From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

The Hittites also had a very rare special item that could quickly travel between places, similar to the Egyptian travel amulets.

Prince Karsha only brought a limited number of entourages into the enemy's country, so he was naturally fully prepared in this regard.

Periodically, people teleported from important points on the border of Ahe to report important news to the Prince.

Naturally, Kalsha had already made arrangements. If anything happened to Memphis, he would be able to get out immediately.

Earlier, he came to Memphis because he was particularly curious about the first princess.

But now his subordinates reported to him that after he left, more changes took place in Tanis.

Business, especially retail, flourished visibly.The daily business of the shops in the market has doubled several times, but there are still so many customers who come and go.

The transactions in the market became smooth, fast and honest, and people began to agree to use small fixed-weight copper and gold nuggets to trade items, and the arbitrator in charge of managing the market had one more task——

Take a goldsmith with you to inspect the copper and gold for its fineness.Precious metals have been inspected by them and can be traded in the market with confidence.

The most astonishing thing is that the pier of Tanis has more novel tools and machinery almost overnight.

These machines make loading and unloading extremely fast.Therefore, the throughput of the port has greatly increased, and the coolies who are busy at the dock all day are much more relaxed. They only need to learn how to use the equipment.

The Hittites were alarmed by the change in Tanis—

As Egypt's largest port leading to the sea, Tanis originally carried the foreign trade needs of Egypt and neighboring countries.

Before that, the trade throughput of Tanis was more or less limited by the size of the port and the amount of manpower.

But looking at it now, Tanis's trade volume will double in a very short period of time.

Before other ports around the ocean learn how to build these machines, Tanis will become the largest port near and far, and merchants will flock to it.

Because here they can exchange the goods they need conveniently and quickly, and don't have to worry about the integrity of the other party.

The rise of Tanis as a commercial port, the biggest beneficiary is of course Egypt——

As the Hittite prince, the most promising person to ascend to the throne, Karsha could not fail to see this clearly.

"According to the investigation of my subordinates, all this points to Miss Biola who was once favored by the Pharaoh."

"Although most of the time it is Tanis' Merchants Federation who promote these changes. But these ideas were put forward by that lady. The merchants of our country have personally confirmed with the Federation."

Karsha laughed out loud, and put his hand on his chin, as if to say: Mistake.

If he hadn't lost the door of the role due to a mistake at that time, and hadn't been forced to make a deal with the first princess, but had successfully brought the blond girl Viola back to Hittite...

Will all these benefits fall on Hittite?

The prince's subordinates saw the prince's expression, and immediately asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, should we return to Tanis now?"

Karsha didn't answer right away, but stood up, with his hands behind his back, and walked around the room a few steps.

In the past few days in Memphis, he heard a lot of rumors and inquired about countless news, but the conclusion he drew seemed to be disappointing——

The First Princess seemed limited in what she could do in Memphis.

She just put a few hands in the royal treasury and calmed down a horrific turn of events at the Harvest Festival.

Not much has been changed by her own hands.Therefore, after the return of Pharaoh Delos, she did not revoke all her actions with great fanfare, but gave her acquiescence to a certain extent.

Comparing the two, Miss Biola in Tanis is too outstanding and dazzling.

Karsha's subordinates took it for granted.If there is one and only one woman who can drastically change the face of Egypt, it must be Miss Biola.

Unexpectedly, after pacing back and forth for a while, Karsha looked back at his loyal subordinates.

He laughed and announced an amazing decision: "I plan to take this opportunity to visit Upper Egypt."

"Yes, I'm going to Thebes."

This is following in the footsteps of that woman, right?

Karsha looked at all his subordinates, admiring their jaw-dropping expressions with great interest.

"I have a feeling that my judgment must be right."

He recalled the phantom figure he saw beside the blond girl before leaving Tanis.

Before that figure appeared, the blond girl was just an ordinary girl who had always been silent and patient, and it was impossible for her to burst out with such a large amount of energy.

"Even with all the changes that have taken place in Tanis, the roots must have come from Memphis, and the people who went upriver."

Karsha's words were resounding.

Prince Hittite - just so confident!

Delos in the palace of Memphis is also very troubled.

He went back to the courtyard full of acacias.

From Tanis to Giza and then to Memphis, even the Pharaoh himself felt that this short period of more than a month seemed like several years...a lifetime...

It's no wonder, during this period of time, he experienced a coup d'état and a chess game of Jedi's counterattack. He found the girl who was supposed to fly with him, but had to separate from her...

When he returned to Memphis, the Pharaoh discovered that Elyse, who had briefly returned to the royal court and presided over the capital's affairs as the first princess, slipped away at the time of his return... slipped away!

Alicia, you are guilty!

Delos cursed in his heart.

Now, even if he wanted to beat people, curse people, or send them to the embalmers to frighten and vent his anger, he couldn't find anyone.

Thinking of this, Delos couldn't help snorting coldly. He found that his resentment towards that woman, Elyse, had never diminished, so much so that this resentment occupied all his mind, leaving him no time to think about the woman far away. Biola of Tanis.

After defeating Solan with the Senet Chess, Delos did not choose to return to the port city, but went straight back to the capital.

During the period, he sent someone to Tanis to pick up the girl, but failed to bring her back——

Firstly, the girl was cursed, and no one dared to touch her; secondly, two envoys who were said to be important gods suddenly appeared beside the girl, and they did not agree with the pharaoh to pick her up.

The people sent by Pharaoh had no choice but to act as messengers and sent various reports to Pharaoh regularly: Miss Biola was hit by a tree and flower outside her tent;

Miss Biola raises lambs, and feeds and milks the lambs with her own hands every day...

What a poetic and pastoral life!

Delos felt yearning spontaneously——

But look at what this woman in Memphis did?

She unscrupulously interfered with the operation of the royal treasury, blatantly inserted people into it, and thus caused chaos at the Harvest Festival. Without the mercy of God Osiris, the entire king would suffer.

The most hateful thing is that she also turned the entire Memphis palace upside down, took all the valuables, even took away all the sleeping amulets, and left him with none——

How could he sleep at night!

Delos' anger welled up spontaneously, and the little bit of tenderness brewed just because of Biola had completely disappeared.

But even if he was angry, Delos still took Elyse, and even Elyse's family had nothing to do.

Erich's actions in the Royal Treasurer are well-known-it turns out that those clerks who are extremely cautious and respectful are all greedy, pocketing a lot of money, and playing tricks to make promises Tom's people offended all over.

Ai Lixi intervened recklessly, but actually forced these people to spit out part of the profits they earned.

She placed extra staff in the royal treasury, seemingly irrationally.And these people did not live up to the expectations of the public, and really took over the job, and they did better and better, which proved that the royal treasurer is not something that the nobles can monopolize if they want to monopolize it.

As a member of the royal family, Erich's actions have consolidated the royal power.So much so that after Tyros returned to the capital, he found that he had no reason to overthrow Elyse's original decision.

Pharaoh also had no way to remove Solan's military power at will - at that time, the gods once gave Solan a lightning strike as punishment.Even a pharaoh is not qualified to impose additional punishment on top of the gods.

Coupled with the fact that the frontier troubles are still lingering, even if the Hittites stand still, the Libyans and Carthaginians in the west, the various Nomes who intend to rebel in the south, and the Nubians in the south... are all ready to move.Delos couldn't do the act of breaking his own arm again.

In addition, before Alixie left the capital, she clearly had a bad relationship with the family, and even strictly prohibited the wife of the great priest from entering the palace.This is well known in Memphis.

At this moment, Delos was standing in the courtyard, feeling as if a boulder was pressing on his chest, and the anger and resentment in his heart had nowhere to vent, and he was extremely depressed.

"Tell the high priest to come to the king!"

Delos hated to order, but until the thin haired head of the acting priest Sasha appeared in front of him, the Egyptian pharaoh suddenly realized that the high priest Senmut had never returned to Memphis, and he did not know where he was.

"Sasha, divination for the king, the whereabouts of the princess, and whether she has arrived in Upper Egypt."

The acting priest Sasha responded in fear, and expressed tremblingly that he did not have the status of a high priest, so he could not use the oracle method to ask the oracle, and could only try to use amulets for divination.

After Delos complied helplessly, Sasha continued to make preparations tremblingly, and took out a silver amulet in the shape of a wishbone, tapped it lightly, and listened carefully to the sound from the amulet.

Sasha seemed to have no confidence in his divination. After the crisp knocking sound from the amulet disappeared for a long time, Sasha hesitated to speak: "My king, the result of the minister's divination is: the first king Her Royal Highness is not on the way to Upper Egypt..."

Delos' slightly closed eyes opened suddenly: Not on the way to Upper Egypt?

The more Sasha said, the more guilty he felt, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "The princess is on her way to a test. If she fails this test, she will never reach Upper Egypt..."

What kind of nonsense is this——Delos looked away with disdain at the same time, and glanced at Sasha lying on the ground, thinking that this person has neither the genius of the high priest nor the good background of other priests and priests Well, it was really not wise for me to promote him to be an acting priest.

High priest, where is the high priest?

Delos couldn't help being concerned about Senmut's whereabouts.Delos had not heard from the high priest since leaving Saqqara.

Senmut took over the re-set evasion from the craftsman Kalam——

He looked at it carefully, and saw that the amulet that had been split into two parts had now been combined into one, and a meandering golden thread could be faintly seen in the crack.

This is Karam using gold as a medium to re-set the two halves of the amulet into a complete one.

Other than that, this amulet has not changed from the past, and the image of the baboon covering its ears and refusing to listen is still vivid.

Senmut immediately raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

Kalam and his son Hunsu stood directly across from Senmut, and both of them definitely felt the joy and gratitude rushing towards them-the high priest who could affect others with emotions didn't even have to say it.

Karam quickly responded: "You're welcome, you're welcome!"

"The symbols you designed for us recently are really simple and easy to use, and now we can hardly do without—"

Previously, Senmut started from the monk scripts he knew, selected some that ordinary villagers could use daily, and simplified them so that they could form simple phrases and convey important information.

Because there were not many of them, ordinary people in the artisan village and militia brigade could memorize them by rote.

They immediately found the symbols to be useful.After all, as long as you stay there, people can get information, and you don’t need to be reminded repeatedly, repeating it over and over again-the cooks who are responsible for providing meals every day in the women’s team have a deep understanding of this.

People more or less have a premonition that these strange symbols may bring great changes to their lives in the future.

Kalam would be so solemn to express his gratitude to the high priest.

The same is true for Hansu, the little boy is raising his face at this moment, looking at Senmut, his pair of shiny black eyes rolled and turned, as if to say: Master Senmut, don’t you want to teach us more?

But Senmut reached out and put the evasion coin around his neck.

In an instant, both Karam and Hunsu felt a little different.The High Priest's demeanor became cold and indifferent, and the innocent light in his eyes and the pleasant curve of his mouth seemed to have disappeared in a very short period of time.

But Senmut immediately realized this, reached out and took off the evasion, and apologized with a smile: "See if it works—"

Kalam couldn't help recalling the reason for avoiding the fragmentation: it was said that it was crushed by a young woman who was under a curse.Will it be contaminated with a little breath from the evil god?

Kalam opened his mouth to remind, but heard Senmut ask: "Are you leaving too?"

Kalam suddenly forgot what he wanted to remind, nodded instead, and said, "Yes. I am summoned by Knum, the god of craftsmen, and I need to go to Upper Egypt."

He is the favored person of the god Knum, and it is impossible for him not to go when the god he follows calls.

"Upper Egypt..."

Senmut sounded a little surprised, and asked again: "Will you take Hunsu there?"

Kalam said hesitantly: "I intend to keep the child here. After all, the people here treat him very well. Even if I am not here, there is no shortage of food and drink for him... But he refuses, but wants to Go and see Upper Egypt."

Senmut lowered his head, and his eyes just met Hunsu's.The child's clear eyes immediately reflected the brown-haired golden eyes of the high priest.

"Hansu, it's definitely a good thing to go around and gain knowledge when you are young. You are doing the right thing."

Hansu suddenly laughed happily.

Karam sighed with regret: "Master High Priest, I thought you would help me persuade this child..."

Senmut's gaze still did not leave Hunsu's eyes.He saw the child shrug his shoulders like an adult, and spread his hands, as if to say: No way, I can't persuade my father either.

Senmut was amused by the child and laughed: "Then I can help you!"

As he spoke, he raised his arm, pulled out a wishbone-shaped amulet from his sleeve, tapped it lightly, and made a buzzing sound.

Sen Mut closed his eyes and concentrated, and circled the amulet half a circle in front of him, then opened his eyes, and said to the father and son in front of him: "You two are going to Upper Egypt on this trip, and you will not encounter any particularly big ones. Dangerous, but beneficial."

With the divination results of the high priest here, Karam had no choice but to agree to take his son to Upper Egypt.

Before leaving, the craftsman father and son bid farewell to Senmut.

Hansu waved to the high priest: "Master Senmut, goodbye... I don't know when we will see you again!"

When Senmut heard this, his face became a little strange, and he said, "According to my divination just now, I will see you again soon, soon..."

When Erich's royal fleet was berthed at the next bend of the river to rest, the prayers of the devout believers of God Amon came again.

"Great God Amon, I helped your favored one find out what she wanted to know."

Alicia: ...so fast?

She asked Biola to inquire about it, but she actually tried to inquire about it herself.But was rejected on the spot by the envoy of Tefnut.

She was very interested and wanted to know how old the two envoys, the God of Wind and the God of Rain, were.

"I pretended to be curious, and asked Granny Yushen if she had ever seen a pharaoh when she was young, and if so, which dynasty and which pharaoh..."

Alice immediately reached out and slapped her forehead: It turned out to be this method!Why didn't she think of it?

"Because I have some knowledge about the ages of the pharaohs in history. So I can guess her age from her answer. It's just not necessarily completely accurate. The error may range from tens to 100 years, so I want you to remind your loved ones."

Biola is really a good socialite. She uses this method to ask her age, tactfully and without showing any signs.

"However, I was surprised to find that Grandma Yushen is much older than she looks... She, she seems to have been born before the great turmoil."

"Before the great turmoil?"

In the temporary camp on the bank of the big river, Erich couldn't help making a sound of surprise.

She was mentally prepared that the actual age of the two envoys, the God of Wind and the God of Rain, might be far older than that of humans, but she never thought it would be so long ago.

Although she can't know for sure, people born before the great turmoil have lived to be at least two or three hundred years old.

"Respected God Amon, according to what the two envoys said, Grandpa Fengshen has indeed found a way to improve his personality. So they want to ask you through me, how do you want them to repay this help?"

Alicia rolled her eyes——

This is something that was agreed earlier. If you can provide practical help on your side, then you can ask the other party to provide a certain amount of feedback within your ability.

But the specific help was provided by Biola. Erich thought to herself, what kind of reward should the other party provide in order to not lose her position and take into account Biola?

Suddenly, Alicia had an idea.
