This is not an MMO game copy

It can be said that in the entire Romanian Holy Grail War, the sharpest spear and the strongest shield are concentrated in Karna alone. As long as the magic power supply can hold up, the little sun can kill all other heroic spirits in the red and black camps.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan swallowed nervously, and the humanoid mecha beside him was ready to go, ready to delay Karna at all costs to buy time.

It was not about buying time to turn around and run away, but about giving him the opportunity to use his magic power to activate another magic weapon (Sound of Life) and summon the dragon.

Perhaps only the dragon sword that nearly killed him in the previous 'copy' world could have broken through the golden armor, entangled the little sun in front of him, and protected his escape.

Looking at Karna standing in front of him, with a calm expression on his face, but not seeming to be in a hurry to attack, Xia Yan hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking:

"...Could it be that that war maniac and gambler have calculated all this?"

"No."

Karna said calmly:

"That illegally summoned Heroic Spirit didn't anticipate that Archer's Noble Phantasm's blanket attack wouldn't kill the target as he intended... I came here on my own. This was just a hopeless attempt, taking advantage of a chance opening, when the priest wouldn't notice."

"What did you say?"

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment.

"You heard correctly, unknown Master."

Karna's tone became soft and low, and then he casually raised his hand and suddenly threw the golden spear in his hand far away. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the distant woods and disappeared.

"Although I don't hold out much hope, fate has allowed us to meet now. Please believe me, I hold no ill will towards you... I will absolutely not take any action until my Master 'actively' issues an order to me."

Karna emphasized the word "active" and gestured.

"What did you... notice?"

Xia Yan looked at Karna in surprise.

He was not surprised why Karna now knew that his real master was suspected to be under the control of Amakusa Shiro.

After all, according to the setting, Karna has an A-level inherent skill called [Insight of the Poor], which allows him to see through the other person's personality and attributes, and will not be deceived by verbal excuses or deceptions.

Therefore, it is not impossible that he noticed that there was something wrong with Amakusa Shiro shortly after the start of the game, and that there was something strange about the current situation of the Master with whom he had a contract.

In the original plot of F/A, after the transfer of the Master-Servant Contract, he immediately stopped Tamiu from attacking the Empress and Amakusa Shiro, allowing his own Heroic Spirits to calm down. More importantly, it was to protect the original Master who was probably controlled by Semiramis with poisoned wine and imprisoned from the beginning after Amakusa Shiro's showdown.

Then think about Karna's initiative to drop his weapon.

Xia Yan suddenly had a bold guess.

"You're looking for me... is it related to what's going on in the castle?"

"Yes."

Karna nodded.

"I don't know what that priest is trying to do, but the Heroic Spirit that was illegally summoned is truly too dangerous. He thinks he can use the contract and Command Seals to control the life and death of someone you call a war maniac and a gambler. In my opinion, this is tantamount to... courting disaster."

"So, the Heroic Spirit that was illegally summoned is indeed the head of the Third Reich from decades ago?"

"Do not."

"what?"

"No, or rather, not entirely."

Karna put on a serious expression, looked at Xia Yan and said in a deep voice, word by word:

"I can't fully confirm this in a short period of time, and I don't have any evidence, but I can vaguely feel that the Heroic Spirit that was illegally summoned has only one-third of its spiritual power at most. It could be the madman who, when he was alive decades ago, triggered a world war and directly and indirectly caused the deaths of 70 million people."

"…What do you mean?"

Xia Yan's eyelids twitched. If he were a magician from the Type-Moon world, he might not be able to understand the hidden meaning of Karna's words. However, as a "traveler" with a God's perspective, who had enough knowledge about the Type-Moon world, especially the various works in the Fate series, after hearing such ambiguous words, a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind, and some bad associations emerged.

"I'm not too sure either."

Karna shook his head, and a look of hesitation and worry slowly appeared on his serious expression.

"It's impossible, but I can't be sure... Have you ever heard of it..."

"and many more."

Xia Yan suddenly interrupted Karna and asked under the gaze of the son of the sun god:

"Are you coming to me just to give me some warning, or do you want to use me to do something that you are unable to do because of the constraints of the contract and the Command Spell?"

"Yes, you are right."

After feeling surprised, Karna showed a relieved expression.

"So, this was a private transaction?"

"Yes."

"What's the price?"

Xia Yan looked at Karna seriously.

"You're not going to say that the price is to let me go here, right?"

"...Unknown Master, you are right, and I will indeed pay a 'price' that satisfies you."

Karna was silent for a moment, then he exclaimed in admiration, and then solemnly stated his real name and identity.

"My name is Karna, son of Surya, the sun god, and half-brother of Arjuna, son of Indra."

Then he said solemnly:

"Since this is a private transaction between you and me, you can ask me for whatever compensation you deem reasonable."

Having said that, it was no longer a simple hint, it was almost a clear statement of what he hoped Xia Yan would do.

"Even if I want you to die and withdraw from this Holy Grail War?"

Xia Yan stared into Karna's eyes.

"If my suspicions are true, it is better to return home now than to be bound by the Command Spells, the safety of the Contractor, and inadvertently commit a heinous crime."

Karna said indifferently:

"That assumes you have enough wisdom and vision to tell me what I'm worried about before I reveal the answer."

"If possible..."

Karna stared at Xia Yan.

"...This chance encounter, born of fate, may be the best solution chosen by destiny and karma."

"Okay—I want your golden armor, just like Indra asked you for it in the story when he took the form of a beggar."

Xia Yan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, made an exorbitant price, and uttered a word before Karna could speak.

"Beast."

"..."

Karna raised his head, and for the first time, his face, which had been indifferent and calm, showed obvious surprise and joy.

Then, the son of the sun god didn't say anything more, but raised his hands to take off the two golden wheels floating outside his shoulders, and pulled off the golden earrings from his ears, after letting out a muffled groan.

He threw the golden wheel and earrings to Xia Yan.

(PS: Now I can say that this original illegal summoned heroic spirit, only one-third of the spirit base is the Shampoo Man, and half of the remaining two-thirds are some kind of conceptual incarnation. Only the last one-third has problems. The situation is a bit similar to Kama. Strictly speaking, it can be said that it is online under the guise of the Shampoo Man, or it can be said that it has merged with the Shampoo Man. The last one-third also comes from a very high-ranking villain in the Christian system... I won't spoil the details, but the protagonist will guess what this last one-third is because of some unexpected changes later~)

Second copy: 48. Grandpa who teaches skills: Karna

When the two heavy golden wheels and golden earrings drew a parabola in the air and fell accurately into his hands.

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment.

So much so that when he caught the two golden wheels and golden earrings, he staggered and almost fell forward because of the sudden weight in his hands.

Fortunately, after reacting, Xia Yan immediately circulated the Tai Chi energy in his body and stabilized his body.

But he couldn't help showing a look of astonishment when he was holding up the two golden wheels and earrings, which weighed at least dozens of pounds together.

Although he knew that in the setting of the Fate series, Karna's temperament and character were considered very good among the Heroic Spirits, and there were stories in other world lines where he would strip off his own Noble Phantasm and give it to his Master, but was that too "generous" to him?

It's just like those old grandfathers who stayed under the cliffs and taught martial arts in ancient times.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan cast a puzzled look at Karna, who had a very obvious look of weakness on his face after forcibly stripping off the golden armor that was integrated with his body.

"You just believe me?"

"I just didn't have a choice."

Karna said calmly:

"You are also a Master. You should know what the mandatory order of the Command Spell means to the Servant."

"I might be able to resist a bit with the Noble Phantasm you hold and the anti-magic power granted by the Lancer class skills, but if three Command Seals were to issue a single order simultaneously, as long as the contract between Master and Servant is not severed, I would be completely powerless to resist."

Xia Yan was silent.

This is indeed a fact. If the class skill [Magic Resistance] is high enough, even if restricted by the Servant Contract, the Heroic Spirit is not unable to resist. However, at the end of F/Z, King Saber, who was completely unaware that the Greater Holy Grail was contaminated, even with the A-rank [Magic Resistance] skill that maximized his magic resistance and could even resist a single Command Seal, was still forced to use a curry stick to smash the materialized Holy Grail by Kiritsugu Emiya using three Command Seals in one breath.

He also vaguely remembered Karna's [Anti-Magic] skill level, but it was not as high as that of Arthur. However, the biggest flaw of Karna's golden armor was that it could not defend and resist interference from within itself.

"Why don't you try..."

"That's not necessary."

Karna shook his head and interrupted Xia Yan.

"That priest is so meticulous in his work that he wouldn't have given me this opportunity, especially since his Servant is a poisonous woman who's well versed in pharmacology. If the Black Camp's castle hadn't been captured by that illegally summoned Servant, causing chaos and the Greater Grail was about to fall into the hands of that madman and gambler's zombie army, forcing him to be alert and wary of that illegal Servant, there would have been no chance for us to meet."

Karna put on a serious expression and said solemnly:

"Furthermore, my golden armor is integrated with my body. If you can't remove it... you may not be able to inflict fatal damage on me and force me to withdraw from the Holy Grail War."

"?"

"Don't be surprised, you should be able to guess why I did this..."

Karna gestured in the direction of the fallen Yogdomirenia Castle.

"...Now is the best time to get me 'out', otherwise you might not have any chance later."

"I understand."

Xia Yan nodded.

What Little Sun wants to express is very clear.

He vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with Amakusa Shiro, and also discovered that there was something wrong with the Servant that was summoned in violation of the rules, but he was restricted by the Command Seal Contract and could do nothing.

If the plot of F/A could develop as it did originally, after Amakusa Shiro revealed his true intentions, Karna might have reluctantly approved of Amakusa Shiro's idea of ​​saving all of humanity, and accepted the contract transfer to fight for Amakusa Shiro while ensuring that his true Master's life would not be in danger.

but now……

...All I can say is that after being summoned to the present world, the Holy Grail will actively instill the necessary knowledge into the Heroic Spirit, ensuring that ///the ancient artifacts of past history have sufficient understanding of the current 'future' world. This mechanism is truly crucial.

As a demigod from the Age of Gods, Karna has sufficient knowledge of many secret matters in the Type-Moon world in other world lines outside of FGO, so he was able to notice that something was wrong with the illegally summoned Heroic Spirit.

As for why I insisted on exiting here.

First of all, this is indeed the best opportunity for him to leave.

Secondly...

"...Are you certain that after your exit, your 'defeat' will prematurely trigger distrust between the priest you mentioned and the offending Heroic Spirit?"

"They wouldn't have trusted each other in the first place, and my sudden exit would surely give them the illusion that 'there's a powerful enemy nearby who can knock me out' and that 'the Black camp still has an unknown trump card that could turn the tables.' Archer and Rider, the only two of us currently able to move freely, will undoubtedly be ordered to guard the castle. This will give the Black camp a chance to regroup."

"Then, on one side, there's the united attacking team, and on the other, the defenders, each with their own ulterior motives... No matter what that priest intends to do with the Greater Holy Grail, the more Heroic Spirits retire, the greater the chance that he and the offending Heroic Spirit will suddenly turn against each other and backstab him!?"

"Yes."

Karna sighed.

"So, if possible, please give me a grand enough exit ceremony, preferably one that can be seen by the castle as well."

"Okay, as you wish."

Xia Yan weighed the golden wheel and golden ring in his hand, looked at Karna deeply, and did not ask about certain things that the other party had not said. He interrupted the mana supply of the magic weapon [Error of No Return] and cancelled the appearance of the humanoid mecha behind him.

Then, he injected all his own magic power into another magic weapon (Sound Remains) recorded on the magic weapon interface.

"I'll send you off in the most grand way possible."

As Xia Yan's voice deepened, along with the continuous influx of Tai Chi energy from the Shangqing Realm, a strong wind suddenly blew around them.
