Chapter 184

There was no doubt that Zhao Yun, who had become a Heroic Spirit, was undeniably powerful.

But compared to the power Zhao Yun displayed, Bai Zeming was more worried about his current situation.

Lancer's Noble Phantasm was Gáe Bolg, a powerful anti-personnel skill with causality reversal.

Simply put, it reversed the process of 'the spear pierced the heart, so the heart will be pierced' into 'the heart was pierced, so the spear will pierce the heart'.

This Noble Phantasm effect involving causality was exceptionally powerful, and if the opponent had no way to deal with it, it was almost unsolvable.

Of course, as long as the opponent's luck value was high enough, combined with attributes like intuition, it was also possible to avoid this must-hit blow.

However, Zhao Yun's luck value was three question marks. According to the settings, the breaking-the-limit attribute should be EX, and Bai Zeming wasn't sure what these three question marks represented...

Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out a spirit stone, recovered his mana while looking at the rooftop.

As the smoke and dust on the rooftop gradually dissipated, a figure in silver armor and silver spear slowly emerged from it.

Lancer seemed to sense something, raised his head violently, and looked at that figure with a somewhat ferocious expression.

"You sensed it?!"

Following his gaze, he saw Zhao Yun holding the Dragon-Gall Bright Silver Spear in his right hand, maintaining the posture of stabbing forward, while his left hand had pulled out the sword at his waist at some point, accurately blocking it in front of his heart.

Was he actually unharmed?!

Bai Zeming was slightly surprised, then looked at Lancer with sympathy.

Clearly possessing a powerful Noble Phantasm that reverses causality, yet in the several cycles he had experienced, he had never successfully hit once...

One could only say, as expected of Luck E!

"... Truly incredible spear technique!"

Zhao Yun lowered the Qinggang sword in his palm, looking at Lancer with burning eyes: "The last time I felt such fatal pressure was on Changban Slope in Danyang!"

"Is that so?"

"To tell the truth, if you hadn't stated in advance that the target was the heart, I really might not have been able to block this spear!"

"..."

Lancer was slightly stunned, then pulled out his long spear, ignored the scars on his body, and laughed: "So that's how it is!"

Just as he regained his confidence and intended to continue the life-and-death struggle with this strong enemy he had only seen in his life, he suddenly paused and looked at his body in shock.

The next second, his sturdy body covered with scars twisted, and it instantly disappeared, leaving no trace.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Bai Zeming in the sky with confusion.

"He should have been summoned away by a Command Spell."

Bai Zeming held the spirit stone, landed, put Emiya Shirou on the ground, looked at Zhao Yun, and explained: "The so-called Command Spell is by no means as simple as the absolute command power of a Master to drive a servant."

"It is a crystallization of great magic that transcends limits, possessing powerful power originating from the Holy Grail."

"With the help of Command Spells, a Master can order a Heroic Spirit to perform many actions they cannot complete, such as letting a Heroic Spirit teleport instantly from a very far place to the Master's side."

"This kind of thing, just by the Heroic Spirit themselves, cannot be done, but a Master can use a Command Spell to make it succeed..."

Zhao Yun showed understanding and nodded: "So that's how it is!"

As a Heroic Spirit summoned directly by Lin Yu from the Throne of Heroes, the rule information and modern knowledge he received were all transmitted to them by Lin Yu instead of the Holy Grail.

Among them, the intelligence related to this session's Heroic Spirits was relatively detailed, but the rules related to the Holy Grail War itself were relatively general!

Bai Zeming smiled: "Regardless, wasting two Command Spells of the Lancer Master can be considered worth it!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Tohsaka Rin and Archer with a smile:

"My Fourth Brother doesn't seem to have had enough fun yet, you two... want to continue?"

"..."

Tohsaka Rin twitched the corner of her mouth, then opened her mouth, intending to reply.

Just at this moment, Emiya Shirou hurriedly blocked in front of her and advised: "Bai, stop fighting. Although I haven't fully understood the situation yet, I believe Student Tohsaka definitely doesn't want to be hostile to you."

"Otherwise, during the battle just now, she could have attacked you, couldn't she?"

Hearing Emiya Shirou's words defending Tohsaka Rin, Bai Zeming couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Was it that she didn't want to sneak attack him?

She didn't dare to sneak attack!

As one of the most famous Three Kingdoms historical figures in Japan, Tohsaka Rin couldn't possibly not know the heroic deeds of Zhao Yun saving the lord alone.

And such deeds would definitely turn into Noble Phantasms or skills. If she really dared to sneak attack him while Zhao Yun was fighting Lancer, she would have to trigger the Changban Slope saving the lord form!

Of course, complaining was complaining.

Bai Zeming still had a good impression of Tohsaka Rin, who had saved him twice in previous cycles.

Seeing this situation, Bai Zeming thought for a moment, immediately took the slope down, and nodded: "I don't want to deal with classmates from school either. Since Shirou said so, then... let's sit down and have a chat?"

"..."

Tohsaka Rin and Archer looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.

After a brief discussion, the three decided to go to Emiya Shirou's house to have a chat.

On the way to the Emiya house, Bai Zeming opened the chat group and asked the question he had been very concerned about.

【Bai Zeming: Why is Fourth Brother's luck attribute three question marks?】

【Lin Yu: Oh, this is the two of us... no, it should be said, it's mainly my influence】

【Bai Zeming: What do you mean?】

【Lin Yu: Eight dou of luck for Lancers, Zhao Zilong takes one shi alone, the remaining Lancers owe two dou】

【Lin Yu: This is a meme that only transmigrators like you and me know】

【Lin Yu: In fact, Zhao Yun's luck as a Heroic Spirit is only B, it's not that ridiculously high】

【Lin Yu: But after I came to this world, based on my personal cognition, Zhao Yun's luck received a bonus, but because I am not within the cognitive range of the Greater Holy Grail, that's why the situation of three question marks appeared】

Seeing Lin Yu's explanation, Bai Zeming suddenly realized.

At the same time, he also had a clear understanding of this big shot in the chat group.

"Actually able to override the influence of world legends based on personal cognition..."

"How strong is Big Brother Lin?"

Bai Zeming was shocked and asked in the group: "Then what is Zhao Yun's luck exactly?"

【Lin Yu: If I have to say, it's probably A+!】

A+?

That's also terrifying!

The original luck B was already considered great luck, consistent with Zhao Yun's experience as a victorious general throughout his life.

And A+ level luck belonged to the level of being favored by the Goddess of Luck from childhood to adulthood.

No matter what one does, it can be smooth sailing, which can be called truly having the help of heaven and earth!

【Lin Yu: Oh right, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you.】

【Bai Zeming: What is it?】

【Lin Yu: Regarding the Command Spells on the back of your hand, I made some small modifications...】

Following Lin Yu's explanation in the chat group, Bai Zeming's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he saw something incredible.

Coming to the Emiya house after a long time, Bai Zeming was incomparably moved.

The last time the three sat together like this was a year ago...

Looking at Emiya Shirou bringing tea and coffee, Bai Zeming thanked him with a smile.

Tohsaka Rin also hung up the phone, sat on the side of the small square table, and said softly: "I have already reported it to the church. They will cooperate with official media to cover up the traces of the Heroic Spirit battle for us."

Emiya Shirou asked suspiciously: "How to cover it up?"

Bai Zeming said without hesitation: "Need you ask? It must be a gas explosion!"

As everyone knows, the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret, so this is a gas explosion!

Tohsaka Rin nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case, and then looked at Emiya Shirou: "Regarding the Holy Grail War, Student Bai has already explained it very clearly just now."

"However, I highly doubt whether you can still summon Saber in the situation where he has become the seventh Master..."

Bai Zeming glanced at her: "Won't we know if we try?"

Emiya Shirou hurriedly said: "Wait, I haven't agreed to participate in this so-called Holy Grail War yet!"

"Are you sure?"

Bai Zeming persuaded skillfully: "Just like I said just now, the Holy Grail that descended on Fuyuki City possesses powerful power to realize the wishes of Masters and Servants."

"And power does not distinguish between good and evil. Evil people get it, and they can naturally realize evil wishes."

"Just like the Master of that Lancer just now, he would order his servant to kill innocent passersby without hesitation. If such a person gets the Holy Grail, would you be willing?"

Emiya Shirou showed hesitation: "I..."

Bai Zeming struck while the iron was hot: "Don't hesitate anymore, join me. If you and I join forces, we will definitely achieve final victory and avoid the ending of the Holy Grail falling into the hands of evil people!"

The reason why he wanted to form an alliance with Emiya Shirou so much, besides the good impression and trust accumulated in several cycles, was also because he wanted to use Emiya Shirou's power to deal with a certain final Boss.

According to the plot, in the Fifth Holy Grail War, besides the seven participating Masters and Heroic Spirits, there was also Mr. Gold, a warm-hearted citizen left over from the last Holy Grail War.

Bai Zeming wasn't sure if his own Shu Han dream team was a match for Gilgamesh.

But Emiya Shirou's Unlimited Blade Works could definitely restrain this famous King of Heroes!

Of course, he could also ask Lin Yu for help to deal with Gilgamesh.

But he only had 100 points left, which could at most extend Lin Yu's stay by one day.

He was embarrassed to let Lin Yu spend money to buy a cross-realm talisman to extend his stay, and even more embarrassed to appear too eager for quick success and let Lin Yu help him deal with Gilgamesh now.

So, he planned to deal with the upcoming Holy Grail War himself.

What's more, Lin Yu had already helped him a lot. If he couldn't handle the Holy Grail War while cheating, what face would he have to ask Lin Yu to help?

Hearing Bai Zeming's words, Emiya Shirou was shaken.

But in the end, he still shook his head: "Sorry, Bai, I still don't want to join this absurd game of seven-person slaughter. If you're just looking for a helper, Student Tohsaka also..."

Bai Zeming said without hesitation: "I don't trust her!"

Tohsaka Rin: "..."

Bai Zeming said bluntly: "It seems you still don't understand the meaning of the Holy Grail War. Let's put it this way, if it weren't for you, Student Tohsaka and I would be destined to have a battle!"

"If you don't believe me, ask her, she must think so too."

Is that so?

Emiya Shirou looked at Tohsaka Rin suspiciously.

Tohsaka Rin nodded, then said with a calm expression: "Your understanding is too shallow!"

"The Holy Grail War is not a game. Everything is to select someone worthy of the Holy Grail. The so-called seven... eight-person slaughter is just a ritual to complete this purpose!"

After speaking, she stood up and glanced at Bai Zeming: "Although I don't understand why you insist on him participating in the Holy Grail War, I have no interest in cooperating with someone who has no awareness."

"As for you, Student Bai, I know you don't trust me, but we are at least acquaintances."

"Before the winner is officially decided, forming an alliance to solve other Masters is the best choice for both of us..."

Clearly, Emiya Shirou's attitude of dismissing the Holy Grail War as an absurd game annoyed this current head of the Tohsaka family, which was why she suddenly changed her face and said such things.

Regarding this, Bai Zeming, who had already experienced this scene, was not surprised at all.

He shook his head and said softly: "Don't worry, I still have a big move!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Emiya Shirou, his tone leisurely: "Shirou, don't you want to know the truth about that fire in Shinto ten years ago?"
