Even if Joan of Arc claimed to be just an ordinary country girl, have you ever seen a country girl go to the battlefield and win again and again? In the end, she became a national hero. You tell me, is this something a country girl could do?

Although in terms of illiteracy, it does fit the characteristics of a village girl...

"Saint!? No, how can I possibly be worthy of the title of saint? I'm just an ordinary nun."

When the nun heard this, her face turned pale and she quickly refuted it, as if being called a saint meant she was guilty of a heinous crime. This really made Koizumi speechless. You are making a big deal out of nothing, girl.

Besides, what's that? Joan of Arc claimed to be just an ordinary village girl! The Hundred Years' War between England and France was still raging! Martha was just an ordinary village girl, she just accidentally defeated the dragon Tarasque with her fists. These days, anyone who calls themselves ordinary, unremarkable, or just doing it for fun is not an ordinary person.

Koizumi said, I am still an ordinary human Master. I have only repaired a few singularities, slain dragons, killed servants, and competed with demigod heroes. It's really nothing special. I am just a little bit powerful.

It's just this tiny bit, the size of the universe on your fingertips...

But then again, this girl is completely clueless about her status as a saint?

Although Koizumi had roughly guessed that this was a possibility, after all, if he truly knew, he wouldn't be like this.

Those who are favored by the so-called Lord will have some skill called revelation, but this girl obviously doesn't have it.

What I mean is that there must be something wrong with this nun, which is why she became like this.

Koizumi had experienced this kind of thing many times, so practice makes perfect. He immediately figured out the other party's problem. Besides, Koizumi didn't expect to get any useful information from this nun from the beginning.

There was no other way. After all, Koizumi knew that one should not rush into anything. This place was clearly not that simple.

"Isn't he a saint? Maybe... Miss Sister, do you know where this place is?"

Koizumi didn't dwell on this for too long, but instead glanced around, his eyes full of inquiry.

First of all, I have to ask where the surrounding area is. This is in the wilderness and it is obviously not a place where people live.

Furthermore, Koizumi felt as if his own sensory abilities had been weakened. This was something Koizumi realized when he encountered those demons. Normally, once within a certain range, he should be able to sense the demons' power.

But the problem was that Gu Quan only noticed those strange auras when they were emitted.

What does this mean? It means that these demons have never entered Guquan's sensing range at all, or in other words, they have completely avoided Guquan's perception. This immediately made Guquan feel a sense of crisis. If they can avoid his perception, it means that he will have to rely on his intuition in the next battle, otherwise he will not even know that he is being targeted.

Therefore, Koizumi didn't care about the nun's name, but instead asked where this place was.

As for whether the nun in front of him was setting him up in the past, Koizumi was not overly worried.

As mentioned before, while Koizumi's sensory abilities are formidable, his body's reflexes are even more powerful. Even when faced with a sneak attack, Koizumi's body will subconsciously tense up and quickly counterattack.

This is the super-fast response ability to crises trained by Esdeath.

Otherwise, how could Koizumi have reacted so quickly when the mysterious Assassin attacked Irisviel?

Although Koizumi was a little unhappy about being tricked in the back, it was because he only had time to take the blame at that time.

"Emmmmmm... I'm not too sure. When I regained consciousness, I had already appeared in a strange city! But I felt that the city was a little weird, so I left there quickly. Who knew that I would encounter a devil as soon as I came out! There really is something wrong here..." The nun put on a praying posture, with a pitiful look on her face.

However, having seen many women, Koizumi didn't show any disrespectful behavior at this time.

Although the nun in front of him did look pitiful, Koizumi had no intention of getting too close to her.

It's simple. In this strange place, Koizumi wouldn't trust anyone except Patchouli, who he knows well.

It's not that Gu Quan is too vigilant, but in such a strange place, if the car fails, it will be terrible!

If Koizumi didn't have such a high level of vigilance, he would have died in a singularity long ago.

You need to have strength, but you also must be vigilant. You cannot lack vigilance just because you are strong.

You see, Jin Shanshan does have the ability, but in the end, he was still killed by waste.

So, be cautious if you can, be vigilant if you can, and you will never go wrong at this time.

Last hit when it’s time to last hit, otherwise you’ll be the one being last hit by someone else!

"A strange city? Can you take me to see it?"

Koizumi frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes as he looked at the nun carefully.

After confirming that the nun was indeed fine, Koizumi made this suggestion.

There was no way around it. Koizumi was always worried that the so-called strange city might be a trap or something.

But looking at the appearance of the nun in front of him, she didn't seem like a strange person, it was just that the way she appeared was too strange.

You were already in that city when you regained consciousness. Are you sure you're not a Servant? But this aura...

"By the way, I forgot to ask you for a moment. What is your name, Sister?"

As if quite casually, Koizumi slowly asked as he walked.

Hearing this, the nun revealed a holy smile and slowly spoke to the ancient spring in front of her, as if praying.

"My name is Walpurgis, and I'm a missionary!"

Immediately, Koizumi's steps faltered, his gaze quickly turning to the girl in front of him.

Chapter 976: The Saint Named Saint Walpurgis

Walpurgis, to be honest, this name is probably the kind that not many people have heard of.

But if you add a few words to this name, I guess many people will know what it is.

Walpurgis Night is an ancient festival of the indigenous Druids in Britain. On April 30 and May 1 every year, the believers light bonfires and dance to celebrate the passing of winter and the arrival of spring.

Yes, it actually sounds like a very beautiful festival, and there is absolutely no problem with it, but——

In the eyes of Christians, Druidism is a heresy, a pagan religion that goes against their Lord, so in the eyes of Christians, the god of Druidism is the devil. In addition, Christianity had a large number of believers at that time, while the number of Druids was decreasing. They often held secret ceremonies at night, offered sacrifices on the holy mountain and burned May bonfires, thus giving rise to the superstitious legend that the devil gathered on Broken Hill.

Therefore, Walpurgis Night has also become a synonym for the Devil's Carnival.

Therefore, Walpurgis Night is also called Witch Night.

After thinking about this, Koizumi roughly remembered the true origin of the nun in front of him.

Walpurgis Night was indeed originally an ancient festival of the Druids, but it was later modified.

That is the feast day of a saint named Saint Walpurgis.

Saint Walpurgis was the sister of the British missionary Saint Willibald. She followed her brother from England to Germany to preach. She was a Benedictine nun and later became the abbess of Heidenheim Abbey. After her death, she was revered as one of the most respected saints in Germany, the Netherlands, Britain and other countries.

There is no doubt that this nun is indeed a saint, so the sacred aura around her can be explained.

But why did she appear here, and the demon before... Koizumi's face darkened slightly.

The Gungnir in his hand shone with a cold light, sending chills down his spine, especially Walpurgis. She could sense Koizumi's reaction to her name, but she had no idea why.

Perhaps it was because she hated missionaries? Walpurgis couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

It's not like she hasn't encountered this situation before. After all, the civilization spread by missionaries is inevitably rejected by the local people.

It's possible that Koizumi is one of those people who is extremely dissatisfied with the existence of missionaries.

However, Walpurgis didn't harbor any resentment towards Koizumi because she still knew what gratitude meant.

In her opinion, Koizumi disliked the missionaries, not herself. Even if it was herself, she couldn't be ungrateful... Perhaps some of these self-proclaimed believers in God were quite fanatical, but one had to admit that as long as you didn't speak ill of their gods, there wouldn't be much of a problem getting along with them. Isn't Joan of Arc, also a Catholic saint, very easy to talk to?

"Why don't we give it a try? If this guy really has a problem, one shot can solve it!"

Koizumi actually thought this. Since Saint Walpurgis had no memories of being a Servant and didn't even know he was a Heroic Spirit, this meant there was something seriously wrong with him. But the bigger problem was—

The problem this guy showed was too direct, so direct that even Koizumi thought it was too obvious.

There's no way around it. Once the Heroic Spirit's true name is revealed, basically everything will be revealed, including your good and bad deeds in life, what you were involved in life, and whether there are any essential changes that may have occurred to you after you became a Heroic Spirit. All of this can be seen.

For example, in this situation, although Saint Walpurgis is a saint, there is one thing she cannot avoid—

That is the connection between Walpurgis and Walpurgis Night. Walpurgis Night itself is the feast day of Walpurgis, and the corruption of Walpurgis Night is likely to have affected Walpurgis as a heroic spirit.

Just like Vlad III because of the book "Dracula", since Dracula was based on Vlad III, as a result, after Vlad III descended as a heroic spirit, he was given the name Dracula and became a vampire.

Koizumi's eyes narrowed slightly. If he were given a chance now, he could stab the other person to death.

But - if he kills the wrong person, it will be extremely embarrassing, so Koizumi still has to take this into consideration.

After all, the Walpurgis before him truly was a saint...

Forget it! Killing him isn't worth it. If I kill the wrong person, I'll lose a guide. As for whether it's a trap, Koizumi said, "Just come on. I've never been scared of anyone!" So what if it's a trap? At worst, we can destroy it together!

Koizumi's strength is still there, with combat power comparable to that of top-level servants. Although it is still unknown who will win or lose if he really fights with a top-level servant, after all, the word "comparable" is what Koizumi thinks of himself. Among the top-level servants, there are still a few relatively special ones. Although they are ranked as top-level servants, compared with the general top-level servants, they are still relatively exceptional types.

So when the fight really comes, Koizumi is still a little worried, after all, he has never fought against the top level in the true sense.

Even with Esdeath, Koizumi had never fought a life-and-death battle with her. The only time he fought her to the death was when that person was training him. The key point was that Koizumi's strength was too low at that time, and he couldn't comment on Esdeath's fighting ability at all.

After thinking about it carefully, Koizumi found sadly that he seemed to have never fought a top-level Servant head-on in the true sense!

Huh? You mean Gilgamesh? That guy died on his own, nothing to do with Koizumi!

Huh? You mean Bartras? He was driving a Grand Rank, and he was just teasing Koizumi at that moment!

Huh? You mean Accelerator and Misaka Mikoto Alter? The former isn't even top-tier, after all, her Spiritual Base stats are dragged down by Last Order, and Koizumi never fought the latter, even when she still had her old ailment!

Thinking about it carefully, Koizumi really feels like a flower in a greenhouse!

So well protected!

"Ah..." Thinking of this, Koizumi sighed deeply, not knowing what to say.

Walpurgis was a little confused. He looked nervous just now, so why was he sighing now?

"By the way, let me ask you something. Have you seen a girl wearing a purple nightgown, with long straight purple hair, and always holding a book in her hand? Um, she's about half a head to a head shorter than me..."

Koizumi didn't plan to attack the other party. It was really meaningless. He would feel embarrassed if he killed the wrong person.

Walpurgis was slightly startled by Koizumi's question, but he quickly reacted.

After thinking for a moment, Walpurgis nodded quickly and spoke with a look of certainty.

"Yes! I did see it in that city..."

Koizumi's face lit up with surprise at Walpurgis's answer, but—

"But she's accompanied by a girl dressed in black who looks very cold. That girl always gives people a very strange feeling..."

A very strange and cold girl, could it be that Pachi's summoning was successful?

Chapter 977: Fairy Tale Witch - Kuonji Yuzu

This is a place similar to a hotel, which is very inconsistent with the architecture of this ancient city.

However, after considering the abnormality of this singularity, these so-called sense of incongruity can basically be eliminated.

The singularity itself is a distortion of the times, or perhaps even a distortion of the world itself. In this case, the sense of incongruity in the architecture is insignificant. Moreover, more importantly—

Although the whole city looks quite prosperous and the streets are bustling with people, there is one very strange thing.

Patchouli sat by the window, drinking black tea and quietly reading the book in her hands, while her eyes occasionally glanced outside.

When she first appeared in this city, she noticed something unusual about it.

It was as if all the magic power began to become chaotic, and the surrounding atmosphere became extremely polluted.

But normal people cannot notice anything unusual here, and it seems as if they have completely integrated into the life here.

Because of this, Patchouli felt that this place could no longer be described as a normal distortion.

It’s like creating a phenomenon out of thin air. Yes, it’s a rewriting of a phenomenon, an erosion of reality!

"An inherent barrier... But if it's an inherent barrier, why hasn't the world corrected it?"

A single inherent barrier cannot completely rewrite reality or create phenomena. Although the inherent barrier is a great magic close to magic, in fact, the consumption of magic power by this inherent barrier is extremely terrifying.

The inherent barrier is equivalent to creating a mental world in the real world, letting it descend into the real world and thus replacing the real world. This is the original setting of the inherent barrier. However, precisely because such a world will erode reality itself or even destroy the real world, the restraining force will self-correct the inherent barrier.

Therefore, the inherent barrier cannot be cast all the time, let alone like it is now...

The scene before his eyes had undoubtedly completely replaced reality, and even distorted the actual phenomena.

People came and went, talking and laughing, and seemed to be very friendly, but Patchouli could see through the evil thoughts in everyone's eyes: greed, arrogance, anger, lust... all kinds of desires were revealed from their hearts without reservation, but seemed to be suppressed by something.

It seemed like a good thing, but Patchouli was very clear about one thing, which was -

"Everything has its limits... The resilience it displays after being suppressed to the extreme is terrifying..."

"and……"

The girl sighed and subconsciously covered her chest, the nameless fire burning fiercely in her body.

"It can even affect Servants, releasing their desires without reservation. What an exaggerated inherent barrier!"

Patchouli smiled bitterly, and the magic book in her hand began to emit a dazzling light, wrapping the girl in it.

Gradually, feeling the nameless fire in her body waning, Patchouli felt relieved.
