"Wait a moment."
Snow Empress spoke, "Please examine her. I think she might have some problems."
"Hmm?"
Prompted by Snow Empress, Bai Luo immediately noticed Irisviel's uniqueness.
From her body, Bai Luo detected a strange magical energy fluctuation.
"This is?"
"What is it?"
Snow Empress was very curious, wanting to know what Bai Luo had discovered.
"Wait a moment."
Bai Luo focused his attention on Irisviel, who was lying flat on the ground. He squatted down and carefully examined her magic circuits.
"Violet, help me analyze her magic circuits."
Bai Luo suddenly thought of something: Irisviel seemed to be the Lesser Holy Grail of the Fourth Holy Grail War.
Bai Luo didn't know much about the concept of the Lesser Holy Grail.
Anyway, it was a part of summoning the Holy Grail.
Once the war was almost over, Irisviel would die, and then the Holy Grail would appear.
Bai Luo wasn't clear on the specifics.
However, now, Bai Luo had discovered something interesting.
That was, the huge ley line located beneath Mount Enzou subtly formed an extremely profound resonance with Irisviel's magic circuits.
How to put it?
Simply put, the magic circuits within Irisviel's body were almost identical to the magic circuits in the ley line.
The only difference between the two was that the ley line circuits were a scaled-up version of Irisviel's magic circuits.
"Winter Saint..."
Bai Luo thought of a person, namely Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern, one of the Three Founding Families who created the Holy Grail.
[Preliminary analysis complete]
"Hmm."
Bai Luo: "Speak, what's the situation?"
[According to analysis, obtained the human microcosm that constitutes the Greater Holy Grail]
"Human microcosm?"
Bai Luo: "What does that mean?"
"The Winter Saint's soul is still alive."
Violet provided a path Bai Luo had never imagined: "If it can be completely analyzed, the Third Magic, Soul Materialization, can be obtained."
"The Third Magic, I know about that."
"And then?"
"What's the use of this thing?"
Bai Luo's main purpose in coming to the Type-Moon World, which was the Inherent Barrier that could transport people, was already obtained.
So anything obtained afterward was a pleasant surprise.
"This is a good thing."
Violet, uncharacteristically, had a hint of excitement in her tone: "It can solve your problem of insufficient soul endurance."
"Really?!"
Bai Luo's eyes widened; he hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise to come so suddenly: "You mean, this Third Magic can help me remove the impurities from my soul and allow me to complete the True Demon Lord awakening ritual?"
"Strictly speaking, the Third Magic alone cannot."
"But with my power, and the power of the world's voice, it can be evolved."
"The evolved Unique Skill, according to my calculations, has a 99% probability of gaining the effect of soul purification."
This wasn't Violet looking down on the Third Magic.
The so-called Third Magic, to put it simply, was the transformation of spiritual bodies and material bodies in the Cardinal World.
Its effects included immortality, extracting magical energy from the void, and so on.
To put it bluntly.
Bai Luo, having become a Demon Lord Seed, no longer had a lifespan limit.
His soul was immortal, thus he could live forever.
However, Type-Moon's Third Magic was just a framework; Violet was confident she could complete it.
"How to do it?"
Bai Luo was tempted; he hadn't expected Snow Empress's casual action to bring him such a huge surprise.
Once the problem of soul pollution was solved.
Then the only thing preventing Bai Luo from breaking through to True Demon Lord was collecting enough souls.
As for how to obtain souls...
This was very simple.
As long as he found a few more worlds, Bai Luo could easily gather countless souls.
Failing that, he could also emulate Rimuru, enticing human nations to send troops.
Then kill their elite soldiers and plunder their soul energy.
"Further research is needed."
Violet's analysis required time; she had to figure out the connection between Irisviel and the Winter Saint.
Then, Violet would perform a reverse deduction, obtaining the power of rules related to the Third Magic from the Root of the Type-Moon World.
"How long will it take?"
"At most one day."
Violet was going to take something from the Type-Moon Root without letting the Root discover it.
Therefore, she needed to spend a little effort.
"My Lord."
Zhu Cai hurried over: "Saber has arrived."
"So fast? Didn't Kiritsugu stop her?"
Bai Luo was not surprised by Saber's arrival.
Thinking back to the original plot, Irisviel was also captured once.
Saber, to save her, directly fought against Conqueror.
However, the fact that Wei Gong Qie Si couldn't stop Artoria was somewhat beyond Bai Luo's expectation.
"Did they fight?"
"~No."
Zhu Cai: "Like Conqueror, she's just outside the mountain gate, simply asking to visit you."
"Only her?"
"Yes."
"Alright then, bring her in."
Bai Luo had pretty much figured out the situation, and he realized this seemed like a good opportunity.
Bai Luo still had some thoughts regarding Daimao Wang.
Given her aptitude and her status within the Type-Moon Worldview,
if she could gain the favor of the world's voice, her future achievements would certainly not be inferior to the Snow Empress's.
For such a top-tier combatant, Bai Luo naturally felt the more, the merrier.
Soon, led by Zhu Cai and several Ogres, Artoria walked into the main hall.
"Forgive my unannounced visit."
As soon as Artoria saw Bai Luo, she directly stated her purpose: "May I ask you to return Irisviel to me? As compensation, I am willing to do anything!"
"Anything?"
Bai Luo hadn't expected Artoria to value Irisviel so highly: "Then, what if I ask you to give up the Holy Grail?"
"..."
Artoria was silent for a moment, then said: "If that is the condition for returning Irisviel, I am willing to accept!"
With that, Artoria summoned her scabbard from within her body and simply tossed it aside.
This scene truly shocked Bai Luo.
It was important to know that avalon was Artoria's strongest Treasure.
Without the scabbard, it would be incredibly easy for Bai Luo to kill Artoria.
"Do you trust me that much?"
"Yes."
Artoria: "That night, I already witnessed your magnanimity."
It seemed that the impression Bai Luo left on Artoria that night was a bit too profound.
This made the maiden believe that even if she discarded her scabbard, Bai Luo would not go back on his word.
If Bai Luo were to obtain the scabbard, kill her, and still not let Irisviel go, then she could only say that she was blind and had misjudged Bai Luo.
