Chapter 86
All three people present fell silent.
Joan's expression grew increasingly stiff, as an indescribable sense of irritation surged through her body.
I'm so frustrated I feel like I want to start a big fight.
The boy had absolutely nothing to do with her; he was simply used by King Arthur to annoy her.
Why did it turn out like this?
Joan was somewhat bewildered; her pupils dilated in a mixture of annoyance and confusion.
At this moment.
She seemed to hear a divine revelation, urging her to stop the other person.
This is--
Revelation from the Lord?
Joan wondered if she was hallucinating.
How could someone who has long been abandoned by the Lord possibly hear His revelation?
But it's alright.
She's the Dark Saintess now, she can do whatever she wants!
Wei Gong was equally helpless.
So, what should I do, caught in the middle?
Could Lily be trying to scam me like Golden Flash did?
If they actually have evidence, this is clearly a deliberate attempt to provoke Joan.
Who knows what the Dark Saintess might do!
Wei Gong feigned extreme fear and shock, trembling all over as he reached out to grab the other person's hand.
I silently shed tears; this is truly a doomed situation!
Hands clasped together.
However.
He was completely bewildered to realize that he had grabbed the other hand instead.
From the hands of the Emperor of France!
What the heck?
Wow, you're planning something big too?
Artoria stared at the other person indifferently. "What do you mean?"
"An ordinary young man cannot bear the knighthood ceremony you bestow upon him, not even a novice knight. You are trying to kill him."
Joan of Arc's mind raced, and she readily offered a reason.
Accurate!
It's extremely annoying to look at!
Coupled with a mysterious revelation, she didn't hesitate to interrupt the apprentice knighting ceremony.
"The Dark Saintess can be so kind?"
Artoria stared at her coldly.
Earlier, when the little girl Luo Ya accidentally took off her hat, she discovered that it was the [Hades's Helm of Invisibility] given to her by Gilgamesh.
Even among the Gate of Babylon, which is said to have collected countless treasures throughout Human History, this divine Noble Phantasm ranks at the very top.
It is second only to powerful Noble Phantasm such as King of Heroes and her Holy Sword of Stars Calamity Sword.
Even the King of Heroes wouldn't casually give away a divinely crafted Noble Phantasm of this caliber.
Furthermore, Merlin used the essence of the Avalon to power Avalon, which manifested in Luo Ya.
This means that the little guy is related to Wuming!
Artoria glanced at his information and easily saw that he was living with an ordinary high school student and had become his guardian.
That is, the young man in front of me.
An ordinary person with no special abilities or magical circuits.
Even she couldn't see anything special about it.
But the fact that she could depend on Luo Ya for survival proves that she couldn't possibly be so ordinary.
Then, she noticed that Gilgamesh's expression was noticeably strange when he spoke to her.
All these factors combined convinced Artoria that the boy was not Nameless, and was definitely related to Nameless!
Another possibility is that--
The fake body created by the King of Heroes to protect her Dear Friend —that guy also wants to steal the Nameless One from her!
However, Artoria will not forcefully expose him or reveal his identity.
This naive village girl was completely oblivious; how could she possibly provide clues to her opponent?
"Then forget it."
Artoria sheathed her holy sword, turned, and walked away.
His cloak billowed behind him, and everything seemed effortless and decisive.
"Uh, I got tricked by her again?"
Joan frowned slightly.
The other party left so decisively, as if it were a trap that had been dug long ago, just waiting for her to jump in!
Damn King Arthur, one day you'll pay me back, interest on top of everything!
Hmph, anyway, your Britain has already left the EU, so don't even think about coming back!
A weak voice came from the side. "Um, could you let go of me?"
The boy looked shocked and frightened, and seemed to be shrinking into a pitiful ball.
"Don't tell anyone."
Joan Arc smiled even more kindly and reached out to pat the boy's head once more.
It's as if they'd threaten to rip open your skull at the slightest disagreement!
"I understand! I understand!"
Wei Gong quickly straightened up, even more straight than during military training.
Then.
He watched as the two top-tier Heroic Spirit departed, finally able to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
"At this rate, I'll get a heart attack at such a young age! I just want to be a normal high school student!"
Wei Gong silently shed tears.
There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me!
Therefore, we can no longer passively take hits; we must take the initiative.
Do you really think he walks through Human History and protects Human Order with words rather than actions?
His countless battles with Heroic Spirit, gods, and Humanity's Evil have made him incredibly strong.
So, Merlin, where are you hiding, you bastard?
If we don't deal with this Child of Nightmare's behind the scenes, he'll be completely exposed sooner or later, causing endless trouble.
At that time, his so-called happy retirement Master will completely collapse!
With his current strength, it's clearly wishful thinking for him to challenge Caster Candidate in a one-on-one fight.
So, call for reinforcements!
During evening rest.
Wei Gong, who was out for a walk, happened to run into an old acquaintance.
On the streetlight ahead, a Gilgamesh figure stood, looking down at him with a joyful smile.
"No need to look up, I am currently invisible, no one can see me except you."
Gilgamesh.
Besides [Hades's Helm of Invisibility], he also possesses various other invisibility Noble Phantasm, enough to perfectly conceal all traces of himself.
As a kind-hearted citizen of Fuyuki City, Golden Flash a conversation with a boy wandering outside late at night, showing concern for his physical and mental safety, is perfectly reasonable, isn't it?
After all, he's a warm-hearted foreigner who's dedicated to helping people in Ping Fuyuki!
"Then, Elbow, come inside with me."
Wei Gong said something as if he were talking to himself.
He then stopped his walk and turned back to the hotel.
The hotel rooms were naturally provided by the school, which was a perk for student representatives.
"I live alone, and my room is quite spacious. You're welcome to come over and visit. If you get tired, you can find a place to rest."
Wei Gong gave a casual greeting.
Looking across the entire world, everyone else has to keep their secrets, but this bastard Dear Friend someone I can talk to freely.
After Alaya exposes the video of the Wise King, the other party will probably take better care of him.
It's still a little lacking.
"Tsk, my dear Dear Friend, how come you weren't divided up by those two Yandere ending?"
Gilgamesh suddenly sighed.
I came here expecting a good show, but I didn't see anything like the spectacle I imagined.
What a pity! What a pity!
I shouldn't have given Luo Ya that hat in the first place!
"Tch, you just want me dead, don't you?"
Wei Gong really wanted to have another heart-to-heart talk with the other person.
Unfortunately, his strength has plummeted, leaving him with little confidence.
He stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Golden Flash, for the sake of our Dear Friend, how can you help me deal with Merlin?"
The other person extended one finger.
"Ten... one million?"
Wei Gong tentatively inquired.
"No, no, one hundred million!"
Gilgamesh laughed heartily, making no attempt to hide his desire to kill.
"Holy crap! Did you just scatter gold, or was Merlin made of gold?" Wei Gong stared wide-eyed at the other man.
Asking for 100 million, does he really not value money at all?
Damn it, those ancient and utterly wicked nouveau riche!
"Look at you now, who's going to help you? You think it's too expensive, but I think it's too cheap!"
Gilgamesh looked at the other party with disdain, "That Child of Nightmare is at least Caster Candidate, does he really think he's some pig waiting for you to catch?"
Even if you don't want to admit it.
But ultimately, the other party was of the same caliber as him.
