Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 569 Nanuk's Cast Holy Grail
Utopia, the tavern at the end of the world.

"Is it over just like that?" Bai E looked at the phone Xing handed to him.

"Yes, it's like the screenwriter was too lazy to write the story and just rushed to finish it." Xing put her phone away.

"Haha." Bai E laughed. "However, it's ultimately a good thing that we don't need to fight."

"If we have to put it bluntly, the focus of this Holy Grail War wasn't really on the Holy Grail itself. It seems like nobody really cares about it." Bai Er stroked the hilt of his sword, clearly enjoying it.

During this time, he tried to dye the sword yellow and purple, but no matter how he tried, the dye wouldn't stick; it was as if the weapon itself was resisting.

The aesthetics of this sword are so terrible...

Helpless, Bai E casually placed the sword on the table.

"Hmm!" Bai E realized that he had been ambushed.

At some point, Xing had put on a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, and changed into a professional suit, looking every bit the paparazzi reporter.

She held a black microphone in her hand and poked Bai E's nostrils repeatedly.

"Mr. Bai'er, do you have anything to say about obtaining the Holy Grail this time?"

"And about this publicly funded trip."

Bai E raised his hand to stop Xing from continuing to poke his nostrils with the microphone.

Just as he opened his mouth to say something, Xing reached back and shoved the microphone into Bai E's mouth.

This forced Bai'er to raise his hands in surrender while turning his head to the side and backing away.

"Alright, alright." A few seconds later, Bai E successfully escaped.

"So how do you feel?" Xing was wrapped in golden light several times, but she still stubbornly held the microphone, unable to bring it to Bai E's mouth.

Bai E shook his head: "I didn't feel much. After all, the Holy Grail can only do so much, so it's not of much help to me."

He had already learned about the plot of Onpharos from Xing's phone, and Bai Er was skeptical about how much the Holy Grail could accomplish.

"However, there have certainly been many gains. First, I learned about what will happen in the future," Bai E smiled. "Then, I broadened my horizons. I have indeed learned a lot here, and I even witnessed the divine war in the sky. This is completely different from the war between demigods and the Golden Blood in our region."

Then, he pointed to the "Qinchen" on the table.

"And then there's 'Dawnfall.' This seems to be much more powerful than the original sword from the future, and it has more functions as well."

"But when it comes to your actual fight with Nanook, this sword won't give you much of an advantage, will it?" Xing asked curiously.

“That’s not how it works,” Bai’er shook his head. “I recently read a few novels by Russell, which mentioned that some martial arts masters can ‘injure people by picking flowers and flying leaves,’ but no matter what, a real knife is much better than a leaf.”

"Just like you told me about 'Yellow Springs,' she is very strong, but she becomes even stronger when she wields that katana [Mu]."

"So you're planning to try leaving a couple more cuts on Nanook's body?" Xing asked. "Or are you going to try a different approach?"

Bai Er glanced back and said, "If I could, I really hope Nanuk could witness the sun from another world."

He paused for a moment, then changed the subject, saying, "Compared to a ball of fire that only knows how to burn, a real sun can do more and better things."

"In short, I feel that this sword can help me better carry Onpharos." Thump thump thump.

There was a knock on the half-open door of the tavern, interrupting Xing and Bai'e's conversation.

"Is Mr. Kauslana there? And Miss Xing? Your package is here."

A deliveryman wearing a blue uniform, a helmet with a small yellow duck on top, appeared at the tavern entrance on his electric scooter and knocked on the door.

“I am Kaerslana.” Bai Er walked to the door. “What delivery?”

"Your Holy Grail has arrived," the deliveryman said.

As he spoke, the deliveryman took a cardboard box from the back of his electric scooter and handed it to Bai E, who had come to the door to pick up the package.

Bai E reached out and took the cardboard box, subconsciously glancing at the words on it.

The next second, Bai E's eyes widened suddenly. Having experienced countless battles, large and small, he was unusually flustered this time, and read out the words above in disbelief:
"A top-tier sex toy co-branded with the Star Gods, ultra-tight, ultra-realistic, odorless, with built-in suction, and a 100% replica of the Nanook Holy Grail?"

"What is this!"

Bai E strained to lift his head, staring in shock at the deliveryman wearing a helmet in front of him.

Then, he looked down again, his eyes widening even more: "Wait, this thing actually supports a seven-day no-reason return policy!"

"Following the market and operating with integrity, that's all." The deliveryman adjusted his helmet, turned around and rummaged through the basket on the back of the vehicle, then suddenly realized: "Oh, sorry, I just took the wrong one. This is your Holy Grail."

The deliveryman took out another box and gave it to Bai Er.

This time, the box only had the words "Discreet Shipping" on it.

Bai Er tossed the Nanook Grail back to the deliveryman as if it were a hot potato.

"You don't want this?" the deliveryman asked. "Since it's already out, why don't you just buy one?"

"No, no, no!" Bai E waved her hands repeatedly.

"If you don't want it, we have other things here." The deliveryman continued rummaging through the back seat of the car.

"We also have the Cripper Grail with enhanced firmness, the IX Grail with enhanced absorption, and the Hipe Grail that can be used by multiple people..."

"And there's also the high-tech, fully automated Holy Grail of the Eminent Scholar..."

"Of course, my top recommendation is the Holy Grail of Aha, which randomly triggers special effects, including heating, cooling, electric shock, tearing, poisoning, crimson decay, and self-destruction..."

"Do you have any Akivili?" Xing, who had somehow managed to break free of the ropes, came over.

"Yes, yes, this Archivist Holy Grail is a new experience every second. We're currently having a buy-one-get-one-free promotion."

How do I pay?
