France, above a mountain peak.
Here, the bipedal flying dragon will also appear from time to time, flapping its wings while flying over, as if it is looking for prey, bringing a dangerous atmosphere.
At a certain moment, a huge eagle flew from a distance, landed on the mountainside, and entered a cave.
"Let's settle here first."
On the back of the eagle, Luo Zhen said this, his tone full of exhaustion.
Obviously, Luo Zhen's energy and magic power have been almost exhausted by the full force he just exerted.
"Bah!"
The huge eagle seemed to have completed its mission. After rubbing against Luo Zhen, it turned into pure magic residue and disappeared into the cave.
"Fu!"
Fufu immediately landed in a perfect posture, as if the thrilling experience just now was nothing, so calm that people couldn't help but grit their teeth.
"Are you OK?"
Jeanne looked worriedly at Luo Zhen, who was lying on a rock.
"fine…"
Luo Zhen could only wave his hand, and then continued to lie down, looking like he was burned out and weak.
It is obvious that the person beside him is the most famous saint in the world, the hero of France's national salvation, the object of admiration and admiration by millions of people, but Luo Zhen's attitude is so rude.
But Joan of Arc didn't care at all. The previous awe and determination had disappeared, replaced by a peaceful expression.
"Thank you very much for the rescue."
Joan of Arc first solemnly thanked Luo Zhen, and then said this.
"I am a servant of the ruler class. You must already know my real name."
Hearing Joan's self-introduction, Luo Zhen had a slight reaction.
"Ruler...?"
Luo Zhen looked at Joan of Arc.
〈ruler(adjudicator)〉.
That was the same as Mashu's class, and it was an unorthodox class that did not belong to the seven major classes.
Servants who can obtain this class are generally legendary saints and saintesses, or only heroic spirits who have no desire to place their hopes on the can form a spiritual base with this class and become the followers of the ruler.
The situation when the ruler is summoned can be roughly divided into two types.
1: When there is a Holy Grail War taking place somewhere in the world, and the form of this Holy Grail War is too special, and the outcome is unknown, and external forces need to intervene, then the will summon the ruler class servants on its own, so that Like a referee, it maintains the fairness of the Holy Grail War and eliminates abnormalities in the occurrence of the Holy Grail War.
2: When there is a Holy Grail War taking place somewhere in the world, and the impact of this Holy Grail War may distort the world, then the will also summon servants of the ruler class to intervene.
In view of this, servants of the ruler class will not only retain the memory of participating in the Holy Grail War, but unlike other servants, once they return to the , the memory will be recovered by the main body and will not be inherited when summoned again. This memory, and servants of this class can also have many privileges and exercise various abilities.
According to Chaldean records, Luo Zhen also roughly knows several abilities of Ruler.
For example, even Assassin's can nullify the servant's ability to search for enemies, and the search range has a radius of ten kilometers.
Another example is to master the true name of the servant. No matter what kind of servant he is, except for special circumstances, he will be known by the other party as soon as he appears in the ruler's field of vision.
What's more, the servants of this class also have command spells that can exercise the power of command twice for each riding servant.
It can be said that the appearance of a ruler-class servant is a foul act in itself.
No.
It should be said that they themselves represent the rules and naturally have privileges that other servants cannot achieve.
If Joan of Arc is really a servant of the ruler class, then she will not only have many abilities that are beneficial to combat, but coupled with her own combat power, she will at least be a top-level servant, enough to rank as the highest-level familiar.
The problem is that…
"Your abilities seem to have been weakened a lot."
Luo Zhen raised this question.
Relying on his ability as a master, Luo Zhen can easily see that Jeanne's current ability value is not only very weak, but also has a childish feeling, and cannot be called the highest-level familiar at all.
If you use the Noble Phantasm, Jeanne d'Arc will still have strong defensive power, but without using the Noble Phantasm, Jeanne d'Arc is really weak now. It is estimated that she can barely deal with ten bipedal flying dragons.
Is this also the reason why Joan of Arc was crushed to death by Black Joan of Arc
It was naturally impossible for Joan of Arc not to know her own situation, so she made a very complicated statement.
"Yes, my power has been weakened a lot. Not only that, the privileged abilities of being a ruler have been almost completely taken away, not to mention the command spells used on servants, even the search ability and the ability to detect the true name. It no longer exists.”
This is Joan of Arc's current situation.
The reason why this happens is very simple.
"Perhaps it's because this situation is quite special?" Joan of Arc said solemnly: "The Holy Grail War ritual should be held to determine ownership. Not only did it not play its role as a trophy, it was also lost in advance. In the hands of a servant, my summons became incomplete."
The ruler is a servant summoned by the to maintain the order of the Holy Grail War.
But the so-called Holy Grail War that Joan wanted to protect not only did not start, but also ended inexplicably, but it was still used for evil, thus affecting the world.
Under such circumstances, Joan of Arc's summons became incomplete due to contradictions, and her ability level was greatly weakened. Not to mention, she even lost the privilege of being a ruler.
"Of course, it's also possible that the re-summoning of me became incomplete because the fell into the hands of another me."
Jeanne smiled bitterly.
According to the saint, she was summoned yesterday and learned that she had been summoned to the era and country where she lived, and that there was another version of herself doing evil here.
Under such circumstances, Joan of Arc started to head towards Orleans with shock and doubts in her mind, trying to find her other self and find out the truth. Finally, she encountered Luo Zhen and others attacking Orleans.
Realizing that this was a good opportunity, Jeanne infiltrated into Orleans with the help of friends she met during the journey, and met another version of herself.
As a result, the two sides entered a fighting situation. During the fierce battle, Luo Zhen broke in.
These explanations from Joan of Arc allowed Luo Zhen to confirm one of his conjectures.
"As expected, you have a companion."
When Joan told Luo Zhen that the dragon species in the hall were hypnotized by magic, Luo Zhen guessed that Joan might have companions to help.
Otherwise, with Jeanne's current ability, even if she takes advantage of the melee, she would not be able to get into the castle, and the giant dragon would not be hypnotized.
Since these companions of Joan of Arc are so capable, they can only be servants.
In other words…
"Besides you, are there any other servants who are not part of the force that have been summoned?"
Luo Zhen asked this question.
The answer is yes.
"Yes." Joan of Arc nodded and said, "They should all be neutral servants who were summoned because of the reaction of the ."
That's what Jeanne said.
"I'll take you to see them."
