The person who came was Opt who led Ailixi on the road to becoming a god.

After Thebes left, Erich never heard from Opt again.Now that she perceives that Opt is already a demigod, she is somewhat surprised——

It turns out that the dead can also be promoted.

The last time I saw Opt, the other person was still a priest of God.Now he is a demigod in the form of the dead.

This made her have some guesses about the Scorpion King who was also dead.

But in any case, since there is Opt, who is sober and rational and has always had a good friendship with Erich, it is much easier to communicate with the Scorpion King.

The Scorpion King, who was sitting on the ground crying and kicking his legs around, sat obediently on the top of the huge rock that was cut off by Ailixi's sword, and was ready at any time while listening to Ailixi and Opt talking about the past. cut in.

"It turns out that you have obtained the white crown of Lower Egypt!"

Opte sighed, "Sure enough, the gods won't be fooled."

Erich quickly said that she wanted to open the original waterfall and end the civil war in upper and lower Egypt as soon as possible.

Then he mentioned the ancient Pharaoh Namer who guarded the Eye of the Great River, and mentioned that Namer's great achievements were snatched by the Scorpion King.

Optic turned to the Scorpion King with a serious expression.

The Scorpion King immediately lowered his head like a primary school student, but muttered, "What's wrong with that? He took over the whole of Egypt, and I just took away his great career..."

This is exactly what Alice couldn't understand.So he raised his face and looked at Opter, hoping that the demigod of the deceased could give an explanation.

"Indeed, when Namer unified Upper and Lower Egypt, he once competed with the Scorpion King's army. Whoever takes Lower Egypt first will win the ruling power of the entire Egypt."

Opte didn't need Alicia to speak, but explained by himself.

"But the Scorpion King's army is leading an army of the dead."

Alixie's big black eyes widened for a moment: she thought the world was weird enough and nothing could shock her anymore—she was still shocked.

"The dead—to seize the dominion of Egypt with the living?"

Opte nodded and said, "That's true. At that time, the dead could also walk on the ground. And they have the attribute of immortality, and they will never be killed again. They can even transform the killed opponents into their own. companion……"

Alice immediately imagined the image of the zombie army out of thin air in her mind.

"Of course, that battle itself is a wrestling between the gods - the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt will determine the ownership of authority."

"And...you know, Namer won."

"Hey!" At this time, the Scorpion King interjected very dissatisfied, and said, "He didn't use any aboveboard method..."

Opte turned his jackal head towards the Scorpion King, and the pair of red flames in the eye sockets danced a little violently.

"Why is Namer using an aboveboard method, if you can do it, you can use it too!"

Alixie was quite curious immediately: Is there any way that Namer, who is a living person, can do it.But can't the Scorpion King, who is the dead, do it?

Without her asking, Opt automatically explained to her: "Namer disguised himself as a hunter, traveled to Lower Egypt many times, and won the heart of the beloved daughter of the most important tribal leader in Lower Egypt. The leader nodded and agreed with them. So far, there is no suspense about the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt—the Scorpion King lost because of this.”

The Scorpion King who was sitting next to Opte stretched out his hand and slapped his thigh hard, and said, "I'll just say, what kind of hell is this?"

But Opter asked: "You have such a fierce and terrifying appearance, you don't know how to be considerate of others, let alone those beautiful and gentle Egyptian women among the living, even the women among the dead don't want to see you!"

The Scorpion King jumped up immediately, and asked angrily: "Women don't want to see me? Is there any woman in this world who dare not want to see me?"

Optimistically pointed at Elyse beside him, and asked, "Isn't that right?"

The Scorpion King was dumb.

Erich and Senmut looked at each other, neither of them thought that the truth of the war back then would be like this.

The means of unifying Upper and Lower Egypt is not a cruel conquest, but a loving marriage?

Senmut's expression showed a bit of depression——

Seth mentioned that Namer used the power of the original waterfall to unify Upper and Lower Egypt.That's why Erich considered learning from Namer's method of unifying the country.

Who knew that Namer's method turned out to be a political marriage?

Isn't that—

Senmut thought of a lot in an instant: Although Erich and Lower Egyptian pharaoh Delos have been fighting each other, they were originally husband and wife.

If the couple can reconcile at this time, does it mean that there is no need for war, and Upper and Lower Egypt will automatically reunite?

Senmut was pursing his lips and thinking, but he heard Erich ask with great interest: "So, how did Namer go to Lower Egypt many times? Shouldn't he stay in Upper Egypt and rule his kingdom?" Subjects, who control the army?"

"Is there still a passage between Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt that can easily and frequently travel?"

Yes - this is it!

Sen Mut suddenly realized, and quickly threw away the hidden worries in his heart.

He had to secretly praise Ailixi for her meticulous mind, unlike him, who always cared about things that shouldn't be cared about.

Sure enough, Opte laughed and replied: "This involves the original waterfall."

……

Under the vast starry sky and in the boundless desert, the two living and the two dead looked back on the past thousands of years ago, and tried to open up the situation for today's Egypt.

Opte turned to the Scorpion King: "Go, go and get that thing! The person above is not you, so it's more annoying to keep it by your side."

The Scorpion King, wearing a gold scorpion ornament on his head, made trouble unreasonably: "I don't mind it, I stole his great achievements, and I'm hiding in this desert, he can't find him no matter how hard he looks - I just think about it and I feel good ..."

Alicia smiled brightly at the Scorpion King.

Seeing her smile, the Scorpion King immediately felt uncomfortable.

The ancient dead turned around resentfully, walked towards the desert, suddenly lifted a stone slab from the ground, took out a flat object hidden in the stone slab, and handed it to Opt.

Opter nodded, passed the item to Erich, and said, "Look, this is what Namer said."

Alicia took it and held it in her hand. After looking at it for a moment, she suddenly realized what it was: "Palette?"

It was a flat stone slab nearly two cubits in diameter, in the shape of an oval shield.At the wider end of the slate there is a recessed area, designed for grinding paint.The finished color can be tested on the flat part of the slate and mixed thoroughly for use.

This palette is a must-have item for home and travel for Egyptians.Alicia is no stranger to this either.

The powder eyeliner she uses to line her eyes and the blush on her cheeks are used in her daily makeup.

Even the golden powder that needs to be applied on the forehead and neck on special occasions is all adjusted properly on this palette, and then Urania carefully paints her makeup bit by bit.

It's just that the palette that the Scorpion King took out.For ordinary Egyptians, it is really too big and heavy. Obviously, it is not used for daily makeup, but for the purpose of publicizing merit, or for large-scale activities such as celebrations and sacrifices.

At this time, Senmut stretched out his hand out of thin air, and a firefly appeared on his fingertips, which became brighter and brighter until it could illuminate the various patterns carved on the palette.

"It's Namer."

At a glance, Alixi recognized the mace held high in the hand of the carved figure, as well as the incomparable god-king temperament of this figure.

"Humph--"

The Scorpion King left with his mouth flattened, to show that he was not interested in Namer.

Where could Alixi care about him, and continued to carefully look at the engravings on the pair of stone slabs.

I saw Namer wearing a white crown symbolizing Upper Egypt and holding a mace in his hand, delivering a fatal blow to the captives under his feet.At his feet lay the corpses of his enemies.

While Erich was looking at the palette, Senmut was interpreting the content on the slate. He pointed to the papyrus sign representing Lower Egypt on the slate and counted softly: "There are six flower clusters on the papyrus, Each piece represents one thousand, which means that the king defeated the enemies of Lower Egypt, and there will always be six thousand..."

Alicia nodded after hearing this: "This is indeed a great achievement!"

It seems that this ancient pharaoh did use means of war when he unified Upper and Lower Egypt, not all by using himself as a bait to attract women with status.

In the distance, the Scorpion King let out a muffled snort that represented contempt from his nasal cavity.

And Opte reminded Erich: "There is also——"

Erich immediately reversed the palette, and saw Namer on this side, wearing the red crown symbolizing Lower Egypt, reviewing his team.

The person in front of him is carrying a row of flagpoles, on which are drawn sacred patterns originating from the gods, which is proof of the divine grant of kingship①.

In front of Namer's column, as on the other side, lay the dead bodies of the enemy.Most of these corpses were divided, simulating the way Seth dealt with Osiris back then, probably to prevent them from joining the team of the Scorpion King after they became dead.

After reading the engravings on both sides of the entire stone slab, Alicia had a rough idea. At that time, Namer not only used powerful killings and conquests by force, but also used diplomatic means such as political marriages to take the first step, ahead of the scorpions. The king gained the right to rule Upper and Lower Egypt and won the bet.

Of course, one can also imagine how aggrieved and depressed the Scorpion King was when he lost.

She turned to the Scorpion King: "Can you lend me this slate, and I promise to bring it back to you."

Of course, she didn't guarantee that she wouldn't bring the original owner, and let the original owner and the Scorpion King fight here again to decide the ownership of this stone slab.

The Scorpion King was even more depressed, holding his head and curling his body into a big ball.But he waved his hand behind him, saying: What do you love?

Opter stood up from Erich's side.

"Dear Princess..." He was still used to addressing her by her old title.

But seeing Ailixi's eyes, the demigod with the jackal's head was taken aback.

"Do you have any questions?"

The red dots in the eye sockets of Jackal Head flickered and danced, and after a while, he said slowly: "It's about me..."

Alicia nodded slowly.

"Yes, my friend."
