From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

"Ping ping pong pong-"

"boom--"

"Snapped--"

"Boom——"

Nanna, who has been guarding by Alixie's side, is already feeling a little sleepy and bored, and gradually getting sleepy.

Disturbed by this series of movements, Nanna jumped up from her position in an instant, pulled out the weapon she was wearing, and shouted: "Enemy, where is the enemy?"

Beside her, Erich opened her eyes and said apologetically, "Sorry, Nanna—I brought back a big one."

And Nanna also saw clearly the culprit that caused the big commotion, so she just stayed where she was.

When Alishi stepped out of the Eye of Horus, she brought a big guy—a door.

Although this door only has two pillars and one lintel, it is an empty frame, but when it was brought out by Elyse, it landed directly on the low table in the princess' bedroom, knocking over the ointment bottle and the palette, hitting Broken clay pots and cups, and brought down a vase on a wooden cabinet in the corner - a blooming lotus was innocently overturned on the ground.

Alicia sat up and stretched out her hand to straighten the character door. Seeing that the culprit had damaged a lot of the utensils and furnishings in her room, but the door itself was still intact, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Nanna finally put away her sword and weapon, came over to help Alicia straighten the door, leaned against the wall, glanced at the complicated patterns on the door, and said with a snort, "I haven't seen this pattern before, no It's too much like a local product of Egypt."

Erich also hummed, and after thinking about it, she asked Nanna to find the talisman Ymir.

Elyse is working hard to improve her combat power recently, and she hasn't worn Ymir every day in the past few days.Instead, it was hidden in a dark grid embedded in the wall of the bedroom.

While waiting, Alixi couldn't help thinking: I haven't seen her for a few days, and I don't know what the attitude of the talisman will become.

Sure enough, when Nanna appeared in front of Erich holding the talisman Ymir, Ymir once again greeted Erich with a crying voice: "I am great and noble, omniscient and omnipotent the master of..."

Alixi hurriedly called to stop—this flattery was a bit too much.

"Hey, Ymir felt the breath from a foreign land."

"Could it be that today when Ymir didn't see you, the royal court of Babylon has already laid down at your feet and sent you tribute?"

The royal palace of Babylon?lie low?Tribute?

Erich found helplessly that this was just another way for the talisman to flatter her.

However, runes have the basic ability to judge the location. The Hittite Kingdom and the Babylonian Kingdom are in the same geographical location. Perhaps in the era of the female pharaoh Nitocris, when the Hittite Kingdom had not yet been established, Babylon in the Mesopotamia It is the overlord who dominates one side.

"This is a special item I snatched from the Hittites. According to the other party, it is called the Character Gate."

"Ymir, can you perceive the origin of this door?"

Elysee makes a request to the rune.

"Master, although in the face of special items from foreign lands, it may be dangerous to sense rashly. But Ymir will try it for you anyway."

It seems that no matter how this talisman is said, it has only one purpose—to express its loyalty to Elyse.

It's a pity that this talisman is probably clear to him. After the Saqqara Catacombs incident, it will be extremely difficult to gain all of Erich's trust.

Erich held up the talisman and approached the door she pulled from Tanis.

"Yeah, I feel it, the ancient divine power—"

"Very close to the power of the goddess Isis..."

Alice was curious: Isn't it a special item from Babylon?How did you get involved with the goddess Isis again?

"You probably don't know, the goddess Ishtar that the Kingdom of Babylon believes in, the power comes from our goddess Isis."

Alicia: That's right...

Of course, it is not ruled out that Ymir, as an Egyptian talisman, put gold on his face, and the belief in Isis may actually come from the goddess Ishtar①.

But this at least shows that ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon may have the same belief in treating similar gods.

"This door... To be precise, this door frame is one of the seven door frames."

Erich inspected the character door carefully, and found that the wood color on the edge of the door frame was different, and there were slots left in advance on the door frame.

It seems that, as Ymir said, this door frame can be nested layer by layer with other door frames of different sizes, just like a nesting doll.The caulking is used to hold these nested doors in place.

Recalling Karsha's description at the time-the character door, the exchange door, and the polishing door, according to Karsha, these three are special items with different functions.

She nodded immediately, and said to Ymir: "There is this possibility. I know that there are two other similar items, one is called the Gate of Exchange, and the other is called the Gate of Grinding. changed in appearance."

"now it's right."

Ymir sounded very pleased with himself.

"These three gates should be three of the seven gates of the goddess Ishtar."

"The seven doors of the goddess Ishtar." Erich raised her eyebrows. She had vaguely heard the story of the goddess Ishtar and the seven doors.But it seems that it doesn't match the item in front of me.

As soon as Ymir opened his mouth, he couldn't stop, and quickly continued: "The seven gates refer to the fact that when the goddess Ishtar went to meet her sister Irigal in the underworld, she found that she couldn't compare Irigal with her beauty. .So she used seven doors, and every time she passes through a door, her appearance will become more beautiful..."

"When Ishtar walked out of the last door of the sevenfold gate, the radiance was shining, and Irigal was completely ashamed of himself. So he swore that he would hide in the underworld forever and never see Ishtar again.②"

Alice raised her eyebrows when she heard this——

That's why, so this group of special items called the Seven Doors, the effect of each item is related to changing a person's appearance.

However, judging from this story about God, it seems that there is not much difference between God and man. What this story is about is actually the jealousy, competition and resentment between sisters.The gods in these myths are surprisingly full of humanity.

Ai Lixi suddenly thought: Could it be...they were all human in the first place?

They were originally humans, but they became gods because they gained power. Even if they became gods, they still retained those human weaknesses?

Alixi was a little afraid to think about it, for fear that if she thought about it carefully, there would be electric snakes winding around her head. Ishtar or Irigal, who had already become gods, sent her two lightning strikes.

However, the jurisdiction of those two should be mainly the Hittite region, and it is not too likely to extend their hands to the territory of the goddess Isis.

"Great and wise master, congratulations, Ymir can be sure that the character gate you brought is one of the seven gates of the goddess Ishtar in the past."

The talisman Ymir made a tsk-tsk sound, as if admiring: It's been a long time.

However, Nanna was full of doubts, and asked Erich: "Miss, where did you get this character door?"

Erich has let Nanna know the secret of the Eye of Horus without reservation, but never revealed it to Ymir.

So in front of Ymir, Erich only said that she got it from the Babylonians... no, the Hittites, and then she said that she would take a rest and asked Nanna to put Ymir away.

"Miss, it's very late. You have worked hard all day, go to bed early."

Alicia had indeed begun to rest. She was lying flat on the couch, with reed wadding and bird feather cushions on her back.

But she shook her head at Nanna's request: "Nanna, please take care of me again tonight."

"I'm going to give this door back."

"Go back?"

Nanna stared into her big cowbell-like eyes as if she didn't understand.

Alicia smiled and said, "If you don't return it, some people probably won't be able to sleep all night."

Tanis, in front of Biola's tent.

The moment Erich's figure disappeared together with the character gate, Karsha, who had a beard under his chin, stayed where he was.

"Your Highness—"

Several Hittite soldiers rushed to Karsha's side, and were also stunned by the situation in front of them.

"The character gate is missing."

"Your Highness, if you can't do it within half a day..."

If Karsha can't return to the door of the character within half a day and restore his original appearance, he will keep his current bearded image forever as he said earlier, and will lose consciousness within two or three months, slowly. Slow to crazy.

Who would have expected this to happen—

In the distance, Biola has temporarily wrapped the wound on Ren's abdomen with the torn linen strips, and both of them are emotionally stable.And Biola no longer touched Ren, as if she was still cursed.

A few Hittite soldiers rushed over and pointed their swords at the two of them, but they didn't dare to hurt them at all, lest one wrong hand would lose the clue of the disappearing door. , will turn into an unconscious walking dead after two or three months.

"Let them go, no one is allowed to hurt."

Karsha ordered.

He only stayed for a moment, and he had already figured out why the phantom woman he saw robbed the character door.

"Someone will come to negotiate with me."

When Karsha said this, he was still unwilling to reconcile, and heaved a long sigh——

Almost, just a little bit, I didn't notice for a while, but I actually let that woman take away the role door.

I also blame myself for being bad, careless, and too careless.

"Your Highness, the market is about to close."

In the direction of Tanis Market, the lights seemed to have dimmed, the music stopped, and the human voice seemed to be spreading in all directions.

This means that the Egyptian Frontier Army soldiers who went to the market to have fun, Wren's comrades, will return soon.

If the Hittites do not wish to confront the Egyptians head-on, they must go now.

"let's go……"

Karsha ordered decisively.

"But Your Highness..."

His soldiers are still dumbfounded.

Their prince just said that someone will come to negotiate with them.

At this time, Karsha had recovered from the depression just now, and the look of confidence flashed again in his eyes.

"Don't worry, the negotiators... will come to me."

Hittite soldier: ...Really?

Why is their prince, who is dying, still so calm?

Really... so sure?

In a corner of the Tanis market, the Hittite prince Kalsha waited alone until midnight, and his heart began to tremble——

The deadline to return to the Character Gate is after sunrise tomorrow.But it was so late that no one came to negotiate with him. No matter how confident the prince was, he didn't dare to take his own life as a joke.

Fortunately, in the middle of the night, a face with exquisite features emerged from the wall silently.

"My dear lady, I have finally waited for you."

Karsha had no doubts about the gender of the visitor. He had seen the illusory but complete appearance of this woman at the side of Viola's tent, and knew that she was slim and beautiful.

But at this moment, he has roughly figured out that he can only see this person's true face after passing through the character gate or other gates.

Therefore, it is reasonable to suspect that what he saw may be a projection, or a soul, or even... a ghost...

"prince--"

Alicia nodded slightly as a compliment.

"What do you want me to do to return the character door to me."

Karsha was eager in his heart, so he could only go straight in with a wry smile.

"I never talk about price, so what I say now, you have to do exactly that."

Erich spoke calmly, she made a statement in advance, thus blocking the possibility of the other party bargaining.Of course, for such a life-and-death matter, Karsha would not dare to have any extra hopes.

"Of course……"

"First, you and your subordinates all leave Tanis and are not allowed to re-enter within one year."

"Second, the border between Hittite and Egypt will maintain the status quo within one year, and they will not invade each other."

Karsha raised his eyebrows, as if he had expected that the other party would raise such a condition——

But this is also a relatively reasonable condition, especially the time limit: Hittite cannot prepare a war with Egypt within a year.But if the time limit is set for more than one year, he may not agree, or he may break the contract if he agrees.

"Third, any plans to explore the Stone of Time are put on hold for the time being. If you want to explore in the future, your partner can only be me, or Miss Biola who is under my protection."

"This……"

Karsha hesitated for a moment.

He never expected that the other party would still want to explore the Stone of Time when things had developed to this point—so far he finally realized that the whole thing was not simple.

Is this a god in Egypt who is driving his followers and believers to obtain the original power?

Karsha immediately recalled that Biola once knelt down and prayed on the spot in the tent, and the object of her prayer was Amon, a god that few people in Lower Egypt had heard of.

"The Stone of Time is an important item involved in the creation of the world. Even if it is to be explored, it will never be that simple."

Prince Hittite made a decision in his mind instantly, "Ample preparations must be made in advance. Before exploring, I will try to contact you."

If there is really a party that wants to explore the relics that are said to be from the first time period on the border between Egypt and Hittites, then the best choice for Hittites is of course to intervene and get a share.

He made such a statement, of course he readily agreed with the above three points.

So the other party decisively proposed the fourth:

"Strictly keep the secret, and help Miss Viola hide the fact that she is no longer plagued by the curse."

"Of course it's fine..."

Karsha immediately agreed, and at the same time thought quickly about the reason why the other party proposed this condition.

Of course he understands that hiding this secret is a kind of protection for Viola—when people in the whole city still think that they will suffer a curse if they touch this girl, Viola has completely let go of the burden in her heart. Living here is easy.

"You are a considerate protector—"

Kalsha straightened up, leaned forward slightly, and saluted the illusory and beautiful face that emerged on the wall. At the same time, he had made up his mind that before leaving Tanis, he still had to find a way to beat around the bush to Miss Biola. Find out who God Amon is and what kind of authority he has.

"You promise to do the above four points, and I will return the role door to you."

Seeing that Karsha's tone was humble, Alixi also adopted a polite tone.

Karsha looked into her eyes, with a smile on his mouth, as if he felt that the charm of his smile was enough to impress the mysterious woman opposite.

But Alicia added sternly: "If there is any violation, then I'm sorry, I know exactly where I can find you."

The corner of Karsha's mouth couldn't help twitching. He knew very well that if it wasn't for the peculiarity of the character gate, he wouldn't be able to see this illusory lady who eluded her.If the other party really wanted to stab him in the chest suddenly, it would be impossible to guard against.

So Karsha sincerely nodded: "The pride of the Hittites does not allow me to promise first and then break the contract."

Alicia looked at him, finally nodded, and said, "Wait a minute!"

Her phantom face disappeared from the wall in front of Karsha without a sound.

Karsha stepped forward immediately, reached out and touched the wall - there was nothing unusual on the wall.

The next moment, with a bang, the entire wooden frame of the role door fell in front of Karsha, not only shocked Karsha, but also shocked the Hittite soldiers outside the hut. They rushed in one after another, just in time to see the bearded man lifting the door frame from the ground, Shi Shiran walked through it, and finally turned back to the familiar Prince Karsha.

"Send an order to leave Tanis."

Karsha beamingly ordered.

The Hittites looked at each other: what's going on?The prince said that he wanted to negotiate with someone. Is this the result of the negotiation?

"Your Highness, where are we going?"

"To Memphis."

Karsha announced amusedly.

The other party actually made an agreement with himself that he was not allowed to enter Tanis within one year, not the whole of Egypt.I don't know if I think it was a mistake in retrospect.

"To Memphis?"

This time it was the Hittite soldiers' turn to be in a daze.

"Yes, to Memphis."

A eager smile played on the prince's lips.

"I know that a good show is going to be staged, how can I miss it?"

When all the Hittite soldiers left Karsha's hut and hurriedly prepared for the trip to Memphis, Karsha sat down alone in the room, couldn't hide his pride anymore, and simply looked up to the sky and laughed.

"His Royal Highness the First Princess—"

He took out the portrait he had painted earlier, and faced the blurred blocks of color on the portrait.

"Didn't really recognize you until tonight."

"You probably don't know that when Pharaoh Delos married you as his concubine, I sneaked away to Memphis and mingled with envoys from various countries to watch the ceremony together."

The woman who appeared outside the camp tonight, as well as his negotiating partner who just appeared on the wall, was the princess of the Egyptian pharaoh——Erich.
