From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Before going underground to take refuge, Alicia had considered how to understand the situation outside, and judge when to open the mechanism and return to the ground.

Doesn't she know how to draw the Eye of Horus?

Through the Eye of Horus, allowing her spirit to leave her body, Erich can face real world scenes far away from herself, and even peep into other people's dreams.

However, the prerequisite for the Eye of Horus is the existence of a triangular wall corner with all sides at right angles to each other.There is no such architectural structure under the huge dome of the catacombs.

But it doesn't bother Erich at all——

The pottery pillow that Nanna handed to Alixi was a simple long cube structure. Turning the pottery pillow over, you can see that the inside of the pottery pillow is like a small room, vertical and horizontal, very regular.

Alicia used her own eyeliner to draw a very small Eye of Horus and three right angles in the corner of the ceramic pillow. After finishing the painting, she inevitably boasted about her superb craftsmanship in her heart. In the future, she may consider engaging in micro-carving and micro-painting such industries.

Then she told Nanna that she felt that the clay pillow was too high, and she didn't want to sleep on it for the time being, but she felt that it would be more reassuring to have the pillow by her side.

Naturally, Nanna had nothing to do, and she let Alixi hug the ceramic pillow and rest on her side.

Seeing the peace and stability around him, the God of War's favored person sat next to Elyse, closed his eyes and took a nap.

When Nanna breathed evenly and confirmed that she was asleep, Erich quickly released her spirituality, and soon opened the Eye of Horus, and one after another hexagons were continuously separated out from inside the ceramic pillow, enveloping her spirit.

As for where to go to peek outside, Alicia has already figured it out.

She chose the top of the astronomical platform in the Saqqara Palace. Her face could emerge from the four-sided triangular stele at the top of the astronomical platform to observe the surrounding scene.

Just before Alicia's spirit entered the Eye of Horus, a premonition suddenly flashed in Alicia's mind - she might need to hold her breath!

The next moment, Alicia's face appeared silently on the stone tablet at the top of the observatory. She opened her eyes and found that all she could see was underwater.

In the line of sight, all the scenery is shaking rhythmically.

The sky light reflected from the water surface, and the large area of ​​water in front of Alixie was shaking and changing with the continuous ups and downs of the waves on the water surface, and bursting out with sparkling light——

The water of the big river is clear, and the bottom of the water is the flat and clear stone ground of the Star Observatory.

Groups of algae of various shapes floated past in front of Erich, sinking and floating, like groups of jellyfish.

Occasionally, a large school of fish rushed towards Ai Lixi with incomparable speed, until it was too close, then slightly deviated from the direction, and brushed past Ai Lixi's cheek.

In the distance, a hippopotamus was waving on all fours and walking leisurely in the water. All Erich could see was its huge lower body.This giant in the water is like a mountain, leaving a large shadow on the bottom of the water.

Originally, Alicia held her breath instinctively, but later she realized that it was not she who emerged from the stele.It's her spirit body, and the spirit probably doesn't need to breathe.

So Alicia tried to exhale, and saw that there were no bubbles coming out in front of her eyes, just like being in an aquarium.Only then did she feel relieved, and then breathed boldly, enjoying the scenery of the underwater world to her heart's content.

The flooded river really flooded the entire Saqqara palace, even the highest astronomical observatory.

But look now that the water flow has slowed down and the flood peak has passed.After a few days, the water will slowly recede.

Satisfied with the outcome of the expedition, Erich is getting ready to leave.She suddenly felt turmoil and confusion.

The originally clear water quickly became cloudy.

The shoal of fish that was originally swimming in the same direction in the water seemed to be suddenly covered by a giant net. All the fish struggled to swim in all directions in order to survive, and even rushed left and right without knowing the direction.

One rammed head-on at the stele where Elyse was, passed through Elyse's spirit, bounced off the surface of the stele, and floated in the water dizzily.

Alixi caught a glimpse of the huge hippopotamus in the distance—that big guy also seemed to be in a panic at the moment, and the frequency of waving on all fours was obviously much faster than before.

The hippopotamus can already be regarded as a giant in the water, the overlord of the water, and no beast can harm it.

What made it so alarmed, so frightened, so desperate to escape?

Soon Alixi felt indescribable fear and strangeness——the space in front of her quickly went dark.

It seemed that even the sound of water waves and spray was completely cut off, and Erich could hear the sound of her heart beating in her chest.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The darkness that covered everything finally disappeared after more than ten seconds, and the light reflected in the water reappeared. Erich moved her eyes and tried to look up, down, left, and right.

At this moment, she caught a glimpse of an extremely thick black shadow, sticking to her cheek, passing quickly from the left side of her face——

This black shadow is about as thick as the base of the entire stele, and it is impossible to observe how long it is.But Erich instinctively judged that it was a huge beast.

The previous fear and evil all came from this huge black shadow.

"Run! Hippo, run!"

Such a thought suddenly came to Alixie's mind, she even wished that her spirit could pass through the stone tablet that restrained her, and stretched out her hand to push the hippopotamus.

It's a pity that her spirit body doesn't have such energy yet.

And the black shadow quickly went to the distance, and the target was the hippopotamus.

Elyse was amazed at the figure of the monster—by visual inspection, the part that appeared in front of Elyse was more than ten meters long.

The monster's movements were also extremely fast, and it was behind the hippo in an instant.

Alicia opened her eyes wide, trying to see what was going to happen.Unexpectedly, at this moment, the monster's body thicker than the stone tablet suddenly swung horizontally in the water, and hit hard on the stone tablet where Ailixi was...

Alixie's head hurts sharply, as if someone gave her a severe whip - the monster's impact not only hit the stone tablet of the astronomical observatory heavily, but also her spirit body attached to it Less damage.

At the same time, the water quickly became cloudy, and it seemed that all the mud brought by the big river was quickly lifted up by this collision, blocking Erich's sight.Before her eyes was a world shrouded in gray mist.

Only the huge black body was still entwined in front of Elyse, swimming at a moderate pace, so that Elyse could clearly see the blade-like spikes on her back, black, one after another, showing off her might It flashed before her eyes.

"Apep—"

Erich somehow remembered the name.

As soon as she saw the scene in front of her, this name that made people's faces change naturally jumped out of the original body's memory.

Legend has it that Apep is the embodiment of Isfad, a symbol of chaos and disorder.

It is a giant black snake that lives in water, can also land on land, and even sneak into the underworld to attack people who board the boat of the dead and go to eternal life;

It will even attack the gods, the night ship of the sun god Ra, and even the great sun god has to seek the protection of the gods with great power.

The giant serpent was a symbol of chaos, an enemy of order, a source of fear, a monster that all Egyptians avoided.

And in this book world, it actually exists...

Alicia struggled to break free from the layer of fear that was covering her heart, and opened her eyes wide, trying to see clearly what happened in the gradually clearing water.

In the distance, the hippopotamus that was waving its four legs tens of seconds ago has disappeared, leaving only a mass of pink in place, like a mist illuminated by the morning sun, slowly spreading in the river water illuminated by the sun, Diffuse.

Erich withdrew from the Eye of Horus, her breathing was slightly heavy, and her temples on both sides were still throbbing with pain.

Just now, the impact of the monster Apepu's heavy impact on her spirit body spread to her body and herself.

Alicia sucked in the air in the catacomb with big gulps, and reached out to rub her temples, her beating heart was slowly calming down.

"Apepu...it turned out to be the giant snake Apepu..."

Alicia thought in a cold sweat.

Nanna beside her sat beside her, breathing evenly, already asleep.

As a God of War favored, it was common for Nanna to sit and sleep.Therefore, he was unaware of Erich's adventures.

Alicia let out a sigh of relief, trying to calm herself down.

But on the other side of the hedge made of vines and shrubs, Senmut's voice sounded low: "Are you okay?"

Alicia: Did this person sense something?

She had no choice but to explain: "It's okay, I had a nightmare, I just saw the enemy in the dream."

Apep and Isfat, who represents chaos, happen to be the enemies of Ma'at, who represents order.

The Egyptians regard Ma'at as the right way to manage the country, and Apep is naturally their enemy.

There was no answer for a long time, but Nanna was awakened by Ailixi's answer.The God of War favored jumped up, caught a glimpse of the cold sweat on Ailixi's forehead, and immediately raised the bow in his hand: "The enemy... Where is the enemy?"

Alicia thought: Apep is outside, in the water.

So she explained to Nanna nicely: it was just a dream, and she saw the giant snake in the dream.

But the people on the other side of the hedge remained silent, and it took a long time before Alicia heard a soft sigh, followed by a soft instruction: "Please be careful."

Alicia: ...

Did you know something?

Sometimes Erich really wishes she could read minds a little bit, to read out all the sea-like knowledge and incomparable quick thoughts in Senmut's mind.

However, although she was worried that the high-ranking high priest knew something, Erich had no plans to stop using the Eye of Horus.

Anyway, even if Senmut sensed something, with Nanna around, the High Priest would not dare to cross the hedge to check her physical and spiritual body in person.

And Erich's plan is: if the other party asks about the Eye of Horus, she will deny it to the death.

The next target that Elyse plans to visit is none other than the heroine of the original book, Biola.

She didn't know what Pharaoh Delos was doing now, whether she had received news that Saqqara's palace had been flooded - Erich didn't care about it anyway.

But she had visited Viola a few days ago, and she was interrupted before she could fully communicate.She is a little worried now, not knowing what happened to the girl in Pharaoh's palace.

Erich quickly decided on her destination, and through the Eye of Horus, she came to the Pharaoh's palace in Memphis.

She emerged from the wall without a sound, and there was darkness in front of her eyes.The first thing she sensed was the sound of footsteps and discussions outside the door.

"The pharaoh went to Saqqara in such a hurry, but told us to keep an eye on this foreign female spy... Tell me, what is the king thinking?"

Alicia: Yo?Pharaoh rushed to Saqqara?

Did Delos find out with his conscience, or did he rush to collect her body?

After such an interruption, she missed a sentence in the discussion outside the wooden door. When she recovered, the person who had spoken before sighed sadly: "You said... can Princess Erich come back?"

Silence, the answer to this question is a long silence.

Until the original voice sounded: "I still miss the princess, I heard that the princess is still pregnant with the king's child... Tell me, how can the king be so ruthless, how can he be so ruthless..."

Alicia: ...My friend, you talk too much.

In the royal palace of Memphis, he dared to speak out the truth against the Pharaoh. Perhaps he could blame Yuan Shen for protecting his subordinates too well. Those young servants and maids had never experienced severe beatings in the palace.

While speaking, the footsteps of the royal servants had already reached the door.With the creaking of the wooden door, the room was filled with dim light, and even the almost transparent face of Erich who emerged from the wall was illuminated.

This is a prison cell without windows, and the interior is fairly clean. There is even a wooden bed and a low table in the corner.

It wasn't until this moment that Alicia realized that Biola was sitting not far from her.

The blond girl was like a doll at the mercy of others, sitting blankly in front of the short table.At the moment she was wearing a close-fitting linen blouse and a long skirt that Egyptian women usually wear.But the material of the clothes can be regarded as the number one in the entire Memphis palace.

Her eye-catching golden soft long hair, at this moment, was pressed under a complicated headdress made of colored bird feathers, losing its former brilliance.

But this headdress gave Viola the atmosphere of the Egyptian royal family to a certain extent. Her snow-white skin and big green eyes were all set off by this headdress.

Alixi vaguely felt that this sparrow feather headdress looked familiar, and thinking about it, wasn't her painted statue in the embalmer workshop also wearing such a headdress?

As the saying goes, what is good at the top must be followed by the bottom. Biola, who was locked alone in the Memphis palace, was dressed like this.

The girl was like a delicate porcelain doll, she sat in front of the short table in a daze, and let the waiter put a small wooden spoon in front of her, then ceramic bowls and plates, and finally the food presented.

The food was not bad, fragrant bread baked with wheat, barley porridge, thinly sliced ​​smoked fish, half a roast pigeon, various fruits and jams made from roasted figs.

This standard of food... Erich secretly commented, it's almost time for her to be in the palace.

It was probably ordered by Pharaoh before he left, not to treat Biola badly.

But no one in the royal palace of Memphis understands that the clothes and food are at the mercy of others. At best, he can only be regarded as a living dead, not a living person.

Biola's treatment is much better than before, but keeping her in this dark prison cell and guarding her has turned a lively little girl into a quasi-mummy.

"Eat, eat..."

Among the two maids who brought the food, one felt a little pity for Viola.

And the other probably thought of Erich in his heart, so he just looked at Viola with a gloomy face and didn't speak.

Under the sound of urging, Biola reached out to take the wooden spoon, and lazily scooped up a spoonful of barley porridge... At this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Viola saw Elysee floating out of the wall without sound.

The little girl pushed the short table with a bang, and stood up abruptly.

The two maids behind her were frightened, one quickly blocked the door for fear that Viola would escape, and the other quickly checked the food on the low table in front of Viola, for fear that something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, Viola had calmed down and slowly sat back in her seat.

Just now, at the moment when Biola and Elyse's eyes met, Elyse blinked three times quickly.That means—

No, no, no!

Viola calmed down resolutely, turned her back to the two maids, and said softly, "Two ladies... Sister, you don't need to wait for me. I always like to eat slowly. After eating, I will clean up the dishes by the door..."

The two maids glanced at each other, turned around and went out together, leaving an oil lamp for Viola when they went out, and the dim yellow light spot ensured that Viola could clearly see the face that appeared on the wall like a shadow relief .

"The greatest god, Biola finally waited for your appearance!"

The little girl completely changed her appearance. The dull doll just now had completely disappeared, replaced by a pair of bright eyes.

Viola's eyes were shining brightly, she looked at Elyse with great joy, she made a modern bow, and said softly: "Dear God, are you here to guide me to escape from this place where people are shackled to suffocation? ?”

Erich praised in her heart: This shackle is so effective that it suffocates. Modern people, no matter what, cannot accept this kind of primitive kingship suppression that restricts personal freedom to the extreme—even if Delos is extremely handsome.

She closed her eyes tightly, then opened them.

"Great--"

Viola knelt down in front of Erich's face, clasped her fingers together, and made a prayerful appearance.

The girl's big green eyes looked directly at Erich, and felt that she could see understanding and comfort in those transparent and almost invisible eyes.

Big and big teardrops quickly rolled out of Viola's eyes and rolled down her snow-white cheeks.

A girl who has persisted in a different world for a long time by herself.Once I felt the understanding and consideration of others, suddenly I couldn't hold back anymore, and I couldn't cry for a while.

She has always been a strong girl on the surface, she raised her head bravely, and built an impenetrable shell for herself, so that people in this world would not look down on her or despise her.

However, anxiety, fear and longing are all wrapped in the heart, and I have never tried to find an outlet to vent.

until now...

The god understood her, and appeared again, showing her the way out of this prison.

Thinking of this, how could Biola not burst into tears?

Erich watched the girl in front of her shrug her shoulders, desperately suppressed her voice and cried—she felt a little sympathetic.

Biola is not like her. In the era she should be in, Biola should have a warm home and many things that she can't let go of, right?

The heroine of the original book who had always been as strong and warm as a little sun, who would shout at the wall to cheer herself up, suddenly cried out in front of her, tears streaming down her face, unable to control herself.

Sure enough, the collapse of an adult is only a moment - Erich thought to herself.

"Don't cry—"

Alixi couldn't help but speak softly, she seemed to see herself who used to bite the corner of the quilt and cry silently in the dark night, she wanted to give herself some comfort.

Unexpectedly, after opening her mouth, she herself was startled for a while, as if she sensed something was wrong.

Then she saw Viola's long golden hair thrown back, her head wearing a colorful bird feather headdress looked up at her, her big blue eyes with tears in them were full of surprise and joy, with He looked at her in disbelief.

what's the situation?

Alicia herself suddenly reacted belatedly.

It seemed that the two words of comfort she spoke just now, the two words uttered from her spirit body, were actually transformed into sound waves and reached Viola's ears.

They could hear each other.
