Great time travel

Chapter 1. The missing traveler

"... According to ancient legends, when Sirius appeared,
Dazzling golden maidens stand on the banks of the Nile,

That is the daughter of Harpy, the goddess of the Nile.

Her posture is as graceful as the Nile,

Her smile confuses everyone.

Daughter of the Goddess of the Nile, bless me Egypt.

O Nile, you are the god of Egypt, you are the law of Egypt, and I, Egypt, will always follow you! "

——Tomoeko Hosokawa "The Daughter of the Nile" (formerly known as "The Royal Arms")

The light from Venus slowly fades from the gradually brightening night sky.

The brilliant sun rose above the horizon, and the land was far and wide in the morning mist.

The winding Nile River rests on the vast Sahara Desert, flowing quietly in the morning breeze, shining brightly in the golden sun.

This eternal river brought greenness and life to the desert, and also nourished the splendid ancient Egyptian civilization.

——Mysterious Pyramids, Mysterious Sahara, Mysterious Nile River... In this mysterious land, people, affairs, and world affairs come and go in the change of time and space. Egyptians believe that the soul is immortal, and that real life begins with death.

Time flows quietly, human beings are born from generation to generation, and only the sun is the eternal witness of all this.

Although with the passage of time, everything about the ancient Egyptian civilization has been annihilated in the dust of history, the ancient documents that have been handed down to the present only record pieces of glory for thousands of years, and the historic sites that have gone through many vicissitudes are full of years of wind and frost.Despite this, generations of archaeologists are still attracted by the historical charm of ancient Egypt.Because in every corner of the Nile River, there seems to be hidden traces of ancient civilizations that human beings are proud of.

But at this moment, this vanished civilized country is vividly displayed in front of some time travelers.

——The hot and dazzling scorching sun, the vast golden desert, the rippling rivers and canals, the dots of white sails on the Nile, the lush reeds and palm trees, the ancient stone statues half buried in the sand dunes, gathered in the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool At the end of the field of vision, a magnificent ancient city surrounded by high walls and full of temples is looming behind large wheat fields and date palm trees.

One kilometer away from the bank of the Nile, on a bare rocky mountain, Wang Qiu, who was wearing a desert camouflage cloth, put away his binoculars.

"...cough cough, judging from the topography, this should be the capital city of ancient Egypt in the New Kingdom era - Thebes, the 'capital of a hundred gates'. Of course, this is a Chinese saying, Taiwan seems to be translated into German Bay City, like they translate Georgia into Georgia..."

The unique cool air in the early morning has long since dissipated. Facing the hot wind mixed with fine gravel, he coughed slightly and whispered to Senior Ma Tong who was lying beside him, "...Of course, the place we are in now The world is not the real ancient Egypt in history, but the plot space of "Daughter of the Nile", a shoujo manga, and there may be some subtle differences in geography..."

"...Hey, junior Wang Qiu, these things are not important at all, okay?"

Senior Ma Tong, who was also wearing a desert camouflage cloth, turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, "... Now we need to investigate clearly, the first is where the traveler who was left in this time and space is staying, and the second is How far has the plot of "Daughter of the Nile" progressed..."

"...Sister Ma Tong, if you ask me this kind of thing, who should I ask? Although I already know that the plot started three years ago, but..."

Wang Qiu smiled helplessly, "..."Daughter of the Nile" is not "Harry Potter". From the beginning to the end, there is almost no clear year and date! There is also the one who unfortunately fell into this plot space, named Zhang Daniu’s newcomer in Infinite Space also feels really weird—you might say that he has no skills. As a pampered modern person, he was thrown into ancient Egypt more than 3000 years ago without any preparation. , he was able to persist alive and kicking for three years, and he has not died until now, so his life is hard enough. Let’s say he has the ability. As a majestic time traveler, he lived in the time and space of ancient Egypt for three years , has not disturbed the world in the slightest, and hasn't even gotten a single reward point... How should people evaluate him? Sigh, this damn weather, I feel like I'm about to turn into a steel plate Burned……"

While wiping the dripping sweat, he desperately poured a drink into his mouth, "...it's hard to imagine that there is such a hot place in the world..."

——By the way, the ancient capital of Egypt, Thebes, is extremely hot during the daytime in summer, and the surface temperature can often reach as high as [-] degrees Celsius...

This is the new goal that Wang Qiu and Doraemon are about to explore, and it is also the immigration place they arranged for the survivors in the world of "School of the Dead".

As for the practical point of view... "God! This is clearly the originator of Marysu, the brainless, and it's still not over." ——Wang Qiuyu.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the eyes of male readers who call themselves "sensible", most of the worlds described in girly romance comics and novels are very brain-dead.

From mainland China's Qing Chuan Gong Dou drama, to Taiwan's Qiong Yao's true love and invincible works, and then various stories about Marysu, the Madonna of China, Japan and South Korea... Basically, the thinking has collapsed to the point where people can't help but try hard He slapped the table and shouted "this is not scientific".

Of course, there are not no realistic teenage love comics that make people feel that the background is real and logical.But "The Daughter of the Nile", the originator of the brain-dead Mary Suwen, is definitely not one of them-see how many flaws this novel has!
First of all, the entire civilized world of the Middle East in the comics seems to have never seen a blond and fair-skinned race like Kyrol, so she is enshrined as the daughter of the God of the Nile... Well, before the great migration of nations, The ancient peoples around the Mediterranean Sea were indeed mainly black-haired and brown-haired. If you want to find a blonde girl, you have to go to the Black Forest in Germany or Ukraine on the other side of the Black Sea. In the [-]th century, the Greeks and Phoenicians did not start to sail and colonize much, and international exchanges were not so frequent-but as a well-informed ruling class dignitaries, even if they did not see it with their own eyes, at least they should have heard it from businessmen or envoys. There are some fair-haired and fair-skinned strangers in the far north!If they are all ignorant, it feels as strange as the Jiangnan people in the Song and Yuan Dynasties did not know that the Japanese are short!

If we say that the rarity of fair-skinned blonde girls in the Middle East and Egypt can be explained by the infrequent population movement in ancient times, then the next flaw is that people don’t know what to say——Carol Traveling When we arrived in ancient Egypt, just as the old king of ancient Egypt passed away, the new king Memphis and his sister Isis ascended the throne, and planned to marry according to the tradition of marriage between close relatives of the ancient Egyptian royal family... As of now, it is basically in line with Logical thinking, as well as the political traditions of ancient Egypt, but the problem lies in the titles of the siblings: the old king's will actually divided Egypt into two, Memphis ruled Upper Egypt in the Nile Valley, and Isis ruled Become the queen of Lower Egypt ruling the Nile Delta!
——The peaceful country that had been united for many years was inexplicably divided into two halves... Such a weird thing seems to be comparable only to the split of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires in history.But the problem is that since the unification of ancient Egypt in 3100 BC, except for a few short-term foreign invasions and full-scale civil wars, there has been no tradition of division and separation at all, and the entire social psychology yearns for unity.As for the ancient Egypt in the background of the comics, there is no need to split at all. It seems that the author fiddled with such a weird setting in order to give Isis the title of queen.

However, the author seems to be aware of this, so he quickly let Memphis and Isis fall out, deposed Wang Jie as the Queen of Lower Egypt, and married Isis to Babylon, thus easily realizing the Egyptian civilization again. The unity of ... well, it feels really speechless.

On the other hand, after the heroine Kyrol was cursed and traveled to ancient Egypt, she also had golden thighs and the halo of the protagonist all the way-first fainted in a reed by the Nile, but was killed by a kind slave Saved.After the heroine Carol woke up, she kept yelling that she was from the twentieth century and that she did not belong to this era. She was going to find Queen Isis and let her send her She goes home!

——Just seeing this makes everyone who knows about ancient Egypt feel very powerless: Ancient Egypt is a slave dynasty with theocracy and kingship. This naive American girl should be said to be looking for death Woolen cloth?Or court death?Or court death?
Fortunately, although this American girl has no brains, she has the aura of the protagonist-Carol, who is talking about going home all day long, meets the handsome Egyptian king Memphis under the aura of the powerful heroine.After experiencing the trilogy of kissing the instep of Memphis, slapping Memphis, and rescuing Memphis who was bitten by a poisonous snake, Memphis fell in love with this special girl.Of course, in addition to these, Kyrol also knows how to turn sewage into clean water, how to forge iron swords... In addition, she has blond hair, blue eyes and white skin different from Egyptians, so she is revered as the daughter of the Nile!Moreover, after such a little girl from another world became the daughter of a god, her influence even surpassed that of Queen Isis who was in charge of the temple!

Next, the Hittite Empire (Taiwan translates to Bitaiduo) located on the Asia Minor peninsula disappeared in Egypt inexplicably because of Princess Midavan, who came to marry her. Actually secretly killed her - so in order to avenge the evil deeds of the Egyptians.The Hittite prince Izmi personally sneaked into Egypt and kidnapped the daughter of the Nile.

So, King Memphis of Egypt was so angry that he became a concubine, decisively launched a war, and snatched back his blond fiancee.

The following story repeats the reincarnation of the heroine Kairoll being lost or abducted again and again, and then Memphis sent troops to take back the daughter of the Nile again and again. During this period, poor Kairol Ms. Rolle experienced such things as being bitten by a poisonous snake, gnawed by a lion, swallowed by a crocodile, hacked, burned, dropped into the Dead Sea, aborted her children, sold as a slave... etc. Most people have already reincarnated N times Tragedy and suffering, but still survived the catastrophe, and continued to stand beside the Egyptian king Memphis, waving and smiling to the subjects who loved her.

In this brain-dead and fierce battle for the Daughter of the Nile, from Hittite to Assyria to Babylon to Minoa on the island of Crete, almost all the ancient civilizations ranked in the Middle East participated. foot.For this reason, the Egyptians first built a dam and flooded the city of Assyria, then set a fire to burn down the Babel Tower of Babylon, and also broke out conflicts with Minoa, the Mediterranean overlord of Crete... It can be seen that this Kyrol is really moving The scourge!
Moreover, Miss Carroll, who had a problem with Memphis, returned to the modern world several times as if she was super-expanded, and even met a wealthy Arabian rich man, who made him fall in love at first sight, and she would not marry unless she... Sigh, it really is Everyone loves Carol!

In addition, in fact, there are many places in this comic that are not in line with reality: In ancient Egypt, regardless of gender, men and women generally reached adulthood at the age of twelve or thirteen, which is similar to ancient China.Regardless of whether it is Memphis or Isis, one is 17 years old and the other is 20 years old. They are not married yet, they just have a marriage contract, which is really uncommon.Especially for Memphis, there is no woman in the backyard, it's so unreasonable!

It is good that Queen Isis is jealous as a woman, but she was also brought up by ancient traditions. She should understand that it is impossible for the king to have only her as a woman. How could she kill the princess of the Hittite Empire so impulsively? up?What a marriage partner!

In the end, Memphis, who has fought recklessly for the daughter of Nirol all the year round, is still respected by all the people in Upper and Lower Egypt.Such a waste of time and money has yielded very little - fought several wars, only captured a seaport city, but no one raised any objections!
——Well, in the world of shoujo manga, those princes and kings seem to be quite leisurely, ignoring government affairs from morning to night without causing trouble, and accompanying the heroine to leave the palace for a long time without fear of being usurped. Just remember to be courteous and romantic to the heroine all day long...

All in all, the wonderful world of "Daughter of the Nile" just borrowed the shell of ancient Middle Eastern civilization, and the thinking of the characters is so weird that it doesn't look like they were born in the ancient Western slavery society-of course, they are completely different from modern people.Especially in terms of politics, military and people's livelihood, they have been weakened to the point of almost non-existence.The main theme of the whole world seems to be love, and the only iron law that cannot be changed is "Everyone loves Carol"!If it was a dignitary from another country, would it be weird to think that "if you get the daughter of the Nile, you can get Egypt"? ! !
Well, anyway, it is the "idealized" ancient world in the romance comics of girls, so there is no need to complain too much about some minor things.

But on the other hand, this world is also a very suitable place for colonists from other worlds to emigrate. First of all, in this era, the entire Mediterranean world is still very empty, and there are places where homes can be resettled everywhere. Instances of building cities and establishing countries still abound in the next 1000 years, such as the establishment of Rome and Carthage.

Second, the millions of people in ancient Egypt and the accompanying trade routes allowed the newly arrived colonists to use commercial means to obtain the necessary manpower and materials from this country, as well as a market for selling manufactured goods, and to communicate with the rest of the civilized world. avenues for regional exchanges.If we can do the public relations work of the "modern compatriots" called Daughter of the Nile, and directly seek the recognition of the Egyptian royal family, then the situation will be even more ideal.

Third, in general, ancient Egypt was a relatively moderate civilization. Since it already occupied the most fertile land in the entire Mediterranean civilized world, the Egyptians had little motivation to expand and plunder.During the entire Old Kingdom and Middle Kingdom that lasted more than 1000 years, the Egyptian army never captured land outside the Nile River Basin on a large scale.Even in the relatively warlike New Kingdom period, the Egyptians only pointed their offensive spearheads at the Palestine region in Asia (called the "Land of Canaan" at the time), as well as Nubia on the upper reaches of the Nile River in the south, while attacking other countries and regions around them. The tribe basically turned a blind eye, and never had the idea of ​​encroaching on them... Therefore, it is more reassuring to make a home next to the ancient Egyptian kingdom.

More importantly, according to the "Book of Time Traveling", a new Chinese time traveler named "Zhang Daniu" has successfully lived here for three years!Although in these long three years, Mr. Zhang Daniu has never been able to get even a single reward point, but this does not prevent Wang Qiu and Doraemon from taking He is regarded as another bridge connecting the ancient Egyptian society.

However, after really traveling to the world of "Daughter of the Nile", Wang Qiu and Doraemon discovered an unexpected trouble:

Where is this Chinese traveler named "Zhang Daniu" hiding?
