"What? You know each other?" Black Pupil asked curiously.

"Oh, she is Saber, one of the Seven Servants," Ling Yuan explained.

"She's a pretty cute girl," Black Pupil said with an "oh."

"What's with that disdainful look on your face? I'm not a jerk, how could I like every girl I see?" Ling Yuan chuckled.

"Is that so?" Black Pupil didn't believe it and showed a contemptuous look in her eyes.

Seeing Ling Yuan suddenly appear, CASTER questioned, "Who are you? And what is your relationship with my 'Saintess'?!"

"Me? You can think of me as '******'."

Ling Yuan pondered for a moment, then spoke in a serious and earnest manner.

Black Pupil: "..."

Eiri: "..."

Saber: "???"

"******?" CASTER was stunned.

"Simply put, I am actually a believer in Saintess of Joan of Arc, just like you."

"After hearing about your uprising, I joined the rebel army without hesitation!"

"I never expected them to be friends who are also fighting against the invaders?!"

Upon hearing Joan of Arc's name, Caster looked at Ling Yuan with a joyful expression, as if he had found a friend.

"Yes, but I only joined after the Battle of Orléans. However, the Saintess's heroic figure has always been buried in my heart. She is the object of my lifelong admiration!" Ling Yuan sighed.

CASTER nodded in satisfaction; he understood, he knew everything.

Joan of Arc was so sacred and great.

Every word of praise applies to her.

For example: tall and imposing?

Chapter 197 Skill Selection Box

After confirming that Ling Yuan was one of their own, CASTER excitedly took Ling Yuan's hand.

"Friends! Did you know? The Holy Grail has already granted our wish; Joan of Arc has been resurrected!"

"Really?! That's great! Where is it?" Ling Yuan asked excitedly.

As he spoke, he pulled his hand out of CASTER's grasp.

CASTER: "..."

What do you mean by that? Do you look down on him?

"It's nothing, I'm a married man." Looking into Caster's eyes, Ling Yuan gave an awkward but polite smile.

After a brief silence, just as Ling Yuan thought he had been exposed, CASTER suddenly smiled.

"It's okay, I understand."

There are actually quite a few eccentric people in France.

Then, as if he had just thought of something, CASTER suddenly grabbed Ling Yuan's hands. "Friend, although our long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, that evil god has stripped her of her memories! So I have decided to take revenge on the god and liberate my Holy Maiden!"

"What?! Such a thing actually happened? Marshal, please rest assured, I will be loyal to the very end!" Ling Yuan patted his chest and assured him.

"..."

Saber and Eiri looked at the two people who were having a great time and exchanged bewildered glances.

What kind of cerebral palsy is this?

King Arthur lived around 500 AD, while Joan of Arc lived from 1412 to 1431. The two seem to have no connection whatsoever.

"But Marshal, could you please give me your hand first before we do?" Ling Yuan said with a forced smile.

"Oh oh."

CASTER quickly let go.

Then, ignoring the three people beside them, the two of them started chatting on their own.

"Speaking of which, friend, are you also a SERVANT in this Holy Grail War?"

"Yes, this is my MASTER," Ling Yuan said, pointing to the bewildered Black Pupil Tong.

"As for me, I'm participating in the Holy Grail War this time as an INFINITE class, which is a violation of the rules, I suppose." Ling Yuan sighed. "I really envy you regular classes."

"No, my friend! There has never been any distinction between high and low, noble and lowly in this world. Anyone who believes in the Holy Maiden is my friend, Gilles de Rais!" CASTER pressed down on Ling Yuan's shoulder, encouraging his junior.

Looking at the two figures from behind, the three exchanged a strange glance.

The more I look at it, the stranger it seems.

"Isn't Ling Yuan the Master?" Eiri asked softly.

Saber shook her head.

She's completely confused right now.

"Friend, if there are no problems, let's join forces! Let's free Joan of Arc of Arc from the hands of that damned god!" Caster suddenly said.

"Okay!" Ling Yuan nodded firmly.

"My holy maiden! When we meet again, I will free you from the clutches of that wicked god. Until then, I apologize for the hardship you have endured."

CASTER bowed to SABER, his eyes welling up with tears as he spoke.

It's as if Saber really suffered a lot of abuse.

"Wait, my friend, I will offer my sincerest greetings like a proud god, a god of cold storage!"

After speaking to Ling Yuan, he transformed into a wisp of black mist and vanished.

After CASTER left, Black Pupil walked over and looked at Ling Yuan with a puzzled expression. "What are you up to?"

Ling Yuan chuckled and said something that left Black Pupil completely baffled, "How can you participate in the Holy Grail War without backstabbing?"

"Let's go back too, so as not to make some people nervous."

As he spoke, Ling Yuan took Black Pupil's hand.

"!"

Black Pupil pupils contracted.

This seems to be the first time Ling Yuan has taken her hand on his own initiative?

"Etc!"

Just as the Imaginary Space opened, Saber called out to the two of them.

"Is there anything else?"

"Ling Yuan, why did you participate in the Holy Grail War?" Saber asked.

Ling Yuan chuckled, "Lia-chan, that's a very simple question. You're allowed to save Great Britain, but I'm not allowed to realize my dream?"

"You, why would you..." Saber asked in disbelief, her expression stunned.

"So, Mr. Ling Yuan, what is your dream?" Eiri asked.

After thinking for a while, Ling Yuan smiled slightly at Eiri and said, "If possible, I would like Miss Eiri to live on forever."

Irisviel paused, staring blankly at Ling Yuan.

For a moment, I was speechless.

It wasn't until the two had completely left that he realized what had happened.

Eiri gave a bitter smile, "To live on forever? It's a pity, that's impossible, Mr. Ling Yuan..."

"Ding! Today's check-in has started. Would you like to check in?"

"Sign in." Ling Yuan replied without hesitation.

"Ding! Congratulations, master, you have obtained a selection box."

"?"

Under Ling Yuan's curious gaze, three options appeared before him.

Honkai Crystal: Allows gems to be upgraded to cores.

One Skill Fill Card: The owner can select one expansion skill from a limited range.

Prison Dragon Break: Draws upon the earth's turbid energy, transforming it into two dragons that inflict terrifying damage.

"This is the choice? Can I have it all?" Ling Yuan asked.

However, the system's response was disappointing.

"Ding! You can only choose one."

"Then I'll choose the second one."

"Ding! Selection complete."

Soon, the page in front of me disappeared, replaced by a blank interface.

"Please write down the skills you wish to expand."

"Aren't there any options?" Ling Yuan asked curiously.

Normally, these self-selection options involve choosing from a bunch of choices, right?

Why is it that he has to write it himself?

"Yes, this skill book can provide a small-scale additional boost to skills," the system explained.

Ling Yuan pondered for a moment, then picked up the pen provided by the system and wrote on the blank screen.

Skill: Heavenly Punishment Truth

Everything that is seen, whether human or non-human, can be understood and comprehended instantly.

After finishing writing, Ling Yuan put away his pen.

"Master, is that all?" came the system's uncertain voice.

Is there a problem?

"The master can choose to have control over all the suns and planets of all worlds. Or he can have skills such as omniscience and omnipotence or chaotic energy, or he can gain the ability to break through dimensional barriers at will."

The system's voice came through, startling Ling Yuan.

Are you sure this is the "small area" you're referring to?

"Master, this system can give you one chance to start over."

"No need. It's not that the more destructive the skill, the better. Being able to see through the structure and construction at a glance is just as important to me."

"A skill that's good enough is fine. Besides, this skill is a perfect match for my Gem of Truth." Ling Yuan waved his hand.

System: "... I understand."

"System, why are you so urgent in asking me to improve my strength? Is something about to happen?" Ling Yuan asked curiously.

He felt that something was off with the system today.

System: "Ding! Master was overthinking it."

"Oh."

Ling Yuan nodded and exited the mental space.

He opened the door and walked straight towards the Tohsaka family's Tohsaka Family.

He couldn't wait to test his strength.

Seeing Ling Yuan's enthusiastic participation, the others followed him out of curiosity.

Upon reaching the gate, Ling Yuan called out, "Where's Golden Flash?"
