Chapter 255: Gilles de Ray
At this time, Tristan is also in the state of a real hero.
After all, he was a direct substitute for Artoria from another world to answer the Holy Grail Call, not from Valhalla to the Holy Grail War.
So purely from the attribute point of view, he still has the strength to fight with the Knight King.
And yetβ
"Tristan, Maimi." Alice Phil's palm clenched her dress, "Losing the battle...... There's no need to start,"
She wasn't untrusting Tristan.
But if you start fighting, you really don't see the slightest chance of winning.
The other party himself is a master with extraordinary powers, and in addition to Artoria, there is another servant who undoubtedly exudes amazing magical powers.
Even if Kiritsugu returns, it will be difficult to create a miracle.
"That's for the best." A rope appeared in Shen He's hand and tied up Jiuyu Maimi tightly, "Joan of Arc, look at Alice Phil's physical condition." β
"Joan of Arc......" Alice Phil covered her lips in surprise, "could it be that prestigious maiden, a Catholic saint?" β
"Do you even know me?" Joan of Arc herself was taken aback, but then smiled excitedly and embarrassedly, "Oh, really, I'm not a super-famous Hero." β
β......β
Shen He looked at her with crying and laughing eyes, and patted her back distressedly.
This was the first time Joan of Arc had met someone who recognized her just by name.
Although she is a legendary religious figure, and her tragic end result has led to the widespread circulation of artistic creations, in terms of worldwide popularity, she is still not as famous as Napoleon, and even a scholar like Tony only learned about her after checking the information.
"How so?" Alice Fell laughed, "I don't think anyone who knows about the war that lasted for a hundred years won't fail to know the deeds of Miss Joan of Arc." β
Indeed, the turning point of the Hundred Years' War between England and France began with Joan of Arc being given the title of "Commander-in-Chief of the War" by France.
Alice Fell looked at the smiling saintess in front of her, and her heart was also slightly relieved.
The Heroic Spirit with the title of "Saint" appears as a Servant, and its meaning is different from that of ordinary Servants, at least, it will not be an evil and murderous person.
"I'll help you see how you're doing."
Joan of Arc suddenly had a good impression of this beautiful woman who knew her name, and she gently raised her wrist and closed her eyes.
But after a moment, her face changed.
"To do such a thing!" Joan of Arc clasped her fingers and clasped her fingers on Alice Fair, her eyes filled with sincere emotion, "It must be very uncomfortable." β
"If you want to say something uncomfortable...... I'm used to it. Alice Phil smiled slightly, "I was originally created as an android for the Holy Grail War. β
"How can you ......" Joan of Arc still felt unacceptable, "Although you have undergone a magic transformation, you are clearly human, you ...... He even had children of his own. β
It's just a very simple test, and it's not difficult to see that Alice Phil has ever conceived and given birth.
So for Joan of Arc, there is no doubt that what is done to her can be called an evil deed.
"Alright." Shen He opened his mouth to interject and came in, "Joan of Arc, the Holy Grail War is originally such a thing, everyone kills each other for their own wishes, and only one person can win in the end, this kind of war, and it is not possible to expect it to be full of love and tolerance. β
"......" Joan of Arc was silent.
Although it has long been known that human beings sometimes do things that are difficult to accept.
But every time she witnesses evil, it still makes her feel sad.
"So, what's wrong with Lady Weigong's body?" Artoria couldn't help but ask.
Before she met Shen He, Artoria had always believed that the Holy Grail was a treasure of the Heroic Spirits, something that contained the hopes and wishes of all the Heroic Spirits.
"In her body, she has been portrayed since she was a child with the magic of absorbing the soul of a servant." Joan of Arc explained simply, "And as the Holy Grail War progresses, Alice Phil absorbs more and more Servant souls, and the load will increase...... She will gradually lose her function as a human being, and eventually become a Holy Grail...... But this approach is only a shortcut to the roots. β
β...... It turned out to be like this. "For the first time, Artoria has learned about the so-called Holy Grail.
Shen He was silent.
Because what Joan of Arc said, he already knew.
The Holy Grail that appeared through the android was not actually the Great Holy Grail that was actually used to summon Servants and establish the Holy Grail War System.
It is just a moment of return to Valhalla to open a "hole" that connects to the roots, and this is the most fundamental and original purpose of the Holy Grail War - to achieve the magicians' quest to reach the roots.
As for the desire in propaganda......
Connecting to the root itself means that there is an almost infinite amount of magic from the root, and it also represents "omnipotence".
Shen He vaguely remembered that the original personality of the two ceremonies, the root form, was bored with everything in the outside world because of this, and chose to sleep.
But what exactly is this so-called "omnipotent"......
Shen He didn't pay attention to this when he learned about Shiyue's worldview in the past, after all, he was not a moon chef.
He just likes paper people.
Forget it, there's no point in caring about these, after all, there is no way to go back and kidnap the original author now.
"Joan of Arc." Shen He gathered his thoughts, "Only the souls of five servants are needed to summon the Holy Grail to appear, with Alice Phil's body, can it last until that time?" β
"If I had been around at that time, it wouldn't have been a problem." Joan of Arc gave an exact reply.
"I see." Shen He nodded lightly.
After removing Jin Shining and Tristan, there are exactly five servants left.
In this way, the next thing to do is to solve these five servants one by one.
A few servants must be arranged to protect Alice Phil.
Shen He silently summoned in his heart, and Yifang Tong, Misaka Mikoto Alter, Violet, and Huby appeared in front of him.
Suddenly so many people appeared, Alice Fell was taken aback.
Then I learned that they were all Chaldeans, but ...... It's just kids.
"Huby." Shen He pulled Huby to his side and pointed at Alice Phil, "From now on, you will stay by her side and keep her safe." β
"Protection? Does that mean that the target person is not harmed? Hubby's handicraft-like eyes looked at Shen He, "Hubby has never performed this kind of mission. β
"It's okay......" Shen He flicked Xiubi's slightly cute forehead, "What do you think is protection, how to do it." β
Hughby raised his hand and touched his forehead, turning his gaze to Alice Phil.
Then he moved to her, his gaze fixed on her.
"It's ......" Alice Phil was a little overwhelmed at first.
But then she looked at the bare mechanical part of Huby's body, wondering if she had misunderstood something, and her eyes were suddenly full of kindness.
Shen He arranged the tasks of several other people.
It is to be expected that several fierce battles will break out today.
And just as Shen He was about to leave, a hairy feeling suddenly appeared in his heart again, which made him frown.
The first time it may be an illusion, the second time it may not be.
"Masterββ!
Joan of Arc, who was giving Alice Fell a further check-up, suddenly raised her head, her face full of surprise as if she wanted to say something.
But Artoria interrupted her, "There's a servant standing outside the door. β
The silver-white armor had appeared on the Knight King's body, and the wind flowed around the invisible sword.
In this case, it can be said that any Servant is an enemy.
"Let's go check it out." Shen He stood up.
Everyone, including Alice Phil, who was protected, followed him towards the door.
It was a man dressed in a wide robe with blood-colored lines.
There are a lot of luxurious precious metal ornaments on the clothes, but what is even more impressive is the man's nimble eyes, which, in all fairness, are completely ruined by these eyes, and become an impression that can be called strange.
Caster, Generalissimo of France, Gilles de Rey.
is also because of the big eyes that are said to have been poked out by Joan of Arc, Shen He recognized the person in front of him at a glance.
"Haha, hahaha!"
After Shen He and the others appeared, they appeared in front of the man with some crazy joy and joy, even the abrupt big eyes were filled with tears of joy, he laughed heartily, and then respectfully knelt on one knee to the ground, for a while, the magician-like robe showed a trace of the general's demeanor on his body.
"No words can express my joy, Your Highness, I have been looking forward to your resurrection and to seeing you again."
β......β
All eyes turned to Joan of Arc.
Here, she is the only one who can be called Her Highness the Holy Maiden.
"...... Jill "
Joan of Arc took a few steps forward, stepped out of the crowd, and walked to a position next to Shen He.
Then, spears with banners and armor appeared behind her.
"Answer me." The spear drove the sound of breaking the air and pointed at the man in front of him, Joan of Arc's gaze did not have the gentleness of being a saint in the past, but replaced it with a cold fighting intent, "Are you still the Jill I know?" β
β...... Ahhh I have always been your faithful servant! Joan of Arc! β
Crying and angry voices roared out of Jill's mouth, and he stared at the flickering tip of the gun in front of him with an expression of disbelief, pounding his chest inadequately, and his originally happy face turned into hysterical madness as if it had turned into hysterical madness in a dramatic moment.
"No....." Joan of Arc looked at Jill with a deliberately indifferent look for a while, and could no longer suppress the pity in his heart, "You are no longer Jill." β
"How so." Jill fell to her knees on the ground, rubbing against the tip of Joan of Arc's spear, stretching out her hands as if begging, and screaming, "Are you going to abandon me?" Will you forsake your faithful servant? I gave everything, even pinning my hopes on the devil, just to be able to see your light again, to be able to get your guidance again, whyββ! Joan of Arc! β
A disgusting aura, as if seeing a filthy sewer, swept over everyone.
Jill in front of him, even the boiling magic in his body, was full of evil tendencies.
Shen He raised his hand and motioned for the rest of the people not to make a move.
This was his agreement with Joan of Arc.
"It's getting late, Jill." Joan of Arc's lips squirmed slightly, "What happened cannot be changed, and everyone needs to bear the sins they have done. β
"Oh, oh, woo......" Gil cried out in grief, tearing her hair incessantly, "what a sorrow, what a sigh, Joan of Arc! My beautiful saint! Even after such a dirty betrayal, do you still believe in God's foolishness, and are you still willing to abandon me and your companions for God's sake!? β
"I will not abandon my companions for the sake of the Lord......" Joan of Arc's hand holding the spear no longer hesitated, she looked sadly at Jill in front of her, "it was you who abandoned yourself for me." β
β......β
All the sounds on the scene suddenly stopped.
Tears were still streaming from Jill's eyes, but he wasn't wailing anymore.
Even the face distorted by the pain gradually regained its calm.
"That's right, Joan of Arc! I've lost myself. Jill looked obsessively at Joan of Arc in front of him, "I am lost in your holiness, but why should you worship the cruel god devoutly, God is just a vile villain, he plays with your holiness wantonly, but ignores me who insults it and defiles it - I want to save you from the bondage of God!" Joan of Arc! β
With a final cry of desire, Jill stood up on the ground with a tall body.
The smell of brutal blood rose from his body.
This is a kind of bloodshed that is different from a general, and it is not a hegemon, just like a murderer who kills life by torture and plays with blood to feed enjoyment.
And with his movements.
One by one, children emerge from hidden alleys, shadows of the streets, unnoticed paths.
"This is my gift for you, Holy Maiden." Jill spread her hands as if to show off, "I will prove to you the shamelessness of God, and if God is as glorious as you believe, how will He save these wretched, small, pure children." β
The moment the figure fell, his figure had already dissipated like a black mist.
And one by one, the children stretched out their hands one after another and staggered towards Joan of Arc.
With a pained expression, and a moaning sound like crying.
"Holy Maiden."
"Lord Angel."
"Please help us, please, it's so uncomfortable......"
Poofββ!
The sound of bubbles popping, like the opposite sex in a movie, the tentacles tore apart the body, devoured the flesh, and wriggled the ugly body.
"Master!"
Artoria couldn't help but shout.
She bit her lip so hard, as a knight, she couldn't sit back and watch such a senseless torture appear in front of her.
"Already...... It's late. Shen He shook his head gently.
He could clearly perceive that the children in front of him were already walking corpses, monsters in the shell of children.
And their painful appearances, their voices of pleading, were only manipulated by Gil, to make Joan of Arc, a holy woman, feel the cruelty of God, and feel the pain of powerlessness.
Butβ
Joan of Arc, who watched all this, did not have the slightest waver, sympathy, or pity on his face.
"βhas it reached the point where it is impossible to move forward without defeating you? Jill. β
Joan of Arc, who muttered alone, had a look like a blade, a will like steel, and a determination that she, as a believer in the Lord, wore armor and brought weapons, and ran to the battlefield with bloody hands.
