As Marne said this, he shrugged.
This is an obvious and self-evident fact.
Jeanne d'Arc pondered for a moment: "Summoning a dragon, that must be the highest level of magic, right? How did my other self, hmm, Black Jeanne, manage to do that? It's hard to imagine."
Olga Marie on the other end of the communication nodded: "Summoning a dragon-type familiar is indeed a very difficult thing to do. Even magicians of the old era needed to be extremely powerful to do it, let alone modern magicians."
Roman added, "Only 460 could probably do something to this extent."
"The miracle produced by the Holy Grail," Dazi immediately answered.
“Now that the objective is clear,” Xiu nodded, then asked Jeanne, “Miss Jeanne, what are your plans next?”
"Isn't this obvious? Of course, we should go to Orleans, take back the city, and deal with Jeanne Alter."
Joan of Arc said with a firm expression, "Even without divine revelation, I cannot stand idly by while this country suffers."
“I made this decision from the very beginning of my arrival, not to mention now that I know the truth. I think this must be the mission I came here for.”
Maren nodded: "Then our interests are aligned. We also need to investigate Jeanne Alter, so let's act together for now."
"Thank you all so much for your help. Please allow me to travel with you all," De said earnestly.
"It's alright, we just happen to need a guide."
Ma En smiled and added, "If you're short on magic, just tell me. I can still supply the temporary costs of the contract."
It's not just temporary; even if it were a permanent supply, or even if there were a dozen or more Servants, Marne wouldn't have any problem with it.
"Yes, thank you for your concern. I will let you know if you need anything."
Joan of Arc replied with a slight blush.
She wasn't quite ready for her contracted master yet.
After all, this was her first time appearing in the world as a Servant, and these were all firsts for her.
Well, I'm a little embarrassed.
However, she doesn't currently have any worries about insufficient magic power.
She descended as a Ruler, and even without a Master, she can recover her magical energy on her own, although it's a bit slow, but it's alright for now.
"Hiss~ Roar!"
At this moment, the wandering skeleton soldiers reappeared.
The followers and Joan of Arc reacted in time, quickly drawing their weapons and rushing forward.
They were just small fry, and with five Servants on their side, they were dealt with without much effort.
After finishing, Ma En looked up at the sky and found that it had already darkened. He said, "Alright, it's getting late now, and everyone is a bit tired. Let's rest here for the night and set off again early tomorrow morning."
Gudako was just too tired.
The long journey since arriving at this singularity, the brutal impact of the battlefield, and the first real combat experience have left me feeling somewhat listless.
Mashu also needs rest; as a Demi-Servant, she has a physical body and therefore needs to recover from fatigue.
"Hmm." XN
No one objected, so they set up camp on the spot.
With Marx and Engels around, there was naturally no need to endure the elements.
He built a small building and then erected a fence around it to prevent being attacked by wandering skeleton soldiers.
"There are magic tricks like this? How convenient!"
In the lobby on the first floor, Joan of Arc looked around curiously and couldn't help but be amazed.
This is a modern-style house, which Joan of Arc had never seen before, hence her curiosity.
Well, Lanling Wang hadn't seen him either, but he didn't say much and went to stand guard on the second floor.
The others, Gudako and Mashu, had already chosen their rooms and went to rest after dinner.
Hinako Akuta, who doesn't particularly like crowds, also stayed indoors.
Only Joan of Arc, Marne, and the two King Arthurs, who were still competing to see who could eat the most, remained in the hall.
"It's not magic, it's sorcery. Oh well, interpret it however you like."
Ma En gave a casual reply, without saying much, and looked at Black Hairless and Lion King with some helplessness.
These two people suddenly started arguing during dinner.
"I said, you two should stop now."
"Lia, why are you following her in her nonsense? Can't you let the newcomer have her way?"
Upon hearing this, Black Hair immediately bristled.
"Who's being ridiculous!" he glared at Ma En with displeasure.
The Lion King looked at him and said quietly, "Give in to her? Have you grown tired of her?"
"..."
Marx and Eng were embarrassed and dared not say another word. They looked at Joan of Arc with their eyes downcast.
"Pfft!" De couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this.
She immediately realized her mistake and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm, I just found the way you two interacted very interesting."
Black Hair frowned and glanced at her, but said nothing, and glared back at the Lion King.
The Lion King met his gaze without backing down.
Their gazes met, sparking a flurry of light.
Ma En shook his head helplessly. If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have let the Lion King out.
But we'll meet sooner or later anyway, so arguing here now is better than arguing back at Chaldea.
After all, Chaldea can't withstand these two messing around. If either of them loses control and unleashes a Noble Phantasm, Chaldea will probably be blown to smithereens again.
Let them get to know each other here first and get along well, so that Chaldea won't suffer any more trouble.
Seeing that Marx and Engels had stopped talking, Joan of Arc felt a little awkward and out of place.
Since we're going to be working together, it wouldn't be good if we weren't too unfamiliar with each other, so I had to take the initiative to find a topic to talk about.
"Ma Ensang, don't you need to rest?"
Ma En shrugged: "I'm waiting for them to finish making a scene. If I don't keep an eye on them, I'm afraid they might start fighting."
"oh oh……"
Joan of Arc nodded, feeling a headache coming on again.
The topic of Marx and Engels, emmm...
She didn't seem to know much either, and couldn't find any more topics to talk about.
How the hell am I supposed to continue this conversation?!
Chapter 254 The Relationship Between Marne and the Lion King, and the Two Kings of Arthur Who Almost Fought Each Other
Joan of Arc discovered for the first time that chatting was actually quite difficult.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about tomorrow?"
Marne also noticed Joan of Arc's unusual behavior and raised an eyebrow.
Joan of Arc paused for a moment, then nodded: "Hmm, a little."
Then she began to recount her situation.
"This is my first time in the real world as a Heroic Spirit, and my abilities are in such an incomplete state. To be honest, I have very little confidence in whether I can save this world and defeat Jeanne Alter."
She had only recently become a Heroic Spirit and descended to earth a few days later, but for some unknown reason, her abilities were greatly weakened.
For a novice, encountering a malfunction is absolutely terrible.
If this weren't Feilanxi, an environment she was familiar with, she probably wouldn't know what to do.
Perhaps she is still lost somewhere, all alone, crying out to heaven and earth in vain.
"Simply put, it's just a feeling of being lost."
Upon hearing this summary, Joan of Arc nodded.
"If you're only worried because it's your first time appearing in the world and you're not familiar with the power of Heroic Spirits, you shouldn't worry about it too much. Just let things take their course."
"My daughter, Mash, is also a novice. She is a Demi-Servant who fused with the Spirit Origin of a Heroic Spirit. She was like that at the beginning, not knowing anything, but she still insisted on facing the enemy head-on and never gave up until the last moment. She showed her skills in her first battle because of this."
"That Shielder?"
"Yes, so you don't need to worry too much. No heroic spirit is created overnight. Everyone has a first time. Just be yourself and believe in yourself. We will help you with the rest."
"Do you believe in yourself..." De nodded slowly and smiled, "Thank you, I feel much better after hearing what you said."
Upon seeing this, Ma En smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, you're welcome. I was just saying it casually. I hope you find it helpful."
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, Ma En, who was laughing, cried out in pain and turned to look at the Lion King, who had somehow appeared beside him.
Why did you pinch me?
Ma En rubbed his waist, which had just been subjected to the two-finger punch, and said helplessly.
What did I do to offend you?
On the other hand, as they spent more and more time together, the Lion King became more and more feminine.
She actually used a two-finger gesture, something she definitely wouldn't have done in the past.
This is partly due to the special magic of the Furnace of Desire, and partly due to the daily care and maintenance provided by Mar and En.
"What do you think?"
The Lion King raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed intently on Marne.
I don’t mind if you find other women, but that doesn’t mean I don’t mind if you’re affectionate with other women in front of me!
