Who told this thing to suddenly rush up like that?
And of all people to attack, they had to attack him.
As a straight man, Ma En was startled when suddenly attacked by such a burly man, and his instinctive reaction was to knock the other man down.
After all, he's not gay and doesn't want to be close to muscular men.
Well, except for cute boys.
"Forehead……"
The people behind Ma En finally reacted, looking at the corpse of Siegfried, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
"Ahem, well, let's wake him up first," En said somewhat awkwardly.
"Uh-huh."
No one dwelled on what had just happened. Lanling Wang stepped forward, took the bucket of water that Ma En had created, and poured it on Siegfried's head.
"Huh? What's wrong with me?"
Siegfried woke up instantly, but was still a little dazed.
Marne's punch just now almost gave him a concussion, even though he had once been bathed in dragon blood and was now transformed into the 'Dragon's Blood Armor,' a Noble Phantasm that grants immunity to physical and magical attacks of rank B and below.
Then he saw Marne and the others, and instantly remembered what had just happened.
He stood up abruptly, looking at everyone warily.
“Um, I think you might have misunderstood. We are not enemies, and this person over here is not Jeanne Alter. Take a closer look.”
Maren stepped forward somewhat awkwardly.
"Not an enemy?"
Siegfried was slightly taken aback. He carefully examined Joan of Arc and found that she was indeed different from the Black Joan of Arc he had seen before.
Although they are almost identical, there are still some subtle differences.
Moreover, their temperaments are completely different.
A person's temperament is the hardest thing to change; it takes years to change and cannot be faked by ordinary pretense.
Seeing this, Maren hesitated and continued, "Besides, think about it, if we were enemies, we could have killed you while you were unconscious, without even waking you up."
Siegfried nodded; that was indeed the case.
If the other party really wanted to harm him, there was no need to go through all this trouble.
So he put away his weapons.
Chapter 271 Siegfried: Shall we pass? Jeanne Alter Attacks
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
Siegfried, with a somewhat strange expression, uttered these three words that he would often say in this singularity from now on.
It's really baffling that he's the one who got hit, yet he has to apologize to the other person. But there's nothing he can do; he acted impulsively just now.
"It's good that you weren't hurt."
Marx and Engels nodded, thus ending the matter.
"Let me introduce ourselves. We are the Masters of Chaldea. We are here to repair this singularity."
"This lady over here is Joan of Arc, ... (omitted)."
After explaining his background and situation to Siegfried, Ma En looked at him and said, "You are Siegfried, right?"
Siegfried nodded: "Yes, I am the dragon slayer you are looking for."
"You don't seem to be in good condition."
"Yes, when I first arrived, I happened to encounter Jeanne Alter leading her minions in an attack on this place..."
Siegfried's account is roughly as follows: he stepped forward to protect Leon, and although he repelled Jeanne Alter and her gang, he was also seriously injured.
Not only that, but he is also suffering from multiple curses, and his injuries have not been able to heal, so he is currently unable to exert his full strength.
It is worth mentioning that he was originally going to die in battle, but Martha saved him and let him hide here.
Martha had already begun to betray them at that time and had been preparing for it all along.
This made Jeanne d'Arc, Mash, and the others admire her, thinking, "As expected of Martha, she really put a lot of thought into this."
"However, in that case, we must first remove the curse from Siegfried."
Princess Mary raised this crucial question.
Given Siegfried's current state, he is simply incapable of helping them fight against the evil dragon in Jeanne Alter's hands.
Siegfried said helplessly, "I'm really sorry, it's useless."
Then he frowned slightly and looked at Marne.
"Excuse me, have we met somewhere before?"
He hadn't looked closely before, but now that he'd calmed down and gotten to know him, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have seen Marx and Eng somewhere before, but he couldn't remember the details.
Maren was slightly taken aback, and he also remembered a certain action he had taken in the Fate/Zero world.
He did meet Siegfried once, but it was probably only for a very brief moment, and he basically forgot about it afterwards.
only……
Maren gave Siegfried a strange look, not expecting that the other party would have this memory.
Isn't it said that heroic spirits don't have the memory of their previous descent when they are summoned?
What's going on here?
Could it be because it was summoned by the restraining force?
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the two with curiosity, wondering what kind of relationship they had.
Before Marne could say anything, the Lion King had already answered for him.
"Yes, I did see him. I was there at the time, but it was only once."
She said that, without offering any further explanation.
After all, what Marne did back then was incredibly disrespectful to the summoned heroes, treating them like mere tools.
They had answered the Holy Grail's call and descended with their own expectations, but they never expected it to be a trap. They were used by the summoner and instantly returned to the Throne of Heroes.
It would be impossible for the heroic spirits at the time not to have any complaints after being tricked like this.
At that time, they just couldn't speak, otherwise, the four heroic spirits, including Siegfried, would probably have given Mar and Engels a friendly greeting to their families.
Well, Siegfried might not, but the other three will definitely complain.
"That's it, I understand."
Siegfried nodded, not paying too much attention.
Seeing this, Maren didn't pay much attention either, and turned to look at Gudako.
"What are your thoughts on lifting the curse from Siegfried?"
Faced with Marx and Engels' sudden question, Gudako was slightly taken aback at first, and then began to think.
But in the end, he shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
She knew too little about these things and had no idea how to solve them.
Ma En smiled slightly and said, "Actually, the method has already been prepared."
"The best way to remove a curse is through the power of God, and the most common power related to God in the magic industry is baptismal chanting."
As he said this, Marx and Engels looked at Joan of Arc again.
"And the ability to chant baptisms is something that almost all heroic spirits associated with Christianity use."
Everyone realized what was happening and immediately looked at Joan of Arc with expectant expressions.
Joan of Arc was a Christian saint, so naturally she could also use the ability to chant baptismal songs.
Joan of Arc nodded: "I can indeed use the power of baptismal chants now, but I have never used them before, so I cannot guarantee how effective they will be."
She didn't actually know how to chant baptismal hymns or anything like that.
She was originally just a country girl who, although a Christian, was not a member of the church.
Baptismal chanting is something that is only allowed to be learned within the church, so she doesn't know it.
However, she gained this ability after becoming a Heroic Spirit.
It is the power boost that one gains after becoming a Heroic Spirit, based on legends.
She was later revered as a saint, and thus gained the ability to chant baptismal songs.
However, after gaining this ability, she never had the chance to try it out, so she didn't know if she could do it well.
"It's okay, let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we'll figure something out."
Joan of Arc nodded upon hearing this, preparing to step forward and remove the curse from Siegfried.
And just then.
Dudu~!
An emergency call came from Chaldea.
Gudako quickly answered the call, only to hear Roman shouting anxiously, "A massive amount of magical energy has appeared! There are also numerous biological reactions! Servants are reacting! They're rapidly approaching!"
"It seems the enemy has come out in full force! Be careful!"
His words startled everyone present, and Joan of Arc stopped in her tracks.
At that moment, Siegfried also sensed something and looked up in a certain direction.
"It's the aura of a dragon."
Then the other Servants also sensed the energy fluctuations of the rapidly approaching Servants.
"Odosan."
