"Don't you know the rules? I think that's utter nonsense."
Nan Tong didn't shout like the other person, but his voice still carried throughout the entire venue.
"Article 3 of Chapter 2 of the World Conference Code clearly stipulates that each civilization may select its own delegation members who conform to its cultural traditions."
“Our Holy Egypt has a long tradition of respecting the elderly and the wise. As the guardians of Holy Egypt, magicians hold a position in our country second only to the Pharaoh himself.”
Of course, Nan Tong knew all this because he obtained a copy of the "World Parliament's Regulations" from the tribal king of Mali.
That was a gift given to Lin Ke by the Malian chieftain after Lin Ke met with him last night.
Lin Ke discovered this loophole that very night, so he brought Nan Tong in as a servant.
Some people in the hall were flipping through the "Rules of Procedure of the World Parliament," and they were quite surprised to find that what Nan Tong said was true.
"What?"
"How could Holy Egypt, a newly joined civilization, be so knowledgeable about the 'Rules of the World Parliament'?"
"That's incredible!"
Upon hearing this, the servant who had just spoken so arrogantly looked surprised.
But Nan Tong didn't give the other party a chance to explain; he just continued to speak.
"Furthermore, if bringing powerful figures to the meeting is considered a threat, then how do you explain the attendants behind the two Greek leaders and the Persian leader?"
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the Greek and Persian leaders. Leonidas looked away with a long smile, Pericles stared blankly at Link, and Nadir Shah gave a slight twitch of his lips.
"The attendants behind them are equipped with the most advanced weapons and protective gear. They are probably the most powerful warriors from Greece and Persia. Even their armor can probably defend against magic."
"Is he less threatening than an old magician like me who is over seventy years old?"
Nan Tong's rhetorical question left the glamorous figures speechless; they stammered and couldn't utter a word for a moment.
Many delegates followed Nan Tong's gaze and indeed found that behind the leaders of the civilization stood warriors, each one burly and well-equipped, clearly not ordinary guards, but well-trained elite soldiers.
Just then, the arrogant servant hurriedly began to explain.
"This...this is different!"
"They are taking necessary measures to protect the leader's safety, but you... you are clearly here to cause trouble!"
Upon hearing the other person's words, Nan Tong let out a cold laugh.
"Protect security?"
"According to the document, Delos has been a sacred and inviolable neutral Greek territory since ancient times, and there has never been any conflict."
"Moreover, Greek guards and magicians also protected the safety of many leaders who came to attend the World Conference."
"If that's the case, then those distinguished leaders with their fully armed soldiers would be a threat here?"
"In comparison, I, an old magician, am merely here to assist the Holy Pharaoh in his diplomatic activities. How could I be causing trouble? My presence here is perfectly legitimate and in accordance with the law."
"So, you really have some nerve! It's one thing to be completely ignorant of the rules of the World Conference, but now you dare to slander the esteemed leaders of Greece and Persia!"
Nan Tong's words were reasonable and well-founded, and his words could be corroborated, so many representatives present began to nod in agreement.
The glamorous man's face turned extremely ugly; he realized that he was the one who had violated the rules.
Moreover, Nan Tong continued talking without stopping.
"Moreover, even if our Holy Egypt is a small country participating for the first time, it doesn't mean we don't know the rules. That's unreasonable and illogical."
"On the contrary, it is precisely because of our respect for the World Conference that we strictly adhere to every single rule here!"
"Hmph! Some guys, on the surface, appear righteous, but in reality, they overstep the bounds at every turn, which is an insult to the World Conference!"
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Because no one had ever dared to confront that magnificent person so directly before, most civilization leaders chose to turn a blind eye and let it pass.
But now, the Holy Pharaoh of Holy Egypt and his great magician have done something that everyone dares to think of but not dare to do.
After all, no one dared to provoke that glamorous person, let alone directly launch such a highly aggressive attack.
"you......"
"you!"
The glamorous man knew he was in the wrong, and his face turned extremely ugly; he was speechless for a moment.
The servant behind him blushed, his eyes filled with a desire to tear Nan Tong to shreds.
Lin Ke stood to the side, his face remaining calm, but he was extremely satisfied with Nan Tong's performance.
After all, Nan Tong not only refuted the other party's false accusations, but also pointed the finger at the other party's illegal behavior.
This tactic of "fighting fire with fire" can be described as a masterful application of skill.
Just then, Nan Tong respectfully retreated to the position behind Lin Ke, but his eyes remained wary as he watched the other party, still ready to stand up for his Holy Pharaoh at any moment.
"You old man! Diplomatic occasions are all about reciprocity. How can you be so rude to representatives of other countries?"
"Don't you Holy Egypt understand basic diplomatic etiquette?"
As the other person finished speaking, it was as if he suddenly remembered something, and his anger turned into a mocking expression.
"Ah! I understand!"
"People from remote areas like you just don't know the rules!"
"Let me tell you, old man! Don't think that just because you attended the World Conference you can be on equal footing with us!"
"Let me tell you, our esteemed emperor can make your Holy Egypt regret it with just a glance!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Tong, who had already retreated behind Lin Ke, took another step and stood to Lin Ke's side.
He gave him a look that said, "You're really asking for trouble."
"I don't understand, are you threatening me?"
"Since we are participating in the World Conference, we should abide by basic international etiquette."
"From beginning to end, neither His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh nor I have ever shown you any disrespect. On the contrary, you first drove away a leader of civilization, and then spoke sarcastically and arrogantly to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"If it weren't for the mercy of our Holy Pharaoh, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have had a chance to speak!"
"Furthermore, does your attitude represent your entire civilization?"
"Oh, right, we still don't know where you're from."
Why not take this opportunity to introduce it to us, so that those of us from remote areas can see it for ourselves?
