Feeling Lin Luo's gaze on her, Irisviel raised her head.

Lin Luo smiled and said, "Don't stay here anymore. Come with me."

"Really?"

Alice's eyes widened with delight. "Can I really go outside?"

"Really!"

Lin Luo patted her head and smiled. "From now on, you can do things you enjoy."

"Th-that's wonderful!" Alice jumped up excitedly and rushed straight to her wardrobe:

"What should I bring for the outside world... I'll take this winter outfit made from expensive fur. Apparently, ordinary people wear this in winter..."

“And this Princess dress. I heard it's essential when ordinary people go out.”

Lin Luo: "..."

An expensive fur winter outfit.

Princess dress.

Just as he thought!

This sheltered young lady still had a very long way to go when it came to common sense.

Chapter 54: Those who deserved to die

Outside the castle gates!

"This is wonderful! I've wanted to drive myself for ages."

Sitting in the driver's seat, Irisviel looked like a child who had just received a new toy.

Watching her, Lin Luo froze for a moment.

Had he forgotten something?

After thinking for a moment, he gave up.

Oh well. It probably wasn't anything important.

But a few minutes later!

Lin Luo finally remembered something.

The night grew darker.

A family sedan hurtled along the mountain road, roaring like a wild beast.

"Hahaha! Driving really is the most fun of all!"

Wind rushed through the window, sending Irisviel's silver hair flying as her bell-like laughter rang out.

"S-so scary!"

Sakura Matou was completely dazed, huddled deep in Lin Luo's arms.

Even if she was a Devil, she was still a child.

Big Sister Irisviel's driving is terrifying.

Hurry, someone save me!

"Miss Irisviel, aren't you going a little too fast?"

Sitting in the back seat, Medusa wasn't frightened, but she still said in surprise, "This really doesn't seem like something you would do."

In her mind, Irisviel was simply a sheltered young lady who had never even left her castle.

"Fast? I don't think so."

Shifting gears, Irisviel said without looking back, "There's only one car in the castle. I only get to drive it occasionally."

"This is my first time driving like this."

Watching her clumsy gear changes, Artoria braced herself and asked, "So you taught yourself?"

"Of course. I'm very talented, aren't I?"

Is talent really the issue here?

Everyone had something to say, but wasn't sure whether to say it.

"Never mind. Let her drive."

Lin Luo rubbed his brow. "Just make sure you don't hurt anyone else."

Fortunately, he wasn't an ordinary person in this life.

Otherwise, riding in a car like this might genuinely have given him a phobia.

"Lord Lin Luo really does treat me best."

Alice turned back to give Lin Luo a tender look.

Artoria said, "Miss Irisviel, watch the road!"

"Don't worry. Everything is under control."

"I really can't see how!"

Good grief. Even Artoria had started making sarcastic remarks.

The car went faster and faster. Even around bends, with sheer cliffs plunging away beside the road, it didn't slow down in the slightest.

Thanks to Irisviel's driving skills.

Their travel time was cut to less than half the estimate, and they were already back at the Matou Family's mansion.

"I... I survived."

Staggering out of the car, Sakura Matou's legs shook as she stammered, "I'm never riding in Big Sister Irisviel's car again."

"Hm?"

Lin Luo had just been about to say something when he sensed something, and his expression turned cold.

Medusa asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Master?"

This was the first time she had ever seen her master like this.

"Nothing. I found two bastards who deserve to die."

Medusa volunteered, "Then I'll come too."

"All right."

The night was still as water!

Moonlight spilled down, making a dark Forest look even more eerie and sinister.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, which even the wind couldn't disperse.

Deep within the Forest lay a scene straight out of Hell.

The ground was entirely crimson, with countless severed limbs piled together.

"Haha, Uncle Bluebeard, this much death should make you even stronger, right?"

Standing in a pool of blood, Ryunosuke Uryu ran a hand through his short hair, smearing the blood in it onto his hand and face.

His rather handsome face now looked like that of a true murderous fiend.

"It's still not enough. I need more lives, more sacrifices."

A sinister-faced man in a loose robe said quietly, "Only then can I deal with that Devil impersonating me as Caster."

That was right. He, Gilles de Rais, was the true Caster.

"That Devil seems pretty strong."

Ryunosuke Uryu gave an innocent yet cruel smile. "Uncle Bluebeard, if you want to win the Holy Grail War, wouldn't it be better to deal with the other Heroic Spirits first?"

"That won't do."

Gilles de Rais smiled sinisterly. "Impersonating my class is one thing, but he actually took Jeanne for himself. That is utterly unforgivable."

"That's right. When you put it that way, he really does deserve to die ten thousand times over."

Ryunosuke Uryu nodded eagerly. "I just wonder whether a Devil's death will be what I've been searching for."

But just then, a voice rang out abruptly, making both Gilles de Rais and Ryunosuke Uryu's expressions change.

"Don't worry. When you die today, you'll definitely find what you've been searching for."

"Who's there?"

Gilles de Rais spun around, the glow of Magic Circles already blooming all around him.

As a Caster.

This was the site of his magecraft workshop.

For someone to have infiltrated this place was an utter humiliation.

Under his watchful gaze.

A man and a woman walked toward him from the distant Forest.

Beneath the moonlight, they looked like a couple strolling through the woods.

"It's you."

Gilles de Rais gritted his teeth. "Well, well, you impostor. I hadn't even come looking for you, and you dared to show up here yourself?"

P.S. This book will become paid tonight. I hope all you dear readers will support it by purchasing the first paid chapter. My heartfelt thanks.

Chapter 55: Medusa: My heart skipped a beat

"Is that how you treat guests who've come such a long way?"

Holding Medusa's hand, Lin Luo greeted him calmly, as though he had run into an old friend:

"But never mind. After all, this is our first meeting, and I believe it will also be our last."

"A mere impostor, and yet you talk so big."

The corners of Gilles de Rais's mouth lifted, the murderous intent in his eyes almost tangible:

"Fine. You've saved me the trouble of finding you."

"You can stay right here."

His sinister voice echoed as countless rustling sounds arose from the surrounding Forest, like venomous snakes slithering over the ground.

Under the dim moonlight, grotesque monsters appeared all around them, seemingly out of thin air.

"Master, these are all Water Demons."

Medusa's expression shifted, and she told Lin Luo quietly, "There are a lot of them, but if this is all they amount to, leave them to me."

"All right!"

With Lin Luo's approval, Medusa shot forward like a shell fired from a cannon.

Her tall, perfectly proportioned body displayed a ferocity utterly at odds with her beauty as she charged straight into the mass of Water Demons.

Boom!

A terrifying gale swept outward as a short sword on a chain over ten meters long tore through the air, instantly sweeping in every direction.

As the chained short sword lashed back and forth, the surrounding trees were severed in one sweep, throwing dust into the air.

In just an instant.

Dozens of Water Demons had already been cut apart.

Immediately afterward!

Medusa leaped into the air, terrifying Magic Power erupting from her as she seemed to become a Valkyrie sweeping across the battlefield.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One Water Demon after another fell apart before they could mount any effective counterattack.
