From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

——Why is there a promotion ceremony all of a sudden?

Alicia thought dazedly.

She couldn't help raising her arm, looking at the wheel of fate on her right arm showing the personality.

Unexpectedly, the inner side of her right arm was bright at the moment, and the round wheel of fortune with eight spokes was completely transformed into a beam of light at this moment. Drawing endlessly from all ancient and living powers—

She had forgotten that when she faced the fennec demigod, her wheel of fortune showed that she was full.

It's just that at the time she thought it was an illusion created by the other party, and forgot to check again after the other party left.

Assuming that at that time she really had saved enough coins for promotion, then did she also save enough for a thousand pieces of joy?

Yes - Erich herself has the answer.

She definitely saved up a thousand pieces of joy.When she stood in front of the Saqqara Palace, receiving the cheers of the militiamen and civilians who survived the catastrophe;

When she stood in the swimmer's cave and faced the desert villagers who had regained hope, she had already accumulated enough of the most natural and common emotions in human society.

"what--"

Alicia let out a scream uncontrollably.

She never thought that being promoted would be such a painful thing.At that time, when the envoy of Anubis was promoted to the priest of the gods, he was obviously fine, and there was no problem?

But now she is like a balloon filled with something called energy, and if she is not careful, the balloon will burst.

Had she known that Asut's promotion was so painful, she would, he would... Of course she would still pursue promotion.

It's just that I will try my best to be prepared to avoid such a sudden and so helpless situation.

So what is going wrong here?

Facing the familiar pair of golden eyes in front of her, she suddenly realized: High Priest?

Erich woke up instantly, and grabbed Senmut's arm as soon as she raised her hand: "Master High Priest, how could it be you?"

She burst into joy: "You were the first to find me, that's great——"

Nanna, don't worry about Nanna now.

Her thoughts jumped from Senmut to Nanna.Since it was the priest of God Tut who found her first, at least Nanna would not be controlled by any evil god, and she would not be forced to sacrifice to the evil god, or pay an unbearable price.

Erich wanted to smile at Senmut, but she found that even the muscles of her face were a luxury for her at the moment.The sad smile she imagined was probably just a twist of facial muscles in the end.

She could feel Senmut breaking free from her arm, as if taking something from her neck——

"The baboons don't listen..."

Alicia heard herself murmuring, "So you've already fixed it."

Very good, in this way, the High Priest will not be infected by her manic and painful emotions.

Just let her suffer alone.

"His Royal Highness First Princess..."

A soft and magnetic voice rang in his ears.

"Would you like to open your heart to my minister?"

At this moment, Alixi felt the power from the heart, and an unusually soft, quiet but extremely powerful emotion quickly poured into her heart, and began to appease her ubiquitous rage and throbbing.

She regained her sobriety and sanity almost at the same time.

The high priest was silently staring at her with a pair of beautiful golden eyes.

"I do not want to--"

Alicia turned her face away, looked away, trying to use a tough attitude to oppose Senmut's comfort.

But deep in her heart, she could almost hear her own voice saying: Why don't I want to?

only……

Opening up means allowing this pain to infect others as well.

She didn't want to owe anything, especially him.

Although he has a high personality, he knows all the spells known in this world.But she always remembered that he was a young man who was easily infected by other people's emotions, and his eyes turned red from crying easily.

She still remembered that he told her personally that it was both a gift and a curse. He once watched his biological mother die, and he felt all the pain of dying without reservation.

So she pretended to be strong and turned her head away to avoid his sight—this was the path she chose, so she should bear the suffering along the way alone.

Unexpectedly, she felt that her heart was suddenly touched gently, and the original resistance and determination in her heart disappeared instantly.

There is no defense.

The high priest's control over other people's emotions seems to have gone up several steps.

Alicia turned her head in a daze, and met those golden eyes.Senmut's eyes are deep, as if containing the entire sea of ​​stars.

At this moment, all the pain was withdrawn and left.

Alicia felt that the energy in her body began to straighten out, and she closed her eyes happily——

It was as if she had suddenly unlocked a whole wall of drawers—she busily opened these drawers and put all kinds of energies into them.

Once the storage space is sufficient, her body, as the container itself, will not be easily exploded.

The dots of light that emerged from the Swimmer's Cave gathered around Erich again.Earlier she was like a blocked canal, unable to accept these points of light.

But now, all barriers are gone, and Erich is free to draw energy from the world around her. Positive emotions such as pride, gratitude, and joy begin to surge in her heart-she knows that these are the ancient creatures in Swimmer's Cave. Brought to her by the spirit.

She needs to work hard and use all these external forces to complete this promotion.As for what consequences the promotion will bring to her.

Alicia tirelessly absorbs the gifts from the outside world while patiently straightening out her own energy system.

During this process, she occasionally opened her eyes and glanced at the man sitting across from her.

Yes, they were sitting facing each other at the moment, Senmut lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes tightly.His evasion, which had been repaired, was lying casually at his feet.

His pair of handsome long eyebrows that seemed to be painted were deeply furrowed, and he pursed his lips tightly as if he was trying his best to endure.

Tears were seeping from the corners of his closed eyes, and he seemed to be doing everything he could to keep himself from sobbing.

Alicia immediately understood what the other party had borne for her——

He took all the pain for her, just because it might be easier for him to bear.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Erich will not bother to make concessions with Senmut.Now that she already owed Senmut a debt, she didn't worry much.

She refocused her mind and observed herself with all her consciousness. She felt that her limbs and bones were completely opened, as if she was open to the energy of nature without any defense.

And she is like a black hole, quickly absorbing all the energy in the cave with ancient power into her body——

"Snapped--"

It was as if a switch had been snapped off.

The suction stopped and the universe around her returned to balance.

And when Alicia opened her eyes again, she instinctively realized that she was completely different from herself half an hour ago.

With the help of the high priest, she completed her promotion, and she is already an envoy of God in person.

The ancient spirits in the Swimmer's Cave seemed to be a little afraid of her, and they were not as close as they were when they first saw her. At this moment, they were all lined up on the surrounding stone walls, waddling and greeting her.

And Senmut still closed his eyes tightly, his body leaned forward, his arms were supported on the ground, and his whole body kept trembling slightly.

Apparently he took all the pain of this promotion for her.And this pain has not been able to calm down for the sensitive high priest.

Alicia approached him, stared at him for a moment, then suddenly stretched out her right finger, and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of the high priest's left eye.

"Remember? I was your anchor—"

"I have always been."

She knelt on the ground, opened her arms, and very suddenly wrapped Senmut around her shoulders.

During this process, her mind was as strong as iron, and there was no fluctuation in her mind during the whole process.But such an emotionally stable hug was enough for Senmut to calm down all the pain in the fastest time.

She saw Senmut gradually stop shaking, and she let him go gently.

She rose and turned to the mouth of the Swimmer's Hole.She still didn't know that a light storm had just happened here. The desert villagers who followed her had listened to the high priest's instructions earlier, and at this moment they were embracing each other, covering their eyes, and facing away from the Swimmer's Cave.

Alicia coughed lightly.

A little clever ghost turned around and peeked at her through his fingers.The brother and sister made eye contact with her, and instead of feeling scared, they showed expressions of surprise and joy.

Then cheers burst out, and everyone here felt sincere joy and gratitude.They seem to see a brighter future for no reason, and their hearts are filled with hope.

Erich walked towards them, accepting their greetings and thanks.Without them, she really didn't know when she would be able to complete such a promotion ceremony.

Realizing that she was saying goodbye to them, she approached the apple-faced girl and the pointed-jawed boy.

She realized that she had never asked their names. It seemed that she had asked many times, but she couldn't remember the result each time.Farewell is coming soon, even out of politeness, Erich should ask again.

So she asked.

This time she clearly saw the little girl and the little boy answering her in turn.They each announced a name.

But she just...couldn't hear their names.

Erich approached them, expressing with great effort that she wanted to hear it again.Both children also opened their mouths——

"His Royal Highness the First Princess..." Alicia heard an unusually clear voice behind her.

When Alixi turned her head, she suddenly saw Senmut standing behind her with a very different temperament.

His pair of golden eyes seemed to be much lighter than before, and his whole person looked refreshing and indifferent.

"I think it's impossible for you to hear their answer."

The respondent's voice was really nice, but it contained a coldness that would make people thousands of miles away.

Erich's eyes followed Senmut's neckline to his neck.There was hanging an amulet carved with the image of a baboon whose body had once been split open, a golden thread now running through the former crack.

This is, to avoid.

"His Royal Highness the First Princess—"

The speaker uses a very official tone.

"Thank you for your explanation."

Senmut walked slowly in the Swimmer's Cave with his hands behind his back, not hiding his interest, carefully observing the petroglyphs on the rock wall, and said as he walked, "This is an ancient relic that I have never heard of."

"Three years ago, I tried to trek in the desert west of the big river, looking for the ancient ruins left by the Scorpion King. But I was forced to turn back because I encountered an obstacle left by the evil god. I didn't expect you to have such a chance this time."

Alicia raised the corner of her mouth and said nothing, thinking to herself: This is not such good luck.

"However, it is indeed a bit dangerous for you to be promoted here just in time."

Alicia raised her eyebrows and asked, "How do you say that?"

Although Senmut is wearing the evasion, he is still the high priest who answers all questions.

"Usually, when every Asut is promoted, there will be a certain overflow phenomenon."

"Because Asut's promotion needs to meet two conditions at the same time, one is to have enough Ba, and the other is to collect a sufficient amount of joy, respect or faith.

These two conditions are usually not met at the same time, maybe when you accumulate joy, you already have a high enough personality.And during this time your bar will continue to grow..."

Alixie has understood: it turns out that this is the so-called overflow.That is, the accumulated personality or other people's emotions exceed the requirements for promotion.

But what she didn't understand was that she met the two conditions almost at the same time, so the situation that Senmut introduced didn't exist for her.

"This kind of overflow will cause some troubles for Asut when he is promoted, and the degree of trouble depends on the degree of overflow."

"The solution to overflow is usually to invite the presence of other asuts—they can help the ascendant absorb excess energy and convert it into their own abilities or personalities."

Alice suddenly heard the situation when Anubis God Envoy Opter was promoted, and he invited himself and Nanna.

And there must be overflow in Optics.Not to mention the issue of personality, the respect he had accumulated in front of the Great Pyramid alone amounted to tens of thousands.

Well, it turned out that I and Nanna went to participate in the promotion ceremony of Opt.Not only did they take advantage of it, but they also helped Opte reduce the risk.

Fortunately, she is still so grateful to that man!

However, after thinking about it, Erich felt that Opter's overflow problem did not apply to her.

She clearly felt the joy of many people. First, there were more than 600 people in the palace in Saqqara, and second, just now, there were more than 300 residents in this desert village.

It adds up to a thousand, which is economical and applicable, no more, no less.

I only heard Senmut add another sentence: "It's not just a matter of quantity. It's also a matter of quality. If you accumulate respect and faith while accumulating joy, there will also be overflow problems."

Alicia froze for a moment.

She recalled the civilians and civilians in Saqqara, when they rejoiced that they escaped from death, they looked at her eyes, of course not only joy, but also respect.There is even a small group of people who respect her and Senmut as gods.

As for the villagers outside who have lived in the desert for a long time, they... They almost practiced for the purpose of establishing Alicia's faith.

"The overflow of this level will be much more serious than the simple quantity problem. In addition, promotion ceremonies are usually chosen to be held in places with divine power or ancient spiritual power. And here—"

Senmut turned his head and looked around at the petroglyphs on the rock wall, and said, "The ancient spiritual power here is too rich."

Alicia: ... No wonder I have indigestion, even if I absorb the energy, I can't take it in.

She solemnly bowed her head to Senmut: "My lord, High Priest, thanks to you."

"You're welcome." Senmut also bowed to Erich in an official manner, "Congratulations on becoming... the envoy of God Amon."

When he said this, he didn't hold back. He raised his head and looked at Ailixi's face carefully, and then said: "I really didn't expect, you, you..."

Even though he was wearing it to evade, he suddenly felt slightly sad when he said this, and he couldn't continue talking.

Alixi stared blankly at him for about one or two breaths, then suddenly came to her senses, and quickly reached out to touch her head and face.

"me--"

The tentacle is still smooth skin, good face, facial features are facial features, neck is neck, hair is hair...

She didn't turn into the appearance of a beast head?

She was promoted to become the envoy of God Amon, but she didn't get the animal form of God Amon?

The former envoy of Anubis wore the head of a jackal, the envoy of Sekhmet wore the head of a lioness, and the talented and high-ranked high priest Senmut also had to be together In a whole day, with a heron's head on his head, preaching to tens of thousands of people in a huge temple?

And she has been clearly promoted to the envoy of God Amon, but she doesn't wear any animal head?

What does this mean?

This shows that God Amon has no animal form at all.

God Amon—is herself.

Alixi stayed where she was, unable to move for a long time.

It was as if a Jiao Lei fell from the sky and blasted her until she was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

She remembered the sentence left by the fennec fox demigod before leaving: "Anyway, you will know soon."

He clearly knew that he had already accumulated enough personalities, and he also predicted that he should be able to accumulate enough emotions from the small village in the desert.

So he foresaw that he had met the conditions and would be promoted soon. Once he was promoted, he would immediately discover that the god he believed in had no animal form at all.

Alixi was stunned for about a lifetime before raising her head with great difficulty and looking at the high priest opposite.

Unexpectedly, Senmut was looking at her clearly.

It wasn't until he met her eyes that the high priest nodded lightly and responded, "Because you are the first princess."

Erich thought quickly, and immediately understood Senmut's logic: the Asut couple, like the two envoys of the wind god and the rain god, can indeed serve as an exception after they get married to avoid having the animal head human form of.

Pharaoh was a god who walked on the earth.Therefore, Senmut believes that, as the pharaoh's first wife and first princess, Elyse can also be exempted.Even if you become an envoy of God, you can also appear in a normal human form.

Well, that's a valid reason, Erich thought, and it could be used to fudge Nanna.

However, her heart suddenly moved: when she looked at Senmut, she suddenly and inevitably felt the endless sadness expressed by him.

Because you are the first concubine, the slight intimacy just now, the momentary support for each other, are all small ministers who have crossed the line...

Alixi couldn't help but widen her eyes, thinking: High Priest, what's wrong with you?

Wearing evasion, can you still use your emotions to influence others so unhindered?
