When Does This World Have a Blood Bar Displayed?

   Chapter 169 Draw Cards

   - Servant summons.

This is also a key research project of Chaldea, and the reason why Musta Hinako agreed to Chaldea's invitation is largely because of such a project, so she does not need to doubt her knowledge of Servant Summoning. Every step is well understood.

If you use your own abilities to directly summon a Servant, you will undoubtedly need quite complicated magic rituals. However, because the singularity is equivalent to a special Holy Grail War, the difficulty of summoning is actually reduced a lot, even even if Even without a Master, a Servant can always be summoned spontaneously...

   Chaldea has been able to go all the way to this point, thanks to the help of those servants.

   In each singularity, there are some heroes who are weak and weak, but still insist on fighting alone, and hit it off with the last master who protects human nature, and often can create miracles.

  Because it is the power of the Holy Grail that summons the Servant, being a Master is just a link between the Heroic Spirit and the world, and it is enough to provide the magic power that materializes in the Heroic Spirit's world. But the steps are still to go, if there is no Chaldean table... that shield--

  The first step is to use fresh blood, mercury, dissolved gems and other magic materials to draw a magic circle on the ground.

   The so-called Summoning Array is composed of four "Retreat" arrays surrounding the "Spirit of Spirit" array. As a whole, it looks like a large circle is nested within a small circle, and the small circle is surrounded by a six-pointed star's array.

The    patterns are relatively simple, but those incantations that look like patterns are somewhat obscure.

Gu Mo seized this rare opportunity, stood by and watched with interest, but firmly memorized every step, including the details of the magic circle, the movements and gestures necessary to activate the magic, and the basics. Mantras chanted, blah, blah, blah.

Because he just stood by and watched so generously, mustard young child didn't think too much. After all, he didn't consider that this person was actually stealing the teacher. He probably also thought that Gu Mo was a pseudo-servant, and his body might still be the same. A strong alchemist or a real person doesn't need to do such a thing at all.

   "I swear here..."

   After checking the magic circle and confirming that the magic circle was correct, the girl from the literature department chanted a spell aloud and summoned the hero on the other side of time and space.

   "From the wheel of repression, guardian of the scales—!"

The magic power in the body is accelerating along with the chant. For ordinary mortals, this kind of pain is enough to make them faint and lose consciousness, but Katsuhiko obviously doesn't feel it at all, and the magic circle is also lit up. The ray of light, the magic in the surrounding air was stirred up, lightning thundered, and the wind and clouds rolled.

  The atmosphere was bulging, and the wind roared in the valley so violently that it was hard to keep the eyes open.

The witcher girl who was standing on the side watching curiously took a step back subconsciously, stretched out her hand to block in front of her, and turned her face away, while Gu Mo and Kikyo next to her were watching seriously. His long hair fluttered in the strong wind.

   The summoned pattern shines brightly, and the magic friction bursts out whirlwind and lightning, which looks huge and fantastic.

However……

  Nothing, even though the summoning formation was running correctly, and even though every step of Katsuhiko was flawless, nothing happened.

The endless overflowing rays of light, the intertwined whirlwind and lightning, the shining magic circle pattern... These are just the reactions that indicate that the steps are correct and that the summoning circle is operating normally, as if plugged in The phenomenon of the plug and the indicator light of the electrical appliance lights up normally is normal.

   Until everything stopped, the wind and clouds rolled, lightning and thunder, all dissipated in the air like clouds and mists, and restored to the original magic power itself, and no hero's figure appeared in the summoning array.

   As expected, it failed.

  “…”

  “…”

Mustard Hinako seemed to be in a daze, but she quickly recovered. She was mentally prepared for this, and before the start, Gu Mo also reminded her that the summoning was likely to fail... To be honest, this "Probably" is actually a very euphemism.

   It's like there are only three stones in hand, and only one single draw can be made...

   At least for now, Mustard Hinako does not have the same luck as the fate of the European emperor.

   She took a deep breath, hid her complicated eyes behind her glasses, and shook her head calmly: "It seems that there is no way, the summoning failed..."

   "This is also the expected result, you don't have to be too disappointed, Miss Musta Hinako."

Gu Mo is quite calm about this, probably just as the First Emperor sealed Alaya in the Chinese Lostbelt, making the realm record belt unable to connect with the world and isolating the Heroic Spirit Seat, then the same reason, the singularity The world is estimated to have encountered a similar situation.

  Although it is not completely isolated, the signal is definitely very unstable.

   "But then, I don't have a Servant, so I might not be able to help you much..."

  The girl from the literature department still looked a little gloomy, but she did not forget to maintain her current personality, she smiled reluctantly and said so softly. It seems that her mood is low because of such a reason, and the reason why she wants to summon a heroic spirit is also the same.

   Her current character is one of the seven members of Group A among the forty-eight master candidates of Chaldea, who was born in the Clock Tower and is widely known for witch studies.

Since it's just the character of the Master, she can't go forward and tear the enemy, so naturally she will summon the heroic spirit, which is a reasonable statement... Anyway, she has no intention of revealing her true identity at present, nor does she Even though she intends to use that terrifying power, she still maintains the image of a weak literature girl.

   "Well, it's not really a big problem..." Gu Mo thought for a while while pinching his chin, but he was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The screams with amazing momentum resounded abruptly throughout the valley. Everyone subconsciously followed the sound and found that a black-haired girl appeared at the entrance of the valley. She was dressed elegantly, boldly and gorgeously. charm.

It is an incomparably attractive sight, an incomparably convincing and powerful charm that subconsciously obeys its opinions, and it is also the divine manifestation of the Goddess of Beauty, even in the state of being possessed by the divine spirit and possessed by human beings. Due to the strong request of the person of the body, many effects were removed, and the original EX rank was reduced to the B rank.

   But this charm is still beyond the realm of people.

   This kind of air... is it a god? No, it seems to be a Divine Servant.

Mustard Hinako instinctively became vigilant, and at the same time carefully looked at the black-haired girl who appeared on the opposite side. After realizing that the other party did not seem to be an enemy or a human being, she was relieved, and at the same time, she also realized more deeply that this late stage of the God Age. What is the singularity.

  ——The Servants of Divinity appeared so carelessly!

  —— After all, she had never participated in the previous trip to the singularity point. She didn’t know what the situation was, so she subconsciously used the normal experimental results of Chaldea as the standard.

"What is your gem, it's obviously mine, okay..." Gu Mo pouted, watching Ishtar rushing over like a whirlwind, gnashing his teeth at the magic circle made of gem powder on the ground , very clearly point out the inappropriateness of the other party's words.

   "Humph!" Ishtar gritted his teeth fiercely, his voice full of regret and pain: "Why use gems!"

As usual, she came to visit the door and saw this guilt-filled scene directly, which made the goddess a little excited. Her eyes were pinned to the ground, staring at the magic circle pattern with a diameter of two or three meters. Not too big, but not too small to be there.

   And the most important thing is... this intricate magic circle pattern, all the lines and stripes are drawn by gem powder.

"Because there are only gems in hand, and aren't these things used for?" Gu Mo said very calmly, there must be no blood from the sacrifices here, and he didn't want to use the blood of monsters, for fear of contacting directly. On the Goddess of Creation.

   And there is no mercury, the most suitable material for drawing a magic circle is divided into two, and the rest is naturally only the option of grinding gems into powder.

"Nonsense, gems are supposed to be treasured... Don't you feel guilty for accumulating things like this?" Ishtar waved his hands around in excitement. Those crystal powders looked extremely pure at first glance. A good gem is now being wasted so extravagantly.

This is not one or two. If the entire magic circle is depicted in this way, the number of gems ground into powder is still quite large. At least she, a goddess who has no relationship with gems, may not be able to collect them in a hundred years. quantity.

"No, what you can use is meaningful. If you need to use it, you should use it..." Gu Mo replied very plainly. Although he also has the player's hamster disease, it does not mean that he can only get in and can't. The collected things are not intended to be used at all, but are used for collection.

   "Damn, if you have so many gems, why don't you just give it to me!"

  Ishtar's teeth are itchy, and he almost wants to punch this person directly. This is definitely mocking himself.

"Give it to you? It's not impossible..." Gu Mo put his hand on his chin, thinking seriously, looking up and down at Ishtar, and then glanced at the mustard child next to him, wondering what he was thinking. what.

   "What bad things are you thinking about?" The black-haired girl looked at him with some vigilance, "Tell you, I won't agree to things that are too much."

   "How come, it's not too much..." Gu Mo showed a hearty smile, "If you want gems, you can. Sign a contract with us, how about becoming a magical girl?"

"what?"

  Ishtar was stunned for a moment, but then he realized it, looking at the oriental immortal in front of him with a strange expression, "You want to sign a contract with me and become my master? Aren't you also a Servant?"

   "Of course it's not me, it's this Miss Mustard Hinako..."

  Gu Mo pointed at the girl with literary glasses who was listening carefully. The latter was stunned for a moment, and looked at her unresponsively.

My current character is also a pseudo-servant, and naturally it is not suitable for the job of the master. Kikyo probably doesn't get along with this overly lively goddess, although everyone plays bows... As for Ciri, this is still considered. Now, just the witcher girl's magic power——

   I am afraid that it is difficult to support the consumption of a divine servant, and signing a contract is not a good choice for both parties.

Therefore, only Katsuhiko is suitable. On the surface, her character is a full-time magician as the master, and recommending her to sign a contract with Ishtar can not only effectively increase her trump card, but also make His previous statement became more plausible.

After all, if Mustard Hinako has never been able to get a Servant, then Gu Mo can't seem to believe that she, the "Visitor of Chaldea", was built on the basis of what was the last magician to save human beings, and Chaldea is the last of mankind. The claims of hope would also appear somewhat dubious.

Just like Fujimaru Rika, if she has no followers from beginning to end, only herself, then who would believe that this lonesome Master can do anything? What, believe that she has the ability to save the world, This is obviously not possible.

   Guessing that, she would have doubts herself.

"Hey, that's not from your side, what's the difference..." Ishtar looked at the newly emerged double ponytail, and soon lost interest, mainly because the camouflage of Mustard Hinako was actually real It's very good, on the surface, it's hard to find her details.

In this form of   Ishtar, there is no magic eye or insight skills. Naturally, he feels that this is an ordinary magician, which does not arouse her interest.

   "But I won't agree to this proposal. Although I'm still happy that you gave me the gem, this amount is not enough to bribe me..."

Lady Goddess curled her lips and decisively rejected the other party. She was able to accept the previous exchange and exchanged gems through her own labor, because she really had no way to get enshrined from other places, and she also wanted to protect the people of Uruk. things to do, so they will agree to go with the flow.

   But if you want to sign her directly, it's not that simple, Ishtar can see it to some extent, and the number of gems on Gu Mo's hand is not particularly large.

   And in the final analysis, this has nothing to do with the number, mainly because she is a goddess, she has her own restraint...

   "Do you think the ore in Uruk's treasury is enough?" Out of nowhere, she heard such a sentence from the other side.

   "Huh?" Ishtar froze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, she suddenly understood, her eyes first lit up, but it didn't last for a few seconds, and she immediately became suspicious: "How is it possible, that guy Gilgamesh can't allow this kind of thing to happen, I... ...I'm not so gullible..."

   She would never believe this kind of thing. After all, every time she went to Uruk, she would be beaten and run away, and the other side didn't care if she was the urban **** of Uruk!

snort! It makes me angry just thinking about it...

  If she hadn't been yelling all the time and actually didn't want to hurt Uruk at all, she would have used the divine bow to blow up the palace long ago...

"This can't be said. Even if it is impossible to give you all the ores in the treasure house, it should be feasible to give up some of the ores. After all, it has been such a long time. King Gilgamesh should also know that once Uruk has been breached, and the treasure in the treasury will not be of any use..."

   With the idea of ​​a black belly, Gu Mo seriously analyzed the situation for Ishtar, and he knew that Lady Goddess would definitely not believe this kind of thing.

  I don’t believe it, okay, that way he has room to operate.

Listening to this man talking eloquently, Ishtar couldn't help but feel a little tempted. Although he still subconsciously felt that this situation was a bit mystical, he still had a little idea. , can't you make a lot of money yourself?

  emmmmmm... I feel this proposal is totally okay!

As for whether you have any ideas, such as skipping the middleman and going to Uruk to discuss it yourself, the goddess has never thought about such an idea, so she will not bow to the opposite side, this is absolutely impossible matter!

"Well...if you can guarantee it, then it's not impossible..." The lady goddess who was moved said so, in a arrogant tone, at the same time one foot gently kicked the stones on the ground, slender The golden high heels and the curves of the wonderful calf that have never been seen before are particularly eye-catching.

   "Then it's settled, I should be sure to convince King Gilgamesh to give out 20% of the ore in the treasure house..."

   Gu Mo, who is familiar with the plot, nodded again and again. As for the remaining achievement, he considered it as his hard work. Although he didn't actually do anything, he still worked hard for himself.

   "Yeah, that's the deal..." Ishtar was overjoyed, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

   Both parties who reached an agreement are very happy and feel that they have made a lot of money.

   Probably the only one who wasn't very happy was Mustard Hinako, her expression was a little complicated, Gu Mo blinked and took a small step closer, comforting in a low voice as if he had misunderstood her thoughts:

"Miss Mustard Hinako, don't be too disappointed, let's make do with a partner first, although this lady goddess is a little greedy for money, she always seems unreliable when she loses the chain at a critical moment, and she hasn't even been found until now. Where did the trump card fall... but when the flaws are removed, she has no flaws."

  When the flaws are removed, will there be no flaws?

   Mustard Hinako was stunned for a moment, what consolation is this, and she is not lost because of this, okay?

"I, I understand... Thank you, Senior Mo." But at this time, it was really difficult to express her true thoughts. In order to maintain her personality, she pursed her lips and said this in a calm tone as much as possible, hesitating. For a moment, thank the person in front of you.

   It's rare to be called a senior so quietly by Katsuhiko...

   Knowing that all this was a disguise, Gu Mo shook his eyebrows and felt it was very subtle. After all, after recovering his true nature, Mustard Hinako was quiet now, and how irritable he was in the back. He still knew this.

"Hey, what are you mumbling about, come quickly if you want to sign a contract..." Ishtar urged over and over there, 20% of the ore in Uruk's treasury, just thinking about it made the goddess enthralled. , in any case will not miss such an opportunity.

   "Then, that... Can we find another place? I have something to talk to Lord Ishtar alone."

   Musta Hinako said, showing a somewhat troubled expression.

Although she has always disguised herself well, if she signs a contract, there is a direct connection between the contract and magic power. It is estimated that Ishtar will find the problem at the first time... She doesn't want to be exposed, she can only express that she has some secrets and needs to be alone Talk about it.

   "Is that so... Then come with me."

  Ishtar looked at the girl with two ponytails in front of her with a playful look. She nodded, and stretched out her hand to attract her huge flying bow-like ship of God.

   Just a flash of light, and the two girls disappeared directly into the valley.

  “…”

  “…”

   "That bow is pretty good. I don't know how many gems she will need to sell it. Do you have any intention of Kikyo?" Gu Mo was the first to break the silence and said jokingly.

   "No, I don't need that thing..." The witch shook her head lightly and refused.

"Equipment is actually very important. You only have the Feather's Feather Clothes... By the way, are you wearing the Feather's Feather now?" Gu Mo expressed his opinion very casually, and suddenly thought of something. His eyes wandered slightly on the Miko's body.

   The somewhat large witch costume concealed the beautiful figure of the girl.

  If the Heavenly Girl Feather Clothes are equipped, it is not outside, so this is...

   "What are you looking at! Don't think nonsense!" The witch seemed a little embarrassed, she turned around and walked to the wooden house over there.

"Well, I, I'm going to practice today's homework..." The witcher girl also laughed dryly, and quickly sped up and left here. She always feels a little afraid to approach Gu Mo, especially when she is alone. I don't even know if I'm worried that I've accidentally been sold.

   Only Gu Mo was left in the valley.

  He shrugged helplessly, smiled disapprovingly, and then moved his gaze to the still-complete summoning formation on the ground not far away.
