My fiancée Yukino

Gilgamesh asked the final question, looking at Lobai.

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Of course, since those who were captured are all safe and sound, and the people of Ur City are also safe, then these two gods are people we can win over. Moreover, the leopard people are led by Quetzal Koyatell, so as long as we win Quetzal Koyatell over, the leopard people will naturally be on our side. The Three Goddess Alliance is naturally not a concern, we just need to be careful about the subsequent crises."

Gilgamesh was very satisfied and waved his hand, saying, "The situation on the demonic beast front is also good. We have successfully defended against several waves of demonic beast attacks. Shirou Emiya has returned to rest, and you will see him later. Rest for two days, and then go find the leopard people and Quetzalcoatl. Whether you win them out and bring them back, or try to win them over with words, you must bring them to the Uruk camp!"

After the report was completed, everyone left the palace. Gilgamesh still had other work to do, so he didn't talk to them much.

However, Siduri still came out with everyone and personally arranged a sumptuous lunch for them.

At lunchtime, Medea, who had been staying in Uruk, also returned.

The improvements to the position have reached their final stage and will be completed today.

After finishing their meal, and after learning about Quetzalcoatl, a Heroic Spirit of god-like status, Medea looked at Lobe and asked, "So, are you planning to call Lucoa over? Quetzalcoatl is also considered a feathered serpent god, right? The two of them should be roughly equal in existence?"

Luo Bai nodded: "The names are the same, but their status is somewhat different. Quetzalcoatl here is a god, while Lucoa over there is a level higher than a god, a creator god and a supreme god, having risen to the level of a rule. Therefore, she mainly observes and supervises most of the time and cannot participate in combat. However, after some of the suppressive force from the Type-Moon world has arrived, her responsibilities have lessened, and coming here isn't out of the question. I'll contact her later and see what Lucoa herself thinks."

It would be quite interesting to have Lucoa and Quetzalcoatl meet.

Volume 1: Chapter 645 The Coming Battle (1/2)

In the afternoon, a very energetic Mash came to find Artoria again to ask her about combat. Ushiwakamaru followed along, and the three of them went to the training ground together.

Luo Bai didn't go with them, but instead stayed home leisurely drinking tea with Mei Lin.

Gently scratching Fou's chin, making the little guy squint his eyes comfortably, Luo Bai looked at Merlin sitting opposite him and asked, "You noticed it, didn't you? There's a guy slowly approaching Uruk, and he's very strong."

Merlin smiled and nodded: "Of course, it's not just me. King Gilgamesh should have seen it too. It's better for him to handle this matter. It's not appropriate for us to interfere."

Merlin's clairvoyance isn't as strong as Gilgamesh's; while it can foresee the future, it can still see Heroic Spirits that have already appeared.

Luo Bai rubbed his temples and said, "Because of my arrival, the future seems to have taken a significant turn. Even my newly acquired clairvoyance can't see much anymore. Or is it because there's too much interference? Tiamat and such are indeed not so easy to observe."

Luo Bai had already acquired the ability to foresee the future long before, but at that time he couldn't control the ability at will.

However, nowadays, he can see almost anything that isn't too distant or outrageous.

However, to add more unknowns and fun to life, Luo Bai would not actively use these abilities unless he came to a singularity.

With his chin resting on his hand, Merlin looked at Luo Bai with interest and said, "Luo-kun, your clairvoyance, could it also be EX level?"

"It hasn't reached that point yet, but it shouldn't be far off. What Gilgamesh can see, I can see to some extent as well. Otherwise, do you think our communication would be so easy?"

"Yes, that's true."

After taking a sip of tea, Merlin said happily, "It can be said that with your participation in this singularity, although the enemy is very strong, it is still much easier and gives people a great sense of security! If Wang had been there in the sixth singularity last time, it might have been much simpler."

"No, I feel it will be more complicated. With two knight kings facing off, a great battle is bound to break out."

Merlin thought about it again and realized that made sense. Both the Lion King and the original Knight King were very stubborn and neither would submit to the other.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. So, Luo Jun, do you have any specific plans for the future?"

"Let's wait until Gilgamesh meets with his old friend first. The Holy Grail in Gilgamesh's hands is not Chaldea's target, so the target Holy Grail this time should be Kingu's side."

Hearing Luo Bai's explanation, Gilgamesh snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "So, you plan to retrieve the Holy Grail before Tiamat appears and end things ahead of time?"

Luo Bai nodded and said, "As the creator goddess Tiamat, she herself is not the kind of being to destroy; she is simply too obsessed with the love for all things. However, after creating all living beings, the children will one day grow up and leave their parents' embrace, which makes her sad and gives rise to other emotions. Considering all aspects, whether it's the reason she became a beast or Tiamat's strength, I really don't want to fight her. If it comes to that, there will definitely be widespread destruction. Even if we can protect Uruk, other places will certainly be destroyed."

"Ah... one of the Seven Evils, indeed a powerful enemy, slightly..."

"If we're not careful, the other side could destroy our world. We really need to resolve this before they appear."

Snapping his fingers, Luo Bai said, "So, I'll leave the rest to you, Merlin. If Gilgamesh encounters Kingu, contact us. With the strength of me, Artoria, and Ishtar, plus Gilgamesh in a four-on-one fight, even the Chains of Heaven wouldn't be a match for us. Not to mention, Artoria and I don't possess divinity, so aside from its basic attack capabilities, the Chains of Heaven's special properties are useless against us."

“I understand. What about Quetzalcoatl and the leopard-man?”

"Let Gudako handle it. As humanity's last Master, she can't leave everything to me, right? Hmm, let Rin and Ishtar go with her, just to be on the safe side."

Having more people has its advantages; everything can be arranged better.

Merlin had no objection to Luo Bai's arrangements; Gudako really needed to have some involvement.

After all, she's already at the seventh singularity, and she'll be facing the final enemy soon. She can't let this last chance to train slip by.

After discussing the matter, Merlin left to find Gilgamesh, and it's unclear what they'll discuss next.

After Merlin left, Rin and Ishtar came in.

Seeing the two of them walking together with their almost identical appearances reminded Luo Bai of Artoria and Nero standing together.

Yes, there are some differences; Nero's figure is much better than Artoria's.

Seeing the two return, Luo Bai poured them tea and asked, "You're back now. Is the base finished?"

Rin nodded: "After helping Medea for a while, she said she could handle the rest herself and let us come back. According to her, it should be about an hour later."

"That's good. Once the position is completed, we won't need to worry too much about the defense of Uruk. Next, let's prepare to deal with Gorgon."

"Huh? Gorgon?"

Rin paused for a moment, then asked, puzzled, "Isn't it Tiamat? What's with Gorgon?"

"Tiamat hasn't woken up yet. The mastermind behind the disappearances of many people is Gorgon, who is impersonating Tiamat. Next, we plan to deal with Gorgon before Tiamat awakens, then take back the Holy Grail and seal it away to prevent Tiamat from waking up."

Rin blinked and looked at Ishtar beside her, asking, "Do you know about these things?"

Ishtar spread her hands and said, "We were summoned by the Mother Goddess from the very beginning. As for Gorgon and the like, they have nothing to do with us. On the contrary, it is she who needs to be wary of us. Gilgamesh's strength has declined. If a real battle breaks out, humans are not the key at all; it is us goddesses. In the current situation, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Quetzalcoatl and the leopard-man can also be brought over. At that time, Gorgon will definitely be unable to hold back."

Rin scratched his head, pondering, and said, "So, this means the final battle is imminent?"

Volume 1: Chapter 646 Obtaining Ushiwakamaru's Contract (2/2)

In the evening, everyone gathered together for a sumptuous dinner, and Luo Bai also told everyone about Gorgon and Tiamat.

Ushiwakamaru took a sip of ale and said happily, "So, there's a high probability that we won't need to fight Tiamat, right?"

Although it's not a big deal for a summoned Servant to die in battle, as they simply return to the Throne of Heroes.

But when facing Tiamat, who is a creator god, anyone would definitely feel a little apprehensive.

Now that they know they may not have to face Tiamat, but only Gorgon, not only Ushiwakamaru, but also Benkei and Leonidas I breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Bai smiled and said, "That's right. If nothing unexpected happens, we can end the battle after defeating Gorgon."

"Oh! That's wonderful!"

As he spoke, Ushiwakamaru took another big gulp of beer, in an exceptionally good mood.

After finishing their meal and drinks, the attendants prepared to leave.

After they left, Luo Bai followed and called out to Niu Ruowan.

The two went to a nearby square and sat down.

Ushiwakamaru looked at Luo Bai and asked curiously, "Lord Luo Bai, is there something you want to ask me?"

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "There are some things. How have you been adjusting to this era?"

Ushiwakamaru puffed out his chest confidently and said, "Of course, I am a samurai, and the environment doesn't affect my actions much. In addition, Siduri has provided us with a very good living environment, and we don't encounter much difficulty in combat. Now, with Lord Luo Bai and Lord Knight King cooperating with us, it's even easier!"

"That's good. I'm quite happy to be working with you, Ushiwakamaru."

After a pause, Luo Bai said, "Niu Ruomaru, once the battle here is over, Gilgamesh's summons to you will also end. Before that, I want to ask you, have you ever thought about moving to another place to live? I want to get your contract back from Gilgamesh."

"Ugh?"

Ushiwakamaru paused for a moment, then pointed at himself and said, "Does Lord Luo Bai mean you want to contract me to become your Servant? But don't you already have Lord Knight King?"

"We already have Artoria, but as for good helpers, I still hope to have more and more."

With a smile, Luo Bai began to explain the problems of his world to Niu Ruowan.

"Since our world often connects to other worlds unexpectedly, and occasionally some undesirable beings come here, we with special abilities are needed to protect the lives of ordinary people. With the suppressor force of this world providing some of its power, the Throne of Heroes has also been born on our side, although the birth of Heroic Spirits still takes some time. But anomalies won't wait for the number of Heroic Spirits to increase. Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally hope to invite more suitable partners to join us."

"I see."

Ushiwakamaru understood Luo Bai's thoughts and nodded, saying, "Another world, huh? For me, now a Heroic Spirit, it really doesn't matter where it is. Besides, the future world seems quite interesting! But Lord Luo Bai, do you think King Gilgamesh would agree?"

"Why don't you just ask them?"

Standing up, Luo Bai extended his hand to Ushiwakamaru. "So, as long as Gilgamesh agrees, Ushiwakamaru will accept my invitation, right?"

Niu Ruowan smiled and placed her hand on Luo Bai's hand, asking him to help her up.

"What if I don't agree?"

Luo Bai said without hesitation, "Then I can contact the Throne of Heroes directly to summon you again after your summoning ends and I return to the Throne of Heroes. At that time, you won't have a choice."

A helpless smile appeared on Ushiwakamaru's handsome face.

"Lord Luo Bai is surprisingly stubborn. He won't give up until he makes a contract with me."

"There's nothing I can do. There are so few partners who are a good fit. Ushiwakamaru meets all my requirements." Luo Bai smiled and exchanged a glance with Ushiwakamaru before they walked together toward Gilgamesh's palace.

When they arrived, the guards did not stop them and let them in directly.

On his throne, Gilgamesh was looking at a stone slab, deep in thought.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Gilgamesh propped his head up with one hand and said, "You want Ushiwakamaru's contract, is that it? It's a simple matter. But tomorrow, why don't you come with me on a trip?"

Luo Bai laughed and said, "What's wrong? Is it that you can't bring yourself to do it when you're alone, or that you can't beat the other person?"

"All."

Gilgamesh said frankly, "At my current strength, I am indeed no match for the Chains of Heaven. This is the punishment I deserve. So, are you going or not?"

"Sure, it's not a problem. I'd love to fight them too," Luo Bai readily agreed. "So, is it just the three of us? Or should we invite some others?"

"At that time, Merlin will hide with the others, just in case. On the surface, it will just be the three of us."

After saying this, Gilgamesh put the clay tablet aside, stepped down from his throne, and came to Lobai. He stretched out his hand, and a Command Seal appeared on the back of his hand, then quickly transferred to Lobai's hand.

"Alright, from now on you are Ushiwakamaru's Master. If there's nothing else, go back. Siduri will come back tomorrow morning to inform you and take you to the city gate."

Luo Bai glanced at the increasingly complex Command Seals on the back of his hand, smiled and nodded: "It's definitely more comfortable communicating with Gilgamesh, the wise king. We'll be going then. I'll lend a hand in dealing with Gorgon later."

Gilgamesh looked at Lobai and chuckled.

"Hmph, I knew you weren't planning on fighting properly. Now that I've given you Ushiwakamaru's contract, you'd better put in the effort. After this is over, I'll have other rewards for you."

"Oh, oh, oh~~ Then I look forward to King Gilgamesh's reward."

With a wave of his hand, Luo Bai turned and walked out of the palace.

Ushiwakamaru, who had remained silent, bowed respectfully to King Gilgamesh before following Luo Bai.

After watching the two leave, Gilgamesh remained silent for a while before returning to his throne to continue his nighttime work.

Once outside, Luo Bai looked at Ushiwakamaru beside him and said with a smile, "Then please take care of me from now on, Ushiwakamaru."

After the contract transfer, Ushiwakamaru also noticed the changes in himself. His strength was gradually surpassing the upper limit of his status as a Servant, and he was beginning to approach the level of a true Heroic Spirit.

Nodding vigorously, Ushiwakamaru said, "Nice to meet you, my Master!"

Volume 1: Chapter 647 Video Call (1/2)

After the contract was officially signed, Ushiwakamaru did not go back with Luo Bai. She still had some patrol duties to perform that night, and she also needed to tell Benkei and Leonidas I about her situation.

After returning to his residence, Luo Bai saw Artoria and the others waiting on the first floor instead of going upstairs.

"Aren't you going to rest yet?"

Pausing the game she was playing, Artoria smiled and said, "After all, you said you wanted to try to get Ushiwakamaru's contract from Gilgamesh, so we were discussing whether you could succeed. But judging from your expression, you must have succeeded, right?"

“Of course, it’s not difficult at all.” Luo Bai showed the Command Seals on the back of his hand and said, “Even if I didn’t mention it, Gilgamesh would have talked to me about giving me more rewards so that I could contribute more in the fight against Gorgon. It’s just that I went to him first this time. Now, Ushiwakamaru is also a member of our side, but she has some work scheduled for tonight and will come over tomorrow morning.”

Rin was also very envious after hearing Luo Bai's confirmation.

"You're really something, managing to acquire a second Servant. But are you only planning to recruit one Ushiwakamaru?"

Although Rin herself has also signed a contract with Ishtar, it's different. Ishtar will leave after things here are over, since she was brought here by possession. Rin, who is attached to this world, will also leave after that.

Luo Bai nodded: "Leonidas I's style isn't quite suitable, his Noble Phantasm is more defensive. As for Benkei... from our current interactions, his personality isn't a good fit either."

Resting her chin on her hand, Medea said softly, "Is that so? I guess you just want to recruit female Servants, right? That Ushiwakamaru is indeed quite good in terms of personality, appearance, and figure. As for strength, I don't think he's as powerful as Artoria or you."

Faced with Medea's exposure, Luo Bai smiled and spread his hands: "I didn't deny any of that, but I did consider strength and personality, among other things. In fact, I was even thinking of bringing all the Chaldea members over after the Incineration of Humanity issue was resolved."

While Chaldea may not excel in combat strength, it is outstanding in data and intelligence analysis. Furthermore, it possesses a comprehensive theoretical foundation in Heroic Spirit research, and its research on Spirit Origins is exceptional, which should allow it to make significant contributions to the future Heroic Spirit summoning system of its own world.

However, before bringing Chaldea over, Luo Bai still has one thing to deal with, which is the plot of FGO Part 2.
