Chapter 55: Celebration

"Stop!" The guard at the door stopped Li Yi, who was about to enter the temple. It's a special day, and it's hard not for them to be vigilant.

"What's wrong? Can't we go in? Li Yizhi didn't notice the guard at the door, this was actually the first time he had come to this world's temple.

He had forgotten that the temples of this world did have gods, so he still couldn't enter them without permission. And Godric also thought that Li Yi knew about it, so they didn't stop him for a while.

When the guards saw him stop, they said no more, it was not their duty to explain things to the visitors.

"What's going on? Why are temples so strictly inspected now? Li Yi asked Rowena, looking at her expression, as if he knew something.

"Yi, you really lack common sense here, ordinary people in Egyptian temples can only enter the temple on festivals or days limited by the pharaohs. And wizards like us can't enter unless they show proof. Because we are powerful, the gods will be wary of us. ”

Rowena explained to Li Yi.

"I see." Li Yi nodded in understanding, and took out Sidney's token from his folding pocket, which was the status symbol of his priestly friend he had given them. It was a wooden statue of a kitty eagle.

"So, now we can go in, right?" Li Yi showed the token to the guards.

"This is ......" One of the guards saw the statue in Li Yi's hand, it was the statue of Horus, representing the priest of Horus.

"Honorable guests, please forgive these ignorant gatekeepers, is Your Excellency the High Priest alright? He is said to be preparing for the coronation of the new king. ”

A priest dressed in black sacrificial clothes walked out of the door and walked straight to Li Yi, he saw the token in Li Yi's hand, and understood that they were friends of the high priest, so naturally he didn't dare to slack off.

Although the god he worshipped was not Horus, but Isis. But both Horus's status as the son of Isis and his status as the future king determined that Horus's priesthood rose to the top.

"Everyone, please come with me, I don't know why you came to the frontier of this kingdom?" The priest knocked on the side of Li Yi and the others, hoping to know from the words what they had come for.

"We just want to go to Cairo and recuperate here for the time being." Li Yi directly stated his purpose, "Do you have a way to get to Cairo quickly, we have found a strange phenomenon on the Mediterranean coast, and we need to report it to His Excellency High Priest Terry." ”

When the priest heard what Li Yi said, he did not doubt it, so he directly took Li Yi and the others to the place where the carriage of the temple was.

"These are the temple's expedited carriages, and it's only a day's journey from here to Egypt. A few adults, I don't know if it's okay? The priest said cautiously to the men.

Looking at these gorgeous carriages, Li Yi and the others did not stop, but directly got into the carriage and drove the carriage directly towards Cairo.

The carriage was on the road to the capital of Egypt, and occasionally it was met by other people, who were also on their way to Cairo, black and white, rich and poor, some dressed in fine clothes and driving beautiful carriages, some dressed in tattered clothes and walking on the road with only one pair of feet.

"How can so many people be heading towards Cairo? What are they doing here? Li Yi looked at the situation encountered on the road, and his heart was not only full of questions.

With the blessing of magic, the carriage quickly reached Cairo, and it took only half a day.

After arriving in Cairo, Li Yi found that the whole of Cairo seemed to be celebrating something.

The Egyptians were crowded with people, and they made their way through the crowd. Lots of people are preparing items for the celebration. Everyone has a gift in their hand.

Or a delicate and ornate gemstone, or a plate of precious utensils made of gold, or a fashionable and beautiful dress, or some beautiful bouquet......

Apparently these may be celebratory gifts for someone. The crowd marched towards the center of the square, where countless obelisks stood on the land of Cairo, the glory of the gods.

Huge statues of the gods of Genshin Impact are scattered among the buildings of Cairo, and their height is only matched by the nearby obelisks, and in Cairo's main square, a ceremony is about to begin.

Li Yi and they cast their magic, and all the people on the road they were about to walk through would unconsciously get out of the way, so they walked in front of the wide square.

The square is surrounded by towering buildings, and the white-clothed maiden holds a flower basket and sprinkles white petals from the high city walls, and the crowd looks like it covers the entire square from above.

The statue of the sun god Ra with the sun on his head stands at the gate of the square, and the two statues stand opposite each other, filled with the boiling power of faith.

People laid down their offerings in front of the high platform in the center of the square, with a roll of thatch, a bouquet of flowers, and a basket of fruit......

On the high platform, the gods of Egypt took their seats in turn, and the old king Orisses and his queen Isis sat in the center. Prince Horus, who was to be crowned king today, stood beside them, and the other gods took their seats in their own personhoods.

Li Yi and the others were very interested in the Egyptian gods, because there were many differences between the Egyptian gods and the gods they knew on the European continent.

The Egyptian gods were about 1.5 times the size of normal people, their blood was golden, and they also took two forms, one was a human and the other was an animal-headed human god.

When they switch to their god form, their combat power is greatly increased.

The high priest proclaimed the gods who had come to this place from the stage.

"Geb! God of the Earth! ”

"Hartol! Goddess of Love! ”

Hathor, the goddess of love, is the most beautiful god in Egypt, and legend has it that people and others who have not yet found their other half in their hearts will be attracted to her.

"Knightfess! Guardian Goddess! ”

A tall goddess descended from the flying boat pulled by the birds, slowly walked across the high platform, and saluted Osiris, Isis, and the future king Horus on the platform. It was a ritual of reverence among the Egyptian gods.

"Thoth! God of Wisdom! ”

A man with a golden mesh cover holding a box sat down on a high platform and set it aside. Praise to Horus.

One by one, the gods walked from the high platform and offered their blessings to Horus.

At the end of the session, the high priest began the next session with a prayer.

"Glory...... Osiris...... King of all Egypt! ”

Then the high priest withdrew, and Osiris stepped down from his throne and went to the edge of the high platform to begin his speech.
