Pachakutk's eyes trembled slightly.
Because, in his view, this holy pharaoh might actually be willing to sell him grain!
Of course, Lin Ke knew the other party's purpose from the very beginning.
Therefore, he could tell from the other person's slightly trembling gaze that the other person was probably already thinking about food.
But for Lin Ke, now is not the time.
This was not the time Lin Ke was waiting for, so he thought for a moment and continued to speak.
“Saint Egypt is like my child. As a parent, I naturally see more of the shining aspects of my child.”
“However, King Pachacuti, I was the one introducing Holy Egypt just now, but you haven’t properly introduced the Inca Kingdom to me yet.”
"Let me guess... judging from your attire, the Inca must be a kingdom skilled in craftsmanship and rich in gold, right?"
Pachakutk smiled and nodded slightly.
Of course, Lin Ke didn't get to the point, otherwise Pachakutk wouldn't have gone into such detail.
What Lin Ke said were merely rough conclusions drawn from observation.
“You are right, Holy Pharaoh. However, what we Incas are most famous for is our stone construction skills.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Ke deliberately feigned great curiosity: "Oh? What do you mean?"
Pachakutk's expression relaxed considerably, and a hint of pride suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Our people are skilled at using stone to build sturdy fortresses and palaces, many of which were rebuilt after the war."
Upon hearing the words "after the war," Lin Ke's eyes showed even more doubt, while Pachakutek continued to speak.
“Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh may not know, but back then, our people faced annihilation when the Changka people invaded and our capital almost fell.”
“My father abandoned me, and I led my people in a fight against him. In the end, we were blessed by the gods and won with the help of the mountains and rocks.”
"This is also the origin of my title 'Stone Shaker'."
“After that, everyone called me ‘The Rockbreaker’ Pachakutk.”
At that moment, Nan Tong, who was behind Lin Ke, looked extremely surprised.
Of course, this was all arranged in advance by Lin Ke. As long as Pachakutke mentioned that war, Nan Tong could start her performance.
"this!"
"How similar this is to the experience of my Holy Pharaoh!"
Nan Tong deliberately feigned surprise, while Lin Ke also made a gesture of widening her eyes and frowning.
"So even King Pachakutek had such an experience!?"
Isn't this quite a coincidence?
Upon hearing Lin Ke's words, Pachakutek was immediately stunned.
He glanced at Nan Tong, then at Lin Ke, his curiosity and surprise clearly showing on his face.
"What?!"
"Could it be that the Holy Pharaoh was one of them?"
At this moment, Nan Tong immediately spoke up: "That's right! At that time, the Hebrew Empire's hundreds of millions of troops were at the gates of the Holy Egyptian capital!"
"The former king has passed away, and at that time, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh was still the eldest prince of Holy Egypt!"
As Nan Tong said this, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice began to choke.
Even Lin Ke couldn't tell for a moment whether it was Nan Tong acting or his genuine feelings.
"The enemy's vanguard of mages has already stormed the royal palace of Holy Egypt!"
"This old minister will lead the remaining troops in a desperate fight!"
"But I, the great prince of Holy Egypt, who is now His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, have made a decision!"
"A great decision that will shape the history of Holy Egypt!"
Nan Tong burst into tears, while Pachakutek was completely captivated, almost stopping his breathing.
"Our eldest prince did not choose to run away, but chose to become our guide in the crumbling palace!"
"He ran through the flames of magic, leaping beneath collapsing stone pillars!"
"The enemy wants to tear him apart, and we will protect him with our lives!"
"Finally, the eldest prince reached the highest point of the palace, donned the double crown, and raised the Pharaoh's staff!"
"In the midst of war, he became the greatest emperor of our Holy Egypt, a king unlike any before or since!"
"Ah! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Tong's face was already covered in tears and snot.
All the guards of Holy Egypt around him knelt down in unison, but to be precise, they were prostrating themselves, the kind of prostration where they stretched their bodies out to the brim.
Everyone was crying, and even Lin Ke was momentarily stunned by the sight.
"This...this is a little too much..."
Lin Ke's lips moved slightly, but he only made a faint sound, like an ant crawling on the ground.
But when he shifted his gaze from Nantong to Pachakutek, he saw burning tears in Pachakutek's eyes.
Without any attempt to conceal it, I resonated with that story and deeply understood Nan Tong's tearful gaze.
"Oh! Holy Pharaoh!"
Pachakutek was very excited. He stood up and grabbed Lin Ke's hand.
Lin Ke didn't remain stunned. He knew very well that now was the best opportunity to close the distance.
Instead, he immediately raised his voice, taking advantage of the other person's reaction.
"Oh dear! King Pachakutek!"
The two smiled at each other, and the distance between them suddenly closed.
Pachakutek recounted the past of the Inca civilization, and Linke nodded frequently.
Lin Ke then began to introduce the agricultural techniques of Holy Egypt, from irrigation systems to crop rotation.
Pachakutek listened intently, occasionally asking questions. The two were like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time, their conversation never stopping.
"Such a sophisticated water conservancy system is truly admirable!"
"The people of Holy Egypt are truly fortunate to have a leader like you!"
As Pachakutek spoke, he took another big gulp of "cocoa."
Then, his expression darkened, and he picked up the wine next to him and took a big gulp.
Clearly, that reminded Pachacuti of the Inca civilization and his people suffering from famine.
Compared to Holy Egypt, the Incas were the complete opposite.
Pachakutk then remembered the purpose of his visit and steered the conversation back to the issue of food.
Of course, he didn't want to reveal his intentions directly, so he simply asked about the current state of Holy Egypt.
"I wonder how the people of Holy Egypt are living these days?"
"With such abundant food in Holy Egypt, surely your country doesn't have any food shortage problems?"
Lin Ke naturally knew that the other party was planning to get back to the core issue.
So he simply took a breath and pretended to be deep in thought.
