However, things are unpredictable. In the yard that had been silent for who knows how long, new movements finally appeared.
"Om-"
Like ripples on water, the space at the entrance of the outer courtyard began to fluctuate slowly. Then, three figures other than the girl appeared in the courtyard.
"Uh, is this the place? The place Aunt Orange mentioned." Looking at the old building in front of her, Toosaka Rin had a hint of curiosity on her face.
Beside her were Tosaka Sakura and Mao Yun. A golden token was floating above their heads. As the token rotated, golden light fell and turned into a circle of golden light shield around the three people.
"Yes, if what you told me before was her exact words, then this is it."
Hearing this, Mao Yun nodded, and then she seemed to remember something, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said:
"I didn't expect she actually remembered this place. She told you that if you failed to summon the Master, you should ask me to bring you here for help. But then again, when she first came to find me, she didn't know the ins and outs of our mountain gate, so she couldn't find the way and ended up straying here and suffering a great loss. It's understandable that she left a deep impression on me."
"Suffer a loss? Is that true?" Upon hearing this, Toosaka Rin said with some surprise.
As someone who could barely be considered Orange's student, she had never heard Orange talk about this before.
"Of course, if I hadn't found her in time, it would be unknown whether she could escape safely." Mao Yun said.
As she spoke, she turned her head and looked towards the inner courtyard, where was the target they were looking for.
"Hey! You must be kidding! You can't even get away with it?"
Toosaka Rin was really surprised this time. Because she had been learning magic knowledge from Orange, she had a very clear understanding of Orange's power as a magician, or puppeteer.
Apart from anything else, she once thought that no one could truly kill Aozaki Touko unless they erased her at the root level. That woman would always pop up again from somewhere when you thought she was dead.
That's why she was so surprised when she heard Mao Yun describe Chengzi's situation at the time as one where it was difficult for her to even escape unscathed.
At the same time, she couldn't help but question the purpose of their trip, which was to successfully seek help from the other party.
Will such an existence really pay attention to their requests?
"Isn't that strange? Even though Orange is a Grand-level magician and a puppeteer, there are still people who can kill her."
"Not to mention, it's that existence inside..."
Mao Yun turned and looked at the Tōsaka sisters seriously. "For your safety, I shouldn't have agreed to bring you here, but... I'll trust you for once. After all, if the future is truly as you describe, you'll need some power to handle it."
Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura do not exist in this time. According to them, they came back to the present time from the not too distant future through some means.
The purpose of the two is very simple, which is to find the sword that Zhao Si left behind in this world when he left, and then use it as a medium to summon the heroic spirit Zhao Si, and return to the future to participate in an unprecedented war.
Because of Orange's token, it was not difficult to verify the identities of the two. Although coming from the future was rare, it was not unrecorded. Therefore, Mao Yun did not doubt their identities.
However, she always had doubts about the purpose of the two people. After all, it involved Zhao Si, her master, and she couldn't be careless.
This suspicion was not completely erased from Mao Yun's mind until Zhao Si's biological daughter Illya was summoned by the two of them. She then brought the two of them to this forbidden area of the sect.
"Well, we won't let you down, Sister Mao Yun." Upon hearing this, Toosaka Sakura nodded.
"Whether it's a disappointment or not, to be honest, since you failed to summon our master, I think there's no need for you to come here anymore." Mao Yun shook her head.
"Uh, why do you say that?" Toosaka Rin asked in confusion.
"I think you probably misunderstood what Orange meant. She didn't tell you to come here for help if you failed to summon your Master. She told you that you can only come here for help after you have summoned your Master."
"As for the reason, you may not know, but the person inside can basically only be communicated with by our master, and no one else has ever been able to do this since I can remember," said Mao Yun.
As the current leader of Taoism, even she would not easily approach this place when she has nothing to do. Otherwise, if she forgets to bring her token, it would be difficult for her to leave the yard.
The reason why she told the two of them this was to explain the risks involved clearly so that they could consider whether they could get help from the other party in the absence of Zhao Si.
After listening to Mao Yun's words, sisters Lin and Ying looked at each other, feeling a little hesitant.
Thinking carefully, due to some circumstances before leaving, Orange's words seemed a little unclear in my ears. It seemed that they were indeed similar to what Mao Yun was saying now?
Did Orange come here after asking them to summon Zhao Si?
"...Anyway, since we're here, we should at least give it a try, right?" Toosaka Rin said after a while.
"And with this thing, even if we can't reach an agreement, that person won't do anything to us, right?" She said, pointing to the token floating above her head.
"Of course. Anyway, since I brought you here, I won't let anything happen to you."
Mao Yun nodded, then continued, "However, even with the help of the token's power, some things are unavoidable. If we can't negotiate well, you might suffer some minor losses."
"Well, if you're unlucky, you might be in a coma for ten days or half a month. Compared to losing your life, that's nothing."
"How about it, are you ready?"
Hearing this, Rin and Sakura looked at each other, then nodded at the same time.
"Okay, then..."
Seeing that the two were ready, Mao Yun took a step forward and the next moment had passed by them and arrived in front of the vermilion gate leading to the inner courtyard.
With a serious expression, Mao Yun reached out and slowly pushed the door open.
In the inner courtyard, as the vermilion gate opened wider and wider, a suppressed and low breath swallowed up the originally silent atmosphere. The girl's breathing began to become rapid, like a ferocious beast slowly recovering.
Finally, when the vermilion door was completely opened, the girl sitting on the chair also completely opened her bright and indifferent golden pupils.
Chapter 576 Joan of Arc
Generally speaking, the Holy Grail War consists of seven Masters and seven Heroic Spirits of different classes. The Masters and Heroic Spirits form partnerships and compete under the rules of the Holy Grail War to determine the winner.
In fact, in the Holy Grail War, in addition to the original seven knight classes, Heroic Spirits can also appear in other forms.
In the forest under the moonlight, a girl with golden pigtails touched the broken core of the giant puppet. She closed her eyes, a thoughtful look on her face.
"During the battle, the three Heroic Spirits on the Red side showed no signs of receiving any orders from their Master. Although this is indeed the territory of the Yugdomrenia clan, the traces of the Red Master so far are too weak."
This was very strange, but the girl couldn't figure out the reason.
"Hmm? This feeling is..."
As she was thinking, suddenly, an inexplicable feeling began to emerge in the girl's heart, and then pictures began to scroll through her mind like a slide show.
Under the moonlight, heroic spirits belonging to the same camp were confronting each other. A black-haired heroic spirit was flying in the air. He waved his hand and a rain of swords of light fell from the sky, shooting towards the white-haired heroic spirit and many puppets below.
The white-haired hero kept dodging and blocking the rain of swords shot at him. He maintained a calm expression on his face and kept looking for opportunities to launch a counterattack.
"It's actually a fratricide within the same faction?!"
The picture that appeared in front of her eyes was not long, but in just a few seconds, the information contained in it was fed back to the girl.
The girl who received the feedback responded immediately. She did not bother to think about the original question and began to rush towards the battlefield.
As she ran, a white fluorescent light suddenly emanated from the girl's body. Then, the uniform of the girl, who originally looked like a high school girl, disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a set of silver-white armor.
The girl's true name is Jeanne d'Arc, also a Heroic Spirit. In this Holy Grail War, she appeared in the world as a Ruler.
The so-called ruler is a "judge". In addition to the original seven knight classes, it is one of the special classes that can be adapted when the heroic spirit manifests. The significance of its existence can be regarded as a referee to maintain the smooth progress of the Holy Grail War.
Of course, not all Holy Grail Wars will feature Ruler-class Heroic Spirits. Generally speaking, there are two broad categories of situations in which Rulers are summoned:
First, the form of this Holy Grail War is very special, and the outcome is unknown, which means that the Holy Grail has determined that a Ruler is needed; second, the impact of the Holy Grail War may cause the world to become distorted.
In the above two situations, only when one of them occurs in a Holy Grail War, will the Holy Grail War specially summon the Ruler to maintain the operation of the Holy Grail War.
It is worth mentioning that not all heroes are qualified to become rulers. Only heroes who have no wishes before death are qualified to become rulers.
As the most well-known saint in French and even world history, Joan of Arc's qualifications as a ruler are unquestionable.
This Holy Grail War is undoubtedly a special case compared to the previous seven knights fighting against each other. Therefore, Jeanne d'Arc was specially summoned by the Greater Holy Grail as the ruler.
"Speaking of which, that Heroic Spirit..."
As she ran, for some reason, Joan of Arc suddenly recalled the brief scene she had seen before, but compared to before, her attention was now focused on the black-haired heroic spirit.
When she saw the other person, she felt a familiar feeling floating in her heart.
"...We must have had contact during a previous Holy Grail War, but why is the remaining impression so deep?" Joan of Arc thought with some confusion.
You know, just like Zhao Si’s current situation, when the heroic spirits appear in the world, it is not their real bodies that come out, but their split spirits that come down.
Except for the special cases of certain Heroic Spirits, most Heroic Spirits, if summoned twice in a row, will not retain the memory of the previous appearance. At most, they will have some vague feelings, and this is when the original impression was very deep.
And now, Joan of Arc felt such a strong sense of familiarity with the black-haired heroic spirit that it was inevitable that she felt curious and puzzled about what kind of intersection she had with that heroic spirit.
Of course, familiarity is familiarity, curiosity is curiosity, but as the ruler of this Holy Grail War, she must maintain the smooth progress of this Holy Grail War. Things like fighting within the same camp are undoubtedly unexpected situations. She has the responsibility and obligation to find out the reasons and not favor any side.
"I hope the fault is not yours. Otherwise, don't think that I will let you go just because we are acquaintances." Joan of Arc said to herself with a smile on her face that she herself did not even notice.
Then, she quickened her pace and rushed towards the battlefield.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Continuous explosions sounded in the forest under the cover of night. It was clearly the sword of light, but it behaved like a series of small missiles, constantly bombarding the puppets below.
These puppets were all made by the red caster Avisbronn. He himself was not here yet, so he asked these puppets that were originally arranged near this area to assist Siegfried to resist Zhao Si while retrieving the android boy who was taken away by Astolfo.
However, he overestimated the puppets he made and underestimated Zhao Si's strength.
Three minutes have passed since the fight started, and Zhao Si has been floating steadily in the air, while Avisbronn's puppet and Siegfried have never been able to break through the defense line constructed by the rain of swords of light.
As for Astolfo and the android boy, no one knew where they had disappeared to in the past three minutes. Unless Astolfo's Master used a Command Spell to order Astolfo to bring the android back, it would be impossible to find them now.
So, would the Red Side use a precious Command Seal for a android boy who has nothing to do with the battle?
The answer is obvious, no.
On Zhao Si's side, there were several times when Siegfried successfully found opportunities to approach Zhao Si under the cover of the puppet. However, before he could make a move, Zhao Si got to his side first and kicked him back to the ground.
For Zhao Si, if the factor of the Noble Phantasm is excluded, then he cannot be said to be not afraid of anyone in this Holy Grail War. Even if he is fighting alone against many people, he will not be afraid.
If Siegfried wanted to rely on getting close to Zhao Si to deal with him, it would be a pipe dream. Just like the stereotype of most people, they all thought that ancient archers would be defeated if they were approached by melee soldiers. However, they did not know that archers were elite units, and they would not be afraid at all when they used knives to chop people.
Of course, they were from the same camp after all, so Zhao Si didn't make things too awkward. He just stopped Siegfried from stopping Astolfo. Otherwise, he wouldn't care at that time, but it would be difficult for Fiore.
Thinking about it, seeing that the situation was almost over, Zhao Si slowly uttered a word:
"end."
As soon as the words were spoken, the rain of swords in the sky stopped instantly.
"Disperse."
"Bam—"
The sound of disintegration was endless, and the lightsaber shattered, turning into points of light and dissipating in the sky.
After doing all this, Zhao Si slowly landed on the ground and came in front of Siegfried.
As for Siegfried, he saw that the man in front of him seemed to have no intention of taking action, so he was silent for a while and then put away his weapon.
Zhao Si just glanced at him, then leaned against a big tree and waited quietly.
Chapter 577 Is This Called Self-Defense?
"Archer, you idiot! Do you even know what you were doing?!"
In the forest not far from the previous battle site, an angry shout was heard, and a pot-bellied blond man stared at Zhao Si.
"Nonsense, of course I know what I did, there's no need for you to tell me what to do." Hearing this, Zhao Si sneered and glanced at the other party.
"Are you worthy?"
Zhao Si's initial impression of the man in front of him was just conceited and arrogant, but now, perhaps he should add the word incompetent.
To be honest, if he hadn't learned some information about the androids from Fiore, he might not have remembered the name of the man in front of him.
Gold Mujik Yugdomrenia, a guy who poorly imitated the Einzbern family's android technology.
Compared to the android technology mastered by the Einzbern family, if the androids created by the Einzbern family are compared to works of art, then the level that this guy in front of him can reach after obtaining some of the Einzbern technology is only equivalent to the quality of industrial-scale products.
If Zhao Si disliked Danic, then he had never looked at Gold with any respect.
"You!!" After hearing what Zhao Si said, the man gritted his teeth and his face turned red. It was obvious that he was very angry.
"Saber!" Finally, he turned his gaze to Siegfried who was silent beside him.
"Haha, what's wrong? Didn't you understand the situation just now? Do you want to do it again?" Zhao Si was not intimidated by the man's actions. He left the tree trunk he was leaning against and slowly walked towards the fat man.
Looking at Zhao Si's reaction, although he felt a little helpless, for Siegfried, he was his master after all.
"Crack!"
Holding a big sword and blocking Zhao Si's path, Siegfried responded to his master's orders with his actions.
"Yin——"
The essence of gold and stone in his hand surged and turned into an eight-sided Han sword. Since the opponent wanted to continue fighting, Zhao Si would naturally accompany him.
