Late at night, Memphis Palace.

Elysia exited the Eye of Horus refreshed, and she had notified Biola of the agreement with Prince Hittite.

Viola was very happy about the lifting of the curse, and was also excited about the fact that the Hittites kept her promise to keep her a secret: "In this way, others still dare not hurt me, but I can help others!"

Sure enough, she is a warm-hearted little girl——Alice couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It's just that in this ancient Egypt with superimposed worldviews, this sincerity and enthusiasm can easily make Biola be deceived again and again...

Her request to Biola is to stay in Tanis and continue to explore clues about the Time Stone while accumulating strength.

Viola felt that such an arrangement was reasonable: "Great God, thank you for your tolerance. You reminded me that this matter may be fraudulent. I was so stupid that I didn't notice the plot of the Hittites..."

Alixi was stunned, and then remembered that she had given Viola a tentative evaluation.

It turned out that this was a warning.

Alixi couldn't help but feel really happy for God Amon. It's really good to be a god with such believers who can consciously make up their minds!

Then it was Biola who expressed her determination to the gods: she would take root in Tanis, manage it well, and continue to explore secretly.

As for other things, such as appeasing Ren, or continuing to pretend to have a curse, Erich didn't mention it much. I believe that with Viola's intelligence, she should be able to comprehend it.

After logging out from the Eye of Horus, Elysee breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back at today's actions, she thinks her decision is still wise——

Of course she can shut down the role door, as long as tomorrow morning, Prince Hittite will only have two or three months of sanity left, gradually turning into an unconscious lunatic.

This sounds like removing a strong enemy for Egypt, and it may cause civil strife in Hittite. Egypt may even have the opportunity to invade Hittite on a large scale and conquer the city.

But the question is why does Erich help Delos so much?Is it noble to make a wedding dress for someone?

Now that the crisis in Lower Egypt is lurking, the battle between Solan and Delos has not yet been decided, and the vast area of ​​Lower Egypt that has just experienced the flood of the river has not yet recovered.

Without that character gate, Prince Karsha would not die immediately, he still has two or three months of consciousness.

If this accident aroused his fighting spirit, taking advantage of the opportunity of civil strife and accidents in Lower Egypt, breaking through the national border in one fell swoop, and wreaking havoc on Lower Egypt, then the gain would outweigh the loss.

That's why Ailixi made the decision to make such an agreement with Karsha.

The reason why the agreed time limit is set to one year is that the other party may not be willing to abide by it if it is set longer, so it is better to set a reasonable time limit.

If within a year or two, she and Delos can have a rough solution, she doesn't mind turning around after dealing with the conflict in Egypt, and then dealing with Hittite, an old neighbor.

Thinking of this, Alixi couldn't help laughing at herself again: It's so inflated, she actually started thinking about this kind of dispute between countries.

She stretched out her hands to rub the center of her brows, then turned her head, and found Nanna beside her after seeing her log out of the Eye of Horus smoothly and safely.

Immediately leaning on a long sword, he fell asleep sitting up.Nanna was so beautiful in figure and face that she looked like a marble statue when she was asleep.However, at the moment it was snoring like a man.

Alicia smiled immediately, with an apologetic expression in her smile.

In fact, every step she takes has the support and dedication of others.

So Alixi stood up quietly with her waist supported, fetched a soft blanket for Nanna, and gently draped it on her shoulders.Then she lay on the couch, looked at the sky, and quietly counted her recent gains:

It is basically certain that she can rely on Biola to establish a stronghold for obtaining information in Tanis, the northernmost port and trading city in Lower Egypt;

In addition, she and Hittite have temporarily established a peace agreement within one year. Karsha should not dare to tear up the oral agreement because she watched her disappear;

In addition, she has made some progress in developing spells using the law of similarity.Although the power she can mobilize is on the cold side, it is not always ice. This time she actually manifested ice silk, a material that can perform suture functions very well.

So she was basically sure that the stitching spell worked.

The advantage of using this spell is that it can be completed in an instant——

The Egyptians of this era have not started to use anesthesia and analgesic drugs, and completing the suture in the shortest time can save them from enduring severe pain for a long time-just like Ryan at that time, he only yelled if he wanted to.

By the way, Alicia remembered one more thing: when she used the stitching spell today, there was only one wounded person, Ren, beside her, and the injury appeared on the torso rather than the extremities.

In the future, she has to pay attention to observe when using this spell, if there are multiple wounds or multiple wounds, whether the stitching position can still be so precise, it will be bad if the place that shouldn't be stitched is stitched up ...

Well, this kind of thinking is very strange!

Alicia thought to herself, she must have been influenced by the splicing monster at the last Harvest Festival, and she was afraid that she would also create monsters such as stitching monsters.

Thinking about it, she began to feel her upper and lower eyelids fighting.

Nanna's drowsiness was unceremoniously infectious.

Ellich finally closed her eyes and fell asleep deeply——

A few days after the end of the Tanis incident, Erich had almost handled the affairs of Memphis. She met everyone she needed to see. The royal treasurer began to operate under her pressure and promotion. She represented Pharaoh in all the ceremonies.

On Nanna's side, all the preparations for leaving Memphis have also been done.

In this way, the preparatory work before the pharaoh's return to Memphis has been completed, and in the next period of time, Erich will be very leisurely.

When she was bored, Erich immediately took the talisman Ymir, which she hadn't worn for a while, and tried to accomplish what she had thought about before but never finished——

Gather Pharaoh's wool.

The last time I tried to search in the Memphis palace, the Pharaoh was still there, and she was followed by attendants and maids wherever she went, so she couldn't openly rummage through the boxes.

This time, the huge palace is in charge of her, the first princess.

Erich walked into every room in the palace, leaving her attendants outside, closing the door, and letting Ymir feel it.

However, the gains are very limited.

Most of what Ymir perceives are antiques kept in the royal palace. These objects that existed before the Great Chaos have experienced the era when humans and gods coexisted, and have more or less been infected with some power belonging to gods.But not powerful enough to make them a rune-like item.

After a long time, Ymir became bored and complained: "Actually, why would Pharaoh put the really important things in the palace?"

Alicia thought: Yes, you should take it with you.

"They are all hidden in the tombs of the previous pharaohs."

Alice was startled.

"As in Saqqara?"

She discovered the tomb of the female pharaoh Nitocris in Saqqara.But in order not to disturb the peaceful sleep of her ancestors, she did not further excavate the tomb and search for treasures.

Could it be that the pharaoh would have kept important special items and key amulets in such a tomb?

Of course, although Elyse doesn't regret this, she also regrets it from time to time, and she can't find out the truth when she is close at hand.

The divine talisman Ymir laughed dryly and said, "You forgot that pharaohs often go to the tombs of modern pharaohs to preside over sacrifices."

"So everything that was absolutely important was put there. The Pharaoh would pick it up himself if it was needed."

Alicia immediately remembered that in her memory, the pharaoh did go to the Shwedagon Pagoda in Giza to preside over the sacrifices every year.

At that time, she was still very surprised, because the several great pyramids located in Giza were all pharaohs in the Old Kingdom period, and they were not the direct blood relatives of Delos. She didn't understand why Delos was so courteous.

Now that I think about it, there are obviously important items or secrets hidden in the Great Pyramid, which need to be checked by the Pharaoh himself from time to time.

I heard that in the Great Pyramid, the paths are complicated and there are many organs. Only the pharaoh knows about the distribution of the roads and organs in the pyramid.

It's only natural that Delos would use the Great Pyramid as a place to store important items—perhaps even previous pharaohs did the same.

This also means that even if Erich searched the Memphis Palace upside down, she would not be able to find any special items with powerful power.

Even so, Erich continued to search everywhere and found some gold bars and nuggets privately hidden by the pharaoh to enrich her small treasury.

In addition, she also found more than a dozen sleeping amulets that the Pharaoh used to help sleep—

In this way, she got a little more security for herself: in case Scon became Kong Si, she could use these amulets to put Kong Si into a deep sleep.

In addition, Erich even found some toys, such as Sanet chess.

After gathering the pharaoh's wool, Erich found Nanna and Urania to play chess with them for fun.

Senet chess is a long wooden box.The surface of the wooden box is a square chessboard with three horizontal lines and ten vertical lines. The box comes with a small drawer, and the chess pieces placed inside can be found by pulling it open.

Participants in the game take turns using four long small wooden sticks to throw the points forward and backward, and then move the chess pieces according to the rules on the [-]-grid chessboard. Launch an attack to drive the opponent's chess off the board, and the person who reaches the finish line first wins①.

While the princess was playing chess with the maids, the talisman Ymir kept giving flattery and high hats, praising Erich's skillful play at one moment, accusing Nanna of being a stinky chess basket at one moment, and giving some tactful pointers Erich, yelling loudly disturbs Nanna's train of thought for a while.

Finally, Alixi stopped being polite, and pointed to the four small wooden sticks used to throw dots, and said, "It's really inconvenient to use this. It's all about throwing dots anyway, so it's better to use dice."

As soon as the word dice was uttered, Ymir immediately shut up and didn't say a word. He only congratulated in a low voice after Erich beat Nanna and Urania in the end and won the whole chess game.

Obviously this guy has a psychological shadow on dice.

Soran and Tilos had arrived at Giza on the west bank of the river, facing the towering Great Pyramid of Giza.

In the previous few Nomes, the pharaoh was extremely cooperative. Everywhere he went, he appeased the border army, restrained the officials, and led the local residents into the temple to worship...everywhere he asked.

In every Nome they visited, Delos agreed to the demands made by the Border Army——

The demands that Thoran directed his officers to make almost made these nomes self-reliant:

They demanded the appointment and dismissal of all officials in the Nome, the control over the finances in the Nome, and the right to determine the labor and military service assigned to each Nome.

In other words, these soldiers who have eaten sand on the border for Egypt for an average of ten years will have the opportunity to decide whose children will go to the frontier in the future, whose children will stay in their hometown to build temples, and whose children will be sent to Memphis Places like , Saqqara, and Giza built mausoleums for pharaohs.

The grain produced by Nome will not be sent to the royal treasurer of Memphis for distribution in the future. Instead, Nome will leave enough grain before sending the rest to Memphis as taxes.

It can almost be said that in these Gnomes controlled by the border army, Solan and others can be kings as long as they close the door.

Delos handed over the authority of these nomes to Solan almost without reservation.

Just because he saw how generous Tilos was, Soran didn't object to Tilos' sincere request.

On the contrary, Soran did not escort Tilos directly back to Memphis, but led his border army, brought Tilos, to Giza—

Because Delos hoped to perform sacrifices to the former kings in front of the Great Pyramid of Giza before returning to Memphis.

At this time, the sun was setting on the mountain, and Tilos and Solan rode to the foot of the Great Pyramid.

Solan was trained harshly by the great priest Dahor since he was a child, and was forged into a brave and invincible warrior and a wise general.

But it also meant that he stayed away from the clergy's promotion path, knew little about temples and sacrifices, and had never been to Giza.

Solan, who saw the Great Pyramid for the first time, felt an unparalleled shock.

He looked at the shadow of the Pyramid stretching eastward under the setting sun almost in a daze, and after a long while he sighed sincerely: "It turns out that the legend is true."

According to the legend of the Egyptians, under the Great Pyramid of Giza, if an adult starts from the bottom of the tower, he will have to walk far away for a day before he can get out of the shadow cast by the pyramid on the ground.

Before that, Solan only thought that this was just an exaggerated legend.But now he is standing in front of the Great Pyramid of King Khufu, looking at the boundless and heavy shadows drawn from the pyramid, even Solan, who has been fearless and unrestrained in the battlefield all his life, feels heavy awe in his heart.

He stood facing the pyramids, listening to the whistling wind passing between the two great pyramids, looking at the wilderness mixed with yellow and green in front of the pyramids, the boundless plain, and the evening star gradually rising on the eastern horizon... ... Solan only felt that he was as small as a grain of sand in the vast sea.

"During the Old Kingdom, Pharaoh already had great power to build such a majestic and magnificent building-this is really a miracle."

The tall pyramids in front of us have a history of about 500 to [-] years, and they are genuine ancient relics.

Solan shook his head slightly while trying to look up at the top of the pyramid, expressing his disbelief.

And the pharaoh Delos was riding an old and weak horse - this was deliberately arranged by Sauran, in order to prevent Delos from escaping on the horse.

At this moment, the king of Egypt was still wearing a simple linen robe without extra jewelry, and there were only two royal guards behind him.

Hearing Solan's emotion, Tilos shook his head slightly and responded calmly: "No, Pharaoh didn't build it himself."

Solan turned his head, his eyes slightly surprised, as if he was thinking: when did Pharaoh know how to be humble.

From ancient times to the present, pharaohs have regarded the construction of the pyramids as their own achievements. How could any king give this credit to others?To whom?Is it a civil servant?

"It was the gods who gave power to the Pharaoh, and the Pharaoh led the craftsmen and peasants to build the pyramid."

Delos turned his head, a pair of deep eyes were calm, staring at Soran.

Solan thought this was reasonable at first, but when he thought about it carefully: Pharaoh is a god walking in the world, isn't Delos still boasting in disguise?

He couldn't help hey, and was about to add something, but saw Pharaoh Delos lightly reining his horse, came to a huge stone statue, and greeted in a deep voice: "Sphinx, are you okay?"

It's like seeing an old friend whom I haven't seen for a long time, casually reminiscing with him.

Hearing Pharaoh's call, the stone statue seemed to have suddenly gained life, and opened its eyes suddenly.

The upper part of the stone statue is about 25 to [-] cubits high. It is a head, wearing the same turban as the pharaoh.

From the neck down, it was buried in the soil that was slowly hardening after the flood of the Nile River, and it could not move ②.

The two eyes of the stone statue with its eyes opened are very intimidating. When it saw clearly that it was Tyros on the opposite side, the eyes immediately softened, and it nodded slightly, and whispered: "My king——"

With just this simple response, the tall horse under Solan's seat was already trembling with shock, and the four slender and strong legs of the horse almost knelt down softly, unable to support Solan's weight.

Solan dismounted from his horse, ignoring the height of his feet, reluctantly came to the stone statue, and tried his best to keep his eyes on the huge monster.

But only heard a hey sound, the stone statue's eyes swept over Solan, and the Sphinx immediately moved his gaze to it, as if he didn't bother to look at Solan at all.

Swept by the gaze of the stone statue, Solan seemed to be hit by a huge energy, and immediately fell to the ground in front of the stone statue.

But Pharaoh still sat on his old horse, his eyes indifferent.In the wilderness, in front of the oppressive pyramids, only the pharaoh possessed the aura of a king at a glance.

Even Solan, who holds a heavy army in his hands and embraces him, is incomparable to this one, not even worthy to lift his shoes.

When Solan got up from the ground, he was immediately discouraged and thought: Why are the stone statues so snobbish?
