh and the general without hesitation: "Your Majesty, general, this matter will be resolved for you in the future."

From Erich's perspective, the soldier's eyes could just be seen with crazy hatred.

Solan frowned immediately: "Ren, I know that you and Catullus are the best friends, but now is not the time to act out of loyalty."

The soldier named Renn pulled out the short bronze blade from his waist with a swipe, held it tightly in his hand, and pointed the tip of the sword at Pharaoh Delos.

There was an exclamation in the tent.

Pharaoh's guards also took out their weapons one after another, and protected Pharaoh from back to front.

The sound from inside the tent instantly alarmed a large number of Egyptian soldiers holding torches outside the tent.

They also took out their weapons with a ping-pong-pong.The sound of bronze swords and spear points colliding with each other came wave after wave, as if this small camp was just a hill in the middle of the big river, and it would be submerged by the raging waves at any time.

But Erich didn't care about Delos' safety.

She knew that Pharaoh was the most important pawn for Soran.Therefore, he will not let his men hurt Pharaoh.

In addition, she also believes that in this world full of mysterious power, Pharaoh, as a god walking in the world, must have some way to protect himself.

Unexpectedly, the soldier named Ren suddenly turned around, and the tip of the trembling sword in his hand had already turned towards Biola.

His face was flushed, veins popped out of his temples, he gritted his teeth, and looked angrily at the stunned blond girl.

"Kill her—"

This resentment seemed to have echoed in Ren's heart for a long time, and it broke out completely at this moment.

His roar echoed in the camp, echoing repeatedly in everyone's heart.

"Kill her—"

As long as Biola is killed, the general's younger sister will naturally be the first princess;

The pharaoh will return to the royal capital of Memphis smoothly, face up to and deal with all the injustices in this kingdom;

However, for Ren at this moment, the only thing that matters is the remains that fell on the ground.

Catullus died of a curse, the body could not be mummified, and the soul would be detached and wiped out.

Thinking of the fate of his most cherished friend, Ren's eyes were tearing apart, and he rushed towards the terrified Viola holding his bronze dagger high.

Solan opened his mouth, then closed it coldly without saying anything.

The one who was really anxious was Pharaoh Delos. He finally took out the long sword he hadn't drawn from his quiver, and swung it across in front of Viola.

He swept back with his other hand, as if he wanted to bring Biola into the protection range behind him.

Unexpectedly, Pharaoh was pulled and pushed by his own guards, and in an instant he was even further away from Biola.

"Wang, that lady...has a curse..."

The pharaoh's guards trembled and explained to the angry pharaoh.After all, their duty is only to maintain the safety of the king, and they have no responsibility to protect a woman of unknown origin.Although seeing this woman in distress made Delos shout and rage.

Now Ren has nothing to stop him from facing Biola.

Touching the girl would be cursed, but killing her wouldn't—

The pleasure of revenge suddenly surged in Ren's heart.

His arms condensed the strength of his whole body, he raised his long sword high, and slashed at the top of the girl's head.

"what--"

A girl's terrified screams could be heard beside her ears.

But only a loud bang was heard.

An almost completely transparent door appeared out of thin air in front of Ren.

This door was hard and heavy, and when Ren's bronze long sword hit it, it only smashed out pieces of ice like snowflakes.

The door perfectly protected Viola.
