Ling Wuji obviously thought of something, his expression changed, and he said to the elf-like girl: "Then, lead the way."
"Yes."
The girl who called herself Liliana nodded respectfully to the boy, and then cast a large-scale suggestion magic on the surroundings. Finally, she used flying magic in full view of everyone, soared into the sky, and flew straight towards a library like an arrow.
Volume 3: Between God and Man: Chapter 21: Price and Intelligence
When Ling Wuji arrived at the library, he saw the confrontation between the oldest and newest godslayers of the modern era.
As soon as he arrived, he raised his hand and lightly flicked the sword he had made with the yin and yang energies of the Tai Chi diagram. An invisible sound immediately spread out. Kusanagi Godou felt that the strange feeling he had when he first met Ling Wuji came to his mind again. The conflict between reason and desire was unprecedented. He could only look up at the old man, and it was obvious that the old man was also suppressed by the young man's strange magic. The expression on his face changed, but he never made any aggressive move.
"So, you used this spell to defeat that woman?"
The old man suddenly spoke, without waiting for Ling Wuji to introduce himself.
"Strictly speaking, they are actually two spells."
"Oh?"
But Ling Wu Ji had no intention of elaborating. He looked around. The priestess from the official history compilation committee was standing desperately beside the old man, while Kusanagi Godou and his followers were standing opposite them. Behind Ling Wu Ji stood Liliana Crannicar, and there were some shadowy figures standing not far away. The situation seemed to have turned into a delicate three-way confrontation.
But Ling Wu Ji knew very well that it was not the case at all.
"Marquis Vauban, there is one thing I want you to remember. Japan is not his territory now," Ling Wuji pointed his sword at the black-haired boy and said loudly, "Of course it is not my territory either. However, the mysterious side of Tokyo is indeed under my control. You forcibly abducted someone regardless of their will, which violates the rules jointly formulated by Scepter 4 and I..."
"But forgive me for being blunt, Lord Ling Wuji," Erica Blountrey clenched the knight's sword in her hand, but it trembled slightly, but she still said, "The official history compilation committee has not bowed to you, so there is no need for you to intervene..."
Of course she could see that Ling Wuji had completely suppressed the two godslayers.
No matter how he did it, this was worse than the worst case scenario she had originally imagined, so she instinctively wanted to eliminate Ling Wuzhi as a variable. In this way, even if she simply let Kusanagi Godou fight against Vauban, she was confident that she could use her skills to pull Liliana to their side. With the addition of the shrine maiden Mariya Yuri, Kusanagi Godou might have a chance to defeat Vauban.
But the current situation has completely exceeded her expectations.
"'To bear the disgrace of the country is to be the master of the country; to bear the misfortune of the country is to be the king of the world'," Ling Wuji said absentmindedly, "Although I really have no reason to accept the submission of the Official History Compilation Committee, I cannot allow the rules I set to be violated for anything, even if that is to encourage my enemies..."
Ling Wuji flicked his sword again and said, "So, Marquis Vauban, you know why I came here, right?"
"I'm not interested," the old man just rolled his green eyes and said, "Unless you attack me directly now, my interest is always to restart the ritual and summon the God of Disobedience. If you want to stop me, you must pay the corresponding price."
"cost?"
"It's prey on the same level as the God of Disobedience."
Ling Wuji's eyes immediately focused on the other God Slayer in the field, then he nodded and said, "Then, Kusanagi Godou, you can take Mariya Yuri to any place other than Tokyo and China..."
Kusanagi Godou wanted to complain about something, but he couldn't open his mouth and could only remain silent.
The others seemed to have accepted Ling Wuzhi's arrangement and were waiting for him to lift the restrictions so that they could take immediate action.
But Ling Wuji shook his head: "I was just joking. It seems that doing this is not violating the rules I set..."
"I say, Marquis Vauban, you are currently living in the Balkans?"
"It's true."
"Then have you ever heard of a ritual held by a magician in Romania called the Holy Grail War?"
"Only a young man like Alexander Gascoigne would be interested in something like the Holy Grail."
The old man just answered leisurely.
"Let me make it short. The Holy Grail Ceremony can fulfill the wishes of the victor, and this is not nonsense," Ling Wuji said. "Even if you want to find prey in the Holy Grail War, it is not impossible. It is said that the Holy Grail War can attract divine servants, provided that the holy relics you prepare are good enough. Moreover, if you win the final victory, you may even be able to fulfill the wish of attracting the god of disobedience."
"Is that right?"
The old man turned his head to look at a figure that looked as stiff as a corpse, and the figure just nodded silently.
"Very interesting information," the old man nodded, "but it's not enough."
"not enough?"
"I mean, you will also participate in that Holy Grail War, right?"
"Are you a pussy?"
"What does shaking M mean?"
Ling Wuji waved his hands weakly, unlocked the restrictions on the "Heavenly Sound" and "Human Sound" spells, and said, "Although I do want to participate."
"Then I will be waiting for you."
Although the smile on the old man's face looked happy, it was full of cruelty and ruthlessness.
Ling Wuji just responded casually and asked the rest of the people to go back, but at this time, Kusanagi Godou didn't realize that he was unconsciously excited and said to himself: "Wait! What is going on with the Holy Grail War?"
"You can think of it as some kind of strange battle royale. Generally speaking, the Holy Grail will choose seven people with magic power and strong wishes to become Masters and give them Command Seals, but Command Seals can also be obtained through robbery. Those who have Command Seals can use the magic power of the Holy Grail to summon Servants, and the so-called Servants are probably equivalent to the projections or clones of Heroic Spirits. What kind of Servant can be summoned depends on what Holy Relics the Master has prepared and his affinity with the Heroic Spirit. For example, if you get the Eight-foot Mirror, there is a high probability that you will summon Amaterasu in your Japanese mythology. If you get the Sword of Ame-no-Murakumo, it will probably be Susanoo, but that image may be very different from the Susanoo you know. The Holy Grail War is to let seven pairs of Masters and Servants fight each other, and the final winner can make a wish to the Holy Grail to realize the winner's wish. Although the purpose of the Holy Grail system was not created for this, and I heard that the Holy Grail system has a hidden mechanism that can even select fourteen Masters. What, you look like you are very interested?"
Volume 3: Between Gods and Men: Chapter 22: The Holy Grail War of the God Slayers
Kusanagi Godou almost wanted to admit that he was interested.
The warlike nature hidden deep in his heart made his blood boil, but he still chose to suppress it and said, "In other words, if you and him choose to join the battle, you will be fighting at the level of four disobedient gods?"
"You think highly of me."
Ling Wu Ji just said.
"Not only that, it is rumored that the Black Prince Alexander Gascoigne is also seeking the Holy Grail. Even though that artificial Holy Grail is fake, he may want to get involved." The blonde girl next to Kusanagi Godou also said at this time.
"So... there are six?"
"I guess when the Sword King sees so many God Slayers going there, he will also rush over to join in the fun. After all, Italy is not far from that place."
Liliana, who had been standing silently behind Ling Wuji, also said this.
Kusanagi Godou's face turned pale. "You have gathered so many sources of disaster and can summon servants of god-level. Do you want to destroy the whole of Europe?"
"It shouldn't be that serious," Ling Wuji thought for a moment and said, "Besides, the number of God Slayers now is already dangerous. It would be appropriate for you God Slayers to have a civil war to eliminate a few of them."
"Wait! What do you mean the number of God Slayers is dangerous?" Kusanagi Godou asked hurriedly.
"Haven't you heard about it? When there are enough God Slayers in this world, the destiny hidden in the deepest part of this world will awaken the Last King and destroy the God Slayers wandering on the earth. That person will draw power from the earth without scruples, so in the battle between him and the God Slayers, it will cause volcanic eruptions, cracks in the earth, and movement of mountains, just like the end of the world. The best way to prevent the awakening of the Last King is to reduce the number of God Slayers to a certain level."
"I've never heard of such a thing."
Woban's face didn't look very good either. After all, Ling Wuji's implication was that the final king could crush the God Slayer with absolute advantage like him.
"Then do you know what happened to the godslayers before you?" Ling Wuji just said casually, "After all, although there are rumors that godslayers will only die in the battle with the gods of disobedience, it is impossible for the godslayers of one era to die completely before the next generation of godslayers will appear, right?"
"Humph," the old man just said coldly, "I don't believe in such a fabricated thing. Even if there really is a Last King, don't even think about killing me!"
Ling Wuji was obviously too lazy to deal with the old man and wanted to leave, but Kusanagi Godou said, "So your goal is to use this Holy Grail War to reduce the number of God Slayers?"
"Who knows?"
Ling Wuji gave him a rather ambiguous answer.
"In that case, I want to participate too!"
"Oh, then I'll look forward to your performance a little bit."
Ling Wuji just spoke without interest.
Liliana, who was standing behind him, didn't know what to say when she heard what these people said: Assuming that these people have obtained the holy relics of god-level servants, and they themselves are the source of disasters that can change the landscape at any time, after joining the Holy Grail War and being able to control the Servants with the Command Spells provided by that system, I'm afraid they can really completely destroy the whole of Europe?
In comparison, the trigger for this war was nothing more than the Marquis Vauban's petty selfishness.
She looked towards her childhood rival, but the blonde girl didn't notice her gaze. She was just arguing with the Seventh God Slayer. Obviously, although the Japanese God Slayer kept saying that he wanted to stop the war, his actions undoubtedly only made the situation of the war worse. He simply didn't have the power to end everything in a short period of time. His participation could only escalate the situation.
So when she saw that the three men present had made their choice, she couldn't help but become anxious: if the situation was irreversible, she had to support the party most likely to resolve the situation, so as to minimize the impact.
But among the three people present, Ling Wuji is indeed the most likely winner, but he is the culprit who caused this Holy Grail War. If the Holy Grail War really destroyed the whole of Europe, he must have an unshirkable responsibility! And the Marquis of Vauban is obviously not the ideal lord in her mind. This man's methods are too willful, selfish and extreme. She has also accumulated a lot of opinions recently, but the Japanese God Slayer is obviously also a problematic person. He knew that his participation would escalate the situation, but he still vowed to end the war. No matter how you look at it, it is too hypocritical!
Is there not one person among these superiors who can be a little more obedient?
She couldn't help but complain in her heart.
But no matter how much she wanted to, she couldn't stop it.
So she had no choice but to ask Ling Wuji in a low voice: "Is this really okay?"
"What kind?"
Liliana noticed that the boy's gesture of turning back made the distance between them seem unusually ambiguous, just like the plot in some romance novels. She blushed at the sight, but managed to remain calm and said, "Drag all the God Slayers to the same battlefield..."
"You mean, you want me to drag Luo Hao and the Pluto in North America into this? Oh, maybe we should also include the elusive Lady Aisha?"
"of course not!"
The silver-haired knight girl immediately fiercely refuted the boy's words.
But after hearing what Ling Wuji said, Wobang nodded immediately and said, "That's fine. This is a good opportunity to end the feud between Luo Hao and me. Do you want to notify her or should I send someone?"
At this point in time, do we still need to increase the number of God Slayers?
Liliana looked at the old and young present in disbelief.
"If we can get rid of the extra godslayers in one fell swoop, there seems to be no need to keep Luo Hao as the signboard of the mysterious side of southern China..."
The young man whispered to himself in Chinese, as if it was the whisper of some devil.
Coincidentally, Liliana had learned Chinese through magic because of her mission to communicate with the boy some time ago. When she heard the boy's words at this time, she was so shocked that she couldn't say anything.
No matter how you look at it, the boy's behavior was too unexpected. Although she knew about the grudge between the boy and Luo Hao, she thought that the two had actually reconciled. But she didn't expect that Ling Wuzhi, who could defeat Luo Hao, would choose to let that man go. The reason was that the mysterious side of southern China needed such a co-leader to maintain the status quo?
But if the status quo is broken, can she be allowed to die without any scruples?
Volume 3: Between God and Man: Chapter 23: Prepare for a Rainy Day
That being said, the Holy Grail system in Romania has not yet drawn enough spiritual energy from the earth veins, and the Great Holy Grail is under the control of a certain magician family. There are also rumors that the so-called Thousand World Tree Family intends to use the Holy Grail to break away from the Magic Association and become independent. Therefore, the Magic Association wants to use the hidden mechanism of the Holy Grail system to summon seven additional Servants, forming a seven-on-seven situation. Moreover, with the Holy Grail War approaching again, the two sides are getting closer and closer to tearing each other apart -
However, after Ling Wuji brought the disaster there, he couldn't predict how the situation would develop.
Although neither the Thousand Worlds Tree nor the Clock Tower are actually good guys.
As for the Marquis Vauban, he was certainly not a good person either.
It remains to be seen which side he will choose to take the quota from.
But what Wu Ji can be sure of is that this old man only cares about fighting and not wishes, so no matter whether he chooses to eradicate the Thousand Worlds Tree and control the Holy Grail there, he will not do anything there, but just wants to introduce stronger opponents and make the situation more chaotic, so that he can get more fun in this war.
"Anyway, I can't intervene in the situation over there in the short term. I can only wait and see what will happen."
Ling Wuji himself wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War. Besides wanting to cause a civil war among the God Slayers and reduce their numbers, he did have his own selfish motives. If he were to practice step by step, it would take a long time to be promoted to the Nascent Soul level, let alone the True Person level.
But if he could find the product of the third law inside the Holy Grail, he would be able to comprehend in advance what kind of existence the "Yang God" is and how it can be condensed. At that time, he might not be able to just escape from the God of Disobedience.
But this kind of thing is still too far away.
