Lost Narrative Poetry

Therefore, Xia Ran's policy in this matter is very simple, that is, honesty.

He said whatever he thought in his heart, and this was indeed his true heart. After all, even with the intelligence advantage obtained based on the prescient plot, he knew that the obsession of the witch in front of him was to find someone who would not betray her.

It was impossible for him to say that he would trust Medea directly and unconditionally... so it was impossible and unrealistic to directly trust her. Moreover, Medea herself did not believe in such a thing.

Therefore, Xia Ran stated very frankly that he could not do such a thing, but he was willing to try to trust Medea and promised that as long as the other party did not betray her first, he would never betray her.

Facts have proven that this kind of honesty is really the right medicine and very effective——

Known as the witch of betrayal, she constantly betrays and is betrayed by others. What Medea longs for most but cannot ask for is very clear. But no one knows how deep-rooted this obsession is in her heart.

At this moment, Medea's whole body trembled. Although she hesitated for a moment, she didn't know whether it was because she didn't believe Xia Ran's words or because she didn't expect that the Master she met was so honest, so she didn't react for a while.

But soon, the witch of the gods raised her head. She stood up and stretched out her hand to hold Xia Ran's palm. She smiled and said softly: "I am very happy to serve you, Master..."

It feels like I have met a good Master this time.

Although he said it more directly, he was very honest, which made her like him more than if he only said nice things. So Medea also thinks that the other party's proposal is good. Maybe she can try to believe the other party and gain their trust...

She did not ask repeatedly to confirm the authenticity and reliability of the other party's words. After all, she was not a child anymore. It was enough to speak to this level. After that, she only needed to bear witness with her own eyes.

As for whether both parties will abide by today's agreement or repeat the fate of betrayal, time can only tell.

"Then, we've reached a consensus..." Xia Ran laughed and took back his palm, "Speaking of which, it's late at night now, so you should go and rest first... After all, this is only the first day, we don't need to go overboard. urgent."

"There's no need to rest for the time being, Master. I haven't done anything yet, and I haven't consumed much, and the magic power you supplied to me is very sufficient..."

Medea seemed to correct her identity immediately and entered the state. She shook her head and spoke.

"Although I feel ashamed to say this, in the Holy Grail War, Caster is a relatively weak class... Even if you still have that ally, we still need to strengthen it from other places to increase our chances of winning."

This sentence is not modest, but truthful.

Because during the Holy Grail War, many Servants of other classes had more or less the ability to deal with magic, which invisibly weakened Caster's direct combat ability.

But it's just that the direct combat ability seems to be insufficient. It is never just the option of head-on that affects the final outcome.

"The class skills I possess are A-level "Fort Construction" and A-level "Item Creation". As long as you give me time and conditions, I can create a temple that exceeds the workshop level, expand the position to gather magic power, or... Make magical instruments, including magic costumes..."

Medea introduced herself. Although her direct combat ability was nothing to boast about, she was able to reverse an unfavorable situation just by relying on these two extremely high-level class skills.

It can be said that compared to other Servants, she is a hero who prefers late development.

At the beginning, there may be some problems in meeting anyone head-on, but as long as she is given time and conditions to prepare, she can greatly improve her combat effectiveness, and even defeat the Holy Grail War in one go in the later stages.

Xia Ran didn't doubt this at all. He was not a cloud player who only watched animations. Naturally, he knew that it was not just a few designated idiots who could shine.

If the Caster in front of him is used well, it can even help him develop a lineup that can crush everything. For example, in the UBW line of the fifth battle, Medea relied on strategy to master Saber, Red A, and Kojiro at the same time, plus herself and the strengthened People's Teacher... This lineup is much more oppressive than the enthusiastic citizen Mr. Jin. too much.

He waved his hand: "I don't doubt this, but there is no need to rush this matter. I don't plan to use Matou House as a position. I'd better choose a better place later..."

"If that's your wish."

Medea looked at his expression carefully and said nothing, just nodded lightly.

It seemed that the Master had already made a clear plan. In this case, she would not say anything more. The reason why she took the initiative to make suggestions just now was indeed to prove that she had started to correct her attitude.

…

…

Time flew by and the next day came quickly.

Although the Holy Grail War has officially begun, it did not heat up immediately, so the people of Fuyuki City can still maintain a good mood for the time being.

The Matou family is also shrouded in an atmosphere of uncertainty. They probably confirmed the death of the old bug and discovered that what happened last night was not a sweet dream. They had to face the cruel reality when they woke up...

So they always feel that it is unreal, but they can't suppress the ecstasy deep inside. They don't even want to hold the old bug's funeral, even if it's just a superficial formality, they don't want to do it.

If he is dead, why should he hold a funeral? !

They didn't hold a celebration banquet, and they were very restrained. If there was another funeral, a bunch of people would be invited over, and then I and the others would have to pretend to be sad in front of them and mourn for the old bug...

It was really disgusting to think about it, and they felt that they couldn't accept it at all.

So it's better to take it slow. After a while, when they calm down, they may hold their noses and hold a funeral for the old bug, which will also give an explanation to the social relations on the surface.

Although Xia Ran took over the Matong family, he did not waste time in this regard and allowed them to fiddle with themselves. After all, the assets of the Matou family were of limited help to him, and he didn't want to play any simulated management in this regard, so he simply left it all to Matou Tsuruno.

The only things he values ​​​​are the magic books in the library and the magic materials in the treasure house. These things are more useful to him... The former can help him quickly complete the mystery of this world. Knowledge base, the latter can be used by Medea to make magic costumes and so on.

Because there was no need to worry about the bloody key disappearing, even today, Xia Ran went over to the independent house that was burned to rubble, rummaged through it, and got his trophies.

Of course, he didn't expect the old bug to come up with anything good. Facts have proved that it is indeed the case. Apart from the inevitable magic seals, there are only a few skill scrolls.

Basically, they are related to disgusting things like imprinted bugs. They are based on cultivating and using these bugs, as well as the ability to turn yourself into a bug, parasitize others, and extend your life...

Xia Ran just took one look and chose to destroy it - he neither studied on his own, nor let the space be recycled, or converted into a sum of funds... This was his bottom line, and he couldn't tell what would happen in the future, at least he was aware of these now. Something scoffed.

As for the Matou family's magic seal, he thought about it and finally decided not to give it to Matou Sakura. The little girl probably didn't want it either. Moreover, magic engraving cannot be matched with non-blood people, and there is almost no room for interference from others.

But Xia Ran himself doesn't want this thing, not only because it comes from the old bug, but also because he is not interested in those magics at all... In addition, he is also a non-blood person, so he wants to transplant the magic engraving. Almost impossible.

Probably only by returning to the space can such enhancement be carried out, but the price/performance ratio is not high and a large amount of points crystals have to be paid. It feels like a loss just thinking about it, so he simply changed hands and let the space be recycled.

In addition to the points that had not been used at all before, he directly strengthened the intellectual attribute to a value of 69 points, and the spiritual attribute to a value of 65 points... The causal crystal was not used much.

Last night, Old Chongzi gave him two B-level crystals, and two C-level crystals were left from the previous world. If he adds them together, he can get the first A-level crystal in the Lost Man's career...

Still in the reception room, discussions and plans for the Holy Grail War are in progress.

Matou Kariya also joined in. Although the old bug is dead now, he only has one month left to live, so he does not intend to withdraw from the Holy Grail War, but is ready to continue to work for Xia Ran.

Because he doesn't have much time left and can no longer take care of Sakura, this matter can only be entrusted to someone with a guaranteed future. What's embarrassing is that besides Xia Ran, he has no one else he can count on.

The first thing they have to do is to enhance Matou Kariya's battery life——

Although the Berserker summoned by this man had improved his ability parameters in exchange for being deprived of rationality due to his madness, except for magic power and luck, the other parameters were basically A level, and his agility was even A+ level.

The Noble Phantasm he holds is also very powerful, and his true identity during his lifetime was Lancelot, the Knight of the Round Table. There is no doubt that he is a first-class Servant with very strong combat power.

But the problem is - the mana consumption is really too high, and Matou Kariya himself is not a normal magician, so it is very easy to fall off the chain at this link... Xia Ran cannot rest assured, so he can only strengthen it as much as possible .

The solution is also very simple. It is the magic potion he refined in the previous world. Although it is only elementary, the effect is very good... because he has accumulated a considerable amount, it can be used at this time.

There was nothing that could be done about it. If he directly asked Matou Kariya to transfer Berserker to him, Xia Ran would be worried about causing misunderstanding. After all, the former only has this bargaining chip in hand. They have just reached a united front and there is no need to provoke the other party.

After solving this matter, the next thing to do is to summon illegally, because magicians can summon servants, and Medea is indeed a magician, so she can indeed take advantage of the rules and summon a servant again. By.

When Xia Ran raised this matter as a matter of course, Medea's eyes were bright. Before she could say anything, this Master had already thought of this possibility?

But Matou Kariya had an embarrassed look on his face. Only then did he realize what the magician meant by the illegal summons... How could he still do it like this? In other words, when the Holy Grail War begins, their side will have three Servants?

Will this ruin the gaming experience for others?

However, Xia Ran didn't seem to care about other people's game experience. He just continued to discuss with Medea, and then prepared to let Medea strengthen himself——

The magic skills of the Goddess Witch are indeed very buggy. From a general magic point of view, "strengthening" is difficult to "project", and the most difficult thing among "strengthening" is to strengthen the human body.

But she was able to do it. In five battles, she strengthened the people's teacher's fists to the level of Noble Phantasms. With her own skills, even if she was a Servant as her opponent, she could still be on par with him at first sight. It was simply unbelievable. .

And now, Xia Ran felt that he could give it a try... because his own fighting power, apart from not having a Noble Phantasm, was not inferior to that of a Servant in terms of attributes, and even exceeded it in some aspects.

At least the foundation is stronger than that of people's teachers.

As for combat skills, if a series of magical abilities are not enough, he can also borrow the Ebony Blade to allow himself to display unparalleled combat abilities in long-edged weapons such as swords through the blessing and increase of the magic weapon.

Because neither of them believed it, Xia Ran simply brought Lancelot as a sparring partner. The result was that the power of the devil was very powerful. Once he picked up a long-edged weapon, his close combat ability was also unparalleled in the world.

Medea, who was originally opposed to it, couldn't help but be shocked, and happily said that if the master's ability is so powerful, then this plan is completely fine.

As for Matou Kariya beside him, he silently swallowed all the questions. In this way, strictly speaking, his side was actually calculated based on the super luxurious lineup of four Servants from the beginning. of?

There’s nothing more to say, what’s ruining other people’s gaming experience?

How to destroy something that never existed in the first place?
