That night, the two little girls played until very late.
Aoi rarely told Rin to go to bed on time, but waited until they were tired before carefully carrying them back to the room.
Shen He and Jeanne also rested in the guest room of the Tosaka family.
But looking at the moon outside the window, Shen He had no intention of sleeping, because since the second copy event, the world of Akagi, he finally got rid of the busy days. He might as
well deal with the harvest.
Shen He opened the system interface.
This system did not appear in the mind as some novels said, but was more like a projection on the retina. With the increase of strength, Shen He could even faintly sense its existence.
Perhaps sooner or later, one day he would know its origin.
Shen He put these aside and opened his backpack.
First of all, the summoning stones have accumulated to 86, which is almost the richest in history.
Of course, it is also related to the fact
that Shen He is not in a hurry to summon. With the increase of level, the level growth rate of both him and the servants is getting slower and slower. He has to train the existing servants first.
Then -
there is the reward for clearing the Akagi-slash dungeon event, and the Reversed Heroic Spirit Summoning Card.
The reward for clearing the dungeon is the same as the one after the Magic Index dungeon ends, which is to choose one of the three golden treasure chests. The virtual castle is opened at that time.
Let's try our luck.
Shen He rubbed his hands involuntarily.
"Are you planning to summon a new partner?" Jeanne looked at Shen He's actions and guessed what he was doing.
"Not really." Shen He shook his head, "But it depends on luck."
"Then..."
Jeanne blushed, took Shen He's palm from the quilt, placed it on her chest, and prayed silently.
- May God bless the Master.
Shen He was speechless, but didn't say anything, just watched her pray quietly and happily.
Then he used this hand to gently click on the box on the left.
Just like last time, after making a choice, the three boxes opened one by one from the left guide.
After the first box, which was the box Shen He chose, was opened, a crystal-like fragment appeared inside.
The World of Akagi-slash (Incomplete).
The corresponding information emerged in his mind. After possessing this fragment, it is equivalent to possessing a permanent travel card only for the world of Akagi. Although you cannot bring non-servants in or out, you can circulate materials at will.
This is really... Shen He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
It's not a very good result.
If the magic world was drawn in the last clearance lottery, it would be prosperous, because if it is only used as a logistics base, the role of a modern industrial society with a large amount of manpower and material resources is undoubtedly much stronger than the world of Akagi, which is full of dangerous species.
That's it, it's better to have it than not.
The second box continued to open, and something like a chessboard emerged inside.
Virtual training ground.
The training ground between virtual and reality can simulate the rules, environment, and enemies of the entire world. It can be said that it is a magical artifact that allows you to experience thousands of scenery without leaving home.
It is indeed a set of things with the virtual castle.
Shen He sighed twice, and could only look forward to the next copy activity to come sooner, but in this case, he basically knew what would be in the third box. Any
contract card.
As expected, after the third box was opened, it contained a prop card that was the same as the last time, which could establish a Servant Contract with any living being.
But in the end, except for the fragment of the Akagi World that was opened in the first box, the other two disappeared into the backpack along with the box.
"How is it?" Jeanne asked expectantly.
"Not bad." Shen He gave a big smile, "From now on, even if we completely open up the Akagi World, it will be the resources of the entire world."
"Wow--"
Jeanne exclaimed, but more because she thought her prayers were useful.
Then she moved closer to Shen He's arm and looked at him with big eyes that were curved because of her joy.
"Master, don't you try to summon a partner again while you are lucky?"
"Well, forget it, you should stop while you are ahead."
Shen He shook his head quickly. Although drawing the Akagi World was not bad, he wanted the other two more in comparison. This can't be said to be good luck.
And speaking of servants.
There is also a Reversed Heroic Spirit Contract card in the backpack.
With a thought, a dark card appeared in his hand. Just looking at it like this, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Reversed Heroic Spirits usually have the suffix "alter" added to the name of the Heroic Spirit.
There are new ones like Misaka Mikoto·Alter, which are independent of the main body. There are
also those like Altria·Alter, which are completely the existence form of the second personality of the main body.
But no matter which one it is.
Usually, it carries a strong negative emotion.
And among all the reversed Heroic Spirits, Shen He's favorite...
is of course the black Jeanne who cheated krypton.
Jeanne d'Arc·Alter, known as the black Jeanne, is not another side of the Jeanne in his arms, but a new Heroic Spirit formed by Gil who lamented the death of Joan of Arc and made a wish to the Holy Grail, that is, Jeanne d'Arc born for revenge on France and even mankind. As a Heroic Spirit
on the opposite side of the original Joan of Arc, it can be said that she does not have the will of Joan of Arc to move forward desperately.
But that kind of attitude of giving up everything, having no sense of future, and heading straight for destruction, on the contrary, has an amazing charm.
It's just...
Shen He looked down at Joan of Arc in his arms, his expression a little complicated.
"What's wrong, Master?" Joan of Arc certainly noticed Shen He's changes.
"Joan of Arc..." Shen He thought for a while and decided to listen to Joan of Arc's opinion, "Have you ever imagined yourself being full of resentment and determined to take revenge because of the betrayal of the people you saved?"
"How is this possible?" Joan of Arc opened her eyes wide, "My final ending has been prepared since the day I abandoned everything and went to the battlefield. I have never regretted it, never resented it, and it is impossible for me to take revenge."
"Yes, you are such a saint." Shen He gritted his teeth, "But what I'm talking about is the altered you."
"..."
The moonlight sprinkled on Joan of Arc's face with an incredible expression.
There was a hint of pity in her pale blue eyes.
"Wouldn't it be very pitiful in that case?" She said, biting her lips lightly.
"..." Shen He didn't expect Joan of Arc to react like this.
"I didn't do that to get people's approval, and I don't think people's abandonment of me is a betrayal." Jeanne said softly, "It's natural that there is an evil side in human nature, but if I deny people's help and trust in me, I will only be trapped in the pain of 'evil'... Just like Jill I saw this time, if Jeanne really exists as an avenger, she must be in pain."
"Hatred is indeed painful." Shen He looked at the card in his hand, "So I'm thinking... should I summon her as my Servant."
"Can I do that?" Jeanne also looked at the card.
She knew that Shen He would have some special function prop cards in his hand.
She could also feel the uncomfortable evil breath on this card.
"Of course." Shen He nodded slightly, "The function of this card is to summon a Heroic Servant in a reversed state."
"Then..." Jeanne was about to agree, but suddenly felt something was wrong. She turned over and pressed on Shen He, revealing a little bit of sharp fangs and staring at him, "It's wrong to be fickle, Master."
"How can I be fickle?" Shen He looked away with a guilty look.
"You're lying." Jeanne leaned down with full pressure, staring at Shen He's eyes at a distance where they could touch each other's breath, biting her lips lightly, "Master, you said that you liked Jeanne the most in the past. Now think about it, which Jeanne did the Master like in the past?"
"That..." Shen He was a little speechless.
The main reason was that Jeanne, who had always been shy and innocent, suddenly posed like this, giving him a strong sense of temptation, especially the red lips so close.
Shen He has always been a person who follows his heart.
So he simply hugged Jeanne on his body and kissed her lips.
"Hmm..."
Jeanne's eyes widened, as if she had never expected Shen He to do such a thing when she was "questioning".
At first, she struggled a little.
But soon, she closed her eyes tightly, and her face flushed as she collapsed in Shen He's arms.
"This place..." Jeanne murmured with the last bit of consciousness left.
"Then go back first!"
Shen He panted, hugged Jeanne and turned over, and rolled directly from the Tosaka family to the room in the castle.
As for whether to summon Hei Zhen. Let
's talk about it later.
The next day, when it was still dawn, Shen He, who was dressed neatly, returned to the Tosaka mansion with Jeanne.
Although they hadn't slept all night, they all looked energetic.
But Jeanne's face was still with a faint blush, and she didn't even dare to look at Shen He because she was shy.
"Let's go, it's time to pick up Ying back."
Shen He naturally held Jeanne's hand and led her out of the room like a young wife who had just married.
Although it was still early.
But Aoi had already woken up and was tidying up the clothes that Sakura had washed last night.
"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Jeanne, good morning."
Aoi greeted Shen He and Jeanne graciously after seeing them.
"Good morning, Mrs. Tosaka." Although Shen He told Aoi to call him by his name yesterday, Aoi still used the honorific, so he didn't pay too much attention. "Is Sakura not awake yet?"
"Still sleeping." Aoi's eyes showed love, "The child played too late last night, do you want me to wake her up?"
"No, no, there's still some time." Shen He looked at his watch and shook his head.
"So..." Aoi was silent for a while, and seemed a little hesitant, but finally couldn't help asking, "Mr. Shen... will you take Sakura away from Japan?"
"Yes." Shen He nodded, and he was just going to talk to Aoi about this matter, "I have thought about it carefully. I won't let Sakura go to school in elementary school. I plan to bring her to my side to educate her. When she is old enough to go to junior high school, I will let her go back to Fuyuki to go to school. At that time, she may have to live with the Tosaka family."
"This is really..." Aoi didn't know what to say.
She felt as if she was about to be knocked unconscious by the sudden surprise. She was even prepared to never see Sakura again, but was told that Sakura could come back to her in a few years.
"In addition, I should bring Sakura back for about a day every month." Shen He chuckled, "I have already said that I will not let Sakura and the Tosaka family completely cut off contact."
"Thank you..."
Although she can only see her daughter once a month, Aoi is already very satisfied.
The former Matou family forbade them to contact Sakura again.
Shen He just waved his hand and said nothing more.
Although this decision would result in wasting a primary travel card every month, it was nothing to Shen He, but it was crucial to Sakura's growth.
After all, Sakura still had deep feelings for the Tohsaka family.
When it was time to leave, Tohsaka Tokiomi also came out of the magic workshop, with a simple magic prosthesis installed on his broken arm.
Shen He suddenly thought.
I wonder if the highest-ranking puppeteer, Aozaki Orange, exists on this timeline.
Forget it, he suppressed this idea. If he wanted to meet Orange, he might as well use the travel card to go to the world of Ryougi Shiki.
After all, there are too many versions of Orange.
"Well, goodbye then." Shen He gently patted Sakura's shoulder.
"Goodbye, sister, goodbye, mother." Sakura waved goodbye obediently. She
didn't say goodbye to Tohsaka Tokiomi... Shen He showed an ambiguous smile, holding Sakura's little hand, and directly opened the magnificent castle gate in the void, and then, in the shocked eyes of Rin and Kui, he was welcomed in by a group of elite maids at the door, and the castle gate slowly closed.
Until this moment.
Aoi had a preliminary understanding of the "big man" described by Tohsaka Tokiomi.
However, Aoi remembered Shen He's smile.
Fortunately, he is a good person.
On the other hand, Shen He, who had solved all the problems and returned to the castle, also felt relieved.
But this relaxed and pleasant time did not last long.
Because he was preparing to summon Hei Zhen.
After a night of hard work, Shen He finally convinced Jeanne to use this Reversed Heroic Spirit Summoning Card on Black Jeanne.
But to be honest, most Reversed Heroic Spirits have an "evil" personality that desires to destroy the world and kill all humans, not to mention that Black Jeanne exists as a rare Avenger rank.
So Shen He has no idea what kind of personality the summoned Black Jeanne will have.
But -
summon, Jeanne alter.
The magic card in his hand turned into a stream of light and dissipated, and gradually formed a complicated summoning magic circle in the middle of the room. Both Shen He and Jeanne held their breath.
They looked at the magic circle in front of them with both nervousness and expectation.
Finally, the white-haired girl bathed in the dissipated light of the magic circle. The moment she opened her eyes, her pale golden eyes seemed to reveal an unextinguished flame and hatred.
