Fufu patted the little ball of flesh happily and jumped up excitedly.
"Wow! That's pretty good. I suffered terribly in the sandstorm just now. I was covered in sand from head to toe. It was maddening."
Mordred couldn't help but complain; she was indeed covered in dirt.
La Er looked at Xiao Mo and narrowed his eyes.
He carefully examined the blonde knight girl, pondered for a moment, and then asked.
"Wait a minute, the one I just rejected looks very familiar. Upon closer inspection, he seems to bear some resemblance to the Lion King. May I ask you, could you possibly be... a descendant of the Knight King?"
"Huh? Yeah, what's wrong?"
Xiao Mo raised an eyebrow: "You don't think I'm a knight from the Holy City, do you? To tell you the truth, I came to this singularity today with the goal of killing my father."
"Whoa~~ The rebellious knight has chosen to rebel again?"
With great interest, La Er pinched his chin, crossed his legs, and made his judgment.
"Take back your inappropriate remarks, Sun King."
Just as Rai II was making his judgment, a bright blue screen suddenly appeared in front of him.
The face of the aloof girl with dark blonde hair was clearly visible inside.
Seeing Blackie suddenly interrupt, the Sun King became even more interested: "Who are you...?"
"Artoria Pendragon, the Tyrant Knight King".
"In fact, this is not a case of a rebellious son, but rather the foolish son of the Lion King who, despite being the King of Knights, has become a puppet of the Holy Lance. This is an insult and a betrayal of the name of the King of Knights."
"As a tyrannical king, I absolutely cannot allow such an act that would bring shame upon Britain to occur."
Blackie despised the Lion King from the bottom of his heart.
The other party, being human and the King of Britain, had his heart corrupted and assimilated by the decay of Rungomminia... What a disgrace, how utterly despicable!
Therefore, Blackie harbored some dissatisfaction.
"Speaking of which...didn't I just hear you refer to the rebellious knight as a traitorous son...? Does this mean you've already acknowledged Mordred's legitimacy...?"
"I didn't say that. Sun King, are you out of your mind because your head was cut off?"
"Shut up. That was just a momentary lapse in judgment. Don't mention it again."
This gave Ramses II a general understanding of the situation in Chaldea and the degree of distortion in the Holy City.
To be honest, although on the surface he and the Lion King seemed to be evenly matched, in reality he could only manage to be evenly matched and could not resolve the Lion King's destructive behavior.
"One last question, King of Knights. As its owner, you should understand the true purpose of the Holy Lance, shouldn't you?"
"Yes, of course. It is the anchor of the storm at the end of the world, the pillar of light anchored on the surface of the world."
"Now that you understand, there's no need for further words. Go and witness the Holy Judgment! Words alone are insufficient to describe it. You will have the opportunity to visit Jerusalem and see for yourselves."
"Jerusalem...that is, the Holy City. What happened?"
Dr. Roman quickly asked.
"Yes, Jerusalem simply disappeared, and in its place was a chalk city."
"Ah... I see, it's gone... What, Jerusalem is gone?!"
Dr. Roman suddenly let out a strange cry.
This was the second blow he suffered today: he had just recovered from the shock of discovering that Magical Merlin was actually Merlin, and then he found that his hometown was gone.
That's Jerusalem!
The sacred city that has stood the test of time despite being occupied by many civilizations, the home of Dr. Roman, and the former site of the Temple of Solomon and the City of David on Mount Zion, has vanished in all its glory.
"Our tests confirm that the magic concentration in the Canaan region of the Crescent Fertile Land is indeed problematic and does not conform to the main characteristics of the 13th century."
Munir quickly added.
"What should I do? I'd better ask Magical Merry right away."
Dr. Roman quickly typed a few lines in the live stream.
Are you Merlin?
【That's not it, dear... I'm the cute and adorable, magically gifted Merry-chan!】
"I told you Merlin wasn't Merly."
Dr. Roman immediately felt relieved, and a smile spread across his face. Then, he looked around and said blankly, "Wh...why is everyone looking at me like that?"
"How pitiful."
"That's really pitiful..."
The Chaldea staff all looked at Dr. Roman with pity in their eyes.
Roman: I'm not pitiful at all!
The Sun King's territory was the only paradise in this era, but... it's unknown how long his kingdom can last.
The lack of food and water is secondary.
The scariest thing is having no future.
For humankind, such a world is simply too painful.
After spending about two days in Osmandiaz's territory, the energetic Fujimaru Ritsuka and her group set off again.
Before leaving, he gave Fujimaru Ritsuka a large amount of supplies, but... well, for Fujimaru Ritsuka who can use the illusion manifestation technique, these things are not really useful.
What Fujimaru Ritsuka truly wants is...
"What?! You fool, how dare you covet my Sphinx?!"
Ramses II's expression was incredibly complex, and he even looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a hint of disbelief.
Even if they came to save the world, is it really possible that someone would go to such an extreme degree?
"Senior...aren't we going a bit too far?"
"What does it matter, Mashu? You know... the environment here is terrible, and it's really tough not having a means of transportation."
Fujimaru Ritsuka said very seriously, "We might even lose our way."
After listening to her senior's advice, Mashu thought for a moment and then nodded her little head.
“Yes, I can understand that. But, senior... the Sphinx is, after all, the Pharaoh’s sacred beast. Isn’t it a bit too much for us to ask for it like this?”
"But wouldn't it be even worse to steal it?"
"Eh~~"
Fujimaru Ritsuka said half-jokingly, "Well, actually I just wanted to try and see if I could get a Sphinx for transportation."
"Great...great disrespect! The Pharaoh's Sand Sphinx is a top-tier mythical creature. You have no right or qualification to lay a finger on it. Stop your disrespectful remarks now! The King may forgive you!"
Nitocris was immediately frightened.
Even she didn't dare to ask Rashomon for the Sphinx in person, so for Fujimaru Ritsuka, an outsider, to say that was simply too much.
"Calm down, Pharaoh Nitocris. I will not consider this a offense, but it is not my people who are asking me for the sacred beast... I cannot agree to this."
"That's it..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded: "Then let's forget about it."
"Wait a minute, don't be discouraged yet. I won't bestow upon you powerful divine beasts capable of fighting, but there will be plenty of alternatives for transportation. Sphinxes grow relatively slowly, and even the cubs now will not become combatants in the future."
"Nitocris, bring me an immature Star Sphinx. Even if it's not fully mature, it should be sufficient for transportation. Accept it with gratitude. May this sacred beast of Egypt carry you to see the truth of this chaotic world."
The Sun King was not angry; instead, he spoke with unprecedented magnanimity.
"king...?"
Nitocris was shocked.
No, you're really giving it to me?!
Fujimaru Ritsuka was also surprised. This seemingly arrogant king was actually quite something!
Are all Egyptians this easy to talk to?
Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked, looking at the Sun King with a slight smile on his lips, and suddenly seemed to understand.
Riding a Sphinx to the Holy City—the implications are self-evident.
It seems the other side already has plans to tie us to their war machine.
That doesn't matter. The Sun King himself was a magnanimous pharaoh, which can be seen from all aspects.
Egypt and the Lion King are in a state of hostility, but for the time being, they are not fighting each other and are in a state of non-aggression.
The mountain people, however, could not avoid the 7 deaths and 4 (nine) of the land, which became Poland's ecological niche.
The greatest crisis now is faced by humans and mountain dwellers living in this era; the principles of humanity have essentially collapsed.
If Osman Diaz were still the Sun King who wanted to save the world during the Holy Grail War, he would definitely have the idea of saving the world.
The reason for the stalemate is simply that he is unable to defeat the Lion King.
He undoubtedly possesses the Holy Grail, but he is not the culprit behind this singularity. As the noble King of Kings, he would not use such a useless object to cause trouble, as that would be too detrimental to the Sun King's prestige.
Soon.
Nitocris appeared in the Great Temple leading a Sphinx that was slightly taller than a person and whose face shimmered with starlight.
The little guy was half a head shorter than the adult, its fur looked like crushed stars, and it shook its little head somewhat uneasily, looking around.
Fujimaru Ritsuka stretched out her hand, and instantly... an aura of divine nature was released, the mystery of that natural spirit instantly suppressing the restlessness of the legendary top-tier fantasy species.
Although it is a top-tier fantasy species, it is still one rank lower than the True Ancestor Royal Family.
Princess: Oh my, it's a Sphinx!
This is the first time I've ever seen a Sphinx.
Princess was suddenly forced out of Fujimaru Ritsuka's mental world.
"Let me try, I'll touch it."
"Oh..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka logged off in a daze, and then Princess logged in.
His scarlet eyes flickered.
The princess suddenly logged on, causing a subtle change in the environment of the entire temple.
Osman Diaz originally felt that he could still control the Great Temple, but with the sudden arrival of the princess, he also felt a strange and powerful suppressive force.
All gods possess the touch of stars, and Ramses II naturally has some of this ability as well, even able to sense the radiance emanating from the other being equal to or even surpassing that of the Holy Sword Wielder.
【Star Spirit...】
The Sphinx lowered its head voluntarily.
The princess stretched out her snow-white hand and gently stroked the Sphinx's forehead, feeling the soft, star-like downy fur.
"Yoshi yoshi, so cute! What's your name?"
Such a large sacred beast is actually called cute, but in the princess's eyes, that's certainly true.
"It doesn't have a name yet."
Nitocris never imagined that the Sphinx could have a name.
"Is that so? It's really pitiful not to have a name."
"You sparkle like the color of the starry sky, so why don't you be called Sparkle?"
The princess suddenly took a liking to the Sphinx and gave it a very cute name.
"Pikachu Pikachu [Sparkling], let's call you Pikachu [Sparkling]! Hmm, a great name, I'm such a naming genius!"
Although I don't know what happened, I feel like some unrelated person was offended.
In short, this semi-juvenile Sphinx will be named Sparkle!
This is the name chosen by the princess, and it absolutely cannot be changed!
It's okay, if anyone objects, just chop off their elbow.
