After the demigod of the fennec fox left, Erich remained in the Swimmer's Cave—she needed time to digest the large amount of information she had just obtained at one time.

Although none of this information may be true.

But at least one thing is illustrated: Seth, the god of desert and chaos.Although he once single-handedly led two attempted attacks on her, and ordered the demigod to directly bring her here from the Nile River, but currently he has no intention of killing her.

This shows that either she has value that God Seth can use, or God Seth is considering courting the forces behind her.

Alixi couldn't help laughing at herself: she was really inflated, and she actually felt that she had power behind her.

She lowered her head to think about the most terrifying hypothesis put forward by the fennec fox demigod:

God Amon does not exist at all, and it is she herself who establishes the belief of God Amon bit by bit in the world.

And the source of her strength is the original?

In other words, "Original" planned to create a new god and chose her as the object.

In this world, nothing is impossible.

But she will never blindly believe in the words of the demigod of the fennec fox—this may be a trap set by God Seth, and gradually induce her, Asut, who is steadily improving her status, to gradually fall to Isfat. confusion.

Thinking of this, Erich lowered her head to greet her talisman Ymir.

"Ymir, you heard what happened just now, what do you think?"

Earlier, Ymir turned half a circle on his own and pressed tightly against the linen robe on Erich's chest.

If the imaginary rune also has a face, then Ymir was so scared that he buried his face in Erich's clothes just now.

At this moment, the rune Ymir has resumed its original flattery——

"My great and noble master, please allow me to comment, just now you shocked the demigod of Seth with your strength and arrogance, this is an unprecedented achievement among the favored ones..."

Alicia: Come on!

If the fennec fox demigod hadn't been forcibly downgraded, she would have gone half-mad just by looking at the demigod form of the other party. What deterrent is there?

She didn't allow Ymir to talk nonsense anymore, and asked directly: "Is what he said true? God Amon..."

Alixi didn't know how to word it for a moment:

God Amon is me?I am God Amon?

Is this really a joke?

But Ymir continued to flatter: "Great master, have you forgotten that Ymir found your purpose?"

Alicia was silent for a moment: she won't forget.

Ymir turned into the eyeball on her statue and found her in such a tortuous way, saying that she thought she was qualified to be the successor of the previous female pharaoh Nitocris, and as a female pharaoh, she became the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt.

"To Ymir, you becoming a god and becoming a pharaoh are exactly the same to Ymir."

Pharaoh is a god who walks in the world, and it is not a foul for Ymir to say that.

"but……"

Erich thought that she was only determined to become a pharaoh in order to get rid of the fate of being mummified, and on this condition, she entered into a divine contract with God Amon.

If it is said that God Amon does not exist at all, then who did she sign the divine contract with?

After thinking about it, Erich finally asked Ymir: "How much do you know about the original?"

When she spit out the original two words, the scene she saw under the Saqqara Palace couldn't help appearing in her mind:

The steep stairs that are almost straight down, the boundless water vapor, the orange light that rises from the depths of the ground, and the weird voice that always echoes in my ears.

"The eternal sleep here..."

"Mysterious Eternal..."

"Death itself..."

"It will also disappear ①—"

When asked about it, Ymir obviously shuddered, repeating tremblingly: "Originally..."

Alicia then asked, "Do you not know or dare not say?"

She knew that Yumir, a coward, might not have the guts to answer all the questions.But she can make a certain judgment based on Ymir's attitude.

Ymir's voice immediately recovered that respectful and flattering temperament: "Dear master, I really don't know."

Then why are you shaking?

Alicia thought rather messily.

"But as soon as it is mentioned, Ymir will...can't help but feel afraid, it's true...fear..."

When the talisman spoke, it even made a sound like teeth clashing.

Erich recalled the self-introduction made by the other party when she first met the talisman Ymir—this guy claimed to be a precious treasure with divinity.

Even divinity feels inherent fear when referring to the original?

Does this also explain the change of God Seth's attitude towards her to a certain extent?

"Okay, that demigod has left, and the restriction he left here should have been lifted. Now we should think about how to go back."

Elyse was a bit depressed: the fennec fox, who had taken her from the Nile to the Swimmer's Hole, had never thought of sending her back.

Or maybe the god Seth, who is in charge of the desert and chaos, wants to keep her here, and doesn't intend to let her leave easily.

Now that the restriction is lifted, Alicia suddenly gets inspiration about the outside world: "Nanna!"

Counting from the moment she disappeared, a whole day and night have passed.The War God's Blessed One, who has always been inseparable from her, is probably going crazy at this moment.

She hurriedly tried to log into the Eye of Horus, pointing at Nanna—and this time it worked.

The fennec demigod really lifted the restriction in the Swimmer's Cave, allowing her to communicate with other Asuts.

Erich emerged from a tent on the banks of the great river.

She happened to meet Nanna's wide-open eyes: "Miss—"

Alicia: ...

When will Nanna be able to see her spirit body?

I just heard the God of War's favored person continue to mutter: "Miss... Where are you..."

It turned out to be talking to myself.

At this moment, Nanna's eye sockets were sunken, and the under eye circles were black and blue. It was obvious that she hadn't closed her eyes all day and night.

Alixie was thinking of a way to inform Nanna, who could not see the spirit body, and tell her that everything was fine, but she was too far away, and she didn't know the way, so she couldn't come back for the time being.

But she saw Nanna sitting upright in the tent, leaning on her long bronze sword with both hands, and gradually closing her eyes—the God of War's beloved finally couldn't bear it, so she just sat and fell asleep.

good chance!

Alicia hurriedly logged out and then logged in again, directly entering Nanna's dream.

When she just fell asleep, she heard a joyful cry: "Miss, miss, are you okay——"

The well-figured God of War Blessed rushed up and hugged Erich's spirit body directly.

Alicia: Nanna...you are in a dream...you are so strong...

Nanna might wake up at any moment, so Alixi hurriedly told this loyal follower: "Don't worry, I'm fine, but I'm trapped in the desert far, far west of the river..."

Nanna didn't seem to listen to Ai Lixi's words at all, she just grabbed Ai Lixi's arm and said loudly: "I have prayed to all the gods in this world, as long as their gods can find you, they can Feel free to ask for Nanna's offerings..."

Alicia was almost stupid on the spot: "Nanna, how could you do... such a dangerous thing?"

At first she was also very moved, but she reacted instantly, and then she was frightened by Nanna's recklessness.

This god of war prayed to all the gods in the world, if any evil god responded... not to mention other evil gods, if Seth answered...

No, Erich immediately overturned her own thoughts. Although God Seth is an evil god, he doesn't seem to be so shameless, and he won't do such a thing of self-directed, self-acted kidnapping and self-receipt of bounty.

"Nanna, listen to me, don't pray to the gods like this anymore, and don't make any promises of dedication. You stay where you are, and when I come back, I will definitely come back safely..."

"Master Maid!"

The tent was raised and someone came in.

Nanna woke up with a start.

The person who came was Gregor, the Queen's Navigator, and he withdrew immediately after explaining the arrangements of the sailors to Nanna.

Nan Na recalled her dream in a daze: "I actually dreamed of Miss?"

She rubbed her sore temples and said to herself, "It must be because I miss Miss so much."

"What? How do I remember that Miss told me in a dream not to continue to pray to all the gods in the world, and not to promise to give?"

Nanna slapped her thigh suddenly: "By the way, people say that everything in dreams is reversed."

"Miss must hope that I will pray to the gods quickly."

So the god of war knelt down on one knee again, and prayed devoutly to the gods standing in the sky in her imagination: "O great gods who look down on the whole of Egypt, Nanna, the favored god of war Mengtu, Still praying for the mercy of the gods, Nanna is willing to pay the price expected by all the gods for this, and give it to the first god who finds the whereabouts of the princess..."

Erich, who observed the follow-up through the Eye of Horus, was almost undefeated.

She didn't plan to give Nanna any more instructions for the time being.But she made up her mind to observe carefully who the god-favored people who came to look for her were—once she found something was wrong, she had to hide quickly.

You can't really make Nanna pay an unbearable price for finding her, can you?

In the Swimmer's Cave, Erich has avoided the hottest period of noon.At this moment, there is still some time before nightfall, and it is suitable for traveling.

And Erich felt she had to go.

Although the water vapor collector can help her collect the poor little water in the desert.But because there was no food, she was so hungry that her chest was stuck to her back.

So Elysee bids farewell to the spirits in the Swimmer's Cave.

At this moment, those tiny spots of light also left the stone wall in the cave one after another, and gathered around Erich, surrounding her, looking very reluctant.

Alicia could only smile wryly: "Maybe I'll be back soon?"

She couldn't help but think of the teleportation spell mentioned by the demigod of the fennec fox, which was probably an abbreviation for terms such as teleportation.

The other party is powerful, and in case there is any dissatisfaction with Ailixi, she can be arrested at any time.

In addition, the fennec fox demigod was vague when she left, as if to say that the ordeal she had experienced was not over yet.

And all the important forces in the world are watching the result.Erich didn't know whether she would usher in some dream-like scenes in the future.

Leaving the Swimmer's Cave, Alicia carried a vapor collector in one hand and a cane in the other, and walked along the desert towards the direction of the setting sun, hoping to find something that could serve as food along the way.

The sun is gradually approaching the horizon, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the monotonous and boring desert into rose color.

Alicia felt that her physical strength was about to be exhausted, and her limbs were limp and she didn't want to move.She hadn't drank water for several hours, hadn't eaten for a whole day, and even her iron body couldn't hold on.

Sometimes she even wanted to lie down in the vast sea of ​​sand and never have to get up again.However, the stomach is empty and the hunger is unbearable.

The instinctive yearning for food forced her not to stop, and the imagination of all the delicious tastes in her mind became the driving force for a while——

Alixi seems to be using various means to deceive her body, deceiving it to take one step at a time.

"Alich—"

Alixi walked two steps forward with her cane, and at the same time asked herself in a low voice: "You can even say the bold words of Fafa Lao, and it's a trivial matter to keep yourself alive... don't you have the ability to persist?"

The reason why she is struggling to move forward at this moment is because she has seen a little hope.

In the twilight, she saw two small, human-like sculptures in the distance—her intuition told her that they might be a sign of a nearby village or settlement.She had to get to the feet of the two sculptures before it was completely dark.

But when Alixi was a hundred steps away from the two sculptures, she saw the two sculptures moving by themselves——

Alixie's thoughts were a little dull at the moment, and the only thing she thought of was: How could the statue also run on long legs?

Suddenly, she finally understood something.

"and many more--"

Those are not sculptures, they are two children who are not tall.They had been standing quietly in the desert before, motionless, so they looked no different from stone sculptures.

One of the children ran away, and the other slowed down obediently, staying where she was and waiting for Elyse.

When Erich came to the child who was waiting for her, another child came running back.

He brought a torch from behind a hill that looked like a dark cloud in the distance.A big dog half the height of a man barked and jumped and followed behind him.

It turned out that I didn't abandon her, but just went to get a torch!

Erich judged in her heart: the adults should have been notified.

In a blink of an eye, the two children had all run to Alicia.

Alixi took a closer look: a boy and a girl.The girl had a face as red as an apple, while the boy had a thin face with a pointed chin.

The girl had a delicate appearance and gentle eyes. She looked at Alicia and called a sister, and then said: "In the afternoon, a fox with big ears said that you would come and asked us to wait for you here—"

The big-eared fox... is the fennec fox a demigod?

But the boy's eyes were stern.Holding the torch high in one hand, he patted the dog's back with the other, staring at Erich with hostility and disbelief.

He even glanced at Alicia's thick waist like a kid, and then gave her a contemptuous look, as if to say: Oh, woman, what else do you do besides eating and sleeping?

Ai Lixi stared back unceremoniously: Huh, Xiao Douding, at this age, why pretend to be a straight man?

Of course, what Alixi wanted most at the moment was to be able to eat a mouthful of hot bread, lie on a soft cushion and sleep without worrying about anything.

But she always tried to stay vigilant, and tried to figure out whether this was reality or an illusion——

The two children in front of her, a girl and a boy, were exactly the same as the ones she saw in the two scenes she had experienced earlier in the hands of the fennec fox demigod.

So it's still a test -- a test in the real world --

Alicia got her wish and actually ate a mouthful of freshly baked warm bread.

She never thought that she would be able to eat such bread in her lifetime. It is made of old barley, and only about half of the wheat flour is used. Chewing, can only swallow whole.

Alicia had never experienced such poor food before wearing a book, and as the first princess after wearing a book, it was even more impossible for her to try it.

Who would have thought that tonight she was sitting by the fire, holding the bread while roasting it, feeling the aroma of wheat, and almost swallowed it on her own tongue.

Many eyes were cast on her, both curious and wary.

It was a small village nestled behind that cloudy hill.The village only built walls with stones to roughly divide the houses and courtyards, and then covered them with simple shelters made of seabuckthorn or Haloxylon grass, which are common in the desert. They are not even houses in the strict sense. .

What's interesting is that this village is exactly the same as the scene where Alicia was introduced into circulation by the fennec fox demigod earlier.It turned out that the demigod actually used the prototype to build the scene for her test.

Not only the size, orientation, and shape of the village are exactly the same as those at that time, but the two children around Elyse are also basically consistent with the people at that time.

The girl was gentle and caring, sitting quietly beside Alixie, looking at the vapor collector, and asked curiously and expectantly: "Really... can it really work?"

"How long will it take to see the water vapor it collects?"

Alixi carefully explained the principle of this collector to her, but for some reason, the situation she saw in the scene kept flashing in her mind:

When the whole family successfully improved their living environment and thus established their beliefs, the immature girl at that time was already old, and even turned into dust when she touched it——

Building faith with help and guidance takes a long time, even generations.

"Humph!"

While Alixi was contemplating, she was suddenly awakened by a cold snort in her ear.

Then she saw the little boy standing behind her, holding a torch in one hand and a long wooden stick in the other, with something stuck in it.But a smell of roasted oil came to the nostrils.

"you--"

The little boy had a straight face and raised his chin towards Alicia.

"this is for you!"

"Mom and Dad, they said you need to eat this now!"

As soon as the voice fell, Alicia heard a sound of drooling.It was obvious that the kid was as reluctant as he could be when he handed the skewer to Elyse.But he still regards this as what he should do.

The child always showed a look of disbelief, and seemed hostile to everything.

But if this is for the purpose of protecting others and the village, Erich also expressed her understanding.

She took the wooden stick and said thanks.

The little boy pretended to be an adult, but when he handed out the wooden stick, he couldn't help taking another sip of saliva. The pair of bright eyes couldn't be removed from the wooden stick in Erich's hand. The only free hand even moved, as if it would be unable to control itself at any time.

Erich looked at him, but still put the wooden stick in front of her——

She needs nourishment, and she also wants to see if the kid will really pick on her like in scene two.

The fire light illuminated the wooden stick in Erich's hand, allowing her to recognize one after another black objects that exuded the aroma of oil——

scorpion...
