"Oh! It's His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"It is our great honor that His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has come here!"
The Arab representative hurried forward and performed a standard desert tribal etiquette, touching his forehead to his chest and crossing his hands over his heart.
"Your feat of rebuilding Jerusalem will be recorded in the annals of history, and history will remember your greatness."
He stood up straight, his weathered eyes still bright and sharp.
In these eyes, Lin Ke saw a rare wisdom and tenacity.
Of course, at least this is true compared to representatives of other religions.
"The link created by Saint Pharaoh is a reflection of your extraordinary wisdom!"
"There are countless victims outside the city, starving. His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh did not stick to the traditional disaster relief methods, but set up such an ingenious mechanism!"
"The daily limit on the number of believers we can recruit not only controls the scale of our rescue efforts, but also enhances the sense of honor of the participants."
He stretched out his right hand and made a covering gesture: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh must have understood how bad the situation in the suburbs has been in the past few years."
"The wilderness outside Jerusalem was a lawless place, with bandits roaming the land, and countless families torn apart by plunder."
“The refugees are like rootless duckweed, drifting aimlessly and filled with despair.”
"Now, with the existence of Link Church, many people have gained basic survival guarantees and also found the meaning of life."
"They no longer beg for alms, but line up in neat rows, with aspirations and hopes, hoping to become loyal followers of the Holy Pharaoh."
“This transformation from chaos to order is invaluable.”
"What is even more admirable is that your Majesty's move will undoubtedly attract curious people from afar to visit. The name of Jerusalem will surely spread far and wide, attracting guests from all directions."
“For us foreigners who are preaching here, this is undoubtedly the greatest blessing.”
“Therefore, please allow me to once again express to Your Majesty, on behalf of all my Arab compatriots, my deepest gratitude.”
He bowed deeply, his forehead almost touching the ground, the desert tribes' way of showing the highest respect.
Lin Ke stood where he was, looking at the Arab representative who was speaking eloquently, his eyes flashing with admiration.
Nan Tong was standing on the right side of the Holy Pharaoh. At this moment, he couldn't help but take a step forward.
"Only extraordinary people can see so clearly."
Nan Tong sighed sincerely, with a tone full of admiration: "Most people can only see the superficial relief actions, but you can see through the far-reaching impact. Such vision and mind are admirable."
"The fact that you can see this clearly shows how big your vision is and how broad your perspective is."
Upon hearing this, the Arab representative smiled modestly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."
"I am only telling you what I have seen and heard. If we really want to talk about pattern and vision, I am afraid that all the wise men in the world combined cannot compare to Your Majesty the Saint Pharaoh."
Lin Ke listened to the conversation between the two, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He looked around, his eyes sweeping across the city walls that were being rebuilt, the cleared streets, the reopened shops, and finally falling on the busy crowd in the distance.
“I wonder what your overall impression of Jerusalem is now?”
"Are you used to everything?"
The Arab representative replied sincerely: "Oh! Very good, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"When we first arrived here, all we saw was ruins, and all we heard was crying and complaints."
“But after just a short time, what I saw was a completely different world.”
"The streets are clean, the markets are prosperous, and different religious sects coexist peacefully and respect each other. This kind of scene is rare even in my hometown."
"I often think that if my relatives in my hometown heard about this grand scene, they would surely be attracted by it. Perhaps soon, I will write a letter back to describe the scene to my family so that they can also come and witness this miracle with their own eyes."
His eyes sparkled with anticipation. At that moment, he was no longer a representative of a certain sect, but just an ordinary person who was full of hope for the future.
Some Arab people even excitedly expressed their approval in their mother tongue, their faces filled with anticipation for a new life and respect for the Holy Pharaoh.
Lin Ke listened to these heartfelt words with a smile, but after hearing the word "hometown", he seemed to be thinking about something.
After a moment of silence, he casually asked, "Who is the King Yi you mentioned last time?"
After hearing Lin Ke's words, the Arab representative's expression became noticeably more solemn, and his body stood straighter.
"Oh! He is one of the most outstanding leaders in our Desert Alliance!"
"His real name is Saladin."
When Lin Ke heard this, he was just stunned.
His expression changed slightly.
"Saladin?"
Repeated this strange yet familiar name.
The Arab representative nodded in confirmation, his eyes shining: "Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"He was not only proficient in martial arts, but also knowledgeable in astronomy, medicine and philosophy."
"More importantly, he is an upright and generous person. He is tolerant towards his enemies and extremely loyal to his friends."
At this point, the Arab representative's voice changed, and his expression was like when the soldiers of Holy Egypt talked about the Holy Pharaoh: "Saladin does not pursue luxury and power like other rulers. His palace is as simple as a scholar's home, and his diet is as light as a hermit's practice."
"However, it was this wise king who was not interested in fame and fortune, who was able to rally the strength of the entire Arab world in times of crisis and resist foreign invasion."
"Saladin often led the charge himself, and wherever his flag pointed, the enemy troops retreated."
"After the war, he never massacred prisoners. Instead, he treated them with courtesy and released the wounded and sick to go home. As a result, even the enemies were convinced by him."
"I think if His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh had not conquered Jerusalem first, Saladin would have certainly launched an attack on the Hebrew Empire a few years later."
“He’s been planning this for a long time.”
Nan Tong was listening with great interest at this time. In his opinion, this "Saladin" might very well become one of the powerful allies of Holy Egypt.
The Arab representative's tone also turned to emotion at this time.
"Some say Saladin is too kind to rule."
"But I would say that it is precisely because of his kindness that the chaotic desert tribes have been united and our culture has been able to continue and develop."
"Under his rule, Arabs have enjoyed the peace and dignity they deserve, which is what we cherish most."
Nan Tong nodded when he heard this: "Yes, I agree with you very much."
"So does our great Holy Pharaoh."
"Only a benevolent king can gain the loyal following of his soldiers."
The Arab representative also smiled and nodded heavily.
"Yes, that's right!"
And Lin Ke was repeating a name softly.
"Saladin...Saladin..."
His thoughts have already entered the civilization panel.
