Radiant Enemy

Hilgna would not be so stupid as to use the same means to deal with Seti I, the wise pharaoh whose eyes and ears are all over this land of golden sands.

The home court belongs to Seti I. No matter how much Hilgna plans, Seti I only needs one sentence to put all his plans to waste.

However, Hilgna has already planted the seeds, and only needs to wait patiently for the seeds to mature and harvest the fruits.

Several months passed quickly. During this period, the residents in the city of Egypt felt that the storm was coming, and the streets were depressed a lot, except for the particularly daring businessmen who did not want to give up huge profits and tied their heads on their belts They continued to come to Egypt to sell goods, and the others hid in their homes, hoping that this innocent disaster would end soon.

Root fought with his own brother and political opponents for several months, and found out all the other's clues, which disturbed the whole of Egypt.

At the beginning, they were worried about not making too much trouble, but they didn't know who was fishing in troubled waters, pulling all the factions in the entire government into trouble, from the small things at the beginning, to the ugly side of the entire court. It was revealed in the eyes of Seti I.

As a ruler, Seti I certainly knew that his subordinates would definitely have some moths after they gained power, but he never imagined that there were not a few clean and honest people among his courtiers.

Seti I was furious, and the chaotic scene was gradually calmed down under the king's vigorous actions.

This time, a large number of people were removed from their positions and replaced with new ones, and Root was among them.

The one who took over the position of general was not the younger brother who was full of bad ideas and wanted to replace him, but another unknown rising star of their family who had been tempering himself.

After Hilgner got the news, he wasn't very happy either.

It is obvious that Pharaoh's follow-up measures have long intended to clean up the moths of these countries. His plan actually gave him an excellent reason, and he naturally replaced the group of young people. When Ozyman Diaz succeeds to the throne in the future, he will be surrounded by young people who are full of vigor and vitality like him, and will not encounter obstacles from powerful officials and relatives.

After Ozyman Diaz succeeds to the throne, maybe there will be a big war between Egypt and Hittite.

If a powerful feudal kingdom wants to get more resources, it can only expand around.

Lying on the bed, Hilgna sighed, and said: "Seti I is really a hero. He took so much pains to pave the way for his son, Ozyman Diaz's name will definitely be recorded in the history books."

Arash smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Master, you don't want to inherit the Hittite throne, do you? That's a pity. If the Hittite king is you, even if the little Highness succeeds, Egypt may not It must be defeated successfully."

Hilgner thought for a while and said, "Let's be king. I was still hesitant, but after coming to Egypt, I suddenly felt that being a king is not very interesting."

In the last life, when Hilgna ascended the throne, many courtiers tried their best to prevent him from conquering himself, not to mention when the whole of Ireland was taken into his hands, those who defected and surrendered from all over the world, Not only did he not be allowed to travel freely as before, but he was also constantly persuaded to marry a woman's concubine and give birth to offspring.

If it wasn't for Hilgner's inner desire to build the utopia he dreamed of, he would have left that imprisoned life long ago.

He has been the king for two lifetimes, and no matter how much he likes to be a king, he will get tired of being a king, so Hilgna is going to change his interest in this life.

"What about Hittite? After all, it is also your country, Master?" Arash asked.

Hilgner raised his fingers: "My elder brother has soft ears, and he is probably just a puppet of his mother's family when he ascends the throne. The other princes and princesses are not very good. But there is no rush now, my good father is in good health. It’s Jianlang, and the heirs will have to wait a few years to compete for the throne. At that time, all the princes will be participating in the government, and there will always be tall ones among the short ones.”

After a pause, Hilgner continued: "Besides, Hittite was not left behind. I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune. Among the new officials who were promoted this time, there are spies sent by Hittite."

Of course, these spies were not the two that Hilgna had been told about, but a senior spy who had been buried deeper and had even entered the court system.

They were also aware of this turmoil and knew that it was a good opportunity for them to take the top position, so they also fished in troubled waters and made the matter even bigger.

Who knew that the turmoil that involved almost half of the courtiers in the Egyptian royal court was just stirred up by Hilgna in order to live a peaceful life of salted fish?

No one would have thought of this. Hilgna was by Ozyman Diaz's side and was highly appreciated by Seti I. He was also a weak proton. No one could have imagined that the initiator of all this would be he.

Oh, and maybe one person has to be culled.

——That's Root.

Although he lost his position as a general, he was not completely stripped of his official position. He just went up and down without real power, but this was more sad than letting him die.

No one knew exactly what caused this turmoil, but Root intuitively realized that Hilgner must be involved.

Root shuddered, that weak proton alone could set off such a riot in Egypt, and possessed terrible martial arts. He seemed to be able to see that Egypt would be messed up by Hilgna in the future, becoming weak and impoverished. The future of the Hittites.

The reason why Root targeted Sylwagner so much was because he saw that this son of Hittite could not be used by Egypt, and he possessed strange abilities. Sooner or later, he would become Egypt's confidant and bring disaster to this land.

——He even dreamed of Egypt at night, screaming under the ravages of fire, rain, thunder and hail.

In the dream, the people of Egypt fled in panic, and the cries of children could be heard endlessly. Unprecedented hunger, plague, drought and disaster swept this golden country.

For his king and his beloved country, Hilgna must die!

Root firmly believed that this nightmare was the revelation and dream given to him by the Nine Pillars God, to let him get rid of the threat from Hittite and completely sweep away the haze that was about to cover Egypt, and he firmly believed in this.

But he had lost his original official position and the right to meet the Pharaoh, so he could not report his worries to Seti I.

And His Royal Highness Ozman Diaz seemed to be fascinated by that Hilgna, and ignored his faithful advice, and even lost his temper with him, thinking that Root was underestimating his strength and did not believe him With his own ability and strength, Hilgna can be defeated by him convincingly.

Although Root has selfish desires in his heart, his love for Egypt is genuine.

So he fell silent, but decided in his heart to get rid of this hidden danger for his motherland.

Hilgner is not a person who kills, and after confirming that Lute can no longer jump in front of him, and can no longer be used as an official, he forgets about him.

Now occupying most of the white-haired prince's mind, how to please himself in this era of poor entertainment.

football?Although there is a venue, Hilgner has no way to find materials that can be inflated and strong enough to make a sphere.

Same reason for basketball and other ball games.

In fact, football can be reproduced, but Silgner himself does not like this sport.

Why should he watch muscular men bumping into each other under such a scorching sun?even get involved?

But maybe Ozyman Diaz would like it, he likes warriors with outstanding martial arts, and Hilgna thinks that he changed his attitude towards him precisely because he saw his superb martial arts.

Thinking about it carefully, the only entertainment activities that can make Hilgner feel happy without running around outside are only poker and board games.

"...Just play werewolf killing."

Hilgna decided so.

The rules of werewolf killing are changeable, and you only need a table and cards to play. As for poker, Hilgner first thinks of a way to make light and hard paper before thinking about it.

After all, if it is done differently, it is easy for the opponent to see that the cards are different, which makes cheating easier-this is not what Hilgner wants to see.

And the brand of werewolf killing doesn't even need to be done seriously, and it is possible to replace it with slate.

Of course, the name of the Werewolf Killer was also changed by Hilgner. He changed the background to a certain fictional town of Gomorrah, and changed the werewolf to a dead spirit who tried to invade the town at night and replace the people in the town. Soldiers, The civilians and the mayor remained the same, the prophet was changed to a priest, the witch was changed to a medical officer, and Cupid was changed to the god of pranks, Wevecoyotel——in the fairy tales that Hilgna read, the A god who is gender-specific, likes music and dance, loves mischief, and causes wars, just fits Cupid.

In fact, Cupid was designated as Wewe Coyotel because this god did not belong to the nine-pillar gods revered in Egypt. As powerful as the power of the storm god Seth.

The persimmon was soft, of course Hilgner chose him to be the 'Cupid'.

Of course, there are other purposes, but for the time being, it is not enough for outsiders.

Hilgna currently only sets these character cards. After all, if there are too many people playing for the first time, it will become confusing.

However, when Hilgna told that he had recently learned about a new game and invited other princes to play, at first they did not want to be commoners or undead, and some people (especially Ozyman Diaz) even priests I don't want to be.

"I am a descendant of the Egyptian sun god Ra, and all things will fall before me, how can I demean myself!" This is Ozyman Diaz.

"I don't care about the others, but I absolutely don't want to be a dead spirit!" This was the other prince who maintained his identity.

The game can't go on at all.

If it wasn't because this group of protons was the most leisurely and educated, otherwise Hilgner would rather find a few maids to play with.

Anyway, he doesn't mind those differences of dignity, as long as he can let himself have fun, anyone can do it.

But if you invite a maid, you have to start with literacy, which is too much effort.

"... Then I can't continue playing."

Hilgner spread his hands and said, "The uncertainty of drawing character cards, and the ability to adapt to this test, is the essence of this game."

Hilgner didn't have to force other people to play with him, as those who were unwilling to play would destroy the fun of the game.

Hilgna was glad that he only talked about the game verbally, and didn't carve out the clay tablets in advance, otherwise, those clay tablets would have been wasted.

The party was over, and Hilgner wasn't too upset.

After all, board games have to take into account the actual situation.

But he doesn't plan to modify the character card, because Hilgna intends to promote the game to the whole of Egypt, and earn his first gold by selling board game character cards.

Although the Hittite royal family gave him a lot of money when he came to Egypt, it was far from enough for what Hilgna was going to do.

Hilgna wants to create a ship, conquer the ocean that has devoured countless adventurers, and go to the other side and a wider place to have a look.

He originally considered whether to go on land, but the desert is more dangerous than the ocean in this era, so Hilgna himself rejected it.

"It seems that this board game is not suitable." Silgner touched his chin and sighed.

Originally, board games should be the least labor-intensive and most profitable entertainment item, and Silgner has prepared a lot of follow-up marketing plans, but judging from the reactions of the princes and Ozzman Diaz, I am afraid that the climate is not acclimatized.

But just giving up like this, Hilgner was not reconciled to the preparations he had made in the early stage, so he decided to use another plan-take the civilian route.

He picked up the blank clay tablet he had prepared, and carved a few simple characters on it, namely the commoner, the undead and the mayor.

There are only the three simplest roles, and for fun, Hilgner gave the mayor the ability to verify the identity of the prophet (sacrifice) twice, as for if the mayor is a dead spirit?Then it can only be blamed on the lack of luck and strength of the human side.

Then he bullied others once, and called all the servants and maids in the palace over to let them play with him.

The servants and maids in the palace are not exactly slaves, there are also civilians who enter the palace to work for their families, and these civilians are sent to the proton's palace to clean and cook for them.

Hilgner's status was the highest, and these attendants and maids did not dare to disobey his orders. Under Hilgner's auspices, the game of werewolf killing—or should I say necromancer killing finally kicked off.

As Hilgner expected, these maids and attendants didn't know how to play, and they foolishly revealed their identities at the beginning, wasting a lot of effort.

But soon, after they got used to the rules, they quickly got used to it and had a great time playing it-this game can be popular for a long time with so many entertainment items in later generations, which is enough to prove it It's interesting.

Although illiterate, they recognized the characters Silgner had drawn.

These characters are very distinctive, completely different from the current popular in Egypt with the shoulders facing the paper, but the head is completely turned to one side, they are more...beautiful.

These illiterate people at the bottom don't know how to describe the picture they see, but they instinctively know that the picture is beautiful.

The character card as a commoner is a handsome man with an ordinary face, but the character card as a necromancer is a delicate and beautiful girl.

In fact, this is also Silgner's consideration. If the Necromancer character card is drawn more hideously, these ignorant attendants will probably scream in fear and think that he is an evil mage.

In order to avoid this situation, Hilgner deliberately told a poignant and touching love story before the game started—love is the most enduring topic, at least it can reduce their resistance to the Necromancer character card.

The poor undead girl is waiting for the return of her lover who fought for the country, but she can't wait for her sweetheart to come home.

During this period of time, she was spotted by the bullies in the city and wanted to marry her, but the girl resisted to death, and finally committed suicide in order not to be humiliated.

But even so, her soul still awaits the return of her lover.

But the girl's lover had already died on the battlefield, even if she waited until the end of time, she would not wait for her lover.

In order to be able to wait for her lover to return, she entered the bodies of the people in the city and used their bodies to make her soul last longer.

The next thing is to kill the undead based on this background. The other undead are all parts of the girl's soul, lurking among the other villagers.

When telling this story, Hilgner actually saw many maids with red eyes and secretly wiping tears. In the game after that, they directly jumped out of their identity as commoners, hoping that the undead would win the game.

If Hilgener hadn't said that the side that won the game would be rewarded, such behaviors of jumping out would probably continue.

Humans are really real.

While Hilgner was feeling so emotional, he continued to guide the continuation of the game, and when these maids and attendants became addicted to playing, he threw out other settings.

Character cards for priests, medical officers, gods of mischief... and so on.

Although the change of the rules made these maids fall into a new round of confusion, after playing the simple version before, it only added a few upgraded versions of character cards, and after a period of time, they got started smoothly.

This game continued until the sky completely darkened.

Although Hilgna had candles from the Egyptian royal family on hand, these attendants and maids did not.

Besides, it was getting late, and they should go home, otherwise they would have to sleep in the corner of the wall when the gate of the palace was completely closed.

Hilgner happily let them go this time, and watched them leave with a smile.

Soon only Hilgna was left in the palace.

When he returned to his room, Arash showed his figure and asked puzzledly, "Why do you teach them this game?"

Hilgner closed his eyes, let his brain relax for a while, and then replied: "My plan requires people to play this game. Originally, I wanted to use the noble royals to promote it, but they were unwilling to play. Then you can only go the lower route.”

"Those attendants can't play in this palace all the time. Some people will want to teach this interesting game to their families. When the time is right, I will let those two spies pretending to be businessmen add fire to the nobles. Give gifts and let this game become a trend."

Hilgna had already thought about the gift, which was a character card made of gold, which was completely different from the role cards used by ordinary people in terms of exquisiteness and preciousness.

"'Smart Egyptians like to play Necromancer', 'Necromancer, a game to test your wisdom' as the slogan, those nobles who follow the trend will naturally be curious to try it."

From commoners to nobles, and then to promoting the royal family, this is Hilgna's plan.

The white-haired prince laughed happily: "Then we took advantage of the fact that the others hadn't realized it yet, and made those characters out of cards—without clay tablets."

Use the batch of paper that Hilgna made in advance.

Although it is impossible to make multiple cards of the same size and thickness as poker cards, ordinary board game cards can still be made.

Of course, Hilgner also considered the possibility that the investment and the reward would not be directly proportional, so he didn't invest all of it in one go.

Just a test of the waters.

If it can be successful, Hilgner might be able to strike while the iron is hot, and then launch other gold-raising plans.

As Hilgner expected, those servants and maids who were obsessed with necromancy couldn't help but spread the game, and it didn't take long for the people at the bottom to play this game.

Of course, the clay tablets they used were not the kind of Hilgna, they were very simple and rough, and they broke after only a few times of playing.

Then came the spies who were ordered by Hilgna to sell to other merchants and nobles.

They have completed the task assigned by Hilgna very well.

When the game was sent back to Hilgna again, the characters in the game had increased a lot, and their abilities were all kinds of strange.

But these hilgnas don't matter, as long as the game can be promoted smoothly.

Although Ozyman Diaz said before that he would not demean himself to be a commoner, necromancer or medical officer, but after his mother also liked the game, he was often drawn into the game.

The original disgust and rejection, after playing a few rounds, turned into enthusiasm.

It's just that Ozyman Diaz's ability to speculate and observe is too strong. No matter what kind of character card he draws, he can win within a few rounds.

After all, those who played with him were guards and attendants who did not dare to beat him. Although the queen with the highest status liked to play, her playing level was average.

Ozyman Diaz thought of Hilgna who first proposed to play this game. If it was him, he would definitely be able to enjoy himself.

But when he remembered his firm refusal at the beginning, the crown prince of Egypt hesitated a little.

What if Hilgna made fun of him?

Ozyman Diaz regards Hilgna as his opponent and best friend, which is really embarrassing.

But he didn't come to Hilgner, Hilgner came to him.

"Ozzy, Senasa invited us to play the latest version of 'Necromancer Killer', do you want to come together?" Hilgna seemed to have forgotten how Ozzyman Diaz rejected the identification before, and smiled with golden eyes The Egyptian prince sent an invitation.

Ozyman Diaz was startled, and smiled at Hilgna: "Of course! I will not lose to you!"

Then Ozyman Diaz was on the game and kept drawing character cards on the side with Hilgna.

So far, the whole of Egypt has fallen into the game of "Death Killer". Some clever businessmen naturally realized that the figure clay tablets used in this Necromancer can make a lot of money, but they haven't had time to buy production materials. , I found that there were so many materials, and all the craftsmen who could be recruited had already been hired by others.

Hilgna also set an image for the characters added by the Egyptian people, and handed it over to the spies to make character cards.

The spy, who was so impressed by Hilgna's ability, took over the job respectfully and started to work full of energy.

Although Hittite gave them a lot of start-up funds for the work of spies, they had to manage up and down, and they would soon be spent.

And Hilgner's whimsical ideas and one-step predictions can always bring huge profits, even if a little bit slips through his fingers, it is enough for them to live happily and comfortably for a long time .
