I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 307
600 BC.

The far east in this era was either ruled by Xia Jie, the last emperor of the Xia Dynasty, or the Shang Dynasty had already been established by Shang Tang.

Under the rule of the Xia Dynasty or the Shang Dynasty, the mainland of China also practiced aristocratic slavery.

Although King Xia or King Shang is nominally the co-lord of Liuhe and Eight Desolations, and all the princes in the world are the king's subjects, but in fact the princes are indeed only the king's nominal subjects.

As long as the princes are strong enough, the princes can defeat the king and replace the king as the new co-lord of the world.

Shang Tang was originally just a prince who surrendered to King Xia, and by defeating Xia Jie, he established the Shang Dynasty and became king.

600 years later, Ji Fa, a minister of Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty, also defeated the Shang Dynasty in war and established the Zhou Dynasty.

In Egypt in this era, the pharaoh was also the nominal co-lord of each city-state.

As long as these city-states are strong enough, they can replace the old pharaohs and become the new pharaohs.

The city-states did not express any objection to Nafir's desire to inherit the throne and become pharaoh, not only because Nafir did not harm their interests, but also because none of the city-states had the strength to resist Nafir.

Thebes city is the largest city-state in southern Egypt.

In the case that Nafir is not hostile by all city-states, Nafir can control the city of Thebes, and her throne will be as stable as Mount Tai.

It is precisely because the city of Thebes is so important, so before leaving Thebes city, Nafier arranged three consuls to jointly manage the city of Thebes under the suggestion of Roy, and arranged three generals and [-] Thousands of troops were stationed in Thebes city to prevent the ruling right of Thebes city from being taken away by a certain family.

After making all the arrangements, Nafer immediately headed for Itawi City with an army of 12.

At the front of the army that looked like a long dragon was Nafiel's luxurious carriage.

The carriage was pulled by four horses, and the carriage was as huge as a room.

Roy lived in the carriage with Nafir and Andromeda. Not only could he sleep on a soft bed, but Nafir could also receive envoys from various city-states in the carriage.

In the carriage at this time, Nafiel and Andromeda were chatting and laughing about girls.

Seeing that their relationship is getting better and better, and it seems that they are going to develop into girlfriends, Roy has been hesitating about one thing-to let Nafer know the identity of the murderer who killed Kamos.

Although Nafier knew that the murderer of Kamose was Andromeda's uncle Phineus, and the boat of friendship between her and Andromeda would surely capsize immediately, but let Nafier die without knowing it. It is even more cruel for Nafiel to become best friends with Andromeda.

Just when Roy was about to speak, the driver driving outside the carriage said suddenly.

"Princess Nafeel! A messenger from the Temple of Horus wants to see you."

"Let the envoys from the Temple of Horus come in!"

After Nafier agreed to meet the envoy, a middle-aged priest entered the carriage, knelt down in front of Nafier and said.

"Princess Nafeel, I bring you the blessing of Horus, and I have an important matter to discuss with you."

The envoy of the Temple of Horus is not the first envoy of the Temple received by Nafier.

Since Nafer left the city of Thebes with the army, several envoys from various temples have asked to see Nafer during this period.

Seeing the respectful attitude of the envoys from the Temple of Horus, Nafier said with a satisfied smile.

"I accept the blessing of God Horus! Messenger, you can directly state your purpose!"

Hearing Nafer's request, the messenger was stunned and said.

"Princess Nafer! The great Horus is not only the patron saint of Hierakonpolis, but also the guardian god of southern Egypt before the establishment of the first dynasty. Now Princess Nafer wants to let other gods replace the god Amon To become the god of protecting the country, can the great Horus be considered as the new god of protecting the country? After all, the goddess Sekhmet is the god of northern Egypt, and only the gods of southern Egypt will truly protect the southern Egyptians."

Nafeel drove the god Amon from the throne of the Protector of the Kingdom, which gave other gods a chance to ascend the throne of the Protector of the Kingdom.

Emissaries from the various temples were sent from the various temples, despite knowing that there was little hope, in an attempt to persuade Nafir to enshrine their god as the Protector of the Nation.

Before receiving the envoys from the Temple of Horus, Nafir had already received envoys from the Temple of Hathor, the Temple of Anubis, and the Temple of Upuot, and rejected their requests.

Hearing the same words from the envoy of the Temple of Horus, Nafiel immediately refused.

"Your Excellency, I am the queen who rules the whole of Egypt. The northern Egyptians are also my people. I have the same respect for the gods of northern Egypt and the gods of southern Egypt, so I will not change Sekhmet. The idea of ​​a goddess becoming a protector of the country."

Although Nafiel's refusal was expected, the messenger couldn't help but said with a disappointed expression.

"Princess Nafeel! Then after you ascend the throne and become a female pharaoh, will you order the restoration or construction of a new Temple of Horus?"

In the history of ancient Egypt, in addition to building pyramids and tombs for themselves, the pharaohs of all dynasties also used a lot of manpower and material resources to build temples to obtain the support of various temples.

Various temples can also use the temples built for them by the pharaohs to enhance the authority of the temples.

After thousands of years, it has almost become a tradition to restore or build new temples for various temples.

Seeing Nafer's embarrassed expression, Roy immediately spoke.

"Your Excellency! In order to fight the Hyksos, Princess Nafeel can't afford to build a temple at all. If the Temple of Horus can dedicate property to Princess Nafeel, Princess Nafeel is willing to use it in the name of Pharaoh Repair the Temple of Horus, or build a new Temple of Horus."

Let the temple of Horus repair or build a new temple at its own expense——

It is of course impossible to say that the Temple of Horus cannot afford the money.

It's just that the various temples have become accustomed to asking the pharaoh to pay for the repair of the temple or the construction of a new temple for them.

Because Nafeel has the right to go to war with the Hyksos, the messenger could only say helplessly.

"If Princess Nafeel is willing to restore the temple for our Temple of Horus in the name of Pharaoh, I believe the high priest of the Temple of Horus will agree to donate property."

After the envoy from the Temple of Horus left, Nafier immediately smiled.

"Loy! You can actually think of asking each temple to pay for repairs or build new temples, and I see their reactions, they are not unacceptable."

"Because they want to use the pharaoh's name to enhance the authority of the temple more than their property."

Roy said confidently.

"If there is a temple that really donates property to us, we must grab his wool and make it worthwhile to sell it in the name of the Pharaoh."

After speaking, Roy looked at Andromeda beside Nafel.

After some hesitation, Roy finally decided to temporarily conceal from Nafir the relationship between the murderer who killed Kamose and Andromeda.

When he returned to Itawi City and he was going to bring Andromeda back to the Kingdom of Athens, he would tell Nafiel the murderer who killed Kamose.
