"Woo——"

Albion roared, seemingly still a little unaccustomed to the sudden dizziness. Wang Chong said to Albion, "Stay here for now. I'll come out that door to pick you up later."

Albion nodded and sat down obediently on the grass.

"Here, these are the pieces of monster meat I collected earlier. I'm going to be gone for a while, so if you're bored, you can take these as a snack."

As if worried, Wang Chong threw out some more pieces of meat filled with aether, piling them up into a small hill in front of Albion. Albion stared blankly at the hill, taller than himself, and remained speechless for a moment.

Wang Chong felt relieved when he saw that Albion did not make a noise, and then he stepped into the gate of the FGO world line.

After watching Wang Chong leave, Albion's obedient demeanor changed slightly. She picked up a piece of bone-in meat and sighed, "Really? Does father really treat me like a puppy?"

"It must be that woman who says bad things about me to father behind my back every day! She has caused father to have too many misunderstandings about me!" Albion was secretly annoyed, then he took another look at the flesh and bone on his palm, and then exhaled a dragon's breath.

"At least it's cooked... I'm not some barbaric dragon that eats raw meat and drinks blood."

Chapter 12: Re-entering Orleans

"Good morning, Ritsuka. How was your sleep last night? I heard from Mashu that you played with the kids until very late. Oh... Lord Wang Chong is here too. Did you get enough sleep?"

After Wang Chong returned to Chaldea, he found that it was time for the morning meeting to begin, so he walked slowly to the meeting room.

As soon as I entered the conference room, I heard Dr. Roman, as cheerful as ever, greeting everyone who had arrived.

Wang Chong sometimes felt that Dr. Roman’s gentle personality and daily caring words were an important factor in supporting Master Guda to persevere.

Although there is not much passion, it quietly affects the protagonist, Guda, the player.

It’s no wonder that after version 1.0 ended, Wang Chong always felt that something was missing, so he stopped watching the plot and quietly quit the game.

"Um... Mr. Wang Chong, I'm a little embarrassed that you're staring at me like that. Haha? Is there something on my face?"

Dr. Roman couldn't help but scratch his head and asked awkwardly.

"Nothing, I just think that it's very important for Dr. Roman to always maintain such a cheerful attitude." Wang Chong shrugged and then spoke.

"Really? I didn't think there was anything wrong... Maybe it's just nature?"

Dr. Roman scratched his head in confusion, then coughed lightly and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's discuss the next combat meeting."

"First, let me think about this... Tomorrow we will officially enter the first singularity. Let me explain again what I want you to do."

"The first is the investigation and correction of singularities, which were decisive turning points for humanity in that era. Without those turning points..."

Dr. Roman briefly reiterated the content about singularities and informed Ritsuka and Mashu of the importance of correcting historical turning points.

"Then the second thing is the investigation into the Holy Grail. Although it's just speculation, the occurrence of singularities seems to be related to the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail is a magical device used to grant wishes. It possesses enormous magical power..."

"I'm afraid Leif somehow obtained the Holy Grail and used it to commit evil. Or let's put it this way, without the Holy Grail, it would be impossible to travel through time and space or change history."

"Therefore, in the process of investigating the singularity, we will definitely find information related to the Holy Grail. Because even if we correct history, if the Holy Grail still remains in that era, it will be equivalent to wasting all our efforts."

"So, you must either obtain the Holy Grail or destroy it. These two points are the main tasks of future singularity operations... Do you understand?"

After listening to Dr. Roman's story, Lixiang nodded and said that he understood.

Afterwards, Dr. Roman explained to Ritsuka how to find spiritual veins and create summoning circles after traveling to the past, so that he could transmit supplies and summon servants to assist in combat at any time.

Mashu also gave a concise summary of what Dr. Roman said, which drew praise from Dr. Roman.

"Hey! That complacent fellow, how long do you want me to wait?"

At this time, Da Vinci interrupted Dr. Roman's praise, obviously it was her turn to tell the story.

"In the upcoming battle, I will be primarily responsible for logistics such as the provision of support materials, development, and renewal of contracts with Heroic Spirits."

Da Vinci explained, "Because I'm a Servant summoned by Chaldea, I can't travel through time and space like Mashu can. But if I sign a formal contract with you, Ritsuka, it will be a different matter."

"Then, I will be able to become your strength as a Servant. I look forward to such a fate, Master."

After hearing Da Vinci's explanation, Ritsuka just laughed and didn't immediately respond to the sentence.

"You're such a fool...Okay, let's get back to the real topic. Since we're officially entering the singularity tomorrow, Ritsuka, you still have some time to adjust yourself and be fully prepared."

After Dr. Roman finished speaking, he finally turned his gaze in Wang Chong's direction. "Besides that, after discussing with His Excellency Wang Chong last night, he decided to go a day early as a pioneer to investigate the situation at the first singularity."

"Eh? Mr. Wang Chong is going to go first?" Mashu asked in surprise.

"Well, because my method of time travel is somewhat special, I only need to know the specific time and space coordinates to travel directly." Wang Chong nodded.

"It's really amazing that they can travel through time at will... If Mr. Wang Chong travels through time, then can we find Mr. Wang Chong and get information?" Lixiang couldn't help but ask.

"Well, after entering the singularity, Lord Wang Chong will leave some backup plans and clues to help you, Lixiang. I'll leave the details to Lord Wang Chong to explain." Dr. Roman said.

"When you see these symbols, they'll be the messages I've left behind. Each symbol represents a different meaning: directions, danger warnings, and places with unexpected rewards..."

Wang Chong sketched out symbol after symbol, and Lixiang quickly took notes, recording all of them.

"That's basically all I have to say. Although we may be traveling through the same singularity, the time and location may be different. This information I leave behind will help you overcome your difficulties."

After saying this, Wang Chong also stood up from his chair.

"Are you ready to leave now?" Dr. Roman asked, as if he had figured out the purpose of Wang Chong's getting up.

"Well, if we go earlier, we can resolve some dangers earlier. Anyway, if we really encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved, I will come back in time to inform you."

After Wang Chong finished speaking, he took a step forward and disappeared in front of everyone.

"He... just passed through like this?" For a moment, Mashu's eyes were full of disbelief.

"What an impetuous man he is. Aren't all his servants still in Chaldea? Or have they been taken with them?" Dr. Roman asked quickly, as if he had realized something.

"They are all still in Chaldea and didn't go with us...some of them are even taking care of their children." Da Vinci turned on his spiritual monitor to check the public area, and then couldn't help but say.

"Huh...? Although I don't want to say this, why do I feel that he is too leisurely?" Dr. Roman couldn't help but sigh.

……

Regardless of what the Chaldeans thought, Wang Chong took a step forward and returned to the first singularity: the space-time of Orleans.

"I don't know how long it has been since I last left here."

Wang Chong looked at the clear sky. Because of the large halo above his head, he couldn't tell whether it was morning or afternoon by the sun.

"Forget it, let's call Albion out first. That kid won't get impatient waiting."

"Go away! You, you rude monsters! Help! Is there anyone kind enough to help me?"

Just as Wang Chong was about to enter the dimensional house, he suddenly heard a series of cries for help.

Wang Chong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pretty girl running towards him not far away. Behind her, many wyverns were chasing her.

"Ah, handsome guy in front, run faster! Those dragons will eat you if they pounce!"

The girl seemed to notice the unarmed Wang Chong, and quickly shouted a warning.

A strange look appeared on Wang Chong's face. He naturally recognized the true identity of the girl wearing the exaggerated crown at a glance - the servant Marie Antoinette, the queen of the famous beheaded French emperor in history.

Chapter 13 Marie Antoinette

Having just traveled back to Orleans, I didn't expect that this time I would encounter the scene where Queen Mary, who was summoned, was being chased by a wyvern.

However, at this moment, Marie Antoinette looked like a young girl. She was even more ignorant of the world, but she still retained the gentleness and kindness in her character.

It was also because of this that when Marie Antoinette discovered that Wang Chong had no weapons in his hands and was just an ordinary citizen dressed in strange clothes, she reminded him to run away quickly.

However, the naive Marie Antoinette did not consider that if she had not run towards Wang Chong, she might not have brought the trouble behind her to him.

But Wang Chong didn't care about these things. He just clenched his hand and a green sword appeared in his hand.

The hero saving the beauty may be cliché, but it works.

……

"Amazing! You must be a hero from somewhere, right? What's your name? Maybe I've heard of your legendary deeds?"

Because Wang Chong easily and cleanly dealt with the wyvern chasing Marie Antoinette, Marie had a very good impression of him and excitedly asked about his background.

Wang Chong simply looked at Marie Antoinette in surprise and didn't say anything. However, being stared at by Wang Chong, Marie Antoinette seemed to have thought of something and quickly said with a slightly blushing face:

"Ah... Sorry, I was so excited and a little rude. You should take the initiative to tell your name before asking someone else's name."

"My real name is Marie Antoinette, and my class is a cavalryman. I'm not sure why I was summoned to this era, but I have no Master. I was only taught some relevant knowledge and then wandered around my familiar yet strange hometown."

Marie Antoinette placed her hand on her chest and saluted Wang Chong with aristocratic etiquette, then told him her story one by one.

"Then I encountered those flying dragons that were ravaging and destroying the city. To protect the people of my homeland, I stood up... But I seem to have overestimated my strength, and ended up being chased by those endless dragons."

Marie Antoinette's face seemed to turn a little redder as she recalled her recent predicament. However, upon seeing Wang Chong's attractive and handsome face, she felt joyful again and said,

"Luckily, I met you, the hero! You dispatched all those dragons with a single wave of your hand. Wielding such a massive sword, you must be the legendary dragon-slayer, right?"

"Unfortunately, I am not a Servant." However, Wang Chong shook his head, then showed the back of his right hand, revealing the Command Seals he had not yet used up.

"Ah... I see. Are you a Master living in this era?"

Obviously, Marie Antoinette hadn't expected a Master to be even more powerful than a Servant. However, Marie quickly attributed the problem to herself and didn't dwell on it any further, instead continuing to inquire about the current situation.

"Let's talk as we walk. This is not a place to stay for long. There are flying dragons everywhere. We are like targets on the plains." Wang Chong said.

"Okay! Then I'll follow... uh... that... Master..." Mary seemed hesitant, unsure how to address Wang Chong. She could call him Master, but she hadn't signed a contract with him yet.

"Just call me Wang Chong for now. Once you make up your mind, you can call me Master. Miss Mary." Wang Chong said slowly.

"Ding—Mary's favorability towards you is 5 points."

Suddenly, the system notification sounded in Wang Chong's mind, making him startled. Marie Antoinette's face turned even redder when she heard Wang Chong address her, and her voice became a little higher:

"You...what did you call me? Miss Mary?"

"Is it a bit rude? Or is it too rude to call you the Queen Mary in history?" Wang Chong asked doubtfully.

"No! Miss Mary is great! It's a very cute name, I like it very much." Mary seemed to be very happy about a very small thing, and she followed Wang Chong happily.

What an innocent idol queen! Wang Chong couldn't help but remark in his heart. He then led Mary into the jungle.

……

While explaining the current situation to Marie Antoinette on the road, Wang Chong took the opportunity to use the Eye of Sin to take a look at Marie Antoinette's current favorability towards him: 75 points.

The favorability level is quite high, including the 5 points just added and the 10 points generated by the hero saving the beauty.

Of course, the most important thing is the 50 points of initial basic favorability provided by [Hunter 2 Stars] and the 10 points of initial basic favorability brought by the charm bonus of [Heroic A-Level].

Although the summoned one was Marie Antoinette in her teenage years, she was still the queen, so she would naturally be affected by [Hunter 2 Stars].

As long as he tried harder, maybe even if he had to conduct in-depth magic repair with Marie Antoinette, she wouldn't mind.

"No, rather, would Mary really refuse such a thing now?"

Wang Chong could clearly feel the other person's eager gaze. Perhaps even her original husband, Louis XVI, had not impressed this young woman so much.

In fact, historically, due to Louis XVI's weak character and physical defects, Marie remained a virgin for nearly seven years after her marriage. It was not until Louis XVI underwent surgery that she finally became fertile.

People often say the seven-year itch... ahem, that's about it.

However, in that era of gender inequality, even with advanced scientific evidence, people still couldn't help but blame women for not being able to have children after seven years.

Perhaps this is why Queen Mary was so proactive, acting like a social butterfly. Besides her lively personality, she was probably also venting some of her inner loneliness, grievances, and solitude.

After supplementing his historical knowledge with the system, Wang Chong gained a deeper understanding of Marie Antoinette. During casual conversation, Wang Chong would often make humorous yet graceful jokes, making Marie giggle.

The favorability rating naturally increased at a fairly fast pace, and soon reached 79 points.

Wang Chong chose a high ground with gentle slopes where he could keep a clear view of the situation below. He began to build a house and set up camp. Even at this height, the trees in the jungle still blocked the sky's view of the people below.

Combined with the shadows Wang Chong created with the black fog, they were enough to fill in the gaps. Unless someone passed by with intent, they would generally be unaware of their location.

Mary couldn't help but marvel at Wang Chong's quick construction of the cabin. Having a proper cabin was much more comfortable than lying in the wilderness. Even with her Servant's body, Mary still felt a little unaccustomed to sleeping outdoors.

Soon, Mary signed a contract with Wang Chong and became his Servant. This was almost a natural progression.

After all, in Mary's eyes, Wang Chong was not only powerful, but also humorous and witty, and even knew how to care for the feelings of ladies. Who else could be more suitable to be her Master than Wang Chong? Mary thought so.

During her conversation with Wang Chong, Mary understood that his mission was to correct France's distorted history. Since they shared the same stance, why would Mary refuse to become Wang Chong's Servant?

After signing the contract for Mary to become his servant, Wang Chong did not take any further action.

He first asked the system and temporarily found out that the time in this space was almost noon.

He then asked Mary about the location on the map and confirmed that he and Mary were currently in the easternmost forest called Jura.

If I remember correctly, the leyline where this Ancient Forest is located is the location chosen by Chaldea to construct the summoning circle. It is also the closest place to the city of La Sharite, the first raid by Black Jeanne d'Arc.

In the plot, it was the appearance of Queen Marie and Mozart that saved the Chaldean group from leaving.

"So, I've already received Mary, but what about Mozart? Where did he go?"
