Their commission was suspicious.

"Yes, it is." Kirei Kotomine took out the Mercury Sword.

"Hmm, is it another ability to copy other people's weapons? Take it back." Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded.

Compared to Chen Luo's other abilities, Tokiomi Tohsaka is more accepting of the ability to project objects, since projection magic already exists in this world.

Merlin, stabbed in the back, died again, and at this moment the Lesser Grail's charging progress reached level two.

While Merlin was on the verge of death and dissipating into spiritual particles, Chen Luo glanced down at the ground.

There, Chen Luo saw two spirit core fragments and a ball of light.

The Spirit Origin Shard is clearly the same as the infinite Spirit Origin Shard drop ability that Merlin rewards after issuing a quest.

Although Merlin can die infinitely, there is a limit to the number of Spirit Origin Fragments that can be dropped in a single Holy Grail War. Chen Luo suspects that this is an implication that he can participate in Holy Grail Wars everywhere, collect Spirit Origin Fragments, and eventually gather all the Heroic Spirits of the entire Moon World into his possession.

To be honest, if Chen Luo had that ability, he would first recruit 10 or 8 Hundred-Faced Hassans, since Hundred-Faced Hassans are really too useful.

It's okay if he's weak; Chen Luo can strengthen him.

The other orb looked very familiar to Chen Luo; it was the item dropped after defeating an enemy.

It's not a big problem, it won't get lost if I leave it there, I'll just leave it for now.

The most important thing now is to kill Merlin.

Unfortunately, of all the times I killed Merlin, only the first time did I get any items.

It's impossible to kill someone dozens of times and still get a lot of loot from that one person.

Chen Luo's situation is a special case; he resurrected the opponent. If it were someone with the ability to regenerate, the reward would only drop after the opponent was completely defeated.

However, although defeating the Servant Merlin does not result in duplicate item drops, if you defeat the Servant Merlin and then defeat Merlin again, you should still be able to get items.

"By command of the Command Spell, Merlin is resurrected!"

A powerful magic, capable of temporarily altering the world, erupted from the golden command seal, instantly resummoning Merlin.

In the world of the moon, having a lot of magic means you can do whatever you want. As long as you have magic, you can do whatever you want.

"Pfft!" Before Merlin could even utter a word, Chen Luo circled around and stabbed him from behind.

"...Isn't it too fast? I've only just appeared."

"Don't say that. We can just go through the motions. It's no fun if we keep going through the motions." Chen Luo said, drawing his sword.

"You're really boring." Merlin said as he gave Chen Luo the middle finger while dying again.

Merlin has died three times so far.

the fourth time

Fifth

The sixth time...

When Merlin looked at the Lesser Grail, which was already filled with six souls, he figured that was about enough. Then he watched as Chen Luo instantly put away the replica of Irisviel, which served as the Lesser Grail.

Before the Lesser Grail could resonate with the Greater Grail, Chen Luo severed the connection between them and threw it into his backpack.

Then Chen Luo escaped another clone of Irisviel...

"...Chen Luo, tell me honestly, how many times do I have to die?" Merlin suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Uh, I don't know... Can you wait until I've farmed the maximum number of spirit core fragments? I'll compensate you later." Chen Luo scratched his head sheepishly, then thrust out with his sword.

"..." You have absolutely no intention of discussing this with me, do you?

Chapter 712 The Holy Grail, the "Golden" Grail, capable of shaking up human history!

You have to pay for the sins you've committed, even if you have to kneel down.

Merlin vaguely remembered the promise he made when he wanted to hide from Artoria.

[If you help me with this, you can kill me as many times as you want!] Although the original words may not be exactly like that, the meaning is similar.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you can die in peace." Chen Luo made his promise as he stabbed Merlin with his sword.

Although Merlin himself created the Golden Command Seal, he has died countless times, so he deserves some compensation.

As for what kind of compensation to offer, that depends on what the other party wants.

Logically, when five Servant souls are filled in, Irisviel can transform into the Lesser Grail to summon the Greater Grail. However, Chen Luo specifically instructed Morgan, the genius magician from Asgard, to set up a special magic circle on the coffin where Irisviel lay, which could isolate the connection between the Lesser Grail and the Greater Grail to a limited extent.

In short, normally you need 5 Servants to summon the Greater Grail and the Lesser Grail, but now you need to fill 7 to resonate.

In Fuyuki City, possessing the Lesser Grail does not guarantee the summoning of the Greater Grail anywhere.

There are four such places that can summon the Greater Grail, and these are all important locations where ley lines are concentrated.

The Tohsaka family house, the Fuyuki Church, and the newly developed residential area in the east of the city.

These are all places where the spirit is sufficient to perform a chalice descent.

None of these three are suitable for summoning.

After all, the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret.

In addition to these, there is one last one: Yuanzang Mountain.

Therefore, it is feasible to summon directly within the large void.

However, since a "hole" will be created after the Greater Grail is summoned, the location will need to be moved to Ryudong Temple above the Great Hole later.

Otherwise, it might result in a huge hole being punched directly into the top of the large cavity.

......

The fifth "Minor Grail," which contained the souls of six Servants, was tossed into Chen Luo's backpack.

These small Holy Grails are already usable as massive crystals of magical energy. After all, Servants themselves represent an enormous amount of magical energy.

However, if he achieves his goal, Chen Luo definitely won't engage in such a losing proposition as using the Golden Command Seals to revive Merlin in order to accumulate an overflowing Lesser Grail. In a sense, the six Golden Command Seals consumed might be more valuable than the Lesser Grail itself, and the magical power they contain is equally impressive...

Merlin had become numb from Chen Luo's stabbing to death. He was experiencing death to the fullest extent, a feeling he had never experienced before.

After being stabbed to death three more times by Chen Luo, Merlin was just summoned and was preparing to die when he suddenly realized that Chen Luo had not killed him immediately.

"What's wrong? Have you finally had a change of heart?" Merlin asked Chen Luo with a hint of resentment.

Have you, you devil, really learned to be soft-hearted?

"No...it's just that the number of spirit core fragments has reached its limit," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

I obtained a Spirit Origin Fragment by defeating the Spearman, another by turning the Conqueror into a physical body, and finally, after reclaiming control of the Assassin, the Assassin provided one, making a total of three.

Logically, after killing Merlin 33 times, including the previous ones, I should have gotten a total of 36 Spirit Origin Shards. However, when I had 35 Spirit Origin Shards, no more Spirit Origin Shards dropped after killing Merlin.

"Does that mean I died for nothing?" Merlin was taken aback.

"Ah, it wasn't a wasted death. Anyway, you'll fill this Holy Grail eventually, won't you?" Chen Luo said, pointing to the Lesser Holy Grail lying peacefully on the coffin.

"..."

This time, however, Chen Luo didn't rush to send Merlin to his death. Instead, he first collected all the things that had exploded on the ground.

There are a total of 32 spirit origin fragments, which, combined with the three from before, make a total of 35.

Five Spirit Origin Fragments can be combined to form one Spirit Origin, meaning Chen Luo can exchange for seven Servants.

That's exactly the amount needed for one Holy Grail War.

Sigh, why not set the production cap based on the number of Servants in the Moon Grail?

Having 128 Servants isn't too greedy, is it?

As for what Merlin dropped when he died for the first time,

【Nightmare Seed】: Merlin is a hybrid of a nightmare and a human. As a master of illusion, Merlin's special 【trait】can help beings similar to nightmares and nightmare races improve their abilities.

Upon seeing this, Chen Luo subconsciously glanced at the Herrscher of Knowledge who was drinking milk tea and watching him.

"Hmm?" Upon seeing Chen Luo, she looked at her Herrscher of Knowledge, tilted her head, and then made a cute face.

"..."

After throwing all these things into his backpack, Chen Luo walked behind Merlin and stabbed him with a sword.

Merlin dropped this item, and it feels like an alternate world version of the Heart Demon's Guide. Perhaps it can help the Herrscher of Knowledge advance further.

Chen Luo knew that those who possessed the Law of Knowledge could gain valuable things by traveling to countless worlds and achieve self-breakthroughs, but he never expected that the opportunity would fall on Merlin.

Upon closer examination, Merlin's nature is somewhat similar to that of the Herrscher of Knowledge; both are proficient in illusion magic and possess unique physical constitutions.

Since the atmosphere has reached this point, I'll just give this Nightmare Seed to the Herrscher of Knowledge later.

While this thing is indeed useful to Chen Luo, it is certainly not as useful as it would be to the Herald of Knowledge.

The ability of the Law of Knowledge is just one of Chen Luo's many abilities. However, Xiao Shi only possesses the ability of the Law of Knowledge.

Fortunately, Xiao Shi's specialization allowed him to surpass Chen Luo by a considerable margin in the ability of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

In terms of strategic thinking, Chen Luo is definitely far superior to the Law Enforcers of Knowledge, but in certain special situations, the Law Enforcers of Knowledge are still stronger than Chen Luo.

And to be honest, Xiao Shi is becoming less and less like the Herrscher of Knowledge; the other party's abilities have long since gone completely astray.

If Chen Luo were to let the Herrscher of Knowledge consume this Nightmare Seed and evolve it, Chen Luo could later use a small amount of Primogems to acquire the same abilities as the Herrscher of Knowledge through ability correction.

The only difference is that Chen Luo couldn't obtain the mental power boost that comes with the ability seed itself, aside from the enhancement of traits.

However, Chen Luo has far more ways to reach the upper limit of his mental power than the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Chocolate bars, visualization techniques, the Book of Friends, the power of the River God, and so on...

In short, Chen Luo has many ways to improve his mental strength, but there are few Heralds of Knowledge. In addition, the discount between Chen Luo and Heralds of Knowledge is 10%, so if he really wants to make a power correction, it will only cost a few hundred Primogems.

Chen Luo wasn't sure how much of that affection was genuine.

Furthermore, the Herrscher of Consciousness has been staying in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness recently and is unwilling to leave. Isn't it because by staying in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness, the Herrscher of Consciousness can slowly improve its mental power through Chen Luo's Herrscher of Consciousness characteristics?

Of course, Chen Luo also had this effect while staying in the consciousness sea of ​​the Law of Consciousness.

Sigh, kids can't stay home all the time; they need to go out and explore.

"Uh... there are two more times, someone wants to try..." Chen Luo turned to look at the bar.

Chen Luo just stabbed Merlin twice more, and now he only needs two more souls to summon the Holy Grail.

But Merlin no longer drops Spirit Origin Fragments, so it doesn't matter who kills him.

Before Chen Luo could finish speaking, a silver Gungnir suddenly flew out of the bar and headed straight for Merlin.

Morgan, who had just made the throwing motion in the bar, slowly sat back down in his seat.

Hidden strength and name.

"By Command Spell, Merlin, shield from pain." Chen Luo immediately used a red Command Spell he had created himself.

That Gungnir looks painful.

"The wicked witch Morgan!" Merlin uttered his final accusation, and then he vanished.

"Hmph." Finally killing Merlin with his own hands made Morgan feel a little better, but he was dismissive of Merlin's final curse.

"Do you want to give it a try?" Morgan looked at his sister from Pan-Human History.

"No, no need." Artoria shook her head.

This is still too stimulating.

"This is the last time. After this death, your memories should be transferred back to your original body. Although you were originally the original body's consciousness. Remember to come to the bar." After saying his final goodbye to Merlin, Chen Luo used his backstab once again.

This sword, which supposedly guarantees a fatal blow to anyone who receives it, combined with the act of being stabbed, seems to have a one-hit kill trigger rate of over 90%.

Even if it doesn't kill instantly, the true damage it deals can finish off Merlin directly.

This time, Chen Luo did not use the golden command seal, but quietly watched Merlin's last soul flow into the Lesser Grail.

Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and the previously motionless coffin instantly activated a magic circle, teleporting Chen Luo and [Irisviel], who was receiving soul infusion on the coffin, to Ryudou Temple above.

Ryudong Temple had already been vacated, and there was no one inside.

If something happens later, just let the gas explode.

The church is responsible for handling the aftermath.
