However, just as Nan Tong was about to refute, she was stopped by Lin Ke's slight look.
Unlike Nan Tong who showed anger, Lin Ke continued to maintain his gentle and calm appearance.
“It’s definitely different from where we are back home.”
“But this difference is also unique and eye-opening.”
"Isn't that right, everyone?"
Ramses didn't say anything, and the succubus looked indifferent, but nodded.
The captain of the guards and Khufu nodded mechanically in agreement, and the anger in Nan Tong's eyes completely disappeared with Lin Ke's words.
Nan Tong had followed Lin Ke for a long time, and he knew very well that the Holy Pharaoh must have already made up his mind, so he just cooperated with Lin Ke and finally nodded.
The old man looked at the people from Holy Egypt, nodded with satisfaction, and then led everyone into the inner courtyard.
The interior layout revolves around a small atrium, with several bedrooms and reception rooms distributed around it.
Although the decoration is exquisite, in Lin Ke's opinion, it is just the level of the nobles here.
The nobles in Holy Egypt are probably much better than here.
“There are six bedrooms in total, all furnished with the finest linens.”
Nan Tong then noticed a ceramic chamber pot on the ground, which was shaped a bit like a deep bowl with a handle.
Next to it were two slaves and a sponge stick soaked in slightly sour water.
"This is?"
As the old man listened to Nan Tong's question, the corners of his mouth curled up even more.
"Dear guest, this is a prop you can use elegantly and comfortably."
"Once this is resolved, your slave will let you handle all the rest of the work."
"We will clean it with running water and then put it back in to soak. You can use it without worry."
“Absolutely clean and safe.”
After these words were spoken, the people from Holy Egypt were stunned.
Even Lin Ke fell silent as he looked at the sponge stick.
That dirty thing is actually used to wipe when going to the toilet?
Moreover, there are only three sponge sticks in the entire courtyard, which means that except for Lin Ke, the leader of the kingdom, other people will actually share sponge sticks.
Except for the succubus who showed excitement when looking at Lin Ke's special sponge stick, the others just looked at each other woodenly.
As for the old man, he glanced at a few people with a smile, as if he was mocking the country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
He even continued to introduce it as if what happened just now was completely normal and unimportant.
“There are also two dining rooms here, one for daily dining and one for entertaining guests.”
The old man introduced himself incessantly, with a hint of pride on his face.
“Of course, there are all kinds of kitchen utensils, tableware, and toiletries. They are the best items you can find on the island.”
When showing Lin Ke around the other bedrooms, the old man specifically mentioned, "These beds are custom-made, half a foot smaller than the standard size."
"We heard that Oriental people have different body shapes than Greeks, so we made special adjustments."
These words may seem thoughtful, but they actually expose their stereotypes and condescending attitude towards Holy Egypt.
Nan Tong had no expression on his face. He just looked at the Holy Pharaoh without saying anything.
"That's a great arrangement, thank you."
Lin Ke remained polite.
"By the way, when does the World Conference officially begin?"
"We can also make some preparations in advance."
Hearing "make some preparations in advance", the old man frowned slightly and quickly, as if he couldn't understand it.
Lin Ke also immediately understood that the new civilization that had just joined the World Conference would probably face huge difficulties that he could not imagine.
Obviously, Saint Egypt will most likely face a situation where he cannot speak.
Then let alone making a proposal, even opening your mouth would be difficult.
However, since the meeting will not start until the day after tomorrow, Lin Ke still has time to verify and prepare.
"Dear guests, the World Conference will begin early the morning of the day after tomorrow."
"Tomorrow is free time for distinguished guests. You can use this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the island's environment or have informal exchanges with other representatives."
He paused and added, "Dear guest, if you are dissatisfied with anything, please let us know and we will do our best to adjust it."
"Of course, given our limited resources, we may not be able to meet all your requests, but we will do our best to satisfy you."
"Is there anything else you need my help with?"
Lin Ke nodded to show his understanding, and the old man said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, he even emphasized again that this was the best residence they had prepared "with all their efforts."
As soon as the Greek officials left, Nan Tong could no longer contain himself.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, this arrangement of theirs is truly absurd."
"Every place here hints at the position of our Holy Egypt in their minds."
Ramses also spoke, a rare occurrence.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, I have seen where the lowest-ranking leader of civilization resides."
"The place they are in is even more rudimentary than this place."
“While it is clean and tidy, the size of the facility has been significantly reduced.”
"And we, even though we were temporarily upgraded, only deserve this barely decent treatment."
"This is truly unbecoming of your noble status."
"How can your noble and holy body stay in such a place?"
"How about this? I will take you back to your ship and you can rest in your room."
"It's a hundred times better there than here."
Nan Tong also nodded heavily, he agreed very much with what Ramses said.
"That's right, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"I suggest we protest immediately. This discriminatory treatment is a blatant insult to Holy Egypt!"
"It's even more of an insult to you!"
"It seems that these guys will definitely speak rudely to you again at the World Conference!"
"Why don't you lead us back to Holy Egypt first? Once Holy Egypt becomes stronger, there will always be a day when they will beg us to return to the World Conference!"
Lin Ke listened to these words and just smiled and waved his hand.
"Protesting won't solve the problem. Let's first understand the actual situation."
"Let's go out and take a look before it gets completely dark."
The group left the courtyard and walked along the cobblestone road towards the center of the island.
Along the way they saw the dwellings assigned to the different civilizations.
The closer to the center the buildings are, the more luxurious and magnificent they are, especially the residence of the Persian delegation, which is like a small palace. There are more than a dozen Greek soldiers on duty in front of the door, and there are fountains and statues in the yard.
Moreover, as soon as the soldiers saw Lin Ke and his group approaching, they began to stare at them, as if they were ready to drive them away at any time.
"Huh! How ironic."
"The Persians' previous disdain for Greece is well known, yet in the eyes of the Greeks, they are more noble than us?"
Nan Tong looked at the scene and shook his head a few times.
