"Excuse me, how many of you are?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man, dressed simply but neatly, and his demeanor showed a calmness that was different from that of ordinary people.
Lin Ke could sense a kind of steadiness in him at a glance, and he could roughly guess that this guy was not an ordinary person.
“It doesn’t matter who we are.”
"The important thing is, we're here to help Elisha."
"He is an important figure in the New Hebrew Empire and his safety must be ensured."
Of course, Nan Tong said this to show that he was indeed not an enemy, and also to tell everyone that Elisha was a very important person.
After all, David had already died in battle, and there was no benefit in concealing Elisha's identity.
He needs more protection.
"New Hebrew Empire?"
"So they are from our empire..."
He slowly stood up and walked towards Nan Tong, and his nervous expression immediately relaxed a lot.
"I was the president of Hebron College."
He walked towards Nan Tong, gently placed his palm on his chest, and bowed to show respect.
Nan Tong was stunned for a second, then gave the same response.
However, the principal immediately noticed the skin on the back of Nan Tong's hand.
Obviously, a man of this age cannot be a soldier.
"With all due respect, Your Excellency does not look like an ordinary soldier."
"Who are you?"
The principal hesitated for a moment. He could probably guess that the other party's identity was not simple.
Nan Tong hesitated for a moment, and finally just took a deep breath, pretending that he had to tell the other party his identity.
"I am a magician."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately burst into exclamations.
After all, many civilians here have only heard of this name in rumors.
Even within the city, magicians are a rare combat unit, and only a few people can see these powerful magic casters up close.
Not only that, in this era, magicians are not only a symbol of mysterious power, but also a manifestation of noble status.
Not to mention, in a place like Hebron, even magicians can hardly be seen.
Simply put, the reason why they have this view is like the difference in the treatment of bread between the capital of Holy Egypt and the border villages of Holy Egypt.
Bread is common in the royal capital, but on the border, it is a delicacy that only nobles can enjoy.
As a result, everyone immediately changed their attitude, and some even began to whisper about this "magic master".
"I see."
The principal bowed deeply.
"In that case, I'll tell you the truth."
"Elisha left last night. He said he was going to look for the Holy Egyptian army and knew a small path that would lead to them."
When Nan Tong heard this, his face turned pale.
He didn't even dare to look back into Lin Ke's eyes, but just continued to ask.
"When did it happen?"
“It was about after midnight,” the principal recalled.
"He said that Saint Egypt will definitely come to help."
"He also said that the Holy Pharaoh of Holy Egypt was a good man or something like that."
Hearing this, Nan Tong couldn't help but look at Lin Ke and found that the Holy Pharaoh had narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lin Ke knew very well that it was almost impossible for Elisha to go to find the Holy Egyptian Army because the army had already left Hebron long ago.
Today, they were almost reaching the fortress city, and there was no way Elisha would encounter any more Holy Egyptian soldiers.
Moreover, it is too risky for a child to cross the dangerous area alone.
"We all told him not to go."
"I don't know what that kid was thinking. He had to go."
"Tell me, he went to look for those holy Egyptians, the holy pharaohs, how could they be better than the magicians of our empire?"
"Outsiders are always outsiders, and they are not as good as our own people."
"Isn't that right, sir?"
A man who had mocked Elisha before said this, and upon hearing this, the principal stared at him seriously for a few seconds.
Then he closed his mouth, lowered his head and said no more.
"What else did he say?"
Lin Ke spoke for the first time, and the voice startled the principal.
That's because Lin Ke's voice sounded too majestic, not like a soldier or a magician.
The principal couldn't figure out who could make such a sound.
"Elisha said that the most important thing now is to survive and help more people survive."
"With our current strength, we are simply unable to compete with the enemy."
"We need outside help."
"Then he left."
Although the principal didn't finish his words, his meaning was clear.
Elisha knew his mission and left alone.
Even Nan Tong was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't imagine that these words came out of the mouth of a young boy.
So he turned his head and looked at Lin Ke.
Elisha was an excellent crown prince, no doubt about it.
But now, their clues were interrupted again.
"Did he leave alone?"
The succubus spoke at this time, her voice so gentle that it immediately attracted the attention of all the male creatures below.
"Is there anyone with him?"
The principal just shook his head, while the others raised their heads, trying to see clearly into the eyes of the woman who had just spoken.
"No."
"We tried to dissuade him, but Elisha was determined."
"He said he was familiar with the routes around Hebron and..."
The principal looked at the people around him and sighed, "He said he can't always rely on others for protection."
