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

But Aurora really hated the fleeting look in Jiang You's eyes. As the most perfect being, she felt a disgust that she could not avoid from Jiang You's eyes.

Aurora kept smiling and secretly labeled Jiang You in her heart.

Yao Lan had followed Aurora for so long that she naturally knew what she was thinking. She had long known Aurora's true nature, but she had also accepted the outcome. From the moment Aurora pulled her from the rotting swamp, she had resolved to exist for her. The beautiful light that dispelled the gloom would remain with her for the rest of her life.

In this case, this guy is the one who needs special attention. It would be best if there is no conflict. If a conflict occurs, it must be dealt with before he hurts Aurora. Yao Lan secretly memorized Jiang You's appearance.

Jiang You didn't know that Yao Lan had been watching him because of a glance. Now she was very sensitive to everything related to Aurora. Even to the point of being humble, even if she knew that she was not loved by Aurora, it didn't matter.

"More than that, Lancelot, are you ready?"

Aurora's lips curved into a sinister arc as she watched Yao Cui appear before everyone. The time was almost right. "We should present a gift to this ill-intentioned Son of Prophecy."

“…Do you really want to do this?”

Yao Lan hesitated. She knew exactly what Aurora was referring to. After Aurora followed Yao Cui to the magic workshop, she had taken many curse-related items, and Yao Lan had many of them in her possession. Aurora wanted her to spread the curse here, and this wasn't the first time she had done this for Aurora. "The fairies here have nothing to do with this, right? Morse's curse is a serious matter for fairies... and you..."

"So you're going to let this murderous guy become the child of prophecy?"

Aurora still maintained that warm and refreshing smile, but it was a little stiff. "This kind of thing is bad for everyone. A short pain is worse than a long one. We are just trying to expose her mask in advance. Is there any way more convincing than solid evidence? Or do you think...this is not a good idea?"

"No, I'm just worried that it might affect you."

Yao Lan didn't care about the fairies; the only thing she cared about, from the beginning to the end, was Aurora. Of course, if she could show some temper within the permitted range, that would be even better. Furthermore, she felt she had no right to blame Yao Cui, as they were birds of a feather. "Anyway, please be careful."

Just like the incident with the Mirror Clan, the same thing happened with the spreading of the curse this time. Yaolan would complete Aurora's instructions, no matter what the purpose was.

"Don't worry, there's no place safer than here. Look, His Majesty Morgan is right here."

Aurora looked in Morgan's direction. Although Morgan didn't actually need guards, she still needed the pomp and ceremony of being a queen. The queen's knights were neatly arranged behind her. The combat effectiveness of this group of knights selected by Morgan herself should not be underestimated.

Yao Lan glanced at Yao Cui as he stepped onto the stage. His demeanor was much softer than the frenzied one he'd had a while ago. His aura had also become much more concentrated, suggesting a lot had indeed happened during this time.

But this no longer concerned her. It was a fact that the underground of Yao Cui Theater was researching Morse's curse. Given Morgan's fondness for Yao Cui, this was bound to end in farce.

After leaving the theater on the pretext of something, Yao Lan slipped into a small alley nearby.

"Stalking a woman is not gentlemanly behavior, Mr. Clerk."

Jiang You had just taken a few steps when he found himself blocked in a dead end by Yao Lan. Since everyone nearby had gone to participate in the Child of Prophecy ceremony, only Yao Lan and Jiang You were left on the empty street. Yao Lan had already drawn her weapons and assumed a fighting stance.

"I feel a threat. Can I destroy you?"

"With your mobility, you can even ignore the effects of inertia. I can't follow you."

Facing the strongest fairy knight, Jiang You didn't seem panicked at all. "So you were waiting for me here on purpose, right?"

"A man who is too sensitive is not likable."

Yao Lan was obviously much more lively when she was not in front of Aurora. "Although I do have many questions, curiosity is not a good thing. So, I'm really sorry. Please rest here forever. For the sake of my colleagues, I will be more efficient! Don't try to escape, I won't let you go."

Jiang You then realized that this Yao Lan wasn't the easygoing, sensual dragon of Chaldea. She was now colder and more unsympathetic. When Aurora was alive, the Yao Lan he wanted was invisible. Now, Yao Lan was willing to be Aurora's black glove. If this matter were ever exposed, it would only be Yao Lan, the black glove, who would be dealt with.

"On the contrary, it's me who won't let you go."

Jiang You took a step forward and entered the attack range of Yao Lan.

"Melyuzina!"

Chapter 325: This demon orchid is a little too intelligent.

"You can't spread the curse of Morse."

Jiang You kept getting closer to Yao Lan. "After hearing those words on that rainy night, can you still stay with Aurora like before with a clear conscience? Even if she intends to make you the scapegoat?"

This behavior actually made Yao Lan alert. The other party was so confident, he must have something to rely on.

"It seems you know everything, even though there were no witnesses."

Yao Lan's face paled slightly. Jiang You's words implied he knew all this was orchestrated by Aurora. While this was true, Aurora had to maintain a glamorous appearance; it was her raison d'être and her very purpose. She didn't directly address Jiang You's question, but instead, her expression darkened. The fairy sword Arondite began to glow, a sign that her Noble Phantasm, [Unknown Immaculate Lake Light], was unfolding.

"Then eliminate the witnesses!"

"I'm sorry, but I'm the stronger one!"

Under Yao Lan's puzzled gaze, Jiang You directly grasped her weapon. The magic power flowing through it could cut through the city wall in an instant. In theory, that was the case.

But there are always exceptions. Yao Lan only felt that the space had changed, and this space seemed to be independent of the normal world. As a dragon, her instinct for danger told her to escape quickly, but she could not find a way to leave the area around her.

Jiangyou LP 4000.

Melyuzina LP 4000.

"A human magician?"

Yao Lan had killed magicians before, but this was the first time she had seen magic of this level. Overriding the rules of reality was something she had never heard of, and it made her feel a little scared.

"It's okay if you understand it that way."

Jiang You accepted this identity naturally, as it didn't make much difference anyway.

"Before Aurora starts spreading the curse herself, please stay here with me. How about we chat for a moment?"

Yao Lan didn't even have the heart to joke anymore. Since Jiang You already knew about the situation, then Morgan, who was close to him, naturally couldn't be unaware. If Aurora spread the curse herself, she would definitely be discovered. She couldn't imagine how Aurora would be treated then. The image she had cultivated for so many years would be completely destroyed. This would be more painful than killing her.

"From your expression, it seems like you're hoping she can control her temper, right?"

Jiang You laughed, "Don't worry, it's impossible!"

Neither King Uther's negotiation nor Knalia's ascension to the throne was the right time, but the poisoned wine appeared there. Aurora was never one to tolerate any imperfections, acting impulsively and without regard for the consequences. She was truly a fey. Even her right-hand man, Coral, would be transformed into an insect and crushed to death for a moment of displeasure. It's a miracle that her character remained hidden for hundreds or even thousands of years.

"You should understand Aurora better than I do. Now is the most appropriate time to create chaos. How could she give up?"

Jiang You knew that Aurora's personality was like this, so he could be so sure.

"Imagine what expression she'll have after the truth is revealed? What kind of treatment will she receive for trying to frame the Child of Prophecy? She's the Queen's daughter, and the rebels need the Child of Prophecy to overthrow the Queen's rule... Is there still a place for her in this world?"

"I won't let you succeed! I'll save her!"

Yaolan struggled, hoping that if she could stop Aurora, there would be hope. But how could she possibly break free from the rules that even a powerful being like Beast had to follow?

"Please don't make me sound like a villain. It's you who are doing the bad things."

Jiang You shook his index finger, signaling Yao Lan to be patient. "Before we fight, I have a question. Do you yearn for the brilliant Aurora who pulled you out of the quagmire? Or is it this Aurora who is radiant on the outside but corrupt on the inside? Do you want to save her, or her 'shine'?"

"What do you mean?"

Yao Lan obviously didn't get Jiang You's intention. What's the difference between the two? In fact, it was more that she didn't want to think about it.

"Aurora, who pulled you out of the quagmire, is now another quagmire!"

Jiang You put it more bluntly, "It's better to say that she was that quagmire from the beginning. It's just that the flowers growing on it deceived your eyes! Now, you yourself are unwilling to climb out of this quagmire."

"And this time, it's me who's reaching out to you."

Jiang You stretched out his hand towards Yao Lan in the air, and this action had greater imagery than practical meaning.

"Well, are you willing to catch it?"

Yao Lan was stunned for a moment by the sudden change of topic. Her expression quickly turned cold. "You know how we met, but you can never imagine the scene I saw when I first laid eyes on Aurora. Without her, I would have been nothing but a piece of meat lying quietly in the mire. From the day she held me in her arms, I saw a brilliant light. It was then that I resolved to give up everything for her happiness! Even my conscience!"

Yao Lan, in turn, asked Jiang You a similar question: "Then let me ask you! Who were you reaching out to, that piece of meat or Melyuchina?"

Very good, Yaolan is indeed difficult to deal with. Neither of these two answers is correct. Choosing Melyuchina would mean recognizing Yaolan's value in existence for Aurora. Choosing the piece of meat would not give birth to Melyuchina, the dragon fairy. This choice is worthless. Therefore, there is no way Melyuchina would agree to Jiang You's request.

There isn't any right answer.

But that doesn't mean you can't use sophistry: "Are you using the past to deny the present? We are all living creatures in the present, and every bit of the past makes up the you and me of today. What I want to capture is Melyusina, who craves body warmth at night, fears loneliness, loves rainbows, thinks of herself as Percival's mother, and believes herself to be the strongest creature! It is because she makes up everything about you that I have the idea of ​​not letting you fall. So, please answer me again, Melyusina!"

"Honestly, this is the first time we've met."

Yao Lan stared at Jiang You with her pale golden eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. "You know so much about me that it's already a bit disgusting... Are you a pervert?"

"Is this important?"

Jiang You knew more than just her servants, so it was easy to improve their favorability by treating their needs appropriately, except for those with less favorable compatibility, such as Gilgamesh and Minamoto no Raikou.

"It's very important. It's related to whether I can use the honey trap to make you choose to help me."

Yao Lan is really seriously considering the feasibility of this matter.

"So we really have to fight to win?"

Jiang You was used to it, "Yao Lan, don't blame me for being mean, I'll attack first!"

326

Chapter 326: Yaolan, it’s up to you to kill Aurora!

Jiang You is still using the Tiamat deck. This kind of thing is like Pearl Tears. Once you try it, you can never go back to the past.

"First, I activate the magic card [Anti-Genesis]"

One-sided skill extraction.

"Then there's the Quick-Play Spell Card, [Return of the Primordial], which can only be activated when [Primordial Sea] or [Anti-Genesis] is on the field. Special Summon a [Tiamat (Self-Seal)] from your deck in Attack Position!"

A high-level Servant that is extremely difficult to deal with.

In the black sea, the mother of all things slowly emerged.

Tiamat (Self-Seal)

Attack power 0.

"...!"

Tiamat's presence alone was enough to stifle Yaolan. As a dragon, she prided herself on being the strongest creature. But the other party completely suppressed her with just this one thing. Even if she completely liberated herself and transformed herself into a calamity, she was still not sure she could be her opponent. Who could be an opponent of this level?

"Is this opponent this time this cute kid?"

Tiamat always felt that Jiang You had too many female opponents. If he became a person who only bullied girls, he would not be able to gain a foothold in society.

"It's quite cute indeed."

I've said it before, this is a dragon + woman + mecha, who in the world can stop it? "But what she's doing now is not cute at all. Do you want to hear her story?"

Jiang You's goal now was to stall for time, to drag it out until Aurora lost her patience. If all went well, he could legitimately eliminate her right here. Ever since acquiring Tima's deck, the battle had become completely predictable. Of the next known enemies, only Goetia seemed a bit of a challenge to him.

"Since you said so, Mom, of course I want to listen to it."

Tiamat nodded. She felt a sense of familiarity with Yaolan, perhaps it was the part of her that was also a dragon at work.

Jiang You then told Tiamat the origins of the Orchid and the stories told in the game's plot. These stories almost all revolved around Aurora, and Tiamat looked furious after hearing them.

"Melyuzina, Mom, I have a question."

Although fairies cannot be considered Tiamat's children in a sense, Tiamat chose to accept all existences, even beasts.

"What exactly are your feelings towards that wicked Aurora? Do you regard her as a lover? Or a mother?"

Even Tiamat felt that Aurora had gone too far, although this was the result of her recent life in human society and her way of thinking beginning to become more human.

"Lover? Mother?"

Yaolan and Bagezi are somewhat similar, believing that the weak must obey the law of the jungle. So when faced with Tiamat, who exudes an extremely powerful aura, she will seriously consider the other party's problems.

Most of the time, Jiang You suffered losses in this regard.

She had never actually considered this question. To her, if she had to say it, it was both, but that was just wishful thinking. Aurora didn't actually like her. She knew it on that rainy night: "I... don't know. For me, as long as Aurora can continue to shine, that's all."

"That's so sparkly!"

Jiang You couldn't help but complain, "Do you know what naturally glowing things are?! That thing carries radiation! Anyone who gets close to it will be irritated and stink! Come to think of it, her wings do glow, so now everything makes sense!"

"..."

Yao Lan certainly didn't understand this kind of scientific knowledge, but she understood Jiang You's point. It seemed natural to her that Jiang You knew her so well, and it made sense that he also knew a lot about Aurora. Someone who knew Aurora's true nature wouldn't like her, nor would they find her dazzling. "But Aurora expects that. As her knight, I don't need to consider that..."

"It's really difficult!"

Jiang You rubbed his head. Yao Lan was indeed very attractive to him, but Yao Lan was not able to communicate normally at the moment. She would eventually kill Aurora because after the collapse of the Lostbelt, Aurora could no longer maintain her beautiful appearance. Yao Lan took action to prevent Aurora from having that fateful outcome.

The situation now was similar. Once Aurora was exposed, she would lose her persona, and even her beautiful appearance would be meaningless. Jiang You had thought that this would persuade Yao Lan to make the same decision, but now it seems that he was too naive. At that time, there was no escape route. The fairy kingdom had no escape route. Yao Lan had no way to prevent the collapse of that world, so she made up her mind to act. She eliminated the last anchor that maintained Melusina's existence and transformed into a sad dragon of disaster.

Since this problem cannot be solved in a formal way, let's use a simpler way. Dark games exist for this purpose.

"Melyucina! You must be the only one who knows Aurora's true identity and is willing to help her wholeheartedly, right?"

Jiang You wants Yao Lan to face the reality, and he is also a rolling wave that Yao Lan cannot stop.

"Coral... No, even Coral can't do this."
