From October 19th to the 25th of the second year of the game, seven days before and after, Cheng Peng and Du Sanmiao experienced a series of fierce battles in the "Fourth Holy Grail War" copy in the moon world, and in the end all seven heroic spirits died.
, only one of the seven masters is left.
Tosanae, who survived to the end, was of course the final winner and won the coveted Holy Grail.
The power of the Holy Grail is very powerful and can provide many benefits to the recipient. Unfortunately, among these benefits, players can only choose three.
It is said that if you can win the Holy Grail in the story battle, your wish will come true several times over.
"That's impossible!" Many people were discussing this issue on the forum. A well-known moon world setting research enthusiast named "Despair" finally came to a somewhat regrettable conclusion after a long period of research and research.
, "The Holy Grail in the system plot has long been contaminated by the 'evil of this world'. If the player comes into contact with it in the master state, he is afraid that a large amount of physical fitness and life limit will be forcibly deducted, and he will become a sickly mage; and
It would be even worse if you come into contact with it in the state of a heroic spirit - who thinks that they have a soul as strong as Gilgamesh's that is strong enough to resist the 'evils of this world'?"
"Of course, you can wait for the Fifth Holy Grail War, wait until Illyasviel sacrifices his life to purify the Holy Grail, and then try to seize it - but when the plot reaches that point, the Holy Grail will be in Illyasviel's possession.
Under control, is it possible for her to hand over the Holy Grail to us instead of her brother Emiya Shirou? - That guy Emiya Shirou is protected by the protagonist's template!"
"So, in general, the plot Holy Grail is indeed a good thing, but it's a pity that most of it was not intended for us players to get it when it was set."
Of course, these are all digressions, and they are meaningless for the time being, because the plot of the "Fifth Holy Grail War" has not yet begun.
Facing the long list, Du Sanmiao thought about it for a while and finally selected three items.
The first item: additional enhancement of magic talent.
Almost every winner of the Holy Grail War will definitely choose this effect first, because for spellcasters, "magic power" is so important!
Magic talent does not just refer to magic value, it includes many aspects, such as the power of casting magic, the upper limit of magic value, the probability of comprehending magic under certain circumstances of chance and coincidence... and so on.
A person with strong magic power will not only have more magic values, but more importantly, he can learn more advanced magic and cast more powerful spells.
In fact, compared to "increasing the maximum magic value", the main effect of magic talent is in spell casting.
For example, Ding Dan is a typical player with strong magic power, so although his magic value is not particularly high, he can cast extremely powerful spells. A not-so-advanced fireball in his hand can increase his anti-magic ability.
Sunny Xiao, the high-ranking magic swordsman, was directly blown into ashes.
This technique of exerting high-level power from low-level spells is called "spell maximization" in the DND system. Only spellcasters with high magic talent can master this super-magic skill and magic attribute through arduous practice.
For those who are not good enough, no matter how hard they try, it will be in vain.
The key to Cheng Peng's poor performance in spells lies in his low magic talent.
In "Adventure", the total number of players' talents is limited. The better they develop in one aspect, the more talents will be taken up, resulting in poor performance in other aspects; and there are also conflicts between various talents.
When a certain talent is strong, the talent that conflicts with it will become weaker, without exception.
However, the Holy Grail can directly enhance the player's magic talent, and this enhancement is additional and is not restricted by the basic talent.
In other words, players who have received this enhancement can not only strengthen their magic talents, but also gain the same level of improvement through future adventures and practice like other players, and will eventually become superior in this regard.
Therefore, for any legal system player, this is the reward that will definitely be chosen first.
The second reward Du Sanmiao chose was to "weaken the inhibitory power brought by the fantasy species bloodline."
The bloodline of fantasy species is very useful for spellcasters - not to mention the improvement in physical fitness, the innate abilities brought by the bloodline are enough to make people greedy.
However, obtaining the bloodline of a fantasy species is not easy. It often requires doing a lot of tasks, consuming a lot of time and energy, and also requires the assistance of some luck factors to change one's innate bloodline and become a fantasy species - a king who has a good relationship with Cheng Peng.
This is how the tiger obtained the "Musk Dynasty" bloodline.
There are also many lucky players who are born with the blood of fantasy species - Du Sanae is like this. This may seem good, but the system is very fair. Players with a high starting point will have more difficulty growing up than others, especially
When breaking through the bottleneck between each star level, the difficulty increases greatly.
This phenomenon is called "inhibition".
The strength of the system's inhibitory power against the fantasy bloodline is closely related to the advanced level of the innate bloodline. The stronger the innate bloodline, the stronger the inhibitory power. So far, among the top masters, there has not been a player with an innately advanced bloodline.
For Du Sanmiao, whose bloodline has been promoted to the level of "Three Hundred Year Demon" through the mission, she can rely on her own efforts to strengthen the fantasy bloodline, but to eliminate the inhibition, she can only rely on the help of the Holy Grail.
Du Sanmiao, like Cheng Peng, was one of the first players to enter the "Great Adventure". She was extremely talented and hardworking, and her luck was quite good. However, it was because of the interference of restraint that she lagged behind in the same period in terms of upgrades.
Those masters are one step ahead.
Ordinarily, with her qualifications, hard work and luck, even if she is not Xiao Moran, Chen Wumian, who is qualified to compete for the reputation of the top ten masters, should at least be a top master within a hundred of the legal system, but because of the trouble of inhibition,
, now let alone being ranked within a hundred, it would be a good thing to be able to break into the top 10,000 in the legal system.
Du Sanmiao had already suffered enough from her inhibitions, so after strengthening her magic talent, she chose to weaken her inhibitions.
Her "gap" bloodline is not particularly powerful, so the strength of her inhibitory power is not particularly strong. After being weakened by the Holy Grail, it was actually eliminated directly.
Not only that, the copy of the Holy Grail, which is not as deceptive as the Black Holy Grail in the plot, also converts the unused magic power into some bloodline energy, making it much easier for her to upgrade her bloodline next time.
After completing these two major events that she had always dreamed of, Du Sanmiao hesitated when choosing the third reward.
For her, there is nothing essential or particularly desirable for the moment.
Strengthen the power of spells? This is good, but her own spell power is quite powerful. Even if she doesn't strengthen it, she won't lose to others.
Strengthen the casting speed? This is good, but each of her advanced spells takes a long time. Even if the casting speed is strengthened, it will not make much difference - for the caster, hiding behind the companions is safe and sound.
Taking action is the right way.
Strengthen physical fitness? This is good, but it is only for those ordinary players who are not physically strong enough. As a pure-blood monster, her physical fitness is not that of a spell caster, but like a warrior of the same level.
, and then strengthen it? Why is it necessary? Does she really carry a chainsaw to fight people in close combat?
There are all kinds of benefits, all of which are quite useful, but Du Sanmiao can always find reasons to deny them.
Her eyes kept rummaging through the list, seemingly blindly.
But deep down in her heart, she actually had some thoughts that were difficult to express...
Finally, she found a few options at the bottom of the terrifyingly long list.
The contents of these options are somewhat special. None of them are aimed at the Master, but all are aimed at the Heroic Spirits. And they are not aimed at the Heroic Spirits who have won the Holy Grail, but at the Heroic Spirits who have withdrawn during the battle.
To put it bluntly, these rewards are used by the master to reward the heroic spirit who has fought side by side with him.
"That's it!" Du Sanmiao's eyes lit up and she hurriedly checked them one by one.
"Enhance attributes...well, a master doesn't need this, he is already very strong."
"Improving luck... Lucky e must be the curse of the Lancer class. As a master, he usually has good luck."
"Increase the intimacy level... ah! That's great! That's it - eh? Can it only be used on NPC heroes? Aren't you just cheating! This makes me mad!"
"Ugh?! Because your servant is a player, you need to adjust the enhancement options?! Damn it! Why didn't you adjust it from the beginning! This is a waste of my time and feelings!"
After some searching, she finally chose a special skill for Cheng Peng.
"Temporary spiritual transformation".
Transforming into a spirit body is something that every Heroic Spirit follower can do, but Cheng Peng lost his identity as a Heroic Spirit after leaving the dungeon, so this ability was naturally gone. After thinking about it carefully, Du Sanmiao felt that this ability was very useful for
For Cheng Peng, who already had a strong fighting ability, it was even more powerful.
The most important thing is that after transforming into a spiritual body, "physical attacks" in the general sense will be ineffective against him. Even ordinary pure physical reconnaissance methods will be useless against him. If combined with his innate true energy concealment ability, he will be able to attack him immediately.
Let him be called the most perfect assassin!
"Save yourself, destroy the enemy, get the best of both worlds! There is nothing more suitable than this!" Du Sanmiao nodded with satisfaction and pressed that option.
