Chapter 71 I want your body, Ilya

Don't be fooled by how confident Ilya sounded when she said those words.

Actually, she herself was also extremely panicked.

God knows what kind of monster is in front of us.

A person who could withstand so many of Berserker's fierce attacks while still wearing a smile.

It's a joke that such a monster could only be restrained by the Einzbern family's magical barrier.

What she just said was actually just to attract Chen Fang and the servant's attention so that her familiars could quickly return to the Einzbern home and deliver the news of the enemy's attack.

Chen Fang's gaze fell upon the castle before him.

I couldn't help but sigh.

"They're both one of the three founding families, so why is the Tohsaka family such a tiny place?"

"He's supposed to be a local from Fuyuki, but he's not even as good as those two people who moved here from abroad."

Chen Fang relentlessly criticized his own Chen Family Compound.

If we sold this Einzbern family house, we'd have made a fortune.

That's probably enough to make a gemstone sword.

"Master, if you say that, that Rin-neechan will be angry." Scáthach made sarcastic remarks from the side. She didn't know why Chen Fang, as the Master, was here, but as a Servant, Scáthach knew not to ask what she shouldn't ask. This was the wisdom of the Mirror Queen.

"Huh?" Chen Fang looked at Scáthach "127" in front of him with a bit of speechlessness. No matter how much she pretends to be young, you are an old lady who is over three thousand years old... It's too shameless for a beautiful girl to call Rin-neechan.

"Master, I have a feeling you're thinking about something terrible." Scáthach, with the wisdom of the Magic Mirror, guessed Chen Fang's thoughts at a glance and said in a threatening tone, "It's better not to overthink things."

Chen Fang's expression froze slightly.

Although he really wanted to be beaten up by Scáthach to improve his physique, his sixth sense stopped Chen Fang from continuing his reckless behavior. What if he got stabbed through the heart and died? No, no, why should he be killed by his own Servant?

Chen Fang is a Master with Command Seals.

My thinking almost went astray.

Chen Fang's gaze shifted from Scáthach's charming face.

The group had arrived at the gates of Einzbernburg.

Just as Chen Fang was about to knock on the door, the huge door in front of him opened automatically.

Two women dressed in black and white maid dresses and wearing white headscarves pushed open the door. Not only were they dressed the same, but their expressions and appearances were also identical, giving off an aloof and distant vibe.

That makes sense. After all, they are androids. Apart from specially made ones like Ilya and a few failed attempts, most androids are emotionless, or rather, have extremely weak emotions.

After opening the door, the two maids stood silently on either side.

Ilya walked in front, Chen Fang and Scáthach followed behind, while Hercules vanished into spirit form.

The three walked forward.

A maid stood every few steps.

Although they are all very good-looking, they all look the same and their faces are all cold and aloof. Sooner or later, you'll get tired of looking at them.

The three of them soon found themselves in a fairly normal living room.

Chen Fang could clearly sense the presence of numerous hidden weapons, magic markings, and even firearms in the surrounding area, making this place a veritable meat grinder in an instant.

Even so, Chen Fang's mood remained largely unmoved.

Seemingly emboldened, Ilya took the seat of honor. A maid served tea with great self-respect, pouring a cup for both Chen Fang and Scáthach. The last time Chen Fang received such treatment was the last time.

"Well then, let's get down to business." Taking a sip of his black tea, Chen Fang began, "Ilya, do you want to live?"

As soon as this word comes out,

Ilya, who had just calmed down a bit, once again raised her guard to the highest level.

"Big brother, can I take this as a threat?"

Upon hearing Ilya's answer, Chen Fang immediately realized that she had misunderstood him, and explained, "What I mean is, after the Holy Grail War, do you want to continue living?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean."

Ilya knew, of course, that she didn't have much time left to live.

As the magical creation of the Einzbern family, she was prepared for the Holy Grail War even before she was born, and was constantly being trained from the womb.

During her childhood, she had her father's company, but after the Holy Grail War when she was six years old, her father, Kiritsugu Emiya, never appeared again. From then on, Illya's days became dull, filled with magic, magic, and more magic.

Only occasionally, when he has free time, will he take out a motorcycle that his mother, Irisviel, left behind.

For this, Ilya even got a driver's license.

This is the only driver's license in the Einzbern family.

But while Illya was born as a homunculus, she was also human. She was the child of a human and a homunculus, and naturally she possessed the intense emotions that humans have; she also wanted to live.

Seeing the longing in Ilya's eyes, Chen Fang's lips curled into a smile, and he began to say, "Do you want to continue living?"

"Live like a normal person and have the time of a normal person."

"Do you want to have the same time and ability to experience birth, aging, sickness, and death as they do?"

As Chen Fang's simulation subject, increasing his luck will increase the chances of simulation. For someone like Ilya who is about to meet her end, becoming stronger is secondary. The most important thing is to change her predetermined fate and give the girl who was destined to die a new lease on life.

If everyone dies, how can one's fortune improve?

Sitting in front of Chen Fang, Ilya swallowed hard, her petite body trembling slightly, and asked, "What do I need to give in return?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch; this was a saying that Illya learned from her father, Kiritsugu Emiya, when he was alive.

She also didn't believe that Chen Fang would unconditionally teach or use this power on her.

Everything comes at a price.

Chen Fang would certainly charge a price, not only for Ilya's luck, but also for everything else about her. He placed the teacup on the table, slowly stood up, and stood in front of the huge French window beside him. After a moment of silence, he said, "I want your body, Ilya."

Upon hearing this, Scáthach, who was drinking tea, raised an eyebrow slightly.

It seems I've come to know Chen Fang all over again.

But Scáthach quickly guessed Chen Fang's plan through the wisdom of the magic mirror.

"I want your body, the vessel that holds the Lesser Grail."

Although Chen Fang has no particular interest in the Holy Grail War, it is, after all, part of the Third Law. If the Holy Grail is purified and all the black mud inside is eliminated, it would still be very attractive. If the Servant that Chen Fang summons is not an over-the-top existence like Scáthach, then Chen Fang will continue to stagnate.

But Chen Fang summoned a Servant like Scáthach, who is beyond his caliber, so even if Chen Fang gives up, he can still obtain the Holy Grail.

Ilya kept thinking about Chen Fang's words, even though she longed for the way he suggested.

However, the Holy Grail was the Einzbern family's century-long ambition. Having grown up surrounded by this, Ilya didn't actually reject the identity of the Lesser Grail; what she rejected was only her short lifespan...

"I'm sorry, I can't give it to you."

As the head of the Einzbern family, although she looks very young, Ilya's choices are incredibly decisive.

Chen Fang didn't show any strange expression when he was rejected, as if it were a matter of course.

He knew that Ilya would definitely come looking for him. The Holy Grail War had just begun, and none of the Servants had left the stage yet. As the Lesser Grail, Ilya naturally couldn't sense it. But once the Servants of the Holy Grail War left the stage one after another, Ilya's body would gradually be suppressed by the Servant magic power within her.

When that time comes, she'll realize that becoming a Lesser Grail isn't a good thing.

Chen Fang hadn't originally planned to persuade Ilya today; he had another purpose in coming here.

Of the three founding families back then, the Tohsaka family provided the ley lines, the Magiri family (now the Matou family) provided the Command Seals, and the Einzbern family provided the Magic Circle. It can be said that, apart from the Tohsaka family being a landowner, the other two families provided very good things.

Chen Fang came here, naturally, to see the Einzbern family's construction of the Greater and Lesser Grails.

The simulated mage was only six years old, and there was no time for her to learn many things before she was killed by Gilgamesh's anti-world Noble Phantasm. She seemed to know a lot about the Holy Grail, but in reality, she knew very little. Apart from the Command Seals that allowed her to cheat, she had no other means of learning about the Holy Grail, since she didn't have much time left to learn about it.

Even so, the Demon Walker still left behind a Holy Grail purification process that is extremely valuable for reference.

In addition, Chen Fang is also very interested in the technology of artificial humans.

Chen Fang said, "Then, I need the knowledge of the Einzbern family."

Upon hearing this request, Ilya immediately stopped refusing: "Okay!"

A smile appeared on Chen Fang's lips.

Although Ilya promised to give him knowledge, Chen Fang was not prepared to treat her now.

Later in the Holy Grail War, when all the Heroic Spirits have entered Illya's body after their fierce battles, that's when Illya will beg him for help. There's no rush now.

The three walked toward the Einzbern family's library.

Under Ilya's leadership, none of the maids along the way were driven away.

After bringing Chen Fang there, Ilya took the book and sat down in a corner of the library to read it. Of course, it wasn't a magic book; who would read a book like that?

"Master, I originally thought you were someone who squandered your talent, but I didn't expect you to be so diligent." Scáthach praised Chen Fang without reservation, glancing at him as he continuously took books from the bookshelf.

"Scáthach, I'm a little embarrassed by your praise." Chen Fang scratched his head, raised one hand somewhat shyly, and said, "In the name of the Command Seals, read these books, memorize them, and then explain them all to me! Scáthach."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the three-stroke command seals on Chen Fang's hand disappeared.
