"So you are the saint."

Jiang Chen sighed slightly.

"No, I'm not a saint."

Being praised, Bai Zhen calmed down and said, "I am just an ordinary village girl who received the Lord's revelation by chance."

After a pause, she asked, "Jiang Chen, you mean that the person who is now called the witch in Orleans is not Joan of Arc, right?"

"No, I told you..."

"I understand. She is Joan of Arc, but not me. I have no reason to seek revenge. But if she possesses my memories, she would think she is Joan of Arc, and that is why she seeks revenge against France. Therefore, this hatred is only superficial."

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, but Bai Zhen continued to speculate.

"You said before that Jill was by her side. So, the culprit behind all this is actually Jill, right?"

Gilderoy was a French nobleman. During the Hundred Years' War, he and Joan of Arc recaptured Orléans and were hailed as heroes. Known for his integrity and bravery, he was awarded the title of Marshal, the highest military honor.

However, Bai Zhen was well aware of the extreme nature of Jill's character.

After my death, the person who will suffer the most will definitely be Jill.

No longer needing Jiang Chen's confirmation, Bai Zhen said with a sad expression, "I've always known this. I've been trying to persuade him before, but why..."

Lamenting the fate of his friend.

“Everyone has his own destiny; everything is the result of his own will.”

Jiang Chen waved his hand, unconcerned about Gildre's fate. "Now that you understand the reason, what should we do now?"

"Ah, I was summoned here to stop Gil from committing further sins. He has committed an unforgivable crime. As a comrade, I should stop him and punish him."

Bai Zhen's eyes were clear.

"Given your current reduced abilities and the lack of a Master, it seems you need to use your magic power with caution even to maintain your existence?"

Bai Zhen's breathing stopped. These words were too heartbreaking.

"Um... I'm sorry, this is so sudden, but could you please be my Master for a while?"

"You were looking at me like a criminal just now."

"Ugh, I'm sorry."

Bai Zhen blushed with shame, forcing herself to meet Jiang Chen's gaze. "I was a bit shameless, and I apologize for my behavior. Please forgive me and become my Master."

The teasing is almost over.

Jiang Chen coughed in a reserved manner and took out a contract with a reluctant look.

"Mr. Jiang Chen, you..."

Mei's eyes twitched twice.

Jiang Chen winked at the girl, as if to say: Do you know how Joan of Arc was sent to the stake in history?

Then, in front of the two girls, he took out a pen and added a few clauses to the contract.

From today on, I will be Master Jiang Chen's most loyal servant, serving him until death. I will voluntarily work overtime, not asking for vacations, not slacking off, not complaining about being tired, and focusing on my work. This will be the case day and night.

Mei couldn't hold it anymore. Isn't this guy too mean?

The girl seemed to see the future where Bai Zhen worked overtime until he was unconscious.

As everyone knows, the silly French girl in front of us is illiterate.

Back then… no, not long ago, the British illegally established a court to try Joan of Arc for political purposes. Even the judges feared she would appeal to the Vatican, but the uneducated village girl never knew she had such a legitimate right. Then, she foolishly signed a replaced confession.

Otherwise, Britain would not dare to send this saint who saved the country directly to the stake.

History will repeat itself at this moment.

Mei was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see Bai Zhen being deceived, so she silently looked away.

"Jiang Chen, what is this?"

Bai Zhen looked curious.

"Oh, this. Since I'm not a proper magus, this is the only contract I know of. It basically states that you must obey my orders during the contract and not harm each other. Don't worry, Mei and I have signed a similar contract before, and the quality is guaranteed."

Jiang Chen smiled brightly.

The quality is absolutely excellent. Once you sign your name on it, it’s your lifetime commitment.

"That's it."

Bai Zhen's hand trembled.

After all, he was cheated before, and he has some psychological trauma about paper contracts.

"Don't you trust me, Jeanne? I promise, Miss Saint, I'm not lying."

Jiang Chen looked sincere and pointed to the lower right corner of the contract: "Come, sign here and put your fingerprints on it."

"Well, of course I believe Jiang Chen."

Bai Zhen froze for a moment, without even looking at it (after all, he couldn't understand it), and quickly signed his name.

Chapter 136 A black virgin lost her dream.

The next day.

Jiang Chen and Meiyi are already familiar with the process.

In simple terms: A swarm of dragons, controlled by a witch, arrives! The French soldiers flee. Joan of Arc appears to rescue them, and under the command of the Holy Banner, they counterattack. The soldiers are horrified—it's the witch! Joan of Arc flees in dismay.

"Just, I don't understand."

It’s hard to describe Meiyi in a few words.

Facing an enemy force of wyverns and dragon-tooth soldiers, Joan of Arc simply charged forward, and in the chaotic situation, few orders could be effectively executed. However, her presence ignited the French army's momentum, giving the impression that they could have won even without her.

No, you can fight, but you should fight back from the beginning. Why is your first reaction when you see the enemy to run away?

"That's quite normal. Isn't there a saying that goes like this? Only women and dwarfs can save France."

Jiang Chen pointed at France with an attitude of watching a show.

"France is a country with a lot of buffs, bringing joy to the world. For example, the Iron Bloods have a super special attack on France. As long as we bring an Iron Blood ship girl from home, France will show us their true nature."

Mei's body suddenly stiffened, and she winked at Jiang Chen frantically.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen, who was already excited, ignored him and continued with relish: "The world thinks France is a romantic country, but in fact, it is also a country that prioritizes pragmatism. They like to split the national flag into three parts. The blue flag on the left is used for royal restoration, the red flag on the right is raised when revolution breaks out, and the white flag in the middle is cut along the dotted line when fighting foreign wars. One flag has three uses, which fully shows the people's nature of living a carefree life."

He laughed loudly and immorally: "France just wants to live in peace, what's wrong with that?"

Bai Zhen, who was standing behind him and listening to the whole thing, had already blushed.

"That's not the case. White is a noble color for France! It's a symbol! It's not a sign of surrender!"

Bai Zhen couldn't bear such humiliation.

This new Master is terrible.

Jiang Chen suddenly froze, gave a guilty smile, and didn't dare to say anything.

"He's right, why are you angry?"

A slightly crazy voice sounded, a man in black armor, with silver hair and golden eyes, holding a battle flag similar to Bai Zhen's.

——Joan of ArcAlter.

As the Judge, Bai Zhen possessed the ability to see through the Servant's true name and sense the presence of the Servant within a certain range. Naturally, she noticed the Servant's reaction early on, but she didn't expect that the person who came was actually Hei Zhen, the apparent final boss.

"Master, please step back."

Bai Zhen silently protected Jiang Chen behind her.

"Ha~ To think such a thing could happen! I thought you, a fellow Joan of Arc, would understand me, but I didn't expect you to be so foolish after your transformation. Why are you still defending this foolish country? They betrayed you, they spit on you. A country that needed a woman to save it, yet you killed the only saint who could save it. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Black Zhen didn't care about White Zhen's hostility. She looked at the three of them with great interest: "Fafnir and Vlad disappeared. Was it you who did it?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Jiang Chen chuckled: "I'm curious, why are you here?"

"Of course I came to see what kind of fool could have any hope for a country that even its master had given up on."

"Lord, have you given up France?"

Bai Zhen frowned deeply.

"Yes, that's perfectly normal. I can no longer hear the Lord's voice. Doesn't this simply mean that even the Lord feels that France is beyond redemption and has no further hope? So I will destroy it. I will carry out the Lord's lament. I will transform this place into a silent kingdom of the dead. You are also Joan of Arc. If you still hold on to your faith, you should join me."

Hei Zhen stretched out her hand, hoping Bai Zhen would respond.

She seemed to have vaguely sensed something and tried her best to gain Bai Zhen's approval.

“What a foolish act…The Lord will never give up on His believers!”

"it's a pity."

Hei Zhen shook her head regretfully, her tone becoming deeper. "Master over there, you just asked me why I was here, right? I came here to laugh at your stupidity, and now it seems you are indeed stupid, so I'll kill you. It's common sense to eliminate threatening enemies in advance, right?"

"Roar--"

Countless roars echoed in the sky above.

Dense swarms of wyverns blocked out the sky, the dark shadows beneath Heizhen's feet twisted, and thousands of dragon-fang soldiers surged out like a wave.

Jiang Chen was stunned.

How come you, Heizhen, are turning against Tiangang? How can a mere French village girl learn blitzkrieg?

but.

"Let's get rid of the troublesome guy first. We have the same idea."

Jiang Chen expressed his appreciation for Hei Zhen's ideas.

"Miss Mei, could you please take care of the dragons in the sky? I'll protect the Master."

Bai Zhen waved the battle flag and crushed the attacking Dragon Tooth soldiers.

Mei nodded and summoned the enhanced version of Kurikara, crushing the wyverns in the sky.

On the ground, Bai Zhen faced an endless stream of Dragon Fang soldiers with ease. The immense magical power transmitted from her Master... should it be magic? In short, the feeling of fullness in her body gave her a surge of combat power. No matter how many soldiers there were, they couldn't harm her. It was only a matter of time before she swept through the Dragon Fang soldiers.

However, as time passed, Bai Zhen inevitably deviated from her original position, and Jiang Chen stood still again.

This is the opportunity that Hei Zhen has been waiting for.

"Heh~ Naive fool, just watch as I kill your Master!"

Hei Zhen immediately started to sprint at full speed.

She still understands the principle of capturing the leader first. Even a top-level servant will be weakened without a Master. Then she can control him however she wants, right?

Heizhen A went up.

Black Zhen was captured.

"..."

The black village girl looked as if she had seen a ghost.

Is this the Master? I've never heard of a Master who slaps a Servant to the ground and makes him unable to get up again!

"Why bother?"

"Gu~ Kill me."

Heizhen closed her eyes and opened her mouth, having lost her ideals.

The development of the situation was unexpected, but this might be the best outcome for her. Anyway...

She suddenly recalled what she had seen and heard yesterday.

She was originally in Orleans Castle, considering her next target, when she suddenly felt her Servant's contract break and immediately wanted to find Gildre to inquire about the situation. When she arrived, she happened to hear Gildre using magic to monitor the conversation between Jiang Chen and Bai Zhen.

Yes, her hatred for France was too weak. It was simply a memory, a displeasure at the actions of those scum who had betrayed her, like a child destroying things she disliked.

That's it.
