Lin Ke and Nan Tong drifted further and further apart.
So much so that when Nan Tong turned around halfway through the journey, he found that he could no longer see their original residence.
The trees around them were increasing, and Nan Tong could tell that his Holy Pharaoh was leading him away from the area where the leaders of various civilizations lived.
Not only that, but even this path seems to have been deserted for a long time, with the stone slabs covered with a layer of messy grass.
What puzzled Nan Tong even more was that the Holy Pharaoh actually knew where this road led.
Of course, he did not voice his doubts, after all, in his mind, the Holy Pharaoh was a being even greater than the gods.
Therefore, in his view, it must have been His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh who discovered this road in the dead of night, and there must have been a reason for the Holy Pharaoh to do so.
Lin Ke, who was leading the way for Nan Tong, only dared to take a step after slowly lifting her foot and carefully looking at the stone slab below.
Although his body could withstand even divine magic, strangely, he would experience considerable pain from mistakes he made himself, such as falling down.
That feeling was even stronger than that of "divine magic".
"It doesn't look that far on the map..."
"I thought I had taken a shortcut, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to walk."
"But leaving from here will prevent the Greek soldiers from spotting us."
"There's really no other way..."
Lin Ke continued forward, talking to herself softly.
Soon, a warm breeze carrying the scent of the ocean blew onto Lin Ke's face.
A more noticeable faint smell of salt and seaweed began to appear in the air.
This indicates that they are moving further and further away from where they started.
Nan Tong looked at Lin Ke, preparing to have the attendants behind him hand the water jug to the Holy Pharaoh.
When he turned around, he realized that the servants had long since returned to their quarters in Holy Egypt.
His face showed confusion; he didn't understand why His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh was acting alone.
"Your Majesty, is it really alright if it's just the two of you and this old minister?"
"This journey is even longer than I imagined. What will you do if the leader of the Mali civilization returns now?"
"May I use magic to send you back quickly? But I am worried that using magic might cause some unnecessary trouble."
On Delos Island, there are powerful mages who specialize in monitoring magical fluctuations.
Those people wore obsidian suits that could disable magic, and they were also skilled at using various magic arrays that restricted the casting of spells.
Of course, Lin Ke learned all of this from his conversation with the leaders of those civilizations this morning. Therefore, using magic in violation of regulations here would indeed cause unnecessary trouble.
"No need, the Malian leader will not be returning anytime soon."
Lin Ke said this because he could see it in the civilization panel.
If the leader of the Malian civilization were to return to his residence, he would certainly be the first to see it.
Because the number of people stationed in Mali will increase.
"You don't need to use magic either, because that would attract unnecessary attention."
"We'd better keep our whereabouts hidden and not let anyone find out."
"Otherwise, wouldn't there be no point in us changing our clothes?"
As Lin Ke spoke, she straightened her clothes.
The clothes he and Nan Tong were wearing now were like those of nobles, not like the robes of emperors that would attract attention.
Although Nan Tong responded with a low "yes," he cautiously scanned his surroundings.
Clearly, he found it difficult to relax in unfamiliar foreign territory.
Seeing this, Lin Ke simply smiled.
"Don't worry, Nan Tong. I'm only going there to verify some of my conjectures."
"There will be no danger."
"Tomorrow is the World Conference. If anyone dares to use violence and magic against us at this time, they will be going against the entire world."
"No one would be that stupid."
Sure enough, Lin Ke soon saw a road ahead, and some white stone buildings began to appear.
Further away is the bay, and from where Lin Ke stands, he can see the distant sea.
The two continued along the winding path, away from the main road.
This place seemed to be a fairly large town, but strangely, even though it was broad daylight, Lin Ke didn't see many people walking on the streets.
Therefore, Lin Ke stopped on the outskirts of the town. After all, he didn't know the situation here and needed to observe for a while longer to gather more information.
Nan Tong, standing behind Lin Ke, couldn't help but frown.
"Your Majesty, is it because of the World Conference that the residents of this town have temporarily moved away?"
"Why is there not a soul on the street in broad daylight?"
Lin Ke did not respond; he simply continued to observe.
He knew very well that there must be something seriously wrong here.
Because he could clearly see from the civilization panel that there were many people from different kingdoms and civilizations coming and going here.
So Lin Ke kept observing the road surface and the civilization panel.
Just as expected!
Although the civilization panel clearly showed someone here, in Lin Ke's eyes, this place was still empty.
But Lin Ke was very clear that the civilization panel could not possibly have any problems.
But what lies before us is an undeniable fact.
Not to mention people, you can't even see a single seabird.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh?"
"This place feels fraught with danger. Perhaps I should have this old minister escort you away first?"
Lin Ke simply shook his head, and then he began to observe the surrounding scenery more carefully.
There was nothing scattered on the ground, which indicates that the people here must not have left in a hurry.
How could a town that looks perfectly normal appear so strange?
Just then, Lin Ke saw someone approaching his location in the civilization panel.
But as he turned his head, he still couldn't see anyone.
...Could it be that the other party can become invisible?
But then Lin Ke thought about it again and realized that it was impossible.
After all, there was a great solar mage beside him, and Nan Tong couldn't possibly not sense anyone approaching.
The two figures shown on the civilization panel were getting closer and closer, while Lin Ke narrowed his eyes more cautiously to observe his surroundings.
There is no one.
And those two, in the civilization panel, had almost already begun to touch Lin Ke.
Seeing Lin Ke's wary look, Nan Tong immediately went into protective mode as well.
Lin Ke and Nan Tong remained silent for a while.
