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

Osmandis laughed wildly, completely unconcerned. In his view, the battle was either a win or a loss, so it could be considered a 50/50 affair.

"Stop laughing. Osmandis, release them all. Be careful, or King Hassan might come back to kill you later."

Seeing the guy's smug look, Luo Wei couldn't help but remind him.

"Ahem... As the King of Kings, I am naturally not afraid even if that assassin comes back. However, since this is a request from my dear friend, I will certainly grant it. It's not that I'm afraid of him!"

Osmandis's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and threw his head back to laugh. He found Hundred-Faced Hassan's shouting and yelling as amusing as a clown on stage, which naturally brought him great pleasure. However, before he knew it, he suddenly heard a "crunch!" sound beside his ear, and his head rolled back to the ground at Rowe's feet.

It rolled around more than a dozen times.

Osmandis: "...My dearest friend helped me."

Reluctantly, Lo Wei put him back in his place. After regaining his body, Osmandis opened the iron cage.

Not only the two knights, but also Hassan the Hundred-Faced was released at Rowe's instruction.

Upon regaining their freedom, Bose and Gaheris went straight to Lovi and said with immense gratitude, "Thank you for rescuing the Saint!"

"No need for formalities. Kay and Percival are waiting for you at another base. The time to defeat the Lion King is coming soon. It's good to see that you are all safe and sound."

"Yes, we will definitely spare no effort!"

Lovi held the two men's hands, because Osmandis had struck them too hard, and the two had already lost their magic.

Meanwhile, Hassan of Baimao was reluctant to come out.

Luo Wei frowned and asked her, "Why don't you come out?"

“I don’t trust this despicable fellow, nor do I trust you. Moreover, I suspect you’ve done something to me, intending to use me to find the Mountain People’s stronghold and then wipe them out in one fell swoop. I can’t take that risk.”

"I am Hassan said without looking up," Bai Mao said.

Upon hearing this answer, Rowe was somewhat surprised by the guy's vigilance.

This guy may be a noob, but his skills as an assassin are far superior to Kyoko's; at least he can think of following the clues to find the source.

However, she did not expect that their base had already been wiped out in one fell swoop, just as he had said.

Lovi looked at Baimao Hassan and said, "Baimao, it's good to be vigilant and wise, but sometimes thinking too much will only blind you."

"Ha, what do you know? You're nothing but the Sun King's lackey, I... Aaaaaah!!!"

"How dare you insult my best friend! You're asking for death!!"

Before Bai Mao Hassan could finish speaking, Osmandis, who had just heard her insulting his best friend, couldn't hold back any longer and used electricity to give her a full-body massage.

In an instant, another life was lost for Baima Hassan.

After recovering, Bai Mao Hassan pursed his lips, turned his head away, and dared not continue to spout nonsense.

Seeing this, Luo Wei prepared to use the same trick again, suddenly changing his voice and whispering to her, "Bai Mao, what have you built with all that wisdom? A desire for a single righteous cause with a hundred souls fighting over it? Fool—hand over your head!!"

"Um?!!"

"Um!!!"

In an instant, Osmandis jumped up like a cat on conditioned reflex, while Bai Mao couldn't help but kneel down with a thud, and then said in a trembling voice.

"This...this is...the tone of the First Lord, what's wrong with you?"

"It sounds familiar, doesn't it? This is what Wang Hassan asked me to tell you."

Lo Wei was just spouting nonsense. Anyway, Wang Hassan didn't mind using the title directly, so he would just use whatever worked best for him.

No matter how tough these Hassans were, they would be terrified when they heard of King Hassan.

"How is this possible... the First Lord?"

"You dare to deny what happened to King Hassan? Bai Mao Hassan, you've got some nerve."

Lovi said in an icy tone, “My name is Musa, and I am your prophet. I have been to your village, and the only assassins left are Cursed Arm and Madman. King Hassan has granted me the authority to rule over you. If you do not believe me, you can go back and ask him yourself.”

"And the location of your holy site, Mount Mukebai, is—"

As Lovi calmly revealed the coordinates of the Mountain People's village, Hassan Hundred Faces finally resigned himself to his fate. He stepped out of the cage, bowed to Lovi, bid a low farewell, and then quickly disappeared with a "whoosh!"

The entire cage was instantly emptied.

Seeing this, Osmandis, who had just been startled, snapped his fingers and put the cage back. Then he looked at Lovi and said, "My dear friend, now that you have found your companion, you can stay in my territory and get some rest."

"No, I still have companions wandering outside. I have to go find her."

"I'm confused," said Lo Wei.

"Her? It seems you've lost quite a few companions..."

Osmandis nodded, but then burst into laughter. "But what's so difficult about that? You've probably already asked the mountain people to help you search, and now that Yu is here, we can definitely find it by searching together!"

Luo Wei smiled but remained silent.

Although he knew that Artoria and Chaldea would eventually find him, he didn't know how long it would take, and he couldn't just stay here doing nothing in the meantime.

He needs to go to the Atlas Academy. Kai and Percival are still in the Mountain Village. He also needs to check on the Lion King's progress to determine the best time to attack. He also needs to deal with the Lionheart King's demonic tide attack.

He's like a spinning top, constantly being whipped and unable to stop spinning.

"I see. Then I won't stop them."

Seeing that Lovi was determined to leave, Osmandis knew that he could not stop him.

However, seeing his best friend again was already an extremely happy thing for him, and...

He glanced at Pharaoh Nitocris, who looked dejected but hesitant to approach after hearing that Lovi was leaving.

Osmandis and Anubis behind him both looked disappointed and frustrated.

If you want to keep her, do it now. What is she hesitating about?

After much thought, since his own ancestor was unwilling to take the initiative, he decided to do it himself.

……

After the banquet ended, Nitocris was sent away by Ramses II under a flimsy pretext, taking the exhausted Bose and Gaheris to find a place to stay in the city.

After all, his temple is not a hotel; he would not allow anyone other than those he approves of or his closest friends to stay overnight.

Afterwards, only Lovi and Osmandis remained in the hall to continue discussing what to do next.

To be fair, compared to Mr. A-rank Jin, Ramses II is really reliable. Although Osmandis seems to be a delusional and silly person, how could he be a simple person if he could become Ramses II, who has achieved world-renowned great achievements?

He saw things more clearly than anyone else, for he truly saw the shadows of Moses and Nefertari in Rowe's soul, which explained his fervent enthusiasm. But things were more complex than that, for their shared goal was to defeat the Lion King and the ever-growing army of demons gathering outside. They were a perfect match, their mutual affection blossoming into a genuine alliance, becoming comrades and close friends in every sense of the word.

Osmandis even dared to have Loew sew his head back on with needle and thread, entrusting him with such an important task as sewing up his body.

Instead of using ordinary needles and thread, Luo Wei used a lot of his own blood to make thread and quickly sewed the head and body back together.

When Osmandis realized that the blood of the divine child had entered his body and repaired his wounds, and that he wouldn't lose his head even if he turned his neck, he was overjoyed: "As expected of my dear friend, he really has a way!"

"It's nothing, just a little miracle."

"Alright, then my dear friend, please accompany me for a walk."

The two strolled around the pyramid together, and because they hadn't enjoyed the previous banquet enough, they asked the servants to set up a new table, and the two sat down facing each other.

They chatted about what happened afterward, the splendor of ancient Egypt, and even memories that Rowe didn't have. Especially when he said he might be Nefertari, Rowe almost got up from the table.

He wondered if the ancient Egyptian pharaohs were living under a prevalent meal replacement culture.

He felt helpless because every person he met reminded him of someone important in their past.

However, the topic quickly came to an end when Osmandis suddenly said something.

"Moses..."

"what happened?"

Osmandis pondered for a moment, then turned to Lovi and asked, "What do you think of Nitocris?"

'How about it?'

Without hesitation, Lovi replied, "She's great. She's smart and capable, and as a pharaoh, she can also rule the country benevolently. She's a very powerful queen."

But upon hearing this, Ramses II shook his head, his eyes carrying a different meaning: "That's not what I meant. What I wanted to ask you was what Nitocris was like."

"He is a very good person, and we can rely on each other as partners."

"So...do you like her?"

"Zhongyi... wait, why does your tone sound like you're trying to set us up?"

After thinking about it carefully, Luo Wei felt that Osmandis's words just now had a hidden meaning.

Ramses II gave a disdainful smile, as if he were dismissing Loewy's question.

"Oh, my dear friend, are you questioning me?"

"Although I don't want to hurt people like this... your actions have made me question things more than once, Osmandis."

"Haha, sorry, I made you worry, but there's absolutely no need for that this time, because I'm here to play matchmaker!"

"..."

Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, looking at him speechlessly. Osmandis still had a faint smile on his face, making it impossible to tell whether he was serious or just teasing him.

Let's just take it as a joke he made to get back at someone.

Ramses II, however, saw through his thoughts, and his smile deepened. He then said, "I am not joking, my dear friend. I have no objection to you changing the subject earlier, but you must give a definite answer to the question I posed."

"Did Nito ask you to ask this?"

After thinking for a moment, Lowe realized that he did indeed feel that Nito had some special feelings for him.

Upon hearing this, Osmandis laughed heartily and said, "How could she possibly ask someone for help with such a problem? Besides, given her personality, even if she really had feelings for you, she would probably keep them to herself. Her feelings for you are just an overlap with the beautiful memories of the past."

“I don’t have the habit of being a substitute for anyone, and I’m not really Moses, so I don’t want to deceive your feelings.”

Luo Wei's answer was decisive.

"I know."

Osmandis readily admitted it.

"Then why did you still..."

“I know that, and I admit that, and I like you, are not contradictory. I acknowledge that I see the shadow of my best friend in your soul; I choose you because you can understand me; I respect you because you are worthy of my respect; what is so hard to understand about that? In addition, you are so similar to my best friend, so why can't I regard you as his reincarnation?”

Ramses II said calmly.
