From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

To determine whether the god Osiris has fallen, Erich has at least four or five possible or unfeasible methods.

The first is to observe various signs to judge the state of the gods.

Signs to watch include the well of sweet water in the walls of the temple of Osiris at Memphis, and the conditions of planting and harvesting in Upper and Lower Egypt following the flooding of great rivers.

As a result of observation, the well of sweet water dried up, and even when the great river ended its flooding, the well did not regain its vitality.

But the royal court of Memphis sealed off the Temple of Osiris, even the temple priests could not enter. The truth of this sweet water well was never known, and it was gradually forgotten by the common people in Lower Egypt.

As for the grain harvest in Upper and Lower Egypt, it is indeed showing a situation of ebb and flow——

Relying on the blessing of the key of life in Erich's hand, Upper Egypt grew a lot of temporary food.

Although these grains are marked as temporary, fast-growing, and disposable.But after all, they can make ends meet quickly, thus effectively eliminating the food crisis in Upper Egypt.

The situation in Lower Egypt was not optimistic. In each Nome, large tracts of land nourished by the fertile accumulation brought by the great river were abandoned due to lack of manpower.

The farmers almost went to the fields together, male, female, old and young, and there was no hope of a good harvest in the coming year—

However, the direct cause of this situation is that the pharaoh insisted on going his own way, recruiting servants everywhere to build his royal tomb, which does not directly indicate that there was a problem with the rich authority of Osiris.

In addition to observing these superficial signs related to the god Osiris, Elyse can also choose to visit the Temple of Osiris in Memphis for herself.

But last time she had already gone back through Solan the Favored One, and had a premonition of great danger when she tried to enter the Temple of Osiris.

For the sake of prudence, Erich didn't plan to go there in person, let alone send someone as reckless as Solan.

After Erich gave up the two options of observing the signs and going there in person, the only remaining method is divination.

Erich has two candidates for divination: Senmut and Sasha, the acting priest who was brought to Thebes by Pharaoh Delos from Lower Egypt—

After the latter witnessed the miracle in the Temple of Amon, he stayed in Thebes and became Senmut's assistant, always helping Senmut to teach the secular hieroglyphs to the upper Egyptians.

This matter is related to the mystery of the god Osiris, as well as the origin of the key of life in her hand.Therefore, Alixi did not go to Senmut for help at the first time, but to Sasha.

"You... you actually asked me to help with divination?"

Sasha blushed with excitement.

As soon as he was in Thebes, he witnessed the excellence of Senmut with his own eyes, and he admired the ability and character of the high priest.Therefore, he willingly followed Senmut.

But Erich came to him for help, and Sasha's vanity was greatly gratified—

Someone actually left the high priest Senmut unused and came to find him Sasha?This proves that he is still useful!

After listening to Erich's request, Sasha hurriedly took out the divination amulet that had not been used for a long time, and after sincerely praying to God Amon, he held a ceremony according to the method of divination and started divination.

He listened intently to the sound waves spreading in all directions from the fortune-telling shaped like a tuning fork, and finally came up with a result that made him feel at a loss——

"The god Osiris, who holds the power of the underworld and the abundance, has fallen and has not fallen!"

When saying this result, Sasha's face turned pale instantly, and he immediately remembered that he had given Pharaoh Delos such a plausible divination result.

What was Pharaoh's reaction at that time?

He looked at him with contempt, and made a final decision in his heart: No matter how hard this priest with humble background and no talent works, he will never be able to become such an amazing and talented person like Senmut.

Sasha suddenly felt nervous——

He was afraid that Alicia would look at him with this kind of eyes.

That is the complete proof that he is a complete waste.

Unexpectedly, Alicia was very surprised when she heard the result of the divination, but she thought about it for a while.

She repeated several times in her mouth: "I have fallen, but I have not fallen", and then looked at Sasha.

"The result of your divination is indeed beyond my expectation, and it may be because I know too little about the gods, so I can't interpret it. Sasha, it's not that I don't believe in the result of your divination. But I will ask Senmut Use the oracle method to divination again, I hope you don't mind."

Sasha stared blankly at Alicia, thinking: Of course he wouldn't mind.

At the beginning, Pharaoh just blindly suspected that he was not capable enough.But now the priest of God Amon trusted his divination results, and said bluntly, would you like to ask Senmut to use other methods to support Sasha's conclusion?

For a moment, Sasha didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, he just knew that he would never go back to Egypt, and never go to Pharaoh's side to serve as a priest.

Here, Alixi had no other choice, so she went directly to Senmut and told him straight to the point: "I suspect that the god Osiris has fallen, but I can't prove it. I would like to ask you to use the oracle method for divination."

"But I know that this kind of divination will be dangerous, and I don't know if you are willing to..."

The essence of the oracle method is to pray for the oracle of the gods, that is to say, whether or not an accurate result can be obtained depends on whether the gods are willing to tell the person who is doing the divination the answer.

But what Elyse asked for divination was whether a god has fallen or not—this must be a sensitive topic among the gods, and if the god is unwilling to tell the answer, it’s fine, in case it endangers the person who held the oracle... …

Senmut lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Have you already asked Sasha to use the amulet for divination? The result of the divination is very doubtful?"

If it wasn't for Erich who had already looked for Sasha, she would not have found Senmut again, and asked him to use the divination method by name.

Erich naturally told Senmut the results Sasha obtained with the divination amulet.

There was also a look of surprise in the golden eyes of the high priest. After thinking for a long time, he nodded decisively to Erich and said, "Okay, wait for me to prepare the ceremony, and do the divination as you said."

He promised so decisively, it seemed to him that the dangers he might encounter were not important, the only important thing was to meet Erich's request.Although he never asked why, Elyse needed to find out if Osiris fell.

While Senmut was divining with the oracle method, Erich was watching from the sidelines.She was always on high alert, ready to intervene at any moment.

Sensing any premonition of danger, she would destroy the altar, cutting Senmut from the gods he invoked.

Unexpectedly, until the end of the ceremony, Erich's premonition of danger did not appear.

But she saw Senmut stand up staggeringly, his face was pale, and a thin line of blood flowed from the corners of his eyes——

"Alich, I'm sorry—"

"The oracle I got was...unable to tell."

After saying this, Senmut staggered and almost fainted directly in front of Erich.

Alixi hurriedly supported Senmut, and stuffed a discharge for Senmut to replenish his energy.

Obviously, the high priest's weakness comes from spiritual exhaustion - praying for such an oracle is indeed not something that a casual Asut can do.

Erich compares the results of the two divinations of Sasha and Senmut in her mind at the same time: I can't tell, I have fallen, and I haven't fallen——

She suddenly got a little inspiration, and felt that the two divination results did not conflict, and the god Osiris was probably indeed in a state between fallen and unfallen.

But no matter how far Osiris fell, she intended to fulfill her promise to hand over the key of life to the goddess Isis.

It is not an easy task to transfer.After all, the key of life is a sacred object that can be used to lift curses and get rid of evil spirits. She must meet the god Isis and hand it over——

If it is placed on the ground of the temple casually, it may attract the wrath of the gods.

After setting up the weak Senmut, Erich went straight back to her residence, holding the key of life in her hand, logged into the Eye of Horus, and pointed to the temple that was adjusted to the goddess Isis.

Immediately her spirit body entered the Temple of Isis in Heliopolis.

At this moment, there was no one in the Temple of Isis, and none of the priests who were in charge of daily sacrifices in front of the altar of the goddess were gone.

Therefore, Erich had the opportunity to come to the statue of the goddess alone, and admire this, the most important image of the goddess in Egypt.

The goddess in charge of love and protection is the title of Isis, and the first amulet that Erich used when she came to this book world, the power in it came from Isis.

That kind of gentle protective power left a deep impression on Erich.Therefore, she always thought that Isis would also show the image of love and tenderness.

This is indeed the case. The statue of Isis in front of me is a sitting statue, and Isis is in the form of a young woman, holding a baby in her arms——

Erich knew that this was a picture of Isis feeding her and Osiris' son Horus.

In Egyptian mythology, after Seth murdered Osiris, Isis hid alone in the swamp and reeds of the lower reaches of the Nile River. After many hardships, he and Osiris' son Horus was conceived and raised.

Therefore, the goddess Isis is known as the greatest mother among the Egyptian gods.

Isis in front of him has kind facial features, benevolent brows and kind eyes, and his figure is exquisite and curvy. The gentle and graceful feminine beauty is revealed unintentionally.

Her gesture of embracing the young Horus, for some reason, reminded Erich for a moment of Senmut holding O'Neill.

The crown worn on the head of the goddess statue in front of her is in the form of a throne—she is the wife of Osiris, the mother of Horus, and her husband and son are both pharaohs.Therefore, Isis is qualified to wear the throne on his head.

But now is not the time for her to observe blindly and match the details in front of her with the fairy tales one by one——

Erich knew very well that she was now in Heliopolis, a city that was the stronghold of the Nine Pillars and the worship center of the sun god Ra.

Although God Ra has never shown any particular malice towards her on any occasion, he never treats her particularly well.

Erich's original plan was to exchange the key of life to the goddess Isis as soon as possible, and then evacuate as soon as possible——

So she bowed her head in front of the statue of Isis and recited devoutly the name of the goddess she asked from Senmut: "Pharaoh's wife, mother of Pharaoh, symbol of love and protection, sustenance of life and beauty, great Isis Goddess Si, Elyse, a priest who believes in God Amon, was entrusted by God Osiris to deliver the key of life to you."

Although praying in a spirit body, Erich heard her voice echoing in the empty temple.

But she didn't get any response.

Isis did not appear before her eyes.

Holding the holy object in her hand, Alicia couldn't help but feel uneasy, thinking: This task of returning the key of life, why is it so difficult for her to complete it once she wants to complete it?

Suddenly, Alicia's heart moved, and she suddenly thought of another possibility.

She immediately logged out of the Eye of Horus, left her residence, and went to Priest Felin's house.

At this time, it was getting late, and Felin didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran out barefoot to meet Elyse.Alicia smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't come to find you—"

She had come to see Mushana.

At this time, Mushana was cooking for Feilin, and she came out of the kitchen in a smoky manner.

Her hair was covered with flour, and the linen dress on her body was covered with oil stains. With a blushing face, she came straight to Elyse, calling happily: "Master Elyse——"

"Are you asking, is there any place in Upper Egypt dedicated to the temple of the goddess Isis?"

When Muzana heard Alicia's question clearly, the young woman from a wealthy Thebes family couldn't help repeating it.

I heard Feilin interjected from the side: "There are temples of Isis built in various parts of Upper and Lower Egypt. But he is one of the nine pillar gods, and his worship center must be in Heliopolis!"

Before Feilin finished speaking, Mushana gave him a blank look and raised her head triumphantly: "You men don't understand this."

She pulled Ai Lixi into her boudoir, and whispered to Ai Lixi: "Master Priest, that is, you happened to ask me..."

"This is our Upper Egypt, a secret passed down from generation to generation only from woman to woman!"

"The true center of worship of the great goddess Isis is in..."

Alicia!

It turned out that her guess was true.

It turns out that the gods can also cunning rabbits and three caves.
