Chapter 50: What Should Come Always Comes
Gilgamesh really deserves to be a famous tyrant in the world of Xingyue, even if he just killed a clone projection, he also provided Zhou Xiaoning with 3 million source power points, not only to make up for the consumption in the previous war, but also a small part of the surplus.

In addition, Zhou Xiaoning also got twenty-three source cards, which is definitely the most time that Zhou Xiaoning has ever killed a single target and exploded the source card.
However, most of them are treasures in the king's treasure, and there are a lot of them, but they are all four-star quality, which does not help Zhou Xiaoning much, so it is useless to keep them, and it is a pity to abandon them.
However, there are also good things, such as the five [Golden Rules], [Leadership Ability], [Divinity], [King's Treasure], and [Heavenly Lock] in Zhou Xiaoning's hand.
The Golden Rule can be said to be an important factor in Gilgamesh's ability to become a tyrant, it is a passive skill that doesn't help much in combat, but it can improve one's fortune and even the odds of encountering treasures. And when it acts on Zhou Xiaoning, that is, the source force points obtained will be increased to a certain extent, and the source card explosion rate will also increase.
[Leadership] is also a passive skill, and it has no actual combat effect, but it can imperceptibly enhance the loyalty of subordinates, and on the battlefield, it also has a bonus effect on the morale of your own army.
Zhou Xiaoning can be regarded as a big man no matter how he says it now, there are many people under his hands, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no half-hearted people. Although leadership cannot completely eradicate such a situation, at least it can reduce the chance of being betrayed.
The above two skills were originally five-star skills, and Zhou Xiaoning spent 6.5 million source power points to upgrade them to six-star, and the specific effect is not visible for the time being, but it should not disappoint Zhou Xiaoning.
[Divinity] This source card Zhou Xiaoning already has one in his hand, but compared with the one that exploded after killing the King of Conquest, Gilgamesh's one is obviously taller, but what is the specific use, Zhou Xiaoning still needs to explore it carefully.
The remaining two source cards are what Zhou Xiaoning attaches the most importance to.
Needless to say, Gilgamesh's signature treasure can store or take out anything that it qualifies as a treasure, and at the same time, it can also eject the treasure like a bullet, and the power should not be underestimated, I don't know how many heroic spirits died with hatred under this trick. In addition, the King's Treasure also has the ability to restore the collection, otherwise Gilgamesh would not have squandered all kinds of treasures so carelessly.
It's just that what Zhou Xiaoning got was the [King's Treasure], that is, this treasure house, but it did not contain the treasures in the treasure house, which means that Zhou Xiaoning only got an empty shell.
The star rating of [King's Treasure] is based on the quantity and quality of its collections, and a single treasure house is not even a star.
Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoning still had some hidden goods in his hands, and he put the treasures he had obtained before, as well as the magic weapons he refined when he practiced alchemy, into the king's treasure, and finally upgraded it to a four-star level.
Zhou Xiaoning, who was unwilling, tried to fuse the [Magic Weapon Manifestation] and the [King's Treasure], and as a result, the [King's Treasure] had an ability that made Zhou Xiaoning excited. In the future, as long as Zhou Xiaoning has a treasure in the king's treasure, the king's treasure will record it, which is equivalent to having a ready-made mold.
And this ability can be carried out in batches, so that the Hidden Sword Diagram can be honorably retired.
Thanks to this, the [King's Treasure] has also been upgraded to six stars, as long as it is a magic weapon that does not exceed this level, Zhou Xiaoning can manifest it.
Finally, there is the [Heavenly Lock], which is a powerful weapon against the existence of gods and beasts. The stronger the divine existence, the more difficult it is to break free after being trapped by the lock of heaven, and can only let Zhou Xiaoning kill him.
In addition, the automatic recovery ability of [King's Treasure] is also the credit of [Heavenly Lock], if it weren't for it, Zhou Xiaoning would use King's Treasure to launch a wave of barrage, and afterwards he had to pick up the treasures launched one by one, which was simply low.
Zhou Xiaoning's time to count the loot seems to be quite long, but in fact, it is only about a minute before and after.
And this minute is exactly the time when the small chalice connects to the big chalice and releases the "black mud".
The so-called "black mud" is actually the product of the magic stored in the Holy Grail, which has been contaminated by the evil of this world.
"Black mud" has a strong pollution, not only to the environment, but also to the soul, all those who have come into contact with it, whether it is human beings or heroic spirits, most of them will be blackened by it, only a few strong-willed people can not be affected by it.
Zhou Xiaoning asked himself if he was not this kind of person, but with the support of the source disk and the dragon soul bead, he was not afraid of these "black mud".
"You guys hurry up, run as far as you can, this is no longer something you can handle." Zhou Xiaoning recovered his body and found Artoria and said.
"Is that why you're stopping us from snatching the Holy Grail, it's disgusting."
Emiya Kiritsugu's face was grim, and after seeing these "black mud", he had no intention of continuing to snatch the Holy Grail. He looked down at the three spells that were still well preserved on the back of his hand, and began to plan something in his mind.
Zhou Xiaoning had read the original book, and with Emiya Kiritsugu's actions at this time, he didn't know what Emiya Kiritsugu was thinking, and immediately spoke up to stop him: "Emiya Kiritsugu, don't think about letting Artoria liberate the Sword of Victory of the Oath of Victory to destroy the Holy Grail, that won't work, except for expanding the 'hole' and making the 'black mud' spread faster, there is no benefit at all." ”
"So, we really don't have anything to do?" Artoria said with some reluctance.
The appearance of "Black Mud" confirms what Zhou Xiaoning said at the beginning, although Artoria is desperate to save Great Britain, she will not resort to such evil things. Artoria thought of going together with Emiya Kiritsugu before, wanting to free the Sword of Victory of the Oath to destroy the Holy Grail and end all this, but when she heard Zhou Xiaoning say this, she was a little jealous and didn't dare to make a move.
"It will take time to find a way, but before that, let's stop the 'black mud' from spreading."
Zhou Xiaoning divided into four avatars, occupying the four directions, and working together to mobilize the energy of the light element, forming an enchantment of light, sealing the entire Liudong Mountain inside.
Light elemental energy has its own purifying power, which can restrain the evil of this world. However, Zhou Xiaoning is not very good at the use of light element energy, let alone comprehending the law of light, so he can only temporarily inhibit the spread of "black mud", but he cannot completely eliminate the evil of this world.
The evil of this world will not be eliminated, as long as the magic power is sufficient, there will be as many "black mud" as there are. Liudong Mountain was originally one of the three spiritual lands in Dongmu City, and the leylines contained this large amount of magic power, plus the magic left by the six heroic spirits, even if Zhou Xiaoning did it with all his might, I am afraid that he would not be able to last long.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, do you really want to go in?"
Zhou Xiaoning smiled bitterly, he really regretted taking this drudgery. But the matter has come to this, Zhou Xiaoning has to enter if he doesn't enter, the failure of the trial is small, if he is trapped in this world by those two little Lori, it will be a big loss.
"Hey, what do you want to do!"
Artoria saw that Zhou Xiaoning actually raised his legs and walked towards the "black mud", thinking that he couldn't think about it, so she hurriedly pulled him back.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and if I want to solve the crisis in front of me, the only way to do it is to kill the source of the evil in this world. Wild goose night, Sakura and the family will depend on you to take care of it in the future. Emiya Kiritsugu, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise, I haven't found a way to cure Alice Phil yet, but there is enough vitality in this bead to allow her to live like a normal person for sixty years, with such a long time, and with the help of the power of the Einzberen family, I should be able to find a way. By the way, this is also for you, with it you have the qualifications to negotiate with the Einzberren family, whether it is for them to save Alice Phil or take Illya away, they should not dare not agree. ”
Zhou Xiaoning seemed to be explaining the aftermath, first handed over a scroll to Jian Tong Yanye, it was a compulsory contract, and most of the people in the Jian Tong family left their names on it, and it was precisely because of this that those people in the Jian Tong family would obediently serve him. Now that Zhou Xiaoning has handed it over to Jian Tongyan Ye, it can be regarded as a complete decentralization.
What Zhou Xiaoning handed over to Wei Gong Kiritsu was a green bead containing huge vitality, which could continue my Alice Phil's life, even if it still failed to solve Alice Phil's physical hidden dangers in the end, sixty years was enough for the two of them to grow old together.
As for the other thing, it is the hidden sword diagram. After Zhou Xiaoning has the [King's Treasure], he won't need this thing, there are still thousands of flying swords stored in it, and it's a pity to throw it away, leaving it to the Wei Gong Kiritsu, which can be regarded as waste reuse. With Emiya Kiritsugu's ability and the hidden sword map as a hole card, it is more than enough to fight against the Einzberen family.
In the end, Zhou Xiaoning looked at Artoria and wanted to explain something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.
After a short silence, Zhou Xiaoning seemed to have made up his mind, and pressed his hands on Artoria's shoulders and said, "Liya, please allow me to call you that." In my heart, you have always been beautiful and perfect, and the first time I saw you, I felt a heartbeat. If I could, I wish you could be my woman. ”
Artoria was stunned, she never expected Zhou Xiaoning to tell her this. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Zhou Xiaoning held her mouth down with her index finger.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, let's make an agreement, before the next meeting, think about my words, and give me the answer when the time comes."
Zhou Xiaoning didn't care whether Artoria objected or not, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then turned his head and walked towards the richest part of the "black mud", that is, the place where the Holy Grail was located.
Looking at the back of Zhou Xiaoning's departure, the three of Artoria invariably gave birth to a feeling of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return". They don't necessarily know the poem, but that's what it means.
In contrast, Artoria's mood was even more complicated, she was still thinking about Zhou Xiaoning's previous words, although the next meeting was unexpected, but what if she did, how should she answer at that time, agree, or oppose?
Well, it was a question worth pondering, and she needed to think about it.
