Chapter 203: Joan of Arc
Joan of Arc, the national hero who ended the French Hundred Years' War and a Catholic saint, is said to have been inspired by the archangel to take over the military power after several twists and turns, and led the army to recover the lost territory occupied by the English, and at the age of 17, he liberated the besieged Orleans, allowing Charles VII to ascend to the throne.

It can be said that she is not only a national hero, but even became a propaganda figure for many politicians later, and it has been a tried and tested method to promote the concept of peace to the people with her noble image of a saint, and she has become more of a symbol than an excellent military strategist.
However, such a figure in the image of a saint died at the age of 19 for some boring reasons.
"That group of ungrateful fellows actually called the saint a heretic and a witch, that she was a messenger sent by the devil, and that she fought hard to gain the trust of the public, but as long as those around Joan of Arc knew very well, she fought for only one purpose, and that was for peace."
The blonde girl became more and more excited the more she spoke, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes from time to time.
She was the daughter of the owner of the hotel, and her father went to Sweden to buy goods, leaving her alone at home, because the village has always been peaceful and there are no outsiders, so it is not a problem.
Mileia, that's her name, it's not like a Greek name, because it's in Greece, but the people in the village know very well that they are descendants of France.
Taking the tissue from Serra, Miresia wiped her tears and continued.
"After Joan of Arc was burned at the stake, Marshal Gilles de Ray went insane, and he was also defined as a wicked man by the Heresy Trial, and imprisoned for the rest of his life in a dark room, but it is said that he later developed black magic, which of course I do not know, because our ancestors moved here after that."
Unable to bear the evil ways of Joan of Arc, but not wanting to trample on the peace brought by the Holy Woman, the ancestors of Meresia fled France together and came to distant Greece, where they settled and named the village Vic, which is how the village came from.
"I see." Rowe leaned against the wall of the room, he wondered why Joan of Arc was in such a place, not to mention how she was summoned, this Greek town didn't seem to have anything to do with her, so it didn't matter.
After the wildebeest departed, and the village was devastated, after calming the villagers a little, Rowe and the others returned to the hotel to learn about the incident.
"Well, so I really didn't think about it." Remisia stood up and walked over to Joan of Arc, her eyes full of flashes of light, her adoration exposed. "I can see Joan of Arc in history, you are more beautiful and holy than in the picture."
"Thank you for the compliment." Hold Remisia's outstretched hand and make eye contact with Merethea.
There seems to be some kind of strange atmosphere between the two blonde girls, and it may become some kind of flower plot if it continues.
"Uh-huh." Interrupting their conversation in the usual way, Rowe asked, "And Miss Joan of Arc, how did you get summoned here?" Or are you self-presenting? ”
If so, who is the summoner? It hasn't appeared until now, and if it's an autonomous realm, Luo Wei can understand it, after all, that's how an unserious magician appeared.
"On this point, I think it is necessary to elaborate on this, I was summoned, my Master, right here." Joan of Arc looked at Milesia and smiled. "Milesia is my Master, and I was summoned by her through the Black Grail."
"Wait a minute? Are you sure? "Luo Wei was a little confused, not to mention that Milesia is not a magician, after all, when Luo Wei summoned X, he didn't open the magic circuit, but the corresponding holy relic, that is, the catalyst, was not prepared, how did she summon Joan of Arc?
"Of course, Milesia is my master, I am not lying about this, the summoning is carried out on my own initiative, Milesia is only used as a base point to support my present world here, and the main power that becomes my lord is still the call from the Black Grail, which is the main body that can summon me here."
"Even if there is no holy relic?" Luo Wei didn't understand this, and in this way, wouldn't he be able to summon servants without a holy relic at all?
"No, it's just the connection between Miresia and me, the trust she has in me, she believes that I'm a saint, not a witch as the Inquisition said, that's the best connection between us, isn't it?"
Hearing Joan of Arc's words, Milethea's face turned crimson, and she seemed to be shy.
"In other words, anyone who believes in Joan of Arc can summon you, right?" The doubts about Joan of Arc have been solved, but the doubts about the Black Grail are becoming more and more, and after all, what exactly is its working principle, according to the current situation, the results of the research of the wandering sea are also doubtful.
"The current situation is that Milesia summoned me, so I will appear here, and as a Ruler, unlike other servants, I have a clear purpose, which is to save humanity."
Ruler, a familiar and unfamiliar class, was first exposed to this rank when he learned about the Third Holy Grail War in the Far East, and compared to Avenger, who was also an additional class, Ruler was the adjudicator on the opposite side of the Avengers, and even less often appeared in the records than the Avengers.
The last time he appeared in the present world, it should have been when the Clock Tower and a certain family caused the Black and Red Holy Grail War, as the fifteenth servant and the adjudicator of the current world, it seems that he is also Joan of Arc, and he came to the present world through the way of mimicry servants, and then it was different again.
No matter what era it is, Joan of Arc's goal has not changed, that is, to save humanity and maintain peace, and from this point of view, Joan of Arc should be regarded as Rowe's partner.
One of the inherent skills based on the Ruler rank is to see through the real name, and being able to see the true name of any Servant involved in the Holy Grail War can be said to be a very practical skill.
That's why she was able to debunk the fact that Nero was an emperor in the first place.
However, she did not reveal X's identity, and Rowe continued to ask about this, and Joan of Arc did not seem to see through X's real name.
"No, I did see her real name, but it was a little vague because there were two names that were repeated, one was Artoria Pendragon and the other was X, and I didn't know which one to think of her."
"What do you mean? Don't you want to say that X and the Knight King are not the same person? "That's too unbelievable, the last Holy Grail War can be said to be the internal war of King Arthur's family, and X's performance also proves that she was indeed a knight king, how can this happen?
Luo Wei looked at X, and the other party shook her head, obviously she didn't understand what was going on.
"I can't explain that." Joan of Arc bowed her head slightly, apologizing. "But there's one more thing I need to make clear with a few people."
"What?"
"What do you know about the Black Grail?"
Rowe told Joan of Arc what he had received from the sea, but Joan of Arc denied it.
"That's not right, it's not a disaster caused by the summoning of a servant, it's just because there is a disaster that the servant needs to be summoned."
Joan of Arc's words made Rowe frown.
"In the final analysis, the function of that black holy grail is limited to summoning servants, and it cannot cause disasters, because there is a disaster, and it cannot be solved by relying on manpower alone, so it is necessary to summon servants to solve the problems caused by disasters."
"How did that catastrophe come about?" If it wasn't summoned by the Black Grail, what would it be?
Although the question was asked, Luo Wei seemed to have the answer in his heart.
"I don't really understand the implications, but if nothing else, it's the result of inhibition."
Luo Wei let out a sigh of relief, is this really the case in his heart?
The so-called inhibition is the "corrector of the direction", and there is the Gaia consciousness that exists to ensure the survival of the planet and the alaya consciousness that guarantees the survival of mankind, both of which are manifestations of the inhibition force.
Since the catastrophe was not caused by the Black Grail, then it should have been brought about by Gaia's consciousness, and only such a thing as inhibition could give birth to such a terrible power.
"In other words, is the enemy this time those ethereal consciousnesses again?" Rowe leaned against the wall, a little frustrated.
The last time they were in Kamran, they had successfully repelled a wave of beast tides, and there was no doubt that it was also the result of Gaia's consciousness, although it was repellent, but in fact it was just a simple passive defense, and they didn't even know how the beast tide appeared, just like the various disasters this time.
What about Alayya? If the Gaia consciousness, which wants to destroy humanity in order to ensure the survival of the planet, has given birth to a disaster, then in what way does the Alayya consciousness, which protects humanity, protect humanity?
"It's the Black Grail." As if sensing Rowe's doubts, Joan of Arc told all she knew. "The Black Grail is the representative of the side of the Alayya, and the purpose of the servants summoned through it is to protect the human race, but except for me, the other servants should simply follow the instructions of the master, and they don't know about this matter."
Is this the peculiarity of the Ruler rank? There are so many things to know.
"In other words, in order to deal with the ten possible disasters, the human race must summon ten servants through the Black Grail?" Luo Wei said with some self-muttering.
"That's right." Joan of Arc nodded affirmatively.
"Cut, at the end of the day, can you only find the answer to all your questions?" Luo Wei looked out the window, the night sky was still dark without moonlight.
"That person?" Joan of Arc didn't understand what Rowe was talking about.
"The guy who made the Black Grail, of course." The information he received from the wandering sea was completely different from what Joan of Arc said, so Rowe had no way of knowing how the Black Grail worked, and the only person who could answer his questions was King Solomon.
