FATE: Target of Grand Master

After signing the formal contract without hesitation, Miss He handed the Holy Grail to Xia Yan.

The surrounding environment returned to the void, and Xia Yan and the others returned to the stronghold grid of the Holy Grail Front.

[Complete the base mission: Obtain 1 Holy Grail Fragment and 5 Summoning Tickets, and also receive the base bonus: Increases the probability of summoning a Servant with a Summoning Ticket by 1%]

Xia Yan was grinning from ear to ear when he saw the effect of increasing the drop rate. With the 4 Master Points and 2 Summoning Tickets he had obtained from the small grid in the Holy Grail War, Xia Yan now had 70 Master Points and 7 Summoning Tickets remaining.

Although he really wanted to experience the change in the drop rate immediately, Xia Yan forcibly suppressed the urge to draw cards and prepared to save up for a ten-pull before trying. Just then, Miss He also had something to say to him.

"Master P, I have something important to tell you. Could you please go back to your safe house first?"

Seeing that Miss He's expression was very serious and showed no joy at escaping the cycle of reincarnation, Xia Yan immediately agreed.

Having learned from his previous experience, the first thing Xia Yan did upon returning to the safe house was to check the remaining rest time.

The clock on the wall showed that there were still about two and a half days left, so it seemed that the time spent completing the stronghold mission was not positively correlated with the time spent within the stronghold mission.

"Miss Klein, I will adjust the layout of the safe house later to provide you with a studio, but before that, let me tell you something important you want to tell me."

Miss Tsuru nodded slightly and said, "Master P, you should know that Klein is my alias. Now that I am your Servant, please just call me 'Tsuru.' I have three things to tell you and the other Servants. The first is my role. You should know that I can create Spirit Cloths, but in addition to creating Spirit Cloths for Servants, I can also create Mystic Codes for you. Each creation requires one Holy Grail Fragment."

Upon hearing this news, Xia Yan's smile was even more uncontrollable than an AK.

Mystic Code!

It's the outfit that Fujimaru Ritsuka wears in the game; I've always wanted one of those.

The magical costume not only has three magical effects, but it can also cope with many extreme environments. It is many times better than Xia Yan's daily wear or the ordinary bulletproof vests or protective suits sold in the store!

Moreover, this is a benefit that can only be obtained after forming a contract with Miss Tsuru. Although it is possible that someone might form a contract with Da Vinci and thus be able to create Mystic Codes, that would definitely be a very rare case. Having a Mystic Code gives one more hope of surviving in the trials.

"I understand. I'll leave the rest to you."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. This is a debt of gratitude I should repay."

Miss Tsuru quickly waved her hand, then continued, "The second thing is about the Holy Grail Front. You should have seen the rules when you opened the security door. The Holy Grail Front is not permanent. As Masters occupy more and more territory, there will be battles between Masters for control of their strongholds. Masters, you should also arrange some Servants to defend it in advance. Of course, you should still prioritize bringing your main Servants to the trials."

Xia Yan nodded.

Xia Yan has already captured two strongholds. In terms of rewards, he has not only gained two more Servants, but also received two decent bonuses: a 10% increase in effect resistance and a 1% increase in gacha pull rate. Xia Yan is naturally unwilling to lose these. However, as the trials progress, the strength of the opponents Xia Yan encounters is also constantly increasing. Xia Yan needs to think again about how to balance the combat power of the Servants he takes to the trials with the Servants who remain on the Holy Grail front.

"The third thing, and the most important thing, is that I want to tell you about my past experiences. Just as you guessed from the group photo you saw, I once fought alongside Fujimaru for the sake of humanity. Although I was mostly making Spirit Cloths at Chaldea, I witnessed all of Fujimaru's achievements."

What I want to tell you is that although Fujimaru successfully resolved the Burning of Humanity and the White Paper Earth, he still encountered unforeseen circumstances. One day, I and all the Servants of Chaldea lost our mana supply. Most Servants were powerless and could only return to the Throne of Heroes after their mana was depleted. But I was different. With Leonardo da Vinci's help, I used my Noble Phantasm and escaped that world.

Then, by chance, I obtained a Holy Grail and wished upon it to create an idol world. This is the origin of this base world.

After seeing the group photo, Xia Yan did think that the Tsuru in front of him was the Tsuru who was contracted with Fujimaru Ritsuka, but what was the significance of deliberately emphasizing this identity?

By the way, didn't Miss Tsuru just say that Fujimaru Ritsuka encountered some trouble?

Xia Yan recalled what BB said when he pulled everyone into the trial space: becoming a Grand Master is not the end. Could it be that the next thing to do is to resolve the changes that Fujimaru Ritsuka encountered?

Isn't this a tiny bit more difficult?

Fujimaru Ritsuka, humanity's last and greatest Master, couldn't handle this, so you want me to do it?

Xia Yan scratched his head, thinking that avoidance wouldn't solve anything, and asked, "Then, Miss Tsuru, do you know what happened to Fujimaru Ritsuka?"

"I have no idea."

"That..."

Before Xia Yan could finish speaking, Miss He interrupted him, saying, "But when Da Vinci saw me off, he specifically told me that if I met a suitable Master, I must tell him to be careful of the Descendants."

"The Descendants?"

Xia Yan recalled all the Exotics in FGO, and at least so far, he had not encountered any of them.

Wait a minute, I think I've already encountered one!

Clytie, a nymph blessed by Oceanus, will be sewn together with Van Gogh to form Clytie Van Gogh, who is the Adventist class.

Xia Yan unconsciously touched the mark of the blessing. Since then, the mark has not changed at all, to the point that Xia Yan had almost forgotten about it.

Noticing that Xia Yan's expression was a little off, Miss He asked, "Yu P, what's wrong?"

Xia Yan didn't hide anything, since Miss He was already one of his own, so he told Miss He about what had happened to him.

"What am I going to do! Leonardo da Vinci only told me this much, and I have absolutely no idea how to solve it!"

Seeing that Miss He was even more distressed and worried than he was, Xia Yan became the one to comfort her.

After a brief exchange, Xia Yan was able to confirm that Miss He did not have any useful information, so he went to the kitchen to get busy.

While having more Servants is a happy thing, it also means having to feed another mouth to feed. Luckily, this mysterious idol X wasn't real, otherwise I probably would have been sleeping in the kitchen if I had brought him back.

"Xia Yan, let me help you."

Becoming a cook is either a one-time thing or an endless series of times.

Morgan, who already had experience, took the initiative to join Xia Yan's battle in the kitchen, while Euryale, who had previously been clamoring for Xia Yan to teach her how to cook, also squeezed in.

Seeing Morgan, who could barely hold his knife without the help of magic, and Euryale, who cried and hugged him after getting her finger pinched by a crayfish, Xia Yan suddenly felt a sense of helplessness as he desperately tried to carry in the mid lane but still couldn't bring his teammates along.
