This is the information about Zhao Si that Jeanne saw when using her class skill True Name Recognition. However, even though she was in the Ruler class and had B-level True Name Recognition, she could only see Zhao Si's true name, six-dimensional attributes, and class skills.
Like Fiore, she knew absolutely no details about Zhao Si's inherent skills and treasures.
It can even be said that Fiore may know more than her ruler. After all, Zhao Si once emphasized to her that under no circumstances should she use the Command Spell to order him to use the Noble Phantasm. This indirectly shows that the Noble Phantasm held by Zhao Si is very dangerous.
So in Joan of Arc's opinion, since Zhao Si proposed to take down the Sky Courtyard, does this mean that he has the ability to do so?
If it's really possible, then...
Taking a deep breath, Joan of Arc looked at Zhao Si seriously.
"What do you need me to do?"
Chapter 599 Compensation under Choice
As the night deepens, in the Castle of Mirenia, in Fiore's room.
"dong dong dong..."
Fiore was just about to lie down to rest, but there was a sudden knock on the door, which made her feel confused.
"Come in," Fiore said.
"squeak"
With the sound of the door opening, a figure that surprised Fiore slowly opened the door and entered her room.
"Archer?" Fiore said in surprise, looking at Zhao Si in front of her.
"It's so late, what's wrong?"
"Yes, there are some things." Zhao Si nodded.
"Is it about the next action? Oh, by the way, you were not here when we discussed it before. It doesn't matter. I will tell you about the discussion in detail." Hearing this, Fiore thought for a moment and said with a look of sudden realization.
"Regarding this, I met the ruler before, and that guy has already told me, so actually I already know what your plan is." Zhao Si said.
"I came to see you for something else."
"Oh... I understand. Then go ahead." Hearing this, Fiore nodded and looked at Zhao Si with curiosity.
On the other side, Zhao Si did not answer Fiore's question immediately. He went to the chair beside Fiore's bed and sat down, looking at the girl leaning on the back of the bed.
"Master, I remember you told me before that you wanted to obtain the Holy Grail because you wanted to heal your legs, right?" Zhao Si said.
"Ah? Yes, that's right, but why do you mention this?" Fiore was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Zhao Si to say this. She said with some confusion.
"If I say that I have a way to restore your legs to normal, will you believe me?" Zhao Si suddenly said.
"what?"
Hearing this, Fiore was stunned. She looked at Zhao Si, wondering if she had heard it wrong.
"Archer, are you saying that you can restore my ability to walk upright without relying on the power of the Holy Grail?" Fiore said to Zhao Si, with a hint of urgency in her words that she herself was not aware of.
"Yes." Zhao Si nodded.
"Although it won't be as effective as the Holy Grail, which can instantly allow you to stand up, as long as you take good care of yourself, you'll be able to stand on your own two legs within six months."
After saying that, Zhao Si looked at Fiore.
"Well? If you believe me, then we can start the first treatment now."
After hearing what Zhao Si said, Fiore looked at Zhao Si. The person in front of her was the servant she summoned. All along, the other party treated her with a very friendly attitude.
If the other party suddenly told her that he could cure her legs for some purpose, then to be honest, Fiore really couldn't imagine that a being that didn't even care about the Holy Grail would have any bad intentions towards her.
If it were someone else, Fiore might have been a little wary, but if it was Zhao Si, who had always been very easy-going, what was there to hesitate about?
Taking a deep breath, Fiore looked at Zhao Si expectantly: "I have always believed in you, Archer, please help me."
Hearing this, Zhao Si smiled. His idea of helping Fiore was indeed not motivated by any purpose, but was a casual decision he made within his ability. He had no intention of gaining any benefit from Fiore.
But now it seems that he still got some rewards from the other party, some good rewards, that is, the girl's trust. Isn't this a happy thing?
"Very good, then we will begin. You may feel a little uncomfortable later, so please bear with it."
Zhao Si said this, and then he put his hand on one of Fiore's calves without any hesitation, inputting a little of his own strength into it, exploring the situation inside Fiore's body.
"Well...."
Seeing this, Fiore was a little excited at first, as she had hope that her leg could be healed without the help of the Holy Grail. Then she saw Zhao Si's actions and subconsciously grabbed the quilt under her, holding her breath, for fear of making any sound and disturbing Zhao Si.
Although she couldn't move, Fiore's legs were not necrotic and she still had feeling in them. Then she felt a warm current flowing from Zhao Si's hand into her legs and running around in her legs.
"..."
If I were to describe the feeling, it would probably be like someone gently tickling the soles of your feet with a feather. It feels comfortable where the warm current flows through, but it also makes you feel a little itchy, and you instinctively want to stop it.
But Fiore knew that this should be the treatment that Zhao Si mentioned, so she could only endure the itchy feeling and wait for Zhao Si's treatment to end.
"Archer, why are you telling me this at this time?" Perhaps to divert attention, or perhaps out of genuine curiosity, Fiore asked with a slightly blushing face.
"Well... If you must explain why, just think of it as 'I think we have little chance of winning, and we may fail in the end and not get the Holy Grail, and your wish cannot be fulfilled, so I will help you realize your wish in advance while the Holy Grail War is still going on and I have not disappeared'. How about this explanation?" Zhao Si thought for a while and said.
"Uh...is this what you think? Archer, do you think we have no chance of winning?" Fiore was stunned when she heard that and said to Zhao Si.
However, Zhao Si's answer was completely different from before.
"Of course not. Maybe that was the idea before, but now, the scales of victory are tilting towards us." Zhao Si said, and added in his heart.
Although judging from the final result, it is actually no different from losing.
If Zhao Si wanted to meet the conditions for suppressing power, the most direct and permanent method he could think of was to destroy the Holy Grail directly.
Just like what was done before, perhaps the uncontaminated Holy Grail in this world line can really fulfill some simple wishes, but no matter what, in order to prevent someone from once again seeking the Holy Grail with the same wishes as people like Amakusa Shiro Tokisada or Emiya Kiritsugu, it would be better to directly destroy the source of this chaos to avoid any trouble.
So, his explanation to Fiore might have been mostly joking, but it also contained some of his considerations.
"Huh? Why do you say that? Could it be that Archer, you came up with some idea when you were discussing it with the ruler before?" Hearing Zhao Si's words that seemed to be sure of victory, Fiore said in surprise without caring about the feeling on her legs.
"That is indeed a good idea for me and even for the ruler." Zhao Si said. After all, the goal of both of them is to stop Amakusa Shiro and Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc did not object to Zhao Si's attempt to destroy the Holy Grail.
So, consider healing your leg as compensation for losing the possibility of obtaining the Holy Grail.
Looking at Fiore in front of him, Zhao Si thought in his heart.
Chapter 600: Crusade.
Although Zhao Si's plan was to take down the aerial courtyard, he still needed some time to prepare before actually realizing it.
Before that, the black side encountered another issue that had to be dealt with.
"Jack the Ripper?"
This was the name Joan heard from Fiore the next day when she was called by Fiore and asked for her help because of a serious incident.
Although it was the first time she heard it, Joan of Arc hesitated for a moment before reacting instantly. She said in surprise, "That's not..."
"Yes, that was our black side's assassin, or rather, it was originally him." The person who responded was Fiore's younger brother, Colles Fulvig Eugdomirenia, who was also the Berserker's Master.
"That means, including magicians, Jack the Ripper has killed dozens of people so far, and they are all people who have nothing to do with the Holy Grail War." Hearing this, Joan of Arc looked at the newspaper on the table in front of her. The news published on it was a serious and unsolved serial murder case.
This is why Fiore invited Joan of Arc. While various situations were happening on their side, Jack the Ripper, who was already independent of the black and red sides, was not idle and had been active in Tulipas.
It was not until today that the people on the black side noticed the other side's actions. What they did not expect was that the other side was so cruel and brutally killed so many people.
To be honest, even though the Holy Grail War was in full swing, with light cannons, sky courtyards, and all sorts of other conspicuous things, it was indeed happening in sparsely populated areas, and ordinary people did not notice the existence of the Holy Grail War. This was in line with the rule that the Holy Grail War must not be exposed to the eyes of ordinary people.
However, the current situation is that Jack the Ripper killed dozens of people, including magicians, without considering the consequences, and this also attracted media coverage. This has violated the rules of the Holy Grail War and has reached a point where it must be dealt with.
"Yes, and there were eight more people last night. We have lost contact with our people in Tulipas. They are probably..." Fiore didn't finish her words, but the meaning of her words was very clear.
It is estimated that those tribesmen have been killed by Jack the Ripper.
"So I would like to entrust you to handle this matter, Ruler. Although it is a bit embarrassing, our Eugene Domirenia family no longer has the energy to deal with this matter." Fiore looked at Joan of Arc and said.
Most of Mirenia Castle was destroyed by the Red Team's Berserker's Noble Phantasm, and they currently have no extra manpower to deal with this matter.
And even if there are spare manpower, incidents like this caused by heroic spirits can only be resolved by heroic spirits.
But the current situation of the black side is that Vlad III has returned to the Throne of Heroes, Avisbronn has rebelled, Jack the Ripper is the culprit, Siegfried sacrificed himself to save Sieg, and there are only Zhao Si, Frankenstein and Astolfo left on the black side among the seven servants.
Considering that there is still a tough battle ahead, Fiore has no choice but to ask Jeanne, the ruler, for help.
"In order to prevent more people from being killed by the assassin, Ruler, we have no choice but to trouble you." Fiore said.
"I understand, please don't worry." Joan of Arc nodded and said after hearing this.
"As a ruler, I have the obligation to punish servants who involve unrelated people."
"That's great. Thank you so much, ruler. To be honest, I was worried that such a request would violate your duties as a ruler." Hearing this, Fiore finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your great help." Colles on the side also stood up and said, and then he placed some materials he had prepared in advance in front of Joan of Arc.
"These are the locations of the missing magicians we collected. If we go there, we might find something," said Colles.
After saying this, he seemed to recall something and looked at Jeanne and said, "This may seem a little rude to you, but if possible, I hope you can try to control the time within three days, because it will take three days to complete the preparations for the Hanging Gardens, and this is the only time left."
"I understand. I will handle it as soon as possible." Joan of Arc nodded after hearing this, but while speaking, she secretly looked at Zhao Si who was sitting next to Fiore and seemed to be in a trance.
According to the original plan, they might indeed need these three days to prepare, but now...
Back here, considering that Mordred had fought with Jack the Ripper in Tulipas, the other party should know more about Jack the Ripper, so Fiore also invited Lion Jie Li and the other person who had not left Mirenia Castle yet.
At this moment, after listening to Fiore's description, Lion Jie Li quickly guessed her intention. He just nodded. He had no objection to dealing with Jack the Ripper.
"If efficiency is the priority, then let Saber go along. After all, we've had contact with Assassin before, and we know some of her abilities..."
As he was speaking, Lion Jie Jie Li suddenly stopped, his mouth open, as if the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.
"....Saber, do you still remember the matter about the black assassin?" After a moment's silence, Lion Jie Jieli suddenly looked at Mordred beside him with a serious face.
"Huh? How could I not remember something like that...?!"
When Modred heard this, she was about to tell some information about Jack the Ripper, but her mind was blank and her face suddenly changed.
"...I don't remember!" Mordred also put away his expression and said with a frown.
"Even you don't remember? Well, it seems that the assassin on the black side may have the ability to make people forget her information." Seeing this, Shizi Jiejieli did not feel panicked. He quickly guessed a possibility.
"Besides me, that guy was also present at the time. Why not ask him?" Modred looked at Zhao Si and said.
Upon hearing this, everyone present focused their attention on Zhao Si, who seemed to be in a trance.
"Hmm? What?"
With everyone's gaze focused on him and Fiore quietly pulling at his clothes under the table, Zhao Si finally came to his senses and looked at everyone with a confused expression.
After he heard the situation from Fiore, Zhao Si carefully recalled the situation about Jack the Ripper, and then an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
"How? Do you remember?" Fiore asked.
"Well, maybe he really has such an ability, but I didn't even remember it." Zhao Si said, but there was a bit of ease in his words, as if he felt amused that he would also be affected by the other party's ability.
"This..." Upon hearing this, Fiore's face showed a solemn expression.
And just then.
"But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether she remembers it or not. As long as we find her again, it won't matter whether we remember it or not. As long as we kill her once and for all, it won't matter what happens." Zhao Si suddenly said.
After saying this, he turned to look at Joan of Arc, his eyes seemed to contain a different meaning.
"If we want to fight, it would be safer if I could go with Joan of Arc," Zhao Si said.
