"Who are you?"
Nan Tong softened her tone, her face showing helplessness.
The other party didn't seem to have come with a specific purpose.
Nan Tong even felt that the other party could not even be considered a spy, because he had never seen such a emaciated spy.
What's more, the other party is just a child.
Seeing that the other party did not speak, Nan Tong continued to ask questions.
Why did you crawl in through the crack in the wall?
"what are you up to?"
The girl didn't answer, but just stared at him warily, like a frightened animal ready to run away at any moment.
Her body trembled slightly, whether from the cold or nervousness, it was hard to tell.
Of course, although Nan Tong believed that the other party did not pose any threat, he did not completely lower his guard.
"You should know where this place is, right?"
"You couldn't have gotten lost and ended up here. Why did you come here in the first place?"
However, Nan Tong still has not received a response.
The girl just stared at Nan Tong, her eyes filled with fear.
Nan Tong then noticed that her gaze kept turning to the back of her, which was in the center of the courtyard.
The other person's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, clearly indicating that they had been starving for a long time.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Nan Tong simply sighed softly.
"I see, you're hungry, aren't you?"
The girl then shook her head violently a few times, but Nan Tong clearly saw her swallow.
This is clearly inconsistent with her actions.
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
"However, I must first take you to meet a very important person."
"You can only get what you want if you get his permission."
Nan Tong cast a simple detection spell to confirm that the girl posed no hidden threat and would not suddenly unleash any strange magic on His Majesty the Pharaoh.
He looked at the girl's tattered clothes but didn't find anything dangerous hidden inside.
If it had existed, Nan Tong would have seen it long ago.
So Nan Tong took a few steps closer and extended her hand: "Come on, I'll take you to see that important person."
“He is very kind, but you must respond to his words.”
"Do you understand?"
The girl hesitated for a long time before finally grabbing Nan Tong's hand with some hesitation.
When she stood up, she almost fell over due to her weakness.
Nan Tong helped her up, looking at the girl's thin, bony body, and then frowned slightly.
Clearly, that reminded him of the more distant past of Holy Egypt, a time when food was scarce.
"It's okay, come with me."
"Did you remember what I said?"
The girl nodded gently and tightened her grip on Nan Tong's fingers.
After a while, when Nan Tong returned to the courtyard with the dirty girl, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It was a strange scene to them: Nan Tong, the great mage of the sun, was leading a child who looked like a refugee.
Lin Ke raised an eyebrow slightly, and through the civilization panel, he immediately knew who the person next to Nan Tong was.
Clearly, this is the "neutral" unit.
But this is Delos, the island of leaders, and there are even soldiers patrolling the streets.
How did this guy get into a place like this?
Clearly, there were too many inexplicable things, so even though the other party looked pitiful, Lin Ke did not let her guard down.
What's going on?
Nan Tong then bowed and explained.
“Your Majesty, I found the girl at the courtyard wall. She climbed in through a gap in the wall. I have checked her and there is no threat to her magical power, nor is she carrying any dangerous equipment.”
At this point, Nan Tong suddenly hesitated.
"...She looked hungry and cold, so I didn't dare to do anything rashly and brought her to see you."
Lin Ke carefully examined the other person, while the girl timidly hid behind Nan Tong, only revealing half of her dirty face.
Those eyes were quite bright, and they kept stealing glances at the food on their table.
Seeing this action, Lin Ke simply continued to gently inquire about the other party's actions.
"Child, where did you come from? Why did you sneak in?"
Are you a native of Delos?
The girl bit her lip tightly, remaining silent.
Lin Ke, meanwhile, narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the girl's fingers begin to tremble.
Nan Tong then released his hand, preparing to tell the other person to listen to Lin Ke.
Just then, the seemingly weak and powerless girl suddenly darted out and headed towards Lin Ke.
"You little brat! You're asking for it!"
The succubus immediately stretched out her arm, and Ramses was ready to smash her with a punch.
But in that instant, Lin Ke appeared in front of them, preventing them from using their power.
In the blink of an eye, the little girl had circled behind Lin Ke at an incredible speed.
Her slender arms were tightly wrapped around the Holy Pharaoh's neck, and her long, sharpened fingernails were already pressed against Lin Ke's throat.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, Lin Ke was already firmly under control, with her fingernails only a finger's width away from her artery.
Everyone was immediately stunned. Even the captain of the guard and Khufu, who had already drawn their weapons, turned pale.
"Do not move!"
The girl's shrill voice was completely out of place with her petite figure.
"Anyone who dares to make a move will be killed!"
"If you want him to live, listen to me!"
The courtyard fell silent instantly.
Nan Tong was furious, one hand hovering in the air, but he dared not continue casting the spell.
"How dare you! You dare touch the holy body of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh with your filthy body!"
"Surrender immediately! If Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh suffers even the slightest scratch, I'll skin you alive with sand!"
Ramses's hand was already glowing with golden light, but he was unable to continue because Lin Ke was too close to the girl.
"Unable to perform."
The succubus's body had begun to gather purplish-red energy, but for the same reason, it had to be forcibly suppressed.
"Get off His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! You little brat!"
However, Lin Ke remained completely still, showing no struggle, no panic, and not even a erratic breathing rhythm.
He simply looked at everyone with gentle eyes, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
Listen carefully!
The girl commanded in a hoarse voice, her nails pressing even closer to Lin Ke's skin.
"Leave all the food! No more eating!!"
"Leave all the food and drinks for me!"
"All of you, get out!"
Nan Tong's anger was completely uncontrollable.
"Release His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"How audacious! If His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh hadn't protected you just now, you would be a pool of blood by now!"
"Get off His Holy Body, the Holy Pharaoh, immediately!"
"immediately!"
