Astolfo, who was originally holding a bucket and hopping and singing, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, right, Lancer, there's something I need to give you. I forgot about it in a hurry before."
While saying this, Astolfo took out a small box from behind his cloak and handed it to Lancer.
"This... what is it?"
"Hehe~ It's nothing much, I just happened to find it where Assassin disappeared, so I just brought it back~ Ehe~"
While saying this, he also lightly tapped his own head in a cute manner.
Lancer just twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't say anything more, but he was indeed a little curious. According to reason, after a Servant leaves the stage, they would not leave anything behind except for some special items.
"Isn't this something that Lancer left after he was 'purified'?"
Jeanne, who slightly poked her head out from beside Lancer, was also stunned when she saw the small box in Lancer hand.
"Purified?"
With Lancer question, Jeanne also briefly explained the 'end' of Lancer that she had witnessed before.
"The Grand Duke became a vampire? That doesn't make sense, isn't the thing he hates the most... Wait?! Could it be..."
In an instant, all the clues were connected.
Darnic's soul died from the 'Geis' left on him by the Scathach, but who killed the other party's body? Before, Lancer had always suspected it was the red side's Assassin, but after seeing that Assassin, he knew that it was unlikely. If it was her who made a move, then Darnic should have been bruised and not in pieces.
Now that he knew that the Grand Duke had actually become a vampire, all the answers were self-evident.
Darnic must have used a Command Spell to order the Grand Duke to use his Noble Phantasm 'Blood of the Inheritance' to become a vampire, but Darnic should have one more Command Spell. Could it be that that Command Spell was not used to protect himself? Or was it used to issue other commands since he was preparing to transfer his soul into his own body?
Because of the lack of clues, Lancer couldn't deduce the specific situation, but at least he had a general idea of the situation. But then a wry smile appeared on his face.
His senior brother, Diarmuid, and now even the Grand Duke were screwed over by their Masters...
'What a disaster-prone class...'
After sighing, he turned his attention back to the box in front of him.
"So what should we do with it? Why don't we build a cenotaph for Lancer?"
Although he had been captured by the other party before, and Lancer had secretly sworn to get back at him, the other party had already left the stage, and it was impossible for him to do something despicable to vent his anger. After all, he also had his own pride, so it was not an incomprehensible thing to build a cenotaph for a strong enemy who had once captured him.
"There's no need for that. Actually, Lancer has already returned to the Throne of Heroes. These 'remains' are just the 'remains of a vampire', and they don't have much of a direct connection to that 'Shield of God'. It's better to say that it's just a materialization of a maliciously distorted history."
Even just by existing, these remains emitted evil magical energy. According to Jeanne's idea, they should be purified again and made to completely disappear, but after looking at Lancer, she suddenly remembered something.
"Lancer, didn't you have a cloak before?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Can you take it out and let me see it?"
'Is it because she thinks 'Alucard' is too evil?'
Although it felt a little strange, he still handed it to the other party.
This tattered cloak could be said to have been with Lancer for a long time. From the beginning, it saved his life several times at critical moments. Later, although it was destroyed by the Minister's Teigu, it still survived. It even used its ability to allow Lancer to gain the ability to manipulate ice, but from then on, it basically retired to the second line. Most of the time, it was tied to his right arm to cover his strange arm, and of course, it could also be turned into a weapon to fight in an emergency.
However, it actually played a very small role in Lancer current combat, but it was full of his memories.
And after gesturing with it in her hand, Jeanne also nodded to Lancer.
"It can be done. Although it's not a Noble Phantasm, it also has its own 'Spiritual Core'. It can be used to make a Holy Shroud."
"Holy Shroud?"
Lancer couldn't help but be stunned, because in his impression, a 'Holy Shroud' referred to the burial shroud of a saint, and it had a very high status in Catholicism. What the heck was 'making one'?
It seemed that she could see Lancer confusion, so Jeanne also explained.
"It's not a 'Holy Shroud' in the general sense. It's just an ability I gained when I was summoned as a 'Ruler'. With enough materials, I can create a special cloth called a Holy Shroud. It has resistance to evil spirits and curses, and it is also very tough itself. At the same time, it also has different effects depending on the material..."
"But why... are you helping me make it?"
"..."
In the face of Lancer question, Jeanne shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either, which made it even stranger.
"This is 'Revelation'."
'Revelation'?
Could it be the feedback from the Counter Force because he stopped Amakusa Shirou Tokisada?
Lancer didn't know what was going on, but at least it was good news.
After returning to the castle, Jeanne explained the situation to Fiore and asked for an empty room. Fiore naturally agreed happily. As for the others, they held a small farewell party under Tiger's command, after all, when the sun rose the next day, all the Servants would end this short journey and return to the Throne of Heroes.
During this period, everyone basically said their final goodbyes according to their own groups, but there were also some special people, such as Chiron.
He waved his hand to signal Lancer to come to him, and Lancer also walked over with a cup of juice.
"Is there something you need? Mr. Chiron?"
Because he knew that Chiron himself hated alcohol, Lancer simply didn't drink.
"There is something..."
At this point, Chiron's expression also became a little strange, and finally, he made up his mind.
"Lancer, I still want to confirm with you what happened to Achilles in the end?"
At this point, Lancer expression also became a little awkward. After all, he had already known that the other party was Chiron's disciple when he dueled with him, and he even used this fact to screw the other party over later, but he did not evade or play dumb, after all, there was no point in doing so.
"Achilles used his Noble Phantasm to bring us into a strange space, and in the end, I hit the heel of his foot and he left the stage..."
