Lin Che seemed to see through her thoughts and, without waiting for her to speak, continued, "The origin of the Huns was the nomadic tribes in northern China. The reason they went to Europe to establish a country was because they were driven there by China. Britain couldn't even defeat Rome, so how could it conquer the East and defeat China, which defeated the Huns?"
Luo Hao's mouth curved upwards after hearing Lin Che's words.
This was the pride of being Chinese!
Artoria, on the other hand, sat down, her face full of helplessness!
At this moment, she realized how weak her Britain was.
Not only Artoria, but Morgan and Merlin also sighed, appearing powerless.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Irisviel quickly tried to smooth things over, "All that is in the past and has become history. Let's eat and not talk about those things."
Seeing Artoria's appearance, Lin Che knew he had said too much, so he added, "You don't need to be discouraged. Your descendants are quite amazing. They were the first country to have an industrial revolution and also established the largest empire where the sun never sets."
"Really?" Artoria was a little surprised.
"Of course. And present-day Great Britain is also one of the most powerful countries in this world. It and four other powerful countries are collectively called the Permanent Five!" Lin Che nodded.
Actually, to be precise, modern Britain is already different from the Britain of Arthur's era.
Arthur was Welsh, and the Britain he established was also a Welsh nation!
But the current Britain is a country primarily composed of Anglo-Saxons, along with Iberians, Celts, Roman Latins, and others.
This is similar to the Qing Dynasty period in China, where the Han people were no longer the majority, but the Manchu people were.
However, he was comforting them, so there was no need to dwell on those details.
As expected, after hearing Lin Che's words, Artoria, Morgan, and Merlin's expressions improved significantly.
Next, everyone happily ate and drank together again.
...
After dinner, Lin Che rested for a while, then pulled Roxy aside to start learning magic.
Now that Roxy had broken through to the King rank and his own Demon Power had increased so much, he could try learning Saint-rank magic.
In the training ground within the Castle courtyard, Roxy showed a surprised expression upon hearing Lin Che's request and said, "You want to learn Saint-rank magic?"
"That's right, my Demon Power is very sufficient now, I want to give it a try!" Lin Che said with a look of anticipation.
He had been coveting Roxy's "Howling Thunder Rain Clouds" for a long time.
"Then give it a try," Roxy nodded in agreement.
Immediately, she began teaching Lin Che the incantation and the method of controlling Demon Power.
Lin Che practiced a few times and quickly got the hang of it.
He borrowed Roxy's staff and began to chant.
"Great Spirit of Water, Prince of the Thunder Emperor who steps upon the firmament, grant my prayer, bring forth your violent Blessing, and let the insignificant beings witness your might!"
As Lin Che chanted, the surrounding Demon Power began to surge.
He waved the staff in his hand, and suddenly, a fierce wind arose. The originally clear night sky turned gloomy, instantly becoming covered in dark clouds with lightning flashing.
However, this was not the end; Lin Che's chanting continued.
"Strike the anvil with the hammer of the gods, display your brilliance, and let the earth be submerged by floods!"
The magic stone on the staff burst with light, amplifying and strengthening Lin Che's Demon Power.
Lin Che raised the staff high and stirred the dark clouds in the sky.
Streaks of lightning tore through the sky, and under the staff's control, it was as if Raiden Shogun had descended, about to destroy the world.
This scene also startled everyone, and they all ran out of the Castle.
"This is 'Howling Thunder Rain Clouds'!" Morgan recognized it at a glance.
She had been hit by Roxy using this move before.
"Master's talent is becoming more and more terrifying!" Merlin said, looking at Lin Che wielding the staff.
From finishing dinner until now, only a little over an hour had passed, and he had already learned Saint-rank magic.
"Another magic I've never seen before, and it can even control the weather?" Irisviel was full of shock, as the magic (Demon Power) Lin Che was performing had exceeded her understanding.
While everyone was watching the spectacle, Lin Che's chanting didn't stop.
"Ah, rain!"
"Wash away everything, expel all things in the world!"
In an instant, a torrential downpour fell within a hundred-meter radius centered around the Castle.
Compared to Roxy's range, it was ten times smaller.
When Roxy used "Howling Thunder Rain Clouds," the range was a thousand meters!
Lin Che finished the last line of the incantation and pointed the staff at a towering ancient tree outside the Castle, saying, "Howling Thunder Rain Clouds!"
As the name of the magic was called out, a thick blue lightning bolt, as wide as a bucket, suddenly descended from the sky and struck the large tree fiercely.
Instantly, the large tree turned into dust!
"This power is probably comparable to some C+ rank and B rank Noble Phantasms!" Irisviel exclaimed.
With the magic dispelled, the rain stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed.
The moonlight reappeared, illuminating the entire courtyard brightly.
Roxy smiled and congratulated Lin Che, saying, "Congratulations, you've graduated."
"Is that so? It seems only martial arts are left!" Lin Che also smiled.
He had graduated from the magic taught by Hestia first, and now he had also graduated from the magic taught by Roxy.
Only the martial arts taught by Luo Hao had not yet been mastered.
However, this was unavoidable. For magic and Demon Power, you just needed to know the principles, learn the incantation, and practice a few times to grasp them.
But martial arts were different; they were a true uphill battle, where not advancing meant falling behind.
Martial arts required time to hone; there were no shortcuts.
If only he had something like "Great Sage" like Rimuru Tempest, he could learn any skill, magic, or martial art just by seeing it once.
He hoped someone from the world of Slime would join the Chat Group later, so he could go to that world and gain an advantage.
However, just as Lin Che was fantasizing, Luo Hao came up to him and said, "Since you have mastered both magic and Demon Power, starting from tomorrow, all your time will be spent on physical training and cultivating martial arts."
"Okay!" Lin Che nodded. He also wanted to finish learning Perfect Martial Arts as soon as possible and graduate.
A night passed, and the fourth day of the Holy Grail War ended, with three days remaining.
This day was very quiet, without any battles.
Lin Che woke up early, and the first thing he did was sign in to the group.
Since joining the Chat Group, nineteen days had passed, and he had signed in a total of 190 points.
After deducting the 10 points used to post a mission, he now had a total of 180 points.
Points had many uses. Besides trading between group members, they could also be used to replicate one's own abilities.
For example, Luo Hao's authority was obtained by God Slayer and could not be taught to others.
But she could use points to replicate her authority and then trade or give it away.
Besides replicating abilities, points could also replicate special bloodlines and talents.
The stronger the ability, bloodline, or talent replicated, the more points were required.
