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

"Then I will change myself and Subject Morse into Defense Position, and cover this card, ending my turn."

Yao Cui ended his turn directly.

[Yao Cui] Attack power 2500 → Defense power 2300.

[Morse Experiment] Attack 1500 → Defense 2500.

Beryl LP 3000 → LP 2500.

Yaocui LP 4000→ LP 3500→ LP 3250.

"?"

Beryl hadn't expected this outcome. If Yao Cui didn't take action, he would become passive. "You could have won by attacking directly. Why?"

"You are so anxious, you really want to attack Xuankeng."

Yao Cui's mouth cracked from ear to ear. Because they had been very close in the past, her and Beryl's decks had a lot of overlap, so she dared to use this method to slowly wear down the opponent. "Wouldn't it make me happier to watch you slowly die?"

Beryl drew his card for this turn, and as expected, it was [Beryl]. However, this did not change the current situation. As long as Yao Cui did not attack, he would be directly destroyed by the effect of [Yao Cui]. There was no way to keep any servants on the field.

In other words, he must break through Yao Cui's defense within two draws and defeat Yao Cui directly, otherwise he will inevitably lose this dark game.

Beryl knew that his deck didn't have such a card. Furthermore, Yao Cui still had a cover card on the field.

Something bad had happened. Beryl showed a look of despair.

"Can we reconcile?"

"Are you kidding me at this moment?"

Yao Cui smiled like a flower.

Chapter 224 Medea: When will new Casters be added?

Then Jiang You saw an extremely fierce and blood-burning duel. Beryl drew [Forbidden Experiment] in the middle. He wanted to discard [Morgan] again to obtain a derivative as a price to activate [Corrupted Curse], but unfortunately it was blown up by Yao Cui with [Origin Bullet].

Then Beryl watched helplessly as his health dropped by 500 LP, 500 LP, until only the last 500 were left. Now Beryl only had a [Corruption Curse] in his hand that he could never use. As soon as his turn ended, he would die.

Just like the rules of this chapter, a duel doesn't allow for inaction and delaying the game. Therefore, even if Beryl doesn't complete his turn, the death script won't stop. Yao Cui watched the countdown to the final seconds of his action timer and said goodbye to the person he once loved second best.

"Just like you said, one day people get tired of what they like, and now I am tired of you. So, it's time to say goodbye to Beryl."

As the countdown ended, Beryl's health was successfully reduced to zero, and a hand stretched out from the darkness pinched Beryl's head.

In his final moments, he called out the name of the person he cared about most: "Matthew."

Then, a brilliant crystal rolled out from the darkness.

"Matthew? That's really intimate! I mean, why did this guy treat me like this? Turns out he was looking for another woman."

Yao Cui became even angrier after hearing this. Even if it was unwanted waste, she would not allow anyone else to touch it.

"I must find that Matthew, chop off her limbs, hollow out her organs bit by bit until she screams in agony and dies, and then bury them both, one in the north and the other in the south!"

Jiang You then remembered that there seemed to be a Matthew here acting as a popsicle stick. Because of his involvement, the completion of this cycle of reincarnation was still in doubt. He would find an opportunity to thaw Matthew. Morgan would probably be happy if he remembered. As for how to complete this cycle of reincarnation, he would leave it to the world to figure out.

"Beryl's love is unrequited. His love is beyond the comprehension of a sane person. Don't take your anger out on Matthew."

Jiang You thought that Matthew was also a succubus, and in the small country of Britain, there were two heavyweights who loved Matthew to death (in the physical sense). Jiang You said that he also wanted this passive ability, so that cards would flow to him from all directions.

"I don't care! Also, is this Beryl's soul crystal?"

Yao Cui picked up the medium-sized soul crystal, played with it, then took out a hammer and hit it a few times, as if to vent his previous dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, although this thing looked fragile, it was actually very hard. Yao Cui's wrist hurt from the recoil.

"Of course it's his."

Jiang You glanced at his warehouse. This thing would only increase favorability if given to someone who needed it. For example, if he gave it to Shirou Emiya, his favorability wouldn't increase much, so he still had quite a few crystals left. "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"What's the use of this thing?"

Yao Cui wanted to destroy it more than anything else, so that Beryl would never be able to regenerate. She took out her bow and struck it a few more times, but it also had no effect.

Jiang Youneng now understood why Yao Cui was looked down upon by the Queen Knights in terms of magic. He wondered how much effort Morgan had put in to teach her how to perform those attacking magics.

"Then don't take it out on me. Soul crystals are essentially blocks of super-concentrated magic power. If you can't use them, give them to Morgan. She'll love them."

"Is this kind of thing really going to make my mother happy?"

Yao Cui was skeptical, but still took back the hammer.

"It does have strong magical power, but isn't one too little? We should at least gather ten and package them together, right? Let's go capture a few on the road and make soul crystals out of them. The quality of the fairy souls in the royal city should be quite good."

"It has to be you."

Jiang You gave a thumbs up to Yao Cui. This guy's thinking circuit has now been finalized. He can be called a bastard. "He simply possesses astonishing wisdom."

"Of course, it's their honor to become a mother's magic."

Yao Cui did not hear Jiang You's sarcasm, but instead puffed out his chest and looked proud.

Then Jiang You couldn't help but punch her on the top of her head.

"Can you please use your brain a little! They were working for your mother, and then you just went up and ripped their souls out. Are you worried that Morgan's throne is too secure?!"

From the events of the Fang and Wing Clans, it's clear that even the most spontaneous fairies still harbor hatred and loyalty. It's true that Yao Cui rules Britain with absolute power, but she still needs people to do the work. Morgan's staff is so low right now that she needs to deploy dozens of clones to keep up.

By the way, Jiang You still couldn't understand why Morgan let Yao Cui kill the clerk in the conference room at will. How could other people resist turning against him?

Yao Cui was about to explode, but because of the matter concerning Morgan, she swallowed her words back.

"Then send this one over?"

"Believe me, this thing is worth much more than you think."

Jiang You urged Yao Cui to deliver the things quickly, and he also planned to go back to the world of the Fifth War to buy some things, so he would not disturb the mother and daughter while they were together.

"Let's meet up at your residence then. I need to go out for a while."

"Go ahead. Don't get in my way."

Yao Cui agreed to Jiang You's proposal. She was happy to be alone and free. Jiang You would have to say something about everything she did. If it weren't for Morgan's attitude, she would have killed Jiang You long ago.

"Also, remember this. If Mother is not satisfied, I will make sure you are in trouble!"

Then Yao Cui saw Jiang You disappear directly in front of him without any signs, not even any fluctuation of magic power.

Jiang You first arrived at the timeline of the Fifth War. He remembered that he wanted to bring Yao Cui some high heels. Modern craftsmanship was much more refined and distinctive than the goblins' craftsmanship, but the materials were too ordinary and had no enchantment. He didn't know if Yao Cui would be satisfied.

Jiang You, who didn't know much about high heels, went straight to the most upscale shoe store and bought almost all the different styles of high heels. After all, it was Atram's money, so Jiang You didn't feel bad about it, not to mention that Atram himself didn't have any objections.

When Medea saw Jiang You pulling a truck full of high heels to ask her to enchant, she felt that in Jiang You's eyes she was simply a useful enchanting tool bench.

When will Jiang You find a new Caster? Medea looked up at the sky speechlessly.

Chapter 225: Yao Cui, go and ring the pilgrimage bell!

"That's all I have. Come back to me in a week!"

Despite her overwork, Medea had only managed to enchant a dozen or so pairs of high heels. While she often stayed up late to craft models of heroic spirits, model-making was a hobby for her, while enchanting high heels was pure torture. Furthermore, Jiang You had come to her out of the blue, without even making an appointment.

"If you do this again next time, I'll charge you!"

"Isn't the reward of one soul crystal enough? Medea, you are so greedy."

Taking advantage of Medea's high favorability towards him, Jiang You wanted to get it for free.

"Don't you even look at what you're doing! If you were asking me to enchant a weapon, that would be fine, but what are these, high heels!?"

Medea pointed at the women's high heels scattered all over the floor. "One hundred and fourteen pairs in total. How many women did you find out there? If you don't give me an explanation, I'm going to tell Illya today."

"This thing is a weapon! Otherwise, why would I ask you to enchant it with Durability II and Sharpness III?"

"Who are you kidding! And please don't use that term to abbreviate my strengthening magic! It's so cheap!"

Medea slammed the table in dissatisfaction. Even Jason couldn't tell such a low-level lie.

But Yao Cui did use high heels as a weapon of attack, Jiang You did not lie.

"Simple and easy to understand is the best way!"

Jiang You stuffed all the dozen or so pairs of enchanted shoes into his inventory and said, "See you next week."

"Going to another world again."

Medea saw Jiang You disappear again, and her shop fell silent for a moment. She felt as if something was missing. "Come to think of it, Jason has been missing quite a lot lately. It seems he gets irritated when I treat him a little bit better. It's time to teach him a lesson (?)."

When Jiang You saw Yao Cui again, this guy was reading a book and humming a song, and he was obviously in a very good mood.

"You're quite useful, aren't you?"

Yao Cui's favorability suddenly rose, and an email reminded Jiang You that he had received a card of Yao Cui himself. It should be the effect of the soul crystal.

"It's been a long time since my mother praised me. She said that thing was of great help to her... Hehe... I'll just acknowledge you a little bit for that."

Before Jiang You could respond, Yao Cui stood up and pulled Jiang You outside, completely ignoring the fact that it was already night.

"I've decided. I want to collect a lot of soul crystals. I've also prepared some 'actors' for my massacre theater, and they'll be perfect materials. Jiang You, capture them and make them into your Noble Phantasm."

When Yao Cui thought about hearing the wailing again and getting Morgan's praise, he couldn't help but hum softly.

"Just stop it. From now on, your Massacre Theater won't be able to hold any performances! We need to start creating a savior persona. You can continue to act willfully, but you can't do anything that causes the death of people or fairies!"

How could a savior kill anyone he saw? Jiang You quickly stopped him.

"Why, it would be so boring if I couldn't even do the things I like!"

Yao Cui complained dissatisfiedly.

"Why do you keep doing these things? Is it because you enjoy it, or because Morgan will praise you for it?"

Because she had never been loved by anyone, and because her mother, Morgan, only praised her when she bullied the weak, she learned that this was the only way to be happy. Jiang You felt the need to slightly correct Yao Cui's character. If Morgan hadn't been so strong, her subordinates would have mutinied long ago. This was one of the reasons why Morgan ultimately died before the throne.

"Of course I did. I wanted to do this myself. This is who I really am. A vampire fairy who steals blood from humans, a devilish Bavanshi!"

Yao Cui actually didn't know, but since her mother wanted her to do this, she was born this way. So she repeatedly emphasized her identity.

"So you don't plan to help Morgan consolidate his royal power, and you don't want any praise?"

If you can't figure out this kind of thing, it's better to put the two things on the scale and compare them. Yao Cui's body will automatically respond.

"That won't work!"

As expected, her instincts outstripped her thinking, and Yao Cui hastily refused. She ultimately agreed to Jiang You's request, as Jiang You had helped her earn Morgan's praise.

"Then I'll listen to you, but if that doesn't work, you'll be the first to perform when the theater reopens!"

"Good good."

Yao Cui's words posed no threat to Jiang You, even though this kid was someone who could really do such a thing.

"First, we've confirmed that the Dark Duel can remove Morse's curse. Once we demonstrate this to the other fairies, they'll voluntarily worship you. If there's no prophecy, we don't need to prepare anything. We can simply present the results. The title of savior will appear directly on your head."

"But the problem is, that prophecy exists, and it's been around for thousands of years. If anyone else rings the Pilgrimage Bell, your identity will be questioned." And Yao Cui needs a legitimate reason to gain this special ability. After all, you can't just claim it suddenly, right? "So we have to seize this identity before anyone else. We have to ring the Pilgrimage Bell before the true Child of Prophecy appears."

“I like this way!”

Yao Cui was excited. Being a savior who deceived the world and stole the name was too fitting for a villain. Using a false name to deceive the entire British nation was too much fun.

"But only the Destined One can ring that thing, right?"

"We don't need to actually ring the bell, we just need to make others think you have."

Jiang You had already thought of a plan. As long as Yao Cui began to demonstrate his ability to save Morse from disaster, no one would doubt whether he had really rung the Pilgrimage Bell. "With your eccentric personality, it makes perfect sense for you to suddenly ring the bell on a whim, right? We don't need an audience, we just need someone to hear the bell ring."

"Yeah, you're much more useful than Beryl!"

Yao Cui also felt that this was something she would do. She not only wanted to ring the bell, but also wanted to smash the bell, so that Morgan would not be troubled by the matter of the Son of Prophecy.

"But there's another question. What will happen to my mother if I ring the bell?"

"This question is also very simple, you only need to knock once. As a princess and Morgan's heir, you are naturally the future 'true king'." Jiang You took out a crystal crown ornament that matched the crystal shoes. This thing was also enchanted by Medea with defensive magic. It was beautiful and practical.

Jiang You put the bell on Yao Cui's head with a solemn expression, "Then, the Pilgrimage Bell has also been given other meanings. It is not only the pilgrimage of the savior, but also the announcement of your becoming the queen."
