This is a very simple and ancient Japanese temple. Since Japanese temples are modeled after Chinese ones, they naturally have many similarities.

Du Can had visited temples in his hometown before. His parents had taken him there many times to pray for his health, success in the college entrance examination, and career advancement, regardless of whether Du Can believed in gods or not.

Anyway, if you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't. Du Can's attitude was that since it was free, he might as well do a prayer.

Du Can followed Liu Dongyicheng to a reception room, where he met Liu Dongyicheng's father, mother, and brother.

Japanese monks are allowed to marry and have children. Furthermore, Japanese temples are the private property of Japanese monks, and the profession of monk can be passed down to their descendants.

Ryudong Issei's father was the current head priest of Ryudong Temple, while his older brother was slated to be the next head priest of Ryudong Temple.

Du Can greeted them one by one.

"I never expected Mr. Xiao Yan to come from a neighboring country. My apologies for my lack of respect."

Liu Dongyicheng's mother served him a cup of tea.

Liu Dongyicheng's father then began to inquire about the purpose of Du Can's trip.

Fuyuki City is neither as bustling as Tokyo nor does it have any famous tourist attractions. For a foreigner like Du Can to come here, he must have some purpose.

"I'm just here as a tourist, but of course, I also want to see some old friends."

Ryu-dong Ichisei's father nodded; it turned out he had come to find a friend.

"Then you should be careful lately, Fuyuki City has been quite unsafe lately, with frequent natural gas pipeline explosions."

Upon hearing this, Du Can's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, saying, "Is that so? Thank you for letting me know."

Du Can drank a few cups of tea at Liudong Temple, and then went down the mountain.

On his way down the mountain, he was able to sense a powerful energy contained within the body of Yuanzang Mountain.

That was a vast source of magic power formed by the convergence of the planet's great source of magic power from the spiritual veins.

It feels like if it were used as a disposable bomb, it could destroy the entire city.

"Then it must be the Holy Grail, right? The magic power feels a little dirty. No wonder it is called the embodiment of all evil in this world. If it were used to cultivate demonic techniques, it would definitely allow one to progress by leaps and bounds in a day. Unfortunately, I don't have it."

After descending the mountain, Du Can continued to wander around.

He arrived at a restaurant called Hongzhou Banquet Hall in Taishan. It seemed to be a Chinese-owned restaurant, and Du Can planned to go in and have a meal.

It must be said that the restaurant's decor is very antique and has a Chinese charm, and the young proprietress is quite pretty.

But... is the food a bit too spicy?

The restaurant's specialty, Extra Spicy Mapo Tofu, is especially noteworthy; they really add an excessive amount of chili peppers.

Du Can finished eating the Mapo Tofu with a frown.

It had to be him. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be breathing fire by now.

The young proprietress standing nearby asked, "Sir, are you satisfied with the dishes?"

"It's not bad. Actually, I usually prefer to eat something milder, but it's nice to have a little spicy flavor occasionally."

The proprietress nodded and said with a smile, "I'm glad you're satisfied. A priest once told me that it wasn't spicy enough. I was starting to wonder if my sense of taste was damaged and I couldn't tell the difference in spiciness."

"I think it's spicy enough. If an average person ate this special extra spicy Mapo Tofu once, they would probably have to see a proctologist."

"Okay, thank you for your advice. I will pay attention to it in the future."

……

As Du Can walked out of the restaurant, he burped; the burp was full of the smell of chili peppers.

"This young proprietress probably doesn't eat spicy food at all, which is why she put so much chili in."

Du Can was speechless.

He then continued shopping.

As he was walking around, he discovered that someone was abducting children.

A young man is using magic tricks to hypnotize a group of children, intending to take them to a deserted place.

Du Can went up and kicked the other person, leaving him severely injured and on the verge of death.

"You...how did you find me? I clearly used the methods that Lord Bluebeard taught me. Ordinary people shouldn't be able to notice me at all, right?"

Although the other person was half-dead from being kicked by him, he still asked questions clearly.

Du Can said, "It's because you used magic that I was able to perceive you more clearly."

Du Can was very perceptive of magic, and to him, the other party's actions were nothing more than an attempt to cover up the truth.

Chapter 36 Ryunosuke Gildre

Du Can could smell a faint scent of blood on this person, a lingering odor that couldn't be removed even after a hundred showers.

Du Can had previously smelled this bloody scent on magicians in Guanbuzi City.

These are traces left after someone has been killed.

Du Can noticed that the other person's scent was much stronger than that of the serial killers in Guanbuzi City, suggesting that he had probably killed many people.

He didn't kill the other person directly, mainly because there were many children nearby. If that kick had left the person bloodied and mangled, those children would probably have been traumatized for life.

Even so, some of the children were still crying.

"mom!"

"Wa ...

"Don't eat me!"

Du Can had a bit of a headache and planned to deal with the other party after he had sent all the children away.

"...I didn't expect to miscalculate. Oh well, Lord Bluebeard, are you there? If you are, please lend me a hand."

The other person shouted, and the red tattoo-like mark on the back of his hand suddenly began to glow. Then, a figure abruptly appeared next to him.

"I am here with you. Ryunosuke, who hurt you so badly? It breaks my heart."

The figure was tall and wore a wide black robe. The collar of the robe resembled an oddly colored octopus. The most peculiar thing was the figure's eyes, which bulged out of their sockets, like two dead fish eyes, or perhaps, octopus eyes.

"Master Bluebeard, the hypnosis you taught me doesn't seem to be working on that guy. He kicked me so hard I felt like I was going to throw up my dinner from last night. Also, my stomach hurts a little. Am I going to die?"

A young man named Ryunosuke lay half-reclined in the corner of the alley, unable to stand up, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Ryunosuke, you haven't even seen my greatest and most perfect art yet, how can you die so easily? Don't worry, let me deal with these insects blocking my way first, and then I'll let you be reborn."

The dead-eyed monster named Bluebeard glanced at Ryunosuke's condition. Although he was not far from death, he could still be saved, so he was relieved and turned to face Du Can and the children behind him.

The children were so frightened that they screamed.

Indeed, Bluebeard's appearance can scare naive children.

Du Can felt a little annoyed and confused. He regretted not killing the other person earlier.

He realized that the other party was a Master from the Holy Grail War, and the Bluebeard he summoned was a Servant whose real name was Gilles de Rais.

Du Can had no recollection of the name Ryunosuke, but he knew Gildre.

Because he had seen related memes.

"I wonder how much my current strength differs from that of a Servant? Let's give it a try."

Du Can thought for a moment, then said to the children behind him, "Stand here and don't run away, or I'll spank your bottoms."

The children immediately stopped crying.

"The following scene might be a bit inappropriate for children, but we can't worry about that now."

Du Can's eyes lit up. He stretched out his palm, and the 108 magic circuits in his body shone brightly, connecting to the concept of the battle vortex.

"【Palm Sucker O Bloodsucker】!"

Du Can directly used his powerful suction to cover Ryunosuke. The powerful suction that could lift a thousand-pound rock acted on Ryunosuke's body and forcibly sucked the blood out of his body.

Ryunosuke's blood vessels ruptured, his internal organs shattered, and his skin tore apart. A large amount of blood was drawn out and flew towards Du Can's palm, forming a bloody stream in the air.

"Huh? I'm bleeding? My blood is flying everywhere, how amazing."

Ryunosuke watched as his blood was drawn out and flew through the air. Instead of being nervous or afraid, he watched with great interest, as if he were not drinking his own blood.

"Ryunosuke!"

Upon seeing Ryunosuke's miserable state, Gildre immediately realized that he had to kill the caster right away, otherwise Ryunosuke would really die if the spell continued to be sucked. So he opened the book that he had been holding closed.

"I don't care who you are, how dare you try to kill my dearest friend! You deserve to die! Sea Demon, go and kill him."

Gildre summoned several octopus-like monsters through the book and was about to command the sea monsters to attack Du Can.

A giant sea monster, almost as tall as an ordinary person, lunged at Du Can. Du Can couldn't retreat because the child was behind him.

But it didn't matter. Du Can directly connected with the concept of Blue Silver Grass, and a hard, silver bamboo spear suddenly grew out from the wall next to him, piercing through the body of the giant sea demon.

Then, raging flames erupted, roasting the giant sea monster alive.

"Let's call this dish 'Grilled Octopus'."

Before Gildre could react after seeing Du Can's methods, a bamboo spear suddenly emerged from the ground beneath his feet, about to pierce his body.

Gildre was, after all, a Servant. Although he wasn't a nimble assassin, he was a warrior in life. Even though he had descended as a mage, it didn't mean he had lost his warrior instincts. He keenly sensed the sudden attack coming from below and quickly dodged it.

However, just as he dodged, several more bamboo spears pierced through all the sea monsters summoned by Gildre, and then roasted them into sizzling octopuses.

Seeing this, Gildre knew that ordinary sea monsters probably couldn't defeat the powerful magician in front of him, so he summoned an even more powerful sea monster.

Just then, Du Can spoke up, saying, "It seems your Master won't last much longer. Don't you want to hear his last words?"

Upon hearing this, Gilderley immediately noticed the enormous blood sphere formed from congealed blood that Du Can was holding in his hand.

An average person's blood volume is around four to five thousand milliliters, and the blood sphere that Du Can is holding in his hand is within this range.

Although he had been dealing with Gildre's attacks, his hands hadn't stopped moving.

In the Holy Grail War, if your direct combat strength is inferior to that of a Servant, then killing their Master directly will be the most convenient and effective method.

Without a Master's support, a Servant can hardly exist independently.

Du Can used this method. Anyway, Ryunosuke was a serial killer, so he used this method without any scruples.

When Gildre saw the giant blood sphere, his already grim expression turned even more somber.
