Chapter 407 When Artoria Met Joan of Arc
When Artoria saw Joan, Joan also saw Artoria.
I have to say that Joan was lucky.
If she had come ten minutes earlier, she would have seen Astolfo returning after sending Chigurh back.
If she was a few minutes late, Arturia was gone.With the isolation of "Hades cloak", even the ruler is difficult to capture.
The moment she saw Joan of Arc's face clearly, Artoria was stunned.
this hair-
This face-
These ears—
The eyebrows—
The nose—
And this mouth——
How is it so familiar?
It feels like I'm looking in a mirror—wait, isn't that my face?
who is she?How come you look exactly like me?
No wonder Artoria was so shocked.Even an ordinary person would be shocked to see a person who looks like himself on the street, let alone a person like Artoria who has a special experience.
She clearly remembered that her sister Morgan used magic to give birth to her forbidden son, Mordred, who looked exactly like herself.Although she was sure that the girl in front of her was not Mordred, her first reaction when she saw this face was—this could not be the fault of her sister again.
You must know that Morgan is not only the "Spirit of the Lake" but also a great magician named after Merlin. As long as such a person does not die, it will be strange to make any moths.As luck would have it, Morgan was alive and well when King Arthur "died".
Of course, if Arturia could break through the dimension wall and meet a guy named Takashi Takeuchi, she wouldn't be so surprised.What's a lookalike?Characters with the same face can form a clan and even fight a Holy Grail War.
It's a pity that Artoria didn't know Takeuchi Takashi, so she fell into confusion and just stood there blankly, watching Jeanne approach without focusing.
"You are the Black Lancer, right?"
"..."
"Black lancer?"
"..."
One thing to say here is that at this time Artoria has switched to the armor state, only she can see Joan's face, Joan can't see her face.
"Black lancer?"
Joan of Arc spoke for the third time, and Artoria said "Ah" as if waking up from a dream, and said, "Servant ruler?"
"Yes." Joan of Arc nodded, and asked a little worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Artoria replied subconsciously, then realized something was wrong, and asked back, "You asked me what's wrong?"
"That's right, what happened?" Joan was a little puzzled, what's going on?
"You'll know right away." Arturia took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then she took off her full-face helmet.
This time it was Joan who was stunned.
But her reaction was much smaller than that of Artoria.This is mainly because the current Arturia is the Royal Sister version, much more mature than Joan of Arc, and there are still some differences in appearance between the two.Secondly, Joan of Arc does not have Artoria's special experience, and her resemblance is just pure surprise to her, and there is nothing to be confused about.
"Scared me, I didn't expect you to look so much alike. If I live a few more years, I should be more similar."
"You are--?"
"Servant ruler, Jeanne Darc, please give me your advice, King of Knights of Britain."
"Joan of Arc!"
This name awakened Artoria's dusty memories for many years. At that time, she had not let go of her obsession. At that time, a lunatic magician called her Joan of Arc. At that time, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows also said that she was very similar to Joan of Arc.
"So it's you. It wouldn't be surprising if it was you. Indeed, except for the eyes, the face is almost the same."
Arturia didn't find it strange, but Joan was surprised by the former's attitude.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because someone mistook me for you, in another Holy Grail War."
Maybe it was the preconceived favor, or maybe it was the similar nobility, but Artoria didn't hide it.
"who is it?"
"Gill de Rais, should be your comrade in arms."
"Jill!"
Joan's pupils shrank, that was her staunchest supporter and ally.This friendship will last till death.
Numerous memories came to my mind, including the vows made together under the iris flag, the bloody battles at the front line, and the laughter together after saving Orleans.
Thousands of words, in the end just turned into a sigh.
"Is he... okay?"
Artoria hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head: "It's not good. He is crazy, and he stubbornly regards me as you. Although you and I are very similar, there are also many differences. If you are familiar with someone, Impossible to admit it. And—”
"And what?"
"Moreover, he committed many crimes after being summoned to the present world, and finally wanted to summon monsters to destroy the entire city."
"Jill, Jill he—"
The blood on Joan's face faded instantly, although she already knew Gilles de Rais's experience through the knowledge given by the Holy Grail, and also knew the sins he committed.
She was saddened by this, but also accepted the fact.However, when she heard that he was summoned to the present world and remained unchanged, her heart was shaken—Jill, are you still obsessed with my death?
Artoria stared at the girl in front of him without saying a word.She can understand this feeling, if Lancelot and Gawain become like this, she will also behave in the same way.
All she could do was wait until Joan came out by herself.
She believed that this girl who was very similar to her would come out.Because the similarity between the two is not only in appearance, but also in spirit.
After an unknown amount of time, Joan raised her head, lowered her head, and asked hoarsely, "How did Jill end up?"
"Dead, died under my holy sword." Artoria's expression was calm, and she didn't mind the fact that she killed Joan's comrade-in-arms with her own hands.
"That's right." Joan's voice was very soft, very soft, and when she looked up again, her eyes became clear again, "Thank you, King of Knights, thank you for stopping him for me."
"No need to thank you, if it were you, you would do the same."
"Yes."
This trust made Joan's mood a lot better, and there was a smile on her face.It wasn't until this time that she realized the weirdness in what she said just now.
"No, how do you have other Holy Grail War memories?"
Heroic spirits are existences separated from the time axis, and they will be summoned in all eras, whether it is the past or the future.However, only the "world" itself can summon the body of the heroic spirit, and humans can only summon servants who are clones of the heroic spirit.
The information (soul) that constitutes the follower will return to the main body when the follower dies, and the main body can know the actions of the follower in a recorded way like reading a book.But this record will not be inherited by newly summoned servants.
In other words, the Servant will have no memory of the time it was last summoned.
But Arturia did, how could this not surprise Joan—could it be the effect of the Command Seal?
Without waiting for Joan to think about it, Artoria held her head high and said:
"Because I'm special."
PS: Well, he is taller than you and has bigger breasts.
PS2: Uh, don’t take Gundai’s animation of the treasure Phantasm seriously, at least the traitor hasn’t found any other evidence that Dong Stallion can fly——As for the treasure Phantasm, it’s okay to insist on explaining it, the wind king’s barrier was blown up.
