Ye Ting still appreciates what Heliopolis has done.

However, perhaps it is for this reason that in the future, the Heliopolis god system will gradually be replaced by the Hermopolitan god system, and the god Amon will rise as the main god, replacing the rule of the sun god Ra.

Chapter 0804 Egyptian Royal Family Gossip

A journey in the desert is extremely boring.

Because the scenery here is always the same, no matter where you go, there is only sand, sand, or sand.

Apart from the occasional cactus, there is hardly any other scenery in the desert.

Looking for sand scorpions, scarabs, and sand snakes that twist sideways and leave wonderful lines in the desert are one of the few pleasures for travelers in the desert.

However, since joining Necht's caravan, Ye Ting had one more fun, that is, asking Necht for information about Egypt's customs.

As a businessman, Neht is one of the few Egyptians who can travel around. Although he is not a high-ranking official, he can be regarded as a person who knows all parts of Egypt well.

So, as a traveler who just arrived in Egypt, Ye Ting had this opportunity and naturally regarded him as his source of intelligence.

And out of respect for the "noble" Ye Ting, Necht asked Ye Ting some questions that were naive even in his opinion.

At the same time, he became more and more convinced of Ye Ting's identity as a foreign traveler.

After all, he asked some questions, as long as the Egyptians knew it, the young man in front of him was very knowledgeable, but he didn't know anything about it. Obviously, he didn't stay in Egypt for a long time.

Because of this, Necht became more and more admired for Ye Ting.

"Mr. Thoth is really amazing to have the courage to travel to a foreign country alone," Necht complimented, "Mr. Thoth must be a very capable person, or else he won't be able to travel alone. Knowing that these days, even in Egypt, there is a lot of chaos."

"Oh, what do you say?" Ye Ting asked curiously.

"Well, you are a foreign traveler, no wonder you don't know anything, in fact, Egypt has been in chaos for a long time," Necht explained, "Originally, Egypt was the most powerful and territorial among the nations. The most expansive and most peaceful kingdom, but I heard my grandfather say that since Pharaoh Pepi ruled Egypt, everything has changed. Grandpa often said that His Royal Highness Pharaoh Pepi is too weak, and the governors of the states simply do not listen In his words, each state has its own policies, and some even have their own troops and collect their own tolls."

"It's terrible."

"Yeah, from that time onwards, all the caravans had a bad time. After Pharaoh Pepi died a few years ago, the situation became worse. We traded all over Egypt, and most of the income was handed over to those governors. Today, prices are very high all over Egypt. Some citizens can't even buy spices."

For the Egyptians, spices have always been a commodity in great demand, and even women among the commoners are willing to put a handful of sesame oil on their hair.

"So, there are many who can't survive?"

"You're right," Nicht nodded, "My grandfather heard my great-grandfather say that they didn't have that many sand thieves at that time, but now, we have to bring a few strong ones when we go out. slave guards."

Ye Ting looked at the nearby slaves. Indeed, several of them were very tall. They were not comparable to ordinary slaves. It could be seen from the curved-edged swords hanging on their waists that they did have enough force.

However, Ye Ting heard something strange in Necht's words.

"Your great-grandfather?"

"That's right, my great-grandfather lived through the reign of Mylaran I before Pharaoh Peppi, and Egypt was much more peaceful back then - you may not know, Pharaoh Peppi ruled for ninety-four years."

The pharaoh who can rule for ninety-four years is indeed a miracle on earth - how many successors will be killed in the process.

It seems that Peppa Pharaoh is the longest reigning king in human history.

Admiring the longevity of the pharaoh, Ye Ting asked.

"and then?"

"Then?" Necht shook his head, "After Pharaoh Pepi died, the successor was Melaran II. This pharaoh is not as weak as his father... Maybe he has been holding back for too long as an heir. Well. Although he is ambitious to do something, he is too impatient and has a lot of conflicts with those officials, which makes the whole country more and more chaotic."

Nehert's tone was sarcastic, obviously disdainful of Mailaran II.

"You mean, it's his credit that Egypt has such a situation now."

"That's right," Nehett nodded. "These big men have conflicts. It's all of us who are unlucky. Because of them, the labor and taxes in Egypt are getting heavier and heavier, and many people can't survive. But he also He paid the price for his actions."

"The price?" Ye Ting was puzzled.

"Others say that His Royal Highness Meraran II died of old age, but I don't believe it. Pharaohs have the power of gods. If there is no accident, it is possible to live as long as Pharaoh Peppa, Mylaranfa. He was only in his [-]s when he died of old age, how could he die so easily? According to the grapevine, King McLaren II was assassinated by his ministers."

"How dare these ministers dare to attack the descendants of the gods." Ye Ting sighed.

"Who said it wasn't?" Neht also sighed with emotion. "Two pharaohs died within a year, how can such Egypt not be in chaos? It's just a pity that Melaran's little wife is so young. Being a widow and being treated as a puppet - but the husband is so old, it doesn't matter if he is a widow... No, that's not right, if it's a pharaoh, it shouldn't be a common theory, after all, Pharaoh Pepi is so old Most can give birth to His Highness Pharaoh Nitocris."

When it comes to gossip about big people, even people of this era are very interested, which is similar to people in the future.

"However, who is Pharaoh Nitocris?" Although he heard the familiar name, Ye Ting still asked.

"Speaking of Pharaoh Nitocris, she is indeed one of the few good Pharaohs." Speaking of this name, Necht's words brought a little respect. This is when he was talking about Pepi and Myra. Ran II did not have the emotions, "Pharaoh Nitocris is the same as Pharaoh Melaran, both children of Pharaoh Pepi, but she is the daughter of Pharaoh Pepi, so she is very young, she is only twenty years old now, Plus, she's Queen of McLaren II."

Awesome, not only in orthopedics, but also old couples and young wives, these pharaohs are really good at playing.

Necht continued: "After the death of Pharaoh Mylaran, those ministers simply elected His Royal Highness Nitocris as the new Pharaoh—she is also the daughter of Pharaoh Pepi, but I think these ministers are just Bullying her is a little girl and easy to control."

Even ordinary businessmen know about such a thing, and it seems that Nitocris is quite miserable.

Chapter 0805 Sandstorm

It seems that it is because he has a lot of respect for Pharaoh Nitocris, or because Pharaoh Nitocris's beauty is enough to attract Nehet, and when she talks about her, the businessman is chattering.

"I once saw her on a trip from a distance. She was lying reclining under a sky tent made of golden brocade silk, and the gorgeous gold ornaments could not set off her beauty. She was more skillful than Hathor in the picture. The goddess is even more delicate and beautiful, as sacred and inviolable as the great god Horus..."

(Hator is the goddess of love and beauty in ancient Egyptian mythology, the god of wealth, the god of dance, the god of music. She cares for the common people, sympathizes with the dead, is also the protector of mothers and children, and is the wife of Horus. The ancient Greeks often compared Hathor to Aphrodite.)

"After the Nile River floods once a year, she has to personally come to the fields to sow grains and lead the people to develop production. She is a very friendly queen, and everyone respects her..."

It seems that he wanted to fully express his inner longing for the female pharaoh Nitocris. Necht seemed to be a little rambling, but Ye Ting didn't take it seriously. He still listened with a smile on his face. Regarding this female pharaoh, He is also very interested.
