Pachakutek looked at Lin Ke, his praise utterly sincere.
That sincere praise drew admiring glances from everyone around Lin Ke.
Pachakutek then bowed deeply.
"Brother Pharaoh!"
"So please forgive my previous lapse in composure!"
"Because, right today, right now, I see not only cheaper food, but also the brilliance of humanity!"
"What I heard was not just a number, but also a spirit!"
"This is the first time in so many years that I truly believe that sincerity and mutual assistance still exist at world conferences!"
"Perhaps the World Conference will be completely changed by your arrival!"
Upon hearing this, Ramses, who was listening quietly in a dark room not far away, nodded in agreement.
In his view, the Holy Pharaoh he followed was the one who was meant to change all of this.
Lin Ke narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing Pachakutk's words.
After all, this is the kind of information he needs and wants to know right now.
For Lin Ke, every word from Pachakutek was like a piece of the puzzle in the World Parliament, helping him piece together the whole picture of the current World Conference step by step.
As expected, it was pretty much exactly what Lin Ke had predicted.
This is a complex place full of deceit, intrigue, and power struggles.
At the same time, it is also a cruel arena where the strong bully the weak and the rich exploit the poor.
Here, these phenomena will be even more pronounced, with everyone probably hoping for the other's demise so they can seize the other's territory and resources.
"I see."
Therefore, Lin Ke simply put on a solemn expression and nodded her head a few times.
"When I, Holy Egypt, arrived here, I was met with cold looks from many leaders of civilizations."
"Now that I've heard what King Pachakutek said, I understand a bit more about this."
"Then I must thank you again, brother!"
Lin Ke bowed slightly, which immediately made Pachakutek stand up.
"Brother Pharaoh! What are you doing!"
"If anyone should be thanking someone, it's me who should thank you!"
Pachakutek picked up his glass again, then glanced at the various items neatly arranged in the distance.
Those were return gifts sent to Link by attendants from other civilization leaders. Pachakutek looked at them and simply snorted.
"Hmph, Brother Holy Pharaoh, if you ask me, most people here are not qualified to be acquainted with you."
"Of course, I consider myself the same. After all, if I hadn't come here today, I would never have imagined that the leader of Holy Egypt would be such a benevolent king."
As Pachakutek finished speaking, he slowly raised his glass.
“Holy Pharaoh, it is my honor to meet you here.”
I salute you!
The wine glasses clinked together, making a "ding" sound.
Lin Ke and Pachakutek downed their drinks in one gulp. Now, after several rounds of drinks, Pachakutek's eyes showed a hint of drunkenness.
However, due to the influence of the power of Hades, Lin Ke felt no signs of intoxication whatsoever.
Pachakutek looked at Lin Ke with a more serious expression in his eyes.
“Brother Pharaoh.”
"However, there is something else important I need to tell you."
"Here, there are many other civilization leaders who have had similar experiences to me. In addition, there are also quite a few leaders who are not bad."
"But you are new here and don't know the situation here yet, so I can only tell you this way before you state your position. Please forgive me."
Lin Ke looked at the other person with a slight doubt, then nodded gently, signaling the other person to continue.
Pachakutek looked at Lin Ke's puzzled expression and simply raised the corners of his mouth.
“Brother Pharaoh, you know that the Greeks have many alliances of their own, don’t you?”
“There are similar things here, but people don’t call them by any name on the surface.”
"Here, only interests connect us, and you must remember that."
"If someone approaches you on their own initiative, they probably have designs on you."
"It could be that they're extending an olive branch to you, or it could be that they've become interested in something from Holy Egypt."
"This is the experience I've gained from attending world conferences over the years."
"Hopefully this will be of some small help to this benevolent king who is visiting this place for the first time."
As Pachakutek spoke, his body began to sway slightly.
"Thank you, Pachakutk brothers."
"Your words are very important to me."
"Oh, right, besides that..."
While Pachakutek was speaking, Lin Ke had already made some adjustments to the civilization panel.
Because Pachacuti told Linko the specific direction and location of the Inca civilization, Linko has now dispatched the Holy Egyptian fleet.
"There's something else I'd like to discuss with my brother."
"If my brother agrees, I think it would be of great help to me."
"Of course, but this might make things a little awkward for you, brother. I'm not making this request to blackmail you; I'm just discussing it."
"Whether you agree or not, I will sell you the grain as agreed."
Pachakutek shook his head a few times and gently placed one hand on his heart.
"Brother Holy Pharaoh, what else is there to say!"
"We're all brothers!"
"You're already my benefactor because you're willing to lend me a helping hand in my time of need!"
"Just tell me what you need!"
"By the way, even if you wanted the mining rights to our new gold mine, I would be willing to give them to you!"
"The good stuff should be left for the brothers!"
After Pachakutek finished speaking, Lin Ke quickly waved his hand in refusal.
Of course, he had to refuse, otherwise, once Pachakutek sobered up, the other party's attitude and relationship with Link and Saint Egypt would likely deteriorate immediately.
For Lin Ke, that would be a losing proposition.
"Thank you for your kindness, brothers Pachakutk, but please allow me to decline your gift."
“In Holy Egypt, we say, even brothers should keep clear accounts.”
"What I mean is, this time our deal is limited to grain; I don't want anything else."
"If I were to accept it, it would only make me feel uneasy."
Upon hearing Lin Ke's words, Pachakutek's admiration deepened.
He looked at Lin Ke's face and shook his head slightly, as if to say, "How can there be such a person in the world?"
“Brother Pharaoh, I admire you. I have said too much today.”
"If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know!"
