"What are you doing?"
Lin Ke turned his head and saw two people kneeling on the ground, so he asked with some confusion.
However, his tone was calm, without any hint of blame. He was just purely curious as to why these two guys seemed so afraid of him.
Saul and the Pope did not stand up immediately; they just continued to kneel with their foreheads pressed against the ground.
This extremely respectful attitude is rare in countries outside of Holy Egypt, and even after hearing Lin Ke's words, they did not dare to move their bodies at all.
"Holy! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Saul finally spoke, but his voice was trembling.
"We! We let you down."
Lin Ke just raised his eyebrows slightly: "Disappointed? How can you say that?"
Then, he just gestured for the two of them to look up. He just felt that they were too scared of Lin Ke's visit.
"Okay, you don't have to be so reserved."
"I came here just to learn about the situation in Damascus and the enemy, and to attend the funeral of His Majesty Saladin. I have no other intentions."
The Pope slowly raised his head, but remained in a half-kneeling position.
"Your Majesty, Holy Pharaoh! We are truly horrified that you have condescended to do this!"
"After we arrived in Damascus, we first defeated a rebel force."
The Pope swallowed his saliva when he said this, while Lin Ke smiled and praised: "Isn't that great?"
"You have done a great job on this trip. I will reward you greatly upon your return to Holy Egypt."
Then the Pope simply continued speaking.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! However, the facts revealed today are truly unbelievable!"
"So, we didn't understand the situation and thought you were here because we didn't do our job well!"
"us......"
Lin Ke simply raised his hand, signaling the Pope to continue.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, we pursued the rebels today, but we couldn't find them!"
"We searched all nearby areas where they might be hiding, but we only found three bodies!"
"And the other party was lying on the ground in such a strange way... We are so incompetent that we couldn't even figure out the basic situation!"
"It is my incompetence! Please punish me, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
As he said this, he glanced secretly in the direction of Ramses from the corner of his eye.
Although he was wrapped in black veil, Ramses still had an aura that kept strangers away.
Obviously, they don't understand the current situation.
Especially when mentioning the corpses, the Pope's tone became noticeably more nervous.
It was impossible for Lin Ke not to notice this, so he just smiled slightly.
"Those rebels? Actually, Ramses and I have already eliminated them."
After hearing Lin Ke's words, the two people kneeling on the ground were stunned for a long time.
"What?!"
Then, they exclaimed at the same time, and immediately lowered their voices for fear of offending the honorable Holy Pharaoh.
"You mean... those corpses..."
Lin Ke just nodded: "Yes, I have some things to confirm, and I want to attend the funeral of His Majesty Saladin in a low-key manner, so I dealt with them privately."
"This battle is crucial to me and Holy Egypt. Of course, I know that if you go, you will definitely be able to complete it."
"It's just that I want to personally avenge my deceased friend, and there are some things I need to confirm."
"Oh, it seems I have caused you some trouble."
As soon as Lin Ke finished speaking, Saul and the Pope took a deep breath.
"No, no, no, how could it be troublesome!"
Saul and the Pope quickly denied it, but their faces were still tense.
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has indeed learned of the death of His Majesty Saladin..."
"It's just! It's just! You are of such a high and noble status, and now you are personally taking action, and doing it in such a secretive way!"
"We are really...really shocked!"
"That's all!"
The Pope nodded repeatedly: "Yes! If the country knew that you left Holy Egypt without a large group of guards, it would definitely cause an uproar!"
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, you left Holy Egypt, didn't you?"
Lin Ke waved his hand: "Don't worry about these, I have my own plans."
"I am more concerned about the funeral arrangements for His Majesty Saladin and the current situation in Damascus."
After hearing this, the two of them slowly relaxed a little and stood up carefully.
But their posture remained extremely respectful, and they wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads from time to time.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, regarding the funeral..."
Saul chose his words carefully. "Due to the influence of the rebels, the funeral has not yet taken place."
"But they have tentatively scheduled the funeral for tomorrow. They have invited us to represent Holy Egypt at the funeral of His Majesty Saladin."
Lin Ke nodded and thought for a while.
"Well, go and talk to Fadil and tell him that a friend of the Holy Egyptian, a minister, has come to attend the funeral and offer his condolences."
"Of course, you don't have to reveal my true identity."
The Pope hesitated and swallowed. "Your Majesty, Holy Pharaoh, is this... is this appropriate?"
"If other countries knew that His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh had made an incognito visit to Damascus..."
Lin Ke smiled and soothed him, "Don't worry."
"If we use conventional diplomatic methods, it will take too much time."
"You should also know that the Arabs can't wait that long."
"That would also be a blasphemy to their Majesty."
Saul finally plucked up the courage to look directly into Lin Ke's eyes.
"Yes! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, we obey your command!"
Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Just make sure we arrange enough guards for you!"
"Even if we don't reveal your identity, please allow us to protect your safety in secret."
Lin Ke thought about it and nodded: "Okay, but don't be too ostentatious."
The Pope immediately responded: "I understand! I understand!"
"We will select the most reliable personnel to protect your safety!"
Lin Ke nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good. Once you have dealt with these matters, we will discuss tomorrow's affairs in detail."
Saul quickly responded, "Of course! Of course! Holy Pharaoh!"
Saul and the Pope bowed respectfully and slowly left the room.
Before leaving, the Pope looked back at Lin Ke and La Meixinsi.
There was awe and curiosity in his eyes, but more of it was disbelief.
The Holy Pharaoh and God of Holy Egypt actually appeared in person in Damascus!
What this means, I am afraid even the other gods of Holy Egypt do not know.
"I never thought His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh would come here in person... Hurry, Saul, we need to quickly explain the current situation to His Majesty Fadhil."
"This minister from Holy Egypt also needs to attend the funeral of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
