In the end, Duke did not consider himself as a holy relic, because who knows what would be summoned out. What if it was his dead self? That would be a terrible thing.
Duke is very self-aware. He knows that once his dead self is summoned, it will be difficult to send him back. He shudders at the thought of such a jerk existing in the world. It would be nice to have only one Duke in each world. If there are too many, the world will go crazy.
"Pah, pah, pah, how could I possibly die? The scourge will live forever, I will not die!"
Just as Duke was thinking about whether to go to the Tosaka family to borrow the Holy Widow, Matou Kariya seemed to have thought of something, and ran out of the insect library with a grunt, and then ran back with a grunt. He was holding a treasure box in his arms, and after opening it, he found a white metal glove, and his left hand was full of historical sedimentation.
"I don't know what the holy relic that Matou Zouken prepared is, but if there is one, it must be the knight's gloves in the treasure chest." Without the bugs in his body, Matou Kariya's complexion was obviously much better, and his hands and feet also went from being half-crippled to being somewhat inconvenient, but his physical strength was still poor, and he would pant like a dog after running a few steps.
"That's it, the famous NTR hand!" Duke picked up the metal glove and placed it on the altar. To be exact, it was the 'mitten gauntlet', a part of the metal armor used to protect the wrist, back of the hand and fingers.
"You just said... what hand?" Matou Kariya didn't hear clearly what Duke said.
Shichen: “What?”

Before Lancelot could finish his words, Duke waved his hand and said straightforwardly: "I don't care about your past. Even if you cheated on my king, I will still choose to trust you!"
Lancelot: "..."
Duke did not add the berserk spell when summoning. Berserker itself has the berserk skill. If it goes berserk again, it will lose its mind and be unable to think complex thoughts.
Although multiple berserks can raise Berserker's basic stats to incredible levels, the negative effect is a forced reduction in intelligence, coupled with multiple degradations of Noble Phantasms, which seriously affects Berserker's maximum output ceiling.
The metal armor is not a treasure, but it is a witness to the legendary story. As a holy relic, it can naturally summon Lancelot.
"I'm not questioning your strength, but here..." Duke poked his chest and said, "Your mentality is not right. I'm really afraid that you will use your neck to block the enemy's sword during the fight."
"You are guilty of a serious crime. Do you mean that you have cheated on King Arthur?"
Phew!
Phew!
Matou Kariya was already in unbearable pain, and after hearing Duke's infuriating words, he spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.
Lancelot lowered his head slightly upon hearing this and smiled bitterly: "After all, he is a sinner!"
"Uh..." Duke spoke quickly and almost forgot that it was not Shichen's fault that Lancelot seduced his sister-in-law.
"But you must blind yourself with chaos and serve me. You are imprisoned in the cage of madness, and I am the one who holds the chains!"
The spell to summon the heroic spirit was not long. Duke had memorized it by heart long ago. He opened his palm, which gradually revealed the spell mark, and began to chant in a low voice: "Full, full, full, full, full, full!"
"Well, don't be so polite all the time. In fact, I always feel that it's not your responsibility that King Arthur cheated on you." Duke walked to Lancelot and hooked his shoulder.
The storm dissipated, and Sakura walked to Duke with a little curiosity, looking at the heroic spirit that appeared on the magic circle map without blinking. A long-haired man in purple armor slowly opened his eyes. He had the same hair color as the armor, his eyes were very melancholy, and his temperament was also very melancholy. When he appeared, a faint sadness filled the air.
"That won't do. I finally summoned a good Servant, and I can't let you give away your life so easily."
…
In the original novel, Zouken Matou asked Kariya Matou to add the berserk spell because Kariya Matou himself did not have enough magic power, and he had to do so in order to prevent the number of Berserkers he summoned from being too low. This was not necessary for Duke, as his magic power was so much that it was about to overflow, and he did not care about the little increase brought by berserk at all.
"I wish to accomplish all the good deeds in the world, and I wish to eliminate all the evil deeds in the world..."
Lancelot once fought a battle in his lifetime, defeating a powerful enemy with a branch without a sword. Because of this widely circulated story, it was materialized into the treasure "A Knight Never Dies Barehanded".
Duke drew a magic circle on the ground with blood on his face, and said apologetically without realizing it: "I'll have a new body later, so I might as well use this blood to draw a picture instead of wasting it..."
Summoning Servants does not require a grand descent ceremony. The Holy Grail is what actually summons the Servants. Duke only needs to provide the required magic power as the Master, and the Throne of Heroes will project the corresponding phantom and materialize it in the world. Therefore, the altar, the magic map, and the Master are all needed to summon the Heroic Spirit.
Lancelot was not used to Duke's gesture of putting his arm around his shoulder, but he did not show it. He silently bent down, half a head shorter than Duke: "Thank you for your enlightenment, but a mistake is a mistake, and I will not deny my guilt."
Lancelot felt warm at heart when he heard this, thinking that it was a great honor to meet such a Master.
Another long sword was stabbed into his chest. Lancelot was like a drowning man, almost unable to breathe. He forced a smile and said in a trembling voice: "I am very sorry that my past has caused you trouble."
…
"I declare that you are under my command. My life is with your sword..."
…
"Of course it's King Arthur!" Duke had a matter-of-fact expression. King Arthur didn't have a little JJ, so he had to marry a queen to grind mirrors in the house. It would be strange if he didn't have an adulterous wife.
"Huh!?" Lancelot was confused. What else? "It's not you who's wrong, it's Shichen!"
The magic circle responded with an intense light. When the light reached its peak, a strong wind suddenly blew and a phantom gradually appeared.
Lancelot felt like he was stabbed with a sword. Master, it's enough for you to know about this. I also want to save face! "It is indeed as you said. I am guilty of my own sins..."
Lancelot longed for the Holy Grail. If he could obtain it, he could make a wish to return to the past. If he could die under the king's sword and receive the punishment he deserved, then there would be no regrets in his life.
To put it bluntly, it strengthens normal attacks but weakens ultimate skills.
Honestly speaking, the class that suits Lancelot best is Saber, but he doesn't think so. He feels that he is not worthy of the title of knight because he caused the destruction of the country. Therefore, he has always believed that the only class that suits him is Berserker.
"Because I'm single, I'm not afraid that you'll cheat on me!"
…
"Lancelot, the famous 'Knight of the Lake', it seems that I am very lucky!" Duke pretended not to know, with a look of relief and joy on his face.
This man is one of the Knights of the Round Table, the first pair of red sticks under King Arthur, and the strongest Knight of the Round Table known as the 'Knight of the Lake' - Lancelot! "Excuse me, are you my Master?" Lancelot put one hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and spoke in a very respectful tone.
"What I mean is, since it's not Shichen's fault, it certainly can't be your or the Queen's fault either. So it's obvious who's at fault!" Duke had a look on his face as if he had seen through the truth.
"You are the Seventh Heaven who is entangled with the Three Great Word Spirits, and you come from the Wheel of Restraint, the Guardian of Libra..."
"Don't vomit, that's enough... Ah, fainted? You're so young and your body isn't doing well. Remember to eat more pig liver to replenish your blood. If you have kidney problems, remember to come to my clinic and I'll write you a prescription."
Sakura stood by with her head tilted, silently memorizing Duke's words and actions, absorbing Duke's philosophy of life like a sponge.
Oh, there is an honest man here, come and bully him! Duke raised his eyebrows: "Xiao Lan, you are wrong to say that! We are all adults, and you are also a workplace elite among the Knights of the Round Table. How can you not have the spirit of passing on the blame? Don't always take the responsibility on yourself. Can it be your fault that you seduced the queen and cheated on King Arthur?"
Lancelot didn't know that the cheating King Dumb was also participating in this Holy Grail War, so when he heard Duke's words, he said confidently: "Please believe in my strength, I will definitely win the Holy Grail for you!"
Lancelot swallowed his saliva, thinking that he could still overturn the verdict, and escaped and asked, "Who is that person?"
Lancelot is worthy of the title of "Flower of Knights". He is gentle, generous, pious and polite. Except for cheating on King Arthur, there is almost no black spot in his life.
…
After hearing Lancelot's words, Duke knew that this guy had a serious tendency towards self-destruction. If he met King Sarge, he would most likely die bravely, leaving him, the master, alone.
"I said, how is it possible to summon Lancelot by relying on the attributes of the Minotaur? How shameless that is!" Duke muttered to himself, and suddenly punched Matou Kariya in the stomach. The latter opened his eyes wide, with a look of confusion on his face, and spit out blood.
Lancelot smiled self-deprecatingly upon hearing this: "Master, I am honored to receive your praise, but I am not as good as you say."
"Yes, I am your Master, my name is Duke." Duke showed the Command Seal that was formed on the back of his hand. Lancelot half-knelt on the ground: "So, the contract is concluded! My name is Lancelot, I come to this battle as a Berserker, I will be the sword in your hand, and win the final victory for you!"
Master, did you misunderstand something? It was me who cheated on you... ahem, it was me who seduced you... ahem, anyway, the victim is the king, and I am the one wielding the hoe.
Duke hooked Lancelot's shoulder and patted him hard: "Think about it, if King Arthur can satisfy the queen, there will be no chance for you to take advantage of him. Therefore, it is King Arthur's fault that you and the queen are having an affair!"
What you said makes a lot of sense... Bah, what kind of nonsense is that!
Lancelot was stunned. It seemed that his Master had serious problems with his logical thinking!
