From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Alixi had quick eyesight and quick hands, and finally stopped Hansu from completely sticking his tongue to the ice door she created in time.

Just now she simulated closing the door, and tried to summon her own power the moment the door was closed.

It's a feeling, and it's an instinctive response to a crisis when there is no turning back.

Energy surged out from her fingers, palms, and her whole body... and quickly transformed into a form, calm, calm, eternal, and indestructible. A hard and thick ice wall appeared in front of her eyes, and it became thicker and thicker.

At the beginning, this ice door still completely retained the prototype that Erich had been meditating in her mind when she used the Law of Similarity—the bronze door of the Saqqara Palace.

But as the ice door was fully formed and withstood the torrential river water pouring into the underground tomb, the ice door began to lose its shape, and became more like an ice wall without gaps or flaws.

This wall contains a deep energy, but anyone who comes close can feel the chill it emits.

And the reason for the thickening of the ice wall, Erich guessed that it was too cold, and quickly froze the river water that hit the wall at the other end, and became a part of the ice wall. Now, there is no need to worry about the ice wall melting for a while. The problem of influx of river water.

After experiencing the application of spells without spells this time, Erich finally gained a little experience: the energy she used came from nowhere, perhaps this was the legendary god-given.

And she is more like a key, when needed, the gate will suddenly open.

According to Yumir, when the energy appeared, it was an attribute that belonged exclusively to her—if not entirely ice, at least it was related to ice.

And Senmut's attributes should be related to life. After he releases his power according to the law of similarity, he should weave a wall made entirely of plants.

But the problem is that no matter how thick a wall is made entirely of plants, there will always be gaps that allow water to penetrate.

In this way, the people hiding in the catacombs will slowly suffer, and the flood will completely submerge their last shelter.

The properties of energy are different, and the final results obtained by using spells are also different.

And this time, thanks to Alicia who stepped forward at the last moment, they achieved the desired effect.

Ailixi thought to herself, although she is just a newcomer to God, she is not much worse than the priest of God who is closest to God.

Alixi couldn't help but glanced at Senmut triumphantly, seeing that his eyes were gentle, with hints of approval and encouragement.

Alicia thumped in her heart, and suddenly figured it out.

The reason why Senmut had no objection just now, and even stepped back decisively, and even gave up his position to Erich, should be that he had already predicted this through inspiration.

Thinking of this, Alicia's joy faded a bit.

She held Nanna's arm, turned to face the men, women and children gathered in the hall, and said loudly, "Everyone is safe for the time being, please rest assured."

The thick ice door behind her completely cut off the sound of the water outside, and here only Erich's clear and soft voice echoed in the empty dome.

There was a sudden burst of cheers from the crowd.

It was only at this moment that the tense nerves were relaxed for the first time. After two or three days of tension, most of the men, women and children who gathered here sat down on the ground in exhaustion.

As soon as they sat down, they seemed to think of something, and they got up one after another, thanking Alixie, Senmut and others together.

"Thanks to you, Asuts favored by the gods..."

Alicia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, glanced at the deep, dark underground tomb, and the few pine torches in the tomb, and her heart sank again.

It was nowhere near the sanctuary she had envisioned.

"Everyone, we will continue to improve the environment here. Please rest in place for a while, and someone will come to arrange meals and rest for everyone."

As soon as Erich turned around, she grabbed Senmut's sleeve——

"Master High Priest, what I mentioned to you—"

Earlier she had discussed with Senmut the application of the law of similarity.And Erich also discussed her idea for the makeshift shelter during the flooding of the great river.

"Your Highness, you said that you hope that there will be light, flowing breath, and recyclable life here..."

At that time, Alixie talked about the concept of the ecological circle for some reason. Senmut, Nanna and others were all confused when they heard it, and Alixie had to explain it to them in detail...

The human beings who are now assembled in this vast hall are no different from the birds and livestock they have brought in.

They need enough oxygen to survive, which can only be done through sunlight and photosynthesis of plants.

Hundreds of other people gather here, and they also need clean drinking water and a clean living environment.

In terms of drinking water, people brought barrels of sour beer from the ground, and clear water in huge clay pots——

The only problem is that I don't know if it's enough, or if I can hold it until the water level recedes, and all the accumulated water outside the ice door will flow to the original place.

As for keeping the environment clean...it's not a small difficulty, after all, this is a completely enclosed space, if you want to discharge sewage, there is nowhere to discharge it.

Erich couldn't figure out how to apply the law of similarity to achieve the above goals.

She didn't even think about how to explain to Senmut and the others: oxygen, photosynthesis, ecological environment...these seemed too far away from this ancient and strange book world.

And these questions, it is definitely useless to ask the talisman Ymir-these needs did not exist in the era of the revengeful female pharaoh Nitocris.

Erich lowered her head and glanced at the talisman worn on her chest. This guy is terribly quiet now, but just now when Erich built an ice door with her bare hands, this talisman that lasted at least a thousand years of spirituality was beside her. Almost broke my throat - if the rune had a voice.

I guess I know I can't help right now.

Alice thought, turning her head to look at Senmut.

Under the dim light in the hall, Senmut's pair of pale golden eyes looked at Erich, as if the stars were twinkling.

"According to what you said, first of all, let there be light!"

Alicia nodded: "Yes, not only light, but also the same light as the sun, which rises in the east and sets in the west, and at night, the moon is in the sky, and the starry sky is shining."

As she spoke, she was thinking: Could this be a dream?

Unexpectedly, Senmut nodded warmly and responded softly: "Everything is as you wish—"

Shocked by the promise, Alicia looked up at Senmut and thought in amazement: So powerful?

Feeling her surprise, Senmut raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "However, you need to nod in agreement."

Alicia: "Me?"

When did she have such great authority that she could influence Senmut's actions?

Seeing her expression, the high priest smiled even brighter. He bowed slightly, and at the same time stretched out an open hand to Erich: "I need the travel ticket in your hand."

As soon as Alixi heard the word travel, she screamed that it was not good. She instinctively thought: Could it be that the high priest took the travel and wanted to run away?

However, if Senmut wanted to take advantage of the trip, he should have proposed it long ago, and he would not wait until now.

Furthermore, she seemed to be the only one who thought about traveling to escape during the entire Saqqara palace distress.

So, Erich decisively took out the flat, boat-like amulet and put it in Senmut's palm.

Senmut smiled and looked at Nanna who was supporting Erich: "Major maid, do you still want me to send the princess back to Memphis?"

Nanna bowed her head in shame.

Seeing Nanna's face, Alicia knew that the head maid should have begged Senmut in private, asking him to use this trip to take Alixi back to a safe place.

But this trip has always been in the hands of Erich, as long as Erich refuses to make up her mind to run away, Senmut will never force her.

But the question is, how can this trip create the environment she wants?

It is just an auxiliary travel tool, how can it bring light?

Seeing her confused and curious expression, Senmut smiled even brighter.

He held up the trip and said to Erich: "His Royal Highness, now I will try to use the magic spell—but before today, I have never understood where this magic spell came from and how it works Yes, I just simply wrote down this divine mantra in the form of a mantra..."

"But today, I fully understand."

"You should understand that both the sun and the night require travel."

Erich's eyes widened blankly after hearing this, but she suddenly remembered the books on Egyptian mythology she had read——

In Egyptian mythology, the sun god Ra rode a solar boat and passed through the sky every day, so that all living things and spirits on the earth were bathed in the bright sun.

Every night, the god Ra drives the solar ship to drive in the underworld, returning to the origin of the sun from the other side.

Therefore, the cycle of day and night, with the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, is entirely the result of travel.

This is the similarity, this is the principle of using travel to create light.

Alixie understood instantly, and her eyes showed clarity.

Senmut could sense her emotions, he didn't need to look her in the eyes to understand.

I saw the young high priest stretch out his right hand holding the traveler, and whispered a spell.

Erich suddenly felt that the travel amulet in front of her had some changes. The flat amulet really turned into a boat, with figures faintly visible in the boat, and long oars sticking out from both sides of the boat.

Senmuth continued to chant, and the Journey rose steadily from his palm and into the air.

At this moment, the thin hull suddenly released bright light.

The light came without warning, causing the civilians gathered in this hall to rest on the spot to let out a groan.

The pigeons that were brought into the ground by Erich's attendants as food suddenly saw the light and made coo coo coo coo coo coo at the same time.

All eyes turned to Alixie and Senmut. People stared at it for a moment, and stretched out their hands to cover their eyes.

After acclimatizing to the dim environment, it took them a while to get used to the bright light again.

And this light is soft, not too dazzling. As the amulet rises, it sprinkles in the entire underground tomb hall, and keeps moving, slowly across the entire dome.

Alixi looked forward and clearly saw clear shadows behind Karam and his son standing in front of her, from long to short, and then from short to long.

It seems that in this short period of time, people have already spent a peaceful and comfortable day.

When the traveler passed through the tall dome steadily and landed on the other side, as if the sun was gradually burning out, and the setting sun set, the pine torches that were still lit in the hall stood out one by one.

Alicia: ...

Is it so short?

Just use up the whole trip?

Senmut smiled modestly in front of her: "I'm sorry, this is just an experiment to see if it works..."

"The energy contained in this amulet can circle the hall about thirty times, that is to say..."

"Thirty days and nights?"

Alicia delighted: That's enough.

A month after the river had flooded to its crest, the water level must have dropped.

Senmut asked the surprised civilians gathered in front of him: "Does anyone remember what time of day it is?"

People in the hall looked at each other.

In the past, everyone lived a life of ups and downs, day and night.Many people stay up all night and finally feel tired at this time.

Who can tell what time it is?

Unexpectedly, a voice sounded: "Gululu——"

It was very loud in a quiet hall, and even aroused an echo: "Gululu... Gululu..."

Then a young man said in a shy voice: "Master High Priest, it's been three quarters past noon..."

"My stomach doesn't live up to it. If I haven't eaten, I'll growl by this time. It's like this every day. It won't change." He added embarrassingly.

There were good-natured smiles on people's faces.

Alicia: ...This is also a way.

Senmut sincerely thanked: "That's great, this can help me a lot."

He recited the mantra again, but this time the mantra was much longer than the last time.

Little Journey picked up the passengers who symbolized the gods on the ship again, and quickly drove to a position a few minutes from the center of the dome, where it stopped, or in other words, began to move very slowly.

The whole hall looked extremely bright, completely bathed in the warm sun after noon.

The hall was extremely quiet for a moment, and everyone closed their eyes, greedily enjoying the gift of the sun.

The same is true for Alicia, she half closed her eyes, and there was a voice in her heart:

God said, let there be light.The high priest created the light.

"Happy cooperation!" Alixi couldn't help it anymore, showing a sincere smile.

There are not many opportunities in this world that can make her feel joy so purely.

Unexpectedly, this is not over yet, Senmut stepped into the hall, and wherever he went, the civilians made way for him.

Senmut strolled around the entire underground mausoleum hall leisurely. He seemed to reach out and take something out of his sleeve.

Erich has always been very curious about Senmut's sleeves.After all, the good things in his sleeves seem to be endless, but it is obvious that the sleeves of his toga are light and thin, and there is not much space.

I saw Senmut back and forth, waving his arms in the air.

Not long after, he lowered his head, put his arms on his chest, and raised them high.

"Wow--"

At the same time, green appeared in the hall illuminated by the little sun of travel.

Two rows of tall palm trees grew in the middle of the hall, and the trees grew tall quickly, with dark green palm leaves like cattail fans.

On both sides of this road, green shrubs and vines grow. These shrubs and vines grow taller and taller, and naturally become a barrier that blocks the view. First, the statue of the female pharaoh Nitocris is surrounded to prevent it from being overwhelmed. Watching, or being bumped and scratched by people passing by.

These barriers divided the remaining area in the hall into more than a dozen areas. People who were evacuated from the surface to the ground could even use their previous organization and live in groups in groups that were isolated from each other and communicated with each other.

Seeing this, Alixi thought to herself: This is reasonable.After all, the high priest had already shown in her dream that his ability attribute was that of life.

But it was unexpected, because she never revealed to Senmut what function the green plants necessary for these underground spaces should have.

Senmut has realized all of them: These plants can not only synthesize the oxygen necessary for life through photosynthesis, but also use them to transform the well-ordered courtyards in the Saqqara Palace into a small space that makes people feel safe. , all moved underground.

Now people can no longer live in such a restrained way. The private space created by the barrier composed of shrubs and vines is enough for men, women, children...everyone can find their comfortable environment.

This underground shelter, which even Erich couldn't construct in her mind, gradually took shape in Senmut's seemingly random walking back and forth.

At the same time, Kalam and Hansu, a father and son, were lying in front of the ice door created by Erich, wondering what to do.

Hansu was frightened by Alixie for a while, and finally knew that licking the ice at random would make his tongue completely stick to the ice.

The kid was not going to mess around anyway, and was helping Karam find something in the tool bag that their team of craftsmen had salvaged.

"Father, is it this?"

Hansu took out a cylindrical object with the thickness of an adult's arm, which was wrapped in old linen.

When Alicia saw it, her first impression was—why does it look like a mummy?

"It's a mummy, Miss Wangfei."

In response to Alixie's question, Hansu replied with his crisp childish voice, "The mummy of the pangolin."

Ah this...

Erich really didn't expect that the Egyptians could make mummies of everything, even pangolins.

Just when she turned her head to look at the progress of Senmut's work, she suddenly heard Nanna's rough voice: "Craftsman, what are you going to do?"

Erich looked back, just in time to see Hansu helping to hold the pangolin mummy, and Karam squatting in front of the ice door she had completed earlier.

The father and son raised their eyes together, looked at Nanna innocently, and replied in unison: "Drilling!"

hole?

Alicia thought to herself: She blocked the flow of water with great difficulty, but now the father and son want to make a hole in it?

However, pangolins... this seems to be the application of the law of similarity.

Just as she was thinking about it, Alixi suddenly saw that the pangolin mummy in Hansu's hand seemed to come alive, and quickly burrowed into the ice wall she worked so hard to build.

Alicia immediately sensed: This is not just an ordinary pangolin mummy... This is a special item similar to an amulet, and its function is - to make holes!

This idea flashed quickly in Alicia's mind, and only then did she realize that she needed to stop it.

So she and the head maid stretched out their hands at the same time, with one rough and one soft voice, and shouted at the father and son: "Don't..."

She managed to build an indestructible barrier, don't make a hole if there is a disagreement!
