Lin Che meditated until about eight o'clock before stopping his cultivation.
He came down from the Castle and went to the living room.
At this time, the girls were also awake and having breakfast.
Luo Hao was very satisfied with Lin Che's performance today; practicing martial arts should be like this.
Everyone gathered around to eat breakfast. Irisviel glanced at the two maids standing behind her and mustered the courage to say to Hestia, "Upper God, can Sera and Lisellote join your Familia?"
Upon hearing her words, everyone's eyes turned to the two maids standing behind her.
Sera and Lisellote also showed surprised expressions, somewhat disbelieving.
As Irisviel's confidantes, they also knew some of Lin Che and the others' secrets.
They didn't expect Miss Irisviel to want them to join a God's Familia as well.
This immense fortune struck the two girls, leaving them a little overwhelmed.
As homunculi given personalities, they, like humans, had souls and their own thoughts.
They could distinguish between good and bad and knew how to be grateful.
At this moment, Irisviel clearly wanted to help them out.
Hestia examined Sera and Lisellote for a while and then said, "Their aptitude is not bad, but their physical functions have some issues. The aging speed is much faster than that of normal people."
Upon hearing this, Irisviel's heart was in her throat.
"Then... they..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Hestia said, "Yes, as long as they receive a Blessing and improve themselves through the Blessing, they can overcome the homunculus defect."
"That's great!" Irisviel cheered.
Sera and Lisellote behind her also immediately bowed to Hestia and said, "Greetings, Upper God!"
"Very good. You don't need to bow every time from now on. Keep the respect in your heart. A Familia is a big family; everyone should help each other, benefit each other, and live in harmony!" Hestia waved her hand, telling them to get up.
"That's great, our Familia is getting stronger and stronger!" Roxy also said happily.
Lin Che asked curiously, "How many people are in the Familia now?"
He hadn't counted how many people Hestia had taken in.
Hestia replied, "There are a total of 11 people now. Besides you, there are five group members: Saeko Busujima, Yotsuya Miko, Tokisaki Kurumi, Roxy, and Shinobu Kocho, plus Irisviel, Sakura, Illya, Sera, and Lisellote from the Type-Moon World!"
"11 people so quickly?" Lin Che was a little surprised.
He remembered that in The Dungeon World anime, even up to the fourth season, Hestia had only taken in five Familia members.
It was said that in the latest novel, Volume 19, Ryu Lion also joined the Familia.
Counting that way, there were only 6 Familia members in total.
But now that Hestia had the Chat Group, and the plot in The Dungeon World hadn't even started yet, she had already taken in 11 Familia members.
He wondered if the male protagonist, Bell, would have a chance to join the Hestia Familia.
"It's only a mere 11 Familia members, that's far from enough! The Loki Familia has over a hundred Familia members!" Hestia said with a look of dissatisfaction.
"Uh..."
Lin Che was speechless. Why compare with the Loki Familia of all people?
Surpassing the Loki Familia wouldn't be easy. Even with the Chat Group, Hestia would need a long time.
Unless the strong members in the group were willing to join her Familia, such as Erza, Tsunade, Esdeath, and others.
...
After breakfast, Hestia began to bestow Blessings upon Irisviel, Sakura, Illya, Sera, and Lisellote one by one.
The initial stats of the five girls were all the same, with ability values starting from zero, and no magic or skills.
Clearly, The Dungeon World's Blessing did not record the magic from the Type-Moon World.
Magic and skills in The Dungeon World were awakened innately.
Things learned later were not recorded at all.
Just like martial arts, adventurers in The Dungeon World all knew martial arts; some knew swordsmanship, others knew spearmanship.
But these martial arts skills learned later would not appear on the Blessing.
Fortunately, the five girls all had good magic talent, each with three magic slots.
This means they can awaken three innate magic spells in the future.
Having bestowed the Blessings, it was time to end this Holy Grail War.
Sakura and Illya were entrusted to Sera and Lisellote for protection, along with the recently recovered Jiu Yu Wu Mi. The five girls remained at the Castle.
Hestia even set up a barrier around the Castle, preventing outsiders from entering.
Then, Lin Che and the girls, guided by Hestia's perception, found Weber and Rider!
At this moment, Iskandar was looking at a world map, his face filled with unwillingness.
He strongly desired a body to remain in the modern era and continue his conquests.
But modern society had been peaceful for a long time and no longer needed war.
If his wish were granted and he returned to Europe to continue his conquests, it was highly likely to start a third world war.
Such a wish was simply a provocation to human order!
Seeing Lin Che and the others, Iskandar sighed and said, 'I will fight you, but regardless of the outcome, please spare my Master!'
'Rider!' Weber exclaimed in surprise.
Through their time together over the past few days, he had learned many things from Iskandar.
He didn't want to abandon the other party, didn't want to live alone.
Lin Che nodded: 'Alright!'
Immediately, he asked Artoria, 'A fair fight, can you handle the opponent alone?'
'No problem, leave it to me, I will bring victory to my Master!' Artoria said, her Demon Power surging as her black suit changed into battle skirt armor.
Iskandar was the same, his Demon Power erupting as his modern attire transformed into ancient Roman-style clothing and a large crimson cloak.
The battle of Kings had begun!
Lin Che watched the two, thinking that in the original work, the final battle was between Gilgamesh and Iskandar.
Because of Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm counter, coupled with the fact that Iskandar's Noble Phantasms, the 'Flying Hooves Thundering Bulls' and the 'Wheels of Heaven Authority', were destroyed by Artoria's 'Sword of Promised Victory', he lost miserably!
Rider is a cavalryman; with his riding Noble Phantasm destroyed, his strength naturally declined.
Although Gilgamesh used 'Ea' to destroy the 'King's Army', due to Demon Power constraints, he definitely couldn't unleash a second shot in a short time.
If Iskandar had the 'Flying Hooves Thundering Bulls' and the 'Wheels of Heaven Authority' at that time, Gilgamesh's Chains of Heaven might not have been able to restrain him.
The final result would definitely still be Gilgamesh winning, after all, his 'Gate of Babylon' was too strong, with too many Noble Phantasms.
But Iskandar wouldn't have lost so quickly or so miserably!
Now that Gilgamesh was replaced by Artoria, could Iskandar win?
Lin Che was filled with anticipation!
Regardless of whether Artoria won or lost, Iskandar was definitely going to die anyway.
It would be best if Artoria won and personally dealt with Iskandar.
If she lost, then Morgan and Merlin would also join in, using a righteous group beatdown to deal with Iskandar.
