The former head of the Isis Legion was the eighth-level great warrior Long Teng. He was born in a military noble family, and Huanzhang was the son of Long Teng, and he is also a great warrior now. Long Teng is almost seventy years old this year, he has been promoted to Minister of the Military Department of Eju, and he is currently in the capital.
It was not easy for Erlacht to move Long Teng and his son. They were deeply rooted in the army, and Huanzhang held a large number of soldiers. If not, they might stir up a mutiny. Pharaoh planned to recruit Long Teng into the palace first and put him under house arrest, and then forced Long Teng to write a letter to deceive Huanzhang to the capital for disposal.
Then there was unfavorable news to the Pharaoh's ears. It is said that the actions of the Cape City-State and Memphis City-State were secretly supported by the chief elder of the Eju Theological Academy and the great magician of Wald, and then aroused the support of other city-states. follow suit.
Pharaoh Eraht felt deep fear. Representatives who resisted him appeared in the bureaucracy, military and clergy. If he did not quickly suppress it with thunderous means, his real doomsday would soon come. .
The great magician Burke, who had a grievance with Amon back then, has now been promoted to the high priest of the main temple of Eju. Surprised and angry, Pharaoh sent someone to find Burke's secret merchant, and made many promises in private, hoping that Burke would play a vital role at this critical moment and do a few things for him.
…
After Burke met the Pharaoh, he returned to the temple from the palace with a gloomy expression on his face. The confidant priest asked him what he had talked with Pharaoh? Burke was silent for a long time before replying: "Your Majesty is crazy!"
That confidant has been with Burke for many years, and he is absolutely trustworthy. He frowned and said: "The situation is very clear now. More than a dozen city-states have promulgated the oracle of An-La, but everyone returned it to the monarch. To save face, I didn’t say anything about Pharaoh’s secret order to destroy the records of the oracle. If your majesty is wise, you should go ahead and admit the oracle, officially promulgate it in the form of a kingdom decree, and then announce that you will change your name and abdicate. Perhaps there is another one retreat."
Burke smiled bitterly and said, "Admit that the oracle is unstoppable, but you want the pharaoh to abdicate? You think this is the only way out for the pharaoh, but His Majesty himself doesn't think so. Is it a good end? Your Majesty will have to struggle to the death, even if his life is lost and he is cursed by the gods, he will drag the rebels to be buried with him! What's more, he is still thinking about how to restore the situation, plotting with me how to suppress it."
The confidant took a breath and said, "Your Majesty is really crazy! Is he going to deal with Long Teng and his son, Rod Dick, and even the great magician Wald? If you plan to implement this matter, you will be buried with Pharaoh It's not them, it's you!"
Burke sighed: "Of course I understand, so it's time to make a decision."
The confidant reminded with worry: "I think when you were the high priest of the Temple of Isis, Amon had just arrived in Eju, and the great magician Julian sent someone to hunt him down. There was a secret letter to you later. It fell into the hands of Maria. You have old grievances with Amon, if you don’t support Pharaoh at this time, what should you do?”
Burke narrowed his eyes: "I'm not really sorry for Amon. If you can't let go of this festival, how can he be called a god? There is one thing you must be clear about. An-La did promulgate Oracle, I am a priest, I can only do what I have to do, not to mention that Eraht is doomed? Whether it is a wise choice or my own duty, I cannot support Pharaoh."
The confidant asked again: "My lord, what can I do for you?"
Burke pondered and said: "Go to Mengfeisi immediately to meet the Lord Tu Yang and General Huanzhang, and at the same time stop Rod Dick on the way and pass on my message. Rod Dick should have already set off for the capital. , and General Huanzhang will come soon. Pharaoh is still in control of the imperial guards in the royal capital, and there are some things that cannot be acted rashly. I will go to the Minister of Military Affairs Long Teng according to the pharaoh's wishes, and put him under house arrest for Huanzhang write a letter."
…
Rod Dick received the order and called him to report his duties in the capital city of Des and enter the palace to meet Pharaoh. Chief Priest Yi Bin's guess was right. Erlacht wanted to trick Rod Dick into controlling the capital before he could deal with it. The consequences of this trip are unpredictable. Some people suggested that Rod Dick pretend to be sick, while others suggested that he simply set off with the An-La Legion.
Rod Dick shook his head and said, "Since I have made up my mind, I will face it. Everyone knows that I have just been promoted to a great warrior, so why pretend to be sick? Just go, I just promulgated an oracle, and I didn't treason. Can you mobilize the garrison without authorization? You don’t have to worry about me, I have contacted many officials in various city-states and capitals, and I know what to do.”
Mei Danzuo asked him: "My lord, have you decided to go to the capital?"
Rod Dick nodded and said, "Yes, we're leaving tomorrow!"
George smiled and said, "Medan Zuo and I will accompany you. Naturally, the An-La Legion is difficult to mobilize, but the city lord can't do without his personal companions."
Rod Dick left the cape city-state with more than ten entourages, walked along the official road, received hospitality from the officials of the city-states along the way, talked about many things in public and privately, and Medanzo and George also accompanied them all the way. Rod Dick met Lord Daya-Tuyang and General Huanzhang in the city-state of Memphis, and also received a secret report from Burke.
Huanzhang had just received a letter from his father, Long Teng, asking him to meet him in the capital, so he and Rod Dick went together, starting from Memphis City and taking a boat along the Ronnie River. When officials like them transited the border, there were naturally various official entertainment receptions along the way. Now is an extraordinary period, and this kind of reception has added many subtle meanings.
On the surface, the two adults were calm as usual, but they were going to the capital for business and private affairs respectively. They came along the Roni River, but they brought the undercurrent of the entire Eju to surge.
…
His Majesty the Pharaoh sent the High Priest Burke to lead the guards to "greet". Rod Dick and Huanzhang were placed under house arrest as soon as they entered the city. According to Burke, His Majesty left these two adults to discuss important matters with the king. .
Immediately afterwards, one of the three most important sacrificial ceremonies in Eju will come. According to the usual practice, the high priest in charge of presiding over the ceremonies will call important officials and the elders of the Academy of theology to discuss the matters of the ceremonies and report the results to the Pharaoh. Some important arrangements still need to be decided by Pharaoh himself.
There are three high priests in the main temple of Eju, and the most important sacrificial ceremonies are also three times a year. Each time, the pharaoh leads the officials to preside over the sacrifice, and the three high priests take turns to preside over the ceremony. This time it happened to be Burke's turn. Pharaoh handed over one of the most elite palace guards to Burke to command, and gave Burke a list, intending to take these people one by one by taking advantage of the opportunity to convene all the officials and the elders of the Academy of Theology to discuss the ceremony. Next, the most important of which is Wald.
The pharaoh rushed back to the city of Des from the new capital after receiving the news that Rod Dick had issued an oracle without authorization. The name was to sacrifice the grand ceremony, but secretly he had already laid a net and was waiting to close it. His reaction could not be described as unpleasant, and his methods could not be described as ruthless, and he had even thought of different ways to deal with various rebels.
Long Teng and his son can't be killed for the time being, and they will be conferred titles. They will find an excuse to take them to Xindu and put them under house arrest. They will promote the generals of other families to become the commanders of the Isis Legion and the An-La Legion, and they will also appoint a new Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire. Wald was old, and he declared to the outside world that the great magician had been summoned by the gods and had completed his life, and he held the highest standard sacrificial ceremony. As for Rod Dick, he is troublesome and must be executed on a proper charge!
…
This day was the day when Burke convened everyone to discuss matters concerning the grand ceremony. The pharaoh received constant reports in the palace, and everyone came to the place where Burke was discussing matters in the temple. Everyone who should go has gone, and the arrangements that should be made have been made, and there is no unusual movement outside. No movement is the best movement, indicating that everything is going smoothly.
That night, Pharaoh sent out all his servants and waited for something in the bedroom. His mood was restless, and Burke should send someone to report the result. But there was no latest news until nightfall, and Pharaoh couldn't sit still, and was about to send someone to inquire, when he suddenly heard the footsteps of a group of people outside the palace!
Who broke into the bedroom at night? The servants would never make such a sound, and the guards patrolling the palace couldn't have lined up to arrive here! Erlakht hurriedly shouted to the left and right, but no one responded, and even the two great court magicians who were in charge of protecting him disappeared without a sound.
At this moment, the pharaoh heard the high priest of Burke shouting loudly outside the door of the palace: "Wald, the chief elder of the Eju Theological Academy, lead the high priests and the elders of the Theological Academy, Long Teng, the Minister of Military Affairs, and lead Huanzhang!" The two legion commanders, Dick, have an audience with His Majesty, and have important matters to discuss with His Majesty!"
Upon hearing these words, Pharaoh Eraht felt his hands and feet were cold, his mind was buzzing, and his whole body was numb, as if something was going away, draining all his strength. What kind of audience is this? The rebel who was originally thought to be a prisoner was brought to the door of the bedroom by Burke at this moment.
…
A bloodless palace coup took place in Ecu. Its planner was Burke, one of the three high priests of the kingdom. Eraht announced his abdication in the middle of the night. Special became the new pharaoh.
The name Tutanhat was given by Erlacht, which means "heir to the glory of Seth". Erlacht's daughter. After Tutanhat succeeded to the throne, he changed his name to Tutankhamun, which means "Guardian of the Glory of Amun".
The name of the new pharaoh is naturally to echo the oracle of An-Ra, symbolizing the recognition of the status of the main god of the Kingdom of Amun, and at the same time, the God of Amon also inherited and replaced An-Ra in the sacrifices in the world. Immediately after the sacrificial ceremony came, the ministers of Eju "reported" all this to the gods at the ceremony, and Tutankhamun officially succeeded to the throne.
There were also major adjustments in the top management of the Ecu. Rod Dick was promoted to prime minister and was the assistant minister next to the young new pharaoh. Rod Dick wanted to decline, but George said to him: "Humility is a virtue, and willingness to take responsibility is another virtue, and responsibility is often more difficult than humility." Rod Dick thought about it and accepted it happily. this new position.
Long Teng retired and returned to his hometown, Huanzhang was promoted to Minister of Military Affairs, Burke was still the high priest of the kingdom, and was promoted to the chief high priest. Yi Bin, the former chief priest of the cape city-state, was promoted to the chief high priest of the Temple of Amon in Memphis City, and still concurrently served as the chief priest of the An-La Legion. The Temple of Seth has become history, and the Temple of Isis is now known as the Temple of Amun.
Some people regard Amon and An-Ra as the same god, and call him "Amon-Ra", and some priests canceled the connector in the title of An-Ra when writing divine texts, and wrote it as "Allah" . In the official sacrificial ceremony of Eju, the priests called the name of the main god Amon from now on!
Rod Dick, Burke and others did not kill the king on the spot, Erlacht lived a life of confinement in the deep palace, and finally died of depression. His soul was also summoned into Hades, but Hades was already the hell created by Amon at that time.
…
On the day when the sacrificial ceremony was held in the city of Dis, and the new pharaoh Tutankhamun officially announced his succession, Amon, who had just been worshiped as the main god of the kingdom in the coup, was walking on the outskirts of Memphis City. The water waves are rippling and the cool breeze is blowing, the boats sailing around are constantly shuttling, and the smoke from cooking is rising from the sky above the farm in the distance.
It looked like Amon was on an outing, but what he was stepping on was the waves on the Roni River. The boats passed by, but the boatmen couldn't see the god who walked on the waves.
There is another god beside Amon, who walks arm in arm with Artemis. The wind caressed the Artemis silver gauze-like robe, depicting her beautiful figure, and the green shawl fluttered in the wind, gently touching Amon's cheeks from time to time.
Amon looked at the crowds on both sides of the river, and asked Artemis: "Revisiting the old place, Goddess Best, how do you feel?"
Artemis covered her mouth with a smile and said, "You call me Best at this time?"
Amon: "If it wasn't for Best, why would we go to Hades?"
Artemis held Amon's arm tightly: "It's for the god Amon! If Osiris doesn't accept your guidance, how will you integrate the kingdom of Allah? Oh, I almost forgot, Allah will soon be your name."
Amon changed the topic and said: "I am still the main god of the Nine-United God System, and I can allow you to enter the Nine-United God's Domain, but according to the oath of joining the God System, when a god outside the God System challenges a god of the same God System as me, For example, if you challenge Osiris, I cannot help you. What should you do if you want to settle accounts with Osiris when you enter Hades?"
Artemis turned his head and glanced at him: "Are you worried that I won't be Osiris' opponent?"
Amon: "In terms of magic power, I can't tell who is stronger and who is weaker. In terms of achievement, you are above Osiris. If you fight in another place, you must win. But if it is in Hades, he can use Your power is much stronger than yours. Although you are the creator, there are some methods that cannot be used by humans. As long as he stands on the balance that the artifact turns into, you must not be an opponent. The former goddess Best should be very clear about this. a little."
Artemis smiled coquettishly: "That's why I want to bring you together. According to the oath of the gods, if I challenge Osiris, you can't help me. But if you challenge Osiris, I can help you." Ah! I think this oath is the funniest agreement between the gods."
Amon also laughed and said: "It's funny, but it's not unreasonable. The problem of a god system must start from the inside, otherwise how can you find a god to take the lead?"
Artemis blinked mischievously: "I found it, it's still the main god!"
Amon turned to look at her: "It's not that you found it, but you met it."
Artemis: "If you fight Osiris in Hades and you can't beat him..."
Amon interrupted her and said, "You underestimate me too!"
Artemis smiled again, put his cheek on Amon's shoulder and said, "Then I just came to see the fun."
Amon couldn't help but rubbed her hair with his cheek: "Just like Schrödinger before, I fight, and you help watch the fun? If I can't beat him, just call the kitten to run?"
Artemis asked with a smile, "Can you shout?"
Amon replied: "I am not going to the Hades to duel with Osiris, but to prove an achievement. I will use my kingdom of heaven to integrate the kingdom of Allah and Anu. Before that, I must use Heaven and hell merge into the underworld of Osiris. You can do one thing in the world, but you can do another thing in the eternal eternity.”
Artemis asked in surprise, "Heaven and hell?"
Amon smiled: "Don't you want to watch the excitement? Then just wait and see!"
While talking, they had come to the lower delta of the Roni River, where the endless river spread out in a fan shape. It was not the season of flooding, and a large area of tidal flats appeared near the mouth of the sea, dividing the Roni River into many complex tributaries. One of the tributaries has steep tidal flats on both sides, the river is very deep, and the flow is extremely fast but hardly makes a sound.
Amon and Artemis no longer walked on foot, they stood quietly on the water and went with the current, before disappearing into the sunlight suddenly. They entered the space enchantment of Hades, the river is still the same river, but the river seems to be flowing backwards, the sky and the earth are like a silent painting, the river forks in front, and there is a piece of land in the middle.
Amon held Artemis' hand and lifted his foot, as if touching this silent world, the two of them seemed to jump out of the painting and boarded the river bank. Hearing a roar, a tall giant dog with three heads appeared in front of the two gods. As soon as it saw Amon, it fell to the ground and rolled into the appearance of a young man, wearing golden armor and holding a A long barbed whip.
He put away his long whip and saluted: "Lord God, are you here to find the God of Underworld?"
Artemis stood beside Amon, pointed at him and said, "Typhon, do you still recognize me?"
Typhon was stunned: "This goddess, who are you?"
Artemis replied: "In the past, I stood in your position to guard the gate of Hades and receive the undead in God's Domain. At that time, my name was Best."
