Eighth Crown

No matter what kind of competition it is in, the referee should have a detached position.

Anyone who contradicts the referee should be punished according to the degree, so as to show the majesty of the referee, let the referee's judgment have enough weight, and the judgment made by the referee is enough to convince the public.

If the referee doesn't even care about being bumped by the players, then her dignity as a referee has been demolished. If anyone dares to bully her, her ruling itself will have no strength at all. Who will listen to her?

Such an adjudicator is not so much a referee, but rather a third party outside the black and red.

"Do you believe it or not, if you don't pay any attention to the fact that the Red Lancer is in front of you, then the Red side will definitely come to trouble you one after another in the future?"

Liu Xia looked at the blonde girl in front of her and said coldly, "Your real name is Jeanne, right? I recognize your achievements in saving the country, but do you really have experience as a referee?"

Liu Xia has never been a referee, but he at least knows what a referee should be like.

But this saint... she may indeed have the heart to treat both black and red fairly, but she probably doesn't even know what a real referee should look like.

After all, they are ancient people. Even if they have the common sense given by the Great Holy Grail, they understand their responsibilities, but their thinking is limited, and their thinking is ultimately different from modern people.

Besides, is a person like the saint who loves and selfless really suitable to be a selfless judge?

Did the Great Holy Grail really choose the wrong person?

"This... this..."

Under Liu Xia's repeated inquiries, even Joan of Arc couldn't help being stunned, and there was a bit of agitation in her mouth, and her delicate face, which seemed to have no flaws, could not help but blushed slightly, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Even she had to admit that what Liu Xia said really made sense.

Her move of not intervening in the battle before, although it seemed fair, was actually picking up the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon, picking up the fairness in front of her, but discarding the greater fairness.

If the majesty of the referee cannot be maintained, then even if the battle at hand is fair, what fairness is there for the entire Holy Grail War?

Compared with the fairness of a mere battle, perhaps the majesty of the adjudicator is the guarantee of real fairness?

"...you're right."

Joan of Arc lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and finally had to admit it, took a deep breath, then discarded the hesitation and slight unwillingness in her heart, and sincerely apologized to Liu Xia.

"In this matter, I may have really not handled it well. I'm sorry, I will find a way to remedy it."

Even so, she always felt a little weird in her heart.

She is clearly the Ruler, the arbiter selected by the Great Holy Grail, why should she bow her head to Saber, one of the contestants, and admit that she did not do well?

For a time, Joan of Arc's heart became extremely complicated as if she had knocked over the bottle of five flavors.

"You don't need to apologize to me, after all, I'm not your master."

Liu Xia shook her head, but did not accept Joan's apology, and then the conversation changed, and she started talking about business without the slightest foreshadowing.

"Although Black's order is for me to win over you, this matter itself still depends on your thoughts... I'm going to go to the Red Lancer next, what are your plans?"

Karna has just been severely injured by him, and there is absolutely no way to heal it in a short time.

If this is the case, then this good opportunity cannot be missed. Always try to kill him and let him retire from now on. After all, he is indeed a strong enemy, and the sooner he quits, the better for Black.

"I'm not going to favor black or red."

Joan of Arc gave the answer without much hesitation. Although she did learn from Liu Xia, this was not the reason for her preference.

Rather, it was because she thought Liu Xia's words were reasonable that she strengthened her determination to maintain fairness.

"However, I'm going to find the master of the Red Lancer. I have to find out why he planned to kill me."

Jeanne turned to speak again, but she was discouraged and sighed softly.

"However, although I have the privilege to know Lancer's location, I don't know where his Master is... It might be difficult to find his Master."

The Ruler class has many privileges.

In addition to being able to see through the Servant's real name, he can also perceive the Servant's location.

As long as the Servant is within ten kilometers of her, she can accurately know where the other party is, and even Assassin's breath blocking can't hide it from her.

In other words, as long as she walks around Tuliphas, the battlefield, she will definitely be able to find the Red Lancer, but she cannot directly find the location of the Red Lancer Master.

After all, if the opposite Master is alert and worried that someone will come to the door, for the sake of safety, he may be more inclined to hide, and he may not stay with his Servant - a Servant who has been severely injured may not be able to protect Live in your own safety.

"I can find it."

Liu Xia raised her brows slightly, then raised her finger and pointed at her own eyes, "My magic eye is the most advanced future vision, and I can achieve whatever results I want. It's easy to find the master and servant of the red Lancer."

"If you want, we can act together in dealing with the red Lancer."

Jeanne was suddenly stunned.

Indeed, she can also find the skill [Future Vision] from Liu Xia's ability value panel, and this skill actually contains a god-level magic eye, which really startled her.

Because this means that he didn't use all his strength in the battle with the Red Lancer just now, otherwise, even the golden armor that the gods can't destroy might not be able to keep Karna.

"I know, then let me use the power of your magic eye, but I won't return the gift."

Joan of Arc agreed very calmly, "Also, I won't take the initiative to become an enemy of the Red Fang without confirming that the Red Fang's Master has a clear hostility towards me, right?"

"make a deal."

Lucia nodded indifferently.

Being able to act with Ruler is a deterrent in itself, even if she won't act with him, her identity itself has special value.

"Then I'll pack my luggage first... ah."

Joan of Arc just turned around, and then the whole person could not help but froze, looking at the suitcase in front of him, his face showed a tired look.

"Why did this happen again..."

Lucia looked at it in response.

Joan of Arc's suitcase has been broken at an unknown time. All kinds of clothes and sundries are scattered on the soil floor, and many things show signs of being scorched, which should be from Karna before. Caused by the first wave of raids.

Among them, there are even private clothes such as stockings and underwear, and it seems that they cannot be worn... The stockings are all black, while the underwear is a set of white and a set of pink.

"Please don't look!"

After noticing Liu Xia's gaze, Joan of Arc suddenly came to her senses, with a slightly embarrassed blush on her face, she immediately cast an oppressive look at Liu Xia.

The fingers of her hands were raised at some point, as if she was going to burst Liu Xia's eyes.
