Chapter 736

~8 min read 1,577 words

The Scarlet Card gradually dissolved into a ball of blood-red liquid, which floated in mid-air and slowly rotated.

The rotation speed of this blood-red liquid became faster and faster. A dozen seconds later, a blood-colored vortex appeared.

After using Die's Scarlet Card, there were three chances to draw, which could be items in Die's storage space, or Die's equipment or skills.

Su Xiao had drawn items and equipment before. As for skills...

He seriously doubted that the skills of the deceased couldn't be drawn from the Scarlet Card at all, at least he couldn't draw them.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang poked its head in front of the blood-colored vortex. It could be seen that this guy was a bit nervous; after all, this was the Scarlet Card of a Tier 3 Some Qiyuezhe.

"It's time to show your skills, Xiang Bubu."

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang held its head high and chest out. At this moment, it wasn't one dog fighting, but two! If Su Xiao knew Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's thoughts at this time, he would take out that extra-large slipper.

In Su Xiao's expectant gaze, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang swallowed its saliva, stuck its head into the blood-colored vortex, and began to sense the items inside with its nose.

Su Xiao waited silently, but several minutes had passed, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang still hadn't brought out any items. Instead, it had stuck most of its body into the blood-colored vortex, its two hind legs outside kicking wildly, and its fluffy tail wagging left and right.

Suddenly, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's tail stopped wagging. It shrank back, and its whole body detached from the blood-colored vortex.

Su Xiao fixed his eyes on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's mouth. That was the item Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had chosen for several minutes. He saw Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang holding a small statue in its mouth, and from Su Xiao's angle, he could see the base of the small statue.

"Is it a prop?"

Su Xiao took the "small statue" from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's mouth. This thing felt soft. When the full appearance of the "small statue" appeared in his eyes, his hand froze.

【You obtained the Luban No. 7 Figure Model (Collector's Edition)】

The scene was extremely awkward. Su Xiao examined the big-headed figure in his hand; he always felt that this thing was somewhat familiar.

"Is this... a character from a mobile game?"

Su Xiao suddenly remembered. Wasn't this the character from the mobile game Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang played before? In order to play this mobile game, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang even bought a piece of equipment that could connect to the real world's network, but it couldn't transmit information to the outside world and had many restrictions.

Although Su Xiao had been mentally prepared before opening the Scarlet Card, opening such a novel item made him unable to recover for a while.

Su Xiao could only accept this fact. He had even opened a vibrator for adult use, let alone a game figure. Moreover, looking at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's appearance, it seemed to like this thing very much, which could be considered to have some value.

"Continue."

Su Xiao put the figure aside, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang continued to draw items in the blood-colored vortex. There were two more chances.

Having learned from the first lesson, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's drawing speed significantly accelerated.

【You obtained the Dior Christmas Limited Edition Lipstick Set (Five-piece set).】

This time it was lipstick. Su Xiao shook his head. This thing wasn't equipment, just an ordinary item.

【You obtained Alice's Invitation Letter.】

The blood-colored vortex disappeared. Su Xiao held a pure black envelope in his hand, and the envelope opening was sealed with wax.

【Alice's Invitation Letter】

Origin: Unknown

Quality: Unknown

Type: Invitation Letter

Effect: Unknown

Score: Unknown

Introduction: An invitation letter, inviting you to enter...

Price:???

Su Xiao observed the invitation letter in his hand. Although he didn't know the function of this thing, his intuition told him that the value of this thing might not be low.

Su Xiao tried to open the invitation letter, but the envelope seemed to be stuck fast and couldn't be opened at all.

Discovering this, Su Xiao hesitated for a moment and began to try to tear the envelope with brute force.

Grabbing the envelope with both hands and exerting force, the blood vessels on Su Xiao's temples and arms gradually bulged, showing how much force he had used.

Crack, crack, crack~

The invitation letter was torn and wrinkled, the tearing sound was creepy, but it was undamaged. Half a minute later, Su Xiao's face turned red, and he gave up helplessly.

"Ha, ha, ha~"

Su Xiao panted heavily, and his flushed face returned to normal. This thing was surprisingly sturdy. He, who could dismantle a Gundam with his bare hands, actually couldn't do anything about this thing, which made him more convinced that this thing was not simple.

"Looks like brute force doesn't work."

Just as Su Xiao was studying how to open this envelope, the phone in his pocket rang. Taking out the phone, the number on it was actually unknown. He was a bit speechless; it was one thing that the item's function was unknown, but now the caller number was also unknown.

Su Xiao answered the phone. He didn't speak first, and the other party on the phone didn't speak either.

"..."

"..."

Both sides were silent, and this silence lasted for a full three minutes.

"Kiritsugu Emiya?"

Su Xiao broke the silence first. The only one who knew this phone number was the old priest. He had previously entrusted the old priest to contact the Einzbern family, wanting to contact Kiritsugu Emiya through the Einzbern family. Kiritsugu Emiya was the son-in-law of the Einzbern family.

It was unlikely that either the old priest or the Einzbern family would use this kind of unknown number to contact him. The former didn't need to do so, and the latter disdained to, or was ashamed to do so. After all, it was a large magic family; contacting others while hiding their heads and showing their tails would inevitably leave people talking.

Therefore, the only person who could contact him using this kind of unknown number was Kiritsugu Emiya. Kiritsugu Emiya didn't care about his reputation. In that man's view, as long as the result was good, it didn't matter how dirty or despicable the means were.

"It's me. Contacting me through the Einzbern family, do you want to join forces?"

At this time, Kiritsugu Emiya was in a manor in the suburbs outside Fuyuki City. Except for necessary situations, he wouldn't stay in Fuyuki City.

"Yes, join forces."

A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. If it were a day ago, he would indeed join forces with Kiritsugu Emiya. After all, the pressure from the Tier 3 Some Qiyuezhe was there.

If Kiritsugu Emiya had contacted Su Xiao at that time, he would have even negotiated with the other party using the ownership of the Holy Grail. Unfortunately, the other party took too long to consider, and the Tier 3 Some Qiyuezhe had already been beaten back by him. Kiritsugu Emiya missed an opportunity.

"If we join forces, what can I get, and how can I trust a Heroic Spirit who transformed his Master into a monster?"

"What can you get? How about the Holy Grail?"

"..."

Kiritsugu Emiya was in the dining room of the manor, having a meal with his wife and female assistant, while Saber was sitting on the side.

After getting along for a period of time, the compatibility between Saber and Kiritsugu Emiya became increasingly poor, so poor that they wouldn't easily talk to each other.

At this time, Kiritsugu Emiya set the phone to speakerphone. There were no outsiders in the room; they were all personnel participating in the Holy Grail War.

Hearing Su Xiao mention the Holy Grail, Kiritsugu Emiya's wife, Irisviel, was somewhat incredulous, while the female assistant on the side sneered.

"You are willing to give up the Holy Grail?"

Kiritsugu Emiya narrowed his eyes. Although the person on the other end of the phone spoke in a friendly manner, he felt murderous intent everywhere.

"Why wouldn't I be willing? In most cases, it's the Master who pursues the Holy Grail. A Heroic Spirit like me has no interest in the Holy Grail. Do I wish for resurrection from the Holy Grail? Coming to the present world, I just want to kill happily, just like I did 'before I was born'."

Su Xiao started talking nonsense. He was luring Kiritsugu Emiya to appear. He owed a favor to the old priest; if he didn't get something back, wouldn't it be a big loss?

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the expressions of Kiritsugu Emiya and the female assistant didn't change much, but the faces of Irisviel and Saber didn't look very good, especially Saber.

"No need to negotiate. Cooperating with such a villain is very risky."

Saber spoke in a low voice.

"Is that Saber? Don't treat me as deaf. Killing makes one a villain? How many people did you kill before you were born?"

"Evil path."

"Heh~ So what if it's an evil path? In my view, a knight is equal to a fool."

"What did you say!"

Saber stood up. Although she knew this was the enemy's provocation, no one could insult the word "knight."
