From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

The clue about the original waterfall is in the desert?

Erich frowned when she heard the words, and various small golden symbols quickly swept across Senmut's eyes.

After a while, the two looked at each other and said suspiciously at the same time: "This is not right!"

What is the connection between waterfalls and deserts?

Elich thought further, remembering this once barren land, which had been lush and green in the wet times tens of thousands of years ago, with lakes like mirrors—but Seth had mentioned Namer.

The era of Namer was only more than 2000 years away from the era of Erich.

At that time, there were no swimmers in the Cave of the Swimmers. How could the original waterfall that could help Namer unify Upper and Lower Egypt have anything to do with the desert in front of him?

The two were instantly stunned by the clues provided by Seth.Seth himself laughed, turned his head around, and disappeared majestically before the eyes of the two of them like a scroll of papyrus that had been taken away.

Erich and Senmut searched around the Swimmer's Cave for a while, and talked to the villagers who gradually gained a foothold in the nearby desert, but they didn't hear any legends about the original waterfall.

Erich immediately decided to hurry back to Thebes—so as not to worry the people there about the queen who had just put on the white crown but disappeared immediately.

After returning to Thebes to appease the Upper Egyptians, Erich held another wartime council.

For this meeting, she invited her ally far away in Hittite, Prince Regent Kalsha.

Informing the allies of the staged results of the civil war in Upper and Lower Egypt, this is what Elyse thinks should be done.

Unexpectedly, on the other side of the Gate of Sight, Karsha folded his arms and said with a smile: "I said, Erich, if you hadn't called me today, I might have thought that your Upper Egypt had already been defeated."

Alicia: ... what?

She expected that Pharaoh's return to Memphis would deceive the world.But I didn't expect him to tell such a big lie.

According to Karsha, as soon as the pharaoh returned to Memphis, he informed the envoys stationed temporarily in Memphis that the pharaoh had just won a decisive victory over Upper Egypt.

The implication is naturally to ask all countries to spare no effort to support the pharaoh, so as not to wait until the pharaoh has unified the whole country, and then turn around and not deal with the neighboring countries.

And Erich received the news from her two relatives who stayed in Memphis that the pharaoh opened the treasurer belonging to the pharaoh, took out all the treasures stored by the Egyptian royal family for many years, and asked all the temples to do the same.

The king asked all the nobles in Lower Egypt to gather all the attendants and serfs they had in their hands, and all the priests and servants of the major temples, and ordered them to rush to the border of Upper and Lower Egypt as soon as possible.

Thus, in the eyes of the Upper Egyptians, the Pharaoh had lost all of the Lower Egyptian army and was making a last-ditch effort.

In the eyes of Memphis, Lower Egypt is only one step away from conquering Upper Egypt and unifying the country.

Delos actually looked like he was about to push the last weight onto the balance.

Alicia: ...Pharaoh is crazy?Do you have to squeeze out the last bit of manpower in Lower Egypt and keep his poor red crown?

For a while, she recalled the pharaoh she saw in Thebes, which was disguised as a quarry, and suddenly felt a little bit in her heart: Tyros must be involuntary, and he could certainly run the solar ship in public at that time, so as to warn himself;

But once he returned to Memphis, he continued to be that puppet at the mercy of others.

The hateful sun god Ra, the hateful and sad pharaoh.

Erich felt the pressure—perhaps Seth was right and she shouldn't have left Lower Egypt to breathe.They should have crossed the border and headed towards Memphis immediately after the war with the sun god Ra.

But this opportunity has already passed away. With Erich's personality that never regrets, she will not think about what happened in the past, but only think about what strategy to adopt in the next period of time in order to strive for the best interests of Egypt as a whole.

From this point of view, opening the original waterfall is indeed the optimal solution.

So Alixi thanked Karsha in the Gate of Sight, bid him a solemn farewell, and then asked the rest of the participants: "Everyone, have you heard of the Primordial Waterfall?"

"The original waterfall?"

Feilin and the others looked at each other and shook their heads in doubt.

"Or Namer..." Erich thought for a moment and then asked again, "Does any of you know how Namer unified Upper and Lower Egypt?"

This involves the war between Upper and Lower Egypt more than 2000 years ago and the oldest Egyptian royal family.

Even the most well-informed person can only respond to Erich with silence at this moment.

Rumor has it that Namer, who ruled the country, descended from the sky like a god, and Upper and Lower Egypt were completely unified in the blink of an eye, and were placed under his rule.

Probably because of this, all pharaohs are considered to be gods walking in the world.

"Master Erich, I've never heard of the Primordial Waterfall, but..."

The leader of the Wutao people and one of Erich's personal guards, the dark-skinned Satiri spoke cautiously.

"There are quite a few waterfalls on the great river, whether in Egypt or in the Nubians, there are six in total."

As Satyri said, the Upper Egyptians sitting beside him already showed obvious strange expressions.

This is because the ownership of the six waterfalls in the upper reaches of the Nile has been unknown.Which ones belong to Egypt, which ones belong to Nubia, and where the boundary line is? After so many years, there has been no conclusion.

Satiri was originally from the Utao tribe in Nubia, but has now chosen to follow Elysh.So he deliberately blurred this point in his words.

Feilin and others were very dissatisfied with this. After all, the Upper Egyptians fought all the way to Nubia and took all six waterfalls into their pockets.These six waterfalls should all belong to the Egyptians.

But now that the two countries have become friendly neighbors, and Satiri is Erich's bodyguard, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can't say anything.

Alice suddenly became interested, and with a wave of her hand, a huge illusory three-dimensional topographic map appeared, and she smiled at Satyri: "Tell me—"

It wasn't until Alixi came to the first waterfall in the upper reaches of the river in person that she realized that this world-famous waterfall might not be regarded as a waterfall in the sense of later generations.

It is closer to a canyon in the modern sense, or a steep river beach.

The river beach is covered with large and small rocks, tearing the raging river water into strands of rapid water.

Erich and Senmut stood side by side on a boulder protruding from the water in the center of the waterfall, observing the surrounding environment in order to find any clues about the original waterfall.

Soon Alixi made a judgment—it was almost impossible to sail here.

The great river, which had always been used by the Egyptians as the main transport road, was completely cut off here.Because the water channel between the rocks here is too narrow, and the water flow is too fast.

Not even the most savvy sailors in the most deft papyrus boats could pass this dangerous shoal.

Probably because of this, the ancient Egyptians regarded the first waterfall as the source of the Nile.

Because they came here by boat, they were intimidated by the rapids gushing between the boulders.

Later, the Egyptians who gradually grew up bravely crossed the first waterfall on foot, and then they discovered the second waterfall and the third waterfall...

He even went to war with the Nubians, conquered the tribes there, and plundered a lot of gold and ivory from there.

However, Egyptians still need to cross these natural dangers on foot.

The waterfall on the big river is a natural barrier given to Nubia by God, and it is also a natural test for the Egyptians.

Even in Erich's era, she only asked Ferrin and others to arrange for the pilot and sailors to drive the airship and cross this precipitous river beach—the first waterfall is still unnavigable.

At this moment, facing the magnificent landscape in front of her, Erich could only hear Senmut sighing beside her: "No wonder, when the Egyptians came here in ancient times, they took it for granted that the water of the great river came from the Creator who created everything. original."

"You mean, from the original?" Alicia couldn't help asking.

Senmut nodded gently, his eyes never leaving the magnificent and magnificent nature in front of him, but he answered Erich's question in his mouth: "There is indeed such a legend."

"Then, the underground of the Saqqara Palace..."

Erich reminded Senmut that it is said that there is also a way to the original.

The most surprising thing is that at that time, Erich and Senmut led people to avoid the underground tomb of the first female pharaoh, where the rolling torrent from the upper reaches of the river could directly pour into the primordial place connected by another fork.

But the original seems to be forever dissatisfied.

Erich inevitably diverted her imagination and made a bold guess——

If the underground of the Saqqara Palace and the first waterfall both lead to the original, then they are connected with each other.

In this way, the flood that was poured from Saqqara in the first place gushed out from the first waterfall in a blink of an eye...

Form a cycle, and the amount of water in that big river flood has not decreased at all-everything makes sense.

As Alixi thought, she jumped onto a boulder, stomped her feet, then put her feet together, and jumped again, as if she wanted to hear if there were any abnormal noises under her feet.

"Alice, do you really want to find the original here?"

Senmut came from behind her and jumped onto the same boulder—because the top of the boulder was narrow, Senmut had to stretch out his arms and help Erich's slender waist, helping himself and her to stand at the same time.

Erich didn't seem to notice Senmut's approach, her face was flushed, and her emotions were a little restless and uncontrollable.

"listen--"

She tilted her head slightly, her posture was focused, and she was frozen in the air.

Senmut's color changed because he heard nothing in particular.

The air was filled with the sound of the rushing water of the big river crossing the first waterfall. Occasionally in the distance, birds flapped their wings and flew over the canyon beach, making loud and clear calls, and there were no other unnatural sounds other than that.

Originally, this place was far away from any city, and it was not a place where commercial routes passed by, so there were very few traces of people.

Alicia raised her ears and listened intently.

"Did you hear that?"

In the endless sound of the river, Erich seemed to hear the call.

She suddenly beamed, and turned her head to look at Senmut: "It's Yuanyuan, I heard Yuanyuan greeting me, calling me—"

Senmut was taken aback, and suddenly his cheeks were completely pale, extremely pale.

Alice, however, was like a fish jumping out of the river, slipping out of Senmut's arms without holding back, and immediately transformed into a giant spirit body that could stand firmly in the water, then lowered her head , began to search boulder after boulder.

She is looking for the entrance to the original.

Finding the entrance is equivalent to opening the original waterfall.
