Lion Tribulation Jie Li checked the time; it was nine o'clock.

Pushing open the heavy door, I entered the church and saw a beautiful girl with long black hair standing in front of the altar.
She was wearing a nun's habit from the church and looked quite young, only a teenager.
"welcome."
A faint smile appeared on her face:
"Nice to meet you, I am the Crimson Caster Semiramis. My Master is currently unable to meet you, so I will do so on his behalf."
"I am Shiki Jie Li, so I'll skip the self-introduction."
"Ah, who is your Servant?"
"Saber."
"Ah, I knew it. So, what's your real name?"
"Is it necessary to ask such detailed questions?"
Shiki Jie Li's eyes narrowed slightly behind his sunglasses.
Semiramis still wore a gentle smile:
“I think this will help our cooperation. Since we are allies who entrust our lives to each other, wouldn’t it be better to reveal our real names beforehand? Besides, as a sign of sincerity, haven’t I already given my real name? Also, don’t you plan to materialize Saber?”
Caster's tone was threatening, and a sweet fragrance filled the air.
"I'm sorry,"
Shiki-kai Kairi remained unyielding, saying, "My Servants seem rather shy and don't really want to meet you. As for their true names, I don't think that's necessary."
Lion Jie Li's body tensed up. Although the other party always had a smile on his face, his vigilance did not increase but decrease.
conspiracy!
Without any reason, Shi Zi Jie Li simply suspected that there must be a conspiracy involved!
This wasn't just based on his intuition; his followers had told him the same thing!
"Can you give me a reason for not disclosing it? This is not conducive to our cooperation..."
Even Semiramis, who always had a smile on her face, frowned slightly.
“Then there’s no need to cooperate. My servant is Saber, so it’s fine for me to act alone.”
Lion Jie Li remained defiant, showing no sign of backing down.
But for some reason, he suddenly frowned and changed his mind:
"But if you want my real name, I can tell you. It's Lancelot. But my attitude won't change. Asaber and I will act separately."
After saying this, Shiki turned and left. Semiramis's smile gradually faded, but he did nothing to him and watched him leave.
"Saber, are there pursuers?"
Walking down the steps, Lion Tribulation Realm asked.
"No."
The girl's clear voice reached my ears, "But Caster has always wanted to kill you."
"Tsk."
Shishikage Kairi raised an eyebrow, both puzzled by Caster's murderous intent, as he believed he hadn't offended her in any way. At the same time, he was also amazed by his Servant's extraordinary ability—the Fairy Eyes were definitely a bug-level ability!
But the more he learned about his servant, the more suspicious he became of the legendary Lancelot—
These two are not the same person at all!
Especially when Lancelot asked him to reveal his real name, Shishi Jie Li felt even more confused.
Who would willingly reveal their hand?
-
"What a pity, Saber is not in my hands."
Semiramis muttered to himself.
"So what?"
Lancer, with his long red hair, calmly asked, "Anyway, you already have four Servants, right? Not having Saber won't make much of a difference, will it?"
"That's true."
Semiramis smiled sweetly. "So, Lancer, could you please take care of Ruler?"
Chapter 268 Just because it's always been this way, does that mean it's right?
The Transylvania Highway is the only national highway leading to Tulifas.
More than half of the streetlights standing side by side were already broken, and drivers could only rely on their headlights and the dim moonlight to slightly illuminate the road ahead.
Ruler sat in the back of the pickup truck, the bumpy ride causing the wooden crates around her to rattle and sway incessantly. Despite the poor comfort, Ruler didn't complain at all.
She simply felt a pang of nostalgia, longing for the white horse that had once galloped alongside her on the battlefield.
It was an excellent horse, but it went missing during the Battle of Compiègne. Perhaps it was killed or ridden by someone else?
Modern times are truly advanced.
Although the comfort wasn't great, its speed and endurance were much better than a horse's. It ran continuously for so long without running out of energy, maintaining a steady pace on the road.
The girl took a textbook out of her bag. She had considered using it to pass the time several times along the way, but each time she was forced to give up because...
"Hmm~ I don't understand any of it!"
Ruler was somewhat troubled. Although she was historically venerated as a saint and worshipped and revered by many, the real her was just an ordinary rural girl who was illiterate and had never attended school. How could she possibly understand mathematics?
Although Leticia is a modern person, her grades don't seem to be very good.
Even though Ruler descended upon her and could understand the most basic characters, learning mathematics was still extremely difficult for her.
Honestly, if someone is clearly not good at math, why does they carry a math textbook with them all the time?
It might sound selfish to say this, but if the goal is simply to pass the time, she actually wants to read more interesting books, even novels.
"That's precisely why we need to learn it..."
Ruler heard the girl shyly muttering to herself in her mind.
Ruler smiled faintly, wanting to tease the original owner of this body. But suddenly, alarm bells rang in the girl's mind, and she looked up into the distance.
As the arbiter of the Holy Grail War, she excels above all other classes in enemy detection. While the detection radius of a normal enemy is only two hundred meters, her search limit is a full ten kilometers.
In front of Ruler, even Assassin's aura concealment is useless!
Therefore, she could clearly sense that there was danger ahead, and an extremely dangerous Lancer was waiting for her!
Ruler knocked on the metal plate separating the carriage from the car, stretched his forearm towards the open window, and spoke in a very serious tone:
"It's dangerous here, please pull over to the side of the road!"
"Hey! That's dangerous!"
The elderly driver was startled by her dangerous actions and wanted to stop the car, but was afraid that slamming on the brakes would throw her off. However, when he met the girl's eyes, which shone with a purple light, the old man, who had been frowning, was forced to "understand" and pulled the car over to the side of the road.
"Excuse me, please leave as soon as possible."
The girl said goodbye, picked up her bag, and ran off as fast as she could.
Perhaps a barrier had been set up to repel outsiders; after traveling several kilometers, not only were there no vehicles, but even the scent of animals had vanished. Ruler immediately transformed her high school girl's clothing into her original combat attire, covering her entire body in armor woven with magic.
"Ruler, is that you?"
A clear, crisp voice came from above, and Ruler looked up.
It was a woman with flowing purple hair and wearing a purple bodysuit.
Despite possessing a charming face and a graceful figure, she exuded a chilling and indifferent aura, and the crimson spear she held was unsettling. Her flawless skin was completely exposed, yet her tightly wrapped, alluring body inexplicably ignited a burning desire within one.
She stood on the signboard hanging on the highway, looking down at her with magnificent scarlet eyes, like a queen on a high throne.
"Red Lancer, Queen of the Land of Shadows, Warrior's Army, Heroic Spirit Scáthach, why are you here?"
Despite knowing that the visitor was hostile, Ruler did not choose to strike first, but instead kept a wary eye on the woman on the sign.
Surprisingly, Scáthach wasn't surprised or taken aback by having her real name revealed. Instead, she looked at the girl with long golden hair braided into a plait with great interest and asked softly:
"Your real name has been discovered? It seems you really are Ruler. So, what's your real name?"
"Joan of Arc".
Ruler made no attempt to hide anything; his azure eyes were clear and serene. "The arbiter of this Holy Grail War."
Joan of Arc?
Scáthach looked surprised, seemingly unable to understand why it was her who had come.
This reaction puzzled Joan of Arc, but before she could figure out what was going on, the Queen standing on the sign disappeared like a purple ghost and reappeared right in front of her, holding a crimson spear and thrusting it into Joan of Arc's chest.
"Sorry, whoever you are, Ruler, I will kill you!"
Although Scáthach's movements were so fast that they were almost invisible to the human eye, Jeanne d'Arc, being a fellow Heroic Spirit and already on guard, reacted in time, using her summoned banner to block the flying spear.
"Why kill me? I am merely a Ruler. Whatever your desires for the Holy Grail may be, I will not interfere. What good will it do you to kill me here?"
Amidst the fierce battle, Joan of Arc skillfully dealt with Scáthach's attacks while frowning and asking questions.
Even though she knew they were now enemies, she still hoped to get answers from them.
It's just a try anyway, and there's no loss even if the other party doesn't reply.
clang!
No, quite the opposite.
With a single blow, Joan of Arc was forced back, and the two returned to a facing position. Scáthach spoke coldly:
"Although killing you is the Master's order, even in my opinion, as a Ruler, you will definitely get in our way!"
"why?"
Joan of Arc longed to ask this question, but she no longer had the chance.
