The priest who presided over the ceremony was naturally Sozak. He is not very old, and when he got his status in his thirties, he was no worse than Immorton back then, and he could be called promising. However, he has a lot less than Immorton.

No, stop thinking about Immorton.

I stood side by side in the temple with Memphis, wearing a gorgeous gold-rimmed sacrificial robe, wearing a fragrant wood neck bead, the priest Sozak slowly chanted the blessing in a deep voice, his voice was low but the words were very clear, and the words bounced over the palm of his hand like droplets, and the whole sentence of the blessing poem was coherent, as if the water was continuous. Although there were a lot of people inside and outside the temple, they all held their breath at this moment, and it was as quiet as a silent wilderness.

Sozak was reading the Golden Book of the Sun, and he was reading one of them, with a pious and solemn expression.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered that when my father died, it was Kabuda reading the sacrifice at that time, right? I now remember that there was indeed a black scripture at that time, heavy and thick, exactly the same size and thickness as this golden sutra of the sun. Kabuda's recitation was a little slurred, his voice was not good, a little hoarse, but I don't know why I suddenly remembered Kabuda who was reading the Bible at that time, and the funeral scene suddenly appeared in front of me.

It's obviously a completely different thing, but how did this strange association come about? You can't wave it, and you can't drive it away.

I closed my eyes for a moment, and for a moment I felt like Sozak was reading the undead scriptures with a black scripture in his hand, and then in the blink of an eye, everything was still the same, and a hazy golden halo could still be seen under the fragrance of the temple. The temple is so ingenious that every year on the day of the Sun Festival, the sun's rays pass through the dome and reflect back at the current position of the statue. The gold-lacquered idol of the god looks shiny and shining, and the light is brilliant and dazzling. It is both sacred and awe-inspiring, and there is a ...... A sense of majesty that makes people breathless.

I was a little flustered for no reason, and turned my head slightly to look at Memphis.

Memphis held my hand tightly, his palms were very hot, and his eyes were intently looking at the tall statue of the sun god Ramon in front of him in the smoke, such an unwavering posture, as if even the countless dangers ahead could not block his way, nor could they rub his determination.

My heart seemed to settle a little steady, and I took his hand harder.

“…… Praise with the purest heart, praise the name of God, true love is as eternal as time! When the priest's prayer ended, Memphis and I lit a bouquet of incense and offered it to the stone table in front of the idol.

The people outside knew that the ceremony was a success, and they cheered, and for a moment their ears were filled with the sound that seemed to shake the earth, and Memphis spoke to me, and I did not hear what he said. But looking at the shape of his lips, it was as if he was just calling out my name.

At the entrance of the temple stood two rows of monks and musicians, dressed as gods, holding scepters or sacred objects symbolizing their respective deities, and they congratulated us. Dressed as the goddess of love, Arut, she handed me a bouquet of flowers and smiled happily and said, "Congratulations to Pharaoh, congratulations to the princess!" ”

Am I going to be called a princess in the future?

This part of the ceremony in the shrine in the palace is completed, and there is another part, along with the river festival, to be completed in the temple of the sun god outside the palace. There was a sacrifice in the middle, and Memphis himself was asked to hunt a lion as a sacrifice to the gods, and I did not go with him, but sailed through the hunting grounds, and went directly to the temple and re-ashore.

I suddenly remembered that in that old book, there was also a wedding, but Memphis did not marry me, but Carroll. When it comes to lion hunting...... Something went wrong.

The accident was caused by Isis and Izmi's men at the time, and the end result was that Carol was almost bitten off half of his shoulder by a lion, and he was seriously injured and fell down the Nile......

Now that the situation is the same, what about the matter? Will things be as twisty and tranquil as in the book?

Memphis saw my concern, hugged me gently, and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." I usually go to the hunting ground, and besides, today in Sinuye, their arrangements are very thoughtful, and everything will go well. ”

Of course, I know that the lions in the hunting ground are usually fed, and the so-called arrangement must have made the lion's energy and energy a way to make it much weaker than usual, plus Memphis with a team of men and horses, even if it can't be hunted, the chance of injury is not great.

"You have to be careful."

"I know," he said, thinking for a moment and adding, "so do you." ”

I watched him get on his horse and go, and the maids and ladies had invited me aboard.

From the boat, you can still see the hunting grounds, because the hunting grounds are almost on the banks of the river, and there is water and grass to keep the lions and other wild beasts. Just as there are snake slaves in the palace, there are also lion slaves in the hunting grounds, and they usually raise and tame animals.

I stood at the bow of the boat, its long lacquered and gold-painted boat paddling calmly across the river.

Then, one after another, other ships followed.

There were many guards on my left rear ship, and Sinuye was on that boat, but he did not see Unas. When the maid brought me fruit wine to quench my thirst, I saw Unas on my boat, standing on the side of the ship. Our eyes met in the air, and he slowly turned his head.

I took two sips of fruit wine, and the maid took the cup and stepped back.

On the right, a ship slowly followed, and I saw that the people on the boat were not dressed in Egyptian clothes, but I looked closely—they were Assyrians.

Did Assyria also send messengers?

Since the last time the city of Assyria was brought down by water, Egypt's relations with Assyria have never been incompatible. I didn't expect that Assyria would also have a messenger come this time, but I don't know who Lusha sent who is now the king of Assyria.

I have not intervened in these matters by Memphis and Idhombu, the reception of the messengers, or the arrangement of the ceremony, so it is not surprising to see the Assyrians now.

If you say so, then other countries ...... Messengers have also been sent, right?

Bitado...... I don't know if there are any initiatives. It seems unlikely that someone will be able to send someone to come, but since he hasn't publicly torn his face, it may not be possible to come. As for Minoa, there must have been a messenger sent to pick it up from Daoga. As for other countries......

I glanced around from afar, without a trace.

Really, people don't know what to say.

It's obviously a happy event and a grand ceremony, but there are so many ill-intentioned people snooping on the sidelines, how can people put their minds at ease.

Memphis's Lion Hunt ...... Nothing really could go wrong, right?
