At present, the capital of France is not Paris, but the city of Orleans, located in the Loire Valley.

According to the timeline, the royal city was once occupied by British troops two years ago, which is known as the "Siege of Orleans" in history.

And the key figure in the liberation of the royal city is the 17-year-old girl Joan of Arc.

However, Joan of Arc liberated the city, saved a group of princes and nobles, and was eventually captured by the Burgundians for her own sake.

At this point in time, the European custom of captives was to ransom them as long as the captives could pay a ransom, but this was almost a written practice, but in Joan of Arc reversed.

On the one hand, it was the Burgundians who did not want to do this; On the other hand, the ruling class, led by Charles VII, had no intention of coming to the rescue.

England was unwilling to let go of this young girl who had repeatedly defeated them on the battlefield and brought shame on the British army; The French aristocracy was reluctant to save the girl who repeatedly showed their incompetence and broke the class barriers; The church members did not want this village girl who claimed to be able to hear the 'revelation of God' and shook the foundation of her religious beliefs to continue to live.

Thus, a trial led by Bishop Pierre Cochon on the political and religious appeal of Joan of Arc of heresy began.

And the result is self-evident, because the ending has already been written before the trial begins.

The fire in the market square in Rouen burned the girl alive, and it also completely put her on the altar and became a saint to save the country, and even a saint of Catholicism.

It's a pity that no one would have thought that history can be like building blocks, pushed by people casually, and then rebuilt.

Like the stigma that was smeared on Joan of Arc during the trial, the true witch was born.

Everyone, from the French royal family led by King Charles VII, to the French aristocracy led by the two dukes Philippe and Bedford, to the church members of Bishop Pierre Cochon, and finally the French army and people, everyone became the target of Black Virgin's revenge.

Today, the beautiful and rich city of Orleans has been completely reduced to a lair of dragons and sea devils.

The vast majority of urban areas and buildings have been completely reduced to ruins; In the once prosperous royal city, there is no longer half a living person; High in the sky and above the castle are countless wyverns, and the city is filled with sea demons, devouring mountains of corpses.

The hell that is heavily propagandized in those religious scriptures is probably nothing more than that.

In the night, Heizhen rode a flying dragon, jumped directly from a height of nearly 100 meters above the ground, landed in the courtyard of the palace on the banks of the Loire, and walked into the main hall angrily.

In the main hall, from the damp and cold shadows, a tall figure walked out and greeted him directly.

When he was in the candlelight, he realized that it was not the man's body that was tall, but the ancient and mysterious wizard's robe he was wearing, the pitch-black texture was dotted with blood-like crimson patterns, and the clothes were also decorated with a large number of luxurious precious metal jewelry, and in his hand he was holding a magic book bound in human skin, which looked extremely strange.

The face was cold and gray, like a corrupt corpse who had just crawled out of a coffin in a cemetery, and there were also a pair of huge eyeballs, and the eyeballs were exotropic in the opposite direction of the cross-eyed, which made people easily think of nocturnal animals, as if they were 'people' who came out of Munch's paintings.

This man is none other than Gilred.

The leather book in his hand is the treasure he holds [Luoyan City Textbook], which records the forbidden knowledge of the primeval evil gods before the birth of humans, and is said to be about the method of summoning evil gods from another world.

This magic book is a juxtaposition with the Necronomicon in the Cthulhu Mythos, written in the language of Laleyer, and used by primeval priests and magicians.

The Dermal Magic Book in Gildere's possession is an Italian translation of the magician François Pleratti, and after becoming his Noble Phantasm, he has the ability to act as a magic hearth, and can even ignore the magician's own magic level and launch a magic spell at the level of a grand magic or ritual spell on his own.

This is also the key reason why Gilred himself does not have outstanding magical talents, and can also summon and serve the deep sea monsters, and now the sea monsters that are wandering in Orleans City are all his handiwork.

"What's the matter, Joan of Arc, why are you so angry? Didn't the trip go well? ”

Heizhen's mood could not be concealed at all, all of them were clearly exposed to her eyes and expressions, and Guilred naturally knew this at a glance.

"Damn, so damn! That guy actually betrayed me and chose to side with another me, which is really unforgivable! ”

Heizhen took the words and began to vent the resentment in her heart.

Hearing this, Gilred was not angry, but comforted with a smile: "Yes, you are talking about the guy named Qi Fei." Isn't it more indicative that human beings are hypocritical and fickle creatures? So Joan of Arc, your act of vengeance is just, and humanity is so hopeless. ”

Heizhen nodded and continued to ask, "Jill, do you really think that I am doing the right thing?" ”

"Of course, if it was me before, I would definitely stop you! However, now you are a perfect being, and everything you do is a righteous choice, so please abuse them to your heart's content! Without even thinking about it, Guilred danced and said righteously.

Hearing this, Hei Zhen lowered her head, remembered the other side of herself, and immediately fell silent, and after a while, she suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Jill, do you think that I or 'her', who is the real one?" ”

"Of course it's you, Joan of Arc. You were burned at the stake, and the people betrayed your relatives, and Charles VII was reluctant to pay the reparation, and you who saved the country would not be saved; Those servants who claim to be God, but you who can be revealed are judged as witches; None of the troops who followed us dared to stand up and save you. What are the reasons for such unfair treatment? That's—"

"God."

Gilred said in an almost blasphemous tone, "This must be God's mockery of us, and therefore we should deny God, isn't it?" Joan of Arc? ”

"......" under the infection of Gilred, the confusion in the black chastity's eyes disappeared in a blink of an eye, and then said with a gloomy face: "That's right, Jill, as you said, I have nothing." The soldiers who believed in me left me, the people who longed for me to spurn me as a witch, the royal nobles sat idly by and watched me die, and the priests executed me in the name of God. So—"

"It was me who was wrong, Joan of Arc was wrong, and this mistake must be corrected......"

Without waiting for Heizhen to finish his conclusion, Gilred on the side said hysterically: "No, it's not you who are wrong, it's this country, it's this world!" It is precisely because of this that we will hold high the banner of the demon dragon of revenge and challenge those who have betrayed us and the gods who have betrayed us. ”

“…… Oh, yes! Jill's words are a bit extreme, but this time it reassures me. ”

Hei Zhen took a deep breath, and an evil smile once again overflowed on her originally delicate pretty face, and she arranged to Jill and said:

"Then the next step is to fight those stumbling blocks, that guy has taken refuge in Joan of Arc, and their strength should not be underestimated! The evil dragon Fafnir is dead, and so are the Servants who were originally summoned, and we must summon new Servants immediately, otherwise it will be difficult for us to defeat them alone. ”

"Follow your leads."

Gilred bowed and laughed.
