However, as a voice sounded, there was no possibility that the two would fight again.

"Stop! Archer and Saber on the black side!" The girl's voice rang out under the night sky, attracting the attention of everyone present.

I saw that on the ground that was originally stirred by Zhao Si's sword energy and looked like it had been plowed, a heroic figure appeared under the moonlight.

The girl held a flagpole in her hand, and her silver-white armor was stained with moonlight. She stood there, and the words of restraint came out of her mouth.

Looking at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhao Si was still a little confused about her identity, but Siegfried and even Gold recognized the girl at a glance.

"Ruler?" Siegfried said to the girl.

"Ruler?" Hearing this, Zhao Si looked at Siegfried with some confusion on his face.

"Well, Ruler is a special class besides the Seven Knights. Its specific duties are..."

Siegfried nodded. The moment he saw Jeanne, he knew that there was no possibility of him and Zhao Si fighting again, so he kindly explained to Zhao Si the meaning of the ruler class.

However, before he could finish his words, Jeanne came towards them and interrupted him, saying:

"My duty is to maintain the smooth progress of this Holy Grail War and to prevent you from taking any actions that may go beyond the rules."

"This is Ruler. My true name is Jeanne d'Arc, and I am a Servant descended with this rank."

"Oh, so it's the referee?" Hearing this, Zhao Si nodded thoughtfully. With a slight force, the Han sword made of gold and stone in his hand once again turned into the essence of gold and stone and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Since the referee said to stop, then stop. But I didn’t expect that there would be a referee in the Holy Grail War. This is really a new thing.

Zhao Si thought, what he didn't notice was that since Joan of Arc appeared, she had been secretly watching him out of the corner of her eyes, with a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes from time to time.

This familiar feeling, what kind of intersection have we had?

Joan of Arc thought to herself, she knew that she would not be able to remember it now, because she was now a split spirit, and only the original body in Valhalla would know about the other party.

She had hoped that Archer would remember something after seeing her, but now it seemed that he had forgotten even more completely and didn't seem to have any impression of her at all.

Shaking her head, Joan of Arc could only give up thinking about this problem and start focusing on her job.

"Saber, Archer, why are you, teammates in the same camp, fighting each other when the winner has not yet been decided?" asked Jeanne d'Arc.

"Emmm, just hit me, why bother asking so many questions?" Zhao Si spread his hands after hearing that.

"If I have to say, it's because of different ideas? Or maybe it's because of some idiot that we are fighting." Zhao Si chuckled and glanced at Gold who was silent beside him.

If Siegfried had been the only one looking for Astolfo and the others, perhaps the situation wouldn't have turned into the intense one it just now.

However, with the addition of an arrogant, conceited and extremely self-aware guy, things naturally evolved into what they are now.

Don’t you see, if Joan of Arc had arrived a few minutes later, it would have been a new round of confrontation.

"So the reason lies with Saber's Master?" Upon hearing this, Jeanne also looked at Gold beside her.

"What's the specific reason?" she asked again.

"Hiss, as for the specific reason, how should I put it? As for me, I think I just did a good deed. Well, helping others is my pleasure. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. As for them..." Zhao Si glanced at Gold.

"Ha, who knows? You know, I wasn't the one who was going to do it in the first place."

"Hmph! That kid was created by me. How I deal with him is my own business." Upon hearing this, Gold snorted coldly.

Just like what was said before, he is the creator of all androids in the Yugdomrenia clan, and that android boy is no exception.

"Even if you are indeed the creator of that child, so what? What does this have to do with my plan to help him?" Zhao Si said.

"In the final analysis, the core of the problem is that you asked Saber to attack first. The most I can be considered is forced to defend myself."

"justifiable defense..."

Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc whispered the word again, then looked around, and finally her gaze returned to Zhao Si, with a thoughtful look on her face.

Has this person always been telling lies with his eyes open?

You call this forced self-defense?

I'm taking a day off because I have a lot of things to do at work, so I have to work overtime. Then I'll code a little after get off work. If there's enough time and my ideas are not stuck, I'll post it directly. If not, I'll post it together tomorrow. That's it.

Chapter 578 Unstable Factors

In fact, the cause and process of the whole incident were not as complicated as Joan of Arc imagined. Just as Zhao Si said, if one had to describe it, then the phrase "different ideas" would be enough to summarize it.

As for things like this, as long as there are no special reasons involved, Joan of Arc doesn't actually need to be concerned.

After all, although this Holy Grail War was divided into two camps, black and red, internal strife was not uncommon in the final analysis. As long as it followed the rules, it would be fine even if the black side fought among themselves until only one person was left.

She wanted to maintain fairness in the Holy Grail War, but couldn't she stop someone from wanting to lose? She couldn't control that. She was the referee, not the black camp's nanny. She didn't care who won or lost.

"I already understand what happened. Since your internal strife is not due to special circumstances, if you still intend to continue fighting each other, I will not stop your choice." After weighing the pros and cons, Joan of Arc looked at Zhao Si and others and said.

After saying this, Jeanne glanced at Zhao Si, then continued, "Of course, I believe that since you, whether you are Heroic Spirits or Masters, have chosen to respond and participate in this Holy Grail War, you must have your own desires for the Holy Grail. Therefore, I suggest that you stop and wait until you have decided the outcome with the Red Team before deciding the final winner among yourselves."

"That's all I have to say. Whether to listen or not, the choice is in your hands." After saying this, Joan of Arc moved back a distance and observed them quietly.

Shortly after Jeanne finished speaking, Zhao Si said bluntly, "Well, you've heard what the referee said. Should we fight or not? I personally don't care. Of course, I won't give in on the matter of that child. If you still intend to continue tracking down that child, then let's continue fighting."

As he spoke, Zhao Si smiled, revealing a "harmless" smile, with a faint golden glow appearing around him.

Seeing Zhao Si's expression of being ready to fight if he disagreed with him, Siegfried raised his sword and asked Gold, "Master, what do you think?"

""

In response to Siegfried's question, Gold did not answer. He just clenched his fists and looked at Zhao Si with a very ugly expression.

If possible, he really wanted Siegfried to go up and kill this heroic spirit who had no respect for him and even despised him.

But just like Joan of Arc said, he also longed for the Holy Grail. He wanted to use the Holy Grail to find the secret of the origin or realize his own wishes. In short, he did not want to lose this Holy Grail War.

In addition, as for Zhao Si's strength, although he hated Zhao Si, he had to admit that it would be difficult for his Saber to defeat the opponent if he fought alone without using the Noble Phantasm.

"...Hmph! In that case, for the sake of the ruler..."

"Archer!"

Gold snorted coldly and was about to walk down the ladder that Joan of Arc had set up earlier when suddenly a voice rang out.

"Ah, it's coming. It's a little slower than I thought..."

Hearing the voice, Zhao Si scratched his head and said, then turned to look in the direction where the voice came from, with a smile on his face.

"Master, you are here."

As far as Zhao Si could see, he saw a group of black masters and servants. Some of them came for a purpose, while others were simply attracted by the previous battle between Zhao Si and Siegfried.

After hearing Zhao Si's response, Fiore first looked at Zhao Si, Siegfried and Gold with a worried look on her face, and then pushed the wheelchair to Zhao Si.

"Archer, what's going on? I heard from my uncle that you had a fight with Saber? Is this true?" Fiore said worriedly.

"Ah, this is indeed true..." Hearing this, Zhao Si glanced at Danic who was standing beside Vlad III, then said to Fiore with a smile.

Old man, you know your words are useless, so did you call Fiore over?

"Don't worry, Master. Saber and I just had a small conflict. We didn't fight seriously. It's okay." Seeing that Fiore looked a little worried, Zhao Si comforted her in a gentle voice.

"Really?" Hearing this, Fiore looked around...

"Of course, it couldn't be more true." Zhao Si said, at least that's what he thought. When he fought with Siegfried, he didn't even use his treasure. Wasn't it just a small fight?

As for the surrounding situation?

Come on, as an archer, isn't it normal for me to have a wider range and stronger attacks? Don't you agree? Gilgamesh? It's just standard operations, just a basic attack, nothing much to say.

After comforting Fiore, Zhao Si raised his head and looked towards the black camp, paying special attention to a certain guy.

"Archer, you shouldn't help Rider. That android is very important to me." Avisbron said, facing Zhao Si's gaze.

Before this, in addition to Siegfried, Avisbronn also took action to resist Zhao Si. Those puppets were his works. Of course, the one who wanted to capture the android boy the most was not Gold, but him.

"I understand, but what does that have to do with me?" Zhao Si tilted his head and said after hearing that.

"I don't have any obligation to stop the rider for you, do I?"

He knew that Avesbronn was a puppeteer, and that the android boy had awakened his self-awareness. This might have important research significance for Avesbronn, but what did it have to do with his desire to help the android boy?

His attitude was very clear from the beginning to the end. He never cared about his so-called teammates. He only cared about Fiore who summoned him. Apart from that, all his actions were based on his own preferences, and no one could tell him what to do.

Regarding this point, he believed that after the brief contact these days, these people should have understood it.

As expected, Avisbronn was not surprised by his answer. However, since it concerned his own research, he still said, "But you shouldn't help them stop the puppets that Saber and I sent."

"Whether it should be done or not is not up to you, caster," said Zhao Si.

"If I want to help, I will help naturally. It's a simple truth, isn't it?"

"...That's right." Upon hearing this, Avisbronn was silent for a while and nodded.

Indeed, there is nothing much to say. This strange man in front of him is said to have no need for the Holy Grail. In this case, he really does not need to consider their opinions and can act entirely according to his own ideas.

I believe that this is not only a headache for him now, but also for Danik beside him. People with this kind of personality will always be hidden unstable factors even if they are on their side.

Chapter 579 What the hell is this?

The incident ended with Avisbronn's concession. Although he wanted to continue to investigate the whereabouts of the android boy, it was undeniable that he was the only one present who cared about the android boy the most.

As for the others, whether it was Danic or Vlad III, they didn't even know what had happened or why Zhao Si and Siegfried were fighting.

After understanding the whole process of the incident, for them, no matter what purpose Avisbronn wanted to achieve with the help of the android boy, in the current context of the Holy Grail War, even a hundred android boys were not as important as Zhao Si, a heroic spirit who could compete with Siegfried.

After all, no matter how bad Zhao Si's current attitude is, at least Fiore is on their side, so Zhao Si will definitely continue to work for the black camp.

If the boy with the android were captured, what could Avisbronn discover in a short period of time? How would it affect the outcome of the Holy Grail War?

One is a powerful fighter that is actually available, and the other is a research that is not sure whether it will be helpful to the Holy Grail War. Unless you are stupid, I believe most people will choose the former without hesitation.

So, after Vlad III symbolically reprimanded Zhao Si, the Romanian king put an end to the matter in a forceful manner.

Of course, as a "punishment" for the private infighting, Vlad III also ordered Zhao Si to "capture" Astolfo, who also acted privately.

After making these arrangements, Vlad III and his party returned to the castle. Even though Avisbronn still had thoughts about the android boy in his heart, he had no choice but to leave.

At this point, the only ones left at the scene were Zhao Si, who was ordered to track down Astolfo, and Joan of Arc, who had watched the entire process and hadn't said a word except revealing her identity to the black camp.

And after this, the development

"I say, aren't you the referee? Is it really okay for you to walk so close to me?" Zhao Si said without turning his head while walking on the forest path.

"It is my duty to maintain the smooth progress of the Holy Grail War, but at the same time, when factors that may affect the world order appear in a Holy Grail War, then as a ruler, this is the original intention of my coming." Joan of Arc said slowly, not far behind Zhao Si.

"So is there any necessary connection between this and you following me?" Zhao Si turned around and asked curiously.

Since there are factors that influence the world, then go find them. Do you think you can find those factors that influence the world by just following me?

"Yes, my Lord has reflected the answer in my heart. Everything points in the same direction." Joan of Arc stopped, placed her hands on her chest, closed her eyes and said as if praying.

Then, in Zhao Si's surprised eyes, she pointed at him: "You."

"I?"

Pointing at himself, Zhao Si looked at Joan of Arc in confusion.

What the hell, factors that influence the world? Me? Are you kidding me?

Zhao Si didn't quite believe it. If it was his real body that was in this world right now, it would be fine. But how could a mere clone of himself, a master who had been reborn after the Holy Grail War, influence the world? How could Zhao Si, a clone of himself, achieve such a level of influence?

"Are you kidding?" Zhao Si asked doubtfully.

"Of course, since this is the true intention of our Lord, then it must not be wrong." Joan of Arc nodded and said, her eyes fixed on Zhao Si, her eyes serious but with a hint of curiosity.

"You are the one who has the greatest potential to change the world during this Holy Grail War. Therefore, in addition to ensuring the smooth progress of the Holy Grail War, my primary mission in this visit is to monitor your every move and ensure that you do not do anything that would affect the world."

"..."

Hearing this, Zhao Si wanted to say something, but looking at the girl's serious eyes, he knew that no matter what he said next, the girl would not change her opinion and decision on this matter.

People like this, once they make up their minds, nothing can change them even with ten oxen. It's just a waste of words to say more.

Hiss! This is completely off the mark. What went wrong?

Zhao Si thought about it and scratched his head in distress.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, Zhao Si's expression froze, and then he showed a suspicious look.

Could it be because of that...

The connected thoughts slowly withdrew, and in the room, Zhao Si opened his eyes and frowned.

"System, show me the status of the split spirit."

"Okay, master."

A crisp voice rang in my ears. After a recent small update, the system's voice had changed, and the name it addressed had changed from host to master. The overall intelligence seemed much more lively.
