[Four sailboats] move slowly.
Nan Tong stood on the deck of the [Four-Section Sailboat], swallowing carefully from time to time.
That's because he found that standing on this [four-section sailboat] was as stable as standing on land.
"Your Majesty, this ship is truly flat, completely different from the small boat I've been on before."
"I couldn't even feel the slightest shake."
Aisha listened to Nan Tong's words and chuckled a few times.
"Lord Nantong, you are the Great Sun Magician of Holy Egypt, a person who can control magic and fly in the sky."
"Why is riding a boat so exciting and joyful nowadays?"
Nan Tong listened to Aisha's words and just shook his head.
"Even so, magic and boat riding are two different things."
"I just think it's incredible that we in Holy Egypt can have such ships now."
Ramses stepped forward and said, "Nantong has served as a guard for two pharaohs. He is the only one who understands the changes in Egypt and Holy Egypt best."
Nan Tong nodded slightly, and then his gaze turned to the location of the escort ships.
At this moment, the crew began to get busy. They were now leaving the canal and officially entering the Nile.
As the boat slowly sailed into the Nile, the succubus made a joyful sound.
"It's the Nile River! It feels so good to be with the Holy Pharaoh and be blown by the wind~"
Lin Ke stood beside the helmsman, listening to everyone's conversation with a smile.
The ship they were on had a spacious and bright cabin, with all kinds of exquisite hieroglyphs and murals.
On the deck, there are comfortable cushions and drinks for passengers to rest.
In this era, the ship that Lin Ke was riding on could definitely be called "luxurious".
Therefore, their first voyage was spent in laughter and joy.
Nan Tong gradually adapted to the ship and began to develop a keen interest in various nautical terms.
Elsa lay on the side of the boat all day, occasionally waving and shouting to the women who appeared on the shore.
The succubus found a cool corner, drank some juice, and made up all kinds of stories about demons and goblins to tell Lin Ke.
Ramses watched quietly the whole time, occasionally commenting on the changes taking place on the Nile River.
"I can't imagine that Holy Egypt will one day possess such a magnificent fleet."
"And this is just part of our Holy Egyptian Navy."
As Nan Tong was speaking, Aisha joined in.
"Speaking of this, Lord Nantong, do you know that the Nile River used to be full of dangers. There were not only crocodiles and hippos, but also pirates!"
"My father used to do quite a bit of trade, but the river near Aswan was often robbed of caravans, specifically targeting small boats."
"However, the Holy Egypt of today is no longer what it used to be. Those guys probably wouldn't dare to act so recklessly on the banks of the Nile anymore."
Nan Tong nodded, and the two began to talk about the past of Holy Egypt.
In the afternoon, the captain invited Lin Ke and Ramses to visit the cockpit.
There, Linke saw a detailed map marking important locations along the Nile River.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, Philae Island is located here."
"It's just that the water is fast there, so we need to be extra careful."
"I will do my best to ensure the safety of this voyage, but the water conditions there vary from day to day."
Upon hearing this, Ramses also nodded.
"I know that place, the water is really strong."
"If necessary, I will use my divine power to ensure the safety of the voyage."
Upon hearing this, the captain simply knelt on one knee.
"Yes, then I'll trouble you, the respected...God of the Desert and the Nile."
After a few hours, the weather became hotter.
Elsa took off her outer robe and sunbathed on the deck in only her light underwear.
"It's even more comfortable than I expected, except for being a little bit sunburned."
Nan Tong kindly reminded: "Don't get sunburned, after all, we will be staying here for several days."
Aisha grinned, "Don't worry, Master Sun Magician, this heat is nothing compared to Aswang."
In the evening, the crew began to prepare dinner.
The aroma of fresh fish and food stored on board filled the air.
As night falls, the starry sky is inlaid in the sky like gems.
Nan Tong, who had never spent a night on the river, was shocked by the scene.
"Gods above, this is the most beautiful starry sky I have ever seen!"
Lin Ke began to explain.
"This is because we are on the water and the wind and sand in the desert interfere with the stars, so they are naturally brighter."
But at noon the next day, the weather suddenly changed and became overcast.
The captain nervously told everyone that there might be a storm.
But Lin Ke knew very well that the weather would not have any impact on his [four-section sailboat].
"Don't worry, everyone. Our ships are very strong."
"Just stay in the cabin."
Elsa was holding onto the railing, looking nervous.
"But the storm on the Nile is terrible! Holy Pharaoh!"
“When the Nile River floods, it’s like the gods are angry!”
Upon hearing this, Ramses also nodded.
"Indeed, I have seen a storm on the Nile flood an entire temple."
When Aisha heard this, she became even more nervous.
"Ahhh! Are we doomed then?"
At this time, Nan Tong spoke to Aisha with a smile.
"Don't slap me, the storm isn't a flood. Besides, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has already told us that our ship is safe."
Sure enough, despite the strong wind and waves, the ship was not affected at all.
With the crew's skillful operation, they successfully passed through the storm.
Not long after, the captain told Lin Ke that they were about to arrive at their destination.
Everyone immediately rushed onto the deck and looked into the distance.
A lush oasis can be vaguely seen, standing on the surface of the Nile River.
"Is that Philae Island? It's much bigger than I thought."
Nan Tong said while looking into the distance, and Aisha also added.
"On the island are the remains of an ancient temple dedicated to the goddess Isis."
Lin Ke was also looking at the island at this time, which was a little different from what Lin Ke had imagined.
This is a large granite island with a number of smaller islands of varying sizes scattered around it.
Lin Ke first glanced at Elsa, and then turned his gaze to Ramses.
In his opinion, this god with super-strong perception should have discovered something.
As expected.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, I don't know why, but I always feel that there is a special aura there."
"This is unlike any Supreme God before."
"What should I do now, my brother?"
Lin Ke narrowed his eyes slightly at this time.
"To the temple."
