At the same time, in the palace, when King Arthas saw a tall city rising from the ground at the edge of his vision, he finally realized that the rumors about Holy Egypt were true.
There is a person whose body is glowing with golden light, who can build a house in the blink of an eye and cut down a forest in a moment.
However, those rumors were not as shocking as seeing it with one's own eyes.
"Today I saw it with my own eyes and realized how short-sighted we were."
Arthas, the king of Atlantis, stood in front of Link and bowed deeply to him.
His eyes were full of respect and gratitude, and his voice trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, your divine power, your wisdom, and your broad mind have deeply shocked the people of Atlantis."
"We will always remember your kindness to us. As the king of Atlantis, I will definitely fulfill our promise."
"Atlantis will pay tribute to Holy Egypt every year and become the bloodline of Holy Egypt."
"Once again, on behalf of all Atlanteans, I pay you my highest respects."
The King of Atlantis bowed deeply to Link again.
Lin Ke nodded and immediately stepped forward to help him up.
Ultimately, it's a win-win situation.
With the addition of Atlantis, not only will the overall strength of Holy Egypt be greatly enhanced, but there will also be a safe war buffer zone on the coastline.
Moreover, Atlantis is more familiar with and knows more about naval battles than those people living in the desert.
Not to mention they also know how to produce extremely powerful equipment.
"It is also an honor for Holy Egypt to have a blood ally like Atlantis."
"From this day forward, Atlantis will become a close friend of Holy Egypt, as will the Amazons."
"Please rise, King of Atlantis."
Lin Ke helped the other person up, then walked out of the palace, and asked Nan Tong to use magic to spread his voice throughout the city.
"From now on, Atlantis is the blood-ally ally of Holy Egypt!"
"We will be firmly bound together to fight against the powerful enemies of the future!"
Upon hearing this, the people of Holy Egypt spontaneously flocked to the streets to see off the Atlanteans who were about to go to the new city.
"Welcome to Cairo again, my friends from the sea!"
“Come back and taste the wine and bread of Cairo!”
Women threw lotus flowers into the air, children waved flags, and cheers rang out.
Arthas looked at the lively scene before him, feeling filled with emotion.
He turned to Lin Ke and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, could you please give this new city a name?"
Lin Ke just smiled and looked at the new city in the distance: "So, how about naming it 'Chaohai Sand City'?"
Arthas repeated it in a low voice, his eyes shining: "'Chaohai Sand City'? What a good name!"
Lin Ke looked at the city in the distance and slowly began to explain. "'Chao' symbolizes the ocean, the flow of tides and waves, and also represents the deep connection between Atlantis and the ocean."
"'Sea' represents the inclusiveness and vastness of the ocean, and symbolizes the civilization and spirit of Atlantis."
"'Shadu' symbolizes the location of the city, where the desert meets the ocean, and also symbolizes the help and protection that Holy Egypt provided to Atlantis."
After Arthas heard this, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Wonderful! Wonderful! His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is indeed very wise."
“This name reflects our culture and reminds us of the grace of Holy Egypt to Atlantis.”
Then Arthas took a step back and bowed again.
"The people of Atlantis will always remember your kindness."
"May our friendship be as eternal as the sun and the moon. Please allow me to express my gratitude to you once again, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
Lin Ke nodded, then watched Arthas and the Atlanteans leave.
Not long after, Kamul, accompanied by his soldiers, entered the palace with two foreigners in robes.
Kamul looked serious and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, I have been watching these two people for a long time according to your instructions."
"They are very interested in your bet with the King of Atlantis."
“We found them trying to escape today, so we caught them.”
Lin Ke's gaze fell on the two foreigners, his expression as calm as water.
He had already locked the locations of these two people through the civilization panel.
Moreover, he originally thought that these two people were spies or spies sent by Western forces.
But what surprised him was that the panel showed that the country to which these two people belonged had an attitude of "neutral" rather than "hostile" towards Holy Egypt.
This made Lin Ke a little confused.
Because, according to the witch, the attitude of those Western forces towards Holy Egypt must be "hostile" rather than "neutral."
So, Lin Ke returned to the throne and slowly said, "What are you doing in Holy Egypt?"
The two foreigners lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into Lin Ke's eyes.
One of them trembled and said, "We...we are just businessmen who came to Holy Egypt to do business."
Tsk, what a lame lie.
Lin Ke continued to ask: "Merchant?"
"Then why did you run away? And why are you so interested in our bet?"
Another person hurriedly explained: "We are just curious... We heard that the Holy Pharaoh wanted to build a city within ten days, and we found it incredible, so..."
Lin Ke interrupted, "You find it unbelievable, so you sneaked into the city to get information? Your excuse is too lame."
The two men looked pale and cold sweat oozed from their foreheads.
They discussed in low voices for a few sentences, and one of them finally gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, we, hey! We are indeed not merchants, but we are not your enemies either."
"The purpose of our trip is to understand the situation in Holy Egypt. As for the bet, we are indeed very curious, so..."
This statement is consistent with the information on the civilization panel.
Lin Ke continued to ask: "Then why did you run away?"
The man smiled bitterly and said, "This is because we made a bet with a man from Holy Egypt, betting on whether you can build a city, but we didn't expect..."
"Unexpectedly, we lost all our money in this bet, so we chose to run away."
"However, this does not mean that we are hostile to Holy Egypt. We are here only to gather intelligence!"
Lin Ke was silent for a moment, then continued to ask: "On whose orders?"
Then, the two men looked at each other, as if they didn't know whether they should say it or not.
But Lin Ke didn't want to waste time listening to their sophistry.
He only wants to hear the truth.
"Take them away and have the branch leader of the Witch and Demon Society bring the lion snake dog to entertain them well."
Upon hearing this, Kamul immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
