After that, after some discussion, the group decided to temporarily rest in the forest today, and then go to meet with Matthew tomorrow.
Even if Rozen wanted to meet with Matthew as soon as possible, his magical power had not been fully restored. Secondly, because of the French Army, there were quite a lot of people there, so it was quite inconvenient to move. At this time, when they just retreated from Orleans, if they acted rashly, it was likely that they would be discovered by the servants.
After thinking about it again and again, Rozan Can reluctantly admitted that now was not the time to rush, so he conveyed the idea to Roman through the communicator and asked Roman to inform Matthew.
Roman naturally would not have any opinion, and he perfectly played the role of backup and acted in a hurry.
In summary, the group continued to hide in the forest and recuperate.
Because Mary and Amadeus had arrived in the forest in advance, they had some understanding of the situation here, and the two volunteered to take some responsibility.
"Although the servants do not need to eat, as long as there is a supply of magical power, it is enough to survive, but Rorelles is the master of human beings, and it is impossible not to eat."
Amadeus opened with such a sentence and went to the depths of the forest to hunt.
"Then I will go get water, a cute deer I met here told me where there is clean water to drink."
Mary said something that made people feel uneasy. Then, she left on her own.
Only Rozen and Jeanne stayed in the same place, one needed to restore the consumed magical power, and the other needed to restore the accumulated damage, so it was inconvenient for them to move.
In this way, the sky gradually became dark, and dusk came.
Over the forest, the light of the setting sun shone down, bringing a sad atmosphere.
Rozen, who had been sitting under a tree, opened his eyes.
"My magical power is almost recovered."
Feeling the magical power in his body, Rozen nodded with satisfaction.
"Although it is only 70% or 80% recovered, I will let the magic circuit run on its own."
In this way, when he woke up tomorrow, his magical power would be fully restored.
"I hope everything goes well on Matthew's side."
Rozen couldn't help but mutter to himself while thinking about his descendant.
His mutterings seemed to have been heard.
"Is that Matthew your servant?"
He saw that Jeanne had also ended her rest and was getting up from under another tree. She looked at Rozen and smiled softly.
Unlike the rebellious and hateful Jeanne Alter, this saintess usually shows a very peaceful and gentle smile, which can make people a little fascinated.
"Yeah." Rozen narrowed his eyes as if he was dazzled by Jeanne d 'Arc's smile. "Are you okay now?"
"Yes." Jeanne nodded and said honestly, "Because the spiritual core was not damaged, there was no hindrance in the recovery of the injury."
Generally speaking, servants were the same as a living automaton. As long as there was magical power, in theory, all injuries could be healed at an extremely fast speed, unless the spiritual core was damaged, or the spiritual core was severely damaged.
Fortunately, because there was no master, they were summoned by the Holy Grail. All servants, including Jeanne, were supplied with magical power by the Holy Grail, so there was no need to worry too much about magical power consumption.
Since there was sufficient magical power, Jeanne d 'Arc's injury naturally didn't take too much time to recover.
So …
"Even now, I can fight normally. Please don't hesitate to use me, Master."
Joan of Arc took it upon herself to make this point clear.
"Master?"
Rozen scratched his cheek.
Strictly speaking, Jeanne d 'Arc was not Rozen's servant.
However, in order to prepare for the next battle, Rozen also asked for a temporary contract with Jeanne, so that he could provide magical power to enhance their combat effectiveness, and he could also use his command spell to strengthen them.
In this way, it seemed reasonable for Jeanne to call Rozen Master.
It was just …
"Since you call me Master, then I have to do my duty and ask again."
Rozen looked at Jeanne d 'Arc and said.
"Is this really okay?"
That was the question he asked during the day.
The meaning behind its words was very simple.
"Do you really plan to fight for France again? Jeanne d 'Arc? "
Rozen finally asked that question.
There was no other way.
"As Dragon Witch said, France betrayed you and watched you being burned. The thing you desperately wanted to protect in your life ended up like this. Even if you don't hate it, there is no reason to continue to fight to protect it, right?"
Rozen stared at Jeanne d 'Arc and said.
"Don't tell me you really don't have a shred of hatred in your heart?"
That was what Rozen always wanted to ask Jeanne d 'Arc.
In this regard, Jeanne d 'Arc seemed to be confused and fell into silence.
However, after a moment of silence, Jeanne answered Rozen without hesitation.
"Yes."
Jeanne d 'Arc said so.
"There is no trace of hatred in my heart."
Rozen was completely stunned by Rozen's answer without any hesitation.
Rozen almost blurted out.
"Why?"
That's right.
Why?
Why are you still willing to stand up for them after being betrayed like this? "
Rozen didn't understand that.
But Jeanne d 'Arc's answer was still so concise.
"Because I have long accepted this ending."
Jeanne d 'Arc raised her head and looked at the setting sun. Her voice slowly sounded as if it came from a distant place.
"I have known for a long time that I will be executed in the end."
That was not a prophecy, it was just an intuition in Jeanne d 'Arc's heart.
And the reason why such an intuition would appear was simple.
"I am just a country girl who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. After hearing the voice of the Lord, I impulsively left my hometown without considering how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead."
Jeanne d 'Arc muttered as if she was talking to herself.
"As a result, in order to save my motherland, I took away the lives of many enemies."
"As a result, in order to liberate people from the pain of war, I personally took away the hope of many enemies who fell under me."
"Leaving my hometown rashly and making an unimaginable wish, the result is that my hands have been stained with a lot of blood."
"It would be abnormal if I wasn't sentenced to death for such an act."
Jeanne d 'Arc's words made Rozen open his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
That's what she said, right?
"Do you … think you are guilty …?"
Rozen's tone was unusually heavy and unusually bitter.
In exchange, Jeanne d 'Arc answered without thinking.
"Yes."
