The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

Siegfried circled the town of Marseille and explained:

"Although I've always stayed near Lyon, Marseille is the closest town to Lyon, so I can always get news from the refugees there."

"So, what I can confirm is that no strange individuals related to the Followers have appeared in Marseille. Therefore, we can conclude that they can be crossed out."

After hearing Siegfried's explanation, everyone nodded in agreement. As a result, the only places they hadn't visited were the cities in the lower left corner of France.

"But even if that's all we have, it will basically take a day to complete the exploration." Joan of Arc roughly estimated the time and said.

"So...how do we part ways?" Wang Chong said slowly.

"Divide the troops? At this time?" Not only the people present, but even Dr. Roman felt uncertain and wanted to refuse after hearing this idea.

"Of course, there's no need to split too many people. Even if we only split into two groups, we can at least cut the exploration time in half, right?"

After Wang Chong finished speaking, he used a branch to group the places they had visited in the past, and then spoke.

"If that's the case, perhaps we only need half a day to explore the rest of the place." After trying it out according to Wang Chong's suggestion, Joan of Arc finally nodded.

Ritsuka also reacted and said:

"In that case, we will split into two groups and search these places as quickly as possible. This way, we may be able to complete this operation in a shorter time without affecting the search for servants. Afterwards, we will head to Orleans to fight the Dragon Witch!"

"The question is... we have to split into two groups today. How should we allocate the personnel?" Joan of Arc asked again at this seagull.

"Good question, and actually it's very simple. Albion and I are considered a separate group, while you are considered a separate group. This way we can ensure a balanced combat power."

Wang Chong said slowly.

"This...if there's only Albion, wouldn't that be too few people?" Joan of Arc couldn't help but ask.

"That's enough. If I'm alone with Albion, even if I can't defeat him, it's still very easy to escape. If there are more, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome."

Wang Chong said slowly, "The same is true for you. If you have too few people, and if the enemy servants notice you and try to surround you again, wouldn't it be impossible to break out?"

After hearing Wang Chong's words, everyone agreed to this grouping and had no major objections.

"Then, Mary, I'll leave you in charge from now on. If you encounter any danger, I can contact Mary's master and servant here to learn about your situation and rush to support you as soon as possible."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Wang Chong also said with a smile.

Afterwards, Wang Chong divided the remaining cities to be explored into two groups. One group was under the charge of Mashu and the others, while the other group was naturally left to Wang Chong himself.

In reality, Wang Chong had already confirmed the locations of the remaining three servants through the black fog.

However, because Wang Chong retained a trace of selfishness, he did not share the intelligence he possessed, but instead subtly influenced the decisions of the Chaldean people.

Therefore, both he and Mashu's group would eventually find their corresponding servants. Then they would be able to reunite and head to Orleans for the final battle.

……

In the following time, everyone had a conversation, so the night passed very quickly. When the sky was bright, everyone started to set off again.

Following the plan agreed upon yesterday, Wang Chong quickly separated from the Chaldea group, leading Albion and the others. He and Albion headed towards Tiel, while Mashu and the others headed towards Bordeaux.

Although the general direction was similar, both heading west, they were actually two completely different roads, like forking roads.

Wang Chong's perception of the black mist suggested that the Servant Mashu and the others would encounter was the Saint—Georgos. He wasn't particularly interested in this Servant, so he simply left it to Ritsuka and the others.

And now he has set his sights on two servants who came to Tierre and have started fighting because of their personality differences - Elizabeth Bathory and Kiyohime.

Soon, when he entered the town of Thiel, he heard two very harsh and sharp quarrels:

"You! Damn! Damn! Damn! You! Arrogant! Eastern! Country-Bitch Squirrel!"

"Oh, hahaha. Who is the more arrogant? How could a mere half-wit possibly defeat—a true dragon like me? Right, Miss Elizabeth."

Not far ahead, two figures, one red and one blue, were seen fighting each other. One was loudly scolding the other in a sarcastic tone, both showing an attitude of not submitting to the other.

"Ugh! I'm so angry! Before I get rid of Camilla, I'm going to sacrifice your blood first! You persistent stalker!" The red figure, Elizabeth Bathory, shouted angrily.

"I'm not a stalker, but rather a dedicated rear-guard who might even be mistaken for a spy. I, Kiyohime, am a woman who lives for love."

The blue-haired girl, also known as Qingji, said this very narcissistically.

"Your love is a violation of human rights!" Elizabeth said angrily.

"A pervert who's addicted to bloody torture has no right to criticize me. Someone like you must be doing that kind of thing while doing this, right...?" Qingji said pretentiously.

"What's that?! What's this? No...don't say such nonsense!"

However, the young Elizabeth now understood nothing about matters between men and women, and spoke with great confusion and anger.

"...Huh? Elizabeth, you're not—"

As if sensing Elizabeth's innocence, Qingji couldn't help but blurt out some bad words, but was immediately interrupted by Elizabeth:

"Ahhhh! No way, no way, no way! Anyways—I'll kill you first!"

"Please allow me to fight back!" Qingji continued to retort without any hesitation.

"Ahhhhhhhhh-!"

The two men shouted at the same time, and the movements of their hands were exaggerated to the extreme. Flames were waving everywhere, hitting the surrounding buildings.

At first glance, those who knew these two people knew clearly that they were masterless servants, while those who didn't would think that they were minions sent by the Dragon Witch to slaughter ordinary people.

Looking at this noisy scene, Wang Chong had no intention of indulging them, so he said, "That's enough, you two."

Chapter 40 Contract Qingji

After hearing Wang Chong's shout, the two women did not stop. Instead, they showed great impatience towards Wang Chong, who suddenly came to interrupt their duel.

"Ah! What foolish talk?"

"I'm busy now, please get out of here!"

The words came from the mouths of the two women, and then the two continued to fight each other.

"Hmph! You'll be free soon. Wait until the next Holy Grail War!" Elizabeth retorted.

"...Hmph, umbrella lizard." Qingji cursed without any hesitation.

"Japanese rat snake!" Elizabeth retorted.

"Mexican poisonous lizard!"

"A pit viper!"

……

The two of them took turns cursing each other, fighting non-stop, completely ignoring Wang Chong and Albion who were present. Wang Chong didn't say anything more, simply releasing his hands from Albion.

Half a quarter of an hour later...

"A sneak attack is nothing! If you have the guts, let me fight you head-on!"

Elizabeth was grabbed by the collar by Albion and lifted in the air. Although Elizabeth looked unconvinced, she could not do anything to Albion.

"It's really ugly. Losing is losing, and they can't even accept it. Western reptiles are really vulgar."

Qingji was much calmer, although she was also held by the collar and hung in the air by Albion.

"You black mamba!" Elizabeth snarled.

"You grass lizard!" Qingji continued to retort.

Albion flew in the air and threw the two men heavily in front of Wang Chong. Then he flew down and came to Wang Chong, showing off his achievements as if he wanted to get Wang Chong's reward.

"Now, can you two ladies calm down and listen to me carefully?"

Wang Chong rubbed Albion's little head and said slowly:

"Or if you still don't agree, feel free to come and test my strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire black mist extended from his back, instantly enveloping Elizabeth and Qingji.

Then, the black fog suddenly rose into the air and began to move towards the Chaldean people at a not very fast speed.

Meanwhile, in the black mist, Elizabeth and Qingji no longer had the relaxed look they had before. They could naturally sense the powerful aura emanating from Wang Chong.

"It seems you've calmed down completely now. So, before I ask for your real names, let me introduce myself. I'm Wang Chong, just an ordinary magician passing by."

Wang Chong said slowly.

"Who would believe that?" Both women muttered in their hearts. After all, the strength displayed by the other party had nothing to do with the so-called "ordinary".

However, the two women also introduced themselves properly. Wang Chong nodded slightly. Although he already knew their real names, this was still a necessary part of the communication.

"I believe you two should have a general understanding of the current situation in this world. A figure called the 'Dragon Witch' is leading a group of Servants and monsters to slaughter this country."

Wang Chong slowly spoke:

"The history that took place here has deviated greatly from the history we know. The reason you were summoned to this world without a Master is to deal with this deviation and distortion."

"And my companions and I have already encountered several Servants like you. Therefore, I sincerely invite you two to join our team and fight with us against the 'Dragon Witch' and her subordinates to save this world."

"..."

After hearing Wang Chong's words, Elizabeth and Qingji didn't speak immediately, but instead pondered for a moment. After a while, Elizabeth was the first to speak:

"I'm really wondering why I was summoned without a Master. The whole world is in chaos, and I even met that Camilla... I didn't expect there was such a reason behind this."

"However, how can I be sure that you are not one of the Dragon Witch's gang, deliberately trying to win us over? Or are you just trying to lure us into some encirclement so that you can strangle us?"

"It's very simple. If they were servants from the Dragon Witch's side, they would kill you at all costs and would never try to win you over."

Wang Chong slowly explained:

"And the reason is very simple. Since you are Servants summoned to correct history, you naturally counter the Servants under the Dragon Witch."

"Take you, Elizabeth, and Camilla, for example. You should be well aware that there's no way you can work together, right? If that's impossible, then there's naturally no need to win you over."

"As for deception... do you think it's necessary for her and I to go around in circles like this with you?"

After Wang Chong finished speaking, he looked at Elizabeth again. Elizabeth was silent for a while, then finally nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll join. It's not because I want to save someone, it's just that I'm simply annoyed with that Camilla. You don't have to tell me, I'll deal with her too."

"Very good, and what are your thoughts, Kiyohime?"

Wang Chong nodded, then turned his attention to Qing Ji and asked.

"Um, I'd like to ask, you're a magus, right? In other words, you can become a Master, right?"

In response to Wang Chong's question, Qing Ji did not answer immediately, but instead asked other questions.

"...That's right, I have quite a few Servants too. In a sense, I am indeed a Master."

Wang Chong narrowed his eyes slightly. At this moment, while he was answering Qing Ji's question, the skill [Eye of Sinking] was suddenly activated.

Qingji: Favorability: 80 points.

Seeing this almost free favorability, Wang Chong suddenly understood something. It seemed like he had completely replaced Ritsuka's storyline.

Qingji, I'm afraid she thinks of herself as the reincarnation of Anzhen.

The reason was simple; it was probably Wang Chong's inherent [Heroic A]. After all, according to legend, Qing Ji fell in love with the unfortunate monk An Zhen simply because he was good-looking.

Well, there are some superficial and ridiculous reasons. Qingji can be considered a face control in a sense.

However, Qingji is not the kind of promiscuous person who falls in love with every good-looking person she sees. On the contrary, once Qingji sets her eyes on someone, she will never have the slightest intention of betraying him until she is completely disappointed and burns him to death.

In other words, even if the servant named Anzhen really appeared in front of Qingji again, Qingji would probably burn him to death without hesitation.

After all, Qingji's goal now is to completely lock onto herself.

"Well, if that's the case, since you're so powerful, you wouldn't mind having me as your Servant, right? Could you please sign a temporary contract with me?"

Qingji said with a smile.

"Of course. What do you need me to do?" Wang Chong said slowly.

"It's very simple. Hold out your little finger. Yeah, that's it. Hook and hook. If you cheat, you'll have to swallow a thousand needles..."

Like a very childish act, Qing Ji and Wang Chong made a connection. After it was completed, Wang Chong could feel a faint connection flowing out from the other party and binding to himself.

Perhaps this is why Qingji can always track players in the game, and even track them to Chaldea.

Qing Ji smiled faintly and said, "Okay, the contract is complete. The Master-Master contract cannot be violated. If you lie to me in the future, you will have to swallow a thousand needles."

Wang Chong stared at Qing Ji's eyes. When she mentioned the word "lie," resentment and madness flashed across them. Don't lie to Qing Ji. This had almost become a rule that he had to remember when interacting with her.

She can tolerate everything for the one she loves, whether they become a hero who saves the world or a villain who destroys everything. But she cannot tolerate lies and betrayal.

This is not only because she was hurt by betrayal and lies in the legend, but also because she was summoned as a berserker based on the legend, and this characteristic was specialized because of it.

"Do you understand? Please give me your guidance in the future." Qingji closed her eyes and said with a smile, as if the madness and resentment just now were just an illusion.
