Chapter 815: I Suspect Caster is the Nameless Pharaoh!
Chapter 815: I Suspect Caster is the Nameless Pharaoh!
"Kid, this is what a real mansion looks like. Unlike your place, I don't have to squeeze into a tiny compartment with you."
Despite his constant travels and conquests, Iskandar, the Rider and Conqueror, surprisingly showed little concern for accommodations. However, he did emphasize the importance of maintaining a kingly demeanor.
Unexpectedly, Rider Iskandar, the Conqueror, who Faruzuki Tokito thought would never arrive, was the first to show up with his beloved Waver Velvet.
The Noble Phantasm, "Divine Thunder Wheel," was pulled by a flying thunder bull, creating a thunderous sound in the air. Iskandar, the renowned conqueror from history, made a grand entrance.
Iskandar, with his red hair and muscular build, exuded a cheerful and bold personality. He seemed more like a general than a king, contrasting sharply with his Master, Waver, who appeared almost delicate beside him.
Upon hearing Iskandar's words, Waver couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"The Faruzan family is a renowned lineage in the magical community, with a history and heritage spanning centuries. They were one of the three families that created the Holy Grail. How can an ordinary magician like me compare to them?"
Before Waver could finish, a peculiar voice with a strange tone interrupted, "You're quite self-aware, Waver Velvet.
A magician of your mediocre talent has no right to participate in the Holy Grail War. Not only are you talentless, but you're also a despicable thief."
Undoubtedly, the speaker who suddenly appeared and mocked Waver was none other than Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, the Clock Tower's tutor.
Kenneth's disdain for Waver stemmed from the fact that the latter had stolen the Holy Relic he had prepared to summon Iskandar.
In the end, Kenneth had no choice but to use a backup relic to summon the radiant Diarmuid.
To be honest, compared to Diarmuid, Iskandar was Kenneth's ideal Heroic Spirit.
While Diarmuid was undoubtedly powerful, his reputation in legends wasn't the best.
Moreover, Kenneth had a beautiful fiancee, and lately, he had noticed her gaze towards Diarmuid becoming increasingly unsettling.
If not for Waver's thievery, he would never have summoned the bullheaded Diarmuid. This was the reason for Kenneth's intense hatred towards Waver.
If not for the fact that they were guests at the Faruzan residence, Kenneth might have taken action already!
"So, you're saying that the original summoner of me should have been you? In that case, I'm glad the relic was stolen by this kid.
I've never had much respect for the nobility. If you want to conquer someone, you should display your own might and spirit. Those who rely solely on their status are nothing but petty."
As Iskandar's words fell, a Noble Phantasm flew past his face and embedded itself into the frame of the Divine Thunder Wheel.
"You insolent fool! Were you implying that I'm a weakling who only flaunts his status?
Have you prepared your apology for provoking a king?"
Iskandar showed no anger towards Gilgamesh's provocation, as he had anticipated the use of special means to draw out the Primordial King, who was known for his arrogance.
"Indeed, you are the most ancient of Hero Kings, but I, Iskander, am also one of the renowned rulers in history.
However, I did not expect that among the seven Heroic Spirits in this Holy Grail War, there would be three, or perhaps four, rulers from different eras gathered together.
Well, I have not met Caster in person, but I have heard about him from other Heroic Spirits. My Master has also gathered information about him.
Caster claims to be Mahad, a High Priest of Ancient Egypt, who followed a Nameless Pharaoh and defeated the Great Demon Sok, a dark power that plagued the world. After that war, he vanished from history.
Is it possible that Caster himself is the Nameless Pharaoh? After all, in his story, the Nameless Pharaoh lost his memory and name due to a curse.
Could it be that Caster has forgotten his own identity as the Nameless Pharaoh and, feeling ashamed for failing to protect his people, he invented the existence of a High Priest to escape reality?"
Iskander's words stunned everyone present, and soon, a female voice accompanied by footsteps echoed from a distance: "Rider, although your speculation lacks concrete evidence, I find it highly plausible."
As Saber, clad in a blue battle skirt, made her entrance, Iskander revealed a satisfied expression: "So, you have arrived as well, King of Knights.
As you just said, do you also believe that Caster possesses the qualities of a ruler?"
Saber couldn't determine if Night City possessed the qualities of a ruler, but she understood the feelings of guilt and responsibility for failing to protect one's people.
Iskander's bold speculation even caused Gilgamesh, who usually enjoyed being a contrarian, to fall into deep thought.
Despite Iskander's rough appearance, Gilgamesh had to admit that his conjecture wasn't entirely impossible.
There were countless High Priests serving the Pharaohs, so why was Caster so exceptional that he could defeat a world-threatening boss alongside the Pharaoh?
Moreover, if Caster, as a mere High Priest, was this powerful, how formidable would the Nameless Pharaoh be? If a High Priest could rival Gilgamesh, it indirectly implied that Gilgamesh was inferior to this 'Nameless Pharaoh.'
In that case, Gilgamesh would rather accept Iskander's speculation and consider Caster as the Nameless Pharaoh.
Even if Caster was powerful enough to rival him, Gilgamesh could reluctantly accept it, as the other party was, at the very least, a ruler in their own right.
