From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

When Ailixi woke up from the phantom, Senmut had relit the lamp in his hand and all the pine torches in the passage.

"We've already passed through the area that's closest to the original."

Alixi was stunned, and finally realized that she was no longer in the huge mural on the wall, she had already stepped out of history.

At this moment, her hands were still clasped tightly with Senmut's, and their fingers were intertwined, but the palms of each other were cold and slippery, as if they had been soaked in cold sweat before.

"Senmut, did you...did you hear or feel anything just now?"

Erich asked her companion cautiously.

"It's all hallucinations, don't worry about it."

Senmut responded to her kindly, and then changed the subject.

"Do you feel that there is something familiar here, we seem to have been here?"

Alixi looked down at her feet. This narrow passage had begun to turn into an upward ladder. The space for landing on each step was extremely narrow. They had to lean sideways and carefully place half of their feet on the steps. , slowly climb up.

Murals began to appear on the walls.

Alicia looked intently, but was a little disappointed.

After really walking into the depths of history in the murals, these images are just meaningless lines in her eyes.Although she has a sense of beauty, it can no longer bring her any emotional fluctuations.

"It's still too dangerous for ordinary soldiers—"

Erich then consulted with Senmut.

"We have to think about how to allow the soldiers of Upper Egypt to quickly cross this dark, narrow, and hallucinogenic underground area after entering the original waterfall, and appear at the end as soon as possible."

Senmut smiled suddenly and said, "I should have thought of it earlier."

"I should have thought that when you opened the Primordial Waterfall, you would not seek a political marriage like Namer. You wanted to allow ordinary people in Upper Egypt to pass quickly—"

Alicia: ...Huh?

Of course, this original waterfall was not for her own sake!

What is she going to do by herself?

She has the eye of Horus, and she is in Lower Egypt in a blink of an eye.

But Senmuth immediately opened his mouth, bypassing the topic, and said: "I remember a spell taught by God Tut, which is to simulate the action of binding a long rope together by applying the law of similarity, so that a certain point over a longer distance Connect directly with another point, become the same location. But..."

Alicia continued to move forward curiously: "But what?"

"The range of use of this spell is limited, and it can only be effective within a short distance."

Alice laughed immediately when she heard the words: "Of course, otherwise, wouldn't you have built a passage from Thebes to Memphis, our soldiers have already captured the capital of Lower Egypt, and Egypt has already been unified. "

Senmut thought about it, and couldn't help but smile.

But he still explained to Elyse: "If the original waterfall connects two distant locations on the ground with the shortest distance as we expected, I don't know if the spell can succeed here."

"Ok!"

Alicia was noncommittal.

In fact, she was thinking that if Senmut's spell was unsuccessful, she might consider trying to block the five senses of the Upper Egyptian soldiers until they passed through this underground tunnel safely.

Side by side with Senmut, she walked slowly along the steeply rising underground passage, and the two had to cuddle tightly when passing through narrow places.

The feeling of déjà vu became stronger and stronger. As the road under her feet became flat again, Erich seemed to see her former self, the self wearing the talisman Ymir on her chest, following closely behind Nanna and Senmut. After that, he was holding on to the wall carefully, trying to explore forward...

That was the first time she realized how mysterious and complicated the superimposed world view was after entering the book.

At that time, she was only working hard for the survival and dignity of herself and hundreds of people, trying to find a way to escape in despair.

And now she has already mastered half of Egypt's territory and power, and is trying to get the other half.

"look--"

Senmut stopped abruptly and showed her where the road ended.

That was a fork in the road.

Four forked roads, coming from different directions, converge here.

This is the fork in the road where they stopped, hesitated, and needed to use divination or even rely on sensory mushrooms to find out the direction.

Alicia stood at the fork in the road, filled with emotions for a moment.

At that time, they entered from the second fork on the left and found the underground palace built by the queen who wanted to avenge herself, thus leading all the trapped people out of the sky and avoiding the days of floods.

They also tried to explore the road where Ailixi came from, but they turned back in a hurry because they couldn't bear the weirdness brought by the original.

Now, after three years of being abandoned with the palace of Saqqara, she, Erich, finally became the monarch of half the country, and came here again.

"Let's go..." Alicia gently held Senmut's arm and said, "Let's go to the ground to take a look."

The ruins of the Saqqara Palace have not changed at all in the past three years.

Naturally, the project to build the royal tomb for the first princess fell by the wayside.However, the magnificent palace that was destroyed by that great flood never got a chance to be rebuilt.

In the past three years, all the young and strong were taken to the militia team that built the royal tomb near Giza. Those who survived the disaster were then reorganized into the army and followed to attack Upper Egypt.

Not all of them got the chance to eventually return home.

Now it is sparsely populated, and the once prosperous palace has become a sanctuary for many animals. Under the broken walls, there may be a nest of newborn rabbits or wolf cubs that have not yet opened their eyes.

An old man with all white hair sat woodenly on a collapsed stone pillar, like a sculpture.

He was dazed with old eyes, staring forward slumpedly, and murmured in a low voice: "His Royal Highness First Princess..."

This old man with all white hair was the old Mindeka who met the deposed First Princess Elyse in the Saqqara Palace and tried to send her some cards.

"Your Highness, as you said, each of us must live well, live..."

The old man recalled the past, and tears kept pouring out of his eyes, unstoppable.

After all, things turned out to be contrary to expectations. Among the civilians who came out of the underground royal tomb alive and saw the light of day again, only about one-fifth of them survived the signs of building the royal tomb and conquering Upper Egypt, and were finally sent back to their hometown from Upper Egypt.

Because of his old age, Uncle Deka was not conscripted to go to Giza to build a royal tomb for the pharaoh. Instead, he stayed in the village, together with the old and weak, women and children around him, to cultivate the land after the flood of the river, and to do everything possible to deal with the madness of the officials. Collection.Although they themselves are always on the verge of exhaustion or even starvation.

However, most of the young people who had high hopes failed to return home.

Most of those who returned were physically disabled, and there was not much hope for the rest of their lives.

They neither want to talk about what happened on the Giza construction site nor recall the battle that took place in Upper Egypt.

In Deka's view, these young people who obviously escaped with their lives and returned to their homeland seem to have their souls taken away, leaving only a body that consumes food every day.No one understands why they live like this.

"Your Highness, as you said, we must live with dignity..."

Deka sniffed and stretched out his hand to rub his eyes blurred by tears.

"But...if you appear here now, Dekanin would rather give you all his life back..."

He waved his left arm lightly, as if he wanted to return all the cards in his left arm to Erich.

In that disaster, Elyse saved their lives.

But these lives were still consumed meaninglessly afterwards, for reasons they didn't understand at all.

"why?"

A clear female voice sounded in front of Deka.

"Why did you give me your life back?"

This voice is so familiar, as if it has been deeply engraved in memory.

Deka was taken aback and stood up abruptly from the collapsed stone pillar.He stood so violently that he became dizzy, staggered two steps, and could only see two blurred figures in front of him, one tall and handsome, the other exquisite and charming.

The two stepped forward at the same time and supported Deka.

The delicate beauty held Deka's left arm, and energy poured from his arm continuously.It's like he has supported the lives of others countless times.

Deka woke up in an instant, and saw clearly that those who were helping him were indeed those two people who made him unforgettable.

Among them, the person who replenished his card with his own hands was actually the first princess who looked delicate and weak.

"No, no, no...how is this possible?"

Deka struggled to free his arm from Erich's hand.

"I'm just a useless old man, why should you, why should you..."

"Since you still remember what I said, don't refuse my help."

Alicia smiled and didn't let go.

For a demigod like her, giving such a little energy won't affect her in any way.

In contrast, when I see you again in three years, Uncle Deka's white hair and tears may have a greater psychological impact on her.

"As I said, I hope everyone in this world can live with dignity."

"Uncle, from today on, I will definitely do what I said."

Uncle Deka's tears welled up again.However, this time it is not the tears of desolation and disappointment, but once again has the backbone and the motivation to live...

However, from the former site of the Saqqara Palace, to the pharaohs and officials in Memphis, to the army sent to guard the border between Upper and Lower Egypt, people felt unspeakable fear because of a sudden news.

Pharaoh once told the whole of Lower Egypt that he had achieved a crucial victory over Upper Egypt, and pushed the last bit of power in Lower Egypt to the border of Upper and Lower Egypt.

But now, the upper Egyptian army suddenly appeared directly in the hinterland of Lower Egypt, not far from the capital Memphis, in the Saqqara area through some unknown route.

They appeared without anyone noticing, like magic soldiers descending from the sky, and they were invincible along the way, approaching the capital of Memphis.

The sudden arrival of the Upper Egyptian army was like a sharp knife piercing the heart, causing the nobles, officials, and ordinary people who received the news to feel intense fear throughout Lower Egypt.
