Chapter 67

Although Waver did not understand why Gilgamesh had survived until the Fifth Holy Grail War, the Fourth War hadn't even begun on his side yet, so he had no time to worry about future events.

"Let's look at the rewards first."

After saying this, Waver looked at his options; since he could only choose two, he naturally needed to think it over carefully.

Option 1: Heroic Spirit Command Spell (The owner can perform one additional Heroic Spirit summoning.)

"This is a good item! I can summon another Heroic Spirit! But..."

At this point, Waver's face fell. Are you kidding me? The meager amount of magical energy in his body was enough to exhaust him just summoning the Great King; if he had to summon another Heroic Spirit, he would be squeezed dry until he was nothing but a husk.

Option 2: 10 tons of gold (The remaining wealth after you pay off your debts, already converted into gold.)

"Gold! 10 tons!" Waver's eyes sparkled with golden light! What, you say money is a worldly possession for a magus? Pfft! That's just because you don't have enough money!

Do you know how much money magi burn through!

"Let me calculate, 10 tons of gold, at the current exchange rate... over 200 million pounds!!!"

The Clock Tower is in London, so Waver naturally calculated in pounds. With over 200 million pounds, he could almost live off it for a lifetime.

"No! Hold back! Hold back! Slap! Hold back!"

Waver forced himself to resist the urge to choose this option immediately, then looked at the third option.

Option 3: Magical Energy C (Personal attribute, no explanation needed, can be stacked.)

"Magical Energy C..." Waver was also very envious looking at this option; as a magus, nothing is more important than magical energy.

A third-rate magus like him, barring any surprises, would never see his magical energy reserves break through D in his lifetime. A C-rank magical energy, added to his own...

"If I have this, even when the Holy Grail War ends, I can ensure Iskandar doesn't leave. I'll choose three first."

Waver chose three almost without hesitation, then he looked at the remaining two options again...

"Money is definitely good. With so much money, Iskandar and I could definitely live very well in the future, but... what if the Great King dies again?"

Waver was very worried. That Gilgamesh was simply targeting him; that Anti-World Noble Phantasm of yours was specifically aimed at Iskandar, wasn't it?

In the end, the dirt-poor Waver gritted his teeth, and then...

"I choose one!"

Swish!

The next second, Waver felt the Command Spell on the back of his hand become more vivid. Waver understood that this was the special effect brought about by the stacking of two layers of Command Spells.

Looking at the back of his hand, Waver also revealed a satisfied smile.

"Iskandar, this time... I won't let you leave."

After saying this, Waver turned and ran toward the door. The Great King's holy relic would arrive soon, and he had to steal it in advance.

As for Mr. Kayneth... I'm sorry, I will definitely repay what I owe you. In this Holy Grail War, I will definitely try my best to keep you from dying here.

Waver was still very grateful to Kayneth. Although Kayneth's mouth was a bit harsh, he was truly good to his students. Moreover, Waver later learned that Kayneth tearing up his thesis was actually because he was afraid the thesis would leak out and be detrimental to Waver; he had truly been protecting his student all along.

This point was true. In the *Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II*, whenever something happened, Waver's classmates still believed that if Kayneth were there, he definitely wouldn't have let such things happen, and that their own warnings were just everyone's anger at him for clashing with Kayneth.

From the perspective of El-Melloi II, Kayneth was a good teacher to his students and a good husband to his wife. As for Diarmuid... perhaps in the eyes of a magus, a Heroic Spirit dying is just returning to the Throne of Heroes; death really doesn't count for much.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems Kayneth never really did anything evil; the only black mark was making Diarmuid commit suicide, which was too disrespectful to a Heroic Spirit.

As for Lin Ye, he was also a bit dumbfounded looking at the simulation results in front of him.

"No, you, Waver, just died like that? You! The true protagonist of Nasu! The beloved son of Sanda Makoto! The beloved daughter of Urobuchi! You just died like that?"

Urobuchi once said that when watching *Lord El-Melloi II*, he always had the gratification of seeing a daughter who had married off living well.

So, you, Waver, have a day like this too?

"Forget it, forget it. Originally, I was just looking for you to grind some Necromancy; the goal has already been achieved, so that's enough."

Lin Ye said this while looking at the virtual screen.

The achievements you obtained in this simulation are:

Necromancer (You have become an excellent necromancer.)

Teacher (You have become an excellent teacher.)

Wealthy (You, who split the profits fifty-fifty with Waver and have no external debts, have an astonishing net worth.)

Due to the death of the target character, your rating for this session is C. You may choose three items from the following rewards.

"Only C-rank, it's been a long time since I've received such a low rating. But thinking about it carefully, you get what you put in. In this simulation, besides helping Waver pay off his debts, I really didn't do anything else."

Having this rating is normal; the key is the rewards.

Option 1: Necromancy Mastery (All the necromancy you learned within ten years.)

"I want this!" Lin Ye chose this without hesitation. His goal was to grind necromancy, so of course he couldn't miss it.

Option 2: 200 tons of gold.

"200 tons! If I take this out, it will cause inflation, right!" Lin Ye was stunned looking at this option. 200 tons! With so much money, he wouldn't have to keep going out to pick up money from the yakuza anymore.

Money is money, and gold is hard currency.

"Let's see what else there is; if it's not good, I'll take this."

Lin Ye looked at the last option again.

Option 3: Eye of Appraisal, Rank C.

A skill possessed by Waver; C-rank is already enough to see through the other party's talent.

"Eye of Appraisal, good stuff. Waver was able to become an excellent lecturer all because of it. So, System, I choose the 200 tons of gold."

That's right, your Eye of Appraisal is not bad, but it's just a C-rank; it's better to have some money. When Lin Ye read novels in his past life, he never understood why so many transmigrators were so stylish, yet they never made any money? Could it be that they were like him, picking up money from the yakuza?

(PS: Finally decided not to write about the Great King in the simulated history. Although I've actually written more than half of it, I later realized that if I want to change the Great King's fate, I have to give him an elixir of immortality. And with the Great King's personality, he would definitely want to conquer the world, so what if he fought the Seven Heroes of the Warring States? Who would the protagonist help?

Helping the Seven Heroes of the Warring States would make the protagonist a traitor to the Great King. Helping the Great King fight the Warring States would make the protagonist a traitor to his country? This is absolutely not allowed! This is the bottom line, so forget it. A Great King who dies young is a good Great King.)
