After successfully "moving" Joan of Arc, Chu Xuan did not ask her for the meal money just now, and during the Holy Grail War, he would also provide Joan of Arc with expensive and delicious exquisite food and a comfortable residence that was both gorgeous and elegant that she had never enjoyed.

- Even Reticia, a citizen of a developed country living in modern times, definitely does not have the economic strength to enjoy this.

Although it was foreseeable that Joan of Arc would definitely reject this luxurious life, Chu Xuan would definitely have countless reasons to persuade her to accept the "test of the Lord", and strive to achieve the goal of "wine and meat through the intestines, and the Buddha will stay in his heart; Ten thousand flowers have passed, and the leaves do not stick to the "saint" realm.

So, Chu Xuan and his party, who had just eaten a big meal not long ago, had lunch in this Western restaurant again, and then left in a chic manner under the respectful gaze of the waiters.

"Huh~ Chu Xuan, what are we going to do next?"

After walking out of the door of the western restaurant, Joan of Arc, who was holding his stomach, let out a breath, and then turned his head to Chu Xuan very naturally and asked.

By this time, she had completely integrated into Chu Xuan's three-person team, because there was Artoria, who was like-minded with "her", and Alice Phil, who was close to "Leticia", there was no reason why they couldn't be good friends.

"Let's go kill the lancer first."

Chu Xuan pushed down her reflective glasses expressionlessly, and then took the lead in the slowly stopped car, Joan of Arc's face changed, but after Alice Fell and Artoria got into the car one after another, she still kept her promise and sat in with everyone.

However, Joan of Arc had already made up her mind in her heart that she would definitely not provide any form of help to Chu Xuan, but if Alice Fell ......

"By the way, one more thing to tell you, it's Ellie who is responsible for providing Artoria with her magic, so she is also a related person in the Holy Grail War, and for the sake of your duty, you should not take action even if she is facing a life-or-death situation.

As I said a long time ago, you just have to act with us and don't need to help us in any way. ”

Probably guessing the thoughts of Joan of Arc sitting in the passenger seat, Chu Xuan, who was sitting in the back seat with his wife and servant, reminded her in time.

"What? Why would you want to involve your own wife? ”

Joan of Arc, who had become friends with Alice Field, a gentle and lively, innocent and simple kind young woman in a short period of time, couldn't help but ask Chu Xuan after hearing the news.

It's not because Joan of Arc has any opinion of Chu Xuan, but it is precisely because even Joan of Arc can see that this man with no glasses should have a lot of affection for his wife, so he is even more surprised.

"It was my wife, to be exact, who drew me into the Holy Grail War."

Chu Xuan corrected Joan of Arc's words seriously, but it sounded as if he was shirking his responsibility.

"Don't worry about me, Joan of Arc, this is the fate of the daughter of the Einzbelen family."

Alice Phil gently comforted the somewhat agitated Joan of Arc, and she still maintained a calm smile on her face, as if she was not worried about her own safety at all, which made Joan of Arc feel a little abnormal.

"Speaking of which...... You seem to have said something before...... Inexplicably, it seems that Ellie can't survive this Holy Grail War or something. ”

Maybe it was because there was an extra "ally", or maybe it was because of the "kindness" that Chu Xuan showed when he asked Joan of Arc to let go of Jack the Ripper for the time being, Artoria took the opportunity to finally ask the question that had been bothering her since the day before yesterday.

“……”

“……”

Artoria's question made Chu Xuan and Alice Phil both silent, and the android maid in charge of driving the car kept staring ahead without squinting, like a robot, and this silence made Artoria and Joan of Arc, who had A-level "intuition" and the same "revelation" skill, have a sense of foreboding.

"In fact, Ellie is an artificial human cultivated by the Einzberen family for the Holy Grail War, and a tool created as a Holy Grail carrier.

The magic of the destroyed servant will automatically be absorbed into her body, and after eliminating four or five servants, Ellie will completely lose her function as a human, and the Holy Grail can actually be summoned.

When the magic of the sixth servant is also absorbed, Ellie's body will automatically crumble and disintegrate, leaving only the Holy Grail that was conceived from her body. ”

Chu Xuan answered Artoria's question in a steady and uninhibited voice as always, while Alice Fell showed them a slightly troubled smile, as if to say, "Oops, I didn't want you to know so early."

The young woman, as pure as a snowflake, was so calm about her short life, that both Artoria and Joan of Arc began to ache in their hearts.

And Artoria immediately understood why she showed an unusually lonely look when she left her three children.

"But why did the Einzberen family do this?"

"Because there was an accident in the last Holy Grail War where the Holy Grail was broken, it was changed to this 'design'.

Einzberen family ......"

Chu Xuan unabashedly told Artoria and Joan of Arc all the information he "should" know about the "Three Imperial Families", so that they thoroughly understood the status of himself and Alice Fell in the Einzberen family and the reason for participating in the Holy Grail War, and these two "righteous partners" were really indignant after hearing this.

"Phew! It was, it was! This Holy Grail ......"

Artoria, who had learned from Chu Xuan about the blood and sins stained on the Holy Grail she was pursuing, showed a very complicated expression and slammed her knee hard, even shaking the entire car.

And after learning the darkness and cruelty hidden behind the Holy Grail War that she was going to defend, Joan of Arc's face also turned pale, and unconsciously put her hands crossed in front of her chest, as if she wanted to pray to the Lord or repent.

"For the Einzberen family...... For the 'Three Families', we are all just tools - not only me and Ellie, but all the servants, all the masters involved in the Holy Grail War, and even all the people associated with the 'Three Families' are also tools for them to reach the 'roots'.

However, the Holy Grail War cannot be said to be a scam, and both the servant and the master who chase the Holy Grail can fulfill their wishes after victory, but if the victorious master is someone from the 'Three Kingdoms', he will choose to reach the 'root', which has been the long-standing sad wish of countless magicians.

For Servant and the Masters outside of the 'Royal Three', the Holy Grail War is actually quite fair. ”

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and said very lightly, but his rather cold words seemed to add fuel to the fire, which made the unspeakable anger in Artoria's heart burn even more.

"What fair! It's not fair to Ellie, to you, to your children!

That's right...... If you don't get what the Einzberen family wants, the three children who will be left behind in the city of Einzberen ......"

Artoria, who couldn't help but roar in a low voice, suddenly connected some of the strange things that Alice Fell and Chu Xuan had said before when she thought of the lovely Illyasfil, Sakura, and Kalian.

"Yes, if I wasn't as a tool as I was supposed to be, then I was rightfully abandoned.

Me and Ellie's children...... Probably never again. ”

Speaking of which, even Chu Xuan, who had always looked like a robot, simply not, had no human emotions, couldn't help but turn his head and look at the west where his three daughters were.

Although Alice Phil didn't say anything, Joan of Arc saw it, and when she gently leaned her head on Chu Xuan's shoulder, two crystal tears quietly dripped from her eyes.

(Lord, why did you put these two men to such a cruel test!) ）

Joan of Arc lowered her eyes and sighed faintly in her heart, but she, who had become a servant, could no longer hear the voice of the Lord—even the Lord's sigh.

"Artoria, what you think of as 'fairness' is nothing more than a beautiful fantasy that humanity itself expects.

In fact, the world has always been fair, and powerful people can rely on their own strength to carry out their will, and this is the greatest fairness for the world.

The world will not take more care of us because we are weak, nor will it suppress us because we are strong, so all things, including human beings, will continue to evolve. ”

Chu Xuan didn't seem to be able to understand the grief and indignation in Artoria and Joan of Arc's hearts, and very calmly pointed out their mistakes in thinking.

Although Artoria and Joan of Arc both admitted that Chu Xuan's words were still so correct, at this moment, they began to hate this kind of correctness.

- Is this world so correct, but so cruel, really the world that they want to protect after a bloody battle?

"I believe in Chu Xuan, I believe that my husband will succeed in obtaining the Holy Grail and taking our daughters out of the city of Einzberen, and I also believe that he will have a way to resurrect me again - because he promised me personally."

Just as Artoria and Joan of Arc even began to doubt their past persistence, Alice Fell raised her head again, and smiled at them both with a pure smile full of hope, and the light of hope spread to their hearts.

But he alone is not the case.

So, please help him, help us, help our children, please! (To be continued.) )
