Chapter 399:
"They came to me just now, but I have something to discuss with the director. They should be with the Mona Lisa now. Mr. David, have you read the record of the third singularity, did you gain anything?"
"reward?"
David was stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly, "I suddenly feel a little regretful that I don't have that part of the memory. It's a miracle to fight heroes from different eras, but I want to know what happened in the time outside the record. What, what kind of feeling would make me save that magician at all costs."
Not only David, but also Arturia and Joan of Arc are very concerned about what happened to their "former self" or "other self". Of course, this is just curiosity, it does not mean that they will be influenced by the other self.
"So, I mean if—if you went back to that time, would you sacrifice your life to save Magician S?"
For some reason, Roman asked this stupid question, and David was stunned by this stupid question.
Without that part of the memory, it cannot be seen as the same person. There is no shared experience, no bond with each other, and different choices made, so they are completely incomparable.
- even if they were both Davids.
But Roman really wanted to know David's answer. He really wanted to know if this David would sacrifice his life to save Magician S when he returned to that time—or rather, die instead of him.
David looked at Roman unexpectedly, causing Roman's eyes to move to the side with a guilty conscience.
"I know how."
"why?"
"...Well, how should I say it? After the singularity is repaired, the Servant summoned by the suppression force will also disappear from that era, so even if I hadn't been killed, I couldn't stay in that era. Besides, Magician S is If an important person in the restoration of human relations dies like this, it will become more difficult to restore human relations, and I believe that any Servant will make such a choice at this time."
"No, that's not what I meant, I meant..."
say what? If the two still have the memory of fighting together? Or did David know his true identity?
There is no if, there is no possibility of this assumption from the beginning, Roman's problem is more like making trouble.
Roman sighed, intending to end the topic.
"And that magician must be a very amazing person."
"Hey?"
Roman never thought that David would have such an idea.
His accident went unnoticed by David.
"What I just said was based on the premise of rational thinking, but you should have seen the record. At that time, there was no time for hesitation, but 'he' had given up the desire to live to die in place of the magician, that The magician must be someone who is important to 'him'. Of course, that's just him, and it has nothing to do with me. It's funny you ask this question, I'm me, 'he' is 'he', how can Are you confused? By the way, my current Master is Rika, she is your daughter, so you are worried about my choice when she is in danger, right? Don’t worry, if there is a day, I will definitely Like 'him', even if he loses his life, he has to save Rika."
"Yes, is it?"
After speaking, David has lowered his head, and it seems that he no longer wants to talk to Roman.
David's answer doesn't respond to Roman's expectations, but that's normal isn't it? As David says, he's him, "he" is "he", or whatever David says won't really make Roman Reigns happy.
Seriously, what am I expecting?
"Doctor Roman."
"What's the matter, Miss Jeanne?"
Just as he was about to leave, Jeanne stopped him.
She probably found her speech very abrupt, and looked at Arturia and David a little embarrassed. But Roman was still waiting for her, so Joan did not continue to be silent.
"Do you remember our agreement?"
contract?
Roman began to recall his relationship with Joan, and soon understood what Joan meant.
"Of course. When are you free?"
"Is it alright tonight? I'll go to your room."
Joan of Arc's words made Arturia and David immediately confused.
Of course, things are not as complicated as they thought. The agreement between Roman and Joan of Arc is actually very simple. It is the literacy issue that was discussed last time. Joan of Arc, who was born in the village of Orleans, was completely illiterate, and had longed for scholars who were out of reach, but she had no chance to study until her death.
After all, it was the time of the Hundred Years' War. As the saint who took the lead in charging, where would there be such an international time?
At eight o'clock in the evening, Joan of Arc appeared in Roman's room. But this time, I didn't wear casual clothes. After all, the last time I was forced to wear it was only because of Lixiang's order. This time, I was wearing normal clothes.
However, Joan of Arc may be an expert with a gun and a sword, but it is really difficult for her to write with the pen.
Hearing a click, the bodies of both Roman and Jeanne froze suddenly, and then sighed regretfully.
"Let's take a break first."
"Hold, sorry, Dr. Roman, I've been paying attention."
"I see. But we still need to rest, at least you should relax your body."
Roman saw that the broken pens on the table had piled up into mountains, and the scraped paper in the trash can slipped down from the hill, and suddenly felt that reading and writing by Joan of Arc was a very distant fantasy.
"If it goes on like this, there is no way to continue." Jeanne looked at the broken pen, and suddenly had the feeling that she was designated as an illiterate.
"Aren't you ready to write your own name? It's a good start, just keep going."
"make persistent efforts?"
Joan of Arc glanced at the pile of pens and then at the trash can full of paper balls, all of which were the result of persistent efforts.
As for the written name, it is even more ridiculous. Every letter can cut a piece of paper. Do you have to put together those waste papers to spell your own name?
"Maybe only Dr. Roman can bear me. If it was anyone else, it would have been too long."
This is really the case.
She worked in the farmland when she was young, and spent time on the battlefield when she grew up. Now it is very difficult to pick up a pen and write. The memory of her body makes her progress in this regard very slow.
If someone else encountered such a student, they would probably persuade Jeanne to give up. But a temperless person like Roman had no such idea, and if Jeanne wanted to learn, he would take the trouble to teach her.
He has never been able to refuse a request from a friend.
So Roman didn't get angry, but he didn't deny it either, just smiled softly at Joan of Arc.
This guy had no idea at all that this kind of acquiescence would be another kind of harm to Joan of Arc.
Then there was a hissing sound, and a piece of white paper was "severed in two". This happens every time Joan of Arc writes, and now both Roman and Joan are used to this phenomenon.
Joan of Arc stared at the blank paper in front of her for a long time, and then said dejectedly: "I really am...too stupid."
"There is no such thing, you are just not good at it, and it is normal to have problems if you are not used to it."
Joan of Arc embarrassedly stretched out her finger and scratched her face: "Actually, when I was alive, I also asked Jill to teach me how to read, but in the end Jill gave up completely, and when he died, he could only recognize his own name, but Can neither write nor recognize other words."
After speaking, Joan of Arc was both embarrassed and shy. She felt that she was really stupid, and it was only through Roman's constant encouragement that she could persist until now.
"It's normal, in the process of listening, reading and writing, writing is usually the last step."
"Did Dr. Roman go through this stage before?"
- No, not at all, I was born to read and write human words.
Of course Roman didn't say it, and this would only continue to attack this studious saintess.
and many more……
"Joan of Arc, can you take off your armor?"
"Huh? Clothes?"
"Armor! I mean armor!"
"Just armor? Wait a minute."
Roman suddenly felt that he had found the source of Joan of Arc's tension. Did this woman regard tonight's homework as a battlefield from the beginning?
By the way, did Jeanne say something strange just now? Forget it, she might be wrong.
After taking off the armor, Joan was only wearing a white tight-fitting battle skirt. The fabric battle skirt made the waist that was originally straight a lot easier.
Jeanne was even exaggeratedly relieved.
At this time, Roman realized that he actually didn't know how to teach a person to write, because from the beginning to the present, he had neglected one thing - he did not even guide Joan of Arc's hand to write, but simply put the template on the In front of him to imitate.
I can't blame Roman for this, after all, he has really reached the sky in this respect, completely different from the steps of reading and writing for ordinary people.
After discovering that he had made a mistake, Roman had to grab Joan of Arc's hand——
"Ok--"
Roman felt Joan's hand jump up in an instant.
"Not used to it? But I think this step is necessary, because I really think that I have never taught you the strength of the pen and the skills of writing."
Roman couldn't help but complain about himself, because he found that he was a failed teacher at all. What can he do with patience?
--magic.
The moment the skin of the two touched, Joan of Arc felt the magic power from Roman.
Servants are different from human magicians. They are no longer flesh and blood, but ghost-like beings. No matter how deeply Roman was hidden, it was enough for Joan of Arc to understand the secret that Roman was not an ordinary person at the moment of contact.
PS: I will probably be a pigeon once during the National Day trip.
Chapter 631 Chapter 160: The King's Story
In the following study time, Joan of Arc seemed absent-minded, and her hand was left to Romain to keep sliding on the paper, but this kind of puppet-like reaction was impossible to memorize the written letters in the brain.
Roman thought that Joan of Arc's spirit had begun to get tired, but he didn't know that during this period of time, Joan of Arc had almost figured out his details.
Joan of Arc was not surprised by this.
Not only her, Joan of Arc believes that no one in the whole Chaldea thinks Roman will be a magician (laughs). This doctor feels no different from ordinary people. Who would have thought that he would always hide his identity?
Joan of Arc suddenly thought that the Chaldean uniform that Roman was wearing could tightly wrap his body except his head, and even if he walked outside, he would wear white hand socks. This was probably because Roman was trying to hide himself as a magician. Wear it for your identity.
Joan of Arc also knew very well that neither Lixiang nor Matthew knew that Roman was a magician. However, when Roman was so severe in Chaldea, he still only served as an ordinary doctor, which made Joan very worried.
He must have a purpose in concealing this matter from everyone, and it may not be a good thing.
Jeanne felt that she should tell Lixiang of this discovery.
"That's it for today, Joan of Arc, it's time for you to take a break. No matter how hard you try, you'll never make progress if you keep your nerves tight."
After discovering that Joan of Arc was absent several times, Roman decisively ended the study tonight, only to find that Joan of Arc had not heard him at all.
"Joan of Arc? Joan of Arc?"
"Huh? What? Are you finished?"
Joan of Arc realized that Roman was calling her, and then saw that her name was already written on the paper, and Roman looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong? The body... No, Servant won't get sick, so is it a problem with the spiritual foundation? Jeanne, if you feel something is wrong, just wait a little longer, and I will check the spiritual foundation for you. "
"No, no need, I'm fine, I just thought of something."
"So that's how it is. Let's end today's study. It's time for you to rest."
In the end, Roman still believed Joan's words, but he also took note of Joan's abnormality. If this happens next time, he should take her to check the Lingji.
- I don't feel disgusted.
Joan of Arc didn't feel the unpleasant feeling in Roman. As a Servant of the saint type, she is very sensitive to the maliciousness and kindness of people. With just one look, she can understand whether that person has good intentions or malicious intentions.
Since she was summoned to Chaldea, Joan of Arc and Roman did not communicate much, but no malice from Roman was found. A person may disguise himself as a good person, but he cannot change his heart, especially for Joan of Arc.
Maybe there are other reasons.
Roman sent Joan out of the door, and he found that it was nearly ten o'clock now: "Do you still need to patrol Chaldea tonight? It's really hard for you, without your protection, everyone in Chaldea will feel the same. People are apprehensive."
"This is our duty. Don't worry, it's not a problem for us, because Servants don't need to rest. Moreover, the number of Servants in Chaldea has begun to increase, and now there are me and Aalto patrolling. Leah and Mr. David, so it's not boring, I..."
Joan of Arc planned to say goodbye, but at this time she heard a voice from the depths of the spiritual foundation, reminding her of the humiliation a month ago——
——"I order you in the name of the Command Spell, Jeanne..."
——"I order you in the name of the Command Spell, Jeanne..."
——"I order you in the name of the Command Spell, Jeanne..."
"No!!"
Joan of Arc let out a feeble whimper, and a sense of shame suddenly filled her body. She even felt her legs start to soften, and a sense of powerlessness came, which made Joan realize what a real weak girl is.
"Joan of Arc? Joan of Arc? It seems that you are too tired, you should take a good rest, your current state is not suitable for work... Leave it to David to do it, anyway, Servant will not feel tired, hehe, It doesn't matter if Arturia's share is given to him."
