Who are you calling a stable boy?!

"Well done, Zheng Jing."

Then, Gilgamesh slightly raised his eyes and tilted his chin up, as if he wanted to look past Zheng Jing and see the scenery behind him.

"Well done... a stable boy..."

"Hey? What are you doing—"

Zheng Jing glared and was about to tear off Gilgamesh's breastplate.

But as soon as he raised his hand, Gilgamesh had already completely turned into glittering particles and scattered in the night wind of Fuyuki Bridge.

"You Jinhua ham! You can't handle a one-on-one fight, can you!"

Scratching his ears and cheeks, grimacing, Zheng Jing leaned on his cane, making the Dongmu Bridge seem to sway, and pointed to the sky while cursing.

"You better not let me, Old Zheng, catch you again! Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you! Ten times, I'll beat you ten times!"

Did you hear me?

"Did you hear me?!"

-

With Gilgamesh gone, Tokiomi Tohsaka has no more worries.

So, on the seventh night, he and Irisviel worked together to modify the Great Grail formation beneath Mount Enzo.

As Tokiomi had previously envisioned, with the Grand Formation modified, this Holy Grail War was effectively nullified.

However, since the entire Holy Grail War system is not completely stopped or destroyed, the Holy Grail will start a new war again after a period of time.

Considering that this Holy Grail War was canceled midway and the magical power drawn and accumulated from the ley lines over the decades was not completely used up, Tokiomi and Irisviel concluded that the fifth Holy Grail War would most likely begin ten to twenty years later.

In other words, they have at least ten years to figure out how to completely resolve the issue of the contaminated Grail.

That night, Artoria renewed her contract with the Emiya couple, agreeing to serve as their knight and friend, protecting the Emiya family who had settled in Fuyuki.

Diarmuid, on the other hand, signed a contract with Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Don't get me wrong, this is absolutely not Diarmuid betraying Kenneth.

In fact, Kenneth had already left Fuyuki City, or more accurately, left the country, as early as the morning of the seventh day.

Before leaving, he took Diarmuid to meet with Tokiomi Tohsaka for a meeting that lasted about half an hour.

Ultimately, Diarmuid became a familiar of the Tohsaka family after the Holy Grail War was abolished. Furthermore, Kenneth gifted the Tohsaka family a furnace core originally intended for building a frontline workshop, helping Tokiomi solve Diarmuid's mana supply needs.

In return for all this, Kenneth hoped that the Tohsaka family would take good care of Sora, who had decided to settle in Fuyuki City.

Tokiomi would naturally not refuse such a sure-fire deal.

As for Diarmuid, he had no objection to this.

However, having stayed behind to protect Sora, he will most likely not take the initiative to meet with her again.

The situation is more delicate in Iskandar.

With Waver's own magical power, it would be difficult for him to handle Iskandar's needs for manifesting without the help of the Greater Grail.

Therefore, after signing the contract with Iskandar, Waver decided to stay in Fuyuki for the time being and use the magic core that Kenneth gave to the Tohsaka family to find a good way to solve Iskandar's magic needs.

Once this problem is solved, he will leave Fuyuki with Iskandar and, like Kenneth, go to search for other Holy Grail Wars in the world.

Yes, Kenneth did not return directly to the Clock Tower, but decided to travel the world in search of other Holy Grail Wars.

According to Diarmuid, when Kenneth was researching the Holy Grail War at the Clock Tower, he discovered that the ritual was not only recorded in the Far East.

In fact, according to the records of the Clock Tower, there were several events around the world after World War II that appeared to be Holy Grail Wars.

However, compared to the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki, the impact of these events was too small, and the Clock Tower's records of them were mostly brief.

Tokiomi believes that these events may be traces left by the Germans who participated in the Third Holy Grail War but ultimately returned empty-handed.

Irisviel also agreed with this conjecture, because in the knowledge she was instilled with, there were indeed records of the Germans at that time using both soft and hard tactics against the Einzbern family in an attempt to obtain complete information about the Holy Grail and the Holy Grail War system.

...The fact that Diarmuid was willing to reveal this information means that it was at Kenneth's behest.

As for why he did this...

This is the question Weber needed to consider.

In conclusion, after everything settled down, it seems that the only Heroic Spirit who decided to leave was Zheng Jing.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Sakura?"

Lin looked at Zheng Jing and couldn't help but ask.

Seemingly to give them some time alone, the others said goodbye to Zheng Jing and went down the mountain.

Now, only she and Zheng Jing are left here.

"It's not like we'll never see each other again. You've already added me, Old Zheng, as a friend, right? If you really miss me, just say so, I'll send you a task, and I'll be there in the blink of an eye! But, you'll have to talk to Ying about the courtyard matters yourself. Don't always try to hide her behind you. You're not a mother hen, and she's not a chick, understand?"

With his back to Rin, Zheng Jing stretched.

Upon hearing this, Rin, who had her arms crossed, closed her eyes and turned her head away.

"Okay! Go now! There are lots of mosquitoes in the mountains at night, and I'll have to see you off by myself!"

"Hehe, done."

Without turning around, Zheng Jing waved his hand and leaped into the air.

"Rin-chan, until we meet again!"

Chapter 125: You Collapsed Before I Even Had a Chance to Do Anything

Back in the neutral trading post space, after leaving the mission hall, Zheng Jing didn't hesitate to sit down in the plaza outside and opened the control panel.

Rin's 4399 Garden Coins have been credited to her account.

However, when it comes to income, the lion's share comes from the courtyard coins and experience points that Zheng Jing earned by beating his way through.

With Hassan the Hundred-Faced, Gildre, and Gilgamesh, who was the most generous in giving the salvation fee, Zheng Jing gained nearly 40,000 experience points and more than 35,000 courtyard coins from this trip.

Adding the savings he had before going to Xiao Xiao Lin's place, he now has over 40,000 experience points and nearly 70,000 courtyard coins in his pocket.

Zheng Jing had already figured out how to use the experience points right away.

But he was at a loss about how to get the 70,000 courtyard coins.

He can choose to use all of these courtyard coins for the lottery, which will allow him to draw 90 times. If he doesn't draw a legendary item of purple quality in these 90 draws, he will be only 11 draws away from the guaranteed 101st draw.

The second option is to buy all sorts of rare and precious materials and elixirs from the exchange, and then throw them into the Heavenly Martial Furnace to burn as firewood.

Actually, these two options are not in conflict.

With ninety draws, and based on the guaranteed minimum of green quality items per ten-draw, he should be able to draw a batch of decent firewood to give to the Tianwu Furnace.

Again...

Just wander around the neutral space and see if there are any good items that are worth buying and affordable, such as armor, accessories, or even weapons.

After much thought, Zheng Jing decided to go up to the next level, the Extraordinary Zone, first.

-

Iloanna's Sacred Arena (Supernatural Zone)

Recommended level: LV10-LV15

Mission Summary: Iloanna has once again opened her sacred arena, where, under her impartial judgment, every participant must fight to the very last moment. And, as always, the generous and compassionate Iloanna will bestow upon the victors their due rewards.

Quest Rewards: Players can redeem their desired prizes in the Hall of Honor within the Sacred Arena.

Note: This is a long-term special mission and is not mandatory. After accepting the mission, you can enter the Sacred Arena in projection mode at any time through the panel.

-

Upon arriving at the Extraordinary Zone, Zheng Jing's interface displayed this mission prompt.

This was the first time he had ever seen a mission pop up like this, directly through the panel's notification bar.

After buying a set meal recommended by the manager at a small tavern by the square, Zheng Jing was enthusiastically introduced to the so-called Sacred Arena by a cat-like cat-like signboard girl.

It turns out that Iloanna is a divine being in the multiverse; in simple terms, she is a god.

A Valkyrie.

She is one of the deities of war, victory, and honor, encouraging all heroic battles, praising all fair competition, and loving every tenacious warrior.

Every so often, Iloanna opens her arena, inviting every player in the multiverse who has not yet reached Legendary status to battle through her courtyard.

Iloanna always generously rewards those who stand out among the many players in the arena.

If one manages to win, they might even be invited into Iloanna's tent for a romantic encounter.

In short, every time this Valkyrie opens her arena, it is a major event for both the Extraordinary Zone and the Mortal Zone.

According to the cat-like mascot, this is the ninety-ninth time Iloanna has opened her arena.

This time, it seems that only players below the legendary level and above the extraordinary level were invited, which is why Zheng Jing did not receive such a notification, which sounded like it was broadcast to the entire server, when he was in the Mortal Bone Zone.

Sitting at the bar, listening to the talkative cat-like signboard girl meowing, Zheng Jing finally accepted this peculiar long-term mission.

He wasn't interested in Iloanna, but he was interested in the rewards in the House of Honor and other players at the Transcendent level.

How could Zheng Jing let go of such an opportunity to make money without any worries?

"Bill, please."

"Okay, meow! I'll take 50 courtyard coins from you, meow!"

"The extra 50 is considered a tip."

"Thank you, boss! Please accept this!"

"This is... a touch-up coupon?"

"You can exchange Touch Coupons for Touch Time with me anytime, meow!"

"..."

Looking at the cat-like woman's glossy fur and meeting her expectant gaze, Zheng Jing blinked and put the petting coupon into his inventory.

"The service was good, I'll come again next time."

"I love it when you come here!"

After leaving the small bar called Happy Star Cat, Zheng Jing simply left the neutral space.

Back in his own temple, Zheng Jing opened the panel and, following the prompts, accessed the Sacred Arena quest portal.

With a blink of an eye, a grand gate, seemingly carved from marble, appeared before Zheng Jing, bathed in a soft golden light.

Looking up at the gate, he saw a line of text he had never seen before.

Although I had never seen it before, I could instantly understand its meaning.

[Matching you with an opponent...]

[Matching completed. 】

The next moment, the gate opened inward, and amidst the cheers, Zheng Jing stepped into the golden light.

-

Those who know him well call him YOYO.

He had successfully broken through the bottleneck in his own dimension and entered the realm of the extraordinary a day earlier.

Compared to his brothers and sisters who were still struggling in the mortal realm of the courtyard, Yusef, who successfully broke through the barrier of the extraordinary when he had just reached the comprehensive level 10, can indeed be called the best among the young people of the Yul family this generation.

Having just arrived in the Extraordinary Realm, Yusuf was fortunate to witness the opening of Iloanna's Sacred Arena, making it a double celebration for him.

Yusuf knew that with the support of his family's resources, coupled with his own sweat and hard work, his combat ability, which was far beyond that of ordinary extraordinary beings, was far superior to that of ordinary extraordinary beings, even though he had just reached the extraordinary realm at first glance.

Although he has no hope of winning first place, he believes he is capable of making it into the top 100 of this competition.

If he makes it into the top 100, he can obtain that treasure that will be crucial to his future legendary achievements...

[Matching succeeded. 】

As Yusuf entered the arena, he immediately spotted his opponent.

Upon seeing the other person, he couldn't help but frown.

He was carrying a stick that appeared to be made of metal, and was physically fit, dressed in simple, close-fitting clothing, seemingly without any protection.
