There are many things in this world that even though we know we shouldn't do them, we still have to do them.
Just like there are many times, even if it is harsh conditions, you have to accept them.
So after Jin Yu and Leonard gritted their teeth for a while, they agreed to Xu Tu's conditions.
"Actually, I have been very kind." When the two parties signed the agreement, Xu Tu said with a smile, "The King's Sword is a symbol of Britain, just like the jade seal of our country, it is a national treasure, and a national treasure should be used with a
In exchange for the land of the country..."
"Believe it or not, I will chop you to death!" Jin Yu reached out and drew his sword, and the sword struck the super black-hearted ghost like lightning, but Leonard held him back with all his strength, and somehow missed the mark.
"Okay, I admit that only the scabbard is left, and it may be slightly depreciated." Xu Tu didn't care about the sword wind that almost hit him, and still smiled, "So - Cheng Peng, Heshi Bi didn't exist back then.
How much is it worth when it is made into a jade seal?"
"King Zhao of Qin once promised to exchange fifteen cities for He's Bi, which is where the term 'priceless' comes from." Cheng Peng replied.
Xu Tu nodded and looked at Jin Yu and Leonard: "Look, my price is not high."
"Fuck you!" Jin Yu was hugged by Leonard and couldn't do anything, so he could only yell, "You're just trying to scare foreigners like Leo! I'm also Chinese, and I've also taken a damn classical Chinese course!
Do you think I don’t know about ‘returning the jade to Zhao once it’s completed’? King Qin Zhao has no intention of exchanging the city for jade!”
"That's why I gave you a discount. You only need one city."
"Forget it, Captain, let's bear with it!" Leonard actually understood Chinese culture quite well and quickly advised, "Didn't you say it before, this is called 'Others are knives and we are fish, stretch your head and shrink'
It's a knife on the head, just bear with it, my king's business is more important!"
So Jin Yu finally endured it, even though he was so angry when he was signing that he broke three signature pens - the contract and the signature pens were both goods in the system mall, and each was worth something.
After settling this matter, Jin Yu impatiently asked Cheng Peng to return the scabbard, while Leonard discussed with Xu Tu the specific issues regarding the handover of the city.
"Wait a moment." Cheng Peng said with a smile, "King Arthur hasn't started fighting yet, right?"
"Rescuing people is like putting out fires, why are you wasting your time!"
"Soon." Cheng Peng said, closing his eyes, holding down the scabbard with one hand, and started using the "Fetion Letter" function.
"Fetion Message" is a very interesting auxiliary function. Players can save a video as a video attachment into a certain piece of equipment. Then as long as the designated person gets the piece of equipment, they will receive the message "You have received a video message."
"SMS, do you want to play?" notification. After confirming the playback, you can directly see the video as if you were having a face-to-face conversation.
This function may feel a little like a gimmick for players, but it is very practical for players and NPCs - because NPCs cannot chat with players across the world, Fetion text is the only reliable method of communication.
means.
It didn't take long for Cheng Peng to finish the video and hand the scabbard to Jin Yu.
"What did you do?" Jin Yu asked suspiciously as he carefully inspected the treasure that he finally got back.
"Nothing, just leaving a message for King Arthur."
"Hey! Don't mess around!"
"Do you think I am you?"
These words made Jin Yu speechless, and he angrily opened the door to the star world and left.
After a while, Leonard also negotiated terms with Xu Tu and left.
"What on earth did you say?" Xu Tu asked while packing up the documents.
Cheng Peng smiled: "I'm just giving some advice to King Arthur. I think that guy's actions are too extreme. It's not okay if I don't give him some advice."
"Will he listen to advice?"
"God knows." Cheng Peng said irresponsibly, "Anyway, I have good intentions - by the way, how did you think of asking them to give them a city in exchange?"
"This is out of practical necessity." Xu Tu explained, "Currently, you have three main problems. The first is the Kirin Fire Poison; the second is the arm; the third is the lack of weapons; and the last is the lack of reliable logistics."
"I know you are very capable of fighting, and you can be said to be wise and brave, but after all, you are only one person. Even if you include friends like us, you are still alone - so I have been thinking about how to find reliable logistics for you.
Assure."
"So you opened your mouth like a lion and asked them for a city? It's a shame they were willing to give it up..."
"You are a swordsman and I am a fish, so they can't help but refuse to agree." Xu Tu said with a smile, "Actually, this is a good thing for them - there are more than 200 cities in the world of Invincible Heroes, and I will exchange one of them for you.
Isn’t the friendship of super masters very worthwhile?”
"What kind of friendship is this?"
"You can't say that - now that you have obtained this city, you owe them a favor. When they encounter trouble in the future, they will only ask you for help. Are you embarrassed to refuse?"
Cheng Peng shook his head.
"Moreover, if they are disadvantaged in fighting in the world of heroes in the future, will you rush to join the war in order to save your city?"
Cheng Peng nodded.
"So, they didn't lose any money on this business."
Cheng Peng frowned - he subconsciously felt that what Xu Tu said was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
He is a very tolerant person. Since he can't figure out the problem, he simply ignores it and talks about another topic.
"By the way, about that weapon - what equipment are you going to ask them to help with?"
Xu Tu smiled and shook his head, and said frankly: "I'm not familiar with equipment, but since it's rare for a fat sheep to come to your door, wouldn't it be a waste not to kill it?"
"Then what weapon do you think is better?"
"Actually, I really don't know much about the famous guns...the divine gun Gangnir, the magic gun Gayaberg...and even the dragon-slaying gun. I just talked about it. I guess they won't be able to bring it out.
of."
Thinking of the scene where Jin Yu jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on just now when he heard these names, Cheng Peng couldn't help but laugh.
"You are really asking for an exorbitant price. Those equipments are basically ultimate weapons in the game, or they only appear in worlds with high star levels. It is impossible to obtain them with the current player's strength - compared with them, they are just a piece of equipment.
A city is really nothing."
"Then do you have any good ideas?"
Cheng Peng thought for a while and sighed.
The famous guns that can be obtained at this stage, as far as he knows, seem to be those famous guns in the historical world. But those guns often only come with special effects and are not excellent weapons in themselves - for example, in "Jesus"
The "Gear of Longinus" that appeared in the world of "The Passion" has the skills "God Killer" and "Wind of the King" - each of these two skills can inflict heavy damage to a creature with divine blood and destroy its immortality.
; The other one can greatly enhance the attributes of oneself and his comrades, which is indeed very powerful. Unfortunately, the gun itself is actually just an ordinary spear, with a level of only one star. It was killed in a battle not long after it appeared.
It was destroyed and scattered into many fragments with only cultural relic value.
Similar ones include "Dragonfly Cut" and "*** Hao" in the background of the Warring States Period; "Dragon Cavalry Point" and "Hao Gentian" in the background of the Three Kingdoms of China; and the "Liquan Spear" in the "Shuo Yue" world.
"...These weapons are either too low-level, or they can only exert their full power in the hands of specific people - for example, the "Breaking Army Snake Spear" he once obtained, as Zhang Fei's exclusive weapon, comes with the "Breaking Army Snake Spear"
", the two skills "Shenwei" can only exert their full power when the holder is Zhang Fei himself. In the hands of others, they are just ordinary three-star silver weapons with good quality at best.
What Cheng Peng wants now is a more powerful weapon that can give full play to his full power!
But before that, he had to solve the problem of Qilin Fire Poison. Otherwise, even if he had good weapons, he would not be able to fight with confidence when faced with the threat of becoming a Qilin Demon after death.
After a brief explanation with Xu Tu, he left the stronghold again and stepped into the dangerous and bloody battlefield.
... Regardless of Cheng Peng who was heading steadily towards the Bingpo Fruit, Jin Yu and others finally got their swords back to their scabbards and returned to the world of "Legend of King Arthur" with great joy. They quickly pursued King Arthur's army and finally arrived at Gladiolus.
Time caught up with him.
"Your Majesty! Please wait a moment!" Jin Yu ignored the rules of marching and rushed through the military formation with a loud shout and came to the front of King Arthur.
The handsome knight king was now covered in dust, and his face was a little haggard from the long battle, but unlike the tired soldiers, he was still sitting steadily on the horse with a majestic expression.
"Jin, it's rare to see you in such a hurry." He smiled and said to the leader of his few favorite generals, "What is going on?"
Jin Yu didn't even have time to breathe. He jumped off the horse, took out the scabbard and handed it to King Arthur.
King Arthur was stunned.
"This...this is..."
"We found your scabbard for you!"
King Arthur was silent.
He knew very well how large the number of people who snatched the scabbard was, and he also knew that those people were supported by his sister, the great witch Morgan, so he had long given up the idea of retrieving the scabbard - in fact, he
He didn't think he could survive the coming battle, and had even made up his mind to make a will to pass it on to Jin, his most trusted knight.
However, Jin actually took the scabbard back!
As the great magician Merlin said, the real important thing about the King's Sword is not the sword but the scabbard, because the person wearing the scabbard will never be injured on the battlefield.
Such a treasure, I wonder how much effort and price Jin and his friends spent to get it back... He sighed and reached out to take the scabbard.
At this moment, a white light emerged from the scabbard and transformed into an oriental young man wearing golden armor.
"Hello, King Arthur, my name is Cheng Peng, and I want to give you some advice."
"I don't know under what circumstances you read this paragraph - I just hope it's not too late, and everything is irreversible. But even then, I believe this paragraph will be helpful to you.
Bar."
“There is a saying circulating in the East that a good king must be able to do three things: 1. He must be able to identify the good and bad of people, be close to loyal and noble people, and stay away from greedy and despicable people; 2.
He must be able to understand people's talents and put the right people in the right positions; 3. He must control his desires and only consider the overall situation."
"You are an excellent knight, but as a king, I think your shortcomings are obvious. You blindly chase the Holy Grail, causing disputes because of your own likes and dislikes... Even now, you are launching a very risky war out of anger.
war, right?”
"I don't know if you can listen to my words - because not long ago, my monarch also launched an extremely dangerous war because of his own anger, which ultimately killed almost all the soldiers and himself - the reason why he can
The victory is not about how brave I am, who is called a hero, but because God favored him at that time... We are mortals and cannot guess God's intentions, so instead of counting on God's favor, it is better to fight a war that is more likely to win.
, right?”
"Okay, you are probably tired of waiting. I hope my words have not affected your mood."
The white light gradually dissipated, and King Arthur fell silent.
After a few seconds, he asked his subordinates: "Did you...see anything just now?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Fetion Letter" is a private chat. Except for King Arthur, the recipient designated by Cheng Peng, no one else can see his message at all.
King Arthur looked around, and the knights headed by Jin Yu were looking at him nervously.
He noticed that the soldiers were exhausted and the knights looked haggard.
They followed him and fought many battles.
After hesitating for a while, the King of Knights finally shook his head and gave the order.
"Go back, and send a messenger to make an appointment. I want to have a good talk with Mordred."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into loud cheers.
"Jin, if you have the chance, you might as well introduce the sage named Cheng Peng." Putting down the burden in his heart, King Arthur said easily, "I think I still have a lot of things that I need to ask him for."
