Or, why don’t you find another savior?

There may be an even more important reason for doing this.

And Scathach was certain that the reason lay in her beloved disciple.

"Even if you care very much, I have no intention of revealing it. Just use your magic wisdom to guess it?" Morgan said with a smile.

Scathach propped up her chin with one hand: "I am not interested in a story that is easy to understand, especially one about a beloved disciple."

"Are you trying to cover up your own lack of wisdom with this excuse?"

"Wisdom should be used for more valuable things rather than such useless prying."

As they talked, the two began to bicker again, and Xi Jian began to understand that Morgan and his master did not have an irreconcilable conflict, they just simply disliked each other.

Of course... it seems a bit serious when you think about it this way.

But this is his fate. Anyway, it seems that this kind of bickering has become a good entertainment for them along the way.

No matter what, it is a thousand times better than them targeting me.

The three of them set out in the morning, crossing mountains and rivers, and riding a sand buggy through the desert. Such a forced march can only be carried out smoothly with this composition of personnel.

"Oh? There?" Morgan said.

The outline of the Sun King's territory had just appeared at the end of the desert, and the sun was about to set.

She was referring to the oasis where they had previously stopped to rest.

"It's already this late, why don't we rest in the oasis for a night and go to meet the Sun King tomorrow." Scathach also said, she gently lifted the hood, "The dune buggy is really not very comfortable, I need my beloved disciple to give me a good massage."

"...It's rare to agree with you." Morgan agreed lightly.

Although Shiomi doubted the truth of these words, he still kept his mouth shut and followed their lead into the oasis to prepare to set up camp.

Chapter 50 Moonlit Night

"Hey-"

Shiomi threw a stone with runes written on it into the desert outside the oasis.

This is the last piece.

When the stone fell into the desert, the barrier spell prepared in advance gradually formed around the oasis.

This kind of barrier can prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants in the desert from approaching and invading.

Second, it can block surveillance and exploration, treating this place as a mirage and accidentally ignoring or not seeing it.

The third is to act as a reverse radar. As the master of the barrier, Shiomi, as the master of the barrier, can discover it immediately as long as someone or a servant approaches.

After finishing all this, Shiomi returned to the center of the oasis and found that the tent had been set up.

Neither the master nor Morgan was the type who was unfamiliar with miscellaneous matters, so it would be difficult for him to do everything on his own.

But instead of seeing the two men, he heard the sound of water in the pond.

He looked up and saw Scathach standing in the shallow water, gathering her hair into a bun.

Morgan was just walking out of the water, clear water drops sliding down her skin.

The moonlight shone on the two of them, and they looked like a pair of white jade sculptures that could not be carved by even the most skillful hands.

"In this case, the water can't be drunk... No, it might be just right to drink." Shiomi squatted by the pool and said to the two people in the water.

"There is still plenty of fresh water and food." Scathach smiled.

Morgan stroked his shoulder and tilted his head slightly. There was a cold charm flowing in the depths of his light blue eyes: "If you want to drink, I don't mind, but you have to ask someone to leave first, purify it again with magic, and then let me soak in the water--"

"I was just joking, don't take it so seriously." Xi Jian touched his nose, "It's been dusty all the way, it's time to take a bath."

"Aren't you going to bathe?" asked Scathach.

Xi Jian was stunned: "Of course, but..."

When they were in Chaldea, they had never bathed together as a group of three, let alone seen sharing a pool of water.

"But what?" Morgan raised an eyebrow.

"I thought you would take turns washing." Xijian stretched out his hand and dipped it into the water.

The water in the pool is so clear that it really makes people want to take a bath.

"In an emergency, it's hard to worry about so many problems." Scathach said calmly, "Besides, when the female pharaoh Nitocris entertained us in the palace of the Sun King, we had already soaked in a pool of water. Although it was with those girls."

"Eh..." Xi Jian sighed with great regret, and then asked tentatively, "Then...can I take a shower too?"

"That depends on what my husband thinks."

Everyone knew that what was going to happen next was not as simple as taking a bath in the oasis pool. Shiomi felt a little hot and her heartbeat quickened.

He took off his clothes and walked into the lake, holding Morgan and his master in his arms, sucking the sweet rain that belonged to him like a thirsty traveler who had trekked in the desert for days.

"Really... is it okay? Three of us together?" Xi Jian did not hide his greed. After all, last night he could only deal with it separately.

Of course, these words received no response, only a response that was enough to turn the cool pool water into lukewarm.

"No matter how you resist after touching the forbidden realm of God, you will become God one day."

The Lion King's words suddenly echoed in his ears, making him suddenly feel uneasy.

So he used all his strength and caution to hold the two women he loved deeply, asking them for things that belonged to them, and using the purest part to eliminate the words that suddenly lingered in his ears.

----------

Lying on the blanket, through the branches and leaves that are not enough to block the sky, you can see the starry sky at the singularity and the huge band of light hanging in the sky.

The desert night breeze blew over the naked bodies of the three people, gradually cooling down their burning bodies.

"Is it my illusion? My husband is more intense than ever?" Morgan asked Shiomi in his ear as he calmed down his breathing.

"And even more greedy, as if this opportunity only comes once." Scathach rested her head on his other arm, her hair messy and stuck to her face, her red eyes filled with deep affection.

There is no way to count how many times I asked for it.

The sense of openness brought by the tent swallowed up their rationality and drowned them in pure happiness.

As expected, they noticed it. Shiomi's breathing gradually slowed down, then he sighed deeply and bent his arms to hug their bodies.

"What happened with Altria?" Morgan's voice was teasing and a little dangerous. "Is it more than just riding together?"

"If that were the case, my beloved disciple would have said it long ago." Scathach's tone suddenly became unpredictable.

Rather than feeling jealous or something like that, it's closer to displeasure.

Not at him, but at The Lion King.

"The Lion King captured me because she needed me to go to the end with her." Shiomi said something that had not been told in the village.

He had originally planned to find a suitable time to tell them these words in private.

"Need?" Morgan's voice returned to its usual calmness.

"Because of the power I touched, she determined that one day I would become the same as her." Shiomi continued to add.

Scathach nodded slightly, her hair rubbing against his neck as she did so: "That makes sense. After being corrupted by the Holy Lance and transformed into a god, she intends to invite another person who will ascend to the throne of God to accompany her."

"You really have a unique vision." Morgan murmured, "It's ok for you to fancy my husband, but you actually want to make him a god who lives with you."

Shiomi did not comment on what his master and Morgan said, but simply expressed his fear truthfully.

"The Lion King said that no matter how much I refuse, I will become a god one day... I am afraid of this possibility."

Morgan emerged from his arms, half-sitting beside him and leaning over to gaze into Shiomi's eyes: "I see."

"Is that why you want to use human desires to deny this possibility?" Scathach understood.

"But if it's only this extent, it just proves that you haven't lost the human part." Morgan pushed his hair behind his ears.

"Uh..." Xijian glanced and saw that his master had also sat up.

Being looked down upon by them at the same time, he first felt a chill on his back, and his heartbeat, which had just calmed down, began to speed up again.

"Generally speaking, accepting the Lion King's invitation is the option that best suits one's personal interests." Morgan put his finger to Shiomi's lips.

"I can't leave you guys alone to survive, and I can't... turn a blind eye to the crisis in the world." Xi Jian spoke out his inner thoughts.

What he wants is this bustling world where the people he loves live, not an isolated world.

"So..." Morgan said slowly.

“——You should be rewarded.” The master continued.

The two people's voices once again broke the string of rationality in Shiomi's mind.

Only the bright moonlight remains.

Chapter 1: Pharaoh’s Trial ()

The next day, the territory of the Sun King.

The closer they got to this area, the easier it would be for them to be noticed by Nitocris, who was in charge of monitoring the situation at the singularity.

As representatives of Chaldea and as guests visiting here for the second time, they entered the territory without being blocked by any barriers.

"This is the Sun King's territory... and the air of the Age of Gods..."

After getting off the dune buggy with Morgan and the master, we drove along a road with wheat fields on both sides. Along the way, we could see many houses made of mud, which were typical of the residential style of the Sixteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt.

There are civilians working in the fields. It seems that when the Sun King brought his territory to the singularity, he also brought these civilians with him as part of maintaining the production environment of this territory.

How can a Pharaoh be called a Pharaoh without his subjects?

Thinking of the Mad King in the fifth singularity, Shiomi couldn't help but shake her head secretly.

"It's just a specific environment, and we can withstand it with just Rune's protection. But if..." Scathach said, "we go to the real Age of Gods, we need to make some more useful preparations."

Morgan put his hands behind his back and lowered his gaze to the golden ears of wheat in the field: "Since the seventh singularity was confirmed to be located in the Age of Gods, Da Vinci has been preparing ceremonial garments for them that can assist in the activities of the Age of Gods."

"Just to be clear, I don't need it." Shiomi added jokingly.

"I won't prepare it for you even if you need it." Morgan raised his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "If you can't even bear the air of the Age of Gods, then your training in the Kingdom of Shadows is just in name only."

"What a harsh statement! Are you also insulting me as your master, Morgan?" Scathach snorted.

Xi Jian slumped his shoulders: "It's a pity you still have the energy to bicker..."

"The magic power was replenished too abundantly, and a lot of it was wasted." Scathach pinched her chin, as if recalling something.

"It's my husband. How's his condition?" Morgan asked with concern.

"Very good... very good..." Xijian felt embarrassed when being asked this question.

It is better to say that although a lot of magic power was taken away, the mental state is unusually full.

If he wasn't in the singularity and had important matters to attend to, he might have dragged them to spend a few more days in the oasis.

As the pyramid of the Sun King's residence, the 'Glorious Grand Temple', was getting closer and closer, Shiomi wanted to ask what kind of person the Sun King was, when she heard a very happy voice coming from the long corridor in front of the temple.

"Teacher! Teacher Shiomi!"

Olga Marie stepped out of a dark mirror.

She ran towards here while shouting Shiomi's name.

"When Nitocris said you were coming too, I thought she was joking. Teacher, you're back safely! If it weren't for you, I..."

She sounded like a little child, and her voice sounded both happy and as if she was about to cry.

Finally, she threw herself into Shiomi's arms.

"It's just the Lion King's holy spear, it's no big deal." Xi Jian downplayed the matter. He rubbed Olga Marie's head, "But Marie, choosing to stay alone in the Sun King's territory as a liaison between Chaldea and this side is remarkable."

"My role as a liaison is just incidental. I just want to use the environment here to verify Kirshtalia's theory." Olga Marie rubbed against his arms like a cat.

"The theory of celestial magic proposed by him?" Shiomi was stunned.

He knew it was true.

In theory, Kirshtalia is a genius that even Shiomi would envy, but that is only in theory.

According to the Magic Association, these theories are ultimately just empty talk, and cannot be realized without the environment of the Age of Gods.

As a direct disciple of the former director Marisberry, his theories were naturally known to Marisberry's successor, Olga Marie.

"After all, it is a secret method that can be used. As one of the forces to attack Camelot, it does have its merits." Morgan gave her evaluation.
