Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 765 Incompetent Husband

The gates of Thebes rose in the sunlight, and on the galloping horses were guards wearing golden armor.

Under the governance of Isis, the city of Thebes, supported by the name of Osiris, developed and expanded rapidly, attracting a large influx of people from the surrounding areas.

After all, if you don't work harder now, your descendants will suffer.

Those who entered the city first would naturally exclude those who entered later. If one could build a small courtyard near the Pharaoh's Golden Temple now, one would be able to become a superior person in the future and have the opportunity to become a noble.

This is called the dividend of the times. There shouldn’t be too many people who want to be the best of the best.

Thanks to these people, Thebes' development speed can be said to be a new look every day, and there is no need for Eros to intervene at all.

All you need to do all day is live a life of extravagance in that towering palace.

And with the issuance of an order from the palace, the entire city instantly began to operate.

"Pharaoh's order! Select beautiful, young, pure women to fill Pharaoh's harem!"

The guards who rode their horses at full speed through the streets spread the order, and people instantly became excited wherever they passed.

Although this order definitely sounds like one that would be issued by a foolish and lustful tyrant, its nature is no different from forcibly robbing a woman.

But for those who dream of reaching the sky in one step, this order is like opening a corner of the glorious golden palace to them, and they can step in with just a little effort.

Since it would be too obvious to directly ask Sarah to enter the palace by name, Eros naturally issued an order to forcibly recruit women on a large scale in order to confuse the public.

However, at the suggestion of Eros, a team of guards headed straight for Abraham's settlement outside the city.

The horse's hooves broke the silence of the reeds and moved forward along the rugged road.

The sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance. Abraham put down his tillage tools and looked in the direction of the sound with some confusion and vigilance.

"Sarah, go inside first."

Abraham gave these instructions, but before Sarah could hide in the house, the guards rushed to him.

"Old man, did you move here recently?"

The leading captain of the guards looked down at Abraham, his eyes full of enthusiasm and incomprehensible emotions.

Abraham noticed that the other person's eyes were more focused on his wife Sarah behind him, but it didn't seem likely that they had any lustful intentions.

No matter what, just deal with it carefully.

Although he has angels given by God to protect him, he abides by the commandments and will not use the angels around him to attack these mortals.

Everything he encounters in this world is a test from God. Even with the protection given by God, he cannot escape this test.

"Yes, what can I do for you? We just moved to this neighborhood."

Abraham said respectfully like an ordinary old man, and at the same time took a step back to block Sarah behind him.

"Is that so? Who is that person behind you? Your daughter?"

"No, she is my sister, sir."

The guards' questioning made Abraham gradually more alert.

"She is still a virgin who has remained chaste for God. She cannot see anyone. I hope you can forgive me."

Using faith as an excuse, Abraham signaled Sarah to go back to her room quickly. After all, when it came to God's words, these bullies would retreat a little bit.

But the development of the matter was beyond his expectation. The leader gave a signal, and several guards blocked Sarah's way back to the house. "Wait a minute, you just said that she was a virgin, right?"

Several guards surrounded the two men, with malicious expressions on their faces, and they did not back down at all because of the involvement of God.

"I am announcing to you the order from Pharaoh, the pardon from the only king of this land!"

"Your sister meets the Pharaoh's requirements for selection of a concubine. We must follow Pharaoh's orders and bring her back to the palace."

"Be thankful, your sister has the potential to become the Pharaoh's concubine, and you can rise to the top because of this!"

Although it was a celebration, these people had no intention of letting Abraham refuse. Instead, they surrounded Sarah and tried to put her on the carriage.

The panicked Sarah quickly looked at her husband, hoping that he could help her out.

The captain of the guards was also looking at Abraham, with his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Even if he refused, it would be meaningless. These people obviously had no intention of asking Abraham's opinion and wanted to force him back from the beginning.

Then, this mortal sword was completely meaningless to Abraham, God's chosen people.

In the void that mortals cannot perceive, a glorious figure waving flaming wings is approaching.

The noble angels have surrounded this place when no mortal can see them. With just a flap of their wings, they can destroy all these mortals.

But could Abraham do it? Would he do such a thing?

Under the hopeful gaze of his wife, Abraham looked into the eyes of the haughty guard.

This kind of thing can be done easily with just a wave of the hand.

"Well... please let my sister go. She has made a vow and there is no way she can become the Pharaoh's concubine."

After a moment of silence, Abraham chose a request that was unlikely to impress the other party.

It's not because he's afraid of trouble, but because he has to abide by the commandments, prohibit killing, and cannot show God's power in front of mortals.

Even if his own wife had to be taken away and endure this level of humiliation, he would continue to observe the precepts.

Everything in this world is a test given by God. You must be patient.

"Humph, the Pharaoh is the representative of the gods, and he will not be bound by such an oath. Now please follow us and leave."

As expected, Abraham's request was completely ineffective. The other party completely ignored him and instead took out a bag of coins from his arms.

"This is just a deposit. If your sister is really favored by the Pharaoh, there will be countless betrothal gifts for you. Feel happy."

As they spoke, several guards brought a camel and asked Sarah to sit on it and go back to Thebes with them.

Sarah was at a loss and did not move. She just looked at Abraham, waiting for her husband's answer.

When the guards seemed to be unable to restrain themselves and take action to arrest people, Abraham finally spoke.

"Sarah...just go with them first..."

"Don't worry, all of this is just a test from God. As long as you hold on to your faith, you will be able to get through it safely."

Abraham whispered this before sending his wife away.

"Don't worry, I will pray for you too, trust me."
