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

The meteor, ignoring inertia, stopped dead in front of Jiang You. While the bow-shaped sky boat could defy inertia, the passengers on board couldn't. Ishtar lost her balance and fell, landing face first on the ground and sliding for over ten meters.

Fortunately, her body was the template of a God-level Servant, so her face wasn't worn down. She covered her nose and climbed up: "Really? You guys are having a party here and not waiting for me! I was running back and forth to deliver information and supplies to you, and you forgot about me. You are so disrespectful!"

"Don't worry, the night is still long. The party will last until tomorrow morning. How could we forget you?"

Jiang You then remembered that he had forgotten Ishtar. This girl was so similar to Toosaka Rin, it was really wrong to forget her.

"Tiamat has brewed a new bowl of soup. You must try it. It's delicious and even replenishes your magic power. But don't ask me what the ingredients are. Believe me, you don't want to know."

"Now that you mention it, I'm actually getting curious!"

Ishtar also became interested when she heard something new. She was about to enter the hall when she seemed to think of something and stopped abruptly.

"You seem to have the ability to pull other Servants to your side, right? Did you bring that dark woman along with you... Let me make it clear first, it's not that I'm afraid of her, but I don't get along with her, and it would ruin the fun!"

"Don't worry. Elle can't leave the underworld on this earth..."

Jiang You was speaking halfway when he suddenly remembered that Ai Lei was still preparing for battle. There was no channel for transmitting signals between the underworld and the surface, so Ai Lei didn't know that the battle here was over.

"broken!"

"What's broken?"

Ishtar was about to ask when she saw Jiang You attacking her.

"I'm sorry, I need to borrow your body!"

As long as Ishtar falls asleep at night, Ailei can use her body to come to the surface. Jiang You plans to knock Ishtar unconscious with his knife.

However, the ending is the same as that of Jin Gu.

Jiang You once again reaffirmed his idea of ​​learning martial arts, even if it was just a card game.

Chapter 313: Demonic High, Hypnosis Second Time.

"Thank you for your hard work, my lord. You seem to have been away for quite some time today. However, before you rest, I have an invitation to attend to. It is said that the lord of New Darlington, the Fairy Knight Tristan, has rung the Pilgrimage Bell, confirming her identity as the Child of Prophecy. Now, she intends to fulfill her duties and close her 'National Massacre Theater' in three days. She has extended an invitation to all lords. Will you accept the invitation?"

The fairy knight Gawain (Bagster) had just completed the cleanup of the surrounding Mors. When he returned to his residence, his housekeeper immediately handed him an invitation. The wax on it was indeed the style of the fairy Cui.

"I was sent for an audience with His Majesty Morgan on the way... Fairy Knight Tristan?"

All three of them were given names by Morgan, so naturally they all knew each other. However, Yao Cui was a bit special. She didn't rise to power through strength or achievements, but was directly designated as Morgan's successor. As for her reputation, it could be said that she was despised by everyone, not just the gods.

"Savior?"

Yao Gaoba Gezi felt her brain wasn't quite up to par. Morgan had been searching for the Child of Prophecy for a long time, and even though she had assisted in related work, wasn't the birth date of the Child of Prophecy already determined? Yao Cui was almost her age.

"It's true."

As the lord's steward, he naturally has corresponding information channels.

"Grand Duke Paire has confirmed the authenticity of the entire incident. Lord Tristan rang the pilgrimage bell in his territory."

"It's... hard to imagine."

Yao Gao would never have thought that the Son of Prophecy would be Yao Cui. That guy is more like the Son of Destruction. "Could it be that His Majesty Morgan did something?"

The butler cleared his throat twice and said, "Although I have this suspicion, it would be somewhat unkind of chivalrous to state it directly."

"……you're right."

Yao Gao felt that she shouldn't care about these things, she just needed to maintain her own territory.

"I'm hungry, is breakfast ready?"

"It's already noon, my lord."

The butler smiled kindly, "I'm sure you'll be very satisfied with this lunch."

"Oh?"

Yao Gao had never heard his butler say anything like that, although he had always done a good job in this regard.

"Even you said so. I'm actually looking forward to it."

"Of course, I don't mean the taste."

The butler kept the secret, "For us fairies, the thought is very important."

Jiang You looked at the table full of food and gradually became uneasy.

Although he had played games like hypnosis before, this was his first time doing something so close to reality. This was probably what they meant by a guilty conscience.

After returning to the Fairy Kingdom, Jiang You went straight to Morgan. He had already made some arrangements for Yao Cui, and now Yao Cui was ready to follow Morgan's example. She was currently immersed in the library, diligently studying magic and other knowledge, so Jiang You no longer needed to worry about her. So his current goal was to continue collecting other Fairy Knights.

When Jiang You made this request, Morgan showed a look of astonishment. However, she still said that she could help Jiang You.

Jiang You actually wanted Yao Lan more. Dragon + woman + mecha—it was a combination no one could resist. However, considering the difficulty level, Yao Lan was still lost in her own white (or black) moonlight, not in a state where she could communicate with normal logic. Therefore, Jiang You chose to first pursue Yao Gao, who had lost her husband early in life.

After Jiang You explained Yao Gao's current state to Morgan, Morgan decided to fight fire with fire. She used her own magic to cover up Oberon's actions against Yao Gao and replace Adonia's memories with Jiang You. For her, this method would stabilize the state of disaster represented by Yao Gao and help Jiang You inherit Yao Gao's favorability towards Adonia, killing two birds with one stone.

Incidentally, Morgan has already begun hunting down Oberon, even personally taking part in the hunt. Jiang You viciously betrayed Oberon for his own reward.

"Why did you come out?"

When Yao Gao saw Jiang You, he was first surprised and then worried.

"Given your physical condition, you should rest well."

"Thanks to your careful care, I am now much better."

Jiang You felt a bit guilty as he said this. This kind of deceitful behavior was a bit beyond his scope, yet it also gave him a kind of immoral pleasure (?). This wasn't a game where you could just choose dialogue options; you had to read each word yourself.

"Always asking for things is not a long-term solution. You have to let me do something for you. After all, we are... lovers, aren't we?"

"Surely so proactive... That's a bit unlike you..."

Just when Jiang You felt a chill in his heart and thought he had messed up, Yao Gao took the initiative to convince himself, "No...it's nothing, I'm very happy with you like this."

Yao Gao hugged Jiang You in her arms. With a height of 190cm and wearing high heels, she was half a head taller than Jiang You.

"Thank you."

Yao Gao felt herself growing hungrier, but Jiang You didn't emit any overpowering fragrance. Her mind longed for his flesh and blood, but her body told her otherwise. She didn't know what this meant, but a slight sense of disharmony led her to gently push Jiang You away. This feeling actually made her feel a little happy, as it allowed her to get closer to her lover.

"I'm so disappointed they haven't started eating yet... Didn't they start eating right after they took possession of us? Doesn't that mean we can't move the human in our hands?"

The fairy from the Fang Clan, who was leaning against the wall to peek into the living room, looked very disappointed.

"What strange things are you saying, Jiang... Jiang You? Hasn't he been living with the Lord for a long time? Since the Lord hasn't cheated, it's not right for us to do such things. So don't peek. You'll be punished if you're caught... Oh no, that old butler is looking over here. Let's get out!"

Her companion elbowed her and ran away.

"Hasn't it been a long time ago... Eh? That's exactly what happened. Wait for me!"

The goblin quickly followed his companion's footsteps.

Morgan, the King of the Lostbelt, with the added bonus of her throne, could perform a magic of suggestion even more powerful than Merlin's. She directly distorted the perceptions of all the fairies and people in Manchester, the entire fiefdom of the Demon King, causing them to forget the fact that Adonia had been devoured by the Demon King. She then replaced Adonia's image in everyone's memories with Jiang You, so that even if Jiang You acted according to his own whims, others would not feel too much of a sense of disobedience.

314

Chapter 314 Galgame is also part of this game.

Yao Gao wanted to hold Jiang You to sleep tonight, and Jiang You really wanted to agree, but the system gave a very serious warning. If it affected the review, the test contract with him would be terminated and he would be blocked. The red light flashed so fast that it seemed like it was going to self-destruct.

This was the first time Jiang You had seen such urgency in a system pop-up window. So, it wasn't the kind of thing where you shouldn't expect the completion rate to be so high! While Jiang You was complaining, he still felt something was amiss.

After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang You was captivated by Money. There was no other way, the offer was too much, so Jiang You could only reject this tempting proposal, even though players couldn't catch up on sleep in the game.

Under Yao Gao's disappointed gaze, Jiang You closed the door and switched to the Fifth War scenario. This was the scenario he had spent the longest time in and was the most convenient for him to move around in. The clock tower here had already taken care of all the external affairs for him, and he could appear in any area without hesitation.

Jiang You summoned Yao Cui to the open-air cafe. Now he couldn't leave Manchester at will, so he could only communicate with Yao Cui in this way.

Yao Cui had changed out of his usual bright red Gothic outfit for a more modern casual outfit. Although it was an armpit-exposed style, the wide black waistcoat covered the exposed shoulders tightly, protecting him from the sun while also reducing his exposure.

Yao Cui even donned a pair of round-framed glasses, giving her the look of a refined, literary young woman. This outfit is identical to that of Swimsuit Erpo. Incidentally, Jiang You bought her this outfit, directly inspired by Swimsuit Erpo's outfit, and it's clear Yao Cui likes it. As for the round-framed glasses, they're a nod to Morgan's time as the Witch of the Rain Kingdom.

But this temperament was destroyed the moment she opened her mouth. Her nose twitched slightly, and she immediately covered her mouth and nose, waving her other hand in front of her, as if trying to disperse the air in front of her.

"It smells so strong of dog and sweat. What have you been doing?"

"Have it?"

Jiang You sniffed himself, but didn't detect anything. Yao Gao, however, did rub against him for quite a while. It had to be said that, as a member of the Ya Clan, Yao Gao had a certain air of loyalty. Despite his size (in every way), he possessed a surprisingly girly side. Honestly, he was much cuter than Yao Cui.

"It's probably the smell of Bagezi. Also, is your nose really that sensitive? Those goblins from the Fang Clan clearly didn't react at all. And don't you like Bagezi very much?"

You know, there's a line in Yao Cui's ROOMTALK: "I like Bagster, huh? His kink is clearly about eating the one he loves, but he's trying so hard to act like a knight. It's both pitiful and funny, isn't it?"

Even though he has made some slight corrections now, his twisted personality hasn't changed much. He shouldn't react so strongly to the demon, right?

"Bagster? ...Bagster?"

Yao Cui quickly figured out who Jiang You was talking about. She also realized that the only thing she liked about Bagzi was his twisted sexual quirks, which didn't mean she liked anything else about him. "Also, I'm not good with muscular women! You've only been calling each other so intimately for a day? You said you asked Mother for help, but what exactly did she do for you?!"

Since Jiang You hadn't yet decided how to approach Yao Gao before he went to see Morgan, Yao Cui didn't know what Morgan had decided. Jiang You would later have Yao Gao attend Yao Cui's closing ceremony. She was an important witness, so there was no need to hide this from Yao Cui.

So Jiang You told Yao Cui all of Morgan's arrangements.

After hearing these words, Yao Cui's face looked a little unhappy.

"what happened?"

Jiang You subconsciously retracted his foot from under the table, inexplicably sensing a threat. He was proven right, as Yao Cui attacked his instep once again.

"What else can I do? Didn't you promise to assist me? You're betraying me!"

Yao Cui suddenly exerted force on the hand holding the coffee cup, and the scalding hot coffee suddenly exploded and spilled all over the table.

"Still want to be Bagster's lover? Do you want to be eaten?"

"Not an assistant, but a guide... well, almost."

Jiang You wasn't a fool. Yao Cui's reaction was clearly that of a grumpy girlfriend, and he even heard a hint of concern in the last sentence. He glanced at Yao Cui's favorability bonus; it was already quite large. Since that night, Yao Cui's attitude towards Jiang You had improved significantly. So, the answer was quite obvious.

"You're not in love with me, are you?"

"No!"

Yao Cui's face turned slightly red, but she was not a naive little girl, and she quickly suppressed the shyness.

"I'm just upset that something that belongs to me was taken away by someone else. Even though you have no value in my eyes, I can't let you take away something I threw away!"

It was a typical tsundere statement. At this point, Jiang You could earn more favorability by being more proactive. But in his current situation, Jiang You felt like there was something wrong with the game. He decided to put Yao Cui's reward aside for now and deal with the Three Knights first.

"Isn't this for the card? And you know my condition. Attacks are ineffective against me."

Yao Cui knew Jiang You's passion for collecting cards, and this reason could indeed convince her. However, it was then that Jiang You discovered something wrong. In theory, Yao Gao had a high favorability towards him, and it was also shown that way. However, Jiang You only received some leftovers after helping Yao Gao prepare that meal, so the favorability inherited from Adonia didn't seem to count.

"...Is it really necessary to personally participate in the battle to establish a bond?"

"Want to go further?"

Yao Cui directly smashed the crumpled coffee cup residue in his hand onto Jiang You's head. "Just drown yourself holding your cards! Let me go back. I don't want to say another word to this traitor."

"What happened after that?"

Jiang You had sought out Yao Cui primarily to discuss arrangements for the closing ceremony and to promote her identity as the savior. He glanced at the card library. Good! Cards wouldn't be reclaimed even if favorability was reduced. It seemed like a one-time bonus, just like those characters that could be disassembled after mining.

"I can handle it myself! You don't have to worry about it!"

Yao Cui left in anger.

"It feels like an NPC rebellion."

Jiang You couldn't help but complain that the game was too realistic and the NPC characters even had their own ideas.

"Forget about this part, let's just treat it as a Galgame. You idiot, how much game content did you manage to create? But even with this part, there's no CG to look at! Can't you just make 'Heartbeat, Academy of Heroes'?"

315

Chapter 315: Morgan, your skills are not good enough.

Tomorrow was the day before Bagzi's invitation to the demon Cui. During this time, Jiang You had done many things for Bagzi, acting as a lover. However, Jiang You felt that their positions had reversed, and he felt like a househusband. He had gained some favorability this way, but it was growing very slowly, so slowly that Jiang You had only received three cards, and those were just scraps. He hadn't even gotten Bagzi's original card.

You have to know that when Jiang You was gaining favorability before, he always started with a main body, which led him to think that this was the most basic reward. Now it seems that this time the favorability is gaining is really slow. If I had known, I would not have agreed to Morgan using this method.

Jiang You was aware of Bagzi's preferences, but he didn't meet the criteria. Bagzi was still in the stage of falling in love based solely on performance (physical fitness), and given Jiang You's condition, he would definitely be labeled as a weakling.

Jiang You decided to find an opportunity to duel and stop playing this game. If all else failed, he could still get a few cards by playing the Dark Game.
