no longer human...

Erich was speechless for a moment with Biola's comment, and decided to directly visit this little girl who sounded frightened as a benefactor.

As soon as she saw Viola, the blond girl let out a long sigh of relief, and said with great joy: "That's great, I thought the gods wouldn't respond to me because of other envoys..."

Alicia: How should I put it, the one who responded to you is not a god...

Biola has specially packed a private room in her tent.Normally, Biola lives here, and outside it is used to entertain the two couples, Fengshen and Rainshen.

At this moment, Erich was huddled in Biola's small room, and the two young women put their heads together and spoke in a low voice.

"Grandma Yushen is outside."

Bio stretched out a finger to touch her lips, "Shhh, let's be lighter."

Alicia: It's you who is lighter.

She appeared in a spirit state, and the Tefnut oracle could not hear her.

"Before I exchanged makeup with Grandma Yushen, Grandma Yushen was very interested, and asked me to help her..."

When it comes to makeup, perhaps in the entire city of Tanis, Biola has the most say.

"I just found out when I was doing makeup for Grandma Yushen next door. I was terrified at the time. But Grandpa Fengshen was outside, so I didn't dare to make too much noise to scare the old man..."

Alicia nodded and said, "Try to stay calm, you go out, and then guide me to take a look."

Biola suddenly looked outside with lingering fear.

"Don't be afraid..." Alixi immediately comforted her, "You should be able to determine whether she is hostile to you."

Viola nodded hesitantly.

"Let's confirm the problem first, and then think about how to solve it." There was a natural calmness in Ailixi's voice.

Biola nodded from hesitation to force.She took a deep breath, lifted the tent, walked into the living room of her tent, knelt down on the ground covered with a woolen blanket, and looked at the envoy of Tefnut lying in front of a short table with her head tilted. Said: "Grandma Yushen, do you like this makeup look?"

Alixie was sitting beside Biola at the moment, and she also sat down on the low table.She winked at Biola, indicating: You did a good job.

Only then did she see clearly that the Angel of Tefnut was crouching in front of a pottery pot filled with ink-dyed water.The surface of the water was calm, reflecting the face of the God Envoy of Tefnut.

Before the bronze mirror appeared in this era, people used the reflection in the water to appreciate their own faces.

And Biola's makeup skills are really not covered, Tefnut's face was originally covered with wrinkles, but now it looks smooth, with no trace of wrinkles visible.Alixi felt that it was a shame that this young girl did not become a popular beauty blogger in modern times.

"like--"

The Angel of Tefnut, still acting like a girl, happily agreed.

Then he pointed to his right cheek in the mirror and said: "The skin tone here seems not even enough, please fill it up for me, okay?"

Biola took a deep breath immediately.

Alixi stretched out her hand and held Viola's arm: "Steady."

"Remember our purpose is to help her—"

Viola blinked her eyes quickly a few times, and replied in a cheerful voice: "Of course, Sister Rain God, please sit still."

As if by magic, she dug out a lot of tools for makeup from the low table, the most conspicuous of which was a pottery palette, on which at least a dozen colors were adjusted.

Viola took a brush made of wool, adjusted some colors, and then lightly brushed on Tefnut's left cheek——

Even though she was mentally prepared, Viola froze there for an instant, the brush in her hand froze in place.

And Erich also saw very clearly that when the brush touched her cheek, Tefnut made a big piece of her cheek collapse instantly.

It seemed that the skin and muscles on the face instantly turned into dust, directly exposing the bones inside, and even the teeth that were about to come loose were clearly visible.

Under the shade of the dim oil lamp, God made the bones exposed on the face present an old gray earthy color.

Erich saw it and immediately understood why Biola would say that she was no longer human——

With Viola's knowledge and experience, she must be able to recognize: this is very similar to the remains of ancient people excavated by archaeology.And it is absolutely impossible for a living person to have this change suddenly.

At the moment when Biola was stunned, the big hole in Tefnut's cheek immediately began to repair by itself, quickly covering the bones and teeth, and the skin reappeared, but it was still full of wrinkles.

Alicia stretched out her hand silently, and grabbed Viola's shoulder.Only then did the girl calm down a little, she continued to stretch out the brush, and lightly applied a fine layer of powder to this half of the cheek, and finally tried to stabilize the tone, and asked softly: "Sister Rain God, can you shine on the water basin again, Do you like it?"

"Yes, I like it!" Tefnut's envoy replied with unconcealed joy, her expression and voice were no different from those of an innocent girl.

But looking at the real girl, Viola almost shed tears.

Finally, Alicia and Viola returned to the small single room surrounded by tents.Alicia asked: "I'll ask the gods for instructions. You try to keep the status quo and don't make any noise."

Biola didn't suspect anything else, she nodded in agreement, and the figure of the sender disappeared quickly.

But Elyse had nothing to do—she didn't know what happened, and she couldn't solve Biola's question, so she had to take the opportunity of asking for instructions to escape and find another way to ask for help.

It was late at night.

Seeing Alicia wake up, Urania reached out to push Nanna to wake her up, but was stopped by Alicia.

Nanna had a contented smile on her face at the moment, but fell asleep snoring like thunder.Ailixi was also reluctant to wake up the head maid who had been up for several nights without closing her eyes.

Urania took off Erich's wool vest and put it on her, and helped her out of the tent by the river.

The weather is just right at this moment, the dark blue sky is densely covered with thousands of dots and thousands of stars, finely divided, but the Milky Way straddles the sky majesticly, making the sky look like a giant dome, with tiny human beings upside down in it.

Alicia whispered a few words to Urania, who hummed, and retreated to the palace guards who were watching the night by the fire, waiting silently.

Alicia walked towards the tall and straight figure under the night sky, stood silently beside him, and looked up to the sky together with him.

"You also like stargazing?"

The first to speak was Senmut.

"do not like……"

Alicia replied directly, "Because I don't understand."

Senmut was speechless, but he seemed to have a better understanding of Alicia's frank attitude towards life.

"I still remember when I was with you on the Saqqara Observatory—"

Senmut looked up, as if feeling emotional.

Alicia nodded: "I remember too."

It seems that countless things happened after that, so that the trajectory of their respective lives has changed dramatically.And for some unknown reason, it overlapped again here.

Senmut immediately apologized with a smile: "This is my casual expression, you don't have to accommodate me like this. Do you want to ask me something?"

It seems that he has already felt the urgency of Alixie's desire to solve the confusion, and he should not wear it to avoid it.

That is to say, because the night scene was so beautiful, Erich didn't immediately interrupt Senmut's stargazing mood, but endured it for a while.

The high priest put his hands behind his back, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Elyse.All the bonfires lit near the camp in the distance were reflected in his eyes and kept dancing.

As soon as Aili Xi said about the situation of Tefnut's envoy, Senmut immediately frowned.

"It doesn't look like he's under a spell...does it?" Elysee said.

In Viola's camp, she had carefully observed whether the Rain God envoy was breathing, and even tried to listen to the heartbeat - the conclusion was that there was none.So Viola was right when she said she didn't look like she was alive.

But the condition of the Angel Tefnut was not quite the same as those people she had seen before who had been under the curse, she did not turn into a shriveled mummy.And the most important thing is that she maintained her personality when she was alive - love brain, girlish heart.

Otherwise, her husband, the divine envoy of Shushen, no matter how artificially subdued his wits, he would not be unable to discover the abnormality of his wife.

Senmut was the perfect person for her to ask for advice on this issue.

Because she remembered very clearly that there was a sentence in the title of God Tut, the god of knowledge and wisdom: the god who masters the mystery of immortality.

If the Angel of Tefnut is really the undead, then Senmut should be very clear.

"Do you want to ask the Angel of Tefnut?"

Senmut raised his head to the sky and asked in a flat tone.

Alicia: Of course I know!

"When I first became the Blessed One of God Tut, there was such an envoy who once asked me about the mystery of immortality—"

Ailixi immediately began to count with her fingers. When the high priest first became a favored person of God, it must have been at least eight, no, nine years ago.It has been so long.

"Due to my limited knowledge at the time, I only gave her some rather vague answers."

"Theoretically speaking, it is possible to become undead. But she should not be completely."

"From what you said, this envoy is physically dead. But her soul still insists that she is still alive."

"When the body dies, the soul thinks it is still alive?"

Ellich immediately recalled seeing Tefnut's envoy taking a selfie in front of the water, looking as beautiful as a flower, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"First of all, she has a strong spiritual will and does not want to die."

"Secondly, she has a high personality and powerful abilities. You also said that she is an envoy of God."

"The third and most important point, no one will remind her to think about this." Senmut explained to Erich one by one.

Alicia lowered her head and thought: Indeed.The envoy of Tefnut loves her husband deeply, even if his mind degenerates and becomes a little old man with a mind like a child, she will never leave him.

In addition, the two of them were withdrawn, solitary, and both were envoys of the gods. Among the people looking up to them, no one would think of reminding them to think about whether to live or die.

No wonder, when Biola suggested various mechanical inventions to the Angel of Tefnut.

Whether it's a water vapor collector or a water wheel, this rain god envoy always doesn't care much—in fact, she doesn't need to elevate her status anymore, because she, in fact, is... dead?

"ah--"

Alixi let out a soft cry, and she suddenly thought of Biola.

"Master Senmut, thank you for your answer. But I must first excuse me."

She lifted the hem of her linen robe, stepped firmly, and walked towards Urania.As soon as the latter saw her like this, he also ran up to support Ailixi.

Senmut was left alone under the stars.

Looking at Alicia's leaving figure, he murmured, "I still feel a little problem—"

"If this is true, then this at least proves that the authority of the god Osiris has been eroded."

He looked up at the starry sky, carefully paying attention to the positions of the stars related to the authority of the god of the underworld, and the pair of handsome long eyebrows became more and more wrinkled.

When Viola heard the god's explanation, she was startled beyond measure, then her eyes turned red, and she wept softly.

She has been with the old couple for a while, and she has developed a deep relationship.

But she firmly remembered Alicia's instructions - as long as the other party didn't think about life and death, she could maintain the status quo and keep going.

Therefore, before leaving her private room, Viola carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and told herself: Grandma Yushen is not abnormal at all, she is exactly the same as us.

After repeating this three times, Viola took a deep breath, and a cheerful smile filled the corners of her lips.

She lifted the tent, walked out quickly, and said with a smile, "Sister Rain God, I'm coming!"

Now that Alicia has returned to the king's ship, she has to consider how to go to Egypt.

Her previous order was to go straight to Thebes without informing the Nomes of Upper Egypt.

But after going through this twists and turns, Erich changed her mind. She decided to notify every Nome she passed along the way, and disembark when passing through every Upper Egyptian city——

This serves three purposes:

One is that Erich believes that it is necessary to learn more about the customs and customs of the various Nomes in Upper Egypt, especially the local people's belief in gods;

The second is to take this opportunity to formally let the people of Upper Egypt know themselves;

The last point is also the most important point. After being delayed on the road for several days, the fleet really needs to be replenished.

The royal fleet immediately dispatched a small boat with a token belonging to the First Princess to deliver letters to the Nomes along the way.

After the messenger was dispatched, there has been little response from Wang Chuan's side.When we arrived at Assiut, the capital of the No.12 Nome in Upper Egypt, the city built along the river, the port was still deserted.

Erich didn't care about this, she just asked Gregor, the Queen's navigator, to arrange for the king's ship to dock, and go directly to the warehouse in Nome's capital to receive supplies like a local official.

Since the nomes in Upper Egypt always grab the royal family's wool at every turn, Elyse is determined to grab them today.

And Erich himself, together with Senmut, accompanied by Nanna and the navigator Gregor, slowly entered the city for sightseeing.

The navigator Gregor was the only one in the entire fleet who had visited Asiut, so he temporarily acted as a guide.

But he felt that he had taken on a huge responsibility.Therefore, I have been asking Erich tremblingly.

"Your Highness First Princess, your body..."

Erich's figure is already quite bloated, even wearing a loose linen robe, it can be seen clearly.

"I have no problem..." Erich supported Nanna's arm and stepped from the diving board to the trestle.She is trying to keep moving every day and avoid excess weight and hassle when unloading.

"Master High Priest, do you think so?"

Alicia deliberately turned her head to ask Senmut.

Senmut actually nodded seriously: "For a princess who is blessed by gods, of course you... have no problem."

Obviously, he wanted to say the messenger of God, but considering so many ordinary people present, he changed his words when he got to the point of his mouth.

According to Senmut's explanation earlier, being promoted to God's Messenger has better control over one's own body, and one can know the status of the card at any time without looking at the arm. In addition, it can largely avoid diseases or diseases that ordinary people may encounter. bodily harm.

As soon as Senmut finished speaking, there was a bang, and a black shadow hit the pier on the spot. In front of Alixie and his party, it was Kong Si who jumped off the mast of the king's ship.

After the pale boy startled everyone, he slowly stood up and said three words: "I'm going too."

As soon as Nanna was about to speak, Alixi stopped her. Alixi quickly winked at the God of War, telling him that she had brought enough sleeping amulets.

And Senmut also recognized Kong Si, knowing that this should be the peaceful form of Kong Si the Slayer.

It's just that he never thought that Alicia would have the courage to bring this little guy with her.

Senmut has always been very self-cultivated. At this moment, he was just surprised to see Erich orderly arrange Kongsi to follow the group at the end.He didn't say a word, and didn't ask Alicia any questions.

The group immediately followed Gregor and entered the city of Asiut.

"Please forgive me, everyone, I have only been here once, and I am not very familiar with it..."

The guide Gregor seemed extremely embarrassed, afraid of being accused of taking the wrong way, so he repeatedly emphasized.

"After all, Nome No.12 is not big, and Asiut can only be regarded as a small city, and it can't be compared with Memphis, the capital of the king..."

"so beautiful--"

The strangers who had just entered the city interrupted Gregor's introduction with neat admiration sounds.

Indeed, it is a very beautiful city.

Asiut's foundations were built on the west bank of the great river, well above the surface of the water.

There is a long flight of stairs before entering the city.This row of neat steps is actually paved with high-quality stones.

Standing on the steps and looking up at Asiut standing on the river bank, most of the buildings facing the street are built with huge stone blocks. The walls are painted with exquisite decorative patterns and flowers with extremely bright colors Green trees, vines, birds...appear regularly and alternately on the exterior walls, as is the case in every household.

Even in Memphis, few people can decorate the facade with such a generous amount.

Gregor himself also opened his mouth wide, looking at his confused eyes, he seemed to be searching desperately in his mind—is this true?Is Asiut really so beautiful?

At the first moment of witnessing this city, Erich felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.

She exchanged a look with Senmut, and both of them were full of vigilance.

Finally, the group stepped up the stairs, and the streets of Asiut appeared in front of them.There are two figures in the middle of the street, one is a tall middle-aged man with a bag on his shoulder, and a child who looks like seven or eight years old is holding his hand.

"Kalam? Hunsu?"

This time it was Alicia's turn to be surprised.

She really didn't expect to meet this father and son here.

Senmut was calm and didn't feel too surprised.

When Karam and his son heard the greeting, Qi Qi turned to look at Elyse.

Their eyes were all gray and lacked the kernels.
