Chapter 436: The Guidance of Freedom
After Zhao Gao received dozens of boxes of leather goods of various qualities, he really only made one request to Charles VII, that is, to see Joan of Arc.
This request can be described as inexplicable.
Joan of Arc disappeared without a trace after the victory over the British, and her rule power was severely damaged, one of which even affected the foundation of her enlightenment, how could she easily appear at this time?
Speaking of which, if there is one person in this world who can find her, it can only be Charles VII.
In real history, Charles VII, as a very accomplished king, was ultimately despised by others, mainly because he betrayed two people who had helped him immensely. One of them was his best friend who was finally forced to die, Jacques Ker, who kept the kingdom's economy from collapsing even in the most difficult times; The other is to help him ascend to the throne and help him win several key battles in the Hundred Years' War, but in the end it was Joan of Arc that was not rescued by him.
With these two things, even if Charles VII later won the Hundred Years' War, recovered most of France's territory and laid the foundation for the next few hundred years of power, the French still did not want to see him. He was given the title "Charlie the Victor", and it is unknown how much irony there was in it.
As for why Charles VII was able to find Joan of Arc, the reason is actually very simple - Joan of Arc's Dowki is to save the whole of France, and her existence is for the rebirth of France, so in this process, the king of France, as a representative of the nation, has a natural connection with her in the "Tao".
Knowing Zhao Gao's purpose, Charles VII pointed out Joan of Arc's current hermitage without any consideration, which was exactly the same as Zhao Gao's predicted character.
The city of Paris, in the final analysis, is nothing more than a stepping stone to the search for Joan of Arc.
With Charlie's spiritual imprint and almost no effort, Zhao Gao found Joan of Arc's retreat.
This is an extremely ordinary town in the south of France, so ordinary that both the warring parties, whether the French army or the British army, have the slightest interest in this town, and the only person in the entire town who has a rank judgment is only an extremely old mayor, and his rank is only - the big elite!
The town is not large, and at the top of the town, there is a small church, hidden in a dense field of holly.
There was only one missionary in the church, and he was an ordinary white name who could barely speak in old age. There is hardly any furnishings in the church, and it is not even accepted by the faithful, but fortunately the people here are simple and outsiders are not forbidden to watch them worship.
To the east of the building is the central altar of the church, with an icon of Jesus on it and a table below it to commemorate the Last Supper shared by Jesus and his disciples.
In the middle of the building is a small pulpit that serves as a sermon. However, judging from the dust on the back seats, the last sermon may not have been less than half a year.
As for the holy water basin and baptism basin, Zhao Gao naturally didn't pay too much attention to it. Following the Passion Road on the western fresco of the church, Jesus is carrying the cross step by step until he reaches the end of the church. On the other side of the path, there is an extremely rare icon of St. Galene the Great Martyr.
The guidance that the spirit seal of Charles VII can give is only here, in terms of the level of rules, it is impossible to perceive the rules of Joan of Arc legend with his epic strength, and now he only relies on the special identity of the king of France.
"There's clearly nothing here!"
Zhao Fujin couldn't hold his breath first, their time was limited, and it was impossible for the will of the world to allow them to stay in this plot world indefinitely, and even did things like digging corners, and would not hesitate to kick them back to the land of the gods if they had the chance.
"Yes." Zhao Gao shook his head and said, "If you look closely, you will find that the statue of St. Galanuna is cleaner than other places, you must know that even the tables and chairs of the sermon have not been wiped for half a year, but there is no dust here, which means that people often come to clean here." ”
As he spoke, Zhao Gao gently wiped the ground under the holy statue with his fingers, and sure enough, there was no dust on it, and even this position was wiped so cleanly, obviously the person was very attentive.
"You mean it's Joan of Arc?" Zhao Fujin frowned, a little dismissive of Zhao Gao's conclusion, it seemed to her that it was too arbitrary to make such a judgment when there was so little information known.
"As far as I can tell, it's her." Zhao Gao chose a place to sit down before he said, "Joan of Arc has repeatedly publicly stated that she has been inspired by St. Galana, and the reason why she chose this place to live in seclusion is probably because although it is small, it is the reason why the icon of St. Galenna is enshrined. ”
He was confident that since it was so clean, it meant that Joan of Arc would definitely come back a lot.
"Then why doesn't she become a nun here?" Zhao Fujin asked unwillingly, this is purely nothing to do, anyway, this is also one of her habits.
"Because of virginity." Zhao Gao gave the answer without hesitation, "Although St. Galena is only one of the fourteen saints who saved the martyrs, she is the most important virgin martyr among them. And as far as we know, in this plot world, Joan of Arc is probably ......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Gao suddenly found that no matter how he moved his tongue and mouth, he couldn't make the slightest sound, and he no longer struggled, and stood solemnly on the side of the holy elephant with his hands down.
A girl dressed as the most ordinary village woman in France walked in with her head down, and Zhao Gao and the three suddenly found that their bodies were tight, as if they were restrained, they couldn't move up and down, and they watched this girl clean up so seriously.
Zhao Gao tried to summon the slave Gresia, but the latter refused to come out anyway. But think about it, she with a witch inheritance appeared in front of Joan of Arc, how quickly she died, how clean she died.
In fact, it is useless to call it out. Joan of Arc didn't use any skills at all, she just took some of the rules around the three of them. Unless they can go to the point of changing the rules, even if they want to return to the land of the gods, there is no way for the three of them to do it.
"The hero who saved France." After Joan of Arc cleaned up one by one and finished the service reverently, he whispered to Zhao Gao. Her voice was completely different from the sonorous and powerful on the battlefield, and it seemed deep and gentle.
As soon as Zhao Gao's body was loosened, the rules had been dispelled by Joan of Arc. The ability of a legendary historical figure is no longer what he can look up to at this stage, and he never had any intention of doing it anyway, he just shook his head and said in a low voice: "I can't save France, only you can save France." ”
"You should know that under the plans of your outsiders, my banner has been shattered with my body, and I can no longer save France." Joan of Arc's voice was neither happy nor sad, but from her semantics, it was already clear that Zhao Gao and others were classified as outsiders, and they were already higher than all other plot characters in terms of cognitive rules.
"There is not only one way to save France." Zhao Gao shook his head again, took out the golden plot equipment "Holy Trinity Flag" from his personal space, and held it in his hand.
This finally caught Joan of Arc's attention. Her rule was to save France, and the most important way was to defeat England. The significance of this "Holy Trinity Banner" is extremely profound, and it was under this banner that Henry V defeated France at Alkouin, and then conquered almost all of France.
"A flag doesn't mean anything, because you still have a sword in your hand!" Zhao Gao did not hesitate to hand over the "Holy Trinity Flag". In the face of this strong repulsion of rules, Joan of Arc almost subconsciously pulled out his sword and stabbed it on this flag, and the touch of the power of the rules immediately produced a huge amount of energy, attracting the eyes of the will of the world, and Joan of Arc shook his right hand lightly, and the explosion disappeared invisibly.
The quasi-golden plot equipment "Holy Trinity Banner" was destroyed in an instant, and the level was directly lowered from the golden plot (remnant) to blue, which should be the reason why the rule power contained in it completely disappeared, and only the material remained.
"That's right, I still have the force given to me by the angel St. Michael, and I can also save France." Joan of Arc's other rule power was stimulated, and the power that had been balanced by the left sword and the right banner was broken, and if anyone could look at it from the point of view of the rules, it was that the rules on the sword she held in her right hand began to condense in large quantities, gradually occupying her entire Daoji.
It's just that the price of this kind of stimulation is a bit large, and a quasi-golden plot equipment with special significance just disappears.
"Here's for you." Joan of Arc, who was rejuvenated, simply pulled up the young woman's hair, and at the same time threw a flag in her hand at Zhao Gao, and then walked out of the church without looking back.
"You've acquired Joan of Arc's legendary equipment: Freedom Guidance (Remnant)."
PS: Well, most of the historical sources are true.
