"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, you have indeed thought things through carefully!"
How did you know that the leader from Mali would come to the port?
On the other side, in a patch of dark grass some distance from the port, two black figures, completely shrouded in the night, were hiding.
Those were Lin Ke and Nan Tong.
Of course, Lin Ke noticed a strange "situation" in the civilization panel.
He had initially noticed that several new "units" had been added to Mali's residence, and that those "units" were clearly heading in the direction of Holy Egypt.
But not long after, they changed direction and headed towards the dock.
Therefore, Lin Ke and Nan Tong came here together. They had already heard the entire conversation between the leaders of the Inca and Mali.
"That's not important."
"The important person is the leader of Mali."
Lin Ke did not answer Nan Tong's question directly. At this moment, as he watched the leader of Mali walk further and further away, he felt a growing sense of doubt.
In Lin Ke's view, the leaders of Mali must already know about the relationship between Holy Egypt and the Inca.
But when the Malian leader had the chance to confront the issue, he chose to cleverly avoid it in another way.
This seemed very strange to Lin Ke.
Upon hearing Lin Ke's words, Nan Tong raised her own question.
"The leader of Mali?"
"Your Majesty, have you sensed something?"
"In my humble opinion, although the leader of Mali is meticulous, he seems to have some intellectual problems."
"He used the information he observed to deduce an incorrect conclusion."
"However, this is a good thing for Holy Egypt and for the Inca, because if what happened today were discovered, it would directly affect His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh's plans."
However, Lin Ke shook her head after hearing Nan Tong's words.
"That's not the case."
"It's more accurate to say that Mali's leaders are unwilling to point it out."
As Lin Ke finished speaking, she simply watched the Malian leader's retreating figure grow ever more distant.
Lin Ke even frowned slightly.
Upon hearing Lin Ke's words, Nan Tong looked at Lin Ke's eyes in the darkness with some confusion.
"Wh-what?!"
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the leader of Mali actually knew that this food was provided by Holy Egypt?"
"So, he... is helping us?!"
"But why would he do that?"
Lin Ke did not respond immediately to Nan Tong's question.
In Lin Ke's mind, the first image that appeared was of Lin Ke arguing with the attendant beside the King of Portugal when the ships of Holy Egypt approached the port.
Clearly, Mali's leaders had already taken notice of Linke at that time.
Moreover, when Lin Ke visited the Malian leader this afternoon, he was not even at his residence, and even the Malian soldiers did not know where he had gone.
Lin Ke then turned his gaze to the Inca King's retinue who were speeding up the unloading of goods at the dock.
"have no idea."
Upon hearing this, Nan Tong was stunned.
He was increasingly confused, but soon Lin Ke began to explain.
"The first thing that can be confirmed is that Mali's leaders had already taken notice of us early on."
"They also showed us goodwill, as evidenced by their return gifts and the smiles they gave us at the dock."
"This afternoon, the Malian leader was not at his residence, but late at night, he came to the Inca port."
"Although the Malian leader's reason was that he saw several suspicious figures, which sounds reasonable, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny at all."
"How could a leader of a civilization possibly concern himself with such sneaky people?"
"This is the duty of the Greek patrol soldiers."
Upon hearing Lin Ke's words, Nan Tong remained silent for a moment before continuing to ask his question: "His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is absolutely right."
"Could it be that this leader in Mali has already guessed about the deal between us and the Inca civilization?"
"So, the reason he came here in person today was to verify this matter... and then, he chose to help?"
"This old minister...this old minister still doesn't quite understand, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
However, at this moment, Lin Ke simply told Nan Tong to start walking immediately.
With Nan Tong still puzzled, they quickened their pace toward their dwelling, which was also the dwelling of Saint Egypt.
“That’s right. I suspect that the leader of Mali was probably one of the participants in the underground meeting we witnessed today.”
Upon hearing this, Nan Tong was speechless with surprise. He simply quickened his pace, trying to keep up with His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
“And our meeting with the King of Inca last night was probably already known to him in secret.”
“If they have been keeping an eye on Sacred Egypt, they will know that the Inca king visited Sacred Egypt and did not leave until late at night.”
"Therefore, if he knew about this news, he would definitely send soldiers in secret to observe the movements at the port."
Upon hearing this, Nan Tong immediately showed an expression of sudden realization.
"I see! What His Majesty the Pharaoh means is that the leaders of Mali had already guessed that we had made a deal with them!"
Not only that, Nan Tong's expression also showed a hint of surprise.
"Furthermore, Mali already has some understanding of our Holy Egypt!"
"They know perfectly well that our Holy Egypt has extremely high grain production, and they also know that our ships may be storing grain?"
"Oh! There are still such... shady people out there?!"
"But Your Majesty, most of the people at that secret gathering we witnessed today were hostile towards us!"
"They are not hostile and have maintained a neutral attitude towards us, so what reason would that leader in Mali have to help us?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ke simply continued to explain.
"That's right, that's the reason we don't know."
“But the other party has come to the dock, probably to confirm that our Holy Egypt does indeed have this capability.”
"It has the ability to help the Inca, and more importantly, it has the power of Holy Egypt behind this deal."
"The economy, food production, and the overall strength of our Holy Egypt."
"He probably only chose to help us after he learned this."
"Therefore, we must hurry back to our lodgings."
"If I'm not mistaken, the Malian leader will probably head to our lodgings next."
Nan Tong simply looked puzzled again.
"But Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh?"
"It's already late at night!"
