Chapter 77: Oh no, I've become an old mentor!
You step forward and grasp the hilt. At this moment, you feel the surrounding scene change instantly. You immediately turn back to look in the direction of the person who spoke to you. There, you see a handsome man looking at you with a smile. He steps forward, pats your head, and says to you gently,
"Jeanne, remember the name of this sword. It is the Sword of Saint Catherine, the legendary weapon of Saint Catherine. Now it is yours, and you will become the new Saint."
After the man finishes speaking, you wake up from your dream instantly. And after you wake up, you suddenly discover that in your hand, the Sword of Saint Catherine is emitting a bright light under the sun!
"Me! A Saint!" Jeanne looks at this scene in shock. Her? Become a Saint? Did the Lord get something wrong?
She is just an ordinary farm girl who doesn't even know many big words; how could she be a Saint?
At the same time, in the Einzbern castle in Fuyuki City, Lin Ye also sighed helplessly.
"What is this! How did I become a 'pocket mentor'? And why do I have to be the one to give Jeanne the Sword of Saint Catherine? What about Archangel Michael? And why did I have to go to the Saint Catherine Church in Fierbois to get it?"
Lin Ye couldn't help but complain. Knowing that this was a linked simulation, Lin Ye's mindset inevitably changed.
Moreover, at the beginning of this simulation, Lin Ye encountered two options.
Please choose your identity for this simulation:
Option 1: Become the book spirit of the Prelati's Spellbook.
Option 2: Become the sword spirit of the Sword of Saint Catherine.
Good heavens, are we not even being human in this simulation? Then what is there to hesitate about between these two options? I don't like eating squid, so I choose the Sword of Saint Catherine.
But the problem now is? Where did Jeanne's God go?
Legend has it that Saint Joan of Arc received revelations from God, transforming from an ignorant girl into an all-powerful person capable of fighting, debating, and raising funds.
Now, let me ask? Where is God?
"Wait! 15th century!"
Lin Ye suddenly realized! The 15th century! He doesn't know about Earth's history, but in Moon history, this time was long past the Twilight of the Gods!
The gods were either dead, had fled, or were hiding in the Sea of Stars. Mystery had almost disappeared. Who gave Jeanne the revelation?
"Could it be... me?"
Am I Jeanne's God? That sounds pretty cool.
"It's nothing. Back in Uruk, I often sent dreams to Gilgamesh. It's fine, I'm familiar with this business."
Lin Ye expressed his confidence in training Jeanne into an excellent Saint who saves the country!
On the other side, Jeanne had already started looking at what would happen next. She couldn't wait to see how she would become a Saint.
You walk toward the village holding the Sword of Saint Catherine. However, you have only walked halfway when you hear the sound of horses' hooves!
You see flames reaching the sky spreading through the village. You rush over immediately. The moment you approach the village, you see countless British soldiers rushing in!
Your village is about to be reduced to ruins under their iron hooves!
"No!"
Jeanne immediately wants to run out to tell everyone to run quickly, and the next second, she sees the scene in her mind.
These British soldiers notice you. They rush toward you. You want to dodge but cannot outrun their horses. At this moment, you suddenly feel the sword in your hand shaking violently!
Immediately after, you hear a familiar voice.
"Lesson one: Swordsmanship. Feel it carefully."
The next second, you find a strange power pouring into your body. Following that, your body suddenly moves on its own!
Facing the rushing soldiers, your body is wrapped in a strange magic, and then you rush into the crowd with the Sword of Catherine, hacking and slashing. Under your sword, countless soldiers fall to the ground.
"Witch! It's a witch! Kill her! Kill her quickly!"
The leading British general shouts. Afterward, countless muskets are aimed at your body. But the next second, you feel the space in front of you distort. Those bullets aimed at you all deviate from their trajectory, and the bodies of those British soldiers all twist in a bizarre way and fall to the ground.
Looking at this situation that exceeds common sense, the leading British general asks in terror,
"Witch! Who exactly are you!!!"
Facing the panicked general, you remember the title the man in your dream called you, so you say faintly,
"I am not a witch. I am Jeanne d'Arc. You can also call me by my new name: Saint Joan of Arc!"
"Joan of Arc?"
Jeanne mutters to herself. Is this her name? It does sound quite nice.
Decided. From now on, she will change her name to Joan of Arc.
Jeanne's parents...
Those British soldiers were driven away by you. On this day, your name began to spread throughout the country. More and more people began to call you the Saint who saves the country!
Day 2: In your dream, you learned the man's name: Lin Ye.
You start learning various things from Lin Ye. You feel you are learning very quickly, but Lin Ye is always muttering to himself,
"If it were Hundred Faces, she would have learned this long ago."
You don't understand.
Month 1: You follow Lin Ye to learn swordsmanship... slight success.
Month 7: You follow Lin Ye to learn military strategy... slight success.
Month 10: You follow Lin Ye to learn rhetoric... slight success.
"You don't know until you compare. The learning ability of Hundred Faces back then was truly monstrous. And there was the Zealot, who was even more monstrous than Hundred Faces. If she hadn't been so monstrous, I wouldn't have mistaken the person."
Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh at this point. At the same time, he had to thank Hundred Faces for bringing him the "Master of Encyclopedia." This thing is truly practical.
However, one thing is worth mentioning: Jeanne also has her own strengths. For example, her practical ability is very strong.
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but when memorizing the same formula, some people can score 95, while others can only score 59. Clearly, Jeanne is the one who can score 95, and Lin Ye... that's not important!
Year 2, January: On this day, feeling that her studies have had slight success, Jeanne finally decides that she wants to seek an audience with the current master of the country! Prince Charles VII!
And at the same time, in another part of the country, a young and handsome (Gilles is actually quite handsome when he's normal) marshal also hears the voice in his mind. The simulation belonging to him has also begun!
