They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

Later, General Wang personally led Fengjian Liuli into the Ghost Clan and called him the second-in-command of the Ghost Clan, "Dragon King". In fact, he wanted to use Fengjian Liuli's powerful demon-like strength to better rule and control the Ghost Clan organization.

Feng Jianli was certainly unwilling to become a puppet of the king's power. Within this organization that was increasingly obsessed with and radically pursuing the path to becoming a god, he began to carefully select and cultivate his own faction.

However, despite his best efforts, Ruri Kazama was only able to win over a small number of the remaining members of the Oni Clan who dared to oppose the radicals to join his faction.

In order to change the situation, he had tried to assassinate Wang Jiang many times, but he had never succeeded. Instead, he was repeatedly frustrated. He wanted to break Wang Jiang's neck, destroy his internal organs, or cut him into pieces...

All measures were ineffective.

The next day, Wang Jiang will still appear in front of Feng Jian Liuli intact, making him shudder...

The figure of the evil ghost wearing a Noh mask seemed to be beyond the reach of even hell, and he would always be resurrected and reborn. That smiling face of the nobleman almost became an indelible nightmare in Ruri Kazama's heart.

From then on, a sense of doubt and fear of "not being able to kill" General Wang was deeply implanted in Fengjian Liuli's mind and could not be eliminated.

"What? Someone in your organization is actually pursuing God?"

When Emiya was talking to Minamoto no Chisei before, he also warned him that there were people coveting God in Japan, but in fact, it was just an excuse for him to drag the Minamoto family into the water in order to investigate the people behind the Holy Grail War.

I didn't expect the information about this group to be delivered directly to my door. Good guy, it's really like searching for something without any effort, but it was finally found.

"Kazama Ruri, let me guess, is the leader of the group you mentioned always wearing a mask?"

"Hmm? Right..."

Ruri Kazama subconsciously confirmed it, and then an incredible expression appeared on her face. What was going on? Why did Emiya know that the king would wear a mask? Could it be that Emiya and the king had had contact beforehand?

No, that's not right. If the King knew about Emiya's act of killing "Odin", if he had a normal IQ, he would definitely classify Emiya as a "Dragon Slayer Faction" similar to the Secret Party. As someone who is pursuing godhood, he would not contact Emiya without permission, as he might hinder his plans.

Alternatively, they could attempt to assassinate Emiya, but Emiya possessed a formidable strength that rivaled the mighty Dragon King. If the general truly had the confidence to kill the Dragon King, why would he be so greedy and cautious in his pursuit of "God"? Therefore, assassination was a futile attempt, a joke...

"Let me guess again. You weren't able to eliminate the radical God-seeking faction within your group of demons because you couldn't kill that masked man?"

"!?"

Kazama Ruri leaped up from the swivel chair in front of the dressing table. As a veteran Kabuki actor, he normally had excellent control over his facial expressions, but now he felt like he was in a state of panic, his heart akin to a turbulent sea.

This scene is so similar to the conversation between Emiya and Minamoto no Chisei...

"Emiya, how do you know all this? Judging from your behavior just now, this should be our organization's first contact with you."

Ruri Kazama suppressed her surprise and asked - when he stood up, he was not as tall as Emiya. In front of the latter, he looked like a handsome younger brother from a distance. No wonder he was good at pretending to be a girl.

But Kazama Ruri stared at the details of Emiya's face, his pupils trembling uneasily. He didn't believe that Wang Jiang would make any mistakes and leak information to Emiya. Otherwise, if it was really that easy to deal with him, Wang Jiang should have been killed long ago.

"So, Kazama Ruri, you just admitted that I was right, right?"

"Yes, as expected of Emiya, the god-killer. Both his combat prowess and intelligence network are astonishing. Even I lost my composure a bit. My apologies."

Fengjian Liuli lowered her eyes calmly again and gathered the scattered emotions into her heart.

In fact, Emiya had never expected that the statement he had forced upon her was actually true.

Since Fengjian Liuli admitted it, there is indeed such a masked man among the ghosts who aims to become a god, and the technology possessed by the masked man is similar to that of "Odin" who appeared in the Chen family at that time.

This means that the "Greater Holy Grail" project may really be carried out somewhere in this city, and the material serving as the core of the Greater Holy Grail is "God"!

"Listen to me, Fengjian Liuli, that masked man is not as simple as you think, but there is no need to think of him as too scary."

"What does it mean?"

The boy wondered whether the king was easy to deal with or difficult to deal with.

"Let me put it this way. I've fought similar masked individuals before in Shenzhou. From your description, it seems this group uses exactly the same techniques. I can tell you clearly that you didn't kill him, but he hid his true form, allowing him to resurface over and over again."

This is actually pretty easy to understand. Just like the old bug, Zouken Matou, if you don't kill the original Crest Bug, your body will naturally regenerate. A magician might be strong or weak in combat, but they're usually very good at staying alive.

“…It’s actually like this!”

Fengjian Liuli suddenly realized.

Before this, he had also thought about the possibility of differences between clones and the originals.

But when he discovered that the general Wang, whom he had killed the day before, and the general Wang, who reappeared the next day, had exactly the same personalities, words, and behaviors.

Even after careful testing and comparison, when there was no difference in the details of the memories between the two, I subconsciously ruled out the possibility of cloning.

But Emiya actually said that a similar situation had occurred in Shenzhou. His position was completely opposite to that of the King General, so there was obviously no need to deliberately deceive him, so Fengjian Liuli couldn't help but think about the possibility of cloning again.

In other words, someone has developed cloning technology to such a perfect level and promoted it, forming a cloning technology that can be used like "cloning technique", rather than a "demon" phenomenon that only occurs by chance.

This is good news. The king general is not invincible because he is not immortal at all. He is just a coward who hides his true identity. He is not worth Fengjian Liuli's fear at all.

However, it seems that Emiya also revealed a piece of bad news——

"Emiya-kun, the appearance of the same technology in two different countries, Shenzhou and Dongying, can't be a coincidence, right? Is there a more hidden force making plans in different countries? And the King General is just a pawn in this country?"

Facing Emiya, who had resolved the confusion in his heart during the conversation, Kazama Ruri's tone began to become intimate, and she inadvertently called him "Jun".

Moreover, ever since he had gotten rid of the fear of Wang Jiang in his mind, his mind had suddenly become more open. It turned out that Wang Jiang was just a clown pushed onto the stage, and behind the clown was hidden an even greater darkness...

"Yes, let me tell you this. I've fought against that group of people more than once since I was in Shenzhou. This time in Japan should be the third time. I have now discovered their purpose. The only thing missing is two things."

One is the mystery of Aoi-ya, which Gen Chisei has already arranged. The other one...

"What is it?"

Ruri Kazama asked immediately. He had just happened to meet Emiya today, but he didn't expect to gain so much. Not only did he know the truth about the king's "strange immortality", but he also learned that his origins hid a greater dark mystery.

Since Emiya has given so much to her, Kazama Ruri is willing to repay him. Helping Emiya is helping herself, which can allow her to break away from the king's control as soon as possible and truly kill the other party.

At the same time, he also fulfilled his long-cherished wish, which was to fight his brother... Gen Chisheng again!

Because Kazama Ruri is Minamoto no Chisei's younger brother, Minamoto no Chijo. But unlike his weak younger brother, Minamoto no Chijo, he has a more aggressive second personality, like a demon!

Beneath Fengjian Liuli's seemingly calm face, his mind kept replaying the scene of that day when Yuan Zhisheng, dressed in the black uniform of the Execution Bureau, stabbed his chest with a knife and spun it around, completely destroying his heart. This scene made the hatred in his heart continue to grow deeper and deeper.

Facing the killing of Minamoto Chisei that day, Ruri Kazama had the opportunity to resist, and even kill Minamoto Chisei on the spot, but her personality was suppressed by Minamoto Chisei's female personality at the critical moment.

When Gen Chinu saw her brother Gen Chisheng appear in front of her, she didn't even resist and couldn't wait to shout, "Brother, you're back!"

The result was that he allowed the long knife to pierce his heart, and then was pushed into the well behind him by his brother, the demon-killing man.

However, the demon's bloodline was so strong that even if its heart was destroyed, it could be repaired and regenerated. Thus, Feng Jianli was revived again and crawled back from hell.

From the day he was resurrected, Feng Jianli swore that he would make his brother taste the hatred and anger of being killed with his own hands!

"Under these circumstances, the only two things we lack are: first, the results are almost out, and second, confirming the true nature of 'God.' This is where I need your help."

Emiya's tone of voice was so serious that it made Fengjian Liuli's heart tremble. Could it be that he wanted to use him as bait and lead his troops to attack the eight families of Sheqi, so as to plunder out all the ancient records hidden in the family?

But he gave a completely wrong answer: "——I need you to teach me some makeup skills!"

Although the topic deviated greatly when looking for Ruri Kazama, Emiya still did not forget the purpose of his visit. Nono is still in that family. In order to ensure a safer situation, he has to find a way to make Nono become exactly the same as Eri.

Emiya has seen the superb makeup skills of Ruri Kazama, so he can do it!

"what?"

When Feng Jianli heard this, it was like a warrior in full armor hearing a formal summons. He had originally prepared to offer his loyalty and fight to the death for his lord in times of crisis, but in the end, he heard the lord lying in the upper seat issue not an order to charge, but the rather unconventional "Keep playing the music! Keep dancing!"

No, that's it?

Chapter 147: White King? Black Holy Grail!

"Hey! I'm almost dying of exhaustion. Fenrir, come and give me a hand!"

In the vast cavern beneath Tokyo, Xia Mi was still busy arranging the earth veins... No, actually, she was only one step away from completing the task...

That is to say, it is ready to receive the Holy Grail sent by Norton, and place it at the core position of the entire earth vein flow for precise connection. In this way, the orderly circulation of the super-giant alchemy array covering the entire Tokyo is completed.

But the difficulty of completing this final step of preparation was comparable to an ant leaping over a chasm, like Kennedy being shot seven times in the back while in a convertible and surviving a blast in the head, like Odin abandoning his Valhalla and becoming a playboy, wandering the world until Ragnarok...

Xia Mi knew that if she continued like this, she would be busy to death, so she called Fenrir through Norton, who had been hiding in the old Black Stone subway station Nibelungen in Shenzhou, spending his time watching TV and eating potato chips.

Xia Mi felt heartbroken for Fenrir who had wasted his time for so long!

Yes! It’s heartache.

When Xia Mi thought about how she was wandering around and struggling, while her silly brother was doing nothing in the Nibelungen, and even picked up a few bottle caps to gamble with the sickle-weasel creatures in the Nibelungen, she felt pain and regret from the bottom of her heart.

She had always forgotten one thing, which was that she had not let Fenrir escape from his otaku life and go out into the outside world as soon as possible to become a useful dragon, so that she still mistakenly called her younger sister "sister"!

Even if I'm mentally retarded, so what? Born to be useful, even if I lose all my money, I'll make it back. So what if I help my sister share a little of the pressure of life?

But Fenrir, who heard Shami's order—

This enormous dragon, tens of meters long and taller than a building when standing, curled up in the cave. It mobilized its muscular body and extended its claws, which could easily tear through steel, occupying a huge corner of the vast cavern. It opened its abyssal maw, deep enough to swallow a large van, and uttered words that, to ordinary people, were as majestic and powerful as thunder:

"Report to my sister! I can't understand!"

His voice was low and deep, revealing a hint of grievance. When his huge dragon eyes, as bright as copper lamps, blinked, there was a clear stupidity in them, as if Fenrir in front of him was not a dragon, but a large pug wagging its tail and begging for mercy in front of its master.

The giant dragon Fenrir lightly grasped a palm-sized paper booklet with the tip of his dragon claws and read it carefully and blankly with his huge golden dragon eyes... On it was the "Preliminary Preparations, Startup Steps and Operational Precautions for the Holy Grail Alchemy Array" with dense and large amounts of text annotated by Norton.

This seemingly small booklet is actually a large volume of instructions. To Fenrir, who has the IQ of an elementary school student, it is like an obscure and difficult book.

The words could only lightly pass through Fenrir's new and unused brain, and were quickly forgotten after he read them.

"Don't understand? That's right!"

"what?"

"Watch me carefully and learn from me! Fenrir, look at how hard I've worked. Don't you understand my good intentions? This is all for your own good. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just work hard and make progress! These are all things you'll need to take exams on later! Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best!"

Xia Mi thought about the unexpected situations that might happen in the Holy Grail War in the days to come, which might become even more difficult to endure. It would be impossible for her to keep an eye on it all by herself, so Fenrir had to be of some use.

"Yes, my sister said to go east, and I will never go west!"

Although Fenrir could not understand these written books, he knew that his sister had been in a bad mood recently. He was very sensitive to this. If he did not show obedience at this time, he would definitely suffer a stormy criticism and education from his sister, which would make him feel overwhelmed.

So no matter what his sister said in this state, Fenrir just needed to keep agreeing with her.

"very good!"

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Mi finally spoke, her preparations finally complete. However, as soon as she finished speaking, Fenrir felt a sense of relief and joy, ready to turn back and turn on his beloved Panasonic high-definition color TV.

The TV was a new one his sister had bought with her part-time job money, much to his dismay. Since the signal was poor in the underground cavity, he was playing pre-recorded tapes. Fenrir used this small appliance to watch the popular Japanese drama "Life is Beautiful." With the flick of a button, the handsome face of lead actor Kimura Takuya popped out from the luminous screen...

Not bad! Fenrir nodded secretly. It was indeed the casting choice for a national-level film and television drama in the human world. This human was just as handsome as Chow Yun-fat, who starred in God of Gamblers, a role he had admired over and over again before!

"I wasn't talking about you when I said everything was fine! Turn it off and turn it back on!"

The light of the small color TV was ruthlessly turned off. Fenrir drooped his dragon face with a bitter look on his face. He turned around and was forced to watch Xia Mi's long-distance communication with Norton who was thousands of miles away.

Norton, who was inside the Mercury Curtain, automatically ignored Fenrir, who was slumped in the corner like a pug, and asked Xia Mi directly, "I'm going to teleport the Holy Grail here. Have you finished drawing the alchemy array?"

"Everything is done. You should teleport now. The next summon of 'Attila's' Heroic Spirit is waiting!"

Xia Mi moved aside. A large open space next to Fenrir was painted with intricate and complex symbols and lines. These symbols and lines seemed alive, constantly flowing and changing, like flowing bands of light, constantly transporting and circulating the elements surging within the earth in the form of energy.

The core of the vast elemental circulation system is where the Greater Holy Grail is urgently embedded. The magical power of the entire alchemical matrix circulates across the city's veins, like the powerful beating heart and blood flow within a giant...

Therefore, it can be easily seen that this is a giant magic circuit. Norton has adapted the human body's alchemical matrix "magic circuit" to the natural environment, forming a high-quality earth vein system that can automatically accumulate magic power while maintaining the vitality of the environment.

"Well done! It seems you've performed your basic duties as the King of Earth and Mountain well," Norton commented indifferently. "The next key point is the Greater Holy Grail. Pay attention! After I deliver the Greater Holy Grail, you may need to be extra cautious."

"what?"

"Frigga Zero (the container of the White King's soul) has been further processed by me. To create a vest for you and to prepare for the Holy Grail War, connections to the Throne of Heroes are becoming more frequent. This requires the channeling of more of the White King's soul power, so the container's seal may be unstable... I've done my best, but I can't guarantee that there won't be any accidents."

"...So?" Xia Mi secretly shuddered, thinking to herself, could it be that we are the ones who are supposed to solve this big problem?

Norton also knew that relying on the two kings of the earth and the mountain to solve the problem was unrealistic. "So there is a stupid way. That is to find other reliable people to guard the Holy Grail 24 hours a day to prevent any unusual movements."

"Oh, that's easy!" Xia Mi nodded in agreement, but there was no way she could be the guard. As for Fenrir, he was idle anyway, so why not just let him guard here every day?

Then, Norton finally and slowly brought the Greater Holy Grail over. The spatial fluctuations flashed with a blurry light and shadow, like a dazzling gem slowly embedding into the regularly pulsating heart of the earth. The whole process lasted for dozens of minutes...

This made Xia Mi so anxious that she was scratching her head and feeling uneasy. She was waiting to put on the handsome "Attila" vest and make a shining appearance to give the whole world a little "heroic shock"!

After waiting for Norton to finally confirm that the work was completed, Xia Mi couldn't wait to ask, "Is it done?"

"No, there's one more thing!" Norton's tone was so anxious that it was almost fatal.

“…What’s the matter?”

"You still remember the unexpected situation that occurred when Melyuchina was first summoned. That human girl 'Nono,' the White King's vessel experiment, summoned the Heroic Spirit before her."

"What!" Xia Mi's eyes widened in disbelief. "You mean my account could be stolen? You did it once, and you did it again? How shameless are you?"

"No, I've set up specific restrictions. Now there won't be any situations where Heroic Spirits are summoned first, even if a 'new Nono' appears."

"So what are you worried about?"

"If a 'new Nono' appears, while the Heroic Spirit won't be snatched away, if the seal of the Greater Holy Grail is loosened in any way, I'm afraid this creature will seize the opportunity to escape, find a new vessel, and take advantage of the Holy Grail War to stir up trouble and attempt a revival."
