Lin Ke knew very well that it was Musa's invitation.
This was no ordinary invitation; it was a plea for Lin Ke to choose to stand on the side of the faction that Mali belonged to.
But Lin Ke did not give his answer. He simply chatted with Musa for a few words and then left.
After her brief meeting with Musa, Lin Ke returned to her residence with Nan Tong.
On the surface, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the conversation between Lin Ke and Musa, but the implicit probing and provocation made him wary.
"Which side do they actually represent?"
"Could it be Athens?"
Lin Ke still remembered the gathering they had seen underground, and he was certain that Athens must have played an important role in it.
However, Lin Ke had no evidence to prove this; it was all just speculation.
Speculation is not a definitive conclusion.
Ayina was already asleep, with breadcrumbs still clinging to the corner of her mouth.
In just two days, Ayina was no longer as thin as when they first met.
Beside Ayina were Ramses and the succubus.
They saw Lin Ke, but instead of leaving the area, they followed her into the courtyard.
Ramses spoke first.
"Your Majesty, did you gain anything from your conversation with the King of Mali?"
Lin Ke slowly sat down and took a gentle breath.
"certainly."
"However, we currently lack evidence and cannot determine which faction Mali belongs to."
"But what is certain is that the leaders of Mali intend to invite us to join their organization."
Upon hearing this, Ramses' eyes flashed with golden light.
“Those fools dare to blaspheme the majesty of the Holy Pharaoh.”
"They dare to invite you to join them? They should be under your command and obey your orders."
The gods were enraged, their fists clenched, and golden light surged forth.
“If it weren’t for your order to restrain yourself, I would have already unleashed divine punishment and turned these arrogant fools into ashes.”
"They are not worthy of your respect."
Seeing this, Lin Ke simply raised his hand to signal: "Calm down, God of the Desert and the Nile."
"This leader of Mali is not our enemy. On the contrary, they have shown goodwill and may become one of our allies in the future."
"Perhaps maintaining friendly diplomatic relations is also a good idea."
Upon hearing this, Ramses immediately suppressed his anger and stood respectfully with his head bowed.
The succubus then looked at Lin Ke, sizing up the Holy Pharaoh's body before covering her mouth and chuckling.
"Your Majesty, you actually saw through their tricks, didn't you?"
"The more she values us, the more it shows their fear of the enemy."
"The fear they have of the other side."
As the succubus finished speaking, she simply looked at Lin Ke and revealed a slightly sinister smile.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is unaware of this."
"Today, I have planted the seeds of nightmares in the hearts of those servants of other civilizations who looked down upon you."
"They'll all have some interesting dreams tonight, I think that'll be enough to punish them properly~"
"If not, I feel a deep resentment lingering in my heart, and I simply have no way to vent it."
Lin Ke looked at the succubus. He hadn't expected that in just one afternoon, the succubus would go out and do such a thing.
However, the succubus was using very weak witchcraft, and the places she went to were all the territories of small kingdoms.
They didn't have a powerful magician, so they couldn't discover this.
"You did a good job, but you must not do it again next time."
"This is Delos Island. If the island's magicians sense that you have used witchcraft, you should be careful that they don't find any evidence against you."
"These methods are very suitable for dealing with those small fry, but be careful not to get yourself involved."
Hearing Lin Ke's caring words, the succubus revealed a smug and happy expression.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"I knew it, you care about me the most~"
Nan Tong watched this scene, but she was already used to it.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"Today, the island of Delos is a complex mix of powers. On the surface, it is a platform for exchanges between major civilizations, but in reality, it is a breeding ground for all kinds of conspiracies."
"I am worried that at tomorrow's World Conference, someone might take the opportunity to attack us."
"Even the king of the Mali tribe, who is of medium status, is just one of the pawns."
"It's hard to imagine what kind of powerful force is behind them that has them under control."
Lin Ke nodded slightly in agreement as she listened to Nan Tong's words.
You're right.
"Based on the intelligence we currently possess, there are quite a few representatives of civilizations who are hostile to us."
"And the rest, most of them, had absolutely no knowledge of Holy Egypt."
"Therefore, under the influence of that powerful force, they are very likely to join forces to embarrass us at the meeting."
"However, if that's the case, then so be it. Nan Tong, no matter what happens tomorrow, you must not use magic to protect me."
"This concerns our Holy Egypt; we must not act impulsively."
Although Nan Tong seemed somewhat hesitant, he eventually agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
Then, Ramses looked at Lin Ke and asked, "Your Majesty, are you worried that tomorrow's vote will be obstructed?"
"How about I go with you, or I can infuse your body with divine power and stay with you?"
"This will at least provide a better guarantee for your safety."
But upon hearing Ramses's words, Lin Ke shook her head a few times.
"There's no need for that. Tomorrow we're heading to the World Conference venue, where there will certainly be all sorts of magical rituals and magicians conducting inspections."
"This trick probably won't fool them. I don't even know if I can bring these ornaments into the group."
As Lin Ke spoke, she glanced at the green bandage on her wrist.
However, he did not dwell on it for long.
"But none of that matters. What matters is tomorrow's meeting."
“I am worried that the side in Mali will probably take a more direct approach.”
“If a major conflict breaks out, we in Holy Egypt will certainly not stand idly by; they will definitely want us to make our stance clear.”
"Judging from what the Malian leader just said, I'm afraid another civilized leader will leave."
"I'm afraid things will be much more complicated than we anticipated."
After these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence.
"What does His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh mean?"
"Could it be that someone will resort to violence at the world conference?"
Lin Ke shook her head in response to Nan Tong's question.
"No, I don't think they would be that bold."
"But there will definitely be unexpected situations."
