People are in the moon, The Sims - #127 - Chapter 127

There is no shame at all, and he still continues to enjoy himself in the dream. To a certain extent, it has explained the inner attitude of this pharaoh. As the saying goes, it is easy to change the country, but it is hard to change the nature. No matter how you look at it, this pharaoh will not be able to The kind of person who strives to make progress in the remaining years. In this case, there is no problem in judging him now.

What’s more, attacking the mummy of the former Pharaoh is already considered a serious crime. This sin will not change in any way because of the identity of the man in front of him, nor will it be alleviated because of his regret. The origin of the mummy is Osiris. , the pharaoh’s mummy was stolen or even shipped out of the country. To some extent, it was a challenge to Osiris’s dignity and power.

After the end of the Age of Gods in Egypt, you can do whatever you want, and the gods will never stop you. But now that you are still under the rule of the gods, you should abide by these laws.

Just like the current pyramid, it still has a white shell and a bright golden top that reflects light. After the ancient Egyptian dynasty declined, the pyramid gradually became mottled with the times and years.

“Where is this? Who are you?”

After Ptolemy XII reacted, he directly showed the majesty that a pharaoh should have. In such a dangerous situation, the nobility of his identity may indeed hit the enemy in front of him and tell the person in front of him that he is not good. Yes, sometimes this approach can also cause counter-effects, which is the desire for revenge on people in front of the machine.

As the Pharaoh who sits at the top of the Egyptian power structure, any of his actions may cause his subordinates to have an impact on other people. We should have heard of this truth. When a piece of grass condenses pesticides, according to the layers of the food chain, The rise will eventually gather in the human body, and the resentment towards the Pharaoh is poison to a certain extent.

The resentment of the people at the bottom towards Egypt will gradually condense on the Pharaoh. For these people, as long as they can cause certain harm to the Pharaoh, it can be regarded as revenge for themselves.

When Ptolemy Twelve didn’t know what was going on around him, it was really irrational to reveal his identity now. Of course, now that Saitum came to the door, he naturally confirmed the identity of this guy.

“Ptolemy Twelve, the guilty man, in the name of the God of Judgment, issues an ultimatum to your fate.”

“ha?”

The young man in front of him, Ptolemy Twelve, opened his mouth slightly, with a look of confusion on his face, as if he hadn’t yet realized what was going on. Maybe he is still wondering why this development occurred in his dream.

Chapter 445: What can you sacrifice for Egypt?

“What are you talking about? Where is my beauty? Where is my glory and wealth? This is my dream. You unknown guy, disappear for me quickly!! Give me back my beauty and my glory and wealth!! “

Saitum shook his head and pointed forward lightly. Golden nails suddenly appeared from under the earth and penetrated directly into the palm of Ptolemy Twelve. Golden scarabs flew over one after another and turned into The golden blade pierced the pharaoh’s body. This was probably the so-called Lingchi punishment.

“Are you quiet? Have you calmed down? Have you figured out your position? You are not a pharaoh here now, you are just a guilty soul who has obtained the result of the trial in advance.”

Saitum stretched out his hand forward and pinched the forehead of the pharaoh in front of him. In the palm of his hand, the image of the hippopotamus goddess had been imprinted on the pharaoh’s forehead. By then, this guy would go down to the underworld. There is no need for a trial, no confession, and his filthy soul will be eaten directly.

This mark is deeply imprinted on the soul. After the soul of Ptolemy Twelve was so traumatized, the soul fell directly into a deep sleep. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, in reality, this Pharaoh just did something Nightmare, and then fell asleep peacefully. When he wakes up, he probably won’t remember what happened in the dream.

After doing all this, Saitum did not intend to take another look at the royal girl.

I am just a witness. Whether that girl can ascend to the position of Pharaoh and whether she can bring this country back to its glory has nothing to do with Saitum. All Saitum has to do is to ensure Egypt’s safety during this period. The treasure will not be lost.

This time the residents of Egypt heard many whispers that Rome might intervene. They did not want the exiled former king to return. At that time, they sent a delegation totaling 100 people from Egypt to Rome to try to revoke Rome’s resolution to help Ptolemy’s restoration. .

However, Ptolemy XII arrested the leader of the delegation, Theo of Alexandria, before the delegation could submit its petition, and many members of the delegation were killed.

Ptolemy XII eventually paid the Roman general 10,000 talents to invade Egypt and help him regain his throne.

[In 55 BC, after defeating the border defenders of the Ptolemaic dynasty, the army of Aulus Gabinius continued to march towards the capital and palace. However, the palace guards surrendered without a fight before the battle. Ptolemy 10 The second generation was therefore restored. 】

[After Ptolemy XII was restored to power, he established her daughter Cleopatra VII as co-queen. 】

[After the restoration, his Roman creditors began to demand the recovery of their previous funds, but the treasury wealth in Alexandria was unable to pay off the king’s debts. Every time he wanted to pay with mummies, he was inexplicably blocked, so a large number of coins were issued. To pay off his debts, this inflated the kingdom’s currency, which by the end of his reign was worth 50% less than when he first came to the throne. 】

[In 51 BC, Ptolemy XII passed away. The reason why his soul had long left a mark was that before he could welcome the eternal peaceful life, his soul was directly swallowed up by the goddess. 】

[Before Ptolemy XII died, he had made his daughter Cleopatra VII a co-ruler. According to his will, his daughter Cleopatra VII and son Ptolemy XIII inherited the kingdom together. In order to ensure that his last wish would be carried out, he asked the Roman people to be the executors, but because the Senate was busy with other affairs , Pompey approved this bequest. 】

When the pharaohs changed, Setum went to Alexandria specifically. Unlike the previous capital of ancient Egypt, which was in a desert area, the Ptolemaic era placed the capital of Egypt in this port city. Today is a good day, the sun is warm, The sea breeze blows, and everyone is looking forward to the new pharaoh who can bring a new era to Egypt.

Saitum sat on the tall building, gently swaying his feet, watching the crowd scatter flowers on the road, Saitum’s golden eyes showed neither sadness nor joy.

There were a large number of Roman generals in the VIP seats. These Roman generals did not take the enthronement ceremony so seriously. Most of them seemed to be sizing up the Egyptian beauties and the gold and silver jewelry.

“The continuation of the Ptolemaic dynasty really depends on embarrassing the old man again and again. The king is so noble and mysterious, but he appears in front of the Romans as a humble supplicant. This sentence is used to describe the current Ptolemaic dynasty. The Mi Dynasty is really a perfect fit.”

When Cleopatra was about to put on her tiara, she, who could already be called a young woman, raised her head and looked into the distance. At that moment, the woman seemed to see the pair that had appeared before his eyes, but she Pale golden eyes that disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

[A few years later, Ptolemy XIII and Cleopatra fell out due to factional fighting and competition for power. 】

[The extremely ambitious Cleopatra wanted to further gain greater power, but the two ministers at that time, Pohinius and Ochchivian, united against her. 】

[After Cleopatra VII was expelled from Alexandria in 48 BC, she gathered an army along the border between Egypt and Syria, preparing to invade Egypt and compete for the Egyptian throne by force. 】

[At this time, Gaius Julius Caesar pursued Pompey to Egypt. Berdinus, a subordinate of Clodis Ptolemy XIII, killed Pompey and presented his head to Gaius Julius Caesar, in order to please him, wanted to use Caesar to get rid of his sister Cleopatra. 】

[But this move did not make him favor Caesar, and Cleopatra also wanted to take this opportunity to use Caesar to help her win the throne. 】

Cleopatra frowned slightly after listening to the report from her men, and then sighed. If she could, she really didn’t want to rely on the power of Rome to restore her rights in Egypt. Then go to Egypt’s mysterious The king’s power appeared in front of the Romans as a humble prayer, and this queen also heard it.

If we rely on Rome this time, then there may be no way to get rid of Rome’s indirect control in a short period of time in the future. But compared to that bastard brother who is so ambitious, it is possible for the whole of Egypt to be completely integrated into Rome in the future. Relying on the power of Rome does not seem to be the worst situation.

“Julius Caesar? My father said that if he wants to achieve his goals and desires, how can he not sacrifice anything? Everything is for Egypt.”

Chapter 446: Battle of Alexander

Cleopatra ordered her subordinates to dress up as a merchant and wrap herself in a large blanket. When the merchant came to Caesar’s residence to ask for an audience with him, she came out of the blanket and met with Caesar. At that time, Cleopatra was in her prime and stunningly beautiful. She used her beauty and wisdom to charm Caesar.

Cleopatra admitted that she only wanted to keep Egypt at first, and she admitted that the relationship with Caesar was nothing more than a political deal at the beginning.

But it is hard to imagine that such a girl actually fell in love with a Roman general who could be said to be entering old age in this era. For both parties, a love begins with power and the other begins with power. Although they are beautiful, they have to admit that in their hearts, only the other person seems to understand their views on the world.

It is an extremely pleasant thing to talk to a smart person, a person who has the same language and perspective as oneself. It is precisely because of this that the hearts of two people begin to move in the same direction.

It’s just that the love between two people is destined not to end with marriage, but for these two people, Setum also truly felt the blessing of the love goddess Hathor. There is true love between these two people, which is difficult to understand. People with such a big age difference can have such love, but you must know that this is not far away from the Platonic love of ancient Greek scholars.

Perhaps in this world, appearance is part of love, but the inside is more valued by many superiors. In such an era, there are definitely not a few people who possess wisdom, but on the contrary, as the glorious era of wisdom has passed, ignorance has The majority of people must be in the majority. Whether it is the East or the West, the rulers always like the policy of obscuring the people.

It is always a bit dangerous to let all the people become wise and then rule by individuals. On the contrary, as long as a few people have wisdom and control the direction, ruling a land is not only easy, but also for those who have wisdom. , there won’t be much of a threat.

Of course, this was not the original purpose of the Greek Council of Sages and Confucius’ teaching of educating the world according to their talents. But after humans have rights, how many people can keep their true intentions? This generation can hold on, but what about the next generation? Just like those Confucian scholars, how many of them can abide by the etiquette of ancient sages in the development of generations?

In short, this love temporarily changed the relationship between Egypt and Rome.

Under such circumstances, Caesar ordered the execution of Cleopatra’s father’s will, and Cleopatra and Clodius Ptolemy XIII ruled together.

Such an order would of course make Ptolemy XIII unhappy, and then the young pharaoh began to assemble his troops, preparing to kill his sister as a traitor in order to consolidate his position. As for Caesar, it seemed It was not within the scope of the Pharaoh’s consideration at all. After the Pompey incident offended the Roman general, the Pharaoh seemed to be broken.

In history, the Ptolemaic dynasty once dominated one side with its massive wealth and naval fleet. However, with the sudden change in domestic and international situations, this past glory has become a beautiful memory forever. Especially when the monarchs of Macedonian descent began to regard themselves as local pharaohs, they adopted tyrannical measures against all factors that might affect their power.

The first is to impose heavy taxes on passing merchants and all the population. Most of the funds thus collected are used for magnificent infrastructure and diplomatic bribes, and they continue to hire soldiers and technicians from Greece and other places. Then, they are afraid of the descendants of foreign soldiers. Overpopulated, local troops were mobilized to carry out brutal purges, and if they had not obtained Roman protection through debt, they might have been destroyed by invasions from neighboring countries or uprisings in their own countries.

Strictly speaking, the current Ptolemaic dynasty has simply offended Rome as much as possible.

But Ptolemy Thirteen was not aware of the subtle situation of his kingdom. The infighting environment in the palace since childhood and the flattery of the officials around him made his cognitive coordinates of the world very distorted.

In the eyes of the king and these ministers, Egypt is the second largest economy in the Mediterranean world anyway. It has financial resources and military force after Rome. The large population on both sides of the Nile River can be prepared for war at any time with the mountains of weapons in the treasury. , the docks at the port can also build warships larger than ordinary Western warships.

For those residents living in Alexandria, most of them were slave owners who shared the preferential policies. They believed that their monarch and army were extremely powerful. Therefore, when they received the anti-Roman call from within the palace, they rushed to spend their money. , instantly arming a total of 200,000 civilians and slaves.

The entire city of Alexandria instantly entered into a fiery mood of preparing for war.

Saitum was sitting on the high tower, and he could feel the restlessness belonging to the gods. Now that there is such a big war and it is related to foreign troops, the power belonging to the God of War has begun to restless again.

Although such a long time has passed and everything has become a foregone conclusion, the God of Desert and War is not the kind of person who cannot afford to lose, especially when he was defeated by a junior like Horus. He is not that shameless god when he goes to find trouble for his juniors. His violent temper is related to his priesthood.

People’s enthusiasm for war will always infect the god of desert and war. Such emotions have been accumulated for a long time, and sooner or later this god will explode once or twice.

Every night, after the god Ra fell into death every day, the god lurking in the abyss of the underworld would attack the sun boat of the god Ra, trying to turn into a snake god who swallowed the sun. Set, the god of war, served as the leader of the sun boat. The guards will naturally have a hearty battle.

Didn’t you say that before? As the years went by, the gods became a little tired of the day-to-day life, especially the big snake. For thousands of years, it couldn’t eat what it wanted every day, and was beaten in vain every day, so it became a Buddha. He stayed in the abyss every night without moving, so the God of War had not vented the accumulated emotions in his body for at least a thousand years.

What a coincidence. The Age of Gods is coming to an end soon. Once the gods are separated from humans, the God of War will really have no way to vent his anger. This war has injected enough power into the gods. The god Goodset is literally looking for an incarnation. Before humans and gods part ways, come to the human world for the last time to have a good time.

Anyway, there will never be a way to reach the human world in the future, so it doesn’t hurt to be in confinement.

Chapter 447: Set, the irritable boy

[Hey, hey—can you hear me? This is Isis, the goddess of life and magic, Setum, can you hear me? Hum hum, I just thought you heard it, hum hum. Anyway, there is trouble that has gone to the human world. I think you know who it is. This is my unreliable brother, so I will trouble our least and dearest one. His younger brother Sethum beat the guy back to the underworld. 】

Like a very willful message, Isis’s words were transmitted into his mind through the power of the gods. Saitum sighed softly, and sure enough… the god of war chose Egypt. Before the end of the Age of Gods, a good fight can be regarded as the last carnival of the gods.

If you think about it carefully, if it were not for the current situation and all the gods could not come to the human world, I am afraid that in the last ten years, all the gods would come to the human world to have a good time.

However, I think there is no way for the mysterious person to come directly in his true body. He should be lodged in the body of a certain soldier or general.

[Oh, by the way, please tell that troublemaker Seth that I prepared a brand new mace for him. 】

Ah… Speaking of which, war must be accompanied by casualties. With the participation of the God of War, the number of casualties will become even higher. It’s really the end of the job, and suddenly such a troublesome thing happened. It seems that you are about to get off work, but your boss suddenly tells you that working overtime is a kind of mood, and it may even make you feel unhappy and aggrieved.

One can imagine how angry this old lady who has long been looking forward to retirement is.

Ptolemy XIII and his ministers never pinned their hopes of victory on these temporary workers, but because they needed to guard against the border armies controlled by the internal Cleopatra faction and other ambitious people, the main force commanded by the generals had to be Stay and garrison outside the city.

Although they were ordered to return to Alexandria to deal with Caesar, their advance was severely slowed down. Therefore, except for a few former Roman legionaries who were bribed with money, most of the group who could immediately take up arms were slaves.

Knowing that the force attack was ineffective, they instead used civil engineering machinery to besiege the small coastal city where Caesar was located, including reinforcing the stone buildings on both sides of the road into small fortresses, and then using newly transported materials to build barricades, and even a large number of Propelled wooden siege tower.

These projects were completed within days, thanks to years of Greek technology and an extremely low-cost workforce.

The blockaded Roman soldiers responded tit-for-tat, transforming the neighborhood and a small theater into a fortress.

The entire war seemed to be about to break out. Whether it was in the streets or at various ports, the Roman army and the Egyptian troops were constantly engaging in friction.

An Egyptian general looked at the Roman army building a fortress in the street in the distance, and then at the young soldiers and many slaves under his command. Judging from the number, it was his army that was more numerous. Sure enough, even if they were in Egypt, they were not as good as the others. In the past glorious era, it was definitely much stronger than imagined, and it was the second most powerful country in the Mediterranean region.

Even Rome can compete a little bit. As long as Egypt wins this war, all the cash they owed to Rome can be reduced, right? Then there is their Egypt. No, no, going back to the most glorious period, the most powerful country in the Mediterranean can only be their Egypt. Compared with Rome, their Egyptian heritage is obviously richer, isn’t it?

It’s just that these generals have never considered that strictly speaking, the Ptolemaic dynasty is just an outsider. Although it still belongs to ancient Egyptian culture, in fact, it has become somewhat different from before. Even if outsiders decide to be responsible for this land, they will not value this land as much as the people born on this land.

“Go! Let me deal with them! If you don’t want to rush out and fight, I will send him to hell now!!”

Under such circumstances, even if those slaves did not want to attack, for the sake of their own lives, they had no choice but to move forward to fight those Roman soldiers and possibly survive. If they stayed here, these slaves did not doubt them The master will directly give them a knife. After all, the life of the slave is simply dispensable in the eyes of the slave owner.

The slave owner on the side also had a slightly ferocious smile on his face. He had the same idea as the general. In essence, they who tended to the Ptolemaic dynasty were in the same position and angle as these Ptolemaic rulers. Of course they hoped that the Secret Dynasty could defeat Rome and regain the strongest position in the Mediterranean.

In any case, for them, Egypt’s victory would be of great benefit and no harm to them.

On the contrary, if Egypt loses, they slave owners will also lose their status. Falling from that high position will not be a good experience. At least their ideas are very similar to those of the previous Pharaoh Ptolemy XII. Let him enjoy it all, and then take the glory and wealth underground.

Afterwards, whether Egypt is destroyed, whether his family is ruined, or whether the floods are raging, it has nothing to do with him.

Ordinary soldiers must also rush forward with these slaves, but compared to those slaves, they are less likely to die. At least they will not rush to the front line before most of the efforts die.

However, there are also a small number of soldiers who want to change their life status. They will rush to the front and try to kill enough enemies. Only when they become general-level figures will they not be given up so easily. Smart soldiers can understand this. His current living situation is not very good. Compared with Egypt in ancient times, they are just tools now.

“God of War, please give me the glory of victory!!”

After silently praying for the God of War’s blessing and strength, he took the weapon in his hand and rushed towards the Roman army. The Roman army, which was building a defense, also picked up shields and short swords at the same time.

At this moment, the two sides collided directly, the blades collided with each other, the sharp weapons pierced each other’s bodies, and blood instantly spread on the coastal area of ​​​​the port city.

The boy who had prayed to the gods before naturally fell into a pool of blood, but no one noticed that the boy lying in the pool of blood actually grinned and stood up slowly, and the wound on his waist was also recovering quickly. , golden traces appeared one after another at the original wound.

“It’s great. It’s such a youthful and energetic body.”

As he spoke, the scimitar in his hand fell back and chopped off the neck of the Roman soldier in front of him.

Chapter 448: God of War

Look at the blood sprinkled on the ground. The fear and fanaticism brought about by the war made the boy even more excited. Even an anteater mask appeared on the boy’s head. This mask is the symbol of Set, the god of war. Now everyone should understand this boy , has died as a human being, and now in this young body is Set, the God of War.

O Seth…god of war, deserts, storms, and foreign lands, and one of the Enneads.

When the sun god Ra traveled through the underworld at night, Set guarded him. Most notably, he fought and killed Apophis, the evil snake of darkness, who attacked Ra every night. , poor dark snake Apophis, died more than once in mythology. He was killed by Ra, Seth, and Best, and he never had a better life.

It’s no wonder that in today’s god’s residence, this snake of darkness has completely turned into a home snake. Even when Saitum temporarily took his place, he always had a smile on his face, as if he wanted to save himself. It’s like getting rid of your responsibilities as soon as possible.

Later, when Seth’s brother Osiris became a much more important god, Seth came to be seen as his polar opposite. Set became the god of evil because of a myth about Seth killing Osiris in a fight.

Set is often compared to Horus. Since Horus is a god, Set is also regarded as the god of the earth. The metal ore from the underground is called the Bone of Set. In the third millennium BC, Set replaced Horus as the patron saint of the Pharaoh. But when the legend spread that Set had murdered his brother, Horus was replaced.

So Seth died once in mythology. According to rumors, the reason why Seth killed Osiris was not only because his brother ascended the throne, but also because he was envious and jealous of where his brother grew up. He also said The god of war liked to eat spinach, and it was for this reason that Osiris was never found there.

Regarding this point, Setum wants to defend the God of War a little bit. In just a few actions and a few words, it should be possible to see that Set is somewhat different from the mythical imagination.

Yes, this is a naughty kid, a naughty kid walking in the God Realm as a teenager. Only in this way can the negative impact of the war be reduced. After all, children are full of energy and can forget many things when they vent. Because He is a physically immature child, and his ability in that area is certainly not enough to compare with Osiris.

To be honest, it was a miracle that Seth could have twin sons, and Seth did not care about his two children after they were born. One was thrown to his old father La, and the other was thrown to his brother Osiris.

This is why a child becomes the guardian of the sun boat, and a child becomes the guardian of the soul.

But there is such a legend, and of course it is not groundless. When the world believed in Seth as the main god, it was the Dark Ages of Egypt. War and legends influenced this naughty kid to do something similar to the legend, because it affected his own Lifelong happiness, it was not Herus who beat this naughty child to death once, but Herus’s mother – Isis.

The blood-stained mace is still placed in the goddess’s room. If I could, I would really like to use this [Set Special Attack] weapon to beat up this naughty brother.

After being severely punished by his sister, this naughty kid has been quiet for thousands of years. Looking at Seth’s excitement now, these thousands of years have really made him hold back for too long.

When Setum arrived here, the God of War had almost wiped out all the soldiers defending here. Now the God of War Set is using his own power, so there is no way for him to borrow any divine power from this God of War. , God of War Set certainly has powerful enough divine power, and even if he wants to, a small desert can appear in this area in a short time.

Ordinary gods have no way to fight against this God of War.

“Best, lend me your power.”
