FATE: Target of Grand Master

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): I agree with Lao Feng's point of view. Although BB didn't explain the content of the trial at all, she did explain the purpose of adding the special trial, which is to accelerate the elimination of Masters. Therefore, this special trial is most likely a multi-person trial, or even a large-scale multi-person trial.

After Xia Yan sent out his guess, there was a moment of silence in the chat group.

Feng Yan and Lan Muyan agreed with this view, but this is precisely the situation that their Master Group "Lighthouse" is most worried about right now.

Since the most likely scenario for large-scale multiplayer trials is team battles, although the specific form is unknown, if there are far more enemies around than they can handle, and some of them belong to the same Master Guild, prioritizing grouping up to defeat other enemies is a reasonable and efficient tactic.

No reply means he's brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): What if the next trial is a team battle?

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): What can I do? Just let it be. Commander, how many Servants can you handle with your current strength?

Xia Yan thought for a moment. Morgan, Cú Chulainn, and Musashi, whom he had, could basically take on two opponents at once, and sometimes even three. If given the chance, Morgan could use her Noble Phantasm to launch a wide-range attack. Euryale, who was the only one left, was a bit weak, but if the opponent was male, she could hold him off one-on-one. As for Miss Tsuru, he decided to let her focus on being a seamstress.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): 10 Servants is the limit.

Xia Yan still left himself some room for maneuver.

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): Based on the current average of 3-4 Servants per person, you, the leader, can only deal with a maximum of 3 Masters at the same time.

Xia Yan looked at Feng Yan's words and typed a reply in an annoyed tone.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): What else? You don't expect me to take on ten by myself.

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): Okay, okay, I know you don't have that ability.

Collecting all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): I'm speechless...

Daily updates of 30,000 words (Feng Yan): Leader, please be mindful of your language.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): How many people can you fucking take on?

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): One. I have a very clear understanding of my own abilities.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Those who can only fight one are complaining about those who can fight three. This is truly turning the world upside down.

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): Who told you to be the guild leader? You can't be the guild leader for nothing.

No reply means he's brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): Um... have we gone off-topic? Let's hurry up and discuss what to do; I still need to brew medicine for the Chief in a bit.

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): I already said, let's just leave it at that. If the enemy team has seven or eight Masters in a team battle, the three of us can be wiped out instantly.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Okay, don't be so pessimistic. I don't think the probability of a team battle in this trial is very high.

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): Why?

Gathering Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Although BB's goal is to reduce the number of Masters, there's a major premise: ensuring that the remaining Masters are generally of higher caliber. Don't forget, BB said that selecting 7 Grand Masters isn't the end goal; she wants these 7 to do other things. If a large-scale battle were to start now, with the major Master groups ganging up to wipe out the smaller Master groups and solo Masters, it would result in the loss of many powerful Masters. This is not what BB wants to see.

No reply means they're brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): That makes sense. So, Commander, what form do you think it will take?

Xia Yan thought about it and realized that there were still too few clues to make any deductions. Just daydreaming was a waste of energy.

So he encouraged the other two in the Master Guild's internal group not to worry too much about the formalities. Just like in the previous trials, they participated without knowing anything, and in the end, they all came back successfully.

The other two thought about it and agreed that it made sense. Instead of wasting energy guessing and causing unnecessary trouble, they decided to let things take their natural course.

So the three of them arranged their rest days according to their own pace.

However, the world is never short of self-righteous people.

The world chat has exploded because of BB's announcement, with all sorts of conspiracy theories circulating, such as that BB's special trial was suggested to him by the Grand Master Group, with the aim of eliminating the smaller Master Groups and Master Casuals as soon as possible.

Those independent Masters who believed this argument either formed their own alliances or joined large Master groups. The world channel was refreshing so fast that Xia Yan couldn't keep up with it.

"Xia Yan"

Xia Yan, who was about to go back to her room after putting down her phone, was stopped by Morgan.

"Be very careful during this special trial. Although I don't have clairvoyance, I still have a vague sense of unease. If anything happens to you, I..."

Before Morgan could finish speaking, Xia Yan hugged her tightly, and the faint fragrance and dampness of Morgan's fresh shower filled Xia Yan's nostrils.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Do you remember what you said? You swore in the name of Morgan le Fay that you would make me the Grand Master, and I won't allow you to go back on your word."

Morgan was taken aback, then gently embraced Xia Yan as well.

"Yes, I will."

"Klein, should I wear this outfit or this one tomorrow?"

At this moment, Euryale was holding a "strategy meeting" in her room with Miss Tsuru and Cú Chulainn.

She was holding two clothes hangers, on which were her two sets of spirit clothes from the Idol Singularity Trial.

Miss Tsuru carefully compared the outfits and suggested, "If you want to get straight to the point with O-P, then wear the floral wreath outfit. But if you want to go shopping or have a date with O-P first, it's better to wear something less revealing."

Miss Crane's advice did not help Euryale make up her mind. After all, her goal this time was to win over Xia Yan, but she was still struggling with whether it was better to lay the groundwork first or to be more direct.

"Cú Chulainn, what do you think?"

Euryale looked at Cú Chulainn.

"Wait a minute, before answering the question, I'd like to ask why you dragged me into this?"

Cú Chulainn clearly felt he shouldn't be there.

"Of course I'm here to offer advice. You said before when you were advising me that although my competitors are very strong, I'm not entirely without a chance, so naturally I have to give it my all. Okay, let's not waste time, tell me your thoughts."

Cú Chulainn understood. Because he had previously persuaded Euryale on behalf of Xia Yan and used some rhetoric to analyze things for Euryale, Euryale had automatically included him in the role of a friendly strategist.

Cú Chulainn scratched his head, somewhat regretting his earlier loose tongue, but still frankly gave his opinion.

"Eureka, we can't rush things. From my experience of observing him many times, Xia Yan is still rather conservative, which is typical of Easterners. Let's proceed step by step, and things will naturally fall into place when the time is right."

"I understand the logic, so I've already planned the content, haven't I? Now it's just a matter of deciding which outfit to choose to capture Xia Yan's heart at first sight on our date tomorrow."

Cú Chulainn, looking at Euryale's petite figure, said something quite fitting: "Only children make choices; adults want it all. Why don't you bring them all, one set in the morning and one set at night?"

Euryale suddenly realized.

"Yeah, I can put one of the rooms at the hot spring resort for the night, and then give Xia Yan a fresh experience later. Cú Chulainn, are you some kind of genius?"

Cú Chulainn replied with a look of disdain, "I really don't know what to say about you guys. You're completely clueless about men's feelings. It's only because I'm a man that none of you have a chance. Hey, don't look at me like that, so wary. I have no interest in Xia Yan. I've given you my suggestion, can I leave now?"

Having successfully escaped Euryale's room, Cú Chulainn hadn't even had time to catch his breath before he bumped into the smiling Musashi.

"Is there something you need?"

Cú Chulainn did not believe that Musashi had simply happened to be passing by.

Musashi hooked his arm around Cú Chulainn's neck, pulled him aside, and whispered, "Did Euryale ask you to give her advice? Tell me her plans."

Cú Chulainn clicked his tongue and said reluctantly, "What do you all take me for? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would easily betray information?"

"I'll help you complete the monster hunting game you've been obsessed with lately, until you get all the monsters in your bestiary and all the gold crowns."

Cú Chulainn hesitated for a moment.

"In addition, I'll also provide a free practice service for your favorite horizontal fighting game. And if you want to spar with me in the future, as long as there's no prior arrangement with Xia Yan, I'll play with you to your heart's content."

"make a deal."

Seeing that Cú Chulainn agreed, Musashi immediately pulled Cú Chulainn to his room and started a new round of "strategy meeting".
