"Seriously, they actually wasted my time on such trivial matters..."
Then Liu Hongshan and Liu Feng went to the place where artificial humans were being cultivated, and soon found the protagonist emerging from one of the artificial humans...
Ever since——
I, Zig, am GG!
After forcing that halo to its death, Liu Hongshan and Liu Feng felt much more relaxed and the Holy Grail War seemed more secure. With Sieg dead, at least their Saber could stay online in the early game, instead of exchanging first blood with the opposing Berserker Spartacus. Although with the intervention of the Reincarnator, whether Spartacus would give up first blood was another matter, but they needed to stabilize themselves first.
On the other hand, a city in Romania—
The refined middle-aged men, namely Luo Shuyuan and the shrewd and cunning Lao Li, walked side by side.
"If I'm not mistaken, Liu Hongshan, that boorish guy who likes to play the intellectual, is on the black side."
"Boss, actually, I think Liu Hongshan is quite insightful," Old Li said honestly after a moment's hesitation.
Luo Shuyuan shook his head slightly. "He does have some brains, but unfortunately he often thinks he's too clever for his own good. I bet when he was assigned to the Black faction, his first thought was that the God of War was pleased with himself for matching the strong and weak, and that he thought the Heroic Spirit he drew was one of the stronger ones among us, right?"
"Unfortunately, he only has a superficial understanding of the rules of the Supreme God."
Luo Shuyuan sneered, "If even the King of Heroes is considered weak, then how many powerful heroes are there among the Heroic Spirits?"
Yes, what Luo Shuyuan loaded was the template of the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh!
Meanwhile, somewhere not far from this city, Li Wei and Joan of Arc's rendezvous also began...
PS:
PSA: I don't know if I'll be able to finish watching the anime tomorrow. If I do, I'll resume double updates. These past few nights I've either been going back to my hometown or catching up on anime...
Speaking of which, while watching the anime, I found Jeanne d'Arc to be incredibly beautiful~
Chapter 276 Joan of Arc: Li Wei, you shameless bastard!
"Li Wei, look! There are local specialties here!" Joan of Arc seemed very happy as she led the way ahead of Li Wei. The cities of Romania gave people the feeling that the buildings had stepped out of a Western painting, and were very exotic.
"What's wrong, Li Wei? You seem to have some...trouble?" Joan said, her face flushing slightly. It wasn't shyness, but rather a feeling of embarrassment or even shame. However, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Really, Li Wei, why are you acting like a child?"
Joan of Arc strode back to Li Wei in a few steps, annoyed, and tore off the note that was stuck to Li Wei's forehead. The note read, "I am looking up at the sky with a melancholy gaze, at what angle you know."
"No way, you could tell I'm troubled right now?" Li Wei exclaimed in shock. "Jeanne, I never expected we'd hit it off so well. How long has it been, and you know me so well!"
"Maybe this is what they call 'couples looking alike'?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Joan of Arc looked around at the people around her, somewhat at a loss. "To say such bold things in public like this."
"Besides, you've practically plastered your worries on your head, isn't that obvious to everyone?" Joan of Arc retorted.
"Yes, it's something everyone can see, but only you care about me," Li Wei sighed softly.
"..."
"What's wrong?" Li Wei asked curiously when he saw Joan of Arc deep in thought.
"Li Wei, what I want to tell you is, next time you say something like that, could you throw away that book you're holding, 'The Scumbag's Guide to Picking Up Girls'?"
“It’s really bothersome for me to see you reading your lines so openly.” Joan of Arc looked at Li Wei speechlessly, then suddenly opened a book and said something that would normally be enough to move many people.
"Really?" Li Wei scratched his head and said, "There's a saying in the East: 'Deep affection is fleeting, only the heavenly path wins hearts.' I think I can give it a try."
Joan chuckled, covering her pink lips slightly with her right hand, and said, "Li Wei, although I don't really understand matters between men and women, I think that girls won't be happy with you making it so obvious."
"Alright, Li Wei, after saying all this, what exactly is bothering you?"
Li Wei sighed deeply, a look of grief appearing on his face.
"Haven't you noticed? Ever since we came to the city and started walking together, people around us often give me complicated looks."
Joan of Arc thought about it and realized that Li Wei was right, except that most of those people were men.
"Don't you think this is them rejecting me?"
"How...how could that be!" Joan of Arc raised her voice to show her firm attitude: "Although we just met, I believe that someone as outstanding as Li Wei could not possibly be disliked by others!"
"At least... I don't dislike you at all!"
As if to comfort her, Joan of Arc hesitated for a moment, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Ah, no, but don't misunderstand, when I said I didn't dislike it, I didn't mean you should do that."
Actually, Joan of Arc's blush wasn't because she was shy, but more because of the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere that Li Wei had created, which made her want to explain herself.
In her mind, Li Wei is now seen more as a friend who has experienced similar things, much like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
If it weren't for the influence of the original plot, would such a melodramatic plot of a hero falling for someone else have occurred?
“Joan of Arc, you don’t need to comfort me. I understand perfectly well, because this is what I’ve been used to since I was a child.”
Seemingly affected by the grief in Li Wei's tone, Joan of Arc felt a pang of heartache.
"Li Wei, I..."
"Yes, I'm used to it..."
"I'm used to it. I often feel out of place with others because I'm too handsome."
"..."
"Li Wei, I want to hit you, you know that?"
"So you admit my looks are stunning?" Li Wei said matter-of-factly.
"Pah!" Joan of Arc stuck out her tongue angrily. "Shameless!"
"But I really am good-looking." Li Wei shrugged helplessly.
"Where exactly are you...?"
Joan of Arc was about to retort, but when she looked at Li Wei's face and wanted to say something, she found that her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and the words she was about to say were choked up.
Because she discovered that, upon closer inspection, Li Wei was actually incredibly handsome!
“Right?” Li Wei said when he saw that Joan of Arc was silent.
Joan of Arc turned her head away sullenly. "Yes, yes, you win because you're shameless."
Li Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Has your style suddenly changed?! I don't think you're the type to say things like that!?"
"You're the one who's lost it. Maybe it's because I've been hanging out with you these past few days, and I haven't realized it..."
Joan of Arc paused here, realizing that in just a few days, she seemed to have been influenced by this man named Li Wei.
"Li Wei, why are you staring at me? Is there something dirty on my face?" Joan of Arc felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
"Hmm... how about we go buy some clothes?" Li Wei suggested.
"Huh? Why so suddenly?" Joan of Arc was taken aback.
"I just remembered what my apprentice told me: pretty girls always need to have several outfits," Li Wei said casually.
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of such rare beauty?"
"Really, Li Wei, you didn't just write down what the little notebook said this time, did you?" Jeanne asked suspiciously.
"What's wrong?"
“Because this level of language doesn’t sound like something you would say,” Joan of Arc chuckled.
"..."
"You know what, Joan of Arc, I want to pin you against the wall right now."
"Tch, don't give me that." Joan ignored Li Wei's words and walked ahead to lead the way. "I remember there was a clothing store on the way here. Let's go take a look."
"By the way, Li Wei, you have apprentices too?" Jeanne asked curiously.
"Speaking of which, since you have the characteristics of a heroic spirit, then Li Wei, what is your real name? Even if I search my memory to the fullest extent, I can't find any legendary hero whose image matches yours."
“Of course, it’s okay if you don’t want to tell me. After all, real names are quite important,” Joan of Arc said, adding.
"But when you mentioned having apprentices, I became even more curious, and I couldn't help but ask."
"Well, it's really not a big deal." Li Wei waved his hand dismissively. "I wouldn't mind telling you at all."
"Is that right?"
"Ah."
Hearing Li Wei's affirmative tone, Jeanne felt inexplicably a little happy.
Why is that?
she thought to herself.
"If I had to talk about the legends surrounding me, it can actually be traced back to..." Li Wei said slowly.
PS:
PAS: It feels too unrealistic to portray the mysterious ways of winning over Jeanne d'Arc and Asas in the original work. I hope it's more realistic...
Chapter 277 Discussing Marriage with Joan of Arc?
"My legend can be traced back to a very long time ago, and can even be heard in many dimensions." Li Wei seemed to be recalling something.
“I remember Joan of Arc, you were a believer, weren’t you?” Li Wei asked.
Joan of Arc nodded. “Yes, the origin of my biography begins with God’s revelation to me.”
"Then... do you believe in miracles?" Li Wei suddenly asked, something that seemed unrelated.
“Of course,” Joan of Arc said decisively. “In my opinion, miracles are sometimes a gift from God. Of course, this is also inseparable from human will.”
"I believe in miracles, I believe in the Lord."
“Hmm… although it might not be the best way to put it, but…” Li Wei said thoughtfully, “In some places, many people are willing to call me the Lord of Miracles.”
"It's probably because when I'm bored, I sometimes manifest certain things in certain places, and sometimes when I feel like it, I will bestow certain things."
"Over time, those who had received my miraculous blessings spontaneously became my followers, established their own sects, and spread their faith."
“In some places, if people are devout enough when they pray for divine revelation, they sometimes receive a response from the Gate of Truth that I hold. After receiving the response, they often call it divine guidance.”
"Actually, I can't say for sure how many worlds my deeds have left behind, or how many legends they have."
"Often, because of my silly actions, some local deities would be unhappy that I was stealing their faith, even though that faith was of no use to me."
Li Wei shrugged. "But those people are my believers after all. Since those gods can't stand me, they will naturally cause trouble for my believers, either secretly or openly, and there have even been cases of open massacres."
"Unfortunately, even gods who have lived for a long time are mostly arrogant and overestimating themselves." Li Wei spread his hands. "I remember there were probably several dozen gods who died because I glared at them back then."
"Therefore, in their remaining religious beliefs, there are records of God being seriously injured and falling into a coma while fighting against the devil, or God dying together with the devil to save mankind, and so on."
"Godslayer, devil, demon, ruler of despair, primal evil..."
"That's what the remnants of those fallen gods call me."
"besides……"
"That's enough, Li Wei."
As Joan of Arc listened, her brows furrowed more and more, until she finally couldn't help but interrupt.
"You mean you are a god? Unfortunately, the Holy Grail War cannot summon gods."
"Even if you summon it, it will only be from before you became a god."
Joan of Arc said righteously, "But from what you're saying, I can tell that you're saying that your current state is that of a god?"
“The Holy Grail War will not allow your violations to exist.” Jeanne’s brows slowly relaxed: “Li Wei, you should stop impersonating gods, not to mention those arrogant words. Perhaps you don’t have a god you believe in, but this is a great disrespect to them.”
Joan of Arc looked very unhappy.
Originally, Li Wei had even more unbelievable things to say, but after being interrupted by Joan of Arc, he wouldn't force himself to continue.
Actually, there was something he wanted to say...
"It seems that the Lord you believe in in this world is me."
However, after thinking about it, he decided to swallow it down. To be honest, his current state was actually similar to being demoted and summoned.
