Letitia stood to the side, her gaze fixed on the Jewel Mage with a wary expression, prepared for a potential surprise attack, while listening to the conversation between the two.
The words, at first glance, seemed like meaningless chatter, but careful analysis still yielded some information.
For example, the Jewel Mage didn't want to fight, and the Jewel Mage wanted to join the team…
However, these conclusions were Letitia's guesses based on the current situation, and weren't necessarily accurate.
The Jewel Mage's subsequent words also proved that Letitia's guesses were correct.
The Jewel Mage did express a desire to act together in the conversation, the reason being… no reason.
Before the Jewel Mage could even make up an excuse, Mu Yang agreed to the Jewel Mage's request.
After the Jewel Mage joined, Mu Yang asked, "As a Slacker who wanders around in various parallel worlds, you should be very familiar with the situations in each parallel world. Are there any interesting worlds you can recommend?"
"…Slacker…" Hearing this, the Jewel Mage's old face immediately crumpled, his skin twitching.
To be frank, as one of only five magi in the world, and also one of the Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, the Jewel Mage could be said to be one of the top-tier powerhouses in the Moon World.
Those who dared to speak to him in such a manner were all strong individuals at the world's peak. Rather than wasting their breath on meaningless words, they preferred to take action directly.
Those with weaker abilities than him, on the other hand, were filled with emotions like fear and respect, and no one dared to speak disrespectfully to him, at least on the surface.
As for what they thought in their hearts, the Jewel Mage said he didn't care.
In addition, there were some criminals he had pursued who cursed him on their deathbeds, all with foul and vulgar language.
But even those people didn't call him a Slacker.
His expression went through a series of changes, and the Jewel Mage curiously asked, "Why do you call me a Slacker?"
Slacker refers to someone who idles away their time all day, not doing their job properly.
As a traveler who often wanders around various parallel worlds and different parts of the world, the Jewel Mage has mastered many languages, even some dialects.
Therefore, he can understand what Slacker means.
"Think carefully about what you've done before, and see if it fits the meaning of Slacker?" Mu Yang didn't explain directly, but instead let the Jewel Mage think and understand for himself.
After a while, the Jewel Mage nodded with a serious expression and said, "I thought about it carefully, and I can be 100% sure that what I did before doesn't fully fit the meaning of Slacker, so... I shouldn't be a Slacker."
"Mhm."
Mu Yang nodded slightly, and didn't doubt the truthfulness of the Jewel Mage's words, although the Jewel Mage was a complex character who often ran around, frequently involved himself in worldly affairs and caused disputes, creating a lot of trouble, but he really...
Wait, connecting the context, why do I feel more and more that the Jewel Mage is a Slacker?
Mu Yang's expression became a little strange.
Letitia, however, didn't pay attention to that, and reminded him with a blank expression, "The important matters."
"Important matters?" Mu Yang tilted his head, his face full of confusion. What were the important matters?
The Jewel Mage immediately understood and said with a sudden realization, "Oh, oh~ what an interesting world! Let me think..."
The Jewel Mage turned his still un-rusted brain, recalling the worlds he had once visited.
After thinking for a while, the Jewel Mage said, "I recall two worlds. Whether they are fun or not is hard to say, but they are quite interesting. Do you want to take a look?"
After saying that, the Jewel Mage looked at Mu Yang, asking for his opinion.
"Is there All the World's Evils?" Mu Yang asked.
Jewel Mage shook his head, "No."
"Is there a Holy Grail?" Mu Yang asked again.
Jewel Mage nodded, "Yes."
"Then let's go take a look," Mu Yang said casually. Since there was a Holy Grail, he couldn't have come all this way for nothing. Even if there wasn't a shred of fun in that world, he could still snag a Holy Grail.
Come to think of it, in a world with a Counter Force, I barged in without a word, took All the World's Evils, and sealed the Holy Grail... I'm frolicking around so happily, why hasn't the Counter Force sent a Heroic Spirit to stop me?
What could be the reason?
Mu Yang glanced at the cave's rocky ceiling, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Let's stir up some trouble and test things out, and find some fun along the way.
......
Moon World, a certain parallel world.
In a deserted wilderness in Romania, beside a highway.
Looking at the desolate scene in the distance, a trace of memory flashed in the Jewel Mage's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "I can't even remember how many years ago I came to this world, perhaps I didn't even bother to remember… I can remember this world entirely because what I saw and heard back then left a deep impression on me."
Mu Yang's mouth twitched, interrupting the Jewel Mage's reminiscence, "Don't say so much nonsense, just tell us what you saw back then."
"Alright." Jewel Mage shrugged, speaking concisely and casually, "I passed by this place back then, and it just so happened that the Three Founding Families were holding a Holy Grail War, and I was very bored at the time…"
Jewel Mage didn't say the rest, but Mu Yang and Letitia both understood what he meant.
As an audience member, he watched the Holy Grail War from beginning to end.
"You didn't get involved?" Mu Yang raised an eyebrow.
The Jewel Mage looked puzzled, "Why would I get involved?"
"That's good," Mu Yang nodded slightly, changing the subject, "What happened afterwards?"
Hearing this, the Jewel Mage's expression immediately became strange, "That was quite interesting. The Einzbern Family summoned a Heroic Spirit with the Ruler Class through cheating, seemingly wanting to turn the tables..."
After a pause, the Jewel Mage continued, "But even with the cheating, the Einzbern ultimately couldn't win. The Holy Grail was stolen by a third party."
"The plot seems somewhat familiar..." Mu Yang rubbed his cheek, deep in thought.
He seemed to have seen a similar plot somewhere, but he couldn't remember exactly where.
After all, the Jewel Mage hadn't given him enough information, lacking a key piece to unlock the door to his memories.
"What about the rest of the story?"
"The subsequent plot is that the Ruler uses the Holy Grail to achieve physical manifestation before the Holy Grail is stolen, successfully remaining in the present world."
The Jewel Mage clicked his tongue twice. "That Ruler, I could tell from the moment he descended that he had a clear purpose. A big part of the reason his Master was killed was because of him."
"Is that it?" Mu Yang said speechlessly. "You've been talking for ages and haven't said anything. It's all just fluff. Please, could you be more specific!"
"Alright." The Jewel Mage nodded. "I'll go into detail about the story of Shirou Amakusa."
"Damn it!" Mu Yang cursed.
