Chapter 273: Pharaoh's Fear

Deep in the desert, in a temple of typical Egyptian pyramids, Nitokris respectfully reports to the young man on the throne.

“…… Dear Pharaoh, don't we really need to get involved in the conflict between the Assassin Order and the Knights of the Round Table? ”

With some hesitation, Nitokris asked, "If you want to show the glory of our pharaohs, isn't now the best time?" ”

The young man on the throne had a white shawl fixed by gold ornaments on his shoulders, and his upper body with well-proportioned muscles was mostly exposed, and his temperament appeared haughty and calm.

Both in personality and in his penchant for gold ornaments, this man bears some resemblance to Gilgamesh, but there are noticeable differences in some places.

This handsome young man with a strong presence is none other than Ramses II, the most famous pharaoh of ancient Egypt and the Sun King of kings, Osmandis.

Every pharaoh of ancient Egypt was seen as the spokesman of the gods, except for Ramses II, whose people regarded him as the equivalent of the sun god Ra.

"Heh~"

Ozmandias chuckled, subconsciously supported his neck, and his eyes flashed with solemnity.

"Nitokris, it's not time for us to make a move."

"The king is reserved, let's continue to wait and see until one party takes the initiative to ask for help."

Osmandis looked up at the top of the pyramid with a strange look in his eyes.

"Don't underestimate the Assassin Order who has temporarily fallen into disadvantage, once that person decides to make a move...... Even the Lion King, who is as strong as a god, is just 'a life' in his eyes. ”

……

The Great Desert of Egypt, ruled by the Pharaohs, was very vast.

The Atlas Courtyard is located on the edge of the western part of the desert, just outside the control of the Pharaoh, about 50 kilometers away from the location of Lu Xiao and the others.

Adults who have undergone rigorous physical training can cover 50 kilometers in a day, but this is a figure that has been obtained without other external factors.

Although there is no complex terrain such as high mountains and valleys in the Great Desert of Egypt, the towering sand dunes and the occasional quicksand can drain the traveler's physical strength.

Moreover, there are few plants in the desert, there is nowhere to shade, and the hot sun shines directly on Fujimaru Ritsuka and others, and the consumption of water and physical strength increases exponentially.

In this case, 15 kilometers a day is the limit, and this is still a straight line with sufficient water.

Under Lu Xiao's use of clairvoyance, the group across the desert can discover the location of the oasis in advance and ensure the water supply in the desert to the greatest extent.

However, there is also a disadvantage to the detour to the various oases, which is that the time to reach the Atlas Courtyard is further extended if it is not in a straight line.

In order not to continue to arouse the suspicion of Leonardo da Vinci, Lu Xiao did not expose too much strength in front of the Chaldean trio, he played an ordinary Assassin who was lucky enough to have clairvoyance.

If you rely purely on foot, even if Rika Fujimaru, who is an ordinary person, can support her body, it will take about five days to reach the Atlas Temple.

Fortunately, along the way was Leonardo da Vinci, known as the man of all powers.

Under the guidance of Lu Xiao, the group made a detour to the first oasis.

Leonardo da Vinci used the trees near the oasis as the main material to create a rudimentary version of the all-terrain vehicle powered by magic.

"Wow~"

The magic version of the ATV sped through the desert, and the vine Rika in charge of driving it let out a strange cry of excitement.

Da Vinci, who was regarded as a magic battery, puffed up his chest and asked proudly, "How is it?" Fujimaru and Matthew, I'm glad I went on this trip, right? ”

The honest Matthew followed Da Vinci's words and began to tout: "Da Vinci, dear Da Vinci, a great favor, this car can save us at least 2-3 days." ”

Fujimaru also echoed and praised: "I thought I really had to walk in the desert for nearly a week, thank you so much, Da Vinci dear." ”

"Hmph~"

Leonardo da Vinci, who was praised, had a happy expression on his face: "That's it, a few more words of praise, genius also needs applause when he makes an epoch-making invention." ”

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes beside him and complained: "The rainbow fart is almost enough, Da Vinci just fulfilled his duty, there is no need to tout too much." ”

"Fujimaru, concentrate, don't lead us into the quicksand."

"Matthew, you try to conserve your strength."

"The Atlas Courtyard is not a suitable place for outings, in order to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, there will be a lot of magic mechanisms and self-discipline alchemy dolls inside, you are the only frontal combat type servant present, and you will need to put in a lot of effort in the future."

The innocent Matthew hurriedly sat up straight: "Yes! Mr. Assassin, I will definitely try! ”

Rika Fujimaru and Matthew are both typical promiscuous people who will not skimp on compliments from their peers.

If no one puts the brakes on them, the devil knows where the topic of these three people will go.

Under the magic of Nitokris, the desert is constantly blown by wind and sand, which is designed to hinder the intruder's vision and sense of direction.

If Nitokris confirms that the intruders on the desert territory have bad intentions, the wind and sand will immediately turn into an even more violent sandstorm, burying the invaders in the barren desert.

Perhaps under the instructions of the Pharaoh, Nitokris did not make it difficult for the Chaldeans to stay away from the core of the Egyptian desert, and the wind and sand in the sky only maintained a normal state.

Even so, the visibility when driving in the desert is very low, and if it weren't for Lu Xiao's clairvoyance to remind Fujimaru Rika how to move forward at any time, the all-terrain vehicle might have crashed into the sand dunes a long time ago.

In the early morning of the third day of westward travel from the core of the desert, the car driven by Matthew finally broke out of Nitokris's magic range.

Although the clear sky made the temperature rise again, the joy of the close proximity of the target site diluted Fujimaru's exhaustion.

"Parking, the entrance to the Atlas Courtyard is nearby."

Under Lu Xiao's instructions, Ma Xiu steadily parked the all-terrain vehicle in the quiet desert.

Lu Xiao's eyes will emit a faint golden light when he turns on his eagle vision with all his might, and Da Vinci, who noticed this, had the same habitual thinking as Nitokris, and classified Lu Xiao's powerful vision as the magic eye of the observation system.

"Boom!"

Lu Xiao slammed his fist on the ground coldly, and the ground that was originally buried by yellow sand suddenly collapsed, and Fujimaru and Mathew screamed in panic and fell down.

Lu Xiao moved to the two of them with a shrunken footwork, grabbing the clothes on the back of their necks one by one, preventing the two from falling directly to the ground from the desert with a height difference of five meters.

Leonardo da Vinci unfolded one of the parts of her complicated clothes from behind, and the small magic toy that resembled a glider sent her to Lu Xiao and the three of them safely.

"Thank you...... Thank you, Assassin. ”

Fujimaru and Ma Xiu, who had regained their footing, let out a sigh of relief and politely bowed to Lu Xiao and thanked him.

"Don't be so restrained, it's ...... than this"

Lu Xiao raised his chin forward: "This is the entrance to the Atlas Academy, Leonardo, you should have felt the abundant magic, take action." ”

When Leonardo da Vinci began to set up the magic position, Lu Xiao turned around and faced the passage through the interior of the Astra Courtyard.

"Matthew, get ready for battle, there's something approaching nearby."
