Their commission was suspicious.

It's definitely a magical reaction.

Chen Luo watched as Black Jeanne struggled to get back to her home and fell into deep thought.

Serves you right, who told you to deploy so many skeleton soldiers in the prison city?

But why should I use my magic to resolve the sins you committed?

"You should lend a hand, don't just stand there watching," Jeanne d'Arc Alter said to Chen Luo while using her gun to deal with the skeleton soldiers.

"I'm just emergency food, and you actually let emergency food fight for you? Don't you have a heart?" Chen Luo looked at Black Jeanne in surprise.

"Emergency food..."

“That’s right. I was originally made from a single strand of hair, so my weight was very small. The reason I can grow this big now is simply because of magic. The more magic you use, the less magic I have. Sooner or later, I will turn back into a single strand of hair.” Chen Luo said, with his foot resting on Jeanne d’Arc’s shoulder.

The inner demon is formless and without will, so the hair that was plucked when the inner demon body was transformed cannot be completely counted as hair. It just means that the amount of the body occupied by the inner demon No. 1 was only that much.

Therefore, Chen Luo's statement that he couldn't create more demonic clones was merely a way to fool the Lawbringer of Consciousness, and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Xiao Chenluo, whose body is 99% made of magic, is indeed an emergency food for Jeanne d'Arc Alter, who uses magic as her blood and food. Moreover, Jeanne d'Arc Alter has been eating him non-stop.

Jeanne Alter has been using magic, which has caused Chen Luo's body to shrink little by little. Although Jeanne Alter has tried her best to conserve magic, the fact that her body is shrinking is undeniable.

"It sounds... kind of disgusting." Jeanne Alter was quite disgusted by Chen Luo's suggestion of emergency food.

"On the one hand, you complain that my words are disgusting, but on the other hand, you genuinely use my magic. You're really hypocritical," Xiao Chenluo sneered.

"Thank you..." Jeanne Alter said softly.

Even though it was just a clone in front of her, it would quickly perish because of her, which made Jeanne d'Arc Alter, who did not understand the principle of the inner demon clone, feel a little guilty.

"What did you say? Speak louder, I can't hear you!"

"I said shut up! What's wrong with using a little bit of your magic?" Jeanne Alter said angrily.

……

"How could this be? Even with the power of the Holy Grail, victory couldn't be achieved? Impossible! I refuse to accept such an unreasonable result! I haven't even..." Gilles, who possessed the Holy Grail, ultimately failed in the battle.

However, Gilles's defeat was not unjustified. Gilles only had one Servant, while the other side had four Servants: Mash, Jeanne d'Arc, Elizabeth, and Kiyohime.

Of course, Gilles lost even more because he couldn't use the Holy Grail more effectively. Although he was a magician, Gilles' magical skill wasn't high; he held that class largely due to his special Noble Phantasm.

Simply put, Gilles's limit restricts the upper limit of the Holy Grail.

If King Arthur had the Holy Grail, with his Noble Phantasm spamming and Avalon's attacks, it would be a miracle if any of you here won.

"Gildre, that's enough, it's all over now. Go and rest. You... you've already done your best." Looking at Gilles de Rey, whose expression was somewhat frantic, Joan of Arc, the savior of the nation, slowly stepped forward.

“You were willing to believe in me, a naive young girl, and help me liberate this city and this country. No matter what you have become now, I still believe in you who were willing to help me back then.”

"It's alright. I had no regrets until the very end. If my body can pave the way for those who come after me, I will be satisfied."

Joan of Arc, the saint who saved France, may have been somewhat dissatisfied with dying at the stake after saving France, but she never regretted it.

This first singularity, caused by Gildre's recklessness, has become one of the seven culprits that destroyed the world.

For both public and private reasons, Joan of Arc did not want to see Gilles de Rais continue down this wrong path.

“Joan of Arc… your personality is truly as unchanging as ever,” Gilles de Rais sighed.

No matter what setbacks, difficulties, or betrayals she encounters, the girl, seemingly blessed by divine revelation, remains the saint who saves the nation.

"In that case, I should also make my exit. Everything that happened in this singularity... if there really is a god, if someone really has to go to hell, then I alone am enough."

Gildre is the biggest culprit behind this deliberate act; if anyone is to be blamed, it is undoubtedly him.

Jeanne Alter? Her sins cannot be denied, but as a Servant personally created by Gilles de Rais according to his own will, Jeanne Alter is merely a sword.

A demonic sword, a sword of vengeance...

Jeanne Alter was created by Gilles de Rais to seek revenge against all of France.

Gilles de Rais understood this as well, and after both Jeanne Alter and himself were defeated by the Saint of Salvation, Gilles de Rais felt at peace.

That's why Gildre said: If I have to go to hell, I'll be the only one.

"Who's there?" Just as everyone was watching Gilles de Rais disappear in silence, Joan of Arc suddenly looked toward the door.

"Didn't you say you could handle Chaldea's scanning device?" A voice familiar to everyone present was filled with disdain.

"I can handle their devices, but your emotional fluctuations caused a magical fluctuation. Do you think I could cover it up for you? What does it have to do with me if you get caught in the end?" Chen Luo felt quite wronged.

Chen Luo's Herrscher of Erosion ability is indeed capable of dealing with Chaldea's scanning device. Even if Little Chen Luo cannot fully utilize the Herrscher of Erosion's power, he can still achieve this level of capability.

But Chen Luo couldn't conceal the magical fluctuations.

But since she had been discovered, continuing to pretend wouldn't be in line with Jeanne d'Arc Alter's character, so she openly walked out from behind the door.

Everyone was extremely surprised when they saw Jeanne Alter.

Whether it's Chaldea or Gilles de Rais.

Jeanne Alter disappeared right next to Gilles de Rais. This outcome is so unexpected!

"Why are you looking at me like that? The life-saving item that the magical girl Teriri gave me really works. You guys are allowed to have special items, but I'm not?" Jeanne Alter said smugly, arms crossed.

Jeanne Alter was still too embarrassed to admit that she had accidentally signed a contract that turned into a contract of servitude when she was signing it. So she could only use the magical girl Teriri as an excuse.

Upon hearing Jeanne d'Arc's words, Chen Luo couldn't help but glance at her.

These days, even the seemingly innocent and easy-to-manage Jeanne d'Arc (Alter) has learned to deceive people...

But don't use my name to swindle or deceive people.

“Magical Girl Teriri…? If it’s him, then it’s easy to explain,” Jeanne muttered.

Joan of Arc always thought the magical girl Teriri was very amazing.

And now that I think about it, the silver Command Seals that Jeanne Alter suddenly used during the battle with her were probably given to her by the magical girl Teriri, right?

“But didn’t the magical girl Teriri say that her relationship with the Dragon Witch was just a fling?” Mashu whispered.

"What? That magical girl Teriri really said that? That swindler!" Jeanne Alter was a little angry.

Chen Luo covered his face involuntarily.

What double agents fear most is a direct confrontation between the two buyers.

"Give me the Holy Grail." Jeanne Alter walked to Gilles de Rais, who was about to disappear, and asked him for it.

Gilles de Rais nodded calmly and handed the Holy Grail to Jeanne Alter.

Gilles de Rais's death is a fact, but the Holy Grail has now fallen back into Jeanne d'Arc Alter's hands.

"Can he be saved?" Jeanne Alter turned to look at Chen Luo, who was sitting on her shoulders.

"It's hopeless, just wait to die." Chen Luo, who hadn't received the commission, said coldly.

This singularity is about to end. Whether Jeanne Alter dies or not is not important, but Gilles de Rais must die, since it was his existence that caused this singularity.

Since there was no commission, it means that Jeanne Alter was just asking casually, and she had accepted this ending in her heart.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gildre slowly perished, but the era did not begin to correct itself, because the era would only begin to correct itself after the Holy Grail was retrieved.

"Is it going to be another battle?" Mash, somewhat exhausted, raised her shield again.

The Holy Grail must be retrieved.

"Alright, I'm willing to accept my defeat. Since even Gilles has let it go, there's no point in continuing to fight." For some reason, Jeanne Alter seemed somewhat disheartened.

"That Holy Grail..." If Jeanne Alter were in a fierce mood, Mash and the others wouldn't feel any guilt about taking the Holy Grail, but looking at Jeanne Alter's current expression, they felt as if they were the bad guys.

“But the Holy Grail cannot be given to you.” Jeanne Alter shook her head, then handed the Holy Grail in her hand to Chen Luo, who was sitting on her shoulder.

"Your reward is a way of repaying me for 'eating' you until you're so small," Jeanne d'Arc Alter said, looking at Chen Luo, who had shrunk even further.

"Huh? But, but we absolutely have to retrieve the Holy Grail! And what's up with this gentleman?" Mashu's CPU almost burned out because the scene before her was so surreal.

"It's like a bonus item from the resurrection tool given by that magical girl Teriri, just some emergency food." Jeanne Alter waved her hand.

"Emergency food?"

This unusual name gave everyone a slight shock.

"You really don't want it anymore?" Chen Luo asked, holding the Holy Grail, which was bigger than his own body.

"No, thank you." Jeanne Alter shook her head.

Jeanne Alter originally intended to continue her efforts and then turn the tables on the Chaldea group, but after seeing Gilles de Rais pass away peacefully, she gave up on that plan.

Originally, I just wanted to find a random place to meet my end, but my emotions were so intense that they caused a magical fluctuation, which is why I was discovered by everyone and had no choice but to come out.

"Then I'll sell the Holy Grail to them, you don't mind, do you?" Chen Luo pointed to the Chaldea group.

"Selling? That's really in the style of Magical Girl Teriri. No wonder you're a friend of Magical Girl Teriri," Jeanne Alter sneered.

"After all, they want the Holy Grail to be truly useful, and to save the world," Chen Luo said helplessly.

Since I've already touched the Holy Grail myself, it's no longer worth much.

"So... at what price do you all intend to buy the Holy Grail from me?" Chen Luo asked as he flew through the air, holding the Holy Grail, which was even larger than himself.

Chapter 1026 Jeanne Alter: You can make a wish upon me, anything is possible.

"Doctor, what should we do?" Mashu asked, somewhat at a loss.

If it were a real fight, even though she's a bit tired now, Mashu would still be able to keep going.

But business negotiations don't sound like something I'm capable of doing.

After the other party expressed goodwill and was willing to give up the Holy Grail, Mash and the others found it even more difficult to directly steal it.

This is the kind of problem that upright people need to worry about.

There's no need to worry about the villains; they can just steal from them.

"What? Teriri's friend? That means she's Magical☆Merry's friend?" The doctor excitedly stood up from the command terminal.

"Doctor, that's not the important thing right now!"

"Ahem, sorry, Mashu, you have to understand the impulse of a man who might have the chance to meet his idol." The doctor coughed twice.

"So, doctor, is there anything we can trade?"

"Probably not..."

Chaldea's current situation is not good; its resources were already scarce to begin with...

Although the bombs killed many people, they also caused significant damage to supplies. While the average amount of supplies per person increased, the overall quantity of supplies decreased drastically, and it's highly likely that these supplies will not be replenished in the future…

“I know the magical girl Teriri, and I also know Magical☆Merry, but now is clearly not the time to talk about them. The magical girl Teriri has mentioned you to me before, and considering how difficult it is for you to save the world… let’s sign a contract.” Chen Luo took out a contract.

This contract caught Jeanne Alter's eye, because it looked very similar to the one she had signed back then, the one that had led her to sign the indenture.

What do you want?

"Yes, I want a lot, like the entire Chaldea... Of course, I know you definitely won't sell it."

"Phew..." The Chaldea side breathed a sigh of relief.

“I also want that doctor who provides logistical support for you, his name is Roman, right? I want him.”

"Huh?!" Roman exclaimed in surprise, then instinctively covered his chest.

I never imagined there would be people with such strange tastes these days. I'm so useless, how could anyone want me? (Back then, I thought the same thing...)

"It's not impossible..." Leonardo da Vinci actually began to consider it.

"Da Vinci, my dear!"

"Okay, just kidding."

"Although I really want Dr. Roman, human trafficking is a major taboo..." Before Chen Luo could finish speaking, he was flicked on the forehead by Jeanne d'Arc (Alter), almost sending him flying.

As a victim of human trafficking and someone who signed a contract to sell herself into servitude, Jeanne Alter felt she had something to say.

"Because people cannot be bought and sold, the remaining 40-odd people in Chaldea who have Master qualifications cannot be bought or sold either... I'm quite curious about the members of Group A."

"Then... let's sell Command Seals, how about it? I heard that your Chaldea Command Seals replenish one per day. So, since you don't need to use Command Seals and your Command Seals are almost full, how about selling me the Command Seals that are more than three in number?" Chen Luo said.

Although Chen Luo also wanted to ask them to give him all the Command Seals he recovered each day, and then return them to them after he copied them using the River God's ability, this was clearly unrealistic because it was too troublesome. So Chen Luo had to settle for second best.

Since the Holy Grail is going to be given to them anyway, getting a few more Command Seals is a bonus.
