Chapter 319: Cairo



The next morning.

Lin Ke woke up leisurely in her bedroom.

Sunlight was streaming in through the linen curtains.

He was leaning on a couch covered with soft wool, holding a cup of honey milk brought by a servant, which had a sweet aroma and a mellow taste.

On the side, the servant had already prepared breakfast for him.

Golden toasted bread made from the finest wheat, with a plate of dried figs on the side.

The food alone filled up the Holy Pharaoh's table.

Lin Ke took a bite of the bread, the aroma of butter spread in his mouth, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ah! How wonderful it is to have no war!

There is no need to open the civilization panel every minute, no need to review military newspapers and command subordinates overnight.

I don’t know when being able to have a peaceful breakfast like this became a luxury!

He was just about to take another sip of honey milk when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the bedroom.

Three servants almost stumbled in, their faces full of panic.

One of the older servants knelt down first. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the eyes of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, you...you should go outside and take a look!"

Another young attendant followed closely behind, with his hands on the ground and his forehead touching the ground: "Holy... Holy Pharaoh! Please go and have a look!"

The third servant couldn't even finish his words. He just knelt there, breathing heavily, with a look of panic in his eyes.

Lin Ke frowned and gently put down the golden cup in his hand. The aroma of honey and milk still lingered on his tongue.

The servants' appearance made his heart tighten.

What's wrong with them?

His first reaction was to open the civilization panel.

He took a quick glance and saw that the border of Holy Egypt was calm, with no red dots of Hebrew or Greek civilization flashing.

There was not even a single bit of information about enemy forces around Cairo.

He thought that these old rivals were invading again, but instead of any alarm on the panel, it showed that the loyalty of all cities had increased significantly.

Even the loyalty of Cairo city jumped from 85 to 95, and other border cities also increased by 5 to 10 points.

Lin Ke was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the three servants lying on the ground.

Since there is no external threat, why are these three guys in such a panic?

Just as he was about to take a closer look at the data on the panel, he heard hurried footsteps outside the bedroom.

Another young attendant almost stumbled in and knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, Holy Pharaoh, please go out and take a look!"

"The adults outside really don't know how to deal with this!"

Lin Ke put down the cup completely and stood up: "What happened outside?"

"You are in a hurry and can't speak clearly."

He glanced at the servants and saw that they all looked pale and had sweat on their foreheads. It was obviously not a trivial matter.

He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, get up. Go ahead and lead the way."

The servants quickly stood up, bowed their heads and led the way.

Lin Ke took a step forward and walked out of the bedroom with a little confusion and curiosity.

When Lin Ke arrived at the palace hall, he saw several ministers already waiting there.

They all looked anxious, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

When they saw Lin Ke, they all bowed to the ground immediately.

An elderly minister spoke first: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! Today, the situation in the capital is in chaos. I am at a loss, so I have come to ask for your advice."

Another minister added: "Your Majesty, the crowds of people inside and outside Cairo are surging. We have never seen such a scene before!"

"We are afraid something unexpected may happen. We beg His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh to order the maintenance of order in the capital!"

Lin Ke stood in the middle of the hall, his expression unchanged.

"Don't worry, tell me in detail."

The elder minister raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and then respectfully replied, "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! After you opened the three 'miracles', countless people came."

"Outside the city gates, the people and foreigners are crowded together, and the roads are difficult to pass. We are worried that if this grand event gets out of control, it may damage the majesty of Holy Egypt."

Another minister bowed his head and echoed: "Your Majesty, when we see this influx of people, we really don't know how to deal with it."

"There has never been so many people gathered in Cairo. I am afraid that order in the city will be difficult to maintain. I beg His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh to order the army to maintain order!"

Although their voices were respectful, they could not hide their worry and they were obviously frightened by this unprecedented scene.

After hearing this, Lin Ke thought about it for a moment.

He originally thought that the Hebrews or Greeks took the opportunity to invade, but the so-called "chaos" was just that the grandeur of the exhibition exceeded the ministers' imagination.

He waved his hand and said calmly, "Don't panic. The name of yesterday's 'miracle' has spread throughout Holy Egypt. This is normal."

"'Miracle' is the light of my Holy Egypt. After it is opened, my people and foreigners will come here to admire its reputation. This can show the strength of my Holy Egypt."

"It's just that you have never seen such a scene before, so be at ease, there is no need to worry too much about this matter."

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment, and another minister bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is wise! We are listening to your advice!"

"However, given the huge crowds this time, I still suggest that Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh go and take a look in person to reassure the people!"

Another minister also cautiously echoed: "Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, I dare to say that if Your Majesty could personally attend such a grand event, it would surely show the power of Holy Egypt even more."

"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is invited to come."

Lin Ke nodded slightly. He knew very well that the ministers said so because they felt that he did not understand the actual situation.

But in fact, Lin Ke just saw on the civilization panel that many people gathered outside Cairo.

Could it be that the real situation is more than what is shown on the civilization panel?

"Okay, I'll go check it out."

The ministers immediately stood up, lowered their heads and followed Lin Ke with respectful steps.

He saw that the outside of the city gate was crowded with people, and the crowds were as dense as the dense foam formed on the shore of the Nile when the tide was high.

Not only are there the people of Holy Egypt, but there are also the allies of Holy Egypt.

Atlanteans and Amazon warrior women are also among them!

Their unique decorations make them stand out in the crowd.

These foreigners mixed together with the local people, and the noise and discussions were intertwined into one. From a distance, it really looked like a sea of ​​people.

Compared with the past, the number of people has indeed increased dramatically.

But if you look closely, you can see that there is still order in the chaos.

He turned around and looked at the ministers behind him who were very uneasy: "Don't worry, this is normal."

"Now is the time when the reputation of Holy Egypt is rising. Citizens and guests are coming here to admire its reputation. It is inevitable that the number of people will suddenly increase."

"Just don't send soldiers without permission. That will make everyone feel strange and cause unnecessary suspicion."

"Kamul is in charge of this matter. If you are really worried, go and ask him if he needs any help."

After hearing this, the expressions on the faces of several ministers gradually calmed down.

"Yes! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
