Mikaela clenched her fist and said calmly, "I want to obtain both Medusa's Spirit Origin and Valkyrie's Spirit Origin. I'll use one to heal my injuries and the other as a consumable."

"Hmm?" Red A, Emiya Kiritsugu, and Hassan of the Arm looked puzzled.

Consumables? What consumables?

"Can I hand over the information here to 'you'?" Mikaela looked at Hassan of the Hundred Faces and said in a rather gentle tone, "If we can get your help, our chances of winning will be much greater."

At this moment, Mikaela's icy aura subsided slightly. Since Loli Hassan had provided astonishing information, there was no need for him to intimidate her anymore.

"!!!" Loli Hassan looked at Mikaela, who had a gentle smile on her face. Her body stopped trembling. She nodded slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she was mute and naturally couldn't say anything.

"Of course! For your sake, the Holy Grail is unnecessary!"

At that moment, a beautiful brown-skinned girl appeared beside Loli Hassan. She held a scimitar in her hand, placed the weapon on the ground, knelt on one knee, and said very seriously, "The Holy Grail is nothing but a useless thing to us. It is far less fulfilling to serve you."

"In the name of Hassan of the Hundred Faces, we will hand over victory to you." A woman of even smaller stature appeared beside the brown-skinned girl. She looked even smaller than the Loli Hassan, but her murderous aura was even stronger than theirs.

"That's right! We have come to this Holy Grail War, probably to hand over the victory to you."

Another female Hassan appeared, her voice filled with fanaticism, clearly believing that abandoning her Master was no big deal!

"..."

At this moment, Loli Hassan was about to cry. What are you three doing?! When it's time to reveal information, none of you will come out no matter what.

Now look what's happened! They're all pledging allegiance so quickly! We're all supposed to be 'ourselves'! You've gone too far!

"Ahem." Hassan of the Arm showed his understanding and patted the head of the Loli Hassan. If he were also one of the Hassan of the Hundred Faces, he would definitely have done the same.

After all, someone who has a close friendship with the first generation is a person with great deterrent power. Judging from the fact that the other party took out the first generation's weapon without changing his expression, the other party obviously has a great connection with the first generation.

"...Terrifying." Red A sighed slightly as he watched Hassan of the Hundred Faces's actions, clearly admiring Mikaela; she was truly formidable.

Fortunately, the other party was on his father's side, otherwise Red A wouldn't know what to do with them. To have Servant the opposing camp betray him in an instant, this kind of 'personal charisma' is clearly not something an ordinary person possesses.

"Then, one of you go back and report the news." Mikaela looked at Hassan of the Hundred Faces and told one of them to go back and report the news to the other Hassan.

The messages of the Hassan of the Hundred Faces cannot be spread through memory. Only when the 'individual' carrying this memory returns to other 'individuals' can the memory be spread.

Sending Hassan of the Hundred Faces back now is merely to let the Hassan there know about 'himself'.

As for whether Hassan of the Hundred Faces will betray us... Hassan of the Arm once said that every Hassan would fear the First Hassan.

Judging from their behavior, Mikaela probably guessed that during the Fourth Holy Grail War, when she fought Gilgamesh, she had become King Hassan.

At that time, the Hassan of the Hundred Faces was probably watching from the sidelines. After they discovered that the First Hassan had arrived, they all committed suicide to avoid being beheaded.

P. S.: "I'll be updating until the early hours of the morning. I'll update as much as I can! I'll release the code as it comes!"

PS: First update

Chapter 181 How to Obtain a Large Amount of Magic Power (Second Update)

Hassan of the Hundred Faces nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would return as soon as possible, and then disappeared into the shadows. They ran very fast, eager to leave this place as quickly as possible.

"..." Loli Hassan was on the verge of tears. What was wrong with this world? Why was she still stuck here!

It's one thing that the three of them didn't come out earlier! But why did they leave, and then righteously declare that they would leave Loli Hassan behind as a hostage?

She didn't do that to herself! Even though she's a secretive personality, she's still one of the most important Hassan!

I served Hassan, I shed blood for Hassan!! I want to leave!! I want to get out of here!! Although I respect the First Hassan, I don't want to stay here!!

"Loli Hassan shouted frantically."

However, in reality, her voice is 'Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh'.

She appeared panicked, but the other three Hassan of the Hundred Faces wore fawning smiles and said to Mikaela, "Well, she didn't want to leave, so she did this."

Loli Hassan was shocked. What's going on?! Don't you know whether I want to leave or not?!

"Pfft." Red A turned to the side at that moment and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although Hassan of the Arm didn't utter a sound of laughter, his wildly trembling body suggested he was trying hard to suppress it.

So, with his 'help,' Loli Hassan didn't go back with them, but was left here.

"We can't stay at the inn anymore. Kiritsugu, check the surrounding area, and then we should prepare to move to another place." Mikaela ignored Loli Hassan's subtle feelings and felt that the others should move to a different location.

This attack shows that the enemy has clearly discovered their hiding place.

They could no longer stay in the inn, Mikaela felt it necessary to create a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, to serve as their base.

"Then, I'll team up with Cursed Arm to find other lone Servant," Red A suggested. He felt that his group's advantage was too small, so they should go find other lone Servant.

"That's right."

Hassan of the Arm also agreed that his side was being monitored by the enemy, and other lone Servant were probably no exception; the enemy's target was to attack lone Servant.

From Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Hassan of the Arm and Red A obtained information about Berserker, Rider, and Caster. It seems that Hassan of the Hundred Faces was the one who did the intelligence gathering.

Judging from the actual results, Hassan of the Hundred Faces really played a significant role.

"Well, if we encounter danger, I can hold out for a while. You guys go find Berserker, Rider, and Caster, tell them about the current situation, and see if they will join forces with us."

"If they don't join forces with us... to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, you know you should do the same." At this point, Mikaela's tone suddenly turned cold.

The implication was quite clear: if they joined forces, all would be well; if not, then they would kill them at all costs!

Mikaela's biggest fear is accidents, and he suffered countless losses due to accidents during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Just when he thought he had it in the bag, another unexpected thing happened!! Damn it! He feels like the whole world is against him.

"Of course I know." Hassan of the Arm nodded. He was not a pedantic person, and he would not show mercy to those who did not form an alliance and wanted to hold him back.

"That's natural."

For the sake of his 'sister', Red A also revealed a cold smile. This time, he was not fighting for the world, but for his family! He would not let go of those Heroic Spirit who were harmful to him because of trivial matters.

"Then, let's get started, everyone."

Mikaela, along with Emiya Kiritsugu and Loli Hassan, prepared to return to the inn to pick up Irisviel.

"Yes."

Hassan of the Arm nodded to Red A, then vanished in spirit form.

"What should we do now? Should we prioritize building the Magic Workshop?" Emiya Kiritsugu casually pulled a cigarette from his pocket, which he had hidden beforehand.

Hassan of the Arm and that guy are too naive. Did they really think they weren't on guard against the two of them?!

"Don't smoke, she's still a child." Mikaela out and took the cigarette from Emiya Kiritsugu's hand, then pointed to the Loli Hassan beside him.

"..."

Emiya Kiritsugu was somewhat desperate. Were all Servant children these days?! What's wrong with him smoking? Servant afraid of these things?

"I don't know how to make the Magic Workshop, so I'll leave it to you and Irisviel." Mikaela walked toward the hotel, saying as he went, "Although I learned some basic Magecraft from 'Friends,' it was only the basics."

Although Mikaela learned some Magecraft from Aozaki Touko, she was clearly not qualified to build Magic Workshop.

It would be better to let Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu make it; he can just be a bodyguard.

"The Magic Workshop isn't very useful." Emiya Kiritsugu felt that the Magic Workshop wasn't very effective; he had personally witnessed Kayneth's Magic Workshop, which was powerful enough to threaten Servant.

He couldn't create that kind of Magic Workshop; he didn't have the financial resources or the ability.

But that kind of Magic Workshop that could threaten Servant was still destroyed by Mikaela!

If you spend a lot of effort creating Magic Workshop that has no effect on Servant, then it's better not to do it at all.

"Then you can be an Omega with Irisviel. That's the only thing you can do." Mikaela said ruthlessly when she heard that Emiya Kiritsugu didn't want to join the Magic Workshop. "Anyway, we are short of magic power. It's a good thing to keep Archer at his peak at all times."

"!!!!!"

Emiya Kiritsugu straightened up immediately, coughed a few times, and said with a serious expression, "I think the Magic Workshop is better at making it. If possible, I would like to try to create a Magic Crest that stores magical energy and then uses the spiritual veins here to increase your combat abilities."

"..." Mikaela sighed helplessly. If Kiritsugu Emiya Kiritsugu had Kayneth's talent, he would have been looking forward to the other's magic storage device.

Even now, even if Emiya Kiritsugu created a magic storage device to slowly absorb the magic power from the spiritual veins, that magic power wouldn't be enough to satisfy his hunger.

"How can I obtain a large amount of magic power in a short period of time?" Mikaela sighed. For the first time, he realized how wonderful magic power was.

PS: "You owe me fourteen chapters in one go?! Come on! I don't believe I can't pay you back with ten chapters a day?!"

PS: "Second update."

Chapter 182 Black Whistle (Third Update)

"What a lovely day! Let's go eat first."

The next morning, a blonde girl got up as usual, dressed, and prepared to set off to gather intelligence.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, the blonde girl's gaze sharpened. She sensed the aura of Servant, so she quickly stood up and ran towards the area from which the aura was coming.

The blonde girl was dressed casually, wearing a white shirt and black tie on her upper body, and a black skirt on her lower body, showing off her slender black legs.

Most importantly, it's her face. If Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel saw her face, they would probably subconsciously think that she was the legendary King Arthur — Artoria!

Indeed, the other person's face is too similar to Artoria, the form Mikaela transformed into during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

At that moment, the blonde girl rushed out. She locked onto the aura of the Servant and wanted to communicate with the Servant all sides in order to find out the situation of the Holy Grail War as soon as possible.

"Shuashuashua——!!"

As the blonde girl rushed out, just as she was about to reach her opponent's location, several arrows were shot towards her. The blonde girl dodged the attack to the side, and a Holy Banner appeared in her hand. She said calmly, "Rider, what is the meaning of this?"

A horse suddenly appeared, eyeing the blonde girl warily. A bow appeared in its hand, and it asked in a strange tone, "Are you the Ruler?"

"Ruler? That guy? Isn't she an enemy?" Kiyohime appeared beside Red Hare. The two of them had sensed the Servant's approach, which was why they launched their attack.

Kiyohime originally intended to attack first, but Red Hare felt that the opponent should be a fairly strong guy, so without saying a word, it picked up its bow and launched an attack.

"Hmm... Judging from my memories, Ruler should be harmless, after all, she is only here to protect the Holy Grail War."

Red Hare also a little confused. He thought it was the Servant from last night who had come to kill them, so he attacked without saying a word. He didn't expect that the person who attacked was actually someone with the Ruler class.

"Rider - Red Hare, Berserker - Kiyohime."

The blonde girl recognized Red Hare and Kiyohime's true names. After they discovered her class, she didn't continue her attack or say anything more.

"As expected, you are Red Hare." After the blonde girl revealed Red Hare's true name, Kiyohime smiled, opened her fan, and looked behind her, saying, "Master, did you hear that? This guy isn't Lu Bu at all, but Red Hare, just as you guessed."

"Yes, we heard that."

At that moment, Ryougi Shiki and Kiyohime Asagami Fujino their meal, Red Hare and Kiyohime said that Servant was approaching. The two of them entered spirit form and prepared to go and deal with the enemy.

"Are you two the Master of Rider and Berserker?" The blonde girl seemed oblivious to Red Hare's somewhat unpleasant expression, and focused her gaze on Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino. She smiled and said, "Excuse me for disturbing you. I am Servant descended into this world yesterday and possesses the Ruler class."

"Ruler?" Asagami Fujino and Ryougi Shiki expressed their confusion.

They had already received information from Aozaki Touko that the Holy Grail War consisted of seven classes, but they had no idea which class Ruler was.

"Ruler is a special class." Kiyohime pursed her lips, looking at the blonde girl with a dangerous glint in her eyes, and explained calmly, "The situations in which a Ruler is summoned can be roughly divided into two types: one is that the form of this Holy Grail War is very special, and the outcome is unknown, that is, the Holy Grail determines that a Ruler is needed; the other is that the impact of the Holy Grail War may cause the world to be distorted. Only heroes who have no wishes before they die are qualified to become a Ruler."

This was information known to every Servant, but Kiyohime wasn't really surprised by Ruler's appearance. After all, his appearance just proved that the enemy had 'violated regulations' by summoning six Servant, causing the Holy Grail to summon Ruler.

"I see. So what is your purpose in coming here?" Ryougi Shiki looked at the blonde girl and said in a very calm tone, "If it's just to meet her, then you can leave now."

Ryougi Shiki is currently searching for Mikaela. Aozaki Touko has already told her that she is now taking her Servant to meet up with Mikaela.

The Holy Grail War is now almost divided into factions. The enemy faction has seven Servant, while our side is too scattered and easily targeted by the enemy.

So Ryougi Shiki didn't have time to talk to the Servant who called himself Ruler. They planned to finish breakfast and then go find Mikaela.

"Um..." A hint of embarrassment appeared on the blonde girl's face. Although she really only came to see them, shouldn't she say a few more words?

"Then goodbye! My Master going to find someone, so please don't reveal my name 'Lu Bu' so easily." Red Hare didn't want to pay any attention to the blonde girl at this moment. He said in a very unfriendly tone, "Moreover, even if you are a Ruler, if you dare to interfere in our Holy Grail War, then I will not show you any mercy!"

"Black Whistle?" Asagami Fujino said, somewhat bewildered. After listening for a while, she wondered why the Ruler class seemed like a referee.

Speaking of referees, she thought of a certain South Korean country, where Black Whistle were truly corrupt.

"What Black Whistle?! I'm a rulekeeper with principles! I would never interfere in your Holy Grail War over trivial matters." The blonde girl also possessed modern knowledge and naturally understood what the girl meant by 'Black Whistle'.

"Tsk, who knows?" Kiyohime smiled gently. Naturally, she didn't trust the so-called ruler either. After all, the other party could know their real names at will. If she wanted to help the other side, their situation would only get worse.

"Alright, that's enough. Let's go."

Ryougi Shiki could tell that this blonde girl exuded an aura of 'harmlessness,' but having witnessed the battle between Servant last night, she wouldn't think that the other party was as harmless as she appeared.

"Yes, it's time to get going." Asagami Fujino nodded, bowed slightly to the blonde girl, and said respectfully, "Then, we'll take our leave."

And so, the four of them left, leaving the blonde girl somewhat at a loss for words.
