FATE: Target of Grand Master

After hearing Xia Yan's words, the three Masters on the rebel side fell silent again, each of them carefully considering what they should give up to buy back their lives.

Villeneuve was the first of the three to speak, but to the surprise of the other two, he did not try to save his life. Instead, he said in an extremely ingratiating tone, "Xia Yan, I'm one of our own, so there's no need for that."

That one sentence was enough for the other two to realize that this guy was a traitor, but it was too late to say anything now.

"Okay, you can wait here for now. I have something else to discuss with you later."

Xia Yan didn't make things difficult for Villeneuve, which was also a signal to the other two that he was a man of his word, and as long as they followed his rules, he wouldn't break his promise.

"Okay, do as you please, I'm not in a hurry."

Seeing Villeneuve's muscular, burly man's fawning smile, Frenitta was furious. She cursed his family and ancestors for eighteen generations in her mind, but ultimately didn't utter the curse aloud.

Villeneuve certainly saw Frenitta's eyes, which seemed to want to tear him to pieces, but he didn't care at all, or rather, he didn't think he had any reason to be hated by her so much.

If the battle between the two sides were deadlocked, and he betrayed them at a crucial moment, ultimately affecting the outcome, then Villeneuve felt that Frenitta's anger would be completely understandable. However, this battle was completely one-sided, and he, as an undercover agent, had not played a significant role at all.

As for the previous intelligence, it certainly had value, but even without that intelligence, Villeneuve did not think that Xia Yan with Morgan would lose. It can only be said that Xia Yan's cautious nature left all his enemies with no chance to take advantage of his carelessness and turn the tables.

While Frenitta was still consumed by anger toward Villeneuve, the traitor, Chiron, representing the young boy Belo, spoke up.

"We have two Summoning Tickets, a Holy Grail fragment, a Steel Forged Sword, a First Blade, a Heaven's Grail, and the Mystic Code: Luna Essence. That should be enough to save our lives, right?"

Upon hearing this, not only Freya and Villeneuve, but even Xia Yan was taken aback. What is "First Sword"? And what is "Heaven's Feel"?

Xia Yan only knew about the effects in the game, but in the Master Trial, they should have different effects than in the game.

Xia Yan didn't pretend to know what he didn't, and directly asked about the function of the two items and how to obtain them.

"Huh? You didn't know?"

Chiron was somewhat surprised, then immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, it was my rudeness. Since you didn't ask about the effects of 'Steel Forged Sword,' you must know that it's an item that increases a Servant's strength. The effects of 'Ichi no Tachi' and 'Heaven's Grail' are similar to 'Steel Forged Sword,' except that 'Ichi no Tachi' increases agility, while 'Heaven's Grail' increases Noble Phantasm. As for how to obtain them, they are naturally obtained through Summoning Tickets."

After Chiron finished speaking, the other three, including Xia Yan, fell silent.

Listen to this, is this even human language?

What do you mean you don't know?

Is this something that's easy to know?

Recalling how he had only drawn useless junk with his summoning talismans, Xia Yan suddenly felt that the little boy in front of him might be incredibly lucky.

No, he must be incredibly lucky, because in terms of negotiation skills, the initial terms would definitely leave room for negotiation. No one would reveal their bottom line right away, which means that Bai Luo possesses more items and costumes than Chiron mentioned earlier.

Xia Yan rubbed his chin. Although he wanted to test what else Bai Luo and the others could be squeezed out of them, he had just been thinking of giving them a discount, so he might as well leave it at that. Anyway, what Karon had said earlier had already exceeded Xia Yan's expectations.

"Can."

Xia Yan readily agreed to Chiron's proposal, which surprised the Great Sage.

He was prepared to haggle and argue with Xia Yan, but the fact that things went so smoothly was a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.

Now, only Freya remains unresolved among the three.

But at this moment, most of her anger had dissipated, leaving only bitterness.

Leaving aside the traitor, she never expected that the kid next to her could produce so many items, which immediately raised Xia Yan's expectations. If she had only managed to produce one or two items, she definitely wouldn't have passed the test. But the problem is, she's not lucky enough to have so many props on her side.

"I only have one summoning ticket, one Origin Bullet, and the Shroud of Magdalene in Mystic Code."

Frena said, her voice lacking confidence.

"Is that all?"

As expected, Xia Yan showed a very dissatisfied expression.

"But this is all I have left."

Seeing Freya's almost tearful expression, Xia Yan felt that she wasn't lying, but letting her pass like this was definitely not an option.

"This is a real headache."

Xia Yan lightly tapped his temples, making a troubled expression.

Seeing Xia Yan's actions, Freya seemed to see a glimmer of hope for survival and immediately said, "I can help you fight Craig and Cecilia in the north."

Traitors are not shameful, but death is. At this moment, Frenitta also decisively joined Villeneuve's ranks.

However, Xia Yan's words made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Am I not good enough to beat them?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I was just thinking of ways to save you some magic power."

"I remember that my servant Ereshkigal was also taken care of by your Edison and Gilles de Rais. That debt also needs to be settled. All in all, I feel like you can't possibly pay it back at all."

Looking at Xia Yan's smiling face, Freya's mind went completely blank; she didn't know how to survive.

"However, killing you here won't bring any further benefits. So how about this: hand over your safe house coordinates and teleportation orb, and then follow my orders until I allow you to leave this trial. After you leave, you must also follow my orders until you die or the Master Trial ends."

"Okay, no problem!"

Xia Yan's condition was essentially to make Freya his subordinate, but becoming a subordinate was better than dying immediately, so Freya readily agreed.

Now that the terms had been agreed upon, Xia Yan immediately took Bai Luo and Freya's props and costumes.

"Oh, right, little one."

Xia Yan had a good impression of Bai Luo, so he gave him a chance to choose.

"The deal we just made only bought your lives up to this point. If you and your servants continue to harm me, I won't hold back anymore. So, now, do you want to use the teleportation orb to leave? I promise I won't attack you."
