In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"Get up, stop crying. Since you're an adult, you should act like one. Let's just consider what happened an accident. I've never seen you cry and throw a tantrum before, is that alright?"

"Huh? My eyes don't hurt anymore, thank you. I didn't—cough cough cough! I am Nitocris, the Queen of Magic! I can do magic of this level without you. You mere mortals don't need to worry about me. That's disrespectful! Disrespectful!"

Oblivious to what was happening, Nitocris ignored Rowe's outstretched hand. Then, as she was getting up alone from the desert, she tripped and fell. After Rowe helped her up, she patted her bottom and glared at him fiercely.

Luo Wei stared: "..."

At this time, all you need to do is smile.

"Alright, alright! I appreciate the concern you just showed, but it's also true that you witnessed my loss of composure as the Pharaoh. Although I don't know why the Sphinx is with you, the punishment for offending the Pharaoh must continue! Let my summoned creatures teach you a lesson first!"

"Are we really going to fight?"

Luo Wei's expression showed some hesitation.

I never realized you were the type to start a fight at the drop of a hat!

This scene is frequently recorded in FGO.

It's exactly like the scene where several bipedal dragons suddenly appear.

However, Luo Wei really didn't want to fight her.

No reason.

Even if she wins, she'll definitely cry a lot, which would be a real problem.

He then pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something.

"Stop! Pharaoh Nitocris, do you want to prevent the worshippers of the Sun King from witnessing their idol?!"

Just as Nitocris took out a mirror, preparing to release some evil spirits, Rowe gripped his cane tightly and shouted sternly, "This is rudeness! This is arrogance! This is utter disrespect!!"

Extremely disrespectful! Extremely disrespectful! Extremely disrespectful!!

"The Sun King...?"

This powerful question successfully stunned Nitocris, and upon hearing the echoing voice, she immediately stopped her attack.

“That’s right! I’ve come to see the Sun King! I’ve long heard of the legendary King of Kings, the Golden Gong King, the Sun King. Moreover, I have some connection with him, and this Sphinx is the best proof of that!”

Loewe's question completely stunned Nitocris.

Especially when she saw how intimately Rowe could be with that Sphinx, which was clearly an elite breed, she actually believed what he said.

After all, only the Pharaoh could command a Sphinx of this caliber, and the man before him, Lovi, was certainly not the Pharaoh. Therefore, he must be someone with a connection to the Sun King, and probably the Sun King's most loyal follower.

"You've come to worship the Sun King?!"

"That's right! I've longed to see that magnificent pyramid, his 'boxer shorts, boxer shorts!!' and his cheerful laughter for so long. This is a rare opportunity, so I naturally have to go and see it for myself and witness his glory!"

"Radiance?!"

"Yes! I swear in the name of the sun that I have come here to see Ramses II! If I am lying, let Anubis punish me!"

"What devout believers! They actually swore an oath in the name of the sun and the underworld!"

"I acknowledge your piety!!"

Upon seeing Loewy's praise of Ramses II, Nitocris, the Sun King's number one lackey, gradually lost her ability to think, her eyes filled with fanaticism.

Just as praising King Arthur could bring you closer to the Knights of the Round Table, praising the Sun King would make Nitocris see you as one of the same ilk.

At this point, all Loewy needs to do is keep pacing Ramses II to gain Nitocris's trust and get her to point him in the right direction, and then he'll have succeeded.

Lo Wei was very satisfied with his plan.

After all, Nitocris is practically a carbon copy of Kyouko, so easy to fool.

It's definitely possible, absolutely possible!!

Although it's unknown how much longer it will take, Nitocris will definitely put her to the test, but by slowly building up her trust, we can surely find the location of the Great Composite Temple of Glory.

-

"—In conclusion, Your Majesty, I have brought this traveler, who has a connection with you, back to see you."

Luo Wei: "..."

Ramses II: "..."

They exchanged a glance, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

While the two remained silent, Nitocris continued to recount to Ramses II how she met Lovi.

For a moment, Luo Wei looked at Nitocris with a hint of pity, and at the same time felt a pang of guilt, after all, he had fooled another fool.

Ramses II, sitting on the throne, could no longer bear to look at the scene. He looked up at the sky and sighed, then covered his eyes with his hands.

"—Haha ...

In such an awkward moment, just let a loud laugh get through it.

Chapter 180 The atmosphere suddenly became lively!

A message carried by fallen leaves came from within that glorious and sacred pyramid...

"Haha ...

What a pleasant and melodious voice it was, though it seemed to be mixed with a bit of a headache, and... a forced smile.

At this moment, the Sun King was staring at Lovi without moving.

At this moment, Luo Wei also stared at him without moving.

The atmosphere between the two was particularly awkward.

Because he misjudged Nitocris's blind obedience when he arrived. Although his original plan was indeed to use her to find the Great Composite Temple of Radiance, however…

This effect seems to have gone too far unintentionally! Luo Wei never expected that Nitocris would not have put up any tests or trials at all, and that she would have brought him to the final boss so naturally.

The next moment, Lo Wei and the Sun King covered their faces together.

At the same time, he couldn't help but give himself a score for this infiltration: absolutely 99 points, he didn't give the last point because he was afraid of making himself arrogant.

If the Hassans, who had gone to great lengths to discover the Radiant Great Complex Temple, knew about this infiltration method and its speed, they would probably be tempted to commit suicide.

"Enough, Nitocris. Although I've noticed from our interactions that you can be a little slow on the uptake sometimes, to go to this extent today has truly broadened my horizons..."

Realizing he had laughed enough, Ramses II felt that continuing to laugh would make him look foolish. He then turned his gaze away from Rowe and looked at Nitocris, who was still giving a long and detailed presentation below.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty the Sun King! I sensed the traveler's sincerity and his unexpected understanding of you. I myself have received his kindness, and with the Sphinx by my side, I felt it necessary to bring him before you so that he may behold your great glory! The supreme radiance of the Pharaoh!!"

"Ugh……"

When Ramses II was mentioned, Nitocris, the already somewhat dim-witted pharaoh, became even more excited, responding like a devoted fan. Ozymandias, on the other hand, closed his eyes and sighed.

At this moment, Ramses II, the Sun King, was utterly speechless.

"Sure enough, when it comes to Yu, your already not-so-bright brain will do something even more foolish and unexpected. This isn't the first or second time, is it, Nitocris?"

"Don't you really realize what mistake you made?!"

"...Eh, eh? I am utterly sorry, Your Majesty the Sun King. It is indeed a grave sin of mine that my negligence led to the loss of contact with the fifty-odd Sphinxes you entrusted to me! So please punish me!"

Upon hearing Ramses II's words, Nitocris, who had been in high spirits, suddenly remembered something. Her expression changed abruptly. She thought that Ramses II was now holding her accountable for her negligence in letting the Sphinxes run away. She immediately became nervous, bowed, and knelt down to beg for his forgiveness.

"..."

Ramses II's head throbbed even more at this, especially when Nitocris knelt before him; Rowe could see his lips twitching uncontrollably.

Lovi could roughly guess the reason for what was happening. After all, Nitocris was, after all, an ancestor of Osmandis's great-grandmother, and a fellow Pharaoh, he was his predecessor.

Although Nitocris was a woman and her achievements were far less than those of Ramses II, she was still a pharaoh, and one who had made some merits but made no major mistakes. Therefore, Ramses II respected her quite a bit.

However, upon seeing his ancestor, Nitocris showed none of the dignity befitting a pharaoh. Leaving aside her inherently weak character, Ramses II truly couldn't bear the sight of her kneeling before him. Even though he had repeatedly told her not to perform such a grand gesture—that in this Egyptian territory, Nitocris was a pharaoh like himself, and therefore of equal status—she still knelt before him like a lackey, which deeply troubled him.

If a comparison must be made, then this abstract act is almost like Romulus, the founder of the Roman Empire, kneeling before Nero. This act of kneeling would make all the Roman emperors scream, which is why Ramses II was also very troubled by it.

"It's not because of this, think about it again!"

"Ah? Then...what is it because of? I'm so sorry, Pharaoh! Have I done something to cause you trouble again?"

Although she didn't know what she had done wrong, Nitocris apologized first, without even thinking of refuting it.

"...Ah, never mind, I'll just cut off your hands and put them in a jar. You really deserve some punishment for not even being able to see through something like this."

Seeing that Nitocris still didn't realize where she had gone wrong, Ramses II pondered, "That fellow over there has absolutely no respect or reverence for me, yet you brought him directly before me. What a fool!"

The Pharaoh on the throne shifted his posture and turned his gaze back to Rowe in the hall. Although it was true that Rowe had no respect for him, he could still see Rowe's extraordinary nature. The fact that Rowe could control his Sphinx was enough to pique his interest.

So...

Is he a relative of the pharaoh who has been forgotten by history? Is he someone qualified to succeed the pharaoh?

This is indeed somewhat interesting.

Ramses II had a vague feeling that the person Lovi who appeared before him might be related to the person he had been looking for all along.

"W-what?! You mean I was tricked! Does that mean I let in an outsider who has no respect for the Pharaoh?! This, this... how incredibly rude and disrespectful! I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Pharaoh... before you punish me, please allow me to make amends and expel this person who only possesses radiance..."

Realizing something was wrong, Nitocris abruptly turned to look at Rowe behind her, her eyes flashing with anger at being deceived. She had initially intended to feed Rowe directly to the Sphinx, but upon reflection, she realized he had indeed helped her; without him, she would still be eating sand in the desert. So…

If Rowe lied to her only to get to the desert city, she could forgive him.

I'm sorry.

Lovi was quite helpless about this. He hadn't expected that the effect would be so good that it would cause such a thing, and he didn't want to cause Nitocris any trouble.

"Ha, are you trying to take this opportunity to let this scoundrel, this fellow who offended the Pharaoh's majesty, go? Because of your pitiful kindness, and his goodwill towards you?"

Ramses II saw through Nitocris's little scheme at a glance and pointed it out without hesitation.

"No, no, no...that's not what I meant...? I'm sorry, Your Majesty!!"

Nitocris, whose thoughts had been seen through at a glance, hurriedly continued to kneel like a wronged secretary. Just as she was about to explain something, the Pharaoh, sitting on the throne, laughed with great pleasure when he saw that she had surprisingly shown her own opinions and thoughts.

"Shut up, Nitocris!"

"Even if he is a person without light, even if he has no reverence or worship for me, ignorance is not a capital offense, considering that he has been helpful to you. Since I am the king of kings, the omnipotent Pharaoh of the earth, with all things in my hands, I naturally have the magnanimity to do so! So then, fully appreciate my great achievements, and then worship me with heartfelt sincerity, Kuhahahahaha!!"

After Ramses II finished spouting a string of ridiculously childish nonsense without batting an eye, he let out another series of extremely tasteless laughs. Then, like a Sichuan opera face-changing act without removing beans, he abruptly dropped his unrestrained smile and looked down at Lovi with icy eyes.

"However, my majesty is only bestowed upon those who yearn for protection and glory. My eyes are meant to see all things in the world, but you... what is the matter? Though I can see through everything, I have not obtained a single piece of information about you. This is the first time I have ever seen such a situation. You who have no light, state your name. What is your true identity? And what is it that you have come here to visit me for?"

"Finally, the Egyptian comedy duo has stopped and we're getting down to business? That was quite an achievement..."
