Lance scratched his hair with an expression half confused and half amused.
"It's Emiya's magic again... but really, it's fine if it can enhance the sharpness of a sword or the nutritional value of food. But what is this magic that enhances the cuteness of a Servant?!" Lance muttered in a low voice mixed with disbelief.
Lance's face broke into a mischievous grin.
He had imagined the fierce Maxie or the calm Vivi suddenly transforming into chibi versions of themselves. "I should try this on Maxie or Vivi… who knows, I might be able to turn a grown woman into a loli."
With a swift movement, Lance imprinted a Magic Seal Card on himself, staring at it for a moment before nodding in satisfaction.
The so-called "enhanced magic" immediately flashed through Lance's mind. Fragments of Emiya Shirou's memories flashed—about how Emiya reinforced newspaper into iron plates, and how Emiya had never been able to conjure ordinary weapons into Noble Phantasms.
To be honest, this magic was quite common. Practical, but not spectacular. For Lance, who possessed systems and technology, this kind of power felt… a bit lacking.
"A spell like this, one that reads an object's structure and then reinforces it… would be more suited to Tony Stark, not me," Lance muttered with a sigh, then immediately proceeded to the second draw.
[Name: Ma Siu-ling's Lucky Star
Origin: My Date with a Vampire
Introduction: Ma Siu-ling's lucky star symbolizes the highest spiritual power in the Ma family lineage, legendary Taoists known for their slaying of demons and vampires. By activating this star, Ma Siu-ling can summon the Exorcising Dragon, a celestial spirit that rages in holy light to burn away evil energy, exorcise evil spirits, and subdue dark creatures.
This power not only reflects the purity of her heart and the depth of her Taoist knowledge, but is also closely connected to the spiritual lineage of the Ma ancestors who have fought against demons for centuries. This star appears as a glowing symbol in the sky and can only be summoned when the user's spiritual power reaches absolute balance between body, spirit, and intent.]
A full bottle of Lucky Stars, in various colors, contains about twenty sparkling like tiny gems reflecting the morning light.
In other words, this Lucky Star can summon the Ma Family's Exorcising Dragon more than twenty times—though each appearance lasts only a moment and its power is limited.
Unfortunately, the Exorcist Dragon's powers were mediocre, more like a fireworks display than a real threat. They wouldn't be able to intimidate a high-level character, let alone touch him.
Third draw.
[Name: Eye of Aurora
Origin: Jackie Chan Adventures
Introduction: A traditional ancient Egyptian necklace made of pure gold and adorned with 120 sparkling diamonds, each engraved with tiny hieroglyphs. This artifact wasn't just jewelry, but a mystical object that allowed for a telepathic connection between the necklace and its owner. Through this bond, the owner could open a rift in space around them and instantly transport themselves to any location on Earth—lightning-fast and silently.]
"Teleportation necklace..." Lance clucked his tongue, seemingly uninterested. Where Lance could open a portal himself and go wherever he wanted. This necklace simply simplified a process he had already mastered—like offering a bicycle to the owner of a private jet.
Three seemingly valuable, yet also utterly useless, prizes.
Looks like luck isn't on his side today. Lance will play again later... if he's in a good mood!
Lance raised his hand and waved his wand toward the bed. He used a repair spell—"Reparatio!"—to repair the half-broken bed, the wooden parts fitting back together and the fabric straightening itself as if freshly ironed.
Then Lance cast an activation spell, and suddenly several kitchen appliances began to move on their own: knives rose, water boiled, and a frying pan emitted a delicious aroma.
These ordinary kitchen appliances had all been enchanted by Lance before, and while they looked like ordinary household items, the resulting dishes were quite good—not as exquisite as those from a five-star restaurant, but enough to satisfy an adventurous stomach.
"Okay... I should find time to buy some chef's kitchen utensils." Lance leaned back, listening to the melodious sounds of hand-cutting vegetables, the boiling of tea water, and the aroma of toast wafting through the room. He slowly brewed his tea, sat down on the plush sofa, and prepared for a hard workout after breakfast.
At that moment, Lance's cell phone rang—the ringtone was the sound of a clockwork machine.
Lance grabbed it from the table, and the screen lit up. It was an unknown number.
Lance casually answered, without shifting his posture: "Who are you looking for?"
"Mr. White, this is John Smith." The voice on the other end startled Lance. His eyebrows raised slightly.
Lance turned to the window—he saw no reflection of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in his vision, only a villa in the distance that looked like it had just experienced a world war: holes in the roof, smoke billowing, and a partially burned fence.
Oh, it looks like Mr. and Mrs. Smith's world war plans have begun!
Lance said lightly, almost jokingly, "Mr. Smith, it looks like your situation isn't good right now. Do you believe my prediction now?"
John choked on the other end, his voice weak but insistent: "Mr. White, we need your help now."
"Don't worry, I keep my promise." Lance took a sip of his tea, a thin steam rising from the white ceramic cup in his hand, and replied calmly, "Okay, tell me where you are, and I'll send someone to rescue you."
"We're in the suburbs of Los Angeles..." John quickly reported his address, rushing, as if his life depended on it.
"Okay, hold on." Lance hung up and immediately dialed another number—a private contact marked with only two letters:
Mr. X.
It's just a group of ordinary assassins. A small incident, not worth Lance's personal action. Mr. X can handle it himself.
Oh, for safety reasons, let Kagenobu Yoshioka go with Mr. X.
Two envoys: a Light Lantern Envoy and a Black Lantern Envoy, although only Street-Level to Superhuman-Level, were enough to deal with a group of ordinary assassins. Speed and efficiency were their specialty.
