"Lord Kamul."
"Did anything unusual happen just now?"
"I sensed a surge of magical power."
His weathered face showed a hint of doubt, and he stopped when he saw Kamul.
Kamul bowed to the other party and said, "Master Nantong."
Kamul turned around, his eyes met Nantong's, and he motioned for Remheb to stand aside first.
He nodded and said, "Lord Nantong, you came at the right time. I was just about to take Remheb to the palace."
"Your inference is very accurate."
Seeing Kamul speaking in a low voice, Nan Tong frowned slightly, realizing that something seemed to be wrong.
So, he stepped forward and said, "Lord Kamul, I was just training the magicians of Holy Egypt."
"First, there was a slightly abnormal magical fluctuation coming from the palace."
"Of course, that's where His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh is. I didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh is very busy today and has to meet with many foreign envoys."
"But not long after, I sensed a stronger wave coming, more obvious than the previous one."
He paused, then lowered his voice: "And... could it be that the God of the Desert and the Nile took action just now?"
After hearing this, Kamul's face darkened slightly. He nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, it was the God of the Desert and the Nile who took action."
"Just now, a few holy Egyptians ran towards the Nubian trade officer outside the Prime Minister's Palace."
"I wanted the guards to stop them, but suddenly there was a flash of golden light and they disappeared."
"There's some blood on the ground. These guys must be dead."
"No one can do this except the God of the Desert and the Nile."
Nan Tong narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.
"Two waves of magic, one in the palace and one in the prime minister's residence."
"Such a thing has happened in the capital of Holy Egypt."
The two old ministers looked at each other, and they understood each other tacitly.
Kamul nodded and took a deep breath: "Those assassins just now had clear targets."
"If we succeed, the trade alliance that Saint Pharaoh has worked so hard to build will collapse."
"It may even lead to a war."
Nan Tong looked at Kamul and whispered, "From this point of view, His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh should have known about the dangerous situation in the city."
"We have to hurry over before His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh calls us."
"No matter what, we must first ensure the safety of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"Then follow the orders of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
He paused and added, "I also brought a few disciples to patrol the area. If there is any movement again, they will report immediately."
Kamul nodded: "Okay, let's go quickly."
He turned and walked towards the palace, with Nan Tong following closely behind him.
Remheb followed at the end, still holding the papyrus in his hand, and his steps seemed a little flustered.
The three of them walked through the street outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the people on the roadside were still talking about which "miracle" was the most impressive.
No one has noticed what happened in the city just now.
As soon as Nan Tong and Kamul stepped into the palace hall, they saw the figure of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
Next to him was the god of the desert and the Nile.
The God of the Desert and the Nile was wrapped in a grey robe, through which hardly any golden light shone.
He looked like he had just come back from outside.
Lin Ke turned around and saw the two of them. His expressions were calm, as usual.
"Nantong, Kamul, you came at the right time."
"I was just about to ask someone to look for you."
At this time, Lin Ke first glanced at Kamul: "Kamul, did the Nubian trade officer find anything unusual?"
Lin Ke had already seen on the civilization panel that the other party had left Cairo City, but he still wanted to confirm it again.
Kamul stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, they didn't notice anything unusual and have left the city safely."
"Something went wrong when the Prime Minister was outside just now. Fortunately, the God of the Desert and the Nile acted quickly."
"I have explained this to the trade officials, and they have no suspicions. We have successfully established preliminary trade cooperation with them."
Lin Ke nodded and looked at the two old ministers.
Obviously, they already know the current situation.
So Lin Ke didn't explain any more.
"In this incident, I'm afraid some civilians in Holy Egypt have been brainwashed."
“Things are much more difficult than before.”
Nan Tong and Kamul looked at each other when they heard Lin Ke's words.
Their faces were full of confusion, as if they didn't understand something.
So, Nan Tong frowned and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, brainwashing is..."
Kamul nodded slightly, his voice somewhat puzzled: "Is it like a mummy, crushing the brain and taking it out to wash it?"
"But this... is not something that only the royal family like you, Saint Pharaoh, can do..."
Lin Ke was stunned.
oh!
These Egyptians did not have the concept of "brainwashing". They associated "brainwashing" with mummification.
So, Lin Ke waved his hand: "That's not what I meant."
"Brainwashing doesn't mean you actually wash your brain. It means someone uses words or other methods to change people's views and perceptions, making them believe something that's false."
"It's like someone told them I'm not the real pharaoh, I'm a usurper."
“Then, they believed it.”
