Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

"You showed me your sincerity, so I must respond."

Morgan rejected Jiang You's proposal. She had no need to restrain Jiang You in this way, not with her strength. Moreover, Jiang You was summoned as her Servant. Although she could see that the Command Spell had no effect on Jiang You, she could control the supply of magic power to Jiang You. Jiang You's Noble Phantasm also required magic power to maintain.

"Then I should give you an identity to facilitate your movements within my country..."

Jiang You immediately thought of the identity of "Morgan's husband," but he certainly wouldn't ask for it directly. He and Morgan weren't that familiar with each other yet. Besides, Morgan's "ex" was still working a sewing machine, and Morgan might have PTSD if he mentioned it.

"So, how's the clerk?"

Jiang You thought of a poor demon who was beheaded by Demon Cui at a meeting. He was also killed by his boss's daughter at work. As a fellow worker, he decided to give him a hand.

"That's fine, it's fine if it's just about identity."

Of course, Morgan couldn't let Jiang You directly take on the job of clerk. Besides not knowing Jiang You's corresponding abilities, there were also some things that he couldn't access at the moment.

"I'll give you a token that proves your identity, and I'll leave Bawanxi to you for now. You said my ending wasn't pretty, right?"

Morgan hadn't considered giving up. She'd come this far over two thousand years, and she would persevere for Britain no matter what. She just wanted to pave a way out for Yao Cui. Jiang You's strength wasn't impressive, but his Noble Phantasm was perfectly adequate for protecting others. Furthermore, Morgan was certain she'd be in Yao Cui's deck, and she could even continue to protect him. "Your Noble Phantasm can pull Servants to other worlds. If possible, when that time comes, please take Yao Cui with you and leave here."

"Is Her Majesty the Queen of such a character that she becomes weak before the battle?"

Jiang You shook his head, he had definitely won Morgan's favor.

"Now that I'm here, I'll definitely help you. Didn't Yao Cui's ending change because of my words? Your ending will be easy for me too. And you see, there will be Merlin by Artoria's side, so let me be your Merlin."

"Merlin?"

Morgan laughed. Even the real Merlin was no match for her, and the ending of Altria in pan-human history wasn't particularly wonderful. She couldn't even tell if Jiang You was blessing or cursing her.

"You're a half-baked magician, you should learn some magic first before you say this. The contract has been established. I will respond to your call when you need me. In return, Yao Cui will be in your hands for the time being."

"Don't worry, but don't expect me to teach her how to torture and kill others."

Jiang You knew that Morgan essentially wanted Yao Cui to survive, and bloodlust was just a process, not the desired result.

"As long as you can make her live happily, you can do whatever you want."

Since Jiang You could guess what he was thinking, Morgan didn't insist too much, "But if you let her get hurt again because of this, I will never let you go!"

"Leave it to me. If you can't do it, I'll bring my head to you!"

Jiang You said it was very easy, and if it didn't work, you could just reload the save file, which guaranteed to be a perfect save.

New Darlington, in front of Yao Cui's residence.

"Sir Secretary, I will report to Her Majesty the Queen. Please be careful. The Fairy Knight Tristan has a rather volatile personality. Given your strength... please be cautious."

The Queen Knight Fairy, who was acting as a watchdog and guard, kindly reminded Jiang You that it wasn't the first or second time that Demon Cui had slaughtered other fairies for no reason. Jiang You's skill level was indeed inferior to that of the Fairy.

"Well, don't worry. Her Majesty the Queen dared to send me to take over Beryl's job. She must have given me a solution."

Jiang You thanked the Queen Knight. It seemed there were still many fairies worth saving. Of course, it was also possible that he was simply enjoying playing the role of a knight. Regardless, the outcome was positive.

When Jiang You pushed open Yao Cui's door, he saw a girl crying and sorting her collection of high heels.

The crying Yao Cui is cute, but it would be better if the feet didn't get chopped off in some of the high heels.

Chapter 216 Jiang You: I came here to be a third-level yellow-haired person, maybe a fourth-level one?

Morgan is a genius, having managed to turn a goblin who was a good guy in previous lives into this state. He's made it so that the only options left for survival are killing and being killed, like a diode.

Although this guy's nature is really not good now, collecting shoes and even cutting off feet, I hope the fairy doesn't have athlete's foot.

"who are you?"

Yao Cui looked at Jiang You. The knight outside must be no small figure to have let him in. You have to know that those Queen Knights who can report directly to Morgan are not something that anyone can command. In her eyes, Jiang You is just an ordinary human. Although his magic skills are good, they are lower than hers after being named by her mother. "Human? No... Not a fairy either."

"Me? My name is Jiang You, and I can be considered a Servant. You can just think of me as a human made of magic."

Jiang You briefly introduced his identity, there was no need to hide it.

"I will take over Beryl's job from now on."

"Beryl!"

Yao Cui jumped up at the name, knocking her neatly arranged high heels all over the floor. Beryl was now incarcerated by her mother. "Why? What qualifications do you have to replace him? Get out of here!"

Jiang You knew Yao Cui's feelings for Beryl. This girl simply had no one close to her. Despite being a lord, she didn't really have much of an opinion. She just did whatever Morgan said. Morgan didn't say anything, just followed Beryl's lead. She didn't ask why, just being well-behaved and obedient.

"I'm sorry, this is what Her Majesty the Queen wants."

Jiang You directly used the tiger skin to pull the tiger skin. Anyway, Morgan also agreed, so the result would be the same no matter what.

"This is my token of loyalty. As the Queen's secretary, I naturally have to share Her Majesty's worries."

"It is indeed the secretary's keepsake..."

Yao Cui stared at Jiang You. If it was just a clerk, there was nothing to be afraid of. This meant that his mother didn't care much about this guy. The clerk's status was very different from Beryl's, so she didn't order her to use her full strength.

"Then, even if I kill you, my mother won't blame me. She said I would be more willful and cruel! I don't like you, I will only recognize Beryl!"

Seeing Yao Cui take out the bow, Jiang You's face turned black. This guy is completely clueless: "My dear Princess, please have some common sense. Or are you going to disobey the Queen's orders? In your heart, Master Morgan is not as good as Beryl, right? Don't let Master Morgan down again and again!"

If it was really an ordinary clerk, Yao Cui would have just killed him. In the plot, she killed the clerk who presided over the meeting at Morgan's meeting. But now, even if it wasn't Jiang You, it represented Morgan's intention. If she really did it, Morgan would not say anything, but he would definitely be very disappointed. Even if she wanted to kill Jiang You again, it shouldn't be now.

"How could that be? How could I possibly disobey Mother's orders?"

Sure enough, once Morgan’s flag was raised, Yao Cui became timid.

"It's just that Beryl..."

Without giving Yao Cui time to digest it, Jiang You continued, "This guy is really something. Can't he just explain it to you properly? Why does he have to make it like this? Just cancel the name Caster and call him Riddler instead! Listen carefully, Yao Cui, she asked you to kill Beryl with your own hands because she cares about you! Beryl is a despicable liar and a twisted man who will kill others for pleasure. The spell he teaches you can corrupt the human soul. You will watch yourself rot from the inside out. After that, he will throw you on the bed to die without even looking at you."

Yao Cui certainly wouldn't doubt Beryl, her longtime companion, based on Jiang You's one-sided account. She naturally trusted Beryl more. Furthermore, her values ​​were quite distorted, though Morgan was partly to blame: "Killing for pleasure isn't a virtue! Besides, you've never appeared before me or Mother, so how could you possibly know there was something wrong with Beryl's spell? Don't think I wouldn't dare kill you just because you're Mother's secretary! Swallow your lies and apologize to Beryl!"

"I know. You must have been slandering me in front of Mother! I'm going to break your limbs and clear Beryl's name in front of Mother!"

Yao Cui became more and more excited as she spoke. The magic power in her body began to surge, and the heels of her high heels began to glow blood red. If she wasn't worried about making Morgan unhappy, she would probably step on Jiang You's heart and start spinning in the next second.

"Bhavanshi!"

Jiang You suddenly called out her real name, and Yao Cui suddenly tensed up.

"You...how did you know that?"

Her true name represented the essence of a fairy. If other elves knew that she was just a filthy, vampire-sucking low-level fairy, even Morgan's protection wouldn't be enough to stop the rumors. Instead, she would tarnish Morgan's reputation. If Jiang You didn't give her a reasonable explanation, she would take action.

"Morgan told me."

Jiang You gave an answer that made Yao Cui's brain explode.

"Although I thought about resolving it through conversation, I really underestimated your feelings for Beryl."

Jiang You scratched his head. Sure enough, Mushroom really liked this kind of thing. Unfortunately, this time he was going to be a yellow-haired guy, the kind that his husband was currently (? ) committing.

"It's a pity that he just used you as a tool. I thought about it a long time ago. Words are too powerless—"

"—So, I've already said hello to Morgan."

Jiang You was too lazy to add the word "sir". Not only would it seem too flattering, it would also seem like padding the word count.

"Next, I will take you to see Beryl. Let the facts prove what I say. You will know after you duel with him once."

"duel?!"

Yao Cui became alert. Morgan had asked her to kill Beryl before, and sure enough, the matter was brought up again.

"There's no way I'm going to attack Beryl. Forget it! I'll explain it to Mother. Even if she trusts you, I'll convince her!"

"It's quite troublesome to explain, so let's just have a fight!"

Jiang You directly challenged Yao Cui to a duel.

"?"

It was also the first time that Yao Cui had seen such a magical thing, and she was a little worried that it was some strange curse.

"My Noble Phantasm has captured you within its range. You can read the effects carefully. By the way, Morgan is definitely in your deck. Only very important people would be in your deck. Morgan must care about you very much."

Morgan was like a keyword that could trigger Yao Cui's dependency path. Before Jiang You could finish his words, Yao Cui had already agreed to the duel.

Chapter 217 Beryl: A future without a future is not the future I want!

"My Noble Phantasm builds a deck based on a person's past experiences and future. In other words, Beryl, as an important part of your life, what he does to you must also... Are you listening?"

At this time, Yao Cui was looking at a card and grinning foolishly. Jiang You could guess who it was just by using his toes.

"Cards can summon corresponding people. Will Mother be angry that I summoned her so casually?"

After calming down, Yao Cui began to worry again. She longed for Morgan's attention, but was afraid of affecting Morgan's normal work.

"You can rest assured about this. Even if the card is in your deck, you won't accept the summon if the original owner doesn't acknowledge it. Specifically, you won't be able to draw it from your deck."

Of course, the search can forcibly pull the card from the deck, against the original owner's wishes. But don't spoil the fun at this time.

"Really? I take that back. You're still somewhat useful."

Yao Cui said this, but Jiang You's previous accusation against Beryl was still quite hateful in her eyes. "But, it's only slightly better than those useless Jura."

"So have you looked at the cards involving yourself and Beryl?"

Jiang You reminded Yao Cui that this guy had actually been shaken in his heart for a long time and was just subconsciously avoiding it.

"Take a look and tell me what you think."

Yao Cui's face darkened. The cards were almost all about the future, like prophecies. She finally understood why Morgan cared so much about the Child of Prophecy. Once she knew about it, it was like having a sword dangling from her neck, drawing closer and closer until it cut her throat. It was a suffocating feeling.

Yao Cui fully demonstrated his determination to fight to the end: "I want to see Beryl, right here."

"Then let's duel. This is a show duel. But don't expect me to hold back."

Yao Cui's attitude towards Jiang You is not very good. Jiang You is worried that once he enters a weak state, Yao Cui will come up and chop him into pieces, entering Bad End.

"It doesn't matter. I just want to talk to him. You just watch from the side. You have nothing to do here!"

Yao Cui's mind was not on winning or losing.

"Go, go, go."

Jiang You said perfunctorily, really hoping that she could maintain her current mentality when she used those cards, "Then you can start first."

Jiangyou LP 4000.

Yao Cui LP 4000.

"I'll attack first!"

Yao Cui drew five cards from her deck. She looked at the cards in her hand and smiled slightly.

"You see, Beryl still has me in mind. He got it right with the first card. I Normal Summon [Beryl]!"

Beryl

Master 4 stars, attack power 1800.

A gentle man dressed in gangster style and wearing glasses landed on the field. His pointed ears like a fairy were extremely eye-catching.

"Hmm, isn't this the child's room? He was actually summoned here."

Beryl saw Yao Cui behind him and smiled. "You did a good job! But Morgan will find out soon, and you'll be the target of his wrath. Let's run away quickly. From now on, we'll just have to rely on each other."

"It's a pity that your happiness is in vain. Don't you realize that you have limited room to maneuver?"

After Beryl leaves, he will return to his cell. Jiang You kindly reminds him that his treasure cannot help him escape from prison.

"This is, a Noble Phantasm?"

Beryl then turned his attention to Jiang You. Jiang You was dressed in modern casual clothes, which didn't fit in with the surroundings. His sloppy appearance didn't give him the air of a Heroic Spirit. "This is your Noble Phantasm, but isn't this place unwelcome for Servants from Panhuman History?"

"Haha, don't worry about my identity. I'm just an ordinary clerk passing by. Morgan asked me to take your place."

Jiang You shrugged. Beryl was destined to be a stepping stone for Yao Cui's growth. It was a shame that after all that had happened, Yao Cui couldn't trust him so easily anymore. It was roughly equivalent to a (-30% favorability) debuff.

When the favorability level reaches a suitable level, we can use the dark game to make a promise.

Jiang You felt like he was about to become the Promised Superman.

"Beryl, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. It's very likely that he was the one who instigated Mother to give you this order."

Yao Cui still holds out hope for Beryl, "As long as you can prove yourself."
