From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Immediately, Alixi felt that this incident also caused a small disturbance in the heart of the favored Jangalai.

The young favored person really wavered a little in a short period of time: "Could it be that even the gods will deceive me?"

But Jangale immediately had an idea. Looking at the mother and child with stiff postures and blank expressions, he felt that the appearance was almost like that of a mummy not wrapped in linen.

It looks the same as the other two guards who accompanied Delos!

It should not be the mother and child that day, but a substitute hired by Pharaoh.

The gods should keep their promises and have already arranged for the mother and child.

Zangalai made a judgment in his heart, but he didn't know that he looked similar to the two guards following Delos, and even Delos, who was as pale as a dead man.

Erich, who could feel Jangalai's heart, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Have the courage to dare to question the gods, but also be able to make a clear and calm judgment-yes, this is exactly the favored person she wants.

At this time, Tylos spoke: "This is the mother and child that the king took away from the women's team last time."

"They were in terrific pain when they left, but you, those who witnessed all this, and those who spread the word behind their backs... all feel that the king is unreasonable and has no mercy on the common people. The king's heart is made of stone, and the divine blood flowing in the king's body is also cold. of……"

The peasants who were brought here all showed shame—most of the commoners living outside of Memphis were very simple, especially the peasants, what they thought in their hearts would show on their faces.

Although people dare not say that Delos is cold-blooded behind his back, there must be a lot of complaints in his heart.Therefore, many people immediately bowed to Pharaoh to express their apologies.

Jangalai and Elyse thought at the same time: Don't worry, just listen to what Pharaoh has to say!

Both of them had preconceived ideas and believed that there was something wrong with the mother and child, so they were not very willing to believe Pharaoh's words right now.

But the folks don't know.

Most of these people have only heard of it: because they were discovered by Pharaoh, the women's team punished a mother and child.But what the pair of mother and child looked like, what their names were, and which Nome they were from... Even those who were in a women's team might not know.

Now, the sun has dipped below the horizon, and the last orange glow in the west is fading fast.

Seeing the sallow and stiff faces of the mother and child gradually disappear into the shadows beyond the reach of the torches, it is almost difficult for any peasant to notice that they are abnormal.

"The resentment in your heart can also be understood by the king."

"In these days, people endure bad food, smelly water, cramped beds, and hard work at the same time. What they get in return is only injuries and accidents at any time..."

As Pharaoh spoke, the peasants were moved.

No one could have imagined that Pharaoh could describe their suffering with such accuracy.

Originally, they all thought that the pharaoh who possessed divine nature did not know that he was high above.

Even Alixi couldn't help feeling secretly: three days after the farewell, treat each other with admiration.When did Delos' eloquence become so good?

But Zangalai knew very well that it was because he took the pharaoh to visit several camps where the peasants were stationed in Giza that it was possible for the pharaoh to have such a clear understanding of the lives of the poor at the bottom.

It took only a moment for Delos to impress all the servants in front of him, and some even covered their eyes with their hands and began to cry.

"But you must all think that the king ordered you to work only for the king's eternal life, and after death, he can board the ship of the dead to the underworld."

The excited people gradually stopped crying, and some bold people peeked curiously at the young and handsome pharaoh through their fingers.

The same question is on everyone's mind: Isn't it?

Unexpectedly, Delos suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed behind him. Almost at the same time, on the high tower built by Jangalai and his companions in the fastest time, facing the direction of the militiamen, the door that was originally closed Suddenly, there was no wind and the huge wooden door opened automatically with a creak.

"Wow--"

The people all let out an exclamation.

Everyone's eyes are gathered behind the wooden door, and the inside of the high tower shown——

This tower was built layer by layer by the peasants themselves, so everyone knows its internal structure.

The interior of the tower should have been divided into many layers.But the floor slabs of each floor have not been installed yet, only the grooves for clamping the beams have been reserved in advance on the four walls.

The tower at this moment has only four outer walls built with huge stones, and the interior is a narrow space that goes straight up and down.

But at this moment, a rotating stone staircase appeared inside the tower.

It uses the most common rectangular stones on the Giza construction site as stone steps, which rotate upwards.

These rectangular stones don't seem to have any support, except for the axis position of the rotating stone ladder where they are stacked together, those stones are completely suspended in the air.

There are no torches in the tower, but the surfaces of these stones all emit dots of orange-yellow fluorescence.

It is these fluorescent lights that outline a clear outline for the revolving stone staircase, making this mysterious and wonderful architectural structure appear before people's eyes.

The crowd surrounded in front of the tower couldn't help but squeeze forward two steps at the same time, trying to distinguish whether it was real or their hallucination.

"This is……"

An elderly peasant even got out from the crowd, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this the king's tomb that we built with our own hands?"

When they built this tower, they were only told that it was part of the royal tomb.

"This is not just the king's tomb..." Delos said in a deep voice, the shadows on his face kept shaking due to the light of the torches flickering around.

"It's also a bridge to immortality."

"eternal life?"

When hearing this word spit out from the mouth of Tylos, the hearts of the people gathered in front of the tower were throbbing in unison.

The amazement and spontaneous longing were like a huge wave, slowly sweeping through, engulfing the entire crowd, not letting anyone go.

eternal life!

They have heard countless legends, have been curious and longed for it, but they have never expected it.

None of them are the kind of people who are entitled to eternal life.

"If you are willing to try, climb up this stone ladder and go to a high place, you will have the opportunity to board the ship owned by the gods, be carried by it, and sail to eternal life."

Even Jangale was stunned.

As long as you climb that stone ladder, you can gain eternal life?

But when people really want to go forward and try, the peasants all show hesitation.

"Pharaoh...will he really give so many of us eternal life?"

"This stone ladder looks weird, will it fall if I step on it?"

"This tower doesn't look very high now, can it really reach the ship that sails to eternal life?"

People talked about it, but no one had the guts to try it.

Pharaoh immediately nodded slightly to the mother and child standing beside him.

The woman with a stiff expression took the children and turned around slowly, one big and one small, walking towards the huge open wooden door at the same time, and came to the stone staircase illuminated by orange fluorescent light.

The warm light illuminated the side faces of the woman and the child, showing them expressionless, just staring blankly at the stone steps in front of them.

The crowd gradually quieted down, and all eyes were on the mother and child in the tower.

I saw them take one step mechanically, then the second step, and the third step...

The mother's steps were longer, and the child's short legs could not walk up such a high stone step. The mother directly lifted them up together, and the steps seemed to be stepping in the void.

Gradually, the mother and son moved to a higher place, beyond the observation range of the open wooden door.

Many people tried to squeeze forward, and some squatted down directly, trying to see the mother and child climbing the ladder from a lower position.

The crowd that had calmed down became noisy again, everyone was talking loudly, and it was hard to hear what others were talking about.

Suddenly someone shouted in an excited and sharp voice: "Look! The top of the tower."

All eyes were instantly focused on the top of this square tower, even the pharaoh Delos and the guide Jangalai were no exception.

The mother and child did not appear at the top of the tower as Jancale had expected, and were picked up by a boat sent by the gods.

Instead, a layer of bright orange-yellow halo appeared on the top of the tower, covering the top of the tower. From a distance, it seemed that the tower was full of orange light, and the excess light came from the top of the tower. Spilled a little.

"That's their soul—"

Pharaoh Delos explained while watching.

"They are waiting for the gods to guide them there."

"But they are not standing high enough. When the god's ship arrives, it may not be able to reach the side of the ship—"

When Delos turned his head, his eyes swept over the crowd who were completely dumbfounded.

"But if you join them, you will be with them, and the higher you stand, the higher you will be able to easily board the ship heading to the underworld."

Hearing this, a voice suddenly sounded in Jan Galle's heart—deceit.

Pharaoh was deceiving these ordinary people for his own purposes.

At the thought of the word, Jangale's head suddenly began to ache.

Originally, he had already stepped out with one foot, and he wanted to speak to the people around him about the evil and danger he felt.But the sudden, sharp headache stopped him.

Standing where he was, he clearly heard Pharaoh continue in his ear: "Like them, step up this stone staircase, and you will say goodbye to crude food, hard work, poverty and disease, and you will have freedom and usher in immortality." life... you will become, better people."

The words "better people" pierced Jangalai's head like sharp needles.

He staggered two steps back, covered his head with his hands, staggered almost to the point of falling, but finally stopped.

He felt that his connection with God was slowly weakening, his consciousness was being seized rapidly, and he fought it hard but it didn't work.

At some point, he had already lost everything except this weak voice in the corner of his heart—I am Jan Galle.

During this process, Pharaoh didn't pay attention to the strange appearance of Jangalai around him.

The pharaoh just kept his face sullen, watching more and more people, after being bewitched by his words, boldly but cautiously enter the tower originally built for the pharaoh, and try to step up to the tower that was glowing with blue light. revolving stone staircase.

They stretched out one foot first, put it on the stone ladder, and then retracted guiltily.

After a while, they saw a more daring person beside them, stepping up the stone steps with great strides, and quickly climbed up.

They couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out their feet again, shifted their weight to the front, tried it, and found that the stone ladder was real.Although they are hanging in the air without support, they are completely able to support their weight.

It's a miracle!

People widened their eyes in shock.

Looking up again, they could no longer see the situation of the people in front of them, they could only hear the sound of hurried footsteps—thump, boom, that was the sound of footsteps towards eternal life!

Feeling hot, these folks didn't hesitate any more, they threw off their steps and rushed to climb up.

At this moment, the people standing outside the tower can also clearly see that as the number of people pouring into the gate of the tower increases, the arc of orange light on the top of the tower is gradually growing and getting higher and higher, as if to wear a light for the tower. It has a huge orange-yellow crown on it.

The tip of this tower is much higher than the other three in Giza.

The pharaoh looked at the crowd rushing into the tower quickly, at the eager faces, and at the way they scrambled to be the first, and even pushed the people around them aside, his eyes were full of indifference.

He turned to look at Jangarai, just in time to see that the guide was holding his head at the moment, his eyes were red, his chest was heaving, as if he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.

Pharaoh was not surprised by this kind of suffering and struggle, and said coldly: "Go, take the king elsewhere—"

Jangalai opened his eyes, and tears seemed to be pouring out of them.

But after a while, he lowered his head and respectfully greeted Pharaoh: "Yes!"

Ailixi was shocked when she realized that she had completely lost contact with Jangalai in an instant.

When she looked up, she found that Senmut was standing beside her, facing a [-]-square grid that had been sorted out and could be read through.

"High Priest, are you done?"

Alice was overjoyed.

She immediately found that the golden eyes of Senmut looking at her were filled with unspeakable horror.
