Chapter 63: The First Night Talk
In short, with the support of external magic, the Oblivion City Sect has the same "ability to act independently" as Caster... No, it may not be appropriate to say this, but the correct statement should be that "the reason why Caster can have such a free movement is due to this Luoyan City textbook".
"So... The Tick Worm has stopped? β
The supply of magic has been guaranteed, which is no different from the master of ceremonies' previous expectations, but in fact, this magic power is still passed through the intermediary of Yanye, although there should be no problem expected, but here is still to confirm.
But accidents can ensue.
Yan Ye shook his head, his voice was already very weak
"No, even if you use the magic power extracted from the magic book, the engraved worm in your body will still be stimulated."
ββ¦β
As if deliberately to retaliate against the previous master of ceremonies' concealment, the corners of Yan Ye's mouth did not lead to a light smile until this time.
"But I found a better solution here."
He flipped through the pages of the book before finally stopping at one of the previous pages.
After that, it was again a long mantra chanted.

After pushing open the door of the cellar and reporting on Caster's whereabouts, Qili was finally able to rest for a while.
Well, in fact, it's just human instinct. He had been a surrogate for a long time and had long since lost the needs of most ordinary humans.
But just after closing the door, Qili suddenly stopped...
βarcherοΌβ
The servant who was the teacher of Shi Chen actually appeared here in the Templar Church, which I have to say was greatly unexpected by Qili.
"Although the quantity is quite small, the quality is much better than the goods in Shichen's room."
The hero king lying on the sofa did not put on his battle armor, and his hair, which was originally angry and angry, also turned into neat bangs, and the only thing that remained unchanged was probably the unruly kingly spirit.
"You're an apprentice, it's really unscrupulous."
Gilgamesh raised his glass and teased the priest as if he were an iceberg.
"What the hell are you doing?"
The cold voice did not change in the slightest, and Qili's gaze swept over the mess of the room, and then began to sort out the fine wine discarded by the king on his own.
"It's just that I see that in addition to this king, there seems to be another person who is bored."
"Bored?"
If it's referring to Qili himself, it's a big mistake, he's really busy. However, the king did not pay attention to what he meant, and continued to shake his wine glass in the dim light.
"If it weren't for that, you, the master who has been protected by the church, wouldn't be running around."
β¦
Qili was silent for a moment.
"What do you mean?"
One by one, he put the scattered bottles back into the cellar
"Now, are you dissatisfied with the contract again? Gilgamesh. β
In the final analysis, Qili's current rush is just to ensure the final victory of the teacher and the king.
"Hah..."
With a laugh, the king didn't seem to care about Qili's offense, or rather, he had a special interest in this person, Gilgamesh.
"It was the minister who invited me to come and keep my body physical, and most importantly, he gave me a courtesy, so I had to show it too. But I really didn't expect him to be such a boring man. β
"So, are you dissatisfied with Teacher Shi Chen's arrangement?"
"Hmph..."
This time, there was more contempt in the Hero King's cold snort
"Arriving at the 'Vortex of Roots'? The purpose of obtaining the Holy Grail is so boring..."
Then the conversation between the two fell silent again ...
Yes, after only a few years of training as a magician, Qili also couldn't understand the teacher's fascination with the "Root Vortex", but there was no doubt that if there was anything that made a person curious and asked, it seemed that there was nothing to criticize for being so desperate.
"The desire for 'roots' is the nature of magicians, and it is not something that outsiders can say. Embarking on the path to the 'roots' is to detach ourselves to the 'outside' of the worldly realm, and for those of us who are only interested in the inner side, we can only understand it as a 'boring motive'. β
Yes, Qili has finally found a reason to convince herself... After all, he only participated in this war to let Mr. Shichen win, and as for what the latter was pursuing, it had nothing to do with him.
"I see..."
It was not so much that he recognized Qili's statement, but rather that he enjoyed the conversation itself, and the Hero King took a sip of wine, and then turned to look directly at Yanfeng Qili for the first time.
"What about you? Qili. β
"What are your desires for the Holy Grail?"
β¦
"I... I don't really want anything. β
"No way, the Holy Grail will only gather those who have a desire for him, right?"
Yes... As it should be, even if Gilgamesh doesn't say it, he understands it
"I don't understand, why I was chosen when I have no ideals and no long-cherished wishes."
"If you don't have ideals and you don't have long-cherished aspirations, wouldn't it be good to pursue pleasure?"
For Yan Feng Qili, the son of Father Yan Feng Lizheng, this problem that has nowhere to start is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Hero King... Or rightfully so.
"What a joke! Pleasure!? β
Almost without even thinking about it, Qili denied the answer... This answer is contrary to the teachings he has received for decades!
"Are you trying to get me into that sinful depravity?"
"The sins are great... Depraved? β
The Hero King finally burst out laughing
"Haluha, Qili, why do you associate 'pleasure' with 'depravity'? It is true that the pleasure that comes from evil deeds is called sin, but there is also pleasure that comes from good deeds, isn't it? β
ββ¦ I didn't have pleasure, and even though I tried to find it, I still found nothing. β
For him, a priest who promotes good deeds, if good deeds are pleasure, then he should be happy sooner... But no, he just continued to search endlessly.
"Qili, pleasure is not 'being' or 'nothing', it's just the difference between 'knowing' and 'not knowing', that is..."
The Hero King, who was sitting upright, seemed to suddenly realize something, and then the fun on his face became even more obvious
"Ha, I see, Yan Feng Qili, you really make this king more and more interested, so if you don't know why you are happy, you should come and entertain this king first, Qili, from now on you will not only focus on the strategies and intentions of the other five masters, but also understand their pursuits by the way."
Gilgamesh saw in the young priest a possibility, much more interesting than Tosaka Tokitomi.
For him, victory is nothing more than a matter of course, so at least to explore every claim in the war is the real enjoyment.
Now, the "Most Ancient Serpent" has found the luscest fruit.
