Miss Surtr will ignite the world

The Sun King was no match for her; the Lion King spoke as if it were a matter of course.

"As for the other round tables, I have other plans."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the crowd below the throne.

"Any further objections?"

It sounded like a question, but the tone left no room for argument.

"No, it is an unparalleled honor for me to go to war with the king."

Gawain responded in a triumphant tone, as if he had received some great honor.

"Your subordinate will surely bring you victory."

Lancelot declared this.

The others nodded in agreement. The king had spoken, so all they had to do was carry it out.

the other side.

The giant object traced an arc in the air, and the long distance of the mountain road was shortened to the shortest distance by flying. In no time, it had crossed several mountain peaks and arrived outside the mountains.

Surtr sat atop Big Meow's head, his gaze fixed on the ground, where he saw five figures preparing to enter the mountains.

The Sacred Round Table: Chapter Twenty - Turns Out He's a Great Hero!

Five figures.

Aside from the Chaldea duo and Bedivere, there are two other people on the ground.

A gaunt man in a skull mask and a black-haired archer with a cheerful smile.

“Those are Cursed Arm and Lord Arash, my companions. I sought help from their village after the Sphinx arrived, and I didn’t expect it to be so quick.”

Bai Mao explained that it would take ordinary people at least two days to travel between the two villages, but it had only been less than half a day since she sent the message, which shows that there is a difference between followers and ordinary people.

Cursed Wrist, he's an old acquaintance.

Surtr sighed inwardly, recalling that the first Servant she killed during the Fifth Holy Grail War was Cursed Arm.

Unfortunately, the other party probably won't remember her, otherwise she could ask what she thought.

It probably won't be anything nice.

The Sphinx's enormous size was too conspicuous even in the darkness, and it attracted the attention of the people below even before they got close.

Arash instinctively reached for his longbow, but upon seeing the figure sitting on his head, he asked the three men a question.

"Are those your companions?"

"Yes, that's Miss Surtr, we're here."

Ritsuka nodded and waved towards the air.

“Senior, I think Miss Surtr should have seen us long ago.”

Mashu reminded her.

"Of course I know, I just wanted to do it."

"Is that a Sphinx under her feet? Why was the Sun King's pet tamed by her?"

Bedivere's tone was filled with doubt, not understanding why such a bizarre thing had happened.

"Oh, Lord Cursed Wrist, what are you doing scratching your head?"

"I don't know why, but seeing that person always gives me a headache."

The curse on the wrist was completely incomprehensible.

"He's probably sick. Lord Cursed Wrist's body is still too weak, haha."

"Of course, I can't compare to Lord Arash, but do Servants also get sick?"

As they spoke, a breeze came from the air.

The Sphinx flapped its enormous wings and gracefully landed in front of the group, lowering its proud head to the ground so that the esteemed Miss Surtr could alight from the carriage.

Very nice.

Surtr silently expressed his approval of Big Meow and lightly leaped off the cat's head.

"Miss Surtr, is this the monster that attacked you just now? Did you subdue it?"

Ritsuka approached Surtr, using him as a shield, and peered behind her at the still-wounded Mimi.

"I didn't subdue him; we just had a friendly negotiation and decided to use him as my temporary mode of transportation. Besides, he's too ugly; I don't want such an ugly subordinate."

Surtr showed a look of disgust.

As a pure XP enthusiast, the Sphinx, a monster, obviously doesn't fit her aesthetic. The only one she finds appealing is the Starry Sky version, which is called the Royal Seed. She just doesn't know if Ramses II would be willing to part with it.

"The Sphinx, a being that transcends magical beasts and mythical beasts, and sometimes even surpasses dragons, is actually considered ugly. Is this the world of the strong?"

The doctor's voice came through the bracelet, his tone subtle.

"Leaving that aside for now, why is the Sun King's pet here? Has he started a war with the Hassans?"

Bedivere asked.

"Yes, because Bai Mao captured her men, the other side sent troops."

Surtr gestured with his chin toward the woman on the other side, who seemed to be explaining something to the two men.

"I'm surprised you didn't have a conflict."

It seems like the two of them were planning to go into the mountains together, and they seem to be getting along quite well?

"Actually, there was some friction with Mr. Cursed Arm at the beginning, but fortunately Mr. Arash stopped it."

"Mash said."

After witnessing Surtr's attack, they initially planned to go into the mountains to investigate, but before they had gone far, two Servants arrived. Hassan, named Cursed Arm, was very hostile towards them, but fortunately, Arash stopped him.

"However, after learning that we were the ones who caused trouble in the Holy City, Mr. Cursed Wrist's attitude suddenly became friendly, and he even said that he must see what the person who blew up the Holy City looks like."

Judging from his tone, he probably envied Surtr for doing what he wanted to do but couldn't.

"I see."

Seemingly sensing their gazes, Arash turned around, raised his right hand, and waved to her.

"Hello, I am Arash, Arash Kamang, the Archer's Servant."

"Oh, you're a great hero! Hello, I'm Surtr."

Surtr responded politely, but Arash always felt that the other's words "great hero" contained some profound meaning.

Hmm, it inexplicably sends a chill down my spine, giving me an urge to unleash my Noble Phantasm.

Could the pressure from this girl have reached this level? Truly worthy of being the legendary Fire Giant King.

Arash was shocked.

I've learned something new.

“I am Hassan of the Cursed Arm. Since even that gloomy and stubborn Hundred Faces acknowledges you, then we will have no objections.”

As Zhou Wan spoke, it drew protests from Bai Mao behind him.

"What do you mean by gloomy and stubborn?!"

“It’s not good to talk here, let’s go to the village first.”

Mr. Cursed Wrist ignored the angry Bai Mao behind him.

"Tsk, then come on over, but don't expect me to have anything to offer you."

Is the situation bad?

As if realizing something, Cursed Wrist asked.

"Oh, it's terrible. The residents in the mountains have been surviving on just a little water and salt for three days now, and several people have already starved to death."

When this topic came up, Bai Mao scratched her purple hair, her tone slightly irritated.

The mountainous region was already barren, and the appearance of the desert outside made the means of obtaining food even more scarce. In addition, they had to take in refugees, which made their already impoverished lives even worse.

"I had planned to trade Nitocris for some food with the Sun King, but as you can see, the result was as you see."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on the Sphinx lying on the ground.

"No wonder you wanted to capture Nitocris, but given that king's personality, he probably wouldn't accept threats."

It has to be said that this was a terrible move; the fact that the opponent didn't fire directly was already a sign of respect for Wang Ha.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. The only places on this land where we can still find supplies are the Holy City and the Sun King."

A hundred faces sighed.

In fact, it's not just her village; every village is facing food problems, some faster, some slower.

"I see. We do have some supplies, but it's clearly not enough for an entire village."

Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a glance, but could only shake their heads helplessly.

"The only way is to defeat the Lion King as soon as possible and retrieve the Holy Grail. If the singularity disappears, this land will return to normal, and their lives will go back to normal."

"Yes, but we still need to be careful, after all, there is still a significant gap in strength between us and the Lion King."

Roman reminded him.

Obviously, it will be difficult to achieve this in a short period of time, and it is unknown how many people will be able to hold on until then.

"By the way, how many people are in your village?"

Surtr stroked his chin and asked.

"About three hundred people."

A hundred different answers.

"If it's just for a short time, I can provide you with some food."

The Holy Round Table: Chapter Twenty-One - Is This Holy Grail Malnourished?

[Client: Residents of Nishino Village]

[Mission: Starving Refugees]

[Mission Objective: The starving refugees are eagerly awaiting their owner. Quickly feed them succumb to hunger and help them escape starvation. PS: We recommend purchasing the A-rank Noble Phantasm, Horn of Abundance—one item solves all your problems.]

[Quest Reward: 160 Primogems]

How out of my mind must I be to buy something worth 6666 just for a task that rewards 160?

Surtr looked at the unserious system introduction and couldn't help but complain in her heart, not to mention that this thing was of no use to her at all, as this body did not have a strong need for food.

"Miss Surtr, I've brought it."

Bai Mao's voice rang in my ears. Inside the house, the other person was carrying a water vat that was almost as tall as a person as he walked in from outside.

Incidentally, they are currently in the village of Baimao.

Since it was already night, their arrival did not attract any attention. A group of people were gathered in a room with torches lit, and a water vat was placed in the center, which looked like they were performing some kind of cult ritual.

"What are you going to do with the water tank? Are you going to conjure up a tank of water for them?"

Ritsuka asked.

"Hmm, they'll probably look similar. By the way, don't overreact later, that's not what you're looking for."

"Why are you being so mysterious?"

Ritsuka muttered to herself, focusing intently on Surtr's performance.

She felt that the other party would probably bring out some magical props again, just like before.

The result was exactly as she expected, but what the other party brought out truly exceeded her expectations.

In the blink of an eye, a golden cup appeared in the other person's hand.

The shape and color looked so familiar to Ritsuka.

At the same time, Roman's surprised and puzzled voice came from the bracelet.

"It's a Holy Grail reaction, Fujimaru. A Holy Grail reaction has been detected near you. But it's strange, the output of this Holy Grail is unusually low. What's going on? Is it malnourished?"
