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

"He's coming, he's coming!"

Seeing Jiang You coming, the ghosts scattered and hid themselves.

"No, why are you running away?"

Jiang You rushed forward, grabbed one of the ghosts by the spine, and pulled it back. A Servant's body was somewhat similar to that of the undead, so it made sense that they could come into contact with ghosts.

"Isn't this unprepared? This is the first time we've encountered something that has never appeared in the future."

Seeing that he had no chance to escape, the ghost had no choice but to explain to Jiang You.

"Every action you take is unknown. It's truly magical. This experience has made me so excited that I can't even think! Even the future of this world is starting to become unclear."

Jiang You thought to himself that it was natural that the game system couldn't predict what the players would do. He could even go to the bar and order a bowl of fried noodles.

The other ghosts of the Mirror Clan also stabilized at this time and gathered around.

"Who on earth are you? How on earth did you do it? Do you know how disappointed we felt when we were alive and didn't even know what the first thing we ate tasted like?"

"And there's no way to avoid the fact that it tastes terrible. You're destined to eat it."

"There's no novelty in life. Even reading a book gives you instant access to all the plots... No matter which book you find, it's destined. You've already read them all!"

The ghosts chattered about the inconveniences of being prophetic fairies, and Jiang You probably knew why they didn't care about the fact that he was dead.

"So, your coming here is really novel. You know, the prophecy is completely useless now! It's a pity that our clan leader is not here, otherwise he would definitely be very happy."

The patriarch of the Mirror Clan once tried to escape his predetermined fate, but unfortunately failed.

"So, I can try flavors I'm completely unfamiliar with and read books I'm completely unfamiliar with?!"

"Can you still taste in this state...?"

Jiang You finally found a chance to speak. The ghosts here were completely different from the ones on Ai Lei's side and seemed a little lively.

"That's not important. So who on earth are you? Your appearance seems to have cut off all futures."

The ghosts began to spin around Jiangyou, and a confused expression appeared on the skeleton's face.

"Don't make me sound like the devil."

Cutting the future or something, I heard it's like what the final boss of FGO would do.

"I guess, no matter how I look at it, I should be a human, right?"

"Humanity?"

One of the ghosts spoke, and when it spoke, the other ghosts became a little quieter. It seemed that it was also a superior of the Mirror Clan when it was alive.

"That may be the case, but in reality, your rules are incompatible with this world, so there are some problems with the operation of the world. Don't be confused, this is the talent of our clan, so you are more like an alien. You don't seem to understand your own existence very well?"

The reminder from the Mirror Fairy Ghost reminded Jiang You of an inherent skill on his panel. Because a lot of things had been added to his panel, he had to pull down to see this skill.

[Life outside the domain? ]

As proof of being a foreigner in FGO, he'd been stuck at an undetermined level. After their reminder, Jiang You decided it was time to transform his Spiritual Base. He even had Beast status, so shouldn't this skill also have a Foreigner class?

"My magic power is still there... This shouldn't be the case..."

At this moment, the ghost's body began to become more illusory and seemed to be about to disappear.

"I don't have much time. Sorry for saying something strange. I'm just too curious about you. That future isn't very bright, and we're happy to have you around. So... if you need us, you can always call upon us dead. The unobservable future is truly fascinating."

Chapter 349: Yaolan, have you betrayed me too?

Jiang You was a little confused after watching the ghost give away a bunch of cards and then disappear. He felt strange, as if he had touched the main plot. But what could this main plot be?

Many of the Mirror Clan's cards have effects that allow them to directly view the opponent's hand, and some can adjust the order of the top 10 cards in the deck, which is quite consistent with the original setting. Since the Mirror Clan has expressed goodwill, Jiang You naturally reciprocates.

"Since you are curious about me and want to read books, then come with me to Salisbury. It is my territory now. I will place you in a library, but I will need you to act as a librarian. That shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

“Have you ever seen this future?”

"How is that possible? The Lord of Valeri Salisbury that the elders saw was ultimately defeated by that crazy woman Aurora. But now she's lying in the mud, and her future is already unclear!"

"What's there to worry about? I'm going, I'm going!"

The ghosts all agreed to Jiang You's proposal. The completely unknown experience made them unable to stop.

Seeing that the ghosts almost ignored her, Yao Lan did not ask any questions. She felt that asking for her life as compensation for what she had done was a very reasonable request. She just thought that these ghosts still resented her.

In fact, for the Mirror Clan, it is difficult to distinguish clearly between what has happened and what has not happened. Sometimes they even forget that they are dead. They don’t actually hate Yaolan that much and have almost forgotten about it.

"Without further delay, let's go."

Seeing that it was getting dark and there was nothing worth lingering in this area, Jiang You called the ghosts and goblins present to go to Salisbury. Salisbury had not yet received the news that Aurora had been defined as a traitor, so Jiang You had to take office as soon as possible to announce this good news here.

Yao Lan had lost her life's purpose and didn't know where to go. She could only fulfill her previous bet with Jiang You and execute the orders when Jiang You gave them. She took one last look in the direction of the still unconscious Aurora and followed Jiang You closely.

Arriving at the former lord Aurora's castle, everyone was greeted by a haggard-looking Coral. While Aurora didn't seem to care much about most things, she still made some arrangements, and Yaolan also helped out. These past few days, she'd been managing Salisbury on her own, and naturally, she was exhausted.

"Lord Lancelot!"

Coral saw Yaolan's familiar face, a look of relief on her face, and a genuine smile spread across her lips. However, the smile quickly faded as she saw Yaolan's lifeless demeanor and the human man beside her, whom she had previously called an enemy.

"What have you done to Lord Lancelot!"

Coral directly attacked Jiang You. As Aurora's right-hand man, she had some fighting power, but not much. She was only about one or two times as powerful as Jiang You, the kind who could easily crush any random soldier, only to be slaughtered by anyone with even a little fame.

"If you do this, it will be considered as rebellion."

Being on par with Jiang You meant that Jiang You had enough strength to avoid Coral's attacks. Jiang You used his physical advantage to immediately distance himself from Coral.

"I am now the Lord of Salisbury!"

"The Lord of Salisbury can only be Lady Aurora!"

Needless to say, Coral's loyalty to Aurora was so great that she immediately looked at Yaolan.

"Lord Lancelot, how is the lord? Why are you the only one back?"

"..."

Yao Lan looked at Coral's anxious eyes, not knowing how to answer her. Should she tell her that she had failed to protect Aurora? Or should she tell her what Aurora really looked like and what her current ending was?

"Yao Lan, control her."

Jiang You needs Coral to recognize the current situation. He still has a good impression of this purple fairy, and it would be a pity not to sell the card.

"Lord Lancelot!"

Just as Coral was about to ask, "How can you command our strongest knight?", he discovered that Yaolan had already jumped behind him, bound her hands, and pinned her to the ground.

With the power of the demon orchid, Klar had no chance of resistance, and the battle was over in an instant. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she roared in confusion.

"Lord Lancelot! What are you doing? Have you already betrayed me?"

Jiang You always felt that this scene was somewhat similar to the situation in pan-human history when Agrawen went to catch Lancelot committing adultery. Could it be said that being a traitor was the fate of the name Lancelot?

Seeing Yao Lan's sad expression again, Jiang You felt that he had been a little too harsh on her recently. Aurora was as good as dead now, and he thought it was time to ease the relationship between the two. Absolute obedience was a good thing, but Jiang You wanted Yao Lan to be more obedient.

"She never betrayed me. She simply put everything she had on the line to duel with me for the former lord of this place. Unfortunately, I won. She can no longer disobey my orders."

"you win?"

Coral had seen from Jiang You's previous actions that he, like himself, only had some basic skills, perhaps even worse than himself. How could he possibly defeat Lancelot, known as the strongest dragon fairy? Therefore, Jiang You must have used some despicable means. "Despicable!!!"

"He... won fairly, Coral, let's not talk about this anymore."

Yao Lan surprisingly explained things to Jiang You. She also had a strong liking for this diligent colleague and didn't want Jiang You to attack Coral out of anger. A powerful creature didn't need to tolerate provocations from weaker creatures, and she understood the terrifying nature of Jiang You's strength. Such strength couldn't be judged from his performance; it was too deceptive.

Jiang You was too lazy to argue with Coral about this, so he directly handed the identity certificate and documents given by Morgan to Coral.

"To be precise, it was Aurora who betrayed Her Majesty Morgan. Now Aurora has been executed, and I have received a commission from Her Majesty the Queen. I will be the next Lord of Salisbury!"

Coral looked at it carefully and found that it was indeed the Queen's handwritten letter. In addition, Yaolan did not refute it, so Coral confirmed the authenticity of the matter.

"I understand. I will assist you from now on, Lord!"

Coral felt that too many things had happened in the past few days, but no matter how unwilling she was, she could only accept this result.

Chapter 350: Don’t implement unnecessary functions!

Because Chaldea still needed a long time to locate the Grand Temple of Time, and there were no new scenarios to play, Jiang You could only diligently grind for rewards from territory activities. Because the data provided was very comprehensive, Jiang You was worried that someone would try to shoehorn a SLG system into the game. Right now, he was the only player on the beta, but once the public beta got more people, it could truly be a SLG. The kryptonian requirements for that would be terrifying.

It had to be said that Coral was quite useful. Most things could be handled with just a simple mention. No wonder Aurora treated her like her right-hand man. Jiang You just couldn't understand how such a useful and loyal subordinate could be crushed to death by Aurora without any psychological burden. Did this woman really have a brain?

The construction system does have some advantages, which is that it quantifies loyalty, which can be used as a reference for favorability.

The only problem was that Coral's loyalty had barely risen. He was still obsessed with Aurora, to the point where Jiang You was considering using a dark game. Of course, he was referring to brainwashing her, not some weird operation.

At the request of the ghosts of the Mirror Clan, an abandoned building in Salisbury was quickly cleared and named a library.

The books purchased from all over the Fairy Kingdom and brought by Jiang You from other world lines filled the library in a short time. The huge amount of books made all the ghosts very satisfied, but the number of ghosts was too large, and almost all of them followed. Jiang You had no choice but to contact Yao Cui for help.

The current Yao Cui follows Morgan's path as a Rain Kingdom witch, spending her days in libraries. The New Darlington Royal Library has long been built, housing many of Morgan's rare Rain Kingdom magic books. Therefore, some ghosts have been relocated to Yao Cui's Royal Library.

Yao Cui also made a few small requests. Hidden in the corners of both libraries were mirrors with rippling water. These were the magic props Morgan used to perform his "Water Mirror" trick. Those holding the corresponding props could use the mirrors to quickly move between the two sides. Yao Cui meant this would facilitate communication between the two sides. Jiang You, of course, knew what she meant, but he was also happy to have a teleportation function.

When Jiang You suggested building one in Bagzi's mansion, Yao Cui kicked him in the kidney.

Jiang You was ready to deal with Yao Cui's attack at any time and successfully dodged the attack. However, Yao Cui successfully closed the distance and knocked him to the ground.

"You rotten man!"

Yao Cui locked Jiang You with the fighting skills he learned from Kukulkan. This move was not fatal, but it could bring great pain. Kukulkan used this trick to kill people in North America.

"How many women do you have to chase before you give up? What's so good about that muscle girl? Is it just because of those two lumps of flesh on her chest? And that stinky dragon has such a petite body, but you really accept them all... No, are you insensitive to pain? Is your shamelessness so thick that it has affected your nerves?"

"I'm just plain horny."

Jiang You could already hear the groaning of his bones. Yao Cui's strength panel was an A, a level higher than a normal Bagzi. Setting the pain ratio too low was a disadvantage; sometimes it was impossible to judge whether one's body could hold out. Regardless of the purpose, Jiang You had to start begging for mercy: "Stop, I'm dying!"

"Your tone is so fake."

Yao Cui angrily bit Jiang You's neck, "No, there really is something wrong with you! Your blood is really tasteless! Are you really human?"

"Is a Heroic Spirit considered human? But how can blood be tasteless?"

Jiang You could already smell a rusty smell in the air and thought to himself that Yao Cui's bite was too fierce. Was he going to give up his first time (death) for this reason?

"If you don't believe it, try it yourself."

Yao Cui bit Jiang You's neck again, then loosened his restraints.

Jiang You was planning to scrape his wound to taste whether his blood tasted the same as pig blood vermicelli, but he found that the wound had healed. He didn't know whether it was the characteristic of the vampire fairy or the recovery effect brought by his panel.

"I need something to scrape it with."

"No need to bother."

The demon Cui, who was shouting for blood, spoke incoherently and held Jiang You's cheeks with both hands. Jiang You only felt a warm liquid in his mouth.

"Try it, is there anything wrong?"

"How would I know what human blood tastes like? I've never drunk it."

Jiang You swallowed it subconsciously. It was indeed tasteless. But just when he realized what Yao Cui's behavior just now meant, he was forced to log out.

"Tsk."

Yao Cui shook his head in boredom. "You're running off just like that? You've got the will but not the guts! But, in this case, whoever takes the initiative has the upper hand, right?"

Jiang You was forced back to the scenario selection screen, which displayed a boundless mirror lake, its surface completely intersecting the celestial pole. Several doors fanned out before Jiang You, each representing a scenario in sequence from left to right. The penultimate door, belonging to the Fairy Kingdom, was closed, meaning he couldn't enter for a while.

"Isn't there something wrong with this setting? It's not like I took the initiative to do this."

Jiang You briefly recalled the gentle warmth he'd felt earlier; it was indeed no different from the real thing. Logically, if players weren't allowed to experience this, they shouldn't have implemented it. A fully immersive tactile algorithm is much more difficult than hearing and touch. This situation seemed more like the system was unable to control the NPC's actions, and instead was restricting the player.

"Isn't this a disease?"

Jiang You increasingly felt unable to understand the game settings. Don’t implement functions that are not used!

Of course, there was another possibility: Dog K had truly connected to the Type-Moon world. As soon as this thought occurred to Jiang You, he wanted to laugh at himself. He wouldn't dream of doing that. But Jiang You still felt a pang in his heart.

"Never mind. The second Duel Tournament is almost here in the Fifth War's world line. I'll see if I can get some cards from the people over at the Clock Tower. They've been urging me to do it for a long time. I guess I'll run into a lot of familiar people."

Jiang You proudly wrote a post accusing Dog K of being inhumane, and then opened the door to the Fifth War. He had almost all of his summoned Servants arranged here, and it was time to interact with them to earn some favorability rewards.
