That’s right, Lin Ke scanned the surrounding scene again and confirmed it again.
People were cheering for his gaze and didn't notice what Lin Ke was observing at all.
But Lin Ke could see it clearly.
Among the women standing around the square, there were quite a number of pregnant women.
Their bellies were bulging, some of them supported their waists, while others gently stroked their stomachs.
However, their faces were filled with happy smiles, and they cheered for the return of the Holy Pharaoh along with other people.
but......
What's going on with this number of pregnant women?!
He frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.
You know, he hadn't been away from Cairo for too long. How could so many people get pregnant at the same time in such a short period of time?
Why are there so many pregnant women in Cairo?
Does this mean that a wave of youth will come in the near future?
If so, what is the cause?
This question lingered in his mind, and then he looked at Kamul, who was kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes, and spoke softly.
"Kamul, I have something to ask you."
"I noticed that among the welcoming crowd today, there were many new mothers who were about to give birth."
"Isn't this just my imagination? Our Holy Egypt is about to add so many people?"
Kamul was stunned at first, he turned his head to look, and then a brighter smile appeared on his face.
"Ah! His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is truly observant and considerate of his subjects!"
"Indeed, during the time you were away from Holy Egypt, there was a gratifying phenomenon of rising fertility rates across all of Holy Egypt!"
When Malacia heard this, she also became happy.
"Is it because the army of Saint Pharaoh achieved a glorious victory?"
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh! I guess it's because Holy Egypt is becoming increasingly powerful that it's naturally more willing to reproduce."
"Everyone can now have enough to eat every day! Moreover, the grain production has increased significantly!"
"If this continues, the population of Holy Egypt will increase!"
Upon hearing this, Kamul nodded repeatedly.
"That's right! His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is renowned far and wide, the borders are stable, the people are prosperous, and naturally the population is thriving!"
"This is a sign of the prosperity of our Holy Egypt!"
When Nan Tong heard this, he couldn't help but agree.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed an auspicious sign!"
"Rumor has it that whenever a great pharaoh descends upon the world, there will be an influx of people to strengthen the foundation of the kingdom."
"Now that His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has returned triumphantly, the people will naturally follow the will of the gods and prosper!"
As soon as Nan Tong finished speaking, people began to celebrate.
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Then, similar words came like a tide. When Lin Ke heard these words, he just smiled indifferently and didn't say much.
However, he noticed that while everyone was enthusiastically discussing this "good omen", Ramses, who had been standing beside him, was unusually silent.
The God of the Desert and the Nile glanced sharply at the pregnant women, but he did not react.
But the next second, Ramses slightly turned sideways, approached Nan Tong, and seemed to say something to him.
Nan Tong's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he subconsciously clenched the hem of his robe with both hands.
Nan Tong exchanged a very brief glance with Ramses, then pretended to tidy up his boots, squatted down, and whispered a few words to a nearby royal guard.
After hearing this, the guard's expression also became serious. He immediately turned around and quietly left the crowd.
Lin Ke's perception was so sharp that none of this naturally escaped his eyes.
He moved quietly and moved closer to Nan Tong.
"The Great Sun Magician."
"If you notice anything unusual, you must not hide it from me."
Nan Tong quickly adjusted his expression, smiled and bowed.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
"I'm simply admiring the enthusiasm of my subjects! Seeing how much they love their great king brings me great joy!"
"After all, the greatest achievement of a wise ruler is to win the hearts and minds of the people."
Lin Ke smiled softly: "Really?"
He realized that Nan Tong didn't seem to want to explain here, so Lin Ke didn't ask any more questions.
At least, there was nothing abnormal on the civilization panel.
Now is the "Golden Age" of Holy Egypt.
Amidst deafening cheers, Lin Ke and his group crossed the square and entered the palace gate.
Inside and outside the palace, lights and decorations had already been hung, and the air was filled with a festive atmosphere.
As soon as Lin Ke stepped into the hall, the city lords, governors and military generals who had been waiting for a long time all knelt on the ground.
They shouted words like "Congratulations to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh on his triumphant return."
He nodded with satisfaction, motioned for everyone to stand up, then stood in front of the throne and began the customary reporting session.
A minister in a purple robe stepped forward and spoke in a loud voice.
"We congratulate the Holy Pharaoh on his triumphant return!"
"During His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh's absence, the country was stable, border defenses were strong, agricultural production was abundant, and commercial trade was prosperous."
"Especially after learning the news of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh's great victory, the people of Holy Egypt were even more jubilant and encouraged, and they all expressed their willingness to work even harder to repay His Majesty's virtue!"
Lin Ke nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
He touched the armrest of the throne, and the feeling was a little unfamiliar to him.
Afterwards, the heads of each department came forward in turn to report on their work.
Lin Ke listened carefully throughout the whole process, sometimes nodded in approval, and sometimes offered guiding opinions.
However, having just returned to Cairo, Lin Ke's words and deeds revealed the wisdom and decisiveness that a great ruler should have, which made everyone present admire him very much.
Even those who usually had complaints about the court's policies could not help but be impressed by the charm of the Holy Pharaoh on such occasions.
The report ceremony lasted for nearly two hours. As soon as the last general finished reporting on the defense deployment of the northwest border, a burst of praise rang out in the hall.
Just as everyone was about to enter the banquet, Kamul walked slowly up to Lin Ke and knelt down deeply.
Normally, Kamul rarely kneels on one knee in such public occasions. His action obviously indicates that he has something important to report.
"Your Majesty the Great Saint Pharaoh."
Kamil bowed his head humbly and said, "I, your humble servant, have something to report to you."
Lin Ke nodded: "Stand up, please speak."
Kamul continued, "While His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh was away from home, many foreign envoys arrived in Cairo, hoping to see His Majesty."
"They brought precious gifts and friendly greetings, expressing their respective countries' desire to develop friendly relations with Holy Egypt."
Kamul paused and looked up. "These envoys have been waiting in Cairo for many days, including some special envoys from major powers."
"I, your Majesty, would like to ask you to spare your precious time to personally meet with them, so as to demonstrate the importance that Holy Egypt attaches to international diplomacy."
