Chapter 30: Summoning the Holy Grail
Medusa finally decided to give up her identity as a Heroic Spirit and live a new life like a real human. The past was only painful for her, so there was nothing to be nostalgic for, and for her, it was naturally good to be able to start over.
"Rider, I must warn you that once I drain the magic and the origin of the world from your body, you will become extremely weak, not even a normal adult woman. If you return to Valhalla, Gaia and Alayya's abilities will soon restore you to your prime. But if you refuse to return, then you can only rely on your own cultivation to recover slowly, and you will also completely lose the qualification to return to Valhalla, once something happens and unfortunately dies, you will die completely, and there will be no chance of rebirth. So...... Have you really figured it out? ”
Zhou Xiaoning's expression was extremely serious, after all, this is related to Medusa's future, so it is better for her to think about it as comprehensively as possible.
"Yes, I've already decided, please do it, Your Excellency."
Medusa resolutely said that even though she knew that doing so would make her lose her immortal privilege and become extremely weak, Medusa still did not change her original intention. Instead of dwelling on the painful past and sinking endlessly, it is better to give it a go.
"In that case, then I'll get started."
Zhou Xiaoning walked in front of Medusa and stood still, pressed Medusa's forehead with his right hand, and the next moment, the [Universal Extraction] was activated.
Medusa's strength is actually not weak, which can be seen from the fact that the magic power contained in her body is second only to Artoria and Hercules, and comparable to Cúchulainn. The reason why many people think she is not strong enough is that most of them are misled by the original plot.
In the original plot, it was actually Sakura Makiri who summoned Medusa, so Sakura Makiri is the master of the root Miao Hong. However, Shinji Maki forcibly snatched Medusa from Sakura Makiri through the [Book of False Ministers] and appeared in front of people as a fake master.
Although he is also a member of the Kiriri's family, Shinji Makiri doesn't have a magic circuit, a real Muggle, and he can't even supplement Medusa's daily consumption of mana, and in the end, Medusa consumes Sakura's magic power. Let's ask, how can such a royal lord let Medusa exert all her due strength, and it is also poor Medusa who has become the first heroic spirit to leave the Fifth Holy Grail War with such a scum.
However, due to Zhou Xiaoning's intervention, as early as ten years ago, Jian Tong Shinji was sealed by Zhou Xiaoning with all his memories of magic, and then sent to the side family of the Jian Tong family to take care of, and now he is an ordinary rich second generation, and there is no chance to come out of the waves.
Since Medusa cooperated throughout the process, the extraction process was smooth. And at the moment when the magic and the origin of the world were separated, Medusa was suddenly invaded by an unprecedented sense of weakness, her legs were weak, and she was about to collapse.
“Rider…… No, Medusa, are you alright. ”
Sakura had been paying attention to Medusa, and seeing that she was so weak, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold her up. In the past, Sakura didn't really feel the word "body without bones", but now she knows, it's probably Medusa.
"It's okay Master, I'm just a little uncomfortable with the feeling of losing my magic, just take a break."
Although her body is very weak, Medusa's spirit is good, after all, losing her magic is equivalent to giving up the past, how can she not feel excited?
"Sakura, just call me Sakura."
Sakura corrected Medusa's address to herself with a serious face, and then said with a smile, "From now on, we are friends. So, it's too much to call Master, Rider or something. That's why I'll call you Medusa, and you can just call me Sakura. ”
"Friend......"
Medusa looked distracted, she had forgotten how long it had been since she had heard the word. After all, except for her two sisters, the people she met were either ordinary people who avoided her and regarded her as a monster, or they were heroes who wanted to kill her and achieve great things. And neither of these two people would want to be friends with her.
"Well, we're friends already."
Sakura grabbed Medusa's hands tightly, and there was a posture that Medusa would not let go if she didn't agree.
"Okay Sakura, you can let Medusa have a good rest first. The future is long, and the rest is left for later. ”
Zhou Xiaoning stood up to relieve Medusa, strictly speaking, it has been less than three days since Medusa was summoned, and it is not like in the original plot, knowing the experience of Sakura Makiri, and empathizing with it, so it is reasonable to seem a little angry. There is no urgency to cultivate feelings, otherwise it is likely to backfire.
"By the way, Sakura, now that the magic that keeps Medusa alive is provided by you, how about it, can you still afford it?"
"It's okay, after all, Medusa ......"
Sakura glanced at Medusa in her arms and held back the next words. However, everyone present understood what she wanted to express, the current Medusa weak face battle five scum is not as good, and the magic consumption used to maintain her existence is not as much as the automatic recovery of Kirizakura.
"That's good, when you go back, you can also teach Medusa the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao to cultivate, and after she can absorb the magic of the outside world on her own, she doesn't need to rely on you all the time."
As soon as she heard this, Jian Tong Sakura immediately smiled and said, "Well, I know, thank you, Brother Ning!" ”
You must know that the magic revision "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao" passed on by Zhou Xiaoning to Jian Tong Ying is different from the traditional magic practice method of the Moon World, and there is no need to rely on magic circuits, as long as the qualifications are not hopelessly bad, anyone can refine their magic power by practicing this exercise and step into the ranks of magicians, which is a big impact on the mysterious side of the Moon World. If this is guided by the Magic Association, a designated quota for a seal is indispensable.
In order not to cause trouble to Zhou Xiaoning, Jian Tong Yanye and Jian Tong Ying have done a very good job of secrecy, and they have not circulated a word for ten years. Just like this time, even though Jian Tong Ying knew that "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao" was good for Medusa, Zhou Xiaoning didn't speak, and she didn't dare to teach it privately.
Originally, Jian Tongying also planned to ask Zhou Xiaoning in private, but she didn't expect Zhou Xiaoning to bring it up herself, which saved her a lot of heart.
In fact, this is just a matter of high and low horizons. The magic version of "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao" is an amazing exercise in the eyes of Jian Tong Ying, but in Zhou Xiaoning's eyes, it is just passable, since it is passed on to Jian Tong Ying, it is not her thing, who she wants to give it to, he will not mind.
"Alright, let's arrange Medusa's affairs like this first. Now, you all stand back, I'm going to start summoning the Holy Grail. ”
As he spoke, Zhou Xiaoning threw the Golden Holy Grail, along with the magic power and world origin that had just been extracted from Medusa's body, into the air, and then separated a part of the source power and activated the Holy Grail magic array hidden inside the Yuanzang Mountain, using the magic power and world origin of the six heroic spirits as a sacrifice to summon the true Holy Grail to descend.
