Lin Tian wasn't the type to dwell on problems. Since the root of the problem lay with Flick, finding him would solve the issue.

After saying that, Lin Tian asked Ace to lead the way and headed towards the direction where Flick had appeared.

......

"Berserker! Berserker! Where are you?"

In the woods, Ilya wiped away her tears, stopped, and began to call out to Hercules.

Since Hercules had not previously joined the island as a formal resident, his location is not shown on the mobile map.

However, he is Illya's Servant, and as her Master, Illya can still sense Heracles's general direction.

"Berserker! Berserker! Berserker!"

She now sensed Hercules was around her, but she couldn't see him despite calling out to him for a long time. She felt a little flustered, thinking that Lin Tian didn't want her to leave.

They somehow notified the merchant named Flick, who then kidnapped Hercules.

Having received no response from Hercules, Ilya became increasingly convinced that her guess was correct. A sense of unease began to creep into her heart.

"Berserker! Where are you! Come back to me!"

The island's will restricted Illya from using any magic. In her panic, however, she still raised her arm, unwilling to give up, attempting to forcibly summon Heracles to her side using the power of a Command Spell.

Command Seals are unique marks bestowed upon participants by the Greater Grail in the Holy Grail War. They possess powerful magical energy and absolute authority to command Servants to obey.

Each magician participating in the Holy Grail War possesses a Command Seal composed of three different symbols, each symbol forcing the Servant to execute the Master's commands.

No matter what situation the Master is in, they can summon Servants from far away to their side by using the power of Command Seals.

Ilya took advantage of this, and in this moment of despair, she tried to forcibly summon the missing Hercules to her side in order to protect herself.

"As expected... I can't use Command Seals..."

The three Command Seals on the back of her hand did not diminish, and Hercules did not appear beside her. Illya was somewhat desperate, and her body went limp as she knelt down, supporting herself with her hands.

A sense of helplessness overwhelmed her, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.

As a magician from the Einzbern family and a participant in this Holy Grail War, possessing the strongest Servant, Berserker, she felt her own weakness for the first time.

"So I'm nothing... a tool my family wanted to use to win the Holy Grail War... a piece of trash abandoned by my parents..."

When people feel most helpless, it is often the moment when negative energy erupts.

Ilya, the half-human, was no exception.

Looking up at the gradually darkening sky, Ilya's face was filled with despair.

"No! This can't be done!"

Remembering her mother's words before she left, Ilya forced herself to stop trembling, stood up again, and walked forward. The despair and helplessness in her eyes disappeared, and her expression became resolute.

"Almost there! The Berserker is nearby, my senses are getting stronger and stronger!"

As she trudged through a dark thicket, Ilya endured the stinging pain of sharp branches slicing across her legs and struggled to move forward.

"what!"

Suddenly, Ilya felt herself trip over something, and her whole body lost its balance and fell forward.

As she slowly got up and looked back, she saw that what had tripped her was a thick arm. Ilya's pupils contracted instantly; she recognized whose arm it was.

"Berserker! What's wrong? Berserker! Wake up!!! 5555, I can't live without you!"

Ilya shook Hercules' arm with all her might, but no matter how she called out to him, Hercules, lying on the ground, remained unresponsive.

Chapter 70: Flick, who can Apparate, guess who he learned this spell from?

"Who is it? Berserker is clearly the strongest Heroic Spirit, so why is he unconscious?"

In despair, Ilya released Hercules's arm and buried her face in his chest, weeping.

Overwhelmed with grief and utterly exhausted, Ilya wept until she fell asleep on Hercules's body...

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of several people talking came from the surrounding area.

"Brother, Sister Ilya is just ahead! Let's hurry!"

"Don't worry, Erza. Illya's location hasn't changed. We'll see her soon!"

"But brother, Flick said there are wasps around here, and even Uncle Hercules was stung unconscious by a bee. What if Sister Illya encounters wasps too? We only brought some healing medicine!"

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you!"

Seeing Erza clutching his hand and running desperately forward, Lin Tian shook his head helplessly and quickened his pace.

Not long ago, on their way to find Flick, they happened to run into Flick, who was going to Little Bean's place to buy healing medicine.

After hearing that Hercules had been stung unconscious by wasps twice, Lin Tian and his companions immediately returned the way they came and went into the shop to buy a treatment from Xiaodou and the others.

On the way, Lin Tian asked Longx how he got to the island, but the answer he received greatly disappointed him and his companions.

Aside from Ace's slight disappointment, Kikyo's face remained expressionless, while Erza seemed quite happy.

This way, Ilya can clear up her misunderstanding of Lin Tian.

"Brother, look! Isn't that Sister Ilya and Uncle Hercules over there?"

The two walked a little further and came to an area with cedar trees and bushes. Erza, with her sharp eyes, spotted the two lying on the ground and excitedly shook off Lin Tian's arm, running towards Ilya and the others.

"Slow down! There are bushes all around, be careful not to get hurt!"

Although the sharp thorns in the bushes wouldn't scratch Erza's legs, being scratched by them would still cause her real pain.

Seeing that Erza didn't listen to him, Lin Tian sighed helplessly and followed her.

"Sister Ilya! Uncle Hercules! Wake up!"

Arriving beside Hercules' enormous body, Erza nudged the two of them with her hands while calling out to them, hoping they would wake up quickly.

"Erza, don't waste your energy. Lonks said that it takes half an hour to wake up after being stung by a wasp. If he's right, Hercules will wake up in about three minutes."

As for Ilya... let her sleep a little longer. It'll save her from waking up and giving me a hostile look.

Lin Tian wasn't being petty or vengeful by not wanting Ilya to wake up immediately. It was simply because Longx hadn't decided to come with them after arriving at the plaza.

Without Lance explaining to Illya, Lin Tian believed that Illya, once awakened, still wouldn't believe him. Even with Erza by her side, it would be futile.

It would be better to let Ilya continue sleeping and wait for Hercules to wake up so that he can tell Ilya the truth.

After all, Illya now considers him an enemy. She won't believe what she says, but she'll definitely believe what Hercules, as a Servant, says.

......

Let's rewind to twenty minutes ago...

"Lungx, did Hercules ask you how you got here?"

"He asked me, and I explained the situation to him. Because the radar at your adorable Rabbit Island airport malfunctioned, I had no choice but to change color and come here."

After hearing Flick tell Hercules how he got to the island, the group felt relieved.

Lin Tian immediately decided to take the healing medicine and go find Illya and Hercules himself, while the others went to catch insects. However, Erza wanted to come along to find Illya, and because Lin Tian doted on her so much, he acquiesced to Erza's idea.

......

"What an amazing race! They can actually use color-changing to get themselves here. They're definitely characters from a casual game; they can't be understood with common sense."

Silently calculating the time it would take for Hercules to awaken, Lin Tian recalled his conversation with Flick. As a chameleon, Flick naturally possessed the ability to change his body color to match the surrounding environment, thus camouflaging himself.

But Lin Tian never expected that Flick's color-changing skill could actually be used as a teleportation skill.

Imagine a certain place in your mind, change the color of your skin to match the color of that place, and then merge yourself with the scenery to teleport yourself to that place.

What an incredible skill!

Everyone present was stunned and speechless upon hearing Flick's explanation. Some didn't even understand what color change or teleportation meant.

As for who it was, Lin Tian could only sigh and shake his head.

After all, it's normal for someone who can't even count correctly to not understand such advanced concepts.

......

Time passed second by second, and the last glimmer of sunlight in the sky had completely disappeared, leaving the entire island illuminated by starlight.

With Erza looking on with worry, Hercules, who was lying on the ground, finally moved!

"Uncle Hercules! You're finally awake! Look how swollen your eyes are!"

Erza, who had been anxiously waiting, was overjoyed to realize that Hercules had awakened.

"Uh... Erza... Lin Tian, ​​the wasps on your island are terrifying. I was stung twice and passed out. If Hera, the Queen of Gods, knew this, she would definitely throw a huge banquet and spread my embarrassing story everywhere!"

"Hmm? What's wrong with Ilya?"

Hercules sat up and slowly shook his head, noticing his Master Illya lying in his arms. He asked in confusion, a hint of wariness in his expression.

"She's fine...it was just a little misunderstanding. Take your medication first. I'll explain everything to you in detail later..."

Lin Tian took out some medicine from his backpack, walked up to Hercules, and handed it to him. After Hercules took the medicine, he began to recount what had happened.

......

"I see. I'm so sorry! Lin Tian, ​​actually Ilya is very timid. Ever since she came to the island, she has been having nightmares every night... The anxiety in her heart makes her suspicious of everything."

Hercules, the mighty god in Greek mythology, experienced more than Ilya had ever tasted in her entire life.

After arriving on the island with Ilya, he learned from Ace's words and from their conversation after he met Lin Tian, ​​that Lin Tian was not a bad person.

Chapter 71 What happened... This plot twist made me dig a villa out of my toes (Please vote!)

Ilya had asked him several times what he thought of Lin Tian and the others, and he had told Ilya his thoughts truthfully each time.

Although Ilya always nodded in agreement with Hercules's ideas, she wore a complicated expression when she looked at Lin Tian. She always felt that this island was too mysterious and must have some unspeakable secrets.

Sometimes, she did believe deep down that Lin Tian was genuinely good to her. But as a magician, a magician with the bloodline of Kiritsugu Emiya, she remained constantly vigilant of her surroundings...

"It's alright, don't wake Ilya up yet. Gently pick her up and take her back to the house... let her get some rest."

"Um..."

Hercules nodded, gently and slowly cradling the sleeping Ilya in his arms, nodded to Lin Tian and the others, and then walked towards their house.
