Or, why don’t you find another savior?

"It is more intuitive for you to witness the Holy Pull with your own eyes than to use words. Don't worry, the next Holy Pull will be in three days. All you have to do is wait for that day to come."

Chapter 1: Strategy Meeting at the Women's Bathhouse ()

The land of the Sun King.

Under the leadership of Nitocris, the Chaldean group, which had lost Shiomi Tenkei, went to the territory of the Sun King Ozymandias and learned an important fact.

The Holy Grail of this singularity has fallen into the hands of the Sun King, but he has no intention of using it. It was something he stole from the Crusaders who had previously fought for the holy city of Jerusalem here.

Therefore, he is not the culprit of this singularity.

But even so, he had no intention of forming an alliance with Chaldea.

The confrontation with the Lion King only brought about Ozymandias' attitude towards Chaldea as a friend. Until they figure out the situation of this singularity and bring back their captive companions, the Sun King will not form an alliance with Chaldea.

After that, before setting off, Nitocris invited the group to her large bath.

Their friends who had trekked across the desert.

As people of the desert, she and the Sun King both knew the hardships of long-distance travel, not to mention that they had just escaped from a fierce battle less than half a day ago.

Even if you want to set off, you need to eat and drink enough, and take a bath to cleanse yourself, so that you can continue your journey in the singularity more smoothly.

"...It's worthy of being the royal bathhouse of the 19th Dynasty. It feels very good." Scathach commented comfortably while soaking in the hot water.

"The bathhouse in the palace is pretty much the same no matter where you are." Morgan gently squeezed the water out of her long hair and put it on her head. "In my opinion, it's not as reassuring as the bathroom in Chaldea's personal room."

At this point, she added with a hint of meaning: "Although it has become difficult to reassure people recently."

Feeling Morgan's gaze, Scathach remained unmoved: "It was my fault for not taking good care of my beloved disciple and letting him leave the Shadow Kingdom. Originally, I was planning to keep him in the Shadow Kingdom forever."

"...Scathach..." Morgan's expression suddenly darkened.

At this time, Nitocris came over and interrupted the conversation between the two. She severely criticized them: "Really, don't quarrel in the big bath. The smell of gunpowder is so strong. It's a waste of Pharaoh Ozymandias's hospitality. It's too disrespectful."

"Don't worry about that. Since we are being treated like this, it goes without saying that we should be grateful." Morgan looked at the girls playing at the other end of the large bathtub.

Since they were all girls, bathing together meant more honesty and frankness. At first everyone was just chatting and laughing, but soon because of Kallen's "instigation", Ritsuka started a water fight with the director, dragging everyone else in.

"Thank you very much for allowing us to practice magic here," said Scathach.

"No, this is due to our lack of consideration. When we invited you here, we forgot the difference between the Age of Gods and the afterlife." Nitocris shook her head.

When the Sun King was summoned to this land, he brought with him the entire territory under his rule that symbolized the prosperity of Egypt.

In other words, the closer you are to the Sun King's territory, the closer you are to the air of the Age of Gods.

The territory is completely the Age of Gods.

The situation of Morgan, Scathach, and Mashu is easier to deal with, as they all have the functions of Servants in a certain sense, and therefore can naturally adapt to the atmosphere of the Age of Gods.

But the other girls are completely different, including Gray, who simply cannot withstand the extremely high concentration of True Aether in the Age of Gods.

So as soon as they stepped into the territory of the Sun King, Morgan and Scathach, realizing the problem, used runes to protect everyone.

"But I didn't expect you to use runes..." Scathach looked at Morgan with interest.

"My husband and I are both first-rate magicians, so we are naturally interested in different types of magic." Morgan looked a little proud. "Come to think of it, you should have seen my husband's clone magic."

"Of course. Originally, I wanted him to use it on certain occasions. Unfortunately, my beloved disciple is so stingy that he is unwilling to share even his clone." Scathach responded calmly.

"The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows is really shameless to be able to think of such a use." Morgan raised his eyebrows.

Nitocris realized that she shouldn't have come over. She had only come over to talk because she wanted to avoid being affected by the water fight.

Compared with the gunpowder smell here, the innocence and happiness of the girls over there seem extremely refreshing.

Besides... wasn't Morgan in human history... even more shameless?

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s say, let’s go?”

The bickering ended and Scathach got down to business.

Her voice echoed clearly in the bathhouse and everyone could hear it clearly.

"What else can I do? Of course, after resting here, I will go to the Holy City to welcome my husband—" Morgan said halfway as if it was a matter of course, and then shook his head, "Of course, this is just a joke. After becoming a prisoner, the contract with me was violated. My husband should be completely in the palm of the Lion King's hand now."

"But it is necessary to explore the Holy City. Even if we can't get close, observing it from a distance or from a high point may be very useful."

The girls all came closer, with Sakura speaking first.

"In that case, I suggest you set off tomorrow morning after you have rested." Nitocris provided a piece of information, "In the Lion King's city, a ceremony called 'Holy Ba' is held every once in a while to attract refugees who meet the requirements. Those who meet the requirements will be directly invited to become residents of that city."

"'Shengba'?"

This information caught Morgan's attention.

If this is true, "Saint Ba" might be a good opportunity to take a closer look at Camelot's situation.

Judging from the name of this ceremony, Morgan believes that both the Knights of the Round Table and the Knights of Justice under his command only exist to carry out the results.

Only the Lion King who can bestow "blessings" on the Knights of the Round Table can carry out the true process of this ritual.

"But with so many people approaching the Holy City, won't it attract too much attention?" Ritsuka expressed his concern. "After all, we don't look like subjects of the Sun King or natives of this singularity."

At this time, Kallen pushed Mashu's shoulder and stood up, "In this case, I have an idea. Ritsuka, Mashu and Gray will go with Sakura and head north from here to Atlas Court."

"Atlas Court?" Olga Marie suddenly remembered.

The Atlas Institute, one of the three major organizations of the Magic Association, is located in the Egyptian region and is indeed within the range of this singularity.

If we can get in touch with the Atlas Institute, we may be able to get more support.

"Can I hear your reasons?" Olga Marie asked immediately, "You specially brought Gray and Mashu with you instead of Madam Morgan or Master Scathach. There must be a special reason, right?"

"One of the reasons is Yad in Gray's hands," Karen said.

Chapter 2: Operational Meeting at the Women's Bathhouse ()

Grey's weapon and first friend, Yad.

It is actually a seal placed on the Shadow of the Holy Lance, and its name is taken from the last syllable of Longominyad.

The core of Yad is a replica of "Principle Reaction", one of the seven weapons of Atlas Academy.

However, it was actually the witch Morgan le Fay who completed the processing of Adler, and she took Kay, the knight least obsessed with King Arthur among the Knights of the Round Table, as the basis of his personality.

After explaining Yade's origins, Olga Marie, Ritsuka, and Mashu, the only ones who were unaware of the situation, understood the significance of this arrangement.

In fact, if this point were made, everyone would think that Morgan should go with them.

But only Morgan herself knew that she, who did not belong to this pan-human history, would be exposed when she came into contact with the Atlas Institute. She might even turn hostile because it involved the fundamentals of human nature.

It is better to have less trouble than more, so it is better not to do anything.

"——As for the second reason." Kallen looked at Mashu, "Until now, Mashu still doesn't know the real name of the Servant who lent her power. If we rely on the supercomputer of the Atlas Institute and search all the realm records in human history, we may be able to find the answer."

Since I don't know his real name, I can't unleash his full power.

At this moment, Morgan felt Scathach's eyes on him.

Different from the tit-for-tat looks she had just shown when they were jealous of each other, this time the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows showed a surprised expression.

As if to say "Why don't you speak out?"

Morgan was rarely embarrassed by Scathach's questioning gaze and looked away slightly.

As for why Morgan didn't say anything, the reason was actually very simple. She was similar to Leonardo da Vinci and was very disapproving of the experiments conducted by Chaldea.

Mashu was born from a test tube, born only for fighting. She is too innocent to even leave Chaldea and adapt to the outside air.

Morgan always had a sense of sympathy there.

She could understand Mashu very well that she had been forced to bear a mission since she was born.

But Morgan had thousands of years to fully digest and accept the mission.

Mashu's life may end in two years at most.

Therefore, even if he was willing to fight, Morgan did not intend to reveal the real name of the heroic spirit, so that Mashu would not stay at the front line, or stay in the back.

"Yes! This is also my personal wish." Mashu said seriously, "The battles in several singularities made me realize that I am not strong enough. If I could know my real name, I would be able to work better with my seniors, the director, and everyone else!"

“Mashu…” Olga Marie looked at Mashu with mixed feelings.

She once feared Mashu because of the inhumane treatment she received from Chaldea.

But Mashu never cared, and now can openly express the desire to fight together better.

"The reasons are very sufficient. Even if I exhaust all my wisdom, I can't come up with a more reasonable objection." Scathach agreed gently, "In this case, among the remaining people, Morgan and I will take Kallen and Mary to the Holy City-"

Having said that, she looked at Nitocris. The female pharaoh understood and grabbed the staff placed beside the bath, and a map of the singularity area appeared in front of everyone.

The Atlas Court is to the north of the Sun King's territory, while the Holy City is to the west.

"But how do we meet up?" Morgan looked at the two locations on the map.

Once they start to act separately, the distance between the two teams will become farther and farther, making it extremely difficult for them to meet up directly, and it is impossible to predict what accidents may occur in between.

She pointed to the large area between Atlas Court and the Holy City. "Do you know what's in this area, Nitocris?"

"They are probably the indigenous people of this singularity. After the Crusaders were destroyed, many of the locals who fought against them were also killed by the soldiers under the Lion King. Apart from the refugees scattered around, the only ones left are these mountain people living in seclusion in the mountains." Nitocris replied.

The Sun King said that if Chaldea needs information about the current situation of the singularity, we will try our best to provide it.

"People of the mountain..." Scathach murmured, "Oh...it is necessary to investigate there."

"Indeed, up to now, the only Servants we have come into contact with, besides the Knights of the Round Table, are the Sun King and Lady Nitocris." Sakura sat in the bathtub, "Based on the situations in the previous five singularities, there should be other summoned unmanned Servants here."

"There should be. For example, the Crusaders were the Magic King's original choice to control the Holy Grail, but they summoned the Sun King in an offensive way, so they were annihilated by the Sun King." Nitocris said, "In fact, before Jerusalem became Camelot, in addition to the Lion King's army, there were also pseudo-Crusaders led by Richard the Lionheart. The two sides fought over the ownership of that land, and the Lion King won."

What this means is that in addition to the pseudo-crusaders who were eliminated, there should be other servants who have not been eliminated and are secretly operating in this singularity.

"So the Sun King looks very tired, is it because after annihilating the Crusaders, he has been sitting on the throne to deal with the invasion of foreign enemies?" Ritsuka asked.

On the way to the audience, they saw the Sun King's head shifted twice in an abnormal way. It looked like it had been chopped off and hung on his neck, but he was not dead and was barely holding on.

"That's disrespectful! This is not something you should pursue!" Nitocris warned seriously.

Ritsuka smiled and rubbed his head, not realizing that the other party was avoiding the question.

"Although it's a bit risky, before we meet my husband again, our activities in the Sixth Singularity should focus on exploration rather than combat. Therefore, we will split into two groups according to Kallen's suggestion." Morgan looked at Scathach, "If I go with you, as long as we are a little more high-profile, we can attract the attention of Camelot."

At this time, Olga Marie put forward her own idea.

"I want to stay here."

"Eh?"

Her statement caused confusion among the others, who thought that Olga Marie had backed down because of the harsh situation.

"I'm not trying to escape." The director blushed and retorted, "The territory of the Sun King is the Age of Gods. During my rest in Chaldea, I discussed a certain celestial magic theory with Shiomi-sensei and the master. Maybe we can realize it with the help of this land."

——Because Morgan had not yet revealed his identity.

Then, Olgamari bowed her head to Nitocris and begged sincerely:

"Please ask Ms. Nitocris to ask the Sun King if we can use the environment here to prepare a great magic trick."

"...Regarding this, I need you to tell me the content of the magic first, and then I will decide whether to submit your request to the Sun King."

Although it was unexpected, Nitocris still gave a cautious answer.

Chapter 17 Heading to the Holy City

The next day, except for Olga Marie who stayed behind to borrow the Sun King's God's Territory to prepare magic and was taken care of by Nitocris, the rest of the people were divided into two teams according to the results of the discussion in the bathhouse last night, and each team explored in different directions.

In addition to leaving the car originally used to travel across the sand to the team heading towards Atlas Court, Scathach also gave Grey a gun.

Because no one can guarantee that Yad will be awakened by going to Atlas Court. As Gray has fighting ability that is not inferior to that of a Servant, she naturally needs a more suitable weapon.

After all, the halberd of the Knight of the Righteousness that she seized was just an ordinary weapon, and it might be broken when it came into contact with the Noble Phantasm of the Knights of the Round Table.

After explaining the situation, Morgan, Scathach and Kallen got on the three camels arranged by Nitocris and headed towards the holy city.

Half a day later, their camels arrived at the battlefield that had been raided by the Knights of the Round Table.

The dead Knights and horses had disappeared. It was not that the battlefield had been cleared, but there was only a huge crater left here, like the one left by a fallen meteorite.

"This is... the mark left by the Holy Spear." Karen also covered her mouth in surprise.

Under the bombardment of such a large-scale treasure, the upright knights and horses who died on the battlefield had long disappeared without a trace along with the blood that stained the yellow sand.
