Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 7 Admiration
Osiris put away the seeds and shook his head: "I did not ask Hathor to cultivate barley seeds."

"She has almost always stayed in the temple in the City of the Sun. I have never seen her in private."

Set looked at Nephthys who was sending the seeds: "Little sister, is it you who asked Hathor to do this?"

"No," Nephthys denied, explaining: "The god Ra was going to hold a divine council, and I had nothing to do, so I went to the City of the Sun first."

"Hathor came to my door and asked me to give the seeds to brother Osiris."

"Thank her after the divine meeting, and ask her again along the way." Osiris said.

Many guesses flashed through Seth's mind, but they were all unfounded guesses, and he could only do what Osiris said.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Seth took out the barley beer he bought at the oasis.

"Try it and see, it's brewed by humans."

Osiris became interested and said, "Okay."

Nephthys stared at Set as if it was the first day she met him.

"Brother Seth, have you gone to the human gathering place?"

Seth nodded: "Yes."

"Staying in the temple for too long is too boring."

Hearing this, Nephthys said nothing more, but a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

"Of all the creatures created by God Ra, human beings are the most interesting." Osiris said with a smile.

"Indeed." Seth agreed.

Nephthys didn't say anything, just smiled.

Set then gave the beer to Osiris and Nephthys.

"The fermentation is pretty good, it tastes like desert barley." Osiris commented after taking a sip.

Seth nodded in agreement, while thinking about the Sun Wine in the City of the Sun.

According to his fused memory, the sun wine brewed by Ra God is a peerless treasure!
Unfortunately, the last time they drank sun wine was given to them when they became the Lord God.

If you want to drink it again, unless there is the birth of a new Lord God.

However, among the thousands of gods, there are only about twenty main gods.

It can really be said that there is little hope.

"Set, why are you suddenly unhappy?" Osiris noticed Seth's mood and asked with concern.

Seth sighed and said, "I thought of Ra's sun wine."

Osiris understood, and he sighed: "I understand you."

After pitying each other for a while, Seth, Osiris, and Nephthys chatted and drank.

Of course, it's mostly Seth and Osiris chatting away.

Nephthys watched from the side, interjecting a word from time to time.

"Brother, there are people offering sacrifices in the nearby temple. I'll go there."

Suddenly, Osiris said to Seth.

After saying that, Osiris smiled meaningfully at Sai Qi.

Then he quickly left the temple.

Seth was confused and didn't understand why Osiris was smiling so much.

Until Set saw Nephthys on the side.

She looked at herself shyly, her eyes filled with different emotions.

At this moment Seth understood why Osiris was smiling so much, and he wanted to call Osiris back very much!

"Brother Seth." Nephthys said softly: "Mot, the blue and gold god, came to see me."

"Yeah." Seth didn't know what to say, so he just hummed.

Nephthys slowly approached Set.

"He professed his love for me and wanted to marry me."

"Yeah." Seth responded silently.

He knew this because he was the one who told Isis that the god of blue and gold loved Nephthys. Nephthys saw Seth's face remained as usual, bit his lip and said, "I rejected Mort."

"Do you know why, Brother Seth?"

"I don't know." Seth shook his head and said, "By the way, there is something I want to ask you."

"What's going on?" Nephthys was startled.

Set put down the wooden cup and raised the corner of his mouth: "Are you familiar with Best?"

"I want to know what she likes and what she doesn't like."

Hearing this, Nephthys looked in disbelief: "Brother Seth, do you admire Best?!"

"Yes." Seth admitted with a smile.

Nephthys's eyes were filled with tears. She turned around hurriedly and said, "I'm so happy."

"Brother Seth, you have someone you like. I'm so happy for you."

"Thank you." Seth asked again with a smile in his voice: "Nephthys, haven't you told me that you and Bethet are familiar with each other?"

"No." Nephthys turned her back to Set and shook her head: "I'm not familiar with her."

"I'm sorry that I can't help you, Brother Seth."

"Don't feel guilty." Seth smiled: "I think I'll ask Best in person, she should tell me."

"By the way, why did you reject the God of Blue and Gold?"

"...Because I don't like him." Nephthys said after a moment of silence.

"It doesn't matter, there are so many gods." Seth comforted Nephthys: "Find a god you like and he also likes you, and then get married."

"Yeah." Nephthys responded softly.

Set looked at Nephthys' slightly trembling back, feeling pity for Nephthys in his heart.

However, he trusts his memory more than Nephthys.

He did not want to be the Seth who raised a son for Osiris in the myth of his memory, was eventually defeated, and then died.

Furthermore, it is good that he integrated the original memory of Seth.

However, that was just a fusion of memories, and the leader was his emotion.

Therefore, he will not be in love with Nephthys like the original Seth.

As for Best, next time we meet, treat her to a barbecue with twice the spiciness.

With a silent sigh, Seth walked out of the temple and sat on a giant flower to take a nap.

In the temple, Nephthys was very puzzled.

She didn't understand that before Seth disappeared, Seth's eyes were filled with admiration for her.

In just a few decades, Seth's love disappeared.

He even deliberately interrupted her expression of love.

"Best, is it because of Beth?" Nephthys frowned and whispered: "If Seth can't do it, we can only change to another god..."

When Osiris returned, he saw Seth sitting on water lilies outside the temple and Nephthys sitting inside the temple.

With doubts, he walked to the giant flower of Seth's water lily.

Before he could speak, Seth sat up, moved his nose, and looked at Osiris: "Brother, did you accept the sacrifice?"

"When I passed by, the three hundred slaves who were sacrificed were already dead." Osiris sighed: "I accepted the sacrifice, and I can also give some protection to their souls."

"Lest their souls perish in the river Styx."

"You should refuse, brother." Seth disagreed with Osiris's approach: "Accepting the sacrifice is tantamount to compromise."

"Since we are going to offer sacrifices, we should strictly follow your rules, brother."

Osiris patted Seth on the shoulder and said, "I have told them not to sacrifice anymore."

"Stop talking about this, didn't Nephthys say anything to you?"

Seth shook his head: "She didn't say anything."

"It just means that she rejected the love of the God of Blue and Gold."
