"Not bad!" Luo Hao just lightly spat out two words.
Although it was only two words, it already represented Luo Hao's recognition of her.
Luo Hao didn't like people from Sakura Country, but Roxy wasn't from Sakura Country, she was from another world.
This is very important!
"You've gotten stronger, want to spar?" Esdeath asked, looking at Roxy with a face full of fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Roxy quickly waved her hands.
She'd be crazy to fight this super sadist woman!
Next, the girls surrounded Roxy, asking her all sorts of questions.
As the only male, Lin Che couldn't really participate, so he returned to the bathroom to continue soaking.
At the same time, he also began to seriously cultivate Text Magic.
A night passed, and the third day of the Holy Grail War ended, with four days remaining.
He woke up early in the morning, ran to the beach, then practiced horse stance, and meditated.
Finally, Luo Hao taught him weapon techniques.
Yesterday she taught sword and spear, today she taught saber and axe.
Today, instead of wooden sabers and axes, Lin Che used Demon Power to create real sabers and axes.
Seeing this, Luo Hao praised, "Your magic called ""Unlimited Blade Works"" is not bad. If you have the chance, you should learn Forging techniques."
Lin Che handed the saber and axe to Luo Hao and said, "Sister, don't worry. Hestia said that next time I go to her world, she'll introduce me to Hephaestus, the God of Forging, to learn."
"She's quite thoughtful," Luo Hao said, taking the saber and axe.
After spending this time together, Luo Hao also saw Hestia clearly; she was truly giving her all for her younger brother.
Hestia played a significant role in Lin Che's rapid growth.
The first thing taught today was saber techniques.
China has very strict classifications for weapon types, especially common weapons.
However, Sakura Country is different; they don't have a concept of saber techniques. Regardless of whether they use a saber or a sword, it's all collectively called sword techniques.
Luo Hao was quite disdainful of this. In her opinion, the difference between a saber and a sword is significant, and the difference between saber techniques and sword techniques is even greater.
So, before teaching Lin Che saber techniques, she carefully explained to him, emphasizing that he must not confuse sabers and swords.
After Lin Che nodded in assurance, she officially began teaching.
Luo Hao demonstrated it once, giving Lin Che a general idea.
During the second demonstration, she had Lin Che practice along with her.
She deliberately slowed down so Lin Che could see clearly.
After teaching it three times, she had Lin Che practice on his own.
She stood by and watched, pointing out and correcting any movements that weren't standard.
After practicing seven or eight times, Lin Che started to become proficient.
His speed increased, his movements became more standard, and he made almost no mistakes.
As noon approached, just as Lin Che was about to finish his training, two guests arrived at the beach.
The arrivals were Irisviel and Artoria.
"Miss Alice, and King of Knights, may I ask why you've come?" Lin Che stopped his training, covered in sweat, and asked the two beautiful young women.
No, Irisviel is a mother now, she's no longer a young woman.
It's just a pity he transmigrated too late; if it had been a few years earlier, the son-in-law of the Ainzbern Family should have been him.
"Did you know that Rider has also joined the alliance of Archer and Assassin!" Irisviel said with a serious expression.
"Really?" Lin Che was slightly taken aback, finding it hard to believe.
Rider's Master is Weber, how could he possibly join Yuan Ban Shi Chen and Kirei Kotomine's faction!
That doesn't seem right at all!
"That day, Kiritsugu had Artoria help you block Iskandar, and now everyone thinks we've allied. As for the Master named Weber, he's probably seeking revenge for his teacher," Irisviel said with a sigh.
"Damn, Kenneth treated him like that, and he still wants revenge for Kenneth?" Lin Che was somewhat impressed by Weber's magnanimity.
"I don't know either, it's all just speculation," Irisviel replied.
"You've come to find me, are you looking to ally with me?" Lin Che understood the purpose of their visit.
"That's right!" Irisviel nodded.
With Archer, Rider, and Assassin allied, she alone with Artoria wouldn't be able to stop them.
As for having Kiritsugu Emiya assassinate their Masters, that was clearly impossible.
Both Yuan Ban Shi Chen and Kirei Kotomine were experts.
Kiritsugu Emiya's "Origin Bullet" combined with his Time Alter was powerful, but it was already difficult to deal with Kirei Kotomine, who knew Baji Quan, let alone adding his teacher, Yuan Ban Shi Chen.
As for Weber, he was definitely being 'protected'.
Now, the only way was to ally with Lin Che. This way, the two sides would be balanced, each with three Masters and three Servants.
"Alright, then let's ally," Lin Che said indifferently.
In his opinion, even if the other side could gather six Servants, they wouldn't be enough to defeat Luo Hao and Hestia.
As for agreeing to Irisviel's request for an alliance, it was, of course, for Artoria.
After the Holy Grail War ends, he would get her Command Seals and have her stay.
"That's great!" Irisviel smiled.
She had been worried that Lin Che wouldn't agree, but she didn't expect him to agree so easily.
"Since we're allying, to prevent being targeted one by one, let's stay together," Lin Che suddenly suggested.
"Okay, our Einzbern Family has its own Castle in Fuyuki City, you can all move in!" Irisviel invited.
"Then we won't be polite!" Lin Che showed a satisfied smile.
He had long wanted to move out of the hotel; it was too inconvenient, requiring him to go out for training every day.
Now it was good, he could go live in the Einzbern Family's large Castle.
Returning to the hotel, Lin Che told the girls about the alliance.
The girls also wanted to move to the Castle to see it. They checked out of their rooms together, then took the special car sent by the Einzbern Family to the Castle.
The Castle was far from the bustling city, nestled among the mountains and forests, with no signs of human habitation around.
"This is truly a good place, I won't have to go to the beach every morning anymore," Lin Che said, looking at the scenery outside the car.
"The environment here is really good. After this Holy Grail War ends, I really want to live here forever with Illya and Kiritsugu," Irisviel also liked the scenery here very much.
Lin Che glanced at her, wondering if he should tell her about the xiao sheng bei (lesser grail).
No matter who won this Holy Grail War, Irisviel could not escape death because she was the vessel for the xiao sheng bei (lesser grail).
Even if she took out the xiao sheng bei (lesser grail) beforehand and miraculously survived, her lifespan wouldn't be long.
As a homunculus, her lifespan was very short, and she didn't have many years left to live.
Irisviel noticed Lin Che looking at her strangely and asked, puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"No, I just thought of some unpleasant things," Lin Che shook his head and still chose not to tell her.
