Unable to Get Out of Bed

Olga Marie's voice came through the communicator. "You mean, she is the Greece moon goddess Artemis?!"

"That's right, I am Artemis, the moon goddess, a deity!" Artemis said proudly, but even so, she still clung to Mephistopheles.

At this moment, Olga Marie finally understood why this woman was so close to Mephistopheles.

How can we not be intimate?

This was Artemis's lover!

Artemis would naturally be very close to him!

Romani watched Olga Marie's expression from the side, then slightly turned his head away, not wanting to look in that direction anymore; he couldn't bear to look.

Upon hearing this introduction, Ritsuka Fujimaru's eyes widened in surprise. "It's the Moon Goddess!"

Mash Kyrielight was also very surprised. "Can a god become a Servant?"

"Is it because of the special nature of this place?" Mephistopheles glanced at the sea surrounding the ship. "The Sea of Oceanus, the legendary ocean. Although the Age of Gods ended, traces of it remain here. The fact that this Singularity is in such a place means that this anomaly is more troublesome than the previous ones."

"Oh, right, it's not just me who's here, Atalanta is here too!" Artemis added.

Mephistopheles exclaimed in surprise, "Atalanta is here too?!"

"Yes, this region is more suitable for summoning Greece Heroic Spirit, so she took the opportunity to come down. Based on her experience, you should also appear here, so this is an opportunity. Therefore, not only Atalanta, Medea also came."

Mephistopheles blinked as he heard those familiar names.

"Have they gotten together again?"

"We need to search first, because the problem during the summoning caused everyone to get scattered." Artemis looked into the distance. "I can sense it; we can head that way."

That direction is where the ship is heading.

"Yes, go that way and you'll meet them!"

With the pirates rowing hard, the group finally arrived at a small island. The island was beautiful, but it was also inhabited by pirates. However, these pirates were pitiful; they had just come to rob some things when Mash Kyrielight subdued them in an instant.

With Mash Kyrielight alone, Ritsuka Fujimaru didn't even have a chance to draw her weapon.

Thus, this poor pirate became their source of intelligence.

"You mean you want to ask your captain?" Mephistopheles said to the pirate.

"Yes, yes, ask the captain, she's the smartest person!" The pirate nodded hurriedly, not daring to hide anything. "The situation is strange; perhaps the only one who knows the truth is the captain!"

What's your captain's name?

Francis Drake.

"It's him!" Mephistopheles exclaimed in surprise, but quickly muttered, "Could he have been gender-swapped again?"

"The captain is a woman!" the pirate exclaimed, somewhat disgruntled. "She has a great figure and is very beautiful!"

Upon hearing this, Mephistopheles sighed, "Just as I expected!"

Francis Drake, the first person to truly circumnavigate the globe alive, is an indelible achievement in human history. And now, this pirate has appeared here, in a legendary sea that doesn't exist in the real world—the Sea of Oceanus, the end of the world.

This gave Mephistopheles an immediate idea.

"Take us to your captain!"

"You've discovered a problem?" Artemis asked.

Mephistopheles nodded and followed behind the pirates, as did Mash Kyrielight and the others.

"Drake is too important to human history, so she is most likely at the center of this problem. As long as we follow her, we can find out exactly where the problem lies and where the enemy is."

Mephistopheles explained to Artemis in a low voice, and Artemis hummed in response, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Wait a minute, your body..."

What's wrong with my body?

"I sense that your divinity is greater and more intense than before. If you wish to become a god, rely on this divinity and ask the Father God for help, and you can become a god immediately!"

"Yes, it's because a group of people believe in me, which has caused divinity to appear within me. However, I don't plan to become a god for now, because there are still some paths I need to walk. If I skip directly, trouble will arise."

"Your True Magic training?"

"Yes, that's the troublesome thing." Mephistopheles didn't hide anything. Artemis knew very well that Mephistopheles had his own set of True Magic practices, so there was no need to hide that.

"I can sense that your strength has increased. Indeed, you have experienced a lot since leaving Greece."

As the two were talking, they arrived at the pirate camp and saw a scantily clad and very sexy female pirate, a woman with red hair named Francis Drake.

Drake glanced at the group and chuckled, "Bombey, you really did bring a bunch of weirdos."

"Yes, but they have their merits too!" the pirate known as Bombey immediately exclaimed. "They not only saved our lives, but also said they admire the captain and want to meet you!"

He was clearly defeated, but what he said now was completely different. Mephistopheles could only sigh that this guy was indeed a pirate; he could really talk a good game.

"Admire? Admire me? Really?!" Drake's expression clearly showed disbelief.

The pirate quickly added, "Yes, yes, all along the way they were praising Captain Drake as a great man, saying he could easily take down the Spanish navy with one hand. They also said the captain was a giant over three meters tall, a hero who could swallow a barrel of wine whole!"

"Huh?! What's that? I haven't done so many bad things!"

Mephistopheles struggled to suppress the urge to facepalm. These words were half true and half false. The part about defeating the Spanish fleet was true; it was something Mash Kyrielight and Ritsuka Fujimaru said when introducing Drake on the way. As for the three-meter height thing, it was obviously fake.

"I never imagined that the legendary Drake was actually a woman, senpai," Mash Kyrielight whispered to Ritsuka Fujimaru.

Romani, on the other end of the communicator, also looked surprised. "Yeah, I didn't expect that either!"

Olga Marie, however, remained calm. "Isn't this normal? Aren't there plenty of cases where the record says it's a man, but it turns out to be a woman? It's happened several times already, hasn't it?"

Romani was speechless.

Ritsuka Fujimaru also said, "Wasn't it already confirmed back then? Drake is a woman."

"But it's also quite surprising, senior! The impact of hearing and seeing are two different experiences!"

As the group whispered amongst themselves, Drake addressed them, "So, who are you? It seems my idiots have been taken care of by you."

Mash Kyrielight immediately stepped forward and said to Drake, "You must be Francis Drake. We come from an organization called Chaldea. My Mash Kyrielight."

She then introduced the others, hesitating for a moment before finally saying, "This is Artemis."

Drake looked surprised. "It's named after the Greece moon goddess?"

Artemis said nothing about it. Even if the other party thought she was an ordinary person, she didn't have any thoughts about it. After all, she had experience of hiding her identity and traveling around the human world before.

Then, Drake asked with some confusion, "Chaldea? What do the astrologers want with me? Are they trying to sell me a new star map?"

"Wow, I never expected this drunkard to be so knowledgeable...! He even knows the origins of Chaldea!" Dr. Roman exclaimed in surprise from the other end of the communicator.

Upon hearing this voice, Drake frowned slightly. "... I sense a superficiality about it, the kind of weak, pessimistic, spineless, yet utterly cowardly 'yes-man' vibe that I despise the most."

Hearing this, Mash Kyrielight's eyes widened. "... It's too perfect. Senpai, this person's analysis, or rather, intuition, is simply too perfect!"

Clearly, both Drake's assessment and Mash Kyrielight's reaction dealt a heavy blow to Romani on the other end of the communicator.

Fortunately, Drake did not press her advantage to deliver a fatal blow to Romani. She said, "This is nothing, too much trouble. So what do you Chaldea people want with me?"

Mash Kyrielight quickly gave a brief account of what had happened, and Drake fell into deep thought. Although she appeared to be drunk, she was actually quite sober.

However, it was clear that she didn't intend to directly reveal what had happened to her. Instead, she said, "We are pirates. If you want to know things from us, you'll have to fight first!"

Without any intention of compromise, Drake challenged the group to a duel.

And naturally, Mash Kyrielight was the one who would engage in this duel.

Mephistopheles was too lazy to make a move, while Artemis clung to Mephistopheles. If Ritsuka Fujimaru were to draw her sword, her fighting power would increase too drastically, making her difficult to control.

Therefore, Mash Kyrielight is the only one suitable to take action right now.

What's somewhat surprising is that Drake, despite being human, displayed incredible strength, much like Nero!

Mash Kyrielight fought Drake for a while and finally defeated him. Slightly out of breath, she whispered to Ritsuka Fujimaru, "If it weren't for the special training, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to win this time. Moreover, she had obvious magical energy. She might be Magecraft, or a born hero."

Drake then said, "I lost, so you can ask me anything you want to know. We'll even help you out, except for risking our lives."

Mash Kyrielight immediately asked, "Where is this?"

Drake shook his head. "I don't know. The ocean currents and other factors are all problematic, and it's clearly impossible to determine the region."

"Just as we suspected, Drake doesn't know where this place is either..." Mash Kyrielight nodded, then said the name of the place, "This is the Sea of Oceanus, the legendary end of the world..."

"It's the Sea of Oceanus! I never expected to end up in a place like this. But none of that matters now. I've already lost, I surrender, and from now on we're comrades!"

As he spoke, he pulled a group Mash Kyrielight people to go drinking. Mash Kyrielight was even grabbed and forced to drink.

Ritsuka Fujimaru hesitated for a moment before stepping forward, intending to build good relationships with these people first. How to do that? Naturally, by drinking together.

However, when it was Mephistopheles's turn, Mephistopheles shook his head. "I'll stand guard. It's not safe here yet; someone needs to keep watch."

This reason was so perfect that no one pressured him to drink anymore.

Chapter 157 Unable to Get Out of Bed

Artemis, seeing that Mephistopheles wasn't drinking, thought for a moment, then walked over and sat down beside him. "You don't need to get drunk, do you?"

"Mainly because it's too much trouble," Mephistopheles said, looking into the distance. "Besides, I sense the Holy Grail's aura on Drake."

"Oh, the Holy Grail, I know it," Artemis said.

Mephistopheles was taken aback. "You know?!"

"Of course I know!" Artemis leaned against Mephistopheles with a grin, her fingers lightly tracing his cheek. "Do you want to know what happened? If you want to know, shouldn't you show some kind of gesture?"

Mephistopheles chuckled and immediately leaned in, planting a hard kiss on Artemis's lips.

His movements were natural, proactive, and without any hesitation; even with a group of pirates nearby, he didn't see any problem.

"Wow!" Drake whistled upon seeing this, and even egged them on. "Should we prepare a house for you guys?!"

"You two are way too forward!"

"Yeah, yeah, do you want me to give you a room?"

Mephistopheles smiled, waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it, and then said to Artemis, whose face was flushed but who was very excited, "So, can you tell me now?"

She took a deep breath, calming her somewhat agitated heart, and slowly said, "Actually, that Holy Grail belonged to Poseidon, but she stole it from him, or rather, won it."

"Poseidon?!" Mephistopheles was stunned again. "Don't tell me he was defeated."

"He was accidentally thrown into the whirlpool, and Atlantis perished along with him. But he certainly didn't really intend to destroy humanity; if he truly wanted to, he wouldn't have gone through all this trouble," Artemis said, glancing at the sky. "Besides, if he wanted to destroy humanity, Zeus wouldn't have allowed it."

At that moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the other side.

It's Mash Kyrielight's voice.

"This... this is the Holy Grail?!"

It turned out that Drake had taken out a golden cup from between his chest, which could be described as a four-dimensional pocket, and wine and food kept flowing out of it.

Drake seemed unfazed by Mash Kyrielight's surprise, as if he had just picked up some trash. However, the pirate beside him was indignant and immediately recounted everything Drake had done.

It wasn't too different from what Artemis said: they encountered Atlantis, which suddenly appeared in the vortex, and then there was a guy who called himself the sea god who said he wanted to destroy humanity. As a result, Drake caused the entire Atlantis to be caught in the vortex.

Naturally, Poseidon also entered the vortex and stopped causing trouble for Drake.

All I can say is that they've gone to extreme lengths to reduce the money supply.

As Mephistopheles listened to the story, he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Artemis, "Could this Holy Grail have been deliberately sent down?"

Why do you say that?

"The opposing side is using the Holy Grail to destroy history, but if the figures protecting history also obtain the Holy Grail, then this Holy Grail can stabilize time and space to a certain extent and prevent problems from occurring. The two Holy Grail fighting each other might cause some unexpected changes."

Mephistopheles said, looking up at the sea.

"So this is the reason? This is why it appeared in the Sea of Oceanus!"

Artemis smiled, offering no reply, nor did she need one; her smile said it all.

Meanwhile, the pirates on the other side were having a big drinking session with Mash Kyrielight and Ritsuka Fujimaru. By the time the banquet ended, both of them were quite drunk, especially Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was so drunk that she was about to fall to the ground.

These pirates drink every day at sea, so how could Ritsuka Fujimaru possibly outdrink them? Mash, being Mash Kyrielight- Demi-Servant, has a much better resistance to alcohol than Ritsuka Fujimaru, so even though she looks drunk, she hasn't passed out.

Then, Mephistopheles watched as the Holy Grail automatically disappeared into Drake's four-dimensional pocket, and narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, the Holy Grail entered her body directly, causing her magical power to surge instantly, and giving her combat power almost comparable to a Servant..."

"I thought you were staring at her chest," Artemis said with a sly smile, her tone unfriendly.

"I was actually staring at the Holy Grail."

"So where is the Holy Grail now?"
