"I only had a few guesses, but I couldn't grasp them yet. I could only use this fishing method to see if I could lure them out. As expected, they showed their true colors."
As he spoke, Wang Chong glanced at Siegfried, who had deliberately stopped the treatment.
"You mean... the guy who destroyed Siegfried's Noble Phantasm is the real culprit behind this?" Martha asked.
"We'll know what's going on when Siegfried wakes up. I've already stabilized his condition, so it's only a matter of time before he wakes up."
Wang Chong looked at Siegfried and said in a deep voice.
……
"Woo..." After a low groan, Siegfried finally woke up from his coma.
"You're awake. Congratulations. The operation was successful. You're now a girl."
At this moment, a face appeared next to Siegfried, looking at him with a smile and speaking words of horror.
However, Siegfried was slightly stunned at first, then frowned and sensed the condition of his body before speaking:
"My friend, please don't make such jokes."
"It's so boring." Wang Chong looked uninterested and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I probably don't have that kind of sense of humor." Siegfried straightened up while apologizing and then thanked him, "Thank you very much, friend. I will repay you for saving my life in the future."
"Rather than reporting back, it would be better for you to tell us a little about what happened. We are more concerned about this matter right now."
At this time, Martha came into Siegfried's sight and spoke.
"It's you!?"
Siegfried immediately became alert, but Wang Chong stopped him, saying, "Stop, she's no longer a hostile Servant."
Afterwards, Wang Chong briefly explained what happened after they were led out of the black fog. After learning that Wang Chong was the Master and had subdued Martha, they felt relieved.
"As for what happened to me... I don't know how to describe it." Siegfried seemed to recall the scene that happened in Lyon not long ago.
"Not long ago, after I descended into this world, I didn't initially understand why this world had summoned me. But when I saw dragons and monsters attacking the city, I engaged them without a second thought."
"At the beginning, everything went smoothly. Those guys were no match for me. But after it was over, I felt like I was being watched by an inexplicable gaze."
Siegfried said slowly:
"It was an uncomfortable feeling, like a bunch of chaotic voices popping up in my head for no reason, driving me crazy. To find that feeling of being watched, I headed in the corresponding direction."
"But the closer we got, the louder the sound became, making me dizzy. So I decided to break free from their lock and flee towards the city. But they seemed to have spotted me and were hot on my heels."
"When I was in the city, my body's instincts reminded me of the danger of death, so I instinctively used my greatsword to resist... but unexpectedly..."
Siegfried didn't say anything else, but everyone present understood the meaning of his words.
"So, you also failed to realize who the other party was, and your treasure was destroyed by the other party?" Wang Chong said in a deep voice.
"Well, that attack was even stronger than I imagined. I was instantly sent flying a long way, and even my sword exploded... But strangely enough, I was able to survive that attack."
Siegfried couldn't help but say:
"Although this body of mine also inherits immortality...but this level of immortality is nothing compared to that attack. I don't know whether to say I'm unlucky or lucky."
Only Wang Chong knew that Siegfried was definitely unlucky, not lucky. If it weren't for the black mist he had left behind, he would have died from that attack long ago.
"And strangely enough, after launching that attack, that guy had no intention of launching a similar attack again. He simply disappeared without a trace. He also had no intention of killing me again... But you all know what happened after that."
Siegfried answered truthfully.
Chapter 25 Making a Plan
"Not only can they use sound to disturb the mind, but they can also transform it into an invisible attack method to destroy the Noble Phantasm... It's truly incredible."
After listening to Siegfried's story, Martha frowned and said:
"At least my former 'colleagues' definitely don't have that ability. It seems that the person who destroyed your Noble Phantasm, Siegfried, must be the mastermind behind it."
"Who's behind this?" Siegfried looked puzzled.
"I know, I know. Let me explain it to you, Miss Mary~" Mary repeated to Siegfried what Wang Chong had just said to Martha, so that Siegfried could understand what had happened.
"So, I'm the key to defeating Fafnir? That's why I've led you here."
After listening to Mary's story, Siegfried also showed a look of enlightenment. He then looked at Wang Chong and asked:
"Mr. Wang Chong, do you have any ideas?"
"I know very little about that mysterious being, but I can deduce some things."
At that moment, Wang Chong explained how he had separated his black mist power in order to search for the Servant who was likely to appear in this world.
By the way, it also explains why Siegfried was not killed by the sonic attack and why he was able to arrive instantly after Siegfried was in danger.
"I see. I'm really grateful for your life-saving grace twice. I can't help but feel repaid." Siegfried couldn't help but sigh.
"So, Master, what you mean is that the mastermind behind the attack on Siegfried triggered the backup plan you arranged, and therefore hid himself?" Martha asked.
"Well, that's understandable. He probably couldn't guess my strength, so he's just waiting and watching for the sake of caution," Wang Chong explained.
"Now, I have a plan..."
Wang Chong then stood up and told Martha and Siegfried the idea he had just formed in his mind.
"Shall I attract the mastermind?"
"Should I go back and lie dormant?"
Two questioning words came from the two people's mouths, obviously unable to understand why Wang Chong made such an arrangement.
"Since the mastermind behind this would attack you, Siegfried, there's no doubt he'll focus his attention on you. This is evident from the way he attacked you right away."
Wang Chong said slowly.
"But... now that my Noble Phantasm—the Holy Sword Barumuk—has been shattered, I'm afraid I'm completely worthless in his eyes. This might be why he didn't insist on killing me."
Siegfried said with some regret.
"Oh, the Holy Sword Barumuk, right?"
At this moment, Wang Chong clenched his hand, and a golden object resembling a key appeared. He then twisted it, and a golden circle appeared next to it.
Wang Chong reached in and probed, then pulled out a silver-white longsword that was extremely familiar to Siegfried from the golden halo.
“…Holy Sword Barumuk!!?”
Siegfried looked incredulous. His own Noble Phantasm had clearly been destroyed, so where did the other party get the Barumk from?
No... the key point is why the other party was able to produce his own Noble Phantasm? What exactly is that golden key?
"Is this... the power of a Noble Phantasm? Could it be able to copy other people's Noble Phantasms?" Martha could see something and couldn't help asking.
"No, no, no, this isn't the kind of copying you use to create a fake. If my friend heard you say that, he'd definitely be furious."
Wang Chong shamelessly called himself friends with the oldest fat tiger king.
"In short, I can guarantee that this Barumuk is exactly the same as your Barumuk."
Wang Chong tossed the holy sword he had taken from Wang Cai directly to Siegfried, then continued:
"With it, you have enough attraction to attract the mastermind to take action."
After Siegfried took the treasure, he looked at it carefully, and then wielded it with his magic power. He was surprised to find that this sword was exactly the same as the holy sword he had owned before.
"Well, if that's the case, I have the confidence to lure it out... So, do I have to lure it out and then surround and kill it?" Siegfried asked.
"That's basically it. I'll leave another mark on your body. This will allow me to maintain a sense of your surroundings and also serve as a means of protecting you."
Wang Chong then swung out the black mist, condensed it into a black bracelet, and fixed it on Siegfried's right hand.
"However, there's a possibility that the other party won't come out just yet. After all, I've already been exposed. I'm afraid they might ignore the fact that you've regained possession of your Noble Phantasm and make other plans. So, at this time, I need you, Martha."
Wang Chong looked at Marda and said.
"Master, do you mean that the mastermind behind this will not target Siegfried, but instead target Jill and the others?" Martha asked involuntarily.
"Well, although I have already arranged Black Jeanne d'Arc and Atalanta over there, if we can have one more person, it will also be an extra guarantee to spy on the other party." Wang Chong said slowly.
"As for the reason for your return, just say you discovered our tracks and chased us with the Tarasque. However, you were ultimately defeated and had to retreat for the time being."
"That's a bit lame... And if the mastermind behind this had been hiding in the dark, he might have witnessed you being taken away."
Marda frowned and said.
"If that's the case, it's even better." Wang Chong smiled and said, "Even if they have suspicions, who would have thought that your Servant Contract has been revoked? And the only person who knows the truth is also one of my people. They can't produce any evidence at all."
"This way, not only will you still be eligible to return, but you'll also become the primary suspect. Like Siegfried, you can become someone they must secretly eliminate. After all, there's a saying that goes, 'It's better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go.'"
"I see. So, they're setting up operations in both locations to uncover the mastermind behind this?"
Martha also saw the black mist wrapped around her, but it was more hidden, hidden in her hair.
"But what if that guy keeps hiding? Just like a frightened child, no matter how we shout or how we attract him, he refuses to come out?" Mary couldn't help but ask.
"That would be the best. It would be best if we could eliminate the singularity and it wouldn't come out. Even if it wanted to create a new singularity, it would probably take a lot of effort."
Wang Chong shook his head and then said:
"By tomorrow, the organization called Chaldea will also arrive at this singularity, and many more Servants will descend into this world. Once we unite all the Servants and eliminate their forces one by one, there's no need to worry about them not coming back."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and began to agree with the plan formulated by Wang Chong.
Afterwards, Wang Chong explained the details of the plan to Siegfried and Martha. Martha then left with the Tarasque, preparing to reunite with her colleagues who were waiting in Lyon.
As for Siegfried, he would later return to Lyon City to conduct guerrilla warfare, occasionally firing a couple of Devil's Drops to eliminate the monsters or servants guarding the area, thus trying to lure out the mastermind.
"What about me? What are my plans?" Mary asked with an expectant look.
"Mary, please stay with me on this mountain for a while. If there's any unusual movement on Siegfried's side, we can rush over as soon as possible. If there's no movement, we still need to make some arrangements for tomorrow."
Wang Chong instructed slowly.
Chapter 26: The Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon - Orleans
About half an hour later, Wang Chong first received feedback from Martha.
Although Jill and the others said nothing about Martha's return and her choice of words, they still caught the flash of suspicion in their eyes.
However, just as Wang Chong expected, due to the lack of accurate evidence and the support of Black Joan of Arc, Martha returned to Orleans normally.
As for the city of Lyon, because Siegfried could not be found for a long time and knowing that Siegfried's Noble Phantasm had been broken, and confirming that he was no longer a threat to Fafner, Jill took most of the people away, leaving only the Phantom of the Theater to guard it.
Everything seemed to be returning to the original plot line.
After learning that Martha and the others had left, Siegfried waited for a while and then went down the mountain to make some trouble in Lyon.
Not only has Siegfried recovered now, but the curse has also been directly lifted by Wang Chong's summoner skill [Purification].
Therefore, with Siegfried's current strength at its peak, even if he was besieged by those people again, he would be able to escape with ease.
While waiting for Siegfried's movements, Wang Chong continued to extend the black fog towards other cities.
For example, Kiyohime and Elizabeth will appear in Thiers, and Saint George may appear in Bordeaux.
Unfortunately, Wang Chong was unable to find the whereabouts of these three servants.
"Looks like it might not arrive until tomorrow. Well... we should be in Chaldea tomorrow anyway."
Wang Chong saw that it was almost dusk and there was not much time left for the day.
Afterwards, Wang Chong began to search for Jeanne's whereabouts. Relying on the intuition of his contract with Jeanne, Wang Chong quickly found her location.
At this moment, Joan of Arc was already near Vaucouleurs, which had not yet been captured. She was accompanied by a group of elderly, weak, women and children, who fled together to the human fortresses that had not yet been breached.
Wang Chong narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that these must be some innocent people that Black Jeanne and Atalanta had deliberately spared. Had they successfully contacted Jeanne and had her taken away?
I don’t know whether with such changes, Joan of Arc will still suffer hostility and contempt from the soldiers as the original plot developed.
"Om-"
Suddenly, a dazzling blue-white light suddenly burst out from the city of Lyon on the plain far away on the top of the mountain. After a few seconds, a rumbling sound and a vibration were heard.
"Huh... what is that?" Mary hurried to the edge of the hill, looked at the blue-white light column rising in the distance, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"That is Siegfried's ultimate move, Balmung (Fantasy Greatsword: Devil's Fall)."
Wang Chong said slowly.
"How impressive..." Mary exclaimed, then turned around and asked, "Since Mr. Siegfried has used his Noble Phantasm, does that mean the mastermind behind this is about to be revealed?"
"Let's wait and see..." Wang Chong did not give a direct affirmative answer. He was also observing the situation in the distance with his eyes slightly narrowed.
After Siegfried killed some monsters and almost killed a theater phantom who hid in time, he put away his sword and hurriedly started running towards the jungle without any hesitation.
