Luo Zhen just stayed by Bedivere's side, watching him, venting all his inner feelings for his own destiny.
Arturia (Alter), on the other hand, left with peace of mind, walking in the dark alleys unknown to anyone, heading to her palace.
However, before that, Artoria met someone she didn't really want to see.
Just at the corner of the alley, two people dressed in black met at the same time and broke into each other's field of vision.
"..."
Artoria [Alter] suddenly stopped.
"..."
Jeanne d'Arc (Alter) also stopped.
The two looked at each other.
Soon...
""Tsk... ""
As if they were disgusted with something, the two servants in the reversed state were stunned at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, Artoria [Alter] took the lead in speaking out.
"It's reasonable for someone like you to appear in a place like this, Gloomy Witch."
Artoria [Alter] expressed her opinion without any hesitation like this.
"Aren't you not far behind? The Cold Knight."
Not to be outdone, Jeanne [Alter] fought back.
"What I call an inspection. As a king, I have to take good care of my subjects. However, when the subjects see the king's figure, they will only be too frightened, so I call it compassion. Do you understand? Dragon Riding Girl?"
Artoria (Alter) said this in a matter-of-fact tone.
"What a coincidence. I just happened to take care of the dragon species that will be used tomorrow. Compared with the idiot leaders led by the idiot king, the dragons are more pleasing to the eye. What do you think? Idiot King?"
Joan of Arc (Alter) spoke sarcastically.
"I don't hate dragons, but I hate dragons that only know how to breathe fire. Don't you think the dragons you take care of are all very similar to you? Fire-breathing girl?"
Artoria (Alter) said this to the witch in front of her with a look of disdain.
"This is good. As long as they can breathe fire obediently and burn out all the stupid territorial citizens and stupid lords who only talk about glory and order but actually have no ability at all, that's already good. Are you done? Do you owe me your mouth?"
Joan of Arc's (Alter's) smile looked so evil.
Artoria [Alter] finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"You're the one who owes it, right? Assault Girl?"
There was murderous intent in Artoria's (Alter) eyes.
"Don't you have a problem with your words? A cold-blooded woman?"
Jeanne [Alter] stared back with the same murderous eyes.
"It seems that you don't really want to participate in tomorrow's battle. Do you want me to report your absence?"
At some point, Artoria (Alter) held the pitch-black Holy Sword in her hand.
"What a coincidence, that's what I wanted to say."
Joan of Arc [Alter] also held the cursed flag in her hand.
The two of them stared at each other, with murderous intent in their eyes, and the weapons in their hands began to fluctuate with magic power, burning slowly like flames.
However, other than that, the two of them could do nothing.
""Tsk... ""
Not long after, the two of them were speechless again and put away their weapons.
Obviously, they all know that even if they talk about it, it is impossible to actually fight.
Not to mention considering tomorrow's battle and the issue of killing each other, let's talk about the magic power fluctuations generated during the battle. Once it is too violent, it will immediately attract the attention of others.
At least, the Master who made the contract with the two of them will definitely notice.
If you lure him here, it won't be necessary.
Therefore, the two of them could only talk harsh words, but in fact it was impossible to take action.
"It's a pity. It's obviously a good opportunity."
Artoria [Alter] said this without being discouraged at all.
"Yeah, we almost got rid of the eyesore."
Joan of Arc [Alter] is still so rude.
The two of them were like a pair of enemies. Every time they met, unless there was no accident, they would have a fight like this.
There is no other reason, it's just because I don't like it.
No, whether it should be called distasteful is actually open to question.
After all, the two of them actually didn't have much of an opinion against each other. It was just because of their incompatible personalities, that is, they were unwilling to admit defeat to the other party, that they became so incompatible with each other.
But there are some things that both of them know well.
That is...
"You have to behave well tomorrow and do your best for me, Fire Girl."
Artoria (Alter) spoke condescendingly.
"Who wants to help you? Sword Girl!"
Joan of Arc (Alter) immediately retorted rather unhappily.
"Then why are you fighting?" Arturia looked into Joan of Arc's eyes and asked: "Obviously when we first met, I extended an olive branch to you. Not only did he refuse, but he also said bad words to me, and now I am standing here, for what on earth is it?"
"... Is there any need to say that?" Jeanne d'Arc (Alter) was speechless for a moment, but then said with disdain: "I just don't like the Knights of the Holy Land, and I don't like the Lion King."
"Is that true?" Artoria said calmly: "Is that really true?"
"Hey..." Jeanne d'Arc's (Alter) tone became irritated, and she glared at Artoria (Alter) and said, "Just say what you want to say, no need to provoke me."
"Then I'll tell you the truth." Artoria raised her eyes and said: "Because you have lost everything, or you have nothing in the first place, no matter what it is, it is It’s not worth caring about, so you are indifferent to everything about this singularity, otherwise you wouldn’t just wander around this land and do nothing.”
"Then what?" Jeanne d'Arc (Alter) sneered: "Do you want to say that now I have something I care about, that's why I am standing here?"
Joan of Arc's (Alter's) expression looked extremely sarcastic, as if she had heard some funny joke.
But Artoria (Alter) turned a deaf ear.
"Do you really have nothing?" Artoria (Alter) said with a hint: "Isn't that right?"
As a fake whose dream was all in vain, Jeanne d'Arc (Alter) once had one thing.
"At the end of the First Singularity, when you wanted to take revenge on the Demon God Pillar, that Master fought alongside you, right?"
Arturia (Alter) mentioned this matter.
"For the witch who was deeply immersed in false hatred, burned everything in France, and did evil things. At the end, when she came up with the idea of revenge, the master finally believed in you and chose to be with you. Fight side by side and let you succeed in revenge."
Artoria's (Alter) voice slowly entered Jeanne d'Arc's (Alter) heart.
"In other words, the only thing you, the fake, have gained is the trust of the Master."
"Even if it was just temporary trust forced by the situation, at the end of your false life, he still gave you such a thing."
"So, when he proposed to make a contract with you and asked you to come over, you would reach out your hand, wouldn't you?"
Arturia's (Alter) questions left Jeanne d'Arc (Alter) speechless.
This attitude just explains everything.
