Chapter 4661 4664 [Imorton]

At this moment, Ansuna did a split, then raised her spear and blocked the axe chopped by Nefidili.

Then she kicked Nefidili's wrist.

In pain, Nefidili couldn't hold the axe and was thrown away by Ansuna.

Ansuna jumped up and attacked Nefidili with her spear.

Nefidili had to retreat step by step.

"You lost, Nefidili~" Ansuna saw this and stopped pressing, saying proudly.

But Nefidili took the opportunity to grab the spear in Ansuna's hand.

Ansuna saw this and exerted her strength suddenly, threw Nefidili to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, and then used the spear head to press against Nefidili's throat.

Nefidili finally dared not move again.

And applause broke out.

"Very good, very good, 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 person responsible for protecting me is Ansuna, my future wife."

Hearing this result, everyone present applauded again.

Xiang Nan knew this result long ago, so he was not surprised. Anyway, Seti I could not marry Ansuna.

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

He turned his head and saw that it was Ansuna.

The deep affection in her eyes was so strong that it almost overflowed.

This made Xiang Nan's heart beat. Such a beautiful woman is indeed beautiful and unparalleled.

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

Nefidili was encouraged by her father and laughed happily.

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

She was stunned, and her intuition told her that this matter was not simple.

"Congratulations to Pharaoh, His Highness Menes, Princess Nefidili, and Princess Ansuna." Xiang Nan smiled at this time, "It's a perfect choice. I think the gods will agree with your choice."

"That's great. Being blessed by the gods is also what I want most." Seti I said with satisfaction, "Dear Imhotep, the wedding will be left to you."

"Yes." Xiang Nan clasped his hands together.

...

Then, Xiang Nan led the monks to leave the palace and returned to his temple.

The ancient Egyptians believed in polytheism. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 2,000 gods. However, as time passed, the names and titles of the gods have 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 are in charge of the power to worship gods and interpret oracles, even the pharaoh must respect them enough. Otherwise, his rule will be threatened.

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

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

But Egyptian hieroglyphics are very complicated, and there were no schools at that time. Therefore, if people want to learn writing, they can only go to the temple to ask monks for advice.

In this way, the monks monopolized the channels for people to rise, and naturally held power.

Just like the ancient Chinese clans, because they monopolized knowledge, they monopolized high-level official positions. It was not until the promotion of printing and the rise of the imperial examination system that ordinary people had a step to advance.

Of course, it is not so easy to be a monk. You need to learn writing, sacrifice, etiquette, literature, medicine, painting, arithmetic, astronomy, divination, architecture and many other knowledge.

Finally, the best of the best can become the high priest.

The high priest, also known as the "servant of God", is responsible for worshiping gods, interpreting oracles, assisting the pharaoh, managing the country... It can be said that he is the first person under the pharaoh.

...

"Close the door, I want to start meditating." Xiang Nan ordered 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 in terms of luxury, it was definitely not inferior to the pharaoh's palace.

Unlike Buddhist monks, Taoist priests, and Christian pastors, the monks in ancient Egypt 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 tall houses, fine clothes and delicious food, but they could also get married and have children and reproduce.

Please...collect 6...books...!

Even in ancient Egypt, the coming-of-age ceremony for girls was to offer themselves to the sacrifice. Because they represent God, this means God's blessing.

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

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

In the movie, he was able to create the Ten Plagues in Egypt because he suffered from insect bites and had too much resentment, so he became a powerful evil spirit.

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

In fact, no matter who holds the "Black Book of the Dead", as long as he recites the spell, he can use the magic in it.

For example, when 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 Imhotep today can only be regarded as a weak chicken.

No wonder he was helpless when facing seven or eight pharaoh guards, and could only watch Ansuna die tragically.

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

...

However, although Imhotep has no special abilities, as a 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, have 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 beat them?" Xiang Nan thought again.

Although those gods responded to Imhotep's sacrifices and prayers, they were just vague inductions, and the strength of those gods could not be analyzed from them at all.

Xiang Nan did not intend to test those gods.

Because the tempers of those gods are not very good, they do not respond frequently to the prayers and sacrifices of believers. Just like the messages sent by the licking dogs of the sea king and the sea queen, they are basically read but not replied.

"Confucius is right, respect ghosts and gods and 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 not to get into trouble."

From "The Mummy 2", the god of death Anubis is still very powerful. He can quickly create an oasis in the desert and has tens of thousands of wolf-headed human armies.

I just don't know if this is his strongest combat power or just a small test of his skills.

If it is the strongest combat power, Xiang Nan is not afraid, because he can do this. But if this is just a small test of Anubis, then his strength should not be underestimated.

So before you know the details, it is best not to act rashly.
