Hardy was walking on the way to the Holy Church. After yesterday's exploration, he rested for a whole day before returning to his previous state.
Of course, this day was not entirely spent on rest, but more on exploring the tower of his own and trying to clear it. Unfortunately, he failed inexplicably every time, leaving him a little confused.
This time he went to the Holy Temple Church for the reward of his command spell. At the same time, Hardy also made plans to betray the church, or at worst, use the power of Caster to fight out.
With Caster's Noble Phantasm, no matter what kind of servant he is, he can trap him for a period of time, which is why Hardy dared to come to ask for payment.
Compared with the daytime, the church at night seems quiet for a long time. The vicissitudes of life stand in the shining city neon, looking out of place, but also exceptionally harmonious.
The overcrowded auditorium was now empty, and Hardy became inexplicably alert.
Seeing Hardy's arrival, the young priest's face was still so cold and disgusted, but he still walked up to him and bowed slightly.
"Mr. Magician, Father Fawn still has some work to do. I hope you can wait here for a while."
"Oh, I see."
Hardy nodded, glanced around, and sat casually on a long wooden chair nearby, folding his arms and closing his eyes to relax.
After about ten minutes, he heard the sound of light footsteps approaching from far away. He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw Father Fawn walking this way.
"Oh, congratulations on successfully completing your mission."
Father Fawn said, a warm smile appeared on his reptile-like face, which made him feel uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it. Hardy also resisted dealing with him, after all, the reward for the stroke of the command spell had not been given to him yet.
As long as he obtains this Command Seal, he will have nothing to do with the Church in this Holy Grail War.
"We have found some conclusive evidence that confirms that the recent serial murders are inseparable from the Linglongkan family. They created new monsters similar to the Death Apostles and released them into Tokyo in an attempt to fish in troubled waters.
Win the Holy Grail War."
Hardy just listened quietly, the expression on his face did not change much, as if he was wearing a mask carved from wood.
"Of course, Mr. Hardy, your contribution is also indispensable. This command spell is your reward."
Father Fine took out the holy book from his arms and opened it to one of the pages.
"Come closer and I will rewrite the command spell for you."
After a slight hesitation, Hadi walked up to Father Fawn, and saw the priest put his fingers on his exposed skin, closed his eyes, and muttered words that seemed to be the contents of the holy scriptures.
Then a burning pain seemed to appear on the surface of his body. He glanced at the position of the Command Seal, and a new black Command Seal appeared, forming a single-winged pattern. The overall look was not very harmonious.
However, he was very satisfied. Now that he had the Four-stroke Command Seal, he had greater room for maneuver in the Holy Grail War.
After obtaining the Command Seal, Hardy left the church without much exchanges with Father Fawn.
Looking at his leaving back, Father Fawn shook his head slightly and sighed softly. The expression on his face looked a little complicated, but more of it was sarcastic, just like a hunter watching his prey step into the ground.
Same as a trap.
"Is it really okay to just hand that guy a command spell like this?"
Nicholas Harris walked out from behind. He had been paying attention here, and the dissatisfaction on his face was obvious.
Because the Command Spells given to Hardy by Father Fawn came from him, the church in the past did have some idle Command Spells that could be mobilized. However, something changed in the Holy Grail War this time, resulting in those Command Spells only being used as
It can be used as an ordinary magic crystal, and does not have the power to bind the servant.
According to his idea, he simply set up an ambush here and deployed Berserker's Noble Phantasm. Moreover, judging from yesterday's battle, that guy's servant was not the type who was good at fighting. There was a high chance of destroying an opponent.
"Just a single command spell cannot determine the outcome of the Holy Grail War, let alone..."
Father Fawn paused and continued,
"If there is no bait, how can we attract prey? This command spell is just bait. That sad magician is destined to become our prey."
"So, what's our next plan?"
Nicholas Harris sat casually on a bench and crossed his legs.
"It's very simple. We need to deal with the more difficult targets first. For example, the master of the Linglong Palace family may become our formidable enemy."
"By the way, how was your tower trial?"
"The talisman has been obtained."
For some reason, when the trial in the tower was mentioned, Nicholas' face darkened inexplicably, and his tone sounded very impatient.
"That's good."
Father Fawn nodded, not paying attention to Nicholas' abnormality.
Nicholas lowered his eyes with a gloomy look, and did not want to expand too much on this topic. He had definitely passed the trial in the tower and got the talisman, but it was not what most people thought.
"No matter how many times I defeat the weak, it has no meaning. It will only make my blade dull."
After defeating herself countless times, the woman who claimed to be the guardian of the Holy Grail and the blade of the supreme god finally threw the talisman to him and said these words. Finally she disappeared.
For the arrogant Nicholas, this sentence was tantamount to a naked insult, but when faced with that sharp blade, any resistance he had seemed so feeble.
In the end, he could only accept the talisman in humiliation and passed the trial in the tower in humiliation. However, he did not give up because of this. He would definitely make that woman pay the price for his rash actions!

………
Hardy walked towards his temporary magic workshop. He felt light and happy for a long time. No matter what the church had in mind, at least he had actually gained benefits.
As for what happens next, I won’t get involved.
Peng——
The explosion sounded in the distance, and he shook his head suddenly and looked in the direction of the explosion.
It was not the expected fire. The passers-by subconsciously stopped and looked up at the night sky lit by fireworks.
Hardy couldn't help but have a complicated smile on his face, which seemed a bit self-deprecating.
This is not his war-torn hometown, and there is no need to walk on the road with fear for fear of losing one's life in crossfire and bombings. For this country, war is already like a distant past.
"A peaceful world is so wonderful..."
He sighed softly, tightened his hood, and walked into the shadows of the street amidst the laughter of passers-by.
