Chapter 124: Ramesses II Shines Brightly on the Scene!
Inside the pyramid, on the elevated steps in the middle of the throne hall, two thrones made entirely of pure gold were erected.
And on these towering steps, two kings sat, shimmering with golden radiance.
"How boring." Resting his left hand on the throne, his chin supported by his hand, Gill... no, Gill uttered those two words with complete boredom.
"Until now, the Servants who have arrived at our holy domain, 'EUO Super Deluxe Seaside Paradise,' have been a bunch of mediocre weaklings. It truly makes one weary."
Ozymandias, the king seated on the left throne, also responded in agreement, "Indeed, our opinions are completely aligned, O Golden One."
"Of course, my Sun."
"Although it is a gathering of Servants from all over the world, vying for the title of the strongest among the strongest, the Servants who have come here are nothing but weaklings. It's really... not interesting at all."
Watching one Servant after another appear on the floating screens before them, all of which were captured through surveillance throughout the entire amusement park... oh no, I mean, recorded.
After Ramesses II finished speaking, Gill pondered for a moment and said, "However, even if we are determining the strongest among the strongest, the definition of 'the strongest' itself needs to be established."
"You're right." With those words, Ramesses II smiled faintly and praised himself with utmost confidence.
"But really, to contemplate who the strongest Heroic Spirit is... it's as self-evident as the sun shining in the sky. It's utterly foolish to even think about it."
Hearing this, Gill thought to himself that Ramesses II's admiration for him was quite unexpected. He even felt a bit flattered and couldn't help but smile with delight. "Hmph... the embellishment in your choice of words is a bit excessive, my Sun. It even makes me feel a bit embarrassed. But as you said."
Since Ramesses II praised himself as the strongest, Gill also decided to accept this sentiment and acknowledge himself as the strongest.
"It's nothing. Don't mind it, O Golden One. The one who should feel embarrassed is me." Seeing that Gill did not refute his words, Ramesses II immediately realized that Gill was conceding, and he burst into laughter. "Hahahaha!!!"
"Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!!!" Following closely behind, Gill burst into laughter as well.
And so, the entire throne hall was filled with an atmosphere of merriment.
——————————————————
Regardless of what happened inside the inverted pyramid, it's evident that Bai Song, who has just arrived at the seaside amusement park, knows nothing about it.
"Phew, we finally made it. The electric scooter is almost out of battery," Bai Song exclaimed.
After getting off the electric scooter, Bai Song tapped the battery indicator on the dashboard with his right index finger joint. Just as he tapped it, the two remaining bars of battery vanished before his eyes, as if responding to Bai Song's remark of "almost out of battery," choosing to completely deplete it.
At the moment the battery reached zero, Bai Song's face turned dark. "Damn, it actually ran out of battery!"
"Ryuunosuke is such a jerk, isn't he? He didn't even charge the electric scooter before going out," Bai Song cursed Ryuunosuke upon seeing the situation.
Bai Song wondered if Ryuunosuke never used the scooter himself. No wonder when he found the electric scooter, it was covered in dust and even had cockroaches crawling on it!
"???" Spike, who had just gotten off the electric scooter, immediately had a bunch of question marks popping up above its head. At the same time, it cast an unhappy glance at Bai Song.
For some reason, although Bai Song was scolding someone else, Spike felt like Bai Song was also scolding it. Although Spike was discontented, it seemed to lack evidence to prove that Bai Song was scolding it. Besides, even if it could prove it, Spike couldn't retort back.
"But it's alright; I brought a charger!"
After scanning the surroundings, Bai Song quickly noticed a row of power outlets at a nearby parking space, obviously meant for charging electric scooters.
Seeing this, Bai Song immediately pushed the electric scooter to that parking space. He plugged one end of the charger into the power outlet and the other end into the scooter's battery. When the charging symbol appeared on the scooter's dashboard, Bai Song was satisfied and ready to have breakfast with his cat, dog, and mouse.
The EUO Super Deluxe Seaside Paradise opens at exactly 7:00 a.m., and Bai Song arrived right on time. It was only 7:05 a.m. after parking the scooter.
To be honest, Bai Song had never been so punctual for school.
"Spike, let's go!" Bai Song patted Spike's head and headed towards the interior of the amusement park, with the goal of enjoying a free breakfast first!
"Woof woof!" Spike, who hadn't yet figured out whether Bai Song was scolding it, saw Bai Song leaving and decided to temporarily set aside the unnecessary thoughts. It happily followed Bai Song without thinking too much.
Thinking about two things at the same time was too difficult for Spike, so for now, it straightforwardly forgot about the possibility of being scolded by Bai Song.
However, unbeknownst to Bai Song, just as he left, an elegant old man dressed as a bartender appeared at the parking spot.
"Oh my~?" The elegant old man looked at Bai Song's departing figure and then glanced at the electric scooter that was currently being charged and left unlocked.
The elegant old man stroked his beard and said with delight, "What a coincidence."
From his elegant bartender attire, the old man elegantly pulled out... hmm, a wrench.
Then, after looking around to make sure no one was watching, as everyone was rushing towards the interior of the amusement park, the elegant old man decisively squatted next to the electric scooter and began unscrewing the screws on the battery.
In just a few moments, the elegant bartender effortlessly removed the battery.
"Yarrr, this can hardly be called an elegant crime." Looking at the battery in his hand, the elegant old man displayed a satisfied and elegant smile. "Even I, Moriaty, have fallen on hard times, resorting to petty theft like this."
"But, as my first crime in this amusement park, it's quite thrilling, hehehe."
With a joyful smile, the elegant old man carried the battery and walked towards a distant bar.
Ultimately, his goal was still to attend an interview at the bar, but he happened to come across a careless owner, and he couldn't resist stealing the battery along the way.
