Chapter 1461 Work Together?

Sis-Con with Dimensional Chat Group

"Work together?"

Jeanne couldn't help but look at Kairi in surprise.

Facing such a reaction from Jeanne, Mordred curled her lips and said, "Hey, hey, why are you so surprised?" She grinned and said, "We don't plan to fight against you so isn't it normal for us to work together with you, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Jeanne became calm and nodded.

"I understand."

Jeanne glanced at Mordred then at Kairi, and finally, she understood why they were eager to work with her.

"Did you want to work with me because of the Holy Grail?"

Because among the people in this place, it was only Jeanne who could determine the position of the Holy Grail.

If Kairi and Mordred wanted to get the Holy Grail, then working together with Jeanne was naturally the fastest way for both of them to get the Holy Grail.

Jeanne's words caused Kairi and Mordred to feel a bit startled then looked at each other.

"Well, you have seen through us, right?" Kairi let out a long sigh and then looked at Mordred with a helpless expression. "Look, I told you not to say much. You're not good at lying, and because of that you have exposed our intention to Ruler."

"You...! This isn't my fault!" Mordred was furious and pointed her finger at Kairi. "I just said a few words! Why did you say that everything is my fault?!"

"For a smart person, one sentence is enough." Kairi let out a tired sigh and said, "With what you have said before, it is quite easy for someone to determine our intention which causes this to happen."

"Uh..." Mordred knew that it was her fault for talking too much, but she was unwilling to admit it.

Seeing this situation, Jeanne chuckled. She had to admit that the combination of Kairi and Mordred was too funny. She then looked at both of them and said, "I understand, then let's work together."

"Eh?" 2x

Hearing such an answer, Kairi and Mordred were dumbfounded on the spot, they looked at Jeanne with a confused expression.

"You... You agree?" Kairi was in a daze and asked, "Even if you know that our purpose is the Holy Grail, you agree to work with us?"

"There's nothing to be surprised about." Jeanne smiled and said, "I am the Ruler of the Holy Grail War. I will act fairly to every master and servant in this Holy Grail War and it is also normal for you to want to get the Holy Grail. As long as you don't violate the rules of the Holy Grail War, then I don't have a reason to stop you from gaining the Holy Grail."

In the end, Jeanne didn't have a conflict of interest with Kairi and Mordred so she didn't mind working together with them.

"The act of guiding you to the Holy Grail might be a little violation in this Holy Grail War, but I need your help to stop Amakusa Shirou Tokisada so whoever gets the Holy Grail in the end, it isn't within my jurisdiction."

Jeanne explained so.

However, Jeanne was somewhat bitter in her heart since she had some selfish feeling where she wanted Haru to win the Holy Grail War, but as the Ruler of the Holy Grail War, she couldn't intervene with the issue of the ownership of the Holy Grail and she couldn't cause trouble for Kairi and Mordred because of her selfishness, even though she knew that both of them were trying to use her to get the Holy Grail for themselves.

Hearing Jeanne's explanation, Kairi and Mordred smiled.

"Very good!" Mordred grinned and patted Jeanne's shoulder. "That's how it should be!"

"It's great that you have agreed." Kairi took his cigarette from his pocket, and after lighting it, inhaled the smoke to his lungs, released it out, and said to Jeanne, "Then, you can bring Saber with you, as long as you lead us to the Holy Grail, we will provide you with combat assistance."

Before Jeanne could react to Kairi, Mordred was shocked and pointed her finger at herself.

"Me? Just me?" Mordred looked at Kairi with a suspicious expression and asked, "What about you?"

"Of course, I hide." Kairi smoked, leaned on the wall relaxedly, and said, "This is the fight between monsters. If I am there then I might die, I don't want to die."

"...Master, aren't you too timid? You're a necromancer! You have seen a lot of corpses and people dying, how can you be afraid to die?!"

"It's because I am timid that I can survive until now. If I weren't afraid of death, I might have become a corpse a long time ago."

Kairi said and didn't even care about both Mordred and Jeanne who looked at him with a speechless expression since it might be weird for a necromancer to be afraid of death and made a decision to that was the most beneficial for himself, rationally.

Kairi waved his hand and said, "I will go and hide now. I will be only your burden if I go with you."

"Hurry up and go!" Mordred snorted and shook her head. "Don't hide too far away, or it'll be troublesome to protect you."

"It's good."

Kairi left such a sentence and then slipped away.

"Okay, Ruler, don't just stand there." Mordred was very rude, placed her sword on her shoulder, and said, "If you don't move then I will leave you behind."

After that, Mordred really left Jeanne behind and walked forward on her own.

Jeanne wasn't sure what to say and there was only one question remaining on her mind.

"Does she really want me to lead the way?"

Jeanne was speechless, shaking her head, before chasing after Mordred since this rebellious knight almost lost on her way.

After starting again, Jeanne and Mordred turned into two whirlwinds, galloping on the corridor in this floating garden.

In the process, Jeanne relied on her privileges as a Ruler to see through Mordred's status parameter.

Class: Saber.

Master: Kairi Shishigou.

True Name: Mordred.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral.

Parameter:

Strength: B+

Endurance: A

Agility: B

Mana: B

Luck: D

Noble Phantasm: A

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance: B Rank.

Cancel spells with a chant below the three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for her to be affected.

Riding: B Rank.

Most vehicles can be handled with above-average skills. However, Mordred cannot ride the likes of Phantasm Races such as Monstrous Beasts.

Personal Skills:

Instinct: B Rank.

During the battle, one is able to always feel the optimal course of action. Visual and auditory obstacles are halved.

Mana Burst: A-Rank.

Mordred's weapons and body are infused with magical energy just like her father. By taking off her Noble Phantasm helm, Mordred is able to further chad her body into mana.

Battle Continuation: B Rank.

This skill represents her will to not give up. It was thanks to this strong curse that bound her body that she was able to give Artoria a mortal wound even after death from having been pierced with the Holy Lance.

Charisma: C Rank.

A rare skill that represents the natural talent to command an army. During team battles, one's team's abilities are elevated. Mordred's charisma fully shows itself during the rebellion.

.---

Mordred seemed to have a Noble Phantasm that hid her True Name and ability. If it weren't because of Jeanne's extremely high luck, she wouldn't be able to see Mordred's True Name and ability.

After seeing through Mordred's abilities, Jeanne nodded and amazed.

'She deserves to be the knight who ended the legend of King Arthur.'

In Jeanne's mind, Mordred was really worthy to be Saber Class, who was known as the strongest type of servant in the Holy Grail War.
