"Huh? What's going on with these two... and this dragon?"

When they got closer, Mary saw a man and a woman lying on the pile of earth and a reptile that looked like a turtle, and she asked aloud.

"They are two Servants. One is the Dragon Slayer Siegfried I mentioned to you before. The other is the enemy Servant Saint Martha. That dragon is her mount."

Wang Chong explained.

"Roar……"

At this time, Albion stared at the unconscious Tarasque, and then let out a low dragon roar.

It was this dragon's roar that immediately woke Tarasque up. The moment he saw Albion, he trembled with fear from the oppression of his superiors. He fell to the ground with his head lowered, not daring to meet Albion's gaze.

"Roar!!"

Still seemingly dissatisfied with Tarasque's mediocre performance, Albion roared at Tarasque with an even heavier dragon roar. Tarasque was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, whimpering, indicating his fear and submission.

"Ouch... my head hurts... Tarasque?"

As if sensing the fear conveyed by the Tarasque, Marda woke up from her coma. After hearing the Tarasque's sobbing, she was about to look towards the source of the sound when she heard a familiar male voice:

"you're awake."

“!! It’s you! It’s you who gave…!!!”

After hearing Wang Chong's voice, Martha immediately understood the whole story and realized that she had been kidnapped.

But just as she was about to stand up, she found that her whole body was tied up by black mist chains in a very embarrassing position, like a turtle waiting to be slaughtered.

Even Mary blushed when she saw the modern art of tortoise shell binding. However, after hearing Wang Chong explain that the other party was a hostile servant, she did not say anything. She just wanted to see what Wang Chong was going to do next.

"Hey, I like to move around when I wake up."

Wang Chong came up to Marda, patted her face, and said, "Since you've lost, you should be prepared for failure. Don't you think you look ugly now?"

"Gu... Kill me if you dare! How can you be a hero if you humiliate me like this!" Martha's face flushed with anger. No one had ever dared to slap her face like this before. She said in a rage.

"When did I ever say I was a hero?"

Wang Chong shook his head, then swept his gaze up and down with a very impudent look, repeatedly clicking his tongue and saying, "As a dignified Saint, in this era, you are being forced to do things that go against your will. How do you feel now?"

"Tsk! What do you care!" Martha glanced away. She had already seen that the other party was sincere in his intention to humiliate her, so she stopped looking at him.

Chapter 23 Usurping the Servant

"You are such a hard-mouthed saint. I wonder if your body is as hard as your mouth."

As Wang Chong spoke, he began to take things out.

A pointed shadow appeared on Marda's face. The moment Marda saw it, her eyes trembled and she asked loudly, "You...what do you want to do!"

"My Noble Phantasm is huge, please bear with it."

As Wang Chong spoke, he thrust his Noble Phantasm into Martha's body.

"what--!!!"

A tragic scream suddenly rang out in the valley.

……

Orleans

Black Jeanne suddenly opened her eyes because she felt that her connection with a Servant was broken.

"Dead? No...it's more like...huh?"

Just as Black Jeanne was thinking, a familiar sound of footsteps came into her ears.

"Why did you come back so soon? Have you dealt with the dragon slayer?" Black Jeanne d'Arc said.

"I'm sorry, Lady Jeanne, things have gone a little wrong."

The person who entered the hall was Gilles de Res, who had returned in a hurry. He gave a brief account of what had happened in Lyon.

"..."

After listening to this, Black Jeanne's expression became somewhat uncertain. Gilles de Rais, who seemed to have sensed the atmosphere, did not say anything else.

After a long while, Black Jeanne said coldly:

"Since those two have escaped, what are you still doing here, Jill? Send out familiars, zombies, or dragons. Turn over all the surrounding land thoroughly! And find those two too! Do you still need me to teach you this?"

"Yes, Lady Jeanne, but... I have one more thing to ask. What is Rider's current situation? It's very likely that something has happened to Rider, or he may have followed the enemy." Gilles de Re asked.

“…Rider is fine, he’s still alive. But he’s probably heading towards Leon. He hasn’t gone anywhere else.”

Black Jeanne pondered for a moment, as if sensing Martha's location, and then said:

"If she's chasing the enemy, that means they haven't gotten far. Jill, dig deep into the ground to kill those two guys. We can't allow any more stupid incidents to happen in this country!"

"Okay, Master Jeanne..."

Gilles de Rais bowed and left, and Joan of Arc was the only one left in the hall.

"It's the Master, after all. And that feeling of disconnection... as expected, is also caused by the Master's Noble Phantasm."

At this moment, the gloomy look on Black Jeanne's face suddenly disappeared, and she became a little thoughtful.

"It seems something happened to Siegfried, otherwise the Master wouldn't have taken action... But that shouldn't be the case. According to the original plan, Martha would have hidden Siegfried according to her own rationality."

"And now the Master not only wants to rescue Siegfried, but also kidnap Marda... Although I feel that Marda's kidnapping is most likely due to the Master's nature, there may be other reasons."

While thinking, Black Jeanne looked back in the direction where Gilles de Rais had just left, and her eyes became somewhat dangerous.

"Gil...he's hiding something from me. He only said Siegfried was seriously injured. Is he just like before, hiding something from me...or has he seen something?"

After thinking about it, Black Jeanne began to have a headache. She was not good at thinking in the first place, but after following Wang Chong for a long time, she developed this alert instinct through constant influence.

"Never mind. Since the Master has my back, I don't have to worry too much. I just need to play my role well... It's like what little Medusa said? I forgot... Anyway, let him worry about it! Just consider it a punishment for the philandering Master."

Thinking of this, Black Jeanne didn't pay too much attention. She had already concealed Martha's situation for Wang Chong. This was the only way she could deal with the incident at the moment.

However, it must be said that this time, Black Jeanne's thinking really matched that of Wang Chong, who was thousands of miles away.

……

"Okay, the connection has been severed and grafted onto my side. I've also cleansed the frenzy in you. You can now do whatever you want."

Wang Chong took out the treasure in his hand, "Lulubulei Ka" (a talisman that can break all laws), from Martha's body.

Although C's Noble Phantasm has the effect of usurping the servant's contract, it may not be 100% successful in a special Holy Grail world like FGO.

Even as the master of the singularity, he might be able to use the power of the Holy Grail to directly eliminate the effect of the Talisman that can break all laws.

Fortunately, the current masters of singularities are all "traitors" arranged by themselves, so there is naturally no resistance in this regard.

"You are also a Master?"

After carefully feeling the powerful magical power transmitted by Wang Chong through the Master-Servant Contract, Marda realized that the other party was not a Servant, but a real flesh and blood body.

Since the misunderstanding had been resolved, Marda's gaze towards Wang Chong was no longer as hostile as before. She stretched her muscles and said calmly:

"You are truly formidable... Thousands of years later, a legendary figure like you will emerge."

"Thank you for your kind words, Saint." Wang Chong said with a smile.

"Don't use the term 'Saint' anymore. Since you have become my Master, just call me Rider or Martha."

Marda said this in a somewhat casual manner, then looked at the two people behind Wang Chong and asked, "Who are these two?"

"Hello~ I'm Rider too, but I prefer everyone to call me Marie, Marie Antoinette..."

Mary introduced herself enthusiastically as always, and said that she knew something about the story of Martha's covenant, and excitedly asked about the details of taming the dragon Tarasque.

Fortunately, Martha also showed her unusual elder sister demeanor to this very enthusiastic girl and started chatting with her.

As for Albion, she didn't bother to pay attention to the two women. She simply followed Wang Chong's footsteps and came to a man who made her feel disgusted.

"Sniff... roar..."

As if smelling the scent of the man's blood, Albion's face suddenly became ferocious, his golden vertical pupils staring at the other party, and he was about to open his mouth to spit out dragon breath.

"Woo!"

However, Wang Chong was obviously able to sense Albion's movements, and he pressed his big hand directly on Albion's head to suppress her ferocity.

"Be obedient and don't get close to him."

Wang Chong instructed.

Albion nodded, and finally obeyed Wang Chong's order. He found a large rock and lay down to rest.

"This child..."

Apparently, this commotion also attracted the attention of Martha and Mary. Martha couldn't help but frown slightly and asked.

"Albion is a dragon~ Rare, isn't it? A dragon that can change its appearance." Mary said bluntly.

"No wonder I sensed an inhuman aura from her..." Martha finally realized, then said, "But... if that's the case, this child's aura is a bit too strong."

"Hmm? Too strong? Mary, I don't feel anything. I just think Albion-chan is cute." Mary asked with a smile.

"It takes special training to detect this, so it's normal that you can't feel it. However, when I say strong, I don't mean strong in quantity, but in quality. In other words, this child's status is a bit too high."

Marda stared at Albion, and couldn't help but murmur, "Even worse than that one..."

"Mertha, can you tell me what happened to Siegfried? Why was he discovered and surrounded by you so quickly? And why doesn't he have a Noble Phantasm in his hand?"

At this moment, Wang Chong's voice suddenly came, drawing Marda's attention to Siegfried. She saw that Wang Chong was performing healing magic to make Siegfried feel better.

"Not long ago, we suddenly received an order from that guy Jill, saying that he had found the whereabouts of a Servant suspected to be a Dragon Slayer, and wanted to eliminate it in advance to prevent future troubles..."

Martha began to recall and roughly explained what she might know.

However, what made Wang Chong somewhat disappointed was that the information Marda repeated did not contain any useful clues. Even the other party did not know why the other party's treasure disappeared. They only knew that when they arrived, they found the other party holding a broken sword, lost in thought.

As for what happened next, it was roughly what Wang Chong had in mind. Marda's original intention was to preserve Siegfried, the dragon slayer, as a seed to fight against Fafner.

However, after witnessing that he had lost his Noble Phantasm that could fight against the dragon, Martha gave up on Siegfried, the dragon slayer.

She placed her hope on whether a new Servant capable of fighting against Fafner would be born after Siegfried's death.

Chapter 24 Unknown Enemy

"Even if you save his life now, it will be in vain." Martha said in a deep voice, "According to predetermined fate, Siegfried is the only one who can deal with the evil dragon, but now he has no Noble Phantasm..."

"Even without his Noble Phantasm, Siegfried still has his due role. At the very least, what happened to him tells us that the changes in this world may not be as simple as we imagined, and there may be other hidden forces."

Wang Chong said in a deep voice.

"You mean, the real enemy isn't the crazy Joan of Arc?" Martha couldn't help but wonder.

"Of course, because that 'Jeanne' is my Servant." Wang Chong answered nonchalantly.

"What did you say?!" Marda's expression changed suddenly after she learned the truth, and the look she gave Wang Chong became dangerous again.

Wang Chong didn't care about the change in Martha's eyes. He knew very well that Black Jeanne d'Arc would do a lot of things to put on a good show, which would naturally make the saint Martha intolerable.

As the Master of Black Jeanne d'Arc, no matter how I look at it, I seem to be the "mastermind" behind that cholera world.

At that moment, Wang Chong informed everyone about the original direction of this singularity, how he had deliberately disrupted cause and effect, how he had inserted his two servants, Black Jeanne d'Arc and Atalanta, and all his plans.

After listening to Wang Chong's explanation, Marda's expression finally relaxed again. Although there was still a hint of doubt in her eyes, she had already begun to think about the connection between them.

"So, Gil is the real mastermind? He was originally going to personally create a doll of Jeanne d'Arc, a vengeful Joan of Arc, and bring it to the cholera country, but now he has been replaced by your Servant."

Marda combed her hair slowly, then said, "But even so, those people..."

"Let's not talk about anything that happened in the singularity. After the singularity is resolved, everything will be restored to its original state. Besides, how do you know that Black Jeanne d'Arc and Atalanta didn't hold back?" Wang Chong asked.

"...I see." Martha suddenly remembered Atalanta's strange behavior of always coming home late, and seemed to have the answer in her mind.

Wang Chong also saw what Marda was thinking and said slowly:

"If they weren't worried about being discovered by that guy Gil, I think Black Jeanne and Atalanta could have done more. Now is not the time to be soft-hearted. Resolving this singularity is the most important thing."

"Then why not just deal with Jill... No, that's not right. Jill is not the ultimate culprit. The guy who gave Jill the Holy Grail is... Who is that guy?" Martha murmured.

Wang Chong quietly watched Marda's performance. He deliberately omitted the part about his transformation into Leif and did not directly tell Marda about the situation of the Demon Pillar's forces. He just wanted to test whether Marda knew some inside information.

After all, both the Holy Grail and King Solomon had an inexplicable relationship with the pigeon. And Martha had once followed the Pigeon Prince, so he didn't believe the saint was completely unaware of these circumstances.

It was unclear whether Martha was pretending too well, or if some force had hidden this part of her memory, but Martha clearly showed that she knew nothing about the Demon King.

"That's fine. We'll see if we can force the pillar hidden in this world out. Maybe we can test Martha's reaction."

Wang Chong secretly took note of it. After all, now that Martha had become his Servant, her reactions and changes were all under his control. As long as there was even the slightest thing wrong, he would be able to detect it.
