"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, I..."
"To be honest, I came here to ask for a favor."
The Mayan Lord Bigdik's voice was a little hesitant, and there was even some hesitation on his face.
"Please tell me what you have to say, Lord Bigdik of Maya."
"No matter what, you are also a member of the Holy Egyptian Alliance and an ally of Holy Egypt."
"If there's anything I can do to help, just ask."
Lin Ke knew very well that the other party must have encountered something that he could not handle, so he had to come here in person.
No matter what, the Mayan Lord Bigdik is the lord of Maya.
If his purpose today was to ask for help from Saint Egypt, then Lin Ke would like to know what exactly had happened that made the Mayan Lord Bigdik come to visit him.
Mayan Lord Bigdik took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face again, but it was uglier than crying.
"But it's okay."
Lin Ke looked at the other person and added another sentence.
Mayan Lord Bigdik licked his lips and finally mustered up the courage.
"That's right, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"A few days ago, you generously provided valuable food to help our people who were affected by the floods. We are very grateful for that."
"But......"
At this moment, his voice became lower and lower, as if he was afraid of being heard.
"The food we previously had has been completely consumed. While it's great that you helped us build [farmland], its production capacity hasn't reached our expectations and can only sustain the basic survival of half the population."
"Now that grain reserves are running low and newly planted crops have just been buried, I'm afraid..."
Having said that, the Mayan lord Bigdik lowered his head deeply. Obviously, this request made him feel very embarrassed.
"I implore His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh to lend a hand once again and help us through this difficult time."
However, after hearing what the other party said, Lin Ke did not show any surprise or dissatisfaction.
He stared at the Mayan Lord Bigdik quietly for a moment, then gave a gentle smile.
"Maya and Holy Egypt have friendly relations. If our ally is in trouble, how can we, Holy Egypt, not help?"
In Lin Ke's opinion, this request cannot even be called a "thing".
After all, Holy Egypt's current food reserves are terrifying. Not only can it be self-sufficient, but most of it is even exported to other civilizations and kingdoms.
"So, how much food do you need?"
The Mayan lord Bigdik couldn't believe his ears.
After all, the other party seemed to only have a few seconds to think.
In other words, the other party agreed without even thinking about it.
"Is His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh truly willing to provide assistance again?"
Lin Ke just smiled gently.
"Of course."
"We have experienced famine and understand the importance of food."
"We can still help with this little favor."
"Could you please tell me how much exactly you need?"
The Mayan lord Bigdik finally felt relieved. He straightened his back and his voice became more confident.
"If possible, I would like to buy ten tons of food."
"Of course! This is just a rough estimate. If you think..."
At this time, Lin Ke raised his eyebrows slightly: "Ten tons?"
When the Mayan Lord Bigdik heard Lin Ke's words, he thought that Lin Ke thought the amount was too large.
Then, he sighed: "Ah! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"The food you gave us earlier has indeed greatly alleviated our famine!"
"However, some territorial leaders withheld a considerable amount of it and used it to store for future profit."
"In addition, several tribal conflicts have recently broken out within Maya, destroying many farmlands and naturally reducing production..."
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In the final analysis, it is our poor management that has failed His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh's kindness."
"Now that my people are suffering, I, as a lord, cannot sleep or eat."
"Of course! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! I have already dealt with all the internal affairs! Those leaders have also been punished!"
"But now, I really have no other choice!"
Lin Ke listened to this and just thought about it for a moment.
He knew that agricultural production efficiency in the Mayan region had always been low, and coupled with frequent conflicts between tribes, governance was indeed difficult.
"No problem."
Lin Ke waved his hand: "Ten tons of food, right?"
Mayan Lord Bigdik was stunned. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly. "Really? Your Majesty?"
"Are you really willing to sell me so much food?"
Lin Ke just smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Saint Egypt is never stingy when it comes to requests for help from allies."
The Mayan lord Bigdik quickly stood up and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is so kindhearted. On behalf of all the people of Maya, I thank you for your generosity!"
Lin Ke stood up: "No need to be so polite."
Then, he turned to the guard standing behind him, and asked the guard to go and report the news.
The soldier immediately knelt on one knee: "Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly, his movements quick and decisive.
When the Mayan Lord Bigdik saw this scene, his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly.
Because the opponent's movements were too fast.
He had just made the request, but the Holy Pharaoh's guards immediately went to handle the matter.
Mayan Lord Bigdik looked at Lin Ke in disbelief: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! I thought it would take at least a few weeks of preparation..."
