The Shopkeeper's Daughter / Capturing a Nobody Servant

Although they were bound to fight the real king, Agravain did not want to lose, at the very least... he did not want to lose to those unknown Servant, but to the king himself.

Lancelot. He naturally wouldn't hide the information. He looked at Agravain and said calmly, "I encountered four Servant in the desert. Two of them seemed to be wise Servant, one male and one female. I went to chase after the male with Mordred, but he escaped."

"That female Servant bears a striking resemblance to the king in both appearance and demeanor, which moved me to pity."

At this point, Lancelot couldn't help but cover his face. Sigh! He saw a guy who looked like the king and chose to let him go. But when he found the real king, he didn't find him. Instead, he chose to fight him.

In a sense, Lancelot should thank King Hassan. If he had actually fought the My King, Lancelot would probably have wanted to die right now.

"Later..."

Lancelot briefly recounted what had happened on his side, such as how King Hassan suddenly appeared while he, Mordred, and Mikaela were fighting, and stopped them in just two moves.

"If he had wanted to fight back then, Mordred and I probably wouldn't have lasted a single move against him."

This was Lancelot's most immediate thought: it was terrifying! The opponent seemed to be the embodiment of death; one strike from his sword and he would likely die instantly.

"Grand Servant." Gawain said with a very serious expression, "Even Lancelot said so, so if we were to confront him head-on, I'm afraid our fate wouldn't be much better."

Agravain and Tristan nodded repeatedly. Although they also disliked Lancelot, he was the strongest among the Knights of the Round Table in terms of martial prowess.

Even he felt that he couldn't possibly be defeated by King Hassan in a single move, so that Grand Servant must be truly terrifying.

"What about over there?" After explaining what had happened on his end, Lancelot looked at Agravain, now very curious about what had happened on their side.

"We encountered an archer, a Demon God Pillar, and a 'king'," Agravain reported, sharing his intelligence.

After hearing this, Lancelot's expression became quite strange. Apart from the Demon God Pillar, Arash and Mikaela had both been in contact with him.

Arash's strength was well known to him. The sneak attack had not caused him any injury. He knew that the weapon in his hand was not an ordinary weapon, but Holy Sword forged by fairies.

Lancelot launched a sneak attack, thinking he could quickly eliminate the archer, but to his surprise, the opponent's physical defense was terrifying. At most, a sword strike could only cause a wound.

Moreover, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made Lancelot immediately realize that this archer was no ordinary soldier.

However, just as he was about to unleash his Noble Phantasm, his opponent used a kiting tactic to injure him and then quickly left.

As for Mikaela... he didn't fight her, because King Hassan came to the rescue.

However, Arash left a very deep impression on him.

"Ah, I am so sad." Tristan stroked his weapon, seemingly about to say something, but soon he seemed to realize something, slightly opened his eyes, looked at Lancelot and said, "No, the King just said that there were four Servant in the desert area, as well as one World Traveler, but Lord Lancelot, you only brought back one."

"Based on the intelligence we've gathered, there are already more than four Servant."

"A maid who can transform into a king, Arash, a detective, a blonde girl, Tang Sanzang, and a world traveler."

At this point, Tristan paused, looked at Lancelot and said calmly, "If we exclude the maid who can transform into a king, then the other four are Servant. So it seems you've overlooked the last one, the World Traveler."

"Did I forget one guy?" Lancelot's expression changed slightly.

Since the king mentioned four Servant and one World Traveler, then there must be four Servant and one World Traveler who will arrive in the desert area.

Chapter 369 The Shopkeeper's Daughter

"Achoo."

On the other side of the desert edge, a girl dressed as a maid couldn't help but sneeze. She touched her delicate nose and said somewhat dejectedly, "Could someone be thinking about me?"

"Well~ I thought I would go to a more normal world, but I didn't expect to come to a so-called Singularity. Sigh~ As expected, passive abilities are not very useful."

The girl shook her head slightly, clearly indicating her helplessness.

"So, Ella, why did you give me this ability?" The girl walked across the desert, shaking her head helplessly, a bitter smile on her lips.

Traveling everywhere and seeing all sorts of scenery seems great, but it's actually a capability gained by sacrificing the world.

Moreover... it was a permanent ability given to me by a friend before he died.

"Sigh~" The girl walked across the desert and casually took out a transparent card. It had a picture of a girl dressed as a maid on it. If you looked closely, you would find that the girl was rather androgynous.

"The past is like the wind~"

After a brief sigh, the girl continued walking in another direction. What kind of fun could a mere week-long stay possibly bring her?

"It's not completely filtered yet."

Mikaela gazed at the Holy Grail and the Goetia Holy Grail within her body and sighed silently.

At this moment, the Holy Grail within his body was frantically absorbing the magical power inside the Holy Grail that Goetia had sculpted, while simultaneously expelling some dark matter.

Perhaps considering the need for large quantities to ensure a satisfying experience, Goetia gave the Holy Grail extremely chaotic magical energy. While it doesn't feel particularly special when used, it consumes magical energy at breakneck speed.

Otherwise, Ramesses II would have simply built a Grand Temple and used his Divine Authority to materialize the desert territory; he wouldn't have needed to expend so much magic.

Even with the extensive defensive measures in place to prevent King Hassan's invasion, it's impossible to squander centuries of magical power like water.

When they fought Goetia, Mikaela didn't even have a hundred years' worth of magical power. She managed to summon a group of first-class, top-class, divine, and Grand Servant to stop the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars and Goetia. In the end, she transformed into King Solomon and forced the enemy to retreat.

Ramesses II wasted hundreds of years of magic by doing just a few 'small measures,' which made Mikaela feel heartbroken.

"There are too many impurities." Mikaela was very troubled. If she continued to filter it like that, the magic power that had been around for nearly five hundred years would probably be reduced to about three hundred or two hundred years of magic power.

The battles against the Knights of the Round Table and the Lion King will undoubtedly require a huge expenditure of magic, probably more than fifty years of magic expenditure.

To exaggerate a bit further, it would probably take over a hundred years of magical energy to sustain his bloody battle with the Lion King, but that's not a problem...

Instead, after eliminating this Singularity, the next Singularity he will go to will definitely be the seventh Singularity, to deal with Tiamat, who is a beast like Goetia.

"Even if it's a self-sealed version of Tiamat, what methods should I use to deal with her?" Mikaela muttered to herself.

The Holy Grail within him was filtering impurities 24 hours a day. It was nighttime, and everyone had gone to rest. Even Amon had disappeared to stand guard somewhere.

According to Amon, defeat on the battlefield is already shameful enough, and he can't even hand over the guard duty to that archer.

With the help of Arash and Amon, Hassan of the Hundred Faces and the Madman were relieved and began to rest, which was a rare treat.

Although Servant don't need to rest, since they don't have physical bodies and are entirely composed of magical energy, they will still experience some mental fatigue, even though they are not much different from when they were alive.

After all, neither Hassan of the Hundred Faces nor the Mad-Nobunaga had been guarding the village for an extended period. They had to hunt for the villagers and also cooperate with the other Hassan to carry out ambush missions, interfering with the development of the Lion King's Holy City.

The Hassan had it so tough, but no matter how tough it was, none of Hassan abandoned the people in the village.

Otherwise, the other Hassan wouldn't have been forced into a direct battle with the Knights of the Round Table while protecting the Mountain People, resulting in their tragic deaths.

With nothing else to do, Mikaela closed his eyes and entered a meditative state. He re-entered that spiritual world, intending to continue fighting against the powerful beings from other worlds.

"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself." A few days ago, he fought Mordred to a draw without either of them unleashing their Noble Phantasm, which shows Mikaela's growth.

In the past, Mikaela would never have engaged in melee combat, no matter how hard she tried, because it was too disadvantageous!

Upon entering the mental space, before Mikaela could even speak, King Hassan appeared before him without him noticing.

"Grandpa." Mikaela nodded slightly to King Hassan, showing her respect.

"Contractor..."

King Hassan planted the Black Stone Greatsword in the ground and said very calmly, "A world traveler has entered this world, and I sensed your presence from her."

"World traveler?"

Mikaela frowned slightly, then suddenly seemed to realize something, and looked at King Hassan, saying, "Could it be? The Shopkeeper's Daughter?"

"I don't know, but you seem to know who that person is, so I don't need to kill them." King Hassan said calmly, "Any being with the ability to travel between worlds could potentially change the current situation."

"I can ignore the knight sent by the Magecraft, but that being who has the ability to travel through worlds has the power to break the rules."

"???" Mikaela asked in confusion. The Shopkeeper's Daughter possessed the power to break the rules? You must be joking.

Although the other party, like a certain Musashi who wishes to remain anonymous, possesses the power to travel between worlds, that power is an uncertain factor, and the other party can be completely ignored.

After all, having one more person or one less person makes no difference.

"..." King Hassan stared at Mikaela quietly, then slowly said, "Although that being knows you, Contractor, it would be better if you could go and meet them."

"She does indeed possess the power to break the rules, but that power does not belong to her; I can confirm that."

After saying that, King Hassan disappeared from the spot. He had already told Mikaela everything he needed to say, and whether or not Mikaela went was not something he needed to worry about.

Mikaela silently withdrew from the mental world and gazed into the distance.

What did Grandpa mean by that? That power doesn't belong to her... it's still a power that can break the rules.

Is the Shopkeeper's Daughter really that capable? Why didn't I realize it at all back then?

Chapter 370 Capturing Minion Servant

Mikaela, who had originally planned to cultivate, suddenly didn't want to anymore. He slowly stood up and sighed deeply.

To be honest, he was quite surprised to meet the Shopkeeper's Daughter in this world, since the last time he met her was probably right after he finished the Fourth Holy Grail War.

When I entered the Black Mud and gained a physical body, my five senses were severely impaired. At that moment, the Shopkeeper's Daughter suddenly appeared out of nowhere and helped me.

Although Mikaela could have hidden herself even without the Shopkeeper's Daughter, the other party had indeed helped her.

Moreover, she didn't hide anything, revealing her abilities and also showing self-awareness.

It was precisely because she understood herself that she was willing to lend a helping hand to Mikaela; otherwise, if a stranger were in such a predicament, the Shopkeeper's Daughter would hardly bother to help them.

"Lady Ella, are you going out?"

When Mikaela woke up and stepped out of the cabin, Kyoshiko and Hassan of the Hundred Faces immediately appeared before him.

Although they wanted to rest, the best way for Servant to rest was to close their eyes and relax without intensely monitoring their surroundings.

"Well, I'm going to visit an old friend. You guys stay here." After emerging from the spiritual world, Mikaela vaguely sensed a certain coordinate, indicating that King Hassan had already given her the position of the Shopkeeper's Daughter.

This made Mikaela sigh slightly. Sure enough, as long as a being reaches the realm of top-tier Servant, they all possess their own unique abilities.

For example, Ramesses II, the Lion King, and King Hassan discovered the Chaldea's existence before the Chaldea arrived. The Lion King even foresaw the future and sent his subordinates to stop the Chaldea.

In fact, it's not just them; other top-tier Servant possess similar abilities.

"An old friend?"

Although Kyoko was somewhat puzzled, out of trust, she didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded silently.

"Do you need my company?" Hassan of the Hundred Faces asked Mikaela, who created a clone of herself and said very seriously, "If my clone dies, I will sense it immediately."

Hassan of the Hundred Faces's meaning was clear: if her clone died, she would immediately organize people to help Mikaela.

"No need. If I encounter danger, I can handle Singularity myself. As long as the Lion King and Ramesses II don't attack together, I will definitely not be in any danger."

At this point, Mikaela smiled and said calmly, "Of course, if the two of them attack together, I am confident that I can kill them both, but the price will be too high."

Indeed, Mikaela was confident that she could kill the Lion King Ramesses II. As long as the two of them dared to join forces, they would surely die.

The reason is simple: last time, in order to deal with Goetia, Mikaela launched a large-scale Servant summoning, and several of the Servant that appeared at that time were stronger than Ramesses II.

Needless to say, the Lion King is very strong, but she is not invincible. If she dares to leave the Holy City, King Hassan will definitely kill her with a single blow.

Unlike Ramesses II, she was not immortal; once her head was cut off, she truly died.

"...Understood."

Hassan of the Hundred Faces understood, a hint of envy and admiration flashing in her eyes. This was the friend of the First Generation Master, who didn't take the Pharaoh King and the Lion King seriously at all.

Looking at themselves, it was clear that not a single member of Hassan's faction had gone to confront the Lion King and the Pharaoh King.

The Hassan once held a meeting, and if all else fails, they will abandon their Hassan identity and go to the Azrael Mausoleum to request the First One to come out and destroy the Lion King and the Pharaoh King.

However, although the original character is not currently fighting, his friends have arrived at this Singularity and helped them defeat the Knights of the Round Table, showing no fear of the Pharaoh King and the Lion King.

While feeling relieved, Hassan of the Hundred Faces felt mostly ashamed.

It is truly humiliating that they, who bear the name of Hassan, could not even be wiped out by the Knights of the Round Table!

"Okay." Mikaela nodded slightly and walked quickly toward the marked location.

On the way, Mikaela encountered Arash and Amon, who were on patrol. After learning of Mikaela's destination, the two immediately offered to have one of them accompany Mikaela.

Amon suggested that Arash go there, though he was very reluctant, because Arash was indeed stronger now.

Arash, however, said that although he was a third-rate archer, he was slightly better than Amon, and suggested that he and his Master go to see their so-called 'friends'.

Upon hearing Arash's words, Amon flew into a rage. Although he was indeed inferior in skill, did Arash not know how to speak properly?

Couldn't you have made your intentions as clear as possible?! You've made your point so obvious! Give yourself a way out.
