Pharaoh is coming?

The pharaoh came all the way to Thebes, and he turned out to be specially for the abolished concubine?

But why, the first princess who was about to be abolished didn't feel sad or sad, but sat in a corner of the meeting room, showing a confident smile?

For a while, the elders who were sitting in the meeting hall discussing matters, the clerk who was sitting aside to record, and other civilians representing Thebes, and the representatives who were sitting on the sidelines together with Elyse, all showed shock or bewilderment. solution expression.

Alicia smiled warmly and said, "Without the title of first princess, can I concentrate on serving the gods and be my envoy of Amon?"

Everyone thought: Yes!

If the God Envoy doesn’t have to entangle with the Pharaoh anymore, and doesn’t have to be that unlucky first princess, wouldn’t he be able to stay in Thebes and assist the gods to protect the city?

As soon as they figured this out, everyone in the meeting hall smiled, and didn't care about the sudden appearance of the pharaoh from Egypt.

They have not realized that the great battle to defend Thebes and the miracle witnessed by the people at the end of the war have established an extremely close relationship between the people of Thebes and Elyse. the bond.They took it for granted that Elyse was a Thebes.

The first princess of Lower Egypt, if you don't do it, you don't do it.

"Okay, let's not discuss the pharaohs in Lower Egypt, let's continue talking about the elementary school."

Priest Feilin spoke, pulling people's minds back from digressing.

"If the effect is good, we can extend this initiative from Thebes to other Nomes in Upper Egypt. In this way, within ten years, we can harvest a large number of talents that Upper Egypt needs."

The core focus of the discussion is still the secular hieroglyphs.

This disagreement caused the people of Thebes to vaguely form two factions: the vested interest faction represented by priests and nobles, some of whom mastered special items and sacrificial methods passed down from generation to generation, and were able to read monk-style hieroglyphs;

The rest of them are illiterate, with black eyes, and these people are from all walks of life in Thebes.

In fact, the current relationship between the two factions in Thebes has been quite tense, and this tension was undercurrent when Plato was monopolized.But during the great battle to defend Thebes, the relationship between the two sides eased.

But after the battle, the relationship is strained again—

This is because Plato's body was later found from the prison in the Temple of Karnak, along with Alba and Roach completely insane.

Once a person is dead, the truth can no longer be told.

But according to the words of the guards and Plato's cronies.During that time, no one entered the temple dungeon and saw Plato.

Plato's death was so terrible and disgusting that he couldn't even be mummified, so he had to burn it with a fire.

The Thebes can only think that this is the punishment from the gods.

It was Plato's evil deeds that brought disaster to Thebes.

Those who spoke for Plato earlier and helped him spread rumors drew a clear line with the former priests, saying that they were only deceived by others and acted according to orders.

Coupled with the fact that Filin, Ailixi and others did not hesitate to throw the pot away, Plato finally became the target of public criticism.

Therefore, the priest class also suffered a lot of criticism, and many people accused them of collusion and mutual protection.

The matter of Plato has not been completely settled, and now the confrontation between the two sides has been created in words——

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the chamber was quite tense.

Ferlin couldn't help but glanced at Ai Lixi, but saw that Ai Lixi didn't have any unnecessary emotional fluctuations on her face. It seemed that the differences in the meeting hall had always been in her expectation.

Even Alixie nodded slightly to Ferrin, as if saying: "Let's vote!" She seemed to only care about the result of the vote.

Filling took a deep breath immediately, stood up, and said to everyone in the meeting room: "Everyone, before voting on the motion to build a primary school, please allow me to say a few words first."

"I just heard that the Pharaoh of Lower Egypt is about to arrive in Thebes, and I couldn't help but feel touched."

"In the early years, when the pharaoh was a god walking in the world and had absolute power, all the officials, priests, priests, priests, nobles...all of Egypt's 42 nomes were appointed by the pharaoh."

"At that time, our native Thebes, like other Nomes, had no jurisdiction over our own land, our own city, and we had no so-called nobles and priests-at that time, we were all the same, we They're all Thebes—"

All of a sudden, the meeting hall became very quiet, and everyone was listening intently to Feilin's words.

"After that, the people of Thebes gradually began to govern their own city, but separated priests and nobles... and others."

When Feilin talked about other people, there was a burst of light laughter in the meeting hall.It is known that in the time of Plato the Thebans distinguished themselves from one another in this way.

"However, after recent events, we have also seen that the solar ship may be attacked, and alien beasts can invade our city at any time. No crisis is impossible."

"Maybe tomorrow the pharaoh will unify upper and lower Egypt, order officials to be stationed, and nobles to be conferred. Those of us will be nothing—"

Everyone knows that Filin is making a metaphor. It is absolutely impossible for Pharaoh to unify Upper and Lower Egypt tomorrow.

But what he said was clear.

"So I appeal to all the elders to think about it before voting—"

"In my opinion, when it comes to major events such as building a school that have an extremely important impact on the future, we have no distinction—we are all Thebes, and we are only Thebes."

When Fei Lin said this, the other elders and other spectators who were sitting in the conference hall and listening, all stood up and gave Fei Lin warm applause.They almost all shouted, "Thebes, we are Thebes!"

However, Feilin stretched out his hand, pressed it down, made a very sly expression, and gently placed his right index finger on his lips, and hissed.

"There is one more thing that everyone needs to know about this secular script."

Film seems to be telling everyone an important secret.

"The person who created this kind of writing is the priest of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the high priest of Egypt, Mr. Senmuth, as long as you have seen him and know him, you will understand--that is an amazing talent character."

"Are you willing not to learn the simple and fast writing he created?"

The priests and nobles who had repeatedly expressed their opposition to the popularization of writing were suddenly taken aback.

"Those words are really handy, folks, don't you guys get tired of needing amulets and rituals to read letters?"

The priest and the nobles looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Although they were able to read hieroglyphs in monk script, they also had myriad constraints.

At this moment, I heard that there is no threshold for reading the secular script created by Senmut. How can they not be moved?

The rest of the people all let out a burst of good-natured laughter.

Soon the voting began, and Filming voted very strongly for the secular script.

When he raised his hand high, his eyes turned to Alicia who was sitting on the side, and he also saw Alicia looking at him with burning eyes.

"What I want is -- fairness for everyone."

"But it takes a certain skill to fight for it."

Ferrin's eyes seemed to want to confirm to Erich that what he did was right and whether it was enough.

Erich's eyes are quite sure——

"Yes, you did."

"I didn't see you wrong."

The news that the pharaoh from Egypt was about to arrive in Thebes spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout the city.

The people of Thebes were unconcerned about the pharaoh's arrival.But every day, someone intercepted Elyse on the way from the Karnak Temple to the hotel.

"My lord, even if Pharaoh comes to pick you up, don't just follow him—"

"You stay in Thebes!"

People begged earnestly.In their view, with the presence of the God of Amon, the prosperity and order of the city will be more guaranteed.

Alixi is very clear about their psychology, and knows that they have regarded themselves as the backbone, but this kind of emotion is more like dependence or reliance, and it has not reached the level of respect, surrender or even belief.

So Alicia only responded calmly: "We will see the situation then."

She never gave an accurate answer, and the people of Thebes became more and more reluctant to her.Correspondingly, their attitude towards the pharaoh's guard of honor who arrived in Thebes became worse.

The guard of honor of the royal ship of Tylos went all the way south, and he was not less angry.

When the various nomes on the way provided supplies with a stingy attitude, they still wanted to pay tribute to Erich from afar.

"It's all for the sake of the first princess—"

"I heard that the parents and adults of the first princess are accompanying this time. We are paying our respects to the two old people."

Tylos suddenly fell back in anger.

Although Upper Egypt has a long history of disobedience to the kingship, and its obedience and injustice, but with such blatant favoritism, Delos, as the king, really can't hold back his face.

So he couldn't help but chanted about Ailixi for a while, and at the same time, he was calculating when the person sent to Tanis to pick up Biola would be sent.

When the king's ship sailed into the port of Thebes, Delos saw with his own eyes the huge fence that had been destroyed by Apep before. He was surprised, but also understood one thing: it was because these obstacles were destroyed.Otherwise, his kingship might even be blocked directly outside the city of Thebes.

There were also very few people who came to the pier to greet them.

When Tylos got off the king's ship, he saw Gregor, his former royal navigator. This navigator always raised his head when he walked, and showed a neither humble nor haughty attitude when he saluted in front of the pharaoh, which was different from the previous one. The low-level officials who are always trembling seem to be different.

When the pharaoh's feet touched the ground of Thebes, a mocking voice with a strong Upper Egyptian accent came from his ears: "Hey, isn't this the Pharaoh of Lower Egypt?"

"It turns out that the Pharaoh's royal ship can only enter the port so honestly. I thought it would fly directly into the port with a whoosh like the day the first princess arrived..."

Delos looked serious and seemed deaf to this.

But there seemed to be a thorn in his heart-he knew that the high priest Senmut was on the woman's boat at that time.

Delos believes that with Senmut's ability, it is not impossible to create illusions such as flying boats, but the question is-why.

His princess is vain and stupid, why would Senmut help her like this, and even spared no effort to help her win the hearts and minds of Upper Egypt.

In Delos' heart, Erich could do nothing, and it must be the result of the help of Senmut and others to win today's situation in Thebes and Upper Egypt.

For a moment, Tylos put aside his distracting thoughts, boarded the king's ceremonial sedan chair, and walked to the hotel.

Along the way, he naturally wanted to compare Thebes with Memphis, and he came to the conclusion that this is not as good as that.

But after thinking about it, how long has Erich Bis been?It is indeed unfair for him to compare Memphis, which has been run by the previous generation for decades, with Thebes.

When we arrived at the hotel, no one came out to greet him.After the pharaoh's royal guard went in to inquire, he came out with an ugly face and reported: "Princess...is not in the hotel."

The captain of the guard looked at Tylos's face that was somber as soon as he said it, and hurriedly added: "But the little princess is here, why don't you go and see first..."

He always thinks of Delos, who is a new father, and it is always human to meet his first child.

Delos snorted coldly, and slowly stepped out of the sedan chair with a straight face.

But he was nervous in his heart. After all, it was the first child, the first... the child whose blood flowed through his body. Although it was a girl, the meaning was different after all.

So Delos pretended to be reserved, and walked slowly into the hotel.

There was really no one in the hotel, as if Erich didn't know that Delos would arrive in Thebes today.

The captain of the guard looked embarrassed, and carefully led Delos into the hotel.

Delos was walking in the silence, when he suddenly heard a clear young man's voice, humming a song in a low voice.

Delos followed the singing, turned a corner, and saw the high priest Senmut holding a small baby in his arms.He held it so carefully, as if he was holding a rare treasure.

Seeing Delos come in, Senmut not only did not salute immediately.Instead, he reached out and gestured to the pharaoh and the captain of the guard who followed behind, signaling not to disturb the little princess's sleep.

Then he put the little baby in a basket made of papyrus, and after repeatedly confirming that the little guy was indeed asleep, he tiptoed out of the room and saluted Pharaoh Delos calmly.

"Senmut has seen my king."

Delos stared at the high priest standing in front of him at this moment, unable to speak for a while.

When he stepped into the quiet room just now, he had only one reaction in his heart: Senmut is like the biological father of the little princess.

Sen Mut is like a real father!

As a passer-by, did he come here to humiliate himself?
