Chapter 308 Tell Nafir Who the Murderer Is

From the city of Thebes to the city of Itaweh, it is a journey of thousands of miles.

Nafir wanted to take this route with an army of 120,000 men because he would pass through thirteen city-states along the way.

Showing Nafir's 120,000 troops to the city-states passing along the way can make the rulers of these city-states feel in awe and willing to obey Nafir's orders.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Nafil came to Itawui City with an army of 120,000 people. The high priest of the Sekhmet Temple personally brought a group of temple priests and priest nobles to the outside of the city to greet Nafil.

Surrounded by everyone, Roy and Nafir entered the Pharaoh's palace in Itawui City, and saw that the palace not only had hundreds of male and female servants, but was also ready to welcome Nafir's feast.

Banquet hall.

Roy and Nafir sat on the throne and saw that the priests and nobles of Itawui City were obviously headed by the high priest of the Sekhmet Temple. Nafir said with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty the High Priest! I want to know who is the supreme ruler of Itawui City now after it was recaptured by my brother Kamos?"

The high priest of the Temple of Sekhmet is a middle-aged priestess.

Seeing Nafir's unhappy expression, the high priest immediately said respectfully.

"Princess Nafir! Itawui City was originally ruled by a governor appointed by Cepheus. After Pharaoh Kamos expelled the Hyksos, he had not appointed a new governor for Itawui City, so Itawui City Now it is jointly managed by the Sekhmet Temple and the priests and nobles. In the future, Itawui City will become the capital of the Pharaoh family, and Itawui City will naturally be directly ruled by the Pharaoh. "

In the city of Thebes, if there was no Pharaoh family, the high priest of the Temple of Amun was the real master.

This shows how much authority the high priests of each temple have.

At this time, the old rulers of Itawui City were driven away and no new rulers appeared. The high priest of the Sekhmet Temple naturally became the de facto ruler of Itawui City.

Although Nafir was dissatisfied with this situation, she was not as afraid of the high priest of the Sekhmet Temple as she was of the high priest of the Amon Temple.

Because the authority of the Sekhmet Temple was first suppressed by the Pharaohs for three hundred years, and then by the Hyksos for a hundred years.

The authority of the Temple of Sekhmet in the city of Itavi is completely incomparable to the authority of the Temple of Amun in the city of Thebes.

"Since Itawui City should be directly ruled by me, I want to arrange soldiers to take over Itawui City. Do you have any objections?"

Regardless of whether other people have any objections, the high priest of Sekhmet Temple has no objections.

After all, Nafir will regard the goddess Sekhmet she serves as the protector of the country and her temple of Sekhmet as the state religion.

The current high priest of the Sekhmet Temple is Nafir's staunchest supporter.

Even if Nafir wanted to wipe out all the priests and nobles in Itawui City, the high priest of Sekhmet Temple would not have any objections.

After the banquet to welcome Nafir ended successfully, the high priest said to Nafir impatiently.

"Princess Nefer! The Sekhmet Temple has been prepared for you. Tomorrow you will go to the Sekhmet Temple and become a pharaoh with the blessing of the goddess Sekhmet! I will represent the goddess Sekhmet. Let you become the daughter of God. From now on, you will be the daughter of the goddess Sekhmet and the highest priest of our Sekhmet Temple.”

Hearing the words of the high priest, Nafir couldn't help laughing and joking.

"Your Majesty the High Priest, you seem more anxious than me. Are you afraid that I will be persuaded by other temples and suddenly change my mind and regard other gods as protectors of the country?"

The high priest shook his head and explained.

"I am so anxious because all the Egyptians are eager for you to ascend the throne and become Pharaoh."

Seeing that the high priest was unwilling to admit it, Nafir said with a smile.

"Now that the high priest has made arrangements, I will go to the Sekhmet Temple tomorrow morning."

After the high priest left the palace with the temple priests and priest nobles, only Roy and Nafir were left in the banquet hall.

Roy hugged Nafel and lay on the large throne. Nafel said with a smile.

"Tomorrow - I will ascend the throne! Although I broke the tradition that only men can inherit the throne, everything went smoothly. I know that this is all because you are by my side. If you make a request to me, I You can become the queen according to tradition and let you inherit the throne as my husband."

Upon hearing Nafir's suggestion, Roy immediately shook his head.

Because Roy's goal was to break tradition and rule Egypt with the policies of the Kingdom of Athens.

If Loy succeeds to the throne as Nafir's husband and becomes Pharaoh, and the temple priests and priests and nobles of various Egyptian city-states become Loy's nominal subjects, it will be difficult for Loy to destroy them.

"Nafer! I just want to be the king of Athens, not the king of Egypt."

"That's such a shame!"

Nafir said with some disappointment.

"Since you don't want to be the Pharaoh, then marry me and help me give birth to the next generation of Pharaoh! Even without your help, I can rule Egypt well."

"I can marry you, but you have to agree to my request."

Seeing Nafir's displeased expression, Roy said firmly.

"My Kingdom of Athens needs a lot of food. As long as you sell me all the surplus food in the Kingdom of Egypt, I will marry you."

"Don't you agree to marry me if I don't sell you the grain?"

"That's right!"

Seeing Nafel pouting her lips and showing a dissatisfied expression, Roy said without hesitation.

"If you don't agree to sell the grain to me, I will refuse to marry you."

"You——"

Nafel said angrily.

"Do you think I can't get married? Although I can't find a husband who is more noble and powerful than you, the King of Athens, I can find a lot of suitors who are not as good as you. If you want Egypt's grain, why don't you become the King of Egypt?"

After listening to Nafel's angry words, Roy stroked her beautiful neck with both hands and said seriously.

"Nafel, even if I kill you, I won't let you marry another man. Don't let me hear the angry words just now for the second time. I can't tell you the reason why I don't want to be the King of Egypt. But I can make a deal with you. As long as you agree to sell the grain of the Kingdom of Egypt to the Kingdom of Athens, I will tell you——who is the murderer who killed Kamose."

"Do you know who is the murderer who killed Kamose's brother? Then why didn't you tell me?"

Bang bang bang bang——

Nafel waved his two small fists angrily and beat Roy for a while.

After venting his anger, Nafir gnashed his teeth and said.

"I promise you! As long as you tell me who killed Kamos's brother, I will sell grain to your Kingdom of Athens."

After hearing Nafir's answer, Roy said slowly.

"Nafir, listen carefully. The murderer who killed Kamos on the battlefield was named Phineus. He was the younger brother of the Hyksos King Cepheus and Andromeda's uncle."

"Andromeda - the uncle of that bitch is the murderer who killed Kamos's brother!"
