"Sister, sister, hurry up, I'll show you something!" In the early morning, Isis was still washing up under the service of Aly, when she heard the excited voice of Memphis outside the hall.I saw him strode into Isis's bedroom, followed by Xinuye and Unas.

"Why are you in such a hurry early in the morning?" Isis looked lazily at the mirror.

Memphis walked over and picked up Isis, and trotted out of the palace gate. Xinuye and Unas smiled apologetically at Yali, and followed their master's footsteps wisely.

Isis, who was startled by her brother's sudden actions, screamed and struggled: "Bastard, Memphis, I order you to let me down!"

Memphis raised his eyebrows, did not stop, patted Isis's buttocks with his big hands, and said, "Sister, be good, and I will show you things later."

There were three tall horses outside the palace gate. Memphis got on the horses with Isis in his arms, pulled up the reins and ran towards the suburbs.Then Unas and Xinuye who followed also got on their horses and rushed in the same direction.

Isis resented her brother's overbearing, but she was not good at riding horses, so she could only nestle in Memphis's arms obediently.

After leaving the city gate, the three men looked around to confirm that no one was following them, nodded to each other, and continued to ride their horses towards the weed-filled barren land in the outskirts.

Not long after, a group of people entered a clump of tall weeds, and then the horse stopped in front of a hidden wooden door.As soon as he got close, he felt the surrounding temperature rise significantly.

Several people jumped off the horse, and Memphis carried Isis down again.

Isis couldn't help asking curiously, "Memphis, where is this?"

Memphis looked mysterious: "Sister, you'll find out later." He raised his hand and knocked rhythmically on the wooden door a few times. After waiting for a while, the door opened. The man, who was poking his head out cautiously, saw that it was Memphis and the others, he immediately saluted and respectfully made way.

Memphis nodded, and took Isis's hand to enter the door. Inside was a staircase leading to the ground. The dark candlelight illuminated the stone steps step by step, and the scorching temperature became more and more downward.After walking for about a quarter of an hour, what appeared in front of us was a wide field, dozens of strong men were busy in front of several huge iron furnaces.They put black minerals into the iron furnace to heat up, then beat the high-temperature molten material into shapes, put them in water to cool, and then bursts of white steam came out, and several men on the other side were holding them Water utensils are being polished.

Isis was a little at a loss, and vaguely understood something: "Memphis...these...these are...?"

"Sister! These are ironware!!" Memphis replied excitedly.

"God Ra..." Isis picked up a forged iron sword and looked at it, ecstatically, "It's amazing! I didn't expect that only the Hittites have iron, and I can make iron in Egypt..."

Seeing that Isis couldn't stop sighing, Memphis proudly said: "I got this method by accident. Sister, with iron tools, we don't have to be afraid of anyone!" Without any guilty conscience, this method of forging iron tools is It was taught by Kyroll in the previous life, but in fact, Kyroll just mentioned a very vague concept at that time, which was of no practical use.However, after the research and improvement of the craftsmen, they finally came up with a complete ironmaking method.In the past three years, he had someone secretly build this basement and forge weapons here.

"Memphis, these iron objects are our trump cards. Don't let those people know unless it is absolutely necessary." Isis said solemnly.Although she doesn't know how Memphis got this method, and she doesn't want to ask, but no matter who or what country, iron is undoubtedly a huge temptation, and it is the key to victory in a war.

Memphis nodded knowingly: "I understand, except for the craftsmen and slaves who are forging here, now including you, only me and a few confidantes know about ironware. Every time, I carefully keep track of people I just came here after being dumped." After hesitating for a while, he said: "I...haven't told my father that the Nubian princess is coming...I'm afraid my father will tell her when he finds out..." Memphis was a little uneasy He looked at Isis anxiously, afraid that she would blame him for concealing it.

Isis frowned slightly, she didn't expect this, but it's always right to take more precautions, who knows what kind of conspiracy the Nubians have, looked up and saw her younger brother watching her face carefully, and smiled comfortingly He smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You did the right thing, Memphis."

Seeing that his sister agreed with his approach, Memphis heaved a sigh of relief, and took Isis to visit around the basement.

On the way back to the palace, when he arrived at the city gate, he happened to meet the guards guarding the city who were checking the caravan entering the city.This is a very normal thing. After all, Thebes is the royal city of Egypt, and all aspects of prevention are relatively strict.After the caravan registered to enter the city, Memphis and his party went in. When they passed the gate, they heard the muttering of the guards below: "...It's a Nubian caravan again..." The siblings looked at each other in unison. Next, they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.Memphis turned his head and motioned for Unas to ask. Unas nodded knowingly, jumped off his horse, and walked towards the guards guarding the city.The other three rode their horses towards the palace. After all, asking about such matters was not as appropriate as Unas, who was the head of the guard.

in the palace.

"Your Highness, I've asked. There are indeed many more Nubian caravans entering the Royal City in recent days than before."

Memphis tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously, without expressing his opinion, he turned his gaze to Isis who was aside.

"On the surface, if it is for the wedding of the Nubian princess and father, then it is normal for the Nubian caravan to increase suddenly. But as far as I know, the Nubian royal family seems to be unpopular among the common people... Then why are there so many caravans coming to Thebes specially for this wedding?" Isis pondered for a while, and then slowly expressed her opinion.

Memphis looked at Isis with admiration. As expected of her own sister, she got to the core point right away.

"So, these Nubian merchants have another purpose? What could it be?" Unas asked anxiously.I was really irresponsible, but as the head of the guard, I didn't notice the situation in the city these days.

"No, if I'm not mistaken, they are not businessmen at all," said Xinuye, who had been silent on the side, "I found that the breath of those people was somewhat similar to mine when I passed by. And their walking Movements are not owned by ordinary people, they are specially trained."

"It's similar to you... So, it's a soldier!?" Isis was shocked and slapped the table angrily, "Nubia!! How dare they..." She couldn't believe it. Feishi's talk was just a habitual precaution, but he didn't expect that Nubia would really have plans against Egypt in the name of marriage.If they hadn't happened to find out today, wouldn't it be... Isis didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"No... Absolutely not like this, I want to tell my father, that shitty Nubian princess has no good intentions at all!" Saying that, the emotional Isis wanted to rush out the door.

Memphis hastily pulled back his sister, and said comfortingly: "Sister, please don't get excited, if you tell your father rashly like this, he won't believe it at all, and will only think it's an excuse for your disapproval of his marriage. What's more, we have no direct evidence of Nubia's intentions."

"But... but father..." Isis was a little at a loss, she knew that what Memphis said was true, but she didn't want her father to be deceived.Even though she didn't want her mother's concubine's position to be replaced, as long as her father liked that woman, she would have no objection.But, why is this the case...

"Hey... I understand, I understand... We still have time. When that woman comes, we will take off her mask step by step, so that the father can see her true face!" Memphis narrowed his eyes. , comforting the person in his arms in a low voice, no matter who dares to have plans for Egypt, he will never show mercy!
