Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 11 Moon God’s Wine
After deciding to stick to the original plan, Seth, who had originally planned to stroll around the City of the Sun, lost his mood.

He left the temple of Osiris and returned to his own temple, a temple built of yellow sand.

As for beating and staring at Osiris, Isis was with Osiris and didn't need him anymore.

After yawning and sitting on the yellow sand throne, Seth planned to take a nap.

God doesn’t care whether he sleeps or not, as long as he is not seriously injured or there is a problem with his authority.

Sleeping is more for your own mental pleasure.

What pleased Seth most was that God does not dream,
Seth stretched hard and was about to fall asleep when he sensed the arrival of an uninvited guest.

"What is she here for?"

With doubts, Set released the divine power restriction at the temple entrance.

A black cat wearing snake-shaped gold earrings walked in slowly with a smile. It was the cat god Best.

"Is something wrong?" Seth asked curiously with his face raised.

The black cat stopped, squatted not far from Seth, and said, "I need your help with a little thing."

Set said oh, then looked at Best: "What good do I have?"

Bethet swept her tail, and a clay pot the size of a human head appeared on the temple floor.

"I heard from Lou Mu that you want to drink sun wine."

Seth became excited when he heard the word Sun Wine.

"Do you have La God's sun wine for me?!"

"No." Best shook her head.

For a moment, Seth was disappointed.

Best swung her tail and said, "It's the moonshine wine second only to the sun wine."

"Moonlight wine?" Seth looked confused.

"It's the wine brewed by the moon god Kongsu." Best looked at the pottery pot with some reluctance and said, "This was given to me by Kongsu before he fell asleep."

"Its taste is second only to sun wine, and it is also recognized."

Kongsu, the moon god?

Seth remembered that he suddenly fell asleep in the Night Plains 20,000 years ago.

He never appeared in the sight of the gods again.

Even when the god Ra held a divine meeting, Kongsu did not appear.

So some gods speculated that Kong Su was dead.

When a god dies, he will return to authority itself. After an epoch, authority will re-embody the god who holds the true name.

The premise is that the power of the moon and night that created the moon god Kongsu was not controlled by any god at that time.

In that case, it would be equivalent to the resurrection of the old god.

After considering it for a moment, Seth said.

"I accept your reward, what do you want me to do for you?"

Best did not answer immediately, an Ankh appeared on her body, exuding a protective aura.

This aura quickly spread throughout Set's temple.

Seth looked at Best in silence, and he could sense that Best had no fighting spirit.

"I hope only you and I know about this." The black cat that Best turned into looked serious.

"I can guarantee that only you and I know." Seth promised, becoming more curious at the same time.

Best nodded with satisfaction and said, "In the desert, there is a long bloody river."

"Its movements are erratic, even avoiding God and all living things."

"You are the god of the desert. It shouldn't be difficult to find it and catch it."

Seth thought while searching for his fused memories.

However, he did not find the memory of the bloody river in the original memory of Seth.

From this point of view, the original Seth did not know the existence of the bloody river.

"I can't guarantee that I can find it and catch it." Set told Bethet truthfully.

The God of the Desert knows the desert and everything on it.

But the original Seth didn't know it, and he could already explain the problem.

"You can do it." Best said with certainty: "It's just good at hiding its aura, but it can't leave the desert."

"Okay, I will try to find it." Seth agreed and then asked: "Can you tell me why you are looking for that river?"

"No." Best refused flatly, then flicked her tail and put Anka away and left the temple. Seth watched Bethet leave, and thought about how she often went to the oasis to trick humans into digging for gold in the desert.

Are you also looking for the long river of blood?

It's possible, but it's not the right time to delve into it now.

Seth held the clay pot that Beth had left in front of him and opened the lid of the clay pot.

A refreshing smell wafted out.

With just one breath, Seth seemed to see a full moon in front of him.

The silvery moonlight is pouring into the body little by little.

A slightly cold feeling, like moonlight.

Putting the lid back on the clay pot, Seth smiled and put it away.

"As expected of the wine brewed by the Moon God!"

Good wine must be accompanied by food. Seth suppressed his desire to drink now.

After taking some time to calm down, Seth fell asleep sitting on the throne.

When Seth woke up, it was just as the red sun was rising.

This means that Ra once again killed the demon snake Apep.

Seth changed into a blue, gold and white skirt and a hawk-headed Weseh.

Then he left the temple and walked towards the Pantheon.

At this moment, the gods are all approaching the Pantheon.

After walking up the long stairs, Seth entered the Pantheon.

The stone walls are painted with murals of the god Ra fighting the devil snake, the sun, the moon, animals, humans, mountains and rivers.

In front of the mural are the divine thrones arranged like a pyramid.

At the bottom are a large number of lower gods and their divine positions.

Then there is the upper god, and then the main god.

And it is higher than the main god and the only supreme god.

Based on his memory, Set walked to the throne with desert patterns engraved on the back and sat down.

Next to him are the statues of Osiris, Isis, and Nephthys.

However, they haven't arrived yet.

Apart from him, in the main god level, only Sekhmet has arrived.

She has the head of a lioness and is wearing a long blood-colored linen dress.

On the arms, wrists, and ankles were gold rings engraved with corpses.

The main god Sekhmet - the god of revenge, fire, and healing.

Set had little contact with Sekhmet. He glanced at her and sat on the throne waiting for the gods to come.

"Desert God, can I ask you a question?" Sekhmet suddenly spoke.

"Okay." Seth was bored and he didn't mind chatting with others.

Sekhmet's golden beast eyes were full of curiosity: "How does it feel when you are seriously injured by Apep?"

Hearing this, Seth raised his eyebrows.

Is this a provocation?

"I didn't mean to provoke you." Sekhmet realized that what he said was wrong and quickly explained: "I just want to know what it feels like to be injured by a demon snake."

Set looked directly into Sekhmet's eyes.

Make sure she is indeed curious and not provocative.

"The power will be swallowed up bit by bit. The proud threefold authority is as weak as a baby under Apep's power."

This is Seth's true feeling when he fuses his memories.

Therefore, he was extremely unhappy about assisting Ra God in killing Apep.

Seth even thought about whether to tell Shu.

After this severe injury and near-death experience, I developed Apepphobia.

It is a mental illness that causes headaches and fever after seeing a demonic snake.

However, there is no such thing as mental illness in God’s world, so we can only give up.
