Morgan's maximum time away from Chen Luo is about 10 hours. After being away from Chen Luo for more than 10 hours, he will disappear because he will not have enough magic power to maintain his body.

If you transform into Paradise Fairy, it won't even take an hour.

Merlin is not like that. Even without a magic supply, Merlin can still go wild for two days. Now that he has a physical body, he can go wild for seven days without any problem.

Seven days later, because it was a special summon, it will die even if it has a physical body.

So even though Merlin has a physical body, he still needs to behave.

Furthermore, Command Seals can also be effective.

In addition, Chen Luo discovered something else.

That is... the amount of magic required to maintain Morgan's existence is many times that of Merlin.

Previously, there were no other Servants, so Chen Luo thought that maintaining the existence of one Servant required this many, until Chen Luo acquired Merlin.

This is another reason why Chen Luo guessed that they couldn't be too far from Morgan.

Morgan is no longer just a Servant; she is more like a special Heroic Spirit, a unique being.

Logically speaking, the Holy Grail War involves taking a portion of a Heroic Spirit's form (a specific class) and having it fight as a Servant. After dying, the Servant returns to the Heroic Spirit Throne and doesn't truly die.

But Morgan was different; once Morgan was dead, he was gone.

In her Servant form, Morgan is Berserker Class Servant, but when she transforms into her Paradise Fairy form, the Servant class restriction is removed.

This can also be seen from the perspective of Mana Supply.

In normal circumstances, Morgan's mana consumption is about seven or eight times that of Merlin, and his strength is also greater than that of the Servant Merlin. This is a matter of upper limit, not a matter of the relative strength of Morgan and Merlin themselves.

After transforming into Paradise Fairy, the opponent's mana consumption is dozens of times that of the Servant Merlin!

Abnormally outrageous.

Therefore, if Morgan disappears, it might be a true disappearance.

Chen Luo is now the cornerstone that keeps Morgan alive in this world.

Chen Luo's experiment to see if Merlin would disappear after a world's separation naturally required him to enter the bar.

Chen Luo had no intention of hiding the existence of the bar from Merlin.

Driven by curiosity, Merlin entered the bar and, after hearing Chen Luo's description of the bar's unique features, uttered the words he had just spoken.

"Master, why don't you just put me back into Servant status?"

"If you don't give me a good reason, I'll turn you into a spirit particle right now and make you a spirit body." He threatened Merlin at that moment.

"Ahem, actually it's like this. Well... because I suddenly realized that if Master has this magical bar, then if my current memories are transferred to Avalon after I participated in the Holy Grail War, then I can directly open the bar and walk in in Avalon."

"The reason I originally wanted to have a physical body was because I wanted to stay here for a while after the Holy Grail War. Having a physical body would allow me to experience this world more realistically than having a spirit (and I could exist for a longer time than having a spirit)."

"But wouldn't it be better to experience it in person than with a smaller body?"

"Also, if you take on flesh and blood, and if you die, your memories might not return to your original body," Merlin said, looking around Chen Luo's bar.

Bars are great things.

No medium or ticket is needed at all; you can come to the bar once you remember what it looks like.

But first you need to remember what it looks like.

"So, Master, can you turn me back into a spirit now?" Merlin asked again.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"...You should die once." Chen Luo said after hesitating for a moment.

Although Chen Luo was somewhat annoyed by Merlin's capriciousness, the other party had given him far too much.

200 Primogem.

"Sigh, can't we use the backtracking ability you used last time, Master?"

"No, it's too expensive."

Merlin only needed to rewind 5 minutes, but now it takes an hour.

Can this even be compared?

"Don't worry, according to my estimation, if the Silver Command Spell is used, it can indeed revive you when you are about to die, and then you will return to your spirit form."

"It might hurt a little, you'll have to bear with it."

"This..." Although Merlin had died before, he personally didn't like dying.

"I'm Herrscher of the Heart, so I can't stand seeing people killed. That's why I plan to have Morgan take my place," Chen Luo continued.

"... Master, please use the rewind technique to return me to my original spirit form, thank you!"

"Moreover, if we don't rewind, to be honest, the moment I had a physical body, my memories might already be lost. But if we rewind, it's like erasing my experience of having a physical body," Merlin said quite sincerely.

And if Morgan kills him... the other party would definitely stop at nothing, right?

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"... Fine, for Morgan's sake."

For the sake of the Primogem.

Since Morgan's former name was "Primogem," there's no problem.

"..."

If you really want to do this for my sake, please let me kill him with my own hands, thank you.

Chen Luo then brought Merlin to his own world, and then used his time-rewinding ability to spend an hour rewinding the other party back to a spirit state.

"I'm warning you, if you keep jumping around like this, I'll really beat you to death with a crowbar," Chen Luo warned.

"I understand." Merlin nodded obediently.

"But Master, why is your bar so deserted? It looks so quiet and deserted," Merlin said, glancing at Chen Luo's bar.

"Because it's not open yet, it's still early," Chen Luo said.

"Is it still early? It's already 12 o'clock." Merlin took two steps to the side and glanced at the time in the living room.

"The time in the bar is six hours different from the time in your main world, which means it's only a little past six o'clock now. The bar doesn't open until eight o'clock, so it's no wonder there are no people there," Chen Luo said.

"Oh, I see. There's still plenty of time..."

What do you want to do?

"So, is there any wine?" Merlin asked.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"That's quite a coincidence, I have plenty of alcohol here."

"Honestly, why did I even come here to do such hard labor?" Chen Luo sighed before continuing to wander the streets.

The reason they were still wandering the streets of the Moon World in the middle of the night was mainly to explore the terrain.

Chen Luo needs to confirm the location of each Master.

Let's also add a Teleport Anchor.

For example, Chen Luo saw the situation of the Tohsaka family through Merlin, but Chen Luo did not know where the Tohsaka family was.

Yakumo Yukari did indeed visit Rin Tohsaka's room, but she was monitoring the room of Rin Tohsaka after she moved out.

According to Yakumo Yukari, there was at least a King of Heroes here, so she didn't dare to stare too recklessly.

After all, if the other party suddenly became interested and activated their Gate of Babylon ability, although they wouldn't be able to discover Yakumo Yukari's true identity, they should be able to sense the Gap/Space Manipulation in Yakumo Yukari abilities.

Therefore, only one was placed nearby, almost at the Tohsaka residence.

Tohsaka Tokiomi and Chen Luo know each other well and want to get to the root of the problem.

Moreover, Chen Luo felt that Tohsaka Tokiomi was a promising prospect, a potential asset for his commission.

Therefore, it is necessary to set up a Teleport Anchor there.

In addition, there is the hotel where Kayneth, the master of the Lancer, stayed.

Einzbern's castle outside the city.

The location of the guesthouse where Waver stayed.

These Chen Luo all need to have Teleport Anchor inserted.

Take advantage of the time before the bar opens to quickly finish these things.

"Hey, Magus."

"..." Chen Luo looked up and saw a young man in plain clothes standing on a street lamp.

What the hell are you doing here?

Are you also going to insert Teleport Anchor?

"Archer... right? Is there something you need?" Upon seeing the other person, Chen Luo raised his arm.

"Alright, no need to summon your servants anymore. I have no intention of killing anyone today. Meeting you was just a coincidence." Golden Flash stood on the street lamp, looking down at Chen Luo.

"... Seeing how high you're standing, I'll trust you this once. So, is there something you need?" Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

"... Heh, I called you over because I wanted to ask you where the arcade was, but after hearing your answer, I feel like you're kind of interesting."

This was the first time Golden Flash had ever heard such an interesting remark.

If someone can easily believe what you say, they are either a fool or they have great self-confidence.

Golden Flash can confirm that there are no Servants in spirit form nearby, so the only way for the other party to summon a Servant is to use a Command Seal.

Is it because you don't want to waste Command Seals, or because you're confident in yourself?

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"The arcade, wait a minute, let me calculate." Chen Luo took out the River Diagram and Luo Script and began to calculate the location of the arcade.

As expected of Golden Flash, even a simple request for directions costs 50 Primogem.

"Let's go, I'll take you there." Chen Luo turned and left.

Gilgamesh somewhat surprised by Chen Luo's cooperation, but he wasn't too bothered by it.

Even if the other party is deceiving me, all I need to do is issue the royal punishment.

This reflects a profound confidence in one's own abilities.

However, Gilgamesh became interested in Chen Luo of his decisive personality.

"Well, tell me, what reward do you want?" Gilgamesh asked, looking at the arcade that was still open past midnight.

Rewarding those who have rendered meritorious service is one of the excellent qualities of a king.

Furthermore, Gilgamesh was very interested in what Chen Luo wanted.

The choice the other party makes signifies what Gilgamesh intends to do to them.

If the other party chooses to ask for his real name or other matters, Gilgamesh intends to kill them.

Gilgamesh could not tolerate anyone who intended to kill him.

If the other party only asks for tangible rewards, even if they are greedy, Gilgamesh will naturally be willing to reward them.

Greedy people are easier to control; this is the latter.

However, those who harbor rebellious intentions against the king must not be spared; this is the former.

"A reward? I really wasn't thinking about it." Chen Luo was taken aback.

In Chen Luo's mind, Chen Luo usually gives away commissions worth less than 100 Primogem for free, and only commissions of three stars or above will Chen Luo ask for extra rewards.

I'm just showing you the way.

"Foolish. To fail to reward those who have rendered meritorious service is a mistake for a king. Now is not a time to simply choose not to reward." Gilgamesh sneered.

"And you're helping without expecting anything in return. I'm very curious about your thoughts. What would make you do something like guiding an enemy Heroic Spirit without asking for anything in return?" Gilgamesh was very curious.

Gilgamesh considered himself the most outstanding king, having seen and experienced countless people, so he had an extremely keen eye for people. However, Gilgamesh couldn't quite see through Chen Luo.

"Since you really want to give me something and you're coming to the arcade, how about... playing a game with me?" Chen Luo suddenly said.
