Chapter 1: The Missing Traveler
“…… According to the ancient legend, when Sirius appeared,
The dazzling golden maiden stands on the banks of the Nile,
That was the daughter of Harpy, the goddess of the Nile.
Her posture is as graceful as the Nile,
Her smile bewitched everyone.
The daughter of the goddess of the Nile will bless me Egypt.
O Nile, thou art the god of Egypt, thou art the law of Egypt, and I Egypt will always follow thee."
- Hosokawa Chieiko "Daughter of the Nile" (formerly known as "The Royal Family's Coat of Arms")
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The light of Venus slowly fades from the night sky that is gradually brightening.
The sun rose on the horizon, and the earth was vast and empty in the morning mist.
The meandering Nile River rests on the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert, flowing quietly in the morning breeze and glittering in the golden morning sun.
This eternal river brought green and life to the desert and nourished the glorious ancient Egyptian civilization.
- The mysterious pyramids, the mysterious Sahara, the mysterious Nile...... In this mysterious land, the human world is born and died in the changes of time and space, and the Egyptians believed in the immortality of the soul and believed that true life began with death.
Time flows quietly, human beings are derived from generation to generation, and only the sun witnesses this qiē eternally.
Although with the passage of time, the ancient Egyptian civilization has been annihilated in the dust of history, the ancient documents that have been handed down to this day only record the glorious pieces of the feather for thousands of years, and the monuments that have gone through several vicissitudes are full of years of wind and frost. Despite this, generations of archaeologists have been fascinated by the historical charm of ancient Egypt. Because in every corner of the Nile, there seem to be traces of ancient civilization that mankind has been proud of.
But at this moment, this vanished civilization is vividly displayed in front of the eyes of some time travelers.
-- The scorching sun, the vast golden desert, the rippling rivers and canals, the white sails on the Nile, the lush reeds and palm trees, the ancient stone statues half-buried in the dunes, the shirtless farmers gathered in the shade...... At the end of the spectrum, a magnificent ancient city surrounded by high walls and temples looms behind vast wheat fields and date palm trees.
A kilometer away from the bank of the Nile, on a bare rocky mountain, Wang Qiu, dressed in desert camouflage camouflage, put away his binoculars.
“…… Ahem, judging from the topography, this should be the capital of the New Kingdom era of ancient Egypt - 'the capital of a hundred gates, Thebes.' Of course, this is the saying of the Chinese big 6, and the Taiwanese side seems to translate it as Debecheng, just as they translate Georgia into Georgia......"
The cool air unique to the early morning has long dissipated, and facing the gusts of hot wind mixed with fine sand, he coughed slightly while whispering to Senior Sister Ma Tong who was lying beside him, "...... Of course, the world we are in now is not the real ancient Egypt in history, but the plot space of the shoujo manga "Daughter of the Nile", and there may be some subtle differences in geography......"
“…… Hey, Senior Brother Wang Qiu, these things don't matter at all, okay? ”
Senior Sister Ma Tong, who was also wearing a desert camouflage camouflage cloth, turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, "...... Now we need to investigate clearly, the first is where the time-traveler who was left behind in this time and space is staying, and the second is where the plot of "Daughter of the Nile" has progressed......"
“…… Senior Sister Ma Tong, if you ask me about this kind of thing, who should I ask? Although I have known that the plot has been started for three years, ......"
Wang Qiu smiled helplessly, "...... "Daughter of the Nile" is not "Harry Potter", there is almost no clear year and date from beginning to end, and the infinite space newcomer named Zhang Daniu who unfortunately fell into this plot space feels really strange - say that he has no ability, as a pampered modern person, he was thrown to ancient Egypt more than 3,000 years ago in a daze without preparation, and he can still hold on alive for three years, and he has not died until now, It's hard enough. Let's say that he has the ability, as a dignified time-traveler, he has lived in ancient Egypt for three years, and he has not disturbed this world at all, and he has not even obtained a reward point...... What should people say about him? Alas, this damn weather, I feel like I'm about to turn into a teppanyaki...
He wiped the sweat from his dripping sweat and poured a drink into his mouth desperately, "...... It's hard to imagine that there is such a hot place in the world......"
-- By the way, the summer days in Thebes, the ancient capital of Egypt, are extremely hot, with surface temperatures often reaching as high as 50 degrees Celsius......
This is the new goal that Wang Qiu and Ji Qì Cat are about to explore, and it is also the immigration place they arranged for those survivors of the world of "School Apocalypse".

When it comes to Japanese shoujo manga, there is a classic that has to be mentioned. That is Hosokawa Chieiko's "Daughter of the Nile" (formerly known as "The Royal Family's Coat of Arms"). The manga began in 1976 and remained unfinished in the 21st century, but it has remained popular and enduring, forming an extremely large fan base in Japan and abroad. Over the years, "Daughter of the Nile" has not only not seen the shadow of a rest, but the pattern has become bigger and bigger, the foreshadowing has become more and more buried, and the scene has become more gorgeous and grand, which can be called an immortal legend in shoujo comics.
As a result, generations of shoujo comic book fans have fallen on this immortal comic book masterpiece, looking forward to the final ending of this comic book for decades, and the speculation about the final belonging of the Nile Daughter is also varied, and there is no conclusive conclusion.
From a literary point of view, "Daughter of the Nile" tells a fantastical and romantic love story through time and space, and the synopsis of the whole set of comics is like this - Kyrol Lido, a modern American girl who was born in a rich oil family and loves archaeology, was cursed by the ancient Egyptian queen Isis due to the excavation of the tomb of the ancient Egyptian royal family, and as a result, she crossed time from modern times to ancient Egypt, and then fell in love with the Egyptian king Memphis, and changed from an ordinary girl to a princess-level character. Get embroiled in one endless whirlpool of wars and politics.
In ancient Egypt in the comics, as the only gold-white person in Egypt at that time, Carol's brilliant gold, delicate appearance, and fair and soft skin, coupled with the brilliant mind of modern people in the twentieth century, and the common sense of history that flows backwards, created a peerless beauty who combines beauty, wisdom and the ability to predict the future, thus becoming the object of heartthrobship among princes and kings of various countries near the Mediterranean
As the male protagonist, Memphis, the king of Egypt, is a wild and uninhibited, even a little brutal typical ancient monarch, who never hides his almost crazy possessiveness for Carol. In the beginning, Carole's is always running away, because Mephis's love is too hot, and there is a kind of ruthlessness that can burn everything. However, such a tyrant with wild blood flowing in his body, desperate for love, rampage, and going to the fire, has also become the prince charming in the hearts of thousands of girls - the feeling of being loved fiercely still makes most girls feel enthusiastic, and most of the little girls who have wonderful fantasies about love will always be fascinated by this wild breath of love.
In the pen of Aunt Chieko Hosokawa, in order to highlight the greatness of this epic love, the love process of Memphis and Cairol has been extremely difficult, mixed with countless palace fights, wars, adventures, conflicts, and the competition for Cairol by the magnates of various countries.
But it is this kind of bright love spark that bursts out in the pursuit of each other, which makes the little girls feel fascinated the most.
Many hairy little girls are red-faced, and their hearts are deer, and thousands of tastes linger in their chests, dreaming that they will grow up to be as different as the Nile daughters, loved by many powerful boys, and even beautiful enough to start a war between many men......
In short, "Daughter of the Nile", which has not been released yet, as one of the classic milestones in Japanese shoujo manga, has added more and more beautiful and beautiful dreamy secrets to the girls who love to dream. For loyal shoujo manga fans, it is a literary masterpiece that should not be missed.
As for from a realistic point of view...... "God, this is clearly the originator of the brainless Mary Sue, or it is not over." -- Wang Qiuyu.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the eyes of male readers who call themselves "intellectual", most of the worlds depicted in girly romance manga and novels are very brain-dead.
From the Qing Dynasty Piercing Palace Fighting Drama of China's Big 6, to Taiwan's Qiong Yao's invincible works of true love, and then to the stories of various Virgin Mary Sue in China, Japan and South Korea...... Basically, the collapse of thinking has reached the point where people can't help but slap the table hard and shout "This is unscientific".
Of course, it is not for nothing that realistic girl love comics that make people feel that the background is real and logical and reasonable. But "Daughters of the Nile," the brainless Mary Suvin, is definitely not one of them - look at how many flaws this novel has
First of all, the entire civilization of the Middle East in the comics seems to have never seen such a golden-skinned human race as Cairol, so they worship her as the daughter of the Nile god...... Well, before the great migration of peoples, the ancient peoples around the Mediterranean were indeed dominated by black and brown, and if you want to get a golden girl, you have to find it in the Black Forest in Germany or Ukraine on the other side of the Black Sea, and in the fourteenth century BC, when the comic book was born, the Greeks and Phoenicians did not begin to colonize seafaring, and international exchanges were not so frequent - but as well-informed ruling class magnates, if they did not see it with their own eyes, they should at least have heard from merchants or envoys, There are some golden-skinned foreigners in the far north, and if they don't know anything about them, it feels as strange as the Jiangnan people in the Song and Yuan dynasties didn't know that the Japanese were dwarfs
If the rarity of the white-skinned golden girl in the Middle East and Egypt can be barely explained by the infrequent population movement in ancient times, then the next hard injury makes people even more ignorant of what to say - when Carole traveled to ancient Egypt, it was just when the old king of ancient Egypt died, and the new king Memphis and his sister Isis ascended the throne, and were ready to marry according to the tradition of marriage between close relatives of the ancient Egyptian royal family...... So far, it's pretty much logical and the political traditions of ancient Egypt, but the problem lies in the titles of the siblings: the old king's will actually divides Egypt in two, with Memphis ruling Upper Egypt in the Nile Valley, and Isis becoming the queen of Lower Egypt ruling the Nile Delta
-- The peaceful kingdom that has been unified for many years has been inexplicably divided into two halves...... Such a strange thing seems to be comparable in history only to the division of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires. But the problem is that since the unification of ancient Egypt in 1oo BC, except for a few brief foreign invasions and full-scale civil wars, there is no tradition of division and separation, and the whole society is naturally yearning for unity. And the ancient Egypt in the background of the comics, there is no need to split at all, it seems that the author has come up with such a strange setting in order to give Isis a queen's title.
However, the author seems to be aware of this, so he soon caused Memphis to fall out with Isis, depose the royal sister as queen of Lower Egypt, and marry Isis far away from Babylon, thus easily unifying Egypt again...... Well, it feels like it's speechless.
On the other hand, the heroine Carol's experience after being cursed to travel to ancient Egypt is also a golden thigh and the protagonist's aura along the way - first fainted and died in a reed on the bank of the Nile, but was saved by a kind slave. When Horn Kairol woke up, she always kept shouting that she was from the twentieth century, that she did not belong to this era, and that she was going to find Queen Isis and ask Isis to take her home
――Just seeing this, it already makes everyone who knows something about ancient Egypt feel very powerless: Ancient Egypt is completely a slave dynasty of divine power and royal supremacy, this naïve American girl should be said to be looking for death? Or are you looking for death? Or are you looking for death?
Fortunately, although this American girl has no brains, she has the aura of the protagonist - Carol, who has been talking about going home all day long, meets the handsome Egyptian king Memphis under the aura of the powerful heroine. After a trilogy of kissing Memphis's instep, slapping Mafis, and saving Memphis from being bitten by a poisonous snake, Memphis falls in love with this special girl. Of course, in addition to these, Carole also knew how to turn sewage into clean water and how to forge iron swords...... In addition, she has golden eyes and white skin that are different from those of the Egyptians, and as a result, she is respected as the daughter of the Nile, and it is such a little girl from another world who has become the daughter of the gods, and her influence has even surpassed that of Queen Isis, who is in charge of the temple
Next, the Hittite Empire in Asia Minor (translated as Bitado in Taiwan) disappeared in Egypt for some reason because of the princess Midavin who came to make peace - in fact, it was Queen Isis, who was in love with her younger brother, who secretly killed her because of her madness, so in order to take revenge on the evil deeds of the Egyptians. The Hittite prince Izmi himself infiltrated Egypt and took the Nile daughter captive.
As a result, the Egyptian king Memphis was furious and turned red, decisively launched a war, and snatched back his golden-eyed fiancée.
The rest of the story repeats the cycle of the heroine Carole, who is lost or abducted again and again, and then Memphis takes back the Nile daughter again and again, during which poor Miss Carole experiences such things as being bitten by poisonous snakes, gnawed by lions, swallowed by crocodiles, slashed with knives, burned by fire, thrown into the Dead Sea, lost children, and sold into slavery...... Waiting for ordinary people to be reincarnated for 1J times of tragedy and suffering, but still stubbornly immortal, continue to stand by the side of the Egyptian king Memphis, waving and smiling at the subjects who love her.
In this brain-dead and fierce battle for the daughter of the Nile, from the Hittites to Assyria to Babylon to Minos on the island of Crete, almost all the top ancient civilizations in the Middle East have come to participate. To this end, the Egyptians first dammed the city of Assyria, set a fire to the Tower of Babel in Babylon, and clashed with Minoan, the Mediterranean overlord of Crete...... It can be seen that this Cairol is really a disaster for moving
Moreover, Miss Carroll, who had an awkward relationship with Memphis, returned to the modern world several times as if she had unfolded, and even met a wealthy Arab billionaire, which made the other party fall in love at first sight, and she would not marry...... Alas, everybody loves Carol
In addition, in fact, there are many things that do not correspond to reality in this comic: in ancient Egypt, both men and women, generally reached adulthood at the age of twelve or thirteen, which is similar to ancient China. And whether it is Memphis or Isis, one is seventeen years old and the other is twenty years old and they are not married, but they just have a marriage contract, which is really uncommon. Especially Mefezi, there is not a single woman in the courtyard, which is too unreasonable
It's good that Queen Isis would be jealous as a woman, but how could she have grown up with an ancient tradition, and she should know in her heart that the king could not be the only woman, how could she kill the princess of the Hittite Empire so impulsively? What a good marriage partner
In the end, Memphis, who had been recklessly fighting for the daughter of Nil, would still be revered by all the people of Upper and Lower Egypt. There was little to be gained from such a waste of money - several major battles were fought, and only one seaport city was captured, but no one raised any objections
- Well, in the world of shoujo manga, those princes and kings do seem to be quite idle, and they don't take care of government affairs from morning to night, and they are not afraid of being usurped when they leave the court for a long time......
All in all, the strange world of "Daughter of the Nile" is just a shell of an ancient Middle Eastern civilization, and the characters think strangely as if they were born in the ancient Western slave society - and of course completely different from modern people. Especially in the political, military, and people's livelihood aspects, they have been weakened to the point where they almost do not exist. The main theme of the whole world seems to be love, and the only iron law that cannot be changed is that "everyone loves Carol", if it is a powerful figure in other countries, it will be very strange to think that "if you get the daughter of the Nile, you can get Egypt"?
Well, it's the ideal ancient world in girly romance comics anyway, and there is no need to complain too much about certain things.
But on the other hand, this world is also a very suitable place for colonists from other worlds to settle - first, in this era, the whole Mediterranean world is still very empty, and there are places where they can settle their homes, and hundreds of people can cross the sea and move to one place to build cities and establish states, and they still abound in the next thousand years, such as the founding of Rome and Carthage.
Second, the millions of people of ancient Egypt and the accompanying trade routes ⊥allowed the newcomers to use commercial means to obtain the necessary manpower and goods from the country, as well as markets for the sale of manufactured goods, and means of communication with the rest of the civilized world. If you can do the public relations work of the daughter of the Nile, a "modern compatriot", and directly seek the recognition of the Egyptian royal family, then the situation will be even more ideal.
Third, in general, ancient Egypt was a relatively moderate civilization, and because it already occupied the most fertile land in the entire Mediterranean civilization world, the Egyptians had little incentive to expand and plunder abroad. Throughout the Old and Middle Kingdoms, which lasted for more than a thousand years, Egyptian armies never conquered lands outside the Nile Valley on a large scale. Even during the relatively warlike New Kingdom, the Egyptians focused their attacks only on Palestine in Asia (then called the Land of Canaan) and Nubia on the upper Nile River in the south, largely ignoring the other nations and tribes around them, and never contemplating them...... Therefore, it is more reassuring to settle down next to the ancient Egyptian kingdom.
What's more, according to the "Book of Travel", a Chinese newcomer named "Zhang Da Niu" has been living here successfully for three years, although in these long three years, this Mr. Zhang Da Niu has strangely never been able to get even a single reward point, but this does not prevent Wang Qiu and Doraemon from seeing him as another bridge to communicate with ancient Egyptian society in the refugee resettlement plan they booked
However, when they really crossed into the world of "Daughter of the Nile", Wang Qiu and Doraemon had an unexpected trouble:
Where is this Chinese traverser named "Zhang Daniu" hiding?
