Chapter 167 Mystery

Chapter 167 Mystery

@Matthew
This is...too...excessive...

@Roman doctor
It's pretty dilapidated inside... and while the outside is barely intact, it's hardly a fortress at all.

? 1: Because it was during the war?
@Matthew
... No, it's not possible.

? 2: All wounded soldiers.

@Matthew
yes.It shouldn't be the time of war now.

? !
@Matthew
In 1431, Charles VII of France should have signed a truce with Philip III who had defected to England.

@Matthew
Of course, there may be some small friction
@Soldier
Yay...! ?And... here we go again! !
@Matthew
[#Bonjour: hello].We are travelers.

@Matthew
We will not harm you.Please put down your arms please, [#MR:monsieur].

@Soldier
Isn't it... an enemy...?
@Roman doctor
Well.I didn't expect it to be so easy to trust us.Did you regain your sanity?Or
@Roman doctor
Already too exhausted to fight...?
@Matthew
Didn't Charles VII sign the truce?
@Soldier
King Charles?Don't you know.

@Soldier
The king is dead.Burned to death by the witch's flame.

@Matthew
……died……?By the witch's flame...?
@Soldier
It's [#Jeanne].That adult was revived as the "Dragon Witch".

@Soldier
The English army had long since retreated.But where can we escape?
@Soldier
This is our hometown, damn it, there is nothing we can do.

@Matthew
Jeanne is...a witch...?
? 1: Who is Joan of Arc?
@Matthew
Joan of Arc, the national salvation.He is a famous hero in the world.

@Matthew
In the latter part of the Hundred Years' War, a woman who stood up to save France that was about to fall.

@Matthew
At the age of 17, he bravely stood up to save France and took Orleans back in just one year...

@Matthew
But then she was captured by the British army, interrogated as a heretic, and burned at the stake.

@Matthew
…From the day she was put in prison to the day she was burned, she seemed to have been tortured and humiliated inhumanely every day.

@Matthew
The British attempted to claim that she was not a saint, but a heretic.

@Matthew
For this reason, she was tortured in every possible way, forcing her to say words such as "I have not heard the voice of the Lord".

@Matthew
However, she did not give in until the last moment.Even when he was burned at the stake, he never gave up his prayers.

@Matthew
Her reputation was restored only after her death, and she was officially recognized as a saint 400 years later.

@Matthew
A weak girl who changed the world with her own will. From this point of view, Joan of Arc can be regarded as the highest level of Heroic Spirit.

? 2:……………

? !
@Soldier
...!coming!Those guys are here!
@Roman doctor
Be vigilant!There is magic reaction!

@Roman doctor
A familiar created by injecting a small amount of magic power into a human body... a skeleton soldier.

@Roman doctor
This time the situation is different from the previous one.You two just let go and have a blast!

@Matthew
yes.Please master instructions!Kill them all without leaving any trace behind!
$01-00-01-02-2-0
@Matthew
……call.Thank you for your hard work.

@Soldier
You guys are actually able to fight against those guys.

@Matthew
……got used to.There is one more thing I would like to trouble you with. Please tell us what happened from the beginning to the end.

@Matthew
Is it true that Joan of Arc is resurrected?

@Soldier
right.I was at the Siege of Orleans and the ceremony, so I remember it well.

@Soldier
Although the hair color and skin color are different, it is undoubtedly the former saint.

@Soldier
When we heard that she had been captured by the English and burned at the stake, we were all outraged.

@Soldier
But she came back to life.And made a deal with the devil!

@Matthew
Devil... mean? ...Like the skeleton soldiers just now?
@Soldier
Not that.If it's just that, we can deal with that too.

@Matthew
...! !

@Soldier
Damn, sure enough!The enemy is coming, let's fight!
@Soldier
Come on, come on, get up, get up!The dragon is coming!If you don't resist, you will be eaten! !
@Roman doctor
There is a massive biological reaction all around you!And the speed is so fast...! ! !!
@Matthew
Already seen it!That... Could it be.

? 1: Dragon! ?
? 2: [#Wyvern:Wyvern]! ?
? !
@Matthew
Yes.They are a subspecies of dragon known as [#Wyvern:Wyvern].

@Matthew
In any case, this is definitely not a creature that should have existed in 15th century France!
@Roman doctor
coming!

@Matthew
Master, please do your best!This is completely incomparable with the withered bones just now!

@E:? ? ?
Warriors, pour water on yourselves!Although it's only for a moment, it can still resist their flames!

@Soldier
what……! ?

@E:? ? ?
Those over there!Please take up arms and fight!

@E:? ? ?
Please join me!follow me! !

@Matthew
This person is...

@Roman doctor
Oh, it's a follower!But the reaction is weak.What is she...

$01-00-01-02-2-1
@Matthew
...The one just now seems to be the last one.

@Roman doctor
Well done you guys!Oops, I was so engrossed that my hand holding the sesame bun was sweating!

@Matthew
doctor.Those are the sesame buns I prepared.

@Roman doctor
Huh?Why?Yeah?Since the steamed stuffed bun was placed in the control room with the tea, I thought...

@Matthew
...This is what I am going to prepare for the reward when I go back after this [#mission:Order] is over.

@Matthew
Of course it's not for doctors, it's for the seniors who will show their skills on the front line.

@Roman doctor
Mash... what a sensible child you have grown up to be... blah blah.

@Roman doctor
Um.By the way, this bun is really delicious.If he could eat this, He Luo would definitely be very happy!

@Matthew
...Master.When returning to Chaldea, please reserve enough resources for one battle in advance.

@Matthew
Because I registered another enemy who wanted to beat up with the back of the shield.

@Soldier
No way, don't you...you are!run away!The witch appeared!
@Matthew
Huh, witch...?
@Jean of Arc
……

@Jean of Arc
That... thank you very much.

@Matthew
You're welcome, it's as it should be.Say you are.

@Jean of Arc
arbiter.My servant class is Judge.

@Jean of Arc
My real name is Jeanne.

@Matthew
Joan...! ?

? 1: Didn't you say you've become a witch...

? 2: Isn't it already dead?

? !
@Jean of Arc
More on those later. ... It is not convenient to say these words in front of them.

@Jean of Arc
plz follow me.Please.

@Matthew
...she invited us.What should we do, senior?

? 1: Let’s go with her.

? 2: This is a clue.

? !
@fufu
Chirp, chirp!
@Roman doctor
I agree too.Although she is weak, she is still a Servant.

@Roman doctor
Certainly familiar with the conditions of this era.Go get the details.

@Jean of Arc
...Although it is very faint, I feel that there is something magical.

@Jean of Arc
It's very close to the fort.Take them down before they break into the fortress.

$01-00-01-03-2-0
@Matthew
All enemies are destroyed.Thanks for your hard work.

@Jean of Arc
yes. ...you should be relieved here.

@Jean of Arc
First, can you tell me your names.

@Matthew
OKMy personal name is Matthew Kyrielight.

@Matthew
This is Holo.It is my Master.

@Jean of Arc
Master...?This Holy Grail War also has a Master.

@Matthew
No, it has nothing to do with the Holy Grail War.I'm just a sub-servant.

@Jean of Arc
Sub-Servant...?
@Matthew
Not an official Heroic Spirit.Don't you know?

@Jean of Arc
... Well, let me first introduce my own situation.

@Jean of Arc
I am indeed a Servant.The class is the adjudicator, I still have the awareness of this.

@Jean of Arc
But... most of the knowledge about the Holy Grail War that should have been given to me is gone.

@Jean of Arc
No, not only the knowledge, but also the ability level has been lowered.

@Jean of Arc
Not to mention the command spells used during the battle against the servants, they couldn't even see through the opponent's real name.

@Jean of Arc
Fortunately, this is the hometown where I was born and raised.At least the language is still the same...

@Matthew
That's what the soldier said just now.It is said that Joan of Arc became the "Dragon Witch".

@Jean of Arc
...I was just summoned to the present world a few hours ago, so I don't know the specific situation very well.

@Jean of Arc
It seems that there is another Joan of Arc in this world.

@Jean of Arc
A Joan of Arc who killed King Charles VII of France and carried out a massacre in Orleans...

@Matthew
Is this what it means to summon two identical servants in the same era...?
@Roman doctor
Hmm... If I read the records of the Holy Grail War, I think there should be precedents for simultaneous summons like this.

@Roman doctor
In any case, what is certain now is that Charles VII is dead and Orléans is occupied.

@Roman doctor
This means that the country of France is gradually collapsing.

@Roman doctor
In history, France was the first country to advocate human freedom and equality, and many countries followed suit.

@Roman doctor
But if this right it possesses is postponed for a hundred years, civilization will therefore stagnate.

@Roman doctor
If this right is not recognized, we may still be repeating the same life as in the Middle Ages.

@Jean of Arc
Only voices can be heard...is this magic?are you
@Roman doctor
Whoops, so I haven't introduced myself yet.Meet for the first time, Joan of Arc.

@Roman doctor
I'm Romani Archman.Everyone calls me Roman.

@Roman doctor
I am the one in charge of supporting them.Please advise.

@Jean of Arc
So it turns out that Roman... is a person who loves to dream and has a rich imagination!

@Roman doctor
...Why is there a sense of fiasco?Obviously being praised, but not happy at all...

@Matthew
Sorry, [#Miss Jeanne: Mademoiselle Jeanne].This time it's our turn to explain.

@Matthew
We belong to an organization called Chaldea, whose purpose is to correct this distorted history.

@Jean of Arc
...I see, I understand.I never thought that the whole world was being burned down.

@Jean of Arc
My troubles are so trivial.but now i
@fufu
Fuu?

@Jean of Arc
I'm not perfect as a Servant, and even I can't trust "myself".

@Jean of Arc
...not only Joan of Arc who invaded Orléans... but also those flying dragons...

@Matthew
It's a wyvern, I guess. ... Creatures like flying dragons should not have existed in France in the fifteenth century.

@Matthew
What's more, the soldiers also called Jeanne the "Dragon Witch."

@Jean of Arc
Um.Although I don't want to admit it, the person who controls the dragon should be [#“我”:Jeanne d’Arc].

@Jean of Arc
I don't know exactly how it is manipulated.I never even thought about it when I was alive.

@Jean of Arc
I heard that summoning dragons is the highest level of magic.What's more, there are still so many dragons together.

@Roman doctor
It is impossible for modern magicians to do it.It is also difficult to do this at the level of magic in this era.

@Roman doctor
That is to say... Holo.If you can use this foul method,

? 1: ...the possibility of using the Holy Grail is high?
@Roman doctor
That's right.Although it is still speculation, we cannot stay out of it.

? 2: ...do you prefer bean paste filling to bean paste filling?
@Roman doctor
Do you still want to talk about this topic! ?How deep is your resentment! ?
? !
@Matthew
……I see.Although there are still many things I don't understand, I have already grasped the general situation.

@Matthew
[#Miss Jeanne: Mademoiselle Jeanne].What are you going to do next?
@Jean of Arc
...I have set a goal.

@Jean of Arc
Head towards Orleans and take back the city.For this, Joan of Arc who is an obstacle must be eliminated.

@Jean of Arc
Although I don't have the Lord's revelation and I don't know what method to use, I can't just sit idly by.

@Matthew
...Even if you are alone, you have to fight to the end... How should I put it, this is a character exactly as described in the history books, Master.

? 1: Well, I thought so too.

? 2: Well, totally different from Da Vinci pro.

? !
@Matthew
Master, and the doctor.Our goal is the same as Mademoiselle Jeanne's.

@Matthew
I think we should adopt the policy of assisting her in the future, what do you think?

? 1: Of course, I think so too.

? 2: Even if it is not a task, I will assist her.

? !
@Roman doctor
really.Assisting Joan of Arc is the best choice now.It is a rare honor to be able to fight side by side with the Holy Maiden of Salvation!
@Matthew
Very good.Then I formally propose to you, [#Miss Joan:Mademoiselle Jeanne].

@Matthew
Although we also have our own purpose, we still hope to walk with you and be your help.

@Matthew
Will we be allowed to fight alongside your banner as your aid?
@Jean of Arc
Don't say that... I should be asking you guys.Really appreciate it.

@Jean of Arc
...Thank you, Matthew and He Luo.I thought I had to fight alone.

@Jean of Arc
... Then let's start now, let's fight side by side.He Luo, please give me instructions!

$01-00-01-03-2-1
@Jean of Arc
Just now I said that I want to fight alone, I am really too embarrassed.Thanks to you two, I feel confident now.

@Jean of Arc
Even if my opponent is me, who is called a witch, I have nothing to fear with such a reliable partner.

? 1: The person called a witch is

? 2: It doesn't matter, right?
? !
@Jean of Arc
Nothing.

@Jean of Arc
...Of course, they mistook me for another Joan, which is somewhat sad.

@Jean of Arc
But this is also impossible.

@Jean of Arc
In fact, it has only been a few days since I was burned at the stake...

@Jean of Arc
If the resurrected me did the massacre at Orléans, they were rightly afraid of me.

@Jean of Arc
... Originally, I was worried that rash actions would irritate England, but looking at the current situation, I seem to be relieved.

@Jean of Arc
Right now, all he needs to do is identify Joan of Arc, known as the Witch, and defeat her.

@Jean of Arc
Ah, but for now, let's focus on reconnaissance first.Although the goal is simple, it is difficult to achieve.

@Roman doctor
As expected of Joan of Arc, she is good at marching and fighting.As she said, it would be too reckless to attack Orleans directly.

@Roman doctor
It's uncharted territory, and we don't have a base yet.Right now, priority must be given to collecting defense-related intelligence.

@Roman doctor
There is also the witch Joan of Arc or call her Black Joan of Arc.I want to investigate and confirm what kind of Servant she is.

@Roman doctor
Then there is combat power.It would be great if you can find other helpers.

@Matthew
Miss Joan.Can you feel the reaction of other servants besides us?

@Jean of Arc
I'm very sorry, but I can't use the Servant Detection ability of the Judge at the moment.

@Jean of Arc
I am now like an ordinary follower, and I cannot detect it unless I am within a certain distance.

? 1: ...wait a moment.What about the other Joan of Arc?

? 2: ...can the adjudicator detect the follower?
? !
@Jean of Arc
...!I was careless, there is indeed such a possibility.

@Jean of Arc
The other me... No, it's the witch Joan... Ah, really, it's so troublesome, I'll call her Black Joan too!
@Jean of Arc
Um, if that Black Jeanne is really me as a Servant, then her class is the Judge.

@Jean of Arc
In that case, our location will be instantly sensed by the other party. ...It seems that we are ready to fight at any time.

@Jean of Arc
It would have been desirable to limit intelligence gathering in cities or villages to a minimum if possible
@Jean of Arc
But there is no room for us to do so now that there is no clue.

@Jean of Arc
Let's go tomorrow morning.Since He Luo is a human being, it's better to sleep first...

? 1: I will go to rest.

? 2: Are you okay?
? !
@Jean of Arc
Ah, I'm fine.

@Jean of Arc
Although the level of ability has been weakened, he still has the basic ability to be a servant.

@Jean of Arc
So, good night.

@Jean of Arc
Is He Luo already asleep?

@Matthew
Well, although I am not used to sleeping in the wild, I fell asleep very quickly by accident.

@Jean of Arc
so...

@Matthew
...Don't you...do you have anything to say to us?
@Jean of Arc
……

@Matthew
Although I don't intend to go into details...

@Matthew
But if it will become an obstacle to the battle, I think it is better to remove this factor.

@Jean of Arc
you're right.I see, so let me confess.

@Jean of Arc
Maybe it's because my Servant summoning... isn't complete yet.

@Jean of Arc
Or maybe it's because the old me just died a few days ago.

@Jean of Arc
How should I put it, I feel like a [#novice follower] right now.

@Matthew
Newbie?

@Jean of Arc
Yes.In the constellation of Heroes, there is no such thing as past or future.

@Jean of Arc
However, now I don't even have the strength to touch the record.Therefore, it can be said that I am now an incompetent Servant.

@Jean of Arc
It was like the first time I was on the battlefield before I was alive.The magician who felt a little frivolous just now...

@Jean of Arc
Although he said that I am the saint of salvation.But I don't have the power to match this title.

@Jean of Arc
...so... that... I think I'm the one holding you back.

@Matthew
Miss Joan, if that's what you want to say, don't worry at all.

@Jean of Arc
what……?
@Matthew
Because, like you, Miss Jeanne, I am equivalent to someone who is on the battlefield for the first time.

@Matthew
Because I'm a sub-servant, I can't fully display the power of a heroic spirit.

@Matthew
Even so, the heroic spirit inside me told me, "It doesn't matter."

@Matthew
And the senior Master still gives me full trust.

@Matthew
...It may be difficult to express clearly, but seniors did not fight "because they are strong".

@Matthew
I think that person is just doing what he should do for granted.

@Matthew
So, I don't think you need to worry.That... Although these words are baseless.

@Jean of Arc
……Thank you.I feel a little more relaxed.

@Jean of Arc
I know this era well, and this country.Let's work together starting tomorrow!

@Matthew
