"Wang Chong-jun, so can you explain now?" Seeing the oppressive Hero King, who called him a king, leave, Jeanne D'Arc's tense nerves relaxed. She then looked at Wang Chong, who was standing in front of her, and asked.
"Hmm, let's explain on the way. The aura of The Master's treasure just now has probably attracted many people here. Let's leave this place first." Wang Chong pulled Jeanne D'Arc and began to swiftly evacuate the area.
Not long after, a flash of lightning and thunder streaked across the sky, and a somewhat panicked and tragic voice rang out from above: "Rider!! You idiot!! Don't drive so ostentatiously! What if someone discovers us!"
Subsequently, a burly figure with a panic-stricken, thin young man, riding in a chariot, rushed over. Unfortunately, they were destined to find nothing.
…
"So… this is the whole process of why you fought that Servant?"
At this moment, in a secluded room of a restaurant, Wang Chong and Jeanne D'Arc were discussing what had happened that morning. Wang Chong generally portrayed Mordred as an unknown Servant, and the reason she attacked him was because she sensed a faint Servant aura on him, thinking he was an easy target, and thus planned to eliminate him first.
Wang Chong also said that another Caster Servant was cooperating with the attacker; they had sealed off the entire area, intending to quietly eliminate him. However, thanks to the special nature of his black mist, he could ignore such a barrier and guide Jeanne D'Arc over.
That's right, the main reason Jeanne D'Arc came was due to the guidance of Wang Chong's black mist. From the very beginning, Wang Chong had been putting on this act for Jeanne D'Arc. It was to clear himself of suspicion and to make Jeanne D'Arc realize the seriousness of the situation, that it was no longer something she could handle alone.
"The Saber who attacked me and the Caster who concealed her tracks… plus the Assassin from last night. That's already three Servants working together." Wang Chong said, inducing her.
"There are actually three Servants…" Jeanne D'Arc frowned deeply.
"And that's not the most crucial part, Jeanne D'Arc. I discovered something during the battle just now. The Servant I summoned, who bestowed power upon me… his class is Caster. Do you know what this means?" Following this, Wang Chong threw out another weighty piece of news.
"Wait, if you are a Caster, then what about the Servant who set up the Magic Boundary outside earlier?" Jeanne D'Arc clearly noticed this point; the appearance of two Casters was something that shouldn't happen in a Holy Grail War.
"Either that wasn't a Servant, but the Master of that Saber, or it was another class, merely capable of using similar magical methods. Like The Master's treasure or something." Wang Chong said.
"No, that was indeed a Servant, I wouldn't be mistaken. I hope it's the latter possibility…" Jeanne D'Arc said, her brows deeply furrowed.
"But what if it isn't? What if… there really are two Casters…?"
"Then I would also understand why the great holy grail summoned me to judge the victory of the Holy Grail War and to maintain its progress. The specifications of the Heroic Spirits this time have completely exceeded the seven-person limit; someone has used special means to summon multiple Servants. This can be seen from how tacitly these three Servants dealt with Wang Chong-jun. In this case, the matter is far beyond my control." Jeanne D'Arc said somewhat seriously.
"Someone wants to deliberately disrupt this Holy Grail War, and… has summoned multiple Servants. And I alone cannot cope with so many Servants." Jeanne D'Arc said.
"So, let's cooperate, Jeanne D'Arc." Wang Chong said, "I am the only Master who has seen them and is still alive. They certainly don't want this matter to be known by the other Masters of the Holy Grail War. So they will definitely find a way to eliminate me. And you, you also know of their existence, and you are a stumbling block to their plans. We have the same position. Therefore, the two of us must now unite."
"Just the two of us? Shouldn't we inform the other Masters and try to get their help?" Jeanne D'Arc asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's useless. Even if you reveal your Ruler identity and inform them of this situation, they haven't encountered such a situation of being ambushed by unknown Servants, so they won't believe it. People are more willing to believe their own eyes than what they hear from others. Moreover, these people are very eager for victory in the Holy Grail War, and there is only one winner, which means these Masters cannot possibly cooperate, and will even backstab each other. Human nature is like this, you should be very clear about this, Holy Maiden of France."
Wang Chong's words made Jeanne D'Arc fall silent. As someone who had been backstabbed and betrayed, she naturally understood the ugliness of human nature.
"Of course, I don't need to be so absolute. If there are suitable Masters, we will naturally bring them into the fold. This requires the two of us to screen them. I believe in our combined judgment. However, not now. We can't even distinguish between normal Masters and anomalies. Announcing this news rashly would also be alerting the enemy, making those people temporarily hide." Wang Chong explained.
Hearing this, Jeanne D'Arc also nodded, and then asked: "Then why did you want me to pretend to be a Master before? Logically, our identities should have been known by the other party already, right?"
"This matter, first of all, is for how we will appear in public if we cooperate later. Especially how we appear before those normal Masters." Wang Chong spoke fluently, "More importantly, you were right just now, our identities are known to the other party, and, only to the other party."
Jeanne D'Arc, as if grasping something, her eyes lit up and she said, "You mean…"
"Normal Masters and Servants will all believe that we are a Master and Servant pair participating in the Holy Grail War. Only those hidden individuals will know our true identities. If multiple Servants simultaneously attack the two of us, especially if they ruthlessly attack you, a seemingly frail Master, what kind of people do you think they would be?" Wang Chong crossed his arms over his chest.
"I see, Wang Chong-jun is using this method to distinguish between Masters participating in the Holy Grail War normally and those anomalies." Jeanne D'Arc nodded and said, "As expected of Wang Chong-jun, what I didn't expect even more is that you thought so much in such a short time, right after encountering that Saber and during your battle with her."
"I can't help it, I'm a Master participating in this Holy Grail War after all. If I don't have a good head on my shoulders, I'll die, you know." Wang Chong said, shrugging.
"Hehe… But from what I see so far, Wang Chong-jun seems to have a considerably high chance of winning." Jeanne D'Arc said with a smile.
"I'll take that as a good omen. But given my current situation, can I still be considered a normal Holy Grail War Master? Perhaps I'm already an anomaly myself." Wang Chong's eyes darted around as he frankly said, "After dealing with those guys, will Lady Jeanne D'Arc plan to make a move on me? After all, putting our private friendship aside, I am well aware of your very just character, Lady Jeanne D'Arc."
"That would only be if it's confirmed that you are indeed an anomaly. But… your situation, where the Master and Servant are together… let's talk about it after everything is resolved. At least, I can guarantee your safety, Wang Chong-jun, and ensure your safe exit. This is one of my few small personal biases, I suppose. The Holy Grail should understand as well." Jeanne D'Arc said with a smile.
"Then, please guide me ~ My Master." Wang Chong extended his hand and said.
"Hmm, please guide me… Uh, is the Servant's name also Wang Chong-jun?"
"You can call me Caster, or you can call me Broken King. That's the title of the guy who left me his power." Wang Chong said.
"Broken King? What a strange title… Is there such a Heroic Spirit?" Jeanne D'Arc frowned. Neither in her memory nor in the knowledge bestowed by the Holy Grail had she heard of a Servant by this name. Therefore, Jeanne D'Arc could only temporarily make a note of this name, to see if she could find this Heroic Spirit later to help Wang Chong resolve his current physical condition.
"Hehe, now Jeanne D'Arc is tied to me. This move, oh, this move is called a werewolf jumping as a witch, and being given a 'golden water' by a prophet who doesn't know how to play. With this highest identity in the entire field apart from the prophet, this Holy Grail War will be even more interesting." Wang Chong looked at Jeanne D'Arc, who had been tricked into limping, smiled slightly, and began to anticipate.
