My fiancée Yukino

Upon seeing this, Rin walked over and unleashed a powerful Eight Extremes Collapse, slamming the two magical puppets against the wall.

"The intensity isn't too high, so I can try out the new moves I've learned."

After muttering something under her breath, Rin took out her wand, gathered her magic power, and, to the astonishment of Reines and Luvia, fired a series of pale red magic bullets, shattering a magic doll to pieces.

Then, with a flick of the wand, it controlled a severed limb of a doll, transforming it into a magnificent longsword that floated in the air. It swiftly weaved through the pile of dolls, piercing through them one by one.

Reines' eyes lit up as she said, "The magical composition of the magic bullet is very special, unlike anything I know. And this magic that transforms matter, what is it, alchemy?"

At the same time, attention was also drawn to Medea.

Medea noticed this and smiled, saying, "It wasn't me, it was someone else who taught you."

These words made Reines even more curious.

Finally, with all the defensive magic puppets dealt with, everyone arrived at the sculpture representing the core of the magic.

Volume 1: Chapter 609 The Deal (1/2)

He took out a test tube he carried with him, poured out the silver liquid inside, and a silver doll dressed in a maid outfit was formed.

It was the El-Melloi family's supreme Mystic Code, the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid. The one Reines inherited was also made by the previous monarch, Kenneth, and after her own improvements, it gained a certain degree of artificial intelligence, becoming her familiar.

"Trimmau, destroy this thing."

"Yes, Master."

The silver familiar named Trimmau transformed its hands into two hammers, and with a gentle swing, destroyed the core statue of the spell in front of it.

The moment the core was destroyed, the barrier disappeared, and everything returned to its original state.

"It's finally recovered."

Luvia breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was her own mistake that caused this result, but fortunately it only went this far and did not cause any harm.

As for the destroyed spell core, Luvia wasn't bothered at all; the amount of money was nothing to her.

With a flick of her hair and a quick put-back shawl, Luvia smiled and said, "Things are settled. Now, let's go to my reception room for something to eat. Miss Tohsaka, didn't you say there was a deal? We can talk about it then."

"Of course, it's a very important deal."

Then, everyone went to the mall's meeting room, where a batch of parfaits and various snacks were quickly delivered.

Upon seeing the food, Artoria's eyes immediately lit up. After receiving permission from Luo Bai, she picked up the parfait in front of her and happily began to eat.

Grey sat down next to Artoria, watching her actions in surprise.

In her mind, she thought King Arthur would be a very serious person, but she never expected him to be such a foodie.

After swallowing a mouthful of cold ice cream, Artoria looked at Gray and asked, "Aren't you going to eat? They'll probably talk for a while longer; they have a lot to do. Let's eat and talk at the same time. I'm quite interested in knowing about you all these years."

Yad, who was placed on the table, also spoke up: "Grey, don't be afraid, just say what you want to say. If what King Arthur said before is true, then she definitely doesn't need to return to the Throne of Heroes. She is indeed a Heroic Spirit walking among mortals. This is your biggest backer besides that brat Waver. If you put her in the Clock Tower, or even in England, anyone with a brain wouldn't underestimate you after they find out. King Arthur, don't mind giving this silly girl some protection, right? To be honest, relying on that guy Waver alone is a bit unreliable, mainly because his strength isn't that great."

Artoria smiled and said, "Isn't it enough with you here? Even if it's not a deeper level of liberation, it should be enough to deal with ordinary enemies, unless it's against high-ranking Servants, Dead Apostles, or mages with special abilities."

"Haha, that's true, but we should still avoid using it if possible. Grey is still young and can't control herself."

“That’s true.” After thinking for a moment, Artoria leaned close to Gray’s ear and whispered, “I’ll give you something to contact me later. Don’t let anyone else know. If you encounter something you can’t solve, don’t hesitate to contact me directly.”

After saying that, he also ruffled Grey's gray hair.

Feeling Artoria's closeness to her, Gray felt a warm glow in her heart.

"What? You're serious?"

At that moment, Luvia's surprised voice rang out. Gray looked over and saw Luvia stand up abruptly, looking at Rin opposite her and saying, "You're going to sell me all the Tohsaka family's magic research data? Are you crazy?"

With her arms crossed, Rin calmly said, "Of course it's true. I wouldn't lie to you about something like this. It's just research data anyway, selling you a copy isn't out of the question. You happen to have money, and I do need some. Compared to other magician families, the Edfeld family, who also research jewel magic, makes me feel more at ease. Maybe combining the research of the two families can take your jewel magic to the next level? Anyway, it's not like I'm selling you my magic inscription, so it's not a big loss for me."

After taking several deep breaths, Luvia finally sat down and looked at Rin with a serious expression, saying, "Are you really going to sell?"

"of course."

Rin nodded, then took out a piece of paper from her small bag. It contained some research information about the Tohsaka family's gem magic, and handed it directly to Luvia.

Luvia took it and saw that what was written on it was all true, and that it was a research direction different from the gem magic of the Edfeld family.

After a quick glance, Luvia swallowed hard and looked at Rin, saying, "Wait a moment, I need to..."

Go make a call and talk to your family about this. Let me ask first, you don't plan to trade with anyone else, do you?

“I didn’t have any before I came to you. If you’re not going to trade, then I’ll have to look for someone else.” Rin said with a smile. “Of course, if you want to buy, I only accept gold, and you’ll have to sign a contract promising not to pass these things on to anyone outside the Edfeldt family, and not to tell anyone. And Miss Reines here, as someone present, I hope you can help keep this a secret.”

Reines took a sip of her coffee and said with a smile, "Of course, I wouldn't just tell anyone about something this interesting."

Then, Luvia went out to make a phone call, and she talked for fifteen minutes straight.

In the reception room, Artoria looked carefree, happily eating parfaits and various snacks.

Reines rested her chin on her hand and said with great interest, "I really never would have guessed that the girl over here, happily eating her dessert, would be the legendary King Arthur."

After eating a macaron, Artoria wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, "In my time, food was a very important resource. Even as a king, I often didn't have enough to eat. Just being able to eat my fill was good enough. Now that I'm here, food is something that satisfies me a lot, and I really want to try as many different kinds of food as possible."

"Camelot, the end of the Age of Gods, that era was indeed very interesting."

Reines smiled as she looked at Artoria, then at Gray, who bore a striking resemblance to her, and seemed lost in thought.

She didn't know what her sworn brother's feelings were when he brought Grey back and took her as his disciple.

Well, it seems that he doesn't harbor any hatred towards King Arthur now.

Gray looked at Artoria with curiosity.

"Your Majesty, what kind of Servant is Iskandar? My master has been following in his footsteps ever since."

"Iskander..."

This name reminded Artoria of the Holy Grail War ten years ago.

Volume 1: Chapter 610 The Truth About the Holy Grail (2/2)

As one of the rare Servants summoned in two consecutive Holy Grail Wars, Artoria retains the memories of the last Holy Grail War.

Based on her several face-to-face encounters with Iskandar, Artoria revealed everything she knew.

Although it wasn't the whole story, and included some of Artoria's own subjective observations and experiences, Gray gained some understanding of Iskandar's personality traits after listening to it.

"So this is Iskandar, the Conqueror. I think I understand now why my master chose to become his subject and follow him."

Artoria nodded in agreement: "Even I have to admit that the Conqueror King is indeed an exceptionally outstanding ruler."

Rin took a bite of cake and said, "In comparison, Gilgamesh is like a madman with no intelligence."

"Oh? Gilgamesh, the oldest king of mankind?"

Reines seemed quite interested in Gilgamesh, and said with a smile, "I heard from my sworn brother that Iskandar was defeated by Gilgamesh, and that Gilgamesh spared his life after his defeat, right?"

Artoria nodded: "The Holy Grail in Fuyuki suffered some mishaps and was corrupted after the Third Shinobi World War. Although it still possesses the ability to grant wishes, it does so in the most malicious way. For example, if you wish for world peace, the Holy Grail will choose to annihilate all of humanity. Without humanity, the world will naturally be at peace. Ten years ago, Kiritsugu ordered me to destroy the Holy Grail, but the black mud within it, containing all the evil of this world, was still summoned, causing immense destruction and casualties in Fuyuki City. Gilgamesh, after being washed away by the black mud, unexpectedly gained a physical body and remained in this world, staying in Fuyuki until now."

"The Servant gains a physical body...all the evil of this world..."

Hearing this information, Reines frowned. "It seems there are many secrets about the Holy Grail War that we don't know. I wonder if the Mage's Association knows about these things, or perhaps they do but have chosen to keep them hidden..."

Reines immediately stopped thinking, feeling that if she continued, something bad would happen.

Seeing her expression, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, these things are mostly unrelated to the Mage's Association. It was Kirei Kotomine, the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, who covered it up. Back then, he was the one who plotted against and killed his master, Rin's father, Tokiomi Tohsaka. But now, both he and Gilgamesh have been dealt with by us. By the way, there's something I wanted to ask you. Has Bazett returned to the Mage's Association?"

"Bazett? Bazett Fraga Macremis? If I'm not mistaken, she should have qualified for the Holy Grail War. Have you seen her?"

Regarding the burning of humanity, Luo Bai and the others chose not to speak of it. Luo Bai nodded and said, "That's right, but because of the Holy Grail, we didn't fight. After destroying the Holy Grail, we haven't seen her in Fuyuki, so I wanted to ask you about it."

"I understand. I was also a little curious, so I'll ask for you."

Then, Reines took out her phone and sent a message.

Just then, Luvia returned, a smile of excitement on her face.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. The deal has been approved. So, Ms. Tohsaka, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

Snapping her fingers, Rin said happily, "It's a deal, I want money, not gold. As for the price..."

Regarding the price, Rin had discussed it with Luo Bai before coming, so she directly quoted a price that was 30% higher than expected.

Upon hearing the price, Luvia raised an eyebrow: "It's a bit high, but still within our acceptable range. If everything is settled, we can prepare the contract. Do you have all the necessary documents with you?"

“I took some with me, and left the rest in Fuyuki. You can come back with me to get it.”

"I understand, that's no problem at all."

Luvia said with satisfaction, "Then, let's each take responsibility for a part of the contract, and come here again at this time tomorrow to sign it, shall we?"

"can."

Rin stood up, smiled, and shook hands with Luvia.

When their hands touched, Rin felt a tremendous force coming from the other person's hand and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

It seems they want to have a competition.

Rin wasn't angry; she still had a smile on her face, but she began to slowly increase the force in her hands, while also using the breathing technique she had just learned from Luo Bai.

Because she was already learning martial arts, and specifically the highly lethal Bajiquan, Rin quickly mastered the breathing technique and had already made a basic grasp of it.

He truly lives up to his title of "Devilish Muscle Rin".

The next second, Luvia, who was still feeling smug, felt a sharp pain in her hand and her eyes widened in surprise.

Looking down, I found that there were no traces of magic circuits on Rin's hands, which I found very puzzling.

In her mind, Rin's strength was at most similar to her own, but the pain in her hand was telling her that she wasn't Rin's equal in terms of power.

opponent!

With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, Luvia looked at Rin, who was smiling and watching her, and said with some difficulty, "Hmph, not bad strength."

Rin narrowed her eyes: "Thank you for the compliment, that's enough for now."

After saying that, he took the initiative to let go of her hand.

Freed from her predicament, Luvia shook her aching right hand and looked at Rin, asking, "You, your arms are thinner than mine, how did you develop such strength?"

Rin said smugly, "How about that? Pretty impressive, right? It was Luo-jun who taught me~~"

"Really?"

Luvia looked at Luo Bai with curiosity. This was the only male present who had never shown much initiative. The only thing she knew was that he was King Arthur's Master and had a good relationship with King Arthur. She knew nothing else.

Meanwhile, Luo Bai was fighting with Artoria for the last small sandwich. Each of them held a fork and were fighting at a speed that Luvia and Reines couldn't see, while they kept talking.

"Artoria, you've had quite a bit of afternoon tea already, it's time to give this to me, your Master!"

Artoria, however, did not back down at all. She deflected Luo Bai's attack with a fork and stared intently at the sandwich in front of her, saying, "No, you've already eaten three pieces of the sandwich, and I've only eaten one. I've eaten so much sweet food, I need to eat something salty to balance the flavors!"

Just as the two were arguing, a black hole appeared beneath the plate holding the sandwiches, absorbing the sandwiches and the plate together.

The next second, the item appeared in Eruma's hand. She gently picked up the sandwich and took a bite.

"Mmm! It's so delicious!"

"..."x2

Volume 1: Chapter 611 Unexpected Visitor (1/2)

Neither Lobo nor Artoria expected that the sandwich would be stolen by Elma like this.

After hesitating for a while, Artoria put down her fork and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "Let's go out and see if there's anything else good to eat."

Luo Bai nodded, and after finishing her sandwich, Elma happily raised her hand: "Agreed, let's go explore the surrounding area!"

Luvia smiled and looked at the group: "Gentlemen, would you like to take a stroll in my shopping mall? It's one of the top shopping malls in London. I've renovated it since I took over and added many big-name brands. I'm sure you'll find something you're interested in."

Luo Bai had no objections; it was mainly up to the girls present.

"What do you think?"

Rin nodded: "Sure, I'm quite interested in this place. I was also thinking of buying some clothes, so let's go shopping together. If you want to find something to eat, Artoria, you don't have to come with us."

Artoria rubbed her stomach and said, "It's nothing serious. Let's explore this place first. We entered the barrier as soon as we came in, so we haven't had a chance to properly explore this place yet."

So, the plan to go out for food was postponed, and everyone went shopping together in the mall.

As soon as he stepped out of the meeting room, Luo Bai stopped in his tracks, looked through the floor towards the first floor of the mall, and squinted.
