The Joan of Arc mentioned by Altoria is completely different from the Joan of Arc that Luo Zhen knew.
Therefore, Luo Zhen had to wonder whether Altoria (Alter) had met a servant pretending to be Joan of Arc.
This is not that unusual. Even Jing Ming has an ever-changing appearance and can transform into anyone with a similar body shape to herself. If there is a servant who can transform into Joan of Arc and pretend to be Joan of Arc, it is not difficult at all. Bar
Anyway, Luo Zhen would never believe that the Joan of Arc mentioned by Altoria and the Joan of Arc he knew were the same person.
then...
"No matter what, let's go confirm it first."
Luo Zhen spoke like this.
"I will make a good judgment on whether the other party is worth saving."
Luo Zhen's words can be regarded as comforting Altoria.
Otherwise, His Majesty the Knight King will definitely leave without hesitation and will not miss him at all.
as expected...
"... In that case, let's go over and have a look, even though I don't want to."
After saying this, Artoria finally gave up the idea of leaving.
Luo Zhen then looked at Jing Ming, who had been nestling silently in his arms. For some reason, his pretty face was still slightly red, and she looked vaguely happy.
"You know where Joan of Arc's cell is, right? Can you help us lead the way?"
Luo Zhen said this.
"Yes, of course no problem."
Jing Ming remained as before, extremely obedient to Luo Zhen's words, even to the extent that he was far less obedient than Alter, the king to whom he was loyal, making people doubt that the king to whom Hassan was loyal , is it Altoria [Alter] or Luo Zhen.
But no matter what, it is better to have an obedient follower than to have some lawless followers with excessive self-awareness.
At that moment, everyone followed Jing Ming to the other direction of the underground cell.
Afterwards, Luo Zhen learned the reason for Jing Ming's attitude from Altoria.
"In her lifetime, in order to carry out assassination missions, she had entered into lovers and fiancée relationships with the assassination targets many times. In other words, she had been repeatedly constructing and taking away the "virtual happiness" that would ultimately prove fruitless. Such behavior caused the spirit to begin to rub and become dislocated. It was not until she was beheaded to death by a certain country's general who was suspicious of her that he would not even touch her, that she ended her life. The reason why she was beheaded was said to be her. She confessed her identity as the assassin and begged the general to kill her. "
"She is an honest assassin who lacks self-assertion. When she was alive, she was a girl who only continued to carry out quite mechanical assassinations. She has basically not changed much now that she has become a heroic spirit, but she still has a strong sense of the objects she touches. Whether she will live or die, this is the most important thing for her, because she cannot control her poison. As long as the opponent is life, anyone who touches her will be poisoned, without exception, even those close to her."
"So, if there is someone who touches her but will not die, then she will offer absolute loyalty and a calm and fanatical sense of devotion. As long as it is for this person, literally, she will do anything for him. Okay, even if this person wants her to massacre her, she will obey without changing her expression or saying a word."
"For her, who takes it for granted that "whoever she touches will die", it will be the supreme joy when someone "who will not die even if she touches him" appears. "
This is the reason for Jing Ming's attitude towards Luo Zhen.
Therefore, Luo Zhen still doesn't know that as early as when he hugged Jing Ming and asked her if she was okay without changing his expression, from that time on, this girl could not live without him.
This also created the bond between Luo Zhen and Jing Ming.
... ... ... ...
Under the leadership of Jing Ming, everyone left the interrogation room and continued to go deeper.
On the way, monsters continued to attack in a steady stream, but they were all easily dealt with by Mashu and Altria, while Luo Zhen stopped using spells.
There is no other reason, it's just because Jing Ming has been sticking to Luo Zhen's side and doesn't want to leave at all.
This girl was extremely attached to the feeling of Luo Zhen's skin-to-skin contact. She was literally clinging to him. Her body kept rubbing against Luo Zhen's arm, making Luo Zhen feel waves of indescribable wonderful touches.
That kind of touch really made Luo Zhen have the urge to swallow his saliva.
In the past, Luo Zhen might have been able to force himself to be calm, but since eating meat, Luo Zhen's thirst and desire in this area have been completely released. The need is so strong that Asuna doesn't know how many times she has complained and feared it. Second-rate.
Under such circumstances, Luo Zhen couldn't even imagine what he would be like if he and Jing Ming were alone together now.
He will definitely explode on the spot and make mistakes that any man would make, right
Luo Zhen complained about this.
But when Luo Zhen asked Jing Ming to stay away from him, the girl showed an expression as if she had been hit by an unprecedented blow, as if she had encountered the end of the world. If there was no knife in her hand, maybe She would kill herself on the spot, maybe.
With no other choice, Luo Zhen had no choice but to let her go, causing Ma Xiu to cast sad glances frequently, making Luo Zhen complain again and again, wanting to scream a few times and avenge everyone.
"It's really hard for me."
Luo Zhen only swallowed all the bitter water in his stomach like this.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, Jing Ming took action once.
That was when a resentful spirit luckily passed through the defensive circle of Mashu and Artoria (Alter), roared, and pounced on Luo Zhen.
At that time, Luo Zhen was still complaining, and his response became a little slow. Instead, he became quiet, as if some warning switch had been touched, and he stepped forward on the spot.
Then, Jing Ming used a kunai or a dart-like weapon to cut open his palm, spilled the blood, and drenched the resentful soul, making the resentful soul howl miserably on the spot, as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid. It seemed to be corroded on the spot and disappeared into thin air.
The poison of silence is so powerful that it can kill even the undead.
However, he ran up to Luo Zhen with a hopeful look on his face, looking like he was begging for praise, which left Luo Zhen speechless for a long time.
As for the people in Chaldea, they were already scared to death.
"This kid is indeed a bit scary!"
Roman just shouted.
Fortunately, everyone's journey did not last too long.
Everyone stopped when they came to a cell in the deepest part.
"right here."
Jing Ming pointed to the cell.
There, a girl was leaning against the wall, also hanging by chains, losing her freedom.
"Um?"
The girl seemed to notice the movement and opened her eyes.
"well?"
Luo Zhen and Ma Xiu finally saw the servants in the cell, showing expressions of astonishment.
"She...she is...!?"
Everyone in Chaldea also saw the other party's appearance clearly and were shocked.
Luo Zhen, Ma Xiu and the girl looked at each other and immediately opened their eyes wide.
A second later...
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!?"
Several extremely shocked screams rang out and echoed in the cell.
