A blond girl wearing a blue cloak was taking a nap while leaning on the back of a chair.
Servants do not need to sleep, but this is in a [physiological sense]. Unlike humans who will die if they do not sleep, Servants will not affect their physiological functions even if they do not rest for a whole year. Of course, mental fatigue is another matter
Never mind.
Maybe it's because the sun is very good today. The half-rainbow, half-pure bright light shining through the half-ruined stained glass of the church is so warm that it makes people feel like they can't help but want to stop and take a rest.
In short, the girl who was sitting on the chair thinking about something unknowingly dozed off, rested her head on her palms, and nodded slightly. The sun shone on her beautiful cheeks, revealing a purity like a saint.
breath.
In fact, Joan of Arc was not in a perfect state when she was summoned.
She doesn't know the specific reason herself. She only knows that it's because she is a follower and it's not complete.
First of all, her job is not the regular Seven Horsemen, but a special job called [Ruler]. This job will not be summoned in a normal Holy Grail War unless special means are used.
, or an [abnormality] occurred in the Holy Grail War.
For example, in a certain Holy Grail War, because someone obtained the Holy Grail in advance, through cheating, the seven Masters were all from the same camp. Under such circumstances, the Holy Grail spontaneously summoned seven other knights and servants named
The Judge's Chastity.
In a sense, it is similar to [referee].
Since he is a referee, he must have the power to make mandatory orders. For example, the referee in a football match has the special right to give a yellow card warning and a red card, right? This is a [special authority] that other players do not have. If everyone has it, there will be no competition.
Compared.
In fact, if Joan of Arc responds to the summons in full condition, she can be said to be the [strongest Servant]. Because she will obtain a command spell twice the number of servants in the Holy Grail War. In other words, she has the ability to control [any one]
The Servant’s Two Absolute Commands].
To put it to the extreme, if this ability is given to some villain - such as Yagi Yusei, he will definitely use two command spells to order the enemy to commit suicide. This is a sure win, isn't it?
In addition, there is also ultra-wide-area aura detection. Even the assassin's aura interception cannot avoid this detection. It is equivalent to a servant detection radar.
There are many other privileges... To put it simply, as the [Referee] of the Holy Grail War, she should have had the [Absolute Authority] to [execute heretics in the Holy Grail War].
However, when summoned this time, none of these privileges appeared.
Although Joan of Arc behaves very normally, she is actually a little anxious in her heart. She always wonders whether she is [Jones of Arc]. Her memory is very vague and her abilities are ambiguous. Is she the real Joan of Arc? Or is she some kind of person?
Do you think you are Joan of Arc's memory fragment?
She couldn't tell either.
As Joan of Arc, the most important and distinctive ability is that Joan of Arc can [listen to God's revelations]. The Almighty God will always convey correct instructions to Joan of Arc when necessary. However, this time, the French Singularity,
Even this ability has been lost.
This is like a pale-faced Guan Yunchang without a beard, a Minamoto Yoshitsune who doesn't know how to fight, or a great pirate King Arthur, which will only make people feel inexplicable.
Rarely, her spirit relaxed in the sunshine, and Jeanne fell into a deep sleep with these worries.
While sleeping, I could vaguely feel some kind of... special feeling.
(Chaldea is an [obstacle].)
(Chaldea is an existence that "must be destroyed".)
(The last Master of mankind must [die].)
In her sleep, she could vaguely feel this special sound.
Is it a revelation from God? Or is it the influence of the [distorted cognition] engraved in the singularity by France’s enemies?
Before Joan of Arc could analyze this in her sleep, she felt someone push her shoulder again. When she woke up quickly, the first thing she did was to put the mask on her face.
"It's too late. If it were an outsider, they would have discovered your secret long ago."
The man in white clothes, who claimed to be a French caster, teased her with a peaceful smile.
It sounded like he was joking, but the words only had a scholar's unique literate flavor, which didn't make people feel funny at all. He didn't know whether he should answer the words, whether he should laugh or apologize.
Jeanne coughed dryly and decided to skip this question.
After all, she is essentially just an ordinary French village girl.
As an aside, Martha was originally a peasant woman. It seems easy for a saint to make a fortune in the countryside.
"What's wrong, French caster? What's going on?"
He is an orthodox caster, very good at all kinds of magic, whether it is familiars or crystal balls, he is very good at detecting enemies and so on.
Therefore, he was entrusted with the important task by Joan of Arc and was responsible for monitoring the situation everywhere.
"Well, there is. And... there are three pieces of good news and three pieces of bad news."
As he spoke, his two hands stretched out the corresponding number of fingers in a very cooperative manner.
"There are really many. Let's talk about them one by one. French caster."
"Well. First of all, let's talk about the bad news. The Dragon Witch is here. And, according to observations, she has already reunited with the noisy Dragon Girl. Because of the arrival of the Dragon Witch, we lost three detachments. A total of
17 people.”
As he spoke, he folded his fingers together and announced the three pieces of bad news one by one.
This is indeed very bad news. There is no worse news than that the enemy has become stronger.
Moreover, the morale of our own people will definitely be much lower...
Jeanne's heart skipped a beat, sighed, and braced herself to listen to the three pieces of good news he said next.
"The good news is, first of all, the Chaldean saviors have liberated Nancy. Moreover, they are coming to us."
"Are these two?"
Joan of Arc reacted and asked strangely.
"Hmm, the third one. That is, I found the lone servant. It is the servant we need most - the dragon-slaying hero."
He smiled mysteriously and announced the last item.
"Dragon Slayer?! Siegfried?"
For some reason, there were so many dragon slayers, but Jeanne's first reaction was Siegfried.
I'm afraid it's because she had some fate with the dragon slayer in the Holy Grail War that Joan of Arc participated in before.
"Ah, I'm sorry, it's not the dragon-slaying hero, but this one should be more familiar to you, right?"
The French caster showed a peaceful smile, bowed behind him, and invited the men outside the church to come in.
He has long caramel brown hair and a resolute face that looks weather-beaten and very reliable. He wears a solid reddish-brown armor and a white robe decorated with red lines, giving him the air of a holy knight.
Yes, Joan of Arc is indeed more familiar with this person. When she saw his figure, Joan of Arc subconsciously sat up straight - they are both saints praised by the world. Although they have not met, they are both Christian saints, and their names are still the same.
understand.
Dragon Knight, Saint George, Giorgios!
[Note: St. George is a Christian saint, and Joan of Arc is a Catholic saint. Catholicism is a branch of Christianity, so it is said here that everyone is a Christian saint. 】
