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

Chapter 243 This is the Land of Fairies (Fake)

The construction of the (fake) fairy kingdom was quite fast. With the help of modern equipment, Medea's magic enhancement, and the assistance of Kukulkan's flying dragon, a small village was built in less than two weeks.

Despite being called the Fairy Kingdom, aside from its outer walls, which are modeled after Camelot, the interior resembles a 20th-century town. The smooth concrete floors and the dazzling array of shops belie the fact that this is Mesopotamia 2500 BC. As for the equipment and supplies within, they were all sourced from the timeline of the Fifth War, for which we are once again grateful to Atram for his generous financial contribution.

With the distribution of large amounts of food and supplies to improve their lives, the residents quickly accepted their identity as members of the (fake) fairy kingdom.

Located in the center of the town is a large competition venue. It can only be said that ordinary people in the Age of Gods accept things very quickly. At this time, the venue is full of people, and all the spectators are watching the wrestling in the arena intently.

Yao Cui nimbly dodged the strong man's pounce, swung sideways and locked the strong man's body from behind. His seemingly thin body suddenly exerted force, and a standard German back throw knocked the strong man unconscious. The huge noise was mixed with crisp breaking sounds. The strong man's spine was probably broken.

"This child is growing up very fast."

Kukulkan looked at Yao Cui, who was wearing sportswear, with satisfaction. Yao Cui's skills had improved a lot compared to before.

"I think she's learning so quickly just because she enjoys torturing others."

After breaking her opponent's spine, Yao Cui felt it wasn't enough. She carried the unfortunate man high into the air, locked him in a mid-air, and smashed his head onto the ring with a spinning tombstone spike. Suddenly, a gorgeous rose with blood value blossomed on the ground. Jiang You felt a sudden headache at the sight of this man. "With her control panel, wouldn't it be easy for her to bully an ordinary person?"

"Let us congratulate this warrior for surviving our Queen Fairy Knight Tristan for 1 minute and 14 seconds, a full 17 seconds longer than his last challenge!"

The host, Baimao, has returned for a limited time. She's now trying to expand her scope. In her words, it seems she can increase the size of her spiritual base. "Then the corresponding supplies can be collected after he's resurrected. Let's welcome the next contestant."

Staff immediately arrived, carried the body down, and cleaned up the area. At least a few hundred bodies were produced here every day, and they would be revived soon anyway, so everyone was used to it. But Jiang You still couldn't understand how someone could be revived intact after their brains were smashed out.

Because Kukulkan placed his solar calendar stone directly here, the power of resurrection is always in effect here. Therefore, the outcome of the battle in this arena can only be determined by death. Only when one side completely loses vital signs will the wrestling end.

Initially, Kukulkan worried that her magic power wouldn't be enough to sustain such frequent use of her powers. She'd set a rule of only hunting a hundred men a day, not just for the Gorgon's benefit, but also to give her ample time to recover her magic power. Even so, the amount of magic power required to resurrect a hundred men a day was astronomical.

Jiang You also found an opportunity to give the soul crystal to Kukulkan, so that she would not have to worry about insufficient magic power. For this reason, Kukulkan even deliberately pulled Jiang You to a corner where no one was.

However, it wasn't a reward, but rather a thorough interrogation. She had assumed Jiang You had obtained this item through some unholy ritual. Indeed, there was no ritual more sinister than the Dark Game. Only after Jiang You assured her that he had only collected the souls of the wicked (because there was a limit), did she regain her usual gentle expression.

Incidentally, the killing of Yao Cui was actually counted in the mission objective, so Jiang You let Yao Cui mess around.

"She's not like you, who has to use her basic qualities to make up for her lack of skills. She has now controlled her output to a level slightly higher than that of an average person."

Kukulkan smiled and patted Jiang You's shoulder, her grip so strong it threatened to crack his bones. Her smile seemed to hint at a sense of disappointment. "After this period of special training, Xiao Ba Wanxi can now defeat her former self in twenty rounds using only force. And your skills are better than anyone here."

"Spare my life."

Jiang You grimaced in pain. If he had been in full pain, he would have been even more miserable. "After all, my strength is mostly in my Noble Phantasm, relying on the bond."

"That's what's not cute about you."

Kukulkan shook her head. Jiang You had talked a lot with her and explained the specific effects of his treasure, so she was now helping Jiang You make up for his shortcomings.

"Your Noble Phantasm needs to be activated on the target yourself during the unofficial Holy Grail War. It's still uncertain whether any Servant can ignore your Noble Phantasm. Well, since even I, your sister, can't dodge it, I can be optimistic."

"but--"

Kukulkan grabbed Jiang You's arms, suddenly stood up and began to spin around himself. "--If someone attacks you before you can react, can you hold on? In your current condition, a second-rate Servant is enough. So, just give it a good wrestling match."

"Hey~ Hey~! Everyone, please make way. Let's have a wrestling match between our Imperial Master and the Queen!"

Kukulkan calculated the angle and suddenly let go, and Jiang You was thrown into the ring while spinning.

"Hehe, I finally got you."

Yao Cui twisted her wrist and walked up to Jiang You with a gloomy face. When she was being trained by Kukulkan, Jiang You often used the excuse that the construction of this town needed his assistance. "You've been tormented by that muscular sun girl for a while now. It's time for you to enjoy yourself!"

"I have a feeling you're talking about the goblin knight Gawain."

Jiang You looked at the demon Cui who was getting closer and closer to him and raised his hand to show surrender.

"I'm no match for you. Can I just admit defeat?"

"There's no option of giving up here!"

Yao Cui roared and rushed towards Jiang You. Jiang You wanted to dodge with his own speed, but Yao Cui also released the restrictions on himself in front of him, and directly came up to entangle Jiang You. He locked Jiang You to the ground with a cross lock, and clamped Jiang You's body with a pair of white legs. At least the A-level strength almost pulled his hands off.

"Servants can't be resurrected! Take it easy!"

Jiang You was in so much pain that he wanted to use his Noble Phantasm.

The Ziggurat of Uruk, the king's residence.

"You said a lot of people went towards Ur... Hasn't there been a loss of contact there?"

Gilgamesh looked at the clay tablet presented by Siduri with a gloomy expression.

244

Chapter 244: Camelot, the haunting remains.

"They dared to escape from under my throne. Do they have any dissatisfaction with me?"

Gilgamesh knocked on the armrest of the throne angrily. If he were ten years younger, he would definitely drag these people back and kill them one by one. "Really? I'm so busy that my stomach hurts, and they don't even think of letting me save some time!"

"The above is all the information I have received in the past few days..."

Siduri reported the latest news. Besides the Warcraft battle, she also had to worry about people's livelihoods. After Enkidu's departure, she was the only one who could communicate normally with Gilgamesh.

"Come to think of it, there have been rumors circulating among the public lately about a Utopia like Peach Blossom Land. I think these rumors are probably related to this incident."

"A Utopia? An ideal land?"

Gilgamesh stroked his chin. His clairvoyance allowed him to understand what these two words referred to, but they weren't words Siduri could utter. "It seems some other cultivators have come here to cause trouble for me. I've already lost two warriors over there. It seems it's time to demonstrate my strength to them once again..."

Seeing Gilgamesh stand up, Siduri quickly ordered a cart of clay tablets to be brought in. These were filled with government affairs that Gilgamesh needed to review. "King, this is the fourteenth time this month you've excused yourself to leave. Today's work isn't finished yet, so you can't rest yet."

Siduri added another sentence.

Gilgamesh was deflated. Siduri was being too strict. He could easily finish all these tasks in ten days or more. He felt like his butt was rooted to the bone sitting in this divine tower. "Then this is the only way. Those people from Chaldea have been doing quite well lately. Call them over and tell them that I have an official mission for them."

"Finally, there's an official mission."

Gudako stretched lazily. During this period, at Gilgamesh's request, she had been helping to deal with the debris in the city. Even Anna, who seemed to be deserted, went to help work in the flower shop. She almost forgot that she came to save the world.

"Investigate the situation in Ur. It seems the south is not peaceful either."

"Senior, please follow me closely. According to Gilgamesh, the people he summoned, Amakusa Shiro and Fuma Kotaro, are also missing over there. They will definitely be in danger."

Matthew checked the stability of Gudako's combat uniform. The Master's safety is the top priority and no carelessness is allowed.

"I, Tsuru Anna, will go with you. Don't worry, I've got you, big brother. Even if you can't win, I'm the best at running away."

Merlin waved his staff. His words were still very convincing. Even Kingo could not detect his illusion.

"...If you're just looking for information, I have something that might explain the situation."

Anna, who was always taciturn, spoke. She stretched out her hand from under her cloak and opened it in front of everyone's gaze.

I saw a piece of candy lying quietly in her hand, and the transparent colored paper emitted a little fluorescence under the sunlight.

"candy?"

Gudako didn't react for a moment until a shirtless Uruk resident passed by carrying a cart of mud slabs.

“Eh? Eh eh eh eh eh!”

“This is 2500 BC!”

Dr. Roman also saw the situation here, and he looked at the candy in Anna's hand in surprise.

"It is said that candy wrappers first appeared during the Warring States Period, between 475 and 221 BC. That's over 2000 years ago, and the manufacturing process clearly involved plastic production!"

"This was given to me by the old lady at the flower shop. She said someone was distributing some very valuable supplies at the South Gate. Is there some kind of Utopia or Peach Blossom Land in the south?"

Anna slowly told everyone the information she had learned from the old woman, and repeated it to everyone in detail.

"The old woman said that if her children were still around, she would consider living there... She also told me to go there if I had the chance, as this place is too close to the front lines."

Merlin took the candy and carefully examined it with his knowledge.

"It's a real thing, without any magical power. It shows no signs of being made by a Noble Phantasm. Of course, it's not ruled out that there are Noble Phantasms that can directly overlay reality, but it would be a waste to use such a Noble Phantasm only to produce candy."

"So, someone in this era has the technology to produce candy?"

Roman immediately dismissed this speculation. "Even if that's the case, it's impossible to use colored paper for packaging. Such a process is too complicated for this era. We don't have enough basic technology, and it would be a waste of production capacity. However, if I were in your shoes, I would definitely be eager to go there and take a look."

"You can actually do this kind of thing, right?"

Merlin smiled and narrowed his eyes into a line, as if he was conveying something to Roman.

"You don't need to play dumb anymore, they already know who I am. If you want to argue, just say it directly."

Roman looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Then he gritted his teeth and opened Merlin's box. "Magic Miss Meili!"

"what?"

Merlin didn't expect this result.

"However, if he recruits people in this way, it means he also wants to protect humanity."

Matthew interrupted the confrontation between the former champion and the candidate for the crown, thinking that anyone who was willing to give people hope in such a gentle way must be a good person.

"In that case, why not cooperate with the King of Heroes? That way, humanity's chances of victory will be even better."

"The other party's purpose in pulling people over is still unclear, so we can't make a direct judgment."

Roman thought Matthew was too naive. He felt like if he lost his memory, he'd be taken away as a child bride. What if he wasn't watching? "Be careful when you go there, there might be some kind of mind control effect."

"Sounds like it's time for me to take the stage."

Merlin took a step forward. As someone skilled in illusion, he was best at dealing with mental abilities. "Leave it to me, big brother. Now that we're ready, let's go!"

The journey went quite smoothly. The magical beasts that had jumped over from the mountains and roamed the plains had disappeared. The group arrived at the vast tropical rainforest in the south without any hindrance.

"This isn't the environment of Mesopotamia at all. It feels a bit like the Pharaoh's desert. It must have come with the Servants..."

Roman analyzed the data. "South American...candy...shouldn't it be chocolate?"

Soon, Chaldea completed a scan of the surrounding environment.

"Okay, the terrain has been mapped. There's a large town ahead... the shape... the shape is!"

Roman's voice was filled with shock, "Camelot!"

245

Chapter 245: A forced melon is not sweet, but it quenches thirst.

"Camelot?"

Matthew immediately pulled Gudako and ran into the depths of the jungle. Soon, the tall white city walls were reflected in everyone's pupils.

"It's actually true!?"

The style of the city wall is exactly the same as that of Camelot in the previous singularity. If the surrounding environment was not the tropical rainforest of South America, Matthew and Gudako would even doubt that they had not left the previous singularity.

"The Lion King... or the Knights of the Round Table are here too?"

In fact, Jiang You imitated the appearance of Camelot according to Morgan's Camelot, which is exactly the same as the Camelot in pan-human history and singularity. It can only be said that Morgan's obsession with Camelot is outrageous.

"But it is not."

As King Arthur's teacher, Merlin was very familiar with Camelot and he saw the problem at a glance.

"It's identical in appearance, but this wall is actually made of reinforced concrete. Well, it's reinforced and protected with magic, but it's a bit crude... Oh? Is it some Greek magic?"

"Magic from Greece?"

Gudako couldn't figure out which Greek servant Camelot would be connected to even if he scratched his head. It's totally unrelated, right?

"We'll know the specific situation once we get in."

Merlin nudged Gudako gently. "The owner of this place isn't trying to guard against spies, but that's really not a concern in the current situation. Just walk in with confidence."

Just as Merlin said, the guards at the gate didn't question the men at all, allowing them to enter the city in perfunctory disguises.

"This is too urban."

Gudako looked at the surrounding facilities and almost thought she had returned to modern society.

"Is this really 2500 BC? What on earth happened here? And those guards were holding guns, weren't they?!"

"Senior, please pay attention to the volume, please pay attention to the volume."

Matthew pulled Gudako and signaled her to speak in a lower voice. Yelling in the street would be too conspicuous. If the owner of this place had ill intentions towards them, things would become very troublesome.

"Senior, you're making such a fuss. Haven't you seen fully automatic robots in America?"

"Matthew, you have to understand that this is America."
