Saul even thought that there might be something wrong with his ears.
He turned his head slowly, but he saw a similar expression on the Pope's face.
Obviously, what he just heard was reality.
That is a real situation that has already happened and cannot be changed.
His mouth opened slightly, but quickly closed again.
He remembered clearly that the reason he came here was because of the order of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh asked them to come here and act according to the orders of His Majesty Saladin.
Even in the eyes of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, His Majesty Saladin might not even send them out, but would only entertain them well in Damascus.
But the situation now is completely different.
Not only was Damascus captured by the rebels, but now even King Saladin is no longer alive.
This was no small, controllable variable for Saul and the Pope.
This variable may even affect the relationship between Holy Egypt and Arabia.
But what to do now?
Saul looked at the Pope beside him, and the Pope's breathing quickly became rapid.
The Pope's pupils trembled slightly. Obviously, he was also thinking about a solution.
"We often hear His Majesty Saladin mention Holy Egypt and His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"He said that His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is a very great monarch with great foresight and wisdom!"
"However, our two countries still have the opportunity to enhance exchanges. Even His Majesty Saladin left Holy Egypt without being able to personally visit it..."
Fadhil's tone was sorrowful. When he raised his head again and met Saul and the Pope's eyes, they saw Fadhil's haggard face.
At least, they could clearly see that he seemed to be forcing himself to complete many stressful tasks.
"But! Now! Now!"
"You're here!"
"When Damascus was in dire straits! The brothers from Holy Egypt, as my brother mentioned, came here to lend us a helping hand!"
"Oh—Lord Saul, right now, no words can describe how I feel!"
"You! Are our brother! Holy Egypt, are our brother!"
"Thank you to the great Saint Pharaoh, and thank you to our great Majesty Saladin!"
“It’s because of them that we can meet again!”
As Fadhil spoke, the tears in his eyes were filled with the light of the flickering torches.
He stood up and bowed deeply to Saul again.
"Please allow me to express my gratitude to you again!"
"Your arrival soon saved us, saved Damascus, and saved Arabia!"
"He also saved our great Majesty Saladin!"
"If we are killed, His Majesty Saladin's body will be dug up, and his head might even be hung on the city wall!"
"oh--"
"oh!"
"Sir Saul!"
Fadhil now held Saul's hands tightly.
Now, not only were his eyes twitching, but his lips and body muscles were also trembling as if he had been electrocuted.
He even suddenly fell forward and leaned directly on Saul.
Seeing Fadil's expression, the ministers and generals behind him finally smiled with relief. They quickly came to the rescue and jokingly said, "My Lords of Holy Egypt! My brothers and sisters!"
"Please don't mind, His Majesty Fadhil must be too happy!"
"Your Majesty Fadhil!"
Saul was smaller in stature, and Fadhil was almost one and a half times his height.
So, facing Fadhil's "hug", Saul seemed a little overwhelmed and was even about to lose his balance.
Of course, after hearing the five words "His Majesty Fadhil", Saul and the Pope also widened their eyes slightly.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty Fadhil."
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has told us that Arabia is a friend of Holy Egypt."
"So, this is just friends helping each other..."
Saul unconsciously took half a step back, but he found that Fadhil's weight seemed to have increased a lot immediately.
Then he realized something was wrong.
"Your Majesty Fadhil?"
"Your Majesty Fadhil!"
Sure enough, Fadhil fainted.
As Saul supported his arm, he was almost knocked to the ground by Fadhil's weight.
"Your Majesty Fadhil!?"
“Your Majesty Fadhil!!”
The Arab ministers and generals immediately surrounded them and said, "Come here! Come here!"
"Bring His Majesty Fadhil back to the castle!"
......
Early the next day, Saul and the Arabs had fully understood the current situation in Arabia.
Then, Saul and the Pope came to the highest point of the castle alone. They looked at the smoke still rising in the distance and did not speak for a while.
Finally, Saul broke the silence.
"His Holiness the Pope."
When Saul spoke, he looked back first, and after confirming that there was no one around, he continued speaking.
"The situation has changed drastically now. His Majesty Saladin is no longer alive."
"What...should we do now?"
"You know, the mission entrusted to us by His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is to help His Majesty Saladin resolve the rebellion."
"But now that His Majesty Saladin is no longer with us, who should we obey? Should we find a way to inform His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh?"
It was obvious that Saul was simply overwhelmed by all this suddenness.
Of course, Saul had never experienced any of these things, so it was understandable.
But in the Pope's view, this is an opportunity to further train Saul.
The mission assigned to him by the Holy Pharaoh was quite different from Saul's mission.
In addition to ensuring Saul's safety, helping and assisting Saul, his biggest task was to promote Saul's growth.
Simply put, it is to train a powerful and independent great magician like Nan Tong for His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh in the future.
Therefore, asking for help from His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh would deviate from His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh's purpose.
The Pope took a deep breath at this moment.
"Saul, we are here to represent the civilization of Holy Egypt."
"We naturally need to inform His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh of the situation here, but this trip back and forth will take a lot of time."
"And Fadhil is the brother of His Majesty Saladin."
"Privately, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has reasons to help Fadil. Publicly, helping Arabia will help maintain stability in the border areas of Holy Egypt."
"Why don't you think about it? If it were His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, what would he do now?"
Saul took a deep breath at this time and just raised his eyes high.
"It is the words of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh..."
