Chapter 736: The Evil Heretic
The scarlet card gradually dissolved, creating a ball of blood-red liquid that began to float calmly in the air.
After a few seconds, it began to spin slowly...
The blood-red ball spun faster and faster, and after more than ten seconds, it created a blood vortex.
After using the scarlet card, you could try your luck three times. From the scarlet card, you could get both items from the inventory and skills of the person from whom this scarlet card fell.
Su Xiao always took out a variety of items and quite rarely took out good equipment from them. As for skills...
He strongly doubted that skills could be obtained from the scarlet card, at least he hadn't taken out a single skill from the scarlet card yet.
Bubtney stopped in front of the whirlwind, looking a little nervous. After all, it was a scarlet card from a third-rank contractor.
— It's time to show off your skills, Bubtney.
— Bubtney held his head high and puffed out his chest.
Under Su Xiao's expectant gaze, Bubtni swallowed, stuck his head into the blood vortex, and started using his nose to its fullest, wanting to sniff all the things inside.
Su Xiao waited in silence, but after several minutes had passed, Bubtney still didn't take out the item. Instead, it plunged most of its body into the blood whirlpool, leaving only its hind legs and fluffy tail swaying from side to side outside.
Suddenly Bubtney's tail stopped wagging and his entire body abruptly burst out of the blood whirlpool.
Su Xiao carefully looked at Bubtney's mouth and saw that there was an object sticking out between his teeth. After a moment, he realized that it was a small statue, but from his side, Su Xiao could only see the base of it.
— Is this an item? Su Xiao asked and took out the miniature figurine from Bubtney's mouth. When he saw her, he suddenly froze.
[You have received a miniature version of the Lune model # 7 (collector's Edition).]
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
— This... A character from that mobile game? Su Xiao suddenly realized that this character was very similar to the girl from the game Bubtney had previously played. For the sake of this game, Bubtney even purchased some things that allowed him to connect to Earth's servers and network.
Although Su Xiao was mentally prepared for this, it still left him speechless for a while.
But all he had to do was accept that fact. Previously, he had taken out adult toys, so this statuette wasn't anything surprising. Moreover, judging from Bubtney's appearance, he seemed to really like this statuette.
— Go on, " Su Xiao said and put the statue aside, while Bubtny immediately dove back into the blood vortex.
There are two more attempts left.
Bubtney didn't bother much this time.
[You have received a Christmas set of lipsticks" Dior " limited edition (set of five pieces).]
This time, he took out a lipstick. Su Xiao shook his head.
[You have received Alice's Invitation.]
The blood vortex disappeared, and in Su Xiao's hand was a clean black envelope that was sealed with a red seal.
[Alice's invitation.
Origin: Unknown.
Quality: Is unknown.
Type: Invitation Letter.
Effect: Unknown.
Rating: Unknown.
Introduction: An invitation letter allowing you to log in...
Price: ???]
Su Xiao looked at the letter in his hand. Although he didn't know why the letter was needed, he knew that it was at least worth something.
He tried to open it, but the envelope was too strong.
Realizing that the usual ways to open this letter just didn't work, Su Xiao hesitated for a moment and decided to try to tear the envelope open with brute force.
He grabbed the envelope with both hands and exerted all his strength. The blood vessels on his forehead and arms began to swell...
Eventually, after half a minute, Su Xiao's face was completely red, but the envelope in his hands was only slightly dented.
All he could do now was give up.
Su Xiao began to gasp for air, and his flushed face began to quickly return to normal. This letter was surprisingly strong. He could tear apart the iron with his bare hands, but he couldn't open this letter...
But this convinced him that this letter was not simple.
— Looks like brute force alone won't be enough.
Just as Su Xiao was thinking of more extreme ways, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
When he took out his phone, he saw that he had received a call from an unknown number.
Su Xiao picked up the phone, but didn't speak first. He decided to wait for the other person to speak.
— ...
There was a full three minutes of silence.
— Emiya Kiritsugu? In the end, Su Xiao was the first to break the silence. The only one who knew about this number was Rizei. Earlier, he told him to help him contact the Einzberns.
As for the unknown number he was currently being called from, he very much doubted that any of the Einzberns would have called him using such primitive security measures. After all, this huge family obviously didn't see him as a problem and wouldn't use such stupid methods that left obvious traces behind.
Hence, the person who contacted him at this number could only be one person, and that was Emiya Kiritsugu. He didn't care about his reputation. This guy was the type of person who didn't care what they had to do to get what they wanted.
— Right. I'm calling on behalf of the Einzbern family. You want to join forces?
Right now, Emiya Kiritsugu was in a manor on the outskirts of Fuyuki. He wasn't in the city unless absolutely necessary.
— Yes, " Su Xiao replied, and a smile appeared on his face. If Emiya Kiritsugu had called him a day ago, then he would have really teamed up with him. After all, back then, third-rank contractors were a very serious and unknown threat to him.
If he had managed to contact him at that time, then all the cards would have been in his hands, but he was late and missed a great opportunity.
— What can I gain by joining forces with the creature that turned its Master into a monster?
— What do you get? How about the Holy Grail?
Right now, Emiya Kiritsugu was in the cafeteria. He was having dinner with his wife and assistant, and Saber was sitting next to him.
With each passing hour, Saber and Emiya Kiritsugu were growing apart due to their conflicting personalities. It had already reached the point where they couldn't talk to each other properly.
Right now, Emiya Kiritsugu was talking to Su Xiao after activating the speakerphone mode. There were no outsiders in the room anyway, and if there were, they were still helping him in the Holy Grail war.
Hearing Su Xiao's words about the Holy Grail, Emiya Kiritsugu's wife, Iriswil, couldn't believe her ears, while his assistant chuckled.
— Are you ready to give up the Holy Grail? Emiya asked Kiritsugu and narrowed his eyes. Even though the other person had said nice things to him, he was well aware that he couldn't trust him.
— Don't you want to? Usually, only Masters strive for the Holy Grail. Souls like me aren't interested in the Holy Grail. Should I make a wish for the Holy Grail to resurrect me? But why ? I'll still be able to come to this world later and enjoy killing without any obligations, " Su Xiao said.
He was luring Emiya Kiritsugu into a trap.
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Emiya Kiritsugu and his assistant's expressions didn't change, but Iriswil and Saber's expressions didn't turn very good, especially Saber's.
— No need to negotiate with such an evil creature. It's more expensive to work with him, " Saber said softly.
— Saber? Don't think I'm deaf. Only murderers are bad people? You've never killed anyone in your life?
— Evil heretic.
— Haha~… So what if I'm a heretic? I'd rather be him than a stupid knight.
— What did you say?! Saber said and quickly stood up. Although she knew that she was being provoked, no one could insult the knights in front of her.
