Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

At the end of his speech, Arash showed a confident smile with shining teeth.

Arash's figure gradually became transparent as the magic power was cut off, until it turned into countless starlight points.

112 Four consecutive draws, the ashes of the saint

Bang!

A clear voice sounded.

After Arash's figure disappeared, the materialized holy relic arrow fell back to the ground.

"It can be considered as sending him away." Fan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the holy relic that had fallen to the ground nearby, but ignored it for the time being. The last holy relic left by Arash allowed him to summon something, but he would never be able to do so in this lifetime.

"However, such a situation seems to go against the original logic of the operation of magic power, right?"

Fan Yu turned his gaze to Marisbury and gave him a questioning look.

Marisbury understood what was in Fan Yu's eyes. He thought for a moment and responded, "This situation is probably still a relatively extreme one, not a typical one."

"Oh?"

Then, Marisbil pointed to the spot under his feet and said, “I’m afraid it’s because we set up the summoning ritual and the magic power supply of the spirit vein here.

In a place like this, the Heroic Spirits at the Throne of Heroes will automatically designate those of us with Magic Circuits as Masters after responding. Even if the Spiritual Veins are severed, they can still sustain the Heroic Spirits; this is a natural systemic rule for mitigating risk.

"Of course, although what happened just now was an accident, once Arash leaves the territory of Yuanzang Mountain, he will disappear due to the lack of magic power."

Fan Yu: "So, we need a more precise target in this regard?"

Marisbury nodded and explained, "Well, perhaps we could refer to the Command Seal system developed by the Tong family during the Holy Grail War. That technique has been able to remain unchanged for hundreds of years, so it must be a relatively complete system."

The second half of the sentence was just his suggestion.

They have skipped the original tedious summoning ritual, and now lack the possibility of forcibly anchoring the servant.

Although research has reached this point, returning to the Command Spell system may seem like going back to one's past, but in order to establish a more convenient Heroic Spirit Summoning, it is definitely better to maintain a stable state.

In summary, they have been here for so long, and all they have done is to find [more time-saving], [more efficient], [more accurate] in the original Heroic Spirit Summoning.

And there are many cases like Arash's where there is a lack of restraint.

Marisbury looked at Fan Yu, trying to seek his opinion.

Fan Yu thought about it for a while and then nodded.

He turned to Medea on the side and said, "Repair the summoning formation!"

Medea: "Me?"

Fan Yu hummed: "Of course, you destroyed the summoning circle just now."

"laugh--!"

Medea crushed something in her hand, her face grimacing. She had just stepped forward to solve the problem out of kindness, seeing her Master was in danger. Now that the problem was solved, she was asked to get it back. If she had known this would happen, she would have simply done nothing.

With resentment in her heart, Medea walked to the damaged summoning circle, squatted down, and began to repair it with the radiance of her magic.

In just a moment, the summoning magic circle was repaired.

Without wasting too much time, Fan Yu asked Marisbilly to input the spell system's techniques into it, and then began the second summoning.

This time, Fan Yu also took out the backpack from the foot of the mountain and took out a piece of cavalry fragment from it.

This holy relic was collected together with Arash's arrow. With the idea of ​​testing it, Fanyu threw it in amidst a burst of white light.

Following the rhythm of the Heroic Spirit Summoning Field, a black man in golden armor appeared after a flash of white light.

"I am Darius III, King of the Achaemenids of Persia..."

He was about 2 meters tall, wearing a golden battle skirt and holding two axes. His appearance added a sense of oppression to the entire cave, but there was also a mark of the Command Seal in Fan Yu's hand.

He gave the order directly: "Issue the order here with the first command, stop the action!"

"Uoooohhhh!"

Darius III seemed to have fallen into a state of frenzy. He squatted down under the forced suppression of the Command Spell. A dissatisfied appeal came from his throat, but all of this was ignored by Fan Yu.

Marisbury looked at this scene with embarrassment on his face: "Sorry, this is my mistake."

Fan Yu shook his head, his eyes fixed on Darius III's golden armor. "If you can pinpoint a target precisely through relics, that's a different kind of precision. In this case, you only need to search for relics to find the Servant you want."

Marisbilly hesitated, "...this also needs to take into account the responses of the Servants on the Throne of Heroes, right?"

What they built is not a coin-operated machine where you can get the toy you want just by inserting a coin.

Furthermore, in a situation that wasn't a Holy Grail War or a historical crisis, successfully summoning those Heroic Spirits was inherently precarious. Most Heroic Spirits were aggressive, and summoning them under such circumstances would likely resent them.

Finding a good reason was Marisbury's biggest headache. Even though both attempts were successful, the chance of success was too great.

"I don't need you anymore, step back!" Fan Yu raised his hand and issued two command spells in succession.

At the same time, as the ritual in the instrument was interrupted, Darius III, who had lost his magic power supply, gradually became transparent and disappeared from the spot in less than a few minutes.

"Then - use this next, it will be the final confirmation." Fan Yu threw out another dagger from his pocket.

A new round of summoning heroic spirits has ended.

The third servant is a petite, white-haired loli wearing tights.

Fan Yu held his chin in his hand and said, "This time, the female character I wanted is actually the one I wanted, but she's too young."

Without giving the other party a chance to speak, Fan Yu used the Command Spell to cancel it, cutting off the supply of magic power in the cave and causing it to dissipate from its original location.

"The instrument is a little overheated today. It can only be used twice at most. Do you want to continue?" Marisbilly asked tactfully.

"Go on." Fan Yu nodded.

There are no restrictions on magic power, nor are there any restrictions like those in the Holy Grail War.

After a long time, he finally found a convenient way to summon heroic spirits. Naturally, he had to use up all the holy relics he had previously obtained...

Fourth place.

The holy relic that Fan Yu threw into the summoning field was the ashes of the saint who was burned to death in the French Museum, although he didn't know whether the ashes were real or fake.

A flash of white light.

Soon after……

A witch wearing a helmet, a black battle skirt, and holding a black flag slowly walked out of the summoning field.

113 The Burned Saint Resurrects and Starts a War

The moment she appeared, the center of the entire summoning field became distorted.

A dark red magical power emerged from the center, filled with an ominous aura.

Her silver hair fluttered in the breeze, and her golden pupils looked around with a look of boredom in them.

Finally, she fixed her gaze on a man whose aura was connected to hers.

"Servant, Avenger, I have come to answer the call... I heard that someone here wants to connect with me? What's wrong... with that expression on your face?" The woman holding the Holy Dragon Flag looked at him with disgust in her eyes.

Fan Yu: "..."

There were no errors in the summoning process this time.

She is not a man, nor is she the short girl like Assassin before. Just from the appearance, whether it is the other party's face or figure, in every sense, she is a connection target that fits Fan Yu's perspective of [Harmonious Bliss].

however--

This seemed completely different from the image of the French saint in his mind.

"Is this... that saint?" Medea knew in advance about the holy relic in Fan Yu's hand, and her face was filled with confusion.

Joan of Arc, a French hero who liberated Orleans during the Hundred Years' War between England and France in the 15th century, is also a Catholic saint.

According to historical records, she was burned at the stake in Lyon, France on May 30, 1431. She was exonerated 25 years later and was canonized as a saint by the Vatican 500 years later.

This is the brief life story of Joan of Arc, detailing her origins in a rural village and her claim to have received divine guidance, leading France to victory in numerous wars. Her famous lifting of the Siege of Orleans is particularly remembered in history.

It is said that she was a very devout Catholic. When she was burned at the stake during her lifetime, she held a cross in her hands, showing her firm belief in her faith.

But everything seems different from what is recorded in history.

Fan Yu: "Perhaps there is a deviation between true history and reality."

By establishing a connection between servant and master with the other party, Fan Yu learned the other party's identity.

Joan of Arc [Alter]

His class is Avenger.

Different from the seven classes in the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, but based on the recent understanding of the Holy Grail War history of the Einzbern family.

If their Holy Grail War this time really completed the harvest of souls as planned, then with Irisviel as the medium, the real Holy Grail might appear, but it might also be the new Heroic Spirit that Einzbern illegally summoned during the previous war...

An existence named Angra Mainyu, who bore the evil of this world and polluted the Holy Grail.

This class is based on the existence of completely different personalities among the original historical Heroic Spirits.

For example, a normal hero completes a war and dies heroically. He (she) signs a contract with Alaya and enters the Throne of Heroes, and will be summoned according to the normal rank.

However, if the hero's death is caused by a scheme or conspiracy after the war, his image may be distorted, completely negating his previously recognized great deeds, and he may appear as an "evil" figure.

Of course, the reason for the appearance of Jeanne d'Arc Alter in front of us and her origin are indeed curious.

At this moment, all Fan Yu felt was the direct malice of this heroic spirit towards him as the master.

"Hey, hey, don't look at me like that. It's disgusting to treat me as that woman without your permission." Joan of Arc Alter had a gloomy face, and her expression was full of displeasure.

Hearing her words, Medea in the field asked curiously: "The woman you are talking about, is it Joan of Arc?"

Jeanne Atler glanced at the female servant and recognized the evil aura she exuded. She hummed, "Of course, besides that disgusting woman, who else could arouse my disgust?

Anyone who is unhappy with me can just be burned to death. But I can’t do anything about that woman.”

Her words made everyone present even more confused.

"...Then, who are you?"

"Who am I?" Jeanne Alter smiled and looked at Fan Yu: "Shouldn't he already know?"

Fan Yu held his chin in his hand. "You are Joan of Arc, not the one we know. To be honest, are you inspired by the 'burned Joan of Arc' and thus responded to this call?"

"That's wrong. That's not the case with me. I'm a completely different person than that guy. I'm the resurrected Jill..."

She still had a gloomy face, with a look of sarcasm in her eyes.

Marisbury, standing by, seemed lost in thought and asked hesitantly, "Gil de Ray?"

At this point, facing the puzzled looks from those around him, he quickly added, "Gilles de Rais was a general who followed Joan of Arc and a famous marshal of France."

"You're right. Although this guy is a sissy, he has a good brain." Joan of Arc Alter praised Marisbury.

Although for Marisbury, it would be better not to say this.

"You said Gilles de Rais resurrected you, but there doesn't seem to be any mention of this in history." Medea asked in confusion.

Jeanne Alter: "Hmm?"

This time it was her turn to feel confused. She glanced around with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Although this dark cave is very suitable for my dragon to survive, why do I feel like this place doesn't belong to Orleans?"

"Wait, a flying dragon?" Medea asked in surprise.

As far as she knew, after the fall of her own Age of Gods, these magical creatures had rarely appeared. And Jeanne's time was only 500 years away from the present. From the perspective of magical legends, the timeline was no longer considered 'ancient'.

"Of course. After Gilles resurrected me, I summoned flying dragons to destroy France, triggering a massive evil dragon war that lasted for a hundred years. Haha, what's wrong? Isn't my glorious history recorded in your history? I am known as the [Dragon Witch]." Jeanne Alter sneered.

Everyone: "..."

Joan of Arc's words made everyone feel like they were listening to a story.

Whether it is modern times or mythological times, official history or unknown records, although there are some modifications, the records left to future generations will never deviate too much.

But [the burned-to-death French saint was resurrected, rose from the ground, and summoned a flying dragon to destroy France]...

This is outrageous!

114 Jeanne d'Arc Alter, connection successful

This cannot be explained simply by a deviation from history.

Jeanne Alter's words felt like they came from a completely different world.

She seemed to have noticed the expressions on everyone's faces, and the smile on her face gradually faded. She waved her hand thoughtfully in the air and said, "The magic power is very strong, but the flying dragon I summoned seems to be unable to reappear.
