I really didn't want to burn it.

Li Ang revealed a "I'm not some kind of demon" smile, then plunged his knife down—

Sizzle.

With a strange tearing sound, Leon dug something out of Jason's body.

Snapped.

Something resembling a purple snail fell onto the ice.

The little creature opened its countless eyes and observed its surroundings. When it realized that it had left Jason's body, it panicked and twisted its body to try to escape, but was stopped by a long spear.

"do not move."

Achilles offered a cold reminder.

"So it was you who possessed Jason?"

The purple snail immediately trembled.

On the other side, after removing the Demon Pillar from Jason's body, Leon shot Jason in the face with both hands while he was unconscious.

"Hey, are you awake yet? If you are, give me a shout."

With Li Ang's efforts, Jason finally slowly opened his eyes.

"Um...what...damn it! Why am I not wearing underwear?!"

That night, Kira Yamato's scream, as if he had been sexually assaulted, echoed through the Mediterranean starry sky.

Chapter 51 Ritsuka: Shock! I'm actually Gin! (ΩДΩ)

Under the sunlight, Drake lay on a deck chair on the Golden Hind, leisurely watching Achilles and Jason busy on the deck, holding a glass of ice water in his hand.

Although the captain and the boss wanted to drink more at this moment, the liquor cabinet had exploded, so they could only make do with ice water.

Fortunately, with Li Ang's rune magic, repairing the ship's hull was a breeze, and there was plenty of ice. But making wine out of thin air was a bit of a challenge.

Therefore, alcohol became Drake's sore spot; even the best-tasting ice water couldn't counteract Drake's craving for alcohol.

Whenever Drake felt the urge to drink, he would become even more resentful of the two men on deck.

"You two, get moving right now, don't slack off!"

"understood."

"Tch, why me?"

Achilles and Jason reluctantly agreed.

"Why do we have to do this together when it could be easily solved with magic?" Jason complained under his breath.

"Because we smashed a big hole in the boat, they need us to compensate them."

Achilles answered as he mopped the floor.

Jason retorted unhappily, "You're the one who smashed the ship, you're the one who ruined the wine, what does it have to do with me?"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have caused those losses, would I?"

"That was made by the snail that possessed me; it has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

Jason is now somewhat resentful.

Achilles chuckled. "Go tell that to the man in the cabin."

Jason fell silent.

That's right, the reason these two great Greek heroes were working on the Golden Hind wasn't because of a change of heart or because they accepted the Golden Hind's commission, but simply because they couldn't defeat Leon.

If he could, Achilles would have driven his chariot away long ago. Why would the son of the sea goddess be wiping the deck here?

"What kind of monster is that man? Not only could he subdue me directly, but he could also cut that evil thing out."

"If I remember correctly, he was a very important person..."

Achilles' lips twitched slightly.

As the son of the sea goddess, he had heard stories of certain powerful figures from his mother.

So when he saw the methods used by Leon to subdue Jason, he already had some guesses.

The existence of Athena and Chloris further confirmed Achilles's suspicions.

and so……

"Just focus on your work. If you behave well, you won't suffer any losses."

"Too."

Jason nodded dejectedly, then buried himself in his work.

Even though several days have passed, Jason still feels lingering fear whenever he recalls that headfirst fall.

Achilles and Jason were unaware that, besides Drake, the man they were talking about was also watching them as they worked.

However, Li Ang was not spying on Ying Zheng; he was simply glancing at him sporadically while on the phone with him.

"So, how's the thing I asked you to confirm going?"

Li Ang leaned against the railing, ostensibly watching the "Greek freaks" working below, but in reality, he was communicating with Ying Zheng.

"Han Xin's weight has indeed increased dramatically recently for no apparent reason, and Yu'er also shows the trend of becoming inhuman, as you mentioned."

Can you handle this?

Leon asked.

Regardless of Han Xin's weight problem, the physical abnormality of his godson must be addressed.

Although Xiang Yu might be able to hook up with a true ancestor after becoming a cyborg, his godfather Li Ang still hopes that his godson is a complete human being.

"I have already found a way to control their 'alienation' and am trying to reverse the process to restore them to normal."

"Yeah, that's good."

Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, Lao Zheng of Qin was a synonym for reliability.

"Speaking of which, what did you do with that demon god?"

"It's sealed away. There are two goddesses on board, just in time."

The Phonius that possessed Jason was also unlucky; sealed away by the combined efforts of the goddesses Athena and Chloris, it could only make a small wooden box its temporary home.

After being captured, Feuernos remained resolute, refusing to utter a single word and simply waiting to die.

Li Ang did not let it have its way.

After all, death is useless against the Demon Pillars; these guys will simply respawn in the Temple of Time after they die.

Therefore, Li Ang arranged for Jingmi to watch the box quietly, while Chloris tried to develop a poison that would make the Demon Pillar speak the truth, intending to use the drug to make this guy talk.

If they succeed, Li Ang believes they will be able to obtain a considerable amount of intelligence.

However, the side effect of this move is that Li Ang has recently become very careful about what he drinks.

Because Chloris would always secretly put some of her "trial works" into the water that Leon drank.

Although Li Ang knew that his love for Chloris was real, his womanizing nature was also real.

If Chloris is only asking about his feelings for her, then Li Ang has nothing to worry about.

But if he were to be asked about other women, then Li Ang would…

Even when the two of them were inseparable hundreds of years ago, Chloris said she didn't care if Leon had other women.

But you can just ignore what women say; taking it seriously is a losing proposition. Besides, Chloris is a goddess, after all.

To take it a step further, Chloris said those words hundreds of years ago; who knows what this Flower Goddess is thinking now.

"Sure enough, from now on, I'll try using runes to drink water first..."

Li Ang looked up at the sun and muttered to himself, forgetting even when Ying Zheng was speaking to him.

"Li Ang? Are you listening?"

"What? What did you say?"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, "Are you daydreaming again?"

"Sorry, I was just thinking about my own things..."

"It's a woman, right?"

"..."

If it weren't for the [Territory Creation EX] skill, Li Ang would have definitely suspected that Ying Zheng had been given the wrong class.

With such a powerful intuition, he should be one of the top three riders.

"So, what do you want to ask me?"

"What I wanted to ask is, now that you've already comforted Ritsuka, when does she plan to summon a Servant?"

"It depends on the needs. She just signed Drake, so she probably doesn't have any plans to sign other Servants anytime soon. What's wrong?"

"Next time she summons, let me know in advance, and I'll find a way to send the Servant to her."

"You're sending a Servant?"

"Yes, I have already brought all the Servants summoned by the Holy Grail under my command, and their loyalty is absolutely guaranteed."

"I plan to send them over to you as your assistants using Ritsuka's Servant Summoning System, what do you think?"

If all the Servants of Chaldea were Servants under the command of Qin...

That scene was so thrilling, just thinking about it is exciting.

If that were to happen, Ritsuka would be the Gin of Chaldea.

therefore……

"Hmm, a very constructive proposal. Are you sure it will succeed?"

How could Li Ang possibly let such an interesting thing go by?

"As long as you secretly add your own magic power to provide the coordinates for the Holy Grail on my side when Ritsuka is summoning it, that will be fine."

Ying Zheng's answer was very casual, as if he were talking about what to eat for a late-night snack.

However, Li Ang still raised his question: "If they are all followers whom the Qin Dynasty has met before, won't they become suspicious?"

"It's alright. As long as one Servant is teleported to your side, I can continue summoning Servants using the available slots in the Holy Grail."

Well, it seems like every card pool Ritsuka draws from now on is manipulated by Ying Zheng behind the scenes.

However, considering Ritsuka's inherently unlucky nature—she managed to pull Christmas Attila even when summoning King A—maybe she'll be a bit luckier after Ying Zheng helps out?

"So, what kind of servant do you want first, Lu Bu?"

"No, I want Red Hare."

Li Ang's choice of the beast was certainly not entirely due to his own perverse tastes.

Despite its strange appearance, Red Hare is actually a very useful Servant. Its high mobility can help others quickly approach the target, and it can also be used to help the fragile Ritsuka quickly get away from the battlefield.

Given the necessity of Chaldea's current existence, Leon felt that Ritsuka's safety should not be overlooked.

"I understand. Just let me know in advance when you need to."

"OK, I'll hang up now."

Li Ang could already see the islands in the distance—their destination for this voyage.

This is an unnamed island, but it is inhabited by the three Gorgon sisters, famous from Greek mythology.

This information was obtained by Li Ang and his group through an owl that claimed to be a divine messenger.

“I thought the Gorgon sisters should be dead by now.”
