The blue-haired young man merely glanced at him coldly. When facing Vlad III, he had no choice but to adopt a subservient demeanor, after all, the other party was the King of Romania, the strongest Sevent in this land, and he had to show the necessary respect.

But if it's Siegfried who doesn't even have magic, then forget it.

"Issue the order in the name of the Command Seals—"

“Saber, you must never disobey me.”

Danic raised his right hand with a cold smile, the two Command Seals on the back of his hand standing out prominently at this moment.

 623 “What! You actually....."

Just as Siegfried was shocked and seemed to understand something, and was about to raise his sword to kill his opponent, his entire body suddenly froze.

"Don't waste your energy, Siegfried. Without anti-magic power, you absolutely cannot resist the power of the Command Seals. From now on, I, Darnik Preston Yggdrasil, am your Master. Remember that."

With the sound of his boots hitting the ground, the monster who had lived for nearly a hundred years calmly walked out of the office; he had more important things to do now.

Let's go back to daytime today.

"Chief Danic...you, you've done something that the Mujik tribe, who have submitted to Yggdmirena, cannot accept!"

The girl rarely showed any indignation. Mujik might be incompetent and useless, but no matter what, he was the leader of the remnants of the Mujik clan, the patriarch, and her relative. How could she be happy that Danik had done such a thing without considering their feelings?

"Are you threatening me, Fiore!"

Danic clapped his hands coldly, and suddenly a large number of androids and puppets appeared out of nowhere, along with Caster and the healed Rider!

Chapter 286: Miss Souji vs. Little Mo - A Friendly Match!

"It's really rare. Neither the black nor the red side has made a single move today. I'm really not used to it."

Looking at the bustling crowd, Shizi Jieli seemed a little uncomfortable. After all, he was a necromancer, and he preferred places with fewer people and more darkness. Being exposed to the sun like this always gave him a strange feeling.

On the main commercial street of Tulipas, the Purple Team members, who had been fighting for several days straight, finally got a much-needed rest. To celebrate the addition of a new member to the Purple Team family, at the strong suggestion of a certain young magician, they happily—

Out shopping!

"After all, this Holy Grail War will last for a full fourteen days. If we fight every day, it would be too tiring from beginning to end. It would be a huge burden for both Master and Sevent."

Wearing a light blue casual suit, Shen Qiu replied with a smile, "Besides, the main time of the Holy Grail War is always night, not day. It's just that the Masters participating in this Holy Grail War completely ignored this rule, resulting in a situation where 'the war is being fought both day and night.'"

"These clothes are so beautiful..."

Miss Souji's eyes sparkled as she gazed at the dazzling array of clothing in the shop, while she unconsciously glanced at her pink kimono. Compared to the sophistication of modern clothes, she seemed a little outdated...

"Master, I want to buy clothes too!"

Mordred, who had been stuffing popcorn into her mouth the whole time, saw Rin Tohsaka grab Okita Souji's hand and burst into a well-known international clothing chain store, and immediately mumbled something indistinctly.

"Are you going to buy another one? But didn't you already buy one in Sighishwara? Look, it's the one you're wearing right now."

Shizi Jieli pointed somewhat helplessly to Mordred's crop top and super low-cut jeans. Wasn't the style of Britain during the time of King Arthur supposed to be very conservative? How come she went against the grain? Such a hot outfit is extremely rare in early spring.

Therefore, whenever they went somewhere, although Xiao Mo looked a bit slovenly and was always chewing, he always managed to get a 100% head-turning rate from teenagers as young as thirteen or fourteen and middle-aged men in their forties and fifties.

As for those over sixty—they're probably secretly cursing in their hearts things like "shameless, morally bankrupt."

Fortunately, Shiki Jie Li's appearance is enough to scare an ordinary person to death, otherwise, there would probably be so many people lining up to chat him up.

"They're practically like father and daughter."

Despite this thought, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, but it quickly disappeared, as if... he had thought of something.

"I want it! I want it!"

Upon hearing Lion's Revenge's extremely reluctant tone, Xiao Mo's hair immediately stood on end, and he immediately struck a rogue-like pose.

"No! Wasting money is not a habit that a successor to the throne should have. If one is truly a qualified heir to the kingdom, then financial management is an essential skill; otherwise, the people will starve."

Seeing the rebellious knight about to lie on the ground and start throwing a tantrum, Lion's Robber immediately put on a heartfelt "benevolent father" look, and after hearing his words, Little Mo, who had been jumping around wildly, suddenly quieted down.

"Oh well..."

Mordred muttered under her breath, somewhat reluctantly, clearly swayed by Lion's words—a very rare occurrence indeed, she had actually been persuaded.

"Mr. Lion's Robbery is very capable. He knows how to address the root cause and knows what kind of thing to use to persuade this lively, somewhat excessive knight."

Shen Qiu looked at Shizi Jie Jie Li beside him with some surprise. No wonder everyone said that this was the best pairing of the red team in the original work. Shizi Jie doted on Xiao Mo, but it was not an unlimited indulgence. Instead, he knew how to maintain a proper balance.

"Well, after all, I did have a daughter once..."

The necromancer blurted out the words somewhat unconsciously, but quickly realized he had let something slip, and the conversation ended abruptly.

"A family curse...?"

Although the other party did not finish speaking, Shen Qiu roughly understood what it was about, so he deliberately did not reveal the truth and continued the conversation.

Just when everyone thought the matter was almost over, Xiao Mo behind them seemed to sense something and ran towards Rin and Souji, who had already come out of the clothing store.

"This guy is really something..."

Seeing Mordred gallop away like a runaway horse, the scarred man scratched his head helplessly and then quickly followed. He didn't know what she was planning to do—but it probably wasn't anything good.

"...You...you...you! How dare you make such a request! You're Saber, Saber! You actually want to fight Assassin? Don't you have any shame?!"

As soon as Rin Tohsaka stepped out of the store, she bumped into Mordred, who had a delighted look on her face. Upon hearing what Mordred said, Rin refused without even thinking.

"Hey! Asassin, how about a fight? If I win, you can give me that outfit you're carrying, okay?"

"You big idiot!"

"What does it matter! Assassin is a swordsman too, right? And a swordsman who was famous throughout the world in his time. I'm a swordsman too, and one of the members of the Round Table. Although there's nothing to brag about about that broken table, it's still a recognition of my strength!"

Looking at Okita Souji, who bore at least a 90% resemblance to her father, she patted her chest with considerable confidence.

"Want to fight me? No problem! I accept anyone who dares to challenge my swordsmanship, Master. Please allow me to grant Saber's request!"

Upon hearing Mordred's request, Okita Souji's face immediately turned serious. In the East, it was a very serious and formal matter for a swordsman to challenge another swordsman.

If you agree but are defeated, you will undoubtedly lose your own glory and become a stepping stone for the enemy to gain fame.

However, if one doesn't even dare to agree and runs away in fear, then what one loses is not only one's own glory, but also one's own reputation and the family's honor. And if one loses this reputation, it will be very difficult to even gain a foothold in society in the future.

In severe cases, even the entire family can be implicated.

Chapter 287: The Vanity of the Sky Garden! (Please Subscribe!)

"May I come inside?"

"Sure, come in."

On a large expanse of wasteland behind the church stands an incredible building—no, it can no longer be called a building; if one had to describe it, the only word would be "fortress."

That's right, a fortress!

With a circumference of at least ten kilometers, and an exterior made entirely of an unknown black material, this massive structure is surprisingly exquisitely crafted, and the entire fortress is a strange Gothic building.

This is a building that no ordinary human could possibly create. Just one glance at it is enough to inspire awe. The entire building exudes a dark and eerie atmosphere, making people afraid to approach it.

This is Semiramis's ultimate Noble Phantasm—[Vain's Sky Garden EX]! The Red Team's ultimate trump card, the culmination of decades of planning by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada!

The original model was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Eight Wonders of the Ancient World. In fact, this building had nothing to do with Semiramis, but due to the misleading influence of later bards and novelists, many people believed that it was built by her.

That's why it got its name: "vanity".

Many Sevents themselves are misled by later generations, which leads to distortions of their inherent skills, Noble Phantasms, or even themselves.

For example, Salieri was cursed with the "innocent monster" curse. He hadn't done anything wrong, but through various misleading channels, the curse was imposed on him, thus truly transforming him into the "Avenger."

Take Okita Souji for example. Even though she has passed away, people still remember her "sickly" nature. When asked what their first impression of Okita Souji is, people often say, "A genius swordsman who died young from illness."

Since it's for vanity, using it would be extremely difficult. First, you'd need to know how far in advance you had to purchase enough timber, stone, minerals, plants, water, etc., from where Semiramis lived (in the Middle East). Roughly speaking, that would take tens of tons. Then you'd have to transport it to Romania.

The money spent on this process alone is far beyond what a magician could afford.

However, this is not the end. Semiramis then needs to chant incantations for a full seventy-two hours to turn this fantasy into reality. The magical power consumed in this process is beyond the capacity of an ordinary magician.

So the conclusion is: flashy and superficial, but ultimately meaningless.

After all, what's the point of having something that looks powerful but can't be used?

"Is this... the synonym for miracle? It's truly astonishing..."

The moment Amakusa Shirou stepped into the Sky Garden, he felt a different sensation, one that even contained the power of a [Pseudo-Dragon Vein], capable of slightly restoring his Master's mana.

If it were Semiramis, it would be a massive recovery, or rather, as long as she was inside, she would never lack magic power.

After walking for several kilometers, he finally saw the Empress. She sat on her throne in the central control room, and even the walls around her were built in an extremely luxurious manner.

"Of course! As long as I'm inside this treasure, all my attributes will increase by one level. Not only that... there are dozens of EX-rank magic cannons, unlimited magic power, and I can even release Sevent's spiritual state. As long as I'm inside, I'm invincible!"

Semiramis's voice was weak, but her face still showed immense pride. She snapped her fingers lightly, and a glass of red wine appeared out of thin air in her right hand.

It can even use a certain degree of spatial magic!

"How much longer will it take to finish? I don't know why, but I have a feeling of unease... I don't know why I'm so uneasy, but there must be some reason."

Amakusa Shiro gave a wry smile and casually sat down on a bench. This Holy Grail War seemed to be targeting him from the very beginning, and he had been incredibly unlucky from day one, like Mercury retrograde.

Originally, in his plan, all six Masters other than himself should have been under his control. However, two of the three upper riders were abnormally wary of him, so he had no choice but to give up.

Immediately afterwards, Rider was dispatched to intercept the saintess. Just before she was about to succeed, she was attacked by an unknown Lancer. Despite Rider's attributes, Noble Phantasm, and fame, she was completely powerless to fight back and was unilaterally defeated.

Then Berserker inexplicably went berserk. Originally intended to use Berserker to investigate the strength of the local forces, Lancer and Saber's Masters used him as a weapon.

The restraining force seemed to be telling him directly: "Give up, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. No matter what you want to do, I will try my best to intervene. Unless you give up, you will continue to be unlucky until you lose this Holy Grail War."
