"That...that's the enemy?"
The magicians who had looked so excited and enthusiastic just now suddenly looked completely different.
"Are you telling the truth?"
The oldest wizard, the one who spoke very arrogantly, had a dazed look in his cloudy eyes.
The enthusiasm on his wrinkled face faded like the tide, replaced by an almost childlike confusion.
"We...what's wrong with us?"
The other mages murmured to themselves, their voices filled with confusion, as if they had just woken from a dream.
At this time, they no longer cared about the shaking of the ground, the rising ground, and the collapsed walls and buildings.
They just looked at Lin Ke with a look of pious respect.
"What......"
"What's wrong with these guys?"
When many guards of Holy Egypt saw this scene, they thought they had mental problems and were experiencing auditory hallucinations.
Their looks completely changed at this moment.
To the guards of Holy Egypt, these changes seemed as if they had been possessed by another spirit.
It was like someone had cleansed their souls.
No longer madness, no longer contempt, but a gaze that was almost pious, shocked, and even fearful.
It's like the disbelief of a traveler lost in the desert when he suddenly sees an oasis, or like the thrill of a person who has been swallowed by darkness for too long seeing the light for the first time.
"Oh... what did we just do?"
"We actually said such outrageous words."
A wizard looked down at his scarred hands, his fingertips trembling slightly, like an amnesiac who had just regained his memories.
As their tears fell to the ground with a slight "ticking" sound, they finally realized what they had just done.
Especially the old magician's voice, which was getting lower and lower.
Finally, it turned into a sob.
"We! How dare we be so treasonous to you!"
“We…we!”
Before he could finish his words, his hands trembled as he supported himself on the ground.
That was him bowing down to the Holy Pharaoh, and it was many magicians bowing down to the Holy Pharaoh.
"Stand up."
The next second, Lin Ke raised his hand.
With just such a simple action, all the mages' breathing stopped for a moment.
Their bodies leaned forward unconsciously, as if pulled by some invisible force, their eyes fixed on Lin Ke's every move.
It was as if it was not an order from a king but a pardon from God.
"We, His Holiness the Most Holy Pope."
The oldest wizard knelt down slowly, resting his forehead on the blood-stained ground, his voice hoarse.
"We...we deserve death..."
"Please forgive me, please forgive me!"
"forgive......"
The older wizard actually began to sob, and his companions knelt down as well.
Their voices were no longer arrogant or crazy, but more like confession to God.
Lin Ke just looked at them quietly, as if he was looking at a group of lost lambs who finally found their way home.
"What's going on..."
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh just opened his mouth, and these guys are actually?"
“Is this their conspiracy?”
The guards were almost frowning at this time. They couldn't understand why the pagan who had just spoken rudely to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh was now bowing down to Lin Ke.
They looked so pious, as if they were kneeling down to worship the “Great Red Dragon” as they called him.
At this time, Lin Ke just raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
In his consciousness, the civilization panel has already sent a message.
"Due to the influence of the messenger of [Holy Egypt], you are now the overlord of [Rose Society]!"
"The sovereign country of the Rose Society: Holy Egypt."
"Number of messengers: 3."
"【Rose Society】: Your religion automatically spreads to the edge of the continent and exerts religious pressure on all cities within the surrounding ten plots. (+4 religious pressure)"
"【Rose Society】: This city worships your civilization and respects you as the Pope."
The reason why these magicians of the Rose Order underwent drastic changes was because Lin Ke had sent [messengers] to the Holy City of the Rose Order.
The number of [envoys] he sent has exceeded that of the Hebrew Empire, and now, Holy Egypt has become the new [suzerain state].
Simply put, today, Holy Egypt is the object of the Rose Order's allegiance.
And Lin Ke has become the new "Pope".
That's why those magicians, as if they were reborn and their souls were cleansed, bowed down to Lin Ke.
"Your eyes have been blinded by the power of the devil."
"This is not your fault."
"Now, you can finally see the light again."
Lin Ke then slowly spread his arms and kept raising his voice.
It even drowned out the loud "boom" sound in the distance.
"What you once followed was nothing but a false illusion."
"And the true path to salvation has been revealed before you."
"Pledge your loyalty to me and let me cleanse you of all the sins you have committed."
As soon as Lin Ke finished speaking, the magicians began to sob.
They are crying and confessing.
"Ah - merciful Pope! You are willing to forgive us, forgive us humble believers who have committed heinous crimes..."
