At eight o'clock in the evening, three groups of people in the stadium received system prompts at the same time.
[The final battle of the "Fourth Holy Grail War" instance begins now!]
At the same time, all the lights went out at the same time, and the stadium, which was originally brightly lit and as bright as day, suddenly darkened, but after half a second at most, the surrounding area became bright again.
Soft and cool light fell down, illuminating the dark grass.
Looking up, the moon, which was only half-rising, suddenly came to the center of the sky and became bigger than ever before. The light even made those who looked directly at it feel slightly dazzling.
Under such bright moonlight, the stadium seemed extremely quiet, and the three groups of people who were hostile to each other did not rush to take action, or even spoke, but looked at each other cautiously.
"I have a suggestion." It was Chu Fengge who broke the deadlock. She looked at King Arthur, who was standing quietly like a statue, protecting Ding Dan with his body, and said slowly, "Cheng Peng, you and I are both players.
Even if there is a winner, at least it should be after defeating the NPC."
Cheng Peng, who also used his body to protect Du Sanmiao, was stunned because he didn't expect her to say such a thing.
This decision is really puzzling - if Cheng Peng and Chu Fengge join forces, King Arthur will not be able to win no matter how powerful he is, and he may not even be able to inflict heavy damage on them. But the duel after defeating King Arthur will be very difficult for them.
Cheng Peng is definitely in advantage, but it is very disadvantageous to Chu Fengge - Chu Fengge's biggest advantage lies in his cooperation with Sunny Xiao and his ability to fly freely in the sky. This ability has a restraining effect on King Arthur.
, but it is meaningless in front of Cheng Peng - whether it is throwing a spear or shrinking from the void, it can effectively attack targets in the air.
According to common sense, at this time, Chu Fengge should recruit Ding Dan and King Arthur to deal with Cheng Peng. This will not only eliminate Cheng Peng reliably, but King Arthur, who is responsible for the frontal battle, will definitely suffer considerable injuries in the battle, so
In the subsequent duel, her chances of winning will be much greater. I think the reason why Chu Fengge asked Latin Dan to form an alliance during the day was probably due to this consideration... But now, Chu Fengge proposed to form an alliance with Cheng Peng.
, join forces to deal with King Arthur?!
This is simply equivalent to giving away the final victory!
"Why?" Cheng Peng doesn't think he is the kind of legendary figure who has the aura of domination and can make any enemy bow to him. Faced with such a good thing like pie in the sky, his first reaction is not to be overjoyed.
, but be vigilant.
Chu Fengge smiled bitterly and sighed, and replied: "I just don't want a guy who summons the characters in the original book to win the final victory - in that case, wouldn't it make us seem incompetent and completely inferior to the heroic spirits in the original work?
?”
Cheng Peng frowned and said nothing.
His intuition told him that Chu Fengge was probably telling the truth.
But how likely is it for someone like her to tell the truth?
Probably, it would not be more likely than those well-dressed politicians on TV news to tell the truth... So even if she seemed to be telling the truth, he would rather choose to doubt it.
Anyway, King Arthur will never be a cannon fodder. The worst thing that can happen in this battle is just a three-person melee. For him, that situation is already acceptable.
Many times, the reason why smart people fail is not because they are not smart enough, but because they use their talents to pursue too high a return, always thinking about nothing, always thinking about making a big difference, always thinking about getting as much as possible
You reap the benefits. In the end, greed is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant, and your cleverness is misled by your cleverness.
Cheng Peng, who is familiar with historical allusions, never considers the issue of greed and gambling on character. For him, it is enough to follow the established plan and get part of the benefits.
Trying your best to make a big fortune is not difficult to do, but if you want to keep making money and laugh until the end, "appropriate restraint of desires" is the most important key.
So after careful consideration, he decided to reject Chu Fengge's tempting suggestion of joining forces.
Maybe she won't be stabbed in the back, but for this cooperation, she needs to owe a considerable debt of favor - Cheng Peng is not afraid of owing a debt of favor. Friendship is accumulated through continuous debt repayment and debt repayment.
But he was unwilling to go into debt for such a meaningless thing.
For Chu Fengge, he would never get the Holy Grail, so it would be very cost-effective to sell him favors naturally. But for him, it was something he was quite sure of, so why should he owe extra favors?
Although the time was short, many thoughts passed through Cheng Peng's mind. However, he was quite good at cultivating qi and kept a serious and silent expression on his face, making it difficult for people to guess his thoughts.
When Chu Fengge asked him again if he was willing to join forces, he finally spoke.
"I remember what you said during the day." Cheng Peng said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I don't want to believe someone who still wants to join forces with others to deal with me during the day."
As soon as the words came out, not only Chu Fengge's face darkened, but Cheng Peng himself was also slightly stunned.
He didn't originally intend to say this...but after he said it, he suddenly realized.
It turns out that deep down in his heart, the most important reason is not suspicion of the other party or unwillingness to owe favors, but "face issue".
The issue of face can be big or small. In the big picture, it is about dignity and integrity. A man can be a good man. His head may bleed or his pride may flow. When things go well, he tries to suppress them. When things go badly, he tries to win over them.
What is he Cheng? To put it into perspective, it’s just a Holy Grail War, just a copy. The benefits are important, but why is it worth lowering your head for it and swallowing the breath of being blatantly plotted during the day?
!
To use an Internet famous saying, if you don’t take revenge, this idea will not be possible no matter what!
Watching Chu Fengge sigh and shake his head silently, Cheng Peng felt very happy. He just felt like drinking a glass of sweet ice water in the scorching heat of midsummer. How can the word "refreshing" be said!
"Thank you!" Du Sanmiao whispered, "A master is indeed a master! He can refuse such temptation! I admire him! To be honest, I was a little hesitant just now!"
"Actually, I am the same..." Cheng Peng replied in the private chat, "But after I refused, I immediately felt that my thoughts were clear - now I can definitely exert 120% of my strength!"
"Is there any mistake... there is obviously no world of "Yang Shen" in "Big Adventure"..."
"The principle of understanding thoughts is the same in all worlds." Cheng Peng laughed, turned his hand and showed the Ice and Snow Spear.
"Chu Fengge, if you want to fight, I will accompany you!"
Having said that, he felt that maybe he didn't need to fight this battle.
When faced with something irritating, people like Chu Fengge would most likely make the opposite choice to Cheng Peng.
Sure enough, as he expected, facing his almost provocative speech, Chu Fengge shook his head and did not answer. Instead, he looked at King Arthur with a wry smile.
"To be honest, if I fight him, I have no chance of winning." Her expression soon returned to calmness, and fighting spirit rekindled in her eyes, "But if the opponent is you, I am quite sure...
…”
"Really? It seems that I have been underestimated." King Arthur did not get angry, but showed a playful smile, "As for me, I never like to swallow my anger, so although it is not what a knight should do to hurt others with bad words, but
I still can’t help but say a few words..."
"If you were really sure that you could win me over, you would have been causing trouble for me these days. After all, my whereabouts have not been kept secret at all. You may sound nice, but in the end you are just trying to sell me a favor.
Just a lancer."
"I've seen this kind of trick too many times, so I'm not unfamiliar with it."
"Finally, I want to say a few thoughts." She pulled out the glittering sword of victory and assumed a fighting stance, "The so-called three knights refer to the three ranks of saber, lancer and archer. I
I originally thought that this statement was quite biased, but now it seems that, at least in this Holy Grail War, this statement is really correct."
"You really don't deserve to be called a knight!
Before she finished speaking, she and her sword turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Chu Fengge.
