Chapter 83: Irisviel's night talk

Fuyuki City, Einzbern Castle.

Lin Ye looks at the completed virtual screen in front of him.

Your simulation has been completed. The achievements you obtained this time are:

Pocket Mentor (As a sword spirit, you completed your work very well.)

Sacrifice for Righteousness (Better to be broken jade than intact tile; you realized the true meaning of a sword spirit the moment the sword shattered.)

One Against Ten Thousand (Repelled ten thousand enemies with the strength of one person.)

Arrogant (Good heavens, you didn't care about the other target at all.)

"Huh? There is another target... Damn! Gilles!"

Lin Ye is stunned for a moment. He seems to have gotten used to simulating one person, and for a moment, he really forgot about Gilles's existence.

Forget it, forget it. He wasn't interested in becoming Gilles's book spirit anyway.

Your evaluation is A. You can obtain four items from the following rewards as your reward.

"A evaluation... sigh, the room for maneuver for Jeanne is indeed a bit small. It's quite difficult to create a Lostbelt."

Think about the several Lostbelt Kings in FGO; which one is not a king or a god? Zeus, Banana, Morgan le Fay, the First Emperor, the Tsar, Skadi—all of them are rulers.

"With my current strength, it should be no problem to push through the first six chapters of FGO, but the seventh chapter is a bit troublesome."

Lin Ye sighs, then looks at his rewards.

Option 1: Sword of Saint Catherine (Holy relic; using it for summoning can summon Ruler Saint Joan of Arc.)

"I want it!"

Lin Ye does not hesitate. He has a Command Spell that he hasn't used yet, so it's just right to use it now. Lin Ye was thinking about whether he should go borrow Rin Tohsaka to see if he could summon Ereshkigal.

But considering that Rin Tohsaka is too young now and he doesn't know if she can be possessed, Lin Ye hasn't taken action.

Option 2: Luck A (Luck possessed by Jeanne, personal attribute.)

"Luck A!"

Don't underestimate Luck A. Luck A is dozens of times that of an ordinary person; it's the kind where you can win the lottery just by buying one.

"Alternative, next."

Option 3: Mental Pollution A.

A skill possessed by Gilles de Rais. Because of mental disorder, it can block mental-type magic. However, people without mental pollution may not be able to communicate with him.

"No!!!"

Lin Ye refuses directly. Are you kidding? This thing can also be A? And people without equivalent mental pollution cannot communicate with him? If I can communicate normally with a madman, then what am I?

Option 4: Magic Resistance B (Conventional skill; magic below B-rank is invalid, B-rank magic is greatly resisted, A-rank and above are resisted.)

Standard.

Option 5: Noble Phantasm - My God is Here.

Rank: A.

Type: Barrier Noble Phantasm.

Emits a holy light; under the coverage of the light, defense can be greatly improved.

"My God is Here? I want this thing... wait!" Lin Ye looks at his "Lord Camelot." The weakness of this Noble Phantasm is that it will lock himself outside the gate. Now that he has this Noble Phantasm, wouldn't he have compensated for this biggest weakness?

Thinking of this, Lin Ye no longer hesitates.

"System, except for Mental Pollution, I want all the rest."

Yes, Master.

Swish!

As the bright light falls, Lin Ye feels that his body has gained a few more points of strength. Not only that, Lin Ye also discovers that there is a bright sword in his hand.

"Sword of Saint Catherine... you can be considered to have returned to the original owner, right?"

Lin Ye grasps the hilt of this sword, then gets up and walks outside.

He has decided to summon Jeanne, so he naturally doesn't need to wait anymore.

"Irisviel, I'll borrow your backyard."

Lin Ye says this and walks directly toward Irisviel's backyard. By the way, he also takes two turkeys from the kitchen and starts drawing a summoning magic circle in the backyard.

Watching Lin Ye's actions, Irisviel also follows curiously.

"Lin Ye, are you... preparing to summon a Heroic Spirit?"

"Yes." Lin Ye nods to Irisviel with a smile. "You also know that I have many friends, so I'm preparing to summon one to help out."

"Friends... yes, there are quite a few." Irisviel remembers Lin Ye's previous appearance, which was like a reunion of close friends.

She stands beside Lin Ye, looking at Lin Ye drawing the magic circle, and says with envy,

"That's great."

"Great? What's great?" Lin Ye asks, not understanding.

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Irisviel looks at him with melancholy. "I mean, you have so many good friends, that's great."

"Friends?" Lin Ye looks up at Irisviel in front of him. At this moment, he suddenly remembers.

Almost forgot, Irisviel is a homunculus who has never left the Einzbern family since birth. Let alone friends, she has probably only seen that old man Acht in person.

Originally, Irisviel could have met Emiya Kiritsugu shortly after birth, and her life would have had a bit of different color. Unfortunately, because of his butterfly effect, Emiya Kiritsugu was taken by him to get married and have children. Calculating it, Emiya Shirou could already be running errands...

Thinking of this, Lin Ye looks at Irisviel before him with apology and says,

"Friends? If you don't mind, can I have the honor of becoming your friend?"

"What!" In an instant, Irisviel's eyes have a glimmer of spirit. She didn't expect Lin Ye to say this. "Are you really willing to be friends with a homunculus like me?"

"Of course? What's wrong with homunculi? I don't discriminate against homunculi. However, the homunculus technology of your Einzbern family is indeed not very good. Your life shouldn't have much time left..."

"You really saw it." Irisviel lowers her head silently. She puts her hand on her chest, and when she spreads it again, a golden scabbard appears in her hand.

"The lifespan of a homunculus is very short. Thanks to it, I was able to hold on until now."
