Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 6 Hathor’s Seed
The junction of forest and grassland.

Giant trees with lush foliage built the prototype of the temple, with vines filling the gaps and golden and blue flowers blooming on them.

If possible, Seth would like to take a closer look at this plant temple.

Unfortunately, when he arrived here, Nephthys also arrived.

This is how the two met.

"Brother Seth, long time no see."

Set looked at Nephthys, who was sitting on the small house with a soft face.

She has a vine-blue crown on her long golden hair, brown pupils, a soft face, and is wearing a long blue and white linen skirt.

The neck is made of lapis lazuli, black crystal, sapphire, and gold.

Wearing gold rings engraved with complex patterns on her arms, wrists, and ankles.

This is Nephthys, the original goddess Set loved.

To be fair, Set thought Nephthys was indeed beautiful.

However, in the face of death, beauty is not as good as sand.

Seth smiled and said, "Sister Nephthys."

"I am sincerely happy to see you safe and sound." Nephthys' face was filled with sincerity.

"Thank you." Seth thanked him and asked, "What are you doing here, brother Osiris?"

Nephthys took out a white crystal with ten green seeds in it.

"Hathor asked me to give these seeds to brother Osiris."

Set was stunned when he heard Hathor's name.

The main god Hathor - the god of love, beauty and music.

She usually stays in the temple in Sun City and basically does not appear in the sight of the gods.

"What kind of seed is this?" Seth asked curiously.

Nephthys shook his head: "I don't know, she didn't say."

"Let's give the seeds to brother Osiris. He has been studying these seeds recently."

"Perhaps Brother Osiris knows what it is."

"Yeah." Seth nodded.

Yellow sand birds and small houses landed at the entrance of the temple.

Set saw Osiris staring at a golden, plump ear of wheat in the temple at a glance.

Nephthys passed Set and entered the temple.

Osiris put down the ears of wheat, smiled at Nephthys, and saw Set again.

He immediately stood up, walked to Seth, looked at Seth carefully, and then let out a sigh of relief.

"Be glad you're healed, my brother."

Seth looked at the man wearing the divine crown of wheat ears, with green skin, golden pupils, and a beard on his chin tied up by a bronze ring.

Wearing a blue linen skirt, she wears a Weseh made of lapis lazuli, emerald, sapphire, and gold around her neck.

A strong man wearing gold rings engraved with divine patterns on his wrists, arms, and ankles.

This is the main god level Osiris - the god of agriculture, plants, and fertility.

Seth had a question in his mind for no reason, why is Osiris green?
He, Isis, and Nephthys all have normal skin colors.

Is it because the boss has mutated?
Although I complained in my heart, Seth still felt the sincere brotherhood in Osiris.

"Thanks to Sister Isis." Seth smiled.

"Anyway, you're healed!" Osiris said with a smile on his face.

"Brother Osiris, Hathor asked me to bring you some seeds." Nephthys said.

Seth walked into the temple and took over the conversation: "Hathor didn't say what kind of seed it was."

"Brother, see if you recognize these seeds."

Nephthys handed Osiris the crystal containing the seed.

Taking the crystal and opening it, Osiris placed the seed in his hand. The warm green light flashed, it was Osiris using his divine power.

After a moment, Osiris said excitedly.

"These are barley seeds that contain the breath of the sun, and are more vital."

"Even if it is grown in a desert oasis, the yield will no longer be reduced!"

Seth thought of the merchants walking among the oases in the desert.

They sold furs, cubs, slaves, gold, and gems.

However, the most common and most in demand are food and spices.

Some oases do not grow food, but only grow high-priced spices in exchange for food and other items.

The reason why we know this is because many people have prayed in the temple of the desert god more than once.

They prayed to Seth for a good harvest from the wheat they planted, and some even performed human sacrifices.

Unfortunately, the original Seth never responded to them.

First, the authority over fertility and agriculture belonged to Osiris.

Secondly, he hoped that the oasis would be short of food.

In that case, they will definitely start a war. As the god of war, Seth is naturally happy to see war.

The current Seth feels that the original Seth did the right thing.

At the same time, he also knew that Osiris intended to use these seeds to expand his power.

"Brother Osiris, great, haven't you always wanted to cultivate seeds that won't lose yield in the desert!" Nephthys said with a smile.

"Yes!" Osiris was still excited: "I originally planned to give up."

"With my authority, I cannot affect the desert."

Hearing this, Seth thought of the origin of Hathor. She was the god transformed from the left eye of the god Ra.

It is not difficult to get seeds containing the breath of the sun.

Nephthys showed a hint of worry at this time: "Brother Osiris, can these seeds be planted in the desert?"

"If possible, if those humans planted them in the desert to breed, the desert would definitely disappear."

"Then Brother Seth's authority will be damaged..."

He was worried about Seth both inside and outside of his words.

But Seth always felt that these words were a bit teasing...

Is it his imagination?

Considering that the myth might have affected his view of Nephthys, Set said, "It will not affect the desert."

The desert is completely under his control, unless the Supreme God takes action, or someone obtains his true name.

Otherwise, he can control what can and cannot live in the desert.

After hearing this, Osiris looked at Seth seriously and said, "Don't worry, these seeds cannot be planted in sand."

"I believe you, brother." Seth smiled.

This is the conclusion he drew based on his memory.

In the memory of the original Seth, Osiris was an honest, trustworthy, and very frank elder brother.

Naturally, this side is for the three of them.

If Nephthys really wanted to seduce Osiris, he might have taken advantage of this.

"That's great." Nephthys said, "Brother Osiris, give them to the human tribes that believe in you as soon as possible."

"There's no rush." ​​Osiris shook his head: "I want to breed enough seeds first."

"Brother, have you asked Hathor to cultivate seeds?" Seth still cared about Hathor.

After all, no one knows his true name except himself, and the name Set is a pseudonym without power.

The only thing that can affect the desert and shake the source of his power is the power of the Sun God.
