The sun shines in Egypt, but it will also set.

Night also came as promised.

They camped near the pyramids, and Ramses II had to understand the current power structure of the world before making plans.

In the middle of the temple there is a hall flanked by ancient Egyptian frescoes, and in the middle of the hall is a long corridor surrounded by round stout stone pillars, the middle of which is wrapped in gold and depicted with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Both the West and the East like to use large columns in palaces, and its support is one thing, and the round stout pillars also give a sense of atmosphere.

At the end of the hall there were two ascending staircases, flanked by two magnificent idols, and at the top of the staircase was a throne.

People stood in the hall and could only look up at the person sitting on the throne.

And at this moment, Ramses II sat on the throne, his elbow on the armrest of the throne, and the back of his right hand supporting the right cheek, quietly looking down at Theodore below.

He was now bowing his head and telling Ramses II about the pattern of the world.

Simon and the others were also here, they were originally going to leave, but they were left behind by Ramses, who asked them to tell him the history of his death.

After a moment, Ramses II said calmly.

"So, now Egypt is ruled by this Turkish Empire called the Ottoman Empire, right?"

"Yes." Theodore bowed, "However, they don't have a strong control over Egypt, or rather, they have never cared about Egypt, and they have always let the Egyptians develop freely.

The Ottomans in Egypt were more than 10,000 at all.

And they're now attracted to Beichen, so if you want to reclaim your territory, it should be easy for you to do so. ”

Ramses II did not answer, but looked into the distance and whispered in a low voice.

"If you start counting from Macedonia, the ancient Egyptian civilization has been extinct for nearly two thousand years."

The High Priest Elidon, who was standing beside Raji, was silent for a moment and said, "This is also what we guessed at the beginning, after the gods disappear, the fall of Egypt is inevitable. ”

Theodore, who was standing at the bottom, couldn't help but raise his head and look at Ramses II, and after a moment of silence, he said.

"Pharaoh, what are you going to do with the Arabs in Egypt if you rule Egypt?"

Ramses II lowered his eyes and looked at Theodore below, and he hooked the corners of his mouth.

"I take back my previous opinion, you do have a bit of a king's appearance like this."

Theodore lowered his eyes and said nothing, as if waiting for his answer, and after a moment he continued.

"You probably don't know. Egypt now. Actually, most of them are Arabs."

When he said this, his heart was actually ready for the anger of the person in front of him.

But what he didn't expect was that Ramses II not only did not show anger, but slowly raised the corners of his mouth and asked him a question.

"Do you think ancient Egypt was a people or a civilization?"

Theodore fell silent, he didn't know anything about these things.

"I don't know."

"You don't understand the difference between civilization and nation, do you?" Raji continued to ask.

Theodore nodded.

Raji explained patiently.

"The so-called civilization is the sum total of the humanistic spirit and inventions accumulated in all human history with writing as the carrier.

Such as literature, art, education, and science, civilization encompasses the relationship between people, people and society, and people and nature.

It is a manifestation of the high development of human beings.

Civilization, on the other hand, is inherited by the blood ties of the nation.

But "

Ramses II's words paused, and then continued.

"Is it because of civilization that a nation is formed, or is it because of a nation that civilization is formed?"

Seeing that Theodore was still silent, Ramses II did not continue to play dumb riddles, but said.

"The two are interrelated, and a nation is a collective formed by the use of a unified script and a unified culture, that is, a nation by civilization.

But civilization was also created because of such a group of people who used a unified script, and because of this nation, civilization was formed.

But in other words, the word and the culture in which it is formed are the key.

But this thing is not a living being, that is, any intelligent life can be its carrier.

If there is such a foreign race, using the script and culture of another civilization, is it a member of this nation? ”

Theodore's eyes were a little confused, but soon, Ramses II said something that made him feel like his worldview was shattered.

"If, I say, most of your blood comes from the ancient Egyptians, would you believe it?"

Theodore's pupils constricted slightly.

"The ancient Egyptians actually always existed." Ramses II calmly said, "It's just that during the more than 1,000 years that he was constantly occupied, it was also more than 1,000 years that the ancient Egyptians in this land were constantly being Arabized."

They no longer consider themselves ancient Egyptians, but Arabs.

The ancient Egyptians were also related to the Arabs.

If you look at the world as a whole, going back tens of millions of years, people may still have a common ancestor.

So, blood is not as important as you think.

The basis for determining whether a civilization exists is writing and culture.

As long as he is a human being, willing to learn Egyptian culture, Egyptian writing, then he is Egyptian. ”

In fact, there are not many Egyptians who are capable of fighting in the Reed Field, but the most valuable thing about these people is that they have systematic knowledge of ancient Egyptian civilization.

These people are the spark of civilization.

Ramses II looked at Theodore.

"Do you understand?"

Theodore had a slight distraction in his eyes, which was undoubtedly ahead of his time in an era dominated by nationalism.

But Theodore couldn't deny that the presence in front of him did make sense.

His heart trembled, not knowing whether it was because of fear or because of the pattern that Ramses II had revealed when he said the last words.

As the leader of the rebels, he knew exactly what this statement meant.

If the concept can really be extended.

That's exactly what he said before.

Where the sun shines, where the yellow sand flies.

It's all Egypt!

He let out a long puff of air, and he shouted the salutation he had just learned to make a gesture of reverence to Raji.

"I see, Pharaoh."

The corners of Laer's mouth hooked an imperceptible arc, "Stand back." ”

He looked at Gallant and the others beside him, "Let me talk to these friends from other countries." ”

Theodore bowed, he turned his head and walked away from the palace, but compared to the previous gloom, he seemed to have figured out something, and his mood seemed to be slightly better.

He felt that his horizons had been broadened a lot, and he had a different perspective on the world.

His grandfather said that the pharaohs of ancient Egypt were all children of the gods and possessed the wisdom of the gods, and now that I think about it, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Raji looked at Simon.

"Tell your emperor what is happening in Egypt.

Then, tell him that if he wants to unify Germany and regain the lands to the south.

Come and talk to us."

Simon and Gallant left the palace, and he needed to hurry back and tell the Kaiser about the changes in Egypt.

Gallant intends to continue his research on alchemy, which requires a certain amount of financial support, so he also chooses to follow Simon back.

It is undeniable that if alchemy can really refine the Philosopher's Stone, it can really prolong his life, but he has no way to refine it now.

So in a sense, this can also give the Kaiser a reply.

Seeing Simon leave, Ramses II turned his head to look not far away.

"Come out......"

At his side of the throne, Char's figure slowly appeared.

"Mr. Merlin."

Eliden apparently recognized him as well.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Raji, as if he realized something, and turned his head sharply to look at Char.

Next, Raji's words confirmed his guess.

"Fei made so much effort to pull Yu out of the long river of time." Raji looked at Char, "What is your purpose?" ”

"Did it take a lot of effort?" Char raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't think so." ”

Raji was silent for a moment.

"You don't want to say it, do you?"

"Egypt is a very ancient civilization." Char said, "It is a pity that such a civilization has dissipated in the long river of history like this." ”

Char raised her eyebrows and let out a flirtatious nasal sound, as if she was thinking.

"If there's another reason, it's that I'm comfortable living in the Reed Plain."

"Just because of that?"

"Isn't that enough?"

Raji fell silent again, just as he had told Elidon before.

Pull him out of the long river of time, who has completely dissipated from the world.

This is a power that even the gods cannot do.

The casualness of the person in front of him is an outrageous but reasonable answer.

That's a kind of freedom and casualness after having absolute power.

"Yu can feel that Yu is a little different from the past." "The current Yu may really be able to revive Egypt."

In any case, you are the benefactor of Egypt.

If in the future, you have nothing left to accomplish.

As long as Yu can do it, Yu can promise you. ”

Char smiled, "Maybe it will really use you." ”

After a pause, he continued, "But. . . Let's wait for you to revive Egypt.

I am looking forward to the re-emergence of a civilization called Egypt in this world.

And not a country called Egypt. ”

Char took a step back.

"So. See you soon. ”

Then, slowly, he disappeared in place.

For a time, only Ramses II and Elaidon were left in the entire palace.

Elidon came back to his senses, "Who the hell is he?" ”

"Yu doesn't know." Raji muttered softly, "However, it is certain that in this age when the gods have long since disappeared, He is the one with absolute power.

How did he get into the Reed Fields? ”

"I don't know." "They came in in a group of people, and two of them found the contents of the ancient Egyptian script and jade script that I wanted to learn.

I didn't want these things to disappear completely, so I taught them all.

And the man had been living in the village with a very beautiful woman, and they really liked the reed plains.

They are all living people, and I don't know how they got in. ”

"It's easy for this being to get into the Reed Plain." Raji muttered in a low voice, "Merlin, we might be able to look it up later."

But then."

Raji raised his head and looked quietly at the end of the palace.

"We have a lot of things to do."
