When Luo Zhen came here, Gil was standing in a bush behind the clearing, staring blankly in the direction of the clearing, with emotions such as trance, intoxication, pain, etc. showing in his eyes.
In the open space she was looking at, Joan of Arc held the holy flag in her hand and looked at the night sky, bathed in the moonlight, looking extremely beautiful.
Jill just watched Joan of Arc silently in the dark.
It wasn't until Luo Zhen arrived and made a surprised sound that Gil seemed to come back to his senses and turned his head.
"… is it you?"
Gil did not feel ashamed because he was discovered. Instead, he lowered his eyes slightly and nodded to Luo Zhen.
The surprise on Luo Zhen's face slowly disappeared. He glanced at Jeanne d'Arc, who was looking at the night sky in the open space, and then slowly approached Jill.
I don’t know if it’s Luo Zhen’s illusion.
Luo Zhen always felt that the marshal, who was so skinny and skinny, seemed even more haggard than when they first met.
And if you think about it, you will know why Jill became like this.
"What?" Luo Zhen pretended to be careless and said, "Have you not talked to Joan of Arc yet?"
Ever since Joan of Arc appeared in the camp in the morning and reunited with Jill, the two of them had been in a somewhat delicate situation.
Specifically, Jeanne seemed to be deliberately avoiding Jill and not coming into contact with her. Even in public, Jeanne would not choose to exchange eyes with Jill, so that Jill could only look at Jeanne's side in confusion every time. Face, paying no attention to the topics of the other people present.
It's the same now.
Until now, Joan of Arc seems to be avoiding Jill and not having contact with him.
The reason will become clear if you think about it for a while.
"She must not want to affect my prestige in the military by contacting me too frequently, right?"
Jill looked at Jeanne again and spoke like a murmur.
"That's the kind of person she is."
Who caused Joan of Arc to be put on guard by the French soldiers as a "Dragon Witch"
Even though Gil had suppressed the panic in the army, even Gil himself had not received a full explanation, and did not learn from Jeanne's mouth why she was still in this world a few days after being burned to death. , let alone the soldiers in the army, no one knows.
This resulted in Joan of Arc not only avoiding Gill, but also avoiding the soldiers of the French Army.
Not having contact with Gil was a last resort to prevent him from being suspected by the soldiers of colluding with the Dragon Witch.
Of course, this is just one of the reasons.
Luo Zhen also knew that with Joan of Arc's character, she must have considered it more.
For example, I don’t want Jill to have too many expectations.
If contact with Gill gave rise to the expectation that Joan is still alive and that there must be a way to save her and return her to France, then when everything is over and Joan returns to the , give Gill The pain and despair it brings are even more unimaginable, right
However, in Luo Zhen's view, such consideration is meaningless at all.
because…
"When the singularity is eliminated and human nature is refounded, all anomalies that do not belong to this era will be eliminated from the world, including memory. At that time, Marshal Gill will not remember that you have survived, so why do you have to worry about giving him What about bringing excessive expectations?”
Luo Zhen once said this to Joan of Arc.
It's a pity that Joan of Arc answered like this.
"Even if the memory won't stay, there will definitely be something left behind. That's what I believe."
The Saint of Orleans' words that seemed both prophecy and soliloquy determined her attitude towards Gill.
In view of this, Joan of Arc has not had a decent conversation with Jill this day.
And perhaps because he saw Joan of Arc's decision, Jill would watch her silently like this without being noticed by her.
Luo Zhen did not interfere too much.
Although it is a bit hard to understand, Luo Zhen's life experience is not rich enough to enable him to deal with other people's complex interpersonal relationships.
People's hearts are always the most unpredictable.
Luo Zhen can formulate tactics for a battle, and can also formulate strategies for a war, but he has no way to deal with such personal emotional issues.
"After all, it's not taught in books."
This is the defect of being rich in knowledge but lacking in life experience.
Luo Zhen could only watch helplessly as Jill did her thing in a clumsy way and spoke like this.
"Then what are you going to do?"
This is the most direct and complex question.
How to do it
I believe that Jill must have her own ideas, right
as expected…
“… There’s still no change in what I want to do.”
Jill was silent for a while, and then spoke silently.
"I'm going to go to Orleans and do what I have to do."
After speaking, Gil turned his head and looked at Luo Zhen.
"It's up to you tomorrow."
After leaving such words, Gil turned around and left quietly, leaving Joan's side.
Luo Zhen watched Jill leave quietly, and then approached Jeanne.
As a result, before Luo Zhen could call out to Jeanne, Jeanne spoke.
"Did Gil leave?"
The saint continued to look at the night sky and only said this sentence.
Apparently, Joan discovered Jill's existence.
That is also natural.
Even if her ability value has dropped a lot, Jeanne is still a Servant, and she is still a human being. Gil, who has not become a Heroic Spirit, can't possibly hide his whereabouts in front of her, right
Luo Zhen also expected this and nodded helplessly.
"he left."
After saying this, Luo Zhen changed the topic very wisely.
"Why don't you go to the party?"
This is also a question that is asked knowingly, right
After all, as mentioned before, the French army does not welcome Joan of Arc. As long as Joan of Arc appears, the banquet will be impossible to complete anyway.
Luo Zhen would ask this question, just casually.
Joan of Arc seemed to have noticed this, and said something considerate.
"Maybe there will be a flying dragon appearing, and someone has to be on guard."
This is also a consideration.
Luo Zhen said nothing more and came to Jeanne's side, looking at the night sky with her.
There was an uncomfortable and quite tacit silence between the two of them.
"tomorrow…"
I don’t know how much time passed before Joan of Arc suddenly spoke.
However, just as Jeanne opened her mouth, Luo Zhen interrupted her.
"Tomorrow, we will win."
Luo Zhen smiled slightly and said this in an extremely relaxed tone.
"Just confirming this is enough, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Jeanne was startled for a moment, then smiled.
"Yes."
Joan of Arc declared to Luo Zhen, herself, and everyone in this era.
"We will win."
"must."
Joan of Arc confirmed this and was no longer confused.
The two looked at the night sky again.
Until a long time... a long time...
