Chapter 1,176 The Confrontation between Father and Son
"The Western face in black cloak..."
The Chaldean group has gone deep into the desert, but the person mentioned in the letter from Hassan Baimian is still full of doubts.
"Didn't the beautiful Hassan's letter mention more details?" Bedivere walked beside Mashu, frowning slightly.
"No, the letter is very short and uses the most concise words."
Amidst the yellow sand in the sky, Ma Xiu tightened his robe to resist the strong wind and responded to Bedivere.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, they even asked Roman to interpret the letter using various code interpretation techniques and various magician interpretation techniques before entering the desert. There was really no more information.
"If you are summoned to this singularity independently, then the first thing to consider is maybe the locals, or... people from Egypt?" Da Vinci had countless whimsical thoughts, "After all,
Egypt is also the face of the West, isn’t it?”
The corners of Percival's mouth twitched.
you sure?
"Well... do you know Lawrence?" Da Vinci suddenly had a hint of... a funny smile on his face.
This question has troubled several people.
Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka both looked at Da Vinci with expressions of "Are you okay?". Only Annuo, after a brief moment of astonishment, fell into thinking.
"What you said is probably not the same Lawrence as what we thought." After a moment, Annuo shook his head helplessly.
This friend of my companion is really a little too playful.
"Hmm." Leonardo da Vinci smiled and shrugged, "After all, the name Lawrence is not that rare, is it? You can find this word in both English and Italian."
"The Lawrence I'm talking about is T. E. Lawrence, which can also be called...Lawrence of Arabia. If you mention Egypt, you have to think of this person."
Following Da Vinci's words, Matthew also remembered that there was indeed such a person: "I remember... this person should be an important figure in Egypt's independence, right? He is a modern figure."
"What Da Vinci means is that the man in black robe could be this T. E. Lawrence?" Fujimaru Ritsuka pinched his chin and blinked.
"It's just a possibility. In fact, I only mentioned him because I thought it was interesting." Da Vinci smiled unscrupulously, "After all, think about it, it is always a wonderful thing to meet someone with the same name as an acquaintance.
Isn’t it something?”
"But this path is indeed not impossible. Let's keep walking and wait until we get there." Fujimaru Ritsuka put an end to Leonardo da Vinci's whimsical idea.
Then while they were talking, there was an exclamation from the front.
"Wow - it's an enlightened beast again!"
Obviously, this scream came from the unorthodox monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
She and Hatota went to explore the way ahead.
As the distance got closer, the feeling of magic became stronger.
"The wind and sand will block the transmission of magic power. It seems to be the Sphinx." Annuo judged what Xuanzang encountered based on the feeling of magic power.
"Let's hurry up and provide support!" Although he didn't understand why Xuanzang wanted to call the Sphinx an enlightened beast, Fujimaru Ritsuka said quickly.
"Take the first step."
The Storm King didn't say much. She just called out Ramri and quickly rushed in the direction of Xuanzang.
Camilla also turned into a blood shadow, hiding in the direction of Xuanzang in the gaps in the wind and sand.
There is not just one sphinx, there are many of them, at least a dozen.
Under the rule of the Sun King, even proud creatures like the Sphinx will turn into gregarious kittens.
"There are twenty-one in total. Do we need to repel them all? Master?" When Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived, the Storm King, who had been observing for a while, asked.
"No need, although we can indeed do it with our combat power, it would be too much of a loss." Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately waved his hand, "Let's observe their action patterns first? It seems like they are looking for something.
"
"If nothing else happens, this should be a place where the wind and sand cannot blow." Annuo walked over from behind and said as he walked.
If there are no special circumstances, sphinxes will not gather too much. Before, Annuo only encountered dense groups of sphinxes around the temple of the Sun King. Other than that, he only encountered them sporadically in the desert.
Just a few heads.
"That's it..." Xuanzang showed a happy and thoughtful expression.
"Is this the Buddha's blessing? You are so lucky." Wato said helplessly.
"You should call me master!" Xuanzang said dissatisfiedly. Suddenly, there was an unpleasant feeling coming from behind. He subconsciously looked back and frowned, "...huh?"
"What's the matter, Miss Xuanzang?" Fujimaru Ritsuka followed Xuanzang and looked back, but——
Saw nothing.
There was nothing but the wind and yellow sand, and no sky could be seen.
"Something is coming." An Nuo frowned.
There is a group of sphinxes in front of us. Before we can decide how to deal with it, there is another sense of threat coming from behind...
The situation is slightly ominous.
"Master, make a decision as soon as possible. If you engage the enemy here, you will alarm these monsters." Camilla reminded.
Xuanzang's movement just now actually alarmed the Sphinx. Fortunately, she moved quickly enough to cover Xuanzang's mouth and drag Xuanzang to the relatively safe position now.
After all, one person and a group are completely different concepts in terms of combat effectiveness.
"Prepare to forcefully break through the sphinx group! Don't be reluctant to fight, make entering the Atlas Academy your first task!" Fujimaru Ritsuka had already made a plan and said it immediately.
The threat from the rear has also arrived——
——
Walking from the desert on foot is a blood-stained knight.
His body was releasing powerful magic power, but his face was filled with confusion.
There were large blood stains on the purple armor.
Behind him, there was no one, not even a flying dragon.
But the sense of threat is approaching Chaldea in a real way.
"That is... the Knight of the Round Table, Lancelot." Bedivere gritted his teeth.
Parcival also felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Why does this guy's magic power make me feel more violent?"
The Storm King faced the group of sphinxes, glanced at Lancelot, and then went to deal with the sphinxes with the others, trying to enter the Atlas Courtyard quickly.
Anno looked at his son, but Lancelot did not raise his head to look at his father.
"...Percival, Bedivere, leave this to me." Annuo took a deep breath, his voice dull.
"You... help the Chaldean Master enter the Atlas Courtyard!"
His hand was not on the hilt of the white sword, even though the sense of threat coming from Lancelot was stronger than ever before.
"......I see."
"You must be careful."
The two knights of the Round Table naturally knew the urgency of the matter and believed in Anno's strength. They turned around and went to support Fujimaru Ritsuka.
