Chapter 37: Contract

It can be seen from the old priest's attitude that it is difficult to get cheaper.

Su Xiao didn't know if there would be a chance to come here again. Even if there was a chance, the merits of the Holy Church would not be easy to obtain.

"Father, do you want to get the Holy Grail?"

"Holy Grail?!"

The smile on the old priest's face gradually faded, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the back of Su Xiao's hand.

"Sure enough, you are related to the Holy Grail War. I didn't find the command spell when I first met you. Could it be that you are..."

Thinking of some possibility, the old priest was a little frightened.

"You don't think I'm a heroic spirit, do you?"

Su Xiao leaned on the seat, crossed her legs, and looked relaxed.

"Oh."

The old priest laughed dumbly. He had seen many heroic spirits. The speech and behavior of those heroic spirits were obviously different from those of modern people. Moreover, the bodies of heroic spirits were made of energy. The old priest had a way to identify them.

"You are not a Master, nor a Heroic Spirit. Are you planning to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

The old priest's eyes were a little fiery. Su Xiao's ability to destroy Liudong Temple showed that he was extraordinary. If he joined the old priest's camp, it would definitely be a strong help.

"Who knows, but you may need my help in the future."

Su Xiao looked at the old priest with a smile. He usually smiled when communicating with non-hostile plot characters, which could hide other emotions.

"I'll think about it..."

The old priest was entangled in his heart. After a long time, he nodded.

"Just think of it as giving you a 50% discount and wait for me for a while."

The old priest left the church and probably went to the secret room under the church. After a while, the old priest returned with three items in his hand.

"This is the soul condensed ore, holy water, and finally the ghost hunter."

Three items were placed in front of Su Xiao. He put away the soul crystal (large) and the holy water directly. As for the ghost hunter, it was a precise crossbow. It was made of metal, all black, and looked a bit retro.

Just as Su Xiao was about to pull the crossbow string, the old priest handed over a small winch.

"With this thing, it's impossible to pull it with human power... What a joke!"

The old priest's eyes widened.

Crunch~

Su Xiao pulled the crossbow string. The attack power of this crossbow was similar to that of the Spider Queen. You can imagine how heavy it was.

After stringing the ghost hunter's hand with his bare hands, Su Xiao's mana was slowly consumed, and an energy crossbow arrow was gradually generated on the ghost hunter's hand.

"What did you just say?"

Su Xiao was focused on studying the ghost hunter just now and didn't hear the old priest's words clearly.

The old priest looked at the small winch in his hand and shook his head.

"It's okay, what we talked about before."

"Holy Grail."

Su Xiaoduanping Ghost Hunter, the accurate range of this thing is within 150 meters. If it is further away, it will not be able to hit the target. Don't underestimate this 150 meters. For a weapon like a crossbow, 150 meters is already supernatural.

"Yes, Holy Grail, are you interested in helping me win the Holy Grail? I can give it to you..."

The old priest had some expectations.

"No."

Su Xiao put away the ghost hunter. This thing is good, powerful, silent, and suitable for mid-range assassinations.

"Have you considered the mood of this old guy like me when you refuse so flatly? I just gave you a 95% discount."

The old priest was a little unhappy.

"It was only out of consideration for your mood that I refused."

Su Xiao's words obviously choked the old priest, and the old priest's face began to look ugly.

"Father, with your physical condition, you can live to be 80 or 90 years old. Why bother to die in such a hurry?"

"What's the meaning."

"It means... whoever takes the Holy Grail will die!"

"you……"

The old priest's anger surged, and after looking at Su Xiao, he turned his head.

"Father, don't get me wrong. You helped me once before. I couldn't get out of Liudong Temple without that gun."

Su Xiao took out an apple and took a big bite, and the full juice flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"Then why don't you help me?"

The old priest's anger subsided a little, and he heard that there was something in Su Xiao's words.

"Some words cannot be clarified. As far as I know, Father, have you participated in a Holy Grail War?"

"Yes, I supervised the Third Holy Grail War."

"See the Holy Grail?"

"I saw it."

The old priest rubbed his hands on his trousers, his eyes a little dull.

"Since you have seen it, you still pursue that thing. You should know the principle of that thing. The first two Great Holy Grails are indeed priceless treasures. As for the third one, you can guess it without telling me. It is already the fourth one.

Great Holy Grail, how many evil thoughts do you think are gathered in that thing, and you just...want to die so much?"

Su Xiao stared at the old priest. There was only one core left in the apple in his hand.

"No one will be willing to pursue it. Not only do I know it, but the Matou family, the Tohsaka family, and the Einzbern family all know that it is a universal wishing machine. So what if it is contaminated? Just give it up like this?"

The old priest breathed out and stretched out his hand to Su Xiao.

"Give me a cigarette."

Su Xiao handed over a cigarette.

"Although I still don't know your name, I trust you more than some of my collaborators. At least you are not hostile to me."

The old priest blew out a puff of green smoke. Under Su Xiao's guidance, the old priest's addiction to smoking relapsed. Maybe it was because he had had too many bad things recently.

With the intervention of Samsara Paradise, the relationship between Su Xiao and the old priest was no longer hostile, so the old priest trusted Su Xiao. After Su Xiao successfully bombed the Liudong Temple, this trust was significantly improved.

"Wouldn't you rather not see it with your own eyes? That's right. The temptation of the Great Holy Grail is indeed irresistible."

Su Xiao stopped talking. The reason why he still stayed in the church was because he had other purposes.

"It sounds like you're not interested in the Holy Grail at all?"

"No, I'm interested. I'm curious about the texture of that thing."

"Cough cough cough..."

The old priest had a dry cough, and with the dry cough, green smoke spurted out from his mouth.

"Curious about texture? What a strange idea you have..."

The old priest was a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, Su Xiao was not completely uninterested in the Holy Grail.

"That's right, Father."

"how."

After chatting for a while, it became clear that the two of them were very familiar with each other.

"Can you contact the Einzberns?"

"This... secret."

The old priest took it a step further and felt vaguely that something was wrong.

"If we can contact you, I'm going to contact the Einzbern family. Don't worry, I won't join forces with them to deal with you. If we successfully establish a line, I will stop them from causing trouble for you."

"I'm considering..."

"I don't have time to think about this matter. I'm in a hurry soon."

If Su Xiao wants to move faster, Brother Wu Umbrella may get confused at any time.

"I can understand that you can help me contain the Einzberns?"

"Yes, but there are some things that need to be used as bargaining chips in negotiations with them."

The old priest began to struggle. His ideal result was that Su Xiao would join his camp and help him grab the Great Holy Grail.

"Yes, but there is a condition first. You cannot unite with them to deal with my camp. Although I don't know how you know about my situation, my plan to seize the Holy Grail cannot be spread."

The old priest took out a piece of white parchment, wrote something on it, and handed the parchment to Su Xiao. This was a 'self-enforced certificate', something similar to an oath.

The old priest is very cunning and has prepared this thing before.

After glancing at the contents of the 'self-enforcement certificate', Su Xiao signed the contract. One thing the old priest didn't know was that this 'self-enforcement certificate' had limitations. It only targeted creatures with magical powers in their bodies, or that

It is only valid for the indigenous inhabitants of the Holy Grail World.

Su Xiao is not an indigenous resident of the Holy Grail World, and there is no magic power in his body. There is no essential difference between signing this thing and signing on toilet paper.
