"We will reach Cairo tomorrow."
"Take a short break."
The desert nights were cooling.
The moonlight was soft, shining on the sand dunes, and the air was dry and cold.
Travelers heading for Cairo stopped and sat around a small camel dung fire.
These were several different groups of travelers heading to Cairo, most of them coming from other cities or villages in Holy Egypt.
In addition to the people of Holy Egypt, there are also some outsiders who come here because of its reputation.
However, when those foreign travelers met the people of Holy Egypt, they always had a pleasant conversation with each other.
After all, Holy Egypt is now well-known on this continent, and everyone knows the story about the capital of Holy Egypt.
"I heard that there are many 'miracles' in Cairo?"
One of the outsiders asked another of the people of Holy Egypt.
"Yes! But I have never been to Cairo either."
"However, since the appearance of His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh, our lives have indeed become better and better."
"Take this natural disaster for example. If it had happened in the past, I would have starved to death by now."
"But now, even our city has [farmland] built by people sent by His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh!"
"So, this is the only way to get through this disaster safely!"
The holy Egyptian said this, his voice full of pride.
When the outsider heard this, he just shook his head slightly.
“That’s great.”
"Due to this natural disaster, the price of food in our area has skyrocketed. If we didn't still have some food at home, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to survive this disaster."
"Not only that, we also had food looting. It was for these reasons that I wanted to go to Holy Egypt to take a look."
The outsider said this, then looked at the people behind him who were already sleeping.
His family.
Then he continued to ask.
"I heard that Cairo is now able to accept people from different kingdoms, and even foreigners like me can find a job in the city to support my family."
"I wonder if this news is accurate?"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Egyptian patted his chest.
"Of course! I have a cousin who works in Cairo. He earns sixty German copper coins a day!"
When the outsider heard this, he looked envious: "Sixty German copper coins! I could only earn six German copper coins a day before!"
"Your cousin, right?"
Obviously, that made the outsider think that this was because the other party's cousin was a minor official or held some position.
These sixty German copper coins were already a considerable sum of money for him, but it was actually only what the other cousin earned in a day.
"My cousin is just an ordinary person, helping the caravan with some carrying work."
After hearing the other party's words, the outsider just exclaimed "Wow" and didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, a person not far from them slowly spoke.
"Well, if he says it's sixty German copper coins, do you believe it's sixty German copper coins?"
"If he said one hundred, wouldn't you also believe it was one hundred?"
When the man from Holy Egypt heard this, he just frowned and looked to the other side.
It was a group of about a dozen people, many of whom were wearing turbans.
Obviously, the other party is also a traveler, and most likely he is heading to Cairo.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Could it be that you are questioning whether what I said is false?"
The man from Holy Egypt stood up at this time, and the foreigner opposite him quickly stood up and tried to smooth things over.
"Although I met this friend on the road, he took care of me in every way, so I naturally trusted his words."
"But I see you are going to Cairo, too. Why are you saying that?"
"Saint Egypt is now famous. Who doesn't know it?"
"If not, why did you go to Cairo?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party laughed a few times.
"Of course, it's to confirm it."
"I've been to Cairo before, and the walls there were broken and the people were emaciated."
"It's just a larger city in the desert."
"What kind of miracle is this? How is it possible to feed everyone?"
"So, I want to go and see for myself what this Holy Egypt is like..."
Before the man could finish his words, another person shouted, "Shut up!"
Then, a man who looked older stood up and just apologized to the Holy Egyptian.
"We all came here because we heard about Holy Egypt."
"At the time this young brother was talking about, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh had not yet become king."
"That's why he has some prejudice against Holy Egypt, but we all came here because we heard about Cairo!"
After hearing what the other party said, the man from Holy Egypt just waved his hand and didn't bother with them anymore.
On the other side, the older man glared at the other person fiercely after sitting down.
Between them was a young man with a bruised face and nose. He just looked at the two men with a slightly puzzled expression.
"Uncle, haven't you been wanting to go to Cairo for a long time? Why are you questioning the people of Holy Egypt again?"
When the older man heard this, he just said calmly: "He is just like this, don't bother with him."
