Kotomine Kirei stood in front of the magic communication device and reported what happened in the Matou family residence last night.
"Kill Matou Zouken? Why? Could he be the last Master who never showed up?"
Tōsaka Tokiomi was stunned for a moment, then he stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression.
As the manager of the Fuyuki City Magic Association, he knew very well that the Matou family would definitely send someone to participate in this Holy Grail War, but he was not sure who it would be.
After all, as the nominal head of the family, Tsuruno obviously has no magical talent, which is almost an open secret in the magic circle.
Kariya also chose to run away from home at a very early age because he did not want to become a magician.
As for the next generation Shinji and Sakura, they are not suitable because they are too young, so in Tōsaka Tokiomi's eyes, only Zōken is the most suitable.
Kotomine Kirei shook his head expressionlessly: "No, the Master of the last Servant Berserker is Matou Kariya. He teamed up with Caster to kill Zouken and has now completely left the Matou family with Sakura."
"What? It's Kariya!"
Tōsaka Tokiomi was visibly surprised.
Because of his wife, he knew this young man quite well. He understood that the other party didn't like magic at all and even had an inexplicable aversion to it.
This means that Matou Kariya did not receive strict and systematic magic education since childhood.
Under normal circumstances, if you want to train such a person to become a qualified Master, it will take at least several years or even more than ten years.
But as far as he knew, Kariya had returned to the family just a year ago for unknown reasons.
Could it be that the Matou family possesses some secret method that I don't know about, which can train a qualified magician and master in a short period of time?
Why would Kariya team up with outsiders to kill Zōen, the person who raised him?
What happened between the two? Most importantly, does this mean that Berserker and Caster's Masters will unite to form a strong alliance?
If this is true, then the advantage that we have worked so hard to build up will be greatly weakened.
After all, there is an essential difference between three to one and three to two.
What's more, Assassin is not a servant suitable for frontal combat.
After thinking for a long time, Tōsaka Tokiomi raised his head and continued to ask: "What are Caster and her Master doing?"
"Since last night, Caster has been taking Sakura to wander the streets aimlessly, shopping, playing, and eating randomly. In just a few hours, they spent nearly tens of millions. Her Master has been staying with Matou Kariya the whole time."
Without hesitation, Kotomine Kirei spoke out what he had observed.
In fact, this is why Tōsaka Tokiomi deliberately arranged for him to fake his exit from the very beginning, and then ordered him to hide in the dark to collect intelligence and assassinate the Master.
From another perspective, this is a textbook-level application of the Assassin class.
"You mean... Caster and her Master separated? Was it intentional to lure the others into launching an attack?"
Tōsaka Tokiomi narrowed his eyes and showed a look of vigilance.
Because normally, the Master of the Holy Grail War would not let his Servants stay too far away from him.
Otherwise, once attacked by other Servants, he must consume a Command Spell to summon his own Servant to his side.
There are only three such opportunities in total, and they will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
Kotomine Kirei thought for a moment and quickly replied, "I think it's more like confidence in his own strength and trust in Berserker's ability. After all, we know nothing about the last Servant's ability and identity so far."
"Can you find a chance to try to assassinate Caster's Master? It doesn't matter if you succeed or not, as long as you can get some information about Berserker."
Tōsaka Tokiomi made his own judgment quickly.
He never fights an unprepared battle and will not attack rashly without knowing the strength of the opponent's servant.
"Of course I can, but I need help. Maybe you can tell Kayneth to ask Lancer to help. Otherwise, Assassin alone will have a hard time withstanding Berserker's violent attacks."
Kotomine Kirei made a request very calmly.
He finally realized that among the Servant Hassan Sabbah he summoned in this Holy Grail War, he was definitely the weakest one in frontal combat, and it could even be said that he was completely beaten.
Tōsaka Tokiomi nodded without hesitation: "No problem, I will find a way to make Kayneth cooperate, whether he is willing or not. In any case, you must be careful. Because in addition to this pair, the Einzbern family and the magician assassin Emiya Kiritsugu hired by them are also targets that need attention."
"clear!"
Kotomine Kirei placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly, then turned around and returned to his small room in the church.
Just as he stepped over the threshold, he saw Gilgamesh, a man with short blond hair, wearing a T-shirt and casual pants, lying on the sofa, drinking red wine in a very leisurely manner. From a distance, he looked like an idle dude rather than the oldest heroic king in human history.
"Archer?"
Kotomine Kirei, whose facial expression never changed much, was obviously very surprised.
After all, although the two belonged to the same camp, he had never had any conversation with each other. The only contact was when he sent Assassin to pretend to invade the Tohsaka mansion.
What's more, he already knew that the "master" in front of him was arrogant, conceited, and contemptuous, and he couldn't understand why he came to him.
And it is not difficult to tell from the empty wine bottles scattered on the ground that Gilgamesh has been here for some time.
"Although the quantity here is much less than Tokiomi's wine cellar, the quality is far superior to the former. I can't believe you secretly hid so many good wines without telling your teacher."
Jin Shanshan fiddled with the wine glass in his hand with a teasing tone in his voice.
His tone, which sounded like a conversation between friends, immediately confused Kotomine Kirei, and he asked directly, "What exactly do you want?"
Gilgamesh raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned his head and stared at the man with some interesting flaws in his personality with his red eyes, and replied with a half-smile: "Nothing, I just think I'm not the only one who is bored with this Holy Grail War."
"boring?"
Kotomine Kirei clearly frowned.
He obviously didn't like the other person's tone and attitude when he spoke.
"Otherwise, as a Master protected by the Church, you probably wouldn't leave the Church so easily, right? You've actually been pursuing something, but you haven't even realized it yet."
Gilgamesh began to steer the conversation in his own way.
"I don't understand what you are saying. Are you beginning to feel dissatisfied with the contract between you and your teacher? Are you holding a grudge against him because he used the Command Seal to end the battle between you and Caster?"
Kotomine Kirei squatted down and picked up the empty bottle on the ground, his voice still steady with a slight rise and fall.
Because everything he is doing now is due to the arrangements of his father and teacher, not his own inner desire.
So he actually doesn't care whether he succeeds or fails.
"Humph! I admit that Caster is quite capable, but I already know how to deal with her. Next time, I will make her kneel before the king and repent."
Gilgamesh was undoubtedly still brooding over his loss to little Annie in the last contest, and he was determined to summon the [Chains of Heaven] as soon as they met next time.
Because he also believed that this seemingly inconspicuous little thing must be the famous Zeus, the king of gods.
This also means that the other party possesses extremely high divinity.
The greatest feature or ability of [Chains of Heaven] is that the higher the divinity of the target being captured and bound, the harder the chain and the greater the binding force will be.
When the time comes, combined with the Sword of Separation, I will definitely be the one who wins the final victory.
"So you have already formulated a battle plan that will lead to victory?" Kotomine Kirei asked tentatively in an uncertain tone.
Gilgamesh responded with a proud look on his face: "Do not underestimate the treasure house of the most ancient king, bastard. I own the entire world, as well as everything in the past, present and future. Naturally, there are things specifically used to deal with gods."
These words made Kotomine Kirei raise his eyebrows in surprise: "Oh? Then why didn't you tell the teacher? He racked his brains to deal with Caster."
"Because Tokiomi is so boring. I never thought that there would be someone as boring as him, who only pursues to reach the root, and has no desire for wealth, ambition, power and desire. In comparison, I am more interested in you. Especially what kind of wish you want to achieve with the help of the Holy Grail."
After saying that, Gilgamesh sat up and looked with interest at this guy who had been constantly suppressing himself, and the dark desires hidden in the deepest part of his soul.
"I...I don't have any wishes."
Kotomine Kirei clearly hesitated.
Gilgamesh grasped this point sharply, chuckled and retorted: "That's impossible, right? After all, according to the rules, the Holy Grail will only choose those who are qualified, have strong obsessions and even desires."
"That's true. But even I don't understand why I, who have no ideals or aspirations, was chosen to participate in this battlefield."
Kotomine Kirei spoke out his truest feelings like a body without a soul.
"Then wouldn't it be better to just pursue pleasure?"
Gilgamesh gives his advice directly.
Kotomine Kirei's face suddenly changed, and he scolded in a tone that sounded both angry and a little guilty: "Pleasure? Are you kidding me! Do you want me to get involved in that kind of sin and depravity?"
"Sin? Depravity? Your idea is really interesting. Why is pleasure associated with such negative things? Is this the only way to feel pleasure?"
Gilgamesh asked a question that touched the heart with great meaning.
It was obvious that he had been thinking about changing his Master ever since he was forcibly recalled by the Command Spell last time, and Kotomine Kirei was the most ideal candidate among all the targets he could currently contact.
In particular, this guy's mental state of being suppressed for a long time and having personality defects is very interesting, at least much more interesting than the rigid Toosaka Tokiomi.
If he could be trained a little, he would definitely become a Master who could enjoy pleasure with him.
Unlike other summoned heroic spirits, Gilgamesh never had any regrets, obsessions, or thoughts of wanting to redeem himself from past mistakes. He simply enjoyed the game.
This means that he is completely different from other Servants in terms of mentality.
Poor Kotomine Kirei had not yet realized that he had become something like a toy or a pet, and was being led step by step to the edge of the cliff.
When he began to feel pleasure, he began to fall into an abyss of no return.
…
On the other side, little Annie, who had been having fun in the bustling downtown area for more than ten hours, was sitting at a table in an outdoor restaurant, enjoying the delicious meal served by the waiter.
Although there were only two little kids about half a person's height sitting at the table and no adults at all, the restaurant staff did not dare to be negligent at all. Several women even stood by and were responsible for pouring drinks and handling various difficult-to-cook foods such as crabs and shrimps.
Of course, it wasn't because little Annie used magic to influence or control them, but because she used her "money" ability to directly buy the entire store.
Looking through the glass window into the restaurant, one can clearly see a middle-aged man, who is not sure whether he is the store manager or the boss, sitting in front of the cashier counter, his face beaming as he counts and checks several thick stacks of 10,000 yuan banknotes.
When faced with such generous customers, age no longer matters. Even an eighty or ninety-year-old paralyzed man will be guaranteed to be served comfortably.
Anyway, no matter who these two naughty kids belong to, it doesn’t matter as long as the money given is real.
The only thing that made the middle-aged man feel a little uneasy was that these brand new ten-thousand-yuan bills looked just like they had just come off an assembly line. Not only were they of incredibly good quality, but they were all in consecutive numbers.
If there had not been any bank robbery or theft reports in the Fuyuki City news, and if the two girls were not so young, he would have suspected that he had encountered a thief or a robber.
But little Annie obviously didn't care what the people in the restaurant were thinking and kept stuffing her favorite food into her mouth.
Due to her divine powers, her stomach is a bottomless pit and she will never feel full no matter how much she eats.
However, this way of eating obviously scared Xiaoying a lot, and she couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Um... don't you feel bloated after eating so much?"
You know, she witnessed with her own eyes that little Annie ate food that was many times more than her own weight in these ten hours.
Especially cold drinks and desserts. Normally, children of this age would start to have stomach upset if they eat a little more.
But little Annie went through several stores.
What made her feel even more unbelievable was that the adults around her turned a blind eye to it.
"No. Don't forget that I am a Servant and a Heroic Spirit. I am completely different from ordinary people like you."
Little Annie blinked her eyes playfully, and it was obvious that she had begun to fit in with the role she was playing.
After all, she had no way of telling others about her special identity, so when she encountered situations that were unreasonable and inexplicable, she would simply blame them on her servants.
Sakura, who was being trained as the next successor to the Matou family, obviously knew about the Holy Grail War and Servants. She immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then raised her head with a nervous look on her face and glanced at the waiters standing nearby, fearing that their conversation would be heard by the other party.
In this world, whether it is magic or sorcery, its essence is that people cannot understand it, so it has a special attribute called "mystery".
So mystery is the source of all supernatural powers.
This is also why the power of magic and sorcery was stronger in ancient times when natural science was not yet developed, but has become weaker as we get closer to modern times.
Normally, for a thing to be blessed with a "mysterious" attribute it must be beyond the comprehension of human wisdom.
For example, there are high-tech creations that are beyond the understanding of current human cognition, historical and mythological legends that are too ancient to be fully verified, or those that are so unpopular that they are not known to people at all.
To give the simplest example, in ancient times when people could not understand the principles of flight, magicians could easily fly in the sky as long as they learned the magic of flying.
But since the invention of the airplane, humans began to understand the basic principles of flight, and the mystery of flight was dispelled. From then on, magicians who could use flying magic to make their feet lift off the ground by even one centimeter were considered incredible geniuses.
Therefore, magicians who rely on mystery to gain power are probably the group of people who least want to see the development of technology.
Because every major breakthrough in science and technology means the fading of mystery.
Some extremists even long for a world war to push society back to the Stone Age.
By then, as long as all reserves of knowledge and technology are destroyed and after a few generations of civilization has degraded significantly, the mysterious nature will slowly revive.
It’s a pity that they can only think about these things but dare not do them themselves.
Otherwise, the two major inhibitory forces will arrange everything for you clearly in minutes.
To sum up, in order to prevent the mystery from further decline, magicians attach great importance to confidentiality and want to hide all the mysteries that have not been discovered and understood by humans.
The reason why Sakura was nervous was that she was afraid of revealing the mystery of the Holy Grail War.
But little Annie comforted them nonchalantly: "Don't worry, they will subconsciously ignore everything they shouldn't hear, because I have already used a little trick."
“Is it magic?”
Sakura's eyes sparkled with intense curiosity.
Because in her eyes, the girl who called herself Caster exuded incredible mystery from head to toe.
The most intuitive example is that there are no pockets on the skirt, but bundles of banknotes can always be taken out immediately when needed, and the adults will not doubt the origin of the banknotes at all, let alone treat the two of them as children.
They even turn a blind eye when a police car passes by.
You have to know that in the island country, if a little girl half the height of this person is seen walking on the street late at night by the police, they will definitely take her away and look for a guardian.
"Yeah, yeah, that's magic."
Little Annie nodded perfunctorily.
After all, in this world where mystery is the basis for supernatural powers such as magic and sorcery, she, an outsider, is basically a bug.
Whether it is the spells used or the magical items and artifacts created with technology that does not exist in this world, they will receive unimaginable huge mysterious blessings.
Even its existence itself represents the ultimate mystery.
Therefore, even the very common first-level arcane spell [Charm Human] in Faerun can exert the effect of [Mass Charm] here.
Because people don't know or understand this supernatural power, even magicians are no exception.
This is why little Annie is eager to reach the outer roots and create her first planeswalker land card there.
Because once successful, it means that the magical knowledge, power and items she obtained from other time and space and even the universe will be mysteriously blessed by this world, and then in the process of use, they will produce effects several times or even dozens of times greater than normal.
At that time, he will be able to punch his younger brother Graya, ignore the discipline of his father Zuo Si, and do whatever he wants.
Little Annie swallowed the food in her mouth and rolled her eyes nonchalantly: "Why be afraid? Anyway, no one saw it, and no one noticed it. As long as it is not discovered, it is almost as if it does not exist. This is the valuable experience I have summed up."
"ah?!"
听到这番歪理，向来循规蹈矩乖巧懂事的小樱整个人都惊呆了。
“嘿嘿，你就是太乖了才会被那些坏人利用。记住，这个世界上好孩子永远都是要吃亏的，你得学会变得坏一点。”
小安妮趁机向对方灌输自己那套尚不完善的价值观，同时往地上扔了一块牛排。
被变成狗的雨生龙之介立马扑上去开始用力撕咬吞咽，并且疯狂摇尾巴发出汪汪叫的声音讨小主人欢心。
经过短短几天的适应期，他已经知道自己眼下的处境究竟有多么危险。
一旦主人失去兴趣，那么等待他的将会是远比死亡更可怕的结局。
小樱低下头瞥了一眼这只始终趴在桌子附近待命的丑陋小狗，刚想开口询问它是从哪来的时候，一个巨大的阴影突然出现在背后并遮挡了头顶的阳光。
“呦！Caster，你昨晚闹出了那么大的动静现在居然还有心情四处游玩、吃喝。”
穿着便装的伊斯坎达尔十分熟络的打了声招呼，完全看不出两人之间差点打起来的紧张关系。
不得不说，在心胸开阔和人格魅力这方面，他的表现绝对是顶级的，完全不逊色于人类最古老的王吉尔伽美什。
可小安妮显然并不吃这一套，直接毫不客气的反问道：“那又怎么样？说得好像那些胆小鬼敢来找我麻烦一样。”
“哈哈哈哈！众神之王宙斯果然是不同凡响呢。莫非你打算同时与除了Berserker之外所有的从者为敌吗？就不怕我们联合起来对付你？”
伊斯坎达尔大笑着坐到餐桌旁边，直接拿起一瓶尚未开封的昂贵顶级葡萄酒仰起头咕咚咕咚喝了起来，完全没拿自己当外人。
反倒是跟在后面的御主韦伯·维尔维特看到酒的商标嘴角不受控制的轻微抽搐了一下。
因为他可不是对奢侈品价格一无所知的从者，知道这玩意的售价究竟有多么离谱，只需要两到三瓶就能抵得上自己全部的身家。
可伊斯坎达尔倒好，只用了十几秒钟就将其全部喝光一滴不剩。
“那岂不是更好？省得我还要一个一个的去找。”
小安妮显然没有把征服王的威胁放在心上，更没有在意对方喝了一瓶价值不菲的名酒。
“所以你对自己实力有着绝对的自信咯？”
向来不知道客气为何物的征服王丢掉空瓶子，直接大大咧咧上手去抓盘子里的美食往嘴里送，遇到合自己口味的还不忘称赞两句。
很显然，他把这里当成了自己那个时代的宴会，所以并不觉得吃吃喝喝有什么问题。
但韦伯·维尔维特却觉得这种蹭吃蹭喝的行为十分丢人，几次想要尝试把自己的从者拽回来但都没能拽动。
毕竟两人之间的体格相跟力气差实在是太大了。
小安妮饶有兴致打量了一下这对有趣的组合，然后才一脸骄傲的回应道：“这不是自信，而是我从一开始就跟你们这些普通从者不一样。
我们之间的差距就像是传说故事中的神和英雄，从一开始就没有什么可比性。
所以不要对圣杯存有任何幻想，因为它已经属于我的东西了。
至于包括你在内的其他从者跟御主，最多能够做到的就是让我玩得开心一点。”
“喂喂喂！你这是在提前发表胜利宣言吗？”
伊斯坎达尔露出了十分夸张的表情。
他突然发现眼前这个看上去十分可爱的小家伙，骨子里其实比人类最古老的英雄王吉尔伽美什还要傲慢。
因为金闪闪只是将自己视作人世间掌握一切权力、财富和欲望的君主，而小安妮的自我认知却是凌驾于凡世之上的魔神。
两者之间存在这一种肉眼可见的巨大等级差距。
“随便你怎么想，反正圣杯我要定了。”
小安妮挥舞着手中吃掉一半的炸虾再一次公开表明了对于圣杯势在必得的决心，丝毫没有察觉到在不远处有一只来自新非瑞克西亚的微型侦查机器已经锁定了自己，并且向超时空信号塔发送了信息。
由于这些几乎很难凭借肉眼观察到的小玩意是依靠魔力波动的剧烈程度，以及她身上几件特定的神器来进行搜索的，因此一旦发现符合条件的对象就会立刻靠近并拍摄影像资料传输回去。
最后再由专门的人负责处理并判断究竟是不是左思的女儿。
同样的，正在参加第四次圣杯战争的御主和英灵们也没有意识到，接下来的圣杯战争将会因为旅法师的参与而产生怎样剧烈的变化。
……
穆塔哈尔浮空城，正在忙碌着研究和处理星神碎片的金吉塔厦几乎在第一时间就接到了来自手下的报告。
看着屏幕上展示出来的画面，还有女孩那极具辨识性的行为举止，他立刻停止手头上的工作询问道：“这是从哪个时空捕捉到的？”
“X819684时空。”
新非瑞克西亚造物不加思索报出了型月世界的编号。
“X819684？二类魔法时空？”
金吉塔厦迅速通过自己的权限进入资料库翻看了相应的记录，立刻就意识到小安妮这是要借助旅法师火花的力量获取神秘加持，以便让自己的魔法力量得到最大程度强化。
随着对于火花的研究不断深入，他已经非常了解旅法师获取力量的方式。
“大人，需要马上把这件事情报告给伟大的新非瑞克西亚之父吗？”手下小心翼翼的询问道。
金吉塔厦并没有立刻给出答复，而是继续追问：“你们没有惊动公主殿下吧？”
新非瑞克西亚造物赶忙摇了摇头：“没有。我向您保证，这一切都是在暗中秘密进行的，她根本没有察觉到那些微型探索者和侦查者。”
“非常好。我现在命令你立刻停止一切不必要的活动，宁可放弃监视也绝对不能被公主殿下发现。”
金吉塔厦毫不犹豫下达了严格的禁令。
因为整个新非瑞克西亚就没有人比他更清楚点燃了火花的小安妮究竟有多么难搞。
一旦意识到自己的行踪已经暴露直接启动火花逃走，那么在想要找到恐怕就不知道要等到猴年马月了。
所以眼下最需要做的就是稳住对方，让这个小祖宗相信自己还是安全的。
与此同时，他又立刻通知躲在卡玛泰姬摆弄现实宝石的左思本人，将这个重大发现一五一十的说了出来。
“所以我的女儿跑到另外一个世界去参加圣杯战争了？她想要连接根源以获得神秘的加持？”
左思在听完报告后露出了十分意外的表情。
金吉塔厦赶忙点了点头：“是的，伟大的新非瑞克西亚之父。
您的女儿显然已经察觉到了那个时空的神秘所能给自身魔法力量所带来的巨大增幅。
而且由于她也是一名旅法师。
除了您之外恐怕没人能在不伤害她的前提下将其抓住。”
“呵呵，有意思，原来这个小东西也开始意识到要构建属于自己独特的力量体系了吗？”
看到女儿开始有所成长，左思脸上浮现出了老父亲特有的欣慰笑容。
要知道原本他还觉得以小安妮现如今的心理年龄，就算跑出去肯定也是吃喝玩乐、胡作非为，根本不可能去干什么正经事。
可谁想到竟然歪打正着进入型月世界并对能够增幅魔法力量的神秘产生了兴趣。
一旦真的在某种程度上掌握了根源，那么小安妮就会在现有的基础上朝着更高级的生命形态进化，甚至是有可能成为魔法这个抽象概念的象征。
而且根源是没有意识的，就如同万物之源、万物之因、万物的起点与终点一样，属于整个时空最原始的本质。
或许普通人的灵魂无法承受住吸收它所带来的巨大冲击，但对于像她这样的类神力兼旅法师来说却是通往更高层面的钥匙。
唯一的问题是，作为根源的守门人，该世界的两大抑制力会作何反应。
想到这，左思直接给自己远在费伦大陆的儿子发了个传唤信息。
仅仅一秒钟之后，黑暗王子格雷亚便凭空出现，以一种十分优雅的仪态弯下腰鞠了一躬。
“父亲，请问您突然召唤我有什么重要的事情吗？”
“夜之女神莎尔最近没有频繁骚扰你吧？”
左思用半开玩笑的语气调侃了一句。
格雷亚赶忙苦笑着摇了摇头：“不，没有。自从上次我把她的化身赶走之后，她最多就是偶尔会以投影的方式出现在我的梦境中。”
“你会做梦？”
左思明显吃了一惊。
因为黑暗王子也是不折不扣的类神力，理论上应该是不需要睡眠、更不会有所谓的梦境。
“嗯，是的，我正在尝试着构建黑暗与梦境之间的联系。”
格雷亚没有隐瞒什么大大方方说出了自己的打算。
“所以是你主动选择了梦境，而非梦境找上了你。”
左思瞬间明白了自己这位好大儿的想法。
After all, these two things are strongly correlated.
Basically all gods who possess dark powers have priesthoods such as sleep and nightmares.
If the fusion is successful, darkness and dreams will be intertwined to construct a world between reality and fantasy, or even an independent dimension.
After understanding this, Zuo Si immediately raised his hand and took out a planeswalker spark that was flickering with a faint light. He said to Graya, "Before you were born, I once met a powerful planeswalker who used dreams as a means of weaving. He was called the Nightmare King - Ashiok. This is the spark I took out from his soul when I killed him. It contains the unique power he nurtured."
"Ashiok? The one who can turn nightmares into physical form?"
The Dark Prince stared at Sparks with intense curiosity in his eyes.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes, it's him.
Ashiok harnesses the power of fear better than anyone else, believing it to be the fairest measure of the multiverse.
Although I think he went too extreme in some aspects.
But it is undeniable that he is an absolute master in this field, even those gods with nightmare priesthood are no exception.
Believe me, Shar's understanding of nightmares is childish compared to Ashiok's.
So I'm giving it to you now for your reference."
"Thank you very much."
Graya carefully took the spark and felt the power contained in it, and he became extremely excited.
Because this is exactly what he needs most right now.
"Don't thank me so quickly. This is not free. I need you to do something in exchange." Zuo Si interrupted with a smile.
"Please tell me, I promise I will do it to your satisfaction."
There was no trace of hesitation in the Dark Prince's tone, and he did not feel that there was any problem that he could not solve.
But just a second later his expression turned extremely ugly.
"The mission I'm going to give you is to find your sister, and then replace a Master or Servant in the Holy Grail War without being discovered by her, to make this game a little more difficult.
Of course, the most important thing is to ensure that she will not suffer any loss when she clashes with the two major willpowers when touching the root.
How about this task? It shouldn't be too difficult for you, right? After all, Shar gave you a copy of the darkness and nothingness of the crystal wall where Toril was located when it was first created.
Combined with your own strength, if you are willing, you can completely hide the sparks so that no one, including me, can detect them."
Zuo Si made his request calmly.
He definitely wouldn't do something as futile as going straight to catch little Annie back.
Because ever since this little ancestor became a planeswalker, the previous punishment of confinement has no meaning anymore.
What's more, Zuo Si didn't want to learn Odin's rough educational methods and eventually turn his daughter into an enemy.
"Do you really have to have me? Can't you find someone else?"
Graya obviously didn't want to face her troublesome sister at all.
At least until the other person grows up and becomes sensible, I will definitely keep my distance from him/her.
Zuo Si spread his hands helplessly and said, "Besides you, do you think I can find another person who meets the requirements? You know, she ran away without saying a word the moment the spark was ignited, and I couldn't even stop her in time."
"Damn it! You should have given her a good beating. I heard from mortals that a naughty child like this should be beaten twice more."
The Dark Prince gritted his teeth and began to try to strengthen his sister.
“I’m sorry, son, I can’t do this.
Because your sister can't be scared away by just beating her up a couple of times.
Do you believe that if I hit her once, she would run away from home and never come back?
So now I can only place my hopes on you.
Because if you hit her, she will only be dissatisfied and try to retaliate.
Come on, I'm rooting for you."
Zuo Si patted the Dark Prince on the shoulder to show encouragement.
"You mean... I can let go and give my sister a memorable lesson?"
Graya's eyes lit up slightly, and it was obvious that he was planning to take this opportunity to take revenge.
"right.
After all, she is in the light and you are in the dark, so it is up to you to decide what you want to do.
Oh, by the way, remember not to make too much noise.
There are two restraining forces in that world, one is to protect the earth and the other is to protect humans.
If the damage is too severe, it will cause them to intervene."
After that, Zuo Si handed the spatial coordinates of the Type-Moon world to the Dark Prince, and then continued to study how to combine the authority in the Reality Gem with his own power.
Graya stood there thinking for a long time, then raised the corners of her mouth and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "Dear sister, this is what father wanted, please don't blame me."
Just a second later, he activated the power of the spark and disappeared on the spot.
To be exact, they arrived directly in a forest outside of Fuyuki City.
After all, planeswalkers can sense each other's sparks, and if they get too close to the city, they might be discovered.
"Give my sister the position she has now!"
The Dark Prince released a fly-sized flying oil connection terminal, which directly took over all the micro explorers and scouts in this world. After about two or three seconds, Little Annie's location was marked on the projected map...
