While Archer was still confused, the girl's voice in his head had already begun announcing the new rules.

"Due to the special circumstances of this Holy Grail War, in addition to the elimination system remaining unchanged, new protective measures have been added."

"Protection measure one: the protection of the Heroic Spirit. A completely defeated Heroic Spirit will not be eliminated immediately, but will be transported to a safe location to recover from any injuries and continue to operate in the real world. However, because of being eliminated, this Heroic Spirit also loses the qualification to participate in the Holy Grail War."

"Therefore, eliminated Heroic Spirits will be able to participate in any operations other than the Holy Grail War until the end of the Holy Grail War."

Upon hearing this, Archer, Lancer, and other Heroic Spirits' eyes widened. Doesn't this mean that even after death, they can continue to act as spectators in reality?

Before they could think about it, Jeanne's second protection measure began to be said.

"Second protection measure is for the Master and civilians. Although victory can still be achieved by killing the Master, the Master enjoys the same protection as the Heroic Spirit."

"Also, I've learned that a few days ago, some Heroic Spirits attacked civilians outside of the Holy Grail War. Therefore, I'm placing a restraint on the Heroic Spirits in the name of Ruler. They cannot attack civilians outside of the Holy Grail War, nor can they cast any curses or activate their Noble Phantasms."

"If this rule prevents individual Heroic Spirits from unleashing their full power, then I apologize. While maintaining fairness and justice in the Holy Grail War, I cannot ignore the safety of civilians. Furthermore, only true heroes possess the privilege of making a wish from the Holy Grail. Those with villainous hearts, those who oppose humanity, life, and the Lord's will, will be condemned by all. The world does not want a bad person to get what they wish for. Therefore, such Heroic Spirit Masters are unworthy of making a wish from the Holy Grail."

As Jeanne mentioned this protective measure again, the seven Heroic Spirits simultaneously felt a restriction placed on their bodies.

And this limitation is precisely the limitation that prevents him from attacking civilians and activating his Noble Phantasm. Even if he wanted to do so, his body would not obey him.

This kind of rule didn't matter to Saber, Archer, Lancer, and the others, but the Heroic Spirit Scott started cursing.

"What is this? If my Noble Phantasm is locked and I can't attack civilians, how can I take revenge on those two girls in March Seven?"

"What the hell is this Ruler? Is he targeting me?" If there was a seat in front of him at this moment, Scott, the Heroic Spirit, would have wanted to overturn the table.

Although Scott was angry, Joan of Arc was not finished with her protection measures for civilians.

"The second civilian protection measure is property protection. Due to the immense power of some Heroic Spirits' Noble Phantasms when activated, they can easily cause extensive damage to buildings and ground structures after a war breaks out. Therefore, there is a certain risk of property loss to civilians."

"Due to this possibility, the Holy Grail War will undergo the following special changes. As soon as a battle between a Heroic Spirit and a Master is detected, the battle scene will immediately enter the Secondary World Dimension. This dimension is a one-to-one replica of Pinocchio and the star field within a certain range around Pinocchio."

"In this secondary world, Heroic Spirits and Masters can disrupt battles at will without worrying about harming others. As a result, all Heroic Spirits can now freely enter and exit the dream and real worlds without being affected by any equipment or memories."

"The above are the new protection measures and rules added to this Holy Grail War."

Jeanne's words fell silent for a moment, and Archer, who had listened to them, fell silent again.

"Are they actually... encouraging fighting? The emergence of these two new rules..." Archer pondered in his heart, but before he could finish his thoughts, Jeanne's voice rang out again.

"There's actually more..." Archer was shocked again.

"The above are protective measures. Now I am announcing some special permissions, as well as what I, as the Ruler, can do for the Heroic Spirits and Masters participating in the Holy Grail War, as well as some things I can and cannot do myself."

"I, Jeanne, will serve as the Ruler and judge of this special Holy Grail War and will remain absolutely neutral."

"I will not interfere with either side, nor will I shoulder any responsibility, with the exception of the eliminated Heroic Spirits and the Heroic Spirits and Masters who voluntarily gave up participating in the Holy Grail War. As Ruler, I will use the authority granted to me by my Lord to protect the eliminated Heroic Spirits and Masters who voluntarily gave up the Holy Grail War."

"At the same time, Heroic Spirits and Masters still participating in the Holy Grail War can also seek help from me. Of course, the way to seek help is also special. For example, if a Heroic Spirit has suffered serious internal injuries or an irreversible curse, and this internal injury or curse seriously affects the subsequent Holy Grail War, then you can use a single stroke of the Command Seal to purchase help from me to recover from the injury and remove the curse."

"So, this assistance is also the meaning of a special shop for the Holy Grail War. Of course, Masters should also pay attention. You only have three strokes of the Command Seals. Whether you use them yourself or purchase special assistance from me, you only have three chances."

"The Holy Grail War Special Shop has limited content. It can only heal injuries and remove curses, etc., which are affected by special factors affecting the Holy Grail War. We do not provide weapons, manpower, etc."

"The above is the description of the Holy Grail War Special Shop. Next are some additional matters related to the Holy Grail War."

"First, I, Ruler, can monitor every inch of Pinocchio, including dreams, reality, and parts of the surrounding star regions. The purpose of this monitoring is to fulfill my refereeing duties and will not affect anyone's personal affairs. Please do not worry."

"Secondly, I will reside permanently at the Pinocchio Theater until the end of the Holy Grail War. All real-world rules, such as someone renting a place for seven days, will be forcibly invalidated under the will of my Lord."

"After entering the one-kilometer radius around the Pinoconte Grand Theater, it will become a peaceful zone. No fighting is allowed here. Once a fight breaks out, all Heroic Spirits, Masters, and civilians will be forcibly transported one kilometer away from the Pinoconte Grand Theater. Therefore, Masters and Heroic Spirits, please rest assured that if you need to use Command Spells to purchase special assistance, you only need to enter within one kilometer of the Pinoconte Grand Theater and you will be safe."

"Also, during the Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail will be kept entirely by me, Ruler, and will not be returned to the person who purchased or created it until the Holy Grail War ends."

"Therefore, the owner of the Holy Grail need not worry that I will take possession of the Holy Grail."

"Finally, here are some vows from me as a Ruler."

"I, Jeanne d'Arc, will ensure fairness in this Holy Grail War. I will not interfere with any of the forces..."

"I will be loyal to my Lord and oversee the smooth conduct and conclusion of this Holy Grail War..."

The only voice in his mind was Jeanne's own oath, so Archer looked at his Master, Gold Sagittarius.

"Master, what do you think about the sudden changes in the Holy Grail War?"

"How do I see? With my eyes, of course." Shajin said with a smile as he looked at Archer.
