Heroic King Mo Yi: Father Mapo, Want to Come Over to My Side?
After glancing at the Redemption Value, which had changed from 80% to 82%, Mo Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he was quick-witted enough to save the situation. He truly deserved to be called the Mo Yi, the King of Heroes.
One hour later
"Lord Mo Yi, I'm going back to rest now. Good night."
Mo Yi, who was about to lose his ability to fool people, glanced at the Redemption Value that had risen to 85% and laughed, "Green Song, you should get some rest too."
"The Holy Grail War can begin at any time, and you can't do it without sufficient mental strength."
Thank you for your concern.
Green Song: Although some dark memories that she had sealed away in her mind occurred along the way, tonight was truly a pleasant evening. She had never felt so genuinely alive before. This must be what Lord Mo Yi meant by the importance of conviction to an individual!
"Aika will strive to become a lady worthy of Lord Mo Yi... Master."
Mo Yi: "..."
Well, although I have successfully achieved my goal tonight, and although I did not manage to 'instantly kill' the other party and become their father, it is understandable. After all, no one would easily accept suddenly having a Godfather.
As expected, Whitebeard's classic line is not something anyone can easily imitate—"You're awesome, be my son!"
"Then I'll look forward to it, Aika."
After waving goodbye to Aika, Mo Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been using all sorts of metaphorical and multifaceted language to talk to her, trying to mold her into the right values. It was such a waste of his brainpower; Mo Yi felt like he was being drained of his energy by Aika.
The scariest thing is that the other party can always read out your metaphor immediately, even if their understanding is slightly off.
"Never mind--"
Mo Yi shook his head. Tonight had already been a great success. Haste makes waste. Now he should think about how to proceed with the Holy Grail War. Although it was just a straightforward mission, a perfect completion would earn him 700 crystals. Even after deducting the 200 crystals he spent, he would still have a net profit of 500 crystals. This way, Mo Yi could buy the 'DOTA2' game he had been wanting for so long, and explore the legendary four fundamental forces, creation and order, and the laws of Finality and eternity, thus becoming the fully-fledged King of Heroes, wielding the power of the League of Legends in his left hand and the power of DOTA in his right!
There's still a lot to do tonight.
Although the so-called strategies were all Aika, Mo Yi felt that they made some sense after listening to them, so he didn't object.
However, no matter how good the plan is, you still have to be careful of a comeback. You have to be careful about the enemy in terms of tactics. For example, people like Sajou Aika are still too fragile to be compared with a man like Mo Yi who Five Coward Shields.
Therefore, Mo Yi planned to use this time to create some Rune Gem with defensive capabilities on the spot for Aika and others to wear. Although they could not block light cannon attacks like the Old Saber Excalibur, they would still be able to defend against Hassan's righteous poison throwing knives without much problem.
Meanwhile, Old Saber and his wife Alice Phil finally arrived in Fuyuki City from Germany by plane.
"Is this Fuyuki City?"
Confined to the Einstein family for so long, and only nine years old, Alice Phil, arriving in the bustling Fuyuki City for the first time, jumped and skipped like a little girl as she stepped out of the airport. (In fact, she was indeed just a nine-year-old child.)
After a long while, he looked apologetically at the Old Saber behind him, dressed in a black suit and acting as a knight, and asked, "Saber, will this make it harder for you to protect me?"
"After all, this is the battlefield of the Holy Grail War— "
"Fine--"
After getting to know her over this period of time, Old Saber also learned the fact that Alice Phil was a homunculus. He couldn't help but feel pity for her. Every time he saw her, he would involuntarily think of a similar, flawless girl, like an elf.
Thinking this, Old Saber flashed a reliable, sunny smile, gave a knightly salute, and pledged, "In the name of King Arthur, Alice Phil— "
"With me here, no one can hurt you."
Hearing this, Alice Phil stuck out her tongue sheepishly and said, "Saber, you don't need to be so nervous."
"As we all know, the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret. No Master would initiate a battle during the day or in a crowded place like this."
(For a specific example, refer to the dialogue between Alice Phil and Saber in Fate/Zero. If you simply Saber's head to resemble Old Saber's, the difference isn't very noticeable, since both are all A-rank knights. However, it seems Saber's stats are even higher than Old Saber's?)
PS: Chapter 339, Princess Arc: Please use your imagination when the emotions run high—, until a rabbit named Reisen knocked on the door, 'Princess, it's time to change.' 'Princess': "..." If she wasn't mistaken, that voice belonged to the rabbit 'Reisen' who had run away on her own. Although she knew the other party was just following the plan, 'Princess' was still very angry. Mo Yi also got up from the tatami mat and said apologetically, "Princess, you go and prepare." "Hmm—" 'Princess' straightened her clothes, which were a little wrinkled from the interaction earlier, and said gently, "You hurry up too, I want to see you soon..." After saying that, she went out. "Reisen— " Just those two words, the Princess's expression was not much different from usual, but Reisen felt that the Princess seemed to have become very dignified, and lowered her head again, not daring to move. "Let's go."
Chapter 440: Mo Yi, the King of Heroes: Mage's Church Father, would you like to come to my side?
"According to the Holy Grail system, the seventh Servant, Caster, was summoned the night before last."
At this moment, a man whose face screamed "disappointment... elegance," along with another priest who appeared to have gray hair, were encircling a younger priest, staging one of the World Famous Painting: the 'Deathly Duet'.
The Death Duo: This mysterious ritual has the effect that the person on either side will die, and only the person in the middle can survive!
The elegant man was none other than Tohsaka Tokiomi, the famous benevolent father of the Moon World. Of course, on the surface, he was just an ordinary and elegant magician, but in reality, he was the man who carried the burden of the Moon World's 'Pot of this World'.
The old priest was named Kirei Kotomine, the Dragonfly Captain (referee) in the Holy Grail War who was responsible for helping Tohsaka Tokiomi, a major landowner in Tohsaka Tokiomi Fuyuki City, cheat. Of course, he wasn't an important character; he was just a minor character whose entire screen time totaled less than ten minutes.
The young priest blessed by the mysterious ritual of 'Death Duo' is none other than the renowned Mage's Church Father, Kirei Kotomine.
Looking at the magic teacher Tohsaka Tokiomi and his father Kirei Kotomine, who had been summoned as his Master three years ago and would often seek him out for a chat and then put on a two-person show, Kirei Kotomine felt annoyed for the first time.
You bastards! You're always circling around me, aren't you tired of it? If you're not tired of it, I'm getting dizzy from all the spinning!
Can't you just finish what you want to say so I can continue contemplating life, you bastard!
Tohsaka Tokiomi, holding a glass of red wine, finally stood there and said:
"The Holy Grail War has officially begun for two days, and surprisingly, no one has made a move yet. This is very bad. For the unknown Caster, the longer the preparation time, the stronger the opponent will become. We can't delay any longer!"
According to the tactical genius Tohsaka Tokiomi's original plan, he intended for Mage's Church Father to summon Hassan of the Hundred Faces, and then have the opponent send a Hassan clone to its death, so that the other contestants would lower their guard against Assassin and bravely step out of their homes for a thrilling Holy Grail War.
Unexpectedly, his own disciple summoned a strange Hassan, a Hassan completely different from those he had seen before.
Hassan is the origin of the Assassin, hence Hassan is always a tactical Heroic Spirit who wears a mask and is dressed in black for nighttime movement.
Unexpectedly, they summoned a white-haired, third-rate, nameless servant dressed in a red bodysuit who claimed to have amnesia. The bright red bodysuit made him stand out like a firefly in the night, making it impossible for anyone to ignore him. How could anyone possibly assassinate him?
The most bizarre thing is that the opponent doesn't even have the standard Assassin Class Skills 'Presence Concealment', but instead has 'Independent Action' and 'Magic Resistance', which are most effective against Mages or Masters.
The only criterion that fits the description of an assassin is the opponent's ability stats!
Yes, Magic Resistance allows Servants to ignore the magic that Mages are most proud of, and Independent Action allows Servants to 'reconnect' after betraying their Masters, or high-level Servants can Independent Action, allowing them to fight the entire Holy Grail War by themselves even without a Master.
These two Class Skills are standard for Archers, and they're the class that Tohsaka Tokiomi most wants to complain about. It's practically an anti-magician setup! I wonder who originally designed the Archer Class Skills! (The aging Justice Partner Old Magus, is an innocent bystander.)
If it weren't for the fact that Tohsaka Tokiomi had summoned Archer, the oldest fat tiger Gilgamesh, he would have seriously doubted that his disciple could have summoned Archer without Holy Relic.
Thus, his original plan failed before it even began. In the end, he could only console himself that this assassin known to the world wasn't without his merits; at least others didn't know his information, unlike other Hassans who were simply seen, and even wearing a mask, were immediately recognized as that Hassan, and their abilities were unknown—a truly embarrassing situation.
Of course, little did Tohsaka Tokiomi know that this assassin who filled him with resentment would become the husband of his two daughters—yes, the husband of his two daughters!
Despite his seemingly elegant demeanor, Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was actually too hesitant and lacked decisiveness, decided to take the initiative after two days of indecision!
