Chapter 294 She Still Wants to Be the Queen of the Gods

In another world, 3,600 years later, wild lions have disappeared from Egypt.

But in ancient Egypt, wild lions have been living here since ancient times.

Even a thousand years later - in the era of 2600 BC, there were still wild lions in Egypt.

It is precisely because lions have always lived in Egypt that Egyptians worshiped the lion goddess in ancient times.

Sekhmet, the patron saint of Itavi, and Bastetto, the patron saint of Bubastis, are both lion goddesses worshiped by the Egyptians.

When Sekhmet became the protector of the country and the queen of the gods, Bastetto seemed to be suppressed and devalued, so Bastetto's image changed from the lion goddess to the cat goddess.

The origin of this lion goddess worship may be in ancient tribal times. Priestesses or female leaders who wielded tribal power wore lion heads to deify themselves, and participated in wars between tribes, eventually evolving into the lion goddess of war with a lion's head and body.

It is precisely because the prototype of the lion goddess is a woman who wears a lion's head as a helmet, so Roy was not surprised to see Sekhmet taking off the lion's head like a helmet.

What really surprised Roy was that Sekhmet's beauty completely matched her status as a goddess.

Standing on the throne, Sekhmet is tall. Her figure is slender and beautiful, and her delicate face is like a doll. Unfortunately, her skin color is brown, not as brown and white as the goddess Wadjet and the goddess Knight. .

Looking at Sekhmet's beautiful face and figure, Roy quickly thought of the reason why Sekhmet was so beautiful.

In the ancient tribal era, the prototype of Sekhmet could be a priestess or a female leader wearing a lion head to deify herself. She must be the daughter of the male leader who holds the power of the tribe.

As long as the wives of the male leader are the most beautiful women in the tribe, the daughter he gives birth to will naturally have a high probability of inheriting her mother's beauty.

An ordinary tribal woman accidentally picked up a lion's head and wore it on her head, and was regarded as a goddess by the ignorant tribal people——

This kind of fairy tale-like story only appears in fantasy novels that are divorced from reality.

After all, the struggle for power has always been bloody and cruel. How could the person who holds the power of the tribe give the opportunity to become a goddess to an ordinary tribal woman.

Only the favorite daughter of the tribal leader can wear a lion head and be deified into a lion goddess, and accept the worship of the tribal people.

Thinking that Sekhmet's prototype might be a human from the ancient tribal era, Roy asked excitedly.

"Great goddess Sekhmet! Can you tell me, who once ruled Egypt and became the queen of the gods, were you a real god from the beginning, or a goddess deified by humans? If you were originally a human, then you represent humans After becoming a god, you can also become the king of gods."

Hearing Roy's words, Nafir and the priestess of Sekhmet were all startled.

"Roy, are you hallucinating or talking in your sleep?"

Nafir looked at Roy with suspicion and said.

"Or - can you really see the goddess Sekhmet?"

Faced with this difficult question, Roy could only look at Sekhmet for help.

Sekhmet said coldly with an unhappy expression.

"If you want me to help you, you have to help me convince Nafir to move the capital to Itawui City and worship me as the protector of the country and the queen of the gods like her ancestors."

Roy nodded without hesitation, and Sekhmet's body immediately glowed with divine light, allowing Nafir and the priestess to see her.

"Goddess Sekhmet——"

"Great Sekhmet!"

When Nafir and the priestess saw Sekhmet coming, the priestess immediately knelt on the ground and worshiped Sekhmet devoutly.

Nafir looked at Sekhmet at a loss, because she brought Roy to the Sekhmet Temple. She just wanted to pay homage to the patron saint of the Pharaoh family a hundred years ago, and did not want to talk to Sekhmet. The goddess Te has a lot to do with it.

"Dear Nafir, welcome to see me at the Temple of Sekhmet."

Facing Nafir, who could put him back on the throne of the Protector God, Sekhmet was like a mother seeing her daughter, showing an amiable smile and saying to Nafir.

"I used to protect your ancestors in the past, and now I will become your patron saint. Are you willing to come closer and bring us closer?"

Upon hearing Sekhmet's request, Nafir instinctively looked at Roy for help.

Roy gave Nafel an encouraging look, then directly sold Nafel to Sekhmet, gently pushing Nafel on the back with his left hand.

Nafir walked up to Sekhmet involuntarily, and Sekhmet took the initiative to hug Nafir with both hands and said with a gentle and sweet smile on his face.

"Dear Nafir, you don't have to think of me as a god like others. To me, you are like my daughter. You can think of me as your mother, or you can think of me as your sister."

"Goddess Sekhmet——"

Facing Sekhmet's overly doting attitude, Nafir became even more at a loss.

Seeing Sekhmet's efforts to become the Queen of the Gods again, Roy also thought about the conditions for a deal with Sekhmet.

Nafir is not a simple and ignorant child.

As the princess of the pharaoh family, Nefer certainly knew that the goddess Sekhmet had arrived in person, and she loved her so much, obviously in order to regain the throne of the protector of the country.

If Nafir could satisfy Sekhmet's requirements, she could indeed accept Sekhmet's favor with peace of mind.

But Nafir had no intention of helping Sekhmet become the protector of the country again, so she could not accept Sekhmet's favor for herself.

Seeing Nafir's cold reaction, Sekhmet first exchanged glances with Roy, and then said to Nafir.

"Dear Nafir, please don't feel burdened to accept my favor. I won't let you do anything for me."

"Goddess Sekhmet--"

Nafir looked at Sekhmet with a surprised and suspicious look.

"Although I can't worship you as the protector of the country like my ancestors, you are the queen of the gods who has ruled the gods for three hundred years. I can let you have a status second only to God Amon."

Sekmet barely kept a smile on his face, and a look of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Dear Nafir, do you want to hear me tell you about the great deeds left by your ancestors?"

After Nafir nodded, Sekhmet continued.

"Speaking of the great deeds left by your ancestors, the first one to mention is Amenemhat I, the first pharaoh of the 12th Dynasty of Egypt. The greatest deed of Amenemhat I was to move the capital of Egypt from Thebes to Itawiya, and to have Sekhmet, the patron saint of Itawiya, replace Amon, the patron saint of Thebes, as the patron saint of the Kingdom of Egypt. The 11th Dynasty only existed for 140 years under the protection of Amon, but the dynasty established by your ancestors was protected by me for 300 years. It was not until the barbaric Zeus and the barbaric Hyksos invaded Egypt that your ancestors had to abandon Itawiya and move to Thebes in the south, and I lost my position as the patron saint of the country."
