"Is that all?"
On the streets of Sighişoara, Joan of Arc, carrying a handbag, dressed as a student and blending into the crowd of tourists.
"Well, that's all."
A woman about two body lengths away from her, wearing a windbreaker, sunglasses, and with her hair completely covered by a large sun hat, responded in a low voice. She was the sixth director Reika, the only intelligent person in the team besides Shinji.
"I think the Red Team should have discovered your whereabouts. This is their base camp, and we are on the main road."
Lingxia was in disguise, and she was not a magician. Even if she was beautiful, she would not attract the attention of the Red Servant. Jeanne was different. She could not transform into a spirit body, but wherever she went, she would carry the huge magic power and aura that belonged to a Servant. As long as the Red Servant's Master was not an idiot, he would not ignore her existence.
Joan of Arc asked, "What should we do next?"
"It's simple. Wait, wait for the Red Team to take action." Lingxia pushed up her sunglasses and looked thoughtfully at the flock of pigeons flying in the sky from time to time. "The Red Team wants to kill you, which means they don't want you to know something. Now that you appear in their base camp, they can't just sit there and do nothing. As long as they take action, we have a chance - by the way, have you sensed the breath of the Red Team's servants?"
"No." Joan of Arc shook her head. As soon as she entered Sighisoara, she turned on her senses to the maximum. But up to now, she had not found anything, as if there were no servants in the entire city.
"Is that so? How many possibilities do you think there are?"
"Two. First, they use a special method to isolate the servants' breath and magic. Second, they are not in Sighisoara at all."
"Do you have any other means of detection?"
"Yes, but it cannot be used in public."
Lingxia heard this and pointed to the roadside: "There's a coffee shop over there."
A few minutes later, Jeanne hid in a compartment and used the holy water prepared in advance to activate an ability Shinji called "Holy Water Radar".
Compared with breath perception, the "Holy Water Radar" cannot achieve precise positioning, and cannot even determine the servant's job. It can only use light spots of different colors to show the approximate locations of the servants of the two camps, but its range is very large, large enough to easily cover the entire city.
The radar detection results are surprising -
◇◇◇
"What, no? How could there be no?"
Shinji, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath in the training ground, suddenly sat up, his eyes full of confusion.
There was no mistake. Both Joan of Arc's judgment and the intelligence she had obtained showed that the Red Army's base camp was in the neighboring Sighisoara, but why was it not there? Could it be that it had concealed Joan of Arc's detection in some way? For example, the "Hades Cloak"
No, it's impossible. A treasure like the Hades cloak is very rare, and it's impossible for everyone to have one. And with Jeanne and Reika's style, if they say it so sure, it must be certain. Then, could it be that Amakusa Shiro or the Red Assassin Semiramis noticed Jeanne's arrival and led the crowd to evacuate in advance
In order not to arouse Jeanne's suspicion, Shinji simply guided her step by step instead of revealing the existence of the conspiracy in advance, so more speculations could be made.
Except for Amakusa himself and the Lion Jiejieli who acted alone, the other five masters were controlled by Semiramis with poison and were in a fantasy world. They dreamed of crushing the black side, annihilating the Thousand World Tree, and achieving success. Amakusa's purpose was to obtain the Command Seals from the five masters in this way.
Without the Master's consent, it would be very difficult to remove the Command Seals, and neither Amakusa nor Semiramis had the ability to do so. They could only use "inducement" and "deception" to make these first-rate magicians "willingly" hand over the Command Seals to Amakusa, the supervisor of the Holy Grail War - it was the supervisor's duty to recover the Command Seals after the war.
With these Command Seals and control over the other Red Servant, Amakusa was qualified to face Jeanne without worrying about Jeanne's "Divine Judgment" privilege, forcing all Servants to destroy him. After all, there was a layer of separation between inducing the Master to issue orders through illusions, and it would take a lot of time and might not even succeed. Amakusa was not a combat Servant, and this time was enough for Karna or Achilles to kill him several times.
Therefore, before this, Amakusa would not appear in front of Jeanne.
It is precisely because of this that Shinji suggested that Jeanne go to the Red Army's base camp to see if there is anything she can find. Although the possibility of being caught by Jeanne is very small given Amakusa's forbearance and wisdom, as long as there is a little trace, it will be enough to dispel all of Jeanne's doubts.
I didn't expect Amakusa to retreat so cleanly without even any contact. Should we say that the big boss is the big boss
However, this is not the end, just the beginning.
"Altolia, let Jeanne walk around the city and come back. Then, give her the cloak and take her into the city."
I don’t dare to pick the thorny white lily, but do you want to eat the lion’s head (yes, that’s right) that is right in front of my mouth
I want to see how long you can endure!
Shinji secretly got angry, and when he got angry, his body naturally tensed up - it was nothing at ordinary times, but now his whole body was swollen... He immediately gasped.
"Shh, it hurts so much."
◇◇◇
"We are so lucky. If the ruler had come a day earlier, we might have been discovered."
Hearing the news conveyed by Semiramis, Shirou sighed with a smile.
This time, the absence of the Red Servant in Sighisoara was just a coincidence. On the eve of Jeanne's arrival, the Red's base had just moved from the church on the mountain to Semiramis's trump card treasure "Hanging Garden of Vanity".
Otherwise, even if Shirou knew Jeanne was coming, he wouldn't be able to leave so easily. Let alone the others, Achilles would not listen to the Master when he got angry, not to mention Shirou, the "agent". If he wasn't careful, Jeanne might really catch him, so Shirou sighed.
"Why do I feel like you want to be discovered by the ruler?" Semiramis looked at her Master with a smile.
"Because everything is done according to the script, although it is safe, it is boring. The longer you suppress your emotions, the more you can't wait to make trouble."
"You have been influenced by caster." Semiramis complained, teasing the pigeon that brought the news.
"Maybe." Shirou did not deny it, "But if you miss it, you miss it. There is no point in regretting it."
At this moment, a faint thought reached Semiramis from Sighisoara. Semiramis closed his eyes and tuned his vision to the familiar in the distance.
After a few minutes, she opened her eyes and asked in confusion, "What happened? Not only the ruler, but also the black servants are here?"
"Black? Which one is it?" Shirou also looked surprised.
"The only Servant without any intelligence."
"No information, that means it's the Black Lancer? Interesting, interesting." Shirou's eyes lit up.
"What are you going to do, Master? Are you going to send someone to deal with her? I just confirmed that the ruler has left Sighisoara." Semiramis turned his palm up, and a cold light spread from the device and the metal nails on his palm.
"Hmm..." Shirou crossed his arms and held his chin with one hand, "This is indeed a good opportunity to get rid of Black Lancer, but we can't ignore Ruler either. Just because he left doesn't mean he won't come back..."
"So you're just going to let her go?"
"Of course not. How can we let go of the meat that is delivered to our mouths? Inform our 'companion'. He has taken so much information from us for nothing, so he should pay a price."
