Chapter 74

But Zhang Jiao disliked this very much, even feeling disgusted by it.

Necromancy mainly refers to magic performed on corpses.

In the words of the Middle Kingdom, it is corpse refining.

Turning the corpses of mages or fierce beasts into puppets or even zombies to be driven into battle.

To put it nicely, it's making corpses into Craft Essences.

In the eyes of the orthodox Middle Kingdom, this is an out-and-out evil path.

Zhang Jiao didn't want this Craft Essence, but he couldn't destroy it, so he could only tuck it into his robes.

Immediately after, Sigurd also opened his Craft Essence.

A sword appeared in Sigurd's hand.

This was a sword similar to his Gram, but slightly different.

Sigurd was also confused by this.

Because the system told him that this sword was also Gram.

Feng Xi couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

This sword was indeed Gram, but it was the one from Gilgamesh's treasury.

As everyone knows, Gilgamesh's treasury is said to contain all Noble Phantasms, but these Noble Phantasms always have some differences from the ones held by their original owners.

Just like the Sky Piercer and the Five Weapons of the War God.

Although there are differences in appearance, this is indeed the magic sword Gram.

Now Sigurd could try dual-wielding.

Subsequently, Feng Xi also couldn't wait to open his chest.

After all, the things opened today were quite interesting, and he also wanted to see what he could open.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 'Craft Essence: Command Chant'!"

Looking at the scantily clad Rin Tohsaka in the picture, Feng Xi almost laughed out loud.

If Rin Tohsaka saw this, she would definitely throw a tantrum.

However, the person on this card was not the future Rin Tohsaka, but the Rin Tohsaka from the parallel world "Fate/EXTRA".

The Rin Tohsaka in "Fate/EXTRA" was different from the Rin Tohsaka of this world, not only in background and experience but even in figure and hair color.

Except for her personality, they could be said to be two completely different people.

Command Chant is a new magic developed by that world's Rin Tohsaka.

Pre-set commands, and then just input magic power to activate them.

It's similar to a computer program.

Write the commands in advance, and use them directly when needed.

It completely eliminates the intermediate process of magic chanting.

Feng Xi used this Craft Essence directly, and knowledge related to Command Chant immediately appeared in his mind.

This skill would greatly improve his spellcasting.

Luck seems good today; maybe I should open the extra chests as well.

Mapo Priest: "Feng Xi, where shall we meet?"

Just then, Kirei Kotomine kept calling Feng Xi in the group.

"Oh, almost forgot."

Feng Xi slapped his forehead; he had almost forgotten about this.

This was related to his bet with Gilgamesh.

Feng Xi directly stated a location in the group.

That was a Middle Kingdom cuisine restaurant that Feng Xi had discovered by accident before.

Because the owner was old and his son didn't like learning to cook, he was already considering closing the shop and retiring.

Although the taste was only average, the kitchen was quite formal and had a large stove.

Feng Xi arrived at the shop first, paid the owner to rent the kitchen, and asked the owner to help him purchase some ingredients and seasonings.

There were no customers in the shop all day, so the owner naturally agreed happily.

Subsequently, Feng Xi began to prepare.

To win against Gilgamesh, he was going to set Kirei Kotomine on another path of no return today.

"Clatter..."

Not long after, Kirei Kotomine also arrived here.

As soon as he opened the door, a spicy scent rushed out, making Kirei Kotomine's heart stir.

Logically speaking, this smell should be very pungent, but he felt an inexplicable throb in his heart.

Without speaking, Kirei Kotomine sat directly at the bar, watching Feng Xi busy at work.

Note: The kitchen of this shop is open-style.

"Alright, please have a taste."

Soon, Feng Xi, having finished his work, placed a plate of Mapo Tofu in front of Kirei Kotomine.

This plate of Mapo Tofu was bright red, looking like burning charcoal.

Hassan of the Hundred Faces, who was in spirit form on the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, almost thought Feng Xi had poisoned the dish.

And Kirei Kotomine, looking at this plate of fiery red Mapo Tofu, felt the throb in his heart grow even stronger.

This was an emotion he had never felt before, called desire.

He subconsciously picked up a spoon and started eating.

"Ah-woo..."

After one mouthful of tofu went down, a smile appeared on Kirei Kotomine's lips involuntarily.

His dead, silent heart had risen with new feelings.

This feeling made him feel very fulfilled.

Is this the feeling of satisfaction?

"Is it that delicious?"

The owner, who had been watching for a long time, was a bit curious and scooped some leftovers from the pot into his mouth.

"Cough cough! Ptooey ptooey..."

The owner, who had just taken a sip, was immediately burned by the spice and rushed to the back to find milk.

At the same time, he cursed Feng Xi and Kirei Kotomine in his heart.

Were these two doing this on purpose to mess with him?

One put who knows how much chili in the cooking, and the other was eating it with such relish.

And watching the owner's appearance, a third emotion Kirei Kotomine had never felt before rose in his heart.

This emotion is called pleasure.

He had found his future goal.

With this mood, Kirei Kotomine quickly finished the large plate of Mapo Tofu.

"Can you tell me what this food is?"

Kirei Kotomine asked Feng Xi very respectfully, like a child seeking knowledge.

"Oh, Mapo Tofu."

Feng Xi didn't hide anything and told him directly.

"Mapo..."

Hearing this name, Kirei Kotomine was stunned.

He had never understood why the system gave him the name Mapo Priest; so that was why.

The system had actually been reminding him all along, but he hadn't noticed.

Kirei Kotomine immediately felt even more awe for the Q&A group.

"Thank you."

Kirei Kotomine stood up and bowed to Feng Xi to express his gratitude.

After all, having solved the problem that had plagued him his whole life, Feng Xi was worthy of this bow.

"Ah, it's nothing."
