He was also a person of this era, and later he would meet Giles de Rais. He gave Giles the 'Snail City Text', which is why Giles was so crazy and why he was suited to the role of Caster.
It can be said that François Plelatti was also one of the indirect culprits behind this singularity.
Without him, Gilles wouldn't have the Black Marshal state, and he wouldn't have created Jeanne Alter in this singularity to seek revenge on Flamboyant.
Moreover, the diary now states that Marshal Black went out to find him!
This is terrible!
Even a minor 'Snail Annihilation City Text' can summon such a huge sea demon.
If the Black Marshal really joins forces with François, what the hell would happen?!
Ma En quickly turned on the communication on the wristband terminal.
"Marne? I didn't expect you to contact us on your own initiative. Did you discover something?"
Roman's image was projected, and he said with some surprise.
The tiny Olga Marie perched on his head couldn't help but frown: "Marne, where are you? Weren't you supposed to be scouting enemy positions?"
"Let's not talk about that now, let's take a look at this."
Instead of explaining immediately, Maren opened the diary and showed it to the two of them.
"this is?"
"The diary of the Holy Grail holder, Giles, focuses on the name François. Go and check the information in my database."
"What the heck! The translator of the Annihilation City Texts!? Isn't that an extremely dangerous person!?"
The two retrieved the information as instructed, and upon reading the description, they immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.
The name of the Luoyan City Tome is well-known even in the modern magic industry. As an evil book that records the knowledge of the ancient evil gods, it is listed as a forbidden magic book.
This is an extremely dangerous taboo, as possessing even a single translation would result in being wanted by the Magic Association.
It's not the kind of wanted list like a 'Sealed Designation'. A 'Sealed Designation' is at least considered useful to the magic industry and needs to be preserved as a 'specimen'.
The wanted notice issued by the Luoyan City cult is simply a pursuit to eliminate beings who are considered to be something that should not exist in the world.
This clearly demonstrates just how dangerous it was.
François, who translated the Lacquerware, was undoubtedly a dangerous man among dangerous men.
If someone like that were to unite with Gilles, the holder of the Holy Grail, their combined power, along with the Holy Grail, would be enough to destroy the world—it wouldn't be an exaggeration at all.
Although Marne had previously used a deceptive tactic when talking to Jeanne Alter, saying that repairing the singularity was actually destroying the singularity's small world.
But that was ultimately a benign destruction that led to a new beginning, if the lesions were eliminated.
However, by utilizing the destruction of the Holy Grail, this singularity was pushed to an irreversible point of destruction.
It's fair to say that if this really happens...
Even if the subsequent singularities are repaired, it won't make much difference.
From this singularity, the human order after the Hundred Years' War will be completely distorted.
"Marne, we must stop this from happening! Find Giles as soon as possible! We can't let him run wild!"
Olga Marie was also sweating profusely with anxiety and quickly said to Marne.
"Okay, I'm going to find him. You guys go and inform Mashu and the others."
Ma497 nodded seriously, then hung up the communication and hurriedly left the magic workshop.
Then, by scanning the space, they located Jeanne Alter and teleported directly to her location.
"Whoa! How did you suddenly appear? You scared me!"
Black Jeanne, who was engrossed in reading, was startled by Maru's words. Her pretty face flushed red, and she quickly hid the book behind her back.
“Gilth is going crazy, I have to stop him, come with me.”
Marne didn't notice Jeanne Alter's actions. He briefly explained the situation, then grabbed Jeanne Alter's hand and teleported her to the parking area outside the castle.
However, instead of boarding the vehicle, they rebuilt another mode of transportation.
A Vimalakirti.
Airships are much faster than cars, can ignore obstacles, and have a better field of vision when looking for people from the air.
With Jeanne Alter on board the flying boat, Marne directly controlled Vimaya to soar into the sky.
Then Jeanne Alter asked, "You should know which direction Giles went, right? Tell me quickly, or it might be dangerous if we're too late."
Black Jeanne was still in a daze, looking down at the hand that was being held by Ma En, her pretty face flushed, her mind a complete mess, and she subconsciously replied, "I remember it was in that direction."
As she spoke, she pointed Marne in a direction.
Upon seeing this, Marne controlled Vimaya to fly over.
Chapter 287 The Situation of the Main Force, Regrouping, and Jeanne Alter's 'Understanding'
Marne and Eng began searching for the whereabouts of the Black Marshal.
Gudako and the others also received the message relayed by Chaldea.
Upon learning the seriousness of the matter, there was an uproar.
"Such a thing is happening?! No, we have to stop him!"
After being shocked, Gudako's first reaction was to help and stop the Black Marshal from doing anything crazy.
"You've got too many sacks of dirt! Don't be so impulsive, kid."
Mashu quickly stopped her.
“That’s right. It’s precisely in times like these that we should remain calm and composed. Besides, where are you going to find anyone? Let’s hear what the director has to say first.”
Hinako Akuta nodded, reassuring Gudako and showing no sign of being in a hurry.
Yes, she really isn't in a hurry.
It's not that she didn't care about the restoration of human reason, but rather that she trusted Marx and Engels very much.
She knew that Ma En's strength was not limited to what he had shown so far. In fact, Ma En was still hiding most of his strength, and what he had shown now was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
The basis for this speculation is that Marne has never used his almost omnipotent magic, 'Imagination Construction,' in battle.
Therefore, knowing that Marne had already taken action, Hinako Akuta was not worried about this so-called crisis at all; she believed that Marne would definitely have a way to solve it.
Upon hearing this, Gudako gradually calmed down.
Yes, there's no use in her being anxious now, she hasn't even figured out the situation yet.
So she looked again at Olga Marie on the communication projection.
Olga Marie didn't delay and continued, "Right now, Marne is trying his best to find Giles's whereabouts, but it's unlikely to be successful in the short term."
"After analysis and decision-making by the Chaldea advisors, adjustments have been made to your group's next actions."
"Next, you will be divided into groups to participate in Giles's search mission..."
Olga Marie rattled off a bunch of precautions, basically saying that they should split into three groups, one searching for Black Marshal's trail.
At the same time, the search for saints and lone Servants must continue.
Since we don't know what the enemy will do, it's natural to want to gather as many people as possible.
The group assignments are as follows: Hinako Akuta, Lanling Wang, and Mozart form one group; Gudako, Mashu, Jeanne d'Arc, and Siegfried form another group; and the two King Arthurs and Princess Mary form yet another group.
The group consisting of Gudako was formed primarily to remove the curse from Segway and because the group itself was weak.
Mozart initially had strong objections to this arrangement, but under Princess Marie's suppression and the fact that the subsequent actions were actually coordinated and not too far apart to facilitate mutual support, he accepted the arrangement.
Of the three groups, King Arthur's group is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of combat power. Princess Mary was placed in this group to facilitate support for the other two groups.
Because the three groups are conducting a joint search, which is done horizontally side by side, they are one of the groups.
Princess Mary is a Rider, highly mobile, and can arrive quickly to support the other two groups.
The two King Arthurs are also strong enough to fight, so it doesn't matter if Princess Mary leaves the group at any time.
With this arrangement, the three groups spread out in a wide fan shape, and rejoined the mission.
During this period, the communication devices installed on the vehicles constructed by Marx and Engels were used as a means of communication and were kept in constant contact.
It must be said that this method has a significant effect, improving search efficiency by more than two times.
Although they failed to find Giles's whereabouts, they quickly found the 'Saint's' trail.
In Thiers, Mozart, guided by the 'terrifying sounds' he heard, led Hinako Akuta and Lanling Wang to find Camilla in her youth, Elizabeth the dragon girl, and another dragon girl, Kiyohime.
After some effort (fighting), the two quarreling people calmed down, and they learned about the "Saint" Saint George from them.
Fortunately, Gudako's group happened to be nearby, and after a search, they found Teacher Qiao without any problems.
During this time, they encountered the out-of-control Vlad III massacring civilians, but with the help of Joan of Arc, Mash, and Siegfried who successfully lifted the curse, and with the assistance of Saint George, they easily defeated him and sent him back to the Throne of Heroes.
After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Saint George and the two dragon girls joined the two teams. Suddenly, the two teams that were originally weaker seemed to have a fighting strength that surpassed that of the King Arthur team in the central area.
Before Chaldea could realize this and make adjustments, King Arthur's team encountered the enemy.
It was Sanson, the lone man who had executed Princess Mary.
However, Sanson, who should have been the natural enemy of Princess Mary, appeared at this time, which was undeniably a stroke of bad luck for him.
Before he could even say a few words, he was mercilessly chopped down with a curry stick by the ruthless and taciturn Black Hair, instantly reduced to ashes.
Seeing that Black Hair was so powerful, Chaldea realized they didn't need any reinforcements and stopped interfering.
While the main force here was making great strides, things were also getting very exciting on Marx and Engels' side.
However, it wasn't a passionate affair, but a different kind of passion.
Above Vimaya, Marne sat on the throne, while Jeanne Alter sat on his lap, her pretty face flushed and her head bowed like an ostrich.
What exactly happened?
The story goes back to shortly after Marne and Engels departed from their base in Orleans.
Seeing that Ma En was controlling Vimaya's flight while scanning the area below with his 'clairvoyance' to search for Marshal Black, Jeanne d'Arc (Black) hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Well, shouldn't you let go a little longer?"
Yes, ever since they entered the castle, Marne had been holding her hand tightly, which made Jeanne Alter both happy and uncomfortable.
