"But by working with me, you can get more benefits."
"You should be able to see my ships, right? I'll tell you, it took me less than a month to build them."
Of course, the time Lin Ke took to build the ship was much shorter than what he said.
However, this might be too outrageous for the Persian emperor, and it might make him question the authenticity of Lin Ke's words. Therefore, Lin Ke chose a time that the other party would find exaggerated, but it seemed possible that it was true.
As expected, as soon as Lin Ke said this, Nadir Shah looked towards the place where the Holy Egyptian fleet was.
Lin Ke could even see that Nadir Shah's breathing suddenly accelerated in these few short seconds. Although the other party was trying to control this behavior, he still could not escape Lin Ke's eyes.
"Besides that, there are many other things in Holy Egypt."
"A lot to offer the Persian Empire."
"If one day the King of Kings can personally visit Holy Egypt, I will certainly prepare the highest welcome ceremony for you."
Nadir Shah looked at Lin Ke. There seemed to be no change in his eyes, only his breathing was still slightly rapid.
He didn't say anything, just looked at Lin Ke quietly.
At this moment, Lin Ke slowly took a step forward.
The sword of truth in his hand now glowed with a faint blue luster in the sunlight.
However, the faint blue light has now become much weaker and no longer as bright as before.
Then, Lin Ke held the sword horizontally in front of his chest in a ritualistic posture, with the tip of the sword slightly drooping.
Anyone can see at a glance that this is a traditional gesture of the highest respect.
Of course, the reason why Lin Ke did this was to ensure that the king of kings of the Persian Empire, the emperor who was watched by millions of Persians, would not lose face in such an occasion.
"King of kings."
"This sword of truth should now be returned to its original owner."
As soon as Lin Ke finished speaking, the entire Persian camp exploded.
Originally, Lin Ke's act of handing over the Sword of Truth had already surprised the Persian people.
Now, these sudden words made it even harder for them to believe.
It was like a meteorite crashing into a calm lake, causing ripples that eventually turned into huge waves sweeping everywhere.
"What?!"
"He's going to return the Sword of Truth to us?"
"How is this possible? He just used this sword to summon the great Ahura Mazda!"
"Sword of Truth! Is the Sword of Truth about to return to my Persian Empire?"
The Persian soldiers were talking among themselves, and everyone's expressions were surprisingly similar at this moment.
Many of them had just witnessed Ahura Mazda, the supreme deity of their faith, appear and disappear at the behest of a foreigner.
This shock was already great enough, and now this foreigner actually announced that he would return the sword that controlled this god to them?
So, an old Persian general with white hair and beard almost rubbed his eyes, fearing that he had seen it wrong.
"Sword of Truth? Is that the artifact that just summoned the Supreme God? Has that Holy Pharaoh gone mad?"
"Ah! If the Sword of Truth can return to our Persian Empire, then the light of the God of the Good Realm will be able to cover the Persian Empire again!"
"This is a great thing!"
Another burly Persian general just frowned and shook his head. He was staring at Lin Ke's arms, as if he wanted to see something from them.
"Beware of deception! This could be some trick of the Holy Pharaoh, who is well versed in trickery."
"He came here alone, originally with a plan."
"Otherwise, how could you dare to penetrate deep into the heart of our Persian Empire's army?"
Of course, there are very few people who express doubts.
In the crowd, many soldiers of the Persian Empire were almost in tears with excitement.
"Ah! Our great supreme god Ahura Mazda!"
"Our long-lost holy relic will finally return to our Persian Empire!"
"This is God's will and a reward for our loyalty!"
But at the same time, many Persian generals remained highly vigilant.
Because they simply could not understand why a ruler with such great power would easily give up such an important artifact.
You know, that is a weapon that can summon the Supreme God, and the Supreme God will only be loyal to the person who holds the sword.
With this weapon, it is no less than having an army of 100,000.
With this weapon, even if there is only one person, he can easily capture cities and easily destroy the army of a small kingdom.
How could the Holy Pharaoh easily give up such a powerful weapon?
"There must be some trick here! How could this Holy Pharaoh possibly hand over the Sword of Truth?"
"Just think about it, this is impossible!"
At this time, a Persian general dressed in luxurious armor asserted that he had a very deep frown on his face when he said this.
"Perhaps that Holy Pharaoh is trying to lure us into lowering our guard before launching a surprise attack!"
"Maybe he's going to call on the gods again, or use his fleet?"
"Will our King of Kings be in danger if he is so close to him?"
"Besides, who can guarantee that this sword hasn't been tampered with? Maybe the sword that the Holy Pharaoh gave to the King of Kings was a fake?"
At this time, rumors began to spread among the army. Some said that this might be some kind of complex deception trick, while others said that the Sword of Truth had actually been replaced with a replica.
"Hush! Quiet!"
"The King of Kings and the Holy Pharaoh are talking, stop talking nonsense!"
Several senior generals quickly rebuked them, and they regained control of the situation.
"Don't discuss this matter recklessly! This matter involves the supreme god of our Persian Empire. Do not offend!"
"If the Sword of Truth can truly return to our Persian Empire, it will only bring benefits and no harm to our Persian Empire!"
"If the Holy Pharaoh regrets his words because of you, I will have your heads chopped off!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another murmur of shock and confusion.
A young Persian officer just lowered his voice.
"Sir, how could the Holy Pharaoh give us the Sword of Truth so easily?"
"This is tantamount to giving up command of the entire army! How could he possibly do that?"
"That's simply impossible, my lord!"
Of course, the ones who were shocked were only the generals and soldiers of the Persian Empire, and Nadir Shah in front of Lin Ke.
"Holy Pharaoh?"
"Return the property to its original owner?"
Nadir Shah hesitated for a moment, then he slowly stretched out his hand.
