Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 41 Waiting
"Meite, your expression makes me think that you are in love with Seth." Best said.

"Admiration?" Sekhmet asked doubtfully while touching the flying bird on the yellow sand: "How could you have such an illusion?"

The flying birds on the yellow sand disintegrated into a series of sacred text.

"Because you care about Seth very much." Best said matter-of-factly: "I know that Seth is very handsome and is the god of war and strength."

"It hits your favorite spot perfectly, and you'll probably be attracted to him."

After reading Seth's reply, Sekhmet regretfully scattered the words in the holy book and said.

"I have no feelings for Seth, I just want to have a fight with him."

"It's a pity that he rejected my request."

"I'm worried about God's decision, so I refused." Best said, wagging her tail.

Hearing this, Sekhmet looked at Best and smiled: "Best, you think I am in love with Seth."

"But I think it's you who admires this young God of War."

"Since you came to me, Seth has been mentioned almost every moment."

"Humph!" Best snorted coldly: "He is a liar!"

Sekhmet smiled and said nothing.

……

Underworld.

Seth's face was ugly, and the returning yellow sand bird still couldn't find the reed marsh.

In two days, the divine meeting will be held.

Could Sobek be lying?

No, lying wouldn't do Sobek any good either.

Damn it!

Cursing a few words in his mind, Seth quickly left the underworld.

It was almost daybreak, and Ra was going to patrol the underworld again.

……

The top of the mountain.

In the sky temple, Nut sang the praises of Ra.

Kebu sat outside the temple, looking at the stars under the sky, smiling and satisfied.

After Nut sang the hymn, she walked out of the temple, feeling a little worried.

"The desert faded away and grasslands covered the land."

"The authority of Isis and Osiris will be greatly enhanced."

"They are too powerful and are not good for you and me."

Kebu was not worried, but said: "This divine meeting will probably cause discord among the four of them."

"Besides, Isis made a vow."

"She must fulfill it, unless she is willing to give up eternal life and face death."

Nut put aside his worries for a moment and asked instead: "Hasn't Goose Feather gained enough faith?"

"Yeah." Kebu nodded: "I think we should find some more humans to believe in us."

……

Aquatic oasis.

Damses stood on the high altar, his childish face full of indifference.

Under the altar were a thousand slaves tied up.

There are young and old, men and women.

Beyond the slaves were the excited people.

Damses walked to the stone platform aside and lifted up the statue of Seth.

Then he shouted loudly to the excited tribesmen.

"The great god of the desert has given us victory!"

"Let us no longer be weak and no longer afraid of monsters in the desert!"

“We are no longer just an ordinary oasis among thousands of oases.”

"I can only wait to be killed by the powerful Oasis."

"After the Desert God protects us, our water plant oasis will enter the ranks of the strong!"

"Children in our oasis don't have to worry about food or war."

“We, the elderly in the oasis, don’t have to worry about being abandoned or rejected.”

"This is all because of the Desert God!"

"As believers of the Desert God, all we can do is to believe sincerely!"

"Any oases that do not believe in God or the God of the Desert are heretics!"

"Kill the heretics! Kill the heretics!" The tribesmen onlookers shouted at the top of their lungs!

Everyone's face is full of excitement, excitement and glory!
After being blessed by the Desert God, the tribe's life is getting better and better.

This is obvious to all.

All because they are blessed by the God of the Desert!

Damses held the statue high and said loudly.

"In order to sacrifice the great God of the Desert, we will hold a blood sacrifice!"

"Prove our loyalty to the God of the Desert with the blood of godless heretics!"

"Kill them, kill them!" the tribesmen shouted.

Damses looked at the tribal warriors guarding the slaves.

These warriors understood and raised their swords to kill the slaves one by one!
Death is terrible and terrifying.

But, all this is for God, for the Lord God of the Desert!
The people of the tribe are only excited and fanatical!
Damses looked at the expressions of the tribesmen with satisfaction.

However, he didn't notice.

At the edge of the tribesmen surrounding the sacrificial platform, there were two people who did not follow in the chanting.

They just stared at Damses.

……

Desert edge.

Watching the sun rise again, Seth felt restless.

The sun rises, which means that Ra once again enters the underworld to patrol.

Ra is like the sun, whenever He is patrolling under the canopy in the ship of ten thousand years or the chariot of the underworld.

Everything on earth will be seen by Him.

However, even during the day there are shadows that prevent the sun from reaching it.

The temple of the gods, Ra could not see what was going on in it.

However, there is no temple in the underworld.

With a long sigh, Seth calmed down and waited, and at the same time wrote a letter to Thoth.

He wanted to get Thoth’s records about the underworld.

Shu said that Thoth asked Gola to give him authority over the underworld so that he could study and record the underworld.

Even if he was rejected, Seth felt that with Thoth's character, he would study the underworld.

Maybe he has records about the reed fields.

If time was not pressed, and he could not search the reed swamp, he would not be able to find it.

Seth was not prepared to let any of the gods notice that he was concerned about the affairs of the underworld.

Especially when his authority is about to be lost, he is concerned about the underworld.

After sending the letter, Seth waited silently.

……

In a temple built with flowers, vines, and giant trees.

Isis sat by the window, frowning, talking to herself.

"The fusion failed, something is missing."

“Him must be asked again.”

"Also, if we want to find out who Yinset is as soon as possible, he must pay the price!"

At this time, Osiris walked in from outside the temple and said.

"Isis, let's go find my little brother."

Isis relaxed her brows and asked, "Why are you suddenly looking for your little brother?"

"I'm worried that he will be unhappy and resent us." Osiris sighed.

"No." Isis shook her head and said, "My little brother will be unhappy."

"But that's for other gods, not us."

"As for resentment, it's even more impossible."

"Other things won't happen, but this time it's a loss of authority." Osiris was still worried.

Isis stood up, walked to Osiris, snuggled into his arms, and said.

"Don't worry, I have a way to help my little brother get through this trouble."

"What can I do?" Osiris asked curiously.

"I'll tell you when I succeed." Isis smiled.

"Okay." Osiris smiled helplessly.
