Their commission was suspicious.

Hearing this, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, because he had never intended to give Jeanne Alter the Golden Command Seal, so this condition did not apply.

"Aside from that, I don't have any major disputes with her. In the end, it's just a business relationship between a merchant and a buyer." Jeanne Alter now sees things quite clearly.

"Of course, that's true, but when she actually appears in front of me, I'll definitely stab her a few more times. Humph, you shrewd businessman!"

Seeing that Jeanne Alter didn't seem to have much of a problem with his identity as a cunning merchant... the magical girl Teriri, Chen Luo felt a sense of relief.

Chen Luo thought about it and realized that he had never actually wronged Joan of Arc.

Even without Chen Luo, Jeanne d'Arc Alter would still lose.

Now, Chen Luo has at least taught Jeanne d'Arc how to write and how to read.

"To be honest, I've never even met her, and I'm really curious about what the magical girl Teriri looks like. Although Teriri is a bit of a shrewd businesswoman, her compliments are quite lovely." Jeanne didn't hold back in praising one of Teriri's strengths.

If she could actually meet Teriri, that cunning merchant, after stabbing her a few times, Jeanne Alter might say thank you, since without the Silver Command Seals, she might have lost even more miserably.

Moreover, chatting with the magical girl Teriri was quite enjoyable, even though she kept coveting her Fafnir, at least she didn't try to force me to buy it. (So said Jeanne Alter, who has no friends to this day)

Jeanne Alter was facing only two Servants and one Master—Gudako, Jeanne d'Arc, and Mash—and still lost. So Jeanne Alter had nothing to complain about.

At least Jeanne Alter did not see any trace of unscrupulous merchants helping them in these two Servants.

Of course, the premise of stabbing that unscrupulous merchant a few times and then thanking her is that I can come back alive after going to the singularity...

"Oh, by the way, what was the biggest problem we encountered that you mentioned earlier?" Zhen asked.

"Yes." Chen Luo gently stroked the hair of Mebius, whose head was resting on his lap.

"Then I'll wake her up."

"No!" Chen Luo quickly stopped him.

Mebius finally fell asleep, why did you wake him up?

"Snap!" Chen Luozhao summoned a puppet.

"Let me introduce myself. I am a puppeteer, and I can attach my consciousness to puppets. Now, this puppet will take you to the First Singularity," Chen Luo said, pointing to the puppet.

"No." As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, Joan of Arc refused without any politeness.

"Why?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I don't know. I don't know why, but just looking at this doll makes me want to punch it." Jeanne d'Arc shook her head as she looked at the thousand-man Herrscher doll in front of her.

"Hiss, you feel that way too? That doesn't make sense." Chen Luo said, somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, even if this thousand-person Herrscher puppet is meant to be sarcastic, it hasn't even spoken yet, so why is it already being disliked?

If the thousand-person Herrscher doll keeps its mouth shut, it has a good figure and a good appearance. Apart from the black cloth covering its eyes, there is nothing wrong with it.

"I just don't want it." Joan of Arc shook her head.

If it were Jeanne d'Arc in excellent condition, she might not be so emotional, but Jeanne d'Arc Jr. is more emotional.

"Then this is the only way... Wait a moment." Chen Luo sighed, pulled a hair from his head, and gently blew on it.

"Bang!" A strand of hair that had been lengthened by the [Hair Growth Spell] transformed into a miniature Chen Luo and floated in the air.

"A clone of the inner demon? You can create that too? Why didn't you bring it out sooner? Come here, let me hug you." Upon seeing Little Chen Luo appear, before Chen Luo and Little Jeanne could explain, the Herrscher of Knowledge grabbed Little Chen Luo and rubbed her face against him.

"If you can create a demonic clone, why can't I?" Chen Luo retorted.

Inner demons are such convenient creatures; creating clones is as easy as playing with them.

The Herrscher of Consciousness once created a demonic clone. When Chen Luo first went to the Honkai World and fought monsters in Changkong City, the Herrscher of Consciousness wanted to go to Schicksal once, so she left a small Herrscher of Consciousness (a demonic clone) for Chen Luo.

The inner demon clone is different from ordinary clones. Other clones create a container and then divide the soul into parts. Once the soul is divided, it is very difficult to get it back. Either the clone is destroyed and the original soul is damaged, or the clone betrays the original and causes trouble.

The inner demon clone is different. It's like taking a piece of clay, shaping it into the same shape as the original clay, and then kneading it back into the original clay when the original body needs it or when the time is up.

Compared to the puppets Chen Luo made, the more wonderful thing about this clone is that the inner demon clone has almost all of Chen Luo's abilities, only the strength has been reduced to 1/10, or even less.

The clone created by the Herrscher of Knowledge was 1/10 the strength of the original body, but Chen Luo's clone was created hastily, so it was at most 1/20.

There are many benefits to having a demon clone. As a demon clone of Chen Luo with many methods, Little Chen Luo also possesses a variety of methods.

Furthermore, the inner demon clone doesn't develop independent thought; it's like Chen Luo controlling two accounts—one person controlling two puppets. Even if the inner demon clone is destroyed, it will recover after a period of rest.

However, the drawback is also obvious: before the inner demon clone is summoned back, Chen Luo cannot reclaim the memory (consciousness) occupied by the inner demon clone. This is because the inner demon clone itself is an embodiment of consciousness.

Fortunately, thanks to the teleportation anchor point, Chen Luo wasn't worried about losing his inner demon clone.

The inner demon clone can also freely use teleportation anchors, which is why Chen Luo sent the inner demon clone and Little Jeanne to the First Singularity.

Even if Chen Luo transferred his consciousness to the other puppets, using the teleportation anchor would be quite troublesome.

"Let me confirm first, do you want to go to the First Singularity or the place you were in before you were summoned here?" Chen Luo asked.

“Go to the place where I was summoned,” Joan of Arc replied immediately.

If she can't return to where she left off, why would Joan of Arc go back? Just to catch a glimpse of the singularity's end?

"Then please wait a moment." Chen Luo said, giving Xiao Chen Luo a look.

In fact, the communication between Chen Luo and Xiao Chen Luo didn't need to be so complicated, but Chen Luo, as a human being, still maintained his original habits.

After receiving Chen Luo's order, Little Chen Luo struggled for a long time to break free from the clutches of the Herrscher of Knowledge. Then, he floated in the air, bowed slightly, and disappeared from the spot.

"Lolo, can you make me a clone too? I want a demon clone as well." The Herrscher of Knowledge ran to Chen Le's side.

"Me too! Me too!" Kaguya Houraisan, now shrunk, also came over to join in the fun, but Chen Luo chased them both away at the same time.

"I can only create one demon clone at a time."

"You're lying, I can make four at the same time." The Lawbringer didn't believe it.

“I’m not you. You’re the Herrscher of Knowledge, the Demon of the Heart, and the Nightmare. How can I compare to you? After all, you are the great Lady Xiaoshi,” Chen Luo said.

"Hiss, that makes sense... But even if you can't do four, you can at least do two, right? Just give me one." The Lawbringer of Knowledge persisted.

Those who understand the laws are indeed easier to deceive, but not that easily.

"If it can't be done, it can't be done."

Even if Chen Luo could do it, he wouldn't give it to her.

Because the relationship between this inner demon clone and the original body is one of empathy.

When Chen Luo's power is weak, he feels very insecure, especially when the one manipulating him is the Herrscher of Knowledge, his sense of security drops even further.

When the inner demon clone is unable to use various tools, it can handle some ordinary situations, but when faced with difficult cases like the Herrscher of Knowledge, it has no power to fight back at all.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

But Chen Luo eventually gave in.

Chen Luo's current limit is the same as that of the Herrscher of Consciousness: four inner demon clones. He can create more, but controlling them would be a bit chaotic.

For those two hundred raw stones, Chen Luo had no choice but to humble himself and be treated as a plaything by the Lawbringer.

While Demon No. 2 was being toyed with, Demon No. 1, after being teleported to the First Singularity via the teleportation anchor, began to use the Herrscher of the Void's abilities to teleport non-stop, determined to reach Jeanne Alter's headquarters—Castlevania—as soon as possible.

With Chen Luo's live stream permissions confirming his location, it took Heart Demon No. 1 three minutes to successfully reach the outside of the prison city.

The first inner demon only possesses 1/10 of Chen Luo's Herrscher of the Void powers, which is far too slow for traveling.

Meanwhile, in Dracula's Castle, Gudako and her friends began their final battle.

Because of Gilles de Rais's arrival, Jeanne Alter gave up her resistance and fell into a deep sleep. After Jeanne Alter's death, the Holy Grail fell into the hands of its true owner, Gilles de Rais.

The Dragon Witch is Gildre's long-cherished wish, which is the Holy Grail.

Because of the power of the Holy Grail, the Dragon Witch, a Servant who does not exist in the Throne of Heroes, can exist.

However, even before her death, the Dragon Witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter did not know the truth. If she had known the truth, she wouldn't have signed a contract of servitude with Chen Luo for a mere silver Command Seal.

Even though the real Joan of Arc was right in front of him, Gilles de Rais still hadn't given up on his idea of ​​destroying the country.

Even though Joan of Arc herself did not harbor resentment towards her fate, Gilles de Rais harbored deep hatred for the country.

After setting up a teleportation anchor outside the prison city, guided by the Demon One, Joan of Arc was successfully teleported back.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Looking at the familiar Castlevania before her, Joan of Arc finally felt like she was coming home.

However, Joan of Arc's body, which seemed so fragile it could be blown away by a gust of wind, made her feel increasingly weak.

The bar sustains Jeanne d'Arc's life, but this "Jeanne d'Arc" mode is a result of her severe injuries, so it's perfectly normal that she will disappear after leaving the bar.

"Hey, you have magic now, right?" Little Joan of Arc turned to look at the even smaller Chen Luo beside her.

The size of Demon No. 1 is now not much larger than the figure. It was originally about one and a half the size of Fufu (Hatsune Miku limited edition), but after continuously using the power of the Herrscher of the Void, its body has shrunk a little.

“I do have some, but what do you want to do with it? I don’t have much magic power in my body.” Chen Luo looked at Joan of Arc warily.

“Sign a contract with me and provide me with magic,” Joan of Arc said.

If she doesn't acquire magic soon, Joan of Arc won't just end up in prison; she'll simply dissipate on her own.

"You want to become my servant?"

"No, just sign a contract and provide magic."

"You want to get something for free?"

"Yes." Joan of Arc nodded.

"How could you say something like that? Do you really think someone would just provide you with magic power without asking for Command Seals? Let me tell you something: no one in this world can accept being taken advantage of..."

"Please, please." That was all Joan of Arc could do at that moment.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

“A normal person would never accept being taken advantage of, but I am a demon, I am not human, so it’s no problem.” Chen Luo reached out his hand to Joan of Arc.

Chapter 1025 The Holy Grail costs nine pounds fifteen...

"Stop sucking, stop sucking! You only have enough magic for your basic living and survival. You're draining me dry." Xiao Chenluo floated in the air like a salted fish.

"But my body hasn't returned to normal yet," said Jeanne Alter, glancing at her body, which was less than three-quarters of her original height.

The young Jeanne d'Arc was about half the height of the dark Jeanne d'Arc, and the current dark Jeanne d'Arc can neither be considered the complete version of the dark Jeanne d'Arc nor the young Jeanne d'Arc; she can only be described as... the middle Jeanne d'Arc.

"But my body has become very small now," Chen Luo complained, his height now reduced to three-quarters of its original size.

Chen Luo wasn't originally known for his abundant magical power; he was known for his many magical items.

Although Chen Luo's magical power had increased considerably due to the long-term cultivation with the Eye of the Elements, Little Chen Luo only received 1/20 of his magical power, as it was enough.

Before his magic was drained by Jeanne Alter, Chen Luo had spent a great deal of magic power traveling from a very far place to the prison city...

"I don't have any combat ability right now. Can I absorb a little more?" Jeanne Alter said, turning her head.

"No way!" Chen Luo refused outright.

Chen Luo also needs to consider his own safety, and Jeanne d'Arc Alter's free movement also requires the consumption of magic power, which Chen Luo will have to continue to bear...

"Just a heads-up, if you don't go in now, it might be too late," Chen Luo warned.

"That's true..." After realizing this, Jeanne Alter quickly ran towards the inner part of the prison city.

"Wait for me..." Xiao Chen Luofei rushed up while still in the air.

"Too slow." Jeanne d'Arc (Black) scooped Chen Luo into her arms and ran towards the prison city.

"It's so stuffy! Let me sit on your head! Your shoulders are fine too!" Chen Luo felt a little uncomfortable as two giant mountains pressed down on him.

……

"Ugh, why are there so many guards in this dilapidated prison city? And why are they attacking me?" Jeanne Alter said with considerable annoyance, looking at the skeleton soldiers blocking her way.

"Because not a single drop of magic power within you is your own, nor is any of it from the Holy Grail; it's all mine," Chen Luo said irritably, sitting on Jeanne d'Arc Alter's shoulder.

The Shadow Servants and Jeanne Alter, who were summoned by the forced contract, were in a state in the bar where they had only a little bit of magical power left.

There isn't even a health bar, because as a Servant, magical power and health are shared.

Jeanne Alter's remaining drop of magical power was being consumed after she was brought to this singularity. Only when it was almost completely depleted did Jeanne Alter renew her contract with Chen Luo and receive a supply of magical power.

It's no exaggeration to say that Jeanne Alter's body is now filled with Chen Luo's magic.

These skeleton soldiers are just regular monsters in the prison city. They don't have brains, so how could they recognize people?
