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

Jiang You asked this question somewhat suically.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Weber almost fell down, and he quickly stopped Jiang You's strange idea to prevent him from making any irreversible wish.

"That's obviously impossible. Even if the Greater Holy Grail can connect to the inner side of the world, it's still something on this planet. The universe is too vast!"

"So I wish for the return of Kamijou? Actually, I'd really like to ride the Dragon of Albion."

Jiang You wanted to test the extent of the Holy Grail's influence on the world.

"It's precisely because the 'Great Source' has dried up that the Holy Grail exists! Using a substitute to replenish the Age of Gods' magical power is simply impossible!"

Waver had begun to doubt the value of the Caster class.

"That sounds pretty weak... You heard it, Emiya Kiritsugu. A wish that's too big can't be fulfilled."

Jiang You changed the subject and pointed at his Master.

Kiritsugu Emiya never thought that Jiang You would mention him. The actual leader of their team has long been Jiang You. After all, Jiang You is not affected by the Command Seals, and Einzbern is actually supported by Jiang You.

"What are you standing there for?"

Jiang You brought Emiya Kiritsugu to the front of the Holy Grail.

"Aren't we going to be partners in justice?"

The system prompted Jiang You to make a wish to resurrect all the beings killed by the Beast's appearance. Since the souls within the Holy Grail hadn't truly departed, their presence would count towards the event. The dungeon was almost over, and Jiang You couldn't bring back any of his strange wishes, so he decided to increase the event rewards. So, he decisively became a partner of justice.

"You want to save the world, right? Then make your choice, my Master. Red is for the illusory world peace, while blue is for the down-to-earth revival of the innocent people of today."

Jiang You spread his hands out to Emiya, and the two gems, one red and one blue, emitted a faint fluorescence under the influence of magic.

"Exercise the desire to save?"

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the hole in the sky and showed a hint of relief. This time he could save others without taking anyone's life.

"If only you, Caster, didn't look like you were going to kill me if you chose the red gem."

"Is it so obvious?"

Jiang You subconsciously touched his face, but found that he didn't make any extra expression at all.

"I didn't see it directly, but after all this time, I have a rough idea of ​​your personality."

Emiya Kiritsugu extended his hand towards the blue gem. "Although your thoughts are quite eccentric, you are actually no different from an ordinary person. You feel sad when others suffer, and you also express anger when things don't go your way. Rather than the legendary 'hero', you are more like an ordinary person, an ordinary person who wants to play with the world but can't restrain his compassion."

"You've helped almost everyone along the way. Caster, because of you, Eri can live a normal life, Illya doesn't have to wait in the snow for ten years, and innocent people are saved because of you. It's great to have met you!"

"You said the Black Holy Grail would distort the wishes of the wisher. So, the real Holy Grail must have a similar function. It's not about distortion, but rather requiring the wisher to define the way their ambiguous wish will be fulfilled. Otherwise, it's impossible to say how the Holy Grail will define that method, and whether it will cause any unforeseen consequences. How world peace can be achieved... I can't imagine. Perhaps a beautiful dream where no one is harmed?"

"Can something like that really be considered salvation? I wouldn't bet on it."

"So, the answer you're hoping for is my wish—to revive all those who died due to the Beast's arrival!"

The wish was granted, and the souls within the cup were released. A stream of light shot up from Mount Enzo, showering the entire Fuyuki like raindrops.

The souls returned to their bodies, and humans who had lost their bodies also reconstructed their bodies due to their wishes.

The event "[Fuyuki Defense War for the Survival of Humanity]" has concluded. The current number of survivors is 831347.

Congratulations to the player who won the highest reward. Reward: 3 [Blank Cards], one card of the Heroic Spirit participating in this Holy Grail War, and a two-level upgrade to the player's Heroic Spirit panel.

Jiang You's spiritual base suddenly expanded by more than one circle, and except for luck and treasure, all panels reached C level.

It can be said to be a very big leap, from a fifth-rate servant to a fourth-rate servant.

As for the rewards, needless to say, are there any other options besides the God Ancestor?

At the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu's favorability reward [Bitter Choice]*1 finally arrived in Jiang You's deck, which made everyone happy.

"Then the Holy Grail ceremony is over. Our contract is about to end. The time for farewell has come, and it is time for Rome to leave."

Seeing that the dust had settled, Romulus's crown spiritual base could no longer be maintained and began to dissipate on its own. He seemed to sense something at the last moment and bowed slightly to Jiang You.

"Caster, Rome will come when you need it!"

Lancelot also performed a knight's salute to Jiang You and returned to the Throne of Heroes.

All that was left was Bai Mao staring at Jiang You - Jiang You thought she would also return to the Throne of Heroes, and was still waiting for her to say her final goodbye.

"Master... the contract between you and me doesn't seem to have been interrupted by the end of the Holy Grail Ceremony. I seem to be able to continue existing. And you don't seem to be affected either."

Baimao told his situation in detail.

"Can I continue playing after the script ends?"

This was the first time Jiang You wanted to praise Konami so much. A world that changes instantly with the player's behavior, allowing players to see the traces they left behind and actively change the plot was really too conscientious!

With an uncontrollable smile on his face, Jiang You grabbed Kiritsugu and Baimao's necks and said, "In that case, let's have a celebration party! We won't go home until we're drunk tonight!"

Chapter 62 Are you my Master?

"Ms. Illya, do you really not need to use the holy relics you prepared?"

Sera looked at Illya who stepped into the bathtub and asked with some concern.

"And you also handed over the crystal of the Third Law to the head of the family. We, the Einzbern family, have already obtained what we desired. We can completely rely on this crystal to deduce the Third Law. In fact, there is no need for us to participate in the Holy Grail War."

"Sera, I am not participating in the Holy Grail War to win."

After Illya handed over the soul crystal given by Jiang You to the head of the family, the Einzbern family decided to fully support Illya in summoning Jiang You. Ahad believed that Jiang You must be a heroic spirit with a deep connection with the magician of the Third Law, and even prepared to remove Jiang You from the Holy Grail War.

"I did it of my own accord, wanting to see my mother again."

Illya slowly sank into the water. She had been looking forward to this moment. "The legendary Hercules is certainly very powerful, but the Heroic Spirit I want to summon has already won an extraordinary Holy Grail War. He is the strongest."

"Since the young lady is so confident, I won't say any more."

Sera lowered her head and slowly backed away, beginning to prepare materials for Illya's summoning ritual.

In fact, the summoning ceremony had been prepared long ago. The Einzbern family had originally planned to let Illya use the body of the Lesser Holy Grail and a large number of Command Spells to control the powerful Berserker, but it was shelved for some reason until Illya suddenly proposed to summon Caster.

Ahad did not agree, but after Illya showed him some of the flow she felt from the Heavenly Clothes state, Ahad agreed to her request.

After showering and changing, Illya arrived in front of the summoning circle. Under the puzzled gazes of her maids, Sera and Lijelite, she walked to the spot where the holy relic should be placed.

"Don't be surprised. This is the contract I made with that Servant."

Illya placed her palm on her chest, feeling the flow of magic within her body, "Mom, I'm here to see you."

Illya began her summoning, and the servants responded with lightning!

Looking at the Servant that appeared before her, Illya's pupils trembled slightly, and she cried out in disbelief.

"Berserker!? Where's my Caster!"

Under the moon, in the woods outside Fuyuki City.

The hooded girl walked through the mottled shadows of the trees, occasionally burying black magic balls wherever she passed.

The girl was Sakura Matou. After hiding for several days, she finally collected the magic materials needed to set up the summoning formation.

After the soul crystal restored her original magic circuits, the accuracy of her magic control was nearly twice as high as before, but the special nature of her magic prevented her from using the corresponding moves systematically. Those black spots were the magic methods she had figured out.

The magic ball composed of imaginary magic power will shoot out small-scale spikes around it after activation, and has certain spatial properties.

It's more than enough for attack, but too crude for defense.

The magic circle was carved out, and Sakura did not prepare the corresponding holy relics. Instead, like Illya, she placed herself in the center of the formation. Matou Sakura originally wanted to use the soul crystal as a catalyst to summon Jiang You, but the soul crystal had already merged with her body and could not be removed.

"Caster has the ability to kill Grandpa head-on... What he was able to do ten years ago, he can do now. Please help me one more time!"

After feeling the power of changing her destiny, Matou Sakura felt a slight desire for power. Summoning a Servant was the shortest way she knew to gain power.

This is a pure compatibility summoning, without any blessing of holy relics. Sakura Matou, who has left the Matou family, has no way to find a channel to obtain holy relics.

As the summoning spell concluded, the summoning circle lit up. A sinister, ominous magical power, like a venomous snake, spread through the formation.

"Servant Rider has responded to the summons. If you seek a living sacrifice, please feel free to send me."

A Servant with long purple hair appeared here.

"Isn't that Caster..."

Although Matou Sakura did want to summon the Servant she was more familiar with, Jiang You, she had not made any agreement with Jiang You, so she did not have too much expectation. She quickly accepted this result.

Medusa looked at her master, and for some reason she saw a shadow similar to herself in Sakura Matou, which made her feel a little familiar.

"Rider, this is not a good place to talk. Please follow me."

Sakura Matou did not directly reveal to Medusa her idea of ​​killing Zouken Matou, as she still needed to understand her servant.

Sakura Matou was walking through the woods with Medusa. Her way of moving was too ordinary. It was not that she did not want to improve efficiency, but after the reconstruction of the magic circuit, her previous magic was difficult to perform.

"Master, are you still not familiar with your own magic?"

Medusa saw Sakura Matou's inconvenience, so she walked up and hugged her around the waist.

"excuse me!"

Earlier, after getting off work, Jiang You quickly washed up and slept in his forward-moving device. After completing Fate Zero, his login options now included the Fate Stay Night world. A countdown of less than two hours ticked by, signaling the arrival of a new scenario.

The only thing that Jiangyou was dissatisfied with was that the testers couldn't play on the official server. Although the Fate collaboration was very well-made, the frequency of playing cards was too low, and most of the time it felt more like an RPG game.

After returning to Fate Zero to visit his righteous companions who were participating in the reconstruction of Fuyuki, Jiang You tried to summon Sakura Matou to improve her favorability, but was prompted that the character was occupied by the plot. He had no choice but to exit and clicked on the Fate staynight icon boredly.

Suddenly, the progress bar started running.

"?"

Jiang You's consciousness seemed to fall into an ocean.

"Is this coming in? What the hell is this bug?"

He had no choice but to swim towards the light.

Atram Gariasta was a little distressed. He spent a lot of money to buy the Golden Fleece as a catalyst to summon Caster from the Age of Gods to fulfill his wish of summoning a dragon.

But for some reason, the position of Caster seemed to be occupied by something, and he could not successfully summon it no matter what. However, the information he received from the supervisor of the Holy Grail War was that no Master had summoned Caster yet.

"What the hell, this thing can't be a fake!"

After failing more than ten times, Atram angrily threw the Golden Fleece to the ground. Although his lineage of magic had been passed down for only a hundred years, he was extremely confident in his own magical skills. He had checked the summoning ceremony several times and found nothing missing.

The moment the golden fleece fell into the summoning circle, the ritual was successfully initiated. A vast magical force swept everything around it into the air, and the Servant appeared within the vortex of that magical power.

A black-haired oriental youth stood in the center of the magic circle.

"Caster Jiang You, I have responded to the summons. I ask you, are you my Master?"

63

Chapter 63: I also know a little bit about price magic.

"Jiang You...? Has there ever been such a person among the holders of the Golden Fleece?"

Atram looked at his servant. He didn't look Greek at all, and his name didn't match.

He used the power of the Master to check Jiang You's panel. This Servant was not very powerful. Even his main attribute, magic, was only C. The only bright spot was his Gundam EX Noble Phantasm.

"Are you a Heroic Spirit from the Age of Gods?"

Atram, still unwilling to give up, asked again. He really wanted to summon a dragon familiar.

"Oh no, it's not Illya!"

Jiang You looked at his Master, who had Middle Eastern features, with a headache. He had never expected to be summoned by a normal job assignment. He had thought that this time his Master would finally be an attractive girl.

Now it will be picked up by Soichiro Kuzuki.

Jiang You's disappointed expression made Atram feel slighted. He had participated in the Holy Grail War to win honor for his family that matched his status. It could be said that he was fighting for his own dignity, and he was particularly concerned about such matters.

Atram, "A mere familiar," swallowed the disgust that welled up in his mouth and resumed his amiable and elegant demeanor.

"Caster, don't make the mistake. As a Master, I am naturally prepared to suppress other opponents."

Atram waved to Jiang You, indicating that he should follow him.

"War is a competition of resources. The abundance of logistics determines victory."

This is a luxurious villa with gorgeous decoration and amazing security. During the time Jiang You followed Atram to the door, he felt the magical fluctuations from more than ten people.
