Crossover Anime: Starting with a Simulated Online Game with the King

Although Irisviel always said that happiness, even for a moment, is better than eternal loneliness, who wouldn't want to enjoy happiness forever if they could?

Seeing Irisviel so forlorn, Lin Ye lowered his head and pondered for a moment before looking at her and saying...

"Your lifespan is actually not short, but because you are a Lesser Grail, as more and more Heroic Spirits die, your body will be unable to withstand the enormous magical power and will collapse."

“That’s right.” Irisviel nodded. It wasn’t a secret; many people knew it.

Seeing Irisviel nod, Lin Ye suddenly laughed, "In that case, wouldn't it be better to let fewer Heroic Spirits die?"

Chapter 100: Joan of Arc Descends!

"This...how is this possible?" Irisviel stared at Lin Ye in shock. Although she was touched by Lin Ye's promise to save her, how could it be possible to save a few Heroic Spirits?

"What's impossible?" Lin Ye smiled confidently. "The Holy Grail War is nothing more than a war where people fight for their dreams. But what if the Holy Grail can no longer grant wishes?"

The Greater Grail of Fuyuki City—everyone knows it's been corrupted for a long time. It's not that you can't make a wish with such a Grail, it's just that the way it grants wishes is rather unorthodox.

If someone wishes to become the most handsome man in the world, a normal Holy Grail would make that man the most handsome man in the world. However, a corrupted Holy Grail would kill all men who are more handsome than him.

It's not that their wish wasn't fulfilled, but this wasn't their original intention at all.

"Actually, the lifespan of an artificial human is quite good. As long as your body doesn't collapse due to the immense magic power, living to a hundred years old is naturally not a dream."

In Magical Girl Illya, Irisviel lived smoothly for ten years. In Fate/hollowataraxia, Sera and Lyselite (Illya's two homunculus maids) also said that their lifespan as homunculus is actually longer than that of normal humans.

Ilya died young because she suffered too much torment, while Sieg died young because he was originally intended to be a disposable tool when he was born.

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Irisviel's eyes revealed a longing for life. She had only just begun to experience the beauty of this world, and she didn't want to die like this.

"Is this...really possible?"

"Of course, don't worry. After this is over, I'll take a vacation too, and then we can go on a trip. We can go bungee jumping at the Grand Canyon, visit the ruins of Uruk in Babylon, and pay our respects at King Arthur's tomb. I'm sure Leah would love to see all of that..."

Lin Ye spoke slowly and deliberately, and Irisviel became more and more moved as she listened to his words, as if she were deeply attracted by the beautiful future he described.

then……

"We can also go to the Great Wall. I'll pick up a brick and see if I can use it as a relic to summon Zheng Ge..."

Before Lin Ye could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a fragrant breeze on his face, and then a soft body rushed into his arms. Lin Ye subconsciously hugged the other person.

“Irisviel, you…”

"Thank you, Lin Ye," Irisviel said softly. For the first time in her life, she felt the warmth of someone's kindness. Even if she ultimately couldn't escape her destiny and became the Holy Grail, at least she had someone who truly cared about her. This feeling of being cared for was wonderful.

At this moment, Lin Ye also felt Irisviel's excitement, so he said...

"Um...you're welcome."

After a long while, Irisviel quietly released her embrace from Lin Ye. Her pretty face flushed red, and she felt a little embarrassed by her boldness just now.

"I'll draw a magic circle for you."

After Irisviel finished speaking, she knelt down and began to help Lin Ye draw the unfinished magic circle. At that very moment, Artoria also emerged from the Einzbern Castle.

"My king, you're not asleep either."

"Lin Qing, heroic spirits don't need to sleep," the Queen said quietly. Then she came to Lin Ye's side, and Lin Ye heard a sentence...

"I have no interest in visiting my own grave."

Lin Ye...

Good grief, you've been eavesdropping the whole time.

"My king, eavesdropping on others is not the way of chivalry."

"I was just worried that Master would be attacked if she came out alone, so I was protecting her," the King argued firmly. She didn't dwell on the topic with Lin Ye any further; her gaze instead fell upon the magic circle in front of her.

"Lin Qing, are you ready to summon a Servant?"

“That’s right.” Lin Ye nodded.

"So, have you decided who to summon? If the summoned servant is not compatible with you, it may have the opposite effect. I feel that everyone in Great Britain should be able to do it."

My king's thinking is very simple: if Lin Ye can summon the Knights of the Round Table from Great Britain, it will definitely be of great help.

She did hear Lin Ye and Irisviel's conversation just now, and she had no objection to not wanting the Holy Grail.

Great Britain has become a Lostbelt, and she has also found Lin Ye. With Irisviel's magic power, she can be guaranteed to stay after the Holy Grail War ends, and that is enough.

Her desire for the Holy Grail was not that intense.

Hearing his king's words, Lin Ye silently took out the Saint Catherine Sword he had just acquired from the imaginary space and said to his king...

"Don't worry, I've already prepared the relics. As for compatibility... don't worry, I have many friends, it won't be a problem."

I have many friends...

Looking at Lin Ye in front of him, the King was speechless.

"You have quite a few friends. In the Holy Grail War, four out of the seven Servants were your friends."

"Actually, there are five. That mad dog... no, that Berserker, is actually Lancelot."

"What! Lord Lancelot!" The Queen's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Lin Ye before her, then exclaimed, "Are you telling the truth!"

"Of course it's true." Lin Ye looked at Wu Wang and said, "But don't worry, Lancelot is pretty tough. You guys didn't hit him too hard. He'll be fine."

My King...

The attack wasn't heavy; the ultimate moves of three Heroic Spirits were indeed not heavy...

However, Lord Lancelot? It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to deal with him.

"finished!"

Irisviel rose and looked at Lin Ye, indicating that she had completed the magic circle for summoning the Heroic Spirit. Lin Ye nodded gratefully to Irisviel, then placed the Sword of Saint Catherine directly in the center of the magic circle, and raised his hand, saying...

"Be full, be full, and the cycle will repeat itself, then five..."

boom!

A bright light began to burst forth from the magic circle, and then Lin Ye felt a large amount of his magic power being drained away. However, this amount of magic power was nothing to Lin Ye.

"...You are bound by the three great incantations for seven days, coming from the Wheel of Restraint, guardian of the scales!"

hum!

As Lin Ye finished chanting, a figure appeared directly in the center of the magic circle.

Wearing a purple battle suit and silver armor, the iris banner in her hand fluttered in the wind, and the sword of Saint Catherine was already sheathed at her waist.

At that moment, she finally opened her eyes. The instant she saw Lin Ye, her body trembled violently. After a long while, she spoke in a slightly trembling voice.

“Servant, Ruler, Jeanne d'Arc, it’s so good to meet you… Lin Ye.”

Chapter 101 Giles, You've Really Mistaken Yourself

"Hello, Miss Joan of Arc, please have some tea."

In the main hall of Eindzbern Castle, Irisviel, as the hostess, naturally gave Joan of Arc a warm welcome, and Joan of Arc smiled and said to Irisviel...

"Thank you."

However, although Joan of Arc expressed her gratitude to Irisviel, her gaze remained fixed on Lin Ye.

"Joan of Arc, why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Ye asked, puzzled.

“This… I thought you were a god, a devil, an elf, but I never imagined you were actually a human,” Joan of Arc explained.

She still couldn't believe it.

After she died, she became a heroic spirit. She originally thought she would never see Lin Ye again, since no one knew anything about Lin Ye except herself. However, Lin Ye once again showed her just how amazing he was.

The strength he displayed when he was a sword spirit was just the tip of the iceberg.

Seeing Joan of Arc's astonishment, Lin Ye smiled and said...

"I'm a person, are you disappointed in me?"

"No, I'm very fortunate."

She was thankful, thankful that Lin Ye was human, so that he was able to pull her out of the Hall of Heroes.

Watching the two chatting, Irisviel finally couldn't help but ask...

"Um, could we stop reminiscing here for now? I'd like to ask, Joan of Arc, you and King Arthur shouldn't be related by blood, right? But why do you look so alike?"

On one side, Irisviel finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

She looked at Joan of Arc, then at the King, then at Joan of Arc again.

Goodness, the two are at least 90% similar. However, even though they are 90% similar, their temperaments are still different, so Irisviel wouldn't get them confused.

"This..." Joan of Arc was also somewhat bewildered. She didn't know how to explain it for a moment. She could only look at the King and say, "This is actually quite different. Look, Irisviel, you didn't confuse us, did you?"

“Of course.” Irisviel smiled confidently. “You and Saber may look alike, but that’s all. Only a fool would confuse you two.”

Our king nodded in agreement. "That's right. How could anyone in this world not be able to tell us apart?"

"This..." Lin Ye was momentarily at a loss for words. Who said no one can't tell you apart?

Gilles de Rais! Isn't that guy face-blind? At least Lin Ye felt he could tell them apart.
