Looking at the scenes around him, Lin Ke narrowed his eyes.
It seems that the lack of attention paid to our Holy Egypt is not accidental, but is intentional.
Is it him?
The first person Lin Ke thought of was Pericles.
He knew very well that although the Greek world now had two representatives, it was Pericles who actually had the greater say in the Greek world.
The island of Delos was under the jurisdiction of the alliance in which Athens was a member, so Pericles must have known something about these matters of entertaining leaders from various countries.
But when Lin Ke thought of this, he just frowned slightly again.
In the world he lives in, historical time and events are extremely chaotic.
Take the Battle of Thermopylae for example. It was Xerxes who led the Persian army to fight against the Spartans there.
This should be the case according to the historical official history that Lin Ke is familiar with, but the King of Kings who led the Persian Empire there was Nadir Shah.
Lin Ke then changed his mind and thought, if there was an error in the event, would the characters be different as well?
That is, those famous leaders, such as Pericles.
In Lin Ke's understanding, Pericles is a wise leader. However, if Pericles had seen the fleet of Holy Egypt at sea, would he still give Holy Egypt such poor treatment?
Strictly speaking, the Holy Egyptians were people who helped the Greek world.
They should at least be able to get some better treatment, but everything at the moment shows that Holy Egypt is only slightly valued, which is still slightly different from the ordinary treatment that Holy Egypt should receive.
So, Lin Ke was a little confused when he thought about this.
Because it represents many possibilities.
The first possibility is that in this world, Pericles is not a person who can be called wise, because this would obviously embarrass Saint Egypt. In Lin Ke's opinion, if Pericles did this on purpose, then his vision is probably too narrow.
However, on the bright side, Athens had nothing to fear from having such a foolish leader.
The second possibility is that Pericles was not aware of it, or that the World Conference was actually organized by someone else. Although Pericles knew about this, he did not have the power to make arrangements and transfers.
In Lin Ke's opinion, this is very likely. After all, in order to avoid excessive concentration of power, the Greeks often use similar means and measures.
As for the last possibility, it is what Lin Ke is most worried about.
That is, Pericles deliberately made Lin Ke think that he was a stupid leader so that Lin Ke would let down his guard.
This possibility is not small, because Lin Ke had previously prevented the fighting between Persia and Greece, and Pericles did not choose to meet with Lin Ke at that time.
If Pericles was as intelligent as Lin Ke thought, he would know that Holy Egypt is no longer what it used to be, and that the neglect of Holy Egypt here was intentional by Pericles, with the purpose of making Lin Ke think that Pericles was a stupid leader.
Once such a preconceived idea is formed, it will affect many of Lin Ke's subsequent decisions.
As a result, Lin Ke's frown deepened. Obviously, he had no way to find evidence to verify these ideas, but if Pericles was secretly preparing some plan, he had to be careful.
"Your Majesty, the Greeks are quite impressed by the difference between our welcoming ceremony and that of other civilizations."
Nan Tong noticed Lin Ke's expression. Obviously, in his opinion, the frown on the Saint Pharaoh's face was closely related to the team that was welcoming them.
In Nan Tong's eyes, all he saw were the various scenes on the dock, so his anger could not be concealed in his tone.
Of course, what Nan Tong said was true. What they saw before them was a welcome scene with strict hierarchy, which highlighted the status differences between different civilizations.
"Our team is the same as those civilizations that came with medium-sized ships, and only slightly better than those that came with small ships."
Nan Tong also noticed that the delegations that arrived from the small islands around the Aegean Sea in small boats less than 30 feet long did not even have the most basic welcoming ceremony and had to find accommodation on their own.
The slightly better ones have one or two people leading them.
The reception Holy Egypt received was only slightly more respectable than that of these lowest-ranking delegations.
"We should be treated the same as the Persians."
"Holy Egypt, after all, is a great country with thousands of years of history and a glorious civilization!"
"Now, I have been placed in such a humble position at the World Conference. This is not only a disrespect to the great Holy Pharaoh, but also a blasphemy to the entire Holy Egyptian civilization!"
When Nan Tong said this, gas suddenly came out of his nostrils.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, do not worry. In my opinion, if you put forward your proposal in the meeting, it will surely amaze everyone!"
Nan Tong now shifted his gaze to Lin Ke's slightly frowned brow.
"Not only the Greeks, but also other people will look at you with admiration!"
"They will pay the price for looking down on our great civilization!"
Nan Tong said this while observing Lin Ke's reaction.
Of course, after years of getting along, Nan Tong already knew that whenever his Holy Pharaoh was deep in thought, he would have such an expression.
So at this moment he thought that the expression of the Holy Pharaoh was obviously directly related to the shabby scene of the welcoming team.
After hearing Nan Tong's words, Lin Ke raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Then, he looked at Nan Tong, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then cast his gaze further away.
"Persian generation?"
It was definitely not a coincidence that Nan Tong suddenly mentioned Persia.
Because none of them knew what the Persian welcoming ceremony was like, unless Nan Tong saw the Persian welcoming team and welcoming ceremony.
So, Lin Ke's sight passed through the bustling crowd, across layers of ships, and finally stopped on a specific target.
As expected.
He saw the King of Kings of the Persian Empire, Nadir Shah.
This monarch, famous for his military conquests, continued to display his arrogance and authority.
Currently, he was sitting on a giant mobile throne being carried by dozens of strong men.
He sat proudly on high, still superior to those lowly slaves.
And in front of Nadir Shah, there was an impressive welcoming team.
There was a band of nearly a hundred people, playing a welcome song.
The elite guards of Delos Island were guarding on both sides, and there were also some people wearing strangely colored clothes. Lin Ke didn't know what role those people played in the welcoming team.
But the whole scene was extremely luxurious and magnificent.
