"Mr. Zhao Si, are you planning to go?"

As Lily spoke, Zhao Si and Ai Ge were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other.

Iskandar, a cocktail party...isn't this the Banquet of the Three Kings? Zhao Si thought.

But what was Iskandar thinking? It was understandable that he invited Lily, after all, Lily was also a king. At most, it would become a banquet for the four kings.

But why did he invite me? I'm not a king, and if I really go there, I won't be able to say much about the king's affairs.

Zhao Si actually had a preconceived notion here. The original story was called the Banquet of Three Kings because all the attendees were kings. If Zhao Si had attended, it might have become a normal cocktail party.

Shaking his head, Zhao Si said, "Let's talk about it later. We have other things to do now. Lily, come with us tonight."

"What's going on? Master, are you going too?"

Lily looked at Aige curiously, and when she nodded, she said, "I understand. I will stay with the Master."

"Well, let's wait until night before setting off." Zhao Si nodded.

In fact, it was the same as the other party asking him to go alone. Zhao Si originally planned that since the other party wanted him to go at twelve o'clock in the evening, he would not do that. He would go early, or even go directly to the other party's lair during the day.

However, after thinking about it, Zhao Si felt that if he went, it would most likely be a wasted trip, so he didn't worry about the time to go.

Just do what it says.

In this way, time passed slowly, and soon it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening.

Zhao Si Ai Ge, Lily and the other two started heading towards Liudong Temple.

Chapter 248 Making the Deal

Ryudo-ji Temple is located outside of Miyama Town, nestled within Mount Enzo. Its location is Fuyuki City's largest spiritual vein, the source of the Great Holy Grail and the beginning of the Holy Grail War.

Zhao Si and the other two headed to Liudong Temple on time. Not long after, they saw the outline of the temple.

The three of them stood at the foot of the stairs that stretched upwards, looking up at the temple.

The night was gloomy and the unremarkable temple seemed a little quiet, but who would have thought that this unremarkable temple, located beneath the Yuanzang Mountain, had an astonishing number of formations carved into it?

Looking away, Zhao Si originally thought that he would only come here at the last moment of the Holy Grail War, but an unexpected situation made him come here earlier.

"I want to see what you are..."

As he spoke, Zhao Si took the lead and walked up the stairs.

Just then, the sound came again.

[Sure enough, you can't possibly come alone.]

There was a hint of regret and helplessness in his words.

Hearing this, Zhao Si paused and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

It's so funny. It was you who proposed the deal, not me. Why should I abide by what you said?

"Brother?" Ai Ge asked curiously. She had just taken a step when she found Zhao Si stopped.

"Could it be..."

Looking at the expression on Zhao Si's face, Ai Ge had some guesses in her mind.

[Come up alone, Zhao Si. Don't bring anyone else, especially that girl... Otherwise, our deal will be canceled.]

As expected, this guy is afraid of Ai Ge?

Zhao Si thought about it, but his feet started moving. At the same time, he did not take Ai Ge with him as the voice wished.

Just cancel it. Do you really think I’m here to trade with you?

Are you afraid of love songs? Wouldn't that be better?

[Believe me, you don’t want to miss out on this deal, or you might not be able to achieve a single one of your goals for a long time to come.]

"Oh? My target?"

Hearing this, Zhao Si smiled.

How come I don’t know what unattainable goals I have?

"You can tell me what the goal is. To be honest, I'm also quite curious."

[Really? Hehe...]

The voice smiled. Zhao Si originally thought there would be a follow-up, but the other party fell silent.

Zhao Si didn't care. He took Ai Ge and Lily, who had turned into a spirit and hidden herself, and walked up the stairs.

Just as they were about to reach the gate of Liudong Temple, that voice rang out again:

[Okay, stop, Zhao Si. Aren't you curious about who that target is? I'll tell you a name, and then you can decide whether or not to trade with me.]

Hearing this, Zhao Si paused, frowned and thought for a moment: "Tell me about it."

[Zhao Wu.]

Zhao Wu?!

Zhao Si was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression changed drastically. This guy even knew about Xiao Wu's existence?!

Who the hell is this guy!?

With a hesitant look on his face, Zhao Si felt a little bit of fear about this guy's existence for the first time.

Otherwise, you should just run away. Damn, it’s obvious that he is not someone to be dealt with. He even knows about Xiao Wu’s existence.

What's with this sudden feeling of being a big boss?!

Zhao Si took a step back and had already begun to think about retreating.

Life is important, retreat first!

[Hehe, you don't have to worry about me attacking you. I would like to, but unfortunately I don't have the ability to do so right now.]

"Besides, since you participated in the Holy Grail War, you must be here for the Holy Grail, right? So, wouldn't you end up here sooner or later?"

[Come on, if you want to continue trading, come in alone.]

said the voice.

Bullshit! I don't want the Holy Grail!

Zhao Si thought about it and felt a stir in his heart. It seemed that the other party didn’t know everything. From this perspective, his status would be greatly reduced.

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Si gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart.

"Aige, you and Lily stay here and wait for me, don't go in." Zhao Si said.

"Eh!?"

Aige was stunned. She knew that Zhao Si should have been talking to that mysterious voice just now, but she didn't expect Zhao Si to change his mind.

"Mr. Zhao Si?"

Lily also released her spirit form and asked in confusion.

"Things are a bit complicated and hard to explain at once. Anyway, I will go in by myself later. You guys wait here. If anything happens, I will make some noise and you can come in then." Zhao Si said.

The other party mentioned Zhao Wu, which meant he must have him in his sights, and he couldn't remain indifferent.

Seeing that Aige wanted to say something, Zhao Si pressed her head and soothed her:

"Don't worry. If there is any danger, with my strength, it will not be possible for it to kill me silently. You can just go in when the time comes."

"...Okay." Aige said after a moment of silence.

She didn't want Zhao Si to take any risks, but she also knew that the other party must have said something that Zhao Si couldn't refuse.

Otherwise, based on the Zhao Si she knew, it would be absolutely impossible for him to take such a risky move.

Zhao Si took a deep breath, looked at the quiet Liudong Temple in front of him, and walked in.

Ryudo Temple is not uninhabited. It is managed by the Ryudo family.

Without disturbing anyone along the way, Zhao Si found the passage leading to the large underground cave and walked in.

Following the dark passage, Zhao Si soon arrived at an open space.

This is the source of the Holy Grail War, where the Greater Holy Grail is located. Since the Holy Grail War has not yet ended and the conditions for the Greater Holy Grail to descend have not yet been met, this place seems very empty at the moment, with nothing here.

Frowning, Zhao Si looked around at the empty space. After a while, he said:

"I'm here, where are you? You wouldn't dare show up even at this point?" Zhao Si said sarcastically.

The sound echoed in the big cave. Zhao Si's face was calm, but his heart was tense and he was alert to everything around him.

"hehe...."

When he heard the laughter, Zhao Si immediately turned around and looked towards the direction where the sound came from.

In the darkness, a black figure appeared out of nowhere.

Yes, black.

It was pitch black all around, and one couldn't see one's hand in front of one's face. If it weren't for Zhao Si's practice, which gave him eyesight far superior to that of an ordinary person, he probably wouldn't be able to see the surroundings clearly.

But even so, in Zhao Si's eyes, the figure was shrouded in a darkness deeper than the night, making it impossible to see its specific situation.

"system!"

Zhao Si shouted in his heart, planning to find out this guy’s background first.

However, it would have been better if he hadn't watched it. After watching it, Zhao Si almost couldn't breathe and his heart stopped.

Damn you!

Zhao Si cursed in his heart.

What is this stuff!?

I thought that when I first met Aika Sajo, her condition was already outrageous enough.

But this guy in front of me, who knows what kind of thing he is, is even more outrageous. He opened the door in an outrageous way. It's outrageous to the extreme!

[Target:???

strength:? ? ?

characteristic:? ? ?

Status: Sealed (strength reduced by 100%)]

There were even more question marks than when Sha Tiao Aige was possessed by the boss. If it weren't for the last line, Zhao Si would have turned around and ran without stopping for a second.

But even so, we must remain vigilant at all times.

A white light flashed beside Zhao Si's hand, and Aomei appeared in his hand, looking at the other party vigilantly.

"hehe...."

The figure smiled and didn't care. He moved his head slightly. Zhao Si could clearly feel that the other party's eyes were on Aomei in his hand for a while.

"The sword is good, but the level is too low, it's only at the Nascent Soul stage, and its spirituality is a bit lacking. Did you forge it yourself?" asked the figure.

Zhao Si remained silent. The figure didn't seem to care about Zhao Si's answer and continued to talk:

"What a pity! It could have been much better. If I had taken three drops of the spirit child's heart blood and used it to feed the sword, perhaps its intelligence would have been even higher. Well, it would have been even better if I had used the whole thing to forge the sword."

When Zhao Si heard this, he frowned and felt disgusted.

Of course he knew what the spiritual child's heart blood was.

The so-called spiritual child does not refer to a child with abundant spirituality, but a child who has been born for less than a day.

As the name suggests, the spiritual child's cardiac blood is the blood from the heart of a newborn baby.

This kind of blood is said to contain all the spiritual essence of a child, and is perfect for forging magical weapons.

But this is an evil method. How could a normal person be so cruel as to use the blood of a newborn baby to forge a sword?

This guy is really not a good person!

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm already here, tell me about your so-called deal." Zhao Si said coldly.

"Haha, why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you curious about why I know your identity?" the man laughed.

You said it as if I was curious and you would tell me.

Zhao Si remained silent. If he talked too much to this kind of guy, he might fall into his trap at any time.
