"While I am British, my sexual orientation is absolutely normal! Oh, and by the way, I like young, mature beauties, like Juliet..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shuoyue hit him with a book.

"Get lost, I don't have any gay feelings for you." The young man laughed and cursed, ignoring the quirky Sabbie, while his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

As a transmigrator who was well-versed in the Holy Grail War, Shuoyue had always had some doubts about the so-called 'Blue Faction'.

Although in the Type-Moon universe, the level of magic in the Age of Gods and the modern world is worlds apart, and those demons, that is, the high-ranking fantasy species, can indeed easily revise the Holy Grail system... the deal that the Osa family made to the demons was to overturn the Holy Grail War and seize the Greater Grail.

If the Osare clan summoned any normal Heroic Spirit instead of the New Moon, how could he possibly defeat both the Red and Black factions single-handedly? Keep in mind that each faction has seven renowned Heroic Spirits!

Even with the advantage of concealment, the number of blue team members is simply too small to allow them to reap the benefits!

Now, Shuoyue finally understands the true terror of the Blue Team...

She took off her black robe, revealing her chest under Sabbie's still-frightened gaze. The Command Seals, which resembled outstretched wings, changed once again—although they were still divided into three parts, blank Command Seal outlines appeared on the left, center, and right!

Those are the three Command Seals that can be instantly filled with the thought of the new moon... Command Seals belonging to Shakespeare!

The Master who created the connection with the new moon is self-evident.

"Without the Master's consent, as long as the Servant acknowledges that they belong to the Blue faction, their Command Seals can be stolen..."

After thoroughly understanding the rules of the Blue Team, even Shuoyue couldn't help but gasp and mutter to herself.

"No wonder the Osare clan is so arrogant... This faction's capabilities are far too dangerous."

Especially if it falls into the hands of a prescient time traveler, the scope for manipulation is simply too vast.

After getting dressed and tidying herself up, Shuoyue took a deep breath, trying not to utter a sound of "It smells so good!" but a smile still appeared on her face.

This ability is great, but now it's mine.

The Osare clan, you need not worry!

"Coo coo coo..." Just as Shuoyue was secretly delighted, a snow-white pigeon flew in, landed on his shoulder, and pecked at his head with its beak, making a dull tapping sound.

"What's going on?" Shuoyue grabbed the pigeon and looked at the famous writer in front of her with a puzzled expression. "Did you miss your deadline? Or did you have to take a break from updating a novel or abandon it?"

“What a joke! Do you think I’m that kind of person?!” Shakespeare, of course, couldn’t accept such an insult. He raised his eyebrows guiltily. “This is your familiar. It seems you have something to discuss with me.”

"Oh, I see." Shuoyue understood. He did remember that Semiramis had a skill called [Familiar (Dove)] that could summon pigeons. "It seems they dare not ignore me anymore."

She tossed the little white bird out the window, and as soon as Shuoyue stepped outside, Shabi locked the door behind her. Feeling guilty, she went to her desk, took out an unfinished book from the drawer, and began to write furiously.

"Coo coo coo..." Pigeons circled outside the window, making cheerful calls.

Back in the main church hall, Shuoyue's gaze swept past the two NPCs Amakusa and the Empress who appeared daily, and then fixed on a newly appeared young man.

His hair grew freely, remaining a translucent white. His gaze was as sharp as a polished blade, and the red stones inlaid on his exposed chest shone brightly, creating a lustrous and alluring effect. But what was most striking was the golden armor that seemed less like it wrapped around his entire body and more like it was an integral part of his flesh, radiating a divine light.

Although each part is so beautiful, the youth as a whole gives a strong impression that transcends beauty. What a wonderful youth he is!

Moreover, Shuoyue knew the young man's identity all too well.

—The Red Team's most powerful Servant, the biggest obstacle in the New Moon Plan... without exception.

Almost instantly, Shuoyue tensed up and walked silently to the three of them.

"Why did you summon me here?"

“The time has come; the person I am most wary of is on his way here.”

Amakusa spoke first, his leisurely gaze, as if looking into the distance, revealed a clear hostility.

It wasn't out of hatred, but because Amakusa Shiro had to defeat this one and only person in the world in order to realize his dream.

"right?"

"Yes, it's been confirmed that the guy has infiltrated Romania."

Amakusa was not surprised by Sakugetsu's insightful observation. For him and Semiramis, it would be suspicious if Sakugetsu acted as if he knew nothing.

Under the influence of the 'familiars (pigeons),' the Empress's intelligence network, composed of pigeons, spanned the entire territory of Romania. The moment she appeared in the world and infiltrated Romania, the pigeons sensed the undeniable flow of magical power.

Withdrawing his gaze from someone, Amakusa turned to Sakugetsu and the silent youth.

"Lord Shuoyue, I need you to kill him. Even in the worst-case scenario, buy us time."

The saintess who is about to arrive? I'd like to meet her too... Shuoyue nodded: "Of course."

The young man beside him, also known as 'Hong', nodded calmly, which was taken as an expression of agreement.

Unlike the equally skilled but rebellious 'Red' and Shuoyue, this person's personality can be summed up in one word: "martial artist".

He would not hesitate to take action without even a hint of disobedience to any order given to him.

Without further explanation, Sakuyue and Kurenai set off, following the pigeons' guidance. Meanwhile, inside the church, Amakusa nervously rubbed his fingers, while Empress Semiramis watched her Master with interest, appreciating his anxiety.

Unable to bear the Empress's bold gaze any longer, the priest gave a wry smile and looked at his servant.

The way you're acting makes it seem like I'm the servant and you're the master. As a proper servant, even if you don't offer assistance, shouldn't you at least avoid looking at your Master with such a critical eye?

"Hmph, of course. Although I'm used to being served, I'm not used to serving others, let alone expecting me to comfort you—ah, right, it's not too late now, let's make a trade?"

An exchange? It's an unimaginable possibility.

Faced with the Empress's sudden whim, Amakusa shook his head and replied, "I refuse. Because you seem to be quite a tyrant."

Upon hearing this, a mischievous glint appeared in her light-colored eyes. She murmured softly:

"The title of the world's oldest poisoner isn't just for show, you know? Do you think you can command Ben Semiramis?"

—Those were the words the Black-Dressed Empress uttered when Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was summoned.

Amakusa smiled and repeated her previous answer.

"Empress of Assyria. In this Holy Grail War waged by fourteen warriors, my goal is a place beyond victory and defeat. Could you please assist me?"

Upon hearing this, he burst into laughter, a rare occurrence for him.

"Yes, that's the line! I was surprised at the time and thought you were talking about something else. To be honest, at that moment I even considered finding another puppet and exchanging with him as soon as possible."

"now what?"

"You still ask that now? You're quite amusing. Your wish is my wish. Therefore, I have no hesitation whatsoever in helping you."

Thank you.

Faced with the Empress's frank words, Amakusa was filled with gratitude, but only managed to utter two dry words. As if somewhat shy, the saintly young man turned away, earnestly admiring the church's stained-glass windows.

However, the Empress would not let it go so easily. Accompanied by a sweet fragrance, the beauty in the black dress leaned against Amakusa's back, her curvaceous and soft body pressing against the boy's spine, her red lips close to his ear, whispering softly.

Do you think you can win by relying on that new moon?

“Trust them.” Amakusa nodded, his eyes filled with pure trust. “After all, they are top assassins who could defeat Vlad III, and—the son of the sun god Surya.”

“The hero of charity, Karna…” Semiramis snorted softly, but even she couldn’t utter a word of rebuttal to this pair.

The church suddenly fell silent. Amakusa stared intently at the glass window, letting her delicate hand rest on his fragile neck. Her blushing face made the Empress smile slightly, and she tightened her grip on him, pressing him even closer.

"Shh, be quiet."

So the boy looked up helplessly and began to admire the window that seemed to open to heaven with even greater seriousness.

Chapter 406 As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chang Wei hitting Laifu.

Chapter 407 As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chang Wei hitting Laifu.

Karna, son of Surya, the sun god in Hindu mythology, is a hero who bestows charity.

She is a top-tier Heroic Spirit on par with Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, and her strength is comparable to his. She is even known as one of the "Golden Three Targets" along with Gilgamesh and Ozymandias. Her prestige is self-evident.

Leaving aside Karna's two great treasures: the invulnerable golden armor and the god-slaying spear that can destroy with a single blow, there is only one reason why Shuoyue is so wary of this 'Red': his seemingly ordinary but actually invincible skill that is the perfect counter to schemers.

The poor man's insight, level A.

Karna has the privilege of questioning the life and value of the weak while he is alone in the world, a skill that demonstrates his power to grasp the essence of others.

In daily interactions, this manifests as the ability to see through the other person's personality and attributes, and not to be deceived by verbal explanations or deceptions—in other words, Little Sun is a human-shaped self-propelled lie detector.

For the Blue faction, who must rely on deception and disguise to achieve victory, Karna's ability is akin to a natural enemy.

Oh, by the way, [The Poor Man's Insight] has an overly thorough understanding of things and people's hearts. In addition, Little Sun's speech is too direct, ignoring the other party's concealment and deception, which makes people feel disgusted and even draw their swords against him.

However, Karna wasn't so useless as to be easily attacked, so he interpreted this as, "So that's how it is, you want to fight me?" and started fighting without saying a word. Therefore, he is often considered a villain—and the kind of villain who is completely unaware of it.

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

In short, vigilance, apprehension, and maintaining distance... For the pyramid scheme leader Shuoyue, maintaining such a relationship with Karna seems like a natural course of action.

However, in reality, on the way to ambush Joan of Arc, Suoyue became acquainted with Karna.

The point where the two meet is also quite simple.

Karna is a pure 'martial artist', while Sakumoku is a 'martial fanatic' interested in all supernatural powers. Although Sakumoku doesn't understand magic, Karna, with his 'uncrowned martial arts', clearly has considerable authority when it comes to martial arts.

"I see. It seems your progress in martial arts is not as good as your progress in magic... Is that what's troubling you?"

The young man, clad in golden armor with a magnificent red stone inlaid on his chest, nodded and asked calmly, "May I ask what martial arts you practice?"

This clearly touched on personal matters, but Shuoyue trusted Karna's word quite a bit and answered decisively:

"A spear technique that touches the divine realm, A++ level Chinese martial arts - Bajiquan, first-class archery, second-class dual swords, third-class swordsmanship... that's about it."

Strictly speaking, Shuoyue also possesses the skill of throwing black keys, and the Frankenstein's monster technique "Battle Method: Death" that she created herself, but one is a unique technique of the church and not mainstream, and the other she considers clumsy, so she did not show it off.

“Hmm…” Karna, a great hero recorded in the Mahabharata, was a master of archery, spearmanship, horsemanship, and boxing. He pondered for a moment and then asked another question.

"Your Excellency Shuoyue, may I ask how long you have been practicing these martial arts?"

My current level in Shuoyue is entirely due to my exceptional talent... Deep Blue, add points!

Shuoyue amused himself, but when he actually thought about the question, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

The bow, sword, and spear from Emiya; the spear from Diarmuid; the Bajiquan style derived from Kirei Kotoamatsu...

These martial arts techniques all originated from the Fourth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.

Although it feels like a long time has passed, it has been a long time since the war ended...

"I think... less than a year."

Less than a year?!

Karna's pupils contracted slightly, and after a long silence, he finally spoke:
