Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

But that human named Fujimaru Ritsuka... there's no doubt about it, he must be humanity's last Master! He came to this world with the mission of "saving human history."

And on this point, Qingji and Elizabeth's feelings were even more obvious than hers.

"Ah, I felt it too, her aura."

"But I have no intention of signing a contract with her."

Kiyohime and Elizabeth said in unison.

Rarely had they been so in agreement as now.

Saving the world or something like that...that's the job of holy kings, heroes, and saints.

What does it have to do with these "monsters"?

"Then why don't we..."

Having said that, Black Jeanne's tone suddenly turned cold.

To be honest, when she saw the two girls, Black Jeanne had this idea in her mind: take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill them and put an end to it all.

However, even Jeanne d'Arc herself didn't know why - she suddenly rejected this idea.

She felt like she had become a different person after experiencing that failure... no, it should be said that after experiencing that burst of tears three hours ago.

The root of her body was still [anger], and that wouldn't change. But besides that fire of rage, she felt as if there was something else in her body that she couldn't quite explain... She felt as if she had become somewhat anxious and worried.

"So, what are your plans for the future?"

"There has to be a purpose, right?"

"Or have you given up on revenge?"

Elizabeth looked at Joan of Arc's listless appearance and asked her curiously about her next plans.

Black Jeanne nodded first, then shook her head.

She would never give up on revenge. She would never forget the shame of betrayal. Especially the king who had plotted her downfall, and the saint who stood on the city wall, blocking her vengeful rage. She wished she could burn their souls with flames... But what else? She had to do something else, right?

"I do not know."

"I only know that I cannot let this world be destroyed... and I cannot let myself be destroyed."

"I have other things to do."

As Black Jeanne spoke, she turned her gaze to the little white dragon next to her, who was having a friendly conversation with a fluffy white beast.

She still remembered her promise.

——It was agreed that she would grill meat for the little dragon every day in exchange for the little dragon never leaving.

Chapter 93: Black Jeanne's New Wish

That was a change that even Black Jeanne herself had not noticed.

But it has happened.

From [wanting to destroy the world] to [not wanting the world to be destroyed] - this is a very important leap.

To put it in more philosophical terms, this means that her tendency towards "mental self-destruction" is gradually disappearing.

Instead, there is a more positive emotion:

live.

This world may be beyond salvation, but there is still something in this world that she is attached to, and makes her want to continue living in this world.

For this reason, she was willing to once again raise the banner of rebellion against God—but this time, it was no longer to vent the anger in her heart.

"Everyone, please listen to me, I have an idea..."

Black Jeanne expressed her vision in a hesitant yet expectant tone:

"I want to build a new nation on this land."

"A country where there is absolutely no betrayal!"

This was a "good idea" that Black Joan of Arc took a long time to come up with.

—She will prove that her revenge is not simply a rage of impotence; it is driven by a higher aspiration and possesses greater abilities.

"I will definitely do better than that Joan of Arc!"

She spoke confidently, as if she had already seen the moment when she would become a leader and lead the people of this country to glory.

But the problem now is——

"Wait a minute."

"You mean, after you've killed almost all the humans in this land and offended almost all the remaining humans?"

"You still want to recruit them and get them to support you in building a country?"

Elizabeth looked at the dragon witch in front of her with disbelief.

She originally thought that Qingji's love-brain was stupid enough... but now it seems that Black Jeanne's paranoia is even worse than hers.

"What did you do earlier?"

Elizabeth asked, puzzled.

To be honest, if Black Joan of Arc had not initiated those massacres in the beginning, but had raised the banner as "Joan of Arc" and called on all French people to join her in launching "Holy Vengeance"... maybe she would have already reached Rome and been crowned Pope.

But now, the world has been turned into this state by her... It's really hard to help.

"I know it's hard."

"That's why I called you all here to figure out a solution!"

Black Joan of Arc also became anxious.

She knew that her brain wasn't working very well - but a hero always has three helpers. When these three "monsters" got together, couldn't they come up with a good idea?

"I'm sorry, you know, I'm not good at this kind of thing at all... My dream is just to be an idol."

"A country? Why do we need to establish a country? Will An Zhen be in this country?"

——Well, I really can’t!

Black Jeanne d'Arc overestimated the intelligence of these two monster lolis, and also underestimated the trouble she had caused to this land.

Yes, after killing most of the people, how could she establish a country on this land?

"I'm such an idiot!"

Black Jeanne, who had just cheered up, became dejected again because of this insurmountable difficulty - she leaned her upper body on the seat, looking very weak.

However, it was at this time

"Ow—"

The sudden sound of a dragon's roar awakened Black Jeanne d'Arc, who was immersed in negativity and failure.

"You said you have a solution? What solution?"

"Hiss—yes, there's this trick as well."

"Why didn't I think of that!"

Listen to the advice given by Bailong.

Black Joan of Arc's eyes gradually changed from being empty and weak to being bright and lively.

In the end, after she listened to the "blueprint" that Shirataki planned for her, she couldn't help but feel excited and directly picked up the flag that symbolized the "dragon".

"Tomorrow—no, now."

"I'll take care of it now, you guys go back and rest first!"

……

the next day.

Perhaps it was because the bed was so comfortable, or perhaps it was because the castle was so safe.

All in all, the savior duo, who should have been nervous and on guard at all times, were not awakened from their sleep until around nine in the morning.

"Good morning, Mash."

"Good morning, Miss Elizabeth, Miss Kiyohime."

The orange-haired girl yawned as she entered the castle's dining room.

The dining table was filled with food prepared by Qingji - a few pieces of bread, a few bottles of milk, and a large plate of grilled sausages.

Very characteristic of this era.

"By the way, Miss Kiyohime and Miss Elizabeth should be Servants, right?"

"Yesterday was really a bit too rushed... Could you please tell me what exactly happened in this era?"

At the dinner table, Fujimaru Ritsuka activated her EX other [Social] skill and tried to establish some friendly relationships with the two Heroic Spirits.

She succeeded, but she also failed.

The reason why I say she is successful is that she does have a magical characteristic, so that even an [anti-hero] like Qingji would not feel bad towards her at the first moment.

As for why she said she failed... I'm sorry, she really asked the wrong person!

Kiyohime and Elizabeth, these two heroic spirits, have been wandering in the wilderness since they were summoned to this land, and were only brought to this castle by Shirataki yesterday. They probably know that something has happened in the outside world, but if you ask them to explain specifically what happened... they can only stammer for a long time but can't make any clear explanation.

"Yeah."

"It seems we can only place our hopes on another heroic spirit."

"By the way, what about that heroic spirit in black armor? Where did she go?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka started to collect information about Black Jeanne again. (From Zhao)

But this time, before the two girls could answer her question, a rapid alarm sound of "beep beep" came from her wrist.

"Ritsuka, Mashu, something bad has happened!"

A translucent blue projection screen floated out from her watch and projected into the air.

A man with orange hair in a single ponytail and wearing a white coat reported what they had just discovered in a very anxious tone:

"According to our monitoring, there has been a large amount of unusual biological activity outside the castle, with the number at least 30,000..."

"It's fifty thousand!"

Before the man could finish his words, he was interrupted by an excited female voice suddenly coming from outside the castle.

"Savior from the future, please open your eyes and watch carefully."

"This power... is proof that I deny the gods and the future you speak of!"

"Dragon, please give me strength!"

Chapter 94: Teaching the Dragon Nation

The witch stands tall on the earth.

Around her was a city in ruins, and standing in the ruins were all kinds of undead spirits.

——These more than 50,000 undead souls were summoned by her from other towns overnight.

Zombies, skeletons, werewolves... dark undead creatures came here at the witch's summons, turning the once deserted city of Orleans into a true "devil's den" again.

"What, what's going on?"

Standing on the balcony of the castle, the orange-haired girl looked at the vast army of undead beneath her feet - she almost thought she had picked up the wrong script and traveled to a horror movie.

Or maybe, this is actually a real horror movie.

Demons, monsters, witches, undead...all kinds of elements in horror movies are available here.

"—but that was in the past!"

Black Jeanne d'Arc stood in the ruins, holding the flag high in her hand.
