With a good start, the atmosphere of communication becomes much lighter and lighter.

"Assassin, did you come to me on purpose?"

"Yes, I'm here for you—ah, when I meet the others, please say we met by chance, because I'm on my own initiative. ”

Joan of Arc's sitting posture is very upright, Shinji looks very casual, and although Jeanne d'Arc is a little unaccustomed to it, she is not disgusted by it.

"Is there anything you want me to do?"

"First of all, I want to see what kind of person Ruler is, and it would be better if I could build a good relationship. ”

Shinji wasn't lying, that was indeed his purpose. But this "what kind of person" and Joan of Arc must think differently, Joan of Arc thinks it is in terms of personality and conduct, and Shinji is purely to see the face, to see how similar Joan of Arc Altoria is, and by the way to verify whether the ruler is Joan of Arc, and more importantly, you must see the legendary "Joan of Arc ~ De ~ Bo ~ Good ~ Big".

The result made him quite satisfied - it was really suitable for movement and quiet, the scenery was unique, and with a height of only 159cm, the childish face was so much, which fiercely satisfied Shinji's intellectual curiosity of an otaku.

Yes, seeking knowledge, seeking knowledge, and wanting to face the wall crookedly.

It is also necessary to build a good relationship, and Joan of Arc has an irreplaceable position in this Holy Grail War, leaving a good impression first and making it easier to act later.

For Shinji's kindness, Joan of Arc doesn't appreciate it.

"For the sake of caution, I'm going to make it clear that I'm not going to favor Black or Red in this Holy Grail War. ”

Hearing this cold word, Shinji was still smiling:

"If you're the kind of person who will cheat for personal gain, I don't think the Holy Grail will choose you as the adjudicator. As for me, although I am only an insignificant assassin, I also have my own pride—I rely on myself to win my victory, and that's what my teacher taught me. ”

"Isn't it pointless that you have made such a decision, why did you come to me?"

Shinji shook his head at Joan of Arc, "No, you're wrong, it's not something that doesn't make sense. The Holy Grail can only be obtained by one group of people, which dooms the cruelty and fierceness of this war for the Holy Grail, and also means that no one can be entrusted with it except his partner. If the master-slave relationship is not good, it is equivalent to fighting alone. ”

"And you are different, you are a referee, you are absolutely neutral, and you don't have to worry about stabbing me when you get along, and you don't have to worry about confidentiality, because of your referee status or job privileges, it is a fool to avoid or even warn you. ”

With that, Joan of Arc understood, "You think I'm a mobile church?"

In wars in Europe, the army would not attack the church, and the people would take refuge in the church.

"There's nothing wrong with that understanding, although I prefer to say safe haven, safe zone. ”

Shinji's statement made Joan of Arc feel very novel, she pondered her duties, and finally nodded: "I admit that there is some truth in your opinion, but I want to remind you that being by my side does not mean that you are absolutely safe. If there are enemy servants who fight you according to the rules of the Holy Grail War, I will not interfere. ”

Shinji smiled, and Joan of Arc's reminder was no exception: "The safe zone and safe haven I am talking about is more in the sense of the heart, and you can talk freely and casually. As for your non-interference in the battle, hehe, as it should be, no, it should be said that it is unbelievable. You won't interfere with the people who came to kill me, and you won't interfere with me lying in ambush around you and attacking and killing hostile servants, right?"

Joan of Arc's face changed slightly, she didn't expect the Black Assassin to take advantage of her words in turn, it seemed that it was premeditated. However, she led the French army to defeat the British army one after another before her death, and it was not that she couldn't understand Shinji's use of blind spots to ambush the enemy, but she was a little dissatisfied in her heart.

"It's your freedom, and as long as you don't break the rules, I won't interfere. ”

"Oh, oh, don't be so indifferent, it's a shame that such a beautiful face is always stiff. I know my approach is unpleasant to you, but my approach is also good for you. ”

"What's the benefit?"

"Don't think I'm a provocateur. Black's attitude towards you is that if he can, he will be wooed, and if he can't, he won't do anything to you. Red is different, they think you're in the way from the start and want to get rid of you. ”

"How is this possible!" Joan of Arc couldn't understand. She hadn't seen any of the Red side's master-minions, how could the other party be so hostile to her, and how could he behave so unwisely.

Not to mention that Ruler is a referee, not a participant, but Ruler's privileges have an overwhelming advantage over ordinary servants. The powerful perception ability sealed the sneak attack, and the Twenty-Eight Spells conferred by the Divine Judgment of the Career Skill Divine Judgment made everyone feel a huge amount of pressure.

Yes, the ruler has the same spell as the master, and has the right to enforce orders over the servants. Unlike the Master's Spell, the Ruler's Spell has certain limitations. The twenty-eight spells are divided into fourteen groups, corresponding to fourteen servants who participate in the war, each servant has two strokes, and the fourteen groups of spells are not common to each other, which means that Joan of Arc has only two commands for a single servant, unlike the master who can use it at will, as long as it is a servant who has made a contract with himself.

This is to prevent the adjudicator's authority from being excessively extensive. Just imagine, if the Twenty-Eight Spells were unlimited, who would be able to resist the will of the Ruler? It is not impossible to directly turn one or several Servants into their own puppets. Limit two strokes, and the Master can at least offset it with his own spell.

Although there are only two strokes, it is not enough to talk about life and death, but it is still no problem to create a little gap in the battle and create a chance for the ruler to kill or escape. Even if the enemy master is determined to kill the ruler and counteract it with his own spell, it means that the master has lost two precious spells, which is not conducive to future battles.

Taking the initiative to attack Ruler is not the right choice.

Seeing that Joan of Arc didn't believe it, Shinji didn't explain much, but said: "Whether it's true or not, just wait to know, facts speak louder than words." If the red side doesn't come, you can be wrong with my information, open your mouth, or have bad intentions. If I'm right, then I'm protecting you. ”

Joan of Arc's expression returned to calm: "I have enough power to protect myself. ”

The adjudicator is also a heroic spirit, and Joan of Arc is also powerful among the heroic spirits, and she has enough self-confidence.

"Then I want to take this opportunity to meet the heroes of the red side, and use this battle as the opening battle of the Holy Grail!"

Mordred's bullying of androids and golems is at most foreplay, and the War of the Servants is the mainstream of the Holy Grail War!
