"Tch, Your Majesty, let's leave here. Don't let these filthy images taint your holy eyes."
The succubus chimed in with a disdainful voice, while Nan Tong shook her head vigorously a few more times.
"yes."
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh entered the battlefield of the two sides with his noble and holy body."
“Strictly speaking, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh was the key to stopping the Persian invasion of Greece.”
The succubus tilted her head slightly, as if she had suddenly remembered something.
"Greece...aren't the Spartans also Greek?"
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh even saved the King of Sparta!"
"The Persians had long planned to conquer the Greek world, and had even prepared an army of tens of millions!"
"He even wanted Leonidas to become his subordinate and rule the Greek world! He even wanted all the Greeks to submit to him!"
"Even if Athens and Sparta have a grudge, the blame should be placed on the Spartans!"
The succubus and Nantong stared at the Persian's luxurious mansion, only exhaling hot breath from their nostrils.
"Now that the meeting can proceed normally, these Greeks should be grateful to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"But they actually let these guys who were going to cut off their heads live in a place like that?"
"Yet they only gave our Holy Pharaoh such a residence?"
At this point, the succubus turned around and looked at the "dwelling" they had just left.
A faint purplish-red light began to emanate from her body, and many of the Persian soldiers in the distance began to widen their eyes in disbelief.
Several people carrying staffs rushed out from the gate, then spoke a few words to the soldiers with slightly lowered heads before warily watching the direction where Lin Ke and his group were.
"Okay, calm down."
Lin Ke then placed his palm on the succubus's head, and in an instant, the purplish-red energy around the succubus disappeared.
Her tail suddenly stood upright, then fell limply to the ground.
When she turned around, her cheeks were flushed.
"Your Majesty the Holy... Holy Pharaoh..."
"This humble servant..."
Seeing that the succubus had calmed down, Lin Ke slowly lifted the hand that had been gently placed on his head.
"That's normal."
"The Persian Empire had a vast territory and a powerful military, controlling important shipping lanes in the eastern Mediterranean."
"From a practical point of view, the Greeks would naturally choose to please them."
As Lin Ke spoke, she led everyone in the opposite direction.
He knew very well that if the situation continued to worsen, Nader Shah, and other leaders of similar "prestigious" status, would find out.
That would be very embarrassing. Of course, Lin Ke didn't care about that. But it wasn't just about him; it was also about the meaning that "Saint Egypt" represented.
“But Your Majesty, the Greeks are not weak either.”
"The fact that the people of the Persian Empire could fight the Greeks to a standstill for so many years is enough to prove this point."
“Even though the Persians hate the Greeks so much, and the Greeks hate the Persians so much, these guys still get to enjoy such generous treatment!”
"The thoughts and actions of the Greeks are truly perplexing!"
Lin Ke listened to Nan Tong's words and only narrowed her eyes slightly.
Indeed, from this perspective, the Persians should not have been able to enjoy such good Greek accommodations.
So Lin Ke stopped and glanced at the area where the Persians were.
There are several similar houses in that area.
Lin Ke then turned around and looked at Saint Egypt's residence.
He immediately realized that even if the World Conference were held on Delos, the Greeks would not have much say in the decision-making process.
This was probably decided by some "organization," which is why the Persians were able to use such luxurious residences.
As for the sudden adjustment of Saint Egypt's accommodations, it was probably because the news was sent after Saint Egypt's large ship docked, which is why Saint Egypt's welcoming party and accommodations were improved.
Therefore, Lin Ke's previous speculations about "Pericles" were all overturned.
Clearly, none of this was done by "Pericles".
"Greece may just be one of the organizers of the World Conference."
"Even though Delos was Greek territory, they seemed to be bound by some rules, which is why they did these things that we can hardly understand."
"Come on, let's go take a look over there."
Knowing this, he simply continued leading the group behind him, preparing to go and see other places.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, they arrived at a high point on the island from which they could overlook the entire residential area below.
"You see, the distribution of these courtyards follows a pattern."
"The further out you go, the lower the standard."
"Our current residence is not on the outermost edge, but it is already close to the edge."
As Lin Ke spoke, she turned her gaze to the distance.
At the very edge, there was an empty dwelling without a flag.
Lin Ke simply narrowed her eyes.
As expected, it was just as he had predicted.
His accommodation was a temporary one.
"Just as I expected."
Lin Ke simply muttered a sentence softly.
They observed from a high vantage point for a while and found that the closer to the central area, the larger the residential areas were, but the fewer the number of dwellings there were.
In the very center was a well-organized and spacious house, which looked like a newly built one.
It is smaller than the surrounding buildings, but it is quite exquisite from a distance.
Lin Ke originally planned to take a few people there to find out what was going on, but it seemed that only a few powerful civilizations at the center of power were qualified to set foot there.
Otherwise, one would definitely have to pass through an area where they would be questioned and stopped by the guards.
Therefore, Lin Ke had to abandon the idea again.
After returning to their temporary residence, Lin Ke gathered everyone in the courtyard to sit down.
Just to be on the safe side, he had Ramses and Nantong check and explore the area, and then Lin Ke observed it in the civilization panel.
It seemed that all units that set foot on this island would become "neutral," so Lin Ke couldn't see any new messages appear in the civilization panel.
His residence also lacked any unit that could be identified by the civilization panel.
At least for now, it's safe, and no one is planning to eavesdrop on their conversation.
“Your Majesty, this old minister has not found anything unusual.”
“Your Majesty, I have not found anything unusual.”
Lin Ke nodded, then invited his confidants to sit together.
"Very good, then we can speak freely here."
"However, you must be vigilant at all times. If you notice anyone approaching, inform me immediately."
The group nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
