I'm really not a top magician

"Use the caster!" said Sha Tiao Aige.

As soon as these words came out, Waver immediately understood the information contained in them: "Have you found the location of Caster's workshop?"

Sajo Aika nodded towards Waver. "Not only do I know the location of Caster's workshop, I also know its Noble Phantasm. Its Noble Phantasm can be used to test each other's qualifications."

Waver instantly fell into deep thought. Now that the assassin had been dealt with, all the masters, knowing that they would not be at risk of assassination, would begin to act recklessly.

Saber, Lancer, Archer, and the reckless Berserker, after learning about Rider's Noble Phantasm, Waver didn't take it seriously.

But what worried him most was Caster, and now that Aika Sajo suddenly gave him such a cooperation opportunity, Weber felt a little lucky.

"Okay, I promise you!" Weber readily accepted Sajo Aika's invitation.

After briefly discussing some details of tomorrow's collaboration with Sajo Aika, Weber suddenly called out to Sajo Aika:

"How did you know I was here?"

“That’s easy, because I live next door.”

As Sajo Aika said this, she pointed to the house next door. "You and your rider quarrel so much every day. How could I not notice it, Weber?"

Without waiting for Weber to react, Sajo Aige went back to the house next door and went to sleep alone.

After learning the truth, Weber felt a little stomachache for some reason.

However, Rider behind him suddenly said, "This girl is truly a genius. In the past, she could have been my military advisor."

"What do you mean?" Weber seemed to have heard some conspiracy theories.

Rider didn't directly answer Waver's question, but suddenly changed the subject:

"Boy, negotiation is a very interesting thing. The negotiation process is a process of gradually revealing each other's cards. However, a skilled negotiator will not reveal his or her purpose from the beginning."

"This girl, no, this modern King Arthur is quite formidable. He used the King's Banquet to attract my attention from the very beginning. As a king, I cannot back down from such a challenge. And she used this to great effect to draw us in."

"Then she revealed her purpose, hoping to cooperate with us to defeat Caster. This way, not only can we eliminate Caster, a powerful opponent, but we can also take the opportunity of cooperation to find out the truth about my Noble Phantasm. What do you think, is this Wang Li formidable?"

Rider couldn't help but praise Sajo Aika's wisdom.

Hearing this, Weber couldn't help but slap his head.

I am so stupid that I didn't even see through this plot to investigate my intelligence.

However, Waver still looked at Rider angrily:

"But you actually saw through it all. Why did you accept Sha Tiao's invitation?"

"On the one hand, my dignity as a king doesn't allow me to refuse such an invitation. On the other hand, she said that this is a mutual test of each other's talent. In other words, since she can investigate our intelligence, we can also check hers. If she doesn't demonstrate sufficient strength, this King's Banquet cannot be organized."

After hearing Rider's words, Waver felt a little relieved.

but,

He also wanted to know how strong Aika Sajo was.

ps: I’d like to take a look at the big guy’s book “Hey, the Holy Grail!” It has a million words and can be sold at a low price.

Chapter 166 Mashu and Gudako [Additional Update]

Sha Tiao Aige seemed to have a dream:

There is a place——

There is a girl.

A girl who is the embodiment of truth.

The girl who can do it all.

May there be life—wish for it, and life will come into being.

Let there be death—so whisper, and death will spread.

It can be said that the world is connected to her and she is connected to the world.

She's basically all-rounder.

Nothing is impossible.

Everything can be manipulated, achieved, or destroyed. Unable to find joy in this, she established only one rule for her omnipotence.

Don't look at your future.

She, who is equal to the world itself, limits herself.

Rules, restrictions, shackles,

It is really,

Without restrictions, omnipotence would be too boring.

Maintaining one's "humanity" would become meaningless, and even life activities would become a burden. Death would be inevitable.

As it turned out, she was right.

At least she was able to do something.

Wake up from sleep in the morning, open your eyes, breathe, look up at the sky outside the window, listen to the birds singing, and turn your clear eyes to your father.

Finally, I was able to do this and that with magic according to my father's instructions.

Although he cannot shed tears like his father and mother when facing his newborn sister, he can at least poke her cheeks with his fingers to confirm that she is soft, just like other humans.

Although——I don’t feel anything about it.

Finally I can survive.

But, that’s all.

Tick. Tick. The second hand of the clock moves forward.

Tick. Tick. Today becomes tomorrow.

Her spirit became increasingly stagnant.

See it all, own it all, understand it all.

The world and oneself are intertwined and merged into one.

At the end of selflessness, looking at the pure white purgatory, I sit on the throne.

Almost a goddess, so to speak. It's incredibly difficult for humans to survive as humans.

She had no choice but to survive as a living ghost.

But, it's OK. That's it.

She doesn't care.

Even dying while living.

Even living while dying.

I didn't feel any pain, hardship, or sorrow—I just lived like this day by day.

Because there is still fun to look forward to.

That was the "future" she had seen just before she put herself in shackles.

That is, as long as the world remains the world, the "result" will definitely come.

—I shall no longer be bored during that man's apparition—

And that person's name,

It’s called Shatiao Aige!

It seemed like he fell asleep on the table.

After someone suddenly shook her shoulder, Aika Sajo felt her arm go numb, and she raised her head while painfully resisting the morning light.

I seemed to have had some strange dream again.

A strange but clear dream,

It's like I'm peeping into someone else's memories.

I looked up at the time in my mind and it was only 11 o'clock in the morning.

It turns out that I have slept for 7 hours.

This amount of sleep is too much for a 14-year-old kid.

Such water is extremely scarce.

But Sajo Aika couldn't care less. She was very clear about her own talents and was as proficient in theoretical analysis as Weber.

But it is difficult to make any progress in magic practice.

If I didn't have a holy sword in my hand to show off, or if [Shadow] gave me a lucky trick,

Perhaps Shatiao Aige had already been exposed.

Precisely because of our incompetence, we have to struggle even harder.

After all, human beings are such creatures. Even though they know the cruelty of life, they still keep moving forward in order to break the fear.

This is courage!

"Sajo Aika!"

Feeling a pulling force on her shoulder, Sajo Aika turned around and saw a shadow that looked almost identical to her.

"Good morning." Shatiao Aige greeted Shadow with a yawn.

"Hey, it's noon now," said Shadow.

"Then let's have lunch." Said Aika Shatiao.

Seeing that Shadow couldn't do anything to him, Shatiao Aige felt secretly happy.

In the past few days, Shadow always came to harass him. Although sometimes he would kindly come to explain magic knowledge to him, most of the time he would come to make trouble for him with all kinds of snacks that he didn't know where they came from.

After all, the night is long. When you stay up all night to study, those who take out delicious snacks and eat them, and even eat them with relish, are simply beasts!

And Shadow is that kind of person.

If I get angry about such little things, my shadow will be very happy.

What? Why are there so many pleasure-seekers around me?

Thinking of this,

Aika Sajo suddenly felt confused about her life.

However, perhaps because she was a little accustomed to the sudden appearance of shadows, Aika Sajo was no longer surprised by it.

"Your dark circles are so ugly, let me help you." Shadow said to himself and snapped his fingers.

In the blink of an eye,

The dark circles caused by staying up late for a long time disappeared instantly.

"With your ability, if you open a beauty shop, it will definitely be a hit."

Sajo Aika complimented him and was about to stand up by supporting herself on the table with her left hand when she suddenly felt a pain in her wrist, causing her to gasp. She was so painful that she had to let go and sit down again.

Her wrist is still injured.

The last time she fought the Demon Pillar, she activated thirteen restraints, but the powerful recoil of the fully activated Holy Star Sword was too much for a human like her to withstand, and the result was that both her arms were broken.

But in order to come here early to prepare for the Holy Grail War, she only received treatment in the hospital for three days before running away again.

To be honest, her hand has not fully recovered.

When she faced Zouken Matou before, she used the holy sword again. Perhaps the holy sword sensed that her hand was injured, so it only opened and released the restraint, but the powerful power still made her wrist injury worse.

Seeing the pain on Sajo Aika's face, Shadow showed a cheerful smile:

"Your hand is injured like this. You won't be able to use the holy sword anymore."

"So, since you are so powerful and can help me get rid of my dark circles, can you help me treat my hand injury? This is very important to me."

"Seeing you in pain does hurt me, but I refuse!"

Shadow refused bluntly, "Unless you agree to exchange with me, I won't help you. Even if you die, I won't save you."

"You are so heartless. Where is the experience card you promised me?" asked Aika Shatiao.
