Chapter 84

Although Irisviel has always said that happiness, even for a moment, is better than eternal loneliness, if one can be happy forever, who wouldn't want to enjoy it?

Looking at the lonely Irisviel, Lin Ye lowers his head and ponders for a moment, then he looks at the other party and says,

"Your lifespan is actually not short. It's just because as the Lesser Grail, as more and more Heroic Spirits die, your body will be unable to withstand this massive magic power and collapse."

"That's right." Irisviel nods. This is not a secret; many people know it very well.

Seeing Irisviel nod, Lin Ye suddenly laughs. "Then in that case, can't we just let fewer Heroic Spirits die?"

Saint Joan of Arc, descends!

"This... how is this possible?" Irisviel looks at Lin Ye in front of her in shock. Although she is very moved by Lin Ye saying he wants to save her, how is it possible to let fewer Heroic Spirits die?

"What's impossible about it." Lin Ye reveals a confident smile. "The so-called Holy Grail War is nothing more than a war where everyone kills for their dreams. But what if this Holy Grail can no longer fulfill wishes?"

The Greater Grail of Fuyuki City, who doesn't know it has long been polluted? It's not that such a Greater Grail cannot grant wishes, it's just that its way of granting wishes is a bit unconventional.

Suppose someone wishes to become the most handsome man in the world. A normal Holy Grail should turn this man into the most handsome in the world, but the polluted Holy Grail will directly kill all men who are more handsome than him.

It cannot be said that the wish was not fulfilled, but this is simply not the original intention of the person.

"Actually, the lifespan of a homunculus is okay. As long as your body doesn't collapse due to massive magic power, then living a long life is naturally not a dream."

In "Prisma Illya," Irisviel lived smoothly for ten years later. And in "Fate/hollow ataraxia," Sella and Leysritt (the two homunculus maids of Illya) also said that the lifespan of their homunculi is actually longer than that of normal people.

Illya's short life was because she suffered too much torture, and Sieg's short life was because he was produced as a one-time tool.

Hearing Lin Ye's words, a desire for life also flows in Irisviel's eyes. She has just tasted the beauty of this world; she doesn't want to die just like that.

"This... is it really possible?"

"Of course, just rest assured. When this is over, I'll take a vacation myself, and then we can go traveling. Go bungee jumping at the Grand Canyon, visit the ruins of Uruk in Babylon, go to King Arthur's tomb to pay respects to King Arthur—Artoria must really want to go and see..."

Lin Ye says bit by bit, and for Lin Ye's words, Irisviel is more and more moved. She seems to be deeply attracted by the beautiful future depicted by Lin Ye.

So...

"We can also go to the Great Wall. I'll go pick up a brick to see if I can summon Zheng-ge..."

Before Lin Ye finishes speaking, suddenly, he feels a fragrant breeze blowing in his face. Immediately after, a soft body rushes into his arms. Lin Ye subconsciously hugs the other party.

"Irisviel, you..."

"Thank you, Lin Ye." Irisviel says softly. For the first time in her life, she feels warmth from someone else. Even if she cannot escape her fate in the end and becomes the Holy Grail, at least she has someone who truly cares about her. This feeling of being cared for is great.

At this moment, Lin Ye also feels Irisviel's excitement, so he says,

"Well... you're welcome."

For a long time, Irisviel silently lets go of the hand hugging Lin Ye. Immediately after, her pretty face blushes, and she also feels a bit embarrassed for her boldness just now.

"I'll help you draw the magic circle."

After Irisviel finishes speaking, she kneels down and begins to help Lin Ye draw the unfinished magic circle. It is also at this moment that Artoria's figure walks out of the Einzbern Castle.

"My King, you aren't asleep either."

"Lin-qing, Heroic Spirits don't need to sleep." My King says silently. Afterward, she also comes to Lin Ye's front, and then Lin Ye hears a sentence,

"I have no interest in visiting my own grave."

Lin Ye...

Good heavens, you have been eavesdropping all along.

"My King, eavesdropping on others is not the way of a knight."

"I was just worried that Master would be attacked if she came out alone, so I was protecting her." My King argues strongly. She doesn't tangle with Lin Ye on this topic anymore, and her gaze is placed on the magic circle in front of her.

"Lin-qing, are you preparing to summon a Servant?"

"Yes." Lin Ye nods.

"Then, have you decided who to summon? If the Servant you summon has a bad compatibility with you, it might have the opposite effect. I feel that everyone from Britain should be fine."

My King thinks very simply. If Lin Ye can summon the Knights of the Round Table from Britain, it can definitely be a great help.

She did hear the conversation between Lin Ye and Irisviel just now. She has no opinion on not wanting the Holy Grail.

Britain has become a Lostbelt, she has also found Lin Ye, and with Irisviel's magic power, it is enough to ensure she can stay after the Holy Grail War ends. This is already enough.

She doesn't have such a strong craving for the Holy Grail.

Hearing My King's words, Lin Ye silently takes out the Sword of Saint Catherine he just obtained from the imaginary space and says to My King,

"Rest assured, I have already prepared the holy relic. As for the compatibility problem... rest assured, I have many friends, it will be no problem."

Many friends...

Looking at Lin Ye in front of her, My King is speechless.

"There are indeed many friends. Four out of the seven Heroic Spirits in a Holy Grail War are your friends."

"Actually, it's five. That mad dog... no, that Berserker, is actually Lancelot."

"What! Sir Lancelot!" My King's eyes widen. She looks at Lin Ye in front of her in shock and says, "Are you telling the truth!"

"Of course it's true." Lin Ye looks at My King and says, "But rest assured, Lancelot is quite resistant to beating. You didn't use much force just now, it's fine."

My King...

It wasn't much force; the ultimate moves of three Heroic Spirits, it was indeed not much...

However, Sir Lancelot? It seems she needs to find an opportunity to deal with him.

"Done!"

Irisviel also gets up at this moment and looks at Lin Ye in front of her. She signals to Lin Ye that she has completed the magic circle for this Heroic Spirit summoning. Lin Ye also nods to Irisviel in thanks. Afterward, he places the Sword of Saint Catherine directly in the center of the magic circle, then he raises his hand and says,

"Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill. Repeat five times, but..."

Boom!

The magic circle begins to erupt with bright light. Immediately after, Lin Ye feels his magic power being drawn away in large quantities. However, this bit of magic power is naturally a piece of cake for Lin Ye.

"...Let the seven days of the three great incantations wrap around your body, come from the wheel of restraint, guardian of the balance!"

Hum!

As Lin Ye finishes chanting, a figure appears directly in the center of the magic circle.

Purple battle suit, silver-white armor, the iris battle flag in her hand fluttering in the wind, and at her waist, the Sword of Saint Catherine is already sheathed.

At this moment, she finally opens her eyes. The moment she sees Lin Ye, her body trembles violently. For a long time, she says with a slightly trembling voice,
