"is it?"
Vlad III may have realized that the believers in the Amakusa language included him, or perhaps another person outside the battlefield, but he simply smiled again.
“My friend, may the day come soon when that light touches your cheek.”
After the words were spoken, only the Arbiter and the Greater Grail remained in the space.
"...A miracle?"
Amakusa, utterly baffled by Vlad III's sudden appearance and rapid disappearance, could only conclude that Vlad III's faith had brought about the Lord's Gospel, perhaps like the earlier Adam Golem, he thought.
"This is....."
Later, at the place where Vlad disappeared, Amakusa found a flower that had appeared out of nowhere. He couldn't help but pick it up to examine it, but no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary flower, without any mysterious aura.
"Let's keep it for now."
At this moment, Amakusa had achieved his goal and was only missing the step of making a wish.
But he still had some reservations, not about Joan of Arc, but about the American sun god...
If he is influenced by the Holy Grail during his contact with it, he will most likely fail.
"...Shall we go and meet him?"
After leaving the room, Amakusa Shiro gazed into the distance and murmured to himself,
"Oh, the sun..."
After the Arbiter completely left, the Red Team Sorcerer, who was suspected to be Tamamo-no-Mae's Servant, appeared here without even his own knowledge. Looking in the direction that Amakusa had been looking, he smiled and said, "The supreme sun god of a foreign land."
Even Semiramis, the master of this aerial garden of assassins, was unaware that it was filled with many stones that had suddenly appeared, even in the room where the Greater Grail was located and in and around it.
The warlock seemed to change his face in the next instant. Although the smile did not disappear, it exuded a chilling sense of terror.
"What an uncivilized and barbaric fellow! We are both sun gods, yet you humiliate me like this! I will show you the consequences of such humiliation!"
272: Together to Hell (Joan of Arc Confirmed) (4k)
A little earlier, when the Black faction was nearly wiped out, Novia led the group to an apartment in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
As to why he arrived here so easily, most people were not puzzled and regarded it as a base he had prepared after the present world, except for Abigail, after all, she had a vivid memory of bringing her brother from Shinjuku to this place.
Brother, this is clearly trespassing!
Therefore, the blonde girl couldn't help but complain to herself.
However, it wasn't actually like Abby thought. In the original world, before Novia accepted Ayaka Sajou's invitation to go to her apartment, he had already lived in this place. His landlord was Fiore from the Yggdrasil family, who was also Chiron's Master.
However, in the original world, the Third Holy Grail was not interfered with by Danic, and Fiore voluntarily gave up magic and ran away from home, forcing the family to choose her younger brother, Koles, as the head of the family.
"Grandpa and Grandma, you both need to get some sleep."
After Novia had arranged rooms for everyone, Fran, who was about to go to his room, called out to him and Tralock.
"Fran, you're such a good boy, I'm really growing to like you more and more."
The black-haired girl smiled, and the smile that appeared on her usually indifferent face was quite striking.
"Thank you for your praise, Grandma. After all, I've been wondering for a long time where Grandpa was when Grandma was there. Where was Grandma?"
Frankenstein smiled shyly.
"Now I know Grandma was actually an elf..."
Grandpa is still alive, Grandma is very gentle, and this house is very big and luxurious. Fran thought about everyone...
Being able to live together, well, it would be great if both fathers were here. Even Charles's father, who doesn't know his grandfather, would be very happy to see his grandfather so young, no, mainly because he's still alive...
"Oh, and Earl Edmund too. I'm sure he'll be happy about that. When he defeated those three villains and then went to fight that Cagliostro and that terrifying robot, it was the treasure you entrusted to him, Grandpa, that played a significant role."
Then, the android girl exhaled between her teeth, weaving words of joy as if in song:
"Anyway, Fran is very happy to see Grandpa and Grandma!"
Fran made a sound like a child.
This made Tralock tremble slightly. After all, the reason she readily agreed to Fran's suggestion of her grandmother was initially just to find a reason to spend the night with Favia. However, at this moment, she found Fran increasingly pleasing to the eye.
That's right, she was undoubtedly Fran's grandmother, and also Favia's undisputed lover.
As for Bavan Shi, whom she herself completely ignored, Lake Moon thought it wouldn't be too late for her to come back later.
Abigail, meanwhile, was left speechless with frustration. She was the one who accompanied her brother to the Château d'If, and she was even there when Fran recognized Favia as his grandfather. Logically, Fran should have addressed her as such, but...
The blonde girl was so shy about this that she was too embarrassed to say it. She probably could only speak up boldly when she turned on her "bad girl" mode.
“I’m so glad about that, Fran,” Novia smiled at the girl. “I’m really glad you’re all alive and well.”
On his way there, he naturally learned from Fran what happened after his 'death'. Two of the three wise men of the church who wronged Father Faria were killed by Edmund. Thanks to his guidance and the assistance of Moriarty in England, the last 'wise man', Roya, failed to kill the captain's son who had been kind to Edmund and Edmund's steward. In the end, Roya was killed by the three of them working together, with Edmund naturally playing a major role.
Then came the struggle against the Church, which sought to eradicate the concept of 'Eve' and whose own leaders had been brutally murdered. This conflict dragged on for a long time, with even the Pope personally leading his followers in the struggle. The reconciliation only came when the Church members, along with a few others, killed Theodoric I Alter, a being created by Count Cartier and possessing the power of a mechanical god. Edmund was the one who exerted the most effort in this effort.
Almost the instant Novia finished speaking, Fran quickly got up and started jogging towards the three of them.
At the same time, numerous flower petals appeared in her hands, which she raised high as she ran, scattering the petals with the wind generated by her running.
In just a moment, yet with such vivid imagery, the three people standing amidst the falling petals appeared so surreal.
As for why Fran sprinkled flower petals on Abigail, the petite girl who wasn't her grandmother, it was mainly because Fran sensed that the girl wasn't in a good mood, and although it was their first meeting, she had a strange sense of familiarity with her, as if she had seen Favia once before when she met her at the Château d'If. So, to comfort her, Fran included her in the petals.
Goodnight! You all look so beautiful!
After doing this, Fran ran back to the room at lightning speed, leaving the three of them some time to be together.
“Fran is a good girl.” Tralock’s expression returned to its indifferent state. “So let’s listen to her. We should go to sleep.”
Moon Lake's words were very direct, but the coldness on her face made it seem as if people might misunderstand her meaning. However, Novia found her expression quite normal; in fact, he would have been surprised if she had shown any other expression.
"How about we wait until the Holy Grail War is over?"
Although Novia wasn't entirely against it, he still had Abby by his side, and he had to take care of her.
"What else can we do besides sleep?"
Tralock said in a completely flat tone.
“Yes, it’s just… sleeping, so Abby wants to come along too,” Abby said from behind Novia. “After all, I was always with my brother back then, so it’s totally, totally fine…”
"You should wait until you're a little older, Abby."
Tralock calmly retorted, to which Abby said with some resentment.
"Shut up, Sister Tralock, I know exactly what you're trying to do..."
"The pigeons have arrived."
Novia turned to look at the pigeons at the window and called out softly.
"That's a familiar, right? The servant of that building in the sky, I remember his name is Semiramis, right?"
Tralock explained that the pigeon was one of the familiars of the Red Assassin Semiramis, which were scattered throughout Romania.
"......right."
The pigeons stared motionless as the wind blew, carrying Novia into the room and causing her original attire to flutter in the breeze.
However, the man didn't care and used magic on the pigeon.
In an instant, the flash dominated the surroundings.
Countless particles, like rays of sunlight, leaped from Novia's body. However, they did not shoot straight towards a target. Rather, they were like fireworks soaring into the sky, each ray tracing its own random path as it flew out of her body and scattered in all directions.
It drew an arc and flew towards the dark sky, spreading out like a spider's web, covering the pigeon familiars in Romania like white waves. One of the light particles hit the pigeon familiar standing at the window.
“Isn’t this unnecessary?” Tralock looked at Novia, who had just finished doing all this, with some confusion. “Gaining control of these pigeons doesn’t seem to serve any purpose for us.”
As a black-haired girl with god-level power due to Novia's presence, she was naturally able to discern everything that was happening at that moment.
Just now, the familiars of the assassins all agreed to assist this sun god of the Americas.
"Perhaps I've just become interested? But I promised these pigeons I wouldn't let their chicks get hurt..."
Novia gently stroked the pigeon in her hand, which had become perfectly normal, feeling somewhat puzzled.
He clearly sensed that the pigeon seemed somewhat subtle, as if it disliked him, or more precisely, his 'Fifth Sun' and Abby beside him. If he hadn't been hiding the power of a Sun UO that he hadn't used, he might not have noticed it. That's why he was curious and wanted to take over the authority to see what was going on. But at this moment, it really seemed to be just a pigeon acting as a familiar.
However, thanks to the information transmitted by the pigeons, Novia also saw everything that happened after he defeated Adam Golem. Vlad III was forced to become Dracula and almost obtained the Greater Grail, but was eventually destroyed. However, what was destroyed was not the original Amakusa, but Vlad III, who was a believer and a warrior, and was the Grand Duke who appeared in Fe.
To put it simply, this action reminded Novia of how he dealt with the Sea of Vengeance during the Holy Grail War in FSF, due to the influence of the Greek gods.
However, after Vlad III disappeared, the flower that was with Adam the Golem made Novia think that he might have come with Adam the Golem.
Novia naturally noticed the changes in the Red team's spearmen and sorcerers: Romulus, the Roman god, and Tamamo-no-Mae, the great Japanese yokai...
The former, Novia, had seen it in the Roman-era Epistle of the Siblings, so it was indeed him.
But he found the latter monster rather strange, as its voice sounded familiar... as if he had heard it not long ago.
Novia pondered for a moment, then quickly searched her memory for the original source of the sound—
In Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, Japan, there's a dilapidated shrine inside Yushima Tenmangu Shrine.
"...Could that abandoned shrine actually be a place dedicated to Amaterasu...?"
Thinking about this, Novia couldn't help but feel a little curious about what this sorcerer, who had taken Shakespeare's place, was going to do...
Perhaps it's also because they share the same status as the main sun deity, since Amaterasu is considered a manifestation of the Great Sun Buddha, and her blonde hair and white face, resembling a "bad girl," have reached stellar level under the blessing of the Fe spiritual universe.
However, this doesn't mean that the normal blonde-haired, white-faced creature has stellar-level abilities. Rather, it's because the MC in the FE world enhances it. Other pantheons would also be greatly enhanced if they entered, because the MC is a unified legend that is also a true enhancement, so all of them are uniformly enhanced.
Therefore, this stellar level is limited to the Spirit Universe and still relies on the capabilities of the Minecraft.
Meanwhile, Semiramis, who sat on the throne in the Hanging Gardens, was naturally aware that his familiars had all 'changed their minds'.
This caused a hint of anger on the face of the usually proud Assyrian queen, which made Amakusa, who was resting nearby, curious.
In Semiramis's view, the theft of these pigeons was tantamount to the murder of his parents; the oldest assassins were the sons of men and gods.
The fish god Derictus committed adultery with a human and conceived a girl, who was Semiramis.
Her mother said to her: It is a disgrace to have a child with a human being, and you are my disgrace.
So the fish god abandoned the child, and the man was killed by the god who felt ashamed. But luckily, after hearing the baby's cries, the doves came to take care of her. Countless doves gathered, embraced Semiramis who was shivering from the cold, and filled their beaks with milk from who-knows-where to feed her.
Semiramis grew up under the protection of pigeons whose wings could withstand any storm and nourished by the milk they brought.
Therefore, the pigeons who are her familiars are not just simple familiars, but more like parents.
So the Queen was furious when she learned of this. She naturally didn't think the pigeons were acting voluntarily, but rather that the American sun god had used some kind of trick. If it weren't for the huge difference in strength, she would have really taken the Hanging Gardens directly to face the sun.
"Master, aren't you going to touch the Greater Grail?"
After calming down a bit, Semiramis spoke to Amakusa, who was resting with his eyes half-closed.
The Arbiter desires the 'feet' that can move the Greater Grail, while the Assassin's wish is to rule the world as a 'Queen'. For the Arbiter, he needs the Assassin, but for the Assassin, Amakusa is not a necessary existence.
However, the Assyrian queen did not have any thoughts of betrayal at this moment; she was just annoyed by the 'disappearance' of the pigeons.
"I need three more days."
After answering, Amakusa noticed that his hands were sweating for some reason.
These hands are also his treasures: his right hand is the Devourer of Evil, and his left hand is the Foundation of Heavenly Grace.
In fact, it is precisely because the Arbiter possesses these two Noble Phantasms that he is able to do so.
Although its power is limited, it is a universal key that can be connected to any magic base, thus enabling the use of any magic.
Based on this, the 'system' that can invade the Greater Grail will not lose its self.
So now that the Winter Saintess's consciousness has long since ceased to exist, the Arbiter, who has come into contact with the Holy Grail but cannot lose himself, will be able to speak his dream to the Holy Grail in three days... However, the Sun God, who has been waiting for a long time, may not allow him to speak it.
At this moment, Joan of Arc, who was traveling with Novia and her entourage and was now alone in a room, received another revelation:
"Don't lose to heretical gods."
"...I will."
Joan of Arc nodded silently in agreement.
Lord, I will find the right opportunity to send the Crimson Lotus Saintess and that American Sun God to hell together.
