Chapter 73: First Night

Jeanne stood on a rock and watched all this.

After seeing Wu Ming, Jeanne said in a trembling voice: "Soderlake… Is that really you…"

"Yo~ Jeanne~"

Wu Ming waved at Jeanne and smiled.

A gust of wind blew, and Jeanne flew over and hugged Wu Ming tightly.

"Soderlake, I…" Jeanne buried her head in Wu Ming arms while crying, she tried to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

"Jeanne..."

Wu Ming also hugged Jeanne tightly, at this moment, no one spoke.

For a moment, Astolfo raised his hand and said, "Anooo… Stop hugging, he going to die…"

Hearing that, Wu Ming and Jeanne immediately parted, and Jeanne had a red face and turned around slightly embarrassed.

Wu Ming looked at Astolfo savagely, but he knew the weight and didn't mean to blame Astolfo.

"I have a way to save him." At this moment, Siegfried spoke.

"Do you have a way?" According to <The Song of the Nibelungs> that Wu Ming knew, Siegfried didn't have the Noble Phantasm to save others, so he asked.

"Yeah, I have a way." As he said, Siegfried put his hand in front of him.

Wu Ming and the others knew what Siegfried was going to do at this time, and they didn't say anything.

Only Jeanne said: "Please wait a moment! No, Siegfried!"

With Jeanne character and the identity of the overseer of the Holy Grail War, Jeanne would not let Siegfried choose this path.

Jeanne sincerely cares for the Master and Servant in the Holy Grail War.

But Siegfried wouldn't listen to Jeanne and he thrust his hand over him stomach, avoiding him ribs, and pulling out him heart.

"This…is…my wish…by my own will…will…help him…people…"

Siegfried took his heart, placed it on the Homunculus chest, and pushed it against his body.

The heart enters the body as if an object entered the surface of the water, producing a slight ripple.

"Please, Soderlake..."

Siegfried disappeared like a hero.

Immediately, Homunculus with Siegfried heart came to his senses.

"…I…this…" His red eyes were filled with confusion, and these confused eyes stared at Wu Ming, Jeanne and Astolfo.

"You were saved, Siegfried gave you his heart, and now your body has become a normal person."

After hearing this, he touched his chest with some uncertainty, and then he spoke very slowly: "I... can I live..."

"Yeah, now you just need to give yourself a name, and I'll take care of the rest." Wu Ming said to him sincerely.

After that, Wu Ming left with Jeanne of Arc, Astolfo, and Homunculus who got Siegfried heart, leaving only Gordes in a coma.

Before long, someone found the unconscious Gordes and took him away.

...

Trifas, Millenia Fortress.

Many figures gathered in the hall, including Servants and Masters.

The Vlad III that Wu Ming saw earlier, sat on the throne, and stood beside him, the leader of Yggdmillennia, Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia.

This was a young man who looked like he was in his twenties or thirties, but in fact he had lived for nearly a hundred years.

Him purple pupils and long dark green hair were tied into a ponytail with a black headband and placed behind him head. Wearing the black-and-white uniform of the "Yggdmillennia" clan and wearing a white robe.

He looked at Gordes with an annoyed face and said.

"So, what happened, Gordes Musik Yggdmillennia! Why did Saber disappear?"

"I… I… don't know… I fainted… Why did this happen!" Gordes seemed to have given up hope and he couldn't speak properly.

At this time, Black Caster spoke: "I extracted the traces of the scene from the Golem energy crystal at the scene."

"Show it, Avicebron," said Vlad III.

"Yes." A voice without a trace of emotional change came from behind Avicebron mask.

Through the Magecraft projection, everyone saw the incomplete picture, but the specific reason for Saber disappearance was already known.

"Unexpectedly, Saber chose to lay down him life for the Homunculus," said Caules Forwardge Yggdmillennia, Master of Frankenstein Black Berserker Servant.

"In short, the current situation is very unfavorable for us."

"Even though we captured the red Berserker, we lost Saber, the strongest fighting force on the surface. Assassins are out of control, Rider are defecting, and the red faction might as well know our situation," said Avicebron.

"So how about using Command Seals to recall Rider?" asked Caules.

"It's useless, Riders with magic power below the Noble Phantasm bonus, even if using Command Seals, it will use two Command Seals. Which is too detrimental." Master Rider Black Celenike Icecolle Yggdmillennia said.

"I will find Rider myself, please don't worry, patriarch."

"Um."

"Gordes, do you have any information about the two red faction Sabers?" Darnic asked. He didn't have much hope, he just wanted to ask.

The result was beyond his expectations.

"Yes… there is intel. There are two red Saber. The real name of the Servant who fought against Siegfried is Soderlake."

"Oh~ the famous French general, the hero of national safety?" Vlad III is clearly interested in Soderlake who is a hero of salvation like him.

"And… and he also said… he was an additional summoned Servant, and he said that after tonight he won't be an enemy anymore…" Gordes said nervously.

"What does this mean?" Caules asked in confusion.

"It seems that Soderlake identity is somewhat special, but no matter what happens, we have to be prepared."

With this, on the first night of the brief confrontation, the black and red factions fell to the curtain at their respective losses.

.....

On the other hand, Wu Ming, Jeanne, and Astolfo came to the farmer house enthusiastic about a Homunculus calling himself Sieg.

"In that case, Astolfo, Sieg will be left to you."

"Well~ leave it to me~" Astolfo raised his hand and smiled happily.

"Remember to use the scroll I gave you, so that you can temporarily block the connection between you and your Master, but remember not to approach your Master, or you will be discovered."

"Yes~"

Then Wu Ming looked at Sieg again.

"Sieg, now you have to think about how to live in the future, after all, you already have the life span of a normal human."

"I don't know..." Sieg shook his head. He was born as a source of magic power. He didn't know what to do at this point. He just wants to live.

"Then just think about it, whatever you do, don't go against your heart and follow your heart lead."

"Goodbye~ Sieg, Astolfo."

After speaking, Wu Ming turned his head to look at Jeanne, the two smiled knowingly and left side by side.
