Fang Zheng had to admit that he was stunned by this wave of operations.
I have never seen such a spineless person. He knelt down and begged for mercy as soon as I took action, and even surrendered directly and asked to be incorporated?
Is there still this rhythm?
Although Fang Zheng wanted to ask Jeanne what she was feeling, he had no choice but to ask her what she was feeling. His previous fight with Jeanne had already attracted the attention of other servants, who were now approaching the battleground. So Fang Zheng picked Jeanne up and used a teleportation spell to run away...
When the servants of the black camp arrived at the battlefield, all that was left was ruins, and Fang Zheng and Jeanne were nowhere to be seen.
“Swish!!”
The magic flashed in the air, and the next moment Fang Zheng carried Jeanne to a flat ground in the mountains. He looked around, and then threw Jeanne, who was still exhausted, to the ground. Although Jeanne was still conscious at this moment, perhaps because she had consumed too much energy in the previous battle, she couldn't even stand up.
and……
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng glanced at Jeanne. Noticing his gaze, Jeanne couldn't help but curl up her body and stared at her in fear. At this moment, she had completely lost her previous majestic look, and she looked like an ordinary girl... huh?
"Are you Jeanne's possession?"
Fang Zheng observed carefully and found that the girl had two souls in her body, one of which was quite weak, and the other was very ordinary. It seemed that Jeanne had consumed too much energy in the battle with Fang Zheng and had now shrunk into a corner to sleep, but the girl herself was now in control of this body again.
"Yes, it is."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Jeanne - no, the girl answered timidly. Fang Zheng was not surprised by her reaction. After all, he had just pierced her chest with a sword. Although it was obvious that Jeanne saved her life, it must have left a very deep impression on her.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Leticia..."
"I'm Fang Zheng... Well, I'm sorry to scare you, but this is the Holy Grail War, I think you should be able to understand."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng found a rock to sit on, and then took out a piece of cake from his inventory. After fighting for such a long time, he was a little hungry, so he had a midnight snack to fill his stomach. But just as Fang Zheng was drinking Coke and eating cake, a voice broke the silence.
“Gurgle…”
Hearing this voice, Fang Zheng looked at Leticia again, while the girl lowered her head with a red face.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I haven't eaten for a long time. Jeanne has been busy traveling during this period..."
"So you abuse your own possession? This Saint Lady's hobby is really unique."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out his hand again and took out a set of Fat House Happy Meal from the void - it was originally reserved for Illya, Xiao Hei and the others as snacks, but now it seems that someone needs this thing more than them.
"Try it. Although it's a little cold, it should taste good."
"Why?"
Looking at the fat otaku happy meal that Fang Zheng handed over, Leticia was stunned for a moment.
"Can I...eat it?"
"Of course, you are not my enemy. I am not so harsh as to watch a little girl starve."
"Thank you, thank you..."
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Leticia hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the fat otaku happy meal and began to enjoy it. At first, perhaps because Fang Zheng was next to her, she tried to maintain some manners by taking small sips, but after taking a few bites of the burger, the hunger quickly overwhelmed her will, and soon the girl in front of her became like a bear before hibernation, devouring the entire meal in a whirlwind. Of course, the big glass of fat otaku happy water was also swept away by her and drank up.
"Huh... Thank you, Mr. Fang Zheng."
After finishing the meal, Leticia couldn't help but burp, then lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and thanked Fang Zheng, who just waved his hand.
"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake."
"Then...Mr. Fang Zheng, can I ask you something?"
Perhaps because Fang Zheng didn't look as scary as before, and because of the meal, Leticia didn't seem as scared of Fang Zheng as before. She raised her head cautiously and looked at Fang Zheng anxiously. Although she didn't say it, Fang Zheng knew exactly what she wanted to say.
"You want to ask me why I violated the rules and attacked Jeanne?"
"Yes……"
Hearing this, Leticia nodded.
"Miss Jeanne is a good person..."
“It has nothing to do with whether you are a good person or not.”
Fang Zheng waved his hand, interrupting Leticia's defense.
"Both the Black and Red sides have some pretty good guys, but that doesn't mean anything. The Holy Grail War is still going on, and we still have to kill each other. The Greater Holy Grail has not been activated, so after we eliminate the enemy, we have to take action against those who we think are pretty good. The winner takes all, and the loser dies. This is the rule of the Holy Grail War. For me, whether it's Jeanne d'Arc or the Red Servant, they are all enemies that prevent me from getting the Holy Grail, so no matter if she is a good person or a saint, if she stands in front of me, she will die."
"……sorry……"
"There's nothing to apologize for. This isn't your fault."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out his hand, picked up a stone nearby out of boredom, and placed it on the ground in front of him.
"It's normal to be full of fantasies at this age. The Holy Grail War and the great battles of heroes in the past do sound romantic. But in the final analysis, it's nothing more than a group of fools killing each other in pursuit of their own hopes. Betrayal, conspiracy, assassination, these are no uglier than the duel that looks glamorous on the outside. By the way, how is Jeanne now?"
"She is resting and seems to be seriously injured..."
After all, if it weren't for those three Command Seals that appeared suddenly, I would have burned her soul.
Hearing Leticia's answer, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. He certainly would not attack an ordinary person who had nothing to do with him. Although Fang Zheng's sword pierced Leticia's chest, it avoided the most important heart and blood vessels, and the subsequent soul fire also burned Jeanne's soul... I'm afraid that Jeanne's soul has become quite weak at the moment.
It was luck that it wasn't burned out.
"Okay, I have some things to do, you can rest over there for a while."
After Fang Zheng finished speaking, Leticia curled up obediently, staring at Fang Zheng curiously without saying a word. Fang Zheng did not care about the little girl anymore. He reached out and took out a precious gem from the inventory, then chanted a spell in a low voice.
Soon, the power of magic began to beat at Fang Zheng's fingertips again, absorbing the magic power stored in the gems. The floating magic runes formed invisible chains. They crossed the distant boundaries and entered the hidden realm that ordinary people could not reach, calling out to the ancient, mysterious existence.
Soon, as Fang Zheng cast a spell, the randomly placed stones in front of him slowly floated into the air, and then sparks spread on the ground, attracting the stone fragments like a magnet, condensing them into a rotating golden sphere. Fang Zheng could vaguely feel the breath coming from the golden sphere, which was the same breath he felt in the Command Spell.
"You know why I called you."
Fang Zheng stared at the golden sphere in front of him.
"We are not children anymore. We should speak and act directly. I am not interested in mysterious instructions and prayers, and I am even less willing to guess the puzzles given by others. So if you have something to say, don't make such a roundabout move. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to say something practical?"
The golden sphere began to spin, and soon, a mirror image appeared in Fang Zheng's mind.
The cracked, dry earth wilderness, the gray clouds covered the entire sky. The whole world was shrouded in a shadow of death. The planet was about to die, just like an old man about to step into the grave, with only the last breath left. And in the clouds, the humans driving the steel and the huge monsters were fighting each other, exploding, destroying, and dying. All of this seemed to be the final microcosm of this planet...
The planet is not afraid of death, and will not feel resentment even if it is destroyed by the races it has nurtured, because it believes that after destroying its own mother body, those races will also be destroyed.
However, this is not the case.
Humans have transcended the limitations of their home planet and can still survive even if that planet is completely extinct.
This scares the planet.
The planet has developed an unprecedented fear of the human species.
They don't care about any planets, let alone other wills. They will be like locusts, greedily destroying everything for their own survival. What they leave behind is only death and destruction.
For this reason, before dying, the planet sent out its final message, calling upon the highest will of the other eight planets and making a request to them.
Please kill all life.
"So, you need my help."
Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the sphere in front of him.
“…”
The golden sphere began to rotate again, and then lines of information appeared in Fang Zheng's mind.
Is this your condition?
Closing his eyes, Fang Zheng carefully felt the will coming from a mysterious distance. Then he thought for a moment and shook his head.
"This is not enough. Since you are eager to be redeemed, then show your sincerity."
“…”
The golden sphere paused for a moment, and then, a whole new picture reappeared in Fang Zheng's mind. Seeing these pictures, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly.
"Very good, then... I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
