FATE: Target of Grand Master

Xia Yan's eyes darted around, and he immediately used his telepathy to respond to Morgan's plea for mercy, saying, "Morgan, please, give me some face."

Morgan was not initially satisfied with Xia Yan's clever approach, but then she thought that only she herself could hear it, so she let Xia Yan off the hook.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. I've added another layer of barrier outside the village's original barrier."

"I see. That is indeed a good idea."

Augustus praised it.

In this way, once the great god Skadi was healed, the village would have two layers of protection, making it virtually impregnable.

"Let's continue our previous communication. Show me your task information panel."

Augustus didn't question it at all and immediately pulled up his mission information.

Main Quest: Defeat the Lostbelt King.

Side Quest: Defeat ???

Xia Yan stroked his chin and asked, "This mission information hasn't changed since you entered this trial?"

Augustus countered, "Can the mission information change?"

"There will be situations like this, with question marks indicating hidden information. In my experience, it usually means you have to defeat something that wouldn't normally appear in this trial world. However, given your current condition, you probably don't have the energy to do side quests."

Augustus did not refute it.

In fact, before Xia Yan arrived, Augustus had already calculated that his chances of surviving this trial were less than 10%, and even if he had another Master with similar strength, his chances of survival would still be less than 20%.

However, after seeing Xia Yan's Servants, especially the one named Morgan, Augustus roughly estimated that his chances of survival were as high as 50%.

"Father, you are already twelve minutes and thirty-four seconds late."

Suddenly, a girl dressed as a maid, who looked about ten years old and had chestnut-colored pigtails, came in from the other side of the tent.

Upon seeing many unfamiliar faces in the tent, the chestnut-haired girl with pigtails began rapidly gathering information and comparing and analyzing it one by one.

"Servant Nero, Saber class, overall rating A."

"Servant Ereshkigal, Class Lancer, Overall Rating A+".

"Servant Euryale, Class Archer, Overall Rating C."

"Servant Anastasia, class Caster, overall rating A."

"Servant Morgan, Class Berserker, Overall Rating EX."

"The team's overall strength is rated A."

After a series of rapid, low murmurs, the chestnut-brown twin-tailed girl quickly bowed to Xia Yan and the others, then introduced herself: "Hello everyone, my name is Yancet. I am an autonomous mechanical doll created by my father. I possess a certain level of intelligence and often serve as my father's assistant in external communications and as a backup brain for data storage."

The appearance of Yennefer immediately aroused the curiosity of Xia Yan and others. If she hadn't introduced herself as a mechanical doll, Xia Yan would not have been able to distinguish her from her appearance, which shows how high the level of completion was.

Moreover, as a mechanical doll, Jenset's communication skills are even more fluent than Augustus's. Her statement that she is "an assistant to this researcher who is not good at communicating" is probably an understatement. It is more likely that this girl is the one who communicates in place of Augustus.

Seeing the surprised and curious looks on everyone's faces as they gazed at Jenset, Augustus, its creator, smiled for the first time.

"Yenset is my masterpiece, she..."

"Father, you didn't do anything rude just now, did you?"

Augustus was about to praise Jensette a few more times when his "daughter" questioned him.

"Um... I don't think I was too rude just now."

Augustus's tone clearly lacked confidence.

Jensette sighed and bowed again to Xia Yan and the others to apologize.

"My father is not good at speaking. If he made any of you uncomfortable just now, I apologize on his behalf."

It can only be said that without comparison, there is no harm.

Compared to Augustus's stiff, clumsy, and somewhat arrogant way of speaking, Jensette's way of communicating was like a breath of fresh air.

Xia Yan waved his hand, indicating that it was all in the past, then looked at the chestnut-brown twin-tailed maid-dress girl and asked, "You just mentioned all your abilities in your self-introduction, aren't you afraid we'll attack you?"

Yonsette shook his head and replied, "Since you have already sat in the tent and chatted with Father for a while, you are obviously not enemies. Moreover, with your strength, eliminating us would be a piece of cake. Whether I speak or not will not affect your decision, Master Xia Yan."

"Oh? You know me?"

Xia Yan didn't recall his name ever being mentioned by the group after the girl appeared.

"I don't know him, but based on the information we have, there is only one Master named Xia Yan who currently possesses Morgan, a super Servant. Therefore, matching identities is easy."

"It seems you're also in charge of intelligence gathering."

"Yes. As my father's backup brain, I will be responsible for collecting all available intelligence for him, including information from the world channel on my phone. My father is passionate about scientific research, but he is not good at anything else and often ignores his health, working overtime. At my strong request, my father equipped my hands with electric shock functions so that I can perform CPR on him if necessary."

As he spoke, Jensette opened his hands, and fine currents flowed between his fingers.

"What is your intention in telling us so much information?"

Looking at the girl who kept revealing information, Xia Yan felt that she couldn't be doing this without a purpose.

"It's not a matter of intention. It's simply about showing our sincerity in wanting to cooperate. If we had to pinpoint a purpose, it would be to slightly change any negative impressions you might have of us before."

"Young lady, you certainly know how to talk better than your inventor. Don't worry, we're not that petty; we've basically cleared things up already."

"Lord Morgan, you flatter me. I am but a mere mechanical puppet, certainly not as good as my father."

Jensert bowed for the third time, then said, "Actually, outside of scientific research, my father was also capable of eating, using the toilet, and bathing by himself..."

"Alright, Jensette, there's no need to bring these things up."

It can be seen that Jensette also served as a housekeeper and provided emotional support to Augustus. However, Augustus's self-care level was about the same as that of a child, so Jensette's praise sounded more like a nanny coaxing a child. This successfully aroused one of the few feelings of shame that Augustus, the researcher, had.

"Yes, Father. So what should we do next? I suggest we put aside our current research for now and have dinner with Master Xia Yan to get closer to each other."

Augustus was clearly still concerned about his research, but after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Alright, Jensette, I'll do as you say."
