Conceptual Craft Essence - [500 Years of Obsession]
But since they are both item-based players, Chen Luo might not necessarily be afraid of them if they only use items.
We One Sight Like Old Friends... Let's play Truth or Dare, the kind where we decide the winner with a game of chess.
Or we could play Russian roulette, and I bet my gun has bullets and I can hit you.
As for why they were initially afraid of King Hassan...
That's not called fear, nor is it called following one's heart. The essence of this matter is whether Chen Luo can actually complete missions in the Type-Moon World.
Without an ID card, even if you defeat King Hassan, you can't complete the mission.
Moreover, the abilities of those Herrscher of Restraint have an upper limit.
It's possible to deal with a few troublesome Servants individually, but the Heroic Spirit Throne has so many that it's terrifying. What if it gets overwhelmed like the Herrscher of Restraint in the Previous Era?
Moreover, if the opponent does not appear in a magical body, but is instead physically possessed or possessed, then the Herrscher of Restraint cannot exert its full effect.
"Is the Holy Grail War something so inconvenient? All this fighting is for the Holy Grail, and even the winner isn't guaranteed to get it. So I have no interest in participating; all I want is the Master qualification," Chen Luo said after noticing the somewhat surprised expressions on Matou Kariya's and the Old Worm's faces.
Since the mission only requires obtaining Master qualification, and he didn't say he had to participate in the Holy Grail War or summon Servants, why would Chen Luo do anything else?
Redundant.
"Although the things you've promised are not very tempting, I'm still willing to give you a chance," Chen Luo suddenly said just as the Old Worm was feeling quite uneasy.
"What opportunity?" the Old Worm, somewhat surprised.
"So... you must have a wish too, right? The most important wish buried deep in your heart? Come on, tell me, tell me your wish."
Come on, tell me what you're asking.
"I want to obtain the Holy Grail."
"No, that's not your wish. What do you want to do after you obtain the Holy Grail?"
"I want Old Undead!"
[Ding! You have a new request!]
Yes, nice.
Old Undead, right?
As long as you don't get old and don't die, that's fine, right?
A strange smile appeared on Chen Luo's face, Matou Zouken's heart skip a beat.
Chapter 551 Conceptual Costume - [500 Years of Obsession]
[Ding! You have a new request!]
[Old Undead]: The Old Worm, Matou Zouken, desires Old Undead. As for what his purpose would be after achieving Old Undead... does that even matter?
Rewards: 1000 Primogem + Random Rewards + 30+ Points in Matou Zouken's Affinity [500 Years of Obsession]
Difficulty: Four stars
"What... what do you want to do?" Insects survive in nature because they have extremely sharp intuition, so when Chen Luo showed that malicious smile, the Old Worm instantly became nervous.
"No, I didn't mean anything by it. Didn't you say you wanted to Old Undead? I'll grant you that wish right now." Chen Luo smiled very kindly.
So gentle that even the Old Worm couldn't help but fly around inside the bottle.
"Isn't it just about Old Undead? I do have some insights and methods for achieving Old Undead. Don't worry, you're about to become Old Undead, and it won't be painful at all." As Chen Luo spoke, he released the Old Worm directly from the bottle.
The first thing the Old Worm did after being released was to fly towards the ever-open Bar Door.
The Old Worm now felt an extremely deadly sense of crisis, as if if it didn't escape, it would say goodbye to this beautiful world forever.
The same scene, the same experience: just as the Old Worm was about to fly to the door, countless threads suddenly appeared in front of the Old Worm, instantly weaving a spider web.
Because the spider web appeared so suddenly, the Old Worm couldn't stop in time and got stuck in it.
The spider web immediately contracted after being subjected to force, instantly enveloping the fist-sized Old Worm inside. Moreover, it continued to produce silk threads, tightly wrapping the Old Worm into a cocoon.
As long as the spider silk is strong enough, no insect that falls into the web can escape.
Even the Old Worm, this insect that has lived for 500 years.
500 Years of Obsession... can be considered a release today.
Although Chen Luo generally disliked turning people he had no enmity with into puppets in abrupt ways, Old Worm was an exception.
Because from any perspective, the Old Worm had no reason to let him live.
Whether it is out of humanitarianism or from the perspective of entrustment.
Moreover, even though the Old Worm has become a puppet, it still doesn't conflict with the other party's role as a tool.
Or rather, the puppets that Chen Luo dislikes are the most suitable tools, because the transfer limit of this friend is calculated based on the discount, and all the puppets and Chen Luo have a fixed discount of 50%, which means that the discount has already reached the limit.
So if circumstances don't allow it, just make the other person your friend and then put them in the "tool" category.
If circumstances allow, turn the other person into a friend, then turn them into a puppet, and then throw them into the tool group.
Even if the other party becomes a puppet, it doesn't stop them from becoming a tool.
Take Yvette, for example.
The other party is currently listed in the "tools" section.
However, after thinking it over carefully, Chen Luo moved the other party out again.
This doesn't mean that Chen Luo's attitude towards Yvette has improved; it's mainly because Yvette herself isn't suitable to be a tool, since reviving her would cost a lot of money.
Moreover, the other party's identity means that they will definitely have to show their face in public. If one day they suddenly explode and die in the church, resurrection is not a problem, but how to restore the other party to their original identity becomes the biggest problem.
"Give me your hand, I'm going to remove the Command Seals now." Chen Luo extended his hand to Matou Kariya.
"..." Matou Kariya hesitated for a moment before extending his hand, which was marked with Command Seals, to Chen Luo.
Just as the Old Worm dared to make a dirty deal with Chen Luo in front of Matou Kariya knew that he did not have the ability to refuse Chen Luo's request for a deal.
Even if the other party wanted to be more forceful Matou Kariya couldn't resist.
After Matou Kariya offered his hand to Chen Luo instantly entered a state of detachment.
In Chen Luo's eyes at this moment, Matou Kariya's hand was no longer a physical hand; it appeared to be composed of various concepts.
Chen Luo decisively ignored the Engraving Insect hidden in the other party's blood vessels.
The key point is the Command Seal emitting a red glow on the back of the opponent's hand.
Command Seals that represent eligibility to participate in the Holy Grail War.
Chen Luo placed his palm directly on the other party's limbs and began the operation. With the activation of the Stripping Ability, even though Chen Luo did not use a scalpel to perform the surgery, the Stripping Ability was still proceeding steadily.
The removal of the Command Seals was simpler than Chen Luo had imagined.
Chen Luo hadn't used the Stripping Ability many times, and in Chen Luo memory, the most difficult thing was the peeling talent, such as Kato Megumi.
Removing Command Seals is much simpler than removing talents. It only requires placing your palm on the back of the other person's hand for half a minute, and when Chen Luo lifts his palm, the Command Seals on the back of the other person's hand have already disappeared.
In contrast, a Command Seal mark appeared on Chen Luo's palm.
Although it does look rather strange to have Command Seals installed on the palms of one's hands, Chen Luo's hands were already completely covered.
The Imaginary Stigmata and Quantum Stigmata have a very high degree of exclusivity.
Chen Luo always felt like a teenager who was getting tattoos behind his parents' backs.
Now, he has the Puppeteer's Stigmata on his back, the Imaginary Number in his left hand and the Quantum in his right, and three Command Seals in his palm.
"If my parents saw these Stigmata on my body, I don't know how angry they would be." After revealing his tattoos, Chen Luo began to feel worried as he looked at them.
Chen Luo's parents are open to whatever Chen Luo does, as long as Chen Luo doesn't suffer losses or keeps suffering losses.
Therefore, Chen Luo was not sure if his parents would beat him.
"Why care about such things? You're even afraid of being scolded by your parents. You're just like a child." Mobius, who was floating next to Chen Luo, sneered after hearing Chen Luo's words.
"Yes, yes, I am a child. Grandma Mobius, I remember what you said." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Grandma Mobius.
"!!!"
Upon hearing the word "grandmother" from Chen Luo, Mobius's forehead veins bulged.
If I had a grandson like you, I'd be so angry I'd die three times in one day.
"This is... may I see your hand?" Chen Luo, who had just finished arguing with Mobius, heard Yvette's words.
"Okay, but you'll have to wait a moment." Chen Luo said, while reaching out and touching the forehead of Matou Kariya, who was sitting opposite him.
"..." Upon seeing Chen Luo's movement, Matou Kariya instinctively flinched backward.
"Don't move, I'm helping you fulfill your wish," Chen Luo said.
"... Okay, come on." Matou Kariya glanced at the Old Worm, which looked like a worm caught in a spider web, wrapped in silk threads and shaped like a pair of scissors, and nodded.
Matou Kariya to have already foreseen his fate, but now he could only place his hopes on this.
Moreover, it seems that nowadays it's not as simple as not being able to fulfill a wish if you don't want to.
Seeing Chen Luo's determined expression, Matou Kariya roughly realized that he had boarded a pirate ship that wasn't quite a pirate ship.
At the very least, we can't just disembark temporarily.
As Chen Luo placed his index finger on Chen Luo Matou Kariya's brow, countless threads emerged from his fingertip, instantly enveloping Matou Kariya was sitting upright in the chair.
"So when you turn someone into a doll, you have to wrap them up with threads?" Yakumo Yukari asked, poking at the wrapped-up Matou Kariya.
"No, there are other ways, but this is faster, and it can also repair and strengthen the other person's body at the same time." Chen Luo shook his head.
"Here, my hand. It's strange that a nun like you has a hobby of looking at other people's hands," Chen Luo said sarcastically as he extended his hand to Yvette.
"..."
Shut up.
Although Yvette wanted to say that.
All Yvette could do was take Chen Luo's hand and examine the back of it carefully.
He examined the Stigmata displayed on the back of the other person's hand.
"By the way, Chen Luo, bring your hand over. I mean the hand with the Command Seal on the palm," Patchouli suddenly said.
"... Here, here, here. What kind of quirks do all these people have?" Chen Luo muttered to himself as he handed his palm to Patchouli.
Upon seeing Chen Luo extend his palm, Patchouli and Yun Lian'er began to carefully examine the Command Seal on Chen Luo's palm.
This quantum can be considered a magical product of knowledge from Different World; perhaps we can study something from it.
"Alo, can I borrow your head for a moment?" The Herrscher of Knowledge looked around and realized that everyone seemed to have something to study, so she said to Chen Luo.
Yakumo Yukari is studying the threads wrapping Matou Kariya, Yvette is studying the Stigmata on the back of Chen Luo's hand, Yun Lian'er and Patchouli are studying the Command Seals on Chen Luo's palm, and Chen Luo is being studied.
It seems like I'm the only one who's doing nothing.
"... If you can take it, then take it." After hearing the Herrscher of Knowledge's request, Chen Luo paused for a moment before speaking.
Can I lend you my head so you can study it?
I'll lend you my head!
"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony." The Herrscher of Knowledge smiled sheepishly.
"Huh? What do you want to do?" Chen Luo was confused.
"Um...the face is part of the head, right?" The Herrscher of Knowledge said, pulling out a colored pencil from somewhere.
"..."
Seeing Chen Luo remain silent, and with his hands being examined, the Herrscher of Knowledge slowly approached with a colored pen in hand.
"Bang!" Just as Chen Luo's face was about to be struck, a fist made of silk threads descended from the sky and slammed into the Herrscher of Knowledge's head.
Even though my Chen Luo are being studied, I still have the ability to knock you on the head.
"Stigmata ... Chen Luo, if you appeared at the church with these two Stigmata in your hands, you might receive some good treatment." Yvette, who had been studying Chen Luo's Stigmata for a while, put down Chen Luo's hand.
"Hey, be more specific."
