No one responded in the shadow, but Jeanne soon discovered the abnormality and exclaimed, "There's a hidden magic boundary there!"
Gildrey's class was Caster, and he was also a loyal believer of Cthulhu. With his ability, it was not difficult for him to create a magic boundary to hide himself. Even a judge like Jeanne might not be able to find it without Tang Hao's reminder.
Hei Zhen naturally didn't notice it, but frowned and said, "Are you out of your mind? There's no one there at all, and I asked Gildrey to guard the prison city. Without my order, he won't come out at all. "
"Is that true? Since Gildrey won't come out, then let me say it. " Tang Hao pointed to Hei Zhen and smiled slightly. "Dragon Witch, do you know why Jeanne, who has no dark side, gave birth to a servant like you? Do you know why, after you appeared in the world as Joan of Arc, there was another Joan of Arc who became your enemy? If I'm not mistaken, you should not have any memory of Jeanne's life. Do you know why this is? Do you know … "
"Shut up! Don't say anymore! "
Before Tang Hao finished speaking, a figure suddenly flashed out of the shadow. His face was full of anger, and he stared at Tang Hao fiercely as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"Gildrey!" Hei Zhen looked surprised. "Aren't you stationed in the prison city? Why are you here?"
"I'm sorry, Jeanne." Gildrey immediately restrained his anger and bowed to Hei Zhen. "Although the garrison of Prison City is indeed very important, I was more worried about your safety. That's why I disregarded your orders and secretly hid myself. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise you would have been deceived by that guy again."
"Jeanne, the current situation is not good for us. I will use my Church Book to hold you back. You rush back to the prison city as soon as possible to summon a new servant. We will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory."
"Wait, Gildrey!" Seeing that Gildrey was about to use his noble phantasm, Hei Zhen immediately stopped him. "This is not urgent. I want to hear him out."
Gildrey was stunned, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes. "You still want to listen to him now? He is a liar. Have you forgotten how he lied to you before? If he didn't betray you, how could we be forced by Chaldea to this point? Believe me, Jeanne, only I will never betray you! "
"Jill." "Of course I know you won't betray me, and I also know that he's a liar. But I still want to hear what he has to say."
Hei Zhen couldn't suppress her desire to explore because just as Tang Hao said, she didn't have any memories of her previous life. Whether it was her parents, villagers, or comrades, she had completely forgotten everyone. She was often troubled by this. Why didn't she have this memory? Even if she was Jeanne's dark personality, she shouldn't have lost this part of her memory.
Therefore, even if Tang Hao had lied to her before, she still wanted to hear him out.
As for whether it was true or not, she would judge for herself.
Gildrey was anxious. He didn't want Hei Zhen to know the truth. However, the progress of things had completely exceeded his expectations. Tang Hao seemed to know the truth, and Hei Zhen was not as obedient as he had imagined. He found that he couldn't stop it at all.
If he forced it, it would be ignoring Hei Zhen's order, which was also a kind of betrayal.
In desperation, he had to stay by the side and stare at Tang Hao with hatred.
Tang Hao turned a blind eye to Gildrey's gaze and continued, "In fact, there is only one truth, that is, Dragon Witch, you are not Jeanne at all."
"Shut up!" Gildrey couldn't help but roar. His trembling hands made him want to use his noble phantasm to crush Tang Hao. However, he hesitated and hesitated. In the end, he didn't do it.
"Ha!" Hei Zhen laughed evilly, "You really are a liar. I had some expectations for your words, but I didn't expect you to say such ridiculous words … Well, according to what you said, since I am not Jeanne, then who am I?"
"You are no one." Tang Hao shook his head. "You're just a puppet made by Gildre using the Holy Grail. You have an artificial body, a borrowed heart, a fake Spirit Base, and an external personality. So you're not Jeanne d 'Arc at all. You're just … the ideal Jeanne d' Arc that Gildre created through the power of the Holy Grail."
"Gildrey said that he would not betray you, which is the truth. Because when Jeanne died, he completely fell. There was only hatred and anger left in his heart, but he knew very well that Jeanne did not have resentment, which was not in line with his ideals. So, when he obtained the Holy Grail, he did not use it to resurrect Jeanne. Instead, he recreated his ideal Jeanne … Of course, he would not betray her. How could he betray his ideals? But, he was not loyal to Jeanne, he was only loyal to himself. "
As soon as Tang Hao said this, the audience was silent.
Jeanne seemed to have noticed this a long time ago. Her face did not change much, and Mashu was only a little surprised. Only Fujimaru Tachika and Hei Zhen were completely stunned and could not understand for a while.
As for Gildrey, he lowered his hands and closed his eyes. He seemed to have accepted his fate.
"The Dragon Witch is just a puppet made by Gildrey? Then … "Fujimaru Tachika suddenly recovered," That is to say, the Holy Grail is actually in Gildrey's hands! "
Beep!
At this time, Roman's image jumped out and said loudly, "Ahhhh, it has been detected here. Yes, the Holy Grail is in Gildrey's hands! So that's how it is, so that's how it is … I thought it was strange. Obviously, Gildrey was Jeanne's most loyal subordinate, but in the previous battles, he never appeared. After all, as long as he appeared in front of us, with Chaldea's technology, we can immediately detect the existence of the Holy Grail. Then, it will be clear at a glance who is the culprit who created this singularity! "
Fujimaru Tachika could not help but look at Mashu, "Mashu, you don't seem too surprised. Have you guessed it already?"
"No, although I have guessed the origin of the Dragon Witch, I didn't expect the Holy Grail to be in Gildrey's hands."
On the opposite side, Kuzen was silent.
If it was only Tang Hao's statement, she could still refuse to believe it, but even Roman and Mashu said so. She quickly turned her head and looked at Gildrey next to her. When she saw his silent expression with his eyes closed, the last trace of doubt in her heart completely disappeared.
"Hahahaha-"
Suddenly, Kuzen looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
But there was not the slightest pride in the laughter, only a hint of humor.
It turned out that she was the fake Jeanne, and the little girl that she had always looked down on was the real Jeanne. She was just a puppet made of clay, and she just happened to have the appearance of Jeanne, so she did not have the memory of Jeanne.
In other words –
France's betrayal to her, God's abandonment of her, these all did not exist, and her so-called revenge was nonsense because she was not Jeanne at all!
How ironic was this?
How ridiculous was this?
In the end, it was just her wishful thinking. Even Jeanne herself did not have the desire for revenge. What was the point of such a false existence like her doing this?
The flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, everything was empty talk.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is …" Kuzen lowered her head and looked at Tang Hao again, but at this moment, there was no longer the slightest anger and hatred in her eyes, only endless emptiness. "That's why you betrayed me, because I am not Jeanne at all, so when the real Jeanne appeared, you left me. That's right, after all, who would care about a puppet? A puppet has no place to go, and there is no value in it. "
"No, you're wrong." Tang Hao shook his head. "Although you are not Jeanne d 'Arc, this has nothing to do with you. Jeanne d' Arc is Jeanne d 'Arc, and you are you. Although your identity is fake, your existence is not fake."
"I'm only denying your identity, not your existence. In fact, most people in this world can't be like Jeanne d 'Arc, who has no hatred or resentment. Although your Spiritual Base was born from nothingness, it can't be maintained for long with just the power of the Holy Grail. In theory, it should dissipate in less than a day. But why do you still exist?"
"Why?" Kuzen also asked.
"It's very simple." Tang Hao smiled slightly, "Because Jeanne is a saint, and there are more mortals in the world. After mortals learn of Jeanne's story, they will feel sorry for her, curse the ruthlessness of the French royal family, and despise the darkness and evil of the church. Many of these people, like Gilderay, hope that Jeanne can come back to life and take revenge. So, although your spiritual base is fake, this wish and expectation is not fake … In fact, I also have similar thoughts, otherwise, why would I help you kill the church and the French royal family?"
Kuzen was stunned for a while, her eyes gradually became clear, but soon she gritted her teeth and said, "In that case, why did you betray me? Isn't it because the real is better than the fake? "
"No, this has nothing to do with the real or fake. Whether you are the real Jeanne or the fake Jeanne, the moment you tried to destroy humanity, you and I were destined to be enemies."
Tang Hao stared at Kuzen, and for the first time, he revealed a serious expression and said in a low voice.
"I returned to the Great Qin Empire from the destruction of humanity. In that era, I met with ancient figures and fought side by side with them in order to save humanity. Now that I have returned to this world with great difficulty, how can I stand on the same side as you? If I do this, how can I be worthy of the trust the first Emperor has in me? How can I be worthy of Matriarch Ji's efforts? How can I be worthy of Yu Ji's 2,000 years of waiting? How can I be worthy of … Roman's diary? "
