Postscript: After the Lostbelt was created, Lin Ye disappeared without a trace. Helpless, Cursed Arm became the temporary ruler of the Seljuk Dynasty. Later, he brought his childhood sweetheart to the capital Isfahan, married her, and lived a peaceful and happy life. It is said that he never wore the white bone mask again until his death.
Three times, people suggested that Cursed Arm should inherit the throne, but he refused each time, always believing that:
One day, their leader will surely return!
Before the Cursed Arm, the simulation had ended. He hadn't even recovered from the memories of the simulation when he saw a series of rewards laid out before him.
[Your simulation has ended, and your evaluation is A+. You can receive four of the following rewards as your bonus.]
Four rewards?
After his cursed wrist finally recovered, he finally came to his senses and looked at the reward in front of him.
[Option 1: Durability A, an attribute Lin Ye possesses, no explanation needed.]
"Attributes are a core strength, so we definitely need them."
The Cursed Wrist directly chose one.
[Option 2: Throwing a Dagger A: Throw a dagger named Dirk.]
An A-rank throwing dagger? Don't underestimate this skill. In the HF line, Cursed Arm was only B-rank and could already fight Cu Chulainn to a standstill. Now he's A-rank (573), and there's a chance he'll break through to A+ in the future. At that time, wouldn't his thrown daggers be able to exceed the speed of sound?!
"wanted!"
[Option 3: Self-Recovery (Mana) A: A skill possessed by Lin Ye, allowing her to automatically recover mana. At level A, she can recover 3.8% of her mana per minute.]
[Option 4: Hand of Satan Release Card: Because of Lin Ye's threat, Haiyi Tuo Nai chose to submit.]
Effect: After use, it allows the user to freely release the Sun-Drying Maiden; it will reseal after its magic power is depleted.
[Option 5: Aura Concealment A: A skill possessed by an unnamed old man, no explanation needed.]
[Bonus Reward: National Lostbelt Card (mentioned earlier, no further explanation needed.)]
Looking at the remaining rewards, Cursed Wrist made a decision without hesitation.
"I choose three and four! What's with the five? I can train myself to A+ level in concealing my breath, how come this old man is so bad?"
Cursed Wrist made his choice immediately, and then he felt a powerful force surge into his body—a force he had never experienced before!
Now that the simulation has completely ended, the previously frozen time and space has returned to normal.
Looking at the fierce-looking soldiers in front of him, Zhou Wan said nothing. He simply picked up a kitchen knife from the ground and walked towards them.
That night, rivers of blood flowed...
Chapter 344 Musashi and Kojiro
"The simulation is over, relax and be at ease."
Lin Ye looked at the simulation in front of him with satisfaction. This simulation was really easy; it must be the easiest simulation he had ever done.
This is the benefit of increased strength.
[Your simulation session has ended. You have earned a total of achievements.]
A dark and stormy night for murder: assassinations carried out in the dead of night.
Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?: Establishing a revolutionary army to overthrow the Seljuk dynasty.
Lostbelt Born: Because of your actions, a brand new Lostbelt has been born.
[Your mock exam rating is A++. You may choose five rewards from the following list.]
"Didn't it reach EX? Well, even such a simple simulation wouldn't reach EX."
Lin Ye still remembered the four conditions for completing the EX rating.
First: The target person's fate was completely changed.
Second: Both the host and the target must survive until the evaluation ends.
Third: The emergence of Lostbelts
Fourth: Achievements must be no less than five.
The Cursed Arm simulation did change my fate, but it was too short, so I didn't get many achievements.
You can't blame Lin Ye for this. The Seljuk Dynasty was only so big, and it was the end of the Age of Gods when mysteries were scarce. Achievements are related to events, so where would he find the time to farm achievements for such a small matter?
"Forget it, I'll try my best to get an EX version next time I have the chance to simulate King Hassan. For now, let's look at the rewards first."
Lin Ye looked at the reward in front of him.
[Option 1: Presence Concealment A+: This ability, possessed by Hassan of the Cursed Arm, can reach A++ after its master fuses with it.]
"Not bad, I'll take it."
Even among Assassins, few can match my A++ level of Aura Concealment. The next level up would be Hassan the Shadow Lantern.
The aura concealment is now EX.
That level of invisibility is enough to assimilate into the world itself; to put it another way, it's perfect invisibility. No, it should be more accurately described as nothingness. Without an EX-level magic eye, you can't even see the other person.
[Option 3: Agility A, an attribute possessed by the Cursed Arm, which can reach A+ after the master fuses with it]
"Agility, actually I need magic more, but the magic of the Cursed Arm... I'll pass on that."
[Option 3: Wind Protection A: Increases wind resistance; wind-attribute attacks below A level are ineffective.]
"This... isn't very useful. My defensive skills are sufficient." Lin Ye was speechless after looking at the first three. They were at least A++, so why couldn't they give some better items? These rewards were truly of little use.
Just then, Lin Ye saw the rewards below!
[Option 4: One Grand Spirit Origin (mentioned earlier, no further explanation needed.)]
"Grand Spirit Origin!"
brush!
Instantly, Lin Ye's eyes lit up.
Good heavens, finally something good has arrived! A Grand Spirit Origin!
Although Lin Ye already has one of these, who would complain about not having enough?
"Okay, okay, next one."
Lin Ye then looked at the next one.
[Option 5: Throw a short knife A (mentioned earlier, no further explanation needed.)]
"Not very useful."
Lin Ye expressed little interest. It seems this simulation is unavoidable, since the Cursed Arm doesn't possess anything particularly valuable.
[Option Six: Noble Phantasm: Angel of Death C]
"Look, the C-level rewards are out... Wait! Death Angel! Holy crap!"
Lin Ye quickly read on.
Angel of Death
Type: Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm
King Hassan's Noble Phantasm, because he spent his entire life walking in the Valley of the Dead, allows all his attacks to have an instant-kill effect, with the probability affected by luck.
Furthermore, because it has long seen through death, it has become one with death, thus increasing its resistance to death and its resistance to charm.
Lin Ye glanced at the Death Angel, then at the Grand Spirit Origin, then back at the Death Angel, then back at the Grand Spirit Origin.
"Can I... perhaps I can also unleash a Grand Rank sword strike!"
Back then, King Hassan's sword imbued Tiamat, who was originally invincible, with the concept of death, thus giving everyone the opportunity to defeat Tiamat.
As we all know, the Type-Moon universe is a world where the rules are paramount. If the opponent has no concept of death or is invincible, like Tiamat or Geitia, then no matter how strong your firepower is, you can't hurt them.
(P.S.: I have a question. Let's just talk about the lore. Goetia doesn't have divinity or possess divinely crafted weapons. So, if she attacks Achilles without hitting his heels, can she actually harm him? Anti-summoning should only be for defense, otherwise, according to the lore, Mash wouldn't be able to block Goetia's attacks either. Or perhaps Goetia's anti-summoning only targets Servants, and Mash, being a Demi-Servant, can't counter it.)
"I'll take this one too! As for the Wind Shelter buff and the Throwing Dagger... never mind, I'll just go with the Throwing Dagger. If the wind can hurt me, then A's Wind Shelter is useless."
brush!brush!
After Lin Ye finished choosing his reward, he immediately felt as if a new power had been added to his body.
However, this power is invisible and intangible, but Lin Ye can sense that it truly exists.
“Perfect.”
Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction, then activated his clairvoyance and looked into the distance.
"Alright, now let me see if my good apprentice will embarrass me."
The Matou family!
"Is this right here?"
Musashi finally arrived at the Matou family's gate.
She could sense the gloomy atmosphere here, but she didn't care. She just silently walked towards the door.
However, she had barely taken her first step when a figure blocked her way.
