The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

"Ugh, this feeling is awful!!"

The white cloth cover was lifted, revealing a female pharaoh with brown skin and purple hair.

That's right, she was Nitocris, the female pharaoh who left some mark on history.

Nitocris picked up the fruit, took a few bites, and savored the sweet juice, which made her think about how to face the future.

"This is not the Egypt I am meant to protect, but merely the ruins of a civilization. Their so-called original civilization doesn't seem to have much reverence for our Egypt..."

Nitocris was deep in thought when a shout came from outside, "Mejed God, Mejed God, that evil god is here!!"

"Ok?"

Nitocris was slightly startled and immediately put the white cloth cover on herself, instantly transforming from a perfectly proportioned female pharaoh into the somewhat dazed so-called god Mejed.

A member of the resistance group stumbled in and, upon seeing Nitocris, cried out, "My God, the evil goddess Bai Zhi has arrived! You promised to end her evil deeds!"

After saying that, he looked at Nitocris with hopeful eyes.

This person has demonstrated extraordinary abilities, even able to summon the Nile River in this desert to drown countless enemies.

Such a powerful being, even the evil god Bai Zhi would be wary of, right?

"I have said that..."

Nitocris took a deep breath. "Then lead the way. I will fight that evil god."

As Nitocris stepped out of the pyramid entrance, she looked at the group of people standing in front of her and fell silent.

Although she didn't recognize some of them, the powerful aura emanating from them was undeniable.

"You, why don't you kneel before the great God Mejde?"

Bai Zhi glanced at the person who had spoken so arrogantly, wondering what logic led them to say such things to such a large group of people.

Nitocris was speechless. Where did this idiot come from? Did he really think she was invincible?

Ignoring the arrogant fellow, Bai Zhi looked at the person in front of her.

She recognized the other person at a glance.

After all, the white hooded suit worn by Mejed is just too distinctive.

“Miss Nitocris, right?”

"How did you know my name? Do you have a way of seeing through my real name?"

Nitocris looked at Bai Zhi with some wariness. A Servant's true name is very important, as it often represents a lot of information and can be used to control the situation.

"After all, Miss Nito is very famous in history, of course I remember her and can recognize her."

"Eh??"

Nitocris was a little dumbfounded; she hadn't expected Bai Zhi to answer like that.

Could it be that this immortal from the East is actually a fan of mine?

Bai Zhi was certainly not a fan of Nitocris, but she was very impressed by Nitocris's figure and appearance.

She had standard tanned skin and a very fit figure; she decisively went for the swimsuit card back then just for that look.

“Miss Nito, are you surprised? Although Miss Nito’s reputation in history is not as great as that of pharaohs like Ramses II, I admire what Miss Nito has accomplished.”

Nitocris was born into the royal family. According to the traditional marriage customs of ancient Egypt, she married her brother, Meranla II, the king of the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt, and became the queen of Egypt.

When Meranla II ascended the throne, the monarchy was already in serious jeopardy. He reigned for only a year before clashing with officials who held real power. A political assassination ensued, ending Meranla II's political career and making Nitocris a widowed queen.

The sudden political assassination plunged Nitocris into deep sorrow.

In order to seek revenge, she calmly concealed her feelings, kept a clear head, and skillfully maneuvered with powerful ministers. She finally gained their trust and was put on the throne, becoming the Queen of Upper and Lower Egypt.

She was the first queen in Egyptian history to exercise political power over all of Egypt, and her achievements were certainly remarkable.

In the game's storyline, she mainly displays some unique and endearing traits.

Furthermore, she later built a luxurious underground palace and invited the main culprits who had murdered Meranla II to a banquet.

While the ministers were reveling in the magnificence and ingenuity of the underground palace, Nitocris stepped out from the crowd and ordered the pre-prepared water gates to be opened, sending the unfortunate ministers to meet the god of the underworld.

Her swimsuit-style Assassin-class Noble Phantasm should be derived from this historical event.

Nitocris paused for a moment, then lifted the disguise of the god Mejed, revealing her true face.

Now that their real names have been revealed, there's no point in pretending anymore.

“I have no intention of starting a conflict, Miss Nito, and this is not your Egypt, so I think we can perhaps resolve this peacefully.”

Bai Zhi said earnestly.

Nitocris shook her head. "I know about the immortals from the East, but... since I've already made a promise to them, I can't just back down without taking the initiative."

Her thoughts were clear: she knew this was not the Egypt she was meant to protect, but since the people here had summoned her, she would fulfill her duties.

As for whether she can win or not, all I can say is that she would be worthy of those who summoned her if she could fight.

Bai Zhi understood Nitocris's implied meaning and said, "Miss Nitocris, how about this, let's have a fight. If you lose, you will sign a contract with me and become my servant."

"If I lose... well, win or lose, I will send people from the Ming Dynasty to study ancient Egyptian civilization, so that more people will become familiar with ancient Egyptian culture, history, and many other things."

For a pharaoh like Nitocris, seeing Egypt transformed today probably made her more worried about the decline of ancient Egyptian culture.

"Really??"

Upon hearing this, Nitocris's eyes lit up. Just as she had thought, there was nothing here worth protecting. The locals weren't particularly interested in the pyramids and ancient Egyptian artifacts anyway.

If Bai Zhi can truly inspire others to study ancient Egyptian culture and make it known to more people, then her wish will have been fulfilled.

"Of course, I am a noble dragon, and I never lie!"

"Then... I agree to your terms."

Nitocris hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

We look forward to having you join us!

Chapter 876 Magic is Free

"Well, I'm sorry!"

Nitocris took out her scepter; after all, the necessary formalities had to be performed.

"Why would an Assassin use something like a staff as a weapon?"

Bai Zhi stared speechlessly at the pose Nitocris made. "You can call yourself a Caster, but you're an Assassin, using a staff?"

Something seems off here.

"Which of you would like to spar with Miss Nito?"

Bai Zhi looked around at the others.

If she were to go up and fight Nito herself, it would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito; it's not right to bully someone like that.

"Master, please let me do it. I haven't shown my skills since we signed the contract."

Tamamo-no-Mae walked forward with elegant steps, gave a slight bow, and spoke.

"no problem?"

"Of course, although I am now a Caster, Master's magic power is too abundant, so even in a direct battle, it is not a problem."

Tamamo-no-Mae knew what Bai Zhi meant by asking that question. Generally, the condition for being summoned as a Caster is that one's magical ability reaches the highest level. Due to this characteristic, eligible Servants usually have relatively low combat abilities and are often regarded as the weakest class.

Compared to other classes, Caster's attributes are usually relatively low, but in exchange, they gain powerful luck, magic power, and the ability to build bases and craft items.

"Besides... Miss Nito seems to be an Assassin."

Tamamo-no-Mae covered her face with her fan and said with a smile, "Caster has no advantage over many classes, but it is particularly effective against classes like Assassin and Berserker, which generally have low magic defense."

"In that case, I'll leave this battle to you, Tamamo. Just stop when you've made your point."

Bai Zhi tilted her head. She knew that Caster had a counter effect against Assassin in the game, but in reality, it was hard to say how much of this counter effect was real, so she just regarded it as a game setting.

"Of course, I'm very understanding!"

After saying that, Tamamo-no-Mae walked up to Nitocris and said, "Miss Nitocris, I will fight this battle for my Master."

"please!"

Nitocris's voice was deep. With a wave of her scepter, the ground trembled, black mist rose, and countless black vengeful spirits emerged from the sand, roaring as they rushed toward Tamamo-no-Mae.

Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes narrowed, she unfolded her folding fan, and her magic transformed into golden light. With a sweep of the fan, the vengeful spirits exploded in front of the light screen.

She said softly, "The vengeful spirits of the underworld? There are quite a few, but not enough for me."

With a flash, she leaped into the air, her several fox tails flaming as they swept towards the ground, attempting to burn away the black mist.

Nitocris frowned slightly, slammed her scepter into the ground, and black mist condensed into sharp spikes that pierced towards Tamamo-no-Mae from all directions.

The spikes moved with incredible speed, tearing the air apart with a low hum. Tamamo-no-Mae moved nimbly, landing with her hands forming a hand seal as she uttered a low shout: "Guardian Heavenly Fox Barrier!"

The golden light shield expanded, and the spikes struck it, producing a piercing collision sound and sparks flying everywhere.

Although the light shield trembled, it did not break. She seized the opportunity to counterattack, waving her folding fan and transforming spiritual energy into countless flying blades that rushed straight towards Nitocris.

Nitocris dodged to the side, spun her scepter, and the ground cracked open. She used the momentum to retreat, avoiding the attack of the flying blades.

"Tamamo-no-Mae is indeed quite formidable..."

Without waiting for a response, she gripped the scepter tightly with both hands, and magic surged forth.

A massive black portal suddenly appeared behind them, and a giant sphinx roared out, its red eyes locking onto Tamamo-no-Mae before pouncing on her.

Tamamo-no-Mae's pupils contracted slightly, and she waved her folding fan repeatedly, unleashing a barrage of energy projectiles at the Sphinx, but only leaving shallow scratches on its body.

She frowned. "This monster's defense... is a bit tricky."

The Sphinx slammed down with its claw, sending up a sandstorm. She rolled away to dodge, the impact creating a deep crater in the ground. Nitocris stood at a distance, directing the Sphinx to continue its attack, while black mist condensed into chains, silently wrapping around Tamamo-no-Mae from the side.

Nitocris shook her head slightly: "Miss Tamamo-no-Mae, be careful!"

Tamamo-no-Mae noticed the chains and swept them away with her tail, but the Sphinx's pursuit kept her focused. She gritted her teeth and said, "Miss Nito, it seems I have to get a little more serious."

Then, Tamamo-no-Mae clasped her hands together, and the magic power from Bai Zhi made her strength surge. Several tails behind her lit up with golden light, and she shouted: "Heavenly Fox Nine Luminaries Annihilation!"

A dazzling beam of light descended from the sky and struck the Sphinx.

"boom--"

The explosion was deafening; the Sphinx was shattered into pieces, and dust filled the sky.

Nitocris swayed, but braced herself with her scepter to steady herself.

“Miss Tamamo-no-Mae, this attack was indeed threatening, but it wasn’t enough.”

She swung her scepter, and the black mist transformed into a giant scythe, slashing towards Tamamo-no-Mae with a whooshing sound. Tamamo-no-Mae shrugged her fan, and her body was jolted back several meters, leaving a long trail in the sand.

Tamamo-no-Mae shook her head: "Miss Nito, aren't you taking this a little too seriously?"

As she spoke, Tamamo-no-Mae curled her tail, condensing her magic into an energy blast that collided head-on with the scythe.

"boom--"

The deafening roar of the attacks echoed as the two forces locked in a stalemate, the shockwaves sending the surrounding sand flying several meters high.

"Alright, Miss Nito, the performance is over. Now, I'm going to get serious!"

Tamamo-no-Mae covered the lower half of her face with a folding fan, her tone carrying a hint of amusement.

"Ok?"

Nitocris was a little confused. Had Tamamo-no-Mae not used her full strength just now?

"Miss Nito, do you know what the greatest advantage Master has given me is?"

Seeing Nito's puzzled look, Tamamo-no-Mae chuckled.

"It's...what?"

Nito was somewhat puzzled.

"It's an endless supply of magic power, enough to sustain me in unleashing powerful attacks without stopping!"

After saying that, Tamamo-no-Mae took a few steps back, then floated up, her tail emitting a strong golden light.

A huge energy blast instantly formed above her head and then flew straight toward Nitocris.
