Chapter 299 The High Priest of the Temple of Amun

The high priest of the Temple of Amun——

This is an incredible big shot.

In the history of another world, three hundred years later, Ramses I established the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt, and the high priest of the Temple of Amun established a new regime in the city of Thebes, only nominally submitting to Ramses I.

Later, Amonmesses, the high priest of the Temple of Amun, even wanted to challenge Pharaoh Seti II, the grandson of Ramses II, to end his nominal surrender, but was defeated by Seti II.

This situation in which the high priest of the Temple of Amun actually ruled southern Egypt for a long time and nominally submitted to the rulers of northern Egypt lasted for hundreds of years.

From this we can see how powerful the high priest of the Temple of Amon has.

It is precisely because of the huge power of the high priest of the Temple of Amun that many pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt died young because of their betrayal of the god Amun.

Knowing that the high priest of the Temple of Amon wanted to meet with him, Nafir stood up and said with a solemn expression.

"Bring in the high priest of the Temple of Amon quickly!"

After the general turned and left, Nafir said to himself.

"Should I greet the high priest in person?"

Roy immediately rolled his eyes and said.

"Naphiel! You are the female pharaoh who divided Egypt with Ahmose. If you personally greet the high priest of the Temple of Amun, it would be equivalent to treating the high priest of the Temple of Amun as an equal to you."

After hearing Roy's words, Nafir nodded in agreement.

After a while.

The general just now brought a middle-aged male priest and two young and beautiful priestesses to the barracks.

The leading middle-aged male priest walked into the barracks and bowed his head respectfully to Nafir.

"Daughter of the great god Amun, please accept my prayer for your blessing."

"Your Majesty the High Priest!"

Looking at the respectful high priest, Nafir said doubtfully.

"Why did you come all night to see me? If you have anything to discuss with me, you can send an envoy to see me."

"Daughter of the great god Amun, I have heard that you and His Majesty Ahemoth want to divide Egypt."

The high priest looked up at Nafir and said.

"You and His Majesty Ahmose divide Egypt. This is an internal matter within the Pharaoh family. Moreover, His Majesty Ahmose is the son of the moon god Amun, the son of the moon god [Ahmose]. You are the sun. The daughter of the god Amun, the daughter of the sun god and the son of the moon god, cannot interfere with the decisions made by servants like me, but I want to know whether the kingdom of northern Egypt you established will be used. Your father god Amon is regarded as the protector of the country.”

"So that's what you did."

Does the Northern Egyptian Kingdom ruled by Nafer regard Amon as the protector of the country——

This is indeed something worthy of the high priest of the Temple of Amun coming to confirm with Nafir overnight.

Because whether Amun becomes the protector of the Kingdom of Northern Egypt is not only related to the interests of the god Amun served by the high priest, but also the interests of the Amun temple.

According to tradition, Nafir worships Amon as the protector of the Kingdom of Northern Egypt, and the temple of Amun will also have huge power and interests in the Kingdom of Northern Egypt.

The person who really controls these powers and interests is obviously not God Amun, but the high priest of the Temple of Amun.

"Your Majesty the High Priest! Although I have the identity of the daughter of the god Amun, according to Egyptian tradition, my capital is the city of Itawee. I should be the patron saint of the city of Itawee like my ancestors four hundred years ago. The goddess Sekhmet is regarded as the protector of the Northern Kingdom of Egypt.”

After hearing Nafir's answer, the high priest said with an ugly expression.

"Princess Nafir! Traditions are not unbreakable. Since you want to break the tradition and inherit the throne, of course your father, Amon, must also break the tradition and become the protector of the Kingdom of Northern Egypt that you rule."

"But God Amon, as a male god, does not support the princess to inherit the throne!"

Nafir frowned and said.

"Because Goddess Sekhmet is a goddess, the Sekhmet Temple will support me in becoming a female pharaoh."

"We have no objection to you becoming a female pharaoh, we just want you to ascend the throne with your husband or son."

Having said this, the high priest looked at Roy and said.

"Your husband or son should become the son of the great god Amun, and god Amun will also grant them blessings and divine power, allowing them to become the most powerful heroes."

When the topic came to him, Roy stood up and said expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty the High Priest, I am not interested in becoming the son of God Amun, nor am I interested in God Amun's blessings and divine power."

Hearing Roy's words, the high priest's face became even more ugly.

His eyes returned to Nafir and he said.

"Princess Nafir! No matter what, you cannot betray God Amun. You must regard God Amun as the protector of the country."

Seeing the troubled expression on Nafir's face, Roy teased with a joking smile.

"You asked Nafir to worship Amun as the protector of the country, so what can you and Amun do for Nafir?"

The high priest was silent for a moment and said with a cold face.

"The Temple of Amun is willing to support Princess Nefer to become the female pharaoh of all Egypt! Princess Nefer, as a pure-blood princess of the Pharaoh family, your inheritance rights are higher than your brother Ahmose. As long as you defeat Ahmose, By inheriting the throne in Thebes and becoming a female pharaoh, the Kingdom of Egypt will not need to be divided, and the goddess Sekhmet will not become the protector of the country with the same status as Amun. "

"I have decided to divide Egypt with my brother Jahmose."

The high priest actually wanted to trick himself into killing the Yahmos brothers and sisters, Nafir said with an unhappy expression.

"Your Majesty the High Priest, I pretend that I didn't hear what you just said. Please leave!"

"Princess Nafir! As long as you are willing, you can become the queen of more than 20 city-states in the Kingdom of Egypt!"

Nafir turned his back to the high priest with an even more displeased expression, and the high priest could only turn around and leave helplessly.

After the high priest left, Nafir immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"My father and brother Kamos both said that the high priest of the Temple of Amon is dangerous. It seems that the high priest is not as scary as I thought. When I return to Itawui City, I will never have to see the high priest again. "

Outside the military camp.

After the high priest left the military camp with the two priestesses, he took his own carriage and returned to the city of Thebes under the protection of a group of temple soldiers.

Lying in the carriage and enjoying the service of the two priestesses, the high priest said with a sinister expression.

"In order for the great god Amun to become the protector of all Egypt, and for the temple of Amun to be spread in every city in Egypt, we must not allow the Kingdom of Egypt to be divided. For the sake of the great god Amun, and for our temple of Amun, For the sake of the complete Kingdom of Egypt, let Your Majesty Ahmose go to see Osiris, the god of the underworld!”

The city of Thebes.

Pharaoh's palace.

In the palace of Ahmose, a cobra appeared silently, and both the male and female servants turned a blind eye to it.

Because these male and female servants were told that as long as they remained silent, they could complete the great mission of helping Princess Nafir regain the throne, and they would be dedicated to the great god Amun.

Their practical righteousness and devotion to faith were enough to make them betray Pharaoh Ahemoth.

Of course, this was also because Ahmose had just inherited the throne and had no time to cultivate them into die-hard loyalists.

Almost forgot!
