Lin Ke listened to the other party's words and started thinking again.
If this guy wasn't talking nonsense out of fear...
Then they are still useful to Holy Egypt!
If what these two guys said is true, then soon there will be no caravans left in the city of Holy Egypt that will be able to buy anything other than food.
This means that supplies of certain metals, special spices, and wood will be lost.
This will have a huge impact on Holy Egypt because it will also affect the production of soldiers' equipment.
So, he had to get more information.
For example, first find the location of the Aztecs, and then send a [Scout] there.
As long as he discovers this strange civilization, Lin Ke will be able to communicate with the other party's leader directly in the civilization panel.
Otherwise, if we let these two guys go, they might just run away and stop doing business with Holy Egypt.
If the Aztecs could really provide Holy Egypt with the supplies they needed, they could cooperate and achieve mutual benefit.
So, Lin Ke asked again: "You said you are from Aztec, so where exactly is Aztec?"
One of them swallowed and said in a trembling voice: "Reply...Reply to the Holy Pharaoh, Aztec is in the southeast, and it can be reached by passing through a large forest and rainforest."
"Our city-state is in the center of that area, surrounded by many barbarian tribes."
Lin Ke frowned as he listened, and suddenly felt confused.
The forests and rainforests in the southeast are indeed the gathering places of barbarians. It is full of dangers and even the caravans of Holy Egypt never go in that direction.
Even Lin Ke's [Scout] could only gather information from the periphery and had no way of going deeper.
This is because the barbarian tribes there are too densely populated.
So, Lin Ke continued to ask: "Aren't there a lot of barbarians over there? How did you get through there?"
Another person hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, our Aztec leader has a very good relationship with the barbarian king!"
"We pay tribute to the barbarians every year in exchange for their protection."
"So, when we pass through that area, the barbarians won't bother us!"
Hearing this, Lin Ke began to think.
Aztec? Barbarian King?
Considering that Holy Egypt had fought a war with the barbarians before, Linke felt that the Aztecs' attitude towards Holy Egypt might not be very good.
After all, the Aztecs' big brothers, the barbarians, had been beaten up by Holy Egypt.
but......
What if we eliminate the barbarians, make them pledge allegiance to Holy Egypt, and help Holy Egypt build roads?
Maybe we can even make the other party pay tribute to Holy Egypt!
Of course, Lin Ke is not fully aware of these situations now, and he must talk with the other party’s leader before he can understand them.
Lin Ke warned the two: "I will investigate and confirm whether the information you said is true."
"During this period of time, I'll have to inconvenience you to live in Holy Egypt."
When the two heard the words "living in Holy Egypt", their faces turned pale instantly.
Their eyes unconsciously glanced at the witch and the lion snake dog, and their hearts were filled with fear.
One of them trembled and said, "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, we...we really have no ill intentions, can we..."
Lin Ke interrupted them, his tone turned cold: "Although you are not the enemy of Saint Egypt, we cannot be sure whether you are the friend of Saint Egypt."
"So, you stay here for now."
"must."
The two men looked at each other, their eyes full of fear.
They looked at Lin Ke, then at the witch and the lion snake dog, and nodded frantically, fearing that they would be chopped up and fed to the terrible monster in the next second.
One of them said quickly: "We understand! We understand!"
"We must stay here and not mess around!"
Lin Ke nodded and put on the hood of his cloak again, covering most of his face.
"Someone will come to take you away shortly."
After saying this, he turned and left, followed closely by the witch and the lion snake dog.
The two foreigners watched their backs disappear at the end of the corridor, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and collapsed on the ground.
Their foreheads were covered in cold sweat and their clothes were soaked with sweat.
One of them murmured in a trembling voice: "How terrible! How terrible!"
"That witch and that monster, I thought we were dead!"
One of them wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face still pale: "Yes! Holy Egypt is too dangerous!"
“When that holy pharaoh looked at me, it was as if he saw through my soul.”
Another person said with a wry smile: "We are so lucky."
"Yes, we are still alive, not dead."
The second man sighed, "But we are safe for now."
"The Holy Pharaoh said someone will come to take us away. I hope it won't be that witch and her monsters."
The first man suddenly became nervous: "Do you think they will suddenly change their minds and feed us to that monster?"
The second person interrupted him, his face even paler: "Stop talking!"
"I don't want to hear that again! All we can do now is pray that the Holy Pharaoh really only wants us to stay here temporarily."
The two were silent for a moment, the silence in the prison made them feel even more depressed.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside the prison.
The two foreigners immediately became nervous and stared at the cell door.
