My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1095 1093. The Feast of the King - Extra chapter for "Old Luther Blues" [1515]

The history Murphy was asking about was too far back.

The Eden District of the Golden Age was established around 500 years BC, and what he was asking about were things before the Golden Age. At that time, the immigrants from the Eden District had not yet arrived in this world. That was the real "ancient times."

However, the Songhai people, the indigenous people of this world, actually recorded some things about that time.

Of course, as indigenous people, they had not yet developed their own writing in that ancient era, so the so-called records were ancient knotted cord records. Rather than being orthodox history, they were more like some legends and myths about distant times, and most of them were incomplete.

But Murphy noticed an intriguing detail in Pharaoh's description.

After the reception dinner ended perfectly at midnight, when Murphy, the tipsy Trish and Adele, who had watched the dance all night, returned to their temporary residence, he said to Trish:
"The Pharaoh told me that his ancestors once recorded a poem praising the 'first leader'. The poem described a story about a courageous queen who led the first Songhai people out of the oasis and toward the sea of ​​sand.

Although he himself cannot confirm the authenticity of this poem, as far as I know, there were no female pharaohs in the Songhai Empire, right?"

"Well, no, all eleven pharaohs, including Thutmose II, were men."

Even when drunk, the great historian Tris was still able to accurately tell the answers behind those historical questions. She said eloquently:

"As far as I know, the situation faced by the Songhai people at the beginning of the era was not optimistic. After all, you have seen the terrain of the Land of Origin. It takes great perseverance to cross the vast yellow sand and connect the clans in different oases to form a common civilization.

It is said that the first few pharaohs spent their entire lives traveling in the sea of ​​sand. At that time, they were still collecting and praying for powerful relics of the Creator. Therefore, it was difficult for delicate women to take on such a heavy responsibility, and the customs of that time became traditions.

This was then solidified into a rule, so that the Pharaoh's choice was passed down only among men.

The Songhai Empire's unique system of selecting kings by thirty-three pilgrim families also deepened this tradition. Because royal power must be constantly rotated, the biggest problem with women serving as heads of state is that the inheritance sequence will be transferred and the transfer of royal power will be completed in an uncontrolled manner.

This is a hidden danger that the Pilgrim families must avoid.

Of course, the status of women in the Songhai Empire was quite extraordinary. Although they could not serve as pharaohs, both the Church of the Dead Moon and the Church of the Blazing Sun had seen many female patriarchs, and there were also wise female officials holding important positions in the pharaoh's court.

This alone is much better than the dregs of the feudal kingdoms of the Old World.

I heard that women in the ancient country of Callum also have a very high status, especially the dragon girls. They will be entrusted with various important tasks by the Dragon Emperor and patrol various parts of the country. The marshal of the Northern Army currently stationed in Baishan City is a dragon girl.

The female marshal known as the 'Flame Dragon' is a relative of the Dragon Emperor, just like Prince Bai.

Chuchut also said that in their Aztec Kingdom, although women could not serve as officials, most of the priests in the tradition of Quetzalcoatl were women.

In comparison, you who appointed Miriam as the Scarlet Archon are also a rare "equal rights person" in the Old World, my little Murphy."

"Oh, then I really have to thank you for your high evaluation, my dear Tris. With your words, I don't have to worry about attracting the Otherworldly Fist."

Murphy grinned and then said:
“I am interested in that ancient poem not only because it describes a Songhai queen, but also because at the very beginning of the poem, it expresses in a very obscure way that the queen stepped into the sea of ​​sand, not just for simple exploration.

It is said that it was the Creator who gave her inspiration and courage.

However, the poem describes an era before the beginning of the Golden Age.
Tris, if the poem is true, it means that the first people the Creator came into contact with when he came into this world were the Songhai people."

"Well, this is probably just a way for the Songhai people to flatter themselves."

Tris shook her head and said:
"Now, the events of the Golden Age have become legends. Everything that happened in the ancient times before that cannot be verified unless we find more evidence. But since you have decided to restore the reputation of the Songhai people as the chosen ones of the Creator God, there is actually no need to talk about this."

"really."

Murphy nodded.

When he brought the two ladies to the outside of the palace where he was staying, he saw Hogg, who was guarded by Captain Popok and several werewolf players, standing on a cliff in the night, enjoying the breeze, obviously waiting for him.

"Go and rest, I'll be right there."

Murphy said something to Tris and Adele, then noticed that Tris made a silent gesture to him, which gave Murphy a physical pain in the balls.

Depend on!
I can't let Trish get drunk anymore. Why does this guy get so drunk?
"Ahem, my dear wise wolf, seeing your rosy face, I guess you got what you wanted at the banquet just now, right?"

Murphy walked up to Hogg and asked a question. When the wise wolf raised his head, his whole wretched face was full of smiles.

it says:

"Thanks to you, I was able to shamelessly get some money from the local tyrants of Songhai. Three long-term aid agreements have been signed, and they will be implemented after the Pharaoh's birthday banquet. This is a truly wonderful thing for the Werewolf Kingdom, which is currently trying to climb out of the quagmire.

But there is something I must report to you."

Hogg whispered:
"The Songhai people's assistance to us is not free. I thought they would ask us to send some Creation Guards to serve as mercenaries, but they didn't mention this at all. Instead, they asked us to find gold veins for them in the area controlled by the gnolls in the Dark Mountains.

This is a rather strange request, Commander Murphy. You know, the Songhai people have never been interested in things like burning gold that come from the warp.

Perhaps this represents a certain shift in the winds of change in their country?
I can't figure out the answer, so I come to you to seek wisdom."

"Because the Songhai do want to transform, Hog."

Murphy stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the Ptolemaic City dotted with thousands of lights at night. It must be said that now that the Songhai people have mastered solar energy, the night view of Ptolemaic City really has the feeling of a "prosperous age" in another world.

He explained to Hogg as he felt the cold desert wind at night:
“Thanks to the assistance of foreign friends in the field of deconstructing the Creator’s knowledge, the Songhai people have found a new direction to restart the Creator’s legacy. However, this time the Creator’s trial has indeed taught the Songhai people a lesson.

Although the Pharaoh tried his best to conceal the impact of this sudden incident on the empire, we have heard about the spread of anxiety and doubt among the civilians in Port of Origin and Ptolemy City.

In the previous thousand years, the energy of the Songhai Empire relied on the energy core left by the Creator, but after this warning, the Songhai people also realized that the Creator's gift was not omnipotent.

As far as I know, in addition to further expanding the solar energy technology they have mastered, their mechanics are also planning to obtain new energy through the research of burning gold. It is obvious that they intend to humble themselves and learn from the halflings about the development of this field.

indeed.

Burning gold comes from the warp, but it is now part of the world system. Now that the Plantagenet Kingdom and the Yankees have begun to look for burning gold mines, the Songhai people cannot pretend not to see its value. "

"I see. This kind of preparedness is indeed something that the gnolls should learn."

Hogg nodded thoughtfully, then rubbed his paws a little embarrassedly and said:
"Then, Master Murphy, can we, the jackals, get some credit? You see, we are also part of the Creator's faction. In this grand event of restarting the Creator's legacy, we can't just be spectators."

"You ask me, I can't help it, Hogg."

Murphy complained:
"You don't think that without the help of our foreign friends, we in Transia are capable of discovering the Creator's legacy on our own? I only have a cooperative relationship with the other world."

"That is to say, I noticed that there is a big boss in the Explorers Guild who came in the form of a jackal. His name is 'People of the Motherland, Please Rest Assured'. I am willing to provide funds and personnel to assist his research."

Hogg whispered:
"I just hope you can help me."

"You figure it out yourself." Murphy spread his hands and said:

"That gentleman's research direction is biology, and the exaggerated biodiversity of the Dark Mountains has attracted him. It shouldn't be a problem to start from this point. In addition, my development team is in need of cattle and horses to work recently, so this is for you."

Murphy threw a specially made computing orb with permissions unlocked that could connect to forums and third-party apps to Hogg. This thing was a prototype of the enhanced fourth-generation orb newly produced by Minx and Old Flywheel, and it had very powerful functions.

"You are also familiar with how to deal with players, so register an account yourself, and then look for Professor Malcolm on the forum. He will assign you a job. The Werewolf Kingdom has just been established, and we must learn to draw lessons and experience from history.

If you don’t have a solid history, then it’s just as good to learn from other people’s history.”

Murphy reminded:
"I also need you to adapt to the operation mode of the network system of the other world as soon as possible, because the 'World Network' led by Ms. Rose must follow that model to weave and expand, and the Werewolf Kingdom will eventually become a part of this ring world network.

But I remind you not to get too caught up in those lousy jokes on the Internet about the other world."

"I am determined, Master Murphy, so don't worry."

Hogg patted his chest and replied, obviously very confident in his own iron will. However, Murphy, who knew the power of brainwashing jokes, expressed regret.

He said goodbye to Hogg and slowly returned to his residence. As soon as he opened the door, he was knocked down by a goblin in the dark.

Alright alright.

Since you can't resist, just enjoy it.

Murphy, who was lying on the ground, sighed and cursed in his heart this damn life that turned him into such a miserable person. Then he grabbed the wet long hair of the fairy in front of him, bit her swan-like neck, and threw her on the sofa in front of him.

Hey!
A change of attack! ——
The next three days were very busy on Palace Mountain. In addition to inviting foreign guests, the Pharaoh's birthday banquet also included the oasis pharaohs in the empire, especially the heads of the thirty-three pilgrim families, who were the highlight.

Every day a new pharaoh entered the Ptolemaic City, and every day all kinds of luxurious items were delivered to the palace mountain. All the servants of the entire Sand Sea Royal Court were mobilized to decorate the entire mountain, and even the citizens of Ptolemy City spontaneously helped in some corners.

This shows that Thutmund II was still very respected by the people in the country.

This kind of respect has its tradition. After all, every pharaoh has a very good reputation among the people, except for the unlucky guy who was affected by the Mamluk rebellion more than 300 years ago. The most black humor is that the pharaoh in power at that time was Bombay I.

Does this name sound familiar to you?

right!

This is the Oasis family where the little mummy Nefertari came from.

The Bom family fell into decline after that rebellion. The pharaoh of their family stepped down in disgrace and became the one with the lowest reputation among the eleven pharaohs. He eventually died in depression in the Bom Oasis. At the worst time for his family, they almost lost their own oasis fiefdom.

Fortunately, Nefertari's magical grandmother was very good at dealing with people, and she managed to preserve the family heritage by relying on her close relationship with the kings of the underworld.

Now, as a direct disciple of Bayek, the High Priest of the Dead Moon, the little mummy shoulders the important task of revitalizing the family. Once she can take over as the High Priest of the Dead Moon, good days will come for the Bom family.

The little mummy arrived at the Ptolemaic city at noon on the third day.

She had completed her report to her mentor and the bigwigs of the Dead Moon Church. Judging from her joyful demeanor, the report went smoothly. However, what shocked the players the most was not the little mummy who had returned, but Afeng who had returned with the little mummy.

I don’t know how this guy changed his ID, changing the shameful “Pants-Stripping Demon” to “Traveler Feng”.

But this is not the point.

The point is, after this bastard Afeng went to the Holy City of the Moon and came back, he turned from a spirit into a full-fledged priest of the underworld.

According to that guy's smug description, High Priest Bayek even gave him a special method of growth so that he could reach the realm of the Hades Lich. Of course, the price was that Afeng would be tied to the Church of the Dead Moon for almost the rest of his life.

But that's not a bad thing.

After all, the Dead Moon Church is an extremely powerful golden thigh, and there is no way for others to kneel down.

"Hurry up! Get moving, you lazy guys!"

In front of Murphy's temporary bedroom, the players who had been having fun in Ptolemy Royal City for three days have been gathered by Master Qin. They will change into formal clothes for birthday celebrations, which will be designed by Madam Shui and produced by Brother Gao Mao's garment factory in Transia.

Loosely modeled after the duty uniforms of the Creation Guard Jackals.

The black base is embellished with golden and red armbands, and the slim design coupled with a pair of shiny leather boots really makes it look like Sandezi. Because it is a dress, it is embellished with some medals and tassels, making players who are used to the mix-and-match style feel like they have grown up all of a sudden after putting it on.

Especially the students, who are now standing together and taking photos in their new clothes.

The girls also had new clothes of their own.

They had originally planned to ask Lady Shui to design skirts for them, but Lady Shui felt that they were all from the underworld, and although skirts looked pretty, they lacked the fierceness that Transian people should have, so she designed pants for them all.

The girls were complaining at first, but when they put them on, their figures were highlighted and they looked heroic, which satisfied their vanity.

The most exaggerated thing is that Lord Murphy did not wear the traditional complicated ceremonial costumes of vampires today, but wore this new-style dress like the players. This made the players like their down-to-earth boss Murphy even more.

"Master, Lord Ofug has also arrived."

Adele, who was also wearing a simple ceremonial dress, fell from the sky. Her shirt swayed up and down twice when it landed, making Murphy a little dizzy. Then he heard Adele whisper:

"Lord Paying asked you to bring the Transian envoys to meet him immediately. The birthday banquet will begin in the evening and we will follow the Palano Knights to enter and celebrate. According to the tradition of the Songhai people, the birthday banquet will last from the night representing the moon until the scorching sun at noon the next day.

It's going to be busy, so you should probably eat something first."

"It's okay, I can handle it. The ritual is meant to torture people."

Murphy shook his head and looked back at the players who were ready. He waved his hand and said to Mr. Qin beside him:
"Let my warriors take our gifts and head towards the main hall of Palace Hill. Then follow Lord Palano into the hall. You will do whatever he tells you to do."

"Yes, Master Murphy."

Master Qin nodded, and then looked back guiltily at the "gift" being carried up by the giant sharks and their tough guys. He complained in his heart:
"If I send this thing to them, I'm afraid I'll have to face the rumor that the Transians are all barbarians. Why would I send such an unlucky thing to someone's birthday party?"
