From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

When Alishi stepped out of the Eye of Horus, she put her hand on the shoulder of the Angel of Anubis.

Now the two of them appeared in the side hall of the Temple of Osiris at the same time, that is to say, it was actually the envoy who had just hitched a ride with Elyse and returned directly to Memphis from the height of the pyramid tower, which was hundreds of cubits tall. .

"Nanna, help me sit up."

Before that, Alixie's body had always maintained a half-sitting and half-lying posture, and it was of course nothing to face Nanna.But at this moment, it is not polite to face the Angel of Anubis.

Nanna stepped forward and raised it lightly, and immediately helped Alicia to sit upright.

The Envoy of Anubis on the opposite side immediately knelt down, kissed and smiled, and bowed deeply to Elyse.

"First Princess, please accept my sincere thanks..."

Alixi thought that the other party was talking about the ride, so she immediately shook her hand and said, "Please don't be polite."

"You used the key of life to save so many innocent people, and consumed so much spirituality. It's just a matter of raising your hand to take you for a ride. I'm even more sorry for your kindness."

Erich thought to herself: After all, she has gained a lot in this matter, and she will have a chance to control and command the entire border army in the future.Although there was one and only one time, it was a rare opportunity that she never dared to think about.

In addition, using the Eye of Horus to piggyback the Angel of Anubis is also Erich's first attempt.

If the envoy didn't take the initiative, she probably wouldn't have the guts to try the new business of spirit body rides.

Therefore, Alixi felt that she was not at a loss this time around.

Unexpectedly, the Anubis envoy looked at her deeply, and said softly: "Indeed, using the key of life to purify thousands of people consumes most of my spirituality, so that I don't even have the ability to use it in front of Pharaoh. Travel with you..."

"But I want to thank you for much more than that."

Alicia raised her eyebrows curiously: More than that?

On the head of the jackal she was facing, a pair of wolf eyes were as warm as amber, and the sincerity could be seen at a glance, and gratitude seemed to overflow from his eyes.

Erich rolled her eyes, looked around, and seemed to hope that the Angel of Anubis could give her some hints.

Just at this time, the envoy raised the inside of his right arm and glanced at the cock on his arm.

Alixie suddenly felt moved, she remembered what Senmut had mentioned about Asut's promotion——

Asut's promotion usually requires the accumulation of a certain level of ba, that is, raising the personality to a height recognized by the gods.In addition, there is another hard target, but it cannot be met all the time.

"To be promoted from God's Blessed to God's Messenger, you need to accumulate joy from 1000 people."

"To be promoted from an envoy to a priest, one needs to accumulate respect from 1 people."

Thinking of this, Alixie was suddenly surprised and delighted.She held Nanna's arm with one hand, straightened her body, walked two steps on her knees, came to the kobold, and asked loudly: "My lord envoy, do you mean...you will be promoted soon? Promoted to...priest of the gods? "

Just now, the envoy of Anubis once stood high on the pyramid, held up the key of life, let the pure radiance purify and cleanse people's bodies and minds, so that they no longer act as chess pieces directly controlled by the Senet chess .

When people recovered their sobriety and heard Pharaoh publicly announce the identity of the envoy, tens of thousands of people prostrated themselves on the vast plain in front of the pyramid. The envoy of Anubis won the respect of more than 1 people?

This is an extremely coincidental, an extremely rare opportunity.

If it wasn't for the pharaoh who chose to use the former king Namer's Senet chess to resolve the dispute with the general, and if Erich hadn't discovered this fact through the Eye of Horus and asked to come to the Temple of Osiris...

It is impossible for this event involving tens of millions of people to happen, or the Angel of Anubis will miss this opportunity in vain.

That's why the envoy is so grateful to Alicia.

God Envoy Anubis smiled, nodded slightly, and acknowledged it.

"Your Highness First Princess, the king is not in Memphis, and you are the highest-ranking person in the city now."

"Through this matter, you have also fully demonstrated your kindness and foresight."

"As the envoy of God Anubis, can I invite you and the God of War favored by your side to watch the ceremony and participate in my promotion ceremony?"

Elysee and Nanna both bowed in greeting.

"It's our pleasure."

This occasion was important to the Angel of Anubis, but Erich also had an extra chance to learn about Asut's promotion out of thin air.After all, she has no clue about promotion now.

In addition, in order to fulfill her promise to God Amon, Elyse will definitely need an ally—an angel of Anubis... A powerful and highly qualified ally like a priest will definitely not do Elyse any harm.

Faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could Erich refuse?

She and Nanna were immediately invited to the nearby Temple of Osiris.

The envoy of Anubis ordered the priests and monks in the temple to temporarily close the temple, and let the Memphis civilians who came to pray temporarily wait outside the temple to pray.

Then, the envoy asked Alixie and Nanna to be on the left and right, and separate from the two sides of the temple.

He himself stood in the middle of the temple, facing the statue of Osiris, holding the flail scepter in his left hand, and the key of life in his right hand, folded his hands in front of his chest, and then bowed deeply.

Immediately knelt down, the wolf's eyes closed, and the wolf's kiss moved slightly, it should be silently reciting prayers to the gods.

At this time, the sun had already slanted to the west, and the only ray of sunlight had quietly moved away from the skylight window at the top of the temple.

The temple of Osiris was already dimly lit, but it was even darker and silent at the moment. The dark green-skinned Hades statue looked like a soul with resentful eyes.

Gradually, Alicia felt something was wrong.

Nanna, who was standing across from her, also gave her a look: miss, look around you.

Alixi looked down and looked around, only to see small, tiny light spots in the air around her body.

These light spots are suspended in the air, slowly converging into larger light spots, and the emitted light gradually becomes brighter.

These light spots not only appear on the walls and the stone slabs paved on the ground, but also on the hair, clothing, and skin of Erich and Nanna... They seem to be everywhere.

"O eternal spirit that exists above all things in the world..." The envoy of Anubis stretched out his hands around him.

"I, Opt, a follower of Anubis, a devout follower of Osiris, the great ruler of the underworld, sincerely invites you to witness."

Erich thought to herself: It turns out that the name of the Angel of Anubis is Opt.

Before that, she had been addressing him magically, and she had never asked what the other person's real name was.

In addition, are these dots of light that appear around her the eternal spirit in the mouth of the envoy?

Just as she was thinking about it, the light spots around Elyse's body, together with the light spots in the entire temple that gradually emerged from faintly to gather more and brighter, began to rush towards the center of the temple.

They quickly condensed around the body of Anubis God Envoy, instantly turning his body into a human silhouette made of light spots.

Gradually, the envoy's body became the most dazzling light source in the entire temple, and the light was so intense that the outline of the envoy's body could no longer be seen.

In contrast, the dark green-skinned statue of Osiris is no match for the envoy at the center of the light.

Erich's eyes could no longer look directly at the light, she instinctively stretched out a palm to temporarily block the too strong light——

And she has an intuition that all the spirituality consumed by the Angel of Anubis on the pyramid today has been fully replenished at this moment.

From the messenger of the gods to the priest of the gods is a step up, and Asut's ability will increase geometrically when he crosses this hurdle.

Just as Ailixi stretched out her hands to cover her eyes, a strange scene similar to a light burst occurred—the entire temple of Hades was plunged into a grand feast of light that people could not face directly.

Every spirit floating in the air burst out all the energy contained in them at this moment, and these energies were directly converted into light, and Erich and Nanna, who stretched out their hands to cover their eyes, bathed in it at the same time.

Erich, who was bathed in the strong light, instantly felt the warmth and the presence of spirits, they seemed to be whispering beside her all the time——

Her thoughts were instantly with them, and it seemed that she had also become a small but free spirit in the vast universe, flying up and down in the temple without restraint.

She listened to the voice of every spirit, whether she could understand it or not.She felt the interaction between her body and these spirits, and the emotionless spirits seemed to be delighted by her presence.

She could even hear the exclamation of people outside the Temple of Osiris—the always dark temple in this temple burst into bright and holy light at this dark hour, which would naturally arouse all the devout people in the city to believe in Osiris. The people of the gods were pleasantly surprised, and immediately bowed down in the direction of the temple and saluted, thanking all the gods for their blessings.

During the ascension ceremony of Anubis's envoy to become a priest of the gods, Erich seemed to have established a little connection with the spirits of all things in this world.Although she still doesn't know what this connection means to her.

But she already understood that it was definitely not polite for the envoy to invite her to participate in the promotion ceremony.Instead, both she and Nanna gained tangible benefits in this ceremony.

Finally, the light storm ended and everything returned to calm.

The light gathered on the priest of Anubis gradually dimmed.The large spots of light are re-analyzed into tiny spots of light.

The Angel of Anubis... No, he is already a priest now, and as the halo around him disappeared, his outline finally reappeared——

Alicia put down her palm and stayed where she was in surprise.

Nanna is about the same.

They are already familiar with the appearance of the Anubis envoy wearing a jackal head.But now, the person standing far in the middle of the temple, facing the statue of Osiris, no longer has the pair of pointed ears that stand upright.

He had fully returned to human form—

Ellich suddenly remembered that Senmut, the priest of the God of Tut, once said that the animal head and the human body are the only way for Asut, and the envoys of the gods all look like this, but once they are promoted to the priests of the gods, they will recover. normal human form.

That is to say, the Angel of Anubis, the gentle, considerate, kind-tempered, strict but meticulous Opt, can now finally face her with her true colors.

Alicia couldn't help but look forward to it.

Finally, Opt, the priest of Anubis who had just completed his promotion, slowly turned around, faced Erich and Nanna, and nodded to them.

Opte's body has not changed at all, it is still the man with a strong upper body and a neat waistcoat.

But his face was that of a middle-aged man—broad forehead, slightly high cheekbones, handsome features, slightly sunken eye sockets, and deep-set eyes.

His hair was shaved extremely short, a bit like the short cut of later generations.But even so, it can be seen that his temples on both sides have been slightly frosted.

Coupled with the fine wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and lips, Erich can draw a conclusion - this newly promoted lord priest is no longer young.

But the gentle look in his eyes was familiar to Erich, and when Opt, the priest of Anubis, cast her gaze on her, Erich undoubtedly felt concern and gratitude again.

After many years of wasting, waiting for a chance to be promoted——Alice made it possible for him.

When turning to Alixie and Nanna, Opte held a balance made of light in his right hand——

This scale Erich had seen in the Temple of Osiris before, and it was used to weigh the heart of the dead.

According to the concept of life and death believed by the Egyptians, before the deceased passed through the underworld, the heart would be weighed on a balance.

On the other end of the balance is a feather that symbolizes Maat. If the heart is heavier than Maat, it proves that the deceased has done bad deeds during his lifetime, and his heart will be directly swallowed by the vicious monster Amit, thus losing the chance of eternal life. .

Ellie hoped for the balance made of dots of light, and thought: This may mean that after being promoted successfully, Opter's ability is biased towards maintaining fairness, or presiding over the side of the trial.

When Opt's condition gradually stabilized, the newly promoted priest withdrew his right hand.The balance in his hand immediately turned into countless light spots and disappeared temporarily.

The middle-aged man with a warm smile took big strides and quickly walked towards Erich.

"Dear First Princess, I must express my most sincere respect and gratitude to you."

"As you can see, I have been in the position of God's messenger for many years, and I have never seen the hope of promotion. I even thought that I would be like this all my life-until you stepped into the temple earlier, and at that moment I heard I have fulfilled the call of the gods..."

"In fact, until the moment I stood on the Great Pyramid of Giza, I was still full of uncertainty. But the moment I looked down at the chessboard, I finally realized.

Perhaps, I can also step into the ranks of priests of the gods, better fulfill my duties as Asut, and make more contributions to Egypt. "

Optic's gaze at Erich became more gentle, as if he was staring at his beloved daughter who had grown up with his own hands.

Erich also bowed to Opte in response: "Master Priest, please don't be polite, those who help others help themselves, I understand this very well—"

Her move helped Opte to be promoted successfully, but she also gained a lot herself—it was just that she needed to grasp the benefits obtained from this incident and how to use them to maximize the effect.

Opte raised the corners of his lips, finally revealing a human smile.

"Your strength may not rank high among Asut. But your wisdom and vision are the most impressive I have ever seen."

"I hope that in the days to come, I don't need to be your enemy."

Auput sincerely expressed his good intention to live in peace, and took the initiative to ask: "Dear first princess, I may be the guide who guides the princess on the road of Asut. Do you have any questions? I may try to answer within the scope of God's permission—”

Alicia: Just waiting for your words!

What she wants to ask is how to accurately measure bar, or personality, or contribution.

In her opinion, it is not too difficult to accumulate joy and joy from 1000 people in order to be promoted from God's Blessed to God's Messenger.

On the contrary, it is the former who has always troubled her, making her never know where she has come.

When Ailixi asked the question, Nanna, the favored God of War, took a step back silently.

Erich had discussed this with Nanna before, but Nanna was a little less enthusiastic about it—

First of all, it is very difficult for the God of War to be promoted. They often fall on the first step. As people with strong force and fighting and killing all day long, it is difficult for them to gain enough joy.

Secondly, the image of God of War Mengtu is a bull-headed person, and Nanna really doesn't want to turn herself into a bull-headed person.

Therefore, compared to Erich's eagerness, Nanna tends to retreat.

"Honorable princess, show me your right arm—"

Alice suddenly remembered that once Asut was promoted to the priest of the gods, she would be able to see the scars on other people's arms. She hurriedly removed all the bracelets, gold and silver jewelry on her right arm, revealing the scars on the inside of her arm. That beam of light.

"strangeness……"

Opt, the priest of Anubis, frowned, "How could this be?"

Alicia hurriedly asked, "How?"

She also felt that the bare cuboid beam of light on her arm was nothing to worry about. Seeing that there was finally someone she could ask, she quickly seized the opportunity and asked for advice.

"The ba on your arm is the same shape as an ordinary person who has not yet become Asut. It seems that it does not measure your personality, but is more a manifestation of your luck."

Alicia: Yeah, that's the problem.

"According to common sense, the ba on each Asut's arm will show the unique mark of the god he follows."

"For example, because I follow Anubis, the god of death, the bar on my arm is in the shape of the boat of the dead used to carry the dead."

Opte frankly stretched out his right arm to Erich, and there was indeed a beam of light on his right arm, which was full and strong, but it was displayed in the state of a flat-bottomed boat.

In contrast, Alicia's own right arm looks very shabby.

In Opt's words, although she has become the favored person of the gods, the bar on the right arm, which represents the personality, does not have a fixed form belonging to the gods.Therefore, it is impossible to measure how far she is from the promotion.

Now even Opter frowned, even saying it was strange.

Opt can be regarded as the guide for Erich to become Asut. If he hadn't passed the news of the gods on his behalf, Erich might have become a mummy now.

But the guide did not quote the road, which is indeed a bit annoying.Opte held Erich's right arm and looked at it for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion——

"After all, God Amon is a new god who has just risen in Thebes. Has He not decided what kind of symbol he should use?"

Alicia: ...

Is that okay?
