Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 31 Entering the River
Over the desert bordering the Nile tributaries, Set stood motionless.

He was waiting, waiting for the mysterious voice calling himself Sobek to appear.

However, Seth waited for a day, but the voice did not appear.

This reassured Set, as he did not want to talk to Sobek.

If Sobek's voice appears in the tributary here, he will leave immediately and look for another tributary.

Fortunately, there was no voice from Sobek.

Seth took out the bronze ankh and injected it with divine power.

The three auras of desert, power, and war were intertwined in it, and then slowly dispersed and gathered opposite Set.

After a while, the escaping breath condensed into a vague human shape.

Set used his divine power to cut his palm open and smear the divine blood on the Ankh.

Then stuff the entire Anka into the vague human mouth where the breath is condensed.

The next moment, Anka burst out with powerful divine power.

The intertwined aura of the three levels of authority solidified and quickly transformed into a human form.

After a while, a replica of Set, wearing an Okapi crown, white hair and golden eyes, wearing a blue and white skirt, and an eagle-headed Weseh appeared.

Seth looked at the clone up and down. No matter in appearance or aura, it was exactly the same as him.

And Ankh provides divine power, enough to give it some of the power of a god.

His true body was hidden in the desert, and Seth attached his consciousness to his clone.

After a short period of adaptation, they flew towards the tributary of the Nile River.

He had to pass through the tributaries and then enter the Nile.

Wrapped in divine power, Set fell into a tributary of the Nile.

This tributary is wide and deep enough.

Seth rushed upstream, and the creatures in the river fled.

……

An oasis in the desert.

A caravan of more than three hundred people arrived.

The patrolling warriors from the tribes living on the oasis carefully looked at the approaching caravan.

But I found that they were all strangers.

Caravans basically only travel to familiar tribal oases.

They all put safety first. After all, there are monsters hunting humans in the desert.

In addition to being mature caravans opening up new trade oasis, strange caravans may also be hired by hostile oasis to target them.

The tribal warriors speculated on various possibilities until they saw a dozen strong men protecting a young girl.

The girl has a pattern of golden wheat ears painted on her forehead, and she is also holding a statue of a god.

For a moment, the tribal warriors breathed a sigh of relief.

A caravan with God's blessing usually represents a powerful tribe behind it.

Even if it wasn't, it was still a tribe that was getting stronger quickly.

After all, with the blessing of God, no one wants to have a conflict.

However, tribal warriors do not envy them.

You must know that they are a tribe blessed by the God of the Desert!
In the center of the oasis, there is a wide building made of stones.

A young man wearing a blue skirt and a yellow sand pattern painted on his forehead was sitting, looking through the tribal trade records recorded on papyrus.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his shoulder walked in.

"Lord Damses, the followers of the God of Agriculture have arrived." The middle-aged man saluted respectfully and said.

"Yeah." Damesis nodded slightly, not caring.

Since their tribe received the blessing of the great desert god.

Many tribes who were also blessed by God took the initiative to come and make friends.

"Sir, they also brought wheat seeds given by God." The middle-aged man said again.

"What's the use of God's wheat seeds?" Damses put down the papyrus and asked.

"Those people said that wheat production will not be reduced due to weather conditions." The middle-aged man replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Damses looked happy: "Exchange them for some seeds."

"Then let the magicians in the clan plant it immediately." "They won't replace it." The middle-aged man looked strange and said, "They only give it away."

"Is there a problem with the seeds, or do they have other requirements?" Damses asked as the joy disappeared from his face.

"None of them." The middle-aged man shook his head: "They said it was an oracle."

"The god of agriculture asked them to give this seed, which will not reduce their yield, to all the tribes in the desert."

Damssis frowned and said, "Take the seeds."

"Then tell the tribe that I was praised by the Desert God when I prayed."

"So a tribal celebration is held to celebrate such happy events."

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded vigorously.

"Also, keep an eye on the tribe. If anyone leads others to believe in other gods, arrest them all and keep them for the next sacrifice." Damssis said coldly.

"By the way, let Carver know and train the new warriors."

"As believers of the Desert God, we cannot tolerate the existence of oases that do not believe in the Desert God."

"Yes, I know." The middle-aged man looked serious and turned around to leave.

Damses smiled at this time, the seeds of the God of Agriculture should be real.

With enough food support, looting more oases will not be a problem.

At the same time, as long as they believe in the Desert God.

As a priest chosen by the Desert God, you will not be betrayed.

Praise the great God of the Desert!
……

In the Nile.

Seth wandered the bottom of the Nile.

To be honest, the depth of the Nile was beyond Seth's expectation.

After all, in his impression, the Nile River would not be very deep.

However, he entered the Nile from a tributary and then walked to the bottom of the Nile.

It is confirmed that the Nile River is about 50,000 meters deep.

There is no light here, and the common creatures such as hippopotamus, crocodiles, and red fish in the Nile River do not exist.

In other words, there is no living thing at the bottom of the Nile River.

There is only the mud at the bottom of the river, the bones of various dead creatures, shipwrecks, stones and other things.

As Seth walked, he compared the positions given by Hathor.

When he selected the tributaries, he specifically chose the tributaries that were close to the location given by Hathor.

Therefore, Fayoum should be nearby.

"Hope everything goes well." Seth muttered.

From the time he entered the tributary to the time he entered the Nile, Sobek did not appear.

However, Sobek asked Set to come to Fayoum to find him.

The authority of man also lies in Fayoum, and he is worried that he will encounter danger.

Suddenly, Seth felt something had changed.

Looking up, the surroundings were still dark.

There are still the flowing river water, the bones half buried in the mud, the wreckage of the ship that breaks at the touch of a touch, and other unchanging scenery.

Seth stood still, and he realized that something had changed. It was the surrounding river water that had changed.

The water at the bottom of the Nile was cold, but now the water around it was warm and comfortable.

Even this feeling of comfort is improving.

The Ankh in Seth's heart emits divine power, completely blocking off all river water.

The moment the river was cut off, that weird sense of comfort disappeared.

After mobilizing his divine power and carefully exploring the surrounding area, Seth confirmed that there was nothing.

There is no power in the river either.

Unable to find the reason, Seth no longer struggled, he was just a clone.

Moreover, his purpose is only human authority.
