Public executions started with King Adonai

As for the mission given by the Lord...

Logically speaking, what's more important than whether Joan of Arc is happy or not?

(Matou Zouken: …)

On the rooftop in the distance, Artoria, who was quietly observing the situation in the square, was stunned when she saw Black Jeanne d'Arc actually sitting down and preparing to watch the image on the light screen. Then her expression became a little subtle and strange.

"There's actually such a mysterious creature. Is this guy really a mysterious creature? Or is there some conspiracy that I'm unaware of?"

At this moment, Altria's big eyes were filled with confusion.

However, this situation also made Artoria feel a little relieved. At least she could buy some time to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Now the advance troops of Napoleon's Empire have arrived outside Orleans, but they dare not rashly enter the fog-shrouded city of Orleans. After all, although they are a modern army, they are still just ordinary people. If they accidentally trigger the mysterious killing mechanism, they will die.

And many situations have proved that when facing the mystery, supernatural powers are the most effective. Ordinary people, even elite modern special forces, can only lend a hand.

Looking at the time, Artoria breathed a sigh of relief, because in about thirty minutes, Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Diarmuid should be arriving. By then, the three extraordinary people joining forces should make the task much easier.

However, to be honest, it is still unknown whether the three of them can win. Moreover, the high-level mystery that created Black Joan of Arc and Bluebeard has not yet appeared, and it is unknown what other tricks the mystery side has up its sleeve.

"I hope the situation won't develop in the worst possible direction..."

Muttering softly, looking up at the sky, what Artoria hoped most now was that destiny could provide support. Only in this way could she be sure of achieving the final victory.

As time passed, the countdown for the opening of the light curtain image finally returned to zero, and a new light curtain image appeared.

Before this, many people had already reviewed the previous light screen images.

Of course, Black Jeanne d'Arc was definitely not among them. When she saw the image on the screen change, she immediately pointed at it and said, "Gilgil, look, look, here it comes!"

Bluebeard smiled kindly like an old father.

The two of them watched the images on the screen with peace of mind.

This scene was also told to people outside Orleans, which was undoubtedly surprising, but also gratifying.

Because this directly gives the human side a lot of preparation time, and this preparation time may change many things and reduce many casualties.

At the same time, the light screen imaging officially began.

-

The first image that appeared on the light screen was Kenneth's magic workshop.

When the man regained consciousness, he gasped in pain, his expression distorted with agony.

"Teacher El-Melloi, you're finally awake! Please don't move, you're in dire condition. I've contacted the Clock Tower, and they're sending professionals over!"

A somewhat nervous voice sounded, it was Weber's voice.

When Kenneth turned around, he saw Weber, who looked nervous, standing by the bed.

The windows were closed, the curtains were drawn, and the room was completely illuminated by light. After Kenneth caught his breath, he remembered what he had experienced and his expression became very ugly, even uncomfortable.

The man's body trembled involuntarily, and he let out a painful roar: "Damn it! Emiya Kiritsugu, that damned man! I, I, I... my magic circuits... wu... I..."

Amidst the painful roars and intermittent mumblings, Kenneth's eyes were filled with tears of sorrow and regret.

The background music also became sad at this moment, as if sympathizing with the man's experience.

Seeing Kenneth actually crying, Weber was also confused. He probably never thought that Kenneth, who was usually very strict and talented, would cry like a hurt young wife.

For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

This sad situation has also spread to the real world, making many people feel very uncomfortable.

After all, Kenneth was a rare good guy in the Holy Grail War, and he was already prepared to withdraw from the Holy Grail War. However, good people were not rewarded, and he could not withdraw from the Holy Grail War. When he met Kiritsugu Emiya, it was not as simple as welding the car door shut, but he directly blew up the car.

-

At Yaoguang - Chaldea Headquarters, relevant personnel did not stay in the open-air stands to watch the screen images today. After all, Orleans had suffered a high-level secret attack, and now all efforts were focused on responding to the crisis.

All relevant personnel who were supposed to go to work were pulled to the places where they were supposed to work. Even if they wanted to watch Guangwu images, they had to watch them through video broadcasts at those places.

In a room, Professor Kenneth saw his humiliating appearance and shook his head helplessly. "As I expected, the special bullet caused irreversible damage to my magic circuits. Even if I were seriously injured, I believe I would not cry. Only when the things I have pursued and stood for my whole life are destroyed will I feel such pain."

Professor Weber next to him was silent and shook his head helplessly. He didn't say anything, but he knew very well what this meant.

What Kenneth lost in the image on the light screen would be equivalent to erasing all the knowledge mastered by these professors and scholars in the real world, and they would be unable to learn it again.

For them who have devoted their entire lives to academic research, this is definitely a torture more cruel than killing them.

A female voice rang out from the side: "Wow~ The uncle in the video on the screen is so miserable... He's even crying..."

Looking closely, I saw that the person who made the sound was a girl with long golden hair, wearing blue clothes. She was very beautiful, about 20 years old, with a proud figure and bright green blue eyes that were smart and spiritual.

She is Professor Kenneth's niece, named Lanise Archibald, Kenneth's niece and a college student.

He was not originally in Yingzhou, but for some reason, he recently ran from the British Isles to Yingzhou, so it was natural for him to run to the Yaoguang-Chaldea headquarters to eat and drink.

Of course, nominally she was studying with her uncle, because Lanice was indeed a genius. At the age of 20, she had already obtained two master's degrees, so there was no problem for her to study with Professor Kenneth.

Listening to Lanis's complaints, a soft female voice rang out: "Um, Miss Lanis, I think it's not nice for you to say that about Professor Kenneth..."

The person who spoke was a girl with silver-gray hair and jade-colored eyes. She was in her early twenties and very beautiful. She looked very similar to Morgan and Altria because she had the blood of the Pendragon family.

However, unlike the royal family, the girl is from a side branch, her name is Grey, and she is a disciple of Professor Weber, so Kenneth is considered her master, so she spoke up for Professor Kenneth.

As for Professor Weber and Professor Kenneth themselves, they actually didn't care about it and were concentrating on watching the image on the light screen.

-

In Orleans, at the Cathedral Square, Jeanne d'Arc, looking puzzled, pointed at the image on the screen and asked Bluebeard, "Gill, what's going on with that guy in there? What's that magic circuit he's talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Bluebeard immediately explained what a magic circuit was and told him what had happened to Kenneth.

Black Jeanne was surprised: "What? Is this guy so unlucky? But..."

At this point, she looked unhappy: "Humph, humans are just such ugly and dirty creatures, they love to plot against each other with conspiracy and trickery! Just like when I was abandoned by those hateful creatures and prayed to God, but God remained indifferent, they are all a bunch of hateful creatures!"

Chapter 199 Kenneth's Arrangement

On the light screen, Weber began to comfort Kenneth, trying to cheer up his teacher.

The camera shifted to outside the room, and Diarmuid was seen standing outside the door with a gloomy face full of guilt and regret. He listened to the shameful crying of his master in the room, and the pain in his heart was beyond words. He was also full of hatred for Emiya Kiritsugu who caused all this.

Just looking at those reddened eyes, one could tell that this brilliant face had been blinded by hatred and guilt.

Not far away, the King of Conquerors looked at Diarmuid with a serious and somewhat regretful expression. Alexander the Great, despite his rough and heroic appearance, had already seen through the hidden meaning behind his words. "Lancer, are you now going to abandon even the honor and status of a knight?"

Upon hearing this, Lancer looked at the King of Conquerors and whispered, "My honor and my faith were lost long ago when my Lord was severely injured by a despicable person in front of me. My only obsession now is to slay that despicable person, nothing more!"

"Whether it's a sneak attack or some other despicable means, I won't hesitate!"

After hearing this, the King of Conquerors sighed helplessly, "Is that so..."

He did not try to persuade or comment on anything, because the King of Conquerors understood very well what it meant to not try to persuade others to do good without having experienced their own suffering.

-

When people in the real world saw this scene, many of them felt very uncomfortable, especially those who had liked and admired the knight Diarmuid from the very beginning. They were even more saddened by Diarmuid's attitude that was blackened by hatred and guilt.

There is no doubt that Diarmuid is crying in his heart, because for revenge and to repay the guilt in his heart, this Glorious Face has even decided to break his own code of conduct and become a person as despicable and unscrupulous as Emiya Kiritsugu.

For a person of noble character, this situation is even more cruel than killing him, because Diarmuid is really the kind of knight who would rather die than go against his beliefs. However, now he has abandoned his bottom line for revenge.

Now Diarmuid is just a walking corpse acting for revenge.

Like Diarmuid's fiancée, she was already crying at the Yaoguang-Chaldea headquarters, and she really wanted to see her Diarmuid right now.

But now Diarmuid was still on the military transport plane, and he also saw the image on the light screen on the plane. He couldn't help but sighed, and his heart was full of regret and melancholy for "himself".

However, this situation makes some people very happy.

For example, Black Jeanne d'Arc, a girl born not long ago for revenge, burst into laughter: "Hahahaha~ Yes, that's right! That's it! Chivalry, formal codes, they are all meaningless. As long as revenge can be achieved, any means can be used! Hahaha~~~~"

"Diarmuid, huh? Come on! Let's see how far you, a knight transformed into a vengeful ghost, can go!"

-

The image on the screen shifted back to the room. Thanks to Weber's safety and care, and his own adjustments, Kenneth finally managed to cheer up and stopped crying. However, his expression was very gloomy, and there was lingering pain and hatred in his eyes.

Then, Kenneth explained his physical condition to Weber, because he had obtained a special bullet of Kiritsugu Emiya before, and he had studied the composition, so he knew what the bullet was.

"That bullet has the combined properties of 'severing' and 'combining'. When it injures a magician, it will sever their magic circuits and then crudely reconnect them, causing their entire system to short-circuit and go haywire, thus achieving its goal of destroying the opponent."

"However, after knowing that this Holy Grail War was very dangerous, I actually prepared a backup plan for myself. I carry a magical healing device that can be used even without injecting magic power. When I suffer serious damage, it will automatically activate and heal me."

"It is for this reason that I am waiting to survive such injuries... That despicable man, Emiya Kiritsugu, is undoubtedly a true magician killer. The power he possesses exists simply to hunt down magicians."

As he said this, Kenneth's expression was very gloomy, and what he said also explained clearly to the audience in front of the light screen the function of Kiritsugu Emiya's special bullet.

After listening to this, people in the real world couldn't help but sigh that just as Kenneth said, the power possessed by Emiya Kiritsugu existed simply to hunt down magicians.

Listening to Kenneth's story, Waver's face was also full of tension. He clearly felt the terrifying power of this man, Emiya Kiritsugu, and knew that he was the biggest enemy of magicians like them in this Holy Grail War.

Even such a powerful teacher Kenneth was defeated by Emiya Kiritsugu. How can a weak novice magician like me withstand the crazy output of this scary man like Emiya Kiritsugu?

Cold sweat flowed down involuntarily, and fear appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Kenneth actually laughed, but it was just a sneer, and he said venomously, "What? Are you scared now? Where's that courage you had last night to fight Rider to the very end?"

"Hmm..." Weber let out a weakling threat, but now he was too scared to say anything harsh.

Seeing this, Kenneth snorted, "Fool, now you know you're afraid of tonight. Now that the Overseer has been killed, the Holy Grail War has become a lawless state, akin to 'no man's land'. Even if you want to quit now, it's too late."

"I'm sure that if you try to leave Fuyuki City, you'll most likely be attacked. So, if you want to survive, you'll have to show the same courage you showed last night. Otherwise, only death awaits you."

Hearing this, Weber panicked even more and couldn't help asking, "Then, Mr. Kenneth, where are the people from the Clock Tower? I've already reported your case, and the Clock Tower said they'll send someone to pick you up right away..."

Kenneth snorted coldly, "You actually expect the Clock Tower to provide help? As expected, boy, you are completely ignorant of the cruelty of the magical world! No wonder you dared to write such a treasonous paper, simply because you think you have lived too long, and you still expect me to help you become famous. You are really stupid!"

Weber was stunned. "Huh? What happened to my paper? Could it be that my life is in danger?"

Kenneth sneered, "What do you think? Mr. Velvet—I've told you many times that you are simply an ignorant fool when it comes to the cruelty of the magical world and the intrigues among wizards!"

"Ugh..." Weber wailed again, cold sweat pouring down his face. "I, I, this, this... If the people from the Clock Tower come, Mr. Kenneth, I, we..."

Kenneth: "Did you tell them our exact location?"

Waver shook his head: "No, no, I just told them I was in Fuyuki City..."

Kenneth thought for a moment and then said, "Then if they contact you again, don't communicate with them."

Weber hesitated: "Will that cause them dissatisfaction..."

Kenneth frowned. "How stupid! There are certainly some commendable points in the paper you wrote. Why are you so stupid at a time like this?"

Another scolding from the dean of discipline made Kenneth, as a student, cry out in grief again. This unsatisfactory scene also made many people smile. In this cold and cruel Holy Grail War, there was actually some warmth.

Then, Kenneth angrily scolded, "Idiot! You're in the middle of the Holy Grail War. Why don't you just destroy the communication tool you're using to contact them? Then you can just say you were attacked by another Servant or Master and the tool was destroyed."

"Now that the Overseer is dead, who would record the entire course of the Holy Grail War? And even if they wanted to investigate afterwards, they wouldn't be able to find anything. So, isn't it up to us to make up what happened?"

Waver suddenly understood, and his eyes lit up, as if the door to a new world had opened. He then looked at Kenneth with admiration. Although he didn't say anything, that look of admiration seemed to say, "As expected of Teacher Kenneth, he's got his own way. As a student, I still have a lot to learn!"

After watching the video, people in the real world also got to know Kenneth better, saying that he is indeed a magician. Even though he looks like an honest man compared to other old perverts, he still knows how to use some tricks and keep some thoughts in mind.

Come to think of it, Kenneth's status and position among magicians is obviously of the upper class. If he stands in this position without some means and scheming, he will be eaten to pieces.

This can be seen from the darkness and cruelty of the magic world that has been revealed so far, showing just how bad it is.

Afterwards, Kenneth said that he would contact someone trustworthy to pick him up in Fuyuki City, and as for the person sent by the Clock Tower, he would just leave them there.

Not only that, Kenneth also gave his Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to Weber to use, which made Weber extremely shocked and terrified.

Because the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid is the top-notch magic gift in the entire Clock Tower. It is enough to create a top-notch magic family and is also the symbol of Kenneth.

Weber really felt that he couldn't bear something like this.

"Don't misunderstand, Velvet-san. This magic suit is still mine, but my magic circuits are now damaged and I can no longer use it. To maximize our combat power, I have chosen to temporarily give this magic suit to you. After the Holy Grail War is over, you must return it to me and to the Archibald family!"

"Do you understand, Velvet-san?"

When Weber heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but of course he also felt a little regretful. After all, it was indeed a good thing equivalent to a divine weapon for ordinary magicians, but for Weber, who was basically born into the common people of the magic world, it was equivalent to missing out on billions.

But that's all. Even though he was very naive, he understood that the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid was something he could not afford. Trying to monopolize this magical gift would only attract countless greedy people, leading to fatal disasters.
