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

"..."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Shizijie put out the cigarette in his mouth.

"Is there a possibility that this letter was not written by the Demonic Marshal? Given his status, it is unlikely that he would speak in such a tone."

"It's indeed possible, but this mark cannot be faked."

Find also respected Bao Shi Weng very much. He couldn't imagine that Bao Shi Weng would speak to them, the younger generation, in this way.

"It's just a mark. Mages are afraid of the power of the Jewelmonger and dare not use it. But it's different for Servants, let alone Beast, the enemy of humanity!"

Danic snorted coldly. This was exactly what he wanted. If the Clock Tower was incompetent, he could legitimately establish a new Magic Association. As for whether he could win, he said he would. After all, if he lost, there would be nothing to worry about.

"Have you forgotten the information that Corles risked his life to bring back? Beast seems to have the ability of mind control. Maybe your familiar is under her control."

"This way, the scope of identifying Beast's identity is greatly reduced. Does the identity have any use to you, the Black team?"

"certainly……"

Fiore, sitting in a wheelchair, took a deep breath. "No, there are many legends similar to mind control. For example, Servants related to foxes generally have similar powers, like Tamamonomae. There's no way to determine the specific conditions for a Servant to exist as a Beast. There's no way to determine it at all."

"Tamamonomae won't grow horns, will he?"

Jin Ram was sorting out the relics left by Shakespeare. This Caster was not an orthodox magician, and basically only left behind manuscripts and other things. At best, they could only be used as additional props, but they also had considerable research value for magicians.

"The Beast's large horns don't look like something from a real creature."

"There might be some concept like a magic dragon in it."

Amakusa recalled Beast's appearance. The double horns that were almost bigger than his body were something that could not be ignored.

"In this case, Saber on the black side can fully demonstrate his strength."

Semiramis looked at Siegfried, a professional dragon slayer who could fight against any powerful dragon.

Gold's face looked a little grim. He didn't even want to tell his companions the real name of his Servant, but he didn't want to be exposed by Assassin from the red team. If it was a normal Holy Grail War, he would have been basically declared eliminated, but now was not the time to get angry. Now everyone had the same goal.

"If that's the case, leave the frontal combat to me."

Siegfried nodded. He would never refuse the request to save the world, not to mention that he had the ability to attack Dragon.

"In that case, I will show you how to familiarize yourself with the functions of the Sky Garden's position. Next, everyone, be prepared to fight the Beast at any time."

Amakusa had Semiramis release a dove as a warning.

"The Beast is not far from us now and may attack at any time."

"You don't need to remind me."

Danic snorted coldly, but still followed Amakusa's pace.

While the Red and Black factions were frantically preparing for battle, Jiang You went to the city to look for a prostitute (?).

"No, what are we here for?"

When Jiang You said this, Hei Zhen's face was filled with disbelief. Is this Jiang You some kind of pervert? Can't this kind of thing be left until after the matter is settled? "Are you some kind of monkey?"

Bai Zhen seemed very calm. Although she didn't know the development of this world line, she understood that Jiang You was not short of women with whom he could make peace, so there was no need to do such a thing.

Yao Lan was struggling with whether to say something like "Take me along." She tried to pull Jiang You's sleeve several times, but finally gave up. It didn't feel right to be with a lower-level species.

"Mom doesn't agree."

Tiamat strongly objected, "This kind of person should be vetted by my mother. We can't be so casual."

"Listen to me first."

Jiang You was helpless, these people wouldn't let him finish his words.

"I'm here to find the Black Assassin. This Master and Servant pair is a bit special. The Master can't continuously supply the Servant with the magic power he needs, so he can only constantly hunt down magicians and take their hearts to ensure the Servant's mobility. This Holy Grail War has changed. I have to inform them no matter what. Although these magicians who were killed are more or less to blame for their own mistakes, this time we are here to make dumplings, so we should stop now."

"And this Servant's situation is very special. Tima, you can perfectly fulfill her wish."

Chapter 497: Little Jack’s stats are so low.

"Sixth Director Lingxia, 23 years old, originally came from a wealthy family..."

"It's just a one-night stand. Do you need to know so much?"

Sixth Master Reika looked at the man before her, a man of her own complexion, handsome, young, and wealthy. Little Jack had also commented on his immense magical power, equal to that of all the previous magicians combined. It was hard to imagine a magician of this caliber would single out a prostitute like herself, so she prepared thoroughly from the outset, and Little Jack also prepared in secret.

As she spoke, Sixth Director Reika began to peel off her coat. True to form, a young lady forced into adultery by life, she maintained her original demeanor while shedding her arrogance, unabashedly revealing her allure. No wonder the magicians fell for her easily.

"Sir, you really care about me."

"No, I just looked it up on Baidu Encyclopedia."

Because there are so many characters, the settings of most of them are not very complete, and Jiang You actually has only a few words to say.

"?"

Sixth Director Lingxia thought Jiang You was telling a joke and laughed along. This was something very familiar to her.

"Sir, you are quite humorous."

"No need to force a smile. I didn't come to you for this kind of thing."

Sixth Director Lingxia's figure was indeed very good, but Jiang You had also seen more exaggerated ones, no matter which side they were on. This obvious fake smile was not very useful to Jiang You.

"I'm here to discuss the Holy Grail War with you, Black... No, the independent Master of Assassin."

"So he's the magician who's after me again?"

Sixth Director Reika's smile crossed her face, this time not a feign, but a genuine one. While she appeared to be a normal person in terms of ethics (?), her experiences had left her somewhat numb to most emotions, more like a natural freak. She was able to face any situation calmly, even passing as a normal person against a magus.

"Well, I'm sorry, but my Assassin is still hungry. Please die here."

Before he could finish his words, a white-haired girl rushed out from the shadows and slashed towards Jiang You's neck with a pair of sharp daggers.

Honestly, truly third-rate Servants rarely appear in the Holy Grail War, and unfortunately, Little Jack is one of them. As part of the legend of Jack the Ripper, formed from the unborn spirit, she possesses virtually no legendary bonuses and no corresponding martial power, aside from a slightly faster speed. Her Noble Phantasm only achieves near-guaranteed kills when the necessary conditions are met, and even then, when fully satisfied, it's only on par with the Cursed Arm's Noble Phantasm, Zabaniya.

So, in fact, Jiang You’s mediocre skills are enough to deal with her (mainly because he is a man).

However, Jiang You himself is a summoner-type character. Doing it himself would not only lose his status, but also not look good (referring to the pure numerical turtle punch), so he decisively summoned his Assassin.

The skull-masked Baimao also wielded a dagger as he charged towards Little Jack. Relying on his own flexibility, Baimao engaged Little Jack in a grappling match. This was the first time Jiang You had seen a Servant with Baimao evenly matched. Of course, it wasn't a 50-50 situation. Baimao fell into a disadvantageous position after a few moves, relying on his calisthenics to avoid being instantly defeated. Then, Baimao split into several clones, which compensated for his own disadvantage.

Sixth Master Reika's sense of crisis made her realize the danger of the situation. She had always relied on her Servants to crush and instantly kill magi. If a conflict erupted with another Master, she would be completely exposed and become a burden to Little Jack. Surprised, she immediately ran to the window. This wasn't a remote place; as long as she could escape outside, according to the principle of secrecy, she would be relatively safe.

All I can say is that this person is born to be a master, but his own strength and that of Little Jack are a bit weak, so there is no room for maneuver at all.

Jiang You held the opponent back, and Sixth Guide Lingxia turned around and pulled out a dagger from nowhere, stabbing Jiang You in the temple. The speed was so slow that Jiang You could interrupt at any time, but Jiang You did not intend to do so, and let her stab him in the head. This way, he could use his absolute strength to prove that she had no chance of winning.

"If I really wanted to attack you, I wouldn't have waited until now. Why don't you listen to what I have to say?"

Jiang You grabbed Liudao Lingxia's dagger and threw it aside.

However, at this time, Baimao was kicked in the chest by Little Jack, who took advantage of his small size, and was kicked to the side of Jiang You. Meanwhile, the other clones were slashed through the neck by Little Jack, who took advantage of the small space.

"I'm sorry, I'm incompetent..."

As the original Baimao, she bowed her head and admitted her mistake to Jiang You. She once again split into several clones and wanted to fight again.

Jiang You stopped her. Bai Mao's treasure was not very suitable for fighting. Its value would decrease with the number of clones. Without decisive abilities, Bai Mao could not take advantage of poison (?), explosives, traps, etc. in this space. It was not surprising that she lost to Little Jack in a head-on battle.

"It's not your fault. I just acted on impulse. Every profession has its own specializations, and this isn't your forte."

At the same time, little Jack saw his "mother" being held hostage by Jiang You, and immediately launched an attack. Several cutting daggers were thrown out from under her cloak and stabbed at Jiang You's vitals.

"Yao Lan, do it."

At this moment, a blue shadow directly broke through the window. Before anyone could react, little Jack was caught by the intruder and pressed against the wall.

When Sixth Director Reika came to her senses, she saw a little girl, not much older than Little Jack, with her neck pinched, completely unable to move. For some reason, the long-haired girl exuded a terrifying aura that made her tremble.

The outcome was decided in an instant, allowing Rokudo Reika to understand the gap between the two. If Jack had been more decisive in releasing his Noble Phantasm, perhaps there might have been some success. However, even though both of the opponent's Servants were female, since it was not yet night, the outcome was uncertain.

"I admit defeat. As long as you can let my Servant go, I am willing to agree to any conditions."

Jiang You laughed.

"You're so decisive that I feel like you're the real true magus. And, like I said, I came here to discuss matters related to the Holy Grail War, but you just didn't want to give me a chance."

Sixth Instructor Lingxia thought to herself, of course she wouldn't give him a chance. Who could easily trust an enemy who could take their life at any moment? However, having learned to read people's expressions since childhood, she didn't discount Jiang You's nature and nodded in agreement.

"In fact, this Holy Grail War is over."

Jiang You looked at the struggling little Jack and signaled Yao Lan to put her down.

"I'm here to persuade you to stop hunting magicians, and also to grant your wish."

Chapter 498: Ti Ma is a white-haired loli, and so is Jack

Sixth Director Lingxia became nervous again. Her life experience taught her that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Jiang You's inexplicable request and kindness made her completely unbelievable. She was afraid that this magician was going to use her as a sacrifice like he had done with Sagara Leopard Horse.

"Don't be too busy refusing yet."

Although Sixth Director Lingxia did not make any expression, Jiang You still read the meaning of this woman who was one year younger than him from the atmosphere.

"The main reason I can make this promise is because the wishes of you and your Servant are too simple and do not require the Holy Grail to fulfill them."

"my wish?"

Sixth Master Lingxia looked at Jiang You with confusion. She was actually quite the go-with-the-flow type; anything was fine with her as long as she could survive. Her participation in the Holy Grail War wasn't just about developing a motherly affection for Jack, but also about the fact that since she was already involved, she might as well participate.

"Do you know my wish?"

"My current wish should be to help little Jack win the Holy Grail."

Jiang You thought about this person's settings. Since he lived for such a short time, he could basically figure it out after just a few glances.

"As for what you'll want after obtaining the Holy Grail... you haven't thought about it, have you?"

"..."

Rokudo Reika actually had some vague ideas about what she wanted after winning the Holy Grail, not that she had none at all. But she couldn't articulate them specifically, because she was truly just muddling through life, whether as a prostitute or a Master, passively, pushed forward by experience, with no choice.

"You are indeed right. Little Jack's wish is my wish, but her wish..."

Liu Dao Lingxia also didn't know how else to fulfill little Jack's wish of returning to the womb except with the Holy Grail.

"You want to return to your mother's body and not be born, right?"

Jiang You said it before Sixth Director Lingxia in order to improve his persuasiveness.

"Little Jack is, after all, the vengeance of the unborn children of murdered women, so it's understandable that she might think this way. But she's not a real child, and doesn't have a mother in the traditional sense. So, no matter the method or the target, it's all the same to her, right?"

"You can do it?"

Sixth Director Lingxia still didn't quite understand how Jiang You was going to complete this abstract concept, and why he wanted to help her for no reason.

"I really can't do it, but I happen to have someone who can fulfill her wish."

Jiang You summoned Tiamat.

"This is Tiamat, the Mother of Mothers..."

Sixth Master Lingxia looked at the girl with giant horns before her and didn't find anything special. However, she was certain that she was a Servant. She was good at reading people's expressions. Judging from the attitude of the white-haired loli, she should be stronger than the other one. Now Jiang You had at least three Servants around him, and she no longer had the will to resist.

It seems that all the characters around Jiang You are white-haired loli (the appearance is ignored). The sixth director Lingxia looks at Jiang You with strange eyes. Could it be that he came here because he is attracted to little Jack?

"Don't address your mother in that way."

Ti Ma knocked on Jiang You's head to express her dissatisfaction. Jiang You's way of addressing her made her feel uncomfortable, and then her attention was immediately attracted by little Jack.

Little Jack's existence is truly unique, a first for even Tima, given his vast experience. This collective resentment of an unfinished child has a profound impact on all Servants who share the concept of a mother.

"Poor child... Stop crying and come to your mother."

Tima opened her arms towards little Jack.

But little Jack refused. First, she felt insecure around these people, even though they were enemies before. Second, she said, "I'm not crying. And... you don't look like a mother at all."

Although he knew that Little Jack was talking about body size, this sentence still dealt a heavy blow to Tima, and in an instant, Tima almost shattered into pieces.

Jiang You straightened the shaky Tima and explained to the Sixth Instructor Lingxia, "You're not a legitimate contestant, so you don't know the meaning of this name. But you just need to know that this person possesses a Noble Phantasm called the 'Primordial Sea,' which nurtures countless legendary creatures. Theoretically, humans were also born from it. That ocean is actually no different from the womb."

Jiang You had mentioned this to her before, so Tima didn't say much. She nodded and released the Primordial Sea at her feet. Actually, Tima didn't quite agree with letting little Jack fall asleep in this way. To her, every life should grow up healthily after birth, and even little Jack should experience his own life.
