From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

"The first step of faith is trust."

Erich self-summarizes her experience in getting along with the villagers in the real world.

"At a critical moment in the face of danger, if ordinary people can be given a certain degree of protection, they will spontaneously entrust their trust to you."

After the village was attacked by a giant scorpion, the attitude of the villagers towards Elyse also changed.

Originally, they only thought of Elyse as a helpless woman who was separated from her companions and wandered alone in the desert.

But the two children around Elyse couldn't hide their words, they all babbled about what they saw and heard that night, and credited Elyse with the merits of killing the invading giant scorpion and protecting the village .

Alixi neither admitted nor denied, she simply acquiesced.

As soon as this attitude was put on, the eyes of people looking at Erich were different.

"In addition, I always feel that I used to fight side by side, or join hands to complete a certain task, brave together, suffer together, and succeed together. Those are also the foundation of trust in No. [-] Middle School."

Erich continued her self-summarization - since that night, in the whole village, it was the brother and sister who were closest to her.

Compared with others, the two children are more in awe, and more of the almost blind trust and intimacy of the first middle school.

Elyse knew that it was because she had entrusted them with her safety without reservation, and they believed in Elyse without hesitation.

But Alixi never thought that the powerful force she displayed that night, the translucent long sword that danced quickly out of thin air, and the hearty chopping of melons and vegetables in the face of the terrifying giant scorpion were actually all the same. An important reason for quick surrender.

Now the villagers look at Alixi with respect and fear, for fear that a translucent long sword will appear in her hand at any time, or her figure will suddenly disappear out of thin air.

"Also, don't be too generous."

This is what Alixi felt, and it can be regarded as an important experience she summed up.

Like in Scene [-], she showed the effect of the vapor collector to the villagers, but she had a long-term mind——

This time, she didn't present more water vapor collectors to the locals as gifts. She only said that she could lend them to them for a day or two when she stayed here.

As soon as they heard that such a miraculous collector only stayed here for a day or two, the villagers seemed to realize the rarity of this item in an instant, and knelt down to beg Elyse.

They knew that they were not qualified to keep this artifact from Erich, so they could only beg her to teach them how to make it themselves.

Teaching someone how to fish is worse than giving him a fish - which is exactly what Elyse wants.

So she instructed the people in the village to find drought-tolerant plants, tear those waxy skins into very thin strips, weave them into nets, and set up an inverted cone.

According to Erich's teaching, the villagers made several water vapor collectors, put them away during the day, and set them up in a cool outdoor place to collect water vapor at night.

With these collectors, the water vapor they can collect is equal to the amount of shallow groundwater in the wells dug by the villagers themselves.In addition, the water quality is also purer, free of impurities, and tastes sweet.

The villagers immediately regarded this collector as a treasure.They were full of enthusiasm, gearing up one after another, preparing to collect materials everywhere.

From the looks of it, as long as they can collect enough materials, they can make as many vapor collectors as there are.

Compared with the progress made by Alixie in scene [-], it is simply pulling the progress bar forward and fast forwarding.

"It's ok, you, you've swollen a lot, Erich!"

After summing up these principles of belief, Alicia couldn't help laughing at herself.

Could it be that she really took the nonsense of the fennec fox demigod to heart, and was so naive as to think that she was the chosen one?A cannon fodder supporting role through a book actually thinks that he has started to have the aura of the protagonist?

In fact, there is always a small part of her heart that is calm, and there seems to be a pair of eyes independent of her that are always silently observing, examining, and providing her with advice.

Regarding the recent series of unexpected changes, the fennec fox demigod uttered earth-shattering words, and Alicia did experience violent mood swings.But after that, after careful thinking, she came to the conclusion: - no conflict.

Whether she originally wanted her to establish a belief in God Amon in this world, or she promised God Amon to step on the throne of Pharaoh in person, these two goals do not directly conflict.

Even some of the necessary means are repeated, and the efforts to achieve goal one can also achieve goal two.

Therefore, Erich didn't worry about which goal she was working for, she just followed the established path: quickly improve her personality and strength, win allies, gather strength, and change the face of the world.

Thinking of this, Alicia's heart became much brighter.As for the question of whether she is self-inflated or not, she can completely forget about it and stop thinking about it.

But in this real-world village, Erich still found a problem——

In the evening she chatted with the villagers about their future.Erich intends to guide them to outline a better life for themselves in the future, but finds that the villagers seem to have no expectations for the future.

"Ma'am, are you saying that we can turn this desert into an oasis by ourselves?"

The expressions of the people in the whole village were surprisingly uniform, without exception, showing a daze, so uniform that Alicia suddenly felt that she was still in the scene.

"Yes, there are green vegetation everywhere, abundant water and grass, and abundant products. The ingredients are just like the surrounding flowers and beautiful scenery, and are readily available."

Erich paints an enviable picture of an oasis.

"Beautiful and intelligent madam, but... this is impossible. Our ancestors have lived here for generations. This place has been a desert since the time of the Scorpion King, and it has always been a desert..."

"However, you now have artifacts like collectors, you master Zhongzhi's technology, you can also dig wells, and you can make various tools..."

Alicia was inevitably a little anxious.She seems to have found the crux of the matter.

In front of her, there were still extremely blank faces, as if life was too dark, and there had never been any light or color in front of their eyes.

Even if Ailixi gave her help and bestowed new tools and technologies, this group of people still hid in their desert and their dark lives, unable to move forward.

Of course, there are also some people who will respond to Erich.For example, the little apple-faced girl who has been by Alicia's side all the time.

She has been listening attentively to the beautiful world described by Ailixi from the beginning to the end, her eyes are full of spirits.

According to the development of the script in scene [-], this little girl will become Alicia's most loyal supporter, and with her help, she will promote the transformation of the world around her step by step.

But that takes a long, long time, and the youth of several generations means that they will not be able to see the realization of the vision in their lifetime.

Perhaps it can be said that those who are at a loss and hopeless are almost equal to those who have no faith.

The inability to convincingly give a vision is the greatest obstacle to building faith—

Alicia summed up another rule in an instant.She thought for a while and said to everyone: "Tomorrow morning, I ask everyone to follow me to a place—"

"It's only two hours from here... a half-day's journey away. I have very important items that I need to show you."

She's going to take the whole village to the Swimmer's Hole.

The next morning, the whole village set off before dawn.They followed Elyse, along her path, with their backs to the rising sun, and walked slowly towards the rose-purple western sky.

The weather is still cold, and the thin water droplets condense on the cobweb-thin threads of the water vapor collector, and then condense into larger water droplets, which slowly fall and accumulate at the bottom of the clay pot, becoming a luxurious sweet dew.As a reward for those who walk silently to encourage progress.

Finally, the entrance of the Swimmer's Cave appeared in the field of vision, and it seemed to be connected with the large dark rocks around it.

Fortunately, the rising sun sent slanting light from another angle, making people realize that there is another huge space here that can accommodate hundreds of people.

"Yes, it's me again—"

When Alicia entered the Swimmer's Cave, she greeted the spirits in the cave with a little amusement.

She vaguely felt that today's spirits were extraordinarily active, quickly jumped up from the stone wall, and quickly gathered around her.

Maybe it's because I saw me again after such a short time——Elecia didn't take it seriously.

"Everyone, please come in and take a look!"

Except for the brother and sister who followed Elyse closely all day long, the rest of the villagers also hesitated after hearing Elyse's words and mustered up the courage to walk into the cave with their heads probed.

"I've been here when I was a kid, and I've seen petroglyphs on the rock walls. But I don't know what that means. Are they all...human? What are they doing?"

Suddenly someone asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I've been here too. Sometimes there's a sandstorm outside, or the weather is too hot and the sun is too strong. I can hide here for a whole day..."

More than one of the villagers has been here, entered the cave, and seen the petroglyphs on the rock walls, but they don't understand the meaning of the petroglyphs.

So Alicia smiled and told them: "The petroglyphs were left by your ancestors thousands of years ago. The paintings are all about them, us humans, and they are swimming."

There was silence in the cave: "Swimming?"

The hunters who chased their prey all day long and the women who were in charge of collecting felt very strange when they heard this word.

Alicia pointed to the petroglyphs beside her, gesticulating with a gesture of waving her arms and paddling water——

"Yes, they swim, because there used to be a big lake here thousands of years ago..."

"Standing here, you can see the sparkling lake. Yes, a whole big lake, the lake is full of water. People swim and play in the lake. They can make themselves float on the water by waving their arms like this. go ahead……"

The spirits in the cave originally gathered around Erich, but suddenly they all gathered in the air.

Alicia began to notice that everyone in front of her was staring blankly at her back.When she turned her head, at first glance, she felt that the rough sandstone wall in the Swimmer's Cave was still behind her, but after a while, her eyes seemed to blur, and a phantom appeared in an instant——

It's like a mirage, or an illusion imagined out of thin air in my mind.

Water, water waves, fine water waves reflect bright light in the sun;

Fish jumped out of the water, one figure after another was stretching their limbs in the water, swimming freely...

This is a dream, but also an old shadow.

This is the spirits in Swimmer's Cave using their remaining energy to show future generations what the landforms were like thousands of years ago.

"Oh, this is our ancestor—"

"It turns out that this desert used to look like this..."

Most of the people who gathered in the cave hadn't even seen the river or the lake.But now they are all able to complete the illusion in front of them by themselves, imagining without hindrance the grand occasion where the water and grass were lush and green.

This is the past, it is history, but it also shows a possibility.

There's nothing quite as visually stunning as seeing it with your own eyes, evidence of petroglyphs, and visions of ancestral spirit manifestations.

Alicia had just described an illusory dream to them in words.But now, standing on the solid ground in Swimmer's Hole, the villagers truly realized that it was not just a dream, it was possible.

"It's true, it's true—"

"It turns out that we can also..."

The atmosphere in the cave is joyful and lively.The cave has not yet accommodated all the villagers, and the people inside immediately come out and replace their companions, so that they can also share the wonders that their ancestors have created for them.

"lake--"

"Great Lake—"

The pair of brothers and sisters who had been following Elyse clapped their hands in the Swimmer's Cave with other children of the same age in the village, and circled around the hole.

Most of them are hearing the term for the first time.But this word is bound to make them firmly remember for a lifetime.

"Ms. Erich, it turns out that as long as we do what you said little by little, we can reproduce the grand scene of our ancestors and turn the desert into an oasis again."

When Alixie heard the sentence as long as/can be blurted out from people's mouths, she was basically convinced that the people in front of her had believed her unconditionally in their hearts and accepted the beautiful picture she drew for them.

"But I want to remind you..." Ailixi straightened her face. Because of her high status since she was a child, she was able to switch freely between serious and gentle expressions. "It's not something your generation can achieve through hard work."

"You, even your children, may not see the day when the Great Lake appears in front of you again in your lifetime."

"We understand..." People bowed to Elyse with great joy, "We will tell our children what we saw here today, and let them tell their children too."

"As long as you have green in your heart, there will be green in this land in the future—isn't this what you taught us?"

Alicia couldn't help the corners of her mouth curled up, thinking happily: Yes, I taught you all this last night, but you didn't believe it until now...

It turns out that this is the power to paint a big pie, no, to describe a vision.

The point is that the vision is both compelling and believable—

Erich went on to summarize her Laws of Faith.

At this point, the whole Swimmer's Hole is filled with joy and encouragement.

The old people in the village patted the animal skin drums they carried with them, and the adults danced to the beat of the drums.

And children imitate the human limbs on the petroglyphs, waving their arms and legs and pretending to swim.

At this moment, their hearts are at ease, they know what they want and what they should do... There is no more comfortable and joyful moment than this.

But the apple-faced girl stopped suddenly, she turned to Alicia, and asked softly, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Her elder brother also leaned in front of Ai Lixi. Once he developed respect for Ai Lixi, he would not dare to call her women and women in such a random way. Looking at the beautiful sister in front of her.

At this moment, Alixi was supporting her waist with one hand, and the other hand was propping up on the stone wall in the cave, her eyes were tightly closed.

The next moment, she opened her eyes suddenly, bloodshot eyes were evident.

She waved her hand and hissed to the siblings, "Hurry up, hurry up, take everyone out of this cave as soon as possible."

Then she lowered her head again, tightly clasped her lower lip with her teeth, to prevent herself from making any unnecessary noises.

She felt that there was power surging in her body, gradually becoming crazy and uncontrollable.

She seemed to feel that her body was expanding outwards, and she felt like she was about to burst.But when he opened his eyes again, his body was obviously still in good condition, the original appearance.

But she really wanted to vent her strength.

"Get out, hurry—"

Alixi suddenly hissed and growled at the two children. The roar was full of urgency, and the two children turned around and ran away in fright.

When she opened her eyes, she felt blood red in front of her eyes. In the blood color, people were turning around and leaving the cave one after another, casting terrified and worried eyes before leaving.

And Alicia's consciousness is close to loss, the only feeling at this moment is: I'm going to burst——

She seemed to feel that her body was too small a container, but it contained too much power and too large a soul.

When she was extremely anxious and frantic, Alicia's mind suddenly became clear for a moment.

She lowered her head, just in time to see a white light suddenly appear in her abdomen, that light was extremely soft, spreading from her chest and abdomen to the whole body——

A spell of protection left by the Sekhmet oracle.

The spell protected her children, and it protected her as well.

Once Alicia woke up, she immediately reacted.

Immediately, she saw light spots flying around her. These light spots were not only the spirits contained in the rock paintings in the cave, but also included all the energy contained in this ancient cave.

The light spots danced, gathered, and superimposed in the air, reflecting the originally dark Swimmer's Cave like a daytime exposed by the bright sun.A light storm seems to be brewing.

Where have I seen this scene—Alich was stunned, and her mind suddenly fell into a vortex that was sometimes chaotic and sometimes sober.

But when she was awake, she suddenly remembered where she had seen this scene before—in the Temple of Osiris, during the promotion ceremony of the priest of Anubis.

Could it be, could it be——

"She's in it, she's in it—"

The sound of people pointing out the path sounded outside the cave.

"Close your eyes, all of you. No one should stare directly into this cave."

An extremely familiar voice earnestly ordered outside.

Alixie's mind was already in chaos, and she couldn't recognize the owner of the voice.

Fortunately, a moment later, a pair of solid arms held her arms, and a soft voice rang in her ears.

"His Royal Highness the First Princess—"

Alicia slightly raised her face, and immediately met a pair of bright and gentle golden eyes.

"Minister Senmut, it's an honor to participate in your promotion ceremony."
