"Really? That's incredible!"
"Doesn't this mean that Holy Egypt's grain production this year has reached a new record?"
"Wait a minute, don't interrupt. I asked this Holy Pharaoh first! Holy Pharaoh, could you share your experience in water conservancy projects? Our terrain is similar to that of Holy Egypt, and we also have a river near our capital!"
"Don't push! I haven't finished asking the Holy Pharaoh yet! What are you doing!"
Lin Ke was calmly answering the various questions people were asking, but before long, everyone discovered that Holy Egypt was a completely different country.
Because Lin Ke discussed several improved farming methods, he implied an open attitude towards technological exchange, while also tentatively mentioning the possibility of cooperating with other kingdoms.
Lin Ke's words became increasingly profound, to the point that some civilization leaders who had originally only intended to greet him were unable to move on.
Especially when Lin Ke told one of them that he had asked the giant serpent of Holy Egypt to help him build the canal, the people around him almost immediately became excited.
"This is simply a fantasy!"
"You can actually summon that kind of creature? Is it something similar to a god?"
“Holy Pharaoh! Do you think we could cooperate in the future? I really didn’t expect yesterday that the grain was actually brought from Holy Egypt by you!”
"It's all my servants' fault! They didn't explain things clearly!"
The crowd's words became increasingly exaggerated, and after learning that Holy Egypt was now a major producer, they showed even greater interest in it.
They all expressed their willingness to further explore the details of the cooperation.
Of course, the reason Lin Ke was willing to patiently answer their questions was because he could take the opportunity to promote Holy Egypt and let them know what kind of kingdom Holy Egypt is today.
The meeting has not yet begun, but the name of Holy Egypt will spread through word of mouth.
Nan Tong closely observed Lin Ke's conversation, occasionally adding details and providing supplementary information to Lin Ke's words.
Moreover, Nan Tong noticed that as His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh continued to answer questions from those around him, more and more leaders of civilizations quietly approached, pricking up their ears to eavesdrop.
The influence of Holy Egypt is quietly spreading in this seemingly casual conversation.
"...Yes, we already have plans to establish maritime trade routes."
"The starting point, naturally, is the Mediterranean Sea..."
Just as Lin Ke was about to explain further, a commotion suddenly broke out on the other side of the venue.
The crowd parted to the sides, as if the King of Kings of Persia had arrived, making way for a menacing figure.
The person was covered from head to toe in luxurious silk and gold and silver ornaments, and adorned with dazzling jewels.
His long robe was embroidered with intricate patterns, clearly a symbol of his power.
Even the person behind him was dressed elegantly, and was holding something for taking notes.
The people around Lin Ke also cast their gazes toward that person.
"It's him!"
"It is said that he controls the most important trading port on the eastern coast and has control over several key trade routes."
"Judging from that guy's appearance, his trade business has probably been booming in recent years."
"Yes, I heard that his army is now using obsidian armor, and almost every soldier can resist magic."
"That's terrifying."
Lin Ke remained silent, observing the newly arrived "giant" in silence.
Compared to the other representatives, this person walked with an exceptionally arrogant gait, as if he wanted everyone to notice his presence with every step he took.
He swept his gaze across the crowd, adopting an air of superiority.
What Lin Ke found somewhat strange was that most of the representatives whose eyes met his instinctively lowered their heads to avoid eye contact.
Lin Ke could tell at a glance that this guy was definitely an extremely arrogant fellow, and his status was probably only inferior to that of a powerful civilization like Persia.
However, just as the other party strutted arrogantly through the hall, an unexpected incident occurred.
At that moment, a slender attendant of another civilization's leader, who was being jostled by the crowd, stumbled forward and bumped right into the glamorous man's lower back.
Clearly, this was probably the first time that person had attended such an important occasion.
"Ouch!"
The servant called out, looked up, and saw the terrifying expression on the magnificent figure's face.
The hall was completely silent; everyone held their breath.
The glamorous figure slowly turned around, revealing a chilling sneer on his face.
Then, the person behind the glamorous figure suddenly raised his hand and slapped the unfortunate servant hard across the face without hesitation.
"Smack!"
The crisp sound echoed through the hall, causing even the people around Lin Ke to flinch.
Lin Ke and Nan Tong exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat puzzled.
This is the venue for the World Conference.
How could the other party be so brazen as to retaliate with violence?
"How dare you!"
Do you know who you touched?
The voice of the person behind the glamorous figure was icy cold, while the glamorous figure continued to sneer at the insignificant person who had offended him.
"Every inch of this esteemed sir's body embodies the sacred authority of our empire!"
"A nobility that you, an ant, can never reach in your entire life!"
"How dare you touch our supreme king with your lowly, filthy body?!"
"Guards, drag him out and punish him severely as a warning to others!"
"You must teach him a lesson on how to respect the leader of the empire!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ke saw two Greek guards immediately step forward, grab the weeping servant without a word, and drag him out of the hall.
The leader of the attendants hurriedly went to the elegant man and apologized profusely.
To Lin Ke's astonishment, the glamorous man and his attendants ignored the leader's voice and turned to walk away.
Outside the hall, people could still hear the shouts of the servant who was being dragged out.
"My lord! My lord! I was wrong, my lord!"
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Ah..."
The servants' cries and pleas for mercy gradually faded away, and the surroundings became quiet again.
As for the civilization leader who pleaded for mercy in front of the glamorous man, he was actually escorted out of the World Conference hall by several guards.
"This is the price for offending our great monarch!"
"People like this don't deserve to be invited to the World Conference at all!"
"They really don't know what's good for them, and they're so arrogant!"
"What's wrong with the hosts these days? How come just anyone can come to the World Conference?"
At that moment, the attendant behind the glamorous figure raised his voice.
Then, he gave Lin Ke a disdainful look.
