"Aren't you taking care of your new Master? What? Is that kid okay?"

Looking at Astolfo who was coming to his side, Zhao Si glanced at a room not far from them and said.

Yes, new Master. Originally, with the Master's death, Astolfo, as a Servant, should have left the scene. However, if the Master had reasons to sign a contract with her, then she could still stay.

"Coincidentally", a Command Seal suddenly appeared on the hand of the android boy, and he became the Master chosen by the Holy Grail.

After Siegfried sacrificed himself to save the android boy, the boy woke up and formed a master-servant contract with Astolfo, becoming her new master.

So, everything happens for a reason. Zhao Si had always thought that the appearance of the Command Seal on the android boy's hand must be a foreshadowing of something, and it came true not long after.

"It's okay. There haven't been any adverse reactions so far. Sieg is asleep now." Astolfo said.

Sieg, this is the name the boy, the android, gave himself after he woke up and learned that Siegfried had saved him. It was a way of expressing gratitude to the hero.

"Oh, I see." Hearing this, Zhao Si nodded.

Although he was a little surprised when he first heard about this, for Zhao Si, Sieg was not someone worth caring about after all. He initially helped him only because he was an artificial human like Irisviel. Now that Astolfo said that everything was fine, Zhao Si would not ask about the other party.

"I'm leaving."

Zhao Si didn't want to have too much communication with Astolfo, this annoying guy, so he turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey! Wait, wait! Where are you going? Can you take me with you?" Seeing this, Astolfo immediately followed and said.

"What's wrong? Why should I take you with me wherever I go? You should know that we are not familiar with each other." Glancing at him, Zhao Si said with some disgust.

"Ah, you actually said that? That's too much!" Astolfo said with a hurt expression after hearing that.

However, Zhao Si ignored him. As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from Astolfo's sight and turned into a spirit and ran away.

Chapter 597 Saint and Witch

This is inside a magnificent church. A pious saint is kneeling under a sculpture whose face cannot be seen clearly. Her hands are clasped together, as if she is praying to the Lord she believes in.

At this moment, another voice suddenly sounded in the church, with a hint of impatience in the words.

"Hey, the situation outside seems a little bad, what are you going to do next?"

Inside the church, sitting on the seat behind the saint, a woman with long white hair hugged her chest and spoke.

It was clearly a magnificent church, but the woman's figure happened to be shrouded in a shadow area, making it impossible to see her face. One could only see her pale hair and her jet-black armor.

Compared to the holy and pious saint, the white-haired woman seemed like a rebellious witch.

Hearing the witch's words, the saint seemed to have known about the witch's existence for a long time and was not surprised at all by her existence.

"Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, he violated the rules of the Holy Grail War. The dead cannot interfere with the living. I must stop him." said the Saint.

"Stop talking nonsense. The question is how are you going to stop him?" The witch waved her hand.

"The assassin on the black side, that woman is really good at it. She created something like the sky courtyard. You said you wanted to stop the ruler, but in my opinion, you guys probably can't even get close to the sky courtyard." Leaning back, the witch spoke sarcastically, with an attitude of not caring about anything.

"Regarding this, this era has its own unique wisdom. Humans already have tools that allow them to soar into the sky. With the help of such tools, I think it won't be a big problem to catch up with Amakusa Shiro, Tokisada, and the others." Upon hearing this, the saint replied.

"....Hmph! So what? Even if they really catch up, looking at your configuration, it won't be very likely that you can defeat the red team. In the end, won't you still be unable to stop Amakusa Shirou Tokisada?" The witch continued with a cold snort.

"...So what? What do you want to say?" The saint said, then she stood up, looked back at the witch, and said helplessly.

She also came to her senses. This witch was not communicating with her normally at all. She was just arguing with herself. No matter what she said, she could always find a way to refute her.

If there is no other purpose behind this, she just doesn't believe it.

"Haha, it's very simple."

Hearing this, and seeing that the Saint already knew her thoughts, the Witch smiled and stood up, slowly walked out of the shadow area, and came to the Saint.

Under the light, the saint and the witch were fighting against each other, staring at each other's face that was exactly the same as their own.

"Let me go out. When we really meet face to face, let me control the body. If it were me, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada would definitely not be my opponent." The witch smiled and slowly expressed her intention.

Yes, that's what she thought. The saint and the witch were actually coexisting in the same host body. Under normal circumstances, for some reasons, the saint had always been in control of the body, while the witch who came with her could only stay in the body and be a spectator with the original owner of the body.

How can this be possible? The witch said that we all came here together, why do you have the right to appear in the scene? I want it too!

"...You should understand that who controls the body is not something that can be changed according to our will in essence." Upon hearing this, the saint did not expect the other party to be so cautious, and could only say helplessly.

"In the final analysis, the reason why I'm the one controlling this body between us right now is because I'm more suited to the Ruler class, and you, you don't seem to be qualified to be a Ruler right now, right? So..."

"Who cares about this? I just want to go out. I'm almost suffocating to death staying here and watching without being able to go out!" Before the saint could finish her words, the witch spoke as if she was playing tricks.

"Who else do you look down on? We are both Joan of Arc, but you can be the ruler, but I can't?" The witch said with her eyes wide open.

Although her current class is Avenger, who can guarantee that she can't adapt to the Ruler class? Hilarious!

"...In that case, then fine, if you think you can do it, then it wouldn't hurt to let you try." Hearing this, he knew the other party's character very well. If she didn't let the witch try, she would not give up.

"Humph!"

The witch showed a victorious smile on her face, and then she looked towards the other side of the church.

There, there was a blonde girl in uniform. Her name was Leticia. She was the person that Joan of Arc possessed during this Holy Grail War, and she was also the original owner of the body.

"Then Leticia, I will control your body from now on, is that okay?" said the witch. Although she was a witch, she was also a well-educated witch, so she would naturally say hello before using someone else's body.

"Uh, well, it doesn't matter. Just make up your mind." Hearing this, Leticia waved her hand and said, since she accepted Joan of Arc's possession at the beginning, she naturally accepted the existence of the witch.

To be honest, she might still feel more familiar with the witch than the holy saint? After all, when the saint controlled the body, she was the one communicating with the witch in this world of consciousness.

So, naturally, she had no objection to the witch wanting to control her body.

"Very good, then next..."

Hearing this, the witch nodded, then closed her eyes and tried to communicate with the spiritual base that brought her and the saint to this world.

For Zhao Si, even if there was no such thing happening on the main body's side, he would most likely participate in stopping Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

After all, although Zhao Si doesn't care about this kind of thing, it is impossible for Fiore not to want to obtain the Holy Grail, whether for herself or for the Eugledomilenia clan.

Of course, although they are both involved, their attitudes and seriousness are definitely different. Originally, it would probably be over after a few fights, and they would just try to replace one or two enemy units.

Now, if the situation really comes that he is unable to defeat the enemy, Zhao Si might consider using the treasure that he has always been wary of.

In short, no matter how, he must destroy Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's plan. He finally got the news about Illya and Sajo Aika, and he didn't want to miss it.

So the most urgent thing is to see how other people are discussing and whether they have made any decent plans.

While thinking, Zhao Si walked on the road leading to the meeting room. Suddenly, a familiar laugh came from a room somewhere in front, carrying a kind of cathartic joy.

"Hahahaha! I did it! Hahaha! Beep! Hahaha!"

Zhao Si: ???

This voice...does it sound familiar?

Zhao Si paused and listened to the voice, a figure appearing in his mind.

"Shh, shouldn't it be? She doesn't seem like the type to say something like that, does she?"

Zhao Si shook his head. Although the voice sounded similar, the words did not match the impression he had of the person.

But if it wasn't her, then who could it be?

With such doubts, Zhao Si quietly went to the room where the sound came from. Although there were no windows on the wall facing the corridor, the door was not closed tightly...

Out of curiosity, Zhao Si gently opened the gap between the door and the door frame little by little, and finally, the owner of the loud laughter came into his sight.

"?"

Looking at Joan of Arc who was standing in the room with her hands on her hips and talking to herself in the mirror, Zhao Si was really surprised.

Joan of Arc? It’s really her!

Chapter 598 Another possibility

""

Inside the room, Zhao Si and Joan of Arc sat opposite each other. Neither of them spoke to each other, and the room was filled with a silent and awkward atmosphere.

Joan of Arc lowered her head, placed her hands on her knees, and clutched the hem of her skirt tightly. She looked as if she felt extremely ashamed after others discovered her hidden side.

"ruler?"

The silence always has to be broken by someone. After a moment of silence, Zhao Si spoke up, breaking the silent atmosphere.

"Ah? Yes, yes, Archer, what's the matter?" After Zhao Si called out a few times, Joan of Arc finally came back to her senses, with a slight blush on her face, and said embarrassedly.

"Yes, there are some things, but judging from your expression, could it be because of what happened just now..."

"Stop! Archer, although it is very rude, please stop for a moment and don't talk about what happened just now." Before Zhao Si finished speaking, Joan of Arc suddenly interrupted him, and then she lowered her head again, as if she had just done something shameful.

Ah, how could this happen? She actually succeeded in controlling her body. Why did this happen?

It would be fine if she succeeded, but why, why did Archer just happen to pass by?! This is really...

When she thought about how the witch had posed in front of the mirror and said all sorts of unspeakable words, all of which were seen and heard by others, even with Joan of Arc's personality, she felt a strong sense of shame in her heart, making her unable to calm down for a long time.

"Uh..."

Seeing this, Zhao Si scratched his head. To be honest, although he was indeed a little surprised when he saw it at first, after coming to his senses, Zhao Si felt that there was actually nothing to be surprised about.

Joan of Arc may be a saint, but so what? Wasn't she just a young girl in her lifetime? It's normal for her to have some personality of her own. What's so surprising about that?

Well, it is said that Joan of Arc was originally a country girl. As a country girl, isn’t it normal for her to swear a few times?

I just don't know what happened that could make Joan of Arc disregard her dignity as a saint and swear. To be honest, Zhao Si is more interested in this now.

Of course, considering the other party's current situation, it seems that this matter cannot be brought up again, and Zhao Si can only hide this curiosity in his heart.

Now that we have put aside the trivial matters, it’s time to talk about business.

Originally, Zhao Si just wanted to see what Joan of Arc and the others were discussing. Now that Joan of Arc has returned to her room, the discussion is probably over. Zhao Si doesn't need to look for others and can just ask Joan of Arc directly.

"Ruler, did you come to any conclusion from your previous discussion?" Zhao Si asked Joan of Arc.

"Previous discussion..."

Hearing this and seeing that Zhao Si was talking about serious matters, Joan of Arc forced herself to forget what had just happened and raised her head.

"Well, we plan to use planes to approach the Sky Courtyard, and then act accordingly," said Joan of Arc.

"No matter what, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada must be stopped. His actions have violated the rules of the Holy Grail War."

"Let's act according to the circumstances?" Zhao Si said.

"There's no other way. After all, no matter what method we use, the heroic spirits over there are a hurdle we must overcome." Joan of Arc said helplessly.

Ultimately, after reaching the Sky Garden, everything will depend on the hard power of both sides. This is the case with the Holy Grail War. The key to victory or defeat has always been and only one, and that is the power possessed by the Heroic Spirit.

"That's true, but let's be honest, the Sky Courtyard is the enemy's base camp. If we really want to go in and fight with Amakusa Shiro, Tokisada and the others, don't you think it's a very risky thing?" Zhao Si said.

Fighting in enemy territory is always a very risky thing, because you have no idea what kind of "surprises" the enemy has prepared for you inside.

If Zhao Si's attitude remained the same as before, he wouldn't have considered the risks involved and would have just done it. But now, in order to get information about Illya and Satiao Aige, he had to consider the risks involved and whether there were other solutions.

"It's a bit risky, but this is our only choice at the moment. The other choice is to sit back and watch and let Amakusa Shiro Tokisada use the Holy Grail to fulfill his wish. But I can't choose to sit back and watch. I exist to stop him." Jeanne said firmly.

"...Well, that's true..." Zhao Si nodded. Not only Joan of Arc, but he too would not sit idly by and watch Amakusa Shiro and Tokisada fulfill his naive fantasy of "saving all mankind". He would definitely do his best to stop him.

In the final analysis, unless they can take down the Sky Courtyard, there is not much room for choice for them...

Um, wait, knock down the Sky Courtyard?

"...By the way, have you ever thought about another possibility?" After thinking for a while, Zhao Si suddenly said.

"Another...possibility?" Joan of Arc was stunned when she heard this.

"Archer, do you have a better idea?"

"I have some ideas, but I'm not sure. I can only say that it's worth a try, and it may require your help." Zhao Si said. He looked at Joan of Arc and slowly expressed the somewhat unreliable idea.

"We can try to take down the Sky Courtyard."

"Take down the Sky Courtyard...?!"

Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc was stunned at first, then looked at Zhao Si in some surprise.

Knock down the sky garden?

Does Archer have any way to do this? Or does he have a Noble Phantasm that can do this?

To be honest, if possible, Joan of Arc also wants to take down the Hanging Gardens, but the prerequisite is that she can do it.

Semiramis's Hanging Courtyard is an EX-level anti-world Noble Phantasm. To take it down, it is no longer possible to release an ordinary Noble Phantasm. Probably only a Noble Phantasm of the same specifications can shoot it down.

Unfortunately, although the heroic spirits on their side are quite powerful, they are indeed inferior in terms of Noble Phantasms. At least so far, no one except Zhao Si has proposed the idea of ​​taking down the Sky Courtyard.

As for whether Zhao Si can do this...
