From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Thebes, in the Temple of Karnak.

Once the first two results of the three-member council were announced, the entire Temple of Amon seemed to be stunned.

After getting used to the results of the election of the three major priests of the council, this year, people struggled to understand the result——

The gods actually pushed Roach, who was the most inconspicuous of the three-member council in the past, to the front.Then, the fourth priest, Feilin, who was not very well known, was promoted to the council.

So far, the previous situation where the three priests monopolized the council has been completely broken.

This is God's will - no one will doubt it, because they watched the huge statue of Amon crunching with their own eyes, pushing out the ball representing Roach and Ferrin with their right index finger.

Thinking of the upcoming changes, some of the nearly [-] Thebes gathered in the Temple of Amon felt inexplicably excited, while others realized that there might be a potential crisis and became nervous.

"Don't worry, there's a third—"

The original first priest Plato told himself.

This election is not over yet, and the idol will choose another ball from the huge disc, which means that there is one more person who will join the three-person council.

If God Amon's third choice is Platu or Alba, then even if Ferin becomes the second priest, his position in the three-person council will be immediately marginalized.

Even though this young man was full of motivation for reform, he couldn't make it work and couldn't make things happen.

At this moment, Plato was so nervous that his palms were sweating, he raised his head to look at the huge statue of Amon, and said in his heart: Be sure to see, be sure to see!It must be me, it must be me!

Ailixi was not far from Platu, she could almost guess what the original first priest was thinking, and following his eyes, she could also see clearly what the other party was looking forward to.

To put it bluntly, this is a very simple mechanism.

Someone stayed in the statue of Amon, manipulating the mechanism to push up the pre-designated balls.

Because people staying in the statue can observe the situation in the disc.Therefore, no matter what random adjustments are made in advance, the statue of Amon can accurately push out the pre-designated balls.

But with Alixie, the situation is different.

She just cast a little spell to twist the joints of the statue of Amon a little bit, and the direction the statue's fingers pointed would change.

In addition, she was born with an outstanding memory, and she knew better than anyone else where the key balls were placed on the discs she placed.

Therefore, even though there are people from Plato in the statue, as long as he dare not get out of the statue and do it himself, but has to rely on various agencies to manipulate the statue-then the only thing that can be obtained in the end is what Erich wanted. the result of.

But after she was sure of winning, she didn't put Ferlin, whom she had already fallen in love with, as the first priest. Instead, she pushed the original third priest, Luo Qi, the younger brother of the three-person council, to the highest position.

This is a simple trick to stir up trouble in the original three-member council.

In addition, the third priest seems to be mediocre and unworthy of virtue. Having him as the head of the new three-person council will also reduce the difficulty of future reforms.

If she chooses to elect Feilin to be the first priest, this young man will certainly feel honored.

But putting this young man with no experience in governance in such a position, and facing the anger of Plato and others, is tantamount to setting Filin on fire.

Ferrin was her first helper in Thebes.The man had his faults, of course, and at times, in Erich's opinion, the young man was less intelligent and aggressive than his wife, Muzana.In addition, he is in a special class and lacks understanding of people from other classes.

But the passion and ambition in this young man's chest are indeed very sincere, which moved Alicia very much.So she made a decision to help Feilin.

In case she gets it wrong and this young man is not worth a gang, that's okay.

Anyway, the three-member council elected today will only be a transitional body.

"Dang--"

While everyone was thinking about it, the third ball fell into the silver basin with a clear and crisp sound.

The attendant in front of the god picked up the ball, and the patterned side faced the waiting Thebes in the temple.

But this time, the candidate represented by the ball was not immediately recognized.

"This is……"

People struggled to identify the pattern on the ball, which was a strangely shaped key.

"no such person--"

The former first priest Platu stood up, waved his hands and said loudly.

Plato has served as the first priest for many years. He has carefully studied every family in Thebes that is eligible to join the council, and he knows everything about it.But even he had never seen this symbol.

"It is impossible for the gods to give such an oracle, and it is impossible to choose a person who does not exist-something must be wrong."

Plato was secretly happy. He was hesitant to try to overturn the results of the temple's election. This move may bring backlash and make people doubt the election results of previous years.Now there is no such worry.

Therefore, he stood up straight in the temple like a chicken out of the crowd, and said loudly what he had been holding back for a long time: "Re-election——"

Unexpectedly, a clear voice sounded in the Temple of Amon: "Who said there is no such person? I am."

The voice came from Elise's side.

People were surprised to see that the brown-haired and golden-eyed Senmut slowly turned out and came to the attendant in front of the god. He stretched out his hand to take the ball, looked at it, held it high in the air, and said loudly: "This is the foundation of knowledge and wisdom." The great sign of God Tut, people who walk thousands of times in this world, please use this key to open the door of knowledge!"

At this moment, a golden light flashed in front of everyone's eyes.

Senmut seems to have manifested a huge golden key in this temple of Amon, spreading to all directions of the temple.This scene shocked everyone and made them all feel convinced.

But this emotion only lasted for a moment, and after a while, everyone in the temple let out a cry of surprise.

Plato was even more excited, and raised his hands and said loudly: "This is even more wrong. The great god Amon, why didn't he elect his own followers to manage Thebes, and insisted on electing a priest of God Tut to join the three Council."

"Everyone, do you really think this election result is reasonable?"

He spoke out the aspirations of many people, so many people who had worshiped in the temple stood up with Plato at this moment.

Most of those who got up had interests in Plato.On the contrary, Luo Qi, who had just been elected as the first priest, had a gloomy face at the moment.He was not so happy about the boss' opposition to the election results.

"Of course it makes sense—"

A female voice sounded.

Her voice was not loud, but everyone in the temple heard it clearly, and some even felt a rumbling echo in their ears. Every word she said seemed to be knocked on their own hearts.

That's when Alicia spoke up.

"Why don't you reflect on why the gods appointed the priest, the god of knowledge and wisdom, to join the three-person council in Thebes?"

She used some skills when she spoke, and the people of Thebes had already established their belief in the god Amon.

Therefore, they immediately preconceived that the result of today's election was the will of God Amon, and then began to think about the question raised by Elysian—why, why?

"Oh, of course it's because of passing, dividing, ignorance, knowing—"

Alicia has the answer.

"For so many years the people of Thebes have shut themselves up in this city, and even though the other Nome, and all of Egypt, has changed rapidly - technology has begun to innovate, and the gods are giving people new knowledge and abilities, you are only Knowing to lock himself up in Thebes, playing this lowly game year after year!"

All the people in Thebes present thought that the trick Eilish mentioned meant that the gods who did not accept other gods closed their doors and elected a three-person council to manage Thebes.

Only Plato understood the implication: what a dirty trick!This unsavory trick is to hide the dwarf in the statue, pull the trigger, and choose whoever you want——

Right now, the dwarf is still inside the statue. If the envoy wants to investigate, he can show everyone the evidence on the spot.

Plato hesitated and retracted his head.

He expected that the envoy would not be willing or dare to expose this as a scam in front of so many people, which would undoubtedly damage the believers' pious belief in God Amon.

Since this is a situation that neither side wants to see, it means that there is still room for relaxation in the future.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the former second priest Alba failed to hear Erich's implication, and said loudly angrily: "This priest of God Tut is also the high priest of Lower Egypt, who holds the official position of Pharaoh. Bar!"

The people of Thebes have always refused to obey the control of the Pharaoh of Lower Egypt, and firmly believed that there would be a Pharaoh from Upper Egypt who would lead the people of Upper Egypt to unify the country.

Therefore, Alba specifically came here to provoke trouble, using Pharaoh's appointment of Senmut to provoke Thebes' resentment towards the high priest.

Ai Lixi flattened her mouth on the spot: "Then I am still the first princess of Lower Egypt, and am I still the envoy of God Amon?"

This rebuttal stunned everyone in Thebes—God Amon obviously favored their city, but he chose Pharaoh's first wife as his envoy... The will of the gods is really unpredictable.And they mortals naturally have no right to object.

"In the eyes of the gods, there is no distinction between upper and lower Egypt." Senmut finally spoke again.

His voice was like spring water, flowing gently into the hearts of everyone in the temple, quickly nourishing their hearts, and quickly convinced everyone's little doubt hidden in their hearts.

"This time I come to Thebes under the will of God Tut. I wish to share knowledge with you without reservation, and I am willing to do my best to guide this city with the wisdom bestowed by God."

"It's my honor to be included in the council of Thebes..." His words, combined with his handsome appearance and his peculiar golden eyes, made many people in the temple stare dumbfounded. Suddenly, he couldn't remember what they were gathering in this temple for. He just felt that the person in front of him was very sincere and upright. Everything he said was trustworthy.

Ai Lixi was on the side, but she could only sigh in her heart: This is the personality gap!

If someone compares the effect of Senmut's speaking with Eilish's, Eilish's words will seem too domineering, forcing others to believe, instead of being able to sneak into every corner of the heart like Senmut, Moisturizing things silently changes the minds of most people here.

Really, with the High Priest by his side, I found a reason to remind myself to work hard for promotion.

"that's it!"

As the envoy of God Amon, Erich directly announced the result of the election.

"The ones who have been elected, please come to my residence tomorrow. I will have an oracle to announce to them."

After she finished speaking, she stood up, supported by Nanna and Urania on the left and right, and walked out slowly with her head held high.

At this moment in the Temple of Amon, Ferin couldn't believe the result: he was already the second priest, and he had already entered the three-person council in Thebes?

While in a daze, Feilin felt a weight on his neck. It turned out that Mushana was so excited that she had already rushed over and happily hooked her husband's neck.

And the three members of the previous council group, the first, second and third priests, are slowly getting up at this moment, gathering together, Plato and Alba, looking at the current first priest Roach without saying a word .

Luo Qi stroked the short hair on his head with his hands in embarrassment, and didn't know what to say for a while.
