Lin Ke looked at Malacia's appearance and knew that she was at a loss for what to do at this moment.
Of course, the reason why Lin Ke did this was because he wanted to train Malacia more in this aspect.
In his opinion, Marasia is a person with leadership and the ability to unite people, but Marasia does not seem to be so experienced in handling some things.
On the contrary, sometimes she would even act like a new recruit on the battlefield, just like now, she was looking at Lin Ke with a helpless look, asking for help.
Just as Lin Ke was about to step forward, he saw someone walking towards Malacia.
It is the past of Atlantis, Arthas.
Seeing that Marasia looked troubled, King Arthas of Atlantis slowly stepped forward, ready to rescue her.
There was a gleam of wisdom in Arthas's unique blue eyes, and his every move showed the calm and elegance of a sea overlord.
His actions did arouse some interest in Lin Ke. He also wanted to see what advice Arthas could come up with when faced with this situation.
Arthas spoke in a tone that was neither hurried nor slow.
“Dear devout pilgrims, I understand that you cherish your respective faiths, and I also know that the importance of the holy places is irreplaceable.”
Then, Arthas looked around, making sure everyone's attention was focused on him.
Then, he continued to speak.
"But everyone should have a clear understanding of the difficulties we are facing now."
"Since all four parties have their own reasonable and firm claims, they are unable to compromise with each other."
"In that case, why not listen to my advice?"
When the representatives heard this, they looked puzzled, but they all nodded towards Arthas to show their approval.
Seeing that no one objected, Arthas smiled and unfolded a piece of parchment.
"According to the information I have, religious festivals and important worship days are different in all four directions."
“We can create a rotating schedule to ensure that every pilgrim can enter the holy site on their most important day.”
He handed the parchment to the representatives for inspection, and then continued speaking.
"Please see, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre can be used by Hebrew believers for the first three days of every month."
"The next three days will be spent on pilgrimage by our Arab friends from the desert."
"Then there are seven days for the rituals for the pilgrims from the East, and the final seven days for the faithful arriving from the South."
"This way, everyone can have their own dedicated time for worship."
Arthas said this, and Linke immediately understood Arthas's motives.
Obviously, this experienced king came up with a solution that was good for everyone.
In other words, he also wanted to make a decision that would satisfy everyone, just like Lin Ke.
In Lin Ke's view, this is a step forward for Alsace.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, Arthas's proposal is a good one."
"I think this is fair to all believers and will allow us to live in peace with the people of these small countries."
Nan Tong nodded in approval at Arthas' proposal, but Lin Ke's words surprised Nan Tong.
"His proposal is good, but it's not a perfect solution."
When Nan Tong heard this, he just looked confused. He looked at Lin Ke, as if wanting to get an answer from him.
But Lin Ke just raised one corner of his mouth slightly: "Just wait and see."
As expected, Alsace's proposal immediately aroused discussion.
Some people nodded in approval, but others immediately raised objections.
The first to express opposition was the Arab representative.
After reading the proposal, he almost immediately frowned and shook his head.
“No, we have an important Friday prayer day, which is a religious obligation that we cannot change.”
The Southern representative also added at this time.
"Our moon festival must be held on the night of the full moon, which may conflict with your proposed schedule."
The Oriental man in the dark robe seemed to have noticed the problem as well, and he also pointed it out immediately.
“More importantly, this mechanical division of time cannot guarantee the continued sanctity of the holy site.”
"Also, some of our schedules conflict and we all need to go to church at the same time on a given day."
The Hebrew representative's face was even more livid. He seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Arthas' proposal, but he did not dare to say it directly.
"If we agree to take turns, then the other three parties can monitor our activities during periods that are not their own, which in itself is a sacrilege."
At this time, Arthas patiently listened to opinions from all parties and constantly revised and improved their plans with Marasia.
He tried to arrange different religious festivals in correspondence to find the best balance possible.
But no matter how the adjustments are made, there will always be one or more groups raising new objections.
"Our Ramadan requires thirty consecutive days of nightly prayers!"
"The Spring Rebirth Festival is our most important festival and must last for nine days..."
"The winter solstice festival must last for three days and nights without rest..."
However, as the discussion deepened, the problem became more complicated.
Even Alsace's original plan had been modified beyond recognition into a complicated schedule.
These four religions alone have dozens of important festivals and daily rituals.
Finally, the old Hebrew man sighed first.
"That simply doesn't work. Our calendar is tied to the cycles of the moon, while theirs is based on the sun. This timing is bound to conflict."
The Arab also nodded.
"Yes, we just celebrated the Harvest Festival last week, and next week is the peak of another sect's pilgrimage."
"If we strictly follow the schedule, we will be forced to interrupt our celebrations to wait in line."
In the end, even a leader as patient and experienced as Arthas could not help but sigh.
He looked at the parchment in his hand that had been scribbled beyond recognition and shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that even a seemingly fair distribution of time cannot fairly divide the value of the holy land."
"What should I do?"
The representatives of the four religious orders looked at each other.
However, although they could all feel Arthas's helplessness, their eyes were still filled with hell when they looked at those pagans.
Their need to worship is so deeply rooted in their respective cultures that any compromise would seem like a betrayal of their beliefs.
Lin Ke observed all this quietly, and at this moment, he slowly took a few steps forward.
"Since everyone says this is a holy place, why not listen to my advice?"
