Black's eighth servant? How is that possible
In surprise, all kinds of speculations came to my mind.
Did someone on the black side break the rules? — This was Joan of Arc's first reaction.
The second reaction that followed was to enter the city of Mirenia to investigate thoroughly. If someone really violated the rules, the arbitrator would exercise his power to punish them.
But she quickly suppressed the urge. As Altria said, "an empty stomach is the enemy", and her current state was not suitable for long-distance travel. Moreover, she also noticed the abnormality of Jack's panel.
First of all, Jack's attributes are very low, so low that any known servant can easily crush him.
Secondly, she has no job. If the faction column had not said black, Jeanne would have thought that she was a Servant summoned through a séance ritual other than the Holy Grail—according to the knowledge bestowed by the Holy Grail, regardless of compliance or not, all spiritual instruments made by the Holy Grail have corresponding jobs.
Unless, the spiritual weapon Jack used was not made from the Holy Grail.
Thinking about this, Jeanne felt that she had found the answer. In thousands of years of human history, there were so many Heroic Spirits, and there were all kinds of legends about Heroic Spirits. It was not impossible for them to have their own treasures or skills to summon servants. This could also explain why Jack had no job and his attributes were so low.
However, Jack the Ripper is not a positive heroic spirit, so why does Altria have such an attitude
Joan of Arc thought so and asked the same question.
"Although there are many legends about the Ripper, in reality they were just a group of poor children."
Altria sighed first, then told Jeanne the truth about little Jack that she had heard from Shinji.
It’s true that Jack committed murder, but was it really little Jack’s fault
The noble Knight King could not come up with an answer, and the same was true for the awe-inspiring Saint.
Those strangled children just wanted to be born into this world, so Jack was born.
The children who were not fully conceived just wanted to return to their mother's belly, so Jack killed them.
Whether it is birth or the desire to be fully nurtured, it is the instinct and wish of life. Jack has never received a day of education, she is still a blank slate and can only follow her instincts.
It is obviously inappropriate to define the newborns, no, the children who have not yet been born, by the right and wrong of human beings.
If I have to say, I can only use Shinji's final conclusion: "It's not Jack who is wrong, it's the world!"
Without that kind of social environment, Jack would not have been born, and this is the root of the problem. After Jack was summoned, although he lacked common sense, under Reika's guidance, he did not cause any negative impact on society, which further confirmed Shinji's point of view.
"She will not kill again. She is now just Lingxia's daughter, nothing more. Lingxia and I will teach her and protect her. We swear in the name of the knight that no one will harm such a child."
Although she had never worn armor, nor had she drawn her sword or held a gun, this did not affect Altria's demeanor. No matter when, where, or what the situation, she was always a knight.
"I trust your judgment and assurance..."
The "revelation" told Jeanne that Altria was serious and trustworthy.
"If you and Miss Lingxia are going to join the battle, I can also take care of little Jack."
Jack belongs to the black side, and not allowing her to join the battle would weaken its own strength. As long as it is voluntary, this is not a violation.
Hearing Jeanne's statement, Artoria smiled knowingly: "Then I'll leave it to you. I think Jack will be very happy to have Jeanne's mother take care of him."
"Please don't use that name." Joan of Arc looked helpless, she still couldn't accept it.
"I don't need it, but Jack will."
"Well... I'll correct her." Although she said that, Jeanne really didn't have the confidence, "There's one thing I want to confirm. Did you summon Jack?"
Jeanne has already used the "True Name See" skill to scan all the black servants. In her opinion, there are only two people who can summon Jack, one is Assassin and the other is Altria. The former represents the unknown, and the latter is the most famous king of Britain. It is not surprising that she has the skills or treasures to summon the heroic spirits of her country.
This skill or treasure should have some significant limitations, such as it can only be summoned once, only one person can be summoned at a time, and the summoned character is random. This can explain the current situation and Altria's attitude - otherwise Altria can summon more powerful heroic spirits. If nothing else, the Knights of the Round Table who follow her are a good choice.
"No, not me, but my Master."
This answer was completely beyond Joan of Arc's expectations.
"Your Master? Miss Lingxia? How could she-?"
Could it really be a violation of the summons? As soon as this thought came to mind, it was interrupted by an even more unexpected fact.
"Reika? You're mistaken. She's not my Master. She's, uh, a proxy Master."
Having experienced the last Holy Grail War, Altria naturally applied the example of Kiritsugu and Irisviel.
"Master proxy? Then what about your real Master—?"
"He is as special as I am, and he is also my understander and collaborator."
"Special? Understander? Collaborator? What do you mean?" Joan of Arc was becoming more and more confused.
"You'll know when you meet him."
Altria didn't say much, she didn't want to disrupt Shinji's deployment because of herself.
"Joan of Arc, let's continue the conversation we left last night. I will tell you about my story, and I hope to get your help. This Holy Grail War has a very complicated situation..."
What happened next was a natural progression. Artoria told Jeanne all about her own situation, the mission she was tasked with, and her speculations about this Holy Grail War.
As a saint who had listened to the voice of God and as someone who had "revelation", Joan of Arc knew that what Altria said was true. Combining what she said, Joan of Arc became more convinced that she was summoned not only to judge the battle between the fourteen riders of the red and black sides, but for a deeper reason, which also led to the abnormality in her summoning form.
After confirming this, Jeanne no longer hesitated, informed Artoria of her own special situation, and responded to the request for assistance.
"I agree to assist you, but I will not interfere in any way in the fight between the red and black sides over the Holy Grail. I want to make this clear in advance."
"I understand." Altria was not surprised by this request.
"Also, I want to meet your Master."
Whether it's being a collaborator or summoning Little Jack, I have to get to the bottom of it.
PS: It's not Jack or the world who are wrong, it's Tokiomi - Tokiomi in this world is not dead yet, so he continues to take the blame.
