From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

When Ailixi first heard Ferlin talk about the problem with the selection of the temple, she had already made a rough judgment in her heart——

There is absolutely a problem.

From the perspective of probability, it is absolutely impossible for the results to be the same for several consecutive years, even the order is exactly the same.

That is to say, someone has tampered with it.

Of course, there are two kinds of tricks: ordinary people use tricks to make tricks, or Asut uses spells to change the results.

Erich leans towards the former: after all, this is the temple of God Amon, and as far as we know, she is the only one favored by God Amon.

Asut of other gods usually would not intervene in the internal affairs of Amon believers, and it was even more impossible to risk the world's dissatisfaction and intervene in other people's temples.

That's why she invited Karam, the Blessed One of the God of Craftsman, to come here to watch, to judge whether there is a mechanism in the tall Amon statue.

After Karam told Elyse the preliminary result of the possibility of no human influence, it reminded Elyse of a past event:

Pharaoh Delos always complained that Upper Egypt was sometimes called Pharaoh, but nothing was called Delos, and he always gave flashy gifts.

And avoid sending important materials such as grain and ore to Memphis.Once, Thebes once gave a Nubian dwarf to Tylos, and raised it in the royal court of Memphis as a jester to entertain everyone at banquets.

Her predecessor had never paid much attention to such things, so Erich herself had no idea what happened to that clown afterwards.

But Feilin also mentioned last night that in its heyday, Thebes once conquered the Nubian tribe in the upper reaches of the river, and captured some small dwarfs.

So Alixi turned her head to Karam: "Can Hansu get in between the chest and abdomen of the statue of Amon?"

Kalam was stunned for a moment, looked at it, shook his head, and said, "No, you have to be a child younger than Hunsu."

This means that it is feasible for the dwarf to enter the idol.

"Understood, thank you." Alicia thanked Karam, indicating that she is fine here.

The natives of Thebes had heard the introduction earlier and knew that Karam was a craftsman.

Seeing the interaction between Alicia and Karam at this moment, Ferring suddenly showed a look of frustration and disappointment. The rest of the priests, except for the first priest Platu who remained calm and calm, smiled.

Just when Plato was about to get up to announce the beginning of the ceremony, Elyse clapped her hands and took away Plato's words: "Okay, let's start! Everyone, please put the ball representing you in the disc. "

What Platu wanted to say was said first, and under the astonishment, a little anger grew in his heart.However, the other party is the envoy of God Amon, so she should preside over this occasion.

But Plato didn't know that Erich was repeating the old trick she used in Memphis, stealing her father's words from the great priest Dahor, and destroying his prestige——

Plato and Dahoor have similar temperaments, and Erich also handles them in exactly the same way, handy.

All of a sudden, the clergy who had the qualifications to be elected stepped forward one after another, and placed the balls painted with symbols representing them on the disc with a diameter of about three cubits.There are several semicircular depressions on this disc, and the bottom of the depressions is a hole.

At that time, the right hand of the idol will extend its index finger from the hole below to push up these balls.The raised ball means that its owner has been chosen.

When putting the ball into the disc, the first priest Plato played tricks and stayed by the disc to watch——

He was always afraid that someone would drop his bag and replace the ball he had.Such examples are not unheard of in the history of Thebes.

By the time everyone puts the ball in, all the depressions in the disc have been filled.Plato was satisfied with this, and was just about to call the attendants in the temple to place the disc in its proper place, when suddenly Erich said with a smile: "For the sake of fairness, I will change a few discs at will. Do you not object to the position of the ball?"

Plato thought: Change, you can change!

If the result changes because of this, then I lose.

This thought did not change his expression in the slightest.The first priest was very calm beside Alicia and said: "No problem."

So Alixi stretched out her slender hand, changed a few at random, and then took another look at herself, memorizing the orientation of all the balls, and finally recruited several priests to witness that all the balls were patterned upwards .

Immediately afterwards, the discs were carried together by four attendants, sent to the statue of Amon, and placed on the shelf prepared in advance.

Then it was time for the clergy to perform: acolytes poured from the corners of the temple and began to play music.Including Plato and Ferin, all the priests who were eligible to be elected chanted the honorable name of God Amon in unison with the music.

"The great being who watched the fate of Thebes, the god of glory who brought light and order to the people, the great god Amon who guarded Egypt in the long river of time, we obey your will, follow your guidance, and pray Your blessing."

Hearing this esteemed title, Alixi didn't know what to think.

She actually realized that she was quite talented. The honorable name she created for God Amon back then was "The watcher of all destiny, the symbol of light and order, the guardian of life and dignity, the guardian of time, Amon" , It is almost the same as the one used by the priests of Thebes now, very similar.

I don't know if it's a pure coincidence, or because her original idea was too versatile, and she got such a result.

People praised the honorable name of God Amon three times in a row, and then they all knelt down in the temple and worshiped the statue of God Amon.

Alicia didn't move at all, just sat upright.Her attitude is certainly unpleasant, but others can't do anything about her.

After a while, the time for the selection of the temple finally arrived.For a while, everyone stopped talking, and the entire temple was silent.

At this moment, a creaking noise suddenly sounded, as if a tool that had not been used for a long time was suddenly used one day, or as if a wooden door that had never been opened was finally pushed open——

The huge statue of Amon suddenly started to move.

It has joints all over its body and limbs.But at this moment, only a few joints such as the right shoulder, right elbow, right wrist, and right index finger can move.

In the temple, including the candidate priests, all the people who came to watch the ceremony bowed their bodies and worshiped the statue of Amon.For a moment, the hall was filled with a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

Erich had already expected this, she sat on the high-backed chair, not only did she not get up, even the two maids, Nanna and Urania, standing beside her were like sculptures, motionless, and did not move at all. It means to be honored by God.

The first priest, Plato, pursed his lips, with an imperceptible smile on his lips, as if to say: For a person like you who doesn't like oil and salt, the temple has already figured out a way to deal with it.

At this moment, the neck of the statue of Amon suddenly started to move.The joints around its neck creaked loudly, startling everyone in the temple to raise their heads and look in the direction of the statue; they all came to their senses in an instant and lowered their heads again.

God Amon's head just turned to the direction where Erich was.Erich happened to see the pair of obsidian-carved eyes of the idol, and the carefully carved gem surface reflected a strange light, as if the majesty and wrath were revealing in the eyes of the idol.

Alicia suddenly coughed lightly, supported the hands of Nanna and Urania beside her, and stood up slowly—as if she was frightened by the anger of the statue of Amon.

The muscles near Plato's jaw, who was kneeling not far from Erich, suddenly twitched, as if the first priest smiled triumphantly at himself where no one saw him.

Erich stood up, but not to pay respect to the statue of Amon.The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile, and at the same time she stretched out her hands, thinking silently in her heart——

Immediately, there seemed to be some slight changes in the joints of the right arm of the idol and the elbow.But this change is not something ordinary people can see clearly.

"Crunch, crunch—"

"Truly—"

The right index finger of the statue of Amon pushed upwards, and immediately raised a ball.

"Dang--"

The ball rolled out of the disc along the pre-designed inclined slideway, and fell into a silver basin placed under the disc earlier, making a crisp sound.

Even the most pious person can't help but raise his head curiously at this moment, wondering whether the first ball that fell, that is, the first priest chosen by the gods, is still the same as in previous years, and it is still made by Pula. Figure is in charge.

Instead, there is only Plato himself, who has no interest in it.He just bowed down to the ground politely, waiting for the pre-arranged attendants in the temple to lift the ball in the silver basin high.Then he worshiped the god again, thanking the god for his gift and trust.

The attendants in front of the god are a pair of twin boys. They jointly took out the ball from the silver basin, held it up high, and showed the patterned side to the people.

Hearing a neat hey sound from the whole temple, everyone seemed to find it inconceivable.

Plato knew something was wrong, so he quickly raised his head and found that the ball held up by the attendant in front of the god did not have a symbol drawn on it of his family pattern—this pattern belonged to the third priest Roach.

The fire in Plato's heart sprang up——

He immediately remembered the instructions to Roach last night, and Roach's understated response at that time.

The guy himself promised that everything would go according to plan.

Plato instantly felt the feeling of being stabbed in the back by his allies for many years.

His eyes were like knives, and he looked at Roach who was kneeling in front of him.

However, Roach turned his head and looked back at the boss with embarrassment, shrugged his shoulders quietly, showing an innocent expression, as if to say: I don't know what's going on, I really didn't do it.

"Forget it—"

Plato looked back angrily.He guessed that this was Luo Qi who had lived under the people for many years, and he couldn't hold back anymore.So I want to have the addiction of the first priest.That's how it was arranged.

He and Alba should retreat to the positions of the second priest and the third priest, right?

Plato believed in Roach, of course this guy would be vain for a while.But not stupid enough to push the other two allies out of the three-person council.

If something like this happens, with Roach's naive political skills, his own family's interests in Thebes will definitely be difficult to preserve.

Therefore, although Plato's chest was heaving with anger, he still had no choice but to swallow back the curse that was about to rush out.

Bastard Roach, I will settle accounts with you after the selection of the temple is over - Plato thought so.

"Dang--"

The second sound sounded, and the servants in front of the god held up the second ball selected by the statue of Amon in their hands and showed it to the people.

"This symbol..."

"It's Feilin, it turned out to be Feilin...it's the son of the first priest more than ten years ago, Feilin!"

"The gods actually picked him?"

"This year's temple selection has changed a lot!"

There were whispers from all over the temple.And Plato's face was flushed at this moment—for the first time, he felt that in this temple, on his own territory, he was out of order.

At this moment, Roach and Alba were flustered and terrified, they quickly turned around, and cast their eyes on Plato as if they were asking for help.

And Plato raised his head, looking at the statue of Amon standing at the end of the temple with extremely vicious eyes.

He knew that there was no other possibility—the mechanism in the statue of Amon had been tampered with.

Felin lay on the cold stone floor of the Temple of Amon, his breathing seemed to have stopped.

At the moment when the servant in front of the god held up the ball with his family logo painted on it, Ferlin could no longer see or hear anything else, and the world seemed to stand still from then on.

After this sudden gratification and the satisfaction he had been waiting for for many years, Ferlin suddenly felt a heavy pressure, as if the whole of Thebes was on his shoulders at this moment.

Under this kind of pressure, Feilin raised his head vigorously and looked towards the side of the main hall reserved for women.

There, he saw Mushana's lovely face first, and his wife was flushed, and she was so excited that she was about to cry.

Immediately afterwards, Ferlin met the envoy's deep and quiet black eyes.

He couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with the Angel of Amon last night——

The other party asked him: "Filin, what do you want?"

What did he answer?

"I want fairness, I want order to reappear in Thebes—"

He had seen enough of powerful people misappropriating the name of God to act recklessly, and he was looking forward to taking that position, not to become those people he despised, but to usher in earth-shaking changes in Thebes.

What did the angel answer?

"Fillin—"

"If you want fairness, I will give you fairness!"

"True fairness."
