save the bachelors

Chapter 4661 [Imorton]

At this moment, Ansuna did a split, then raised her spear and blocked the axe that Nefidili was chopping down.

Then she kicked up and hit Nefidili's wrist.

Nafidili felt so much pain that she couldn't hold the axe anymore and was knocked away by Ansuna.

Ansuna then jumped up and attacked Nefidili wielding a spear.

Nefidili had to retreat step by step.

"You lose, Nafidili~" Seeing this, Ansuna stopped pressing and said proudly.

Nafidili took the opportunity to snatch the spear from Ansuna.

Seeing this, Ansuna exerted force suddenly and threw Nafitili to the ground over her shoulder, then pressed the tip of her spear against Nafitili's throat.

Nafidili finally didn't dare to move anymore.

And applause broke out immediately.

"Very good, very good, and a very exciting duel." Seti I smiled, "I think I have made a decision. Nefidili, my most lovely daughter, will be responsible for protecting the Bracelet of Death. And the one who will be responsible for protecting me is Ansuna, my future wife."

Upon hearing the result, everyone present applauded again.

Xiang Nan knew this result already, so he was not surprised. Seti I would not be able to marry Ansuna anyway.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed two burning eyes looking at him.

He turned his head and saw that it was Ansuna.

The love in her eyes was so intense that it almost overflowed.

This made Xiang Nan's heart beat fast. Such a beautiful woman was indeed extremely gorgeous.

"Well fought, my daughter." At this time, Seti I stepped forward and hugged his daughter Nefidili.

Encouraged by her father, Nefidili smiled happily.

At this moment, she suddenly discovered that Ansuna's eyes were not looking at her father, but at the person next to the Pharaoh's throne - Imhotep.

She couldn't help but be stunned, her intuition told her that this matter was not simple at all.

"Congratulations to Pharaoh, His Highness Menis, Princess Nefidili, and Princess Ansuna." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "This is a perfect choice. I think the gods will approve of your choice."

"That's great. To be blessed by the gods is what I desire most." Seti I said with satisfaction, "Dear Imhotep, the wedding will be in your hands."

"Yes." Xiang Nan clasped his hands together and said.

……

Afterwards, Xiang Nan led the monks to leave the palace and return to their own temple.

Ancient Egyptians believed in polytheism, and according to incomplete statistics, there were more than 2,000 gods. However, as time passed, the names and titles of the gods changed.

For example, Ra, the sun god, one of the nine pillars of gods, was later changed to Amon, and even changed to Aten for a time; Osiris, the god of death, was changed to Anubis...

But no matter how the gods change, Xiang Nan, the high priest, and the monks under his command are the powerful class in ancient Egypt.

Because they were in charge of the power to worship gods and interpret oracles, even the pharaoh had to respect them enough, otherwise his rule would be threatened.

In addition, Egyptian writing was also in the hands of monks.

The importance of writing is well known. The inheritance of civilization, the recording of history, the promotion of technology, and the dissemination of ideas are all inseparable from writing.

But Egyptian hieroglyphics were very complex, and there were no schools at the time, so people could only go to temples to ask monks for advice if they wanted to learn writing.

In this way, monks monopolized the channels for people to rise, and naturally held great power. Just like the aristocratic families in ancient China, who monopolized high-ranking official positions because they monopolized knowledge. It was not until the promotion of printing and the rise of the imperial examination system that ordinary people had a chance to advance.

Of course, being a monk is not easy. One needs to learn many subjects such as writing, sacrifice, etiquette, literature, medicine, painting, arithmetic, astronomy, divination, architecture, etc.

Finally, the best of the best will be selected and have the chance to become the high priest.

The high priest, also known as the "servant of God", was responsible for offering sacrifices to gods, interpreting oracles, assisting the pharaoh, and managing the country... He could be said to be the number one person under the pharaoh.

……

"Close the door, I'm going to start meditating." Xiang Nan instructed his subordinates.

The monks immediately obeyed and helped to close the door.

Xiang Nan then entered the room.

He saw that his room was magnificent and luxurious, no less than Pharaoh's palace.

Unlike Buddhist monks, Taoist priests, and Christian priests, ancient Egyptian monks did not advocate abstinence.

On the contrary, they controlled a large amount of land, slaves, mines and power, and lived an extremely luxurious life. Not only did they have large houses, fine clothes and delicious food, but they could also get married, have children and reproduce.

Even in ancient Egypt, the rite of passage for girls was to offer themselves as sacrifices, because they represented God, and this meant God's blessing.

After Xiang Nan entered the room, he began to carefully examine Imhotep's abilities.

He discovered that although Imhotep was the high priest, he had no special abilities except for being smart, knowledgeable, and having certain martial arts skills.

In the movie, he was able to cause the Ten Plagues in Egypt because he was tortured by insects and his resentment was too great, so he became an evil spirit with tremendous magical powers.

He was able to resurrect Ansuna, summon monks, and Pharaoh's guards with the help of the artifact "Black Book of the Dead".

In fact, whoever holds the Black Book of the Dead can use the magic in it as long as they recite the spell.

For example, the heroine Eve resurrected Imhotep, and her son Alex resurrected her. They both held the Black Book of the Dead and recited the spell directly, and the people were resurrected.

So now Imhotep can only be regarded as a weakling.

No wonder he seemed helpless when facing seven or eight Pharaoh's guards and could only watch Ansuna die tragically.

It's not that he is cruel, but that he really has no ability.

……

Although Imhotep has no special abilities, as the high priest, he does have the ability to communicate with gods.

Amon, the sun god, Horus, the sky god, and Anubis, the god of death, all responded to his sacrifices and prayers.

"It's a pity that I don't know how strong they are. I don't know if I can defeat them?" Xiang Nan thought again.

Although those gods responded to Imhotep's sacrifices and prayers, it was only a vague response, and it was impossible to analyze the strength of those gods from it.

Xiang Nan had no intention of testing those gods.

Because the gods don't have good tempers, they don't respond often to the prayers and sacrifices of believers. Just like the messages from their licking dogs, the King of the Sea and the Queen of the Sea basically read them but don't reply.

"Confucius is right. Respect ghosts and gods but keep them at a distance." Xiang Nan pondered, "As long as they don't take the initiative to find me, I won't take the initiative to find them, so as to avoid trouble."

Judging from "The Mummy 2", the god of death Anubis is still very powerful. He can quickly create an oasis in the desert and has an army of tens of thousands of people with wolf heads and human bodies.

I just don't know if this is His strongest fighting power or just a test run.

If it was the strongest combat force, Xiang Nan would not be afraid, because he could do it. But if this was just Anubis trying his hand, then His strength should not be underestimated.

Therefore, it is best not to act rashly before you find out the details.
