Mo Yi: Old Village Chief, if only you'd eaten a peanut

PS: Chapter 379, Princess Arc: "How did the ring end up on my hand?" Enraged by her rebellious daughter, Tsukuyomi extends her left hand, displaying the Rune ring to the Princess, and says matter-of-factly, "Naturally, my fiancé Mo Yi, put it on my finger. Yes, at our engagement party last night." Tsukuyomi: Trying to outmaneuver me, Kaguya? You're still too green. Just because I usually disdain such petty tricks doesn't mean I can't. "You..." Hearing the other Princess was so angry that her heart rate soared to over 200 beats per minute. She roared in a fit of impotent rage, "It's clearly me! The one engaged to Mo Yi is me, Houraisan Kaguya, not you, you despicable and shameless Tsukuyomi!" Tsukuyomi the Princess's face flushed red with anger, as if she were about to faint, Tsukuyomi removed her moonlight, revealing a face identical to the Princess's. She then donned the Twelve-layered robe from the Princess's wardrobe, mimicked the Princess's expression and demeanor, and twirled in front of Princess. Using Kaguya's usual tone and manner, she smiled and said, "Who knows? Anyway, in Mo Yi's eyes, I am Houraisan Kaguya, my daughter. Besides, we had a wonderful, sleepless night last night, my dear, and you're still asleep from exhaustion."

Chapter 480: Mo Yi: Old Village Chief, if you had eaten even one peanut...

After the Old Village Chief sat down again, the atmosphere returned to normal. Old Saber, with a serious expression, recounted what he had encountered in the past few days.

First, they investigate the truth about whether the Holy Grail has been corrupted, then they are attacked by Servants who are not in this Holy Grail War, and their purpose is obviously to protect the corrupted Greater Holy Grail.

Finally, Old Saber concluded:

"Those Servants whose number and abilities are unknown are likely Servants summoned by the corrupted Greater Holy Grail to protect themselves."

"Therefore, I hope that everyone can form an alliance to solve the problem of the corrupted Greater Holy Grail. After all, the Greater Holy Grail is corrupted to such an extent that it has even developed a sense of self-preservation."

"If left unchecked, it could very well lead to a huge disaster."

"This is what I wanted to say. I wonder what everyone thinks."

Mo Yi: "..."

Well, those weren't Servants summoned by the Greater Holy Grail, but rather the work of Ai Aotian. As for the alliance that Old Saber mentioned, Mo Yi wasn't optimistic about it.

They're not on the same page. It's not a life-or-death situation yet. How could these heroes with such distinct personalities be willing to form an alliance? The most important thing is, after forming an alliance, whose orders should be followed? Golden Gilgamesh would definitely say he should listen to everyone, but Mo Yi would absolutely not listen to this chuunibyou guy.

"I see—"

Iskandar, however, was somewhat tempted. He had already given up his wish after learning that the Greater Holy Grail had been corrupted. What remained was to be a hero and engage in a thrilling 'conquest' with heroes from other eras, even if everyone either died on the road to conquest.

Upon hearing about the potential for such a major disaster, he naturally didn't mind working with everyone to solve the problem, after all, saving the people is a hero's responsibility!

Moreover, isn't the fight against the corrupted Holy Grail also a conquest full of unknowns and captivating?

"This land is my future territory King of Conquerors. I cannot allow disaster to ravage it. I will do my part to the extent that it is acceptable."

The King of Conquerors's meaning was clear: I agree to the alliance, but I won't blindly follow orders or cooperate with everyone only when it aligns with my own ideas.

Hearing this, Old Saber breathed a slight sigh of relief, at least he had gained another powerful Servant.

"Hahaha--"

Gilgamesh suddenly burst into laughter, picked up his wine glass, poured himself a drink, and said with a laugh, "This is utterly ridiculous, Saber!"

Old Saber: "..."

Although the Old Village Chief didn't say whether he agreed or not, his mocking expression made it clear that he had refused.

"What's so funny, Archer!"

"Isn't protecting the people the king's duty?!"

Faced with Old Saber's righteous questioning, the Old Village Chief seemed to have heard something funny and burst into laughter again. He looked at Old Saber with disdain and said with a smile, "I must say, Saber, you are really interesting. I haven't heard such a funny joke in a long time."

Old Saber: "..."

Rage meter up!

As expected, all of Gilgamesh's guys are annoying!

"Protecting your subjects is indeed a king's duty, but do these modern, monstrous beings, filled with the stench of counterfeits, deserve to be my subjects Gilgamesh's subjects?!"

The Old Village Chief crossed his arms, looked into the distance with a look that said, "Son, Dad is very disappointed." He said, "In my time, everyone had their own value. Even slaves were irreplaceable. But look at this modern world now, there are too many meaningless imitations."

"The corrupted Greater Holy Grail is perfect for filtering out the useless fakes; the remaining humans are qualified to become my subjects again!"

Gilgamesh!

Old Saber, a Justice Partner, could no longer tolerate this! He glared angrily at the Old Village Chief, but after consideration, he realized that the primary enemy was the corrupted Greater Holy Grail, not the Old Village Chief who was currently spouting nonsense. If he fought the old village chief here, regardless of the outcome, it would only diminish the power of justice.

"Oh--"

The Old Village Chief, seeing the Old Saber's angry expression yet restrained from attacking, continued to mock, "Saber, you seem to disagree with my opinion?"

"Well, how about you prove it to me with the sword in your hand—"

Old Saber: "..."

I'm furious, but I have to keep holding back!

Seeing this, Mo Yi could only feel sorry for his misfortune and angry at his lack of ambition. Even Mo Yi felt that the idle Old Village Chief deserved a good beating from society.

At least before the other party was Archer Flash and before he returned from searching for the Elixir of Immortality, he was an extremely annoying guy, even more annoying than Old Saber, that hypocritical guy!

It's hypocrisy; at least everyone else is kind, they just can't stick to it.

"Gilgamesh, here you go—"

Mo Yi took out a Spicy Fried Peanuts from his inventory and handed it to the Old Village Chief.

"Oh--"

The Old Village Chief was quite carefree; he simply picked up a piece and ate it, then looked delighted, probably recalling the culinary experience of encountering Enkidu—a time when one could be captivated by the beauty of nature and find other waters insignificant. In any case, he wore a strangely joyful smile and blushed.

"Excellent, these are the most delicious peanuts I've ever eaten."

Gilgamesh took the peanuts from Mo Yi and began to eat them, easing the tension once again. Only after he finished the peanuts did the Old Village Chief look at Mo Yi and ask with a smile, "Is this an offering to apologize?"

"Although it is more delicious than any food I have ever eaten, Caster, the sins you have committed will not be easily forgiven. If you are willing to become my chef, I may consider it."

"No--"

While the Old Village Chief was eating peanuts, Mo Yi finished explaining the next steps to Lü Ge, and then said sarcastically, "I just wanted to say that if you had eaten even one peanut, you wouldn't have gotten so drunk and started spouting nonsense!"

Iskandar, who was standing to the side, felt that things were not so simple. He was surprised by such a sudden turn of events and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The Old Village Chief, feeling deeply insulted, roared, his face contorted with rage, "Caster, you're courting death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless magical artifacts appeared in the sky, seemingly ready to be launched at any moment.

This mere presence alerted everyone else present. Old Saber quickly pulled Madam Irisviel aside, while Iskandar also took Waver aside, leaving the battlefield to the two who were destined to fight.

"A certain demon called Iskandar also likes to say this phrase, but I've already bombarded him with it countless times, Old Village Chief."

"Ahhh!"

Under Mo Yi's repeated taunts, the Old Village Chief finally unleashed his invincible rage, and then a sky full of magical artifacts were about to be launched at Mo Yi.

Then, the Old Village Chief's vision went black.
