The Ennead Plague was able to exterminate three-quarters of the Egyptians. Could it be that the remaining Egyptians were so noble that even the ruling class had to look at them with disdain?

Then, there is only one answer left, that is, Ozymandias, in order to keep a secret, artificially covered up the truth of the matter and threw all the stigma on the Enneads.

“How ridiculous…” Nitocris’ fingers trembled, but she remained stubbornly silent.

"What was the cause of that natural disaster?"

Nitocris didn't want Hebe to be able to answer this question. She even hoped that Hebe would never know the answer to this question. When she said this, she even hoped to see Hebe stumped by this question.

'Stop talking, stop talking...' Pharaoh pleaded in his heart.

However, it backfired.

Heber lowered his eyelids. "Just as throwing a stone creates ripples on the surface of water, and digging up the soil leaves a mark, everything that happens leaves a mark. The heroes of the Daylight Realm are able to form a mark, and that's how it works."

She thought of Andon's performance in Cape Flying Bird, and everything she had learned from the many simulations.

Therefore, the answer is actually very simple - the nine rulers in the wilderness were antagonistic to each other for some reason, and the aftermath had a huge impact on the world.

Because they are in power and in charge of different areas, natural disasters will also have different natures. This is the disaster of the Nine Pillar Gods.

And soon, a more fatal problem was pointed out by Heber.

Different governments have different paths to follow, and there may even be serious conflicts.

For example, the authoritarian path of Scar Father, the ruler of February, and the disastrous path of Canlang, the ruler of August, are incompatible, presenting an extremely harsh opposition.

The rulers of the authoritarian path will spare no effort to suppress and destroy the rioters of the disaster path; and the followers of the disaster path will also try their best to subvert the rule of the authoritarian path and destroy his kingdom.

Arthur and Morgan are this kind of opposition.

Therefore, when natural disasters with the power of the Nine Pillars God appear in an area at the same time, they will first conflict with each other and then cancel each other out.

Heber had conducted this experiment more than once in previous simulations.

She personally brought about various natural disasters, but the predicted destruction did not occur.

Want these natural disasters to work together to encircle the Egyptians? Unless someone is performing a ritual to deliberately prolong the duration of the natural disasters, expand the scope of their impact, and adjust the order of their appearance... And who else can do this except the Red King Ozymandias?

In the deathly silence, Nitocris felt her breathing becoming increasingly labored. What made her feel even more painful and tormented was what Hebe said.

Nitocris realized that she had been suspicious of the Red King's actions long before Hebe said these words.

The dissatisfaction and struggle have not disappeared over the long time, but have become like a smoldering fire, burning more and more fiercely.

And in this gloomy despair, Hebe calmly reached out his hand, brushed the edge of Nitocris's eyes, and wiped away the cold tears.

"I'm crying...?"

Nitocris reached out her hand blankly, realizing that her closed heart had already made a judgment at some point.

"Everything will be fine," Heber whispered. "Everything will be fine. Everything will be in order."

Heber's voice was neither loud nor passionate.

Her eyes revealed a transcendent calmness, which in Nitocris's eyes was a speechless certainty.

At that moment, Nitocris almost wanted to reach out and smooth out Heber's slightly furrowed brow.

At that moment, Nitocris repeated Heber's promise over and over again in her heart.

ps: The next chapter will be a little later

Volume 32: I am Eamon Hetep, what is my relationship to Merlin?

Hebe led the Thebans out of Egypt, thus preserving Egypt's de facto bloodline.

The divinity of Bethel would follow them eastward, so that it could survive even after leaving the land of Egypt.

But at the same time, she ordered Seno to establish an organization called the "Temple of Silence" and build temples in many places inside and outside Memphis. Under the banner of preserving knowledge, they were actually building shelters that could withstand natural disasters.

In the eyes of those in the know, Hebe's decision was equally confusing: Did she want to take people across the Red Sea? Or did she want to find an oasis suitable for survival in Egypt as an ark?

Hebe often thought of a novel from his previous life, which described a kind of people called Wallfacers.

They only formulate strategic plans based on their own thinking and do not communicate with the outside world in any form. What they do is just a disguise for their true intentions.

Now, isn't Hebe also a wall-facer? She must hide her true intentions beneath the surface.

The person Hebe wanted to deceive was Ozymandias, the pinnacle of the Egyptian secret system, the god-king who transcended "Twilight", maintained his self in the position of "Red Star" for hundreds of years, and reigned over the Great Red Sand Sea.

This is why the more complex the plan, the more likely it is to have loopholes.

Especially when she was right under Ozymandias's nose.

'Ozymandias has been able to influence all of the Ennead's curses on his own,' Hebe thought indifferently, 'but he doesn't know that I have already seen most of his cards.'

Thinking of this, Hebe said, "Not all of the Ennead's calamities are caused by the absence of a ruler. There is at least one ruler who will spare no effort to destroy Egypt."

"Who?" Nitocris's long ears perked up.

"Seth, or August Ruler, the Wolf." Heber said a name.

Set is the ancient Egyptian god of power, war, desert, storm and foreign countries. He once competed with Osiris for authority, usurped power through conspiracy, and was defeated in the war with Horus.

Just as Horus is the incarnation of Scar Father, Set is the incarnation of the Crippled Wolf.

Considering that the noble blood of the Pharaoh lineage is the authoritative inheritance of Horus, it is very reasonable for the Canglang to seek the destruction of the Horus Empire.

If there is any natural disaster among the Nine Pillars of the Gods that cannot be manipulated by Ozymandias, it is obviously not the "Breath of Set"...but this is not the case.

The full name of the Red King is the god-king who reigns over the Great Red Sand Sea, the oases, and the entire Upper and Lower Egypt.

In other words, when Ozymandias abandoned the title of "Pharaoh" and instead called himself the "Red King", he was already on the same side as the Canlang.

This is the most ironic thing in the world.

Heber did not express this horrible conjecture aloud, but Nitocris had already thought of it herself.

Her face turned pale and her body seemed to be shaking, but Heber reached out to support her shoulders and pressed her palm with his other hand, and the warmth between their palms was transmitted to each other.

"Don't be afraid, we'll take it slow."

Nitocris was silent. She didn't dare look at Hebe, for fear that the girl would realize her inner weakness. So she turned her head and looked into Anubis's moist eyes.

The jackal nudged Nitocris's hand docilely.

It was once defeated by Set's might and degraded from an independent beast god to a descendant of Set. But it always loved Egypt and the people who lived in this land.

It remembers the simple human beings who celebrated the flooding of the river, the years when they sowed seeds and harvested abundantly in the fertile soil, the cries of newborns in countless years, and the sighs of the elderly in their dying moments.

It remembered the bright-eyed child who broke off half of the meat pie handed to it when it came from the wilderness... Yes, it will do good deeds, whether it is to Set or to raise the banner of rebellion against the tyrannical king.

Anubis has always been a god to the Egyptians.

Then, Nitocris mustered up the courage to reach out her hand.

Her palm was large and cold, and she wrapped Heber's hand in her own.

Nitocris said softly, "I will walk with you and those you trust, from now on, and into the distant future."

Heber was a little surprised: "Is this the contract with Anubis?"

"No, Imma. This is my contract."

Nitocris answered.

Heber breathed a sigh of relief: she finally had the most important bargaining chip in her hand.

The lines on the palm of her hand twisted, forming words that only she could see.

"'Magic Queen' Nitocris is a pharaoh who knows both spells and the underworld. She seeks a proper and peaceful death, but don't underestimate her determination to fulfill her wishes."

Ozymandias has embarked on the wrong path, and you will commit an act of rebellion, like every other betrayal in history, nothing new under the sun.

……

It was already evening.

But Hebe's plan was not yet finalized. She calmly knocked on the table, and bright words like hammers and chisels lit up one by one in her vision.

【Establish an association】

After she was promoted from visitor privileges, more features of the simulator were unlocked one by one.

This function is not limited to the real world... From the beginning, Heber intended to use it in simulation.

She was very curious. Since the chessboard she carved in the simulation could be passed down to future generations, could the secret society she founded continue like the former?

The dark green desktop unfolded in Heber's consciousness. The golden words "Establish an Association" disappeared, and an empty card slot appeared. Then several cards appeared from the mist, like stars hanging high in the sky.

[Acquaintance "Arthur"], [Follower "Mastema"].

To establish a esoteric society, you need either an acquaintance or a believer, one of the two choices.

Miss Mostima was obviously of no use in her current situation, and the answer left for Heber was obvious.

Heber's palms were slightly sweaty. Even when he met with the Red King and negotiated with Nitocris before, he had never been so nervous.

She exhaled.

"I am Imenhotep now, what does that have to do with Merlin?"

The card [Acquaintance "Arthur"] flew into the card slot, and the translucent clock began to rotate silently.

As the clock ticks down, a brand new card appears.

[Association headquarters].

Invisible brushstrokes traced across the card, outlining neatly arranged bookshelves, counters displaying antiques, glass cases preserving fossils, and windows draped with velvet curtains.

In front of the large desk, thirteen pure white candles burned quietly, flickering like starlight.

Light grey mist flowed between these scenes, bringing an indescribable weirdness and mystery to the entire esoteric cult headquarters.

This is a scene that Heber is very familiar with - Fox Lily Thrift Store.

As the card glowed, she returned to the "Fox Lily Thrift Store" and sat down at the large desk again!

The next moment, a candle flickered slightly, and a familiar figure appeared in front of the large desk.

......

In this world, deep inside Buckingham Palace, in the palace where the Iron Throne is located.

This simple yet solemn palace is made entirely of steel, but at its four corners are shrines like fireplaces - these four shrines contain not statues of gods, but flames.

These four flames have no fuel, yet they continue to rise: one is a cold blue-black, the second is a blazing white-incandescent color, the third is a dim yellow that expands and contracts unsteadily, and the fourth is a quietly burning red.

The February ruler, Scarf Father, is a righteous deity wielding authority, his symbol being cold steel. He favors permanent rule and is pleased to see unchanging rule become permanent.

However, King Arthur knew that eternal rule was tantamount to suicide, and even the most moderate reform was better than static perfection.

To some extent, King Arthur betrayed the commandments of Scar's father, but she did not fall from the earthly royal power. The authority of the royal family of Albion was divided, but King Arthur himself rose higher and higher.

All this was because she implemented the teachings of another ruler, "Tian Sui".

However, everyone knows that the person who actually facilitated King Arthur's transformation was Merlin Ambrosius.

According to legend, Merlin is a nightmare sage who knows the knowledge of woodlands, wastelands and light. She has saved Albion from danger many times, but disappeared in the lake on the eve of King Arthur bestowing her the honor of Queen of Albion.

The stories about Merlin, Arthur and Morgan are always anecdotes that the people of Albion enjoy talking about. The plots and developments of the stories vary, but the endings are basically the same.

——King Arthur regretted this deeply, and until now, he has been looking forward to the return of his queen.

At this moment, the Eternal King who ruled over all of Albion, who appeared in one of the few [Dusks] in the world, yawned silently.

She felt a little sleepy.

When Arthur opened his eyes again, he found that he was no longer sitting on the Iron Throne.

All around were bookshelves filled with neatly arranged classics, and counters filled with antiques. Bluish-purple velvet curtains hung down, and cobalt blue starlight streamed in through the gap in the only window.

Light gray mist flows on the ground like a river.

Thirteen pure white candles flickered, and behind the large desk was a figure whose entire body was shrouded in gray mist.

"Greetings, king of the future," the figure said with a smile. "I am Emenhotep. I spoke to you three thousand years ago."

Volume 33: Promises Across History

"Greetings, king of the future, I am Imonhotep, and I speak to you three thousand years ago."

The white candlelight flickered, and Hebe looked at Arthur through the candlelight curtain.
