35 Listen to Chu Xuan's words obediently
"Ahem...... I was so out of shape just now, Retitia is very bad at dealing with male surnames, sorry. β
I don't know how long it took, but Joan of Arc regained that calm expression and said in a straight seat.
"You don't need to apologize, it's all Chu Xuan's fault."
Diagonally across from Joan of Arc, the petrified Artoria had also returned to normal, but in addition to the majesty that emanated from her, there was also a deep resentment.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told the truth."
Chu Xuan expressionlessly pushed down the flat glasses that had been crooked and cracked on the lenses, and honestly apologized to Joan of Arc and Artoria.
Artoria's forehead was bruised again, and she took a few deep breaths to suppress the nameless anger in her heart, and said to Chu Xuan with a straight face:
"I hope the Master doesn't think of us as women, there are no men and women on the battlefield, there are just warriors - I guess Joan of Arc must think so, right?"
"Ah...... Yes, I always wanted soldiers and officers to ...... And the nobles were able to ignore my surname and treat me as an ordinary commander. β
Joan of Arc nodded sympathetically, and the mere words brought her and Artoria much closer.
They are all concerned about the safety of the country, they are all distressed about their female identity, they all lead the army to create a series of extraordinary victories, and they all suffer a tragic end in the end......
With so many similarities, it's no wonder that the two of them have the same temperament, and in comparison, the two of them are the least similar in appearance - especially the breasts.
"Smack!"
Artoria pinched off the ear of the teacup, but fortunately, her teacup had not left the table, and the steaming black tea inside had not spilled.
"I don't know why, I suddenly felt very hot just now, I'm sorry."
Artoria apologized to everyone coldly, and at the same time, a few slender fingers rubbed the incomparably hard porcelain cup ears into a delicate white powder.
Chu Xuan summoned the waiter and replaced the expressionless Artoria with a new teacup, and then turned his gaze back to Joan of Arc, and said to her in a serious tone:
"Whether you're really Joan of Arc or not we can't verify it yet, and it doesn't matter.
The question now is, the ability to 'see' through the real name of the servant is not enough to prove your identity, can you still come up with stronger and more conclusive proof? β
It seemed that Chu Xuan had made up his mind, no matter what kind of proof Joan of Arc gave, he would deny her identity as a ruler and eliminate her as a servant sent by some master who tried to deceive them.
However, if Joan of Arc is eliminated, he will not have to look for the hidden caster, as long as he kills the Rider, Lancer, and Berserker who have already been located, the number of servants absorbed by the Holy Grail will reach the "standard value" - six, which is enough to summon a full Holy Grail.
Joan of Arc ...... I really delivered it myself.
"So...... What about this? β
At this moment, Joan of Arc stroked the long sleeve of her coat that completely covered the back of her hand, revealing the back of her right hand.
"It's ...... So many spells?! β
Artoria and Alice Phil were both taken aback, for on Joan of Arc, who called herself Ruler, there were more than a dozen spells on her right arm, and the dense patterns stretched from the back of her hand to her elbow.
"As a Ruler, I have the privilege of giving orders twice to each servant.
-- Of course, I have made it to myself that I will not use this privilege unless it is absolutely necessary.
After all, I am the defender of the Holy Grail War, and I cannot interfere in the course of the Holy Grail War at will. β
Joan of Arc in "this world" really has this kind of privilege against the sky, and now Chu Xuan's plan has to go bankrupt, even if Artoria and Alice Phil believe Chu Xuan's rhetoric, as long as Joan of Arc orders Artoria not to attack her, Artoria will be completely powerless.
"As far as I know, the priest of the Templar Church in Winterwood City, who is also the 'overseer' of the Holy Grail War, also has many spells on his arm."
Chu Xuan was still unmoved, struggling in vain, Joan of Arc just smiled slightly, and asked in a calm tone:
"Do you want me to actually demonstrate it?"
"There's no need for that, as the ruler of order, you don't need to prove anything to us, and it doesn't matter to you whether we believe in your identity or not."
Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly and gave an answer that was unexpected by Joan of Arc.
Joan of Arc paused for a moment, and then reacted, she really didn't need to prove her identity to Chu Xuan and the others, it seemed that she was not very suitable for her identity when she exercised her power for the first time.
"Hmm...... That's right...... That's true......"
Joan of Arc pondered for a while, then nodded, and said to Chu Xuan with a serious expression:
"In that case, then I will take my leave.
I'm also going to keep track of Avenger so that she doesn't interfere with the normal course of the Holy Grail War. β
"Wait!"
Just as Joan of Arc was about to get up and leave, Chu Xuan stopped her in an indifferent and ruthless tone.
"The total amount of the meal just now is 186,300 yuan, and you can also pay in euros."
Chu Xuan raised the long bill in his hand without grace, and a cold sweat immediately broke out on Joan of Arc's forehead.
"W-what, do you want me to pay?"
Joan of Arc had an expression of disbelief on her face, as did Artoria and Alice Phil, neither of them expecting such an ungentlemanly man in this world to exist - and that the man with facial palsy glasses was not short of money at all.
"Chu Xuan ......"
Alice Phil originally wanted to persuade her husband, but Chu Xuan immediately made a gesture forbidding speech, and then stared at Joan of Arc with reflective glasses, waiting for her to pay.
"But I wasn't the only one eating just now......
Joan of Arc lowered her head and blushed and said something to shirk.
With Chu Xuan and the others saving her "kindness" alone, even if she was invited to this meal, it was a matter of course - the idea of foreigners is that kindness should be rewarded, but Joan of Arc really has no money, and she herself doesn't even know where the next meal is, and where can she pay a huge sum of nearly 200,000 yuan.
"Don't worry, this part of the amount is eaten by yourself, and the total bill is 332,100 yuan, and my calculation will not be wrong."
Chu Xuan replied with great certainty, and at the same time handed the bill in his hand to Joan of Arc and asked her to confirm it herself.
But how dare Joan of Arc take the bill, she put her hands behind her back like a schoolboy who made a mistake, with tears in her eyes, and pleaded with Chu Xuan in a tone as if she was about to cry:
"Yes, I'm sorry, I don't have any money on me, I, I'll definitely try to pay you back in the future, can I owe it first?"
"No, you'll disappear after the Holy Grail War is over, so who else can I ask to pay back?"
Chu Xuan was very unkind to refuse the girl's plea, but his words were not wrong, even if Joan of Arc would still appear in the next Holy Grail War, it was not certain whether Chu Xuan would be alive in sixty years, magician was a rather dangerous profession.
"JustγEven if I disappear, Letitia will definitely replace it for me......"
Joan of Arc blushed and replied with a lack of energy, and Chu Xuan's sharp words immediately followed:
"You eat the food, so why should Letitia pay for you?
And Letitia paid you back, so how do you go about paying back Letitia's money? β
"Lei, Letitia said she didn't need me ...... back"
Joan of Arc's figure seemed to shrink smaller and smaller under Chu Xuan's questioning, and the momentum on his body was completely suppressed by Chu Xuan, this is the so-called "eating people with a short mouth and taking people softly".
"Do you think that as long as Laetitia doesn't need you to pay it back, you can pat your ass and walk away with peace of mind?"
Seeing that Joan of Arc had already put on her own heavy moral shackles, Chu Xuan said lightly again, adding the last straw that bent the camel's camel to her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Please don't make me pay! β
Finally, Joan of Arc buried her head deeply and made a completely unreasonable and excessive request to Chu Xuan.
After being rescued by others, she had to eat and drink for nothing, and even people chased after her to ask for the account and did not pay it back, such a humiliating thing was the first time for Joan of Arc, and the real owner of this body, Retitia, had already fainted in shame.
"I have no reason to pay for you for nothing."
Chu Xuan said ruthlessly, and at the same time made a gesture to stop Artoria, who couldn't help but want to intercede for Joan of Arc.
"But...... If you are willing to follow my 'request', not only will I not need you to pay back, but I will also be responsible for providing you with shelter and food, and I will also help you maintain order in the Holy Grail War." β
At this point, Chu Xuan finally showed his true purpose.
It's just that...... Perhaps it was an illusion, Artoria and the diners sitting in the nearby seats all cast disdainful glances at Chu Xuan, as if they were looking at a lascivious uncle who used banknotes to lure girls into helping to socialize.
However, the vast majority of girls who will be lured by banknotes have their own problems, and a few of them spend the money they get in exchange for chastity on "serious things"! Why does the uncle who spends money have to bear the blame of the society, hey!
- However, to Chu Xuan's relief, at least Alice Phil still believes in him, and she really deserves to be his good wife!
"That's right~ As long as you listen to Chu Xuan obediently, you don't have to pay back the money~"
Alice Fell helped Chu Xuan persuade Joan of Arc in an unprecedentedly gentle tone, but for some reason, her ruby-like eyes completely lost their luster. (To be continued.) )
