Question, Understand, Become a Holy Lord

Dragon blood is highly poisonous, let alone dragon meat. Angers has lived for over a hundred years and has never heard of anyone wanting to eat dragon meat!

"Sister Kikyo, what should we do with such a big dragon?" It was also the first time that Eri actually saw a pure-blooded dragon appear in front of her, although it was a dead pure-blooded dragon.

Judging from their aura, they should be third generation. Standing up, they should be about fifteen meters tall. They can definitely be called two giant beasts. The scales on their bodies still retain their warmth and luster, as if they had died not long ago.

"For a full dragon banquet, there will be at least a dozen dishes. Are you trying to tire us to death?" Kikyo didn't expect that the game was about to end, but Bai Hen could still come up with such a fancy thing. For a moment, she didn't know where to start.

"In the end, you have to complete a total of eight dishes. There is no limit to the dish form or the part of the food that can be used. The time limit is 24 hours. In the end, the five judges will still make comments and votes. The one with the most votes wins."

As Bai Hen finished speaking, a huge hourglass appeared in the air.

"I declare that the fourth round of the Chef King Competition Finals - the Dragon Banquet, has officially begun!"

The hourglass began to tick, and fine sand quietly fell to the bottom, marking the beginning of the game.

"Fuck, give it your all. This competition depends on you. I've let you paddle for so long just for times like this!" Angers roared at Flamel.

"Me? What can I do?" Flamel said that he was just a useless person who was waiting to win without doing anything. It would be better to hope that Fingel would graduate successfully than to expect him to succeed.

"Use your invincible alchemy to make this guy's meat edible!" This was the only solution Angé could think of at the moment.

"Why do you do this? Is there any rule that says you can't put poison in dishes? Or do you think our judges will be poisoned by the poison in just a little dragon meat?" Flamel said in surprise.

"Oh..." Angers was choked by Flamel's question, but then he reacted as if, indeed, what he said might be correct?

"My old buddy, I knew you were a genius!" Angers patted Flamel's shoulder excitedly, and once again felt that the decision to force him to join his team was absolutely right.

"Then let's act quickly. It's best to start cooking several dishes at the same time. I don't know how long it will take to stew the dragon meat. Is this piece considered tenderloin?" Flamel had already taken out Ange's folding knife and gestured at the dragon corpse in front of him, wondering where to start the cut.

"Eri, go turn up the heat to maximum." Kikyo's movements were much faster. While Ange was shocked at Flamel's genius brain, Kikyo had already successfully removed a large piece of meat from the dragon's hind leg.

The deadly poison that troubled Ange at the beginning was no longer a problem under the field of [Word Spirit·Judgment]. Kikyo used the judgment as accurately as a physician controlling a scalpel to kill all the poison contained in the dragon's scales and flesh, and obtained a piece of dragon meat with skin that was still beating.

After cutting the dragon meat into pieces and having Eiry put it into the pot to blanch it, Kikyo then took a piece of dragon meat from the dragon's head, belly, tail, spine, claws, and wings, where she thought the meat had the best texture, and gave them to Eiry to blanch them all.

Then Kikyo took out a small piece of dragon tendon from the dragon corpse. At this point, all the ingredients needed for the eight dishes were ready.

"Flamel, can't you move faster? Look, they have already officially started the production, but you have been controlling my body for so long and have only taken out two pieces of meat. It seems that life in the academy has made you too comfortable!" Angé scolded his old friend who had not exercised for a long time.

"It's not about which side cooks faster. These two pieces of meat can make eight dishes for you. Instead of staring at me, you might as well think about what to do." Flamel was also very resentful. It was already quite efficient for him to control Ange's old arms and legs. What else did he want him to do?

"Get lost. If I don't keep an eye on you, who will provide you with vision?" At this time, Angers began to feel that the way of exchanging body control was too painful.

"Then just watch quietly and don't disturb me while I'm working." Flamel dug out a piece of dragon meat from the dragon's back with difficulty and threw it towards Angers.

He doesn't have an ability as useful as [Word Spirit·Judgment]. Although he is wearing [Dragon Blood Armor·Black Sun], his only weapon is Ange's small folding knife, which is not convenient to use.

"I say, Ange. When did you change your folding knife? You use it to slay dragons but just to scratch their itch. It's not as intimidating as a kitchen knife." Flamel had wanted to complain a long time ago. Ange's only weapon was a pocket folding knife. I wonder if he did it to kill more dragons or more people.

"Stop talking nonsense. I can smell the aroma of meat coming from the other side." Angé was speechless and could only change the subject.

After a long period of blanching, Kikyo and Eri worked in perfect harmony to decide the owners of each piece of dragon meat, while Ange and Flamel finally finished preparing the ingredients while bickering with each other.

Ange originally had the idea of letting Flamel use [Word Spirit·Eternity] to sabotage the opponent, but Kikyo and Eri's progress was too fast. If they both sabotaged the opponent, they would definitely lose in terms of the completion of the dish. So he had to give up this idea and concentrate on processing the dragon meat.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the progress on Kikyo and Eri's side was not smooth. After all, the nature of dragon meat was very different from any food they had handled before. During the cooking process, they had to constantly adjust the dishes due to constant unexpected situations. During this time, Kikyo even cut meat from the dragon corpse and cooked it again.

There were more problems on Ange and Flamel's side. Although Flamel cooperated with Ange in using alchemy to process the dragon meat, the effect and convenience were far inferior to the simplicity and speed of [Word Spirit·Judgment].

However, Flamel's alchemy has something that [Word Spirit·Judgment] cannot match, that is, he can use alchemy to make up for it when he fails halfway, thus greatly saving the time to start over.

The sand in the hourglass flows slowly as time goes by, and the players on both sides are competing fiercely without stopping.

This final was actually the first time since the start of the second stage of the knockout rounds that both players were focused on the game rather than on preventing their opponents from competing. It can be said that the game showed style, results, level and joy.

"Time is up. Please invite our two contestants to present their works and let our judges comment on them one by one." Bai Hen's voice broke the silence that had lasted for more than ten hours, and the fourth round of competition finally came to an end.

"First of all, the works of the players from Angers and Flamel."

"Grilled dragon chops, pan-fried dragon meat, dragon meat stewed in red wine, Provencal stew, dragon liver pate, sauerkraut dragon meat and sausage pot, Tartar dragon meat, and stewed dragon leg meat, please enjoy." Angers divided all his dishes into five equal portions and placed them in front of the five judges one by one.

After tasting the dishes one by one, the judges did not rush to give scores, but chose to continue tasting the eight dishes of dragon meat made by Kikyo.

"Please enjoy our service" "Jade-like dragon tendons, dragon feet in abalone sauce, Kung Fu dragon meat, crispy braised dragon fillet, braised dragon tenderloin, flavorful dragon skewers, dragon meat soup, stir-fried dragon wings." As a British man, Ange cooks only French food because there is nothing British food can cook.

All the dishes cooked by Kikyo are Chinese cuisine because she knows that Bai Hen prefers Chinese cuisine. Therefore, the cuisine that she spent the longest time learning is Chinese cuisine, and it is also the cuisine that she is best at now.

The judges of the Black Shadow Corps did not give Kikyo a break just because she was the mistress. They also began a strict evaluation and after carefully tasting each dish, they began a heated discussion.

"I think the mistress and the others did a better job. The other side did not bring out the characteristics of dragon meat at all. It was just a forced imitation!"

'But I think the taste in Angers is more powerful. The poison contained in dragon meat adds a lot of flavor to each dish.'

"You said you are poisonous, so how can you still be considered a dish?"

'Why not? As long as it tastes good, that's all.'

'That makes sense, but the production in Angers is too crude, and the processing of ingredients is also poor. I don't think it's acceptable.'

After a brief debate, the judges finally announced Kikyo and Eri's victory with a vote of three to two.

Chapter 146: Prayers from Another World

"I won! Oh my..." Eiry jumped up happily and wanted to throw herself into Kikyo's arms, but fell heavily to the ground.

"Has it finally returned to normal?" Kikyo looked at Eiry's embarrassing state and realized that the confusion of consciousness had ended and they had now returned to normal.

"After trying my best, we still come in second place this time?" Angers said unwillingly, and then he and Flamel turned into a point of light and left the stage regretfully.

After completing its mission, this dream space lost its value, turned into nothingness and disappeared from the world.

"How was it? Did you have fun?" Bai Hen hugged Kikyo, who had returned to reality, and asked while sniffing her scent.

It has been a long time since he came back from Jackie Chan Adventure World and was separated from Kikyo for such a long time.

"It's a very interesting game." Kikyo responded with a smile.

"Can Eri continue to participate next time?" Eri asked excitedly. Although she was hugging Kikyo's thighs almost the entire time during this game, she still had a lot of fun.

"I will definitely tell you when there is a game suitable for Eri to participate in." Eri could hear that Bai Hen meant to say no.

But Huili was not disappointed. Bai Hen had never let her down. Almost all of her wishes had been fulfilled by Bai Hen. Thinking of this, Huili suddenly felt that maybe she was too greedy.

"Eri, this game took so long, you should take a break." The second round of the game lasted exactly two full days, during which Eri did not take a break at all.

Although not sleeping for two days is not a big deal considering Eri's physical condition, Eri's life used to be extremely regular. She always went to bed early and got up early when nothing unexpected happened. Now, after hearing what Kikyo said, she instantly felt sleepy.

"Good night, Sister Kikyo, Lord Baihen, Eiry will go to rest first." Eiry rubbed her eyes and said with a hazy look.

"Remember to wash up." Kikyo waved her hand and reminded Eri.

"Yeah." Eri agreed obediently and then left.

"Isn't it time for us to take a break? I haven't been able to hug you for two whole days, and I feel like I'm about to have withdrawal symptoms." Bai Hen said comfortably while hugging Kikyo.

"It's better to mean it literally when you say rest." Kikyo knew what Baihen was thinking, and slapped Baihen in annoyance.

"You've been working hard for two days. Let me help you relax. How can this not be considered a rest?" Bai Hen grabbed Kikyo's little hand and played with it.

"At least you have to wait until I wash up..." Kikyo said in a weak voice.

"It just so happens that I haven't bathed for two days. Let's do it together!" Bai Hen said, then stood up holding Kikyo and headed towards the bathroom.

Kikyo put her hands on Baihen's neck without resisting. After all, she hadn't had any close contact with Baihen for two days, and she missed Baihen's smell and body very much.

The battle started in the bathroom, then in the living room, to the balcony, and finally on the bed. Bai Hen specifically gave Eri a hint not to disturb him and Kikyo after she woke up, and then he fell asleep peacefully while holding Kikyo.

-----------------

"I'll leave Sakura in the care of you. I'm grateful that the Matou family is willing to accept her, otherwise I don't know what to do." Toosaka Tokiomi held Toosaka Sakura's hand and said respectfully to Matou Zouken.

"That's impossible. My useless descendants have no talent for magic at all. If you were not willing to adopt your daughter to me, the inheritance of the Matou family might have been cut off." said the short, hunchbacked Matou Zouken, with a bald head, limbs as skinny as a mummy, and a sharp gleam in his deep eye sockets.

He was wearing a kimono of ultramarine and dark gray, holding a wooden cane, and always had an unpleasant smell of corruption on him. At this moment, he looked up and down at Tousaka Sakura with cold eyes, and a satisfied expression appeared on his haggard face.

Toosaka Sakura was frightened by the look in Matou Zouken's eyes that treated him like merchandise, so she shrank behind Toosaka Tokiomi, but was pulled in front of him by the envoy.

"It's a blessing from God that both of my daughters have amazing talent in magic, but it's also beyond my expectations. The protection of the Tohsaka family can only be given to one of them. If we leave her alone, she will definitely be involved in various abnormal events in the future." Tohsaka Tokiomi touched Tohsaka Sakura's hair with a complicated expression. Although he didn't know if this was right, he had no choice.

Both Toosaka Sakura and Toosaka Rin have extremely high adaptability to magic in their blood. They need to understand magic and practice it themselves in order to deal with the devil in their blood. There is no other way.

However, the Toosaka family has only one magic seal, and it can only be given to one child. The one who does not become the heir will be caught up in all kinds of strange events because of the devil in his body. It is hard to say whether the one who explores magic alone without the magic seal can survive a series of abnormalities.

Especially since Sakura Toosaka's magic attribute is an extremely rare fictional magic attribute - "imaginary number". If she is unfortunately discovered by the Magic Association, the association will be very happy to soak her in formalin in the name of "protection", and call it "sealing designation".

Toosaka Tokiomi was in great torment because of this. No matter what he thought or what choice he made, it seemed to be a dead end.

However, there is always a way out. Although it may be a little immoral to think so, Toosaka Tokiomi is very glad that the Matou family has not crossed the threshold of bloodline decline that occurs every 300 years in a magician family. Matou Zouken is also worried about the heir, which allows Toosaka Tokiomi to find a way to keep both children alive and embark on the path of magic.

So the two sides colluded with each other and hit it off, and decided to adopt Sakura Toosaka into the Matou family to inherit the Matou family's magic seal. The Matou family could continue, and Sakura would not waste her talent.

At least in Tōsaka Tokiomi's opinion, this is the most correct choice.

"Sakura, from now on you are a member of the Matou family." Toosaka Tokiomi pushed Sakura towards Matou Zouken and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest problem that had been bothering him for a long time was finally solved. Next, he should prepare for the Holy Grail War with all his strength.

Toosaka Sakura, no, Matou Sakura who has now changed her last name to Matou was looking at Matou Zouken in front of her with fear, and couldn't help but look back at her father with hope, hoping that he was just joking and would take her away from here immediately.

"Excuse me." Tōsaka Tokiomi gave his daughter a final look with complicated eyes, then said goodbye to Matou Zouken and left.

"Dad..." Ying looked at the direction her father left in despair. The fear and helplessness that surged from deep in her heart completely overwhelmed her.

"Let's go, little one. From now on, your name will be Matou Sakura." Matou Zōken took Sakura's hand with satisfaction and walked towards the Matou family. Although Sakura's "imaginary number" attribute was not suitable for the Matou family's magic, her aptitude for magic was ridiculously high.

As long as she undergoes certain transformation, with her qualifications she will surely shine in the Holy Grail War and help me realize my long-cherished wish of immortality!

Matou Zouken was not interested in playing any family games. Anyway, the girl could not escape from his control. Now he just wanted to complete the transformation of Matou Sakura as soon as possible and cultivate her into a tool for him to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

So after bringing Sakura back to the Matou family, Zouken Matou threw her aside and started preparing in the basement to transform Sakura Matou's insect nest.

Ying huddled helplessly in the corner. The young girl had no idea why her father abandoned her to this scary old man with a horrible face who looked at her with eyes devoid of any human emotion.

"God, if you can hear my prayers, please save me... I want to go back to my mother, I want to be with my sister." Sakura prayed helplessly, not knowing where to seek help, she could only pray to the illusory god.

-----------------

"?" Bai Hen woke up from his dream. He seemed to have heard some voice in his dream just now. Having been tricked by the Holy Lord once, he woke up in an instant and began to check if there was anything abnormal on his body.

"What happened?" Noticing Bai Hen getting up, Kikyo woke up from her sleep and looked at Bai Hen with a dazed look.

"I seem to have received a message in a bottle from another world." Bai Hen said uncertainly.

"How is it?" When Kikyo heard the word "another world", she reacted immediately. She didn't want to experience the situation again where Bai Hen was pulled away from his dream alone.

"Don't worry, this is a cry for help from a little girl. She longs for salvation from God, but I don't know how she came to me for help." To put it in Western terms, this girl and I are destined to be together?

"When will you come back? I'll prepare food for you." Hearing this, Kikyo's tense nerves relaxed. She knew that Bai Hen would not lie to her about such a thing, or rather, he had not lied to her for a long time.

"No need to leave. I found an item in that world that is highly compatible with me. It can be used to carry my will and allow me to interfere with that world across time and space."

Endless energy, dark in nature, able to realize other people's wishes with my own will, and materialize souls. This kind of thing can naturally be done after touching the real Holy Grail - so the question is, who dares to say that I am not the Holy Grail? !

"Sakura, the gift I prepared for you is right down there. Just be a good girl and become what I expect you to be." Matou Zouken gave Sakura a disgusting look. He couldn't wait to see this girl become like him.

"No, no! God, please save me..." Sakura cried out in despair as she looked at the densely packed disgusting bugs in the basement.

Chapter 147 Tezcatlipoca

The gods heard the girl's call and responded.

A scarlet summoning circle appeared at Sakura's feet, and the huge magical power surging in it frightened Zouken Matou so much that he quickly hid in the corner.

"This is a magic circle to summon servants, how is this possible? Did the Holy Grail choose her? There is still a year left..." Matou Zouken looked at the three bright red Command Seals floating on the back of Sakura's hand in surprise, and felt a little uneasy.

"But even if you summon a servant, what can you do? The magic power in your body now is simply not enough to support the huge consumption required for the servant's activities. If you want to survive, you still have to accept my transformation obediently." However, although he was surprised, Zouken Matou was not panicked.

Even if Sakura Matou wanted to use her servants to deal with her, the little magic power in her body would be drained in an instant. Even if she summoned a bow-class servant that could act alone, Sakura's magic power would seriously drag down the servant's attributes. It would be easy for her to save her life with her own abilities.

However, the emergence of this situation also further illustrates how excellent Sakura's qualifications are. As long as he waits until the servant disappears and then captures Sakura and continues to transform her, Matou Zouken will be even more satisfied with Sakura. He seems to have seen the scene of Sakura retrieving the Holy Grail for him in the near future.

"Hyao!" One hears the voice before seeing the person. Before the light of the servant summoning circle fades away, a strange roar reaches the ears of Sakura and Matou Zouken.

"Hey! You are the Master? Please take care of me. Servant, Assassin, Tezcatlipoca. As you can see, I am an intelligent person. I like talking to others the most... But don't worry, I also like fighting very much. Don't be so nervous, let's have some fun, Master?"

A man with blond hair and wearing black clothes, who looks very handsome but gives people a rough, wild and weird feeling overall, as if he is out of place in the painting style and exudes a breath of freedom, appears on the stage!

Ying stared blankly at the smoke mirror in front of her. Although she didn't know what was going on, she could feel the connection between her and him established by the Holy Grail.

"Tezcatlipoca? How could such a being be summoned? !" Matou Zouken was already afraid to breathe, and could only raise such doubts in his heart.

Tezcatlipoca (IPA: /teskat ipo ka/), meaning "smoking mirror", is also called the Smoking Mirror. He is one of the most important gods in Aztec mythology. In the Aztec world, he is the most powerful god on earth. He rules over the first sun in Aztec legend.

He is the supreme divine power and the manipulator of human destiny.

The god of creation, the god of darkness, the god of night wind, the night sky, hurricanes, the north, the earth, obsidian, hostility, discord, ruler, divination, temptation, jaguar, witchcraft, beauty, war, conflict... His duties are innumerable, and he is in charge of the two opposing sides of common sense, as well as the vitality generated by the contradictions and conflicts between them.
